I was forced to cultivate immortality when I just wanted to lie down

Chapter 99 Little Wife

"Mr. Liu, why do I feel a chill on my back?"

Mr. Feng's shoulders shrank and he shivered as if he had just urinated in the middle of the night.

Ji Ruinian's wide sleeves fluttered, and a white snake, spitting out its tongue, emerged from his collar.

The snake hissed and stared at the black cat at the door, as if facing a great enemy.

Xuan Yu raised his neck proudly, walked gracefully to the coffin, and jumped on it.

Although it was clearly a cat, it was patrolling its territory like the king of the forest, giving the visiting immortals a sense of arrogance and contempt.

"Are you two the ones who sent out the mission for Master Feng and Mr. Liu?"

Wow! A talking cat!
This is like meeting a great immortal!
"Amazing! This is the first time I've seen such a thing in my life. This is a true immortal, really incredible." Master Feng was so amazed that he almost put down the birdcage, flapped his sleeves left and right, and stepped forward to greet.

Ji Ruinian bowed in greeting, and seeing that Mr. Feng, who was wearing a melon-shaped hat next to him, was still mumbling to himself, he reached out and pulled his sleeve.

Mr. Feng came to his senses immediately and hurried forward to greet him.

"Your Majesty, may you be blessed! Feng Er is here to pay his respects."

"."

Xu Qing's eyelids twitched when he heard this. It was clearly a taboo word for the immortals, so how come it became "eunuch" in your mouth?

If Xuanyu is the Empress, then what is he? The Emperor Emeritus?
Mr. Feng was born with Huagai in his destiny. The fortune teller said that he had a connection with metaphysics, Buddhism and Taoism. Later, he encountered a button that he couldn't untie. A master of spirit mediums from the north saved him from danger and helped him get into the spirit medium business and became a disciple of the immortals.

The master said that the immortals who can speak human language are all ancestors with hundreds of years of Taoism practice, and you may not meet one of them once in your lifetime.

Because ordinary mortals don’t have that kind of luck!

This time he really saw it, no wonder the fortune teller said he was a blessed man.

When Mr. Feng came, he just thought he was meeting a junior and didn't take it seriously at all, so he didn't bring any gifts. Now that he has met a senior, he can't be perfunctory.

He touched his sleeves and checked his belt. Apart from some large silver bills that were not presentable, the only things he had were the two walnuts in his hand that had some history.

Okay! Although this cat fairy is noble, he has never seen a cat that doesn't like playing with a ball.

"This is my first visit, and I don't have much to offer you. I'll give you these two walnuts as a token of my appreciation."

Xuan Yu looked at the round walnut that Master Feng placed in front of him and resisted the urge to fiddle with it.

It must be reserved and cannot do anything that would damage the image of the immortals.

"Second Master is thoughtful."

Ji Ruinian is a very particular person. When he came, he bought a box of golden fried fish strips at the market.

At this time, he picked up the small snack box and placed it on the coffin lid. The fragrant aroma could be smelled through the wooden box.

Xuanyu also thanked Mr. Liu.

The guests expressed that as the person who posted the message at Maoxiantang, Xu Qing should prepare a banquet and entertain everyone.

Here, Xu Qing led the two of them to the inner room. As soon as Mr. Feng entered the room, he saw a majestic rooster lying on the ground.

Hiss! This big red comb was as big as his palm, and the feathers were golden and red, smooth and delicate, as if he had played with them every day.

Look at that big comb tail, colorful, green and black.

This is not a chicken, it is clearly a work of art fired in a colored glass kiln!

"Brother Xu, please don't tell me that this is also the immortal you support."

"Not really." Xu Qing grinned, "This golden rooster was raised by my senior sister. She's just staying with me for two days."

It turned out to be a lineage of master-disciple relationship. Mr. Feng looked at his uncle whom he had raised. If he put his uncle on the scale, he might not be as heavy as the leg of the golden rooster in front of him.

"What kind of food does this chicken eat? How can it grow so big?"

Xu Qing smiled and said, "As the saying goes, beautiful birds appear among the peaks, and fragrant grass grows beside the pools in the deep valleys."

"This chicken is not from an ordinary family. It is a unique species that was born from scratch in the deep mountains and began to absorb the essence of the sun and the moon from the moment it was laid in its eggshell."

"You're talking nonsense. Could it be that my uncle suffered a loss because his shell wasn't grown in the mountains?"

Ji Ruinian beside him laughed and said, "What are you thinking about? Brother Xu's point is very simple. Some chickens are born extraordinary. You can't catch up by feeding them well or eating delicacies every day."

"Your uncle was born with bad character."

"Snake charmer, if you don't insult me ​​a few times a day, you'll die!"

These two are really noisy.

Xu Qing came to the second gate and greeted the embroiderer who was wandering around in the backyard. Seeing that Xu Qing came to "invite" her in person, the latter gave him a way out and forgave her for the time being.

When they arrived at the shop, the embroiderer cut the vegetables and arranged the dishes. In a short while, she had prepared a table full of delicious dishes.

Today, there is a 'Fengxian' in the fairy's house. The crooked-necked little phoenix and the boiled phoenix eggs must not be served on the table. Xu Qing can only prepare some offerings without taboos, such as yellow strips, glutinous rice, snowflakes, and red beam water.

In addition to providing food for the immortals, the embroiderer also came to Xu Qing halfway and asked him for money.

Xu Qing was talking enthusiastically with Ji Ruinian and didn't care at all. He just asked her to go to the counter to get some change.

When the embroiderer brought fried tofu, stir-fried vegetables, and cold peanuts to the inner room, Xu Qing suddenly came to his senses.

He hadn't been to the market today, and there were no ingredients in the shop. Where did this female ghost get these dishes?
Xu Qing suppressed his doubts and didn't dare to ask her in person. He decided to wait until the banquet was over before asking her.

"Brother Xu, remember to come to the Flower and Bird Market next time. I'll show you some fun things."

Ji Ruinian bowed and said, "I live in the willow dike. If there is a ship moored on the shore with a flag with the word willow on it, that is my residence."

Xu Qing smiled and saw the guests out. After the guests left, he turned around and went to the embroiderer who was controlling the water flow to wash the dishes.

"Where did you get the vegetables and oil for the banquet?"

The embroiderer was surprised and said, "Of course I bought it. Didn't you ask me to cook? I didn't have anything at home, so I paid half a tael at the counter. You know that."

"You, a ghost, went out to buy vegetables? Didn't you scare the vegetable seller to death?"

"That's easy. Just don't let her see. Just take the food, put the money down, and leave, right?"

When Xu Qing heard this, he realized that it made sense!
"Next time, I'll go buy groceries. Don't keep running off into the distance. If you run into an old Taoist priest with an ox nose or a bald monk, be careful, they'll kill you!"

The embroiderer chuckled and said, "I didn't go far. I bought the vegetables right across the street."

"?"

Xu Qing was just wondering if there was a vegetable vendor across the street when the owner of the incense and candle shop rushed in.

She looked at the young man standing alone in front of the basin and asked, "Brother Xu, did you just finish your meal?"

Xu Qing looked at the dishes that suddenly fell from the sky and could only silently catch them with his hands.

"Just finished eating, has Boss Cheng eaten yet?"

It would have been fine if Xu Qing hadn't said this, but as soon as he did, Cheng Caiyun was furious.

"I can't eat a single bite! I don't know which dishonest person stole the vegetables I bought. Although he kept some money, who knows what kind of wild man he is. If he doesn't steal vegetables one day, he will start stealing people in the middle of the night."

"I, your sister-in-law, am so ashamed to live!"

As Cheng Caiyun spoke, she began to wipe away her tears.

Xu Qing glared at the embroiderer who was watching the fun and not minding the trouble, and said kindly, "Boss Cheng, don't be afraid. Since that 'evil spirit' took the things and kept the money, it shows that she still has a sense of propriety and morality." "Then if he has evil intentions one day and bullies me, but leaves some money and runs away, would that also be considered a sense of morality?"

"."

Cheng Caiyun sat on a stool by herself and said, "My husband passed away early, leaving me as a little widow. A few days ago, a thief broke into my yard and stole the hundred or so chickens I had saved in the vat. Those chickens were saved for you, and I, your sister-in-law, have never forgotten the favor I promised you."

Cheng Caiyun said it lightly. If her eggs had not been lost, when Xu Qing asked her about it, she would definitely say that her chickens were afraid of cold and heat and could not lay eggs all year round.

Xu Qing glared at the embroiderer again and said, "Look at the good things you do, but they only cause me trouble."

This time the embroiderer refused to accept it. She whispered back, "Don't blame me. I didn't take her eggs!"

"Who's talking? Xu Xiucai, do you hear that? It sounds like a woman's voice."

"Boss Cheng, you're the only woman here. Where did the other women come from? You might have heard wrongly. As for what you said..." Xu Qing paused and said with a smile, "In our business, who would dare to come and cheat us on weekdays? We're not afraid of being tainted with bad luck."

As he spoke, Xu Qing took out a amulet from his sleeve and handed it to Cheng Caiyun.

"This is a peace amulet I got from a shrine. It's said to be very effective. Boss Cheng keeps it close to him. I think it can keep away scoundrels."

Cheng Caiyun took the talisman and looked at it from left to right as if it were a treasure.

Her face flushed, and she looked at him with a glance, "Xu Ge'er, you still know how to care for others."

"Speaking of which, I am twenty-nine this year. Although I am a little older, I am in good health."

Xu Qing realized something was wrong and immediately interrupted, "Boss Cheng, stop joking around."

Cheng Caiyun chuckled when she heard this and said, "I'm just kidding. Everyone knows that you have a beautiful wife hidden in your house!"

Xu Qing was puzzled when he heard this.

Who is hiding the young wife?

The embroiderer secretly spat when she heard this, thinking that she was the only girl in the shop, but she was not someone else's wife.

"What do you have to hide from me? Your senior brother brought people here that day, and I saw with my own eyes your young wife watching the store and talking for you."

"Why, Mr. Xu doesn't plan to call her out and let Auntie see her?"

Xu Qing immediately realized that the young wife was talking about Xuan Yu who possessed the female zombie.

Speaking of the female zombie codenamed Sun Erniang, she is still placed in the upright black lacquer coffin.

Looking at Xuanyu again, the cat was playing with the two walnuts on the coffin board.

Xu Qing retracted his gaze and said, "That should be my distant cousin. She is not with me now. Boss Cheng, please don't misunderstand."

"Cousin? Cousin, good thing. Good things should be kept within the family. Auntie is telling you, you must seize the opportunity. You can't let such a beautiful girl fall into the hands of outsiders."

"Otherwise, let's make it a done deal."

Xu Qing gritted his teeth when he heard this.

A cold corpse, even if he wanted to cook it, it had to be cooked.

As soon as Cheng Caiyun left the coroner's shop, Xu Qing handed the dishes in his hand to the embroiderer.

At night, Xu Qing, who had drawn a hundred fire-avoiding talismans, stopped with satisfaction.

After practicing for this period of time, he was able to draw the fire-avoiding talisman perfectly without making any mistakes.

In addition to the fire-avoiding talisman, he had tried to draw the peace talisman many times, but only succeeded once out of twenty times.

"The patterns on the peace charm are obviously more complex than those on the fire-avoidance charm. This requires careful practice and one cannot rush for success."

Xu Qing put down his pen and paper, called the embroiderer over, and said:

"I have a house near the Watergate Bridge, but it has been unattended. I will take you there today, and from now on you will be responsible for taking care of it on a daily basis."

"You don't have to bear any grudges. I have set up a formation in that house that can gather evil spirits. It is a treasured place for ghosts to practice."

"But I have three rules for you. No matter what you see me doing in the mansion in the future, don't ask me about it, and don't interfere. You just need to keep an eye on the mansion for me."

Xu Qing lit incense and candles, and formally became a member of the embroiderer's hall, allowing her to become the manager of a branch of the Cat Fairy Hall.

As for Xu Qing, he has always been the chief master of the Cat Fairy Hall, and Xuan Yu is the hall master.

After giving the instructions, Xu Qing followed the method of proving the mind taught by Hu Baosong, wrote the "Red Characters of Heaven and Earth" and asked the embroiderer to take an oath.

"Is this also something you must do to join the gang?" The embroiderer was in doubt after taking the oath. She could clearly sense that there was a great terror looming in her heart. If she violated the agreement, she would definitely be punished by the oath.

Xu Qing nodded seriously.

At four o'clock in the morning, the streets were quiet and deserted.

Xu Qing placed the bodies of Liu Cai and the other man into the box, and led the way to the Shuimen Bridge house with the embroiderer.

As soon as the embroiderer entered the house, her eyes lit up.

She floated around in the yard, breathing in the newly accumulated yin energy, and felt like she was in a fairyland.

Xu Qing let the embroiderer wander around the house while he took out the bodies of Liu Cai and the other man and continued digging holes and sowing seeds.

"Why did you bury the body in the courtyard? It's so scary! I'm afraid to live there too."

"Weren't these two people scared to death by you? You're still afraid."

Seeing that the embroiderer was about to speak, Xu Qing stopped patting the dirt and said, "When someone dies, it's important to bury them properly. They must be buried properly."

When the embroiderer heard this, she fell silent.

Only then did Xu Qing realize that the body of the female ghost in front of him had already been burned to ashes by her relatives, and no one knew where it had been thrown.

Early the next morning, a rooster's crow, loud enough to pierce the sky, suddenly rang out from the silent coroner's office.

Xu Qing, who had just returned to the shop, shuddered.

Roosters are naturally able to ward off evil spirits. As long as you hear the crowing of a rooster, the little demons and ghosts will stay dormant and stay indoors.

Xu Qing could be considered a great evil spirit, but he couldn't bear being howled at out of the blue.

When the golden phoenix flapped its wings for the second time and prepared to crow, a black shadow suddenly appeared behind it, and then it felt its neck being tightly grasped by a large hand like an iron clamp.

"Ah——" I can't breathe!

The golden phoenix began to flutter.

When the restraint on her neck disappeared, Jin Luan sneezed twice before she felt her breathing was freer.

"What are you howling about so early in the morning? Remember, you are not allowed to crow in front of me from now on!"

Jin Luan: “.”

As the sky was about to brighten, a female Taoist priest in a green robe arrived as promised.

When Jin Luan saw Taoist Master Yizhen, she surrounded her and called out to her like a child seeing an elder in the family.

Although Xu Qing had never used the animal language skill, he could still tell that the chicken was raising its hand to tell on him.

How cunning and treacherous are animals? It only makes people laugh.

He sneered and disagreed.
