257 Looting

Xiao Jiuhe was full of evil, and I chased him to an alley behind the ghost refining shop and lost his resistance, and was finally eaten alive by a group of beggar ghosts!

It was a bloody scene, and I didn't want to watch it anymore, so I turned around and ran back. At this time, the curfew period had just begun, and various commotions began to erupt one after another. Especially in this right city, which is already a sinister place, it is simply blooming everywhere. Outside the alley or two on the left and right, you can hear the sound of fierce fighting, screams and weapons colliding one after another.

At the exit of this back alley is a small square, where the fighting is even more intense. I didn't have to run over to look, just by listening to the sound, I could guess that it was two gangs of ghosts fighting there. At this time, if you want to go back to the Longevity Hotel directly according to the original way, you are definitely looking for death!

Of course, I wouldn't be so stupid, but I got into Xiao Jiuhe's ghost refining shop through the back door again, and then closed the door tightly. That's the only way out of my plan: after taking out Xiao Jiuhe, I'll hide in his shop until the curfew ends, and then return the next day.

But I had just locked the back door when I heard someone in the store shouting, "Who are you?" ”

I was also startled, and quickly turned around and drew my knife to be on guard.

Hi! It turned out to be it!

The advertising ghost, covered in all sorts of bells and whistles, and with a dozen flashy horns growing out of his head, was glaring at me in horror. It stood in a mess of shops, with shattered bottles and jars and filthy potions.

"It's you!"

The advertising ghost exclaimed again, apparently finally recognizing me. It turned and was about to run to the front door, but in a panic it couldn't even push the latch open.

Hum! How could it be so easy to let it go?

I changed the short knife to my left hand, then took out the Ruyi chopsticks from my arms, stretched them out with a "whoosh", and impartially clamped the neck of the advertising ghost, and then retracted the Ruyi chopsticks and looked at it with some pride.

"Squeak!"

The advertising ghost was caught around the neck, and he couldn't scream if he wanted to. But it was caught in the air by me, kicking my feet off the ground, and obviously it still felt bad.

I grabbed it, stuffed it into the shelf lattice next to it, and stuck its hands and feet with Ruyi chopsticks. That way, it couldn't move at all, but it was able to talk to me properly.

"Where did you just go?" I asked coldly.

"Go...... "When the advertising ghost saw this situation, he didn't need to ask me, and he should have guessed that it was impossible for its owner to come to save it at this time, so he had to answer the question honestly."......

"Went to the Longevity Hotel?"

"Yes......"

"You're going to keep an eye on me, aren't you?"

“......”

"Tuk!"

I slammed the knife into the shelf and looked at the advertising ghost with a bad face. It was startled again, and immediately trembled violently. At this point, there is no need for me to intimidate and ask questions, and it tells everything it knows like pouring beans from a bamboo tube.

Sure enough, it was sent by Xiao Jiuhe to Zuoshi Seventh Street in the past few days, and it was dangling in front of the Changshou Hotel. As soon as I left the hotel gate, it would notify its owner through the secret technique that Xiao Jiuhe had applied to it in advance, and follow behind me, waiting for an opportunity to inflict harm.

The same is true tonight, when the advertising ghost squats in front of the Longevity Hotel and does not hurry back until before curfew. On the way, it suddenly discovers that the secret magic on its body has failed, and it has lost contact with its owner. But it really had nowhere to go, so I had to go back to the store to report the situation to the owner, only to find that the store was in a mess, and the owner did not know where to go, and then I caught him.

Speaking of tracking and plotting against me, of course, Xiao Jiuhe also knows that he will definitely not be able to deal with me with the ability of advertising ghosts. So he instructed it to find a ghost gang called the "Little Knife Gang" in Zuo City, and spent a lot of Yin Yuan to buy them to be nearby at any time.

Their plan is also very simple: while I am out shopping alone, the members of this ghost gang will create a small riot and then take advantage of the chaos to besiege and assassinate me!

This kind of thing where someone is innocent injured in a riot is an occasional occurrence even in Zuoshi. If they succeeded, I guess I wouldn't be able to figure out how I died until I died. Wouldn't that be a death in vain?

I listened to this insidious plan, and I couldn't help but feel a chill in my back. Fortunately, I was cautious enough, and since the last time I was in distress, I hid in the Longevity Hotel and didn't come out, and even bought equipment for me by asking Wei Dahu to buy it for me. Otherwise, they will be guarded at the door every day, and sooner or later they will be poisoned!

Speaking of the knife gang, I heard it when I was in Zuo City, it is said that it is usually based on petty theft, but each gang member has a knife hidden in his body, and once he is caught, he will change to steal and rob, and his style is very barbaric. If I've been targeted by the Knife Gang, I'm guess it's another trouble!

So, I asked again, "Do the ghosts of the Knife Gang know me?" How do they determine where to start? ”

"I'll show them it." The advertising ghost is very good at reading words, and when he hears me ask, he knows what I'm worried about, "Don't worry." For the sake of secrecy, the Knife Gang still doesn't know who my master is trying to kill. And you haven't been out in the past few days, so they don't know who you really are. ”

I breathed a sigh of relief: that's it!

Otherwise, I finally managed to solve Xiao Jiuhe, do I have to deal with a whole ghost gang?

As the saying goes: cut the grass to the roots! This kind of thing can't leave any hidden dangers!

However, when it comes to cutting the grass and eradicating the roots, my gaze at the advertising ghost is starting to be a little unnatural again.

"If you want to know anything else, you can ask me! It's like, don't kill me......" The advertising ghost clearly understood the meaning of my expression.

"You aided in the abuse, and you almost killed me! No one will care if I kill you! I said viciously.

"No, no, no! Let me be reincarnated! Or will you want to keep me by your side as a ghost slave? The advertising ghost hurriedly begged for mercy again.

"Why am I so kind to send you to reincarnation? I never had ghost slaves! ”

"Please! Have pity on me, have mercy on me! ”

"Pathetic?" I laughed angrily, "What do you have to be pitiful? ”

The advertising ghost cried and pointed to the tattoos on his body and complained: "Look at these strange things on me, my master is not polite to me at all!" Usually let me give him a free part-time job, even if he also put a secret technique on me, I am actually just a pair of eyes, a pair of ears and a mouth! Even if I wanted to, I couldn't run! ”

"Humph! Is this called pitiful? I scoffed at its complaints, "There are a lot of ghost slaves out there who are sold like cattle every day, and if they dislike their masters, they will be beaten with whips and sticks immediately!" It's not even a good thing to be killed by the owner in the street! You just run errands, be an eyeliner, and still want to pretend to be pitiful? ”

The "......" advertising ghost was refuted by me for a while, so I had to shut up immediately.

"Let me ask you again, did you find a thief to steal my things that night on the second street of Zuoshi?" The more I talked, the more angry I became, and I remembered the holiday that almost killed me?

"Yes ......" has come to this day, and the advertising ghost is undeniable.

"Did you tell it that it had to steal an important token from my arms?"

"Yes......"

"Did you come up with an idea?"

"Yes...... Hey, no! No! The advertising ghost was anxious, and quickly changed his words: "It was the owner who confessed!" Not my idea! ”

"Humph! How did he confess? I didn't believe its quibbles at all, and continued to press.

He ...... He told me that the thief was not allowed to steal money, only the most intimate objects, and led you to the square! ”

"Humph! Isn't it a pity? You didn't pinch the timing right, a few minutes early, and those two ghost gangs haven't started fighting yet, otherwise you would have succeeded in your trick that night! "I got back into my murderous spirit and pulled the dagger out of the shelf.

"I'm damned! I'm damned! But please don't kill me! The advertising ghost continued to beg for mercy, and they were all crying bitterly.

But I don't want to spare it anymore, this insidious little ghost has been by Xiao Jiuhe's side for a long time, all kinds of conspiracies and tricks have been learned, and letting it out will definitely hurt people again!

"I still know a lot of secrets!" The advertising ghost saw that my short knife had been raised, and hurriedly shouted again.

"I'm not interested!" I said coldly, the short knife in my hand could be slashed at any time.

"I know where my master's treasures are hidden, and I can tell you!"

The advertising ghost screamed desperately. It also wants to make a last-ditch effort, wanting to trade such a secret for a "ghost life".

"Xiao Jiuhe, what other treasures are there?" I immediately stopped and decided to ask more.

The last sentence shouted by the advertising ghost really made me quite interested. Xiao Jiuhe has so many miscellaneous things in this store, there must be some treasures hidden. Now that everyone else has been killed by me, hehe, I don't mind giving him another raid!

"Yes, yes!" When the advertising ghost saw that I put away the short knife, he hurriedly explained: "Don't look at my master, he hides in such a corner and doesn't dare to go out to meet people, in fact, he is a rich man!" Not to mention anything else, Yin Yuan alone hides a lot! ”

"Yin Yuan!"

I touched my chin, hehe, Xiao Jiuhe, this guy did all the bad things in the yang world and made a lot of black money! Later, he hid in the Yin City and opened this ghost refining shop in the right market, and the business seems to be very good, well, he must have saved a lot of money in this store!

"Okay, let's see how you perform before you decide!"

I found a ghost rope, tied the advertising ghost, and led it around the store to scavenge for benefits.

In fact, with Xiao Jiuhe's character, the most valuable things must be placed in the most intimate place for him, and he can be ready to escape at any time. It's just that he couldn't have guessed tonight that I would dare to take the initiative to come to the door to seek revenge, so he hurried out the back door without even having time to take the cloak he usually wears.

Under the identification of the advertising ghost, I soon found Xiao Jiuhe's cloak on the edge of a shelf, and it was really heavy with a lot of things. One of the money bags contained more than a thousand Yin Yuan, which was much less than I expected. You must know that when Xiao Jiuhe was in the yang world, the price of one assassination mission after another was hundreds of thousands of yuan!

I asked the advertising ghost with a dark face, is there any other place to hide Yin Yuan?

It replied cringely, "My master had made a lot of money before, but he used it to buy medicine. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been hiding here to set up shop......"

This should be true. Xiao Jiuhe was first greatly injured by my master, and then I smashed his waist with a stone, plus he usually raised so many ghosts, and his yin qi was devoured, it is estimated that he has to take a bunch of medicine every day to stand up!

However, the money bag containing Yin Yuan is also a treasure in itself. Thousands of Yin Yuan are packed in, and the money bag is only slightly bulging from the outside, it should be a rare Yin Weapon, which is similar to the tip bag given to me by the master, which can be used for storage. The difference is that Master's bag can be used to hold ghosts, and this money bag is specially used to hold Yin Yuan.

Hey! Now that they are all in my hands, these Yin Yuan and this money bag will naturally all belong to me!

After unceremoniously taking the money bag into my arms, I continued to fumble among the many pockets on my cloak. There were still a variety of small bottles and jars in it, most of them were potions, and some were ointments, all of which I didn't know what they were used for. I took it out and asked the advertising ghosts one by one. Among them, there is a potion called "Exorcism Incense", which I am quite interested in.

The advertising ghost said: "This is a ghost exorcism incense, if the owner needs to rub a little on his body when he goes out during the curfew, the ghost will feel uncomfortable when he smells it, and he will avoid him." ”

Well, this kind of thing works just right for me, take it!

There is also a bottle of anti-corpse poison potion. People who are in constant contact with zombies will inevitably have some of these potions in hand. Xiao Jiuhe would occasionally go to the ancient tomb to catch a few zombies to refine the corpses, so he also put them in his cloak. I also took it away, maybe it will come in handy in the future, be prepared!

In the end, the rest were all kinds of healing potions, which Xiao Jiuhe carried with him to take regularly, so I didn't move on to these.

After searching the cloak, I went back to inspect the shelves in the store, only to my disappointment. The bottles and cans on those shelves had been damaged a lot in the fight just now, and even if they were lucky enough to keep them, they were not anything of value, they were all unknown potions and medicinal herbs.

The advertising ghost said that these things are all all kinds of raw materials used to refine ghosts, and they are of no use to me. Needless to say, the clay pots on the ground should contain all kinds of semi-finished ghosts. I thought about it, it's not a matter to keep these little ghosts, just take them together, and wait until the next time I meet Yin Cha to collect ghosts, and then send them to the underworld to reincarnate.
