flower and big devil

Go straight for eight shops.

turn left.

Go forward three stalls.

On the right, an antique shop.

Luo Xiu twisted his head, and then walked his eyes back and forth three times in the middle of a large row of quaintly decorated shops, each of which looked like an antique shop, and finally his eyes stayed on the only one It's not like an antique shop, but more like a sauna or other entertainment-related shops—this is an antique shop with a very trendy decoration (if the decorator really knows what a "trendy" is), Luo Xiu was surprised that the modern hip-hop style could be combined with antiques... so perfectly.

From the outside, it is a modern non-mainstream tattoo shop; from the inside, it is an antique shop specializing in old utensils and supplies, commonly known as antiques. Together, they become a sauna.

The enigmatic A+B=Z.

All the small objects in the store that seem to have really aged for some time are placed behind a transparent glass window. They are not placed on wooden shelves, but personalized built-in cabinets pasted with countless mosaic colored stones. There is a huge LED light box at the entrance of the store, even in the daytime, there are a few lines of large characters written in crooked Chinese and other languages ​​on the LED light box——

"Money can make a ghost run the mill."

"As long as you have money."

"Don't enter if you are poor."

At this time, Luo Xiu didn't know if the owner of this shop really understood the meaning of the phrase "money can make ghosts go round", but when he stood at the door of this antique shop and looked inside it was bigger than the teahouse. There were still lively people coming and going, he took a deep breath, raised his head, and at a glance, he saw the four big words "Living the coffin to get rich" hanging crookedly on the top of his head.

Luo Xiu: "..."

Walking into the store, the black-haired young man found that he had not been warmly received.

What came to my ears were the whispers of the customers in the store and the voices of the guys behind the counter who were calculating their accounts—the guy standing closest to the door was using a computer, and he was nervously tapping on the computer while He is quickly recording something with his hands; the person standing next to him is using a Chinese abacus, and the abacus dialed in his hand makes a clearer and louder sound than the keys of a computer; the third person in the past uses It was a computer, and the blue fluorescence of the computer screen shone on his pale face. His eyes were fixed on the screen without blinking, and his hands were typing on the keyboard. Luo Xiu looked and found that this guy Both hands actually have six fingers.

Something that looked like a snuff bottle was placed on a tray, passed from the person using the computer to the person using the computer, and finally the tray was passed all the way across the long counter into the dark, Luo Xiuyin vaguely saw a glamorous young woman with a human upper body twisting her soft waist that was a huge python from the navel down, holding the tray and sliding out of the shadows enchantingly, and came to a sitting room on the doorway. Beside the old tortoise on the table by the stairs on the second floor, she put down the tray and said something to the old tortoise in a low voice. It also emitted fluorescent beads, and it placed the huge night pearl on the snake spirit's tray, and in exchange, it took away the snuff bottle.

Sister Snake Essence smiled, and after seeing off the old turtle, she picked up the tray containing the night pearls again, just like when she came, twisting her waist and returning to the dark place, Luo Xiu vaguely He heard the sound of "ding ding" from the dark place, followed by the sound of a heavy and huge secret door being opened and closed.

Among the people coming and going, Luo Xiu stood there watching for a while, and it took him a long time to realize what he was here for.

After thinking for a while, he raised his feet and came to the shopkeeper who was standing in the second pit and buried his head in abacus. He took a deep breath, and before he could speak, he heard the other party speak with a strange accent without raising his head. The Chinese said: "If the blood flowing in your body is not Japanese or Korean - or if you are not blind, I guess you should be able to see what is written on the light box placed at the door of the store."

"I see," Luo Xiu said despite being baffled, "'Money can make ghosts turn mills', right?"

"No," said No. [-] shopkeeper, "it's 'Don't enter when you're poor'."

"..."

"The only reason I can bear to talk to you is because of the aquamarine stud on your ear-although it is the cheapest human-made decoration, it seems to have been touched by some specific people, and its The value has multiplied and increased a lot..." No. [-] shopkeeper raised his eyelids, showing the forehead lines on his forehead indifferently, and from behind a pair of glasses on his nose, he seemed to be looking at the Looking at him in that uncomfortable way, as if thinking about the young guest, "I guess, let me think about it...Young man, what do you want to exchange it for? A toilet used by Emperor Qianlong How about the circle?"

Luo Xiu subconsciously stretched out his hand and touched his earlobe - now it is not as red and swollen as before, but it is still painful when touched... The black-haired young man subconsciously shook his head: " I wouldn't trade it for anything."

"Oh," the No. [-] shopkeeper withdrew his gaze, "The conversation is over, the door is over there, let's go."

Luo Xiu didn't walk away, but moved closer: "I'm here to find a shoemaker."

"..." As the black-haired young man approached, the No. [-] shopkeeper retreated a little, "Excuse me, step back a little bit, the sour smell on your body makes it difficult for me to breathe, back away—back—that's okay Alright, the shoemaker doesn’t see the poor man, the door is over there, let’s go.”

Luo Xiu straightened his back and said expressionlessly, "The most beautiful day is not the rainy day."

"........."

"The most beautiful is not the rainy day."

"Well."

"Well?"

"Are you waiting for me to say 'the roof that sheltered you from the rain'?"

"Yes, you know," the black-haired young man showed a relieved expression, "I thought I was tricked by that crane."

"That's right, you're just being lied to by him, and you're not the first one, I've met a lot of people of all shapes and sizes to read this line to me over the course of a long time, and they all thought I like Jay Chou. In fact, I like Michael Jackson better. There are not many good singers who can be heard in the world, but this does not mean that old people have no right to pursue international superstars. A dime just to buy him a bunch of candied salmon eyes that no one will ever want to eat."

Shopkeeper No. [-] didn't give the black-haired young man in front of him any chance to breathe, but after finishing his words in a row, he raised his eyelids inadvertently, trying to let the black-haired young man who was stuck in front of his counter The person moved away, but when his eyes touched the meat dumpling sitting on the opponent's shoulder, he suddenly opened his mouth in surprise, and uttered a word under Luo Xiu's inexplicable gaze: "Your Majesty— —”

Luo Xiu felt that the tail of the fleshy ball that was loosely wrapped around his arm suddenly tightened a little.

And before the old man finished what he wanted to say, after a sudden pause, he closed his long mouth fiercely.

After a moment's silence, the shopkeeper who could speak Chinese and was obviously aged caressed his glasses. Instead of chasing Luo Xiu away, he took the initiative to get closer to him, narrowing his eyes slightly. The turbid eyeballs rolled, and his eyes scanned Luo Xiu's face carefully. Finally, his eyes stayed on the mole of tears under the eyes of the black-haired young man, and suddenly said: "The mole is not bad."

Luo Xiu raised his hand subconsciously and touched the tear mole that had grown from light brown at the beginning to red now: "...it grew out suddenly."

"It can be exchanged for a bed that Emperor Kangxi slept on, and a toilet seat that Emperor Qianlong used."

"I don't change things, I want to see the shoemaker."

"You have more valuable things on you than I thought," the No. [-] shopkeeper turned around and walked to the back of the counter. At this time, Luo Xiu found that his legs and feet seemed to be inconvenient. When he walked, he limped , The old man reappeared after turning around behind the counter, put a tray containing a black goose feather in front of Luo Xiu, and said solemnly: "Your Majesty Lucifer just fell from the sky. Feather, for the meatball on your shoulder."

Luo Xiu subconsciously wanted to reach out to grab the meat ball, but before he had time to reject the weird old man in front of him, the tail of the meat ball at the corner that hooked his arm shook violently, and the ball His body seemed to descend from his shoulders along his arms, and then plunged into the hem of his skirt, leaning tightly against his thighs. Under the skirt, the tail of the meatball was also wrapped around the black-haired young man. the base of the thigh.

In front of him, the old man's gaze was firm.

Luo Xiu couldn't figure it out, so he had to repeat: "I don't change things, I want to see the shoemaker."

As soon as the words came out, he instantly felt the tail wrapped around his leg relax a bit, as if he was still happy because of his decision, the small tip of the tail of the meat dumpling was raised up, and under the skirt, the black-haired young Gently scratching and drawing circles on the naked thigh.

very itchy.

Luo Xiu had no choice but to reach out and slap it across the skirt.

"Add another toilet seat used by Emperor Qianlong." The shopkeeper stretched out his hand, showing a bloody look, and he couldn't see that he felt that there was any violation of his words, "You know that His Majesty Lucifer just fell into the sky. How hard is it to find black feathers? The dark power is also mixed with holy power that has not completely degenerated—"

"You can keep such a good thing for yourself, you don't need to exchange it with me for a piece of useless pork." Luo Xiu showed an impatient expression, "Come back to business, where is the shoemaker? Mr. Xianhe said I can pass You found him."

"The shoemaker is our boss." The old man chuckled and put away the tray. "Of course you can find him through me. His name is a shoemaker, but in fact he can make a lot of things with exquisite craftsmanship. Every piece of work is valuable. Liancheng's works of art - but he won't see you without money, and you are not willing to exchange anything of value on your body - young man, has no one told you that when you ask someone for something When the time comes, you have to pay the corresponding price, jewels, gold coins, or... soul?"

"I just want a pair of shoes." Luo Xiu looked down at his bare feet, "The Duke of Darkness told me that I can come here to find a man named a shoemaker, and he will give me a suitable pair of shoes."

"Unless you can afford those expensive fees."

"Mr. Xianhe doesn't look like a rich man."

"It used to be rich, and the definition of 'rich' is not literal." While speaking, the No. [-] shopkeeper stretched out his hand, with his fingers pointing down naturally and vertically, with the palm facing inward, and the back of his hand facing the direction of the door, and swept, " The door is over there, go ahead."

After speaking, he lowered his head, grabbed his abacus and started typing again, and he didn't look like he was ready to raise his head to continue talking to Luo Xiu.The black-haired young man with a gray nose rubbed the tip of his nose for fun, turned and walked out of the antique shop. Just when he was wondering who this "shoemaker" who refused to show his face was, the meat dumpling came out of his Squeezing out from under the hem of the skirt, he jumped back to sit on his shoulders, and when it made this movement, Luo Xiu only felt something fluffy sweeping away from his neck Pass.

He turned his head and looked at the meatball sitting on his shoulder.

The latter turned his head and opened his mouth at Luo Xiu. The neat and beautiful black "goose feather" hooked on the tail dangled in front of Luo Xiu's eyes arrogantly.

[The feather that His Majesty Lucifer just fell from the sky.Do you know how hard it is to find the black feathers of His Majesty Lucifer when he just fell into the sky?The dark power is also mixed with holy power that has not completely degenerated...]

Luo Xiu: "...Where did it come from?"

Routuanzi: "Heck!!!!"

Screaming happily, the dark-haired young man watched as the meatball sitting on his shoulder grew its own mouth, and then stuffed the feather entirely into its mouth, like a vine on a vine. Like fruit, the feathers touched Routuanzi's mouth like candy melted in water, and the mouth of Routuanzi made a pleasant "humming, chirping" sound. After a few seconds, the "humming, chirping" The voice turned into "hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm" as if he was constipated, Luo Xiu stopped, took the meat dumpling by its tail and took it off his shoulders, at the same time, he only heard "poof!" There was a familiar soft sound, and the sound of the flesh being torn into pieces came to his ears. Luo Xiu watched a pair of mucus-filled, transparent, and fragile bone wings fully stretch out from behind the meat dumpling.

As they gradually unfold, they gradually become stronger and stronger at a speed visible to the naked eye!

Luo Xiu widened his eyes slightly in surprise: "Why..."

As soon as the black-haired young man finished his words, amidst the joyful cries of "Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr" of the meat balls that had just grown a pair of little devils, he vaguely heard what seemed to be a messy footstep behind him, The black-haired young man narrowed his eyes slightly. Amidst a cloud of dust, he first saw the No. [-] shopkeeper with "impaired legs and feet". At this moment, he was holding a heavy-looking spear in his hand, and rushed to the crowd like flying. The ferocious strong man was at the front, shouting as he charged, "Come on, catch the thief!"

To catch a thief?

Thief?

steal?

Luo Xiu turned his head and looked at the fleshy ball that he was holding upside down in his hand—obviously because he had swallowed some incredible—backbrackets of unknown origin—a pair of wings grew out of it.

Luo Xiu's face turned green. Seeing the vicious people in the antique shop getting closer, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and let go of Routuanzi's tail and grab it in his hand. At the same time, Routuanzi let out a "poof" There was a soft sound, as if it had a tacit understanding with the owner, and a long and sharp spike like the tip of a sword protruded from its mouth - at this time, the No. [-] shopkeeper of the antique shop had arrived Arriving in front of them——Luo Xiu grabbed the meat dumpling tightly, jumped up lightly, and stabbed the old man's spear with the spikes of the meat dumpling, but when he heard a "bang" when the blades met When the voice sounded above his head, he didn't feel the vibration of the swords in his hands. He opened his eyes slightly in a daze, only to find that at some point, he had been thrown down by a tall man in armor. When he was in a daze, the other party grabbed his waist, carried him like a chicken and ran out a few steps, and the sword was inserted into the scabbard with a "bang". The man whistled loudly, and there was a sound of horseshoes from the end of the street——

Luo Xiu was carried around the man's waist, turned his head with difficulty, and saw a slender white horse running not far away.

When the white horse ran in front of them, the man with Luo Xiu grabbed the saddle and got on the horse neatly. The white horse neighed and raised its hooves, and after rolling up a cloud of dust, it spread its hooves and ran towards the sparsely populated place!

From the time the man stepped on the stage to when he got on his horse and retreated, the entire series of actions took about one minute.

One minute later, hearing the voice of the second shopkeeper of the antique shop behind him yelling and cursing farther and farther away, Luo Xiu struggled to look at his head in the posture of "hanging sideways on the horse" and looked at his "savior"—— The latter seemed to have sensed his gaze, and he pulled off the mask on his face, revealing the pair of smiling golden pupils behind the mask, and said with a helpless voice, "If you catch up with someone else's things, why don't you catch up with me?" What do you think about killing people?"
