Chapter 5: The Ghost Pawnshop
Qingtou looked at it carefully and nodded incessantly: "Yes, yes, that's how it was written." ”
Hearing this, Meng Miao's forehead was covered with beads of sweat: "The underworld didn't directly knock you down to the eighteenth layer of hell, it's really good enough for you." ”
Qingtou looked dazed: "What do these three words mean?"
Meng Miao said word by word: "Life, death, book, you made a fake book of life and death." ”
Qingtou trembled and said, "The book of life and death you said is the one used by Lord Yama?"
Meng Miao sighed: "Can there be other books of life and death in the underworld?"
Qingtou sat directly on the sofa, a little stupid, Zou Kun felt that something was wrong: "By the way, even if he made a fake book of life and death, but it took him several days to make the book of life and death, didn't the underworld find out?"
Meng Miao shook his head: "You should have heard that one day above the heavens and one year on the earth, in the same way, one day in the world is one year, even if he does it for a month, it is a matter of several hours for the underworld; ”
Zou Kun nodded, and Jia Qing spat at him: "You are really powerful, you dare to fake things." ”
Zou Kun was looking at Meng Miao: "Then the meaning of the underworld is to ask him to find the true book of life and death?"
Meng Miao nodded: "He didn't learn the writing of the ancient water book, and it's okay to write it according to it, but if it's from memory, it will make mistakes, in fact, I already recognize these three words, but I can't believe that this thing doesn't dare to guess that it is a book of life and death." The meaning of the underworld is to tell him to return the book of life and death. ”
Qingtou muttered this: "How can I find it......"
Zou Kun walked over and slapped him hard, Qingtou cheered up at this time, and looked at everyone again: "I really don't know where to look for it." ”
Zou Kun remembered a detail at this time: "I remember you said that in addition to making the book of life and death, you also made a piece of paper?"
Qingtou nodded: "Yes, yes, there is also a piece of paper, on which is a monster, roughly a lion, but with a single horn growing on it." ”
Jia Qing continued: "It should be straight, right? Good at distinguishing right from wrong, it is usually only at the door of the government office and the criminal prison department." Could it be that this kid has also forged a Haipu official document?"
Meng Miao's face was gloomy: "There is another place where there will be this thing, I will take you there at night." ”
In the evening, Meng Miao took Zou Kun and Jia Qing to an ancient street, and came to an ancient building around left and right, surrounded by a fence outside, and a stone tablet stood at the door, which read: Ancient buildings of the Ming Dynasty: Dehengdang.
Jia Qing looked at it: "This is a pawnshop, what are we doing here?"
Meng Miao looked at it: "Go and inquire about the news." ”
Zou Kun was about to call Fu Bing to stun the guards at this time, but Meng Miao stopped him: "No, no one dares to take care of this place, just open the lock and go in." ”
Zou Kun also felt strange, so he asked Fu Bing to open the key directly, and as soon as they opened it, they saw a gust of yin wind blowing over, rolling up the leaves on the ground, and there was an extremely important yin qi exuding from this courtyard.
The little runes immediately flew out and blocked in front of Zou Kun, and suddenly a burst of ghost fire blew from all directions, and the little ambush soldiers immediately blocked the front.
Jia Qing was extremely happy when he saw this, and immediately took out the Yin Wood Sword and began to slash towards the ghost fire, and the ghost fire trembling wine was sucked in by the wooden sword.
After defeating the ghost fire, Meng Miao looked at the two of them with strange eyes: "You two still can't see ghosts now?"
Zou Kun was embarrassed for a while: "Can't I?
Meng Miao shook her head helplessly and poured out two pills from the white porcelain bottle: "This can allow you to see ghosts in three hours." ”
Jia Qing complained for a while: "Why didn't you take out this good thing earlier?"
After the two of them finished eating the pill, they were startled, and there were many more people in the courtyard at once, and they walked into the house one by one with numb expressions.
Zou Kun asked curiously, "What are these ghosts going for?"
Meng Miao said lightly: "What else can you do except to be a thing?" Let's go." ”
Zou Kun and Jia Qing followed behind them, the two glanced at each other, and Jia Qing said: "You say, now people are burning houses and cars one by one, and they give so many dark coins, and ghosts still use them as things?"
Zou Kun shrugged his shoulders: "Or is it that there are too many coins burned, and the inflation is too serious?"
Jia Qing shook his head: "Ghosts don't need to eat and drink, where does inflation come from?"
Zou Kun was right to think about it, so he followed Meng Miao and walked in, and saw that there was a nine-foot high counter inside, and there was a tall and thin man standing inside, looking at the ghost below with an expressionless face, and the ghost in front of him took out a stone with a blue light and handed it up, with a look of anticipation, the thin and tall man gave birth to three fingers after smelling it.
The ghost's expression began to become a little depressed, and he looked at the tall and thin man with a pleading expression, the tall and thin man just shook his head and ignored it, and the ghost sighed and nodded.
The tall and thin man put the blue stone into the counter, and the ghost walked to the left, took three ancient coin-like objects from the other man, and walked out with some frustration.
Jia Qing was as curious as Zou Kun, what were those things, but he didn't dare to ask now, and at this time, a ghost who came out from the left looked at them: "You're here?"
Meng Miao nodded, and was about to speak, but the ghost sniffed it with his nose, and immediately became stern, and pulled out a bone knife from his back: "Why did you bring the living." ”
As soon as the man stretched out the ancient knife, the little rune soldier immediately rushed over and protected Zou Kun, and Zou Kun immediately took out the pair of antelope horns helplessly.
Not to be outdone, Jia Qing immediately took out the Yin Wood Sword, and as soon as the Yin Wood Sword was shot, the surrounding ghosts couldn't help but take a few steps back.
Meng Miao immediately stopped: "Don't worry, don't worry, they are not ordinary people, they and I are here to get into trouble, not to find fault." ”
The ghost sniffed carefully: "Have you ever eaten Granny Hades's wontons? ”
The two of them then collected their equipment and walked into the back room with him, the furnishings of the back room were very simple, only rows of cabinets, and one of these cabinets stretched far away, completely beyond the space of the normal room.
The four of them sat down, and Meng Miao began to introduce: "This is the human caretaker of the underworld treasury, the treasurer of Qing." Well, I'm actually here to ask a question, did someone take something away from your underworld's treasury?"
Shopkeeper Qing looked at him with some vigilance and fierce eyes: "How do you know?"
Meng Miao cried and smiled: "I just know who made the fake pick-up list, and I also came here for this matter." ”
The shopkeeper heard him say this: "You say, do you know who made the fake, tell me who it is, I'm going to tear him up." ”
Meng Miao hurriedly stopped: "Don't be, don't you want to think about it, you have been suppressing things now, you go and kill now, then everyone knows, what about your reputation?"
Shopkeeper Qing thought about it for a while and felt that it made sense: "What is the purpose of your coming here?"
Meng Miao looked at him: "Do you think this is good? Let's go and help you chase the things, you tell me what that person took away?"
Shopkeeper Qing was obviously a little embarrassed: "This is now the biggest secret of our vault, and we lost a box containing a soul. ”
Meng Miao was stunned: "Whose soul does it have to be put in a box? ”
Shopkeeper Qing also shook his head: "That box has been in our vault for thousands of years, and no one has ever mentioned him, and when someone came to pick it up, we were still wondering how someone would come to take it?"
What's more, we only store things, and we never ask what is inside. It's just that when the thing was taken away, it was recognized by the staff as a soul box, so I guessed that it contained the soul of unknown people. ”
Meng Miao nodded: "Since this is the case, then there is no way, then let's go out and check." ”
After Meng Miaohe left with Zou Kun and Jia Qing, Jia Qing went to ask Meng Miao: "Wizard wizard, what are those ghosts doing?"
Meng Miao's face was expressionless: "They are not selling things but selling things, a kind of stone that is transformed with yin qi in those things, I don't know what to do with it, it is very valuable to ghosts." ”
Jia Qing looked dazed: "Why do you burn so much money in the world, isn't it enough for ghosts?"
Meng Miao laughed: "You all said, If the hell coins burned in the world were useful, the underworld would have been inflated a long time ago, and those ancient coins were what the ghosts needed, and they could go to the ghost market to buy things during Halloween, and they could also go to buy some other things." ”
Jia Qing became satisfied, and Zou Kun said again: "Can you focus on a person who is about to die? Where can we find the person who made the book of life and death?"
Meng Miao frowned: "Actually, have you ever thought about why this is a fake book of life and death?"
Zou Kun thought for a while: "Isn't it to steal beams and change columns?" But it seems that according to the current development, the matter of stealing beams and replacing pillars is still broken, so it is better to steal it directly, unless...... He's just trying to delay for a few days?"
Meng Miao nodded: "Actually, there are many books of life and death, which are managed by fixed ghosts, and the management checks them every day, puts together the people who are going to be taken away in the same year, and then records them."
Those who may not be able to reach the end of their longevity in a few years will be put aside, and the counts will be counted after a while. In other words, in fact, what that person took away was a book of life and death of people who would die later, and it was for this reason that it was found that one was missing when they were counted. ”
