97, Chapter 97 (1/2)

"You said that mint leaves... can they be lit?" Yuan Yuanyuan asked Liu An across from her.

She suddenly remembered this at noon today, but she had been living in the north for many years and had never seen such a thing as mint leaves.

Now there was only her and Liu An in the room. She suddenly remembered this in her mind just now, so she asked him.

Liu An held a pile of clothes in his hand, looked at Yuan Yuanyuan and said: "Yes, the mint should be able to be lit after it dries."

"Then can it be smoked?" Yuan Yuanyuan suddenly became excited and sat up to ask Liu An.

"Smoke?" Liu An's expression suddenly became subtle.

"That thing will emit black smoke when it is lit." He finally said with a complicated tone.

"Oh..." Yuan Yuanyuan sat down a little disappointed, thinking that it seemed that it could not be smoked.

In Yuan Yuanyuan's life, mint usually appears with hard candy, chewing gum and wet wipes... I don't know why this thing gives her a very cool look.

[To be honest, I have been using it recently, both Android and Apple are available. 】

So just now she subconsciously wondered if mint could emit a minty smell when lit...

Liu An looked at the boss who sat down again, wondering what he thought of mint... Isn't that a plant?

He felt like yawning as he walked, but quickly held it back.

Although this was his first time working, he performed better than some people who had worked for several years.

Working two jobs at the same time, although the boss was easy to talk to, it was also a back door. If you show a little tiredness, you will probably be abandoned.

When he was in the Taoist temple, if he accidentally yawned, the senior who led the group would immediately stop his action and let him leave immediately.

Although Liu An is no longer a Taoist priest in that Taoist temple, some habits are still engraved in his bones.

When he just held back the yawn, he suddenly remembered some things in the past inexplicably, and lowered his head again, looking at his military coat and big cotton shoes.

...After a while, he shook his head and continued to pack his clothes.

Although the money here is small, there is one advantage -

This is one of the few "haunted houses" nearby, and there are not many monsters coming. For him at the moment, he really can't find a place more suitable for him than here.

He sorted out the clothes one by one. Although the boss didn't take care of these clothes, he still insisted on tidying them up from time to time. In fact, he had seen from these days of tidying up these clothes that this boss was indeed not as harmless as he seemed on the surface, because many of the materials on these clothes were very shocking.

It was like a heavy black gown. At first, he didn't see anything wrong, until one day he accidentally touched the buttons on it, and his hand shrank because of the cold temperature on it.

He distinguished for a long time before he found that the buttons that looked shiny and round were actually the bones of some monster...

The buttons were white, with a hint of yellow, and they felt icy cold to the touch. He only touched it once and felt that half of his palm was frozen numb.

Although this thing looks very lethal, Liu An can imagine without looking at it how important it is to some ice-related monsters.

However, such a powerful thing is now placed in a small clothing store that no one comes to patronize.

After that, Liu An observed other clothes from time to time. Some of the clothes that looked very ordinary had some very scary things on them. The more Liu An looked, the less he could see the strength of this boss, so he no longer simply thought that this boss was just a clothes seller like he did when they first met.

The scavenger is actually a very magical job. In this position, you can see many things that you can't see during the day.

However, those who do this job are also some very poor monsters, and there are monsters from all walks of life. On the first day Liu An arrived here, he found that all the monsters except him looked ferocious. One of his buddies was even more ridiculous, with four or five scars on his face.

Although he was wearing a military coat, Liu An, who had a white and clean face, looked like a pretty boy standing inside.

They came here for various reasons. They were all monsters living on the back of this city.

When Liu An came out of the alley with the body bag on his back on the first day, he happened to see a little monster child being led by her father towards him. As soon as he looked over there, the child next to him suddenly cried and was out of breath.

Her father also saw Liu An. He squatted down and picked up his child, and instantly covered his child's eyes.

Liu An stood at the intersection and suddenly didn't dare to go out.

When the father and daughter walked a long way, he slowly pulled out the bag, carried it on his military coat, and walked forward step by step, with a slight bend in his waist.

He walked through one street, then another, and kept walking on the small road. In fact, when he walked on the street, he had something that could cover his body, which was distributed by the scavengers. Humans couldn't see him and the things he was carrying, only monsters could see him.

However, he still walked along the path, trying to avoid humans and monsters, and finally carried the body bag back to the place.

He was the last one to come back that day, and he came back late, so when he was holding the body bag over, the recording monster looked up and his eyes were so cold that it looked like it could skin him alive.

Liu An looked at the monster's eyes and slowly clenched his hands in his pockets, because he was a little afraid that the monster would really do this.

However, he seemed to be lucky today. The monster just looked at him coldly for a long time, and then slowly put a big cross on his name.

Liu An looked at the fork and took a deep breath.

So the next day...he learned to walk on the road carrying a body bag and ignore the eyes around him.

The monsters around him were like hiding from the plague when they saw him. He lowered his head and quickly passed through the monsters.

The main road is the best and easiest place to walk. There are no twists and turns and the road is very flat.

After Liu An worked for three days, he felt that he was no longer afraid of anyone's eyes, and that he could transcend to the point of soaring...

Sometimes, he was wearing a military coat and carrying a body bag, and was avoided by those people. Suddenly he recalled that when he was wearing a neat snow-white robe, standing on the cliff with his head held high and watching the sunset, he always felt something in his heart. A strange feeling.

Yuan Yuanyuan wanted to take a look at anything related to cigarettes these days when she saw them, and she felt as if she was possessed by a demon. The way Sister Lizi looked at her, she smiled and asked her what had happened recently.

Yuan Yuanyuan didn't say anything. She tried many things, such as kerosene lamps that could emit smoke, incense burners, cigarettes, and even humidifiers... but none of them satisfied her.

Cigarettes are actually the most ideal target, but unfortunately Yuan Yuanyuan insists on not smoking. So she wanted to try if she could replace the shredded tobacco with something else to simulate the effect of cigarettes. That's why she asked Liu An if she could light mint at noon today.

The effect of this thing is really the best. Even if it is not from the perspective of size and ease of carrying, just from the perspective of camouflage... Especially when you see a person fighting with a humidifier or incense burner, everyone will pay attention. On those two things.

In other words, cigarettes are small in size and very easy to disguise. No one will pay attention to them when they are taken out, so there is no possibility that anyone will find out that they are deliberately making cigarettes.

Yuan Yuanyuan looked at the incense burner in the tavern. She had been adding incense to the burner for a while. There were various types of incense, but Yuan Yuan Yuan had never asked about their specific types.

In fact, the incense used in the tavern is all top quality, and each name is different. Unfortunately, Yuan Yuanyuan is not very good at understanding these profound things, so even though she has been working for so long, she still cannot distinguish their names. .

Yuan Yuanyuan has recently been fascinated by incense...no, smoke. She squatted in front of the incense burner and asked Sister Lizi behind her, "Sister, what is the name of the incense we burned recently?"

Sister Lizi turned around and took a look and said to Yuan Yuanyuan: "This is blue smoke incense. I got it recently in the winter. It is good for the body after smoking it."

"...is there any benefit?" Yuan Yuanyuan raised her eyebrows.

"That's right, haven't you noticed that your demon power has increased a lot recently when you've been in the store?" Sister Lizi said, "It's because of this incense. It's hard to find this incense. Some places don't allow it. Our store It’s because it’s famous that I dare to use it.”

"Oh, that's it..." Yuan Yuanyuan lowered her head and continued to look at the stove.

"No, you've been making incense for so long... and you still haven't figured out the type of incense?" Sister Lizi came over with a shocked look on her face.

"No, I will order whatever you tell me to order. Every time I grab a handful, I will leave." Yuan Yuanyuan said.

"... Then you are also a god. Many monsters can't get the job of lighting incense. When you first came here, I asked you to light incense for Sister Xue's sake."

"Isn't it just a little fragrance... I would rather hide in the back kitchen and wash the cups." Yuan Yuanyuan said.

"Idiot, come here." Sister Lizi looked at Yuan Yuanyuan with a look of disgust on her face and raised her index finger at her.

Yuan Yuanyuan leaned over, and Sister Lizi grabbed her ear and whispered into her ear, "Lanyanxiang is actually Yaozhu powder."

The wind itched around her ears, but Yuan Yuanyuan didn't care. She opened her eyes wide, turned to look at Sister Lizi, and said, "Fuck, Hao Wu..."

"Stop talking and keep your eyes shut." Sister Lizi pinched Yuan Yuanyuan.

Yuan Yuanyuan looked at the smoke in the stove over there. To be honest, she really didn't expect this thing to be so popular. Although she didn't know how to use the monster bead, a soybean-sized monster bead could make a little monster Under the protection of the big monster, he lived for a month.

This tavern has to burn through almost a box of incense a day... Oh my god.

A box of incense, a box of incense, a box of incense...

Yuan Yuanyuan was hit hard by the rich man, and she was confused all day long. When she returned home, she even lost interest in dinner...

Of course, she only has instant noodles at home.

Yuan Yuanyuan turned over in bed, thinking about not going back there to take a look. In fact, Liu An left food for her every day. It would not be bad in this weather if it was placed outdoors. She had a stove and The pot can be heated slightly.

Liu An can be called an all-round assistant. During the day, he goes to the vegetable market by himself and buys the freshest vegetables. He spends very little money. The house must be tidy before leaving at night. Yuan Yuanyuan feels that she It’s embarrassing to have such a small salary.

She recited the magic formula silently in her heart, and suddenly disappeared into the air, leaving only a faint red smoke...

In another place, a middle-aged man and an old man looked at each other.

"I'm really sorry for calling you here today." The older man said softly.

He looked very peaceful, with a sense of peace that only the elderly could have.

Opposite him was a middle-aged man who looked very dignified.

"If you are here for the recent wanted order, I don't think you need to pay too much attention. We have made sufficient preparations, and we will target any Taoist priests who appear recently." The middle-aged man said with a smile, His laughter sounded very hearty.

"However, I still feel embarrassed that I need to trouble you to take action on these matters, but this is really not a suitable place for our Li family to take action." The old man said.

"It's okay, I also have some good impressions of Yuan." The middle-aged man said with a smile, his expression was inexplicably fascinated, "A very powerful big monster, now that such a big monster can appear again, really It’s very difficult, and maybe it’s a good thing for us in the demon world.”

The two chatted happily, drinking and drinking together. After about an hour, the middle-aged man got up and left the place.

There were leftovers on the table. The old man, who had always spoken very gently, looked at the leftover wine on the table, gently picked up the cup, and poured himself another cup.

This time, he drank very slowly, as if he was savoring the taste of the wine.

After a glass of wine, only one person knows the ups and downs.

He put down his wine glass, looked at the sunset outside, and sighed softly. In the setting sun, his waist seemed to be more hunched, and his beard became more gray.

He was suddenly talking to himself in a quiet room.

"Yuan, Yuan, why didn't you die cleanly back then?"
