Merchant of the Underworld

After hearing Hua Tuo's explanation, Li Mazi exclaimed that Chen Deng was simply the best gourmet in the world. He even found tableware that would not affect the original taste of the food.

Hua Tuo smiled and said that Chen Deng was indeed very interested in food, otherwise he would not have lost his life eating. Chinese medicine emphasizes that diseases enter through the mouth. He earnestly advised Chen Deng to give up sashimi, but Chen Deng refused to listen, and he died suddenly in his prime.

After losing his life because of one bite of food, Chen Deng can truly be called the best foodie in history! He used his life to write the truth that life is precious and good food is more valuable.

Just as we were sighing, the fluorescent lights in the store suddenly flashed twice.

In the semi-darkness, I saw a ghostly figure shrouded in red light appear out of thin air in the antique shop.

It’s Chen Deng!

With a creak, Chen Deng suddenly opened his mouth toward us, and green pus and white bugs immediately flowed all over the floor. His mouth seemed to contain a kind of magic power. It was dark inside, as if it could suck people in. For a few seconds just now, I had an inexplicable desire to stick my head in.

I quickly took out a handful of soybeans and chewed them in my mouth. Chen Deng is a Yin spirit who has been practicing for thousands of years. It is a piece of cake to confuse people's hearts.

However, Li Mazi walked towards Chen Deng with blurred eyes. No matter how I called him, he couldn't come back.

I immediately took out a small bag of black dog blood and sprinkled it all over Li Mazi's body. Li Mazi's body suddenly shook a few times.

After coming back to his senses, he touched the smelly black dog blood on his head and said, "Brother Zhang, don't waste it like this. Black dog blood is so expensive, just give me a few soybeans."

I scolded: "You have been obsessed with ghosts, and it is too late to chew soybeans. By the way, the fee will be deducted from your labor fee this time."

Li Mazi's eyes widened and he looked at me in disbelief: "What, when did you become so stingy?"

I shrugged at Li Mazi and said in a Taiwanese accent: "I've always been like this."

Seeing that the illusion was useless, Chen Deng immediately turned into a line of blood and stabbed towards us.

I was about to draw out the ghost-killing swords when a faint medicinal fragrance filled the space between me and Chen Deng.

It's Hua Tuo, he finally takes action!

When Chen Deng saw Hua Tuo, he was obviously startled: "Miracle Doctor Hua, why are you here?"

Hua Tuo looked at Chen Deng and sighed heavily: "Chen Yuanlong, I'm here to treat you today. Alas, it's hard for you to have been like this for thousands of years. Stand still!" "

After saying that, Hua Tuo flicked his long blue sleeves, and the smell of Chinese herbal medicine in the antique shop became stronger. Layers of white mist enveloped Chen Deng, as if little stars had penetrated his festering wound.

After a long time, Hua Tuo finally nodded slightly. When the white mist dissipated, I clearly found that the soaring evil spirit on Chen Deng's body had been resolved, and all the bloody wounds and insects on his body were gone. Replaced by a handsome middle-aged man with a wise smile on his face.

This is the real Chen Deng, the all-powerful Cao family counselor in history!

"Thank you, little friend, for inviting the Chinese miracle doctor to restore me to my true self. Yuan Long will leave now. I will continue to taste all the delicacies in the world..." Chen Deng bowed to me, and then walked out laughing. In the antique shop, the figure finally becomes transparent.

I breathed a long sigh of relief. The whole affair of eating fresh chopsticks was finally over.

The miracle doctor Hua Tuo stroked our beard and jaw, and his figure turned into a ray of light and returned to the page of "Qing Nang Book".

The next day, I returned "The Green Bag Book" together with the password box to the Wang family. When I saw Wang Xun'er, her eyes were red and swollen, as if she had been crying all night.

My heart moved, and I vaguely guessed why she was crying, but I couldn't comfort her. I couldn't hug her like the ancients did.

I called Brother Deng and Sister Guan to tell Brother Deng and Sister Guan that the matter had been resolved. In addition, Brother Deng had been possessed by ghosts several times and his yang energy had been severely damaged. Therefore, he had to take a bath with mugwort leaves and take more sunbaths to help restore his yang energy.

According to the old rules, the pair of chopsticks used to eat fresh food belongs to me.

I looked carefully at this pair of strange chopsticks in the store and remembered the wise saying: "Eat to live." However, some people have lost their lives for a mouthful of delicious food. It is better to use less of this kind of evil thing.

I think it’s better to let the pair of fresh chopsticks stay quietly in the antique shop! It’s also good to be a box treasure.

I checked the time and was about to go to bed when a familiar voice sounded at the door: "Brother Zhang, open the door, it's me."

I frowned, why is Li Mazi here again? Did he receive another business?

I didn't want to open the door, but looking at how hard Li Mazi was knocking on the door, I guess he would just kick the door down if I didn't.

I quickly warned: "Knock gently, this is an antique door left by my grandfather, it's three generations old. Can you afford to pay for it if it's broken?"

Li Mazi chuckled: "Okay, I'll be careful next time."

"Tell me, why do you want to see me so late?" I lit a cigarette. I had been staying up day and night for the past two days, and I was a little tired. "It's not like I have no stories to tell again. I was punished by Teacher Xia." Are you kneeling on the durian?"

Li Mazi rolled his eyes at me: "Screw you, I have business today."

He asked me if I still remember that Hong Kong gourmet? At that time, we were entrusted to help him find a yin object that would allow him to taste the true taste of delicious food from all over the world. The two parties later signed a contract.

oh! I remembered, wouldn’t the pair of chopsticks come in handy for eating fresh food?

I quickly wrapped the chopsticks with magic talismans and gave them to Li Mazi, and then repeatedly told the gourmet to use them only when participating in competitions and never use them at ordinary times, otherwise he would be eroded by the Yin Qi in the chopsticks and become the next one. Greedy Chen Deng.

After seeing Li Mazi off, I looked at the dark night outside the antique shop and couldn't help but sigh.

Human beings are really great beings. They can bring animals, vegetables, and even anything edible to the dining table to make a variety of gourmet meals.

But humans are also cruel beings. In order to get a delicious bite, they can cut off the fins of sharks, chop off the palms of black bears, burn newborn rat cubs to death, and eat the brains of monkeys alive.

Man, what do you want me to say?

(PS: Laojiu is back, and it will explode for ten consecutive days starting tomorrow! The ghosts and strange stories I encountered during this trip will be revealed to everyone one after another.)
