The old man in ragged clothes was stepping into the house. Hearing Chang Sheng's words, he was stunned for a moment. One leg was in the door and the other was outside. His expression was stunned. He could neither advance nor retreat.
Datou and the others had spent time with Chang Sheng and knew him well. Hearing his cold tone, they immediately understood that there was something wrong with the old man at the door, and almost at the same time they touched the weapon beside them.
The atmosphere was extremely tense and the scene was extremely embarrassing.
Everyone on our side did not look carefully at the old man at the door before, but this time everyone's eyes were focused on him. This man was short in stature, wearing a shabby black clothes, with a long pointed mouth and monkey cheeks, a deer head and mouse eyes, and very messy hair. , there are many wrinkles on his face, he must be around seventy years old, his eyes are cloudy and lifeless, and he does not look like a Qi practitioner.
Hearing Changsheng's words and seeing Big Tou and the others on guard, the old man in black felt embarrassed. He hesitated for a moment and took back his right leg that had already stepped onto the threshold, "This, this, since it's inconvenient for you, I won't bother you. "
"Hey, hey, don't go, don't go," Datou waved to him hurriedly, "Since you're here, come in and have a drink."
"No, no, no, no more trouble, no more trouble." The old man in black waved his hands nervously.
"I'll let you in!" Datou raised his voice.
The intimidation in Datou's words was very obvious. The old man in black had no choice but to carefully cross the threshold and stand at the door, laughing awkwardly.
Although Datou left the old man in black behind, he didn't see anything unusual about him, and the same was true for Yang Kai and others. At this time, everyone on his side was looking at Chang Sheng, waiting for him to speak.
"Who are you?" Changsheng looked directly at the old man in black.
As soon as Changsheng opened his mouth, the old man in black was so frightened that he trembled all over. After a moment of hesitation, he bent down and handed over his hands, with a shy face to apologize, "I don't tell lies in front of real people. I'm not...this, if I said it, how could these uncles say it?" Don’t be afraid.”
Datou and others were not afraid at first, but after hearing what he said, they couldn't help but become nervous. Everyone was wearing blood spirit beads. Blood spirit beads can channel spirits and see ghosts. Could it be that the old man in black is a ghost?
I had doubts in my heart, so I took a closer look. It didn't matter. I was instantly frightened and my scalp was numb. The black clothes worn by the old man in black turned out to be a shroud that only the dead would wear.
However, if you look closely, there is something wrong. There is a bonfire in the main room at this time. The old man in black has a shadow under the firelight. If there is a shadow, it is naturally not a ghost.
Among the people, only Chang Sheng knew Taoism. After Shi Xuanming obtained the Notes on Conquering Demons, he also learned the Buddhist magical powers to subjugate demons. However, Buddhist magical powers require the activation of seals and spells. With the pinching of the seals, the Third Eye opens, and Shi Xuanming He also saw the person’s true form, “It turned out to be a weasel.”
Datou and others were originally very nervous, but after hearing what Shi Xuanming said, they relaxed. Most of the time, what people fear is just the unknown. Once they know what the other person is, they are no longer afraid.
Hearing Shi Xuanming's words, the old man in black became more and more nervous. He hurriedly raised his hands and said, "Master, his eyes are as bright as a torch and he can see everything clearly. Although the old man is a stranger, he has no ill intentions. He just smelled the aroma of wine and couldn't hold it back, so he had the courage to come here." Asking for a bowl of wine."
Not knowing what Changsheng wanted to do with this weasel, Datou turned to look at Changsheng, "Your Majesty?"
Changsheng did not express his position immediately, but looked at the old man in black up and down again. It is reasonable to say that the eyes of aliens would be introverted, but the eyes of this weasel were very turbid. This shows that this man lacks energy and lacks vitality. damage.
Confirming that it was just greedy for wine and not evil-minded, Changsheng nodded to Datou and walked aside to continue sorting out the medicines he had purchased earlier.
Everyone is curious, and Datou is no exception. Knowing that the old man in front of him is a weasel, Datou is quite curious about him. After getting the approval of immortality, he waved to him, "Come, sit down and have a drink. .”
The identity of the old man in black was exposed. He was nervous and trembling, and did not dare to step forward.
"Don't worry, we won't make it difficult for you," Datou waved at him again, "Come here quickly."
The big head waved one after another, and then the old man in black came to the fire uneasily. Everyone was drinking from pottery bowls they had purchased temporarily. The big head poured a bowl of wine and handed it to it. The old man in black took it with both hands and thanked him repeatedly. He was too excited. , his hands were shaking involuntarily, for fear of spilling the wine, he hurriedly brought it to his lips, took a sip first, then drank it all, closed his eyes and thought, "Good wine, really good wine, I haven't had such a good drink in many years." Drinking."
After saying this, the old man in black opened his eyes, handed the pottery bowl back to the big head, and then thanked everyone again, "Thank you sir, thank you so much, miss. Sorry for bothering you, sorry for bothering you."
Seeing the old man in black turning around and wanting to leave, Datou hurriedly called out to him, "Don't leave in a hurry. It's fate that we met. Drink more and leave after you've had enough."
"Why is this so embarrassing?" The old man in black smiled in embarrassment.
Everyone likes to hear good words, without exception. The old man in black thanked the girl, which made Yu Yiduo feel emotional, and handed the braised chicken that he had not finished eating to her, "Aliens have magical powers, how can you To end up like this?"
Seeing Yu Yi hand over the braised chicken, the old man in black was very moved and hurriedly took it with both hands, "Thank you girl, thank you girl, alas, it's a long story."
"Don't worry, let's eat something first." Yang Kai said.
Seeing Yang Kai speak, Datou and others were quite surprised, because Yang Kai seldom spoke on weekdays, not because he was pretending to be deep, but because the tragic situation in his early years made his temperament very gloomy. Unless it was really necessary, he usually didn't Open your mouth.
Although Da Tou and others didn't know why, Chang Sheng knew why Yang Kai was very friendly to this weasel, because the down-and-out old man transformed by the weasel made him emotional and reminded him of his late master Gu Yan.
The weasel was flattered and thanked him again. Then he sat down by the fire at the urging of several people. He was obviously hungry for a long time and devoured the food. After a while, not even the bones of a braised chicken were left.
Datou immediately poured a bowl of wine for it, and Yang Kai handed it a piece of braised meat. Perhaps it had not been treated well by others for a long time, and the weasel was crying and crying while drinking and eating meat.
The reason why Datou kept it was not out of kindness, but because he was very curious about the alien beings and wanted to find out the details and find out its details. Now that he saw that it was in a miserable situation and was friendly and polite, he gradually developed a heart of compassion. "Do you have a name?"
"Let me ask you back. When I was in my prime, they all called me Huang Silang." Weasel said.
"Huang Silang, Weasel, hey, that's a good name, it's very appropriate, and it sounds nice." Big Tou said with a smile.
"Ashamed, ashamed." Huang Silang nodded and smiled, then continued to eat the braised pork.
"You don't even know who we are, how dare you lean on us?" Big Head said.
Huang Silang sighed and shook his head, "Oh, these uncles are very heroic, and they are not ordinary people at first glance. If it were not for the greed of this cup, coupled with the unbearable hunger in the belly, I would not dare to step forward rashly."
"How many years have you been practicing?" Datou asked again.
"I can't remember exactly how many years ago, but I already had spiritual consciousness when Wang Mang usurped the throne." Huang Silang said.
"Oh, after all, you have been practicing Taoism for a thousand years." Datou said.
"I think so." Huang Silang nodded.
Datou poured another bowl of wine for Huang Silang, "Thousand-year-old Taoism should be very powerful. How did you become such a virtuous person?"
"Don't rush to ask questions first, let it eat until it's full." Yang Kai said.
Datou nodded, but he was really curious. Before Huang Silang finished chewing the piece of braised pork, he couldn't help but ask, "You should have the inner elixir after practicing for a thousand years. Your eyes are dull and your breath is weak. Is the inner elixir gone?"
"My uncle has a keen eye. He was tricked by a traitor a few years ago and his inner elixir was stolen." Huang Silang was very depressed.
Datou smiled and said, "That thing is your lifeblood. You can let others steal such an important thing. You are really weird."
Huang Silang looked sad and did not answer.
Datou added, "Wine is very rare these days, so it's normal that you can't get it, but why are you so hungry? Aren't there rats, rabbits, snakes, and worms in the mountains? Why don't you show your true colors and catch them to feed yourself?"
"I don't know something," Huang Silang shook his head and said, "I'm old, my body is old, and my energy is weak after losing the inner elixir. Even if I show up in the body of an animal, I can't chase and prey. I can only do evil things in order to survive. To make a living, find some burial belongings from the graves that can be easily exchanged for food, so that you can survive and survive."
"Shouldn't there be a lot of belongings in the grave? Since you know how to dig holes, it stands to reason that your life should not be difficult." Datou said.
"You are joking, uncle," Huang Silang stuffed the braised pork in his hand into his mouth and said while chewing, "Anton is far away from the Middle Earth. It is a barbaric land. There are not many wealthy families. To say the least, even if there are , that tomb is also very solidly built, even if it is piled with stones and bricks, I can’t even dig it out.”
While Da Tou and Huang Silang were talking, Chang Sheng had been busy in the distance. He heard everything Huang Silang said. In fact, it was not only Da Tou and others who were curious about the aliens who could transform into human forms, he was also the same.
Datou asked around, asking whether Huang Silang had any family members, and then asked what skills Huang Silang had, or whether he had been given trouble by monks and Taoists who knew magic. At first, Huang Silang seemed extremely reserved and could wait to drink. When he got up, he saw that everyone was really friendly to him, so he gradually relaxed and talked a lot more.
Huang Silang made a friend in his early years, a drinking buddy to be precise. His drinking buddy was a treasurer. The so-called treasurer was the clerk who guarded the government bank. This man had a good drinking capacity. He thought he had met a close friend, so he met him. Treat each other with sincerity and talk about friendship as brothers.
There is a strange thing about Huang Silang's inner elixir, which can detoxify and clear away miasma, calm panic and exorcise evil spirits. This treasurer always guards against himself. After being discovered by the governor, in order to atone for his crime, he tried to get Huang Silang drunk while he was drunk. Coaxed it to spit out its inner elixir, and then gave its inner elixir as a gift to Governor Anton...
