"You want to increase the price?"

"..."

The corner of the old woman's mouth twitched. Is this kid pretending not to understand?

Her expression was distorted, the wrinkles on her face seemed to be twisted into mosquito coils, and the black nails on her hands gradually grew.

Xiaoqing stood in front of the booth, holding the gold ingot, at a loss.

The scent of sugar man and ghost wafted into his nostrils, his eyes glowed from hunger, and his face was tense.

After struggling for a while, he took out the meat ball again and ate half of it in one bite.

Seeing that the meatball was only the size of an ordinary meatball, he carefully took it back.

Seeing this scene, the old woman's ferocious expression froze immediately.

The difference between Li ghosts and ordinary wandering spirits is very obvious.

As the same kind, she could tell at a glance that the fleshy ball was a ghost, strictly speaking, it was a part of the ghost.

For ghosts, the anger of a living person is the best food and the best supplement for cultivation, followed by natural treasures and earthly treasures, and the most useless thing is to eat the same kind for cultivation.If there is an evil way to cast a spell behind it, the effect will be different.

In the past hundred years, she has only heard of it once in the past few days. The ghost who is famous for eating ghosts seems to be behind...

The old woman subconsciously looked at Si Huai, who frowned and looked cold.

She gradually came to her senses.

Ordinary people would have been scared away after seeing her face change.

How can you be so calm and still want to buy a sugar man...

This person is a ghost... and there is a person who is not a ghost...

Her heart skipped a beat, and a few words flashed before her eyes: evil, evil religion!

That cult that kills countless ghosts and frightens the ghosts? !

Si Huai lowered his head and asked Xiao Qing: "Do you really want to eat?"

Xiaoqing swallowed, and said obediently: "No, I don't really want to eat."

"I just want to eat a little..."

Seeing that his saliva was about to flow down, Si Huai scanned the stalls in front of him, but did not see any other stalls selling sugar paintings.

If you miss it, you may not have it.

Si Huai had no choice but to take out another ingot, and when he looked up, he found that the old woman was looking at him in horror with her mouth open, and the blackness on her face had disappeared, she looked like an ordinary old woman with rotten teeth.

Si Huai froze for a moment, the change of face happened really fast.

Is there any disease?

He handed over an ingot and asked, "Is one ingot enough?"

Enough for what?

life money?

The old woman's complexion changed, and she said quietly: "Old woman, I have lived like this—"

Si Huai corrected, "Dead."

The old woman: "...the old woman, I have been a ghost for many years, and I know a truth well."

Si Huai frowned, he just wanted to buy a sugar figure, why are there so many weird nonsense?

"That is to retreat in the face of difficulties."

After finishing speaking, the old woman "whoosh" and disappeared in place, leaving only a table of sugar figures and sugar paintings.

Si Huai:? ? ?

It seems to be really sick.

After a moment of silence, he put down four ingots on the table and said to Xiaoqing, "Take four Zhu Bajie."

Xiaoqing did as he did, held Zhu Bajie and raised his head and asked, "Why Zhu Bajie?"

Si Huai: "Zhu Bajie is fat and eats a lot."

Xiaoqing suddenly said, "Si Huai is really smart."

"Give Brother Lu a Zhu Bajie."

Si Huai's voice is clear and clean, and he is very recognizable in noisy environments.

Brother Lu heard the words clearly.

Lu Xiuzhi pursed his lips, the little stick in his palm seemed to become hot.

Si Huai bent down, thinking about eating a candy man with Xiaoqing's hand.

Lu Xiuzhi lowered his eyes, turned his wrist slightly, and put his sugar figurine to his mouth.

Si Huai was startled, Lu Xiuzhi's height is here, it is more convenient to eat from his hands.

After thinking about it, Si Huai said to Xiaoqing, "Give mine to Brother Lu, too."

Xiaoqing stretched out her hand obediently, and Lu Xiuzhi took advantage of the opportunity to stand between the two of them, closer to Si Huai.

"Give me a bite."

Si Huai lowered his head and moved closer to Lu Xiuzhi's hand.

The hot air in his breath brushed over his fingertips, Lu Xiuzhi's index finger trembled, and he almost lost his grip on the sugar man.

Si Huai didn't notice Lu Xiuzhi's nervousness, he only had sugar man in his eyes, admired the lifelike Zhu Bajie's mouth up close for a second, and bit off his head with one bite.

It's like biting an ice cube, it has no taste, and the moment it enters the mouth, the ice cube melts.

Unappetizing.

Si Huai is not a wasteful character, the food is not tasty, but he bought it all, so he simply bit off the remaining half and ate it with the stick.

Lu Xiuzhi pursed his lips while looking at the sugar man who hadn't taken a bite, and there was still a trace of warmth in his fingertips.

He held up another: "Anything else?"

Si Huai shook his head: "I don't like it."

Lu Xiuzhi wasn't interested in these things at first, but seeing that Si Huai didn't want to eat them, he gave the sugar figurines to Xiaoqing.

Continue to go deep into the ghost market, most of the things sold are the same as ordinary night markets, such as clothes, bags, trinkets, etc. Female ghosts stand in groups and laugh in front of the stalls, and a few small vendors with no business gather Chatting together seems to be very harmonious.

While shopping, Si Huai bought some snacks for Xiaoqing, and the few vendors he met later were not as good as the old woman, so he didn't realize that Si Huai was alive.

Just after paying the ingot, he suddenly heard a slight dog barking from the side.

Si Huai looked over, and the stalls on the right sold all kinds of small animals.

They were not kept in cages, but placed randomly on the table. Even the fish were lying on the table. All the animals looked dull, their eyes were dull, and their movements were rigid. They looked more like ghosts than ghost stall owners.

Seeing him staring, Lu Xiuzhi explained: "It's made of paper, and the skill of a paper maker is average."

Therefore, the movements of these small animals are stiff, and something is wrong at a glance.

Hearing that it was made of paper, Si Huai's eyes lit up, and he pointed to the last little white dog on the booth: "Boss, how much is this?"

"Five ingots."

The paper was inedible, and Xiaoqing was not interested in these small animals, so she didn't even look at them.

After Si Huai paid, Lu Xiuzhi picked up the little white dog and asked in a low voice, "Do you want a dog?"

"Do not want to."

Si Huai tilted his head and looked into his eyes: "Didn't you have a dog before?"

Lu Xiuzhi paused: "You bought it for me?"

Si Huai nodded: "Don't you like it? How about another one?"

"Need not."

Lu Xiuzhi's slender eyelashes trembled, and a smile appeared on his lips: "I like it very much."

His facial features are cold and cold, and his whole body is full of yin. When he is expressionless, he has a sense of distance, which makes people afraid to approach him. But when he smiles, his eyebrows and eyes stretch, and the ice cubes turn into a puddle of clear water. Take a look.

Looking at his side face, Si Huai felt a little thirsty for no reason.

After staring blankly for a while, Si Huai suddenly found that the noise around him had subsided.

He glanced around, and most of the booths behind him disappeared, and the rest were packing up their things and preparing to leave.

"Cuckoo-"

A cock crow sounded from nowhere, and the wandering souls around dispersed one after another.

Si Huai glanced at the time, it was past two o'clock.

They've only been around for an hour.

Si Huai wondered, "Is it over so soon?"

Lu Xiuzhi frowned: "The ghost market closes in the middle of the night, and disperses when the cock crows..."

Si Huai: "So the crowing of the rooster is the crowing of a real rooster? I thought it meant dawn."

"Do not……"

Lu Xiuzhi: "It means dawn."

Looking at the wandering souls whispering and panicking around him, Lu Xiuzhi frowned: "Something must have happened."

"The ghost market ended early."

Just as Si Huai was about to ask, he saw a familiar ghost running in front of him, handing out leaflets.

"Want money?"

Yao Qian stopped abruptly, saw Si Huai, and heaved a sigh of relief.

"My Lord, you are here! It's really great."

Si doubted: "What happened?"

Yao Qian hurriedly said: "The cult is here!"

Si Huai looked serious.

Lu Xiuzhi had a bad feeling.

"It's the cult that kills ghosts without blinking an eye that I told you about last time. I heard that the leader came with the left and right guardians just now! The Ghost City immediately closed its business."

"The left protector is that evil ghost. I heard that he even carried the wreckage of a ghost with him to eat! It's scary. The right protector heard that there are neither humans nor ghosts. I don't know why!"

Lu Xiuzhi, who somehow became the protector of the right: "..."

Si Huai: "What does the leader look like?"

Yao Qian shook his head: "I don't know, I heard that he wears a ghost skin mask when casting spells, and hides in ordinary wandering souls, ordinary ghosts can't find it at all."

"Ghost skin mask?"

Si Huai was startled: "This cult leader is too ruthless."

"Yeah," Yao Qian nodded in agreement, and after a while, he said to them, "It was the fierce woman at the entrance who discovered the cult when she was selling sugar."

He said with emotion: "I heard that the fierce woman escaped death with one against three."

"As expected of an old ghost who has practiced for 300 years."

Sugar man?

Si Huai took a breath and said with lingering fear, "We also bought sugar figurines just now."

"Fortunately, I didn't encounter a cult."

Xiaoqing was also so frightened that she grabbed the meat ball in her pocket and echoed, "It's okay, it's okay."

Lu Xiuzhi: "..."

Yao Qian didn't dare to stay here any longer, and quickly said: "Monastery Lord, I'll run away first, I still want to die for a few more years."

Si Huai nodded, and dragged Lu Xiuzhi and Xiaoqing away as well.

On the way back, Lu Xiuzhi gently reminded: "Do you think that cult sounds familiar?"

Si Huai shook his head: "No, I've lived for so many years, this is the first time I've heard of such an arrogant cult."

Huaguo's supervision of cults is very strict and will not give any cults an opportunity.

Si Huai only saw deeds of cults in his childhood textbooks, but never heard of them in real life.

Moreover, the cults in the books were aimed at the living, and this was the first time he had heard of a cult like Shang Yang that would not spare even ghosts.

Si Huai leaned on the back and sighed: "I hope the Taoist Association and the country can quickly wipe out the cult."

"It's too tragic to die once while alive, and to die again as a ghost."

"I hope that after my death, there will be no more cults in the Underworld."

Lu Xiuzhi was silent for a long time, and said dryly, "Don't worry, nothing will happen to you."

It was someone else who really happened, um... other ghosts.

…………

There was no class the next morning, and it was already late last night, so Lu Xiuzhi didn't call Si Huai to get up and read in the morning.

Si Huai woke up naturally after sleeping, and slowly got up to tell the patriarch about the cult.

The incense fireworks crackle and burn, comparable to the flames of fairy wands.

Si Huai was stunned for a while, wondering: "Master Patriarch, are you deaf?"

"I'm talking about a cult, why are you so happy?"

The next second, the fireworks brightened even more.

Si Huai looked puzzled, thought for a while, and attributed the reason to the patriarch himself.

He turned his head and waved to Xiaoqing: "Xiaoqing, Patriarch is in a good mood today, come and say goodbye."

Xiaoqing took out the meat balls and offered incense devoutly.

Si Huai walked to the side stone formation, picked a random stone and sat down to play with his phone.

A big hand with sharp bones suddenly covered the screen of his mobile phone.

Si Huai looked up, and Lu Xiuzhi handed him a square box with a picture of the phone printed on the top.

Si Huai blinked: "For me?"

Lu Xiuzhi: "A gift."

Si Huai rubbed his nose: "Why did you buy me a gift for no reason?"

Lu Xiuzhi raised his phoenix eyes slightly: "Didn't you suddenly buy me a gift too?"

Si Huai was startled, and carefully looked at the box in Lu Xiuzhi's hand.

The puppy last night only needs five ingots, and this phone costs...five figures? ?

Si Huai was shocked, one or two thousand mobile phones were enough for him.

"This phone is too expensive."

Looking into his dark eyes, Lu Xiuzhi heard the words Si Huai corrected Wang Xingsheng last time.

I don't seem to know his job, or his relationship with the Lu family...

"Do you know who I am?"

Si Huai: "Lu Xiuzhi."

Lu Xiuzhi: "What else?"

Si Huai looked bewildered, and tentatively said, "A man?"

Lu Xiuzhi: "..."

After a long silence, he stuffed the phone into Si's arms and said simply and rudely:

"I have money."

Si Huai stared blankly at Lu Xiuzhi.

After a while, he hugged his phone and boasted, "You look so handsome when you're rich."

Lu Xiuzhi selectively ignores the precondition of being really handsome, and only hears the word really handsome.

His chest felt hot, he hummed in a low voice, and walked into the house on the same hands and feet.

Si Huai didn't notice his body movements, and cheerfully changed into a new phone.

I have to say that a five-figure mobile phone is easy to use, not stuck at all, and very silky.

It was so silky that Si Huai realized that the seal he bought on Pinduoduo had arrived two days ago, and it was placed in the Fengchao cabinet at the entrance of the community.

At present, there are not many talismans on the shelves of Taoist temples, mainly peace talismans, beauty talismans and ghost-suppressing talismans. There are almost no sales of ghost-suppressing talismans. Ordinary people can’t encounter any ghosts. This talisman is useless to buy, and the effect cannot be determined. It is rare. There are repeat customers.

After getting the red rubber seal and materials, Si Huai followed the online tutorial and engraved a safe spell on it one stroke at a time.

It is easy to make a seal, but it is a problem to confirm that the safety talisman printed on this seal is effective.

After pondering for a while, Si Huai felt that Xiao Qing couldn't be attacked, so he ran to the school to find Yao Qian.

Yao Qian was distributing arrest warrants in the park next to the school, and when Si Huai came, he quickly shouted, "Monastery, here."

"I forgot to tell you last night that Zhu Cheng, the wanted criminal, has been seen by many ghosts, but the places they saw were not in the same place."

Yao Qian took out his notebook and read it to Si Huai: "Anhuang Mountain in the east of the city, Hangchun Road in the west of the city, Anbei Shopping Center in the south of the city, near No. [-] Primary School in the north of the city."

"Why does this person go all the way?"

Si Huai shook his head: "Don't guess what the wanted criminal is thinking."

He sent the locations mentioned by Yao Qian to Taoist Fang, and Taoist Fang replied in seconds: 【Received. 】

Fang Xingyun: [How did Si Guanzhu know that he went to these places? 】

Did you cook today: [I have an informant. 】

Did you cook today: [No, Xiangui. 】

Daoist Fang at the other end of the network was a little at a loss. He didn't expect that he could not understand what young people said when he was only in his 30s.

After pondering for a long time, I remembered that young people like to use pinyin abbreviations recently, so I quickly sent a sentence:

[sgzyyds. 】

Si Huai glanced at the string of letters, thinking that Fang Daozhang's hands were trembling wrongly.

He put away his mobile phone and threw Zhang Ping An Talisman on the ground: "I want money, do you feel this Talisman?"

Yao Qian walked to the edge of the talisman paper without any discomfort, only feeling the yang energy in Si Huai's body.

"My Lord, what kind of talisman is this?"

Si Huai: "Peace Talisman."

Yao Qian remembered the peace talisman drawn by Si Huai before, and he could feel uncomfortable within one meter.

Unlike this...

He thought for a while and asked tentatively, "My Lord, have you cut corners?"

Si Huai: "...No, I changed the way of drawing symbols."

Yao Qian was stunned, how could he change the way of drawing talismans?

He tentatively asked, "Did you draw it with your feet?"

Si Huai: "..."

"What could be wrong with that? I don't feel anything."

Si Huai: "Try and see."

Yao Qian squatted down, his fingers slowly approached the talisman, then stopped abruptly, and cautiously touched it with his sleeve first.

The moment the sleeve touched the talisman paper, it seemed to be burned by an invisible flame and turned into ashes.

Yao Qian stepped back quickly: "Spiritual."

"As expected of the temple master, the talismans drawn with feet are so powerful."

Si Huai: "..."

Seeing that Si Huai was unmoved by Rainbow Fart, Yao Qian shook his empty sleeves and reminded: "Monastery Lord, my clothes are torn because of the test talisman."

"I bought this new one in the ghost market yesterday."

"How much did you buy it for?"

"Ten ingots."

Si Huai opened the zipper of the schoolbag, took exactly ten of them, no more, no less.

Yao Qian was silent for a moment, and asked, "Is this considered a work-related injury?"

Si Huai: "What happened to the work injury?"

Yao Qian: "Work-related injuries will cost more."

This sounds a little familiar.

Si Huai thought about it, but couldn't remember.

As a good boss, he reluctantly agreed to Yao Qian's unreasonable request and added an ingot to him.

…………

After confirming that the safety talisman is effective, Si Huai put it on the Taobao store directly after returning home.

Because it was a little different from the hand-painted talismans, I gave it a 80% discount and sold it for [-] yuan.

Daotianguan's store now has nearly [-] fans. As soon as the new baby was launched, loyal customers placed orders immediately, and review bloggers also placed orders one after another.

Shipped out.Si Huai habitually took a look on Weibo, and found that the Weibo for the lottery of Beauty Talisman had been opened two days ago, and several people who won the lottery had already received the goods.

Si Huai accidentally clicked on the profile picture of one of them, and found that this person whose ID was Jia Silin was using a beauty charm live on Weibo.

She just put the talisman paper into the water glass, and the comments on the screen were all rubbing against Ouhuang.

As soon as the Daotianguan account entered the live broadcast room, the comments turned into a point for bloggers to pay attention, don't talk nonsense and be careful.

Jia Silin was shocked for two seconds, and asked excitedly, "Is it the Lord himself?"

Si Huai typed "Yes", although it was quickly dismissed by other comments, Jia Silin saw it clearly.

She quickly said: "Hi, Master, I am a loyal customer of the Taoist Temple. I tried to buy a Zhang Ping An Talisman last month. When I was on the bus, there was a car accident. Everyone in the car was injured. I was sitting in the most dangerous position." , not hurt at all..."

[Really or not, Jia Silin, you must not be a sailor of the Taoist temple, right? 】

[I seem to have seen this news. 】

【Is it so clever?How much is the talisman? 】

[This news is true, and the official blog of Shangyang Public Security has reposted it. 】

…………

Jia Silin held the water glass and described the scene at that time in a rhythmic tone.

Si Huai couldn't take it anymore and couldn't help typing: [Let's talk after drinking. 】

"Oh, okay okay."

Jia Silin quickly drank the talisman water, described the taste to the netizens, and then asked, "My Lord, can I ask a question?"

"It's just that I went to the mountain with my father to worship our ancestors a few days ago, and when I got home from the mountain, my father suddenly had a backache."

"Aren't the ancestors who brought the sacrificial offerings unsatisfactory?"

After talking about the question, the comments all echoed:

[Fuck, my parents are in the same situation! 】

[Is the temple master still there?So is my house. 】

[I also had a backache last time! 】

[Speaking of which, my parents seem to be the same way. 】

…………

Taoist Temple: [How long have you been praying? 】

Jia Silin thought for a while: "Go up the mountain for half an hour, and worship for at least two hours. During this period, we are very serious."

Daotianguan: [It's been a long time, my parents are getting old, I suggest you go to the hospital to have a look at your waist. 】

After posting, Si Huai added another sentence: [Believe in science, believe in medicine. 】

[hhhhhhh Guanzhu makes us believe in science. 】

[Laughing so much that I looked for my mother all over the place. 】

[What the viewer said makes sense. 】

[Hahahahahaha. 】

[I love it, I'll pay attention to it. 】

…………

Si Huai watched the live broadcast for a few more minutes, and suddenly received a message from Dong Dashan, saying that a Weibo user who had won a lottery beauty talisman had an accident after drinking the talisman water, and contacted him on Taobao.

Si Huai flipped through the list of winners and dialed the number above.

"Miss Chen? I'm going to the Taoist Temple."

A sobbing female voice rang out on the phone: "Hi, Guanzhu, my husband drank the Rong Fu perfectly a few days ago, it's like a different person."

"My temper is getting more and more irritable. I stay at home all day and don't go out. Every day I buy a bunch of raw meat and put it at home. I stare at them in a daze and don't let me touch it..."

Si Huai frowned, even if the beauty charm had side effects, it couldn't be such side effects.

From this Ms. Chen's description, her husband seemed more like an evil person.

"Where do you live?"

"Shangjiang village in Yuzhen."

Shangjiang Village is near the excavation station, Si Huai thought for a while, "I'll come over tomorrow evening."

I will go to the Yuzhen Excavation Station starting tomorrow, and I can just go there to have a look at the end.

"Okay, sorry for your inconvenience."

Si Huai explained the situation in advance: "If it wasn't for the beauty charm..."

Ms. Chen quickly said, "I will apologize."

Si Huai: "I want to collect money."

The author has something to say: Si Huai: Patriarch, you are deaf.

Dao Tiantian Zun: You are deaf, everyone can see it.
