Qin Bai's expression became serious, but he didn't notice anything strange, and then doubt appeared on his face.
According to the horror movie formula, a figure appears in the window, which must be an evil spirit.
If it had been before he had mastered his spiritual thoughts, he would have gone up with just one hammer.
Qin Bai checked it carefully again. Not to mention the smell of demons, there was even an exorcism charm in the house.
He shouted several times and waited at the door of the store for a long time, but the old man still ignored him.
Qin Baiyou did not choose to break open the door and go in, but turned around and left.
Usually he convinces people with his virtue.
Moreover, judging from the situation of this store, there must be something hidden in it. Maybe asking Geng Xian can get some information.
When Qin Bai returned to the mansion, Chen Jinwen and others were arranging a drama, performing the plot of A Chinese Ghost Story.
Geng Xian was sitting in a pavilion not far away, eating peanuts and watching the show with great interest, and was amazed.
Qin Bai came to sit next to him and asked, "Master Geng, is this drama okay?"
Geng Xian hesitated and said: "It's indeed good. Just now, several actors also acted in The Legend of White Snake. This play is indeed the signature of Deyun Society, but..."
"What's wrong?"
"Don't be upset. The Legend of White Snake is so famous that it has been brought to the capital a long time ago. Now there are similar ones in all major theaters."
Qin Bai was not surprised when he heard it. There was no intellectual copyright in ancient times, and even barbecues could be passed on, let alone dramas that were famous in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
Now it's just a choreography exercise. When the props are used on stage, there will be a decisive gap between the original and the pirated version.
Now Qin Bai just wants to get Deyun Club to open as soon as possible, otherwise the daily points income will be greatly reduced.
The points earned by theaters as far away as Hangzhou are far less than before.
Now we can only rest on our laurels in a short period of time. The reasons are various. First of all, the main actors have been replaced, and the new actors need to grow up.
In addition, new plays would be on stage every three to five.
Qin Bai was able to tell Niu Fuyun the script through the messenger spell, but they couldn't solve the demon problem at all.
Thinking of this, he asked: "Master Geng, do you know about that dilapidated shop west of the inner city gate?"
Geng Xian had some surprise on his face. He didn't expect that Qin Bai's idea of opening a theater had not disappeared. Instead, he paid special attention to it.
He said in embarrassment: "The shopkeeper of that shop knows me, and he is not a powerful person, but it is a bit difficult to buy it."
Qin Bai thought of the old man's strange appearance and couldn't help but asked curiously: "Is there something hidden in it?"
"His name is Li Maochun. Although he is old, he has a son in his old age. He was originally an official in Xianju County, and he is quite famous."
Geng Xian couldn't help but straighten his back when he said this. He said with a little fear in his tone: "Li Maochun's wife suddenly disappeared eighteen or nineteen years ago. She just gave birth to a child at that time..."
"It is said to be related to a case of Mr. Bao Zheng. If you want to check the file, I can help you find it."
Qin Bai's soul as a famous detective burned, and he asked curiously: "Did Mr. Bao Zheng solve the case?"
Geng Xian smiled bitterly and said: "There is no way to solve the case, otherwise Li Maochun would not have gone crazy. He looks like a monster no matter who he looks at now..."
"So the case at that time was related to demons?"
Geng Xian obviously didn't want to talk more: "I don't know. When the time comes, I will find the file and you can read it yourself."
Qin Bai nodded. He also had some doubts about Li Maochun. If a demon really appeared twenty years ago, many people would have died there. How could there be no news at all.
After thinking for a moment, he left the Geng Mansion, intending to talk to Li Maochun. If there was a demon, he would just leave it to a professional like himself.
It only took Qin Bai a moment to arrive in front of the dilapidated shop again.
He spotted Li Maochun from a distance by the window, observing the passers-by on the road. His nervous appearance did not seem normal.
"Uncle, I am really sent by the community. My main purpose is to care for the elderly. Please open the door, uncle."
What Qin Bai didn't expect was that his smooth nonsense actually caused Li Maochun to actually go downstairs and quickly walk to the door.
"I can see that you are not a monster. If you don't want to die, leave the capital..." A hoarse voice came from behind the door, like a wooden saw pulling.
Qin Bai was a little surprised. What did the old man base this on? To be honest, he was more like a demon.
Dong dong dong...
Knocked on the door again, and then Li Maochun opened a crack, revealing his gloomy eyes.
Qin Bai said sincerely: "I know Mr. Geng Xian, mainly because I want to rent your shop as a theater."
"Theatre?"
Li Maochun snorted coldly. He was about to close the door but saw that the gap was blocked by Qin Bai with his palm.
"Have you seen any traces of demons? I'm more or less..."
"Just listen to me and leave the capital."
Seeing that the door could not be closed, Li Maochun opened it directly and walked out. He also held a sharp long knife in his hand.
Qin Bai's eyes fell on the old man's arm. The exposed skin was covered with scars, most of which were old.
"Stay away, otherwise you will be targeted by the demon sooner or later."
Li Maochun raised his long knife threateningly, but unfortunately he was just a wizened old man, so not many people could be frightened by him.
"What do you mean by a demon? In fact, I don't know anything about it. I am a monk with profound Taoism."
"Hehehehe..."
Li Maochun let out a horrifying laugh. He looked around and said, "What if I say that twenty-three out of ten people in this capital have become monsters?"
Qin Bai felt that he was not lying, and his pupils suddenly shrank, but then he thought that he was an old man with abnormal mental state, and he was no longer nervous.
"Taoism?" Li Maochun continued mockingly: "Even the Taoist priests around the emperor can't detect demons. With your Taoism..."
Qin Bai took a deep breath before he could finish his words.
The skin on the chest and abdomen was slightly silvery, and a large amount of air was compressed into the lungs, and then enveloped in energy.
Then Qin Bai spit into the sky, and strong wind roared out from his mouth, completely smashing the clouds above his head into pieces.
Then I just heard him continue: "My father-in-law, don't sell the land deed to me for now. If there is really a demon, wait until I kill it."
Li Maochun opened his mouth wide. He suddenly realized something. Regardless of whether the man in front of him was really a Taoist priest, his ability was definitely extraordinary.
I'm afraid this is one of the few opportunities he has to find that demon out of the capital! ! !
"You...you said you want to find a shop to use as a theater?"
Qin Bai knew there was something going on, but he still couldn't finish the words: "That's right, if it's not convenient for me, I will move to another place."
"So be it."
Li Maochun nodded and agreed, and even greeted Qin Bai into the house.
