097 “Blessing from Heavenly Official” Chapter 96
by☆、Chapter 96 The chaos in the square is not the chaos in the heart 2
Thanks for the pity: “I…”
Before he finished speaking, he felt Huacheng exert a slight force, and a burst of pain suddenly climbed up, and he couldn’t help but shrink.
Although Huacheng’s movements have been extremely restrained, and this pain is nothing to him, for some reason, he seems to be unable to hide the pain in front of Huacheng.Maybe it was because Huacheng said something to him first, which made him want to hold it back deliberately, but he failed.Sensing Xie Lian’s flinch, Huacheng immediately clenched his ankle and whispered: “It’s okay. It will be fine soon. Don’t be afraid.”
Xie Lian shook his head.Huacheng’s movements over there were lighter and he started quickly. When he raised his hand again, he had taken out a small needle and said: “Okay, it’s okay.”
Xie Lian took a closer look and saw that the tip of the needle was flashing with a vicious light. Huacheng’s five fingers closed slightly and crushed it into a wisp of black gas, which dissipated in the air.Seeing this, Xie Lian put aside his uneasiness for the time being, and said with concentration: “What a heavy resentment. Ordinary fetal spirits will not have such strong magic power.”
Huacheng stood up and said: “Yes. Therefore, it must not be the normal passing of the fetal spirit.”
At this time, a masked man came in with his head bowed, holding a clay pot in both hands, and presented it to Huacheng.Xie Lian subconsciously observed whether the man was wearing cursed shackles on his wrists, but this time his sleeves were tightly tied.Huacheng took it, took a look at the pot with one hand, turned around and handed it to Xie Lian who was sitting on the black jade table.Before Xie Lian could get closer, he heard a muffled cry of children inside, and something seemed to be banging wildly inside, causing the pottery jar to shake slightly. He was almost unable to stand, and he was even more alert.
And he took the pot, slightly lifted a corner of the pot’s seal, and only glanced inside, a chill instantly ran down his spine.
I saw a pool of something like a embryo inside. Although the arms and legs had grown out, they were weak and weak, and the head was hidden in the darkness.The whole thing looked like a mass of deformed internal organs.
This is what it really is!
Xie Lian immediately resealed the jar and said: “That’s it.”
He had heard that some people would look for pre-term pregnant women, cut out their babies, and make them into imps to perform some spells, driving them to harm others, protect themselves, or bring good luck to their homes.From this point of view, this fetal spirit is the product of that kind of sorcery, and his mother was very likely to have been a believer of Xie Lian, otherwise she would not have put Xie Lian’s amulet in the clothes of her unborn child.
After pondering for a moment, he thanked you and said: “You caught this fetal spirit. Sanlang, do you mind if I take it to investigate? Because I have encountered it once before in Yujunshan, and this is the second time it has appeared in front of me. I don’t know if it is a coincidence or there is some connection.”
Huacheng said: “Just take it away if you want. Even if I don’t show up, you can catch it alone.”
Xie Lian smiled and said: “Having said that, it is much easier for Sanlang to catch it than for me to catch it.”
He said it casually, but he heard Huacheng say: “Really? If I hadn’t gone at that time, how were you going to catch it? Eat it into your stomach, and then swallow the sword?”
“…”
He really got it right.
There was no displeasure on Hua Cheng’s face, but Xie Lian felt that he was a little angry for no reason.
Instinct told him that if this sentence was answered incorrectly, Huacheng would be even more angry.Just when he didn’t know how to respond, he suddenly felt his stomach shrink slightly, and he couldn’t help but say, “…I’m a little hungry.”
“…”
Xie Lian, who only reacted after saying the words, was embarrassed to see the expression on Hua Cheng’s face. He could only explain honestly: “I’m really hungry this time…”
After a long while, Huacheng finally burst into laughter.
With this smile, the haze in front of Xie Lian seemed to dissipate, and he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.Huacheng half smiled and half sighed, nodded and said: “Okay.”
Originally, Huacheng wanted to let him hold a banquet in Ji Le Fang, but when Xie Lian heard the word “feast”, he knew that he would have to spend a lot of money, so he offered to go out for a walk and find something to eat, and Huacheng agreed.
It was very warm in Ji Lefang, and their wet clothes were dried soon after entering.But Xie Lian’s women’s clothing was extremely eye-catching, so he borrowed a set of clothes from Huacheng and changed into clean white clothes.After that, the two of them went out and walked far away, but they could still hear the cry of the fetus spirit, calling “Mother” one after another, which showed its tenacity.However, the ghost market was already full of cries of ghosts and howls of wolves, so it was not surprising that the cries were lost among them.
Ghost Market Street is still very lively, with stalls selling special snacks on both sides.Although the ghosts are still the same ghosts, their attitude is very different from the last time Xie Lian came to visit.Huacheng walked side by side with him, and the fantastic-looking bosses all smiled and rushed to greet the two of them. They almost bowed and nodded, which made Xie Lian inexplicably think of a word: “The fox pretends to be the tiger’s power.”
In addition to paying attention to Huacheng, there were thousands and hundreds of eyes that cast even more ardent glances at Xie Lian, seeming to be scrutinizing and guessing who could walk side by side with the Lord of the Ghost Market. This made him doubt whether he had made a wrong decision.Being in the turbulent flow of monsters and monsters, in front of everyone’s attention, Huacheng was accustomed to it, and asked him: “What do you want to eat?”
Finally, I saw a stall selling something that was not very strange. Xie Lian wanted to make a quick decision and said, “This is the one.”
Huacheng said: “This one is not good.”
Xie Lian wondered: “Why?”
Huacheng said nothing and motioned for him to look inside the stall.Xie Lian took a look and saw that the stall owner was so excited when he saw them staying here that he rubbed his hands as if he was waiting for them to come. He was so nervous that he wiped the tables, chairs and benches vigorously.However, the thing he uses to wipe the tables, chairs and benches is his tongue.
“…”
Although the pots and pans licked by the wide and long tongue were all covered with crystal water drops, reflecting a new luster, Xie Lian decisively gave up on the store and left quickly.After walking a few steps, he saw a chicken soup restaurant with clean and fresh decorations. The sign in front of the door read, “Home-raised local chicken, slow-cooked soup. Freshly made and sold, guaranteed to be clean.” He stopped and said, “Ah, there is chicken soup, why don’t you come and have a bowl?”
Huacheng said again: “This one can’t do it either.”
Xie Lian understood and said: “Is there something wrong with the plate or the chicken?”
Huacheng took him into the store, opened a curtain, and motioned for Xie Lian to take a look.Xie Lian poked his head in curiously and was speechless.I saw a big pot standing at the back of the kitchen. There was a big fire under the pot, and the pot was steaming. In the pot, a man with a big red comb on his head was taking a bath happily in the boiling water.There are many buckets next to the cauldron, filled with salt, pepper, herbs and other seasonings.A customer in the front hall shouted: “Boss, be saltier! The taste is too bland!”
While soaking in the bath, the man grabbed a handful of seasoning and rubbed it on himself. He wiped his back hard with the towel to add more flavor.Finally, let out a loud cry: “Oh, oh, oh!”
Xie Lian lowered the curtain and exited silently.
After walking around for a long time, the two finally found a store with the slogan “Authentic Human Food”.Although Xie Lian feels that this “authenticity” needs to be questioned. For example, as far as he knows, chefs in the world do not use the meat of large monsters that are difficult to hunt to make kebabs, but relatively speaking, this restaurant is already the most normal.
As soon as the two sat down, the ghosts who had been following them for a long time gathered around and contributed extra dishes to them with great enthusiasm.The pig butcher carried a white human leg on his shoulder, slapped it loudly, and said in a rough voice: “City Lord! Do you want fresh thigh meat? The goods just arrived!”
The group of ghosts cursed: “Go away! Will the city lord’s friends eat that stuff? Do you think he is a green ghost? Maybe I can still eat it if I chop off your thighs!”
“The smell of blood is so strong, don’t make people sick!”
The pig really raised a pig’s hooves and said: “If the city lord and his friends can take it seriously, this leg doesn’t matter, just chop it! Let me tell you, my leg meat is definitely strong!”
Xie Lian couldn’t help laughing and lowered his head to drink the porridge.Huacheng ignored them, and all the ghosts rushed to Xie Lian with enthusiasm, saying:
“Local specialty snack brain juice! Selected high-quality monster brains, each of which has been practiced for more than fifty years! Smell this delicious aroma!”
“This duck blood is very good. Look at it. I just cut it from myself. Try it.”
“The fruits in our family are authentic fruits fresh from graves. If they don’t grow on dead people, we won’t pick them at all. Children and old men are innocent…”
There were piles and piles of them, so many people were overwhelmed with gratitude that they kept saying thank you.It was difficult to resist such turbulent enthusiasm, but some special snacks were really difficult to look at directly. In the rush, I saw Hua Cheng holding his chin on the opposite side and looking at him with a smile. He thanked you for looking left and right, coughed lightly, and whispered: “…Sanlang…”
Huacheng then said: “Brother, don’t pay attention to them. People are just crazy.”
Yougui immediately said: “The city lord must not say that! We are not crazy when everyone comes. If the city lord is our grandfather, then the city lord’s brother is nothing, he is our uncle…”
“Yes, of course uncle will go crazy when he comes!”
Xie Lian didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, thinking that this was all nonsense. Huacheng also shouted: “Stop talking nonsense. Shut up!” The ghosts quickly said: “Yes! City Lord, you are right. Shut up. It’s not uncle!”
Unexpectedly, at this time, a few female ghosts who had been laughing and joking finally couldn’t help it anymore and said quickly: “Hey! You… aren’t you the Taoist brother who told Lan Chang that he wouldn’t do it last time?”
“…”
Thank you for not spitting out a mouthful of porridge on the spot.
The ghosts seemed to have discovered some shocking secret, and they exclaimed: “Oh my god! It’s true!”
“It’s him, it’s him! Lan Chang has been telling people everywhere!”
Many smarter ghosts covered the mouths of those who shouted, but Huacheng must have heard it.Xie Lian looked up and saw Huacheng raising an eyebrow and looking at him with an unclear look, as if he was thinking about what the word “not lift” meant in connection with him.That was originally a casual excuse that Xie Lian made when he encountered a female ghost last time. At that time, he was also laughed at by a group of ghosts, but he was able to deal with it calmly.Now that he was stabbed in front of Huacheng, he couldn’t bear it anymore. He was so embarrassed that he wished he could choke himself with a mouthful of porridge and said: “I…”
Huacheng seemed to be patiently waiting for him to continue.But what can be said about this?Are you still trying to defend yourself with a serious look on your face?
Xie Lian had no choice but to say: “…I’m full.”
He was indeed full. After saying that, he stood up and hurried out of the stall.The group of ghosts behind them were holding a bunch of carefully prepared special snacks and howling: “S-Sir! Do you still want to eat!”
Huacheng also chased after him, took the time to look back, and said again: “Get out!”
The ghosts quickly rolled away again.Xie Lian walked randomly in front for a while, then followed up after seeing no ghost, slowed down and waited for Huacheng.After a while, Huacheng walked forward with his hands behind his back and said seriously: “I didn’t know that my brother had such a hidden disease.”
Xie Lian immediately said: “No!”
Then he said helplessly: “…Sanlang.”
Huacheng nodded and said: “Okay. Sanlang understands. I won’t say any more.”
He seemed to be very good and obedient, but it was very obvious that he was fake. He thanked him and said, “You are so insincere.”
Huacheng smiled and said: “I swear, you can’t find anyone more sincere than me in heaven and earth.”
Hearing this familiar reply, Xie Lian also smiled.
After a moment, he said seriously: “Sanlang, do you know where the Thousand Deng Temple is?”
