Bureau of Anomalous Biological Countermeasures Chapter 278: Hai Lingzhi
"Hai Lingzhi? What kind of monster is that, how come we have never heard of ginseng." After blinking his eyes, Xiao Ren San continued: "When we were in Yaoshan, we saw the appearance of Lingzhi becoming a spirit. This corpse doesn't look like it..."
"After you breathe out and soak in the sea water for so long, it will be different from now." When Wu Mian spoke, he put his finger into the mouth of the 'dead'. His fingers stirred inside, and Xiao Ren San was disgusted when he saw it. It seemed that the white-haired man wanted to find something here, but after stirring his fingers for a long time, he couldn't find anything.
"Interesting... The essence of Hailingzhi was dug up." After Wu Mian pulled out his finger, he washed it with sea water. Then he looked in the direction of the pier and continued: "Those who know the goods know that Hailingzhi is not counted, and also know where its essence is..."
"You mean the people in the pier did it? We don't believe in ginseng." Xiao Ren San couldn't believe that some people at the pier who were eating by the sea dared to provoke the Kraken. After shaking his head, he continued: " The old man said that you were a yellow-haired boy who didn't know anything at the time, and you were lucky enough to be picked up by Xu Fu. Now, what he said is not right, at least we all know about Hailingzhi, you can say it rightly. "
If these words had never been returned, or had come out of Bai Wuqiu's mouth, Wu Mian would have attracted the thunder of the two of them long ago. However, the white-haired man's tolerance to the ginseng doll is much higher than that of the father and son. At the moment, he just glanced at Xiao Rensan, and Wu Mian's words unconsciously increased towards this little guy: "I He is a family alchemist. He saw the drawings and diagrams of Hailingzhi when he was young. The essence of Hailingzhi is in its upper teeth. If it is not taken out after death, it will be weathered and turned into stone immediately. It's heavy..."
While speaking, Wu Mian glanced at the direction of the pier again, and then slowly continued to Xiao Ren San: "You are right, whoever lives by the sea dares to provoke the Kraken... Enough of shopping. , go back..."
This person and one demon directly used the escape method to return to the dock, and Wu Mian directly threw the sea-soaked body of Hai Lingzhi at the gate of the steward's residence. Then, with the same eyes from everyone around, he took Xiao Ren San to the restaurant that he and Gui Bugui had been to before.
This time, Wu Mian didn't hide his body shape anymore, and took off the cloak on his head, revealing his full head of white hair. The restaurant, the boss and the staff immediately recognized that this was the previous guest who served as a guest, and while fawning, they hurriedly sent someone to report to the new steward.
I heard that a corpse was thrown at the gate, and the person who threw the corpse went to the restaurant. The new steward began to think that it was an outsider who came to the bustling wharf and was about to bring thugs and guards to catch the troublemaker. Halfway through, I met someone sent by the owner of the restaurant. I heard that it was a white-haired man wearing this child, or a distinguished guest who had been entertained by the previous steward. The new steward guessed who it was, and hurriedly dispersed the thugs around him and trotted to the restaurant.
Under the leadership of the restaurant owner, the new steward carefully arrived in front of Wu Mian and Xiao Rensan's private seat, stood at the door and said, "Qian Ada, the new steward at the Dengzhou Wharf of Xia Sishui, I heard that there is an old immortal. Arrived at the wharf. Came here specially to meet you... Please forgive me, may I ask if the old god's name is Shang Wu Xia Mian?"
"I don't know Shang Wu Xia Mian, but Wu Mian has one here." Glancing at the steward who was wiping cold sweat at the door, Wu Mian continued: "You are the master here, and I didn't punish you for standing here. , have something to say."
After listening to the words of the white-haired man, the steward walked in boldly. Accompanying the smiling faces, Wu Mian and Xiao Ren San each filled a glass of wine, and then said: "Xiao used to be the steward of the Suzhou Caravan, and he has seen your old man and the old goddess. It's just that you Everyone is an old immortal who is enlightened, and can't remember a little person like me."
Wu Mian ignored the flattery of the steward, and glanced at the little Ren San next to him, then the little guy took over the conversation and said, "Steward Qian, did you see the greeting we gave you just now? That's Good stuff, eat it at night while it’s fresh. It’s not that we ginseng talk nonsense, after eating that dead man, it’s not a problem for you to live to ninety-nine.”
Qian A-da just glanced at the corpse that was swollen by the sea. He was a new steward from the inland, and he had never seen such a disgusting corpse. I didn't look at it carefully, I thought it was this little guy who was joking with himself again. This was not a good topic to answer, so he could only give a wry smile and then said, "The little one will let the corpse be put away. The two old immortals will come down to the original address of the corpse, and the little one will send the corpse to the place of origin for burial... …”
Hearing the steward's misunderstanding, Xiao Ren San stood on the chair and patted, "You still haven't heard the steward Qian, and we will tell you again. What we brought to you just now is the treasure from the sea. It's cooked and dipped. Garlic juice makes you beautiful... What are you vomiting? It's called Hai Lingzhi, which looks like a dead person, but it's actually a treasure in the sea. It's aphrodisiac... Eat one bite to increase your lifespan by ten years."
Seeing that Xiao Ren San was talking endlessly, Wu Mian finally couldn't help but interjected and said, "Steward Qian, have there been any Taoist priests and monks visiting the dock recently? You want to talk about it carefully."
"Taoist, monk..." After thinking about it for a while, Steward Qian continued: "The youngest is the one who arrived at the wharf half a month ago and became the steward. In the past two weeks, there have only been merchant ships traveling overseas. The people on board are basically They did not leave the pier either, they all returned directly after we purchased the goods from the Surabaya. The people entering the pier were mainly the caravans of the Surabaya, except for a few outsiders. I have not seen any monks. , Taoist priests going in and out of the wharf, there are still three or four months before they arrive to worship the sea god, so there should be no cultivators coming in."
Wu Mian didn't answer yet, Xiao Ren San suddenly thought of something, pointed to the sea area where Hai Lingzhi was found, and said first: "We ginseng still have something to ask you, so, go southeast along the wharf, There is a deserted beach, what is that place? There are seashells everywhere, can you hold back and watch?"
The steward has only arrived for half a month, so he doesn't know the situation there, but the owner of the restaurant has been at the dock for several years, and he knows the sea area that Xiao Ren San mentioned. Hearing what the little doll said, his face became a little ugly. Seeing that Steward Qian couldn't say anything, he immediately said boldly: "Guide Qian has just arrived, and I don't know that ghost place. The villain, I said for Steward Qian... Originally, that was where the wharf was located, but the one who built the wharf was there. Except for a few accidents, a few people died.
The two owners of the Sishui ship sent a master named Li Mo or Mo Li to see it and said that it was a corpse-raising place for water ghosts and was not suitable for a wharf. That's why the wharf was changed to here. The people on the wharf often go there to dig seashells to eat. However, there was a period of time when sea drifters were often found there, and some people had seen ghosts somewhere, so no one dared to go there to dig seashells. "
Speaking of this, the restaurant owner remembered something. After a pause, he continued: "When the ghost ship was haunted before, the ghost ships all drifted to that sea area. Later, I don't know why the tide was disturbed, and the ghost ships were washed out. They drifted to the dock. I'm here."
"No wonder you don't dare to go there anymore." Xiao Ren San was a little fascinated by listening, until the restaurant owner finished speaking, he continued: "In such a sinister place, your dock is right next to you, so don't you be afraid of the dock? The people on board all eat boat meals, so aren’t they afraid of how many water ghosts are behind the boat when they run the boat?”
After a wry smile, the owner of the restaurant said here: "I was worried at first. The previous stewards have invited the master to come and practice. They are also some famous French styles, but after they came, they said that there was nothing there. When they came there, it was very quiet. People just walked all over the water and began to show ghosts. Last time, I wanted to invite you to come and see, but the drum words of the two owners did not allow us to trouble you. I didn't dare to speak."
