Qing has seen a lot of strange things, and she has also killed many strange people.
However, in this environment, she had no interest in being a loyal guard dog.
She treated all this indifferently and kept a calm mind.
Gou Xin said that he had been touched on the head by an immortal.
During the boring hospitalization period which was similar to being in prison, Gou Xin would recite a poem silently by himself many late nights.
"After the chaos and separation, the grace of heaven flows to Yelang, recalling the old days, writing this poem to present to Wei Taishou Liangzai of Jiangxia",
certainly,
He only recited the first two lines:
There is a White Jade Palace in the sky, with twelve towers and five cities.
The immortal stroked my head and gave me eternal life.
Qing thought that it was a good thing that the line "The immortal stroked my head" appeared at the beginning, otherwise, with Gou Xin's IQ, it would be very difficult for him to recite such a long poem.
Now,
A dark old man,
It seemed like he came over here on purpose just to touch his head.
But it seemed as if there was an invisible force stopping the old man.
Qing remained silent on this.
Now,
She wasn't just watching the fire from the other side of the river on purpose.
Instead, he became a mortal who watched the fight between gods.
Qing wasn’t sure whether the old woman was an immortal or not, but she didn’t feel the immortal aura that she had imagined from him.
But he seemed to have a deep obsession with touching Gou Xin's head, and he would never give up until he achieved his goal.
Constantly stuck,
Raise your hands.
lay down,
Raise your hand again.
Then put it down;
No matter how great the mysterious foreshadowing is, it now gives people a very weird feeling.
And with this repetitive action, the old man's shadow began to become fainter and fainter. Finally, after raising his hand for the last time, the old man's shadow began to collapse.
Vaguely,
Qing seemed to hear an unwilling sound from the old man.
Then,
The ward returned to peace again.
Gou Xin's legs are still hung high and he is still unconscious.
Qing silently picked up the remote control and turned on the TV.
On TV,
"Prison Break" continued to play.
… …
“Crash!!!”
The toilet finally cleared.
The old Taoist took a few steps back and leaned his back against the tiled wall of the bathroom.
Tired,
It's really tiring.
And I was sweating all over.
Normally, if the toilet is clogged, it can be cleared by unclogging it a few times, but this time, for some reason, the clog was too stubborn.
The old Taoist shook his head, walked to the bathroom door, and shouted:
"Hou Za, bring me a pair of shorts."
Then,
The old Taoist took off his clothes.
Go in and take a shower.
… …
At the bar on the first floor, Lawyer An was playing poker by himself.
There is a small electric fan next to me, blowing on me at a low setting. In this early hot summer, this feeling and this wind speed are just right.
Geng Chen was not in the bookstore. In fact, Geng Chen had left the bookstore two months ago.
He said he wanted to find some new materials to make a new batch of puppets, and Lawyer An agreed with this.
Gengchen's stay in the bookstore is a supplement to the bookstore's strength;
Since Gengchen is not in the bookstore, it would be more convenient for him to take the blame for the bookstore;
It is difficult to say which benefit is greater, whether he is there or not.
The white fox silently went up to the bar at this time, its white and soft hair covering the bar. It lay there gently, with its own elegance.
Lawyer An lowered his head unceremoniously and blew a breath towards the bar.
Pointing at the white hair that was blown away by him, he said:
"Either turn into a human form or behave yourself. The boss is awake now, and he will be unhappy if there are hair all over the floor."
The white fox opened its mouth and spoke human words:
"I've never seen him unhappy before."
“The past was the past, and the present is the present.”
"Why are you so angry because of the demon pill?"
"Pfft, I feel like I'm in pretty good shape now, how about you change into a human and let's give it a try?"
Lawyer An reached out and pinched the white fox's paw.
The white fox retracted its claws
Then he said:
"I'm going out tomorrow."
"What's up?"
"There's a demon that wants to pass through here. I'm going to see it off."
"Male or female."
"vulgar."
"Male or female?"
"A man."
"Old lover?"
“Not really.”
"Just go ahead, there's no one here to restrict your freedom, and you've only been eating and not working in the bookstore for the past year anyway.
Wait,
Male
Lawyer An suddenly thought of the wild boar spirit he encountered when he was camping in the old forest in Northeast China a year ago.
The next morning, we had a barbecue of pig's head.
It was the most delicious pig head Lawyer An had ever eaten in his life.
"Don't eat it all, save some good parts to bring back. A few ghost officials from other places will be back tomorrow, so they can add some good dishes for us."
The white fox nodded.
Obviously,
Lawyer An guessed right.
"What else do you want?"
Seeing that Baihu was still lying on the bar, Lawyer An asked curiously.
"A month ago, I communicated with the foxes who stayed behind in the old forest. They told me that in the past six months, the number of foxes that have become intelligent has doubled compared to normal years."
"That's because you taught well, so the tribe will prosper."
"You are being very insincere."
I just said that I did nothing but eat for the whole year.
"Really? Sorry, I'll be more sincere next time."
"In fact, I also have a clear feeling. For example, after going out, I don't seem to be so afraid of thunder."
Hearing this, Lawyer An nodded.
The white fox's perception is actually a microcosm of the general trend.
Just as the boss had assigned him the task tonight, a new batch of land and river gods were slowly being hatched.
It seems that
It was indeed because of the hell that happened a year ago.
Because of the fluctuations and chain reactions it caused,
The effect is gradually showing.
The demons and ghosts that were suppressed before seem to have gained greater breathing rights under the sky.
It is difficult to judge whether this change is good or bad.
Because in the study, it seemed that the only living person was the old Taoist priest, and this lonesome person was about to become dead.
The rest are either dead or zombies, or zombies or monsters.
They are all beneficiaries of the general trend.
It was a long night and the little boy had not come back yet. Sleeping became a luxury. Smoking a cigarette, chatting with the white fox, and then touching him a little bit, added some romance.
This year,
Life is pretty peaceful.
But Lawyer An had a hunch.
As the boss wakes up,
This peaceful life,
It will also be gone forever.
No sadness, no loss,
Some even want to shed tears.
Finally, I have something to do!
He rubbed the white fox's soft belly with his fingers for a few times.
Lawyer An's eyes suddenly fixed.
Stand up.
The white fox slowly turned over and looked towards the door of the bookstore.
"It's okay, I'll go out and take a look."
Lawyer An comforted Baihu, picked up his cigarettes and lighter from the bar, and walked out of the bookstore.
This point,
South Street had long since become quiet.
Under the streetlight across the road,
A man stood there.
The man was quite slender, and under the dim street light, he cast a long shadow.
When Lawyer An took the initiative to walk over,
The man also took the initiative to come out.
"Wow! So flirty!"
Lawyer An was stunned for a moment.
The man in front of him was wearing a green official uniform embroidered with a dragon, official boots, and had long hair. He looked very delicate, but in his delicate look, there was also a hint of yin energy.
Yes,
Yin energy!
and,
The yellow belt tied around the man’s waist is so eye-catching!
The street lights suddenly flickered on and off.
The man's image has also changed.
He became a homeless man.
Sitting directly on the curb.
Lawyer An sat down next to him and handed him a cigarette.
They lit up a cigarette.
They blew out smoke rings together.
Lawyer An jokingly said with some envy:
"Sure, it's a yellow belt."
Feng Si smiled, touched his chin with his yellow fingers, and said, "I took advantage of my looks."
"puff."
Lawyer An sighed and said:
"So I envy people like you who can make a living by relying on your looks."
In any industry, no matter how good-looking you are, it is impossible for you to be the best.
But being good-looking can definitely help you do better than others at the same level.
Feng Si'er continued smoking without saying anything.
"The gate of hell is open?"
Feng Si'er shook his head and said, "Not yet, but soon. I came up first. This time, there are more than a thousand judges coming up together, and countless inspectors."
This is a reminder.
The return of such a large group of judges and inspectors to the world of the living must be a sign that the underworld is planning to do a major cleanup and overhaul of the system of headhunters and ghost messengers in the world of the living.
The era of the ghost detectives and constables in the mortal world who were left to their own devices during the previous era of the Ten Kings of Hell is about to end.
"Yes." Lawyer An nodded, and then added: "I will tell our boss later."
Some things,
No need to say it clearly,
It’s good that everyone knows about it.
Feng Si'er and I do have a good relationship.
But this relationship,
It's not the case that he would come here to report the news just after he came back to life.
Lawyer An reached out and patted Feng Sier on the shoulder.
road:
"How does it feel to be the judge?"
"It doesn't mean much."
It's not that I'm being modest, nor am I trying to show off.
Feng Sier added:
"I could only get a red belt, but because I'm good-looking, I jumped two levels and got a yellow belt."
You work hard.
You are excellent.
But in the end,
Your excellence and hard work cannot compare to the benefits your appearance brings you.
If even those who are good-looking find it so boring, then those who are ugly must be even more ashamed and angry, right
Lawyer An felt very sad.
It’s easy to understand,
The Nine Eunuchs could do something like blocking the Yin and Yang for a year.
Judging people purely by their appearance, promising them high positions and generous salaries,
It seems to be in line with the eunuchs' style of doing things.
At this time,
Lawyer An saw Xu Qinglang appear at the door of the bookstore. It seemed that he was planning to close the store. Seeing that Lawyer An was still sitting outside, Xu Qinglang pointed at the door lock, meaning that Lawyer An should lock the door himself later, and then turned around and went upstairs.
Lawyer An pointed to the place where Xu Qinglang had just stood.
Ask Feng Sier:
"Hey, you say, if he died now and went to hell, wouldn't he be able to rise to prominence right away?"
