Chapter 182 Taiping Town and Paper Dolls
Regardless of whether Xia Le listened to Mr. Luo or this Granny Meng, the Qian Gui in his body seemed to be powerful and important.

So how terrible is the longevity that can be compared with it?
Based on this curiosity, Xia Le asked Luo Lao.

"Old Luo, tell me about Shou Gui."

"Shou Gui."

Luo Lao thought of Lao Chen who was buried in the grave by himself, and said.

"Although this Shougui does not have a guild, it can take the lifespan of others. It happens to be the nemesis of us people. At that time, we thought that to control it, we needed to fight against the power of life-snatching, but later found that it was just the opposite. When Shougui was controlled, it turned out I will turn back all the time I have captured."

"Turn back in time?"

Xia Le was dumbfounded.

This kind of thing can be done, and you still say that this is not cultivating immortals?
"Yes."

The old man sighed.

"At that time, there were two people who tried to control Shou Gui, but they were both regressed back to the appearance of ordinary people, and then killed by Shou Gui. Only Lao Chen was able to consume so many lifespans, and he tried his best to suppress Shou Gui. So It's a pity for us to say that Lao Chen is a pity. His money trick is really powerful! It's just that Lao Chen's money trick will shorten his life, and this life trick will reverse his life, and the two collide with each other to suppress each other, maintaining an extremely weak balance so that Lao Chen can neither use Qian Gui's power nor Shou Gui's power."

The old man glanced at Xia Le and warned.

"If I live longer than you, old man, I can still see you off. But if not, then when you reach your deadline, remember to open up Lao Chen's grave, control the longevity inside, and then lie down by yourself, but You can't let Qian Gui do evil against your corpse."

Xia Le nodded heavily.

"I understand."

It is self-evident how powerful a trick can turn other tricks into money.

If such a trick goes outside, many people will definitely die!

As the bus passed by one stop after another, people got on and off the bus one after another.

Granny Meng also got off at a previous stop.

After sitting in the car all night, when it was dawn, the bus finally stopped in an ancient town.

Luo Lao stood up from his seat and greeted Xia Le.

"Get out of the car, we're here."

After Xia Le got off the car, he found that this was an ancient town, and there were still many tourists in the town, which looked lively and peaceful.

This made Xia Le sigh with emotion that he had lived like this a few days ago, but suddenly he started cultivating immortals.

Although this road is very dangerous, as soon as you come up, you only have three months to live, and you have to exchange your life for money.

But no matter what, after embarking on the road of cultivating immortals, he has completed the leap from ordinary people to superhumans.

That's right!Although Luo Lao said several times that this is not cultivating immortals, Xia Le thinks this is cultivating immortals!

At best, it is an extremely cruel way of cultivating immortals.

After all, Shou Gui could turn back time, and he said he wasn't cultivating immortals?

Following the old man turning left and right in Taiping Ancient Town, Xia Le crossed a bluestone bridge with a small river flowing below it, and walked into a bluestone road.

This road is very quiet, many shops are closed, and only three tourists are here.

On the ancient street, Xia Le saw a stall for buying masks.

There are many masks on the stall, but there is no boss guarding them, and the price is just written on the stall.

3 yuan for 1 piece, 7 yuan for 3 pieces.

Xia Le touched the 3 yuan money in his pocket, and immediately understood that the money here actually refers to trick money.

The three tourists are two middle-aged people and a little girl who seems to be about ten years old. They should be a family.

Most of the surrounding shops were closed, but the little girl was very moved when she saw the colorful masks on the booth.

She happily ran to the booth, looked at these masks and did not leave.

The middle-aged couple smiled and followed the little girl.

"No boss? Forget it, it's not expensive anyway."

The little girl's mother touched the little girl's head and smiled at her.

"Lingling, which mask do you like?"

Hearing her mother's words, the little girl's eyes lit up, and she pointed to a monkey-like mask and said.

"Mom, I want this little monkey!"

"Okay, Dad will buy it for you!"

Just as the middle-aged man took out three coins to pay, Xia Le stood up.

"Wait, the money asked for at this stall is not ordinary money."

Hearing what Xia Le said, the middle-aged man seemed to think of something, and his face changed slightly.

"Black talk? It's the same as betting on stones. One means 1 yuan? I didn't expect this kind of tourist area to use such a method!"

He quickly put away the money in his hand, and said to the little girl with a bad face.

"Lingling, can we not buy this mask? Dad will take you to a big meal."

The little girl was very well-behaved, even though her parents backed down, she didn't make any noise like a brat, she just nodded.

"Good dad."

Watching the three of them leave the old street, Mr. Luo glanced at Xia Le and said nothing.

If Xia Le didn't remind, then the family of three would have taken away the masks without paying, and they would be dead tonight.

Following the old man, Xia Le walked into an ancestral hall-like house on the old street.

The two had just entered the door when an old voice came from within.

"Who?"

Old Luo said.

"it's me."

"Roger?"

The people inside looked very surprised, and walked out of the mourning hall.

This is an old man in his 60s who looks slightly hunched over in a black gown.

One of his two eyes was blind, and it was pale inside, and there seemed to be something jumping in it.

Seeing Xia Le and Luo Lao, he said in surprise.

"Old Luo, what brought you here? Are you here to buy a new coffin?"

Old Luo shook his head.

"Old Chen's Qian Gui was born later. I'll take him to the town to have a look and find a way to reopen the bank."

"it is good!"

The blind old man's expression suddenly cheered up, and he smiled at Luo Lao.

"Mr. Luo, you also know that the lake has begun to get out of control. If we can get some money, we can suppress it again. Otherwise, the whole town may be flooded."

"That's why I brought him to reopen the bank. Xiao He, go and call everyone who is still alive in the town."

Mr. Luo introduced Xia Le.

"This is the soul caller from Taiping Ancient Town. You can call him Lao He. This is Xia Le. I'll take him to the bank first. Xiao He, you can just bring someone here."

"it is good."

Old He nodded towards Luo Lao, but Xia Le didn't dare to call that directly, but said respectfully.

"Senior He."

When the spirit caller Lao He went to call other people on the street, Luo Lao took Xia Le and walked a few steps to a shop with a closed door.

There is also a signboard hanging in front of this shop, with a big word "Qian" written on it.

Luo Lao pushed open the door of the shop, and a heavy musty and dusty smell came from it.

Xia Le looked at the shop and found that its structure was very simple.

This front room is a bank.But it is said to be a bank, but in fact there is only an old-fashioned brown wood counter with some shelves behind the counter.

The back room is the place to live, with a nave, a side room, and a small kitchen for cooking.

Next to the kitchen is a pressurized well that is common in rural areas.

Looking at the surroundings, Mr. Luo sighed with a hint of memory in his eyes.

"This bank has been empty for nearly 40 years. Besides the bank, it also serves as a pawn shop. Many of us never imagined that the bank would still be open in our lifetime."

He glanced at Xia Le and warned.

"The money comes from the bank very quickly, but it consumes your lifespan. Lao He and I will also try to find a way to stabilize the money in your body as soon as possible. If you feel that something is wrong in the near future, you can go to the place where we just got off. The bus. It’s just that no one is driving this bus now, and the passing time is uncertain, and sometimes you have to wait for two days.”

"Let Xiao He take you to get to know everyone during the day, and at night we will take you to that lake to fish some tricks to make money. Since we are pressing the lake, we must get you some funds. The bank can't do without funds. By the way, I will teach you some rules."

However, Xia Le knew that the power of Qian Gui could not turn Gui into money, but a means of exchange.

After his exchange, these ghosts didn't know where they went, and at the same time, they didn't know where someone would send the trick money to him.

To be precise, this Qiangui should be called Danggui.

I don't know if Mr. Luo didn't know about it, or that old Chen was hiding something?

Xia Le was fainted by Luo Laomi before, and he would not believe his words completely, let alone tell this matter.

In Xia Le's view, rather than saying that Qian Gui and Shou Gui cancel each other out, it is better to say that there may be too much money that Shou Gui can pawn, and it cannot be pawned over there, and it cannot be collected, so it must be kept in Lao Chen's hands.

Old Chen put a lot of money in his hands, making Qian Gui as if his computer had crashed, so he couldn't use Qian Gui's power.

After Luo Lao sighed, he took Xia Le out of the bank.

"Come on, I'll take you to buy a paper doll that can be used to clean up the place."

At this time, Xia Le discovered that all the closed doors of the surrounding shops were actually unlocked, as if they were not afraid of thieves coming to steal things at all.

The two walked a few more steps and came to a paper-making shop.

Luo Lao pointed to the two paper figurines, one black and one white, at the door and said.

"The things here cost 3 yuan each, you go and buy a paper doll to use."

Looking at the two paper figurines, Xia Le felt that they were very ordinary and did not conform to her own aesthetics.

He walked into the store and took a look. Obviously no one was watching the store, but there was a voice lingering in it.

"Buy one, 3 yuan each."

When Xia Le just walked into the store, a paper figurine suddenly walked out from the pile of paper figurines.

It was a beautiful paper figurine, with a smile on her snow-white face, long black hair brushed aside, a slender waist, and a blood-like blush on her face.

She has both a sense of beauty and a sense of weirdness, which makes Xia Le's eyes shine when he is an artist.

"Okay, that's her."

Xia Le took out a green 3 yuan bill from his pocket and put it on the counter, and the paper figurine followed him out of the store.

Behind him, the paper man had a beautiful smile on his face, as if he was very happy that someone bought him.

Seeing that Xia Le bought such a paper figurine, Luo Lao shook his head slightly.

"This is for you to buy a handyman, not a wife. Young people are young people, so don't be afraid of the Tao."

After buying the paper figurine, Xia Le didn't know how to use it.

Back at the bank, he tried to talk to the paper figurine.

"Clean up here."

The paper figurine stood there, motionless.

When Xia Le didn't know what to do, Luo Lao stood up.

He struck a match and threw it at the beautiful paper figurine.

With a sound of Feng, the beautiful paper figurine turned into a real beauty in the flames.

Big breasts and thin waist, white skin and long legs, not only shoulder-length, but also a charming fairy face.

Xia Le gasped.

"Otaku Gospel, this is it!"

Looking at this beauty, Luo Lao, who no longer had that worldly desire in his heart, said to Xia Le.

"You can use it now. Boy Xia, remember that this is a paper doll! You can play with it, but don't really treat it as a daughter-in-law."

The expression on Xia Le's face remained unchanged, but he gave instructions to the paper figurine.

"Go clean up."

"Yes, Master."

With a soft Wu Nong accent, the big beauty transformed into a paper figurine lowered her head, picked up the broom on the ground and started working.

Xia Le didn't know if it was because he started cultivating immortality, he obviously only ate two steamed buns last night, but he wasn't very hungry overnight.

But out of habit, he still planned to walk out of this street and go outside to eat something.

Thinking of this, Xia Le asked Luo Lao.

"Old Luo, do you want to eat?"

Old Luo shook his head slightly.

"I won't eat. Go and eat by yourself and come back after eating."

Carrying the bag, Xia Le walked out of this ancient street and found a restaurant to eat.

He talked to the shop owner and took out his phone to charge it.

After turning on the phone, there was no acquaintance looking for him on the phone, only two harassing calls.

When the shop owner brought a bowl of noodles, Xia Le tasted it, and frowned on the spot.

This noodle is just like the steamed bun last night, it tastes weird.

But Xia Le knew that this was not a problem with the face, but a problem with himself.

After eating noodles, Xia Le bought some daily necessities, and then returned to the bank.

He watched the paper man busily sweeping the floor, wiping the table, mopping the floor, cleaning everything inside and out.

Mr. Luo took a stool and sat in front of the bank, basking in the sun with his eyes squinted, while singing opera.

Seeing Xia Le come back, the two of them waited not long before a figure appeared from the end of the ancient street.

He is tall and tall, but the clothes he wears are old-fashioned.

But the most important thing is that this person is as faceless as the three paper-money-covered ghosts that Xia Le met before!
"Is this also a trick?"

But when he approached, Luo Lao introduced to Xia Le.

"This guy has lost his face and name, you can just call him whatever you want. This is Xia Le, the new owner of Qianzhuang."

Seeing the shameless man nodding slightly to him, Xia Le yelled although it felt strange.

"senior."

Not long after, another old man wearing a cloth hat, who looked to be in his sixties, with a wrinkled face came over.

"Mr. Luo, I heard from Mr. He that you were here, so I hurried over from Xincheng District and didn't even care about the business in the store."

He had a smile on his face, and he looked like a businessman.

"This is Xia Le, right? She looks talented at such a young age, she really deserves to be the new owner of the bank."

Luo Lao reached out and pointed at this man, and introduced him to Xia Le.

"This is Old Liu, the owner of the hotel in the town."

Xia Le cried.

"Uncle Liu."

Not long after, another middle-aged woman with thick clothes and a fierce expression came over.

Obviously, the weather is not considered cold, but she seems to be wearing more than a dozen clothes on her body, and she looks bloated.

Luo Lao introduced Xia Le again.

"This is Xiao Jiang, the daughter of the old tailor Lao Jiang, who married into our Taiping Ancient Town from outside. Xiao Jiang, please change the clothes on this young man, and change the character for longevity into the character for money."
