24 Sending a talisman for protection

At this moment, Grey Hundred Warehouse seemed to remember something and came back to kowtow to me, "I will remember this favor. In the future, whenever you need Grey Hundred Warehouse, just use this to call me, and I will do whatever it takes."

He added, "We animals are different from humans. We keep our promises."

I looked and saw that he was holding a small gray object, the tip of a tail?

Cheng Xinghe chimed in, "It's a spirit talisman."

The so-called spirit talisman is a part of the body that a spirit uses as a token, given to the master it has recognized. That is to say, with this tail tip, I am the master of Grey Hundred Warehouse, and whenever I call him, he must come immediately!

Usually, spirit talismans are taken by exorcists after subduing the spirit, but it's unheard of for a spirit to willingly give its spirit talisman.

Animals always know how to repay kindness better than humans, even Grey Hundred Warehouse is the same.

At this moment, I heard a groan behind me. It was Huihui waking up.

She rubbed her eyes in a daze, looked at me, and said, "Beidou, why did you come?"

Huihui had finally returned to her normal state.

I finally breathed a sigh of relief. When I turned my head, Grey Hundred Warehouse had disappeared, and the triangular face was also gone - no, my sharp eyes saw a large snake with a brown body and yellow flowers, as thick as a tree trunk, coiled under the eaves, with a triangular head.

I asked Huihui if she had any impression of a snake.

Huihui looked a bit puzzled but still told me that one winter, she went to Yangshuiping to play and saw a hibernating snake being dug out of the field, covered in wounds from a hoe, but it was still alive, so she applied medicine to the snake and caught mice to feed it. Her friends laughed at her for not understanding the story of the farmer and the snake, but she said foreign snakes are different from Chinese snakes.

Later, when spring came and the snake recovered, it left on its own, and she never saw it again. She asked me why I was asking about this.

Yangshuiping again?

I saw the big snake shaking its head with the corner of my eye, knowing that the triangular face didn't want me to reveal her secrets, so I made some excuses. At this moment, Grandma Wu came back. When she saw that Huihui had recovered, she hugged Huihui and wept for joy, asking Huihui to kowtow and thank me together.

I quickly said that I couldn't accept it. At this moment, I saw Cheng Xinghe staring at Huihui and her grandmother, looking very envious.

By the way, he seemed to have no parents either, just like me, an orphan with inauspicious stars, or even worse than me - maybe he didn't even have an elder like my old man.

When we came out of Huihui's house, I saw the triangular face waiting at the alley entrance. When she saw me, she wanted to kowtow and thank me, but I waved my hand and said it was unnecessary - I actually admired the triangular face for her loyalty and righteousness. Even though everyone knows that the favor of saving a life is greater than heaven, how many people would protect their benefactor with their lives like the triangular face?

At this moment, Cheng Xinghe nudged me and said, "Xiao Ge, this snake is seriously injured. Why don't we..."

That's right, her seven-inch mark was slit open by Cheng Xinghe and then tormented by Grey Hundred Warehouse, which was very dangerous. At this moment, she seemed to be unable to stand and slid to the ground.

I immediately went to support her and protected her wound, asking Cheng Xinghe to take out some Yunnan Baiyao again. But Cheng Xinghe shook his head and said, "It's not that I'm stingy, but her wound won't be healed by Yunnan Baiyao."

The triangular face panted and said, "I appreciate your kindness, Xiaojinhua, but without the dragon pearl, I won't survive until sunrise..."

It was already early morning, and the summer days were getting longer. The clouds in the east had started to turn red. The dragon pearl had been swallowed by me, and I couldn't spit it out either! But at this moment, I saw that her wound seemed to have healed a little.

Cheng Xinghe also noticed it and immediately asked, "Xiao Ge, do you have something on your hand?"

What could I have on my hand... But when I looked down, that's right. My head had been knocked three times today, and there was a lot of blood on my hands, including my own bloodstains!

I reacted quickly. Since the dragon pearl had been swallowed by me, would my blood work? Anyway, it was worth a try, so I cut open a wound on my hand and squeezed the blood into the triangular face's wound.

Did you know this text is from a different site? Read the official version to support the creator.

Sure enough, the triangular face's wound closed at a visible speed. It really worked!

Cheng Xinghe gave me a thumbs up and called me the number one healer in China, but I kicked him in the leg.

The triangular face looked at me with a complex expression and murmured, "It was really you who stole the dragon pearl..."

Caught red-handed, I couldn't help but admit it, stubbornly saying that it was an accident. Then I remembered that Huihui said the triangular face was saved in Yangshuiping, and the triangular face stole the dragon pearl from the Nine Ghosts压制Coffin. Was she related to Xiaoxiang?

I asked her about it, but she shook her head and said that she was not as old as Grey Hundred Warehouse and didn't know the inside story. She just went there to cultivate because the land of the Nine Ghosts Coffin was very yin. Recently, she heard that the land of the Nine Ghosts Coffin had been broken, and she heard that there was a dragon pearl there, but no one dared to touch it. She was just a newborn calf and not afraid of tigers, so she went there and stole the dragon pearl.

I couldn't help but feel disappointed. Who was Xiaoxiang? With her powerful abilities, what kind of identity did she have? Could she really be a water god? But her style didn't seem like a god!

The triangular face felt a little better now and said apologetically that although she had secretly given her spirit talisman to Huihui, she couldn't serve two masters with one body. But whenever needed, she would definitely come to help me.

I didn't save her to get her to repay me, so I told her not to take it to heart.

At this moment, the first ray of morning light shone down, and the sky took on a beautiful pigeon gray color. The triangular face was used to being active at night, so she thanked me profusely and took her leave - she also needed to go back and rest after this major injury.

I also wanted to go back to the shop to take a nap. When I turned around, I found that Cheng Xinghe was gone. I saw him at the alley entrance, putting away another row of snacks.

Was he seeing hungry ghosts again? I walked towards him and realized that he was giving them to a little beggar.

The little beggar picked up the snacks and ran away without even saying thank you. Instead, he turned around and cursed Cheng Xinghe as a big idiot.

Damn this ungrateful brat. I felt very unhappy and had the urge to pull him back and beat him up. But Cheng Xinghe shook his head and said it was okay. That kid might not have met a good person before and was already miserable enough.

When he said these words, there was a hint of inexplicable sadness in his eyes, obviously not a classmate without a story.

Maybe he had also joined the Beggar's Sect before? If that was really the case, I kind of wanted to learn the skill of reversing defeat into victory from him.

At this moment, he had already turned around and walked away. When we arrived at the shop, I was taken aback - the antique shop owner was waiting at the door.

When he saw me, I immediately felt angry. This old guy almost got me sent to the Heavenly Master's mansion, and he hadn't even apologized to me yet. Instead, he was the first to come and make trouble. So I asked him what he was doing here.

The antique shop owner was in the wrong, so he smiled and said that there had been some misunderstandings about the previous incident, and he had just heard the explanation from his friend, so he came to apologize to me.

Then he moved aside and I saw that he had put a box of beer and a lot of food on the steps. Cheng Xinghe was very happy and nudged me with his shoulder, saying that the guy knew how to be generous and could shut me up with food. Besides, he had also come to inform me when I went to rescue you.

The antique shop owner didn't like hearing that and said in a righteous tone, "You can say I'm old, but don't say I'm bald!"

It's not that I'm soft-hearted, but the antique shop owner has watched me grow up after all, and this matter was provoked by me. It's his kindness to help me, and it's his duty not to. How could I ask him to sacrifice for me? So I nodded, indicating that the matter was over.

The antique shop owner was quite happy. I thought of that strange number that told me to run away quickly the other day and asked if he had changed his number. Unexpectedly, the antique shop owner looked puzzled and said that it wasn't his number.

That's strange - who else knows about that day?

Cheng Xinghe saw the food and looked eager. He didn't give me time to think and pushed me inside to cook.

I had no choice but to go to the kitchen and prepare a table of food. The old man has never liked takeout, and after becoming senile, he still complains that takeout tastes like corpse oil. My personality is to do whatever I do well, so my cooking skills are not bad.

Cheng Xinghe took a bite and looked at me intently, saying, "I want to discuss something with you."

I felt uneasy under his gaze and told him to spit it out. He opened his mouth and said, "Can you go to Thailand and change your gender? I want to marry you."

Marry your father!

I was about to scold him, but I noticed that he still had food in his mouth and had fallen asleep on the table.

This guy hasn't given me any money since he came to me, but he's suffered a lot, making me feel a little guilty. I thought about how I should compensate him somehow when I earn money, so I covered him with a foot blanket.

When people have free time, they tend to overthink. I suddenly remembered what Xiao Xiang had asked me to promise her. What could it be?

But before I could figure it out, several people suddenly appeared at the door. The leader was a forty-year-old man with a black beard. He looked around the storefront and said with disdain, "Are you Li Beidou?"

I glanced at Cheng Xinghe, who was asleep, and told the man to keep his voice down. What did he want from me?

His face stiffened, and he almost looked ashamed and angry. "You're in the yin-yang business, and you don't recognize me?"

You're not my father, so why should I recognize you? Wait, I don't even recognize my asshole dad.

The people who came with him thought I was deliberately acting stupid and got angry. "Who do you think you are, daring to speak to Mr. Han like that!"

I took a look and saw that the black-bearded man had a blue light shining from his forehead, indicating that he was a cultivator at the Xuan level.

A colleague? Because I don't fit in with the yin-yang community, I haven't entered this circle at all, so of course, I don't know who he is.

However, judging from their aggressive demeanor, they seemed to be here to cause trouble. This is strange. I don't even know them. How could I have offended them?

The black-bearded man waved his hand and commandingly told his followers to shut up. Then he extended a large hand towards me and said, "Take out your Feng Shui bell. I want to inspect it."

I was even more confused. What the hell is a Feng Shui bell?
