Chapter Eighty-Five: The Puppet
Li Zhe's matter ended completely that night, and Lin Qiu also returned to the house where she and Li Zhe lived that night, and later Lin Qiu contacted me and said that Li Zhe seemed to have never appeared, neither his parents nor her friends had ever mentioned him.
When she went home, her father sighed and asked her to find a boyfriend, I comforted her and said that none of this is important, the important thing is to start a new life, and the matter about Li Zhe is regarded as a nightmare, and now that she has woken up from the dream, life still has to go on.
Lin Qiu seemed to be enlightened after hearing what I said, and after saying thank you to me for everything I had done for her, she hung up the phone.
When the eighth master was at my house that day, I asked him what would happen to Xiaohua after it was put into the Qiankun bag, and the eighth master said that the Qiankun bag has its own world inside, and maybe Xiaohua will have its own opportunities in it.
That night, when my grandfather and the eighth master left my house together, the old man smiled at me when he went out, touched his bald head and said let me go to his place in a month, he had something to tell me.
Zhang Han later told me about the events of that night, she only remembered that she was just about to perform a soul attack on the female ghost when she felt a very powerful force occupy her body, and then she didn't remember anything, and when she woke up again, she found herself and Lin Qiu lying side by side on the bed.
Zhang Han said that it was also thanks to the eighth master's requiem pill, if it weren't for that requiem pill, she would have at least had a serious illness for half a year, Zhang Han also said that the requiem pill is the eighth master's unique secret recipe, and even Cui Xiaobai doesn't have a secret recipe.
In short, Lin Qiu's matter can be regarded as a perfect solution, but the only thing that puzzles me is that Nini has never changed back to the way she was a little girl before, I asked Zhang Han if she knew what was going on, Zhang Han also shook her head and said I didn't know, I asked Nini She also looked loveless, looking at this look, I guess Nini will not be able to change back for a while.
In the end, I discussed with Zhang Han and bought a particularly luxurious pet villa for Nini on the Internet, with 4 floors, and all the entertainment facilities, after the pet villa was sent to my house, Zhang Han and I spent a long time assembling this thing, Zhang Han hugged Nini and said to her that when she let her live here in the future, Nini's eyes were very vicious and resentful.
After Zhang Han and I strongly asked her to go in, Nini was very unhappy to get in, and after getting in, she seemed to be angry with the two of us, she quickly kicked a movable wheel inside, which made Zhang Han and us laugh non-stop, and finally Nini seemed to be tired, and climbed on it to sleep and no longer bothered with us.
After Lin Qiu's incident, I also deeply realized my own shortcomings, to be honest, the Tianyantong and Tianertong that I have now mastered do not belong to the means of attack, although these two supernatural powers are relatively powerful supernatural powers, but most of the time they are not as good as a spell, and my theoretical knowledge is too lacking, I also talked to Zhang Han about these two problems now, Zhang Han said that these things are not in a hurry, after all, I have been in contact with these things until now it is about 1 year, It is absolutely impossible to eat a fat person in one breath when cultivating this thing, just treat it with a normal heart.
After that, Zhang Han threw me a few books for me to read first, and if there was anything I didn't understand, I casually picked up a book called "Dao Talisman Daquan", rolled a few times, and suddenly felt that my head was big, even if I didn't look at the words on it, I felt that the pictures of those Dao runes were unfathomable, and I forced myself to read it for five minutes and then threw the book aside and fell asleep.
In short, after Lin Qiu's incident, life returned to the way it was before, Jiang San called me a few days ago, and asked me on the phone if I had time, if I had time, I would have a meal together and get to know the company's management by the way, because last time because of Lin Qiu's matter, I released him once, this time I can't shirk it, I hurriedly said on the phone that there is time, Jiang San was overjoyed after hearing it, and said that he would see him in the VIP1 private room of the city's wealthy seafood restaurant in the evening.
When I arrived at the VIP1 private room of the Regal Seafood Restaurant, Jiang San and two middle-aged people were already drinking tea and chatting in the spacious private room, and Jiang San immediately introduced me after seeing me come in, the two middle-aged people were slightly taller surnamed Deng, and the dark-skinned one was surnamed Li, Jiang San said that both of them were veterans of the company, surnamed Deng was responsible for finance, surnamed Li was responsible for the company's fast-moving consumer department and entertainment department, and the regal seafood meal where we are now is wholly owned by Jiang's Group.
Jiang San introduced me as his newly recruited consultant, and did not say which aspect I was mainly responsible for, the two of them shook hands with me very politely, and after sitting down, Jiang San poured me a cup of tea and asked me how I was doing, I said that I had been good recently, but I was a little busy a while ago, Jiang San nodded after listening and did not say anything.
The four of us chatted with each other, that is, after about half an hour, more than a dozen people came one after another, Jiang San introduced me one by one, Jiang San said that those who can come to this private room today are the bosses of the company's departments, and there is no other meaning to call everyone over today, one is to welcome me to join their Jiang Group, and the other is to have a dinner with the company's executives.
In fact, I rarely have the opportunity to participate in this kind of more formal gathering, and I don't like this atmosphere too much, during the banquet, the company's executives frequently toasted me, it seems that they can also see that Jiang San's attitude towards me is also flattering me, I don't drink very well, but for the sake of face, I have to drink a glass of wine with each executive, and I have drunk a little dizzy after a round.
Everyone at the dinner table is talking about some things in the company's business, in fact, it can be said that this meal is a working meal for executives to report to Jiang San, I heard it in a fog, plus I drank some wine and suddenly felt big, I went to the bathroom to wash my face with cold water and felt a lot more sober, and when I returned to my seat, everyone had finished the topic just now, and found a new topic to chat, although this topic was much easier than those business just now, but I also couldn't interject a little.
Finally got up to the end of the table, Jiang San and I finally left the private room, Jiang San also drank a lot of wine, his face was flushed, he put his arm around my shoulders and asked me how I felt, I said it was not bad, Jiang San smiled and didn't speak, when the two of us walked to the door of the Regal Seafood Restaurant, Jiang San said to me lightly
"I feel like my big brother isn't dead yet"
I was a little confused by Jiang San's headless words, because at that time, Jiang San's eldest brother had been tortured by the head lowering technique, and finally could only watch Jiang San's eldest brother die, although I was not present at the time, but the funeral of Jiang San's eldest brother was arranged by the ninth brother, I looked at Jiang San in confusion and didn't speak, Jiang San shook the collar of his windbreaker, took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit one and said to me
"Anyway, it doesn't matter if my eldest brother is dead or alive, you just have to find a way to make him disappear"
After saying that, he took a few puffs of cigarettes, threw the cigarette on the ground and got into the car parked at the door of the restaurant, and before closing the door, Jiang San smiled and waved goodbye to me, and then closed the car door.
Jiang San's face completely changed when he talked to me about his eldest brother, and even I thought that Jiang San's expression at that time was a little resentful, on the way home from the Regal Seafood Restaurant, I kept thinking about what he meant by the words he said to me before he got into the car, and then thought of the various encounters between his second brother and his eldest brother and Lao Jiang, I even felt that this matter was not as simple as Jiang San said.
I took out my mobile phone and wanted to call Brother Jiu to ask about Brother Jiang's third brother, but I hung up again when the phone was dialed out, I felt that it was not very good for me to ask Brother Jiu about this matter so rashly, because I didn't know what the relationship between Brother Jiu and Jiang San was, and in the end, I didn't come to any conclusion after thinking about it, and I simply washed and went to bed after I got home.
The next day I was woken up by my grandfather's phone, the old man asked me if I was in the store, I said I am still at home, I will go to the store in a while, the old man said don't go to the store first, go to his house, he has something to find me by the way to give me something, the old man said this, I suddenly remembered the night the old man came to my house, he told me to let me go to his house in a month, if the old man didn't call me this call I really forgot about it, I said to the old man on the phone that I would be there in a while, the old man said let me go alone, Don't take Zhang Han with you.
After hanging up the phone, I hurriedly got up to wash my face and brush my teeth, Zhang Han saw me get up and walked to the door of the toilet and asked me what I was going to do in a hurry, I brushed my teeth and said that the old man came to me to say something and gave me something by the way, Zhang Han nodded and asked me if I wanted her to go with me, I shook my head and said no, Zhang Han didn't say anything, I spit out the toothpaste foam in my mouth and said to her that the old man wanted to tell me something about my family, and it was probably not too convenient for her to go, Zhang Han smiled and said that she knew, she didn't care about it.
After coming out of the house, I went to the supermarket to buy two bottles of wine for the old man, and then took a taxi directly to the old man's house, Lin Qiu was at my house that night, I had a stomach of doubts and wanted to ask the old man, but because Zhang Han and Lin Qiu were present, I was embarrassed to ask, and I had to ask clearly when we met today.
After arriving at the old man's house, the old man looked at the wine I was carrying in his hand and was very happy, and praised me for my filial piety, because I had to explain some very important things to me today, the old man specially gave the nanny a day off, so now there are only two of us left in the house, the old man put the wine I brought on the table, and we sat on the sofa in the living room and chatted, the old man said to me straight to the point that since the last accident in the netherworld, the king of the ten halls of Hades has discussed, and plans to send another person to guard the netherworld, The Ten Palaces of Yama unanimously agreed that my grandfather was the best candidate, after all, the old man had guarded the Netherworld for many years before my father.
I asked the old man what the situation was in the netherworld now, and the old man sighed and said that although the people of the Ten Halls of Yama repaired the enchantment that was destroyed last time, and the result of the repair was not bad, the repaired enchantment was too far from the original enchantment, and the Ten Halls of Yama decided to let him go with my father to guard the Netherworld for the sake of the safety of the Netherworld.
After the old man finished speaking, he sighed and said that he should go in a few days, and it is difficult to say how long he will go this time, so there are some things he wants to explain to me, if he has three long and two short in the middle netherworld, what he said today should be regarded as a will.
When the old man said this, his tone was extremely tragic, which made me feel very uncomfortable, the old man looked at me crying and said with a smile that this is just the worst plan, once there is something in the netherworld, the king of the ten halls of Hades will immediately send someone to help, after all, the nether world is the foundation of the yang world and the underworld, and it is impossible for the king of the ten halls of Hades to let the nether world have a little mistake.
When the old man said this, I felt a little at ease, and I asked the old man why the king of the ten halls of Hades did not directly send people to guard the netherworld, but let him and my father guard there all the year round, and the old man said to me after listening to it Because my family's physique is special, only the bloodline of my family is not subject to the prohibition of the netherworld, on the contrary, the men of the ten halls of Hades can only exert less than half of their combat power when they go to the netherworld.
The old man asked me if my father had taken me to the big tree in the netherworld at that time, I nodded and said that I went to see it, and the old man said that the tree was the essence and blood of my Liu family after their death.
After the old man finished speaking, he couldn't help but sigh at the glory of my Liu family back then, and now the only people who can support the scene are my father and the two of them.
The old man said this, I asked him why my uncle didn't go to guard the netherworld, the old man looked at me and said that in fact, my uncle is far more qualified than my father, but because his character is not suitable for guarding the netherworld, to put it bluntly, my uncle's personality is not as calm as my father, I asked the old man if my uncle knows about the affairs of the family and the affairs of the netherworld, the old man shook his head and said that he doesn't know at all, after all, this matter is very important, and if it leaks out, the consequences will be unimaginable.
After the old man finished speaking, he got up from the sofa, walked to the table where the cause and effect clock was placed before, opened the drawer and took out an iron box from the drawer and walked in front of me, after sitting on the sofa, the old man opened the lid of the box, the old man took out three villains and a few yellow charms from the box and handed them to me, I picked up one of the villains and looked at it, the villain seemed to be made of linen, the size of a palm, I didn't feel anything special, but the workmanship of the villain was very rough, I took the villain and asked the old man what this thing was, The old man said that these three villains are all puppets, which are usually useless, but they can save my life at a critical time.
If I had a puppet puppet on my body before, I wouldn't die once, I asked the old man how to use this thing, and the old man said that he could just take it with him, and then the old man talked to me about those yellow runes, the role of these yellow runes is mainly to attack, and the old man said that as long as I encounter something that is not yin and evil, this yellow charm can almost be dealt with.
I picked up a yellow talisman and looked at it, thinking that it was more useful than the puppet at the moment, and it made up for the lack of any attack moves I didn't have.
