Shopkeeper and God

I don't know how to say it back.Just when he was in a daze, Baochen had already stood up and walked outside the door, saying, "I'll go see what's going on outside." That Jiulang who killed a thousand swords is probably dead.

Lu Xing didn't respond, and Baochen didn't intend to wait either.He went downstairs, Chen Yiguang anxiously asked him about Lu Xing's situation, Baochen asked him to go up and talk to Lu Xing, the child didn't suspect anything, and happily went upstairs.Baochen looked outside the door, there was no movement there, and the three golden locks on the door were intact.He went forward, unlocked the locks one by one, and only slightly opened the door a crack, and saw Jianghong slipping in through the crack like a snake.

Baochen expressionless, he looked at the alley outside the door.There was no trace of life in the alley, only the deep blood on the ground and a broken butterfly floating in a pool of blood.

Baochen didn't take a second look, he closed the door again, raised his hand, and attracted the golden light to wipe away the blood stains inside those doors.The sun was setting towards the west, and he raised his hand to look at his watch. At 05:30 in the afternoon, it was almost time to prepare dinner.

Flower of Shimizuki (1)

In September, the weather is quite autumnal.In the middle of the month, Chen Yiguang started school. The sixth grade of elementary school had more morning and evening self-study than other grades. Naturally, the time for going to and from school also changed.Sometimes Lu Xing couldn't get up in the morning, so he asked Baochen to make breakfast.Baochen had no objection either, after making breakfast he sent Chen Yiguang to school before going grocery shopping, and by the way, he also arranged for Lu Xing to offer incense to his master every morning.

Three pillars of incense, a table of breakfast, it's a good day when someone takes care of you.

After that incident, Baochen never asked Lu Xing "Do you like me" again.They are both adults and naturally know how to measure, so the two of them pretended that they had never said such a thing, and they got along just like they used to.And those who sought revenge had avenged themselves, and sent Lu Xing many thank you gifts one after another.Lu Xing didn't accept it at first, but he couldn't bear their soft and tough talk, so he ordered that there would be no next time, and accepted them all.

Probably because of the rumors about the incident last time, in the past half a month, Qi Xie has accepted six or seven commissions.It's good that the business is booming, but Lu Xing suffers from lack of rest. These days, he gets up later and later.Today was even worse. When Lu Xing opened his eyes, the sun was high and the clock pointed to 10:30.

When I went downstairs, there was no one in the hall.The incense for offerings was all burned out, and the breakfast was naturally cold.Lu Xing looked at the time, guessing that Bao Chen would be back later, so he simply packed his breakfast and wanted to heat it up at noon, while he made a pot of black tea.However, the tea was too hot and Lu Xing couldn't drink it. He could only look at the pot of shisha tea, and suddenly realized something.

Have you already been disabled at the ninth level of life?When Baochen wasn't here, how did he drink tea?

Of course, this loss of memory did not cause much trouble to Lu Xing, and the courtyard door was pushed open at this moment.Lu Xing thought that Bao Chen had come back, turned his head and saw him squatting outside the door, and only put the bag in his hand into the door.He seemed to be holding something outside the door, and when he saw Lu Xing standing in the hall, he said, "Someone fainted outside."

Lu Xing was taken aback, this situation was a bit unexpected.The shopkeeper's keen intuition told him that something serious might have happened. He trot across the patio resolutely, turned half of his body to look outside the door, and saw a young man in gray sky blue leaning unconsciously outside the door.Baochen shook him, but seeing no response, he raised his hand to pinch him.The young man's face was a little pale, but after being pinched by Bao Chen, there were some slight changes in his expression, and there was a sound from his dry and chapped lips, obviously the situation was not too bad.

While Lu Xing lifted the vegetable bag, he asked Baochen to carry the boy to the guest room on the second floor. He went to the kitchen to put the things away before going there.Bao Chen agreed, and when Lu Xing came out of the kitchen, he saw the tea hanging out, so he brought it along with him.When Lu woke up and arrived in the guest room, Baochen had already put him on the bed.

Although the boy was in a coma, he seemed to be aware of changes in the outside world.He snorted twice, frowned, but lay still.Lu Xing carefully sat down next to him, and raised his hand to feel his pulse, while Bao Chen was watching from the side without saying a word.Lu Xinghao finished one hand and was about to change the other, but the boy snorted, shook his body, and woke up.

Since he woke up, it means that there is nothing serious, but the boy just woke up, and his eyes are still quite confused.He looked at Lu Xing and then at Baochen, and then turned his eyes to look at the clothes on Lu Xing's body. His dark eyes suddenly brightened, and he woke up completely.He opened his mouth suddenly and wanted to say something, but he was anxious, he sucked in a breath and choked his throat first, so he had to cover his mouth and cough first.

Lu Xing smiled at his appearance and was not annoyed. He just helped him up with a smile and patted his back before passing him the tea.The young man coughed for a long time before he stopped. Seeing the tea being handed over, he was not polite, so he drank it in one gulp. Then he recovered, raised his face that was red from coughing, and looked at Lu Xing eagerly. He grabbed Lu Xing's clothes with his hands.

Before Lu Xing's clothes were torn, Bao Chen was concerned about this aspect, watching the young man grab Lu Xing's clothes, his expression was unavoidably ugly.Lu Xing didn't care, and let the young man grab him, and he yelled in a hoarse voice: "My lord...I, I am Shiweimu'Shoumu', my name is Tuanling, I, I also invite you Shopkeeper, go and save Siweimu!" ​​He was about to kowtow as he spoke.Lu Xing was confused when he heard that, he hurriedly stood up and supported him, and asked, "What happened?"

The so-called "Shoumu" are a group of special monsters.In the ancient prehistoric era, heaven did not exist, and the underworld had no roots to follow. Humans and gods coexisted in the human world, so many strange trees and grasses were planted.When the gods return to their place, these plants and trees rooted in the world will become the products left by the gods.Some plants and trees belong to the land of the mountain gods in the human world, but more are guarded by the "shoumu" race of monsters. The origin of "Shoumu" is unknown. Modern exorcists basically believe that "Shoumu" is formed by the essence of exotic flowers and plants, so they classify "Shoumu" as a kind of grass and tree monsters. There is no opinion on such a simple and crude classification method.It's just that "Shoumu" and the sacred trees and strange flowers coexist in the remote mountains and old forests, even if you look for them, you may be rare to see them, let alone appear in big cities on their own initiative.This young man named "Tuan Ling" actually called himself "Shoumu" and asked Lu Xing for help. It must be something wrong with a certain fairy plant, and Lu Xing couldn't help but feel nervous.

The young man named "Tuan Ling" wiped his nose, calmed down a little after being appeased by Lu Xing, and then said: "I am the 'Shoumu' clan who guard Shiweimu. The former...was wiped out." He lowered his head, covered his mouth and nose with his hands and took a heavy breath.Lu Xing's face was startled, and he couldn't help looking at Bao Chen, Bao Chen also frowned, apparently both surprised and puzzled.Looking at Tuan Ling's appearance, Lu Xing was suddenly nervous and didn't know what to say. After a while, he asked suspiciously: "I heard that the Siweimu will bloom this month, and the exorcist is asking you for the right to take pictures. Rejected..." How could it be that the family was wiped out overnight?

Tuan Ling pursed her lips when she heard Lu Xing say these things, tears welled up in her eyes, but she finally held back her tears.He wiped his eyes with his sleeve, and said fiercely: "It's because the Siweimu is about to bloom... The owner of the shop also knows that the Siweimu blooms once every 1000 years, and bears one fruit every 1000 years. The flowers and fruits are all magic medicines in the world. It has the effect of bringing the dead back to life. Those Rakshasa set their sights on the flowers of Siweimu and came to ask for them. Lord Rong refused, and those Rakshasa..." He shook his lips, and finally he couldn't continue, and he couldn't hold back his tears. , fell down.

Having said that, Lu Xing understood.It is a happy event in the world that the Shenmu flower once every thousand years is a blessing. Ordinary people only want to see it in this life, but some people really want to use that flower to do things.Naturally there is no elixir to bring the dead back to life, and there is only this flower of the sacred tree. If you miss it, it may be hard to find in this life.Those Rakshasa were probably going to use this flower to save someone, but the Siweimu "Shoumu" would naturally not allow it, so the Rakshasa simply wiped out "Shoumu", and just waited for the thousand-year-old flower to bloom, and they would be able to Take it off and go to work.

But, this is so weird...

Lu Xing paused, looked at the boy and asked again: "But, everyone knows that the four-flavored tree will bloom this month, which is already a big event. The day is approaching, but you said that 'Shoumu' was exterminated three days ago, For such an important matter, even if those Rakshasas block the news, there will be no leaks. Besides, you can escape from the extermination of the door and come to me..." Thinking about this kind of thing, I feel weird.

Hearing what he said, Tuan Ling raised her head to look at him, her eyes red from crying were watery, she looked very aggrieved and sad.There were still tears on his face and he didn't wipe it off, he just tried his best to keep his voice from trembling, and said, "Does the shopkeeper believe me?" It sounded very heartbroken.Lu Xing didn't speak, just stood and looked at him with a smile on his lips.Tuan Ling took a few deep breaths, calmed down a bit, opened her hand to hold a green leaf in front of Lu Xing's eyes, and said, "I'm here alone, and I don't have anything of value to use as a commission fee. .This is a leaf of Siweimu. I'll wait for 'Shoumu' to get one as a token. Today it will be used as a commission fee and handed over to the shopkeeper. Tuanling has nothing else to ask, but the shopkeeper can help us keep the four flavors Flower of the tree.
