Episode 144: Alcohol Kills
[Night watch, ask for the first booking, monthly pass, I hope you will support!]
With the death of the hungry ghost, the oil lamp went out, and then, there was an inexplicable force that collapsed, and then, the surrounding environment changed again, the original simple room instantly became dilapidated, and the hazy moonlight projected through the already broken roof, vaguely visible, the corners of the room were covered with cobwebs, the tables, chairs and beds were also covered with thick dust, and the fragrant human flesh in the dishes was also turned into a few pieces of white bones, as if it was still showing the sumptuous human feast that had appeared here.
"This-" Wang Erlang was dumbfounded, but the repeated horrors and frightens had more or less made him a little resistant, so he felt that he could barely accept this scene in front of him, at least, it was much better to face the hungry ghost directly.
In contrast, Jiang Chen on the side was much calmer, after all, it was not the first time he had encountered ghosts, although the hungry ghost was not weak because he had devoured a large number of humans, but compared to the zombie mandrill, there was still a little gap, with his strength, he was naturally fearless. What's more, now that the hungry ghosts have been killed by him, the scene in front of him is just the result of the collapse of the ghost domain, and there is nothing to be curious about.
The low-level fantasy ghost realm, even the female ghost Dong Xiaoyu, who met him for the first time, could do it, if it weren't for the purpose of giving Wang Erlang a warning, he would have broken it directly, and now all this is not beyond his expectations.
"Don't do this, hurry up and find a place to rest, we have to hurry early tomorrow morning!" As he spoke, Jiang Chen waved his sleeves and swept away a piece of dust, then sat down cross-legged and closed his eyes and meditated.
Although Wang Erlang didn't want to stay in this ghost place, the night outside was dark, and under the moonlight, there were many shadows, and he didn't know what kind of risk there was, so he didn't dare to walk around.
Cleaned up a clean place not far from Jiang Chen, and after sitting down, he couldn't bear the hunger in his stomach, and took out the dry food he carried with him, the cold and hard steamed buns naturally can't be compared with fragrant meat, and the cold water is no better than hot tea, but he will also deal with food and clothing.
There was nothing to say all night, and the next morning arrived, the two of them set off to continue to Guobei County, the mountain road was rugged and difficult to walk, even if the two rode horses, it took two or three days to arrive at Guobei County, it was daytime, and the people in the streets of Guobei County came and went, and it was very lively.
"Zhiqiu Dao Chief, this is where my friend's house is. Wang Erlang led Jiang Chen through several streets and alleys, and came to a large-scale mansion, there was a plaque in front of the door, mentioning the word "Liu Mansion", inside and outside the open gate, four elite guards guarded, and at a glance, they knew that they were practicing real kung fu.
Jiang Chen looked at it in his eyes, where he didn't understand, this Liu family seemed to be wealthy, and even above Wang Yi's family, but this was no different to him, so he just nodded indifferently: "Well, since you have arrived, what are you waiting for, hurry up and greet someone, it is important to treat the disease." ”
"Okay. Wang Erlang responded, and immediately shouted loudly at a nurse guarding the door outside the door: "Liu Qi, I don't know if Uncle Liu is at home? ”
"Ah! It's Wang Ergongzi who is here!" The guards at the door obviously recognized Wang Erlang, and among them, the one standing on the left side immediately greeted him with a smile: "Wang Ergongzi, what you just said is true?"
"Okay, you're Liu Qi, since I opened my mouth, can I still fake it?" Wang Erlang snorted lightly, and said: "Don't say anything else, just rely on my friendship with Brother Liu, and I will never cheat on this matter, go and report it, it has nothing to do with me, but you can't afford to be guilty of delaying the time of the master." ”
"Yes, yes. Liu Qi glanced at Jiang Chen beside Wang Erlang, and then hurriedly responded with a flattering face, while leading Wang Erlang and Jiang Chen inside, while leading people to report to the inner mansion.
Soon after the group entered the door, there was an old man in Chinese clothes in his forties and fifties in the front hall who greeted him, Wang Erlang bowed his hand and called him uncle, obviously, he was Liu Xun's father, when Wang Erlang introduced Jiang Chen, he saw Jiang Chen's young appearance, and couldn't help frowning: "This little Taoist, I don't know how sure you are of curing my son's illness?"
"Five points. Jiang Chen said indifferently: "Before I see the patient, I only have five points of certainty, and the remaining five points, I can only make a decision after seeing the patient." ”
Master Liu has seen a lot of immortals, Taoist chiefs, and senior monks during this time, and they all blew the sky at the beginning, but the result was helpless, which made him disgusted with these so-called masters, and at this moment, listening to Jiang Chen's modesty, he had a little more trust, so he said: "That is the case, please also ask the little Taoist to follow me to the children's room to explore." ”
"Well said, well said. Jiang Chen answered, and then followed behind Master Liu and walked towards Liu Xun's room, the scope of the Liu family's mansion is quite large, Liu Xun's room is in the backyard, when the group came, but saw that in the backyard, whether it is trees and flowers, or fenced rockeries, all of them are hung with large and small runes.
Jiang Chen glanced over, his face was full of weirdness, and he saw that Master Liu was weak for a while, and said in his mouth: "These are all left by the previous monks, Taoist leaders, and great immortals, and they are said to be able to prevent monsters from entering the Liu family......"?
"It's all useless. Jiang Chen sneered incomprehensibly, and then, I saw him raise his hand slightly, gently rotate his palm, and suddenly, all the charms in the courtyard, large and small, all over the place spontaneously combusted at the same time, but between breaths, they burned completely.
"This ......" Seeing this, Master Liu couldn't help but be stunned for a while, but he heard Wang Erlang smile proudly: "How about it, now believe my words, I'll just say it, this Zhiqiu Daoist I invited, but the master of the magic power, how can those ordinary Taoist monks be compared?"
"Erlang said very well, Zhiqiu Dao Changguo has magical powers!" "When he came back to his senses, Master Liu immediately echoed his voice, and even the name was directly upgraded from 'Xiaodao Chief' to 'Zhiqiu Dao Chief', and between his words, he was even more full of joy, after all, the greater Jiang Chen's ability, the greater his hope of curing his son.
The group continued to move forward, many charms encountered along the way spontaneously combusted into ashes in the shortest possible time, and after a while, they came to the small courtyard where Liu Xun lived, and before entering the door, there was a strong smell of wine coming to the face, Liu Lao said with a sigh: "Zhiqiu Daochang, this is the courtyard of the child, his illness, presumably Erlang told you, how it is, you have to go in to see it in person." ”
"Hmm. Nodding slightly, Jiang Chen then walked through the courtyard under the personal guidance of Master Liu, and came to the door of the inner chamber, and Liu Qi had already shouted loudly on the side: "Xiaohong, open the door quickly, the second prince of Wang invited a Taoist master to treat the young master!"
Hearing Liu Qi's shout, the door opened from the inside with a "squeak", and then, a sixteen or seventeen-year-old red-clothed maid poked her head out and said with a little sneer: "Another Taoist master, don't be the same as the one last time, the illness was not cured, but she gave herself drunk, causing our young master to suffer together." ”
"Hugh is talking nonsense!" Seeing this, Old Man Liu shouted loudly, "Daoist Zhiqiu is a real Dao Sect master, how can it be compared to those fake magic sticks before, quickly retreat." ”
"Master!" Seeing that it was Master Liu who scolded her, Xiaohong was suddenly startled, and hurriedly lowered her head and retreated to the side, but, looking at Jiang Chen's eyes, there was still a little contempt and questioning, obviously, she didn't want to believe in any Taoist or senior monk anymore.
Jiang Chen glanced at her, the corners of his mouth tilted up slightly, outlining a light smile, and then, under the guidance of Master Liu, he entered the room.
The huge room, like overturning countless wine jars, the air is full of strong wine, making people take a breath, there is the illusion of drinking a glass of spirits, not long after, Master Liu, Wang Erlang is already full of red, but Liu Qi, quite a little capable, at this moment, still look as usual.
Through the air full of the smell of wine, it can be seen that inside the room, on the bed by the window, there is a young man with a yellow face and thin muscles, I don't know how much wine he has drunk, his stomach is swollen and round, like a pregnant woman pregnant in October, at this moment, he is in an unconscious drunken state, but his mouth is still crying incessantly: "Wine, wine, bring wine" (to be continued). )
