Chapter 58. Waves in the waves, waves in the waves...

On the way back, Qiusheng couldn't help but ask, "Master, why didn't you teach that old guy a lesson?"
"Why do we have to teach him a lesson?"
"He used underhanded methods to deal with Fei Bao, and he showed disrespect to our master, behaving arrogantly and full of himself."
Nine Uncle shook his head and sighed, "That's why I say you guys still lack experience."
The old man may appear ordinary, but he actually hides his true ability. It is not advisable to provoke him without reason.
Zhou Yu couldn't help but say, "Master, I always feel that the old man is up to no good. Master must be extra cautious."
That being said, Uncle Nine couldn't help but furrow his brows: "Now that you mention it, that old guy's expression seems a bit strange, as if he has some deep grudge against me."
"Haha, Master, he must think it's you who stopped him from casting his spell, not knowing it was done by Junior Brother."
"No!" Ninth Uncle shook his head. "It can't be that simple..."
A light bulb went off in Qiusheng's mind, and he slapped his forehead. "I remember now, that old man introduced himself as a native of Southern Jiang."
"Is it possible that he has something to do with the gang of bandits from before?"
"It really is a wake-up call."
"After being reminded by Akio, Uncle Jiushu's expression instantly became serious."
Zhou Yu also thought there was a great possibility of this.
In addition, he also thought of another matter, which was the death of Yu Changming, the class leader of Changming Yuan.
Although the mastermind Lu Wei was identified, the person who carried out the attack remained a mystery because Lu Wei had gone crazy.
So, Yu Zhou spoke out his thoughts.
Finally, he said, "Master, we can secretly investigate the old man's background.
If he had contact with Lu Wei before, then he must be the one who made the move."
"Hmm~" Uncle Ji nodded his head and said, "If it's really him, I won't easily forgive him. I will definitely seek justice on behalf of heaven!"
Hearing this, Qiusheng couldn't help but feel impassioned and gave a thumbs up, saying, "Great! Well done, Master!"
"You want me to praise?"
Uncle Nine raised his eyebrows and glared at Qiusheng.
Then, he crossed his hands behind his back, took a few steps with a zigzag pattern, and unconsciously hummed a Kunqu tune:
"It's all for you, the beauty like flowers, the passing years like flowing water. Answering the idle search, self-pitying in the secluded chambers. Turning around this peony porch, leaning against the rocks by the lake and mountains..."
Just as I was getting into the song, Zhou Yu started to act up from behind: "Bamboozler, bamboozler..."
"You little rascal in the midst of bamboozlement, dare to make fun of your master, asking for a beating!"
Hahaha...
On the street, the echo of Qiu Sheng's hearty laughter lingered.
And on the other side, when Shi Ren returned home, there were one hundred and twenty people who were dissatisfied and clamoring to seek revenge and ruin someone.
Huang Peng said gloomily, "Don't worry, your revenge will definitely be avenged."
"Master, we must get rid of that fat treasure..."
"And Nine Uncle's disciple, I want to pull out all his teeth, and break his legs..."
"Don't worry, I have my own plans."
Huang Peng stroked his beard, a strong killing intent flashing in his eyes.
Speaking of which, Qiu Sheng's speculation before was also half correct.
Huang Peng recognized the female leader, after all, both sides were from Southern Region and belonged to the same witchcraft faction.
However, the two sides did not have much friendship, nor did they reach the point of seeking revenge for each other at all costs.
This is just a trigger.
Huang Peng was once taught a lesson by a disciple of Maoshan when he was young, and his cultivation was almost ruined.
Nowadays, self-proclaimed experts claim that the female gang leader was annihilated by Uncle Nine, who is said to be a disciple of Maoshan.
As a result, new grievances and old grudges are added together.
Coincidentally, Mr. Shi's father, hearing from someone that Huang Peng is an expert, asks someone to find Huang Peng and ask him to come to the Shi's residence to help out.
Logically speaking, when it comes to feng shui in Renjia Town, you should look for Jiushu. After all, Jiushu's reputation is well-deserved.
However, Mr. Shi's father has never seen eye to eye with Jiushu, so naturally he doesn't want to invite any trouble.
……
That night.
Fatty Bao stood in front of the stall with a heavy heart.
Today, Mr. Zhu has issued a final ultimatum. He must gather the betrothal gifts within three months, otherwise the engagement will be called off.
He runs a mobile stall selling boat congee, but the business is average and barely enough to make a living.
Despite his frugal lifestyle, he has only managed to save around ten dollars.
"Hello, Bao Ge, what are you daydreaming about? How's business today?"
A young man in a short gown approached the stall with a cheerful smile.
This person's name is Xiao Hai, who is about the same age as Fei Bao. The two have been playing together since childhood, and have a very close relationship.
"Same old, same old..."
"Why are you so distracted?"
"Don't mention it, my father-in-law is pressuring me to marry Xiaozhu again..."
"But that's a happy occasion, why do you still look down?"
Feibao dejectedly said, "What joy? He wants me to come up with the bride price within three months, it will cost at least 200 yuan..."
Xiao Hai was shocked, "So much? Then I can't help you."
"Ah~"
Fei Bao sighed deeply.
He knew very well that Xiao Hai, just like him, was a poor guy.
After chatting for a while, Xiao Hai bid farewell and left.
After some time, a girl approached the stall with a basket and took out a bowl. She said, "Please give me a bowl of porridge."
"Oh~"
Feibao responded and swiftly took the bowl, added seasoning, scooped porridge, and then helped put it back in the basket.
"How much is it?" the girl asked with a smile.
"Thank you, three copper coins," Feibao replied.
"Give ~"
"Thank you, take care."
"After that girl turned and left, Fei Bao suddenly felt a little strange."
"Subconsciously took a look at the money box... the three copper coins on the surface had turned into ash."
"Damn it, even ghosts want to bully me?"
Fatty Bao, who naturally has a lot of courage and was already angry, suddenly acted out of impulse and picked up a kitchen knife to chase after them.
Just as he was about to chase into the alley, he happened to run into Zhou Yu, Qiu Sheng, and Wang Xiangning, who were walking and chatting.
"Huh? Isn't that Fei Bao? What's he doing with a kitchen knife?"
Akio looked surprised.
"Fei Bao..."
Zhou Yu couldn't help but shout loudly and hurriedly walked over.
肥宝挠了挠头：“原来是你们啊……”
"Yeah, we just went to grab some late-night snacks... By the way, what were you doing with a knife?"
"Don't mention it, I just encountered a ghost."
"Ah~"
When Wang Xiangning heard the words "ghost collision", she couldn't help but scream and hide in Qiusheng's arms.
Qiu Sheng looked pleased and gently patted Wang Xiangning, saying, "Don't be afraid, my wife. With me here, what ghost should you fear?"
Zhou Yuzeyi glanced thoughtfully at the end of the alley and asked, "Feibao, what's going on?"
"Just now, a woman came to buy porridge. After she left, I checked the money box, and the three copper coins she gave turned into dead money."
Upon hearing these words, Qiusheng suddenly became enthusiastic: "Oh my, that female ghost is too arrogant, doing it in broad daylight..."
Wait, it's still early before midnight, and she dares to stroll on the street so ostentatiously?"
What does Fei Bao look like?
Wang Xiangning sighed and said, "Why don't you just ask if she's pretty or not."
"Yes, yes, Fei Bao, how does that ghost girl look like..."
At this point, Qiusheng suddenly snapped out of it and quickly turned to Wang Xiangning with a smile on his face:
"Wife, actually I am concerned about Feibao, afraid that he will be fascinated by the female ghosts..."
"Hmph, tonight don't come home, go find a female ghost to sleep with you!"
Wang Xiangning left with a snort.
You can't blame her for being stingy, especially since this guy, Qiusheng, has a criminal record...
