Mortal Bones

"Really?"

Uncle Jiu put down the bowl of soup in his hand and looked at Liu Songshan with a smile.

"I'll send a message to him right away!"

Liu Songshan immediately stood up and took out a talisman from his arms.

"Little friend Taiping, do you mind adding another pair of chopsticks?"

Uncle Jiu looked at Xu Taiping with a smile while holding the bowl of soup.

"Do you want to pay?"

Xu Taiping hesitated for a moment and still asked.

"You must pay!"

Uncle Jiu answered decisively.

"That's fine."

Xu Taiping nodded.

He didn't bother to care what these big shots were playing. Anyway, he was just a cook, a money collector, and a showgoer today.

"By the way, I don't seem to have any chopsticks at home."

Xu Taiping suddenly remembered something.

"It's okay, let him bring it himself!"

Uncle Jiu waved his hand.

"But...but Uncle Jiu, I...my message talisman has...already burned out..."

Liu Songshan explained to Uncle Jiu as soon as he heard it.

"Just order another one when it's all burned out. You won't accomplish anything if you keep talking too much."

Uncle Jiu glared at Liu Songshan with disdain.

"Yes... yes!"

Seeing Uncle Jiu's expression change, Liu Songshan took out a communication talisman from his arms without saying a word, and said with a pain in his heart:

"This junior uncle is really an ancestor. One communication talisman is more than enough to buy a thousand pairs of chopsticks!"

Xu Taiping didn't comment on the actions of several people, but just sighed in his heart:

"It's good to have money."

...

A moment later.

There was another person at the dining table in the main hall of the Qingzhuju courtyard.

He was a tall man with a square face. Because of his huge body, he looked like he was sitting on the ground when he sat on Xu Taiping's small bench.

"Or, let's move to the yard to eat, so we don't have to be so crowded."

Looking at Xu Youzhi squatting there with sweat all over his head, Xu Taiping couldn't stand it anymore, so he suggested to several people.

"No!"

What Xu Taiping didn't expect was that the first person to raise his hand in opposition was not the weird Uncle Jiu, but the sweaty Liefeng Hall Master Xu Youzhi.

"Little brother, don't bother so much, I'm fine sitting here, I like sitting here!"

Xu Youzhi shook the chopsticks he brought from home, and explained to Xu Taiping with a smile.

"Okay..."

Xu Taiping frowned, thinking:

"These people are probably mentally ill, so Uncle Bai should stay away from them in the future."

"Hey, little guy, you are meddling in other people's business, aren't you? I like it, and he likes it, so we naturally can't take away what others like."

Uncle Jiu smiled and winked at Xu Taiping, reaching out to take the last piece of lamb ribs in the bowl.

"By the way, Youzhi, which two brothers in your Liefeng Hall are responsible for the Qingzhuju area?"

Uncle Jiu asked Xu Youzhi casually while gnawing on the ribs.

"Reporting..."

"Hmm?"

Xu Youzhi instinctively wanted to stand up, but was stared at by Uncle Jiu with a casual look and sat back down. Then he wiped the sweat from his forehead and said:

"Uncle Jiu, the two disciples in Liefeng Hall who are in charge of Qingzhuju are named Zuo Ju and Zhou Gu. They are both at the great success of Kaimen Realm. Since they took over this area, there have been very few cases of monsters and monsters hurting people."

These two are his subordinates. They will rise and fall together. Naturally, he will not be stingy with his praise.

"Although it was just a coincidence that we passed by, the four of us were able to gather here thanks to little friend Taiping. As for the cultivation, we can't help much because of the sect's regulations, but when you, Liefeng Hall, patrol nearby in the future, you must take care of Qingzhuju."

Old Jiu casually instructed Xu Youzhi.

Upon hearing this, Xu Youzhi and Liu Songshan looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief, thinking:

"So Junior Master Uncle asked us to come here just to take care of Qingzhuju!"

"Uncle Jiu, don't worry. We will definitely let Zuo Ju and Zhou Gu strictly inspect Qingzhuju in the future."

Xu Youzhi patted his chest and assured Uncle Jiu.

"Uncle Jiu, for such a small matter, you can just ask Bai Hong to come and say hello to me. There is no need for you to personally host a banquet."

Liu Songshan also looked relieved at this time.

However, Xu Taiping, who had been watching the show, became confused after listening to the conversation between several people, thinking:

"Uncle Jiu and I have no relatives, why did the Pavilion Master Liu and the Hall Master Xu suddenly take care of me, just because of this meal?"

It is definitely not justified just because of this meal, Xu Taiping thought so, while looking at Uncle Jiu.

At this time, Uncle Jiu was chewing on the leg of lamb. Seeing Xu Taiping looking at him, he immediately grinned and winked at Xu Taiping.

Xu Taiping frowned and thought:

"This old man is cunning at first glance, and he must not be so kind."

Then, he looked at Bai Hong on the side.

Bai Hong smiled at him after noticing Xu Taiping's gaze.

"Sure enough, Uncle Bai deliberately led Uncle Jiu to Qingzhuju so that he could take this opportunity to take care of me."

Xu Taiping suddenly realized.

Thinking of this, he immediately nodded slightly to Bai Hong and cast a grateful look at him.

Uncle Jiu on the opposite side frowned after seeing this scene, and thought:

"You brat, I was the one who obviously helped, so why did you thank someone else? No, I have to let him see more clearly. I can't let this brat only have a crush on Bai Hong!"

Immediately, he put down the leg of lamb in his hand, looked at Liu Songshan and Xu Youzhi who were trembling beside him, and said, "While you are both here today, let's invite Zuo Ju and Zhou Gu to have a meal together. , remember to let them bring their own chopsticks.”

Xu Songshan and Zhou Gu looked at each other in shock when they heard this.

"Nine...Uncle Ninth...I...I don't have the communication talisman on me anymore."

Liu Songshan looked embarrassed.

"Uncle Jiu, I came in a hurry, and I didn't bring any with me."

Xu Youzhi echoed.

This type of communication talisman that can transmit sounds thousands of miles is very expensive. Liu Songshan can carry two of them, which is considered a luxury.

"Little guy, do you have any here?"

Uncle Jiu turned to look at Xu Taiping.

Not to mention, Xu Taiping actually had one on him, which was what Zuo Ju left for him last time.

However, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Xu Taiping decided not to hand over this communication talisman, and he did not want to get involved in the dispute between these people.

"I do not……"

"I could buy it for twice as much."

Xu Taiping was about to refuse, but was suddenly interrupted by Uncle Jiu.

"I have!"

Xu Taiping took out the communication talisman from his arms without hesitation.

"This is the right thing!"

Uncle Jiu smiled and took the communication talisman from Xu Taiping's hand.

"This...isn't this the transmission talisman of our Gale Wind Hall?"

Xu Youzhi immediately recognized the talisman in Uncle Jiu's hand.
