Chapter 9: Going in the Shadow

I don't know how long it took me to wake up, I opened my eyes and found that my location was no longer a city night bar, but a desolate Gobi, and it is not too accurate to say that it is Gobi, because there are still some bare trees around.

Behind me stood two men dressed in ancient trapping costumes, one was a bearded man with a thick beard holding a spear-like weapon in his hand, and the other was a man with a delicate face.

The two of them turned pale, and I waved at them tentatively, but they ignored me, still standing straight behind me.

I felt as if I was carrying something behind my back, my shoulders were a little strained, I touched the back and found that there was a sword on my back, I took a long time to take the sword off from the back, and I found that the sword behind me was officially the paper sword that Zheng Sange handed me after I sat down on the futon, if I calculated it like this, the two people behind should be the two paper people that Zheng Sange put behind me.

The paper sword is no different from an ordinary sword now, dead and heavy, the sword body is glowing green, I put the sword back on my back, I moved my somewhat stiff limbs, looked at the two people behind me, and at this time the faces of the two people gradually became bloody, one of the bearded men blinked first, and then the other man with a beautiful face also blinked, the bearded man saw that I did not have any surprised expression, and said to me with a fist

"Brother Liu, in the next white, it is really a blessing to know Brother Liu"

I blinked and looked at Bai Qi and stammered to him and said hello, I still only have some superficial understanding of Bai Qi.

Bai Qi is a native of Qin because he killed countless people for the unification of the six countries of Qin and was called the god of killing by later generations, I looked at Bai Qi, and then looked at the handsome man next to him, at this time he didn't know where to take out a fan and fan it gently, seeing that I was puzzled, Bai Qi introduced me to me

"Brother Liu, this is my good brother Wang Jian, this time our brothers have taken a lot of care along the way with you to solve the case."

After Bai Qi finished speaking, Wang Jian shook his fan and nodded at me, and Bai Qi waved the spear in his hand and said to me

"Brother Liu, this time the matter is more urgent, let's hurry up and get on the road"

I was inexplicable by what he said, and hurriedly asked him what we were doing on the road, Bai Qi and Wang Jian heard me say this, the two looked at each other and smiled, Bai Qi took out a yellow sheet of paper from his clothes and handed it to me

"Brother Liu, please look, this is what I want to do this time."

I took the yellow table paper and looked at the words written on it, it is obvious that this yellow table paper is the one that Cui Xiaobai wrote in front of the Buddha statue just now, and the things written on it are still not clear to me as a college dropout, but the general meaning can still be understood, the general meaning is that there is a demon in the yang world at present, and I am sent to the underworld with the soul slashing sword and two ghosts to catch this evil ghost.

After reading it, I returned the yellow table paper to Bai Qi, who folded it a few times and stuffed it into his clothes, grinning at me and making a gesture of please.

I felt like I had been driven to the shelves, and I walked forward with two ghosts, and the place where I am now should be what the world often calls the underworld.

How to say, the underworld is not as eerie and terrifying as I imagined, except for the desolate point, there is no terrifying scene, I walked in front, Bai Qi and Wang Jian followed me all the way behind, I asked them how to find the evil ghost, Wang Jian, who has not been very talkative, said to go forward, and when I met the evil ghost, the soul sword on my body will react, after Wang Jian finished speaking, Bai Qi said to me with a big grin, let me have no psychological pressure, this kind of living people go to the underworld to do things for the underworld is definitely a good thing that ordinary people can't ask for, If there is really anything dangerous, the two brothers are not vegetarians, and after speaking, they raised the spear in their hands.

Wang Jian leisurely fanned the fan and nodded to me, looking at the relaxed demeanor of the two of them, my heart was also relieved a lot, and my courage was much stronger, and I strode forward.

Because walking in the underworld is not too physically demanding, and there is no concept of time, I don't know how long I walked, the number of people on the road gradually increased, and the three of us seemed to have walked to a place similar to a market, I asked Bai Qi what kind of place it was and why it was so lively, Bai Qi touched his beard and said that this is Huangquan Town.

Bai Qi said that after the life of the yang world is finally dead, he will be taken away by the ghost, and generally the ghost will stay here to rest and continue to hurry after walking here with these people, and it is obvious that Bai Qi has a good relationship with the people in the town, and someone greets him from time to time.

The town is not big, and after a while, I walked out of the town, and after walking out of the town, it was a desolation, although it didn't take much physical strength to walk, but I was also a little irritable when I walked, I asked Bai Qi where I could find the evil ghost, Bai Qi's answer was the same as Wang Jian, saying that walking near the evil ghost would react to the soul slaying sword.

Both of them said so, I had to walk forward helplessly, and I don't know how long I walked, there was something similar to a thatched house in the distance, because it was a little far away, I didn't see it too clearly, and suddenly I felt the soul slaying sword on my back tremble, and I immediately came to Bai Qi and Wang Jian excitedly

"Two big brothers, my sword has reacted"

Bai Qi stopped, poked his spear on the ground, touched his beard and looked at the thatched hut in the distance, Wang Jian shook his fan and said to Bai Qi

"It seems that we are not far from this evil spirit, and there should be a place for him in front of us."

I untied the Soul Slaying Sword from my back, and found that the Soul Slaying Sword originally emitted a green light and was now surrounded by a thick dark green gas, and the gas was like a dark green python coiled on the sword, and it made a buzzing sound, and it shook my mouth a little numb when I held it in my hand.

Seeing that I took out the sword, Bai Qi and Wang Jian unconsciously took a step back, as if they were very jealous of the soul-slaying sword in my hand, Wang Jian shook his fan and said to me that the origin of the soul-slaying sword in my hand is not ordinary, the dark green breath visible to the naked eye on the sword is condensed by the evil spirit killed by this sword, this sword can kill all the yin spirits in the world, no matter how powerful the yin spirit is, as long as it is touched by this sword, it will be absorbed by this sword to the sword, and it will not be reborn forever.

After listening to Wang Jian, I watched the sword swing into the air a few times in disbelief, and the air seemed to shake with the sword, and Bai Qi said to me with some urging

"Brother Liu, don't waste time here, hurry up to the place where the evil ghosts are placed, kill the evil ghosts, and our brothers can go back to their lives."

At this time, with the Soul Slaying Sword in hand, coupled with the two generals of the Qin Dynasty behind me, I even have a kind of pride in killing gods.

I carried the Soul Slaying Sword and took Bai Qi Wang Scissors and the two went straight to the thatched house, and walked to the thatched house after walking for a long time, and found that the thatched house door was closed, and there seemed to be some magic circle around the thatched house, flashing black light around the thatched house, and the scene was very weird.

The reaction of the Soul Slaying Sword in my hand became stronger and stronger, and the frequency of the vibration was so great that it even broke free from my control.

I looked back at Bai Qi and Wang Jian, Wang Jian nodded, stretched out his hand and waved the fan, the black light around the thatched house disappeared, and Bai Qi said that the array had been broken, and now he could get closer.

I walked to the door of the thatched hut with the soul slaying sword, pushed the door with my hand, the door opened, there was no furnishings in the room, in the center of the room was sitting cross-legged a man wearing a blue dress like a scholar, the scholar closed his eyes surrounded by black gas, and there were two baby-like meat balls floating in front of the scholar.

I was really a little overwhelmed when I saw this strange scene in the house, I looked back at Bai Qi and Wang Jian, Bai Qi took out the yellow sheet of paper that he had just shown me from his clothes, and said to the scholar-like person in the room

"Raise people Wang Chun, because you have killed living beings in the yang world, today the ghosts of the underworld and the messenger of the yang world are hereby arrested with you, you can be guilty"

Bai Qi's voice was very loud, the man named Wang Chun didn't seem to take the three of us seriously, he was still sitting cross-legged on the ground with his eyes closed, a mocking sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, Bai Qi looked a little angry, raised his voice and asked again

"Raise Wang Chun, you are guilty"

Wang Chun still didn't speak, the black qi on Wang Chun's body became thicker and thicker, and the black qi wrapped Wang Chun and the two meat balls in front of him, and finally Wang Chun's figure gradually blurred inside.

Seeing the scene in front of him, Bai Qi and Wang Jian glanced at each other, Wang Jian took a fan and slapped Wang Chun a few times, the black gas on Wang Chun's body seemed to be blown away by a gust of wind, and then Wang Chun suddenly opened his eyes and pointed at the two meat balls, and the two meat balls disappeared instantly.

I looked at everything that happened in front of me in disbelief, the soul slaying sword in my hand now vibrated more than before, and the dark green qi on the sword body actually turned into a rich black, Wang Chun looked at me curiously, and then smiled at me, his fingers moved and the whole person disappeared in place.

After Wang Chun disappeared, my shuriken instantly returned to the appearance I had when I first came to the underworld, and the sword body was not shaking, and Bai Qi and Wang Jian behind me also looked at each other a little incredibly, I suddenly found that there was a symbol left in the place where Wang Chun was sitting just now, and that symbol was exactly the same as the symbol left on the wall at the scene of Weiwei's killing.

When I opened my eyes again, I returned to the room where the Buddha statue was in the city night homecoming bar, and when I opened my eyes, I saw Cui Xiaobai frowning and thinking about something.

Cui Xiaobai saw that I opened the cigarette and nodded at me without speaking, and I was still holding the paper-tied soul slashing sword in my hand.

I looked back, there were still two paper figures standing behind me, Zheng Sange looked at me with a smile, seeing that I woke up and came over to ask me how I felt about walking yin, I smiled bitterly and shook my head, everything I experienced just now was like a dream but everything was so real.

I put the paper sword in my hand aside and wanted to get up from the futon, but I couldn't make it hard, I have never felt so tired, in that advertising slogan, it is to feel that the body is hollowed out, Zheng Sange saw me struggling and thought about it, so he came over and pulled me, I just got up, and immediately after getting up, I felt a whirlwind and almost fell, Zheng Sange helped me, and then stabilized my body, at this time, Cui Xiaobai, who was frowning, opened his mouth and said

"Xiao Liu, you go to rest first, this matter has nothing to do with you"

Third Brother Zheng helped me and asked Cui Xiaobai

"Then Xiaobai, look at this matter......"

Without waiting for Third Brother Zheng to finish speaking, Cui Xiaobai waved his hand at him and interrupted him

"I'll continue to investigate this matter, so don't meddle in this matter."

Brother Zheng heard Cui Xiaobai say this and didn't say anything more nodded and was about to leave, when we walked to the door, Cui Xiaobai stopped me, I looked back at him, he told me to go home and have a good rest, don't think about these things, if there is anything, you can come directly to him.

He smiled at me and turned to look at the statue.

After coming out of the city night homecoming bar that day, Zheng Sange and I didn't talk much, although I had a stomach full of doubts, but I didn't know where to ask, so I simply didn't ask.

The two of us took a taxi back to their respective homes, that day was too tired, never so tired, just as soon as I got into the taxi and reported my home address and fell asleep, when I woke up again it was the taxi driver who woke me up, I saw that I had arrived at the door of my community, I paid the fare and walked home, from the door of the community to my house I felt as if I had exhausted the last trace of strength, I opened the door and saw my mother sitting in the living room watching TV, saw me come back and glanced at me angrily and did not talk to me, I pretended to be okay and said hello to him that I was a little tired today and went back to the house to sleep, my mother was fine today, and didn't chase me into the house to say anything, and after I entered the house, she also turned off the TV and went to sleep in her own room.

I didn't even take off my clothes and fell asleep on the bed, and I didn't wake up until 10 o'clock in the morning the next day, and I probably wouldn't have woken up if I hadn't held back my pee.

Although I slept well, I felt that my body had not recovered much, and I still had some strength, but it was much stronger than yesterday.

When I went to the bathroom to pee, I found that my mother didn't go for a walk today, she was sitting in the living room watching TV and peeling apples, I saw my mother and trotted all the way to the bathroom to pee, and it took 2 minutes to pee.

I washed my face and brushed my teeth, and then I was going back to sleep again, but my mother stopped me and asked me to sit on the sofa, she asked me something, and after I sat on the sofa, my mother picked up the apple she had just peeled and handed it to me for me to eat, and after I took the apple, my mother sighed and said to me

"Alas, you're getting older and more disobedient now"

I knew that my mom didn't go for a walk and stayed at home to criticize me, I bit the apple and didn't speak, and when my mom continued, my mom took out a tissue from the tissue box and wiped her hands and continued

"I told you a few days ago, Zheng Laosan is not a good person, you don't have any good fruit to eat when you contact him, and your father was with Zheng Laosan every day before he disappeared"

I looked at my mom in surprise with the apple in my mouth, and my mom sighed and said to me

"Your mother and I are an orphan, I grew up in an orphanage, and finally grew up and met your father, and finally pulled you up, and your father disappeared after a few days, I am just a son like you, if you have something, you can let me say what to do"

After my mother finished speaking, she covered her face and cried, seeing my mother crying so sadly, I felt uncomfortable, and hurriedly went over to comfort my mother and said that I would listen to her in the future.

My mom wiped her tears from my eyes when she heard me say that

"That's okay, I asked you not to contact Zheng Laosan in the future, can you do it?"

Hearing my mother say this, I immediately lost my confidence, in fact, I didn't contact Zheng Sange to do anything with him, but simply wanted him to use his ability to help me find my father.

To be honest, I haven't lied to my parents since I was a child, after my mother finished speaking, I looked embarrassed, my mother was about to attack my mobile phone rang in my bedroom, I immediately went to the bedroom to answer the phone, really said Cao Cao Cao arrived, the phone was called by Zheng Sange, after the phone was connected, Zheng Sange asked me how I was, I said that there was no discomfort except for being tired, Zheng Sange said a few times and said to me that if I had nothing to do today, I went to the crematorium to find him, and he told me about my father.

I agreed without hesitation, hung up the phone and returned to the living room, my mother was still sobbing in the living room, after seeing me come out, I asked who called me, I said it was a friend, my mother did not ask me who called the topic, my mother wiped her tears and told me about what happened before my father disappeared, my mother said that during that time, in addition to going to the crematorium to find Zheng Sange, my father also went to a bar on Bar Street to find someone, When I heard my mom say this, I immediately realized that 90% of the bar my mom was talking about was the bar I went to yesterday.

My mother suspected that my dad was bewitched by Zheng Sange and went somewhere, and my mother was afraid that I would also be bewitched by him, so I lit a cigarette and told my mother the truth, telling him that I knew Zheng Sange just to ask him about my father's whereabouts.

When my mother heard me say this, her tone softened a bit, and told me that she should know everything in her heart.

I asked my mom how she knew about me going to find Zheng Sange yesterday, and my mom said that when he went back to the store, he found that I wasn't there, so he asked my cousin where I went, and my cousin said he didn't know, but just heard me talk about the crematorium on the phone, and my mom immediately knew that I went to the crematorium to find Zheng Sange.

I just figured out what happened last night, and my mother chatted a few words to make her happy, and then I said that I was going out to find a friend, my mother asked me to go out after eating, and when I saw the breakfast that my mother left for me in the kitchen, my heart immediately swelled with emotion, I almost didn't cry, this is maternal love, no matter how much you make her angry, she will not be really angry with you, and the family will always keep you a mouthful of food.
