As soon as it was dark, Ying Xiaotao came out of the room, looked at Ji Yi with a smile, and almost rubbed his fingers in front of Ji Yi.

Ji Yi had been prepared for a long time, he folded ingots all afternoon, at this time he took out the ten silver ingots that he had prepared and burned them to Ying Xiaotao face to face.

Ying Xiaotao took the money, his face stretched and he spoke more politely. He patted his chest and said, "Come on, we have made friends. Although I have just joined the job, I still have some relationship. When I go to fight with the local errand Say hello and tell him to take care of you."

Ji Yi was noncommittal, "You're welcome."

He doesn't expect the underworld to take care of him. The following people who do official duties have always liked to find compensation in other areas because they don't have much money in their jobs.This kind of atmosphere has been around for a long time, it has been like this for thousands of years, and it cannot be changed overnight.Thinking about it, the following is also a convention that defaults to this point, and there will be no action to grasp the style.

Otherwise, how could a rookie like Ying Xiaotao be proficient at this?

If he was really asked to "take care" of him, Ji Yi would have to devote a lot of energy to deal with it.The king of Hades is easy to see, but little ghosts are hard to deal with. The evil is not as good as ordinary ghosts, so it's better to mess with them less.Of course, Ji Yi believed that Ying Xiaotao was just saying something nice, and would never really ask for a ghost for himself.

Sending Ying Xiaotao away, Ji Yi thought about finding an opportunity to ask the local ghosts he met last night if they knew Wei Hu and the master Chen they mentioned. The name, the local ghosts should know it if they know it.

"when are you leaving?"

Suddenly, Ji Yi heard a childish voice from above his head.The voice itself is very cute, but the direction from which it comes from makes Ji Yi feel a little creepy.

He looked up towards the source of the sound, and there was a round fluffy silhouette on the tile edge of the patio. Compared with the dark sky and the electrified and lit room, it was hidden in the darkness, but Ji Yi could feel that it was coming look at yourself.

He even felt like the bird was one of the three he had showered yesterday.

This is, youkai...?

Ji Yi has seen a lot of ghosts, and if the bird speaks, it must be a ghost with spirituality, right?Although he has never seen a monster, he also knows that the number of monsters should not be particularly large, at least they will not easily appear in the world.

"You, are you a monster?" Ji Yi's tone was hard not to hesitate.The round black silhouette was probably not much bigger than his fist.In Ji Yi's imagination, creatures like monsters should be mighty and powerful, and their bodies could shake the earth. Now the gap is too big. The first thing he thinks of is not fear, but his head? ?

The doubt in Ji Yi's tone seemed to anger the little sparrow, it swooped down towards Ji Yi in an instant, it spread its wings to match its pair of black bean eyes that were finally exposed under the light, the eyes were determined and cold, It seemed to be a very imposing scene, but just a second before it rushed in front of Ji Yi, Xiao Que'er's body turned sharply, heading towards the Eight Immortals table, two small but sharp claws grabbed the edge of the table, His head plunged into Ji Yi's leftover bag of potato chips.

The atmosphere of confronting Ji Yi after the previous humiliation disappeared, and Ji Yi saw that his whole body was about to get inside, so he had no choice but to stop it.

Ji Yi held the bag of potato chips in one hand, supported Xiao Que'er's back and buttocks with the other hand, and pulled it out, "Hey, it's so unhygienic."

Little Que'er still had half a piece of potato chips in his mouth, looking at Ji Yi stubbornly, with a lot of spice powder on his head.It babbled and ate the potato chips in its mouth, as if it had forgotten the purpose of coming here, and asked Ji Yi: "What is this, so refreshing and delicious?"

It looked like it still wanted to eat it, but since the potato chips belonged to Ji Yi, it couldn't grab it any more, but the little Que'er still broke free from Ji Yi's grasp, shook off its feathers, Stepping on Ji Yi's palm, trying to be a head taller than Ji Yi.

"These are cucumber-flavored potato chips." Ji Yi pulled the topic back, "When are you asking me to leave?"

The greedy look of this little bird eating potato chips has already diluted a lot of Ji Yi's anxiety about unknown things, maybe even if the little bird becomes a sperm, it doesn't seem to be scary?

"Oh, yes." Back to business, Xiao Que'er's tone became a little more serious, "What are you doing here as a human being for so long? I saw you brought strangers in during the day, and entangled with ghosts at night. Qing, although I don't know what your intentions are, I will always pay attention to you and report to Master Lin Zhao on time."

The scorching light of "I'm watching you" burst out from the eyes of this fat bird black bean.

Ji Yi really wanted to remind it that "entanglement" probably wasn't used in this way, but she couldn't help taking out a potato chip from the potato chip bag with her fingertips and handing it to its mouth, Xiao Que'er immediately opened her mouth and chewed.

The name Lin Zhao appeared in Ji Yi's ears again.Ji Yi originally speculated that Lin Zhao was a local ghost fairy, but ghosts and demons have never had a deep connection.

Ji Yi asked: "Who is Lord Lin Zhao?" He asked while feeding another piece of potato chips to Xiao Que'er.

Xiao Que'er wanted to put her posture as straight as possible, but was confused by the potato chips again and again, so a few questions revealed a few key words.

"Lord Lin Zhao, a powerful monster who guards this mountain, doesn't like humans, and rarely shows up."

"Really," Ji Yi wondered, "but I met him on the first day I came here."

Little Que'er thought Ji Yi was taking it too slowly, and had already dug his head into the bag of potato chips again. Hearing this, he said in a muffled voice, "That's just because you came here for the first time. My lord wants to see who you are. It's been hundreds of years. Come on, my lord always does."

"Hundreds of years?"

"I cultivated spiritual consciousness hundreds of years ago," Xiao Que'er munched on potato chips.

I don't like strangers, but whenever strangers approach me, I will come and see them in person.Ji Yi thought of that night, with his scrutinizing gaze in the dark, he had a suspicion that Lin Zhao might be looking for someone.

But if you don't like human beings and look for them in human beings, isn't this a very contradictory thing in itself?

"Anyway," Xiao Que'er ate the last bit of potato chips, "When are you leaving?"

"I won't leave," Ji Yiyong rubbed the little bird's head with his fingertips, "I will live here for a while, and I will open one," Ji Yi thought about his words, "Inn, there may be occasional openings at that time." people come over."

Xiao Que'er fluttered her wings in panic, and was offended by Ji Yi: "You, you actually have such a hateful idea."

"But strictly speaking, the place where I am is not counted as your mountain, right?" Ji Yi said.

That's right, Xiao Que'erkong could only grit his teeth, and was more at a loss, not knowing how to deal with Ji Yi, so he turned his head and said, "I'll tell Master Lin Zhao."

It turned and rushed into the night.

Ji Yi thought it was interesting, but Ji Yi wasn't worried about Xiao Que'er saying that she wanted to tell Lord Lin Zhao something.Although he only met him once that night, he didn't think Lin Zhao was unreasonable, and he wouldn't be allowed to open a homestay outside the mountain.Besides, if he was really looking for someone, wouldn't the occasional customers in his store make it easier for him to find someone?Ji Yi thought that even if Lin Zhao came looking for him, he could use this excuse.

Sure enough, the little bird didn't appear again until the next night, and Ji Yi didn't see Lin Zhao either.

Xiao Que'er didn't come, but Ji Yi saw Old Man Li at night, standing in a forest not far from his house with some local ghosts that Ji Yi had seen, together they didn't know what to say.

Seeing Ji Yi's figure from a distance, old man Li walked over immediately.

Ji Yi happened to want to ask old man Li about Master Chen, so he didn't hide.It was only when I got closer that I saw a sad expression on Old Man Li's face, but when faced with Ji Yi's question, Old Man Li still pulled himself together and replied: "Chen Weiguo, I seem to have heard of it, let me ask for you."

Old man Li drifted away, whispered a few words with other local ghosts, and came back soon.

The other local ghosts also sneaked a look at Ji Yi, but they didn't come over right away, they looked a little apprehensive.Ji Yi suspected that old man Li had told them about smashing his tombstone the day before, and he didn't know what kind of terrifying image he had created in the minds of those ghosts.

"They said there was such a person buried not far from here, can we help you find him?" Old man Li said courteously.

"Then I'll trouble you," Ji Yi said, "I won't let you run away in vain."

He went back to the house and took some traditional pastries that he just bought today, still wrapped in yellow paper, bought from a pastry shop in the town.The old man who makes pastries inside looks to be more than 70 years old.The taste is actually pretty good, but it's a bit too sweet for Ji Yi, and it's just right for these helping ghosts to eat at this time.

Some of the ghosts, like old man Li, have already lost their love, and some of their children are still alive, and they will come to the grave to worship on the Qingming Festival of the first month, so they eat differently, some are a little reserved, and some gobble it up.

Only one ghost looked displeased, and hesitantly asked Ji Yi if the pastry was bought from the Changxing pastry shop in the town.

Ji Yi wondered if he had read the packaging, but since she was asked, she still replied, "Yes."

"Hey, isn't that your pastry shop?" Old man Li said to the ghost, and he turned his head to explain to Ji Yi, "His name is Sun Changxing, and he opened that shop when he was here, and he is the one who makes all the craftsmanship." taught his son."

Sun Changxing sighed, "My son's craftsmanship is really embarrassing to me. I knew that I should have passed the shop to my daughter. My daughter is like me, with real materials, not like this stinky boy. This is old-fashioned. It’s made with mung bean flour, and there’s too much sugar in it.”

Ji Yi can't tell the nuances of aging or not, but he agrees with adding too much sugar.

They ate Ji Yi's stuff, and they got things done really quickly. Ji Yi was looking at some treasures for a while to look at the building materials for decoration, and all the ghosts called him outside the door: "Boss Ji."

Ji Yi told them earlier that the purpose of finding Master Chen was to renovate the old house and open a homestay, and the ghosts all started calling him the boss. Although it was flattering, it was also appropriate.

Ji Yi thinks it's appropriate for a group of old ghosts who have been dead for more than ten or twenty years and who were at least older than his father to call him Master Ji.

There was an old ghost in front of him who had been dead for an unknown number of years. After eating the pastries, tears filled his eyes. He really called out to be Master Ji, and almost took all the other ghosts into the ditch.

Ji Yi hurriedly went to open the door, only to see that among the group of ghosts at the door, there was indeed a stranger, about forty or fifty years old.

On the way here, the old ghosts had already told Chen Weiguo what they were going to do, but Chen Weiguo still felt strange that he was asked to work for a living person.

Seeing Ji Yi at this time, he muttered, "How can I be a living person, I have never done this kind of work before."

He originally wanted to find a place to make an appointment tonight, but his hands were itching, and he vowed to win back the money he lost yesterday, so he was naturally unwilling at the moment.

Ji Yi said: "I know it's a bit difficult, but maybe I can overcome it?"

"Human beings and ghosts have different paths, we can't overcome it," Chen Weiguo said loudly, looking at Ji Yi, and was about to refuse him perfunctorily, but he saw Ji Yi took out a silver ingot from behind, shining brightly, piercing the ghost's eyes.

Chen Weiguo's eyes flicked straight, and when he reached his mouth, he turned a corner, "If you can't overcome it, you have to overcome it. My motto is to climb the peak bravely and never give up!"
