[Dead past, come back alive]
The old bustard god was mysterious and told Zhanzhao and the others about a strange thing that happened recently.
Not long ago, there was a guest in Wanhualou, who had never seen him before, with gray hair and about fifty or sixty years old. This kind of elderly guests are not uncommon, and the kiln sisters are still serving carefully.
This guest only said his surname, not a local, just passing by.
According to the memories of Sister Yao, who served him, this old man was eccentric, and he called Sister Yao into the house, but he fell asleep upside down, and let Sister Yao sleep on the floor.
In this way, he lived in Wanhualou for three days.
Everyone wondered, what kind of hobby is this?
The kiln sister who greeted the old man shook her head, "I have been working on the floor for three days in a row, and my shoulders are bruised." ”
"This man is so strange? How about sleeping in an inn? Zhao Pu felt strange.
"Isn't that it! There are even more evil ones! Sister Yao shook her head, "I woke up early in the morning on the third day, and he actually died in bed for me!" ”
"What?" Gongsun was surprised, "How did you die?" ”
"I don't know what to do, my eyes widened and I straightened, my body was hard, I was scared, so I quickly called my mother for help!"
Everyone looked at the bustard and asked, "How did you solve it?" Did you report to the police for an autopsy? ”
The old bustard said embarrassedly, "Where am I here, where do I dare to report to the official...... First, if someone dies in my store, it's not clear, and second, if other customers know that someone died in my store, will I be able to do business in the future? ”
Everyone can also understand that usually Qinglou disposes of this kind of corpse and buries it directly.
"What did you do with the corpses?" Zhan Zhao asked.
"I asked a few guys to throw the body to a mass grave at night." The old bustard said, with a bitter face, "I also asked people to seal the house where the dead person lived, but who knows how to ...... way?"
"How?"
"The next night I heard a noise in the house where the dead man had died." The old bustard shivered as he spoke, "I heard someone snoring at night." ”
Everyone looked at each other - such an evil family?
"The most evil thing is that early the next morning, when we opened the door and went in, we found that the old man of the dead ghost was lying on the bed, the same as when he died the day before!"
“…… Isn't it so evil? Ouyang Shaozheng sounded fresh, "Did the dead man crawl back by himself?" ”
"Oh, I was scared at the time...... "The bustard patted his chest, "I almost didn't die." ”
"And then?" Zhao Pu was interested.
The bustard shook his head, "People are dead, and they can't be left there like this, so I found two brave guys, and threw the body to the mass grave, this time just in case, and dug a pit to bury him." But who knew that early the next morning, he ...... again"
"He's not coming back, is he?" Gongsun thought it was funny, the dead man could still climb back in this year, and it seemed that the dead man was very persistent and recognized the death of this room.
Zhao Pu and others also found it funny.
"How many adults, are you still laughing? We're all dying! ”
Bai Yutang was curious, "Why don't you burn the corpse directly?" ”
"Who dare?!" The old bustard grinned, "He just comes to lie down every day now, what if we burn him and he comes back to eat people or set fire to my Wanhualou?" ”
Everyone looked at each other and asked, "You mean, the corpse is still in the room?" ”
"I don't know what to do." The old bustard was cautious, "We don't dare to look at it anymore, and the door to that room is sealed." Sometimes there is sound in the room, sometimes there is no sound...... Anyway, we never went in again. ”
"I'll take a look!" Gongsun was so excited that he was about to rush upstairs, but Zhao Pu grabbed the collar of his clothes.
Gongsun looked back at him with some dissatisfaction.
Zhao Pu looked at Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang, "It looks like a trick of the rivers and lakes." ”
Bai Yutang nodded slightly, didn't express too many opinions, and asked Zhanzhao, "It sounds like fake death." ”
Zhan Zhao frowned, seeming to hesitate.
Bai Yutang seemed to understand something, so he gently stretched out his hand and dragged him to the side, and asked in a low voice, "What did you think of?" ”
Zhan Zhao looked at Bai Yutang's two fingers pinching his sleeve...... It's pretty handy.
Zhao Pu narrowed his eyes slightly - Bai Yutang and Zhanzhao have only known each other for a few days, and the appearance of old friends and ghosts, if it weren't for the previous relationship, it can only be said that the two are too close to each other.
"There are no more than several kinds of kung fu to fake death, turtle breath and breath holding...... But listening to the description of the old bustard just now, it seems to be another kind of internal strength, the famous and decent people can't, only the cult can! ”
"What kung fu?" Bai Yutang was curious.
"This kung fu is very evil, and there has never been an exact name, but a senior told me that the common name is 'dead and alive'." Zhan Zhao touched his chin, "As the name suggests, it is to die first, die so much that you can't die anymore, and then come back to life!" ”
Bai Yutang frowned, "Such an evil sect...... Which senior told you that? ”
Zhan Zhao looked up at the sky, "I forgot ......"
Bai Yutang couldn't cry or laugh, "That's right, how senior you are." ”
Zhan Zhao glanced back at him, "Aren't you also a lot of seniors." ”
Bai Yutang smiled faintly, "There are a lot of seniors on my side, but unlike your predecessors, everyone treats you as a treasure, and everyone here treats me as an enemy." ”
Zhan Zhao was stunned for a moment, and asked in a low voice, "I heard that the Tianshan Sect is very chaotic before, but it is really that chaotic?" ”
Bai Yutang shrugged, "It's more chaotic than you think." ”
"Why?" Zhan Zhao hugged his arms, "Tianzun is so powerful, can't he control his subordinates?" ”
"The problem is not with my master." Bai Yutang said quite seriously, "If you want to blame it, you can blame those famous and decent families for being too lewd, and they are not as easy to get along with as evil and crooked." ”
"That's right," Zhan Zhao nodded to the side.
The two of them are muttering here, and Zhao Pu is impatient to wait over there, these two people haven't finished biting their ears yet?
was irritable, feeling that someone was tugging at the hem of his clothes, and when he looked down, he saw Xiao Sizi looking up on his little face like a bun, stretching out his hands, "Jiujiu, hug!" ”
Zhao Pu didn't think about it, and quickly picked it up, this little ancestor was probably tired of standing.
The corners of Ouyang's mouth twitched, Zhao Pu didn't have the consciousness that he was the generalissimo of soldiers and horses, but he fell in love with this little fourth son, so it was better to accept a godson or something.
After another while, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang finally came back to their senses amid the impatient coughing of everyone, and had to walk back in embarrassment.
"How's your two going?" Zhao Pu asked, "Rush in directly?" ”
"Let's take a look in the room." Zhan Zhao looked at the sky, "I guess no one is here at this time!" ”
"How do you know the way?" Zhao Pu wondered.
"If it's really the kind of 'dead and alive' kind of trickery, it will only be useful when the sky is dark." Zhan Zhao said as he led everyone upstairs.
This room is not hard to find, the first one is directly west, and the door is still sealed. The seal was intact, so it could be seen that no one had ever come out of the main entrance, and as for the window, the bustard said that she had locked it when she was about to go out.
I opened the seal and pushed the door in, but there was no one in the room, even the bed was clean. Contrary to everyone's expectations, there was no stench of corpses or decay in the room, which was evident...... Corpses or something, they don't exist.
Zhan Zhao walked to the side of the bed and checked the futon and pillows, which were quite clean, and it seemed that someone was cleaning them.
Zhan Zhao narrowed his eyes - the kung fu of death and life......
"Jiujiu, what kind of Bodhisattva is this?"
At this time, the little fourth son, who was napping on Zhao Pu's shoulder, stretched out his hand and pointed to the wardrobe behind Zhao Pu.
This wardrobe is very high, half a head higher than ordinary people, but Zhao Pu is tall, and the place where the little fourth son can see it on his shoulder is even higher, pointing to the top of the wardrobe, saying that there is a bodhisattva there.
Ouyang jumped up and reached over the wardrobe and took down something to show everyone.
I saw a small porcelain Buddha statue, this Bodhisattva is fierce, and some of them look like Arhats with ghost faces.
Zhan Zhao's eyebrows moved slightly, Bai Yutang accurately captured the change in Zhan Zhao's expression, and asked him, "Acquaintance?" ”
Zhanzhao touched his nose and shook his head, "No...... However, this bodhisattva is called the Bodhisattva of Sword Forging. ”
For the first time, everyone heard that there was a sword-casting Bodhisattva, Zhao Pule, "I said I don't know him, if it's a sword-casting Bodhisattva, maybe I will know him." ”
Zhan Zhao hugged his arms and sighed, seemingly embarrassed.
Zhao Pu is a person who understands, seeing Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang's expressions, it is estimated that there is something bad to say to outsiders, so he asked Ouyang Shaozheng to send Sister Yao and the old bustard away.
There were only a few of them left in the room, plus a yawning little fourth.
Closing the door, Zhao Pu and the others sat down at the table, all looking at Zhanzhao, that means - say!
Zhan Zhao coughed, thought for a while, and spoke, "Actually, the Sword Casting Bodhisattva and the Sword Casting Bodhisattva are two Arhat Buddha statues standing back to back, and I have seen the original version. ”
Everyone looked at him, and what did that mean—where was the original?
Zhan Zhao scratched his chin and raised his face, which seemed to mean - skip this paragraph!
Gongsun looked at the statue of the Bodhisattva that had been taken down from the closet, "But there is only one here." ”
"Since the Demon Palace was hidden thirty years ago, most of the three hundred and sixty sects of the Demon Gate have disbanded and set up their own portals." Zhan Zhao said slowly.
Zhao Pu and Gongsun both tilted their heads and asked, "What are the three hundred and sixty sects of the Demon Gate?" ”
Bai Yutang coughed, "Jianghu affairs." ”
Zhao Pu touched his chin.
Gongsun was also curious.
The little fourth son continued to yawn.
Zhan Zhao signaled that everyone didn't need to pursue too many things in this regard, but continued, "In the three hundred and sixty factions of the Demon Gate, there are two brothers, one is called the Sword Evil and the other is called the Sword Evil, who specializes in forging evil swords and evil swords, and they are not very famous, but they have real skills. ”
Zhao Pu held his chin, "I only know that there are 360 lines of the righteous path of the Dao, and there are also 360 lines of the Dare to Love Evil Dao." ”
"The three hundred and sixty factions of the Demon Gate have their own abilities, and when they were under the Demon Palace Gate, they were a little publicized for a while." Bai Yutang said, "But the glory of the Demon Palace was really several generations ago, and now those evil sects have weakened, and many of them have no successors, and what is left behind is a group of old men, scattered all over the rivers and lakes. ”
"yes." Zhan Zhao nodded, "If there is a temple, there will be a god, and if you do it, you will ask the gods of which line to bless you, and you will worship the second master of the stove who is a cook, worship the second master Guan in battle, and worship the sword and sword Bodhisattva." ”
Although Gongsun was not from the rivers and lakes, he understood, so he asked, "So, the dead and alive person who lives in this house is a sword evil?" ”
"The people of the three hundred and sixty lines of the Demon Gate will all die and come back to life." Zhan Zhao's words were astonishing, "Those who do evil and crooked ways have a few evil skills to escape." ”
"I see." Zhao Pu was curious, looking at Zhanzhao, "How do you know that Lu Dao is so clear?" ”
Zhanzhao looked up at the sky, "Mr. Storyteller said." ”
Zhao Pu and Gongsun subconsciously looked at Bai Yutang, who was drinking tea with a cup as if he hadn't heard anything.
The little fourth son yawned again and squinted and snoozed.
"Then there is a sword demon living in this room...... What is he pretending to be a ghost for? Zhao Pu no longer asked Zhanzhao where he heard those strange things he had heard, and still returned to the topic.
"The person who lives here shouldn't be the sword evil, it's the sword evil." Zhan Zhao shook his head, "The Sword Evil has been dead for some years, the Sword Evil has a deep brotherly relationship with him, and he has exchanged tokens, the Sword Evil's Sword Casting Bodhisattva is with him, and the Sword Evil's Sword Casting Bodhisattva is buried with the Sword Evil and buried in the Star Palace behind the Magic Mountain." ”
"Star Palace?" Zhao Pu and Gongsun heard a new term that they had never heard of.
Zhan Zhao continued to look at the sky, "Mr. Storyteller said. ”
Bai Yutang held his forehead and shook his head while blowing hot tea.
"It doesn't matter if he's a sword evil or a sword evil, what's the reason for pretending to be a god like this?" Gongsun asked, "Does it have anything to do with the case we investigated?" ”
"I think there's ......"
Zhan Zhao, Bai Yutang and Zhao Pu spoke in unison.
Gongsun laughed, "Speaking of which, I also think there is." ”
"It's all about knives this time." Zhao Pu spread his hands, "Suddenly there was a knife evil who cast a knife, hiding in Tibet, it seems that he is avoiding someone, but he must stay in Daoaxe Town, pretending to be dead and squinting in this Wanhua Building, it is really the smartest choice, and the kiln sister in the building does not dare to go out to publicize." ”
"This room has a great view." Bai Yutang walked to the window, opened a crack and looked around, and then pointed to a small building in the distance, "That should be the Jianghua Building." ”
Everyone looked at each other - crookedly, maybe there would be an unexpected gain this time.
"So what's next?" Gongsun asked, "Are we here waiting for that sword evil to come back, or are we going to Jianghualou to catch Su Tulu?" ”
"Why don't you divide the soldiers into two ways?" Bai Yutang proposed, "Zhanzhao and I stayed and waited for the sword evil, and Zhao Pu took people to guard the Jianghua Tower." ”
Zhao Pu nodded, "Well, it's okay." ”
As soon as he agreed, Gongsun stretched out his hand, picked up the little fourth son and put it on the stool on the side, and waved his hand to Zhao Pu by the way, "You hurry up, don't send it." ”
Zhao Pu was stunned for a moment and narrowed his eyes, "I'm going alone?" ”
"Isn't there Ouyang at the door?" Gongsun smiled, "I wish you success." ”
"What about you?" Zhao Pu was dissatisfied, and he didn't know what Lu Dao was dissatisfied with, so he instinctively felt that Gongsun should be on his side.
Gongsun's eyes sparkled, "I'm more interested in living and dying!" ”
Zhao Pu grabbed him by the collar, "No, you go with me to catch Su Tulu." ”
"If I don't go, you can go by yourself!" Gongsun was carried out by Zhao Pu, and the little fourth son blinked, watching his father being carried out by Zhao Pu, and yawned again.
After closing the door, there was a commotion downstairs, and the surroundings were quiet.
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang glanced at each other, and then looked at the little fourth son who was stunned and sleepy at the table—what's the situation?
After a long time, the little fourth son raised his face and looked around, puffing out his cheeks - Daddy left him off!
……
Late at night, Bai Yutang walked over and blew out the candles, put the little fourth son who was asleep on the table on the bed and let him lie down and cover the quilt.
Walking to the window, Bai Yutang looked at the silent street at night through the empty window.
After a while, the door opened and closed quickly.
Zhanzhao patted his chest and stood at the door panting, his clothes were a little messy, and he was holding a food box in one hand, "It's terrifying." ”
Bai Yutang looked at him amusedly, "Surrounded again?" ”
Zhan Zhao put the food box on the table dissatisfied, the two of them had been squatting for more than an hour, and the knife demon had not returned, and he was a little hungry, so he wanted to get some supper. However, the girls outside are watching it, and there is a risk in going out, so the two of them will go out of rock-paper-scissors. Zhanzhao rock-paper-scissors thought that he was invincible in the world, but he didn't expect to lose to Bai Yutang today, so he had to fly out of the city with light skills to buy some food, and when he came back, he was surrounded by the girls of Wanhualou. Just now, Zhao Pu didn't know what Lu Dao taught them, these girls suddenly seemed to have learned some seven-star gossip array, organized and disciplined, and he was almost captured.
"It can be seen that Zhao Pu is indeed very good at using soldiers." Bai Yutang elegantly held the white jade wine glass that came out of nowhere, and drank the wine leisurely.
Zhan Zhao opened the food box and took out a plate of crab roe buns, Bai Yutang still said cool words, and at the same time wondered - there is no reason, there is someone in this world who can win him, Bai Yutang must be a thousand!
"To eat or not to eat?" Zhan Zhao held the saucer to lure Bai Yutang.
Bai Yutang asked himself that he had never been tempted by anything in his life, and a plate of crab roe buns could not have any effect...... But when he came to understand, he had already arrived at Zhanzhao's side to get the bun, and looked at Zhanzhao who was also holding the bun in his mouth, Bai Yutang was a little puzzled - what was wrong with him?
"Do you think if I put the bun next to the nose of the little fourth son, will he wake up?" Zhan Zhao asked Bai Yutang with a smile, took a bun and prepared to tease the little fourth son who slept in the shape of a complete dumpling with the quilt.
As soon as Bai Yutang wanted to speak, he heard the sound of "Xi Xi Suosuo" coming from outside the window.
The two of them hurriedly grabbed the food box, squatted down and hid behind the table...... At the same time, a "creak" was heard, the sound of the window opening, and then someone climbed in.
By the moonlight, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang saw a somewhat clumsy figure coming in from the window, carrying a burden on his back.
The two looked at each other - here!
And just when everything was silent, the little fourth son on the bed suddenly said, "Buns!" ”
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were startled, and the black shadow who had just entered the room seemed to be startled, and one staggered, and the burden on his back fell to the ground, and he heard the sound of "jingling", and from his baggage, a bunch of things were thrown out, and under the moonlight, it was glowing with blood.
