Chapter 102: Blood Becomes a Pearl (I)
When I returned to the inn in a hurry, I found that the shopkeeper was still napping behind the counter, and it seemed that he didn't care about the person who came in. With a frown, I hurried back into my room and closed the door tightly. In this way, I sat on the edge of the bed, gasping for breath, fortunately I ran fast just now, otherwise I would have been caught by the disciples of the Discipline Hall, and the master's plan to divide the soldiers into two ways would have been in vain.
Now I can no longer claim to be a disciple of the master, otherwise the disciples of the Maoshan faction have already gone down the mountain to inspect, and they will definitely find out my identity. I was silent for a moment, and secretly told myself in my heart, Li Ergou, you will no longer be Li Ergou in the future, your name is Li Xianchu!
"Knock knock!"
I was stunned when the door suddenly rang, but I saw a figure standing outside the door, knocking on the door. I'm drumming in my heart, I won't be able to search this place so quickly, will I? I opened my mouth, and then slapped my head, yes, I have changed my face now, and as long as I don't meet Gu Tan and Shangguan Jin, it is impossible for the disciples of the entire Maoshan faction to recognize me as Yang Yuanshan's apprentice.
Also, I can't use the Maoshan Dao Technique casually in the future, I have to learn to hide my Taoism, and I don't use it indiscriminately. Well, since I don't have anything to worry about now, I don't have to worry about who the knocker is!
After thinking about it, I straightened my collar, walked slowly to the door, opened the door, and what caught my eye was the shopkeeper of this small inn. I was stunned and asked, "The shopkeeper, why didn't you come here early in the morning when you weren't napping behind the counter?" Haven't you already paid for the room? What are you doing at this time? He looked down and saw that the shopkeeper did not mention the teapot or wash his face, but held a broken notebook and a brush dipped in ink.
The big shopkeeper's mouth was grinning, and seeing him with such a thin face and buckteeth early in the morning really made people not interested in eating breakfast. The shopkeeper immediately smiled and said: "Hello sir, last night you two came to the shop to stay, at that time because it was too hasty, forgot to register your information, now all over the country is investigating, as long as it is a cultivator, you have to register, Mr. is really embarrassed, are you a cultivator?" ”
At first, I was stunned by this big shopkeeper, and then his words made me even more confused. What's going on? Could it be that this area is not in the Taoist priesthood? Why do you want to ask a Taoist priest to register your information? After the big shopkeeper finished speaking, he immediately looked at me carefully, I was wearing a washed white coarse cloth coat and coarse cloth pants, and a pair of black cloth soles were almost worn out, but the yellow cloth bag on my body could prove that I was a Taoist priest.
Because the yellow cloth bag is embroidered with a black and white Tai Chi and Bagua pattern, this is a typical match of a Taoist priest. Fortunately, I only have such a yellow cloth bag on me, and as for the contents inside, this big shopkeeper can't see it. After hesitating for a moment, my head was hot, and I suddenly squinted my eyes, stretched out my fingers and calculated, and muttered in my mouth: "Speaking of which, I am really a Taoist lineage, I am a half-fairy who goes south and north to tell fortunes and solve disasters, what else can I be if I am not a Taoist?" ”
"So you're just a fortune teller, huh? Then you won't have anything to do with the Taoist priest! ”
As soon as the shopkeeper heard my words, he immediately showed no interest in me, put down the brush, and said casually: "I see that you are a little brother, and you have the sign of the Daomen...... I dare to love because I was wrong, I thought you were a Taoist, since you are a fortune teller, then you can't pretend to be a Taoist, you don't know if you're from other places, recently in our area, as long as it's a Taoist, something will happen! ”
"What? It has to be a Taoist priest who has an accident? Look at what you, the big shopkeeper, say, this area is the ancestral court of the Maoshan faction, and naturally there are many Taoist masters gathered, such as ......" I cleared my throat, slowly pointed my finger at myself, and then said: "But you said that all Taoist priests have had an accident in this area recently?" That, the mountain man is actually not a Taoist, just a monk who travels all over the world, fortune-telling and disaster relief, and has nothing to do with Taoist priests, hehe! ”
After the big shopkeeper confirmed that I was not a Taoist priest, the sense of respect disappeared in an instant, and he immediately folded his arms to his chest and said lazily: "It's not what's wrong, little brother, you are a foreigner who only came here last night, right?" Alas, it stands to reason that you don't rush to the door when doing business, but I still advise you to finish your own business here as soon as possible and leave, anyway, you can eat anywhere you fortune telling, so don't join in the fun. ”
I didn't know that the big shopkeeper was finished talking about it, and then said: "Let me tell you, in our area, there are zombies who specialize in sucking human blood, and that zombie doesn't know what it is, but it specializes in sucking the blood of Taoist priests, as long as a Taoist priest passes by in this area, something will happen!" Recently, the Maoshan faction united several towns under the mountain and sent many disciples on the mountain to search for the traces of the zombie, as well as the notice issued by the town, so that all of us who do business must register all the Taoist priests who encounter outsiders, so as to prevent further accidents! ”
"Blood-sucking zombies?"
I was stunned, no wonder Maoshan sent so many disciples, it turned out that there were zombies in this area. But I haven't heard of any rumors of zombies in Jiangsu Province! However, there are many rumors of zombies in the area of Xiangxi, and although zombies are powerful, when they meet a Taoist, they have met a nemesis, and they should hide and avoid their edge. Why do the zombies in this area still choose Taoist priests to provoke? It's so strange, is there anything else in it?
"Name, Origin, Industry......"
Soon, after the big shopkeeper finished speaking, he asked me indifferently.
I immediately responded: "My name is Li Xianchu, I am a fortune teller who travels all over the world, and I am from Shanxi Province, but I haven't returned to my hometown for a long time, and I have no relatives in my hometown, and I still have ......."
"Okay, okay, anyway, you're not a Taoist, just a fortune teller, there's no need to remember it in such detail."
The big shopkeeper wrote a few strokes casually, turned around and was about to leave, but as soon as he turned around, he seemed to think of something, turned his head to look at me and said: "We also heard the news, the Gu Zhangjiao on the mountain, its disciple Shangguan Jin is looking for a nearby inn restaurant or something, it seems that he is looking for two people, saying that these two people are very suspicious, that is, the zombies raised by the two of them ran out to cause trouble for the people, I only remember what one of them is called Ergou, and I don't know the name of the other." ”
"Fart!"
I immediately scolded angrily, this Shangguan Jin actually spread rumors to me and Master outside, don't think I don't know your tricks, it's nothing more than trying to force us out. Turning around, but seeing the big shopkeeper's eyes slightly wide, I hurriedly explained: "That, that I just suddenly thought of an unsatisfactory thing, and I lost my temper slightly, I didn't mean your big shopkeeper's fart, don't get me wrong." Well, you're right, if those two people raise corpses for disaster, we righteous people will not let them go! ”
"That's right, the Maoshan faction has always protected the people in our area, and it is simply our patron saint, so we respect the disciples of the Maoshan faction very much, and whenever they need help with anything, we will naturally do our best to help. But obviously, Mr. Li Xianchu is not the second dog he is looking for, by the way, you were a small shop where two people came together last night, why is Mr. Li Xianchu alone? ”
The shopkeeper suddenly thought of my master, and while he was talking, he didn't forget to look into the room.
I immediately smiled and said, "That man left early in the morning, he and I all went to eat together, and got up early to go there." Now I live alone in this guest room, and if the big shopkeeper has nothing else to do, I will also pack up my things and prepare to go out to set up a stall to tell fortunes. "I pretended to stretch my waist, intending to drive the big shopkeeper away.
The ** lake of the big shopkeeper immediately nodded clearly: "Then don't bother Mr., if you check out today, you can handle it before noon." After speaking, the big shopkeeper took the notebook and brush and turned around and walked away. I watched the back of the big shopkeeper gradually move away, then closed the door, turned my head and cursed, damn it! Shangguan Jin has already led people to search for my whereabouts, presumably this is Gu Tan's idea, to catch me and the master in the palm of his hand, so that he can go to find the "Divine Ghost Oracle" with peace of mind, this bastard bastard, I can't clash with him head-on now, the news I just got about zombies sucking human blood surprised me.
It seems that Master's arrangement is really right!
If there is a zombie that sucks human blood, and it is specialized in sucking the blood of Taoist priests, then I must find this zombie and get rid of it! There is a master on the mountain and Gu Tan to deal with, I can let go of my hands and feet to find the zombie who is like a troublemaker, it's a little strange to think about it, but I just look for a Taoist priest to talk about, this zombie is quite tasteful! I couldn't help but touch my neck, in fact, I am a Taoist priest, although I am disguised as a fortune teller who walks the rivers and lakes, but the fundamental things have not changed.
So, will the zombie who specializes in looking for Taoist priests to suck blood find me?
Just thinking about it, I raised my head suddenly, but I saw a large white porcelain bowl on the table, and in the big porcelain bowl, there was also a bowl of water! Hey? I didn't pour water! And even if I pour water to drink, then there are teacups available, where can I get a big porcelain bowl? Did the big treasurer bring it to me? No, the big shopkeeper didn't enter the house at all, but just registered the book at the door.
Who would be putting a bowl of water on this table? I looked at the large porcelain bowl in front of me in amazement, and slowly walked to it, but when I saw a round blood-colored bead at the bottom of the water, I couldn't help but freeze...... Drops, drips of blood into beads? How could this be?!
I hurriedly ran to the window, glanced outside a few times, and finally opened the door and touched the outside, finally, I closed the doors and windows firmly, and returned to the blood into a bead, looking at the drop of blood, in the clear water, condensed into a golden-red bead, which made my heart turn over the river again...... Dripping blood into beads, this is a symbol of the cultivator, that is to say, a real entry Taoist priest, after accepting the orthodox inheritance, and being recognized by God, can drop blood into beads, take a bowl of water, and then the first drop of blood into it, not only does the blood not disperse, but the blood red emits golden light, such as the color of gold red, which is the proof of the true Taoist!
