Chapter 1318 Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just in case
Chapter 1318 Don’t be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of what happens.
"Eight...eighty taels?" The shopkeeper was shocked by the price and immediately hesitated.
Chai Yan looked at the shopkeeper and smiled without saying a word, obviously waiting for him to make a decision.
Jimo Qiao stood behind Chai Yan and thought to himself: I thought you really wanted to take over the work of performing religious services. It turned out that you were planning to scare people away with such a high price.
The shopkeeper lowered his head and thought for a moment, then asked with a smile: "Exian, can...can it be a little cheaper?"
For ordinary people, eighty taels of silver is not a small amount of money.
Chai Yan didn't want the shopkeeper to say anything at all. He raised his hand and said: "Junior sister, see you off."
Jimo Qiao was very cooperative. He took a step forward and said, "Please come back, shopkeeper. My senior brother still needs to rest!"
The shopkeeper suddenly became anxious and immediately said: "Xian Changxian Chang, do you think this is good? Eighty taels of silver for a ritual is not a small amount after all. Can you please let me go back and discuss it with the neighbor's house...
..Don’t worry, I will be back soon and I will give you an accurate answer then!”
Chai Yan thought for a while, nodded slightly and said, "Okay."
"Thank you, Immortal. I will be there soon. Please wait a moment, Immortal."
After saying that, the shopkeeper hurriedly left the room.
Jimo Qiao immediately went to the door and looked around. When he saw that the shopkeeper had really gone out, he closed the door and came back.
"Brother-in-law, the shopkeeper has gone out. It seems that he really went to ask his neighbors." Jimo Qiao said.
Chai Yan responded: "Yes, I understand."
Jimo Qiao asked: "Brother-in-law, what if they really agree after discussion? Do you really want to do things for them?"
"Just go." Chai Yan was not worried at all.
Jimo Qiao was a little surprised and asked, "Do you know how to perform rituals?"
"It's not like you know how to do it," Chai Yan said.
"What do you mean?" Jimo Qiao was stunned.
Chai Yan said: "It's not like I've never seen such a thing before. It's nothing more than reciting mantras and chanting sutras, walking and fighting, and burning talisman paper... In short, it's just to make the scene mysterious and perform the ritual.
If the atmosphere is thicker, it will be done!”
"Hey, it's easy to say it, but it may not happen when the time comes. If something goes wrong, I will be called a liar along with you." Jimo Qiao curled his lips.
Chai Yan smiled and said, "Okay, go back to your room quickly. I'm tired and need to take a nap."
With that said, Chai Yan stood up.
Jimo Qiao immediately said: "What about the chicken legs that you promised me?"
Chai Yan said speechlessly: "Sister-in-law, why are you always hanging your chicken drumsticks? I can't get them for you later. You act like a ghost."
"Huh!" Jimo Qiao made an unhappy face at Chai Yan, then opened the door and left the room.
Chai Yan closed the door and went to lie down on the bed, closed his eyes and rested.
But after lying down for a while, the innkeeper came back.
As soon as the shopkeeper came back, he ran straight to Chai Yan's door and knocked on Chai Yan's door, calling carefully: "Exian, it's me..."
Chai Yan had no choice but to get up and open the door, smiling and saying: "The shopkeeper's movements are really fast."
The shopkeeper said: "Xian Chang, our family lives near here, just a few steps back and forth, very close..."
"Come in and talk." Chai Yan let the shopkeeper into the house.
Just as he was about to close the door, the door of the next room opened, and the person who came out was Jimo Qiao.
Jimo Qiao heard the noise outside in his room and immediately followed him out to watch the fun.
"Wait a minute, brother-in-law, there's me too." Jimo Qiao hurriedly walked over.
Chai Yan glared at her and whispered: "Why are you here to join in the fun again? Go back quickly..."
"I don't!" When Jimo Qiao said these words, people had already rushed into Chai Yan's room.
Chai Yan shook his head helplessly and closed the door with a secret sigh.
The shopkeeper bowed his hand to Chai Yan and said politely: "Xianzhang, I just asked the neighbor, and she agreed, saying eighty taels is eighty taels, but I don't know when will it be convenient for Xianzhang to go to her house?"
Chai Yan looked at the sky and said, "In this case, you ask your neighbor to prepare some yellow paper and ink first. When everything is ready, Pindao will come over immediately."
When the shopkeeper heard this, he immediately said: "Immortal, my neighbor has already prepared the yellow paper and Zhu Mo, and they are all high-quality paper and ink, which will definitely satisfy the immortal."
Chai Yan smiled and said: "But the shopkeeper, my belly..."
The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, then understood what Chai Yan meant, and immediately nodded and said: "Exian, wait a moment, I will arrange the meals right now, and I'll be here soon, right away..."
After saying that, the shopkeeper left the room.
Immediately afterwards, I heard the shopkeeper shouting loudly from outside, ordering the guys to work.
Not long after, many dishes were placed on the table in Chai Yan's house, but Jimo Qiao was not happy at all after seeing them, because these dishes were all vegetarian and had no meaty taste at all.
Seeing that she was unhappy, Chai Yan said, "Let's eat together first. I will get some meat for you later."
"Keep your word." With Chai Yan's words, Jimo Qiao's face looked better.
After the dishes were served, Chai Yan called Cheng Jiu and Yu Tie over to eat together, and at the same time told them that he would go out to perform a ritual ceremony soon.
Cheng Jiu and Yu Tie also wanted to go with them, but Chai Yan refused, because he felt that Cheng Jiu and the others were working too hard during the day, and they should rest and recharge at night, unlike himself and Jimo Qiao who were sleepy.
You can catch up on your sleep at any time.
After eating, Chai Yan tidied up his clothes, put the big gourd on his back and got ready to go out.
Chai Yan said: "What are you going to do? Are you going to cause trouble?"
"Brother-in-law, I won't cause trouble. I will be honest. If you ask me to go east, I will never go west!" Jimo Qiao said seriously.
The corners of Chai Yan's lips curled up: "Haha, you are not going to the west, but will go south to the north when the time comes, right?"
"Brother-in-law! I can't do that. Just let me go with you. It's too boring to stay in the room!" Jimo Qiao immediately grabbed Chai Yan's sleeves and begged coquettishly.
Cheng Jiu and Yu Tie on the side saw it and had no choice but to hold back their laughter.
Chai Yan couldn't bear her pestering, so he had to say: "Okay, okay, you go, you go, I'm afraid of you..."
"Thank you, brother-in-law!" Jimo Qiao jumped up and down with joy.
"Call me Senior Brother!" Chai Yan corrected him again.
"I know, brother-in-law!" Jimo Qiao shouted with a smile.
Chai Yan rolled his eyes helplessly, opened the door and left the room without saying anything more to her.
When he came to the counter in the inn lobby, Chai Yan found the shopkeeper and said, "Shopkeeper, you can go."
The shopkeeper immediately handed over the matter at hand to the capable man beside him, and then guided the way very respectfully and politely: "Xianzhang, Xiangu, please come this way!"
The three of them left the inn and walked twenty or thirty steps forward when the shopkeeper pointed to a small street and said, "Xian Chang, Xian Gu, if you go in from here, you will find my home."
Chai Yan thought to himself, this is really close, just diagonally opposite the inn.
"Chief Immortal, Immortal Aunt, please!"
The shopkeeper said another polite word and led the two of them towards the side street.
Along the way, many people greeted the shopkeeper, but in the end their eyes would fall on Chai Yan and Jimo Qiao.
After passing the gates of several houses, the shopkeeper suddenly raised his finger to block a courtyard door and introduced: "Xian Chang, this is my house. The house in front of me is the neighbor I mentioned. We are separated by a wall."
Chai Yan looked at the front door of the shopkeeper's house and said a compliment: "Yeah, not bad."
The shopkeeper suddenly stopped and asked with a smile: "Immortal, I have a small request. I hope the Immortal can agree..."
"Just tell me, shopkeeper," Chai Yan said with a calm expression.
The shopkeeper took a small step closer, lowered his voice and said: "That's it...that's it. I'll help my neighbor do the rituals in a while. Master, can you also go to my house and take a look?"
ah?"
"The shopkeeper is indeed a businessman. He even takes a share of the credit in doing the business." Chai Yan said with a smile.
The shopkeeper smiled awkwardly and said: "Don't blame me, you have seen it. After all, my house is separated from hers by a courtyard wall. As the saying goes, if you are not afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the worst, hehe...
....”
Chai Yan thought for a while and said: "Okay, for the sake of your being a nice person, Pindao will agree to it."
"Oh, thank you so much, thank you so much, Immortal!" The shopkeeper was overjoyed immediately.
