A few minutes later, in the Taoist temple.
Cao Yi met Zhao Li.
He was wearing a black sleeveless windbreaker and had a soul-killing gun on his leg. He was lean and lean.
"Taoist Priest, can you help me see the elixir in this bottle?"
Officer Zhao took out a small white porcelain bottle from the handbag he was carrying, with hope in his eyes.
Cao Yi reached out to take it, opened the stopper, and felt a cold wind blowing in his face. It's like there's a ghost hiding inside.
With a thought, the elixir inside floated out.
This is a pale white elixir, which is reminiscent of the pale face of a zombie. The gray gas surrounding the elixir is mixed with the power of soul and resentment, which makes people even more uncomfortable.
"Where did it come from?"
Cao Yi looked at Zhao Li.
"The ghost elixir I asked someone to refine is said to be able to give birth to a new soul for those who have lost their souls."
Zhao Li explained.
Cao Yi recalled for a moment and remembered the origin of this thing. In the later plot, there was a soul ferryman named Murong who helped Zhao Li make elixirs and was wanted by Pluto.
Later, Zhao Li and Jiutian Xuannv teamed up to make Murong fake his death and escape.
"You ghost pill?"
Cao Yi's eyes returned to the elixir and he frowned slightly.
"how?"
Zhao Li, who didn't really believe in this ghost elixir at first, suddenly became worried when he saw Cao Yi, a professional, frowning.
"How long have you been eating?"
Cao Yi asked.
"hundreds of years"
Zhao Li replied.
"But because it is difficult to gather the ghosts needed to make alchemy, the number of times to eat is very small, just a few times in total."
He went on to say.
"is that useful?"
Cao Yi asked again.
Zhao Li's expression became very strange, "I can't tell. Every time after taking the ghost pill, I always feel that it is close, but it is always just a little bit behind."
"Don't take this elixir."
Cao Yi said.
Zhao Li took a deep look at Cao Yi and nodded: "I listen to you."
"The elixir Pindao told you about last time still needs some things."
Cao Yi said.
"what?"
Zhao Li asked eagerly.
"You need a soul." Cao Yi paused and continued: "It must be the kind of soul that is extremely sinful and has a certain climate."
"A living soul or a dead soul?"
Zhao Li asked.
"It's better to have a living soul"
Cao Yi replied.
"He is extremely sinful and has a soul with a certain climate."
Zhao Li was pacing and chewing on these words.
Gradually, his brows furrowed deeply, as he knew that such existences were not easy to mess with.
Well, to be precise, either he has strong cultivation or he has a big backer. Easy, not to be messed with.
"Isn't it okay to be ordinary? There are many ordinary people who have committed evil throughout their lives?"
He said subconsciously.
"The crime must be extremely heinous and the soul must have a certain climate."
Cao Yi said categorically.
"Besides, you're ordinary, aren't you afraid of being discovered by Pluto?"
He then said something else.
Official Zhao was silent for a while and nodded in agreement.
"Take Pindao to your soul station. Pindao has a feeling that something will be discovered tonight."
Cao Yi said.
"Soul Station?" Zhao Li was stunned for a moment, then suddenly said: "You are talking about convenience store No. 444."
Cao Yi hummed.
…
In a certain district of Suzhou, in front of convenience store No. 444.
Cao Yi's eyes flashed with fire, and the convenience store in front of him was distorted.
It turned into a huge city gate as dark as ink, with a plaque hanging on it and two bloody characters written on it - Gate of Ghosts, with Yin Qi constantly spurting out from inside.
As expected, convenience store No. 444 is just a front. The passage to the underworld is what it really is.
No wonder there are always ghosts gathering here in the original plot.
"This Ghost Gate is an extension of the Ghost Gate, just like a branch of a large mountain range."
Zhao Li explained.
"The waiter inside looks a bit familiar, as if I've seen him in Dog Stick."
Xiaotian, who came with him, spoke.
"Don't mention the dog stick again"
Official Zhao stared.
The psychological shadow caused by the second girl inside was too great. Now he can't listen to the word "dog stick" at all.
Xiaotian curled his lips and said nothing more.
"Taoist Master please"
Zhao Li led the way.
Cao Yi and Xiao Tian followed.
Entering the Ghost Gate, or convenience store No. 444, the first thing you see is Xia Dongqing, the night shift waiter behind the cashier, dozing off.
Zhao Li, who was walking in front, quickly walked to the cashier in three steps, stretched out his big hand, and slapped the cashier.
Xia Dongqing stood up suddenly.
"Believe it or not, if you sleep during working hours, I will deduct your salary?"
Zhao Li pretended to be angry and frustrated.
Xia Dongqing, who was so thin that she was about to lose her appearance, was quite nervous at first. When she heard the word "salary deduction", she said anxiously: "Deduction again. You have almost deducted all my salary."
"Shouldn't it be deducted for sleeping during working hours?"
Official Zhao sneered.
"There are no guests. What's wrong with me taking a nap? Why are you so inhumane?"
Xia Dongqing was aggrieved and angry.
"I'm not a human being, so what kind of humanity do I need?"
Official Zhao sneered.
Xia Dongqing was choked to the point of being speechless.
"Ahem"
Cao Yi coughed twice.
Zhao Li turned his head, and his face changed from a widow's face to an old bustard's face in an instant: "Taoist Master, please come in?"
"Taoist priest?"
Only then did Xia Dongqing, who noticed Cao Yi, look surprised.
Cao Yi smiled at Xia Dongqing.
Xia Dongqing also smiled at Cao Yi.
Cao Yi followed Zhao Li and walked a few steps towards the door of the warehouse. Suddenly he heard the grunting sound of a hungry person.
Turning around, he saw Xia Dongqing holding her stomach.
"Are you hungry?"
Cao Yi asked.
"I only had one meal today"
Xia Dongqing looked embarrassed.
A college student is so miserable that he can’t even afford food.
He himself was so ashamed.
"You can eat whatever you want here, and it will be charged to my account."
Cao Yi said.
After watching this drama, he knew Xia Dongqing's situation very well.
Because he has a pair of dark eyes, he can often come into contact with ghosts.
Ghosts are ominous things that combine poverty, sorrow, decline, disaster, shame, misery, misfortune, pain, illness and death... 18 kinds of disasters into one body.
Let alone looking for a job, Xia Dongqing should be grateful to heaven and earth for not being out on the street.
Xia Dongqing was overjoyed at first, and then waved her hand to refuse: "No, no, this is the first time you and I have met, how can I let you invite me?"
Still a principled person.
Cao Yi didn't force himself, smiled and entered the warehouse.
Well, of course the warehouse is not really a warehouse.
It is an antique courtyard, with a stone table in the center and two magical jujube trees planted on both sides.
"Taoist Priest, please sit down."
Zhao Li raised his hand.
Cao Yi walked over and sat aside.
Official Zhao sat down and clapped his hands.
In the blink of an eye, a girl dressed as a member of the Qing Dynasty court walked out of a room wearing flower pot shoes and carrying a red lacquer plate.
"Ghosts of the Qing Dynasty"
Xiaotian made a sound.
"Qing Dynasty Princess"
Zhao Li explained with a smile.
Cao Yi was speechless.
Zhao Li is very good at enjoying himself and having a princess from the Qing Dynasty serve him.
The girl came to the table, poured the tea with her plain white hands, and returned to the room carrying the red lacquer plate.
"It can't be Yoshiko Kawashima, right?"
Xiaotian said suddenly.
Zhao Li, who had just taken a sip of tea, sprayed it directly.
"no"
He explained immediately.
