"Okay!"
Uncle Qian spat out these three words with a disappointed look on his face, and then went out.
The next night, those evil spirits came again. This time, they were not just barking in the street, those guys were also knocking on the door from door to door.
"There is a talisman on the door, but those evil ghosts actually dare to knock on it?" I looked at Yi Ba with some confusion.
"The talisman I drew, it is said that the evil spirits dare not approach it!" Yi Ba frowned and said: "You dare to knock on the door with the talisman on it, we have to open the door and take a look. , How powerful is that evil spirit? ”
Yi Ba walked to the door, pulled it gently, and opened the door with a creak.
There was clearly something knocking on the door just now! But after opening the door, there was nothing outside.
"Where's the guy who knocked on the door?" I looked outside and saw nothing, so I asked Yi Ba.
"Did he run away?"
As soon as Yi Ba finished speaking, a man walked over from the street entrance and stood in the middle of the street.
"Every shopkeeper in Guquan Old Street, come out." The man shouted at the top of his lungs.
“Creak…Creak…”
Businessmen on both sides of the street opened their doors one after another after hearing the man’s shout.
"Did you release the evil spirits who came to Guquan Old Street to cause trouble these past two nights?" It was Uncle Qian who asked this question.
"You have three days to move out of Guquan Old Street. If you haven't moved out after three days, don't blame me for being ruthless." The man said.
"What kind of ruthless method?" Uncle Qian asked coldly.
"Leave or die!"
The man squeezed out these four words from his mouth, and then left.
"Who was that person just now?" I asked Uncle Qian.
“I don’t know either.” Uncle Qian replied, and then asked everyone: “Do you know where he came from?”
Hu Weiyong stood up and said: "Judging from the temperament of that person just now, he should be a ghost breeder. If I guess correctly, he should be Gui Lao Wu."
"Gi Lao Wu ? Are you talking about the ghost Lao Wu who raised tens of thousands of evil spirits? "Uncle Qian looked at Hu Weiyong in disbelief.
"He should be the only one called Gui Lao Wu!" Hu Weiyong said.
"If it's really that devilish old five, this will be a bit troublesome!" Uncle Qian frowned.
If that ghost Lao Wu really raised tens of thousands of fierce ghosts, Guquan Old Street would probably not be able to escape the disaster. Even if the tens of thousands are just bragging, and he only has a few thousand, that's still a big deal.
"Where are Uncle Duan and Sister Shaoyao?" Only then did I realize that we had been chatting here for a long time. The doors of Duan's Store and Sanji Pawn were still closed, and neither Sister Shaoyao nor Uncle Duan showed up.
"What are the two of them doing? Such a big thing happened in Guquan Old Street, and they didn't even show their faces?" Uncle Qian went to Sanji Pawn with a look of dissatisfaction on his face.
"Dong-dong-dong! Dong-dong-dong!"
Uncle Qian knocked on the door heavily.
The door opened and Sister Shaoyao gave Uncle Qian a cold look and asked, "Is something wrong?"
"Such a big thing happened in Guquan Old Street, and you didn't come out to take a look?" Uncle Qian asked.
"Uncle Qian, it's not like you don't know that I'm the most afraid of ghosts. I just run a pawn shop, and I don't know anything about ghosts. Even if I come out, I can't help. I'm busy! Besides, aren't I afraid?" Sister Shaoyao said.
"I won't knock on your door if I'm afraid of solving the problem." Uncle Qian pointed to Duan's store and said, "You are familiar with Uncle Duan, go and get him Call me out! I can’t say anything about Guquan Old Street alone. I have to let Uncle Duan come and discuss it together.”
Sister Shaoyao knocked on the door of Duan’s store, but she kept knocking for a long time. None of the doors were opened.
"Isn't Uncle Duan in the store?" Uncle Qian hurried over and shouted several times at the top of his lungs.
"Uncle Duan is not here. Gui Laowu came to Guquan Old Street to cause trouble. It's up to you, Uncle Qian, to come up with an idea!" Hu Weiyong said.
“On this street, the one who is best at catching ghosts and exorcising evil spirits is Taoist Yi.” Uncle Qian looked at Yi Ba and said, “Taoist Yi, the survival of Guquan Old Street depends on everything. I have to rely on you!”
“I can’t guarantee that I can do it, I can only do my best.” In front of so many people, Yi Ba can’t give Uncle Qian any face! So he reluctantly agreed.
"If you, Daoist Master Yi, need any help, just ask. As long as you can help, there will be no ambiguity." Uncle Qian said.
"Gui Lao Wu is definitely going to let the evil spirits come to Guquan Old Street to cause trouble. Even if he can successfully contain those evil spirits, he still has to find something to put them in." Yi Ba looked at Sister Shaoyao and said : "I heard, Sister Shaoyao, that you picked up a small pottery urn sent by Tong Shou to contain little ghosts at the Prince Consort's Tomb. I wonder if I can borrow it?"
A small pottery urn? Yi Ba actually came up with the idea of the small pottery urn that Sister Shaoyao picked up. I took a look at the small pottery urn at the time and didn't see anything special about it. What was Yi Ba's plan when he asked Sister Shaoyao for that thing?
“I don’t know where to put that thing.” Sister Shaoyao obviously didn’t want to give it to Yi Ba.
“I don’t know where I put it, but that doesn’t matter. There are so many people here. At worst, we all go to Sanji Pawn Shop to help look for it. We will definitely find it.”
Uncle Qian is also an uncle after all. As a gentleman, how could Sister Shaoyao's little thoughts escape his notice?
“No need to bother you, I’d better go back and look for it myself!” Sister Shaoyao is not stupid either. There are so many treasures in Sanji Pawn. If it’s like what Uncle Qian said, everyone will run in and dig through it. Look, who can guarantee that no one will fish in troubled waters and take advantage of others!
When walking to Sanji Pawn, Sister Shaoyao glared at Yi Ba with a very dissatisfied look.
After about half an hour, Sister Shaoyao came out with the small pottery urn.
“Take it!”
Sister Shaoyao threw the small pottery urn to Yi Ba. Fortunately, Yi Ba had quick eyes and quick hands and caught it in time. Otherwise, the small pottery urn would fall to the ground and break into pieces.
"Is there anything else you need?" Uncle Qian asked Yi Ba.
"No more for now." Yi Bada said.
“It’s getting late, everyone, let’s go back and have a rest!” Uncle Qian asked everyone to disperse, and then said to Yi Ba: “Master Yi, I had no choice but to do this just now. Guquan Old Street. I know that ghost Lao Wu is difficult to deal with, but I still hope that Mr. Yi can save this street! If there is anything else you need, you must ask someone for it! Got, absolutely not "I understand." Yi Ba nodded and said, "This disaster in Guquan Old Street is not so much man-made as it is God's will. Can we avoid it?" , God has his own arrangements. All we need to do is to do our best and know the destiny!"
"Thank you for your hard work, Taoist Master Yi." Uncle Qian said politely to Yi Ba, and then returned to his own Fangyuanzhai. Went.
Uncle Qian’s shop is, at best, a money store, but at worst, it’s a loan shark. The name Fangyuanzhai is closely related to money. The inside is square and the outside is round, isn't it just copper coins?
"Why do you want that small pottery urn?" After returning to Yiba Pavilion, I asked Yi Ba with some doubts.
“If there are no internal troubles, there will be no external troubles. If Gui Lao Wu dares to come to look for trouble, there must be something wrong within Guquan Old Street. Recently, the two weirdest people on the street, one It's Uncle Duan, and the other one is Sister Shaoyao. I asked Sister Shaoyao to hand over this small pottery jar, just to see if I can find anything out of it," Yi Ba said.
"How to check?" I asked curiously.
“This small pottery urn is used to contain little ghosts. For ghosts, the small pottery urn is their home.” Yi Ba paused and said: “The little ghosts who have lived in this little pottery urn , as long as you are not out of your wits, you can try to use this little pottery jar to summon them."
"What you mean is to summon those little devils and see if you can get anything out of them. ?"I asked.
"Although this method is very stupid, sometimes the more stupid the method is, the better the effect will be when it is used." Yi Ba said.
“When will it start?” I asked Yi Ba. "Without further ado, let's get ready and let's get started!" After saying this, Yi Ba started working there.
