Queen of Nongmen: Hexagrams determine the universe

Chapter 136

"Okay," Xue girl nodded, "Lan'er, are you tired from the journey? Come in and drink some water and eat some fruit."

"No, I'm still in a rush to go back to town," Lan'er shook her head, "I'll have to sell dinner for the evening, and the shop won't be too busy."

"Okay, then I won't keep you," Xue Yatou glanced at the two guys in the main room, "You guys go together."

Zishi, Qinghe County.

The long wind washes away, and the moonlight is quiet.

On the empty streets, there is only the distant sound of bells.

Jujube flowers sway slightly on the bluestone floor with a lingering fragrance.

Ye Qiongdan carried a small burden on her back, walked to a restaurant on jujube flowers, and raised her head slightly.

On the plaque of the restaurant, there are three characters engraved - Bazhen Tower.

"Brother, wait for me outside," Ye Qiongdan said in a deep voice, "I'll come as soon as I go."

"Be careful." Ye Qinghan said worriedly.

"It's just to set up a small formation, and it will be ready soon," Ye Qiongdan said with a smile, "When the formation is completed, the things I promised and manage will be done, and from now on, in Qinghe County Here, the business of Bazhen Building may be difficult to surpass that of Quanfu Building."

After all, she stretched her green clothes slightly, and climbed up to the window sill on the second floor like a light swan goose.

The window on the second floor was closed, and there was only an inch of space for her to step on. Ordinary people would fall and break their bones, but she quickly stepped on the wall from the window sill on the second floor as if walking on flat ground. Climbing up the slight bulge, it climbed over the third floor in a short while, and disappeared in Ye Qinghan's sight.

Ye Qinghan became nervous, his eyes were as cold as frost.

A quarter of an hour, in his case, was stretched as long as an hour.

He remained motionless, staring closely at the height of Bazhen Building, as if he was about to solidify into a sculpture.

The copper hourglass in the restaurant makes regular water sounds, tick, tick, tick...every sound indicates the passage of time.

Finally, after a cup of tea, Ye Qiongdan landed steadily in front of him, like a blue water bird skimming the water, calm and calm.

"It's done!" She let out a long sigh of relief, and took his hand, "Brother, let's go!"

Ye Qinghan clenched her hand, a hanging heart, finally let go at this moment.

After walking away, she relaxed and said, "Brother, do you know what is the most famous dish in Bazhenlou recently?"

"It's the 'Sanyang Kaitai' invented by Fu Guanshi." Ye Qinghan has always focused all his attention on her, so how could he not understand her opponent?

"That's right, it's 'Sanyang Kaitai'," Ye Qiongdan nodded, "Brother, do you think this dish is humane?"

"But diners flock to it."

He grew up in the dark since he was a child, and he didn't have much feeling for the word "humanity".

He only knows that he is doing his best and using all means just to survive, and only by being cruel to others and even more cruel to himself can he walk this way of life step by step.

At that time, where did he think about "humanity"?

There is no humanity at all in the palace full of ghosts and monsters and the filthy big family.

"But it is inhumane," Ye Qiongdan said solemnly, "We are no strangers to the dish of roasted whole lamb. On the basis of roasted whole lamb, Fu Guanshi asked people to pick up an ewe that was pregnant with twins. In June, the ewes were beaten to death with sticks. First, the meat can be kept firm by beating. Second, the lambs in June have already developed and have the best taste, but isn’t it against the harmony of nature? ?”

"And so on, there are boiled live cats, air-dried chickens, and live donkeys... These dishes are only available in Bazhenlou in Qinghe County, and they were added by Fu Guanshi," Ye Qiongdan continued, " Once these cruel 'special' dishes are added, do you think those slaughtered livestock have any resentment after death?"

"So, Adan wants to use their resentment?"

"That's right, I set up a four-element Yin gathering array in the back kitchen of Bazhen Building, and there will be a good show tomorrow," Ye Qiongdan sighed, "All things have spirits, and it's not just people who die. After that, you will become a ghost."

Yinshi, the backyard of Bazhen Building.

A Chang, a day laborer who lives in the backyard, had a nightmare in the middle of the night. After waking up from the dream, he was so frightened that he couldn't sleep.

He rubbed his eyes and sat up on the bed.

Suddenly, he heard a crisp chewing sound in the yard, as if he was gnawing on something like vegetables.

Is it a mouse?
He suddenly wanted to go to the latrine, so he polished a candle with a flint and held the candlestick and pushed open the door.

The dim light illuminates some hazy ewes. These ewes are chewing vegetables piled up in the yard. It seems that there are one, two, three...

No, why are there dozens of ewes with big bellies?

This dish of Sanyang Kaitai requires ewes with twins to be roasted, but such sheep are not easy to find. Therefore, this dish needs to be ordered in advance at Bazhenlou. When will this dish be ready? , and there is no definite number.

Are you dazzled?A Chang reached out and wiped his eyes.

In front of him, there were still more than a dozen ewes standing, as if they couldn't see him, they were still eating the vegetables in the yard.

Achang raised his head and looked at the opposite wall, only to see that there were only shadows of vegetables whose leaves were constantly disappearing on the wall, but no shadows of goats.

"what--!"

Achang screamed in horror, and the candlestick in his hand fell on the wooden corridor.

……

So, just after dawn, this matter spread to everyone in Bazhen Tower, and everyone became panicked.

The shopkeeper of Bazhen Building summoned all the clerks, helpers, and cooks... In front of them, he grabbed Achang by the collar and said with a sneer, "Ghost? I only heard that people turn into ghosts after death, and sheep die. Turn into a ghost in the end? This is simply nonsense!"

"But there was heavy night dew last night, and there were many sheep's footprints in the yard. Judging from the bite marks on the vegetables, they were indeed bitten by sheep." Someone said weakly.

"Dead people have never seen food, dead sheep can still eat vegetables? Isn't this a fantasy?" The shopkeeper glanced at Achang, "In my opinion, you are the spy sent by Quanfulou, trying to play tricks, Ruin the reputation of our Bazhen Building!"

"I don't have it, shopkeeper! Everything I said is true, and there is absolutely no falsehood!" Achang quickly defended himself.

"No? Our Bazhen Building has been open in Qinghe County for so many years, has there been any creepy news? How come the back foot of our Bazhen Building started to be haunted as soon as the front foot of Quanfu Building became popular?" the shopkeeper said coldly. He said in a loud voice, "Come here, withhold his salary for this month and drive him out of Bazhen Building!"

"I really don't have it! Shopkeeper! Just believe me once, what I said is true!" A Chang shouted anxiously.

But the shopkeeper didn't believe it at all, with a livid face, he scolded the others: "If someone pretends to be a fool, we will end up with him!"

All the people who were anxious by him nodded their heads submissively.

"Let's all take their places and perform their duties!" The shopkeeper said with a cold face.

"Ka——" Suddenly, there was a crisp sound of chopping bones, and everyone turned their heads in shock.

The chef who was in charge of slaughtering the ewes fell to the ground, with a sharp bone knife stuck in his leg, and the gurgling blood gushed out frantically. He crawled back in horror and shouted: "Ghost! There is a ghost! Ah—! Don't—! Don't come here!"

"What's going on?" The shopkeeper of the restaurant hurriedly pushed aside the crowd and walked over.

The chef's slack pupils finally gradually focused.

His face was pale, and he said with trembling lips: "Shopkeeper, help me! Help me! There is a ghost! There really is a ghost! Just now, I saw a blood-covered monster standing under the next table. , a disemboweled ewe, it stared at me with an extremely resentful look, it even jumped on my leg, and started biting frantically! I... I had no choice but to grab it A kitchen knife, I cut it on the head! But my knife clearly... clearly passed through its head, why did it cut on my own leg?"

"Nonsense!" The shopkeeper clenched his fists, trembling with anger, wishing to chop the person in front of him a few more times. If Bazhenlou's reputation fell further, he would not even think about securing his position as the shopkeeper. Therefore, He gritted his teeth and reprimanded, "You also want to learn from Achang, don't you? You can't stay in Bazhenlou anymore, right? Okay, then you pack up and leave!"

"The shopkeeper! There is a ghost! There really is a ghost!" The chef yelled in horror.

But how can the shopkeeper believe it?He immediately ordered someone to drag out the cook who had always been responsible for killing the ewes, and threw him outside the backyard door.

After two incidents happened in succession, the entire back kitchen was silent. Everyone thought that it was summer, but the whole Bazhen Tower felt strangely cold for no reason.

"No one is allowed to speak out about these two things!" The shopkeeper ordered sharply.

Everyone who was summoned to give a lecture nodded quickly.

However, the weird and terrible things did not end there.

Someone ate at Bazhen Building, and suddenly felt a little unwell after eating, and ended up vomiting out a pile of uncooked raw minced meat, which was still mixed with blood, which looked extremely disgusting.

But when the guest turned his head, he found out what kind of delicious dishes were served by Bazhen Building?
It was obviously some uncooked raw meat!

Soon, this incident became a big issue in Bazhen Building, the shopkeeper quickly apologized to the customer, and fired several cooks who were in charge of this table of dishes, and the customer left feeling a little unlucky.

In the middle of the night, someone got up again, and as a result, they heard the howls of some tragically dead animals in the yard. Those howls mixed together, making one's scalp numb.

This time, not only the people who lived in the backyard of the Bazhen Building heard it, but also the families living in the backyard of the shop next to the Bazhen Building heard the scream. go back to sleep.

The next day, someone reported this matter to the shopkeeper, but the shopkeeper still thought it was someone pretending to be a ghost, and just ordered everyone not to spread this matter to the outside world.

In the Bazhen building, everyone who knew about this matter nodded their heads, but unexpectedly, before they spread the matter, at noon, the cook who was in charge of making the dish of boiled live cats suddenly went crazy up.
