Chapter 136: Headless Ghost and Skinner
The ancestor of the corpse is not particular!
How old are you, if you want to gamble, everyone will put on a posture and just have a real fight. Whether you win or lose, you always end up being above board and acting openly.
But what's the deal with you trying to trouble me now?
Take 10,000 steps back, I am the weakest of the gambling personnel, even if I die, the remaining nine can support this gambling game. Maybe Lao Zhang and Lao He can find more powerful players to replace them, won't the gains outweigh the losses when the time comes?
If I am the ancestor of the corpse and really want to calculate the other party, I will find a top master like Lao Zhang Lao He or Yu Buren. Kill one, and you can't even find a replacement.
Suddenly, my mind flashed, and suddenly I felt that something was wrong. Is the ancestor of the corpse really old and confused? Can't even see this clearly?
Isn't it a bit of a fuss to make such a big battle just for my little Zhang Wuxin? Also, although I am the head of the Yin and Yang shop, after all, I have entered the industry early, and I am always a little worse than those old exorcists.
Even Wen Taizi is smarter than me, I don't know how many times.
Why did you choose me for such an important gamble?
At that moment, I seemed to vaguely grasp a key point in my mind, but I couldn't figure out what it was for a while.
I asked He Zhonghua: "Boss, something doesn't seem quite right?" Why are you all coming for me? ”
He Zhonghua snorted and said: "What's wrong with it, people just see you as weak, so they use you to practice your hands, let me tell you, you have to be careful." ”
The more Lao He said this, the more bottomless I felt in my heart. These masters of the Yin and Yang shop are all extremely protective people, if anyone wanted to calculate me, they would have blown their beards and glared at me when they got the news.
But He Zhonghua said lightly that it was because I was weak, which is a bit unreasonable. Looking at him, it seems more like he knew that someone was going to kill me!
It's not just him, even Yu Buren is expressionless, and he looks like he knows it in his chest!
I muttered secretly in my heart, but Yu Buren over there asked in a low voice: "Who are those evil people and ghosts?" ”
The coffin king replied quickly: "One is the general under Zuo Zongtang of the Qing Dynasty, called Cheng Lindong. After his death, he wandered in the Northwest for nearly two hundred years. The other is called Qu Muge, a native of the Northwest Territories. ”
I have heard of Qu Muge, it is said that it is the inheritance of the Qinghai skinners, who like to peel the faces of living people to make various masks. This person is insatiable, if he has milk, he is a mother, as long as there is interest, even if he is asked to kill his own biological son, he will dare to do it.
Cheng Lindong had never heard of it, but if you calculate it carefully, it should be the general who died here when Zuo Zongtang recovered Ili.
It stands to reason that the general will turn into a ghost after death, which is much more powerful than ordinary ghosts. However, when Cheng Lindong was alive, he violated military discipline in his eyes and betrayed intelligence, which led to heavy losses for the Qing army.
Later, Zuo Zongtang was angry and dismissed him from his post for investigation and was ready to be sent back to the capital for careful interrogation. Later, Cheng Lindong was scared, so he killed the guards and prepared to commit treason.
As a result, Zuo Zongtang sent people to chase and kill Cheng Lindong, and finally killed him in the desert. The head was brought back to life, but the body and the soul were left in the desert to wander all day long.
Because he was dismissed and investigated before his death, even if he turned into a ghost after death, he was not a ghost in the full sense, but a bit like a headless ghost, looking for his head taken away by Zuo Zongtang all day long.
said that after the coffin king said these two names, he stared at Yu Buren tremblingly. There's no way, Lao Yu's big feet are still stepping on his chest.
If Yu Buren didn't want to let him go, he would be able to take the coffin king's life in minutes.
Fortunately, he was not a very unreasonable person, he sneered and glanced around, and then removed the foot that was stepping on the coffin king.
"Get out! If you dare to fight Ruoqiang County's idea again, don't blame Lao Tzu for slashing you with a sword. ”
The coffin king nodded again and again. At this time, he didn't dare to talk to Yu Buren about the conditions, and as soon as he waved, the beaten ghosts crawled over and ran out carrying the coffin king.
When they came, they were violent, but when they left, they were in a hurry like lost dogs, for fear that Yu Buren would change their minds and accept them one by one.
Seeing that the coffin king was deserted and fled, Yu Buren glanced around, and said impatiently: "I know that you want to see my liveliness, but I'm afraid I'll disappoint you this time." I'm still the same sentence, as long as I'm still in Ruoqiang County for a day! Here's what I'm covering! Whoever wants to cause trouble here, don't blame me for being rude! ”
The evil ghosts who watched the excitement didn't say a word, and quietly disappeared into the darkness. However, a few foreign faces smiled at Inben, said hello, and turned to leave.
In an instant, the central street, which was still lively just now, was left with only a few of us in an instant.
It was only at this time that Yu Buren put away his purple sword and walked towards me and He Zhonghua.
I don't know what's going on, but when he came over, he seemed to look at me intentionally or unintentionally, his eyes full of concern and worry.
I think I'm worried about my safety.
He Zhonghua smiled: "What? Worried about the fourth? ”
Yu Buren shook his head: "As long as the fourth child is with us, whether it is Cheng Lindong or Qu Muge, in fact, he can't help him." But once the game starts, we don't have time to think about anything else. If this person attacks the fourth child at this time, I'm afraid he won't be able to take care of it......"
He Zhonghua said lightly: "Then strike first and kill this person and a ghost!" ”
Yu Buren said angrily: "It's easy to say! How many of us, who is free? What's more, these two guys are hiding in the shadows, and it will probably take a lot of effort just to find them! ”
In fact, if the two bosses and Yu Buren can make a move, whether it is Qu Muge or Cheng Lindong, it is basically the same dish. But Yu Buren was right, they had to prepare for this gamble, how could they find time to solve these two guys?
He Zhonghua looked at me with a strange face and said, "Fourth, what do you think?" ”
My heart moved, and I said, "Boss, where is the truth of a thousand days of thief prevention?" Since these two bastards are here for me, why don't you let me clean them up! Let them know that I, Zhang Wuxin, am not a vegetarian! ”
He Zhonghua laughed: "You are very confident!" He suddenly said: "To tell the truth, before the gambling game started, Lao Zhang, and Yu Buren couldn't get out." But this person is a hidden danger that must be solved before the game begins. We can't trust others, so we have to do it ourselves. Fourth, how sure are you? ”
I heard He Zhonghua's solemn expression not like a joke, so I thought about it carefully and said, "I don't know much about Qu Muge, but it shouldn't be a big problem to deal with Cheng Lindong." ”
Qu Muge is a human, and Cheng Lindong is a ghost. To me, people are far more terrible than ghosts.
But since they are coming for me, they can't hide from this matter. Instead of passively waiting for them to come to the door, it is better to take the initiative and solve this hidden danger in advance.
Yu Buren glanced at me meaningfully, and whispered to He Zhonghua: "Boss, the fourth child is very important to this gamble, are you really sure you want him to solve Cheng Lindong and Qu Muge?" If he has any three longs and two shorts......"
He Zhonghua waved his hand and interrupted Yu Buren's words: "It is precisely because the fourth child is very important that he should take the initiative." This matter should be regarded as a test for the fourth child! Who is not the one in our store who has not stood out from the grinding again and again? ”
Yu Buren nodded and said, "That's good." Since you have to do something, you have to hurry up. I'll go find someone to find out the whereabouts of Qu Muge and Cheng Lindong, and I'll do it tonight! Wait for me here! ”
When he had finished speaking, he walked briskly, and soon disappeared into the dark streets.
After waiting for more than half an hour, he walked out of the other side of the road.
When he came out this time, Yu Buren already had another small book in his hand, and he hurriedly said, "There is news." Cheng Lindong is now hiding in a ghost forest about thirteen kilometers east of Ruoqiang County. Qu Muge lives in a coffin shop tonight. That coffin shop has a bit of a background, it seems to be opened by a corpse digger. ”
After he said this, he turned his eyes to me and said, "It's still early in the morning, and the time should be in time." Just in case, Lao Zhang and I are sitting in Ruoqiang County tonight, and no evil is allowed to go out of the city! How about creating a relatively fair exorcism environment for you? ”
It's not the first time I've been alive, but this time the two goals are with the idea of killing me, which inevitably makes me a little nervous. I whispered, "Boss, can I do it alone?" ”
He Zhonghua said lightly: "If you can't do it, you have to do it." Fourth, to put it mildly, your ability to participate in this gambling game is actually a situation of losing more and winning less. But the reason why we still call you here is because you have a very important role to play. It can be said that everyone's life is in your hands. ”
"If you can't even solve the two evil ghosts who are chasing you, how can you take charge of it alone and support this gambling game?"
I was a little embarrassed when he said this, but I also knew it in my heart. I knew I was here for another reason. Otherwise, in order to ensure that I win, they will pick an exorcist who is more powerful than me to take over my game.
Moreover, the Ten Thousand Demons Pit did not hesitate to send one person and one ghost to plot against me, which shows that I am not as simple as an ordinary gambling participant!
Lao Zhang told me a long time ago that in the exorcism circle, only if you have the ability can you assume the obligations you should bear. Others may be able to help you in a short period of time, but they can't help you for a lifetime, right?
If you want to be an exorcist who can take charge of yourself, you must face those things of life and death head-on.
Thinking of this, my heart was on fire, and I said loudly: "Boss! Don't underestimate me! Isn't it just a headless ghost and a living person who likes to peel his skin? Give me one night and I'll take care of it! ”
He Zhonghua praised: "Good! This is the person in charge of my yin and yang shop! Old Yu, give him the information! ”
I don't know where Yu Buren got this information, but when I opened it, there were pictures and text descriptions of Qu Muge and Cheng Lindong.
The ink on the picture has not dried, and the text description also writes the dragon flying and phoenix dance, which should have just been written. It's just that I don't know who Yu Buren is looking for, so he can get such detailed information about the evil man in a short period of time.
Yu Buren whispered when he handed me the information: "Don't listen to Lao He's fools, your life is very important, don't be reckless of the consequences as soon as your brain is hot." Remember, the main purpose is to save your own life. Even if you can't deal with those two evils, it doesn't matter, but I'll take a little risk and help you take care of it myself. ”
I was slightly moved in my heart, although I didn't get along with Yu Buren for a long time, he gave me a more reliable feeling. If Zhang Wuren and He Zhonghua are compared to stricter elders, Yu Buren is more like a big brother who cares for his younger brother.
I said, "Third brother, you can rest assured." I'm not a rookie anymore, the information is so detailed, if I can't even clean up a headless ghost and a skinner, I won't have the face to mix in the circle! You just wait for my good news, and before dawn, I will definitely be able to return to Ruoqiang County! ”
After saying this, I turned around and left, but I didn't think that Yu Buren would stop me and say, "Slow! ”
He walked up to me, stretched out his hand and pulled out the broken sword from my waist, and said, "This broken sword was the one I used before, although it is powerful, but after all, it is mutilated, and there is no room for development." I suggest that you use this broken sword as little as possible, and instead become more familiar with the evil suppression stick. ”
"You must know that this short stick is the best magic weapon in the Yin and Yang shop! It took the three of us a year to build it. If it's used well, it's not much worse than ours! ”
I was secretly surprised when I heard it, all along, Zhang Wuren's Tantric Iron Rod, He Zhonghua's Demon Sword and Ghost Town are all the signboards of the Yin and Yang Shop, and even Yu Buren's purple crystal-like long sword doesn't look like an ordinary product.
Many times I envy the magic weapons in their hands, and when I look at the evil suppression stick in my hand, I always feel that it is a lot worse. But now Yu Buren told me that if he could really unearth the power of the evil suppression stick, it would be no worse than the magic weapon in their hands!
When I said this, my heart instantly became hot, it turned out that my evil suppression stick was so powerful, and I just didn't tap the full power of the short stick.
Come to think of it, how can the exorcism created by the three top exorcists of the Yin and Yang Store be an ordinary thing?
