Chapter 259: Debt Avoidance
After shopping, I discussed some things with Dai Mei about the cave mansion and said goodbye to the city god mansion.
I will take the ghosts to borrow the road from the Yangjian Road of the Chenghuang to return to the Yangjing, and Daimei will go back to the cave by herself.
Stayed in the underworld for so long. It was already noon when I returned to the yang world, and the ghost shop had not yet opened, so I called Li Qinghe, after all, the Xuanmen Family Conference was about to be held, and I had to study it in advance, and ask him about the Xuanmen Family Conference.
Li Qinghe proposed to get together tonight, and I readily agreed.
I dialed the phone number of the Liao brothers again, Liao Zhao made Zhao Yu black and white upside down, he was sleeping during the day, and he answered the phone in a hazy way, and I asked if anyone had sent something over.
Liao Zhao woke up in a trance: "One day? Last evening, there was an old man who drove a pickup truck to deliver something, didn't see you, and said that he couldn't believe us, and he stayed here directly, and slept in the guest room for a night, and he didn't know if he got up. ”
I was stunned. I was going to meet this old man, so I walked out of the highway and took a tricycle back to the Taoist temple.
When I got there, a strange old man was drinking tea.
The old man, who was in his seventies, with sharp-beaked monkey gills and a little strange-looking, looked at me and stood up: "You're a summer day, right?" My surname is Long, and my name is Eleven. ”
"Hello Long Lao, I am a summer day, and the humble house is simple. I am wronged by the old dragon, I wonder if the old dragon is the one who gave me the shield? I asked.
"Yes, it's me, the humble house is not simple, anyway, I see that your formation is a bit magical, and I want to study it. As a result, I didn't fall asleep last night, haha. "Long Shiyi, the old man, didn't have any swagger, and he also talked about the purpose of his stay.
"Long Lao was introduced to me by the farmer shopkeeper?" Before, Nong Guofu said that he would come in person, but at this moment, the owner of the thing is here, which is really unexpected to me.
"Hehe, the wealth of the country is not easy to trade, the old man has deceived him several times, so this time I heard that a knowledgeable person wanted a ghost king-level shield, so he didn't ask him for a penny at all. As long as you have your address, the old man is selfish, and he also wants to take the patron who buys ghost weapons like you directly in his hands. "Long Eleven doesn't hide it, tell the truth.
"Hehe, Old Long, you're good, he asked me for 10 million yuan for his shield!" When I heard this, my face turned green, this farmer Guofu actually asked me for 10 million! Cunning is great!
"Ahh The cost of this thing is only two million......" Long Shiyi was not reluctant, and sat on the stool, he didn't expect that this farmer would dare to sell a piece of equipment that didn't cost money at this price!
I was also taken aback, it seems that the old man was also scared enough by the profiteers that he even said the cost price.
"Long is always an expert in making ghost weapons?" I asked tentatively.
"Hehe, it's hard for a good woman to cook without rice, I'm an expert, but now the cost of materials is much more expensive. Recently, ghost weapons have been more difficult to sell, fast to make ends meet, easy to find a buyer, every time I have to give the farmer a rich pit again, a few of my own old customers, either dead and dead, or hidden and hidden, now in a good world, who else needs this? In the past, I occasionally did some business of ghosts in the yang world, but they were all poor ghosts, and I didn't do ghost business after several accidents, and the production of ghost weapons was also shelved, just selling inventory, and there were a few children in the family, and now I owe a lot of debts and run away, and I have to come out to run the business to pay off the debts when I am old, it's really impossible, that's it. Long Eleven sighed.
I picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Long Lao, Xijun was by my side, looked at it for a while, and then took the teapot from my hand and poured me a cup too.
I think it's funny, I don't stop her, Long Shiyi looked at Xijun well-behaved, and he was also quite fond of it, and wanted to reach out to touch the little girl's head, but halfway through his hand, he retracted and gasped. Estimating the saint's stupidity.
He actually knew Xijun's identity?
Xijun tilted his head, ran over and hugged me, and looked at Long Eleven.
"This is the little female ghost with a wishful bracelet? But where is the bracelet......" Long Shiyi asked suspiciously, as if he didn't understand what was going on.
He didn't know that the Ruyi bracelet was eaten by Xijun.
"It's this little female ghost, I treat her like a sister." It seems that the agent who provided the ghost weapon to Nong Guofu is him, maybe he is also an expert in studying ghosts, so it is not strange to know that Xijun is a ghost body, and other people may not even recognize me.
"Hehe, I can see this, being able to be so free-range is enough to prove your relationship with her." Long Eleven understood what I was trying to say, so he explained, and he seemed to wonder why the bracelet was missing.
"The bracelet was given to her." I hesitated.
Long Eleven's expression suddenly appeared: "I understand, God Devouring Ghost General!" No, it's supposed to be the God Swallowing Ghost King now. ”
My eyebrows froze, I didn't expect Long Shiyi to directly say the identity of Xijun, it seemed that he knew something, I hurriedly asked: "Long Lao, do you know the god-swallowing ghost general?" Can you tell us what kind of ghost it is? ”
Long Eleven thought for a while and said: "I only know the characteristics of devouring gods, it is similar to ancient gluttony, nothing is not swallowed, nothing is not its nutrients, as for the way of formation, it is unknown, maybe it is fusion?" Maybe it's something else, and it's not naturally formed anyway, but since it's a god-swallowing god, it's worth treating it well when you control it, and I see that you've cultivated it so well, you don't need to worry about it for the time being, it's just ......"
After speaking, Long Shiyi glanced at Xijun carefully, but he didn't dare to say it.
"Just what?" I was taken aback, thinking that Long Shiyi was afraid that Xijun would be angry when he heard it, so he hugged Xijun over.
Xijun obediently leaned into my arms, as long as there is a lollipop to eat, she is quite harmless, and I also have an extra pack of lollipops in the props I carry with me.
"Oh, maybe I'm too worried, you are a ghost raiser, you know a lot more than an old man like me, just treat her like this, yes, who are you Zhou Ying's predecessor?" Long Eleven asked about me.
"Grandson." How do you know someone again? I was dumbfounded, and my grandmother really made friends all over the world.
"Oh, she was my big customer back then, but it's a pity that she lived in seclusion." Long Eleven looked like this.
He didn't know that his grandmother had died? It seems that I have only recently reappeared, so I told the news of my grandmother's death.
Long Shiyi was stunned for a long time, and finally regretted it very much, shook his head and sighed, it seems that everyone used to have a lot of business dealings.
My grandmother met the shopkeeper Long Shiyi, who was good, but I met the treacherous and cunning farmer Guofu, who was really a creator.
We chatted for a long time, everyone was quite happy, and talked about some business things, and Long Shiyi did not hide it, and explained to me some of his ideas recently, including expanding his business scope.
I thought there was a play, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Old Long, I won't tell you, in addition to inheriting my grandmother's way of raising ghosts, I also inherited the Taoism of the Yin and Yang family, and I want to open a ghost shop in the underworld. ”
Long Shiyi listened carefully, and was very happy: "It seems that I have come to the right place this time, just now it is a pity that I made 10 million for profiteers for nothing, and now you actually gave the old man such a big opportunity?" But I don't have much material...... Ah, you are a yin and yang family, you can go to the underworld and get it for me, and this problem is solved. ”
"Long Lao thinks more clearly than me, that's exactly the case." I said politely.
"This thing is good, just follow what you said, by the way, I'm very strange, what do you want to do after you build the Four Little Immortal Taoist Temple? With so many houses, you can't live in so many houses, right? Last night, your two corpse kings and two companions went to the county seat and didn't come back, so I and a group of workers were here. Long Shiyi shook his head, feeling that it was a waste.
"This is the home entrusted to me by my senior brother on his deathbed, and his last wish is for me to rebuild the Taoist Temple of the Four Little Immortals, and after it is built in the future, it may become a place for friends to meet, or it may become a real sect, or maybe open a store or something, in fact, I am not sure, as for me, I have a special physique, and my cultivation method is mainly based on ghost Taoism, and I usually live in the underworld cave under the Taoist temple." I don't know why Long Shiyi asked, but after thinking about it, I understand, the old man seems to have a lot of debts, and he wants to come here to hide from the debts, right?
Long Shiyi coughed dryly, and said with a shy face: "I think you are quite safe here, and there are two corpse kings watching here during the day......"
"Elder Long, since you are a partner in the underworld, why don't you live directly in the Four Little Immortal Taoist Temple in the future? In this way, it is also convenient to make ghost weapons, plus I don't have to go back and forth to find you when I get the materials, and I still see you at first sight, and it is convenient for everyone to chat! I quickly snatched his head.
After hearing this, Long Shiyi immediately slapped his thighs, looking like he was in a trance: "That's right! Why didn't I think of that? is worthy of being the grandson of Zhou's predecessors, smart! ”
An old man and a young man looked at each other and laughed, hit it off and said some details, and arranged for him to stay, and when I took him to the guest room, I saw that the leather shoes under his suit had been torn, and I couldn't help but feel sad: Alas, the old man is also difficult, it is estimated that the loan shark is in a hurry, and he is afraid of being beaten, so he came here, at least when others come to collect debts, they don't dare to go too far, there is Zhao Yu, the corpse king who protects the calf, who dares to bully the door?
Seeing that the time is not early, I said goodbye to Long Shiyi and went to the county seat to date Li Qinghe.
Li Qinghe said that he was in charge of bringing people from Dalong County to the World Conference, as long as I arrived.
Except for the fact that Fan Xuwen almost put his life into it when he killed him, it has been smooth recently, and there has been no thrilling incident, it seems that someone deliberately took my business into his pocket, but how long can this temporary tranquility last? The Xuanmen Family Conference must have been a bloody storm, right?
