Chapter 608 Can you drink Meng Po soup from the underworld? Just drink a glass of wine from the human world!
When the man's voice fell, the surroundings fell into silence again. I looked at the wooden door of the back hall with some suspicion, and saw that the wooden door was still tightly closed.
After seeing this scene, not only I, but even Mr. Wu and others felt puzzled.
Under normal circumstances, if a corpse-driving carpenter passes by this poison and wants to settle down here, after saying the incision, the owner of the Xishen Inn will also say a sentence. After the incision is made, after confirming that the person outside is a corpse-driving carpenter and is leaving, he will welcome the Xishen into the inn.
But what makes us feel puzzled is that as the man's voice fell, the wooden door of the back hall did not respond at all, as if there was no one in the back hall at all.
"What's going on? Could it be that... Ah Guo fell asleep?" I frowned and looked at Mr. Wu, but Mr. Wu shook his head at me, signaling me not to act rashly and to wait and see what happens first.
Time passed by minute by minute, and at this moment, the Xishen Inn was dead silent. Only the sound of our rapid breathing due to nervousness echoed in the inn.
About a minute later, the low knock on the door rang again. This time, it was still six knocks. Then, the man's low voice came from outside the door again: "The sky will not take it, the earth will not keep it, I come from the east and go to the west and return to the east. Today I will borrow your store and put the gold bricks in your cabinet."
This time, the man's voice rose a few centimeters and his voice was louder.
As the man's voice fell, rustling footsteps were heard in the back hall, and then there was a creaky sound, and the wooden door of the back hall was pushed open.
When the wooden door was pushed open, we saw a hunched old man walking out slowly with an oil lamp in his hand. He first glanced at us, grinned strangely, then coughed. As he walked towards the door of the inn, he said in a hoarse voice: "The sky will take away, the earth will retain, things will come from the east and go to the west and return to the east. The dead will turn into a golden brick and be put into my cabinet today."
As the old man's hoarse voice fell, he also came to the door of the inn. However, he did not rush to open the door. Instead, he stood in front of the door, staring at the door with a dark look, and asked again in a low voice: "Is it Mr. Yu who came?"
"It is Mr. Yu who came." A low voice sounded outside the door.
The old man continued to ask, "Can you drink Meng Po soup from the underworld?"
The people outside the door answered without hesitation, "Only drink a glass of wine from the human world."
As the man's voice fell, the old man did not hesitate any more, directly opened the bolt and pushed the wooden door open.
With a 'creak' sound, the wooden door was finally pushed open slowly, and a ray of gray moonlight shone in.
When the wooden door was opened, we squinted our eyes and stared at the wooden door.
When the wooden door was fully opened, I immediately saw the scene in front of the wooden door with the help of the moonlight.
I saw a man standing in front of the wooden door, wearing a black nightgown and a Dou-Hat hat. The Dou-Hat hat was so big that it cast a shadow that almost completely covered the man's face. I could only see his piercing eyes in the dark.
However, my eyes only swept over the man's body, and then my eyes fixed on the figure behind the man.
It was a figure wearing a white shirt and white pants, and the gender could not be seen. The white shirt and white pants looked extremely eye-catching in the dark night, just like a shouyi. One look at it made me feel flustered.
And on the top of this figure's head, he was also wearing a Dou-Hat hat, and a light veil was hung on the hat, covering his entire face, making it impossible to see his true appearance.
"Why is there such a strong smell of corpse?" I frowned, looking solemn.
This corpse in white clothes and white pants just stood there, and the corpse smell emitted from it actually caused chaos in the surrounding Qi field. What is the origin of such a corpse?
"The corpse smell is so strong, it seems... it is not a normal death!" I said secretly in my heart.
"Senior Aguo, I haven't seen you for a long time. I hope you are well." The man standing at the door spoke in a calm voice.
Hearing this, Aguo grinned and then said, "It's been a long time since we last met. Let's invite the God of Joy into the cabinet first."
The man nodded, and then he took out a talisman paper and pasted it on the forehead of the corpse. He pointed his sword finger at the corpse with his right hand and muttered something.
After a few seconds, the man whispered, "Celebrate the God of Joy entering the cabinet. Get up!"
As the man finished speaking, the corpse really moved.
The corpse stretched its hands straight forward, and its body was as stiff as a piece of wood. It jumped forward with all its strength.
With a muffled "bang", the corpse fell heavily to the ground. Then, the corpse jumped again and was about to jump over the 30-centimeter-high threshold of the God of Joy's Guest House.
The reason why the threshold of the God of Joy's Guest House was so high was to prevent the God of Joy from being frightened and running away. In addition, zombies often appeared in the Xiangxi area in ancient times, and this threshold could also prevent the zombies from jumping in by themselves.
At this moment, the God of Joy jumped hard and was about to jump over the threshold, but perhaps its body was too stiff, or perhaps the corpse chaser was not skilled enough, so the corpse did not jump high enough, and its toes hit the threshold with a "bang".
This kick directly caused the God of Joy to tilt his body, and then fell straight forward.
After seeing this scene, my heart instantly rose to my throat, and Nangong Xiayu, who was standing next to me, could not help but let out a cry of surprise.
Not only us, but also the corpse-driving craftsman's expression changed. He hurriedly took a step forward and stretched out a leg in front of the God of Joy at a very fast speed. After the God of Joy hit his leg, he suddenly lifted his leg and gently hooked it with his toes. The God of Joy, who had lost his balance and was about to fall, stood up again.
The man let out a long breath, then looked in the direction of us and asked in a deep voice: "Why are there still strangers?"
"Haha, a few young men who are taking a break. Don't worry, they won't disturb the God of Joy." The old man said with a smile.
The man didn't say anything, but just squinted his eyes and looked at us. Then, he walked behind the God of Joy and whispered: "Excuse me."
After that, he stretched out his hand and hugged the waist of the God of Joy, and lifted it up with force.
It can be seen that the God of Joy seems to be very heavy. The man used a lot of strength, but he could only lift the heels of the God of Joy, and the toes were still hanging on the ground.
The man held the God of Joy and suddenly jumped forward with both feet. The toes were very accurately placed under the heels of the God of Joy.
Then, he was seen holding the God of Joy and jumping hard, and actually took the God of Joy with him and jumped into the God of Joy's inn.
