Taishang asks longevity

Chapter 151
Li Changsheng didn't go after the evil spirit by force. After all, at this moment, what matters is that there are still Linglong among the dozens of corpses.

In the forest, after the thick fog dissipated, Li Changsheng and Linglong quickly walked out of the forest they had circled around just now.

Not long after, a small shop appeared in the line of sight.

It is the inn where the corpse hunters rest.

In the barren hills, there are quite a few small shops like this, which are specially used for the rest of the corpse hunters.

Li Changsheng looked at the night sky. At this time, the moon had already hidden in the clouds. He estimated that it was about four or five o'clock in the morning, and dawn would come soon.

"Let's rest our feet... Take a rest," Li Changsheng said.

Linglong nodded.

Li Changsheng asked Linglong to wait outside, and walked into the store by himself first.

The store was a bit gloomy, but there was no one in sight.

Li Changsheng walked to the table, touched the table lightly, and found that the top of the table had been wiped clean.

It seems that this is indeed a small shop, I'm afraid the shopkeeper is hiding somewhere to sleep!

"Is anyone here? Is anyone here..." Li Changsheng shouted twice.

"Yes... yes..." A hoarse voice sounded, it sounded like he had just woken up, with thick phlegm stuck in his throat, very awkward.

All I saw was behind the counter, a person rubbed his sleepy eyes, stood up, squinted his eyes, but looked at Li Changsheng.

"Wait first... I'll light a lamp..." the shopkeeper said, took out the kerosene lamp, struck a match and lit it.

The slightly dim light instantly illuminated the entire shop, which made it look a little more alive.

Only through the dim light did the storekeeper see Li Changsheng's face clearly.Of course, Li Changsheng naturally saw the face of this store clearly.

The store looked thin and bony, and his face was a little pale. In such a dark night, in such a weird place, it looked like a mummy.

But this store just looks like a mummy, not a mummy.

All I saw was the shop owner slowly coming out from behind the counter, walking up to Li Changsheng, and then looking outside the shop, presumably seeing Linglong and two rows of corpses walking side by side outside.

The shopkeeper seemed to be not surprised, and said slowly: "The one who chased the corpse?"

Li Changsheng smiled slightly and nodded.

"Look at you, you're quite young...and you're very young..." The storekeeper was a little puzzled, and mumbled.

Li Changsheng said: "Then can you accept this business? If you don't accept it, we will leave..."

"Pick up... pick up... wait for ten days and a half months before coming to your business, how could you not pick up..." The shopkeeper seemed to be complaining about the current downturn in business.

That's right, the industry of exorcising corpses is almost eliminated. How can this kind of small shop that relies on exorcising corpses still have business?
It's rare to wait here, regardless of whether he is a stranger or not.If it was changed to the past when the business was good, the store usually would not accept new customers. After all, the store is small and there are several groups of people, and the seats are basically full.

While talking, the shopkeeper looked at the two rows of corpses outside again, was stunned for a moment, and said, "You have a lot of corpses... how many corpses are there?"

"49." Li Changsheng said coldly.

The store owner was stunned for a moment, and a look of surprise flashed across his face. Fortunately, he was someone he had seen before, even though he was a little surprised, he quickly regained his composure, and said calmly, "That's it... I charge by the head here. "

Li Changsheng said indifferently: "How do you collect it?"

The shopkeeper said: "One hundred yuan for a living person, and 30 yuan for a dead person. In your group, how many living people? How many dead people?"

Apparently there were too many people coming at once, and the shopkeeper couldn't count how many people there were, how many people were alive and dead.

After all, it's the middle of the night, and it's dark outside, so I can't see clearly.

Li Changsheng smiled slightly and said, "The two are alive, and the rest are all dead."

"Yeah!" The shopkeeper nodded and said, "Go to the counter and pay the money first!"

As he spoke, he walked towards the counter.

Li Changsheng slowly followed behind him.

This small shop has not opened for three years, and it has been open for three years.Li Changsheng and his group were calculated to have a total of 670 yuan. In the past, they might not be able to earn that much in a month.Many corpse chasers, at most, only drive three or five corpses across the road. How could there be someone like Li Changsheng who drove 49 corpses at once?
The per capita income in this barren ridge is probably less than 1000 a month. This shop earns more than [-] in one trip, so I am naturally very happy.

After Li Changsheng paid the money, the storekeeper held a kerosene lamp and walked out of the store slowly to count the number of dead bodies.

"One, two, three, four..." The shopkeeper squinted his eyes, counted slowly, and counted twice in a row before nodding his head and saying, "The number is okay... let's go... I'll take you to the back room ...you put these dead people in the back room!"

Since such a small shop is in the business of exorcising corpses, the places to live in the shop are naturally divided into places where the living live and places where the dead live.

Although this small shop does not look big, it only has two floors, but there are two or three in the back room.

Generally speaking, the place where the dead live is very simple, as long as an empty room is enough, these corpses stand side by side against the wall, which does not occupy much space.

Li Changsheng went outside and shook the guiding bell in his hand.

bell bell bell...

The sound sounded, crisp and sweet.

Following the sound of the bell, the corpses began to jump, and followed Li Changsheng towards the back room.

When the corpses were introduced into the back room, Li Changsheng counted them again and made sure that the number of corpses was not small, so he was relieved.

"Don't worry, after the corpse is settled, I'll lock the door of the back room and leave the key to you... there's no need..." the shopkeeper said listlessly.

After all, many corpse hunters are so cautious, and the shopkeepers have seen many of them.

Generally speaking, in each back room, there will only be one corpse driven by the exorcist. Regardless of the number, as long as you enter the back room, the store will lock the door of the room with a big lock, and then hand over the key to the back room. The dead man himself.When the corpse driver leaves the store, the corpse driver will open the door of the back room by himself, and then return the key to the store owner.

In this way, there are only as many corpses as they enter the back room and as many corpses as they come out, so there is no possibility of any problems.

Li Changsheng followed the shopkeeper out of the back room, only to see the shopkeeper holding a big iron lock, an old style that would be eliminated in the city, locked the door, and handed the key to Li Changsheng.

Li Changsheng took the key, but didn't say anything.

After all, in such a small shop, it would be exhausting to get a lock. There is no electricity here, and there is no signal in the mountains. It is all on foot, and it is not easy to go out of the mountain to buy.
