Chapter 44: The Corpse King
Not long after Luo and I had finished shopping and returned to our lodgings, Mr. Storyteller hurried over and apologised for what he had said about me as Hu Yi, and apologized for his previous Hu Yi in fear.
He came to apologize and attracted a lot of visitors for me.
I was immediately irritable and quickly restrained, pressed the sudden anger and murderous intent, once again piled up a harmless smile of people and animals, walked out of the store and walked in front of the storyteller, and generously forgave me.
At this point, I noticed that Team Yan, who I hadn't seen for many years, was also among the spectators in plain clothes.
I then went on to mention that the paper man who looked after the store for me was my second uncle, and Luo, who returned with me this time, was the granddaughter of the paper man.
In this way, not only does the paper man have an identity in front of the people, but also the paper man can look after the store for me and contribute money and efforts to rebuild the store for me, which no longer seems too plain for no reason.
The spectators suddenly realized their expressions, and only Team Yan squinted their eyes slightly.
He is undoubtedly still haunting that the case he handled ten years ago has been included in the unsolved case, and he still suspects that the murderer has something to do with me even if he is not, so he is skeptical of anything I say.
He will come to the town again to have a plan, the picture will naturally not be me who just showed up today, the picture is naturally related to the case at hand.
It just so happened that he would blend in with the crowd of spectators.
He couldn't hide his anxiety, the case at hand was bound to be tricky, and he was probably out of the picture.
Seeing Team Yan's reaction, I then announced that the shop would also take over divination and exorcism business in the future.
Surprise flashed in Team Yan's eyes, and my smile became even stronger.
After waiting for the storyteller and the spectators to disperse, Team Yan left his police officer in place and walked straight towards me as scheduled: "It's really a female college eighteen changes, and the thrush is now a standard beauty." ”
"The set is almost useless. I'm a regular shop. I stood in place in the wind, smiling and letting Team Yan come up to me.
"I just came over to say hello. Team Yan smiled awkwardly.
"Since I'm not here to deliver money, please go back. I don't like to catch up. "I turned around and was about to go back to the store.
"Don't don't, why is your unkind personality still the same as when you were a child?" Team Yan hurriedly stopped me.
"Team Yan is quite attentive to me. I don't even remember much about my childhood. Team Yan wants to help me remember it again?" I frowned slightly, and smiled gradually.
"The past is gone, and there's nothing to remember. We get down to business. Team Yan was even more embarrassed, so he stopped talking nonsense and began to mention the purpose of his coming to town.
He came to the town to chase the murderer, but after the suspect fled here, he suddenly disappeared from the world and could not be found.
He was sure that the killer had not fled elsewhere and wanted me to tell him the location of the murderer.
After Team Yan explained the purpose of his visit to the town, I didn't ask anything, let alone ridicule him for believing in strange forces as a patrolman.
I took him into the shop and based on the identity information he provided about the suspect, I found the tortoise shell and immediately began divination.
As I divined the results, it was time for Team Yan to pay.
I only took one piece, and Team Yan was stunned and said thank you before leaving the store quickly.
Luo stood at the door of the store and watched Team Yan and then rushed towards the direction I had divined, wondering why I had to accommodate Team Yan.
If I don't want Team Yan to doubt me anymore, I can kill him.
"It is easy to pay for money, and it is difficult for people to return to him, which is applicable to him. Killing him, while quick and effective, will not lead to any further benefits. When dealing with people, you can't always shout and kill, you must make good use of people's feelings. "I explained the tortoise shell on the table, and then asked Luo to ask where the paper man had received the relics of Lao Dao when he rebuilt the shop.
Luo Yi did what he said, and the paper man quickly brought two large boxes.
I took out the notes of Lao Dao about exorcism, divination, and the selection of the day and sealed them in the box, and instructed the paper man to bring the box back for preservation, and then let the paper man be responsible for making a signboard for the store.
The signboard only needs to have the word Gu Ji written on it.
After the paper man took the order and left, Luo stayed on the first floor to watch the store, and I went to the third floor to practice internal skills.
Before noon, the paper man had already brought a signboard made of black golden silk nanmu.
I went downstairs after receiving Luo's notice, and was about to hang up the signboard when Team Yan arrived with his police officers.
Team Yan greeted him with a happy face, and the police officer who greeted him took over the job of hanging the signboard, and he himself went to the nearest store to buy a cannon.
With the signboard hanging and the cannon lit, Gu Ji officially opened.
Amid the sound of firecrackers, Team Yan gave me a thumbs up and shouted thank you.
I smiled lightly, and after the firecrackers went out, I went to the store and sealed red envelopes and distributed them to him, his police officers, and the onlookers.
The amount in the red envelope is different, his two thousand, the police officers are two hundred, and the rest are twenty.
He grabbed the red envelope he had sealed and had not had time to give away to congratulate me on my opening, and was stunned again.
"The red envelopes of the store owner are for good luck. It cannot be received, and it cannot be returned. I explained with a smile.
Since it is difficult for the favor to be applied to him, I naturally will not give him a chance to repay it easily, and I will let him owe more and more, and then take back the principal and interest when he can use him.
After I explained, I continued to distribute red envelopes.
When I finished sending the red envelope, he said goodbye to me with a police officer with complicated eyes and left his mobile phone number.
After sending them to the car and seeing them leave, I returned to the third floor to continue my internal cultivation.
During the night, I was about to rest, and the ground shook slightly with the sound of an explosion.
Luo then sniffed a few times.
"Corpse Change, Corpse King, I seem to smell the Corpse King. Luo couldn't hide his surprise, smacking his tongue that there would be a corpse king in this place.
The corpse king in Luo's mouth will naturally not be the legendary four corpse kings of the generals and Houqing, but the corpse kings raised by people.
The corpse kings in the present world are all impossible to raise.
The corpse king is difficult to raise, even if the time and place are extremely good, it will take at least ten years to cultivate.
Who's raising the corpse?
I can't help but think of that killing ten years ago.
Even though the dust had settled on the killing, the word Corpse King stirred my emotions.
I quickly dressed up and took the Emei thorn and the coffin nail rope to take Luo out of the store, and then followed Luo's guidance to follow the smell of the corpse king to find it as quickly as possible.
In the dark night, all the corpses along the way have been mutated and blown to the ground, or skeletons or half-decomposed, or the corpses are intact, and they all bow down in the direction of the corpse king.
The closer we got to the Corpse King's direction, the more Luo couldn't contain her panic.
She's a corpse after all.
She couldn't avoid the terrifying and powerful aura of the Corpse King, which became clearer and clearer.
I told Luo to go back, and Luo insisted on continuing to explore the way for me.
Luo finally confirmed for me that the smell of the Corpse King was coming from a deep pit.
The deep pit is hidden in the mountains and forests, and the grass around it is like a dove's tail without life, and the tang qi does not collect the yin qi and does not disperse, it is the dead tripe cave is the dangerous place where the main corpse is raised.
Outside the pit were scattered with fresh dirt and broken sarcophagus covers, as well as seven willow trees that were originally used to gather resentment for the Seven Stars.
I stopped near the pit and hid nearby, put the shivering Luo on the ground beside me, stabbed the blade and shook the coffin nail rope, waiting for the corpse king to come out of the pit or the corpse keeper to appear.
After a few breaths, liquid dripped from above and onto the top of my head.
I tilted my head back.
On the branches above me, a huge black bat hangs.
The bat was born with a miserable white face, red eyes, fangs exposed, dripping liquid from saliva running down its fangs, and its red eyes staring straight at me.
The miserable white face was less than a meter above my head.
I was sure and sure that there was no longer any presence on the branches of the tree when I hid nearby, so the bat only crept into existence after I hid nearby.
