Chapter 14 Zhao Sixi
When the two returned home, a ray of morning light from the east had already spread to the earth.
Shi Yijian was lying on the bed, thinking about the events of last night, and unconsciously, he had entered a dream. In the dream, Shi Yijian came to a barren mountain and mountain surrounded by piles of white bones, and was talking to an old man with a big iron chain on his limbs. He wanted to listen carefully, but was suddenly woken up by a ringtone on his mobile phone, and when he woke up, he found that he had been having the same dream lately, and he didn't know what it meant.
Shi Yijian rubbed his red and swollen eyes, picked up his mobile phone to connect the phone, and fed weakly.
A hoarse and high-pitched voice came from the phone: "Isn't it a strong one, I'm your father-in-law." ”
Shi Yijian immediately came to the spirit: "It's me, Taigong, what's the matter?" ”
"Well, tonight, an old friend of mine wants to meet with you, just in your store, you set up an incense table at the door to welcome customers, if you don't understand anything, you can ask Afan, he will teach you."
Shi Yijian instantly thought of the mysterious visitor of the third prince at the fat man's house a few days ago, and his spirit was stunned, and he replied: "Oh, okay, I'll go and prepare now." ”
Hanging up the phone, Shi Yijian picked up the fat man who was still lying in bed, walked quickly to the stall, and told Uncle Fan about the call of the third princess.
Uncle Fan thought for a while, picked up the pen and wrote the things to be prepared in the notebook, then tore the paper, handed it to the fat man, and said, "You go and buy all these things, you want them tonight." ”
Watching the fat man leave, Shi Yijian asked Uncle Fan: "Uncle Fan, does this Yin Si have any preferences?" ”
Uncle Fan nodded: "I don't know anything else, but I learned from the old man's mouth, this guy is a drunkard, and when the time comes, just prepare a table of good wine and good food, but before that, you have to prepare a bowl of yin and yang sacrifice water, so that they can eat and drink at will in the yang world." ”
Before you know it, the time has come to evening. After dinner, Shi Yijian glanced at the fat man and said, "It's nothing, you can go back first, just me and Uncle Fan here." ”
When the fat man heard this, he immediately stopped doing it, and shouted: "Eh, I said uncle, I am now half of your apprentice, why don't you let me participate in a good thing?" ”
"With your virtue, you may not be able to poke out some basket."
"I promise, no matter if they beat me or humiliate me, I will not scold or fight back. I haven't seen what a ghost looks like since I'm so old, so let me see it, uncle. ”
Looking at the fat man's dead and lazy expression, Shi Yijian said: "It's not simple, just have a gas poisoning, jumping off a building or something, and ensure that you can realize your dream in less than twenty-four hours." ”
When the fat man heard this, he was silent, and instantly pretended to have a cute expression. Seeing this, Shi Yijian knew that it would definitely not work if he didn't stay, so he made an appointment with him in three chapters: "Eh, okay, it's okay to stay, but all actions are under command, nothing happens, don't open your mouth indiscriminately." ”
The fat man hurriedly nodded in agreement. Shi Yijian looked at the wine cabinet and asked the fat man, "What kind of liquor is there at the counter?" ”
The fat man replied without thinking: "Prince, Wuliangye, Jian Nanchun, Zhuge Brew, Luzhou Laojiao, Xifeng, and two bottles of Feitian." ”
Shi Yijian thought for a while and said, "Eh, stop playing, you and I go to the Moutai store to carry two boxes of flying back." ”
As soon as the fat man heard this, he immediately suggested: "Uncle, you really have a lot of money, in my opinion, open two bottles of Feitian first, and then you can deal with it with the prince's wine, anyway, when you drink too much, you have to spit out everything, it's a pure waste, and you can't use such a luxury." ”
"Okay, then take a box to deal with first, I won't go, anyway, you know more about this than I do. Also, go to a nearby hotel and order a good meal, ask them to pack it and send it here, you can use it tonight. ”
Seeing that Uncle Fan was smoking a cigarette leisurely, the fat man muttered, complaining a little about Shi Yijian's unfair treatment. But he didn't say anything, after all, first come, first served, and only his junior was the youngest here.
When everything was ready, the room was quiet again. Playing with mobile phones, smoking cigarettes, everything is waiting for late-night visitors.
At three o'clock in the morning, that is, at twelve o'clock in the morning, there were suddenly two more figures outside the store. Shi Yijian realized something, and he immediately trotted to the door to greet the visitors. I saw that the leader was an old man in his sixties wearing a green coat, with a medium-sized figure, thick eyebrows and kind eyes, and a short white beard with a spring breeze.
Shi Yijian looked at this person, presumably this is what the third prince said, the white-bearded old man smiled slightly: "You are the great-grandson of the ghost eye Shi San, Shi Yijian?" ”
Shi Yijian hurriedly stretched out his hands to greet him: "Well, yes, you are Zhao Sixi, Mr. Zhao Qian?" ”
Zhao Sixi and Shi Yijian shook hands gently: "When we meet for the first time, you just call me Brother Zhao, don't see outside." As he spoke, he glanced back at the middle-aged man who was following behind.
I saw this middle-aged man with a leopard head and eyes, a face like a steel plate, and a tall figure, under a black tight-fitting suit, he appeared to have a thin waist and wide shoulders, and he was powerful. As soon as the middle-aged man saw the leader's instructions, he immediately took two small steps and handed a small black wooden box to Zhao Sixi.
Zhao Sixi took it and opened the wooden box inside, revealing a radish like something, handed it to Shi Yijian, and said: "This is the hundred-year-old ginseng we just dug up from the deep mountains and old forests, and it was delayed for some time, but fortunately, I didn't run in vain. ”
Shi Yijian heard that this was a century-old mountain ginseng, but he didn't dare to accept it, and when they met for the first time, he really didn't give a gift to return the favor.
The fat man saw that Shi Yijian was in a daze, and hurriedly stretched out his hands to take it: "Thank you Mr. Zhao Qian, I accepted it for my uncle." ”
Looking at the fat man's self-assertiveness, Shi Yijian glared at the fat man who was complacent, and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Zhao, I made you smile, come, hurry up and sit in the house." After that, he kicked the fat man who was still stunned: "What are you doing here, hurry up and heat up the dishes."
The two ghosts drank the talisman water handed by Uncle Fan, and then sat on the sofa and exchanged politeness with Shi Yijian.
This so-called rune water is to use yin and yang talismans, after burning, add water to the ashes, dip some incense burner ash on the incense table, stir gently, let the talisman ash and lamp oil melt into the water, so that it becomes a bowl of yin and yang sacrifice water. In fact, to put it bluntly, when they come to the world, they are also ghosts, and without the help of Fu Shui, they can only eat like chewing wax and can't taste anything.
After Shi Yijian lit a cigarette for the two of them, he went straight to the point: "Mr. Zhao, I don't know what I can do this time?" ”
Zhao Sixi leaned on the sofa, pondered for a while, took out a small blue and white porcelain vase from his arms, put it on the table, and said: "Alas, to be honest, this matter should not have been looked for you, but your grandfather recommended it, and said that you are his successor, and you will handle the future affairs on his behalf." Now, I can only trust him, and when I turn around, I must ask Shi Lao Ghost to bring you the golden compass, otherwise it will be difficult for you to go out this time. ”
Shi Yijian heard that he was going to bring a golden compass, and knew that this trip would definitely not be peaceful. Although the Shi family has always had a mysterious relationship with the Yin Si of the underworld, the first time they accepted the commission it might be a desperate deal, and they couldn't help but start to retreat.
Shi Yijian scratched his head and smiled: "Mr. Zhao, if this matter is dangerous, in my opinion, forget it, my dad is just one of my sons, in case there is a three-long and four-short, how can you tell him to be worthy of the ancestors of the Shi family, right?" ”
Zhao Sixi was stunned, he didn't expect this Shi family kid to dare to refuse him, and he couldn't help laughing and said, "Oh? You have some truth in what you said, it's just that your third wife has already agreed for you, why, didn't he tell you? ”
Looking at Shi Yijian's surprised expression, Zhao Sixi smiled even more on his face. He knocked on the table and pointed to the small blue and white porcelain vase on the table: "I originally wanted to send some eye drops to your third wife, but it's a pity." After that, he sighed, got up from the sofa, and made a gesture to leave: "Hey, do your best to obey the destiny of heaven, if you really don't want to, the old man is not strong, and he will leave." ”
Shi Yijian was only hot in the head just now before he could say such stupid things. When he came back to his senses, he immediately panicked when he saw that Zhao Sixi was leaving. If this let the third prince and his father know that they have despised the benefactor and backer of the Shi family so much, after going back, there will definitely be no good fruit to eat.
Thinking of his father's blue and black old face, Shi Yijian instantly bounced up from the sofa, pulled Zhao Sixi's sleeve, and begged with an embarrassed smile: "Mr. Zhao, I was joking with you just now, you adults don't care about villains, if there is anything, you just have to tell you." Saying that, Shi Yijian didn't forget to add: "Although it is the first time I have met you, I seem to have a kind of intimate feeling with you at first sight." ”
Zhao Sixi looked at the junior in front of him who was very good at talking, and smiled. After the two walked into the room, Zhao Sixi told Shi Yijian the ins and outs of the matter one by one.
About ten days ago, the black bear, the guard of the Ghost Gate, stole the Imperial Seal of the Ghost Market outside the Ghost Gate, and it was a great crime to lose the official seal, which was punishable by demotion or demotion to hell and trial. In the name of repairing the ghost market, Niu Zongbing, the guard general who commanded the 100,000 Yin soldiers outside the Ghost Gate, temporarily closed all activities in the ghost market, and secretly sent his henchman Zhao Sixi to arrest the black bear guarding the Ghost Gate Pass and recover the stolen customs clearance seal.
Without the official approval of the underworld, it can only be wishful thinking to try to catch the black bear guarding the ghost gate that has escaped to the world from various forces in the underworld.
The personal weapon used by the black bear is a black bone soul umbrella, which is more than four feet long, and the umbrella handle and umbrella bone are made of thousand-year-old black copper wood in the underworld, which is solid into steel, and has the effect of gathering yin and nourishing the soul. The surface of the umbrella is made of vampire's skin, which is two meters in diameter when opened, and the ghost is said to be able to walk normally under the fierce rays of the sun at noon. In addition, the Black Bone Soul Suppression Umbrella has the special effect of concealing the aura, and the 100,000 Yin soldiers outside the Ghost Gate want to find the whereabouts of the black bear, which is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Seeing that the Midyear Festival is approaching, the ghost gate will be wide open, and the ghosts will travel at night, if there is no customs clearance and the blessing of the imperial seal, the hundred ghosts will not be able to travel, and they will be stranded on the Huangquan Road, which will have a great impact. As a defender, Niu Zongbing is to blame for losing the important official seal of the prefecture, and Zhao Sixi, as the leader of the ghost market, will definitely be implicated.
Coincidentally, the Shi family happened to have an extremely rare tracking magic weapon, called the Golden Compass. And Zhao Sixi had close contacts with the Shi family, and by this coincidence, the two were tied to the same trench in the near future. Perhaps, in the dark, fate has already been arranged.
