chun jie di xiao long
Chapter 238 Hold On!
Boss Zhou really wanted to stand up and curse.
What do you mean by "you ghost servants"?
This is my home.
I'm sitting in my own home,
Doing nothing,
Saying nothing,
And you include me in this?
Of course, Boss Zhou wasn't impulsive enough to immediately jump out and tear everything apart. Their primary target was clearly Liu Chuyu, this newly promoted Changzhou ghost servant. That pretentious guy obviously had a special relationship with that woman.
Zhou Ze wasn't really familiar with or knowledgeable about these real-world Xuan cultivators. The leper monk was crazy and full of chuunibyou (middle-school syndrome), and the old Taoist and Aunt Xu weren't from orthodox backgrounds.
Having a Liu Chuyu paving the way for him was something Zhou Ze couldn't have asked for.
"Smack!"
The female ghost was finally knocked away by Liu Chuyu. At the same time, his mirror suddenly turned and flipped downwards, directly sticking to the female ghost's face.
He was planning to directly shatter the vengeful ghost, forcibly granting her "liberation."
"Ding-dong!"
The skinny guy's bamboo pole stretched out and poked the mirror, sending it flying back and landing on the bar.
"Thud..."
The mirror spun around on the bar before rolling off and landing on the ground, right in front of the old Taoist and Monkey.
Before Liu Chuyu made his move, the old Taoist was gripping his crotch with one hand and the edge of the bar with the other, squatting behind it like a soldier hiding in a trench. However, this soldier was trembling slightly.
But suddenly,
Fortune fell from the sky!
The old Taoist looked at the mirror on the ground in front of him, his eyes turning green. Of course, he wouldn't be foolish enough to pick up this item and return it to the ghost servant from Changzhou. Instead, he subconsciously reached out to try and grab it into his arms.
Anyway, his two bosses had killed quite a few ghost servants, so even the old Taoist, who was only responsible for shouting "666" from the sidelines, didn't have much respect for these ghost servants.
However, the moment the old Taoist's hand touched the mirror, his palm instantly turned red. The old Taoist let out a muffled groan and quickly pulled his hand back.
"Hoo hoo hoo..."
Blowing on his scalded hand, a million grass mud horses galloped through the old Taoist's mind.
In reality, the old Taoist was thinking too simply. How could a mortal easily touch a magical artifact used by a ghost servant, especially one that had just been activated?
The monkey took two steps forward and reached out its paw to grab it.
"Hey, don't..."
The old Taoist shouted subconsciously.
"Squeak squeak squeak!"
But the monkey picked up the mirror and began to play with it.
Looking at the monkey's undamaged paw,
And then looking at his own scorched pig trotter,
The old Taoist suddenly felt inferior to an animal!
After playing with it for a few circles, the monkey made a gesture as if to throw it to the old Taoist. The old Taoist was so frightened that he waved his hands frantically, signaling it not to be impulsive.
Monkey, I understand your filial piety, but this poor Taoist won't take it.
The monkey scratched its head in confusion, then pointed the mirror at itself.
In the mirror,
Appeared not a cute and adorable monkey face,
But a fierce-looking adult ape, with a face full of baleful aura, and heavy desires between its brows!
"Squeak squeak squeak!!!!!"
The monkey was so frightened that it smashed the mirror on the ground,
And collapsed on the ground,
What was that?
Scared the monkey to death!
Over there,
The skinny pretentious guy, after knocking over the ghost servant's magical artifact with a bamboo pole,
Didn't look cool for long.
In fact,
What Zhou Ze had previously guessed about a tit-for-tat confrontation or even the latecomer surpassing the former didn't happen.
From the other party's attire and wearing sunglasses at night, including the earlier move of including Zhou Ze, who was quietly eating melon seeds on the sidelines, into the "mockery" sequence,
It could be seen that,
The other party's IQ was indeed a bit underdeveloped.
And the reality was as expected,
The current situation was that Liu Chuyu, who had been disarmed of his mirror, didn't disgrace his identity as a ghost servant. Losing a magical artifact didn't turn him into a useless weakling like the old Taoist. Instead, he quickly used his other methods to pin the skinny guy to the ground and began to beat him mercilessly.
The skinny guy was beaten black and blue. At first, he would still utter some harsh words, but later he could only hug his head and curl up there, passively taking the beating and whimpering.
The onlookers suddenly felt that this drama wasn't very interesting. Boss Zhou was even calculating with Bai Yingying how many chairs they had broken and which places they had dirtied, and how much they would have to pay for compensation afterward, preferably settled in ghost money.
And the female ghost, taking advantage of the fact that Liu Chuyu was beating the skinny guy, actually grabbed the male singer's hand, walked over to Zhou Ze, and knelt down in front of Zhou Ze:
"I implore the superior to grant our wish and send us both to the netherworld together."
Zhou Ze shrugged, showing no reaction. Vengeful ghosts couldn't be sent down, they could only be destroyed on the spot. If he wasn't afraid of trouble, he could "persuade" her to dissipate on her own.
As for this male singer's soul, Boss Zhou, who had just sent away a group of student souls the day before yesterday, wasn't that eager now. Whether he ate this mosquito-leg-sized piece of meat or not, he could wait until Liu Chuyu was finished before making a decision.
The female ghost was kowtowing to Zhou Ze,
Begging.
Zhou Ze was a little helpless. To be honest, he didn't own hell,
It was the rule that vengeful ghosts couldn't be sent to hell through the gates of hell by ghost servants,
Boss Zhou wasn't one of those little fangirls who were obsessed with tragic love dramas and cried their eyes out. No matter how miserably or fiercely you cried, he still couldn't help.
"Boss, there's a problem."
Bai Yingying, who was standing on the side, suddenly turned to look out the window. In the distance, in the sky, there was a cloud of dark clouds that was slowly descending towards here.
And that skinny guy, who had almost been beaten into a pig's head by Liu Chuyu, suddenly raised his head and muttered something while bleeding from his mouth.
Liu Chuyu's body suddenly stiffened, as he had a natural sense of rejection and disgust towards men.
Before, when he was beating him, the other party kept cursing and then started "whimpering" as if humming some local dialect tune. Liu Chuyu thought that the other party had been beaten to the point of collapse.
But now that his mind had cooled down a bit from the excitement of beating someone, he realized that what the other party had just been chanting was actually a curse from the Northeast. He was inviting a spirit to possess him!
"Why didn't you just kill him from the start?" Bai Yingying muttered.
"Ghost servants pay a great price for killing living people for no reason," Zhou Ze explained.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh... whoosh whoosh whoosh..."
From outside the bookstore,
A gust of yin wind swept in.
"It's really lively at home today."
Zhou Ze supported his chin with both hands and continued watching.
Bai Yingying turned around and walked to the refrigerator, took out half a piece of frozen watermelon, and walked back, feeding Zhou Ze bite by bite with a spoon.
"It's a bit cold."
Zhou Ze frowned.
Bai Yingying put the spoon into her mouth first and held it for a while, then took it out and put the spoon to Zhou Ze's mouth.
Zhou Ze opened his mouth and ate it.
Warm on the outside and icy on the inside,
The taste was just right.
Here, a man and a woman were seriously eating watermelon,
On the other side,
The situation had already begun to change.
"Eighth Aunt!"
The tall, thin man let out a low shout, and then his entire temperament underwent a completely different change, becoming gloomy and aloof. Especially his original triangular eyes, which now seemed to be splitting apart.
"Hiss hiss..."
Sticking out her tongue,
Eighth Aunt chuckled:
"Young man, this old woman is being polite. No matter what kind of misunderstanding it is, give this old woman some face and let's end it here.
Let us take Chunmei back to the village, and we guarantee that she won't come out to cause trouble again. Anyway, she has already turned into a vengeful ghost, and she is of no value to the officers.
As for this guy..."
Eighth Aunt pointed to the male singer's soul, who was still in a daze,
"You can send him down. When this matter is over, I will prepare some local specialties and send them to the two officers after I go back."
Zhou Ze took another bite of watermelon, licked his upper lip, and shook his head slightly. It wasn't satisfying, not satisfying at all.
He originally thought that after being beaten up, the skinny guy would definitely find a way to get back at them after inviting a spirit to possess him. Who knew that this great immortal would actually come forward to reason with them directly?
Tsk tsk,
This melon was really tasteless.
It was clearly his own bookstore, but the stages kept changing, with you singing and me taking the stage in turn. Yet he, the owner, could only watch from the sidelines.
Huh,
That's right,
Great immortal?
Wait.
Zhou Ze revealed a thoughtful expression, and then, as if he had thought of something, instructed Bai Yingying to leave.
Bai Yingying nodded and walked away.
Liu Chuyu hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
When dealing with ordinary people and ordinary ghosts, he had a natural advantage, so he wasn't afraid at all. But when facing this "Eighth Aunt" who had been invited inexplicably, Liu Chuyu didn't dare to be too presumptuous.
In Zhou Ze's opinion,
Liu Chuyu was a newly promoted ghost servant, and his mind was probably full of desires for achievement points. And this female ghost should have been a Xuan cultivator in her lifetime. Sending her to the underworld would earn him ten times or even more achievement points, so he made an agreement with this female ghost for this purpose, making some compromises and retreats in order to send this female ghost down.
But who knew that this female ghost wouldn't play by the rules and killed people, turning herself into a vengeful ghost, and her value instantly became worthless.
His beating of the tall, thin man just now was more like a venting of his inner anger.
And this mysterious Eighth Aunt should also be wary of the background of the Yin Division and was unwilling to tear the Yin Division's face because of this kind of thing, so she made a gesture of being willing to resolve the situation.
The female ghost was still crying and begging there, begging Zhou Ze for a while, and begging Liu Chuyu for a while, but no one paid attention to her.
Liu Chuyu looked at Zhou Ze and sighed.
But Zhou Ze smiled very happily, and Liu Chuyu was stunned when he saw this.
"Let's go, come back with me, and take another look at the mountains and rivers of your hometown. We old folks will send you to liberation again."
Eighth Aunt reached out and grabbed the female ghost, pulling her away from the male ghost.
"Silly girl, is this kind of man worth entrusting so much to, even cutting off your own path to rebirth?"
Eighth Aunt had a look of pity on her face,
Then,
She took the female ghost's hand and walked towards the door, while sighing:
"What is love in this world..."
It seemed that Eighth Aunt was also a woman with a story... uh... a female, ah.
At this time,
Bai Yingying took a delicate wooden box from upstairs and delivered it to Zhou Ze's hands.
Zhou Ze couldn't wait to open the box,
Took out an old-fashioned notebook with a somewhat tattered cover and a black cat printed on it.
Holding up the notebook,
Zhou Ze looked at Eighth Aunt, who had just walked to the entrance of the bookstore,
Hearing the other party's sigh,
Immediately shouted:
"I'll call you Eighth Aunt,
Do you dare to answer?"
