Breath of the Dead

"Don't listen to their nonsense."

The tavern owner smiled and served the freshly made skewers to the other guests, "They just came to have fun."

"Who said that? Boss, I believed in you so much back then. I believed everything you said."

"That's right, I almost went treasure hunting underground in Changzi City with you."

"That's right, if you say we are talking nonsense now, that won't work."

"..."

Looking at the lively situation in front of him, Gu Xi's heart calmed down. He took another sip of the wine in the glass, and the feeling that his whole body was burning appeared again.

At this time, Gu Xi lowered his head and glanced at the drink, feeling a little doubt in his heart.

What's going on with this wine?

At this time, the drinkers began to brag to Gu Xi again.

“You newcomers don’t know, but we old customers have survived by listening to the boss’s stories.

A long time ago, the boss might have been in his teens.

This store was opened by the owner's father.

One day the boss suddenly came over and said that that night, he secretly entered the secret passage under the bell tower in the center of Changzi City.

Following the secret passage, he entered the underground of Changzi City and saw a pure golden forest.

A human head shaped like a hill is enshrined in the center of the woods.

It was said that many black threads fell from the sky and stuck on people's heads.

He suspected that the heads enshrined in the woods were an evil magic circle set up by an evil organization to influence the First Son City.

For this reason, he studied human heads every day and night.

Finally, it was discovered that this head would have a spiritual impact on people.

People are slowly affected and eventually lose themselves.

So the boss developed this kind of wine. After drinking it, the effects on the soul will be excreted into oil and sweat. "

At this point, all the drinkers in the store laughed.

Some even hammered the table with laughter.

It felt like they had encountered something very interesting.

The boss also looked helpless.

When he saw Gu Xi's confused look, the same old customer said.

"You have just arrived at Changzi City. You may not know how highly confidential the bell tower in the center of Changzi City is.

On the surface, there are only five confidentiality levels in Hezicheng, but in fact there is another level of confidentiality that is higher than Class A. The bell tower has this level.

As for us, we are all just hanging around in Changzi City, and we may not always go to the D-level confidential area.

Not to mention the clock tower in the center of the city.

And also entered the secret passage under the bell tower.

Just think about it and you know it's impossible.

In fact, we all understand that this is a story specially made up by the boss to brag about his wine.

But the wine was really delicious, and we all knew that the boss was a nice guy and just wanted to brag, so we just believed him, hahahaha. "

The regular customer said that he believed in the boss's story while hammering his noodles. It was obvious that he was not smiling enough.

Listening to the stories told by the old customers, Gu Xi thought it was just a story at first, as the old customers said.

But after thinking about it, Gu Xi felt that it didn't seem like a story, because the wine didn't taste fake.

So Gu Xi ordered some of our specialty meat skewers, and then asked the boss when he was serving the dishes.

"Boss, can you tell me the details of your story? How big is the forest under the bell tower? The trees themselves are made of gold and have grown into a golden color.

Also, how big is the head enshrined in the woods? Can the head still move? "

After hearing this, the boss rolled his eyes at Gu Xi and said, "Don't be joking. I really don't have any stories. This is your skewer. Eat it slowly."

At this time, an old customer said: "You can't get anything out of the boss.

He hadn't told that story in years.

If you want to hear stories, you should go find Lao Wangtou.

He and his boss grew up together, and he can be regarded as the boss's mortal enemy. If the boss says something, he will say three things to him.

He studied the various stories told by his previous boss over and over again.

It can be said that he is most familiar with the details.

You want to hear the details, right? Lao Wangtou, come here. "

As soon as the old guest finished speaking, a bald head popped over his head.

This bald man was about the same age as the boss, and looked to be in his forties or fifties, but he had a horse face. In order to show that he was actually hairy, he even grew a mustache.

"What do you want to know? Come and ask me, I know everything."

Seeing Lao Wangtou's attitude of not taking it too seriously, Gu Xi also smiled, so he started asking about the story of his boss's childhood.

The key is not how to get into the bell tower.

Lao Wangtou said directly that the secret passage in the bell tower was fake, and no one had ever found any secret passage in the bell tower.

Gu Xi didn't care about this, he was more concerned about the golden forest and the huge human head in the heart of the forest.

According to Lao Wangtou's recollection, the head enshrined there was as tall as a hill and was a male head.

The head is placed on the ground, and the beard extends to a distance of thirty meters like tentacles.

When the boss discovered the human head, he thought there was some weird carpet on the ground, but later he discovered that it was the beard of the human head.

The boss made this very clear when he told the story, so Lao Wangtou also remembered it quite clearly.

Based on the length of the beard, the head was at least ten meters tall. As for whether the head was dead or alive, the boss did not explain it clearly. He just said that the head stared at him and he was scared and ran back.

As for the question of the golden tree, Old Wang had a lot to say.

He directly moved a chair and sat in front of Gu Xi, analyzing it there.

Old Wang thought that the boss saw the golden pine.

A kind of wood that looks like gold. He said: "In those years, this kind of golden pine was very popular.

Many people who renovated their houses specifically requested this kind of golden pine wood for decoration.

The weight of the wood and the luster of gold.

The most important thing is that this thing is wood, and carpenters can handle it. They can carve the golden pine into any shape they want.

It is a good material for cups.

At that time, we dreamed of having a forest of golden pine.

So brother, do you understand? No matter how much you brag, there is a source.

He will not brag about things he does not know.

So these are all fake. He brags about things to make his wine famous and to sell wine."

Gu Xi did not respond, but took a sip of wine and began to ask other details.

Through the supplement of details, Gu Xi slowly had some guesses about what the boss said.

In the eyes of these old customers, this is just a story about the boss bragging about selling wine, but for Gu Xi, many different things can be seen in it.
