Liu Deshui said quietly: "Qiande Funeral Supplies Store!"
Qiande Funeral Products Store? Obviously, this is a place that sells things related to the dead.
"Master Liu, I don't quite understand what you mean. Why do you say that my master must have been to this 'Qian De Funeral Products Store'?"
I expressed my doubts.
Liu Deshui smiled and said, "Brother Yang, it seems that you have never been to Xichuan City. Xichuan City, like your Jiangbin City, has many ghost-catching Taoist priests. And this Qiande Funeral Supplies Store is not just a store that sells funeral supplies. It also has some information about the industry."
"It can be said that most of the ghost-catching masters in the ghost-catching Taoist profession who want to know some news or inside information will go back to this 'Qian De Funeral Supplies Store' to inquire about the news."
When I heard this, I was delighted.
This means that my master Jiang Jiuzhen may have been to the "Qian De Funeral Supplies Store".
This news is too important to me. If I can get the news about Jiang Jiuzhen there, I won't have to look for that Kong Wenbin.
However, what I didn’t expect was that Liu Deshui later told me that the owner of this “Qian De Funeral Supplies Store” was named Kong Wenbin.
Holy shit, I never thought that the lecherous old man who pursued Lou Xiaoman and Master Lou actually opened such an awesome store.
But it doesn't matter. I just went there to get some information. Other things have nothing to do with me.
On the train, Liu Deshui and I had a great chat. When the dining car came, I ordered a dozen cans of beer and a few small bottles of white wine, as well as chicken feet, red sausage and so on.
The two of us chatted while eating and drinking.
During this time, Sun Xiaoli and Sun Yaowen also woke up and ate a little. They were also surprised when they found me drinking with a stranger.
I found that Liu Deshui is a really nice person and worth making friends with.
Liu Deshui's face turned red after drinking. His originally yellowish and pale face turned red after drinking, and his eyeballs also turned red.
This is quite scary. But despite this, this guy is quite a drinker. He drank nearly one and a half kilograms of liquor and nearly five cans of beer by himself.
However, Liu Deshui is like two completely different people when he is not drinking and when he is drinking.
After drinking, he almost told me his bank card password. This guy is really interesting.
After three rounds of drinks, we both fell asleep leaning back in our seats.
The next morning, the train arrived in Xichuan City.
When Sun Xiaoli pushed me awake, there was no trace of Liu Deshui.
I thought that guy had fooled me yesterday and had run away. When I asked Sun Xiaoli, I found out that Liu Deshui had gone to the toilet.
What’s even funnier is that Sun Xiaoli secretly told me that Liu Deshui drank too much last night and couldn’t hold it in the morning, so he wet his pants.
I laughed for a long time and ran to the toilet.
Don’t mention it, when I got to the toilet, I happened to see Liu Deshui coming out of it.
When he saw me, Liu Deshui felt a little embarrassed.
He smiled awkwardly and said, "Brother Yang, I'm sorry for last night. Please don't laugh at me. I like to drink, and after drinking, I like to talk nonsense... This morning, I even wet my pants. It was really embarrassing."
I chuckled and said, "It's okay, Master Liu. I'm a sentimental person, so how could I laugh at you? But, you said yesterday that you would take me to the Qiande Funeral Supplies Store. You haven't forgotten that, have you?"
Liu Deshui said hurriedly: "I didn't forget, don't worry, we will get off the car together later, and I will take you there directly. Anyway, I slept well last night, so there is no need to find a place to rest."
I smiled and said, "That's great, thank you Master Liu!"
After saying this, I pushed the door open and went into the bathroom. I couldn't hold it in any longer.
More than twenty minutes later, the train arrived at Xichuan Railway Station.
After getting off the bus, Liu Deshui kept walking with us.
He also carried a cloth bag on his back, which was bulging with a lot of magical instruments, talismans and other things.
"Let's go, Brother Yang. Qiande Funeral Supplies Store is not too far from here. It only takes an hour to drive there."
I said, "Okay, let's take a taxi there."
Unexpectedly, Liu Deshui waved his hand and said, "No need to take a taxi, my driver will be here soon. I have already called before."
"driver?"
Sun Yaowen stood aside and asked in surprise: "Master Liu, are you saying that you have a dedicated driver?"
Liu Deshui said with a smile: "Hehe, you may think that my outfit is a bit shabby, and I even ate instant noodles on the train, but I am a ghost catcher after all. I can just sell some things I got from ghosts in the ghost market, and that's enough."
Sun Yaowen naturally didn't understand that we ghost-catching Taoist priests made money.
I smiled and said, "Uncle Sun, you are surprised by this. In fact, we ghost-catching Taoist priests are quite wealthy. Of course, it is all hard-earned money. After all, this business is not easy to make and is also dangerous."
Liu Deshui continued, "That makes sense. We all earn our money through hard work. This time, I went out and caught an evil ghost, and I received 80,000 yuan from my employer."
Sun Xiaoli stood beside me, winked at me, and asked me with a smile: "Brother Tianyi, I heard from Master Liu that he is very rich. You are also a ghost-catching Taoist priest. Why do you look so poor and still rent an apartment?"
I smiled awkwardly and said, "Some people like money, some people don't like money. I might be the type of person who doesn't like money very much."
Sun Xiaoli pouted, said, "I don't believe it!"
Liu Deshui and I both laughed.
Soon, a silver-gray Maserati sedan stopped in front of us.
This car looks grand and classy. Although I don't know much about cars, I can tell from the decoration and appearance that it is a luxurious and high-end car.
The driver was a middle-aged man who looked very calm. When he got out of the car, he politely welcomed us into the car.
When I saw this car, I smacked my lips and was a little envious.
Liu Deshui is really a hidden talent! He may be what the Internet calls a hidden rich man.
However, it is quite strange that rich people love instant noodles.
Soon, the car was on the road.
We chatted on the way and time passed quickly.
Soon, we arrived at a street west of Xichuan City.
At the end of the street, I saw the "Qian De Funeral Supplies Store".
The decoration of the store is very ordinary, even a little rustic. But many people come in and out of the store to buy funeral supplies.
I thought about it and it made sense. Ghost Festival is coming soon, so many people naturally need to buy some funeral items to worship their ancestors and relatives.
But at the door of Qiande Funeral Supplies Store, I saw an old man.
The old man was wearing a grey coat and had jet black hair, which must have been dyed. His face was shiny and oily, and I don't know what skin care products he used. He looked smooth and shiny.
However, I also noticed that the old man was pulling a woman in her thirties and standing in front of the door to read her palms.
From time to time, his fingers drew circles in the palm of the young woman's hand, making the young woman giggle.
When Liu Deshui saw me staring at the old man, he smiled and said, "No need to look, that old man is Kong Wenbin!"
"That old man is a perverted old man who likes to read the palms of young girls and young women. Although he is not very good at Taoism, he is very good at reading palms and often invites young women to read with him.
I went to eat, and I don’t know how many times I was beaten by her husband. But she never learned her lesson.”
When I heard this, I laughed so hard that my stomach hurt.
Soon, the driver parked the car and we got out.
When I walked to the door of "Qian De Funeral Supplies Store", I could still hear Kong Wenbin standing there talking.
"I can tell from your palm that you have good fortune. Look, the life line on your palm extends to the 'earth hill', which means a long life. Also, your love line and wisdom line cross each other, which means you will meet someone who is both emotional and wise."
"... But, although this person is a little older, he is your lucky star. In the future, you and this person will definitely develop an inseparable, moving, and inspiring relationship."
The young woman was also smart. She asked Kong Wenbin, "Master Kong, the lucky star you are talking about, could it be you?"
Kong Wenbin's face turned red, but he pretended to be serious and said, "Don't say it, don't say it! This kind of thing can't be revealed casually. As the saying goes, the secret of heaven cannot be leaked."
"Of course, it could be me!"
Having said that, Kong Wenbin still didn't care about his old face and smiled secretly.
The young woman wanted to take her hand back, but Kong Wenbin quickly grabbed it again, rubbed it a few times, and said, "Palmistry is not something that can be understood immediately. It is a very profound knowledge."
"Look at the 'villain lines' and 'fame lines' on your palm. They are very disordered. This means that you may encounter a villain in the future. In other words, this villain may cause your family to lose both money and property."
When the young woman heard this, she seemed to be unconvinced, but still asked nervously: "Master Kong, is there any way to crack it?"
Kong Wenbin then let go of the young woman's hand, holding his chin with his right hand, looking thoughtful.
Seeing that Kong Wenbin didn't say anything, the young woman hurriedly urged, "Master Kong, you must help me. Money and other things are easy to talk about."
Kong Wenbin put down his hand, shook his head and said, "I, Kong Wenbin, don't care about money when I help people. After all, this kind of thing will accumulate good karma. But your palm lines are too complicated, and I can't study them thoroughly at once... How about this, let's meet again another day, and I'll help you take a look."
The young woman was frightened by Kong Wenbin's words and nodded quickly, saying, "Okay, okay, I'll listen to Master Kong!"
And just at this moment, we came to Kong Wenbin.
Liu Deshui yelled for no reason, "Old Kong, you are so old now, just do something serious. If you like to read palms, you can go to the nursing home and ask those old men and women to read them. Don't always pick beautiful women, or you will be beaten to death by their husbands."
When Kong Wenbin heard this, his face drooped immediately.
But after seeing that it was Liu Deshui, he smiled knowingly and said, "I was wondering who it was, it turned out to be Liu, how come you had time to come to my place?"
Liu Deshui ignored Kong Wenbin, but walked up to the young woman and whispered, "Go home quickly, don't let this old movie deceive you emotionally and sexually."
The young woman was still a little hesitant. Liu Deshui curled his lips and said nothing more.
At this time, Kong Wenbin hurriedly said to the young woman: "You go back first and come back another day. Then I will help you take a closer look."
The young woman looked at Liu Deshui, then at Kong Wenbin, and finally turned and left.
When I left, I noticed that the young woman was still staring at her palm with her head tilted. I thought to myself, it seems that she believed Kong Wenbin's words.
But Kong Wenbin's eyes suddenly fixed on Sun Xiaoli who was next to me.
I noticed that there was a gleam in his eyes.
Damn it, this old guy is still a pervert!
