Chapter 470: The evil ghost seeks revenge, greed is hard to appease
Nine taels of silver was indeed a lot of money. Ordinary people could not earn more than three or five hundred copper coins after working hard for a whole year. If Li Changxiao did not go to those brothels known as "gold-spending dens", the nine taels of silver would not be enough to buy wine, food, and housing. He would live so leisurely for several months and it would not be enough.
Li Changxiao began to pack his clothes for the next journey. He had always been a person who enjoyed the most wealth according to the money he had. When he had no money, he would sleep with beggars, eat and sleep in the open air. Sometimes he could eat less, but he had to sleep. Even if he was in a sea of fire and swords, he had to have a good sleep. He could do whatever he wanted.
But if you have money, it will be different. Money is a heavy burden, so the right thing to do is to spend it quickly and exchange it for a moment of happiness.
This thing cannot be kept. It cannot be kept.
He wrapped the silver in linen and went to the West Market to buy a backpack, then to the East Market to buy rice, then to the South Market to buy seasonings, and finally to the North Market to buy a new set of clothes.
He always loved white clothes for a simple and vulgar reason, just because they were handsome. There were three ways to buy clothes in Qingrao City. One was to buy cloth and sew it at home. The second was to buy ready-made clothes directly. Even if they didn't fit well, he could still wear them. The third was to go to a tailor shop and have a piece tailored to his measurements.
Li Changxiao was taller than the average person, so he had few choices. The ready-made clothes in the clothing store were almost not suitable for him, so he had to pay for custom-made ones. After careful selection, he finally chose a tailor shop on North Street. The owner was a slender man, taciturn, with slender and flexible fingers.
Male tailors are rare these days. Li Changxiao inquired further and found out that this male tailor is extremely famous in the city. His skillful hands have made many women ashamed.
All the clothes he made were exquisite, fitted, comfortable and beautiful. As the saying goes, every trade has its own top talent, and women don't necessarily weave cloth, and men don't necessarily farm. Most of the customers in the tailor's shop are women. There are women from wealthy families who come in groups of two or three, pick up clothes, move their bodies and smile happily.
There were many young gentlemen gathered in the restaurant opposite the tailor shop. They were drinking and listening to the chirping sounds coming from the restaurant. Their hearts were fluttering and their minds were drifting away without knowing where else.
Li Changxiao entered the store and also wanted to order custom-made clothes. Immediately, many women looked at him and whispered to each other. They secretly commented on the man in white with their best friends.
Another gust of spring breeze brings up waves.
The male tailor raised his eyebrows. He had received many male customers, but it was rare to see such a beautiful woman. After being slightly surprised, he began to measure the body, select the materials... Finally, he paid a deposit and told Li Changxiao that he could come to pick up the clothes in three days.
Li Changxiao thanked him and wished him great fortune. The shop was filled with smiles again. The handsome man had a good appearance and a sweet mouth, which made people happy.
There are already many girls waiting to get married, who are secretly inquiring about the man in white's background, and are attracted by the man's love, so they want to ask a matchmaker to arrange a marriage for them.
......
One evening, Li Changxiao came home drunk. He had been drinking in a restaurant before and had an argument with someone, which almost led to a fight. The reason was simple: he and someone were playing finger-guessing games, but because the rules were different in different places, they had different opinions.
The man was drunk and had a bad temper. He didn't listen to anything and picked up a stool to hit Li Changxiao. Li Changxiao couldn't bear it, so he punched the man twice, and finally beat the drunk man into submission and he became listless.
It turns out that he is a bully who only bullies the weak and fears the strong. He swallows his anger and dares not speak loudly anymore. It must be said that sometimes, fists are the most convincing language.
After leaving the restaurant, Li Changxiao rented a guest room, which was just two streets away from the restaurant and just around two corners. It was very close.
But there were gusts of cold wind on the road, making people feel very uncomfortable. When I turned a corner, I suddenly saw a figure standing upright at the corner, which coincidentally blocked my way.
Li Changxiao opened his sleepy eyes, only to see that person. His figure was vague and transparent, and looked extremely creepy under the moonlight.
The figure slowly turned around, revealing a pale face, with blood still dripping slowly from his heart.
At midnight, at the corner of the road, it was a ghost, not a human, a fierce ghost blocking the road. Li Changxiao looked carefully and he recognized the ghost. It was the beggar Daoge who he had killed in Xiaodao Lane.
It is thought that when enemies meet, they are particularly jealous of each other. Brother Dao exuded coldness and after turning into a fierce ghost, he immediately came to seek revenge, which shows how great his resentment was.
The wailing sound absorbed the soul, and the form of Brother Dao's evil ghost had already solidified into a physical entity.
"I said, even if I become a ghost, I won't let you go!"
The creepy ghost spoke in human language, and every word he said was filled with endless hatred and the pleasure of revenge.
After saying this, he did not intend to attack, but gradually retreated.
He enjoyed the pleasure of revenge bit by bit. Now that he had become a fierce ghost, no matter how powerful the ordinary warriors were, they would not be his match.
But immediately, Brother Ghost Knife was dumbfounded. His ghost body, which he had finally condensed, and his endless hatred, had not yet been vented. He was slapped by Li Changxiao, and his body and soul were almost destroyed.
Li Changxiao was too lazy to even take out his sword. He just used his palm lightly again and completely dispersed the evil ghost. His three souls and seven spirits were completely crushed, and he couldn't even enter the cycle of reincarnation.
"No!" The evil ghost transformed by the beggar Dao Ge completely disappeared from the world in astonishment and surprise.
……
Three days later.
Li Changxiao went to the tailor shop as promised and changed into a new set of clothes. He was dressed in white and looked very elegant, a rare handsome man in the world.
Everything is ready, it's time to move forward.
Before leaving, he went to the noodle shop in the morning. This time, he ordered thick noodles to fill his stomach. The boss was a down-to-earth man and did not cut corners. A big bowl of hot noodles only cost three copper coins.
When the dish was served, Li Changxiao twisted the gourd, rubbed his hands, picked up the chopsticks, blew away some of the heat, took a sip of the hot soup, and began to pick up the noodles with chopsticks to taste them.
Beggars begging on the street.
In a dark corner, there was a man wearing a black hat, staring at the man in white from afar.
He saw the man in white eating noodles and drinking soup, breaking steamed buns and eating bread, swallowed a big mouthful of saliva, and gradually became fascinated.
"Boss, the money is here."
After eating and drinking his fill, the man in white put down four copper coins and turned to walk out of the city.
In the blink of an eye, he had walked more than ten meters away. The man in the black hat panicked and immediately followed him.
He ran and ran, took steps with all his strength, and searched with all his might, but there was no trace of the man in white.
The black hood was blown down by the wind, revealing a hideous face that had been burned by fire, which scared passers-by away and made the girl scream.
He knelt on the ground, his heart filled with hatred, and he still couldn't understand why the other party didn't accept him as a disciple.
Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of white out of the corner of his eye. It was a figure slowly walking out of the city.
Liu Qier shouted at him, "Li Changxiao! Why don't you accept me? Why?"
However, the man in white did not stop and went straight out of the city.
