Chapter 3: Uncle Xiao

Jiang Huo nodded again and again, and hurriedly said the cause and effect of pouring beans into the bamboo tube: "One day, I was gambling on the street and accidentally lost the bottom line. ”

"I just wanted to go to the east of the street to find someone to borrow some money."

"As soon as I turned the corner, I heard the voices of two men, one of whom begged the other: Don't force me to force me so hard, I really don't have the money to pay back."

The other scolded him: Good boy, I asked you the year before last and you had no money, last year I asked you that you had no money, and this year I asked you that you have no money. But don't expect me to do the same as last time. ”

"The previous one asked him what he wanted?"

Another fierce god told him that there was a temple of Wahuang on the white volcano not far from here, and there were many jewels and jade objects in the temple, and even the railings were made of gold. You go with me, and we will have three or seven cents of the things we get when the time comes, and I don't want you to pay back the money, how about it? ”

"Timidly said: It's good, but I heard that the terrain of the White Volcano is very strange, don't talk about unclean things, and there are people guarding it all year round, so you can't get in."

The bold contemptuous smile: Then you don't have to worry, the mountain guards on the White Volcano are now all from the Fengchi Heavenly Master's Mansion, and one of them is my distant cousin. I have already told him to find a shortcut for us on the mountain, and when we go up the hill from the path, it will be my cousin's duty to arrive at the Wahuang Temple, and he will turn a blind eye as long as we sell it and give him a little. ”

Jiang Huo paused for a moment and said, "The timid one agreed when he heard that he didn't have to pay back the money and made money." ”

"What about you?"

The old man squinted his eyes and asked, "When you hear them say this, you should also have a little crooked mind, follow them to fish in troubled waters and pick up some cheapness, right?" ”

Jiang Huo scratched his head embarrassedly, with an expression that he was still a good friend if he saw through it: "Hey! I don't owe gambling debts, I can't help it! ”

"I followed the two up the mountain to the Wahuang Temple."

"I really saw a room full of glittering things, and needless to say, I knew that they were worth a lot. The two men hurriedly took a lot of things until the sack could not fit before they reluctantly left. ”

"I hid behind the pillar, and when I saw them gone, I wanted to go out and get some."

After a while, footsteps sounded outside, and it seemed that the patrol was coming. I was afraid that people would get caught and want to leave, but I couldn't make it a mistake to just leave. ”

"I glanced around, and took off the gold bracelet from the hand of the idol nearest to me."

Jiang Huo said as he stretched out a hand, and a golden thing on his wrist: "Look, this is it." I was going to sell it for money to pay off my gambling debts. But my creditor suddenly died inexplicably, and the owner of the antique shop said that he did not dare to accept the bracelet. ”

"When I saw that it was four real gold, I put it on my hand."

"Don't say it,"

Jiang Huo was happy while turning his wrist: "It's pretty good-looking, hehehe." ”

The old man glanced at Jiang Huo: "Then after you took off the gold bracelet from the hand of the idol, did you feel the gust of yin wind, and there were countless cool air drilling into your body?" ”

Jiang Huo took down the cigarette in his mouth as soon as he heard it: ", how do you know?" ”

"Huh!"

The old man sneered: "The statues and gold artifacts on the white volcano are all used to suppress the evil things under the mountain, if I guess correctly, what was suppressed under the statue of the god you took the things from is the unjust soul of the old lady Jiang in her previous life." ”

"The gold bracelet is the mechanism of the idol."

"You take the bracelet and release what's under the idol."

Speaking of this, the old man couldn't help but scold: "It's too late for people to find your wife for revenge, so you sent it to the door." They smelled the same blood and blood as Mrs. Jiang on your body, and concluded that you were Mrs. Jiang's relatives, so who would you be if you didn't come up to find Mrs. Jiang for revenge? ”

"it!"

Jiang Huo reacted and scolded again: "So I'm not intermittent neurotic? I said, why do I always feel like hitting my mom wasn't my intention? ”

"But you caused it,"

I emphasized: "You can't be greedy to follow those two people to the White Volcano, can you get these things back?" You'll have to cooperate with us to get this thing away. ”

"No problem."

Jiang Huo patted his chest and promised: "How to send it?" ”

The old man said matter-of-factly: "Normally, ordinary people can burn more money as long as they do too much. ”

"But I just talked to him about my dead man, and they said that there was no one to say anything about this old feud, and no one would leave them. It is not useful to give money excessively. ”

"Mr. Yin and Yang has rules, but Yin people are unwilling, and there will be karmic retribution if they forcibly interfere with excess."

"There are so many yin people, if you don't get angry, our two masters will be struck by lightning. So this matter itself is not that tens of thousands of dead people in life are not easy to mess with, but that the causal feud in it is not easy to interfere. ”

I was confused: "What should I do?" ”

"I can't help it!"

The old man spread his hands: "You also saw it just now, if we are not careful, we will finish playing like the Fire Residence Taoist." Anyway, I mean don't move, those dead people on Jiang Huo's body let me give them a grudge. ”

"They are not convinced, why did Mrs. Jiang create thousands of killings in her previous life, and she can still be reincarnated as a human in this life."

"Unless Old Lady Jiang dies, they will never leave the Jiang family."

As soon as I heard this, I immediately realized that the situation was serious.

Who knew that the old man sighed again: "Actually, even if they torture the old lady Jiang to death, they will not leave the ten thousand ghost caves where Jiang Huo walks." What a freedom it is for a dead person to walk under the blue sky and white sun with the help of the body of an unintentional person. ”

"I'm afraid that wherever they go in the future, it won't be peaceful anywhere."

It's worth it.

The book says that the ghost goes out at 8 o'clock in the evening and returns at 6 o'clock in the morning.

If all the dead walked outside in broad daylight, wouldn't the world be in chaos?

I was just about to ask, is there really no way to solve this?

The old man hooked his finger at me: "Boy, come here, I'll teach you a way, our two sons will solve the matter of walking ten thousand ghost caves together today, and save it from harming people in the future." ”

I was puzzled and asked, "Didn't you just say you couldn't help it?" ”

The old man peeled peanuts and gave me a white look: "I said I couldn't help it, and I didn't say that others couldn't help it." ”

"Who?"

I don't believe it: "There are too many dead people on Jiang Huo's body, and there are causal feuds involved." They are unwilling to go, who has a way to take them in the world's Daomen and Xuanmen? ”

"Which big guy has such great ability?"

The old man hooked his hand at me: "Do you know Uncle Xiao?" ”

"Which Uncle Xiao?"

I snatched a handful of peanuts from his hand and ate them as I recalled: "The one who sells bean sprouts on the street or the one who fishes in Windward Lake?" ”

The old man almost slapped me: "Aren't they? ”

"Uncle Xiao is a person's name."

"On our side, when a person swaggers to make all sorts of unreasonable demands on you and asks you to implement them, we usually reply to him with disdain: Who are you? Do you think you're Uncle Xiao? ”

"In other words, Uncle Xiao's request is something that no one can refuse."

"As long as he finds this Uncle Xiao, he will let those dead people on Jiang Huo's body leave with a word, and they will not dare not leave. Shouyi, you go find this Uncle Xiao. ”

I looked confused: "Which uncle is so powerful, why haven't I heard of it?" ”

The old man's eyes rolled: "This Uncle Xiao is an old friend of mine, and he lives in the town. You go find him and ask him to solve the crisis between us and the Jiang family. ”

Although I didn't know anyone with such great ability, I still replied, "Yes." ”

"Tell me where he lives, and I'll go now."

The old man pulled me back, who was about to go out: "He has no fixed place to live, no place to live." He likes to wander around, and you have to stop him in his way. ”

Me: "......"

"Master, how do I know where he's going? I don't even know him. ”

The old man muttered, "I don't know either." ”

"Huh?"

In my puzzled eyes, the old man hurriedly changed his words: "What, according to my research, on the first day of junior high school today, he likes to walk around the cemetery. You will take a food box with some good wine and good food in a while, and when you see him, you will ask him to take a bite anyway. If he eats your stuff, he'll be sure to help. ”

"But remember, no matter how much he asks, he can't say that I came up with the idea, understand?"

When Jiang Huo heard this, he turned around and prepared the wine and food.

"Master,"

I asked the old man again: "You've been talking for a long time, I don't even know what Uncle Xiao looks like?" ”

"Uh..."

The old man thought for a moment: "I don't know. But today, on the first day of junior high school, he should wear cyan. In short, pay attention on the road, any old man who is touched with cyan and is over the age of sixteen may be Uncle Xiao. ”

In this way, the old man stayed at Jiang's house to watch Jiang Huo, and he accidentally took Mrs. Jiang to see the king of Hades.

I carried a box of hot wine and food by myself, and walked back and forth on the road to the left of the cemetery under a hill that the old man pointed out for a while.

It's the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year.

The cemetery is not deserted.

From time to time, people or cars come and go to the grave of their ancestors, this cemetery is very large, and the sound of firecrackers is endless.

There are also many people in the martyrs' tombs on the top of the mountain who go to burn paper to commemorate the martyrs.

The air was filled with the strong smell of gunpowder and paper money.

No matter how strong the smell of the New Year is, it can't stop the fragrance of the wine and food I am carrying in the food box under my right hand, these wine and food are prepared by Jiang Huo under the guidance of the old man, saying that Uncle Xiao's appetite is good, he likes to eat fragrant things.

I couldn't help but lift the lid and take a look, huh!

A plump and golden lotus chicken, a steamed sea bass with white and tender flesh, a boxy and crystal clear Dongpo meat and a pot of Feitian Moutai.

No wonder it smells so good.

The plates containing them are all blue and white porcelain, and they seem to be the Yuan blue and white unicorn longevity plates that the old man has treasured for many years. The chopsticks are pure gold carved with branches, and even the wine pot containing Moutai wine is also the old man's most reluctant to use the Wanzi Wanshou pure silver pot before.

It's all antique.

Where is this for dinner?

The whole antique appreciation conference?

The key to these things, the old man didn't even let him touch them before, and he has always carefully treasured them as treasures, but today he is willing to take them out to fill the wine and food for this Uncle Xiao.

It seems that without these things, even Uncle Xiao will not eat the delicacies of the mountains and seas.

Who is this Uncle Xiao?

When I think of this, I am more and more curious, and I wish that a person in green clothes would appear on the highway earlier, so that I could see the style of the legendary Uncle Xiao.

But when it was almost noon, Uncle Xiao still didn't show up.

People who come and go to the grave, not to mention young children, even an old woman is dressed in joy, who will go out today in a green dress that is more ugly than the face of a dead man?

In a few moments, at half past one in the afternoon, all the people who had come to the grave were almost gone.

In addition to wearing red and hanging colors, piled with firecracker crumbs of the earth's spring thunder and the everlasting lights lit up on the grave, each grave in the cemetery is also much deserted. Even the old man who watched the cemetery thought that I had come to the grave of my ancestors when he saw me carrying a food box.

Kindly reminded me, "Young man, why haven't you gone in?" ”

"If you don't burn the paper, I'll close the door of the graveyard at two o'clock in a while." My eldest nephew had a banquet this afternoon and asked me to go to dinner. Hold on. ”

"It's fine."

I hurriedly patted the food box on my hand: "I'm here to wait for someone." ”

As soon as the words fell, I heard a high-pitched trumpet, and the soprano inside was happily singing a song of pro-army flower drums: "It's the New Year in the first month, and I caught up with the pigs and sheep out of the bird's door, pigs!" Sheep! Where to send it!? Give it to the ......"

Before he finished singing, he saw a big green ox pulling a cart from the corner of the road.

When I saw the ox cart, I was overjoyed.
