Section 43 There is no such thing as a free lunch
"Xiaolong, what is the origin of this ghost king?" Master Jiang asked lying on the hospital bed with a deathly look on his face.
I thought for a moment and replied, "That's a very ferocious, evil, cruel, and insidious ghost, and whoever gets into trouble will be unlucky." β
"Xiaolong, it's all because you provoked the ghost king that you caused me to be like this."
Hearing this, I was so angry that one Buddha was born and two Buddhas ascended to heaven! Can you still get a face? If I hadn't helped you clean up the mess of the vice governor, would I have gotten into trouble with the ghost king? I don't blame you, you put the basin on my head first!
(Note: One Buddha was born, and two Buddhas ascended to heaven.) It means 'to come alive from the dead'. οΌ
Seeing that my face was gloomy, Jiang Yunsheng said, "Xiaolong, don't be angry, my dad is joking." β
Master Jiang also snorted: "That's right, it was a joke just now, Xiaolong, you must be able to deal with the Ghost King, right?" β
"Can't deal with it! Ask for more blessings! Let's go! I said angrily, and walked away. When I walked out of the hospital gate, I asked with a solemn face, "Ugly ghost, what now?" With your way, can you beat the ghost king? β
The ugly ghost shook his head and said, "The ghost king is much higher than me, you can't fight hard, you can only outwit ...... In this way, the soldiers will be divided into two ways, and I will immediately go back to find my junior sister; You gather all the Taoist forces in Qingtian City and unite the power of everyone to deal with the ghost king together! β
I rolled my eyes and said, "I want to too, but how can I have such a strong appeal?" β
"Don't you know a Taoist priest with the surname Liang? Let him help, it's man-made. β
Since the words have come to this point, I can only nod in embarrassment: "Okay, I will do my best, but you also have to come back quickly, otherwise this time you will die......"
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
The ugly ghost walked so crisply that it even made me suspect that his real purpose was to run away!
Of course, it's just a suspicion...... Before he came back, he could only act alone, and the fourth and fifth brothers were too low, and it was useless to come, so they didn't need to be 'on duty' recently.
At noon, I made an appointment for a big dinner.
After meeting at the entrance of the mall, I took him into a noodle restaurant and said generously: "Order whatever you want, you can order whatever you want, it's not bad for money." β
Liang Chao was full of black lines: "Why don't I invite you, go to the opposite side and eat teppanyaki." β
"How can that work? I'll have a treat. β
After ordering two bowls of noodles, Liang Chao Yi asked, "What's the matter with me?" β
"Big deal!" I looked left and right and whispered, "I want to gather all the Taoist priests in Qingtian City to fight against the Ghost King together!" β
"What? You are crazy? Liang Chao looked at me with the eyes of a psychopath: "If the ghost king doesn't take the initiative to find trouble, we will burn high incense, who dares to come out and resist?" The slightly more powerful Taoist priests were all killed, to put it mildly, now Qingtian City is stealing trash fish, of course, excluding me. β
I knew he was bragging, but I didn't debunk it, but said, "Brother Liang, since you are so powerful, can you think of a way?" To be honest, the Ghost King noticed me, but I didn't want to die, so I wanted to gather everyone to stand up and resist! We can't let the ghost king slaughter it like this anymore! β
"Well, I understand this truth, but if you want to resist, it's not easy to say."
"What then? Can I just wait to die? β
Liang Chao Yi nodded: "Theoretically, that's the case, but ...... There is another way, maybe it can save your life. β
I hurriedly said, "I want to hear about it!" β
"Well, this method is simple and simple, and complex and complicated. You should know that the ghost king has been entrenched in Qingtian City in recent years and has killed many Taoist heirs, so now there are fewer than twenty people in Qingtian City who have real skills, and most of them are half-hangers, and it is unrealistic to rely on them to deal with the ghost king. Your only way out is to ask the 'Taoist Association' for help. β
"Taoist Society?" I repeated, "Sounds amazing? β
Liang Chao's face was solemn: "Not bad! The Taoist Association is indeed very powerful! There are a few antique-level masters inside! As long as they make a move, it shouldn't be a problem to deal with the Ghost King, but it is very difficult to contact them. β
I asked, "Why?" Are they mysterious? β
"It's not that it's mysterious, it's just that those old antiques don't care about the world, and if you want to find them, you have to go through some small minions. As the saying goes, 'Hades is good, but the little ghosts are difficult', you have to prepare 1.8 million first, so that those little ghosts are satisfied, and then they will help you introduce them. As for whether the antiques will make a move, it depends on your luck. β
"But where am I going to get 1.8 million? Don't play international jokes with me, okay? β
Liang Chao was silent for a while, and said: "There was a master in the Taoist Association back then, who owed my father a favor, so I can help you contact him." But you should know that there is no such thing as a free lunch. I don't go around the bush, and if this can be done, I'm going to strike the wooden sword with lightning. β
"Yes." I replied very simply: "Although the Lightning Strike Wooden Sword is precious, it is worthless compared to my life, and now the time is pressing, I hope you can get in touch as soon as possible!" β
Liang Chao Yi comforted: "Don't worry, I can give you news tonight......"
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
In the afternoon, I came to school with Dandan's sorrow, standing on the edge of the basketball court, watching my classmates play.
When I was looking at Zhenghai, someone suddenly patted me on the shoulder, and when I looked back, I found that it was Shi Haochi at the same table! I don't usually talk to him, and the relationship is not very good, what is he looking for me for? So I asked, "Is there something wrong?" β
"Of course, we've been playing a really fun game lately, and we'd like to invite you to participate."
"Not interested."
Shi Haochi smiled mysteriously and said: "Don't be in a hurry to refuse, our game is very interesting, we go to various haunted places every night to explore, whoever goes home first will lose, how about it?" Do you dare to play? If you lose, you'll have to give me the squad leader! β
"Are you sick?" I replied lightly. At this time, I was worried about how to deal with the ghost king, how could I be in the mood to play this?
Shi Haochi used the agitation method: "Bruce Lee, you are too cowardly, even Wei Zhu has participated in this game, but you don't participate!" I thought you would be my fierce rival in life, but now I know that you can't compare to me in anything, whether it is courage or achievements! β
I cursed a fool in my heart, and stopped ignoring him, I don't have time to play this kind of child's game.
After entering the class, a person walked up to my desk, knocked on the table, and said condescendingly: "Bruce Lee, you dare not participate in our game?" You're too timid, aren't you? "It was the 'three good students' Wei Zhu who spoke. As for which three are good? They are: the first from the bottom, the fattest in the class, and the richest in the class.
I shook my head and said, "No, I'm going home early to study." β
"Damn, who are you bluffing, if you study, the old hen will be able to climb the tree! Go to Jingshan Cemetery tonight, if you don't go, you won't be able to chase the squad leader in the future! β
This guy is also naΓ―ve and cute, you can soak whoever you like, and it has something to do with me. But then again, with his dignity and physique, Jiang Yunsheng can't take a fancy to him. So he shook his head and said, "No, I'm not interested in Jiang Yunsheng." β
Wei Zhu showed such an expression, and said to Shi Haochi: "Look, I said a long time ago that only you are the fierce rival in my life!" Continue to explore tonight, whoever is scared to pee his pants first will have to take the initiative to quit and let the squad leader out! β
At this moment, I suddenly said, "You two better not go, go home and sleep." β
The two of them were fighting with high spirits, and they were suddenly doused by me with a basin of water, and they were instantly unhappy, and said, "I have a fart relationship with you, and you don't dare to come anyway." β
It's not that I didn't dare to go, but after careful observation, I found that both of their eyebrows were a little dark, although it was very slight, but I could still see that according to my experience, this was exactly the Yin Qi invading the body! Obviously, these two guys are in trouble, but I can't say it clearly, so I can only persuade them not to go.
And I'm short on time now, and I don't have time to help them exorcise ghosts, so I'll talk about it when the ghost king's matter is over.
It's a pity that these two guys didn't appreciate it, and said sneeringly: "Bruce Lee, don't say it, we all know that you are timid, and I heard that there is a terrible ghost in Jingshan Cemetery, so I don't dare to go there, haha......"
Listening to their contemptuous laughter, I looked at me with pity, and said in my heart that if there are really powerful ghosts in Jingshan Cemetery, I'm afraid you won't be able to come back tonight. But after thinking about it for a few more seconds, I felt that it was not appropriate, after all, there were two lives in front of me, and I couldn't sit idly by!
So he could only grit his teeth and say, "Tonight, I'll go with you......"
