This demon king has to offer [Rebirth]

Yingxian Pavilion, in the lobby.

There are a lot of people here, and the business is booming.Guests come and go, and there is an endless stream of people who come here to listen to books and sing songs.

Gu Yubai sat across from each other, enjoying this delicacy called "Immortal Hand", but he couldn't put down his chopsticks.

This fairy hand, as the name suggests, looks like a hand, a plump baby-like round hand, together with a small half of the arm, standing straight on the plate in a daze, with a lifelike image and a unique style.

"Little Er, come here, come here!" Gu Yu waved to the guy standing in front of the counter who was cleaning the table and doing chores.

The waiter walked to the table, glanced at the two and said, "Guest officer, what else do you need?"

Gu Yu pulled Xiaoer's sleeve, and got closer to himself, saying: "I just want to ask, what is your term "fairy hand"? Is it possible that it was named because it resembles a hand? Why? Don't call it a child's hand, what about a baby's hand?"

"The two guest officers should be here for the first time!" Xiao Er glanced at the two of them left and right, grabbed a stool beside him and sat down. "The two of you don't know something. Walking up from the road in front of our door, there is a temple on the mountainside called Qingquan Temple, which enshrines the Nine Heavens Holy Mother and Buddha. In front of the palace where the Holy Mother and Buddha are enshrined is a large The incense ash well, people come to burn incense and worship Buddha, and there is an endless stream of people who worship and pray every day. That is to say, strange things happen frequently, so it is deserted. Speaking of this incense ash well..."

"Xiao Er, pay the bill!" Just as the Xiao Er was talking about the excitement, he was summoned by other people who came to drink and wanted to pay the bill.Here Gu Yu glanced at Bai Rang, and happened to bump into Bai Rang's gaze.

"Brother Bai... how about we try this 'fairy hand'?" Gu Yu picked up the chopsticks and poked at the hand in front of him. Beat it to the side.

"Hey, brother Bai, if you don't eat, I can't eat!" Gu Yu looked dissatisfied.

"Listen to him before eating." Bai Rangfu put down his chopsticks again.

Gu Yu had no choice but to put his chopsticks aside and looked around. At the moment, the storyteller in the lobby next door was speaking with emotion and spitting.He only heard him say: "It is rumored that the immortal concubine of Cen Fangqin, the only biological son of His Royal Highness, Shen Yuzhuang, who died in the fairy world, is Shen Yuzhuang and has an old lover. Who do you think this person is?"

The crowd shook their heads.

"It's actually Bai Rang, His Highness God of War..."

Gu Yu: "..."

Bai Rang: "..."

Gu Yu thought in his heart: Damn!Can you talk like that?

I only heard someone echoing next to me:

"What? Is that His Royal Highness the God of War who is physically and mentally strong?"

"Isn't he suffering from a hidden disease?"

"Listen to me, it's His Highness the God of War, Bai Rang, the head disciple of Penglai Ling Mountain, Bai Xianchen." The storyteller continued.

"Really? That Bai Rang is an old god who has been cultivating for hundreds of years. How did you, an ordinary person, hear about this old story! Besides, hasn't Cen Fangqin been dead for hundreds of years?"

"Yes!"

"That's right! How do you know?"

"It's not that I can spy on the secrets of heaven, but I know a person who is also a person who seeks immortality. He said that these things are widely circulated in the world of cultivating immortals, and it is not a secret. Besides, we have practiced seal seals for generations. The civil servants of the unofficial history of the Immortal Mansion, it’s just a matter of a hundred years, and it’s not going to disappear." Mr. Storyteller explained.

"Then what happened to Bai Xianchen and Shen Yuzhuang?"

"That's right, didn't it mean that Shen Yuzhuang died for love and followed Cen Fang to invade?"

"That's right, how did I hear that although this Cen Fangqin has a bad reputation, his fairy wife is absolutely loyal to him!"

"You say that everyone knows these things, but I'm talking about something you've never heard of." The storyteller continued.

"Then you say it, you say it."

"It starts with the moment when Bai Qianchen was wiped out after Shen Yuzhuang's death. Back then, Mrs. Cen killed his own son Cen Fangjin personally. It was rumored that Shen Yuzhuang fell in love with him, but in fact it was not. Who would fall in love with such behavior? Duan. In the beginning, Shen Qinghu arranged the marriage and betrothal all by himself, so he never asked his daughter's opinion. This Shen Yuzhuang had cried to her father many times because of the marriage, but it was a pity that she failed. After Cen Fangtao died, Shen Yuzhuang But he died for no apparent reason, are you surprised?"

"After Shen Yuzhuang's death, Bai Xianchen went crazy. It is said that in the end, he disappeared and went with that Shen Yuzhuang. I said they had an affair, and there is proof. Shen Yuzhuang had always treasured a The jade pendant was a gift from that Bai Xianchen, with the word Chen engraved on it, she held it tightly in her hand after she died, but she couldn't break it off no matter what..."

……

……

Gu Yu and Bai Rang heard it for real!Relatively speechless!

Gu Yu knew something about Bai Xianchen, but what he knew didn't seem to be quite the same as any version of the rumors.

In a blink of an eye, the little girl was idle again, and was called to their table by Gu Yu.But his eyes were attracted by the not-so-small pieces of silver that Bai Rang had just placed on the table.

"Tell me more about what happened just now, this silver is yours." Bai Rang continued.

"Hey, good guest officer, just listen to me. But, just... where did I say it?" Xiao Er looked at Bai Rang embarrassedly.

Bai Rang said, "Xianghui Well."

Xiaoer said: "Yes, the incense ash well, the origin of this fairy hand is in this incense ash well. It is said that this incense ash well is a hundred steps long and forty or fifty steps wide."

"So big?" Gu Yu was surprised!

"Isn't that right? This Qingquan Temple is famous far and wide. Countless people burn incense and worship Buddha every day. Although the incense ash well is so big, it usually needs to be cleaned every less than half a month. The incense is very prosperous!"

"But, what does this have to do with your dish?" Gu Yu looked puzzled.

"One morning a few years ago, a villager had just made a wish and burned incense. Suddenly, through the smoky incense ash well, he vaguely saw a hand standing behind the stick of incense on him. Standing there in a daze, the posture of the god and Buddha is exactly the same. At first, the villager was taken aback by this strange situation, thinking that he had encountered some kind of magic obstacle. He panicked and went home as if fleeing. But The strange thing is that this person quickly made his way to the top, from a commoner to an official of the imperial court." Then the waiter in the shop said that he was extremely thirsty, so he poured himself a cup of tea and drank it clean.

Gu Yubai glanced at each other, then turned to look at the waiter in the shop.

The waiter in the shop cleared his voice and continued, "Do you know what the villager made at the side of the incense ash well?"

"If I'm not wrong, it should be something like being an official and getting rich!" Gu Yu said.

"You guessed it right! The villager's wish at the beginning was to get a gold medal in the scientific examination next month, so that he could get rid of this poverty." Xiaoer continued.

"So it came true, right? Is this due to the hand he saw at the incense ash well?" Gu Yu continued to ask.

"It's the hand of a fairy, don't you understand, it's the gods who bless you to get promoted and get rich! Hehe..." As he spoke, the little girl grabbed the broken piece of silver on the table and stuffed it into his sleeve, with a happy smile on his face, he turned around and went want to go.

"Hey, buddy, wait a minute, let me ask you again, have other people who went to burn incense and worship Buddha seen this fairy hand?" Gu Yu asked again while pulling Xiao Er's sleeve.

The errand turned his head and threw a sentence: "Naturally, this fairy hand represents good fortune and good luck. He definitely won't be the only one who met it, but that's all I know!" As he said, the errand walked towards At the counter, I took a rag and started to wipe the table, off to work!

Gu Yu and Bai Rang looked at the dish again, Gu Yu didn't want to eat it in a hurry this time, he looked up at Bai Rang and said, "Brother Bai, you said that the matter of the hand of the gods is true. True or false? Could it be that there was no such thing at all, and it was just a nonsense story made up by their local people in order to gather foreign guests!", he is an old fairy, he can't believe it no matter what, there really is Purdue sentient beings, let mortals get their wishes "fairy hand"!

This is not very magical, but very weird!

"Whether there is, you will know when you go up!" Bai Rang poured a glass of wine and drank it down.

"Then—, this dish—do we still want to eat it?" Gu Yu poked the finger with chopsticks a few times, and it felt soft and elastic. His arm suddenly fell from the plate towards Bai Rang, and two of his fingers were broken.

Depend on--

"Hehehe, hehehe... Looking at this hand, it looks like the real thing, it's so fragile, hehe..."

Bai Rang's expression changed from the panic when he saw his broken finger just now to a look of disgust towards Gu Yu at this moment!He glanced sideways at him and said nothing.

Gu Yu looked at the "fairy hand" with a broken finger and said to himself again: "Unexpectedly, the people here have such a unique taste. Since it is a fairy hand that can pray for good luck, why do they have to eat it?" It!" Then he turned his head and looked at the guests at the next table, who were enjoying the dish with relish, eating one finger, then the second finger, and then three fingers...

tsk tsk tsk...

Gu Yu pursed his lips and shook his head, and quickly put down the chopsticks. Now that he is so isolated, he really doesn't understand why he suddenly wanted to try it just now.

"There is a custom here, that is, anything that can bring good luck can be made into its shape and eaten. It means to add blessing to the body." Bai Rang said.

"Is there such a thing? Doesn't it mean that this Buddha statue will also be made into white flour steamed buns, one bite at a time..."

"Yes, there is indeed such a thing!" Bai Rang continued.

"..."

If you don't come here in person, the gods and Buddhas who are enshrined in incense may never know, and one day they may be eaten because of the strange customs of the place.What morals?

"Bai Rang, did you find a problem?" Gu Yu asked.

"Are you trying to say that this town doesn't seem to be disturbed by ghosts?" Bai Rang asked.In fact, this is also a question in his mind.Could it be because of the daytime?Or—wrong place?

In fact, Gu Yu had come here a few days ago to understand some side details, but it was not very clear, but he knew something was going to happen.Afterwards, he added more oil and vinegar and asked someone to arrange some other things, so this was the rhetoric he said at the Lingshan Banquet Hall yesterday.

At least...the time was successfully won.

Gu Yu went on to say: "Yes, yes, so you have discovered it too! Look at them, they are calm and quiet. Those who are open are open, those who go shopping, those who set up stalls, only at night..." Only at night is there a slight difference.

"You heard that too?" Bai Rang asked.

"Brother Bai heard it too, I thought I was hallucinating, ha ha ha..." Gu Yu smiled awkwardly.

"Is it you who lived next door last night?" Bai Rang asked.

"Hehehe, I swear, Brother Bai, I never knew you lived there. I only knew that you came to Qingquan Temple and followed you here when you had nothing to do. How could it be such a coincidence... Hehehehe ..." Gu Yu picked up the wine glass and drank the remaining wine in it, trying to suppress a little bit of embarrassment.

Bai Rang didn't say a word.

"Then——Brother Bai, when shall we go up the mountain?" Gu Yu thought, isn't Bai Rang anxious to investigate?Why don't you move.This investigation looks like an investigation, isn't it!

By the way, change the subject.

"It's too late to go up today, the sun is already high, we will get up early tomorrow morning and go." Bai Rang took out the money and put it on the table, got up and prepared to leave.

Seeing the momentum, Gu Yu got up in the same way. As soon as the two of them arrived in the downtown area, Gu Yu was bumped by a little boy who was running towards him, and almost fell. Fortunately, he grabbed Bai Rang who was standing next to him, and managed to stabilize his posture.

The little boy was running and talking nonsense: "Don't catch me! Don't catch me!"

But Gu Yu grabbed Bai Rang's arm and forgot to let go for a while, until he saw Bai Rang's eyes cast over him, he realized it and quickly let go.
