The Taste of Ghosts in the World

Hot water rushed into the teapot, and white smoke rose from it.

While waiting for the tea leaves to boil, old man Zhang made some food and put it in front of the golden retriever. The dog was still lying on the ground and drooling, when it smelled the smell of food, it immediately rolled over and stood up, almost trampled on the food. pot.

Seeing him so stupid, old man Zhang chuckled, "It's still the same when you eat, thanks to Xiaoqi being able to support you before." After speaking, he bowed and patted his dog's head, then walked back to the divination booth and sat down, took out a Flip through the magazine and take another sip of tea.

It is too leisurely to be more leisurely.

Just as he was watching, there was movement at the door. Old man Zhang knew that there was a visitor, so he quickly stuffed the magazine under the hexagram booth, and put on a fairy-like expression, ready to welcome the first business of the day.

But when he saw the person coming, he was stunned. The little goatee shook for a long time, and finally said: "You... why are you back?"

The two who were supposed to pass away walked in side by side, Qi Mu naturally pulled the chair in front of the hexagram booth and sat down, and said with a smile, "Come and see you."

When he was talking, he caught a glimpse of the golden retriever next to him, and clapped his hands at it. The golden retriever was still buried in his food. It took him a long time to react. He looked up at Qi Mu and stood there for a while, as if he finally remembered what this person was doing. Then Walked over staggeringly.

Qi Mu stretched out his hand, intending to touch its back, but was licked by the golden retriever, making his hands drool.

"I thought, if you go back this time, you won't come again." Old man Zhang stretched out a finger and compared the sky.

Feng Baisui asked him: "You already knew who we are?"

The old man shook his head, "I don't know, I just know that you are definitely not mortals."

"Old Zhang," Qi Mu said while wiping the saliva on Jin Mao's body, "In your whole life, how many things have you known that ordinary people don't?"

"Don't talk nonsense." The old man waved his hand, "I don't know anything."

Qi Mu rubbed Jin Mao's head enthusiastically, "You still have to play dumb with us. You might say you don't know, so naturally someone will write it down for you."

He raised his head, with a bit of worry in his tone, "You know so many secrets, don't you worry about losing your life?"

Old man Zhang picked up the teapot and took a sip, then said slowly: "What's the use of worrying, the old man has been tired of staying in the world for decades, and it doesn't make much difference if he lives less than ten years."

"Have you ever counted for yourself, how many years are left?"

"Those who work in our business never consider themselves." The old man stroked his beard and said with a smile, "I know how long I can live."

Qi Mu nodded, stood up, and glanced at Jin Mao.

"It has to trouble you..."

"No trouble, just be my companion."

Before leaving, Qi Mu said: "We will come back to see you often."

The old man waved at him, "It's enough to come here once before you die, don't keep disturbing my business."

Feng Baisui said coolly: "Anyway, there is no business." The old man stared in anger.

When he came out of the shop, Qi Mu glanced back. The old man was flipping through the magazines read by young people again, holding a teapot for a few sips, and there was a sleepy dog ​​at his feet.

It is too leisurely to be more leisurely.

……

As soon as he reached the entrance of the alley, Qi Mu suddenly stopped, quickly grabbed Feng Baisui, and dodged to hide in the alley.

"what happened?"

"I saw Fang Ji."

Sure enough, after a while, Fang Ji walked past the alley, and at this moment, a voice suddenly appeared nearby——

"What are you doing here?"

Qi Mu was startled, subconsciously tightened his shoulders, looked up at the alley, Fang Ji had already passed by, and then turned around to see a little girl in a puff sleeve dress holding a big cloth bear standing Beside, what she just said was what she said.

Since they didn't answer, she asked again: "What are you hiding from?"

"..." Qi Mu thought for a while and told her, "We are playing a game."

"what game?"

"Hide the cat."

As if she had never heard of this game, the little girl tilted her head in doubt and asked, "What is peek-a-boo?"

Qi Mu looked helplessly at Feng Baisui, who was already impatient, so he said, "Just like this, he and I are going to hide now, and you come back to us after a while, and if we are found, you will win." gone."

After finishing speaking, it didn't matter whether the little girl understood or not, she pulled Qi Mu up and left. The child didn't chase after her, and the cloth bear holding her just stood there and watched them leave.

Qi Mu felt a little uneasy about his conscience, and wanted to look back at her, only to realize that he had gone a long way.

"Isn't it a little bit..." for us to leave her like this?

"She won't be trafficked." Feng Baisui stopped, "Don't tell me I didn't see what she was."

"..." Qi Mu stopped talking.

Feng Baisui glanced around, he walked too hastily just now and didn't pay attention, unknowingly he walked in the opposite direction from home.

"Where are you going now?"

Qi Mu thought for a while, "Anyway, I've already gone out, this place is not far from Qi's house, go say hello to Qi Buyang."

The Qi family's house is in the outskirts of the city, in a very remote location, which is the direction of the cemetery where Qi Mu met Qi Buyang for the first time, but he didn't know the exact location, so he got out of the car before reaching the cemetery, and was going to look for it while walking.

After walking for a while, two people ran towards us in a hurry, and it was only when we got closer that we saw that they were Zhao Xingbang and the team leader.

Qi Mu shouted: "Uncle Bang! Captain!"

The other party recognized them and stopped abruptly.

"Xiao...Xiao Mu," Zhao Xingbang was still panting, "I'm sorry, I didn't see you just now."

Qi Mu waved his hands, looking at their appearance, he couldn't help but wondered: "Uncle Bang, are you in a hurry?"

"No...it's not urgent, just a little trouble..."

The group leader patted him and said, "Let me do the talking, take your time."

Zhao Xingbang smiled helplessly, "It's really old, if it was in the past, this distance... a trivial matter!"

Qi Mu nodded, "We know." Then he looked at the leader.

"Aren't you living in the cemetery?"

"It's always been here, and we won't go anywhere. But it seems that we can't do it now..." The head of the group sighed, showing a wry smile, "Today, two envoys came and saw that I was the only one left in the garden. Take me down to reincarnate..."

Before he finished speaking, Feng Baisui suddenly said: "Are the messengers you are talking about two strange-looking people?"

The leader was taken aback, "You know him?"

Feng Baisui pointed to the front, "There."

Zhao Xingbang and the group leader hurriedly turned their heads to look, and the two had caught up, and they were about to continue running away, but saw the envoy stopped ten meters away.

"Who is in front? Don't stop the ghost messenger from handling the case!"

Qi Mu and Feng Baisui looked at each other, probably the two ghost messengers sensed their spiritual power, so they became vigilant.

When he couldn't wait for an answer, the ghost messenger shouted again: "Please do me a favor and don't meddle in the affairs of the underworld."

The group leader and Zhao Xingbang were stunned, "Are they talking to you?"

"Maybe." Qi Mu thought for a while, then raised his voice and said: "Master, the ghost you want to catch is my friend, can you show your hand and let him go?"

They seemed to discuss it for a while, and then said: "Since we are your friends, it's easy to discuss. Whether you can let it go or not depends on how sincere your intentions are."

Qi Mu didn't answer immediately, and after a moment of silence, he whispered, "They want Ming coins."

Zhao Xingbang and the head of the group didn't expect the same in the underworld, so they couldn't help clicking their tongues.

"Are you really going to buy paper money?" Qi Mu asked Feng Baisui.

Feng Baisui snorted coldly, and said to the two ghosts: "Come here!"

They seemed to be quite afraid of Qi Mu and Feng Baisui, they just didn't want to move forward, "Just talk when you talk, why go there?"

"Don't you want to see your mind? Come here, I'll show you!"

The two ghost messengers hesitated for a long time, and finally came, Qi Mu saw their appearance clearly, one was dark and strong with a big head, the other was thin and long with a weird long face.

The one with the long face spoke: "Where are your thoughts? Why didn't this envoy see it?"

"I'll let you see." Feng Baisui said coldly.

Knowing that he was going to make a move, Qi Mu hurriedly stopped him, and said in a low voice, "If you beat these two away, there will be other ghosts in the future. This is not good."

At this time, the big-headed ghost suddenly uttered a cry, which sounded like a cow at first glance.He poked his companion and said in a rough voice, "Brother Ma, do you think they look familiar?"

The long-faced ghost guard looked carefully at Feng Baisui and Qi Mu, his face turned pale immediately, he patted his companion and said, "Quick, quick! Scroll! Scroll!"

The big head took out a scroll from the pocket on his waist and handed it to him. He looked at it with a long face, "It's not this!" The big head slowly searched for the bag on the other side, and the long face jumped in a hurry, so he opened the bag by himself to look through it, and finally found it. The scroll he wanted, he opened it and looked at it for a long time, then looked up again, then his hand shook, and he almost threw the scroll out.

"Isn't it?" Big Head asked him.

Chang's face was pale, "Brother Niu, if you and I died together today, would you regret it?"

Datou was stunned, and said in a rough voice: "Didn't we die a long time ago?"

"..."

Changing his long face into a respectful expression, he cupped his hands to Feng Baisui and Qi Mu: "Master Zhulong, Lord Yuanling, how are you?"

Feng Baisui still had a cold face, "Not good."

The long face showed embarrassment, "How can it be bad?"

"I hate horse faces."

The long face froze, and the big head behind him said: "Brother Ma doesn't like people calling him a horse face..." Before he finished speaking, he was stepped on, and the long face quickly explained: "Brother Niu remembered wrongly, but I don't actually hate it." I was said to have a horse face, and Mr. Zhulong didn't say that I have a horse face."

"Then what do you hate being called?" Feng Baisui asked.

"... long face."

"You have a long face."

The long face gritted his teeth silently, and then pulled out an indescribably weird smile, "Is this better?"

Feng Baisui gave him a disgusted look.

"Longer."

"..."

Qi Mu noticed the scrolls in their hands and asked, "Am I wanted too?"

The long face hurriedly said: "No, no, Mr. Yuan Ling was joking, this is not a wanted warrant."

"what is that?"

The long face was in a dilemma, and he didn't know how to answer, so he heard the big head honestly say: "It is the list of the least offending people in the Three Realms."

Qi Mu was suddenly embarrassed.

"So we're both up there?"

The long face had no choice but to nod truthfully.

"Then our friend..."

Changlian hurriedly expressed his opinion: "Please don't worry about this, we will explain to our subordinates when we get back, and there will be no more ghosts to harass us in the future."

Qi Mu smiled gently, "Is this not meddling in the affairs of the underworld?"

"Not counting."

Qi Mu nodded, "That's good."

"..."

The big head seriously reminded his partner, "Brother Ma, we are still one step short of today's target..."

Changlian turned his head to stare at him, but saw a ferocious ghost flying from behind, his body was so full of hostility that he was almost unable to maintain his human form.

He was overjoyed, and immediately pushed his big head away, stretched out the soul hook, and hooked the ghost's neck.It's strange to say that the fierce ghost who used to show his teeth and claws, once touched the soul hook, didn't move, and obediently let go of his hands to catch him.

Now that the target was fulfilled, the two envoys went back happily.As soon as their figures disappeared, Qi Mu said: "Uncle Bang, Captain, you guys should go back to the cemetery as well, otherwise you will encounter some trouble outside."

"Xiao Mu, I want to thank you again today. I don't know how much I owe you, Huanhuan and I."

"Uncle Bang, you watched me grow up, don't say that."

Zhao Xingbang slapped his head, "Yes, you can't say that. If your father is not here, we are your godfathers. If you need anything, don't hesitate to ask us for help!"

Qi Mu nodded.

The leader hesitated to speak, Zhao Xingbang gave him a hand and shook his head slightly.

"Even if we can't help you, I still come here often to talk to Uncle Huan."

"it is good."

Zhao Xingbang smiled and turned back with the team leader.

Qi Mu stood in place and looked at the backs of the two father-generation soldiers. In his impression, Zhao Xingbang was always handsome and young, standing with the handsome and upright commander, a match made in heaven.Only now did I suddenly realize that Zhao Xingbang was no longer as young as he remembered, and even the head of the regiment, who remained unchanged in appearance, clearly showed a middle-aged demeanor.

It seems that the years have really settled down on them, bit by bit, clearly visible.

But when these two stand together hand in hand, it is still a match made in heaven.

"wait for me."

Feng Baisui seemed to have suddenly remembered something, and ran towards the two of them.

Qi Mu watched them stop talking to Feng Baisui from afar, and was wondering what they were talking about, when he heard a familiar voice calling his name——

"Qi Mu! Qi Mu!"

He turned his head and saw Mr. Qi running over in a hurry, with that Mr. Luo beside him.

"You guys came just in time. I'm still looking for the location of the Qi family."

"You didn't take your business card?" Qi Buyang asked him.

"What business card?"

Qi Buyang became anxious, "Our Qi family's business card! I gave it to you!"

Looking back, Qi Mu seems to have the impression that he got the business card, but he doesn't know where he put it.

"Sorry, I seem to have forgotten..."

"I knew it would be like this!" Qi Buyang said a few words, pointing to the wasteland behind the cemetery and told him: "There is an enchantment outside the Qi family, if it is not the Qi family, you have to hold a business card to see it, and those business cards are specially made. "

Qi Mu looked in the direction he pointed, at first there was nothing, but after blinking a few times, some faint buildings appeared in his sight.

"Oh, it's not the time to talk about this!" Qi Buyang frowned, and asked Qi Mu: "Did you see a ghost here just now?"

"Saw."

Qi Buyang asked eagerly: "Which direction did it go?"

"Hooked away by the bull's head and horse's face."

"Have you met a ghost?!"

Qi Mu nodded.

"Fortunately, it will be troublesome if you let it go." Qi Buyang breathed a sigh of relief before he noticed the biggest problem, and his eyes widened all of a sudden.

"Qi Mu! You, aren't you...?"

"died?"

"Yes, I saw you die with my own eyes."

Qi Mu smiled faintly, "I'm resurrected again."

Qi Buyang was taken aback, "Can people really be resurrected?!"

"Of course people can't." Luo Lang smiled at Qi Mu, "But these two friends of yours are not human beings."

"Are you a human?"

An impolite voice suddenly cut in, and Feng Baisui came back.

Luo Lang suppressed his smile, confronted Feng Baisui for a while, and then said flatly, "We can just take care of our own affairs."

Feng Baisui snorted coldly, "To each other."

Qi Mu was afraid that they would fight, so he quickly changed the subject, and said to Qi Buyang: "I just came to see you, we are leaving here soon."

Hearing what he said, Qi Buyang's expression was obviously a bit disappointed, "Where are you going?"

"I don't know, it can be anywhere."

"Never come back again?"

Qi Mu shook his head, "I will come back, and I will come back often." He patted Qi Buyang on the shoulder, "Don't worry, we can meet again."

"Yeah." Qi Buyang showed a sincere smile, "Qi Mu, it's great that you're still alive!"

After chatting for a while, both Luo Lang and Feng Baisui began to show varying degrees of impatience, fearing that they would really fight because they were too bored, Qi Mu decisively ended the conversation, and politely declined Qi Buyang's invitation to visit Qi's house. Feng Baisui said goodbye and went back.

"Have you figured out who that Luo Lang is?"

On the way home, Qi Mu asked Feng Baisui.

"No, but his strength is definitely no less than that of a god."

"Is it from the God Realm?"

"He's not like that."

"You are also a god yourself, why don't you know if there is such a person in the God Realm?"

"I haven't cared about the affairs of the God Realm for a long time."

"Who is that person?"

Feng Baisui frowned, "I don't know."

Qi Mu pushed him with a smile, and raised his finger to the door of the house.

"I mean that."
