Changsheng coffin shop

"Where are you going!" Lu Yao suddenly jumped out from behind, tapped Xie Mian's shoulder, and took his arm affectionately.

Xie Mian was being tensed by Fan Lan's breathing, and Lu Yao's sudden pat on the shoulder made him shiver.

"No no."

Lu Yao approached him, her big eyes flickered twice: "Why are you so blushing?"

Xie Mian is not used to her distance, especially because she is not tall, Xie Mian can see under her neckline just by lowering her head, stepped back in embarrassment and said: "I was walking too fast just now, it was a bit hot, by the way, why don't you With your master?"

Lu Yao's youngest daughter shyly pulled her hair twice, and snorted coolly: "That Ke Yan is so annoying, he always looks down on me, saying that people like me will definitely slow you down. Brother Xie Mian, hello, You are also good-looking and gentle. I like you."

Xie Mian quickly denied: "...No, no, I'm not very gentle either."

Fan Lan has been standing on the sidelines without saying a word. Xie Mian knows that his understanding and operation of the world is almost zero, and he didn't expect him to smooth things over for him, so he could only smile awkwardly and politely: " Your master has gone far, we will follow to see."

"Uh-huh."

Lu Yao kept holding his hand and talking about gossip about the world of celestial masters, which made Xie Mian one head and two big, and kept trying to free her wrist from her.

"that……"

Lu Yao hummed with a rising voice, put her hands behind her back, leaned her upper body forward, and approached him with a smile: "What's wrong, little brother."

As soon as she got closer, she saw Xie Mian's face suddenly turned into a flesh and blood skeleton, with green mucus flowing out of the two dark eye sockets, and a bloody mouth underneath, and instantly rushed towards her. come over.

"Ahhhh...!" Lu Yao's foot softened, and she stepped back a few steps and bumped into Fan Lan's body. He stretched out his hand to give her a weak support, and smiled friendlyly: "Oh, what's wrong?"

"Yes, yes, yes..." Lu Yao was stunned, her two slender legs were trembling, but when she thought that she was here to catch ghosts, she could only choke back in her throat, and said indifferently, "It's nothing."

Xie Mian looked at Fan Lan in confusion, "What's wrong with her?"

Fan Lan tilted her head: "I don't know."

Lu Yao left a lot cleaner, and Xie Mian didn't ask any more questions, thinking that Fan Lan's work should be a little more measured, and she wouldn't be too out of line, so she felt relieved.

"Little Hades, don't you really want to check those mansion hotels now?" Fan Lan asked.

Xie Mian looked at his expression that was so calm that he casually mentioned it, he was a little shocked, he could see this?

"Is it because they are worried that their ability is not enough to deal with the fox demon inside, and they feel that it is not easy to speak up, so they think of a reason and let me go in with you?" Fan Lan said again.

Xie Mian was a little worried, and asked cautiously, "...can you see anything else?"

Fan Lan thought for a while, and replied cautiously: "You still have three pieces of candy in your pocket and didn't give it to me."

"..."

Quite accurate.

**

Ye Jianming didn't dare to go in, but stood outside and opened the door of the pagoda tremblingly: "Masters, please, please come in."

Ke Yan said that they had been here for so long and hadn't seen the fox fairy come out for a while, so there was probably nothing to be afraid of, and the first one rushed in. Sun Zhiqian was worried that his apprentice would rush in, so he followed immediately.

Ye Xunfang sneered coldly from behind: "If you want to die, don't ask the time." Lu Yao followed the master closely and dared not leave, let alone pester Xie Mian's elder brother.

Except for Ye Jianming, several people walked into the Hall of Merit and Virtue one by one. There was actually a gate inside, which was completely different from the gate made of mahogany with eighteen fox heads on the left and right. It was as thick as black iron.

There is not a trace of rust on it, and there is no trace of rivets inlaid on it, as if it is a complete iron plate, which fits straight into the ground from the roof.

There was a stench of corruption inside, and an indescribable fishy smell.

"Soul-gathering wood?" Sun Zhiqian raised his hand and touched it lightly, as if he had been scalded, he withdrew his hand violently, but he dared not get any closer.

Seeing him like this, Ye Xunfang didn't act rashly. She stood on the right side and stared at the door for a long time: "The door should be something like a totem. The painted fox's tail is a bit too big, and it's a bit different from ordinary foxes. , it should be the Nine-Tailed Fox."

Xie Mian turned his head away to look at Fan Lan, he is a person who sometimes talks a lot, but when he thinks about it, what he says is what he is willing to say, and when he doesn't want to talk, he has an unruly temperament on his face.

That face was written all over, I don't know anything, I'm here to make soy sauce, Little Hades, when are we leaving, this place really stinks.

Xie Mian comforted him a little helplessly: "Go out after reading." After thinking for a while, he took out a candy from his pocket, slowed down and quietly tore open the package and stuffed it into his palm, then put the candy wrapper back into his pocket .

There is no electricity in this temple.

Some ghosts are afraid of things like electricity and lamps, so they only installed some oil lamp stands on the walls, and Ke Yan took out a lighter from his pocket and lit them all the way.

After passing through this door, there is a circular staircase inside, which turns around endlessly. The stairs are all made of a kind of black wood, and each floor has eighteen roots, eighteen thick. Yes, one after another.

At this time, Fan Lan didn't know if she had been coaxed by Tang, but she started to talk, she leaned her head against Xie Mian's ear and asked, "What do you see?"

Xie Mian didn't know if he intended to test himself, but since he is the owner of the coffin shop, he can't always hang up a job, so he thought about it and said, "The door we came in just now should be the nine-tailed fox. , although it is said that it is more orthodox in China to invite fox immortals through the lineage of Longhushan Tianshifu, but the fox yellow and white willow gray are actually ghosts. Nine-tailed fox is like the heavenly court, which has been approved by heaven and earth. A true immortal who cultivates."

"anything else?"

"The celestial foxes in Qingqiu Kingdom should be of their own lineage, and shouldn't be worshiped together in the west, the underworld, and the upper heavens. This is against the rules." Xie Mian paused, and added with some uncertainty: "Ba Ye said Don't let us intervene, it probably has something to do with Qingqiu, I suspect that this Tianhu may be... Daji's younger brother."

Fan Lan was at a loss: "Who is Daji?"

Xie Mian said, "Haven't you read the list of gods? Shang Zhou brainwashed Empress Nuwa, and then Nuwa picked a fox to disrupt the government, and that fox possessed Daji."

Fan Lan was speechless for a few seconds, and Kaba Kaba bit the candy into pieces and said, "You are smarter than Shang Zhou."

"He he he...his hand!" A shrill cry suddenly tore through the quiet three underground floors.

Xie Mian looked back, and saw that Sun Zhiqian's hands were completely black, as if he just got out of the dye vat, cold sweat dripped down his forehead, he was short of breath, his cheeks were purple, and he was in a very strange state.

The originally rosy and fat face is now as pale as white paper, and the wide-eyed eyes are abnormally dull, just like... Mrs. Ye!

Before Xie Mian was completely surprised, someone rushed over to him one step ahead.

Ye Xunfang took out a talisman paper from his pocket, pricked Sun Zhiqian's finger and dripped two drops of blood on it, then snatched the lighter from Ke Yan's hand and burned it.

A faint blue flame flashed with a piercing sound, carrying a scent of burnt sandalwood.

Sun Zhiqian's breathing recovered a little bit, but his face was still ugly. This talisman was of little use.

"When we came in just now, he seemed to have touched that door." Xie Mian subconsciously put his fingers on his lips, and lowered his voice to ask Fan Lan: "Is there something weird about that door?"

"That door is made of soul-gathering wood. Touching it is equivalent to sacrificing a soul to him, but because he is a celestial master..." Before Fan Lan finished speaking, he suddenly remembered a slight knocking sound. Shen was also bored.

! !

Everyone was stunned, could it be that "fox fairy" is still here!

"Ye Xunfang, you take Sun Zhiqian and his disciples out, I'll go in and have a look." Fan Lan walked a few steps, turned around again, threw a golden scale to her, looked sideways, and Ke Yan was shocked: " You come."

Ke Yan subconsciously refused: "I don't, I can't. Otherwise, I will go out with Master, you..."

Fan Lan yelled, and said softly, "Little friend, your master's soul is still here. If you go out too, your master's soul will be eaten." As she spoke, she reached into Xie Mian's pocket and took out Bring out a business card with gold letters on a black background, "Come to us to buy coffins, discounts."

Xie Mian: "?" Where did you get the business card from?

Ke Yan turned around and glanced at the dying master, gritted his teeth, the shame in his heart instantly overwhelmed the fear, and he nodded bravely: "Okay! I'll stay!"

"Well, good boy."

Fan Lan and Xie Mian walked ahead, Ke Yan followed Sun Zhiqian since he was a child, in his heart Sun Zhiqian was almost omnipotent, but he just touched the door and became like this!

He was very, very confident in catching this troublesome fox fairy, and it would be best if he could make a name for himself in the world of celestial masters!

In the end, Master is almost dead, what will he do in the future, will this place...

Ke Yan looked at the hanging skeletons and scattered white bones tremblingly, and the unhurried knocking sound seemed to hit his heart. Master's soul was not found, and his soul was about to fly away.

"Fan, Mr. Fan, where is my master's soul, and where are we going? It's not really the [-]th floor of hell."

Fan Lan didn't stop walking, and said lightly, "I don't know."

"what?"

Fan Lan turned her head and looked at him lovingly: "That's why I let you in, to attract the soul of your master, if you hear the voice in front, you will rush to sacrifice to it later, if your master loves you, he will definitely come out to save you." your."

Ke Yan was dumbfounded, and sat down on the ground: "You're kidding, right?"

Fan Lan smiled: "Yes."

Xie Mian pulled him up from the ground: "How can you say that you are also a well-known and upright Taoist leader, wouldn't it be embarrassing for your master if you are afraid of doing this?"

"I, I..." Ke Yan didn't say anything for a long time. It's not like he hasn't seen ghosts, he's seen anything scary and disgusting.

But for some reason, he was terrified as soon as he entered the merit hall.

It was a kind of fear from the bottom of my heart.

"You can have respect for ghosts and gods, but not fear. As a celestial master, it is your duty to eliminate demons and ghosts, not a tool to create fame and fortune." Fan Lan said.

Ke Yan was taken aback, these words seemed to have read through his heart, and lightly pierced his fig leaf, as if even his soul was drawn out to whip him over and over again.

"Isn't it..."

He hadn't finished admitting his mistake when he saw Xie Mian's face turn pale and he pushed him down fiercely, while Fan Lan stretched out his hand and pulled him over. When he turned his head, a huge smell of fishy smell came over his face.

Ke Yan vomited with a wow.

Wrapped in that fishy smell was a huge tail of unknown substance, and it swung it fiercely. Wherever it went, whether it was a wooden plank or a stone pillar, it was all shattered into powder, mixed with fishy smell, and fell down one after another.

Xie Mian's action of pressing Ke Yan was completely subconscious. After being pulled by Fan Lan, she was still in shock and didn't react. In the thick dirty yellow fog, there was a tail that was less than two meters long, and he whipped it continuously. Human bones can be broken into slag.

Fan Lan hugged Xie Mian and stepped back, but there was a solid stone wall behind her.

"Oh, there is no way."
