Chapter 183 The Weird Lake
The middle-aged woman glanced at Xia Le, even when facing Mr. Luo, who was respected by everyone else, her tone was quite harsh.

"Hmph, what's the use of being married? Everyone is dying! Although he is young, Sigui, who sells goods in my family, is dead, and Uncle Qin, who drives the bus, is also old. There are not two shops open on the street. How can the bank be opened again? Let those outsiders come in? Every two years this town will be flooded!"

"Jiang's sister, don't be so aggressive. It's because it's difficult, so we have to help him."

Old Liu, the hotel owner, said to the middle-aged woman with a smile.

"Strange Lake is almost out of control. After the bank is opened, the tricky money can flow as soon as possible, and it will be suppressed for a few more years. We don't want the town to be flooded by the lake."

"Humph."

The middle-aged woman snorted coldly and said nothing.

She took off Xia Le's coat, revealing the shroud underneath.

At the same time, she took off a piece of clothing on her body, and put this quite rural green women's dress on Xia Le directly.

Xia Le's face turned green.

He really wanted to break free, but seeing that the expressions of other people were normal, he just stood there without moving.

Not long after, when the middle-aged woman took off Xia Le's clothes, the word "Shou" on the shroud on his chest was changed to the word "Qian".

This dress also didn't look like a birthday robe, but more like the clothes worn by many shopkeepers in the movie.

At this time, the middle-aged woman also took back her clothes and put them on herself.

After waiting for a while, old He, the soul caller, strode over.

He looked sad and sighed to several people.

"There are only so few people in the town that can move."

Luo Lao froze for a moment, then shook his head slightly.

"Now that everyone is here, let's go."

In Xia Le's view, this town is like a cultivating sect.

In order to cultivate immortality, only these few people from the entire sect died, which once again demonstrated the degree of danger of this road to immortality.

Hearing what Luo Lao said, Lao Liu said.

"Old Luo, there are too many of us, and a boat at the ferry might not be able to sit."

Old He, the soul caller, frowned slightly, and didn't think it was a problem at all.

"Then go to the paper-making shop and buy a boat. The money shop has reopened, and we can all exchange strange or special items for money. I will pay the 3 yuan."

After finishing speaking, Lao He walked to the paper-making shop beside him.

Old Liu was taken aback for a moment, and complained a little speechlessly.

"I didn't say that I don't want to pay. Now that the bank is open again, I can save the coffin faster. Lao He, you are really old. If you are so old and still so anxious, you won't learn from Luo Lao study."

After a while, Lao He walked out of the paper-making shop.

A group of people walked out with Xia Le who didn't know anything.

Lao Liu explained to Xia Le with a smile.

"Young students, that's the thing. Decades ago, before I was born, Lao Liu, there was a very powerful senior who built a lake here, and he was able to sink the ghost into it. Several other seniors were responsible for it. Caretaker. Slowly, a group of seniors, including Mr. Luo, got together and simply established a market, where everyone exchanged what they needed, and it was called Taiping Town."

"Taiping Town was still lively more than 20 years ago. Only as time passed, some seniors encountered difficulties and closed their shops, and some seniors were about to die, and they wanted to suppress other places, so it became deserted. "

"It's the lake we're going to now."

"This lake was pretty good at the beginning. After a lot of things sink in, you can't get out. But it's like a bucket full of water. You keep throwing pebbles into it, and one day the water will flow. Come out. A small area of ​​Taiping Town has been flooded by the lake, and the lake has flowed to other places along the river."

"Before, we couldn't deal with these tricks, but now we have you. You can turn those tricks into money. This is equivalent to taking out the stones in the bucket and curing the lake so that it can be recovered again. Use it for a few years, shut it down more."

Hearing what Boss Liu said, Xia Le realized one thing.

"Uncle Liu, is there a lot of weirdness in this world?"

"Don't call me Uncle, you have to respect me and call me Old Brother Liu."

Boss Liu smiled at Xia Le.

"Before, the older generation was suppressed, and there were not many who could run outside. But now that the older generation has passed away, some of our generation and juniors like you have also suffered, so it is inevitable that some people cannot be suppressed I ran out. Your generation just happened to encounter a supernatural explosion, and many people need to stand up."

"It's a big deal for you to reopen the bank. It means that you are one of the people who stand up, and you are the mainstay."

Xia Le also knew that reopening the bank must be a big deal, otherwise there wouldn't be so many cultivators running out.

However, these immortal cultivators do not call themselves immortal cultivators, but masters of cunning.

In front of a ferry, Xia Le saw a hazy light slowly floating over from the river.

When the light got closer, Xia Le found that it was a black ferry boat with an oil lamp on it.

Lao He didn't get on the boat, but took out an origami boat the size of a palm from his pocket.

He lit the boat with a match and tossed it lightly on the lake.

But in an instant, the boat was just like the paper man before. It changed from a paper boat to a large wooden boat with a length of more than ten meters, which was much larger than the small wooden boat next to it.

"Go, get on board."

Lao He said so, but Luo Lao shook his head slightly and said.

"I can't lack people there, so I'll go back first. You guys pay more attention to Xiaoxia."

Old Liu said quickly.

"Mr. Luo, walk slowly, we will help."

After Mr. Luo left, the group boarded the boat.

Although there were only five people present, the draft of the wooden boat was not shallow, as if it carried many people.

Boss Liu did not know where to take out an oil lamp and light it up. It looked very similar to the oil lamp on the black ferry, and it was placed in the middle of the boat.

He smiled at Lao He, the soul caller.

"Look, I'm not reluctant, why don't I take out the oil lamp and use it?"

Old He was too lazy to talk to this guy.

Originally, the ferry was not wide, but when the wooden boat was lowered, it almost filled the river.

But soon, as it went downstream, the river grew wider on both sides.

There was a faint mist on the river.It's okay within the range of the oil lamp, but it's almost impossible to see the surroundings outside the range, and it's foggy everywhere.

Not long after, the boat floated to the second ferry.

Xia Le guessed that there should be many such ferry crossings, just like the bus platform of the previous bus.

However, this wooden boat was bought by Lao He, so it did not dock at the new ferry.

Xia Le felt that if it was the black wooden boat just now, it would have stopped, and it might be like a bus, with other people or tricks going up and down.

Slowly, the surrounding river channel became wider and wider, and finally the boundary could not be seen at all.

This is not like a river, but a lake.

Xia Le felt that they should have reached their destination.

This lake is very quiet, the lake is pitch black, and it is impossible to see anything underwater.

But when the wooden boat was driving, it could occasionally hear the sound of bang bang, as if it hit something.

"Here we are, let's get started."

Lao He looked at the lake below with his very special eyes, and said to Xia Le.

"The old man asked you, so I called you Xiaoxia. We fished you out of the lake, and then it's up to you. The money you make is yours, and it's our congratulatory gift to Xiaoxia for you to join Taiping Town."

"That's so funny."

Hearing that, Xia Le laughed until his gums showed.

What a shame means that of course it is a shame!

The middle-aged women took off their clothes one after another, tied up the sleeves of these clothes, and quickly made a clothes rope that could be thrown from the boat into the lake.

This rope was handed over to the shameless man, who then threw it directly down the line like fishing.

But what they catch is not fish, but tricks.

Behind the shameless man, Lao He and Boss Liu were on the alert, staring at the rope.

Soon, the rope held by the faceless man trembled violently, as if a fish had been hooked.

The shameless man pulled the rope with both hands to prevent it from falling off the boat. At the same time, Lao Liu put his hand on the shameless man's shoulder.

Slowly, a female corpse in torn clothes and disheveled hair climbed from the lake to the boat along the rope.

And not just female corpses.

In this dark and strange lake, several corpses seemed to see a life-saving straw when they touched the clothes rope, and they would not let go, and they climbed up the rope to the boat.

"Xiao Xia, go!"

Xia Le took two steps forward, and pressed the head of the female corpse who had climbed onto the boat.

But the quality of this female corpse is very average, and it is only worth two yuan.

The female corpse suddenly disappeared in Xia Le's hands, and two copper coin-shaped patterns appeared on Xia Le's arms.

With four seniors watching, Xia Le's situation is very safe.

He sent one after another to indescribable and elusive places, and exchanged them for money.

3 yuan, 3 yuan, 4 yuan...

Slowly, Xia Le has more and more money in his hands.

After more than two hours, Old Liu gasped.

"It's too bad, it's too bad, I have to rest for a while. The Jiang family's sister's clothes are also changing."

Together with the shameless man, he fished the clothes out of the strange lake.

Xia Le solved the two tricks that climbed up the rope, and got another 4 yuan.

The middle-aged woman untied the rope of the clothes with a gloomy expression, and wrung out the clothes one by one beside the boat.

At this time, Xia Le discovered that these clothes were not clothes at all, but twisted into twists one after another.

He counted the harvest just now, and the trick money in his hand added up to 58 yuan.

Boss Liu sat aside, looking at the stack of banknotes in Xia Le's hand, enviously.

"With so much money, the coffins are enough to buy three. Old Liu, my biggest wish in this life is to buy a coffin, three incense sticks, two bright candles, a bowl of rice, and a grand funeral. Xiao Xia Brother, you have earned a lifetime's worth of money in just one night, and you can retire in retirement."

"Go! Don't put your tricks on others."

Lao He glared at Boss Liu angrily, and took out a mirror to take a picture of Xia Le.

"Look carefully at yourself. The money is good, but it's not without cost."

Xia Le took the mirror and took a look at her face, and her expression changed drastically the next moment.

Compared with the young man before, although he is still a young man now, he is 5 years older!
Obviously he is only 22 years old this year, but he looks like he is almost 30 years old!
"This Qian Gui's lifespan is not deducted, but directly counted as age and added to me? If I didn't pay attention and exchanged a few hundred yuan in one breath, would I become an old man?"

Xia Le's heart went cold.

"Fortunately, fortunately. Although I am 5 years older, the problem is not serious. It's just that I must pay attention to it later."

"You take the money, it's enough to open the bank for the time being. Mr. Luo and I will contact some old friends to help you think of a way."

Lao He took the mirror Xia Le returned and comforted him.

"Outside there is an organization called Interpol, which is considered to be the headquarters for dealing with ghosts. If you encounter them, you can ask them. Today, more than 20 ghosts were caught, and almost all the first floor was fished. Don't worry about the Sly Lake getting out of control."

Xia Le was surprised when he heard this.

"Only half a year?"

Seeing this, Old He smiled sadly.

"Xiaosheng, do you think this lake is very simple? It is divided into several layers of water, and the lower ones are more treacherous. We just fished the top layer. Alright, let's go back."

Standing at the bow of the boat, Lao He didn't know what method he used, a gust of wind appeared out of thin air, and the whole wooden boat started to turn back.

On the dark surface of the lake, Xia Le watched the river on both sides become narrower and narrower, and finally returned to the ferry in Taiping Town.

After several people got off the boat, Lao He tied the wooden boat to a wooden post at the ferry, and several people went back to their respective homes.

But not long after, when the sun was setting, Boss Liu came to the bank.

"Brother Liu, you are here to send me business."

Boss Liu nodded and smiled.

"Yes! This bank has been closed before, and I haven't been here for many years. Now, brother Xia, you have opened the bank again. Of course, I will come to take care of you, brother."

He looked at the beautiful paper figurine next to him who was wiping the counter with a rag, his eyes lit up, he gave Xia Le a club-like smile, and gave Xia Le a thumbs up.

"Brother Xia understands it very well! It's a pity that I am too old to bear it, otherwise I would have to buy such a paper doll. Unlike my shop, there is only one old paper doll that has been used for more than 20 years."

Walking into the store, Boss Liu put several small things on the counter in a loud voice, and smiled at Xia Le.

"Brother Xia, show me how much these things are worth."

Xia Le looked intently, and there were three items on the counter.

One is a black lacquered ring, the other is a scarlet jade bracelet that looks like blood, and there is a small bone that looks like a phalanx.

Xia Le would definitely not understand if he came by himself, but the money in his body does!

Once he gets started, he will understand what these three things are useful for and how much they are worth.

Yin stone ring: can resist 1 spiritual attack, worth 1 yuan.

Blood Jade Bracelet: A replica of a certain bracelet, which can reliably absorb blood to resist spiritual attacks, worth 2 yuan.

Hit the strange bone: Throwing it can attack the supernatural, worth 1 yuan.

After seeing these three things, Xia Le has a bottom line in his heart.

To be precise, these three things are not bad, and they can all play a role in the trick.

He thought Boss Liu was trying to cheat him out of money with a shy face!
