The shopkeeper did not speak, but glared at them, took their hands and looked at them, his brows became more and more frowned, as if he saw something big wrong.
Jianxing and I looked at each other and never felt that time passed so slowly.
After a long time, the shopkeeper murmured: "The word "sex" is like a knife in the head. Your friend is so angry that he is so lustful that he attracts a resurrected ghost and runs into a rare 'bloody calamity'. If not,
You have shared his bad luck for him, so he is probably on his way to hell, but judging from your situation, he probably won't live long, he will be back in the west in three days or seven days!"
Did I help him share his bad luck? No wonder I had bad luck even though I was doing well!
After hearing what he said, the surrounding diners sat down one after another and seemed to have lost interest in me, while the waiters shook their heads slightly and went back to their business.
Seeing their actions, I couldn't help but break out in cold sweat: "We...we won't live long?"
Jian Xing remembered tears streaming down his face: "Master, please help us. I'm so young and I still have old parents at home. I can't just die like this!"
The shopkeeper touched his chin and thought for a while: "There is no way to save you, but it will be very dangerous. I don't know if you dare to try it!"
Hearing what he said, their eyes immediately brightened up: "We are almost dead, so how can we care about the danger? Please tell me quickly!"
The shopkeeper made some calculations on his left hand and asked us in a low voice: "Have you had sexual dreams these past few days? If so, who did you dream about?"
I hurriedly said: "I did it once the day before yesterday. The woman... I don't recognize her, and I can't see her appearance clearly."
Jian Xing was a little embarrassed: "Well... I... I have been having erotic dreams every day these days, and... I dream about that beautiful woman... Oh no, it's a female ghost!"
The shopkeeper frowned again and spat out a breath at us: "It seems that it is a bloody disaster. You are lucky today. You accidentally ran into our teahouse. Come with me!"
Although he was a little reluctant, I could see that he still wanted to help them. Under this situation, I looked around again and found that this teahouse was not ordinary.
Why is it unusual? First of all, there is a pair of couplets carved in block letters on the inside of the door. The first couplet is "If you have evil intentions, burning incense will not do any good", and the second couplet is "Stand upright and upright. It doesn't matter if you don't worship me when you see me."
, Hengpi means 'upright and upright'.
Strange, why do you hang such couplets in the teahouse?
Looking around again, there are two rows of large lanterns, one red and one white, hanging on the top of the door. There are many characters written on the lanterns that I can't see, and the dazzling decorations are also very interesting, except for some statues of gods and Buddhas.
, the others are all monsters of strange shapes and sizes.
Jian Xing also noticed these details, and he asked me in a low voice: "Li Yang, it seems a little... a little weird here..."
The shopkeeper turned around and smiled, and said in a joking tone: "The world is so big and full of wonders. You have only lived for about twenty years, so your horizons are very narrow."
There seemed to be something in what he said, and his intriguing smile made me even more curious: "Shopkeeper, here... what kind of teahouse is this?"
The shopkeeper shook his head and smiled: "You just know that this teahouse is not simple. As for what kind of teahouse this is, we can ask you later when you can survive the bloody disaster."
He was right, it didn't matter what kind of teahouse this place was, what mattered was that they could survive this mysterious bloody catastrophe.
But I have a hunch that this teahouse can help them!
He came to the counter and opened a large red-covered book more than ten centimeters thick. He muttered something while looking up something. After a long time, he said: "Everyone in our store who can help you has gone out.
I'm afraid you will have to rely on yourselves to survive this time."
Hearing him say this, I couldn't help but be shocked: "Ah? Then... then please give me some advice from the shopkeeper!"
The shopkeeper seemed to expect that they would say this, and he calculated it skillfully on the abacus: "The price for the destined person is 200 for two magic talismans, and the other magic weapons add up to about 300. I will charge you a total of 500 yuan, and the full 500 will be paid after the transaction is completed."
Return, but you have to work as a waiter in a teahouse for two months, is there any problem?"
Jianxing and I looked at each other, wondering why this rule was so weird, but in order to survive, they still nodded without hesitation: "No problem, no problem!"
"It's no problem. Once you stamp a fingerprint on this book with your finger blood, our contract will officially come into effect. But remember, this contract is very important and must not be violated, otherwise there will be disaster."
The shopkeeper wrote some strange runes on the book and gave them a small red needle, instructing them to press their fingers with blood.
Although this method of signing a contract is very ancient and mysterious, it gives me a very reliable feeling, and I respect this contract from the bottom of my heart and decisively left my fingerprints on the book.
The moment my blood came into contact with the book, a strange change occurred. The black words written by the shopkeeper with ink on it all turned red, and rows of strange runes appeared around the paper. They emitted a slightly dazzling sound.
The light then dimmed again and turned into a quiet red rune, which surprised me very much.
When the waiters at work saw that they had signed the contract, they all nodded to them and softened their expressions, as if to welcome them.
I turned back to them one by one and asked the shopkeeper in a low voice: "They...were they also taken care of by the teahouse and stayed as waiters?"
"You will know this question in the future."
The shopkeeper's monk took out a large book that was ten centimeters thick and took out another book with the same thickness. However, the outside of this book was different from the previous red one. This one was white.
This reminds me of the two rows of large red and white lanterns. Although I don’t know what the connection is between them, I can guess that they are just like this mysterious tea house, and there must be a lot of elegance inside.
The shopkeeper began to look for something in the book again, while Jianxing and I waited silently, not daring to make any sound so as not to hinder the shopkeeper's work.
"Okay, I have it."
The shopkeeper flipped through his big book and said: "Someone is possessed by evil spirits in Gaoling Pit. You two should go and deal with it quickly. As long as you get that thing sorted out, I will help you solve this bloody disaster."
"Gaoling Pit!?"
When I heard this word, I couldn't help but be stunned: "Gaolingkeng is my hometown. Someone is possessed by evil spirits in my hometown? This...and...my grandma is a goddess, she should have a way to deal with it, right?"
The shopkeeper smiled slightly: "Maybe your grandma has a way to deal with it, but my book will not make mistakes. You should go back as soon as possible. If it exceeds the time, you will not live long."
Jianxing and I felt our palms go cold and hurriedly asked him: "Shopkeeper, when did you say it was over time?"
The shopkeeper still gave each of us a yellow talisman and warned: "You have suffered a bloody disaster. If you don't want to die, eat this talisman. If you get back to your hometown before 7:15, you may still be able to survive."
Hearing what he said, Jianxing immediately panicked: "Uncle, my hometown is in Shandong, which is in the south. I can't catch it by plane! And I'm an orphan. I have no home for a long time!"
The shopkeeper pointed at me and said, "If you don't have a family, just sworn sworn friends and go to his house!"
I hurriedly said: "Li Yang and Jianxing have been sworn friends for a long time! It takes more than two hours to drive back to my hometown. It's almost five o'clock now, and... and we don't have a car!"
"Isn't there a motorcycle here?" Jianxing pointed at a motorcycle parked not far from the big tree, with a very excited expression on his face.
I asked the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, is that car yours?"
A trace of hesitation flashed in the shopkeeper's eyes, and then he said firmly: "It's not mine. Don't make mistakes about other people's cars. That's illegal."
"As long as it's not yours!"
Jian Xingfei got on the car, stepped on it with his right foot, and the motorcycle started to catch fire with a "wu" sound!
His face was very stern. After throwing the helmet to me, he said in a tone that I couldn't resist: "Brother, get in the car!"
Seeing that he just did what he said, I jumped into the car without thinking. Jianxing turned the accelerator, and the car spewed smoke and sped forward!
Jianxing shouted to the shopkeeper without looking back: "Thank you for saving us, we will definitely come to you!"
The car was driving very fast. I squinted my eyes and looked back. I saw the shopkeeper's eyes widened and he stood there with a confused look on his face. After a few seconds, I vaguely heard him yelling hysterically: "Fuck you uncle..."
...That's my car! How the hell did you tell me to get home in the middle of the night...You two bastards, you don't play by the rules!"
My heart trembled, and I turned around and said to Jianxing, pretending not to hear, "Drive faster, this car belongs to the shopkeeper, don't let him catch up!"
"For the sake of our lives, I have to do it again!"
Jianxing growled: "Li Yang, sit tight, let me show you what speed and passion are!"
We were speeding all the way towards my hometown - Gaolingkeng!
Fortunately, Jianxing was a good driver, so we only overturned the car twice along the way and returned to the entrance of the village. There were only 10 minutes left before 7:15!
Just when we thought our lives were saved, Wang Dali, the son of the village chief, stopped us!
"Hey, who is this? Wearing a helmet and sneaking around our village? Stop the car!"
In addition to being a farmer, he also has an identity, that is, he is the captain of the village's voluntary patrol team.
"Fuck you, don't get in my way!"
Without saying a word, Jianxing knocked the tall and powerful Wang Dali to the ground with one punch. Although I think this is inappropriate, we will really die if we don't get home!
Regardless of Wang Dali’s life or death, they finally stepped into my small yard. After entering, we were back home!
