Thriller Tour Group

"This afternoon is free time. You can enjoy exploring Leigu Hutong and the surrounding scenery."

In the courtyard, the devil businessman said briefly: "It is the off-season for tourism now, and we are the only group of tourists in the entire courtyard hotel. As you can see, this is a courtyard with two entrances, with the reverse room in the front yard and the main room in the backyard. Everyone can stay in the east and west wing rooms. ”

"But be careful."

"Everyone must return to the Courtyard Hotel before eight o'clock tonight. Important itineraries will be announced."

After the devil merchant finished speaking, he winked at Wei Xun and stopped talking. Logically speaking, he should be the one taking the lead in allocating rooms. Because Siheyuan is actually different from the "Xiaolong Yizhuang" hotel in Xiangxi where you can divide rooms and stay at will. There are particularities in whichever hotel you stay in.

Logically speaking, there should be money to be made from the tourists trying to please the tour guide so that he can be assigned a better room. But the devil businessman knew it well. When dealing with these big boss passengers, even if you have just established your authority on the minibus, sometimes you still have to give in a little bit, and you can't be critical of everything, so that you can go back and forth.

So he actually let go of the room assignment and wanted to talk to Wei Xun behind the scenes.

When Wei Xun walked towards the Devil Merchant, he turned back and looked at the passengers with interest. They had already started to argue.

Or perhaps Augustus's voice was too loud, and it sounded like a quarrel.

"We're going to live in the front yard."

The red-haired werewolf Augustus was the first to speak loudly, his menacing and fierce eyes sweeping over everyone.

"Mia, you come and live in the front yard too. Our werewolf tribe must live together! That woman, if you want to live with Mia, come live too!"

His words made Zhou Xiyang and others frown.

The inverted house in the front yard is the southernmost row of houses in the entire courtyard. It is close to the toilet and has poor lighting due to its doors and windows facing the north. In the past, it was usually used by servants.

The head of the family lives in the main house in the backyard, the eldest son and daughter-in-law live in the east wing, and the second son and daughter-in-law live in the west wing. Both are particular. Although they are staying in a "Siheyuan Hotel" now, they no longer have to pay attention to it. But you must be careful during the journey, as you are very likely to encounter someone using your identity in later attractions.

Augustus and the others wanted to live in the front yard as 'servants', and Zhou Xiyang and the others had no objection, but Mia and October 10 shared a room, and according to Augustus, October also lived in the front.

"October, what do you think?"

Zhou Xiyang asked.

"It's nice to live in the front yard."

On October 10th, he said coldly: "Guard the door, otherwise the wolf dog will go crazy and bite people outside."

Zhou Xiyang's brows relaxed a little. It would be best if she wanted to do it on October 10th. As she said, the front yard is closest to the gate and it would be best if someone is watching. Then he felt like laughing again.

Living in the outer courtyard with three werewolves on October 10th was indeed like a person raising three ‘evil dogs’. Since Augustus calls October 10th 'that woman', it is as if she had no name. On October 10th, it was reasonable to retort, calling him 'that wolf dog'.

"Wolfdog? Have you seen a wolfdog outside?"

Augustus frowned and did not respond. If there really was a wolf dog outside the courtyard...then they would have to reconsider whether they wanted to live in the front yard facing the street. After all, even he was completely unaware of the presence of the wolf-dog.

"I'm sorry, Augustus is always slow to talk and makes people angry easily. But actually he doesn't mean any harm."

Mia sighed, smiled apologetically at October 10th, and said softly to her: "That door smells weird, not a good bone. We werewolves have a very keen sense of smell, and it will be uncomfortable if we pass under it every day. ”

"That's why Augustus asked us all to live in the front yard. You should also be careful if you live in the back yard."

The door Mia was talking about was the moon door that separated the front and back yards of the courtyard. At this moment, the Devil Merchant and Wei Xun were standing in front of the Moon Gate.

In the simple and slightly dilapidated courtyard house, the white walls in the past have turned into light gray, and unknown vines are climbing on the dark tiles. A lifeless brown color appears in the cold rain.

In the center of the wall is an almost perfectly circular doorway, which can accommodate two people passing through at the same time.

"You said it bit you?"

Wei Xun touched the edge of the doorway. There is a jade-like 'edge' on the inside of this round moon door, but this is not jade.

Yu Hehui wrinkled his nose and whispered: "It's a bone."

Like two abnormally curved ribs, the left and right ribs are connected up and down to form this perfectly circular door.

"Not bad, quite unique."

Wei Xun said happily: "I like living in this kind of special room."

Previously, Xiaolongyizhuang lived in a 360-degree corpse view room, and the house they lived in this time was not an ordinary courtyard house.

"Is this where your cloak was bitten to pieces?"

Wei Xun glanced at the ground in the middle of the Moon Gate, and could still see a few small pieces of shredded and tattered blue rags.

"It's not biting, it's closing."

The devil merchant said solemnly. He used the tour guide's flagpole as a staff and picked up all the rags of the cloak.

He was afraid to look at the middle of the Moon Gate: "This house, it is alive."

He went to the main room to get the room key. When he came out, two door panels suddenly popped out of the round door. The force was so strong that the hem of his cloak was caught and easily torn out of the gap.

The devil businessman shuddered, this is the hotel cloak that is said to never be damaged! If he takes one step slower, I'm afraid he will be locked up in the backyard or be torn to pieces by the Moon disciples. The devil merchant was worried that the street gate would suddenly close, so he went out without dealing with the fragments of his cloak.

Now the Moon Gate is exactly the same as when we first entered. In front of Wei Xun and his puppets, the devil merchant did not hide the matter and specifically mentioned the strangeness of this door.

Because their tour guide had to live in a wing in the backyard and would pass through the moon gate several times a day, Wei Xun would notice something strange sooner or later.

Moreover, the devil merchant is also worried about when the door will close again and trap him. To reciprocate the favor, he hoped that Wei Xun could see some clues.

After all, even if he learns to speak Chinese and crams in some knowledge about Chinese funeral folk customs, this country has such a long history and there are too many customs and taboos, big and small, that the devil merchant cannot fully understand.

"You just went to get the room card. Logically speaking, you shouldn't be targeted."

Wei Xun said, the main and deputy tour guides have different tasks during the trip. The leading role mainly involves communicating with tourists, choosing the itinerary, allocating accommodation, introducing attractions, etc. The assistant guide is responsible for leading the way, receiving and distributing tickets, communicating with NPCs, etc.

Of course, these tasks can also be negotiated. After all, his current 'relationship' with the devil merchant is not bad. It’s just that it’s not yet needed.

There is no one else in this courtyard. It should be very safe for the devil businessman to get the room card, just like when Wei Xun went to Xiaolong Yizhuang to get the room card. Moreover, by entering first, he can observe the terrain here first and gain an advantage. , no matter how you look at it, this is a good thing.

Except this moon gate.

"It's not targeting you, then it's a physiological action."

After examining it, Wei Xun quickly lost interest in the Moon Gate and walked quickly to the backyard. The devil businessman was slightly startled, and then his expression suddenly changed.

He understood what Wei Xun meant!

The Devil Merchant was just thinking about whether this was some traditional Chinese folk custom, and he had violated some taboos. But they ignore that the city they live in is considered to be a city inside the body.

If you look at the Eight-Armed Nezha City and Leigu Hutong from within the body, there will definitely be various physiological reactions. The same is true for the Moon Gate, just like a person opening and closing his mouth.

The devil merchant frowned and walked into the backyard with Wei Xun. He realized that his focus was biased, which was also the drawback of traveling to a foreign country.

In a foreign country, people always pay more attention to the local traditional customs, especially a country with a long history like China. In the eyes of their Western tourists, there is an inexplicable mystery and terror.

Siheyuan buildings with national characteristics, like the funeral paper figures we encountered on the minibus just now, made the devil merchant focus all his attention on folk taboos. And although the Devil Merchant has learned Chinese, it is not his native language after all.

It's okay to have a simple and clear place name like Wuzang Temple. When it comes to places like Leigu Hutong and Esophagus Mouth, the Devil Merchant can't immediately think of the homophones of 'ribs' and 'esophagus'. Once something goes wrong, he will immediately think of it. The reaction is to think about folklore.

Sure enough, I was still a little constrained.

The Devil Merchant reflected on himself, but he was not in a hurry. As he said, he was a master of the soul. And he is capturing the soul of a golden boy on this journey.

Even the soul of the giant paper man...he had a glimpse of it.

What kind of learning can be faster than learning directly from the soul? He just didn't have time just now. Give him a few hours to analyze the soul, and the devil merchant can completely grasp the information in the journey.

In the afternoon, passengers are free to move around, which is a good time.

"Qianjiazhi got furious and said he wanted to kill me."

The two of them were thinking about their own things and chatting absentmindedly. Suddenly, Wei Xun said casually: "Devil merchant, did you steal its soul?"

Wei Xun was deceiving him, and what he got was Qianjiazhi's "appreciation" as well!

In fact, Wei Xun didn't think that the devil businessman could really steal Qianjiazhi's soul, but his tour guide flag was stained by Qianjiazhi and turned into paper gray, which Wei Xun noticed.

The tour guide flag is not easy to be contaminated. It directly represents the hotel and is even higher than the tour guide's cloak. Therefore, the devil merchant must have also tampered with the guide flag.

Did it steal a bit of the other party's mental pollution, or plunder some of its pulp?

Wei Xun deliberately exaggerated, saying it was like bargaining.

Stealing paper pulp, hurting the paper man, and stealing a bit of Qianjia Paper's soul - he directly used the most difficult thing to defraud the devil merchant!

How did she know that I had stolen a trace of Qianjia Paper’s soul? !

The devil merchant was shocked, his expression remained unchanged, and his brain was thinking rapidly.

She is cheating!

The Devil Merchant quickly realized this. After the giant paper man retreated, Xiaocui said, 'Thanks to you, I hurt the soul of the paper man' - she must have known that he had hurt Qianjiazhi's soul!

Little did he know that this was not just an injury, but that he had truly stolen a trace of his soul.

But Xiaocui is very smart, she directly uses the higher one to cheat.

Oh, can I still not understand your thoughts?

"How is that possible? You think too highly of me!"

The Devil Merchant retorted resolutely. The corners of his mouth under the hood were actually raised, but he was smiling. He enjoyed the conversation and confrontation with Xiao Cui: "It's your flames that can hurt Qianjiazhi more."

"You and I both know exactly why Qianjiazhi is angry."

Something is wrong.

Wei Xun was surprised. The devil merchant's answer was wrong.

Could he have really stolen a trace of Qianjia Paper's soul? !

"You are right. I did hurt its soul."

The devil merchant said deeply. It is not advisable to be weak all the time. He does not want to leave a weak impression in front of Xiao Cui.

But he was interrupted by Wei Xun before he finished speaking: "You did steal its soul!"

Good guy, he really tricked it out!

The devil merchant is really not to be underestimated. He is really an expert in souls.

Wei Xun immediately became interested. What on earth is Qianjia Paper? If he can study its soul first, it is very likely to get twice the result with half the effort!

"We'll share half when we meet."

Wei Xun lowered his voice and threatened openly: "You must refine the soul after you get it. Do you want to wait until the afternoon when the passengers are free to move around?"

"Give me some, and I'll help you protect the law in the afternoon."

"We live together, and I can't hide any of your little moves. If I deliberately mess with you... hum."

Live together...

The devil merchant's mind flashed, yes, that's right, he and Xiao Cui will live in the same room. He didn't think about it before, but now he turned his mind a little...

Oh, a gentleman should not live with an unmarried lady, although this 'lady' now uses a male voice, and the body under the cloak is thin, but it also looks like a man.

"It's impossible to give it to you, that trace of soul is too little."

Xiao Cui is so smart, it's meaningless to hide it. The devil merchant directly put out his price.

"But when I analyze the soul, you can watch from the side. Of course, as a price, you not only have to help me protect the law, but also--"

The devil merchant looked at Xiao Cui and her 'puppet' meaningfully.

"Show me your Sky Fox Ball again."

Who is the master and who is the puppet?

He will know soon.
