After breakfast, Lu Yuelan and Fang Jingxiao went to help Ye Wangyou move. Zhan Zhao Bai Yutang took the fourth son and the White Ghost King to the house of the watchman, Old Liu.

To go to Lao Liu's house, you must pass the Baihu Bridge. Everyone took a look at the bridge. Because it was daytime, all the boats were closed.

There are many large boats and boats parked at the pier beside the bridge, many of which are covered with curtains.

Unlike the bright lights at night, these boats looked shabby in the sunlight than expected.

Zhan Zhao asked Bai Yutang if he knew which one was the fire ship.

The Fifth Master observed it and found that far away from the bridge, there was a building ship covered entirely with black cloth. It looked bigger than the other ships.

Although Bai Yutang is not very involved in the business of Xiankong Island, he grew up on the island after all, and he still knows more about ships than the average person.

It is actually very simple to judge something like a boat, that is, the bigger it is, the more powerful it is.

No matter how big the keel is, the big ship will be built. Big ships are not only expensive to build, but also expensive to maintain... The business of sailing a big ship is definitely a profitable business.

But not all profitable business requires sailing a big boat.

As mentioned before, the bigger the ship, the higher the cost. If you make the same money, the one with the higher cost will benefit less. Logically speaking, it is just a ship that travels on inland rivers, but this is a ship that can travel by sea.

……Why bother?

Not only Bai Yutang, but also Yao Changtian was eyeing the ship.

The White Ghost King still knows the goods. After looking at it for a while, he said, "The water line is so deep."

Bai Yutang looked at his uncle.

"Either there are a lot of people or a lot of cargo on this boat." The White Ghost King said quietly.

The crowd didn't stop much. After all, they were still not sure whether that was the ship they were looking for. Maybe it was just an ordinary cargo ship. After all, Kaifeng Mansion also had no shortage of businessmen doing big business... First of all,

Don't be alarmed, wait until it gets dark later and come back to see it.

The four of them got off the Baihu Bridge, walked through the streets and alleys, and arrived at the door of Lao Liu's house.

Lao Liu lives in a small house in an ordinary alley.

"I heard that Old Liu's family was originally quite well off, and his ancestors left him some property, but he drank too much and gambled, and the family fortune was almost wiped out." Zhan Zhao pushed the door and found that it was unlocked. To be precise, the door was unlocked.

, it’s because the door lock is broken and it’s closed.

Pushing open the door and going in, the yard looks like a junk yard, with piles of firewood, grains and rags piled up in a mess.

Bai Gui Wang and Bai Yutang stood at the door, glanced inside, and showed a trace of disgust - without even bothering to tidy up...

Zhan Zhao turned around and saw the expressions of the two men, and wanted to laugh - it turned out that his nephew could not leave his uncle's house, and it was the same after a generation... It is a family tradition to dare to be clean in love.

"Oh." The fourth son pointed to the empty wine jars piled high in the corner, "Ten lives won't be enough if you drink this way..."

Everyone frowned, Lao Liu was indeed an alcoholic through and through.

Nothing could be seen in the yard except that it was dirty and messy. There were only two other rooms, and they looked very shabby.

The door of one room is closed, and the door of the other is open.

The open room looked like a kitchen and a guest room, with a stove and a dining table. The inside was greasy and dirty, and it looked like there was no desire to go in.

Everyone turned their attention to the only closed room - this was probably Lao Liu's bedroom.

Zhan Zhao walked over to open the door and pulled twice, but was stunned - the door was locked.

"It's weird. Doors are always around, but this door is locked?" Zhan Zhao looked at the lock hanging on the door, "I feel like all the family's belongings put together are not as expensive as this lock."

Fifth Master also went over to take a look and nodded, "It is indeed a good lock."

The White Ghost King is getting more and more disgusted, I don’t think even a thief would want to come in this house, is it necessary to use such a good lock?"

Zhan Zhao went to pull the window again and found that it was also locked.

Everyone couldn't help but become a little interested in this room - could there be a treasure in it?

Bai Yutang stretched out his hand to grab the door lock and looked at Zhan Zhao.

Zhan Zhao nodded.

As soon as Mr. Wu used his inner strength... the lock was frozen and opened with a slight tug.

Zhan Zhao pulled the fourth son behind him, and the fifth master pulled the door...with a creak, and the door opened.

The room was dark, but there was a strange smell.

Bai Yutang raised his hand to cover his mouth and nose and stepped aside.

Zhan Zhao also frowned, this smell was a bit familiar...

"It smells like corpses." The fourth boy was about to run in. "There seems to be a dead person in there."

Zhan Zhao quickly picked him up, what a boy - this kid is really afraid of nothing but corpses.

After handing the dumpling to Bai Yutang, Zhan Zhao took out the dumpling and entered the house.

There was half an oil lamp on the table, Zhan Zhao lit it... and the room lit up.

If you look at it from the outside, Lao Liu is extremely poor, but looking at his bedroom alone, Zhan Zhao can't help but comment - he's sick!

Baigui Wang and Bai Yutang both nodded - there are a lot of perverts in Kaifeng!

The fourth child also opened his eyes wide and looked around.

In the bedroom, there is almost no white wall. The wall is covered with various paintings and hung with many things... It is a bit unsightly.

The portraits on the wall are all half-naked women. There are many nails driven around the portraits, and some clothes that have been cut with knives are hung, and many of them are women's underwear.

Each portrait had words, names, dates, etc. written on it. Bai Yutang also noticed that there were four treasures of the study on the table, as well as some unfinished drawings.

Zhan Zhao leaned over and looked at the words on the portraits, and was a little speechless - these lovers were all women that Lao Liu took home to spend the night. Each of them, Lao Liu, drew a portrait for them and bought their intimate clothes.

Zhan Zhao didn't know whether to laugh or cry. This old man was too disrespectful. Did he let himself go after his wife ran away?

But besides paintings and clothes, there are also some "weird" things on the wall.

There are several palm raincoats hanging on the wall, with half a coconut shell hanging on the top of each raincoat and a piece of silk hanging on the bottom... It's like there are people hanging on the wall. Moreover, each person in the raincoat is dressed differently.

There were strange shell ornaments hanging on it, and strange patterns painted with red paint. There was even an iron nail about a palm long driven into the coconut shell.

Zhan Zhao also asked the fourth son, "What is this? Is it witchcraft?"

The little fourth son usually studies medicine, but not witchcraft... Just as he was scratching his head, the White Ghost King behind him said calmly, "This is a curse."

"Spell?!" Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang both looked back at the old man.

The White Ghost King also seemed to have some interest. He touched his chin and looked at the dummy made of coconut shell raincoat and satin with nails pierced through the face. "I seem to have seen this kind of... coconut shell and raincoat, it's just that

"Uncle, did you see it on the island?" Bai Yutang asked Yao Changtian curiously. These three things are considered standard on the island.

"Hmm..." Yao Changtian curled his lips and said to himself, "Is it such a coincidence? It's both gentian and island..."

"What?"

Zhan Zhao's ears were sharp at the moment, and when he heard the word "gentian", he looked over here, his eyes bright.

Yao Changtian reached out and touched his nose and said no more.

Zhan Zhao glared at Bai Yutang - he really wanted to beat up the old man!

Bai Yutang looked at him helplessly - It's good if you don't get beaten violently. Who can we beat?

Zhan Zhao was holding his breath.

At this moment, the fourth son who was studying the dummy beside him suddenly said "ah".

The three people around him looked at him.

The fourth boy tilted his head and said, "Yin Yin!"

Zhan Zhao quickly asked him, "Grandpa? What's wrong with my grandpa?"

The fourth boy blinked with big eyes, then held his cheeks with both hands, "So handsome!"

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang both looked at him in confusion - so handsome?

The White Ghost King turned his back and said silently - two hundred and fifty for the soy sauce team, so handsome!

…

"Ah...ah sneeze!"

In Nan'an Temple, Tianzun and Yin Hou, who had just had breakfast, sneezed at the same time.

A string of wind chimes hung under the eaves of the meditation hall, making a clicking sound.

While Yin Hou was looking at the scenery under the eaves, he glanced at the direction the wind was blowing from.

Although the soy sauce team sneezed at the same time, they were not together at this moment.

Early in the morning, the elder monk and the younger monks in the temple began to chant sutras.

The demon king originally wanted to capture both members of the soy sauce group to come and listen to the sutras, but when Tianzun heard that he wanted to follow the monk in chanting the sutras, he ran away in vain.

The demon king had no choice but to chase Xiaoyou, catch him, drag him back, and hold him down in the main hall to prevent him from moving. He sat on a futon and chanted sutras.

The demon king managed to catch Tianzun, but when he turned around, he saw that Yin Hou had also run away.
