The inspections in Anwucheng are quite strict. The most outrageous thing is that when Ye Ming chose to pay some money to ask the city guards to do a more relaxed inspection, these guys chose to accept the money and did not let the inspection go wrong at all.
Of course, they won't find anything in the end, they just delay Ye Ming for some time.
Not long after entering the city, Ye Ming made a fortune-telling casually. Not wanting to make an unexpected discovery, he drove a donkey cart to an inn.
This inn is in a good location, and you can observe the movements of people in several surrounding streets.
When I arrived at the inn, I saw that there were not many guests in this apparently strategically located place.
What’s even stranger is that most inns also function as restaurants.
But this inn obviously has a kitchen, but no guests are seen eating here.
There are almost no ordinary young and middle-aged people in the inn. They are either old, weak, sick or disabled, or people with some background.
The waiter in the shop is not a man, she is a pockmarked, thick-set aunt.
When the aunt saw Ye Ming, a blind man begging for food, she would drive him away.
Ye Ming didn't bother to conflict with her, so he directly showed her money to shut up.
With the money, the aunt immediately changed her face, greeted Ye Ming warmly, introduced him to how nice her room was, and never mentioned food.
Ye Ming did not mention this matter and just chose to stay.
After going upstairs, Maisui looked at the rooms here curiously.
To be fair, in a place as close to the border as Anwucheng, the rooms here are indeed pretty good.
It's just that no matter how good the room is, it only solves the problem of accommodation, but not the problem of food.
After Maisui looked around, he looked at Ye Ming:
"I'm hungry."
"Tell the waiter to prepare a table of food for us."
Seeing Ye Ming say this, Maisui trotted down.
But after a while, Maisui came up again with a disappointed look on her face, followed by the waiter's aunt.
"Guest, I'm sorry. If you have any dissatisfaction with your stay, we can help you solve it at any time, but the food..."
"What happened to the food?"
When Ye Ming asked, the aunt hesitated for a long time, and finally told the matter in a cryptic manner.
It's strange to say that since one day half a month ago, the inn has been cursed. No matter what food is cooked, it will make those who eat it sick.
Various diseases are possible, and if you eat too much, it can cause a person to become mute and no longer able to speak.
What’s even stranger is that not only does this happen to the food in the store, but also to the food brought in from outside.
Everyone said there was something dirty in the store, and the shopkeeper invited several goddesses to look at it, but to no avail.
Although there are no other problems in the store except the food problem, no one dares to stay in this store again.
After listening to what the aunt said, Maisui looked at Ye Ming if he felt aware of it.
She remembered that Ye Ming came here specifically for a fortune telling.
Ye Ming just smiled and said:
"It just so happens that Yang knows a little bit about the art of shamanism. How about letting Yang come to your store's back kitchen to have a look?"
After hearing this, the aunt immediately agreed.
If she didn't have nowhere to go, she would have wanted to leave this inn and find another way to make a living.
Now that I heard that someone is willing to take a look, I would be happy to do so.
Maisui followed them to the back kitchen of the inn, and saw a lot of ingredients, and her mouth watered.
Ye Ming smiled and said: "Please help us cook a table of delicious dishes so that I can cast spells to ward off evil spirits."
The aunt has no doubts about him, but she doesn't know how to eat anyway. If these people don't believe in evil and eat to their stomachs, the inn will not be responsible.
The inn chef has two brushes for cooking, and the dishes he cooks are full of color, flavor and flavor.
"I didn't expect that in this bitter cold borderland, the level of cooks would be so high."
Ye Ming said with a sigh.
The cook heard this and shook his head:
"It's not just for the sake of getting out of trouble. General Dong, who is now guarding the border, has extremely exquisite food requirements and recruits a large number of cooks every year.
We all look forward to becoming the cooks of General Dong’s family. "
Hearing this, Lei Ling looked at Ye Ming thoughtfully.
This plot looks very familiar.
Ye Ming asked a few more questions about General Dong.
"General Dong Da is a man who enjoys himself. He often travels eight hundred miles to rush to transport food for himself.
It is said that in order to get fresh lychees from the south, more than a dozen messengers were mobilized, more than 20 good horses were exhausted, and nearly half of the messengers who delayed the time were killed, and then we got fresh lychees..."
The cook told some stories about General Dong’s love for food.
Things like cutting ice to fish in the middle of winter are trivial matters worth mentioning.
It can be said that there are not many people in the world who know how to eat like General Dong Da.
Ye Ming seemed very satisfied with the cook's answer and rewarded him with a piece of silver, which made the cook extremely happy.
Then he sent the cook and aunt away and asked Maisui to close the back kitchen door.
Maisui closed the door and looked at the table of food longingly.
But she also knew that something was wrong now. It was not the time to eat. She looked at Ye Ming eagerly, wondering what Ye Ming was going to do.
Lei Ling was also surprised. She looked around several times and sniffed, but found nothing unusual.
"Strange, there doesn't seem to be anything special here."
Lei Ling, who was a little confused, hoped Ye Ming could explain.
Ye Ming didn't answer anything directly, he just took out the horn incense burner, flicked the incense burner, and a black shadow flew out and landed on the ground.
It is Tang Yongmingjing who has the body of a camel and the head of a camel.
Tang Yongmingjing was suddenly released. He was still a little confused and looked at Ye Ming.
Ye Ming pointed to a table of food. Seeing this, Tang Yongming turned back to look at the food on the table.
Normally, it would not be polite when seeing so many delicious foods, but it was indeed a little surprised at this time and said to the table of food:
"What kind of monster are you? You're attached to food. Come out quickly, otherwise don't blame me for being unkind!"
Both Lei Ling and Mai Sui were surprised. Tang Yong Ming seemed to be able to see the problem.
Ye Ming looked like he was watching a good show.
Under a few threatening words from Tang Yongmingjing, the food on the table suddenly became hazy, and invisible smoke floated out from the food, eventually turning into a spirit.
This monster looks like a seven or eight-year-old child, wearing purple clothes and having black feet.
After appearing, the child-like spirit looked at Tang Yong Mingjing with a wary look on his face, and uttered a clear childish voice:
"Who are you? Why do you care about me?"
Tang Yongming said sharply: "You don't know me, but I know you. You are a ghost with a pig's horns and a white belly."
The child didn't expect to be screamed at by Tang Yongming. With a look of horror on his face, he turned around and turned into a black shadow, trying to escape.
But as soon as he turned into a black shadow, he was pinned to the ground by Lei Ling's paw, unable to move.
When Tang Yongming saw this, the expression on Luotuo's face twitched slightly.
That's how it was caught by Lei Ling. Unexpectedly, it would harm another "same kind" now.
The pig-horned white-bellied ghost was held down by Lei Ling. He was very unconvinced and kept struggling, but he couldn't get rid of it.
Tang Yongming saw this and gave him good advice:
"I advise you not to waste your efforts. Catwoman's cultivation is so powerful that you cannot compete with her."
Lei Ling curiously asked Tang Yong Mingjing:
"What is this pig-horned white-bellied ghost you are talking about? It's hiding in the food, and even I can't detect it."
"Sir, this pig-horned, white-bellied ghost is somewhat similar to a villain. They are both spirits that refuse to accept heaven, earth, and gods.
The preference is hidden in the food. As long as someone eats the food it is attached to, they will get sick. If they eat too much, they will become mute until they die.
This spirit's hiding ability is extremely strong, and even some monks find it difficult to see through its disguise.
However, like the villain, his cultivation is very weak and he cannot cause much damage. "
Tang Yongmingjing introduced the pig-horned white-bellied ghost in more detail.
After hearing this, Lei Ling suddenly realized something.
Ye Ming said:
"The spirit that doesn't care about the sky, the earth, and the gods is really enviable. If you have a strong cultivation level, it will be really amazing."
Tang Yongmingjing hurriedly explained:
"It's not that great to say that the sky doesn't care, the earth doesn't care, and the gods don't care. In fact, when you meet a powerful master, you are still at the mercy of others."
It was afraid that Ye Ming would abuse it in order to study its so-called "secrets".
Ye Ming pointed to the pig-horned white-bellied ghost and said to Lei Ling:
"Convinced this little guy."
Tang Yongmingjing saw this and knew that this was an opportunity to win Ye Ming's favor, so he immediately took the initiative to ask for help.
To this, Ye Ming happily agreed and invited Maisui and Leiling to have a feast together.
The hungry Maisui sat at the table, looking at the sumptuous dishes on the table, and then at the pig-horned white-bellied ghost being cleaned up by Tang Yongmingjing, and some did not dare to move his chopsticks.
Ye Ming, on the other hand, had no scruples and ate directly.
Lei Ling knew Ye Ming very well. Knowing that this old devil could eat like this, there should be no problem, so she also transformed into a human form and enjoyed the feast.
After Maisui hesitated for a while, her hunger overcame her worry, and she started eating.
Tang Yongming, who was training the pig-horned white-bellied ghost, glanced at the food being eaten from the corner of his eyes and swallowed.
But it also knows that others cannot eat the food it has come into contact with, otherwise it will cause stomach upset.
Besides, it didn't dare to make any demands, so it could only spread its energy on the pig-horned white-bellied ghost.
The pig-horned white-bellied ghost is like a stubborn child. No matter how much Tang Yong Mingjing tries to deal with it, he just refuses to give in.
This makes Tang Yongmingjing feel very uncomfortable. It is the type that surrenders instantly. Now that it sees a similar person who refuses to give in, it has an inexplicable feeling. It must make the other person become like itself, to please, flatter, and cater to that person. It only takes a few adults.
Only in this way will it feel more balanced and appear that its decision is correct.
Therefore, there is no scruple in dealing with the pig-horned white-bellied ghost.
Facts have proved that not all ghosts are soft bones, and this pig-horned white-bellied ghost is a typical hard-bone.
He was almost beaten to death by Tang Yongmingjing, but he refused to give in. He just cursed Tang Yongmingjing.
Tang Yongming became a little angry and raised his foot to crush the pig-horned white-bellied ghost to death.
At this time, I heard Ye Ming's light and fluttering voice.
"That's enough, don't really kill me."
"But sir, it is completely disobedient. It is useless to keep such a spirit. Why not..."
Tang Yongming didn't know what his state of mind was now, he just wanted to kill this monster who had more backbone than himself.
"What, my words don't work?"
Ye Ming said calmly, but Tang Yongming was frightened and broke into a cold sweat. He immediately bowed his head and said:
"What the adults say is whatever it is."
After saying that, he turned his face and said fiercely to the pig-horned white-bellied ghost:
"I still don't thank you for not killing me!"
The only person who responded to Tang Yong's cry was "Pooh" from the pig-horned white-bellied ghost.
Tang Yongming saw that it didn't give him any face, and his heart was filled with anger. He was thinking about how to kill this pig-horned white-bellied ghost.
"Bring it to me."
Ye Ming "watched" the pig-horned white-bellied ghost with great interest.
Hearing this, Tang Yongming had a bad premonition in his heart, but he did not dare to object. He obediently picked up the pig-horned white-bellied ghost and forced it to kneel in front of Ye Ming.
The pig-horned white-bellied ghost refuses to kneel down and kicks its feet around.
Tang Yongming was so angry that he trampled the pig-horned white-bellied ghost's legs into smoke and forced him to kneel down.
Ye Ming did not stop all this, but smiled and said to the pig-horned white-bellied ghost:
"I won't kill you, nor will I enslave you. As long as you promise to do one thing for me, I will let you go. How about that?"
Tang Yongmingjing was a little anxious when he heard this:
"Sir, this pig-horned white-bellied ghost is so ignorant, how can you negotiate terms with it?"
Ye Ming closed his eyes and "fucked" Tang Yong.
Tang Yongming suddenly felt like he was sweating and didn't dare to speak anymore.
Ye Ming continued to look at the pig-horned white-bellied ghost, waiting for its reply.
"If you want to kill, just kill. I am not afraid of death."
