"Okay, let's get down to business! One by one, come and give me all the souls of sin. "Yin Cha said.
Lao Tan took the lead in walking over, took out a cigarette pouch from his body, and stretched the mouth of the bag open for Yin Cha to see. The yin reached in and grabbed a ghost. The ghost was caught in his hands, shrunk into a ball, did not dare to move at all, and looked trembling, obviously very frightened. Yin Cha himself took out the white bag of ghosts, threw the ghost into it, and counted at the same time: "One! ”
After that, every time he caught a ghost from Lao Tan's cigarette pouch, he counted it, and finally counted a total of twelve. After counting the ghosts, the yin cha took out another small money bag from his body, counted twelve green beads and handed them to Lao Tan. The green bead is nothing else, it is Yin Yuan!
It turns out that they came here on purpose today to sell the ghosts they have caught in the past year to Yincha! I couldn't help but think about it, where did those ghosts in Lao Tan's pocket come from? You know, he's in charge of the ghost market! He wouldn't secretly catch all the ghosts in the mass grave and sell them for Yin Yuan, right?
However, when I think about it again, it seems that the ghost customers in the ghost market have not told me that ghosts often disappear. Maybe these ghosts caught by Lao Tan have another origin.
Subsequently, Lao Liu also stepped forward and began to hand over the ghost he caught. He was holding a ** bag, which looked even more tacky. But in the end, he caught more ghosts than Lao Tan, a total of nineteen, and he got nineteen Yin Yuan. I guess most of them were caught on Halloween last year. But I have another question, didn't he say that he later placed thirty wild ghosts behind the small temple, why did he only bring nineteen?
Next was Aunt Han Bo Han, they brought seventeen, and the middle-aged man from Tricha Town was fourteen. The eighty-year-old man had the least, and only brought nine. However, considering that he is already so old, he can catch nine ghosts a year and be considered old and strong.
When the old man went up, Boss Su pushed me with his elbow and said in a low voice, "What about the things that your master asked you to bring?" Give me. ”
That's when I remembered that I still had a lot of ghosts on me, and more than anyone before me. I took out the bag and handed it to Boss Su. Boss Su was the last to go up, holding two bags in his hands, one was Master's bag and the other was a brown paper bag. There were a total of thirty-four ghosts in the bag, and fifteen in the cowhide bag, and in the end, the yin cha counted forty-nine yin yuan for Boss Su.
After Yin Yuan was finished, he couldn't help but look at Boss Su with admiration. He said, "Every time I come, it's you the most." This time it's even twice as big as last year! ”
I laughed secretly when I heard it, where does Boss Su have that ability? A large part of it was actually caught by me and my master. Of course, I didn't plan to expose him, and there must be a reason why Master asked me to give the bag to Boss Su.
Boss Su replied with a smile: "This year, not only have I caught more, but other people's have also increased a lot." ”
This is the truth, and the other Yin cultivators also nodded in unison, looking a little proud. Lao Tan still looked sad. He respectfully said to Yincha: "Yincha-sama, speaking of which, we still have some things to report to you!" ”
"What's the matter?" Strange way.
Lao Tan reported in detail to the Yin Cha that we had discussed the recent discovery of the frequent activities of ghosts in Nanting County, as well as the speculation that the ghost cultivators might be planning from it.
After listening to this, Yin Cha didn't seem surprised, and only said lightly: "We have noticed this situation." At present, the Chacha Division is sending people to secretly investigate in the Nanting area, and General Riyou has also sent troops to guard nearby. If it is confirmed that there is indeed a ghost cultivator who has slipped through the net to make trouble in Nanting, the Chacha Division will immediately send someone to deal with it! ”
Hearing Yin Cha say this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, so they praised it one after another. Yin Cha was not humble either, and accepted their compliments with a great grin, as if all this was his own work.
That's it, Yin Cha said: "If there is nothing else important, I will rush back to the underworld to resume my life." Lao Tan and the others immediately clasped their fists and saluted again, and respectfully sent the yin away from him.
After the errand left, the purpose of everyone coming here was achieved. If it's a party in another industry, it's time to relax when you're done with business. It's normal to have a big meal, a few glasses of wine, or a song to sing along. But we Yin cultivators are basically middle-aged and elderly people (Xiaolong and I can only be regarded as followers), and we are all withdrawn and unsociable guys, where is it possible to organize such an activity. Everyone said goodbye to each other and disbanded on the spot.
On the way back, I sat in the passenger seat of Boss Su. I finally had a chance to ask him a lot of questions that I had been holding in my heart just now.
"Boss Su, is this yin a living person or a dead person?"
Boss Su immediately laughed, and even Lao Liu in the back seat also smiled. Boss Su shook his head and said, "It's a good thing that you didn't ask until now." If you just asked, I'm in big trouble! ”
I complained, "I haven't met him, but I'm not stupid enough to ask this question in front of him, right?" ”
Boss Su still laughed. He said, "Even if you haven't seen him, you must have seen a lot of ghosts, right?" Do you think he looks like a ghost? "Actually, I also thought of this later, and I just wanted to confirm it when I asked Boss Su.
In the end, Lao Liu answered my question seriously: "That Yin Cha must be a living person!" Like us, he is also a yin cultivator, but he just entered the underworld and did things for the king of Hades. ”
Boss Su added: "The difference between us and him is like a civil servant in the prefecture, with a name and a name. We are temporary workers, and we feed on our own. Do you understand? ”
With such a dozen metaphors, I must have understood! Then I asked, "Where are you going to take those ghosts?" Underground? ”
"That's right! Where else else could you go? ”
"Why don't we just overtake them? Wouldn't that be more convenient? ”
Boss Su smiled again. But this time he explained very seriously: "First, we won't. Second, it's not in order. Buddhists and Taoists do not let them go directly to reincarnation, those ghosts also have to go to the underworld to line up, according to the rules of the underworld. Our yin cultivation is different, because these ghosts have made mistakes after death, so they have to accept the punishment of the laws of the underworld, and then decide not to let them be reincarnated, so they have to be handed over to the yin cha to deal with! ”
"And the third," Boss Su said this, making a mischievous grimace before saying, "There is Yin Yuan to earn!" Why not? ”
"Is that a bad mess all the hell?" I asked again. I actually want to ask Lao Liu this question.
turned out to be really Lao Liu himself who answered this question. He interjected, "You're thinking wrong! Yin cha is not collected by all ghosts, only those who are naughty or lose their souls. If the ghost has not done anything bad in the underworld and the yang, the yin cha will go to the underworld to check, and he will return it to us! Therefore, this ghost can't be caught casually, and we can't just hand it over to the yin without investigation, otherwise we will be punished! ”
"Oh!" I nodded, indicating that I understood. I pinched the bag in my hand, there were no ghosts in it, and it was replaced by thirty-four yin yuan. This reminded me of a question that I couldn't figure out.
"Boss Su, why did you just say that I was your apprentice? Also, why didn't my master come? ”
Boss Su's expression turned into a wry smile. He asked me rhetorically, "Why don't you leave this question and ask your master?" ”
I said, "I asked him when I came, but he wouldn't say." Just tell me! ”
Boss Su couldn't resist me, so he had to say: "We are a small place here, and we usually come once a year on a bad day." As for your master, he never came forward, and he always handed it over to me to help him deal with it. So, I didn't want Yin Cha and Lao Han to feel suspicious, so I admitted that you were my apprentice. This is also what your master told me before he came, hey, Lao Liu and Lao Tan should all know! ”
Lao Liu also nodded in the back and said, "That's right, Lao Feng called me in advance, so I don't want to demolish you." Lao Tan sat in the back and closed his eyes to recuperate, but he shouldn't have fallen asleep, and he didn't deny that it meant that the master had also greeted him.
"My master never came forward? He'd never seen that yin before, had he? I asked again.
"Nope!" Boss Su shook his head and confirmed, "I also asked him this question, but he just wouldn't explain the reason." ”
Alas, that's how my master is! What he doesn't want to tell you, he won't say even if you ask. I couldn't help but sigh.
But at this time, Lao Tan, who had been sitting in the back and was silent, spoke. He's always able to say something that surprises me tonight, and this time was no exception!
He didn't open his eyes, and only said faintly: "Maybe your master doesn't want to see acquaintances......
"My master is an acquaintance of that Yincha? Or does he not want to see people from the underworld? I asked. But Lao Tan pretended not to hear it, and ignored me, which made me embarrassed and itchy!
Boss Su made a helpless expression at me, then turned his head and focused on driving. Lao Liu also smiled and sat back in his place, both of them pretending to be helpless.
I sulked alone. Not only was he angry with the other three people on the car, but he was also angry with my master! As I began to practice Yin Gong with him, I discovered that there were more and more secrets hidden in him! In addition to today's incident, there was also the problem of the kitchen knife before. After returning from the Gu family's ghost killing, no matter how I asked him, he refused to tell him the origin of the knife, and only told me later.
Later! Later! Everything is later! Does he still recognize me as his apprentice?
