Two customers came in front of the Wanxie Restaurant.
The two of them were half a step apart, chatting and laughing as they crossed the threshold one after another.
Walking in front was a young man wearing brocade robes, holding a folding fan in his hand and a sword hanging from his waist. His skin was white and his flesh was red, his eyes were shining, and he was almost the same as a living person.
Behind Mr. Brocade is a middle-aged man, wearing black attire, with a tall and majestic body, a pale complexion, a muscular face and a beard. He has a sword hanging on his waist. He keeps his right hand on the handle of the sword when he talks, laughs and walks, giving him a fierce look. A harsh feeling.
Judging from the way they dress and talk, the bearded man seems to be the escort of Young Master Brocade.
As soon as the two entered the door, they suddenly heard a clang and went out conditionally. They found that a young man accidentally dropped the wine bottle in his hand, which made the old man next to him unhappy and slapped the young man angrily.
"Ah!" The bearded man's eyes fell on the young man. He first stopped and was stunned for a few breaths, then his body shook and he looked at the young man and screamed in surprise.
Mr. Brocade was startled by his sudden scream, turned around and asked in confusion: "What's wrong?"
"I'm sorry, Young Master, I scared you." The bearded man hurriedly bowed to the Brocade Young Master to apologize, then suppressed the ghost energy that was shaken by excessive excitement, and explained: "I met a junior from the previous life, and I lost my temper because of the excitement. I hope you will forgive me."
"That boy?" Mr. Brocade heard this and looked at the young man who dropped the wine bottle. The young man was looking over here, and his expression was very excited.
"Yeah," the bearded man nodded.
The two of them looked at each other in the air. The brocade gentleman nodded politely to the young man, then withdrew his eyes from the young man, looked at the bearded man and said: "I will go to the private room upstairs first. You can come up after reminiscing about old times. No need." Causing unnecessary trouble."
"Thank you, Master!" The bearded man hurriedly bowed to Master Brocade and thanked him.
When Young Master Brocade asked what was wrong with the bearded man, Master Tianwu was also asking what was wrong with Zhang Xiaozu. He slapped Zhang Xiaozu at the same time, taking back the yang energy that Zhang Xiaozu had leaked due to his violent mood swings back into his body.
Zhang Xiaozu quickly suppressed his excitement, but his voice still trembled uncontrollably: "Niu, Niu, Uncle Niu, Da Wa's father, Niu Yao!"
The bearded man is Niu Yao, Niu Dawa's father.
How could Zhang Xiaopou not be excited when he met Niu Yao here? He could still sit down on the stool without jumping up and rushing forward. He was already trying his best to control his emotions.
After hearing this, Tianwu Taoist immediately understood why Zhang Xiaozu was so excited. He looked the bearded man up and down and found that he was indeed 67% similar to Niu Dawa. He was surprised and reminded Zhang Xiaozu: "Humans and ghosts have different paths. He is a ghost." We are human beings and cannot be messed up.”
"Disciple understands." Zhang Xiaozu took a deep breath and tried his best to calm down his turbulent emotions.
Niu Yaoming sent Mr. Brocade upstairs, and then walked straight to Zhang Xiaopeng in three steps and two steps at a time. His body was full of ghost energy due to excessive excitement. He stopped in front of the table with a bang, and stared at Zhang Xiaopeng with a pair of slightly hollow eyes. The pawn asked in an excited and sad tone: "Pawn, you, you couldn't escape in the end?"
In fact, if he hadn't seen Zhang Xiaozu's emotional reaction when he looked at him, he wouldn't have dared to recognize Zhang Xiaozu, because Zhang Xiaozu had changed so much in the past few months. Both his height, appearance and temperament were different from those of just now. It was completely different when I left Liujia Village.
"Uncle Niu, I, I -" Zhang Xiaopou didn't know where to start.
"Sit down and talk." Tianwu Taoist said, and reminded Zhang Xiaozu: "Time is limited, keep the story short."
"Sir, you ordered the stir-fried Cui Luo flowers and the three delicacies mixed with dragon meat." The waiter brought the two dishes.
"Dragon, dragon meat?!" Zhang Xiaozu was shocked when he heard the name of the dish, and his eyes fell on a plate of boiled meat mixed with an unknown sauce on the table.
"I'm Niu Yao, I've met my senior." Niu Yao first bowed his hands to the Tianwu Taoist priest, then sat down at the table and explained to Zhang Xiaopou with a smile: "It's not the legendary dragon meat, it's a kind of dragon meat that's three or four times more like a dragon. Similar ferocious beasts.”
"Oh, I'm telling you, it scared me." Zhang Xiaozu suddenly said.
After such an episode, both he and Niu Yao's emotions eased a lot.
Zhang Xiaozu looked at Taoist Tianwu and asked, "Master, can you tell me?"
"I can say it. I have cast a forbidden spell so that no one else can hear our conversation, but we must speak quickly. The Yin Gate will be closed in three quarters of an hour." Taoist Tianwu said.
Hearing the words "Yin. The door is closed", Niu Yao was stunned for a moment and then his eyes suddenly widened. He stared at Zhang Xiaopou and said in disbelief: "Xiao pawn, you - you -"
"That's right, Uncle Niu, I'm not dead. Today is the Ghost Festival on July 15th. Master brought me to the underworld to learn more." Zhang Xiaozhu interrupted Niu Yao and said.
"That's great!" Niu Yao said excitedly and happily.
"The eldest baby is not dead either." Zhang Xiaozhu added.
"Really?" Niu Yao grabbed Zhang Xiaopou's hand and asked excitedly.
Zhang Xiaozu nodded vigorously, patted Niu Yao's rough big hand, and said comfortingly: "Da Wa and I are both alive and well, and we each have become famous teachers and have made many amazing friends——"
"You'd better not say this to him." Taoist Tianwu interrupted Zhang Xiaozu, "He is already a ghost and is living well in the underworld. Your words will reawaken his longing for his previous life in the world. This is not the case in this world. To comfort him is to harm him.”
Zhang Xiaozhu was startled when he heard this and hurriedly shut up, saying: "Anyway, Dawa and I are living well, and you don't need to worry about us. Just live your life well."
Niu Yao's pale and stiff face squeezed out a smile that was uglier than crying, and nodded: "I am living well down there, so you don't need to worry. Also, all the young and old men in Liujia Village have been reincarnated. Er, Que'er, her mother, and her brother suffered in their previous lives, so they were reincarnated in this life to live in wealthy families. The old village chief was even more outrageous, saying that he was going to be the prime minister of some country."
"Haha, that's really great." Zhang Xiaozhu said happily, knowing that all the people in Liujia Village were reincarnated successfully, especially when he heard that Que'er had been reincarnated into a wealthy family, and the old village chief actually became the prime minister, he felt in his heart I have let go of my last concern. As long as I take revenge, I can let it go completely and completely without any care.
"Uncle Niu, why didn't you reincarnate?" Zhang Xiaozhu asked curiously.
"I was originally going to be reincarnated, but Lord Taiwu valued me and said that I had good cultivation aptitude and was suitable to be a ghost. He also allowed me to leave memories of my past life. I thought it would be the same as a human or a ghost, so I agreed to stay In the underworld, Master Taiwu helped me reshape my Yin body and taught me the method of cultivation." Niu Yao recounted.
Taoist Tianwu put down his wine glass, glanced at Niu Yao, nodded and said: "One of the three souls is a ghost soul, which is indeed suitable for ghost cultivation."
"Senior's Dharma Eyes and Golden Eyes." Niu Yao was secretly surprised. He didn't expect that Taoist Tianwu could tell the difference in him with just one glance. However, he was relieved when he thought that Taoist Tianwu could bring his disciple Zhang Xiaozu to visit the underworld. Knowing that this must be an extremely powerful senior master, he felt happy that Zhang Xiaozu could have such a powerful master.
"Sir, you ordered braised three-legged herring and braised Jiuming black tiger ribs."
"The food and wine have been served for you. Please use it with your courtesy, sir."
"If you have any other needs, you can call me anytime."
The waiter brought the other two dishes and stood at the table and said respectfully.
Tianwu Taoist said: "Here are ten kilograms of hell fire brew, I will take it away."
"Okay. Please wait a moment." The waiter left in response.
Niu Yao originally wanted to grit his teeth and help them pay the bill, but when he heard the names of the two new dishes and the ten kilograms of Minghuo Brewing that Taoist Tianwu asked for, he was immediately frightened and did not dare to say a word. The little money in his pocket was not enough to buy it. There are three herrings with one tail.
When we meet, we seem to have thousands of words to say, but after sitting down, we can finish them in just a few words. Because people and ghosts have different paths, it is wrong to say too much.
"Master, is there anything I can do to help Uncle Niu in his cultivation?" Zhang Xiaozu asked Taoist Tianwu.
"You can bless him with an object and give him some cultivation elixirs. Well, I remember that someone gave him a piece of Yin Sheng wood that night. Here it is." Tianwu Taoist took out a piece of black wood one inch long and as thick as a little finger. Putting it on the table and flicking it towards Niu Yao, Heimu immediately rolled along the table to Niu Yao.
"This, this is too valuable, I can't accept it." Niu Yao was frightened and did not dare to accept it.
Zhang Xiaozu took out a bag and filled it with a full bag of pills for Niu Yao. He stuffed it into Niu Yao's arms along with a jade pendant for blessing the soul-nurturing talisman. He also picked up the Yinsheng wood and stuffed it into it, saying : "Uncle Niu, what can you do to be polite to me?"
"Thank you, senior!"
"You really don't need to be polite with me."
Niu Yao first thanked Taoist Tianwu, then said to Zhang Xiaopou, and then looked around vigilantly, as if he was afraid that others would pounce on him and rob him.
Tianwu Taoist said: "Don't worry, others can't see it. They only see us drinking and chatting. When someone asks you later, just say so."
Tianwu Taoist pointed his finger, and a golden light shot into Niu Yao's eyebrows. A picture suddenly appeared in Niu Yao's mind, which was a scene of the three of them chatting and drinking.
"Senior is really a god!" Niu Yao was deeply impressed by Tianwu Taoist's heavenly skills.
Taoist Tianwu smiled and said: "I may not be able to fool people, but I can definitely fool ghosts."
"——" Niu Yao was speechless.
Under Zhang Xiaozu's shocked gaze, Niu Yao opened his belly and hid the things inside.
"Sir, you want ten kilograms of Hell Fire Brew." The waiter brought a ten kilogram wine jar.
Tianwu Taoist took out more than ten black beans and handed them to the waiter, saying: "One is a reward for you, and the rest is for food and drinks, just a little more."
"You are so generous! I will kowtow to you!" The waiter was very happy and knelt down to kowtow three times to Tianwu Taoist Bang Bangbang.
"The dishes are cold. Eat quickly." Taoist Tianwu greeted.
Niu Yao stood up and said, "I have something to do, so I won't be with you in old age. I hope that I will forgive you, senior."
"No problem." Taoist Tianwu waved his hand.
"Uncle Niu——" Zhang Xiaozu wanted to persuade him to stay, but he thought that the gate of the underworld was about to close and he had to leave soon, so he gave up the idea and said instead: "Tomorrow, the Ghost Festival, I and Da Wa will come to play with you."
"Not next year." Niu Yao rejected it, frowned and pondered for a moment, and said, "In five years."
"Okay." Zhang Xiaozu nodded.
"You and Dawa, take care of yourself." Niu Yao said and turned around to leave. He didn't ask in detail about Niu Dawa's situation, and he didn't dare to ask in detail, for fear of arousing thoughts about his previous life and confusing his mood, but he walked out After ten steps, he suddenly stopped again, turned around and said solemnly: "Pawn, forget about the grudge against Liujiacun. Just live a good life with Da Wa. Go further away, go to a new environment, and live a new life."
"I understand." Zhang Xiaozu responded. He just said that he understood, but did not nod in agreement.
After watching Niu Yao leave, Zhang Xiaozu couldn't wait to go back and tell Niu Dawa the good news. He couldn't imagine how happy Niu Dawa would be after hearing the news about Niu Yao. He was afraid that he would go crazy with joy.
But his impatience was forgotten after he tasted the fish.
While he was eating, Taoist Tianwu suddenly put down his wine glass with a bang, grabbed Zhang Xiaozu's shoulders eagerly and rushed out of the restaurant, then flew towards the direction of the Yin Gate at a speed that was difficult to distinguish with the naked eye.
"Master, what's wrong?" Zhang Xiaozhu asked in fright.
"I don't know yet, but I suddenly felt heart palpitations." Taoist Tianwu said with a solemn expression.
In front of the Yin Gate where the two of them came in, stood a huge skeleton more than thirty feet tall, holding a huge Yanyue Sword in its hand.
It was not long before the door to the underworld was closed, and the little ghosts came back from the earth one after another. But as soon as they entered the door, they were frightened by the huge skeleton and crawled to the ground. The fragile ghosts were so erratic that they were almost broken.
Fortunately, there was Black and White Wuchang beside him, who put them into his sleeves one by one.
But Black and White Wuchang was too frightened to take a breath. They just hoped that the Yin door would close quickly. They quickly collected the kid who came in, and then fled from this place without looking back.
