Chapter 31 General Xie's Pot
He hugged the little Jiaolong in his arms, staring at the thatched hut in front of him and the young man who looked like a scholar. He was completely burned in the fire, leaving only a pile of ashes, and then he covered Lu Wenren's eyes palms loosened.
"What about the big yard just now?" Lu Wenren, who had regained his eyesight, looked at the empty world in front of him.
The thatched cottage he saw just now, the door, and the people inside the door were all gone.
"Burn." He said calmly, bent down and picked up the charm of Yuqing Palace on the ground and handed it to the angry person, "If you are angry, you can deduct my salary."
Lu Wenren caught the burnt charm with only half of it left, feeling that he was underestimated today.
"Actually, I am quite courageous, no matter what kind of evil spirits they are, I can still look them in the face." Anyway, he is also a genuine fairy, how could he be frightened by ghosts.
The non-human being recalled his performance along the way, and nodded quite positively: "You are indeed quite courageous."
It seems that he is more familiar with those ghosts than he is. Those who don't know think he also knows those... ghosts.
There was no way ahead, so Lu Wenren had no choice but to turn around and walk behind him. After the two walked a few steps, he found that the non-human beside him stopped and looked sideways at him.
With a face wearing huge sunglasses, people can't see the expression under the sunglasses, but they can vaguely detect that the other party seems to be angry?
"Are you angry?" Lu Wenren looked around, there was no ghost, no one, nothing, the anger couldn't be directed at him, could it?
The angry non-human looked at him with the holey eyes hidden behind the sunglasses, "There was a sea of fire in the aisle just now, did those people look familiar to you?"
Lu Wen was shocked, and suddenly realized: "So you also have this feeling? I always feel strange, as if I saw it somewhere."
To him, these pictures always felt very familiar, as if he had seen them countless times before.
However, Lu Wenren searched through his 18 years of memory. From hatching to adulthood, he never left the Crystal Palace of the Yellow River, and came directly to Zengcheng after landing.
No matter how I think about it, I feel that it is impossible to see these pictures, so I always feel a little strange in my heart.
His answer fell into the ears of the scorpion, and it turned out that this little dragon was indeed the reincarnation of the scholar.
Otherwise, the other party would not feel familiar at all. Every ghost that walked along the way was the villagers who lived near the scholar's house.
Lu Wenren didn't expect that after he finished his answer, the other party would become silent like a mute.
The two walked silently along the corridor that suddenly appeared, and the rest of the journey turned into the original shape of the haunted house. There were no strange real ghosts, only a bunch of handmade quite ghosts remained. Poor fake ghost.
The staff guarding the gate saw two tourists coming out of the exit, and they were about to pass the Huoxiangzhengqi water prepared in advance to them.
After their haunted house was haunted, the boss specially went to wholesale it back, specially for those tourists who were frightened by ghosts to drink when they came out.
As soon as he raised his hand, he saw these two handsome guys, one indifferent and the other indifferent, walking out of the exit with calm breathing.
When passing by her side, the person walking behind also glanced at the small bottle held by the staff member: "For us?"
"Uh... yes! This is the Huoxiang Zhengqi Water that was given as a special gift!"
Although I don't understand why these two people stroll around the haunted house as easily as a walk, but the staff still handed them the two bottles of Huoxiangzhengqi water.
Lu Wenren took it, took two more straws, handed one bottle to the still inexplicably angry 虺, opened the remaining bottle in his hand, put the straw on it, and started drinking.
With one bite, Xiao Jiaolong, who had lived for 18 years, almost spat it out.
The weird taste made people want to vomit dryly. Lu Wenren only took a sip before turning to look at the staff member.
The hot and sweaty staff member was opening the fresh Huoxiangzhengqi water in his hand, put a straw on Lu Wenren's face, took a sip down his cheeks, and drank all the liquid in it. , Refreshed and lost the bottle.
Happy and comfortable all over the face.
This expression made Lord River God, who doubted the other party's intentions, fall into confusion again when he saw the Huoxiang Zhengqi Water in his hand.
This thing is the same as the Coke I drank in the hospital last time, both strange and unpalatable.
He also opened the Huoxiang Zhengqi water, and the non-human was confused by the strange and deadly taste, wondering if the little dragon was deliberately retaliating against him.
When he lowered his head and saw the same Huanglian expression on the other side.
The two non-human creatures both made a decision in their hearts.
In the future, except for clear water, no other beverages for human beings can be drunk indiscriminately.
Lu Wenren drank the bottle of Huoxiangzhengqi water with great pains, and waved his hand: "Let's go, let's go to the next haunted house."
The subsequent haunted house experience was similar. Lu Wenren found a total of 36 charms from Yuqing Palace, and there must be ghosts where the charms appear.
Before dark, Lord Heshen who came out of the last haunted house made a quick decision, and went to the homes of the haunted humans with the report card. From the purses and pockets of those people, they all found the same Yuqing Palace spell.
Lu Wenren looked at the charms he had taken back, and put them in a thick stack in his palm.
On the way back to the old stone bridge in the west district, he called Xia Bing.
Xia Bing and General Xie on the other end of the phone were still squatting on the old stone bridge. The two watched the river discharge all afternoon, and after confirming that there was no leak, they kept turning on the faucet and watched the water level rise little by little.
In the fire center diagonally across from the shore, several firefighters gave them wooden benches to sit under a tree and wait.
Now that he received a call from his boss, Xia Bing hammered his numb legs, stood up from the wooden bench and looked at the water level by the river. After confirming that the water level was normal, "Come on, let's go to the intersection and wait for the adults to come over. Return to Yuqing Palace after handover."
The two arrived at the intersection and stood there waiting for Lu Wenren to come back.
Lu Wenren and Xie got off the taxi and saw Xia Bing and Xie Jiang standing under the tree from a distance, and they stood there leisurely.
"How is the water in the river?"
Lu Wenren walked up to the two of them and asked about the condition of the river.
"Don't worry, my lord. When we left just now, we saw that the water level rose. We checked all the places where there were suspicious water leaks. Now many fish fry have come back to life." Take it pretty seriously.
"That's good, come and see this thing, do you recognize it?"
Lu Wenren took out the charm he had been looking for all afternoon and handed it to the two subordinates standing under the tree.
When Xia Bing saw the familiar talisman, he was stunned on the spot: "Master River God, why do you have the ghost-calling talisman of our Yuqing Palace?"
"Ghost Calling Talisman?"
Xia Bing turned the talisman to the front and pointed to the cinnabar pattern on it: "This is a talisman exclusively refined by our Yuqing Palace. Sometimes when we deal with non-human cases, we will use the talisman to call ghosts to lead the way, or to act as eyes. Come."
He counted the spells in his hand, "36 pieces, so many spells, our Taoist temple hasn't sold these spells recently?"
This kind of charm can only be used by people with cultivation like them. The West District is such a large site, and he and General Xie are the only two who cooperate with the police to deal with it.
Those who use this spell daily are only the two of them.
Xia Bing took these used spells, and elbowed his friend and colleague: "General Xie, please take a look too, these spells belong to our Yuqing Palace, right?"
Xie Jiang caught those spells with a pale face, each one was very familiar.
After drinking Mengpo soup a few days ago, he thought that he was going to die, and he wanted to let himself go before he died, so he filled several haunted houses in the urban area with ghost charms, and even tampered with them.
As long as you come into contact with the person with the spell, the person you miss or resent in your heart, the person will turn into a ghost and appear in front of you.
The premise is that this person must have died.
Think about being in a haunted house, suddenly seeing a dead person that you have been thinking about for a long time, and suddenly appearing in front of you like this, that picture is definitely worth the ticket price.
Xie Jiang left after finishing the spell, and later ran into five monsters on the road in the middle of the night, and then stayed in Yuqing Palace until today.
He completely forgot about the spell in the haunted house.
"General Xie? General Xie?" Xia Bing pushed his friend, and was startled when he saw his pale face.
"What's wrong with you? You look so ugly."
Lu Wenren also saw General Xie's expression, and then looked at the spells held in the other's hands. He was as uncomfortable as hot hands, and he knew it in his heart, "General Xie."
General Xie raised his head abruptly, looked in Lu Wenren's direction, and wanted to lower his head after meeting his gaze.
"Your salary will be gone next month." Lu Wenren looked at his guilty expression, turned on his phone with a cold face, and sent all his spending details today to Xia Bing's phone: "Here are all the haunted houses and transportation we have today." All the expenses are deducted from General Xie’s salary. As a cultivator, he puts the ghost charms in various places, causing panic among human beings. Do you know that today I and I ran for these ghost charms for a whole day before collecting them Come back, seven humans have already called the police to report ghosts?"
Xia Bing looked at his friend's guilt-ridden face. Now he knew where these spells came from without guessing.
"I'm sorry..." General Xie lowered his head, looking at the gravel on the ground with guilt on his face, he forgot what kind of impression those spells would bring to people, and asked Lord River God to take them out in person.
"You don't need to apologize to me. Go contact Wen Guofu yourself tomorrow morning, and apologize to the seven humans who were scared by your ghost charm. They are the ones you want to apologize."
"My lord, don't be angry. I will take General Xie to apologize tomorrow morning. You can rest assured that we will never make mistakes again!" Looking at the tense atmosphere, Xia Bing raised his hand with his friend and said that he only made a mistake this time. , I will definitely not dare next time.
"I hope you can do what you say, and there are still things to ask you to deal with in a few days."
Lu Wenren thought of his zoo, which was about to complain, and waved them away.
After they left, he pulled the 虺 to see his river.
When the clear water of a river is full, it flows cleanly in the river, and under the illumination of the street lamps, there are still small schools of fish faintly seen.
There are still many humans on the river bank, walking around the cleansed river.
In the past, this river was filled with all kinds of household garbage, and the stench could be smelled from far away in hot weather.
Now not only is there no rubbish, but the river bank has been tidied up. Walking around the crystal-clear river has immediately become the favorite thing for humans on both sides of the old stone bridge.
As a river god, Lu Wenren stood on the old stone bridge with his hips akimbo, looking very proud at this scene, and fell asleep in seconds when he slept at night.
He fell asleep on his front feet, and the bedroom door was pushed open from the outside on his back feet. He walked to the side of the bed and looked at the little dragon sleeping soundly on the big bed, and quietly took the list of inhuman betrayals provided by the beaver demon.
He quietly left the small western building again, preparing to let the non-human beings in the West District get to know him again tonight.
This night, there was a bit of depressing cry of pain in the calm of the night in the west district. Even Poseidon, who did not appear on the list, accidentally added his name to the list due to the beaver demon's mistake, causing him to be at home. He was beaten up on the way to recuperate.
Poseidon, who had just woken up for less than an hour, squatted pitifully in the bucket with black and swollen eyes, "This guy beats people too hard! Obviously he said he wanted to take the life of the river god!" , Now that he is the first to rebel, we are not allowed to have an opinion, it is too much, I want to lead the non-humans in the West District to strongly protest his brutal behavior, huh? Why is there no water?"
Poseidon looked up at his friend holding a hose to water him.
After running tap water for a day, the plastic water pipe was finally temporarily shut down by the Water and Electricity Bureau because of the abnormal rotation of the water meter, and staff were sent to check the situation.
The author has something to say:
Poseidon: Give the god some face!
