On the evening of the day when Sister Fang taught the fat man a lesson, the fat man was forced to go into battle under pressure, wearing the necessary artifact of the blind date he said, a big gold chain with the thickness of a dog, a pair of black-framed glasses with no prescription on the bridge of his nose, wearing a floral shirt and fashionable ripped jeans, dressed as an upstart, he hummed a small tune in his mouth, took a brisk step, and went on a date.

Shi Yijian looked at the disappearing back of the fat man, and he really felt a little envious, jealous and hateful. Shi Yijian sighed softly, lit a cigarette, sat down on the computer desk again, took out a hand-copied notebook that had been turned into old from the safe, leaned comfortably on the sofa, and began to flip through it.

There are two books of these notes, and they are the virtues of the ghost eye stone three who have walked the rivers and lakes for so many years. The first part records some of the deeds of the ancestors of the Shi family to subdue demons and drive away ghosts, some materials and skills required for talismans, as well as the know-how and taboos of opening the altar to do rituals. The next part is a record of the personal experience of Ghost Eye Stone San who traveled south and north back then, and some strange things that he saw and heard at that time, as well as his insights and methods of solving these things. Every time Shi Yijian reads it, he will have a feeling of being sudden. Especially when the store opened, after experiencing the fat man and the Zhou family, this feeling is even stronger.

Shi Yijian held the first part of the notebook in his hand and read every word in it intently, among which the story at the beginning was the most descriptive and the most bizarre. It is said that during the Zhengde period of the Ming Dynasty, the emperor was absurd and happy, and he had no intention of government, and the imperial power gradually fell into the hands of Liu Jin, the eunuch who was in charge of the seal.

At that time, the dignitaries and nobles of the imperial court all abandoned the Buddha and respected the Tao, and the folk Taoism flourished, and Buddhism gradually declined. Under the great eunuch Liu Jin, there is an alchemist who is proficient in refining pills, and he can refine an extremely rare Yang-Creating Soul-Fixing Pill, as long as he takes a pill, his body will enter the Netherworld without being corroded by the rich yin qi of the underworld. For the sake of his own appearance and wealth, this alchemist did what he liked, and gave a folk rumor to the great eunuch Liu Jin.

It turns out that in the entire netherworld, there is also a forbidden land called the Three Realms Ghost Domain. It is said that evil spirits are rampant there, and there are many ghosts and beasts, and ordinary ghost pawns dare not set foot at all. In the midst of the Three Realms of Ghost Domains, there is a bone swamp where a ghost-eyed three-legged toad grows, with many eye-like bumps growing on its back. According to folklore, the pimple meat on the back of the ghost-eyed three-legged toad is not only tender and delicious, but also as long as the rootless person insists on eating three meals a day, sometimes it can not only make it grow a beard, but also the roots of the offspring that were taken away by the horizontal knife under the crotch of the pants will also grow back like mushrooms after a rain.

When the alchemist told this unsubstantiated legend, the great eunuch Liu Jin immediately couldn't sit still, and the pain buried in his heart that could never be changed made these eunuchs in power have a strange temper of cynical nature. He then entered the palace late at night, woke up the emperor who was lying in the pile of women, and issued an edict in the name of the emperor having no heirs to inherit orthodoxy and urgently needed to seek a panacea, so that Qin Tianjian could fully cooperate with the celebrant to handle the matter.

Qin Tianjian is in charge of astronomy, calendar, meteorology and divination, and Qin Tianjian has the post of Yin and Yang Division, specializing in drawing talismans for the royal family to drive away evil spirits, alchemy and medicine. And Shi Dakuo, the founder of the Shi family, as a director of the Yin and Yang Division, was sent with several colleagues to assist Dongchang in finding the traces of the ghost-eyed three-legged toad. Hundreds of skilled Dongchang Jinyi guards and several profound Qintianjian Yin and Yang Divisions followed the alchemist, and at a moment of intersection of yin and yang, they entered the ghost market outside the ghost gate, this place is a bridge connecting the two worlds of yin and yang, under the supervision of the underworld, many shady things and special transactions are completed here.

After the alchemist led everyone to take the Yang Creation Soul Fixing Pill, he passed through the ghost market and entered the Three Realms Ghost Domain. I don't know if it's because the medicinal power of the Yang Creation Soul Fixing Pill is amazing, or if they are in another world, everyone is like wandering ghosts, without the slightest tiredness. After taking the alchemist's third Yang Creation Soul Fixing Pill, the group finally saw the legendary Buried Bone Swamp, and this perennial miasma buried bone swamp has a very poor vision, once you make a mistake and fall into the swamp, it can only become a dry bone in the buried bone swamp.

When everyone's footsteps stepped into the depths of the bone swamp, their eyes were all focused on a group of monsters with bulging bodies as big as yoga balls and shaped like toads, and they all gasped, this is the ghost-eyed three-legged toad. I saw a ghost-eyed three-legged toad floating on the swamp, and the sound of cooing frogs came out of its mouth, the sound was sometimes far and near, sometimes high and sometimes low, making people feel a depressed and sleepy impulse.

The alchemist looked at the group of brocade guards shaking their heads and drowsy, and immediately took out a few Yang-Shaping Soul-Fixing Pills, clenched their fists and crushed them, and threw them in the direction of the ghost-eyed three-legged toad in the distance. The brocade guards in the East Factory retreated to a flat place one after another, pulled out special steel knives, and competed with these ghost beasts.

I never thought that these ghost beasts without fierce teeth and claws were so powerful, and before many Jinyi guards could cut them up close, the venom gland of the eardrum on the side of the head of the ghost-eyed three-legged toad spewed out a stream of green venom, and once the Jinyi Guard was stained with venom, it was like pouring sulfuric acid, and the whole body began to rot. All of a sudden, the screams continued, and although a few sturdy masters struck a blow and broke their stomachs, the ghost-eyed three-legged toad was full of poison, and the viscous green liquid splashed on their bodies would also fester.

Shi Dakuo, the ancestor of the opening mountain, has always dared to be angry and dare not speak out about what the eunuch Liu Jin and Dongchang have done over the years, of course, he will not die for it, as soon as he saw that the situation was beyond expectations, he immediately saved his life and retreated to the back, only to see him waving his flag and shouting, and not seeing him go into battle to kill the enemy. Although the alchemist has a good body method, and the Yang Creation Soul Fixing Pill in his hand is even more powerful, but in the face of a large number of ghost-eyed three-legged toads that are getting closer and closer, his personal bravery is only a flash in the pan. In the blink of an eye, these flesh-and-blood hunters have become the meal of the ghost-eyed three-legged toad, watching the colleagues around them become moths to the fire, some dead and no life, and the rest of the people have already become frightened birds, fleeing one after another, panicking, and there are many people who fall into the swamp.

And at this moment, the originally dim sky suddenly became dark. Shi Dakuo looked up, only to see that the black pressure was overwhelming, and countless ghost-faced bats were swooping towards them, these things that smelled of blood fell in the crowd, and with their sharp fangs, they were breaking through the flesh of the brocade guards and sucking the essence blood, and after a while, they became dried corpses. At this time, Shi Dakuo knew that the most dangerous thing was not the ghost-eyed three-legged toad, but these ghost-faced bats in the sky, all as big as a basin, he brandished the knife light, split a few ghost-faced bats on his body, and looked around, wanting to find out this ghost-obsessed alchemist, so that he could go up and make up for a few knives, and it could be regarded as a relief before he died. But before he could understand what was going on, suddenly the neck in the back of his head hurt, Shi Dakuo grabbed it with his backhand, and pinched a hideous grimaceous bat in his hand, he knew that he was in a catastrophe today, so he launched a ruthless attack, and also bit the neck of the grimaceous bat, only to feel a burst of fishy and disgusting viscous liquid immediately flowing out of Shi Dakuo's mouth.

The grimace bats around smelled the smell of blood on Shi Dakuo's neck, and immediately pounced, Shi Dakuo snorted twice, did not retreat but advanced, he picked up a long knife on the ground, with two knives in his hand, killing one is death, killing a hundred is also death, why not have a good time before death. Shi Dakuo jumped up and down, slashing left and right, but he still couldn't resist the ants biting the elephant to death, and the fangs of several grimace bats were firmly attached to him, sucking blood frantically. Shi Dakuo, who felt the rapid loss of blood from his body, only felt dizzy and weak in his limbs, and he fell into the swamp, and he had to drag these vampires to be buried with him when he died.

And at this moment, an incomparably huge ghost-eyed three-legged toad suddenly jumped up from the quagmire, opened its mouth, and swallowed Shi Dakuo in one bite, Shi Dakuo only felt a darkness in front of him, as if he was tightly wrapped in something, he hurriedly struggled to death, although his hands and feet could not move, but he couldn't bear to have a good tooth. When the wind and clouds suddenly changed, I saw that the huge ghost-eyed three-legged toad suddenly stiffened, and wanted to spit out the food in its mouth, but Shi Dakuo was like a ghost-faced bat, firmly biting on the ghost-eyed three-legged toad's egg-sized inner dan, and he couldn't shake it off. This ghost-eyed three-legged toad, which has lived for hundreds of years, is really unlucky, and it has lost its Nedan, and it fell straight on the swamp without jumping a few times, and before it died, it did not forget to open its mouth and vomit out this harmful thing. And Shi Dakuo also fainted to death in the belly of the ghost-eyed three-legged toad due to excessive blood loss.

When he awoke, there was nothing alive on the ground except for a pile of corpses. Shi Dakuo burrowed out the corpse and jumped out of the swamp by stepping on the head of the ghost-eyed three-legged toad. He was completely disoriented in the Three Realms Ghost Domain, although he did not have the Yang Creation Soul Fixing Pill, but since he came out of the belly of the Ghost Eye Three-legged Toad, he seemed to be completely uneroded by the Yin Qi of the Ghost Domain. Half a year later, the unkempt and skinny Shi Dakuo appeared in front of the gate of the Shi family, he was dressed in tatters, holding a broken bowl, and bowed three times to the old lady who went out, and then went incognito, escaped to the countryside, and disappeared in the sight of the Jinyi guard in the capital.

Shi Dakuo, who was dressed as a Taoist priest, walked all over the country, and vaguely learned from countless ancient books of wild history that what the alchemist wanted was not the pimple meat on the back of the ghost-eyed three-legged toad, but its demon pill, a medicinal material that could refine immortal medicine. Legend has it that Qin Shi Huang sent Fang Shi Xu Fu to the sea twice to look for the immortal elixir, which is very likely to be looking for the demon pill in the belly of the ghost-eyed three-legged toad, and the reason why he never returned, may have been buried in this swamp of buried bones.

Shi Dakuo, who came back from the Three Realms Ghost Domain, will have two strange red lights in the blink of an eye, which can take people's hearts and suppress ghosts and drive away evil spirits. Some people say that this is the reincarnation of the demon king, some people say that this is a curse, and some people say that this is an evil spirit possessed, each has different opinions, in short, the more it is spread, the more mysterious, and Shi Dakuo also has a loud legend of the road, a red-eyed old ghost.

There are many versions of the origin of the ghost eye, but Shi Yijian is more concerned about what Shi Dakuo has experienced in the six months of the Three Realms Ghost Domain, and how the world of the Ghost Domain, a mortal person, came out alive. Under Shi Yijian's relentless questioning, the third prince always hung on his lips: If the predecessors don't say it, how will the descendants know?
