Express delivery is a high-risk occupation

The sender of the last package was an extremely famous TV shopping platform. It was so famous that people like Xu Mu, who had little time to watch TV, let alone TV shopping, knew it from the courier boxes and the discussions of passers-by.

The cartons used for this TV shopping package are designed to be light and pressure-resistant, and regardless of their size, the eye-catching purple logo with a triangular bottom, "Huanyu Shopping", is uniformly printed on both walls.So, very recognizable.

The information on the courier bill was extremely simple. The address bar said No. 91, Qingping Lane, without the name of the shop, and the last line alone printed the recipient's name, Jiuzhang.

Compared with other awkward and unthinkable names, at least Mr. Jiuzhang's name is easier to remember, the courier boy thought optimistically, and kicked a few small tricycles by the way.

This address is not far from No. 79, almost in a blink of an eye.

No. 91 has half of the courtyard wall facing the street. The thin white wall is covered with blue-gray tile flowers, which are simple and thin. The black lacquered gate is hung with an old-style brass door knocker. The bottom of the door knocker is mottled, showing yellow wood grain.There are also two rows of thin bamboos planted on both sides of the gate, with sparse branches and leaves, embellished with white walls and gray tiles, which is quiet and picturesque.

Compared with other houses in Qingping Lane, this place doesn't look like a pavement, it seems to be a pure old-style house.

Xu Mu walked to the door with the box in his arms, and patted the knocker.

After waiting for more than ten seconds, no one responded, and the sound of the TV could be faintly heard from inside the door.

Considering the decibel value of the TV, the courier brother deliberately used more strength when he knocked on the door again.

"Who is it?" A voice came from the right side of the gate. Xu Mu followed the voice and found a very modern visual walkie-talkie behind the bamboo.

Is this intended for visitors or not?Xu Mu stared at the walkie-talkie hidden behind the bamboo at least half a meter away from the gate and remained silent for three seconds.

The person on the screen has straight eyebrows and a gentle attitude, with a striking red mole the size of a grain of rice between his eyebrows.

"Hello, is this Mr. Jiuzhang, I have your courier here." The courier boy quickly regained his senses, and raised the package in his hand to the electronic screen.

"Come in." The courtyard door slammed open halfway.

It's an automatic door?

Xu Mu took the package and stepped into the door. The place directly opposite the door was like a shadow wall, but it was surprisingly long. It was so long that it was sandwiched with the courtyard wall to form a five or six-meter-long narrow path. The floor was covered with black bricks with fine tile-like patterns. , estimated to have been remodeled.

Bypassing the narrow passage, there is a quiet square courtyard. The door of the room facing the courtyard is wide open. The man who appeared on the intercom screen just now is standing on a few steps high with a remote control.

There were three silver-gray metal suitcases at the door, and the luggage handles hadn't been pushed down yet.

The owner just came back from a trip?

Xu Mu glanced at the suitcases arranged from large to small to resemble WIFI signals, secretly guessing.

"1299 yuan! Just today! Live broadcast only today! For 1299 yuan, you can not only buy a pure kui cowhide mat worth 2999 yuan, but also get two extra cowhide mat pillowcases worth 599 yuan as gifts!"

The host's tone was sonorous and passionate, and it was very contagious. Xu Mu instantly understood that this was a TV shopping program.

This gentleman is probably a loyal fan of TV shopping. Turning on the TV before the suitcase is opened is too exaggerated!

Seeing Xu Mu, the man asked eagerly, "Is it the courier from Huanyu Shopping?"

"Yes, are you Mr. Jiuzhang? This is your package, please sign for it." Seeing the other party nodding, Xu Mu politely handed over the cardboard box and pen in his hand.

"Thank you." The man smiled brightly and signed his name on the form.

When he handed the pen back to the courier brother, he looked at the person in front of him with great interest, "Are you a freshman from N University?"

"Yes, level 15." Xu Mu took the list and nodded his thanks.Because he was in a hurry, he came out wearing a camouflage uniform for military training, with the school badge of N University pinned to his left chest, and he was indeed easy to recognize.

"Please take care of me in the future." The man nodded to Xu Mu, then turned around and carried the box into the house.

"You are too polite." Xu Mu quickly responded with a smile. If you like TV shopping, you should probably be a frequent customer of express delivery.

On the way back, when passing by the gate of No. 79 again, the courier brother suddenly remembered something. Isn't the Yokai Human World Code prohibiting threats, intimidation, and attacks on humans?

Is it really okay to live in Qingping Lane with such a blatant cannibal?

Xu Mu felt that as a good citizen, it was his duty to report this matter to the Human Realm Public Security Bureau in time.Especially when it comes to your own safety.

Linglingdu happened to have the door open, and Zhou Yezheng was holding a piece of paper with a serious expression, with a troubled expression on his face.

The delicate-eyed villain in official uniform that I saw last time sat cross-legged on the table in front of Zhou Ye, and also looked up at the paper, with his chin resting on his right hand, his brows puckered and his face full of sorrow.

Xu Mu stopped the little tricycle and walked over, saying hello to Zhou Ye, "Are you worried?"

Zhou Ye sighed and put down the piece of paper, "Financial issues."

No way, the government agencies of the Three Realms will also be short of money?Xu Mu raised his eyebrows in surprise, "Lack of money?"

Zhou Ye shook his head, "No, there is too much money, half of last month's budget is left."

Xu Mu: ……………

The next one is still too naive.

There is so much money that you can't spend it all, it really sounds like it makes mortals sad.

After hearing Xu Mu's worries about No. 79, Zhou Ye pushed his glasses and showed a gentle smile: "Don't worry, I've never won a game for more than 100 years since I never had bad luck in gambling."

Xu Mu: ……………

Such godlike luck!

"Besides, you can't throw it back to the demon world just because it wants to eat people. From the point of view of "thinking", at least half of the guys on this street want to eat people. After all, human beings have existed for thousands of years. entrenched on their recipes." Zhou Ye added.

Xu Mu: ……………

"What if! What if someone is eaten?" Xu Mu was silent for a few seconds and asked persistently.

"Don't worry, if this kind of thing really happens, we will deal with it strictly." Zhou Ye patted the piece of paper just now, "In this way, our budget will also have room to spend."

What should be paid for accidental death compensation can definitely be spent heavily.

Xu Mu: ……………

It sounds like I'm even more worried.

That night, Shen Liang originally took time off to accompany Xu Mu to the school's old library to check the Seven-Day Yang Sha Formation. Hearing that the matter had been resolved, he changed to instruct Xu Mu on breathing and talisman.

Feng Yuan worked overtime in the study drawing pictures, Zhao Yan and Fu Zhu hid in the two corners of the living room to practice, forming two diagonal corners.The center of the living room was reserved for Xu Mu and Shen Liang.

"I think your breathing is very good, but the talisman..." The little Taoist scratched his bare head in embarrassment, a little bit unable to say the word "bad".He still held a cup of taro ice cream in his hand, which Feng Yuan specially prepared for him.The black cat was lying on the sofa, lazily licking its paws.

"What's the success rate for an average person who just started drawing talismans?" Xu Mu looked at his poor results, and the success rate has increased by two percentage points in the past few days.

"I don't know." The little Taoist shook his head honestly, dug out a scoop of ice cream and fed it to the black cat next to him, "I only know that when I drew a hundred talismans for the first time, I failed six of them."

six?

90.00% success rate Four?

Xu Mu stared at Shen Liang, son, do you know that you are so god-defying?

"My first immobilization talisman can hold the time for eight and a half sticks of incense." The little Taoist stabbed again in a childish voice.

Xu Mu: ……………

The advertisement on the subway is right, there is no harm without comparison.

Hold back and let me be quiet.

"Why don't you draw a talisman for me to see now?" Seeing that Xu Mu's face was not looking good, Shen Liang cautiously suggested holding up the ice cream scoop.

Xu Mu nodded dejectedly, yes, he should let the little Taoist see if his talisman drawing skills can be saved.

He took out the yellow paper and cinnabar for practice from under the coffee table, and accidentally brought out a stack of documents, which was Feng Yuan's last house purchase contract.

Shen Hao glanced at the DM slip on it curiously, and then said excitedly, "I also have a set of this house."

"You have it too?" Xu Mu almost choked, the internal discounted price is also 400 million!One or two of you are so rich?

This kind of sadness that the world is rich and I am the only poor can hardly be more hurtful!

Shen Liang nodded, his milky jaw moved, "It was given by the old man who asked me to exorcise ghosts last time, but I haven't applied for an ID card yet, so I can only write Master's name."

You can get a house by expelling ghosts. This is the truth of 24K gold plating!earth!Hao!ah!

Taoist priests are indeed a profession with "money" prospects!

Xu Mu's eyes glowed with gold, he quickly set up the pen and paper and cinnabar, and began to draw symbols in front of Shen Liang. Driven by Qian, he drew more seriously than usual.

To be a glittering Taoist or something can be regarded as the highest ideal in life.

"It's not smooth." Shen Liang paused, as if he was thinking about how to say, "Although the spell is drawn, it should be done in one go, just like reciting a spell. If the writing is not coherent, it's like stuttering when reciting a spell. Discount. Well, do you understand what I mean?"

Not smooth?Xu Mu rubbed his forehead, he was indeed thinking about the next stroke every time he drew, that is to say, he was not proficient enough in drawing symbols, and the pen and ink were jerky?

"Also, this box of cinnabar is very good, but the yellow paper is too bad, it can't hold the aura, and the spells drawn are naturally ineffective." Shen Liang, who was holding the talisman paper, added.

When Feng Yuan opened the door, he heard Shen Liang talking about the talisman paper. He opened the refrigerator and took a can of iced drink, and poured down half a bottle with his head raised.

【No, the cinnabar is a gift from the master, but the yellow paper is the cheapest kind in the shop. 】Fu Zhu in the corner coolly mended him.

Xu Mu scratched his ear aggrievedly, the cheapest yellow paper cost five yuan a pack.

Feng Yuan raised his eyebrows, went back to the study and took out a few stacks of yellow paper and put them on the coffee table, and stroked the dull hair on Xu Mu's head comfortingly, "I bought it at Wenhuazhai when I was passing by Linhu last time, and I forgot to bring it to you."

Shen Liang picked up a stack of yellow paper, twirled it with his fingertips, and nodded vigorously, "That's right, Wenhuazhai is the best for yellow paper, and Zhipingzhai is best for cinnabar. Only in this way can the spiritual power be exerted."

I really didn't expect that a piece of paper should pay attention to the brand.

"Brother, you are really my benefactor!" Xu Mu opened his arms and was about to do a real thigh hug.

Feng Yuan patted his cheek, with a half-smile, "How about it, do you want to make a promise with your body?"

Brother, how can you say this in front of an eight-year-old child!Xu Mu withdrew his arm like lightning, and looked at Feng Yuan with a straight face.

Feng Yuan shook his head, and walked back to the study with his drink can in hand. It seems that next time he goes to Linhu, he will need to buy more yellow paper.

"Remember to buy this kind in the future." Shen Liang shook the yellow paper seriously and told Xu Mu.

Xu Mu nodded humbly, in order to become a glittering Taoist priest in the future, he had to spend a lot of money.

Seeing Xu Mu nodding, Shen Liang felt relieved, and passed the remaining mouthful of ice cream to the little black cat next to him, "Babu, I'll leave the rest to you."

The black cat scratched Shen Liang angrily, and jumped to the nearby shoe rack with the ice cream box in its mouth.

"Why is it called Babu?" Xu Mu asked curiously.

"Because I picked it up eight steps away from the Taoist temple gate." Shen Liang replied solemnly.The reason could hardly be better.
