Chapter Twenty-Five: The Man Behind It
I looked back and was the old driver.
He said that after he answered my call, he rushed this way, and he happened to see this scene outside the door.
I saw him coming in the dust, and he was panting slightly, with a pair of thick eyebrows furrowed, and the corners of his mouth drooping.
It seems to have come all the way.
When he saw me, his expression suddenly changed, and he had a surprised expression, "Why do you feel that your Taoism has increased again?" ”
I told him a brief story about my previous experience with the scorched ghost and the female ghost that I had eaten.
The old driver told me that it was because he had absorbed their Taoism through the mana of the earth beasts.
Those two ghosts are so fierce, someone must have injected mana and refined them.
I didn't think about it, so I let you eat it all.
I looked at the old ghost huddled in the corner and couldn't help but be suspicious of him.
"These ghost corpses have just died, and they don't have any mana at all, how can they stand and walk for no reason, let alone attack people." The old driver clenched his fists, and saw that his chest seemed to be full of anger, his eyes widened, and he said to the old astringent ghost, "It's you who uses ghost control techniques, who are you?" ”
The old ghost curled up in the corner, his body trembling slightly, and he was silent in the face of the old driver's questioning.
I grabbed him by the neck, "If you don't say anything, don't blame me for eating you." ”
The old ghost's wrinkled, corpse-spotted old face showed a frightened look, and his toothless mouth trembled, "Don't eat me, I will tell you anything you want." ”
"My name is Wang Laifu, and I died eight years ago." The old ghost showed a frank and lenient attitude. "Oh, I shouldn't have smoked so much!"
"Don't say it's useless! I know all of that. As soon as I heard him talk nonsense, my anger grew even stronger, and my eyes were bloodshot.
The old ghost king Laifu said aggrievedly, "You don't have to listen to me slowly." ”
"I was a lonely old man when I was born, and I had a son and two daughters under my knees, but they both went to settle in the United States and never came back. I knew I had lung cancer, had chemotherapy a few times, stabilized, and was discharged from the hospital. I didn't recheck, I know what's going on, bad old man, let's die. As a result, one night, I was going to the toilet and suddenly died after pulling half of it. ”
"It took more than a month after I died for my body to be found by my neighbors. Fortunately, it was winter, and the family did not pay the heating bill, otherwise the body would have decomposed. ”
The old ghost looked miserable, and the old driver and I couldn't help but sigh after listening to it.
"But, how do you know how to control ghosts?" The old driver asked suddenly.
"I learned a little Maoshan Dao before I was alive, and I worshipped a master of the righteous school, but I was not good at learning, it was all fur, although I also learned ghost control techniques, but I never knew the essentials, and I never succeeded." The old astringent ghost said.
"And you just now?" The old driver was puzzled.
"Don't worry," the old ghost stood up and sat down on the single bed, "My soul has been following my corpse since I died, and to be honest, I am indeed a little unwilling, thinking that I have worked so hard to raise a few children, and no one will send them to the end when they die, and I don't know if they know that I am dead." ”
Looking at the appearance of the old ghost, it was obvious that he was enduring the pain in his heart, and suddenly, his cloudy eyes revealed a determined look, "After I arrived at the funeral home, I also went out, but no one else could see me, I couldn't go to my children, and I couldn't find anyone to help me bring a letter, I was desperate." ”
"As a result, one day, a man in a black Tang costume came to the funeral home, he was about 40 years old, when I first met him, I found that his expression was very lazy, his eyes were small like a black slit, his eyebrows were faint, and he could hardly see that he had eyebrows if he didn't look closely, and his face was not too big, he was relatively thin, and his chin was pointed."
After the old ghost finished speaking, he added, "This person is very strange." ”
When the old astringent ghost talked about this man in Tang costume, his voice trembled, and it was obvious that he was afraid.
The old driver was very curious, frowned slightly, and continued to listen quietly.
"What's so strange about him?" I asked.
"He can see me." The old devil looked up at me and said, "Then he infused me with mana, so that I could change as I pleased, so that others could see me. ”
"He asked for the contact information of my children, saying that he wanted to help me find them and tell them that I was dead." The more the old ghost talked, the more ugly his face became.
Both the old driver and I wondered, "Isn't this a good thing?" I asked.
"At first, I thought it was a good thing," the old ghost shook his head helplessly, looked at me with a loveless expression, and said, "Can you give me another cigarette?" ”
It's really a dog can't change eating, "I've finished lighting a box of cigarettes, how can there be." Bear with me. ”
At this time, the old driver hurriedly took out a box of cigarettes from his trouser pocket, took out one, lit it and handed it to the old astringent.
After the old astringent ghost smashed it a few bites, he said slowly, "Then Tang Tian did go to the United States and helped me find my children, but... ”
"Just what?" The old driver and I asked in unison.
"It's just that he used my children's lives to blackmail me, and asked me to help him monitor all the movements in the funeral home, and also help him secretly transport the body outside." The old devil lowered his head, didn't dare to look at me, and smoked to himself.
"He also taught you the art of ghost control?" The old driver approached him.
"Yes, he's a great character." The old ghost was full of shame.
"Don't you feel ashamed, you were once a disciple of the Zhengyi faction, and you were manipulated by others, acting for the tiger, and doing the business of smuggling corpses." The old driver said indignantly, and as he spoke, he put one hand on his waist and waved the other hand up and down, pointing at the old ghost.
I was busy thinking about Jiang Lina's body, and hurriedly asked, "Where was Jiang Lina's body stolen by you?" ”
"The beauty?" The old ghost showed a greedy look in his eyes, and his hands were gesturing, as if outlining her figure.
"You've made the same mistake again?" I roared.
The old astringent ghost's eyes widened when he was frightened by me, and he quickly put away his lewd expression, "Jiang Lina, I didn't do this, I really don't know." ”
"Who's that?" I guess he must know the inside story.
"It's hairy eggs." The old astringent ghost shook the butt of the cigarette he had smoked in his hand, and wanted to ask for another one, but I motioned to the old driver not to give it to him.
But the old driver, after hesitating for a moment, gave it to him anyway.
The old astringent ghost swallowed the clouds and spit out the fog for a while, and then said, "Mao Dan is also Tang Tian's person, Tang Tian needs to have such a person in the funeral home to be his internal response and help him choose the corpse, after all, there are many things, and the ghost can't help." However, he didn't trust Mao Dan very much, so he also asked me to spy on Mao Dan. ”
"But over the years, Mao Dan has taken a lot of benefits from the middle."
"Why did the hairy egg die? Did you do it? I wondered.
"Alas, that's hard to say!" The old ghost became melancholy, and a cigarette was in his mouth.
