Infinite Puzzle City

Chapter 108: Open Eyes Guan Gong (Third Update)

When Xiao Ran opened his eyes again, he found himself back in the front hall.

It was as if everything that just happened was just a dream.

He subconsciously touched his neck, but did not feel the chain hanging around his neck. However, he could clearly feel the changes in himself. When his feet stepped on the ground, he felt a sense of being down to earth.

"Not bad, it seems like you're lucky, you found the two life locks back."

The bald man nodded, and could see the change in Xiao Ran at this moment.

"Who is under the Forgotten River?"

Xiao Ran looked at the bald-headed old man and asked. It was obvious that the life-lock that had been smashed was put back around the neck by the other party, which inevitably made Xiao Ran feel a little unbelievable.

"She is the Forgotten River Fairy, but everyone calls her the Forgotten River Lady. She likes to pull souls that pass by the Forgotten River into the river and secretly eat them. But she is also the deity in charge of supervising the underworld. For those who try to cut off their own life chains but fail to practice enough and die, she will put the life chains back on them and throw them to Meng Po to reincarnate."

"Uh... a little contradictory."

Xiao Ran scratched his head. He felt that this statement was weird, but he couldn't tell exactly what was weird about it.

The bald-headed old man was too lazy to argue with him on these details, and just said: "It is just like that. Some things are contradictory when they exist, but contradiction does not mean they cannot exist. For example, some gods are originally evil gods, but that does not prevent them from being righteous gods. For example, the God of Wealth Zhao Gongming, people say he is the God of Wealth, but they don't know that he is also one of the Five Plague Kings."

"Oh!"

Xiao Ran nodded: "What about the paper figurine she ate?"

"Yes, it's the Zhou family's life-saving paper man. If it weren't for this paper man, you would probably not be able to come back, and I wouldn't dare to give you this bad idea." The bald-headed old man said proudly.

"Bad idea?" Xiao Ran was keenly aware of these three words and glanced at the bald-headed old man.

Realizing that he seemed to have let something slip, the bald-headed old man immediately acted impatient and waved his hand at Xiao Ran. "Your work is done. If you have nothing else to do, get out of here. Go back and tell your grandfather that I have repaid the favor I owe him. Don't bother me in the future."

Seeing that the bald old man was not going to say anything, Xiao Ran couldn't force him. After all, he had saved his life.

He stood up, said goodbye to the bald old man, and then prepared to help Lu Cheng, who was unconscious, to take Lu Cheng back first.

"Hey, hey, hey, just go, he stays."

The bald old man stopped Xiao Ran.

"he?"

"Yes, yes, this kid can't leave. If you take him away, you will harm him." The bald-headed old man explained; "I originally only asked you to invite someone with good character and some singing skills, but who knew that you invited a real Guan Gong. He is playing Guan Gong today, which is a taboo in itself. He also did a favor for Guan Di and saved a child. Now he can't leave. He will stay in the temple from now on. When he returns the favor to Guan Di, he can leave."

After saying this, fearing that Xiao Ran wouldn't believe him, he ripped the clothes off Lu Cheng's back.

Under the smooth skin of Lu Cheng's back, a Guan Gong with open eyes appeared out of thin air.

"this!!"

The corner of Xiao Ran's mouth twitched. He had taken Lu Cheng to the bathhouse to take a bath before, and he remembered clearly that there was no tattoo on Lu Cheng's back.

And he had also heard that there were rules in the tattoo community.

A dragon tattoo will not go above the shoulder, a tiger tattoo will not leave the mountain, Guanyin will not save the world with her eyes closed, and Guan Gong will kill people with his eyes open.

Having a Guan Gong tattoo on the back is a taboo in itself, and people with a weak physique simply cannot support it.

What's more, he is Guan Gong with his eyes open, and not everyone can handle it.

Now there is a tattoo of Guan Gong with open eyes on Lu Cheng’s back. I’m afraid that just as the bald old man said, he really can’t walk.

Xiao Ran suddenly felt guilty.

Someone helped me so much, but I ended up causing him to be unable to make a living. I couldn't help feeling bad when I thought about it.

"Oh, don't be sad. This is his fate and his own choice. Don't worry, it won't be a bad thing. At least from now on, demons and evil spirits will avoid him."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ran originally wanted to complain, asking where all these demons and evil spirits came from.

But I suddenly thought of the things in the mystery city and immediately shut my mouth.

"Don't worry, we will take good care of him. When he sobers up tomorrow, we will get him a certificate. He will be a formal employee in the future, and he will be covered by five insurances and one housing fund, holidays, and overtime pay."

After the bald-headed old man finished speaking, he urged Xiao Ran to get out as soon as possible. He had had enough of the dead smell coming from Xiao Ran in the past two days.

Xiao Ran had no choice but to be escorted out the door by the bald old man.

“Buzz…Bang!”

Looking at the door closing behind him, Xiao Ran didn't know what to say for a moment.

After thinking about it, I decided to go back first and come back to see Lu Cheng in a couple of days.

After Xiao Ran returned home and opened the rolling door, he saw the white cat waiting for him at the door. Upon seeing Xiao Ran coming back, the white cat jumped onto the table, stuck its head out and sniffed Xiao Ran carefully a few times. Xiao Ran originally wanted to reach out and touch it, but the cat was very proud. It turned around and swept its tail towards him, then jumped onto the shelf and kept a distance from Xiao Ran.

"Okay, I'll deal with you next time I have the chance." Today, I at least took a stroll at the door of the King of Hell's house, but I didn't expect to be despised by a cat.

Back in the room, Xiao Ran took a hot bath and looked in the mirror. Sure enough, the three little men on his back were gone.

only……

This black mark and this hair...

Looking at the black mass on his lower back and the mark on his back that looked like a sapling, Xiao Ran felt a headache and felt that his troubles seemed to never be solved.

It was also because the bald old man was too anxious to send me away yesterday, and I didn’t even have the chance to ask him more questions.

But it’s not a big deal. Judging from its performance, this thing doesn’t seem to be able to harm me. Next time I go to Guanlin Temple to visit Lu Cheng, I can ask him one more question.

In fact, if it weren't for this thing, I would have turned into a real ghost by the time I inserted the third [Spirit Seeding Nail].

After tossing and turning for so long, Xiao Ran really felt sleepy. He ate something quickly and then lay down on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.

The days passed by.

Xiao Ran stayed in the store during the day and went to the slaughterhouse to sew up corpses at night.

In addition, he dug a well about one meter deep in the yard.

Follow the corpse-raising method of the Ichiku School, cover the bottom of the well with black rice and broken glass, and then hang the corpses of [Two-Faced Demon Dog], [Senbei], and [Kamidori Reiko] in it.

This is called a corpse-raising well, which is specially used for raising corpses. It can allow the corpses to slowly nourish themselves inside and gradually become stronger.

In fact, there is another D-level female corpse, which Xiao Ran has not touched since he got it.

I also don't plan to throw it into the corpse well.

Now, he already has a D-grade female corpse in his hand. As long as the suture is completed and the score reaches A-grade, the Zhen'e Order can be upgraded.

But I'm not sure if I can do it myself now.

He wanted to break through to the master level before doing the stitching.

In this way, he could ensure that he would complete the A-level score and would not waste this D-level female corpse.

If I can successfully find a D-level spell rune [Craftsman], then I will have hope of advancing to a D-level corpse catcher.

and so……

Xiao Ran thought about it and realized that he had already completed 80% of the preparations. There were only two things left.

The first thing is to break through the master-level suturing technique.

The second thing is to find the [Craftsman] spell pattern.

But these two things are not so easy. I had previously asked Uncle Li to help me find the doctor's body, but there has been no news for such a long time. It is conceivable that it is probably useless.

As for the [Craftsman] as an E-level spell, I may not be able to get it in reality, unless I look for the Changchun Society again. I don’t know if I have enough money this time.

Just when he was worrying, there was a knock on the door. Xiao Ran looked up and saw Wu Man walking in with a lunch box.

After seeing Xiao Ran, Wu Man smiled and said, "This really is your store."

He was walking out just now and saw the sign outside the door that read "Xiao Ji Funeral Shop". He pushed the door open and took a look. Unexpectedly, it was really his shop.

Wu Man put the lunch box on the table: "Let me show you a piece of news."

As he spoke, he picked up his phone, only to see a video on it. It showed Lu Cheng acting as Guan Gong that night, and there were already tens of thousands of likes on the video.

Especially the moment when Lu Cheng lifted up his robe and passed it over the child's head, his sad expression went viral on the Internet.

"It's only because he's not a beginner, otherwise this matter alone would be enough for the company to interview him."

"An interview? Why?"

Xiao Ran didn't understand. Huang Le had also been on the hot search list, and not only had he been on it, he had also become extremely popular. Recently, the threshold of his store was almost broken down.

"It's different. The nature is different. We cannot promote feudal superstition, or in other words, we don't allow beginners to use the name of gods to fool the world. If this kind of situation is discovered, at the very least, they will be summoned for a talk, and at the worst, they will be directly removed from the company."

Xiao Ran had an expression as if he had suddenly realized something.

Seeing that Wu Man seemed to know more than himself, Xiao Ran frowned slightly and asked tentatively: "If I want to buy an E-level spell pattern, do you have any good ideas?"

"Yes, I have."

Wu Man nodded, opened the lunch box with a smile, took out a steak rice bowl, and pushed it in front of Xiao Ran; "I'll tell you after you finish eating..."

　After a short break, I will go to write the fourth update. I will do it as soon as possible.
