Taishang asks longevity

Chapter 152
"Come on, I'll take you to the guest room where you live..."

After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he suddenly remembered something, turned his head, looked at Li Changsheng, and said, "By the way... your partner who is traveling with you seems to be a woman, right?"

Li Changsheng was startled, but nodded, and said, "Not bad."

The shopkeeper frowned and said, "Then how many rooms do you want? Two? You need to pay extra..."

Li Changsheng smiled slightly and said, "One room is fine."

"Oh!" The shopkeeper nodded thoughtfully.

The guest rooms in the small shop are on the second floor, and there are not many guest rooms on the second floor, only four rooms in total.In other words, even if this small shop is full of customers, there are only four rooms.

After all, in the wilderness, the business of exorcising corpses, even though it was prosperous before, did not have as much business as imagined. There are indeed quite a few villages in the mountains, but it is not necessarily true that the family members of those who died outside have money to hire them. I have to drive the mortician to drive the corpse.

In the past, it was at least something that only those in the village who had a lot of money could afford.

Moreover, generally speaking, morticians go out at night and stay in small shops for only one night, and there is no such thing as a long-term residence. Therefore, it is enough to prepare four guest rooms for such a small shop. .

It's just that most of the corpses are men, and it is rare for women to accompany them, so the store asked an extra question how many rooms they want.After all, the business was in a downturn, and it was only Li Changsheng's business. If he could earn more, the shopkeeper naturally wanted to earn more.

The door of the guest room was pushed open, and there was a "squeaky" sound, as if waking up the whole night.

The shopkeeper grinned and explained: "It's been a long time, and this house is getting old. I'm thinking about doing it for a few more years... I won't do it... You two will live here for a while!"

Li Changsheng nodded, and entered the house with Linglong.

Although the room is not big, it has everything you need, and it is very complete. The table is spotless. It seems that the store is busy on weekdays and cleans very diligently.

There are actually two small beds in the house, enough for Li Changsheng and Linglong to rest.

"After walking all night, you must be tired too, so go to bed earlier... Take a good night's sleep during the day, wake up and ask the store to make a good meal, and we will go on the road after eating." Li Changsheng said lightly.

After hearing this, Linglong gave a coquettish smile, went to the bed and got down, rubbed her legs, and said, "This mountain road is indeed difficult...my old cold legs... can't take it anymore..."

The two washed up for a while, changed into new clothes, and each lay down on their own beds.

After all, when traveling in the mountains and forests, the humidity is very heavy. After walking down overnight, there is a lot of dew on the clothes on the body, which has already been wet. If you don't change your clothes, you will easily catch cold.

The two lay down and tossed and turned, but they did not fall asleep.

Outside the house, the sky was already dim, and the morning sun penetrated the thick mist and shone into the mountains and forests.

The dappled sunlight jumps over the eaves and window sills, piecemeal.

Linglong, this little girl, didn't make a fuss. It seemed that she was tired all day, and she was not in the mood to tease Li Changsheng. After tossing and turning for a long time, she fell asleep.

Li Changsheng, on the other hand, never fell asleep.

In fact, he is not tired at all. A practitioner's body function is much better than that of ordinary people. Even if he does not sleep for three days and three nights, he will not feel too tired.

In his mind, he kept thinking about what happened last night.After all, it was only the first night, and there was an incident of amputation. Now that there are fewer and fewer people chasing corpses, it stands to reason that the business of amputation will be less and less. Why is it only the first night, so bad luck Met him?

Although he didn't know who the other party was, Li Changsheng was full of doubts, wondering whether he and Linglong had been targeted since they entered this barren hill.

These 49 corpses are not a small number. If they are intercepted, there is no guarantee that something serious will happen.

Thinking about it, outside the room, there was a faint voice of talking.

Although the voice was soft, Li Changsheng could hear it clearly.

It was the voice of the shopkeeper and some strange men.

"It's weird... why are there so many corpses today..." the shopkeeper seemed to be a little muttering.

No, another group of corpse chasers came outside, led by three middle-aged men, who looked serious and had sharp eyes.

When there is no such business, it will not happen once in ten days and half a month, and once it comes, there will be two businesses.Although the shopkeeper was muttering, he was very happy in his heart, after all, he was going to make money again.

Three middle-aged men were driving five corpses.

If it was in ancient times, it would be considered a very rare thing. After all, five corpses would not require so many people. Generally, one corpse driver is enough, and one person can be added at most.Generally speaking, the master leads the apprentice, so there will be a team of two.But for the five corpses, three exorcists came.

The shopkeeper doesn't care about so much, after all, staying in a shop is calculated on a per-person basis.

"Yo... so it's Mr. Jia! Who am I? But I haven't seen you for a long time... I thought you didn't do this job anymore..." the storekeeper said with a smile.

Dare to feel that this store actually recognizes these three people.

Among the three, the person called "Jia Ye" said calmly: "Put these five corpses away first... shopkeeper...you get something to eat...then arrange a room."

"Okay, okay..." the shopkeeper said quickly, and then asked again: "Master Jia, where did you get rich a while ago? I heard people say that you haven't been seen in the village yet."

"A friend in the city has something to do, I went to help for a while, no...something happened to someone in the village, the village chief specially asked me to bring this dead man back, otherwise... I didn't plan to pick him up This work... After all, I am getting old, and doing too much work will affect my lifespan."

Master Jia's voice was rough and old, but when he spoke, he was full of energy.It can be seen that although he is old, his body is still very strong, better than ordinary young people.After all, when I was young, I often did this business of driving corpses. After walking a lot of mountain roads, my body is naturally strong.

"So it's like this... Okay... let's get down to business first, and just rush the corpse to the back room." The shopkeeper said.

After a while, Li Changsheng heard the voices of several people again.

I only heard that Mr. Jia seemed a little puzzled, and asked, "Are there other corpse hunters?"

The storekeeper grinned, nodded, and said, "I don't know what kind of wind is blowing today, and they all bumped into each other, but... these two people, a man and a woman, are both young people, but they have very good faces."

"Fresh?" Master Jia was taken aback.

In the barren hills, there are not many people who can pick up corpses, and they all know each other.

The shopkeeper said that the noodles were fresh, so naturally they were not the original people.

The shopkeeper lowered his voice and said, "That's right... I haven't seen these two people before...but..."

"But what?" Master Jia continued to ask.

The shopkeeper said: "But...their work is not small?"

Master Jia frowned slightly and said, "What do you mean?"

"Two people... 49 corpses..." The shopkeeper made a gesture.

A look of surprise appeared on Master Jia's face.

A corpse exorcist who can expel 49 corpses at once?And still young?
Don't say that it is the current era when the corpse exorcism industry is in recession, even in ancient times, I have never heard of anyone who has the ability to exorcise 49 dead bodies.
