Chapter 5 The rules of worry-free living(1/2)
"So crazy!"
The middle-aged man stood under the plaque of "Wuyouju", chewing the couplet in front of him word by word, and couldn't help but be amazed.
This couplet uses simple and not profound words, but the sarcasm and jokes in it are profound and revealing the weirdness of the world.
In a vague way, he seemed to see a lonely soul who was alone outside the world and watched the crowd coldly.
"There is indeed a strange man hidden in the downtown city!" The middle-aged man couldn't help but feel a little more confident about the purpose of this trip, but at the same time he became more and more cautious.
Strange people always act weirdly, and when dealing with them, you must be extremely careful.
"Go up and knock on the door!" The middle-aged man signaled.
"Yes, lord!" The servant on the side responded and stepped forward.
But the closer he got, he felt a stream of inexplicable cold air seeping out from behind the closed door, and unconsciously his palms were covered with sweat.
The servant just raised his hand and hadn't knocked it down yet.
"Squeak!" With a strange sound, he was shocked and jumped backwards.
"Master, be careful!"
"What are you panic!" The middle-aged man said in a deep voice, staring at his eyes tightly, and saw Wuyouju's door automatically open, but no one was seen.
It was clear outside that it was daytime, but it seemed dim and unclear inside, and there was an indescribable coldness, like a dragon's and tiger's den, and it should not be entered lightly.
"Gudong..." The servant beside him swallowed instinctively and kept retreating.
"So it's a distinguished guest coming! Mr. Guo, please come in!" A gentle chuckled.
But when September is still hot, the master and servant can't help but sweat.
The door of Wuyouju is open, and he looks like he is asking you to get into the trap.
The middle-aged man waited to be where he was, and his mind was in chaos.
How did the owner of this Wuyouju know my name?
The more I thought about it, the more frightened he became, the more serious his expression was.
He asked himself that he had never had any interaction with this Wuyouju, and even heard of the name of this Wuyouju, it was still the case in recent days.
Did the other party have long predicted that he was coming today and would be ahead of him?
He couldn't help but be startled by his guess.
But there is no connection between causes and consequences, and this is the only possibility.
It's so weird before I get started.
Although I have been inquiring about this Wuyouju for a while and have learned a lot, I thought I had enough defense, but now it seems that it is still too hasty.
The middle-aged man could instinctively think of retreating, but the troubles in his mind were urgent.
He still gritted his teeth and stepped forward.
"Master!" Seeing that the servant was about to follow.
"Idle people are not allowed to enter!" Another chuckle.
boom!
The door closed with a bang, and the servant could only watch his master disappear into the darkness.
After entering the house, the middle-aged man discovered that although the house was claustrophobic, the air was not dull or dim.
There are red candles in every corner, and the air is filled with a faint and lasting fragrance.
The window paper is snow-white, with birds, orcs turning like flowers, and the pavilions are clearly visible.
Within a room, there are all fireworks on earth.
There is indeed a unique mystery in Wuyouju!
The middle-aged man secretly called himself a strange man, and his tone was even more solemn, "Baozhitang Guocheng, I have heard of the name of the owner of Wuyouju, so I'm here to visit me!"
This sound seemed to break the silence in the house.
Slap sex...
"What sound?" Guo Cheng's pupils dilated and he looked up in surprise.
The roof was dark and could not be seen clearly. I could only see countless small figures standing upside down on the roof and running quickly on the beams.
Hehehehe...
There were even laughter coming from all directions, only hearing the sounds, not the person.
The coolness suddenly dripped from head to toe all over my body.
"Is this the beam of Wuyouju's house? This is more than just absurdity, it's simply terrifying!" Guo Cheng wiped the cold sweat from his head, and showed a smile that was even worse than crying.
"Haha, how long has it been?" The voice of a calm man sounded at this time, overwhelming all the abnormal noises.
"Isn't it said that the owner of Wuyouju is a young man? This one is..." Guo Cheng was shocked again.
After being shocked again and again, he felt that he was almost numb.
But when he heard the other party’s replies, he felt bad again.
Have you heard of a great name for a long time?
How long has it been...
It is said that the owner of Wuyouju acts in a voluntary manner, and today he has seen it.
"It's been a while!" Guo Cheng replied vaguely, and then turned to the topic: "It is said that Wuyouju has always been used to relieve people's worries, which makes people worry-free, and is famous in the west city of Luojing. Today I am here because I want to ask for something!"
"Say!" the child's crisp voice.
How many masters are there in Wuyouju?
Guo Cheng was startled and replied calmly: "Three days ago, my father passed away. But for some reason, the sound of wolf howlings sounded every day and night around the house. Some people even saw someone standing a wolf shadow and peeking at the tomb of my father's coffin at night. The seventh head was coming, but I was afraid that my father would not be able to fall into the soil for peace, so please ask the master of Wuyouju to take a trip here!"
That's all.
Dingding Ding Ding...
The sound of fingers knocking on the table deep inside the house seemed to be thinking.
"If a wolf looks back, it is either repaying his kindness or taking revenge!" This time, the response was the voice of a hoarse old man.
"Although Wuyouju can solve danger, he was just dealing with ordinary strange things before, but this time he had to face the legendary monster, just..."
Guo Cheng became anxious when he heard this.
Extraordinary things, extraordinary people are necessary.
When the man and wolf peek at the corpse, the reputation of the Guo family's medicine shop will be destroyed.
I have found many so-called strange people before, all of whom are ugly.
This Wuyouju is his last hope.
"Master Wuyouju, as long as you help me this time, no matter how big the price I can afford, I am willing to pay!" Guo Cheng said anxiously.
Wuyou lived in the house for a brief moment and returned to silence
Guo Cheng was waiting anxiously, but deep in the room was a different scene.
"Zhuang Ke, Zhuang Ke, this is a sucker! You can't let it go!" At some point, Ah Qing came to Zhuang Ke's back, and gold coins were pounding in his eyes, "With money, you can eat all kinds of delicious food. Donglaishun's roast duck, Xilai Le's braised lion head, Haiba Fresh in the palace imitation meal...sigh..."
At the end of the day, a trace of crystal clear appeared on the corner of her mouth.
"Ahem! Ah Qing, please calm down!" Zhuang Ke coughed a few times and glanced at him, "How do you say it? What a sucker, this is my distinguished guest in Wuyouju!"
Then he did not rush to speak, but calmed down.
He accepted various mysterious events with Wuyouju, and thus used the painted leather scroll to absorb the extraordinary characteristics, to make painted leather and refine his own shadow puppet "secret recipe". This is the best practice technique he has figured out over the years.
After the incident of the Pear Garden's shocking dream, I was only one step away from entering the Tao and entering the extraordinary.
This man and wolf peeped at the corpse just happened to happen.
Thinking of this, he chuckled, and as he spoke, it turned into a woman's joke.
"The guest misunderstood! What I want to say is that you have to increase the money!"
"As long as you are willing to take action, this matter is simple!" Guo Cheng was overjoyed when he heard this and responded without hesitation.
"Haha..." the laughter responded, and the voice changed again.
"Disciple, don't answer so quickly! You still need to be clear that I am doing nothing and have three rules. You need to know! In order to avoid the guest repentance at that time!"
"Please say it!" Guo Cheng didn't care and showed a clear smile.
A strange man?
He had expected this when he came.
"The first rule is that I am not allowed to receive a deposit without worries. Regardless of whether it is successful or not, I must pay the full amount in advance. The less you make up for the more, and you will not refund it! Usually, it is five hundred taels of silver at a time, but this time it will double, a total of one thousand taels!"
"This is simple!" Guo Chengcai said generously and smiled even more vigorously.
