Shopkeeper and God

Looking at the knife in front of him, he even questioned: "You...have you been deceived?"

Lu Xing was still shocked by those words. Hearing Cang's question again, he was about to speak when the hand holding the knife felt a splitting pain, which made his arm numb.He couldn't hold the knife for a while, let out a low cry, let go of the knife, and took two steps back.

As soon as Baochen raised his hand to support him, Lu Xing held the wrist of the hand holding the knife, his whole arm was numb and numb.And the Tang knife fell to the ground with a "buzzing" sound, obviously it was no longer the aftershock of the fall.Cang stared at the trembling knife on the ground with a sullen face, vaguely feeling that it was cursing and crying.

He suddenly felt that he had made a slip of the tongue, covered his mouth lightly, took half a step back, and said "Sorry".But the knife didn't stop, as if he didn't feel Cang's apology at all.

"What about Su Mu? Didn't you say that she traveled to the mountains and rivers?" Lu Xing's arms were still numb, and he grinned and asked gasping for air.

"But that happened after the weapons were destroyed... According to the records in the mountains, she was handed over to the military. Apart from the weapons, she felt that it was boring to be in the mountains again, so she resigned voluntarily. Although there was news of her later. , but I don’t know how many years passed without her voice. As for where she went in the end, we don’t know.” Cang probably already told all he knew, and Lu Xing knew that it might be possible to continue asking. There will be no result.The knife on the ground calmed down, and Lu Xing's hand gradually regained consciousness.

"However, I think that if you are brave, you can go to another place and ask again. After all, it is the place where souls gather." Cang made another opinion, but he said it too bluntly, and Lu Xing couldn't help but sneer. Wanting to sneer at "You're kidding", see Cang spread his hands, and said without hesitation:

"You can go to the underworld."

Sword Spirit (5)

"You can go to the underworld."

Even at dusk, the summer sun is still powerful, but the temperature in the front morning hall seems to have dropped to freezing point at this moment.Cang didn't intend to explain his opinion at all. Lu Xing looked at him with a stiff expression on his face. After a long while, he smiled instead of anger. He slightly pushed away Baochen who was supporting him, and walked forward half a step and said, "Cang My lord, you really gave me a good idea."

"How should I put it, anyway, Qi Xie is also within my jurisdiction." Cang smiled, and paused every word: "As a mountain god, I also have to give Qi Xie advice, don't I?"

Lu Xing sneered, bent down to pick up Tang Dao and put it back on his waist, but he took half a step forward, and said to Cang's ear, "If I die in the underworld, what good will Master Cang do?"

Cang didn't hide, looked at him sideways, and said, "Of course there are no benefits, but—"

"I'm happy."

His reason was so simple and straightforward that Lu Xing couldn't refute it.The young shopkeeper looked at him like a knife, but he gritted his teeth and said: "Master Cang really likes to make trouble for me."

"How can this be called trouble? Isn't it what the shopkeeper should do to complete the commission?" A triumphant smile appeared on Cang's face.Lu Xing knew that it would be useless to talk too much, so he shook his head pretending to be calm, and said, "That's really bothering the mountain god, and Lu is very grateful."

"You are so polite." Cang pretended to be unbearable and showed it to Lu Xing. Lu Xing pursed his lips tightly and was speechless. He turned around and shouted "Let's go" to Baochen, shaking his head. Without going back, he went outside the front morning hall.Cang smiled and said loudly, "Walk slowly, don't see you off", and Lu Xing almost tripped over the threshold when he went out.

No one dared to stop him with this aggressive appearance, Xi Ying stepped aside, met Bao Chen's eyes who came out from behind, and also avoided respectfully.Lu Xing, who was in a fit of anger, didn't notice this. He walked out of the mountain gate and rushed down for a while, then stopped and stomped his feet. Finally, he couldn't help but cursed: "What a fucking idea", he was so angry that he couldn't wait Only by throwing something can you relieve your hatred.

But he didn't have anything at hand that could relieve his hatred, so he put his hands on his hips and panted heavily.When Baochen followed, he hadn't recovered yet, and complained to him with a trembling voice: "Does he really want me to die this time? Is he going too far? Is he like a mountain god? There is nothing to fear ? Seeing that the city has been stable for too long, do you want to have some fun and take me to the knife? Can’t you give me some other ideas? He really dares to say it! Does he think I can’t think of this way?!” He stomped his feet, wishing he could make a hole in the ground.

Looking at him like this, Baochen knew what it meant to a living person to go to the underworld, and said, "If you don't want to, I will do it for you." It was obviously a good word, but Lu Xing suddenly turned his head and stared at him , looked sharp but didn't say a word.Baochen had never been glared at by him before, and felt a little embarrassed for a while. Before he could utter his words of persuasion, he saw a red flower like water mist blooming on the Tang knife beside Lu Xing, and his transparent and ethereal figure with light flames With a nervous look, he grabbed Lu Xing's hand and said, "Are you really going? Is there no other way?" There was even a bit of self-blame in his words.

The appearance of Qingyan undoubtedly made Lu Xing calm down a lot. Looking at Qingyan's weak figure, his voice softened again, and said, "Then, does the girl have a better way?"

Qingyan hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "But, you don't have to do this for me..." If I had known this would happen, Qingyan would not have entrusted Lu Xing.When a living person goes to the underworld, if there is a slight deviation, he will not even be able to return with his physical body. He really becomes a living dead in the underworld, and life is better than death.

Qingyan knows this kind of consequences, Baochen knows it, and Cang who said that kind of words naturally knows it too.And with Lu Xing's identity, if something really went wrong in the Underworld, the first person in the Heavenly Court who can't be spared must be the Mountain God Cang who said that.

Qingyan couldn't guess the original meaning of the mountain god's words, but Baochen and Lu Xing understood.Now Lu Xing has completely calmed down, looking at Qingyan's anxious expression, he couldn't help but hold her hand again, and said, "It's not about how far, you entrust me, this is my job. Whether you are going to heaven or going to hell, you don't have to blame yourself." The words were comforting, but Qingyan's expression became more anxious, saying: "But, this is too dangerous." Tears flickered in her eyes as she spoke Come.

Hearing what she said, Lu Xing suddenly laughed again, and said, "It's dangerous or something, aren't you with me?" Then he looked at Baochen again.Baochen didn't speak, but his expression was already determined, that was the attitude that he would definitely accompany Lu Xing to the underworld.Qingyan wiped the corners of her eyes, looked at Baochen in a daze, and heard Lu Xing say: "And we have caught up with the good times, haven't we?"

"In two days, it will be July and a half."

In July and a half, the gate of ghosts opens.It saves the procedure of using spiritual power to open the gate of ghosts in normal days. In this pure and cloudy day, it is indeed the best time to go in and out of the underworld.

It is true to say so, but Qingyan obviously still looks a little hesitant. Lu Xing knew that she was worried, so he smiled and said, "Girl, don't you want to find Su Mu?"

"How is that possible!" Qing Yan pouted, and suddenly became serious.Lu Xingfu patted the back of her hand again with a smile, and said, "In that case, let's go together." After speaking, he turned and walked down the mountain.Qing Yan was stunned for a while, until Bao Chen followed her to remind her that it was time to go back together, Qing Yan reacted, hurriedly caught up with Lu Xing, floated beside him and said: "Master, you are such a good person, how should I repay you?" ?”

"I've already collected the girl's commission fee, so I don't need anything in return." Lu Xingke said politely.

"That can't be done. Su Mu said that a commission is a commission, and a repayment is a repayment. They are two different things. The shopkeeper is so kind to me, so I should repay the shopkeeper." Miss Qingyan was obviously serious, and she thought for a while with her hands behind her back , suddenly seemed to have thought of some good idea, clapped his hands and smiled: "Why don't you! I'll cook another dinner for the owner!"

Lu Xing: "..."

As a result, that night, the three of them left the restaurant with a knife.Qingyan lacked spiritual power, and they couldn't show themselves before they came out of the mountain.At dinner, Lu Xing seemed to cook it for her on purpose, and specially ordered those decent dishes, which frightened Chen Yiguang, and asked Baochen quietly if his master was popular again. arrive.

It's not right to be angry, it's even wrong to be annoyed, so Baochen just let Chen Yiguang eat well.However, the children ate too much snacks in the afternoon, so they couldn't eat anything right now. As a result, Lu Xing saw it, and was scolded at the dinner table again, guessing that the pocket money for the start of school would not be able to keep much.Chen Yiguang curled his lips, feeling a little aggrieved and unable to speak out, he could only pick up the rice with the bowl in his arms, and after taking two bites, he couldn't help raising his head to ask what happened on Baochen Mountain.

Baochen still remembered that Lu Xing told Chen Yiguang not to tell Chen Yiguang about going to the underworld in July and a half, so he just picked up some things and told Chen Yiguang.The child half-understands, but seems to have heard something, nervously asked if the matter was serious, and even told Baochen to protect Lu Xing.

Lu Xing listened beside him without being irritable, and started talking to Chen Yiguang, complaining, "I don't believe you, Master, me after so many years, it's really chilling."

Chen Yiguang protested seriously, of course he could only be in his heart.

On the day of July and a half, after dinner, as soon as the sunset in the sky fell, some furtive voices could be heard in the dark, which made people feel uncomfortable.
