Episode 144: Alcoholism

[Night update, please book for the first time, monthly tickets, I hope everyone will support you!]

As the hungry ghost died and the oil lamp went out, an inexplicable force dissipated. Then, the surrounding environment changed again. The originally simple room suddenly became dilapidated. The hazy moonlight shone through the already damaged roof. It was vaguely visible that the corners of the room were covered with spider webs, and thick dust was accumulated on the tables, chairs, beds and beds. The fragrant human flesh in the bowls and plates also turned into pieces of white bones, as if it was still indicating the rich feast that had appeared here.

"This--" Wang Erlang was stunned, but the terrifying frightening had made him feel a little more and more resistant. Therefore, he felt that he could barely accept this scene before him, at least, it would be much better than facing the hungry ghosts just now.

In comparison, Jiang Chen next to him was much calmer. After all, it was not the first time he encountered a ghost. Although the hungry ghost had swallowed a large number of humans and was not weak, it was still a little different from the zombie mandrill. With his strength, he was naturally fearless. What's more, the hungry ghosts were killed by him now, and the scene in front of him was just the result of the collapse of the ghost realm, and there was nothing to be curious about.

The low-level illusion ghost realm, even the female ghost Dong Xiaoyu, who had met him for the first time, could do it. If it weren't for giving Wang Erlang a warning, he would have done it directly. Now all this is not beyond his expectations.

"Don't stop here and there, hurry up and find a place to rest. We will have to hurry up tomorrow morning!" As he spoke, Jiang Chen waved his sleeves, swept away a piece of dust, and then sat cross-legged, closed his eyes and sat quietly.

Although Wang Erlang did not want to stay in this ghost place, the night outside was dark and under the moonlight, he was shady and didn't know what risks he had. He didn't dare to walk around.

Cleaning up a cleaner place not far from Jiang Chen. After sitting down, he couldn't stand the hunger. He took out the dry food he carried with him. The cold and hard steamed buns naturally could not be compared with the fragrant meat. The cold water was no more than hot tea, but he would just deal with food and clothing.

They were speechless all night, and early the next morning, the two set off to continue to go to Guobei County. The mountain road was rugged and difficult to walk. Even though they rode horses, it took them two or three days to arrive at Guobei County. It was daytime, and there were people coming and going on the streets and cities in Guobei County, which was very lively.

"Master Zhiqiu, this is where my friend's house is." Wang Erlang led Jiang Chen through several streets and alleys and came to a large mansion. There was a plaque in front of the door, with the words "Liu Mansion". Inside and outside the open door, four ingenious guards in the courtyard were known to be a master who had real skills.

Jiang Chen saw it and didn't understand. The Liu family seemed to be rich, even above the Wang Yi family. However, this was no different for him. He just nodded calmly and said: "Well, since he has arrived, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and greet people, it's important to treat the disease."

"Okay." Wang Erlang responded, and immediately shouted at a guard guarding the gate outside the gate, "Liu Qi, I don't know that Uncle Liu is at home? I brought a Taoist master to him this time. His magical powers will definitely cure Brother Liu's strange disease."

"Ah! It's Mr. Wang's second son is here!" The guards at the door obviously recognized Wang Erlang. Among them, the guard guard standing on the left immediately greeted him with a smile: "Mr. Wang, what you said just now?"

"Okay, Liu Qi, since I have spoken, can there be any falsehood?" Wang Erlang snorted softly and said, "If you don't say anything else, just by my friendship with Brother Liu, you will never cheat on this matter. Go and report it quickly. It doesn't matter if you talk to me, but it's time to delay the master, so you can't afford to be guilty."

"Yes, yes." Liu Qi glanced at Jiang Chen beside Wang Erlang, and then quickly responded with a flattering face. While leading Wang Erlang and Jiang Chen into the road, he quickly walked to the inner palace to report.

Shortly after the group entered the gate, a 40-50-year-old man in his garment came out in the front hall. Wang Erlang bowed and called his uncle. Obviously, he was Liu Xun's father. When Wang Erlang introduced Jiang Chen, he saw Jiang Chen young, and frowned: "This little Taoist priest, I wonder how confident are you to cure my son's illness?"

"Five points." Jiang Chen said calmly: "Before I see the patient, I only have five points to grasp. The remaining five points must be seen before I can make a decision."

Mr. Liu has seen many great immortals, Taoist priests and monks during this period. They all started to brag about the sky, but they were helpless, which made him disgusted with these so-called masters. At this moment, when Jiang Chen was humble, he became more trustworthy and said, "Since that's the case, please follow me to explore the nursery room."

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say." Jiang Chen bowed his head and then followed Master Liu towards Liu Xun's room. The Liu family's mansion was quite wide. Liu Xun's room was in the backyard. When the group arrived, they saw that the backyard was full of talisman papers, whether it was trees, flowers, plants, or fenced rockery.

Jiang Chen glanced over with a strange look on his face, and looked at Mr. Liu with guilt and said, "These are all left by the previous monks, Taoist priests, and great immortals. They say that they can prevent monsters from entering the Liu family..."?

"It's all useless." Jiang Chen sneered inexplicably. Then, he raised his hand slightly and gently turned his palm. Suddenly, all the talismans in the courtyard, all over the courtyard were spontaneously ignited at the same time, but they were burned completely in between breathing.

"This..." Master Liu was shocked by this, but heard that Wang Erlang smiled proudly, "How about it, believe me now, I said, the Taoist Master Zhiqiu I invited, but the great man with magical power, is it that ordinary Taoist monks can compare with?"

"Erlang said it very well, Zhiqiu Taoist Master has magical powers!" After coming to his senses, Master Liu immediately echoed, and even upgraded from "Little Taoist Master" to "Zhiqiu Taoist Master". His words were filled with joy. After all, the greater Jiang Chen's ability, the greater his hope of curing his son.

The group kept moving forward, and many of the talismans encountered along the way were spontaneously ignited into ashes in the shortest time. Soon, they came to the courtyard where Liu Xun lived. Before they entered the door, a strong smell of alcohol came to their faces. Master Liu sighed a little and said, "Master Zhiqiu, this is the courtyard of a child. I believe Erlang has told you about his illness. You have to go in person to see what it is."

"Yeah." Jiang Chen nodded slightly, and then walked through the courtyard under the guidance of Master Liu and came to the door of the inner wing. Liu Qi had already shouted loudly on the side: "Xiaohong, open the door quickly. Mr. Wang, the second young master, invited a Taoist master to treat the young master!"

Hearing Liu Qi's shout, the door opened from the inside with a "creak". Then, a 16 or 17-year-old maid in red poked her head out and sneered a little, "I'm another Taoist master. Don't be the same as the one I went last time. The disease was not cured, but I got drunk, causing our young master to suffer together."

"Don't talk nonsense!" Seeing this, Master Liu shouted loudly, "I know that Master Qiu is a real Taoist master, how can he retreat quickly compared to those fake charlatans before."

"Master!" Seeing that the person who scolded her was Master Liu, Xiaohong was shocked and quickly lowered her head and stepped aside. However, looking at Jiang Chen's eyes, she still had a bit of contempt and doubt. Obviously, she refused to believe in Taoist priests, monks, etc. anymore.

Jiang Chen glanced at her, his mouth tilted slightly upward, and a chuckle appeared. Then, under the guidance of Mr. Liu, he entered the room.

The huge room seemed to have overturned countless wine jars. The air was filled with strong smell of alcohol. It made people take a breath and then they had the illusion of drinking a glass of strong wine. Soon, Mr. Liu and Wang Erlang were flushed. However, Liu Qi was quite capable, and at this moment, his expression was still as usual.

Through the smell of alcohol, it was obvious that on the inside of the room, on the bed beside the window, a young man with a pale face was lying. He didn't know how much wine he had drunk. His stomach was so swollen that it was like a pregnant woman who was pregnant for ten months. At this moment, he was in an unconscious state of drunkenness, but he still kept calling: "Wine, wine, bring wine..."
