Yu Xiaolong was startled, turned around and saw a female ghost shouting with tears streaming down her face: "Help me, help me!"
"What's wrong with you?" Yu Xiaolong looked at him doubtfully.
"They are coming, please help me!" The female ghost shook him anxiously.
Yu Xiaolong blinked his eyes and asked: "Who is coming? Why should I save you?"
While he was talking, several male ghosts came running from a distance, each of them looking fierce.
When the female ghost looked at it, she fell to the ground with a thud and said in a frustrated tone: "Jinlong Pawn Shop."
Yu Xiaolong looked at her confused and said: "Jinlong Pawnshop? What do you mean?"
At this time, several ghosts had already ran over. The leading male ghost kicked the female ghost and cursed: "You want to run away? I'll kill you!"
Yu Xiaolong frowned and asked, "What are you doing?"
The ghost looked at him fiercely and said, "Where are you from, you bastard? Get away!"
After that, several people dragged the female ghost away. Some nearby ghosts hid far away and kept sighing.
Yu Xiaolong was about to have a seizure. As soon as he took two steps forward, an old ghost pulled him back.
"Young man, stop minding your own business," the old ghost said.
Yu Xiaolong asked unhappily: "What's wrong?"
The old ghost looked him up and down and asked, "You are not from here, so you don't understand the situation."
"What do you mean? Such an act in broad daylight?" Yu Xiaolong asked, breathing heavily.
"That's what they do, killing ghosts like hemp, no one dares to provoke them." The old ghost sighed.
"What? The officials don't care? The city god doesn't care?" Yu Xiaolong asked doubtfully.
"Hey... just turn a blind eye, don't you understand? You're wearing a pair of pants." The old ghost smiled bitterly.
"Where is Jinlong Pawnshop?" Yu Xiaolong asked again.
"That's a pawn shop they run. They do no good things behind the scenes and sell people. I heard that they even sell people from the underworld. What a sin!" The old ghost slowly shook his head.
"What? People in the world dare to sell it? It's so abominable! It's unforgivable! You're just a beast!" Yu Xiaolong cursed through gritted teeth.
The old ghost looked at him and said: "No matter what you do, don't meddle in other people's business, otherwise you will lose your life. It has nothing to do with you, just do whatever you have to do."
"Where is Jinlong Pawnshop?" Yu Xiaolong asked.
"Just keep going forward." The old ghost turned around and staggered away. As he walked, he said: "Hey...you are young and energetic, and you will suffer sooner or later."
Yu Xiaolong turned around and walked forward, thinking quickly in his mind.
Not long after, he saw a sign hanging high on the roadside ahead - Jinlong Pawn Shop.
Yu Xiaolong wandered in, and a ghostly waiter immediately came out to greet him, saying with a smile: "Sir, please come in."
The front hall of the pawn shop is very spacious, covering an area of more than 100 square meters.
The counter is in the center against the wall, and there are several tables neatly placed beside it.
Yu Xiaolong found a table and sat next to it, and a cup of tea was immediately brought over.
The ghost boy stood nearby and said with a smile: "Sir, please have tea."
Yu Xiaolong picked it up and smelled it. He felt that the smell was not very good, and then put it down again.
"Is this the tea you want?" Yu Xiaolong snorted coldly.
The ghost guy was startled, and immediately shouted with a smile: "Give this guest a high ranking."
Soon, an exquisite teapot and cup were brought over.
Yu Xiaolong took a whiff and found that it was indeed very different from the tea just now.
"How's it going, sir?" the ghost boy said with a smile.
"Well, just force it." Yu Xiaolong waved his hand.
Seeing how elegant Yu Xiaolong was, the ghost clerk didn't dare to neglect him and went to report it immediately.
Soon, a middle-aged ghost came over, raised his hand and said with a smile: "Sir, I am the shopkeeper of Jinlong Pawn Shop. Welcome to the shop."
Yu Xiaolong raised his eyes and looked at him. He was not tall and had a goatee. At first glance, he was not a good guy.
"Yeah." Yu Xiaolong nodded slightly.
When the shopkeeper saw that the other party had such an attitude, and seeing that he didn't look like someone from a wealthy family, he was also confused.
"Sir, do you have any good items to pawn?" the shopkeeper said with a smile.
"Don't worry, I'll ask first. What are you doing... Jinlong Pawnshop, how strong is it?" Yu Xiaolong looked at him arrogantly.
"Haha, in this town, Jinlong Pawnshop is the strongest, no one. Sir, have you brought your items for me to appreciate?" the shopkeeper said with a smile.
"How do I know you are strong? My things are not something ordinary people can see." Yu Xiaolong snorted coldly.
The shopkeeper's heart skipped a beat, and he secretly thought that although this person looked very ordinary, his words were sonorous and powerful, and his temperament revealed was different from ordinary ghosts. He might really be a wealthy person.
"Sir, you can go out and ask around. If anyone says that Jinlong Pawnshop is not good, I will close the shop immediately!" the shopkeeper said, patting his chest.
"Hey, it seems that you are so confident. So let me ask you, can you take the pills?" Yu Xiaolong nodded casually.
"Pills? The shop has always collected all kinds of gold and silver treasures and rare treasures. As for pills, they are still very few. I wonder, sir, what are your pills?" the shopkeeper asked in confusion.
Yu Xiaolong took out his treasured elixir from his bag, handed it to the other party, and said, "Where's this?"
The shopkeeper brought it over inexplicably, looking around and not knowing what it was. After all, he was not a spiritual practitioner and knew nothing about elixirs.
"What... is this thing?" he asked in confusion.
Yu Xiaolong snorted coldly: "Are you the one who is the shopkeeper? Go find someone knowledgeable and take a look."
The shopkeeper blinked his little eyes, nodded and said: "Sir, please wait a moment, I'll be back as soon as I can."
After saying that, he took the elixir and entered the back room, leaving Yu Xiaolong sitting there alone.
"Waiter, come here." Yu Xiaolong waved. The ghost boy quickly ran over and asked, "What do you need, sir?"
Yu Xiaolong waved his hand and said, "Let me ask you, does this Jinlong Pawnshop have a backer?"
When the ghost clerk heard this, he immediately said with a smile: "Sir, you are really discerning. However, this little guy can't talk nonsense. The shopkeeper will teach me a lesson."
Yu Xiaolong took out a few Yin coins and said with a smile: "Take them."
The ghost boy's eyes lit up, then dimmed immediately, he shook his head and said: "Sir, I really don't dare to say this nonsense, I am just a working person."
Seeing his resolute attitude, Yu Xiaolong said nothing and waved his hand to let him leave.
In the back room…
"Boss, someone who looks like a big customer came outside and took out one of these things. I don't understand, please show me." The shopkeeper handed over the elixir.
A fat ghost sitting on the chair was drinking tea. He was a little displeased with the shopkeeper's interruption and snorted coldly: "What the hell is that whirring!"
He took the elixir, took a look at it and immediately threw it to the ground, and said angrily: "What are you looking at with a broken pill? Blow it out!"
"Boss, he said to ask someone knowledgeable to take a look." The shopkeeper picked up the pills and handed them over again.
"You know what? It's just a broken Chinese medicine pill, like rabbit shit!"
The fat ghost raised his eyes and looked at the elixir carefully, and suddenly felt something was wrong. He let out a trace of Yin Qi and soon his eyes widened.
He carefully pinched off a piece and put it in his mouth. He immediately felt the heat in his body and his veins began to boil rapidly.
The fat ghost suddenly stood up and asked loudly: "Where is he? Please come in!"
The shopkeeper looked at him confused and asked: "Please come...here?"
The fat ghost kicked him and cursed angrily: "Hurry up! That's an honored guest!"
The shopkeeper was startled and ran out crawling.
…
"Distinguished guest, our boss is here to invite you." The shopkeeper said with his head bowed.
"Boss? What's the matter? I have to go over with such a big show?" Yu Xiaolong snorted coldly.
"Sir, this place is simple. If you are tired, please follow me to the private room inside. The boss is waiting for you." The shopkeeper bent down with a smile.
Yu Xiaolong thought for a while, he couldn't be too overly aggressive since he was new here, after all, he hadn't figured out the situation yet.
He stood up and said, "Lead the way."
"My boss, our guest is here." The shopkeeper shouted.
A fat ghost came out and said with a smile: "Sir, please sit down!"
Yu Xiaolong took a look and saw that this fat ghost was more than two meters tall and weighed at least three hundred kilograms. He was just like a huge dough.
He didn't say anything, walked into the room and sat down.
"Go out and close the door, don't let others in casually!" The fat ghost waved his hands.
The shopkeeper nodded, quickly left, and closed the door.
The fat ghost looked at Yu Xiaolong, then moved his fat body to sit on the large chair, and asked with a smile: "My guest, are you a practitioner?"
