Midnight Bookstore - Chapter 259
Chapter 259: Locking the Dragon and Connecting the Two Worlds
Qu Mingming’s breathing became faster and faster, and he could feel that the change was becoming more and more obvious. At this time, he was already showing signs of losing control of himself.
Damn it..,
why was he so relaxed after drinking it? !
Qu mingming originally thought that the effects of the medicine were not enough, but now he had some lingering fear.
As a doctor, especially in traditional Chinese medicine, the most important thing to do when administering medicine was to be peaceful. Unless it was a last resort, he would never use a strong medicine. However, the effect of this medicine was clearly at the limit of what an ordinary person could endure.
If Zhou Ze was an ordinary person, there would definitely be a problem now.
There was no time to decoct the medicine. Qu Ming chose a few medicinal herbs and directly put them into his mouth to chew. At the same time, he opened the curtain of his “Studio”. There were many small bottles filled with all kinds of Gu Worms.
He took out a bottle with a soft caterpillar-like worm inside. Qu Ming put his arm in without saying anything and pressed his finger on the worm.
The worm’s body was invaded, and it immediately reacted and bit Qu Ming’s finger.
A cold feeling instantly spread throughout his body,
but Qu Ming felt exceptionally comfortable,
the hot fire in his body was finally suppressed.
“Damn it… however…”
A voice suddenly sounded,
“Who is it!”
Qu Ming’s hair suddenly stood on end. This was the third floor of his internet cafe, a forbidden area that belonged to him alone. In wuxia novels, it was equivalent to a place for closed-door cultivation.
How could outsiders come here so easily?
Did they really think that all the Gu worms stayed in the jar like obedient babies?
“The detestable thing is that you actually refined gu with such a lowly method..,
however..,
the method you used was the purest ancient Chinese medical method.”
A black figure slowly walked out from the wall. His true appearance could not be seen clearly, but he truly existed.
“Senior, who are you?”
Doctors were not considered people in the pugilistic world, but the specialty of the profession made them have to deal with people from all walks of life.
Moreover, with the experience of being intimidated by a room full of zombies in the bookstore, Qu Ming’s mental quality had obviously improved a lot. At least when he encountered some strange things, he could still calm down.
“In ancient times, medicine and Gu were not separated. The Doctor was also a part-time wizard divination profession.
“After the Yellow Emperor, the doctor held his own identity and abandoned mixing. He specialized in healing and saving people. Things like Gu worms have long been thrown away as trash.
“You, this junior, are good…”
“You actually picked it up again.”.
“No matter how good a Gu worm is, it is still a different species. I am here to advise you to turn back soon. With Your Aptitude, you have a chance to become the country’s great doctor. Don’t be misled by unorthodox methods.”.
The disciple that I took in ten years ago was also an excellent seedling to pass on the teachings. Who knew that ten years later, he would actually become a good cook.
Don’t follow in his footsteps!
The Righteous Path of the human world is filled with vicissitudes of life,
we Righteous Path people naturally have our eyes on the future of the righteous path. We should keep our bodies clean.”
The black shadow spoke with confidence and spoke a lot as an elder.
Qu Ming was a little dumbfounded. In his opinion, this fellow in front of him was really too stupid. He was like an old pedant. The law had no form and the technique had its specialty. He could use a gu worm to treat a disease. The methods were different but the purpose was the same, did he need you to compete here?
However, Qu Ming still cupped his fists and said respectfully,
“Junior is taught.”
“Yes, you are indeed worthy of being taught. I have left Tong City for ten years, but I realized that it has become so filthy, with demons and monsters everywhere.
Now…”
I don’t have time to care about you, I only hope that you take care of yourself.
“In addition…”
“Tonight, I will clean up the demonic atmosphere and clear up the city. You stay here tonight and don’t go out. Otherwise, I won’t be polite to the monster cultivator.”
Qu Ming was shocked,
instinctively..,
when the shadow said that he wanted to clean up the demonic atmosphere, he thought of the bookstore across from his house. There were several zombies there.
But at this time..,
qu Ming could only lower his head and choose to accept it,
it was a person’s instinct to protect himself. Qu Ming had only known the people in the bookstore for a few days, so naturally, he did not have the thought of risking his life to protect them.
He only hoped that..,
they could safely survive this crisis.
“At least you know your place.”
The Black Shadow disappeared into the wall again and disappeared.
Qu Ming sat down on the ground,
his expression was..,
a little lonely.
..
“Cut the chicken, cut the chicken, cut the chicken… cut the chicken, cut the chicken!
Aunty, sweep the road!
Cut the chicken, cut the chicken, cut the chicken… cut the chicken, cut the chicken!
Don’t hide!”
The old man hummed an unknown song as he swept the road. Logically speaking, this should be the work of the Cleaners Tomorrow Morning. The old man could be considered to have helped them lighten their burden.
Of course..,
if the Cleaners saw an old man who was almost 70 years old sweeping the road for them, they might not be moved at first. Instead, they might think that the old man wanted to use sweeping the road to scam them.
The little monkey sat on the old man’s shoulder. The old man bought a small schoolbag for it. In the schoolbag, there were many snacks, dried fruits, and other things.
The old priest really liked the monkey smash. He had no children, so he really raised the monkey as his own grandson.
In the bookstore, the monkey naturally ostracized boss Zhou, but it was also extremely close to the old priest.
In the aspect of repaying kindness,
animals were indeed more reliable than people sometimes.
At this time, the little monkey was peeling peanuts, eating one for himself, and then stuffing one into the old priest’s mouth.
A man and a monkey,
they were very happy,
sweeping the road,
even in the middle of the night, they were still very happy.
Sweeping and sweeping,
the wind was blowing,
then, out of nowhere, a large area of trash was blown over.
“Damn it!”
The old priest shook his head somewhat helplessly. Most of his efforts just now had been in vain.
That’s right. He had a broom for each of them. Not to mention this city, even this street seemed like a drop in the bucket.
Monkey, who was eating peanuts, suddenly shook his little paws, and the peanuts in his hands fell to the ground.
“Even you, Kid, are causing trouble for me, aren’t you?”
The old priest said snappily.
Monkey’s two paws grabbed the old priest’s ears, and he turned the old priest’s face to the left. The old priest looked in that direction.
Under the dim yellow street light,
a hunched figure was slowly walking over.
That gust of wind was centered around him, just like how a big character would always scatter flower petals to create some wind when he appeared.
“Damn it, what the Hell Is This?”
The Old Daoist had served two ghost bosses before, so how could he often walk by the river… Oh No, it was the saying, “One who gets close to the ink gets black”… not really. In short, the old Daoist was no longer the same as before, and his sense of some auras was much sharper than before.
He could sense that..,
the voice in front of him, which was approaching step by step, was unusual.
Subconsciously,
he reached into his crotch,
a bright yellow talisman paper mixed with a few black curly hairs was taken out by him.
“Hehe.”
The hunchbacked figure smiled lightly,
“Our ancestors used to be generous, but the juniors didn’t live up to expectations, and they actually teamed up with evil demons and monsters. It’s really an insult to our ancestors, an insult to our ancestors!”
“F * ck your ancestors!”
The old priest cursed loudly.
“HMPH, for the sake of your ancestors, you can leave. In the future, take care of yourself and walk the righteous path. Although you’re already old and it’s impossible for you to walk the path of cultivation, at least stay away from evil demons and keep a clean body. Otherwise, when you go to Hell in the future, how will you have the face to meet your ancestors?”
“I have a VIP channel when I go to Hell. I don’t need you to worry here!”
The old Daoist knew the principle of not losing when you lose.
But in the next moment..,
a few fallen leaves suddenly flew over. The ground in front of the old Daoist Yu drew out several sparks, and several grooves and cracks actually appeared on the hard ground of the road.
“Hiss…”
The hand holding the talisman paper..,
trembled slightly.
Your mom is stinking high..,
using the fallen leaves as throwing knives. You’re from the god of Gamblers’faction, right? Using a poker card as a bullet.
“Do you think you can scare me like this?”
Old Daoist took a step forward,
he was not bad looking to begin with, and he had the air of a fairy. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to be so popular during the live broadcast.
At this moment..,
the old Daoist’s sleeves fluttered in the wind,
his feathered crown stood tall,
he had the posture of a man who would move forward even if there were millions of people!
The monkey on the old Daoist’s shoulder also knocked on the old Daoist’s hat with a “Dong Dong Dong”sound, as if it was drumming on a war drum, cheering for the old Daoist.
The stooped figure’s eyes revealed a hint of admiration,
he said softly,
“You still have some courage…”
But in the next moment..,
the old priest suddenly looked pensive:
“I suddenly feel that what you said makes sense. This penniless priest still has to keep a clean body. Thank you for your advice. This penniless priest is planning to travel around now. See you if fate permits!”
With that, the old priest turned around and left.
He knew his own limitations. He was really not very good at fighting. He was not afraid of fighting ordinary people, but this level of old monsters should be left to the boss and the others to deal with, he only needed to protect his useful body and serve the boss well, which was his greatest contribution.
But who knew..,
the hunchbacked figure suddenly flashed,
it directly appeared on the old priest’s escape path and blocked the old priest.
“What are you doing!”
The old priest was so scared that he suddenly pulled back his leg.
“You can go, but…”
He had to stay.
When a monster appeared, everyone had to kill it,
this is the duty of the Righteous!”
The old Daoist did not leave,
the monkey was so scared that its hands were tightly clutching the old Daoist’s shoulders and clothes. It was very worried that the old Daoist would leave it behind.
This made it recall some unpleasant memories from its previous life.
“You want this poor Daoist’s monkey to smash?”The Old Daoist roared. “Then this poor Daoist wants your eggs to smash!”
I’m not running anymore!
I want to run together!
I want to leave the monkey behind and run together..,
the old priest couldn’t do such a thing!
The old priest who had always called himself “The heavens do not give birth to me, but the land does, and the path of cowardice is like the long night”..,
today, he finally became strong-willed.
“Hehe, then you should die together with me. Those who are obstinate and unrepentant will be condemned as the same as the demons.”
Monkey Smash took out the Yin-yang book from his small schoolbag,
he began to “Squeak squeak squeak”at the hunchbacked figure,
that’s right,
boss Zhou’s yin-yang book was still with monkey,
this was boss Zhou’s way of doing things. Such an important magical artifact was really left to monkey to keep.
Such a willful way of doing things..,
only salted fish Zhou could do it.
“Hahahaha…”
The hunchbacked figure suddenly laughed loudly when he saw monkey pointing the yin-yang book at him,
he pointed at monkey and said,
“Using the book from the previous dynasty to recruit people from the current dynasty, sir, you really have great authority.”
