Mountain and sea essence

Seeing the iron cabinet door being slammed shut, the terrified face of the barbecue stand owner was blocked out of the cabinet door, and his field of vision returned to darkness, Qiao Jun blinked his small black bean-like eyes, revealing A little dazed.

Did he admit it wrong, the owner of the barbecue stall is not a monster?However, the evil spirit was indeed emanating from this baby-faced boss, and it was impossible for him to misidentify it at such a close distance.Although he has never encountered a monster other than himself since he was born, the ability to recognize monster aura is like breathing, an instinct that flows in his blood.His instinct told him that this little boss is a monster!

In the cabinet filled with the scent of various seasonings, Qiao Jun fell into a silent tangle.And at this moment, the cabinet door was pulled open again.This time, the cabinet door was only opened halfway, just enough for Qiao Jun to see the complete baby face of the small owner of the barbecue stall.

"Cough!" The little boss coughed dryly, and greeted Qiao Jun with some embarrassment, "Hello... are you a monster?"

Qiao Jun held his head high: "Obviously."

Little Boss: "..."

Qiao Jun then asked, "Are you a monster?"

Little Boss: "Well, I am also a monster, my name is Xu Chang."

This little boss is indeed a monster!He knew that it was impossible for him to identify the wrong one!Qiao Jun puffed out his chest, feeling that the whole chicken was full of confidence again.

Xu Chang: "???"

Qiao Jun: "My name is Qiao Jun. You are also a monster, why were you so frightened by me just now?"

"Open a door and suddenly see a chicken greeting you. If you don't prepare yourself, anyone will be frightened. That's called a stress reaction! It doesn't matter whether I want a monster or not!" The little boss Xu Chang said for himself. Arguing, "Also—I'm not freaking the shit out of it."

"Boss Xu! Is my grilled squid still not ready?"

"Come right away!" Xu Chang responded loudly to the customer, took out a bottle of chili powder from the cabinet, and said to Qiao Jun in a low voice, "We'll talk later when I close the stall."

The cabinet door was closed again by Xu Chang, Qiao Jun sniffed, and the slightly irritating chili powder floated into his nostrils.

"Ah-"

Qiao Jun: "..."

After zero o'clock, the alleys of barbecue stalls began to become deserted.When all the customers in front of the stall were gone, Xu Chang closed the stall, drove an electric tricycle, and took Qiao Jun back to his place of residence.

Xu Chang rented one room and one living room in the old community not far from the stall alley, and lived alone.He parked his tricycle in the garage downstairs, and then went upstairs with a silky chicken covered in seasoning.

The dim light shone in the narrow and old corridor, and the mottled walls looked like the shadows of monsters painted on the wall.Of course, those are just optical illusions.There were really two monsters climbing the stairs chattering and chirping.

"You haven't seen other monsters before you met me? What kind of backcountry do you live in?" Xu Chang stopped at the corner of the escalator, waiting for Qiao Jun who was flapping his wings and jumping up.

"Maoyang Village."

"I've never heard of it." Seeing Qiao Jun following up, Xu Chang stepped up and continued to walk up.

"I used to think that all the monsters were killed by the Monkey King, that's why I couldn't meet other monsters."

"Who told you this?"

"I watched it on TV."

"That's all fake!" Xu Chang added after finishing speaking, "The contents related to monsters on TV are all fabricated by humans."

"So there are actually many monsters in this world, but I haven't encountered them?" Qiao Jun asked.

Xu Chang stopped in front of a door on the third floor, and took out the key to open the door.

"There are not many monsters. Compared with humans, the number of monsters should be said to be very small." Xu Chang led Qiao Jun into the house and turned on the living room light, "I heard that there were countless monsters in this world in ancient times. There lived gods and Buddhas all over the sky. Later, the spiritual energy between the heaven and the earth began to decline sharply. First, the gods and Buddhas all over the sky disappeared, and then the monsters in the world gradually decreased. Now, the spiritual energy in the world is lacking, and many ancient monsters either fell asleep or died. The practice of living beings has also become difficult, it is difficult for animals to cultivate into a great monster, and it is even more difficult for plants, mountains and rocks to develop their spiritual intelligence, and practitioners among humans can no longer ascend to become immortals."

Xu Chang poured a glass of water, squatted down in front of Qiao Jun, and put the water glass in front of Qiao Jun, "I developed Lingzhi 200 years ago, and transformed into a form 30 years ago. I have cultivated until now, and I can't even hide my evil spirit. You found out right away."

"You're over 200 years old?" Qiao Jun opened his mouth slightly, showing a shocked expression with a chicken face.

"That's right!" Xu Chang smiled at Qiao Jun, holding his baby face.

"... What monster are you?"

"Rabbit essence."

"Oh." A rabbit over 200 years old.Qiao Jun silently lowered his head to drink water.

"Speaking of which, I can't feel the evil spirit in you at all. You must be a monster with high morals, right?" Xu Chang asked.

"I transformed 20 years ago." As for the fact that the egg can be transformed as soon as it comes out of the eggshell, Qiao Jun thinks it's better not to tell the rabbit, it's too much hatred.Hey, as soon as he entered the big dye vat in the city, he became a scheming chicken.

"Then your parents must be monsters with high morals, that's why you have such a good talent." Xu Chang showed an expression of surprise and envy, "It's only been 20 years since the transformation, and you can already hide your monster aura."

After Xu Chang was amazed, he asked strangely, "Since you can transform into form, why are you still running around with the prototype?"

Qiao Jun said with a heavy face, "No clothes."

Xu Chang: "Can't you use magic to conjure it?"

Qiao Jun was at a loss: "How?"

Xu Chang: "..." I almost forgot, this is a chicken essence born in a remote village, and I have never seen other monsters before I met myself, so no one taught him the magic of changing.

Xu Chang got up and went to the room to get a set of clothes for Qiao Jun, and then drove him to the bathroom to take a shower.

After Qiao Jun took a shower, he came out wearing the clothes Xu Chang gave him.

He was half a head taller than Xu Chang, and his figure was thin. Xu Chang's loose dark gray T-shirt fit him just right.The trousers were a little shorter, and the trousers turned into cropped trousers on him, revealing his fair ankles.However, Qiao Jun has a delicate and handsome face, which is between a teenager and a young man. His pupils are dark, and if you look closely, you can see that they are double pupils.The short black hair with a bit of natural curls matched his face just right. He used his good looks to wear the simple and inappropriate clothes with a front-line trendy look.

Xu Chang looked at Qiao Jun and praised the handsome boy, and brought him the cooked noodles.

Qiao Jun thanked Xu Chang with some embarrassment, and then sat down to eat noodles.

"Do you have any plans for the future?" Xu Chang sat down opposite Qiao Jun.

"Find a job and make money." Qiao Jun replied while eating. He has already realized that in a big city, it is absolutely impossible to live without money.

"What job are you looking for? Well, let me ask you, what do you know?"

"Let the chickens go." When he was in Maoyang Village, Old Man Qiao raised him, so he helped Old Man Qiao to let go of the chickens.He is very good at herding chickens. The chickens raised by other people on the mountain have been lost more or less, and the chickens raised by Old Man Qiao have not been lost in the past 20 years.

Xu Chang: "..."

Qiao Jun: "What's wrong?"

Xu Chang: "I think it's hard to find jobs in this field in Huize City."

Qiao Jun: "Then what kind of job should I look for?"

Xu Chang scratched his head, suddenly thought of something, and quickly asked, "Do you have a certificate?"

Qiao Jun: "Huh? What documents?"

"The ID card of human society! Well, I get it, it is impossible for you to have one." Xu Chang sighed, "If you want to work in human society, you must have an ID card."

Qiao Jun humbly asked for advice: "How can I get the ID card?"

"We have to go to the Tiangong Bureau to get the ID card of our monsters." Xu Changdao, "500 years ago, the monsters made troubles in the world, and human beings were invincible. It was the ancient big monsters in our demon world who came forward to help suppress them. After that, human beings accepted our love. , promised to apply for household registration for monsters who want to live in human society, and this is how the Tiangong Bureau was born. The Tiangong Bureau is responsible for managing the household registration of our monsters, and is also responsible for supervising our monsters’ lives in human society. However, as long as there is no trouble, they I can’t do anything. In short, if you want to apply for an ID card, you have to go to Xunzhou City—we don’t have a Tiangong Bureau here in Huize City.”

Qiao Jun: "..." It feels so difficult to live in a big city...

"Why don't you stay with me first and deliver food for me? I'll give you wages, and when you have saved enough travel expenses and living expenses, you can go to Xunzhou City." Xu Chang suggested.

Qiao Jun looked at Xu Chang movedly: "Xu Chang, you are such a good monster."

Xu Chang: "Everyone is a monster. When you are away from home, it is right to help each other."

So, a handsome takeaway boy ushered in a barbecue alley in Huize City.Every night, I rode a second-hand electric donkey through the streets and alleys.

That night, at the beginning of eight o'clock, Qiao Jun had just delivered a barbecue when he received a call from Xu Chang. The kind that was eliminated by the times.

"Qiao Jun, where are you now?" Xu Chang's voice, accompanied by the laughter of the guests, came from the phone.

"I'm on Yundong Road." Qiao Jun has seen a mobile phone at Qiao's house and knows what a mobile phone is, but he has never used it.Now that he got the phone a few days ago, he is in a state of novelty, and he can't help but smile when he answers the phone.

"Qiao Jun, I'm sorry, please help me get a bag of mutton skewers from Uncle Zhao's wholesale store. I forgot to ask for it when I bought it yesterday. It's the store I took you to yesterday. I already called Uncle Zhao. I've said hello, you can go and get it." Xu Chang said, "Don't ride a little donkey, if you don't have enough calls back and forth, you can take the subway line [-] on Yundong Road, under the third-line bridge. No problem, right?"

"No problem! Leave it to me." Qiao Jun patted his chest for assurance.

Today is the weekend, and the subway is full of people.Qiao Jun followed the crowd into the subway car, grabbed a handrail nearby, and looked around with interest.This is the third time he has taken the subway, and the freshness is higher than that of a mobile phone.

The old man sitting on the opposite side is reading a newspaper; a couple next to him is huddled together to play with a mobile phone, a smart phone, which is more advanced than him; next to him is a foreigner holding the armrest, with short hair. Braided hair, dark skin, burly figure, half a head taller than him; standing in front of him, stood a young man in a black windbreaker, his eyes fell out of the car window, Qiao Jun could only see his side face, this man His eyebrows are sharp like knives, his nose bridge is straight, and his face is stern. He is extremely handsome and aggressive. This man... is also half a head taller than him.

Qiao Jun was a little depressed. He was obviously not short, but he suffered a two-game losing streak.

Qiao Jun turned his eyes away, lowered his eyes to look aside, and his eyes fell on a middle-aged man. This middle-aged man was short and thin, with a greasy face and thinning hair.He was standing right behind the young man in the windbreaker, instead of looking up at the position above the car window with his back to back, as if he was concentrating on studying the site route map drawn on it, but quietly stretched out one hand, approaching the young man in the windbreaker behind him, The destination seems to be the buttocks of the youth in the windbreaker?

Qiao Jun's eyes widened - wow!Is this the legendary subway pervert?He saw it for the first time!

What should we do at this time?As a chicken essence with a sense of justice, of course you must act bravely!

Qiao Jun took a deep breath and roared, "Someone is being rude——"
