Ghost Bookstore

"The Zhang family?"

Lu Feng froze, hearing Zhang Xuan's tone, he seemed to know something.

"During the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, there were two exorcist families that were famous for exorcising demons for the royal family many times. Among them, one was the Bai family, and the other... was the Zhang family."

"You mean... Zhang Xiao's family used to be an exorcist family?" Lu Feng was dumbfounded.

And Zhang Xiao on the side was also shocked.

"That's right. However, the prosperity and decline of the family was only in a flash. Due to some things... the Zhang family split up. Some of the Zhang family went to the north, and then they seemed to have started fighting; and some of them went back to the deep mountains in the south. Started a life of seclusion." Zhang Xuan seemed to think for a while, then looked at Zhang Xiao and said: "Zhang Xiao's lineage, visually, belongs to the northern school."

Zhang Xiao couldn't believe it.

"I'm not sure, but judging from your description just now... it shouldn't be wrong. In some antiques, there will be some spirits hidden in the dark place buried underground for a long time. After thousands of years, it will become evil spirits and ghosts." If that kind of thing flows into the human world, it will definitely cause a lot of trouble. I have to say that Zhang Xiao's lineage has done a good thing." Zhang Xuan sighed, and then got up to pack the steamer.

"Things are almost clear. No wonder the first time I saw Zhang Xiao, I found that your inspiration is very strong, and you even have your own magnetic field. As long as you learn a little bit and use it properly, the magnetic field will be transformed into thought power for you. If you use it, maybe you can become a first-class exorcist in this world. Alright, let me put a steamer first." Zhang Xuan stacked the empty steamers high, and was about to carry them back to the corridor in the kitchen, but Zhang Xiao suddenly pulled him back.

"Why... why do you know the Zhang family so well?" His voice trembled.

Zhang Xuan, who stopped in his tracks, turned his head, and then chuckled lightly. That kind of smile, like catkins in March in spring, was undisciplined and extremely unpredictable.He smiled loosely, and the words in his mouth were very plain.

"That's because I was once a member of the Zhang family."

……

Zhang Xiao was speechless for a moment.

And Lu Feng, who had been sitting quietly at the side, was dumbfounded after hearing the last sentence.

Looking at Zhang Xuan's background, he suddenly became curious about his relationship with Zhang Xiao.

Since he used to be a member of the Zhang family, it means that he and Zhang Xuan actually have a certain blood relationship.

Thinking of this, Lu Feng turned his head, wanting to check on Zhang Xiao's situation.Unexpectedly, Wen Rendiao actually sat next to Zhang Xiao with Hei Shuai in his arms. His eyes were dark, and he stared expressionlessly at Zhang Xiao, who was bowing his head and thinking.

Then I heard that he approached Zhang Xiao.

"So you are a descendant of the Zhang family..." The voice was toneless, even a little cold...

The cold voice in his ear made Zhang Xiao jump up in fright.

"Wh...what's the situation, you scared me so much!" Zhang Xiao exclaimed, and then leaned on the chair and patted his chest lightly. Are you trying to scare me to death?"

"Oh. I would like to, but Xuan'er will be angry."

"..." Zhang Xiao pursed his lips and was speechless.

"What happened to Zhang Xiao just now? Dead Mandrill, did you bully him?" Zhang Xuan started to question Wen Rendrill just as he came out of the corridor. It seemed that he had heard Zhang Xiao's exclamation just now.

"Where do you dare~"

"Hmph! You don't even dare to measure." Zhang Xuan straightened his bathrobe, then raised his head and glanced at Lu Feng and Zhang Xiao: "Hey! You two, there are a few vacant rooms at the back of the corridor. You can choose by yourself. After you choose, remember to check the number of the room. Tell me, so I can give you the key."

Room?

What Zhang Xuan meant was that he agreed with Zhang Xiao to live here?

Lu Feng glanced at Wen Rendiao, and seeing that he didn't object, he understood.

Although he didn't want to involve Zhang Xiao, judging from the current situation, Zhang Xiao had to wade into this muddy water.

The long corridor behind the bookstore is deep, and at the end is a small kitchen.On both sides, there are several wooden wooden doors. Although they look simple, they all use modern door locks.

Lu Feng and Zhang Xuan sized it up.

Both rooms 1 and 2 are locked, and they seem to be the rooms of Wen Rendrill and Zhang Xuan.The remaining four rooms were not locked.

Lu Feng and Zhang Xiao looked at the room respectively, and then walked out of the corridor one after another.

"I want the innermost room No. 3." Lu Feng spoke first.

It was a room with floor-to-ceiling windows, which was Lu Feng's favorite design.The moment he saw that window, Lu Feng fell in love with that room.

"Then I want the room opposite Lu Feng, No. 4." Zhang Xiao spoke from behind Lu Feng.

Zhang Xuan nodded when he heard the sound, and then took out two keys from his sleeve.

"Okay. Then I will trouble the two of you to look after the store~" He got up and patted the bathrobe behind him: "Today, the dead mandrill and I are going to the Yama Realm, and we may not be able to come back at night. I entrust you to the store, if there are customers Just come to the door and treat it like yesterday. When it comes to matters after the soul book, let’s talk about it after we come back. Remember, don’t be brave, and don’t forget to contact us if there is any situation. "

As if thinking of something, Zhang Xuan touched his sleeve, then turned his head, took out a red string tied with a bell, and handed it to Zhang Xiao.

"As a member of the Zhang family, as a senior, I naturally have to give you some treasures. This is the soul-binding bell, which usually doesn't make a sound. Inside the bell is a small bug that can sense spirits. Spiritual bodies When approaching, the bug will panic, and then the bell will ring. The more flustered the bug, the louder the bell, which means that the inspiration and resentment of the nearby spirits will be stronger. Fortunately, the sound of this bell can dispel most of the The mind power of the spirit body. Come, take it~"

Before Zhang Xuan finished speaking, Zhang Xiao took the bell with a big hand and tied it to his left wrist.

"Lu Feng also don't forget, if you have anything to do, remember to press the ring. Hei Shuai is also handed over to you~" Wen Renbai smiled slightly, and then handed Hei Shuai who had already fallen asleep in his arms to Lu Feng.

"By the way!! I almost forgot, you must remember to keep an eye on Hei Shuai and don't let him approach the kitchen!" Zhang Xuan suddenly approached Lu Feng, his expression was dark but his words were soft: "That stupid dog, if he approaches In the kitchen, just tell him, tomorrow we will eat magic dog hot pot!!"

Wen Rendrill shook his head helplessly, and dragged Zhang Xuan away from the Thirteen Bookstore with big strides. During this period, Zhang Xuan did not forget to turn his head and shout: "Be sure to remember..."

Before finishing speaking, Zhang Xuan disappeared at the door of Thirteen Bookstore together with Wen Rendrill.

.

Looking at the door of the bookstore, Lu Feng sighed after staring at the moving one in his arms.

Is it a Samoyed named Heishai?

Thinking of Zhang Xuan's last attitude just now, Lu Feng couldn't help feeling a little funny. It was the first time he saw Zhang Xuan caring so much about one thing, even though it was the kitchen behind the corridor...

Holding back his smile, Lu Feng hugged Hei Shuai and sat in front of the counter, while Zhang Xiao took a chair from the reading area, and immediately sat beside Lu Feng.

He quietly stared at Lu Feng without moving.

"What are you doing here?" Lu Feng was a little uncomfortable being stared at by Zhang Xiao.

"Look at you."

"Look at me?"

"That's right, you are in charge of looking after the store, so I will naturally take care of you, sir." Zhang Xuan laughed all over his face.

"Hehe—" Lu Feng originally wanted to refute Zhang Xuan, but was interrupted by a girl's voice.

"Excuse me... is it convenient to read here..."

At some point outside the store, there stood a handsome girl.

Her eyes were glazed, and her voice sounded weak.

"Of course, please feel free." Lu Feng stood up holding a certain one, and nodded towards the girl.

The girl stepped into the store door tremblingly, lowered her head slightly, and walked straight to the bookshelves in the store.She looked very young, probably not much older than Lu Feng and the others.

However, since she appeared here, it means that she is dead...

The girl quickly chose a pink book that looked brand new, but this time the name of the book was very vague.

Lu Feng couldn't see clearly, the names on the books looked like ink stains after smudging.Lu Feng paused, holding back the doubts in his heart. According to the previous procedure, he only asked the girl's age, and after paying the amount, the girl left quickly.

21 is old.

At such a young age, this girl is only two years older than Lu Feng and the others.

She is a very shy girl, tall and thin, and she doesn't look in good shape.

Lu Feng stared at the figure going away for a long time...

But Zhang Xiao has been standing beside Lu Feng observing his expression.

"Hey, what's that expression on your face!" Zhang Xiao paused, then looked down, "Here, here." He suddenly touched his pocket, and then handed Lu Feng a tissue.

Lu Feng raised his head with a suspicious look on his face.

Please, he didn't shed tears, at most he was just a little bit sad...

Just a little, really only a little.

In this world, I don't know how many people can't survive the day and night.

Lu Feng pursed his lips slightly, his expression suddenly sank.

However, what Zhang Xiao said next almost made him lose his temper.

"Wipe the drool." Zhang Xiao turned his head away calmly, and then scratched his hair.

"Damn it! You're just drooling!" Lu Feng almost fainted out of breath.Talking to Zhang Xiao, basically every 3 minutes, he would be so angry that he vomited blood...

"Pfft... I mean... wipe the drool of that Samoyed in your arms. Look, his saliva is dripping on your sleeve." Zhang Xiaoxiao's shoulders trembled.

Lu Feng narrowed his eyes and moved his gaze down.

I saw a certain Samoyed in my arms sticking out its tongue and looking outside the store without blinking, drooling...

And that saliva was wetting Lu Feng's sleeves drop by drop, and was sticking to Lu Feng's arm wetly.

"Black! Handsome!"

The sound of gnashing teeth came out of Lu Feng's mouth, Hei Shuai cleverly jumped out of his arms and jumped onto the cash register.

"Why do you call me uncle?! Wang." Sitting coquettishly, Hei Shuai raised his hind legs facing Lu Feng and scratched his head.

Zhang Xiao poked that head, and said to Lu Feng, "Dogs can talk, this feels really new."

"It's been said that the uncle is a magic dog! Demon! Dog! Stupid human being! Woof." Hei hopped his feet handsomely, and jumped straight on the cash register.

Seeing this, Zhang Xiao smiled and bent down.

Lu Feng narrowed his eyes, and after glancing at a person and a dog, he chose to ignore them.

Out of sight is pure.

However, regarding Hei Shuai's reaction just now, Lu Feng was a little puzzled. He wiped off his sleeves and sat down and asked, "By the way, Hei Shuai, why did you drool so much just now..."

Hei Shuai stopped and licked his mouth: "That's because the human soul smells delicious. Such a pure soul is really rare. I really want to taste it~Wow."

"You actually eat souls?!" Zhang Xiao was taken aback.

Hei Shuai glanced at Zhang Xiao, with a disdainful expression on his face: "So what? Sir, I am a hell dog, born to feed on souls. Wang."

Soul feeds... Lu Feng's heart tightened a bit, "...you won't always have..."

When Hei Shuai heard this, he suddenly became sticky. "...I haven't eaten a soul for 200 years. Ever since I was forced to leave Yama..." He lay on the cash register, rolled over, and then rolled back. "I really miss the days in Yan Luojie. It was really happy and happy. It's not like being oppressed by Death Xuan and forced to eat vegetarian here."

……

Lu Feng and Zhang Xiao looked at each other without speaking.

"The human soul just now looks delicious..." Hei Shuai licked his mouth again, and rolled again by the way.The chubby appearance is quite cute.But for Lu Feng and Zhang Xiao now, the one in front of them is a hellhound wearing a Samoyed skin that feeds on human souls...

Zhang Xiao leaned on the cashier and stared at Hei Shuai for a long time: "Hearing what you said, I'm a little curious about that girl's last wish."

Zhang Xiao's words reminded Lu Feng.

He should be able to see the contents of that girl's soul book.

Lu Feng walked to the previous bookshelf, and as expected, there was only one book "Father and Son" on the shelf, and now there was a book quietly and neatly placed on it.It is pink, compared to the old and yellowed "Fathers and Sons" next to it, this is a brand new book.

Lu Feng stepped on his feet and took the book down.

The name on the book is like smeared ink, which is a bit dazzling on this brand new book.

That's right, this is the one that was just bought by a girl.

And the book in his hand now is the soul book in which the girl's last wish was written.

Lu Feng raised his eyes, and exchanged a glance with Zhang Xiao who was leaning over beside him.
