Chapter 73

Being pulled away by Old Man Gou, my arm was in great pain. I quickly shook off his strong hand, took a few breaths, and then asked: "Old Man Gou, who were these people just now?"

"They are all crazy. Each one is more crazy than the other. Just ignore them."

Old Man Gou threw a few words at me, and I could only hold back all the questions I had. I didn't know why. Gou Keqing didn't want to say more about them.

"Where are we going?" I changed the question.

"Go to my store, why do you think I pay that damn woman a million in rent? Isn't it just to open a store here and make money?"

Old man Gou looked at me like a fool.

I'm speechless.

A few minutes later, we arrived at the second floor.

The lights here were brightly lit. Along the way, I saw gyms, beauty salons, various snack shops, and some shops selling two-dimensional clothing. I saw almost no customers, and the shop owners were nowhere to be seen.

"It's night now, and there are almost no customers until midnight, but it's different during the day. The customers here are all rich or expensive. Did you see the 'Shanhai Snack Shop' over there? Their tofu noodles and

A meal of fried dough sticks costs hundreds of yuan, and even in the morning, demand exceeds supply."

Old man Gou pointed to the shop not far away.

I looked over in surprise and saw the signboard on the door. There were photos on it. It was indeed fried dough sticks, soy milk, steamed buns, etc. The question is, why are they so expensive?

Seemingly seeing the doubt in my eyes, Old Man Gou said: "Just two words, delicious! Did you see that 'Yujia Wine Shop'? Their wine is delicious, therefore, it is expensive."

Although he explained it, I always felt that he didn't understand it clearly.

Delicious food and delicious drinks sound like that, but what kind of place is this? A cemetery. Which rich person would go to the high-rise shops in the cemetery early in the morning and pay high prices just for delicious food and drinks?

It feels like Old Man Gou is talking too much.

I'm sorry to yell at him.

When I walked to the last store, I looked up at the signboard and felt helpless.

"Master Gou Numerology Center."

That's right, those are the six gilded characters on the signboard.

"Gou Keqing, a master of numerology, is proficient in exorcism, Feng Shui, divination, fortune telling, numerology, fortune telling, dream fortune telling, and luck selection.

We provide customers with horoscope fortune telling, marriage divination, fortune divination, prediction of good and bad luck, Feng Shui prediction, location selection for a ghost house, change of fortune for a yang house, exorcism and elimination of demons, prayer for business start, naming of men and women, company naming and many other services.

The price is fair, and we are honest. Please spread the word. Your appointment phone number is..."

The light sign next to the door describes the services provided by this store.

After I finished browsing with my eyes wide open, I looked back at Gou Keqing, whose face was full of pride, and couldn't help but say: "Emotions, you are always a genius."

Peng!

Got hit on the head.

Gou Keqing angrily pointed at me, who was holding my head and crying out in pain, and cursed: "What a fool? I am a real master."

I rubbed my head and felt a buzzing in my head, which was quite severe.

"What a heavy blow." He muttered dissatisfiedly.

"What did you say?"

Gou Keqing raised his brows and made a gesture to roll up his sleeves.

I quickly smiled and said: "Master, you are a veritable master."

Only then did Gou Keqing stop his momentum.

He opened the door and walked in, and I followed him into the house.

The area here is not large, only about thirty square meters, but there is a door at the back, which obviously leads to several other rooms.

"Although the working area is small, there are several large rooms in the back, with a total of 200 square meters. Otherwise, there is no way to use the millions of rent."

Gou Keqing's words aroused my interest.

"The store that serves customers only has 30 square meters, so what is the other 1,670 square meters used for?"

Unable to contain my curiosity, I asked.

"It's for sleeping."

Gou Keqing's words made me speechless. Even if you are tall, you don't need such a big place for your bedroom, right?

But he had no intention of taking me to visit the back. He just sat on a Taishi chair with his chin slightly lowered.

I understood, so I sat on a wooden chair nearby and looked around. It was similar to the decorations in the house of those magicians in my impression.

There are portraits of the founders of the Three Qing dynasties on the wall. There is an incense burner in front with incense burning inside. There are fruits and melon tributes on the table. All kinds of peach wood swords are hung all over the wall. There are also some antique calligraphy and paintings and other things. They all look...

Worth a fortune.

Of course, if it's a fake, it's worthless.

The table in front of Old Man Gou was fully equipped with the Four Treasures of the Study, including tooth tablets for fortune telling, tortoise shells, yarrow, copper coins and other items.

There are some professional books randomly placed on the other side, such as "The Essence of Ditian", "Zi Ping Zhen Interpretation", "Exploring the Origin of Numerology", "Commentary on Zhouyi", "The Number of Plum Blossoms", "The Method of Najia", "Taiwan"

"Yi Shen Shu", "Secrets of Qi Men Dun Jia", "Must Study in the Temple", "Authentic Divination" and so on.

I just glanced at them and the contents of these books automatically came to my mind.

In the early years, I scribbled down the relevant books I could find. I didn’t understand them, but the contents were copied in my mind like a printer.

The books that Old Man Gou has here are just a drop in the ocean.

"Have you read these books?"

Uncle Gou noticed the look in my eyes.

I smiled slightly: "Put it on your back."

"What? Did you memorize it?"

Old Man Gou was shocked.

"Yes, when I have nothing to do, I find some numerology books and memorize them, which is a way to strengthen my memory."

I stated the facts calmly.

"You're bragging, young people are not interested in this kind of book, let alone reciting it, not many can read it once."

Old Man Gou expressed his disbelief and tugged at the collar of his black coat with a strong sense of disdain.

"You can always take the teaching test, but if I win, you have to give me some rewards."

I rolled my eyes and decided to trick him.

"What reward do you want?"

Old man Gou is an old fox, so of course he won't accept it all at once.

"As you know, I was chased by evil spirits in a very embarrassing way, and I managed to save my life with great difficulty.

During this process, I discovered one thing: I was not fast enough.

If I can hide faster or escape faster, even if the opponent is a monster, it will be difficult to hurt me.

Unfortunately, I don’t have any powerful body skills, so if you always lose, can you teach me a set of light body skills for free? In this way, the chance of saving my life will be greatly increased when I encounter evil things again."

I immediately made a huge offer.

The secret book of Maoshan Ghost Sect clearly states that our sect is not good at physical skills and alchemy. For these things, our disciples need to go out to look for opportunities.

I think Old Man Gou must be good at refining alchemy or something like that, but he doesn’t have that interest and doesn’t have the time. But in terms of physical skills, what he lacks the most is his body skills. Fast speed is the key. If his body skills are not good, he will not meet the requirements.

"You're quite a kid. It's free, so that's not impossible, but you have to pass the test first. If you don't pass, then the loan of five hundred thousand from me is forfeit. Do you want to give it a try?"

Old man Gou is waiting for me here, trying to get five hundred thousand for nothing.
