Chapter 24: Famine in Hades?
Lin Zheng had already searched the house carefully just now, and there were no living creatures except rats and cockroaches, so who was talking now?
Who else could it be but a ghost?
Suddenly, Lin Zheng felt a little creepy, and the whole person bounced up from the chair, but Lin Zheng thought about it, it's just a ghost?
Afraid of what?
Uncle, it's not the first time I've seen a ghost!
Besides, what Lin Zheng is waiting for is the appearance of ghosts, after all, he can see ghosts, communicate with ghosts, and cook things for ghosts to eat, ghosts can't eat themselves without saying a word.
And since it's a ghost, it must also be a ghost from Fengmen Village, so maybe you know where there is wheat!
Thinking of this, Lin Zheng sat down again, and at this time, an extremely uncomfortable voice sounded again: "Young man, what's the matter?" Why are you pressing me again?? ”
This ghost is probably also a little confused, the first time I saw such a calm young man, he was not afraid of ghosts.
Has the world changed now?
It doesn't make sense......
"Who? Who's talking? Sneaky, come out quickly! Lin shouted into the empty room.
"Young ......"
This voice made Lin Zheng feel strange and uncomfortable in his heart, and Lin Zheng couldn't help but complain: "Your sister...... It's a human or a ghost, come out quickly, I have something to talk to you about! ”
"Young man..... you ......"
"What are you, uncle, can you come out and speak, I'm talking to the air like a psychopath, I feel panicked." Lin Zheng said.
"Young people! You're holding me down! How do I get up! ”
The voice sounded as if it was trying to suppress the anger.
Lin Zheng immediately stood up embarrassedly, scratched his head and looked at the Taishi chair that was still swaying, and said with some apologies: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry......"
I saw that on the originally empty Taishi chair, a skinny old man with a mask gradually appeared, this is the ghost who said that Lin Zheng was pressing himself before.
"Are you really a ghost?" Seeing that the old man was so thin that he didn't look like a "ghost", Lin Zheng couldn't help but ask.
"Or else? You are? The old man asked rhetorically.
Lin Zheng scratched his head again and said, "What's the matter, why do you ghosts suffer more than one another, and there is a famine in the underworld?" ”
The old man rolled his eyes when he heard this, but he was wearing a mask, and Lin Zheng naturally couldn't see it. The old man was also a little puzzled in his heart, he had never seen a bold man, but he had never seen someone like Lin Zheng who was not afraid of ghosts......
This made the old man who originally planned to suck Lin Zheng's "essence" have to give up quietly.
Because if Lin Zheng didn't feel scared in his heart, if he didn't have the emotion of fear, the old man would not be able to absorb Lin Zheng's "essence".
I don't know why, when the old man saw Lin Zheng's fearless expression, he felt a little angry in his heart, and couldn't help but say: "You hairy boy, you are very arrogant, don't you know that Fengmen Village is an ominous place, and you dare to spend the night here?" ”
Hearing the old man's question, Lin Zheng suddenly showed a bitter look and said, "Do you think I want to spend the night in this ghost place......
"Ghost place? Fengmen Village is a veritable 'ghost' place. The old man suddenly said, "Young man, do you know how many souls there are in this Fengmen Village?" ”
Lin Zheng naturally didn't know, so he shook his head.
Seeing this, the old man said: "Not counting the reincarnated souls, there are more than 30 large and small evil ghosts in Fengmen Village. ”
"Do you know that few living people have come to Fengmen Village over the years, we ghosts, I don't know how long we have been hungry and haven't sucked the 'essence' of living people, you are quite bold as a young man. Don't you know that we ghosts, even if one person sucks a mouthful of your 'essence', it is enough to kill you? ”
After Lin Zheng heard the words and thought about it, he knew that this "old ghost" was scaring himself.
Although there have been supernatural incidents in Fengmen Village over the years, no one has been killed, and Lin Zheng believes that since there are ghosts in this world, there must be rules to bind ghosts, otherwise wouldn't this world be chaotic?
There will definitely be such a thing as ghosts killing people, even in the yang world, there are outlaws, let alone ghosts?
But certainly not every ghost dares to hurt people's lives.
This is Lin Zheng's reason for fearlessness.
At the same time, Lin Zheng's other hole card is his identity as a "yin kitchen".
It's okay to be hungry, you don't have to suck the "essence" of a living person, I don't know how to cook!
Lin Zheng believes that if there is a choice, these ghosts will definitely not choose to suck the "essence" of living people, after all, it is a "raw material" that has not undergone any processing, and the taste will definitely not be good.
"Old man, I understand the truth, don't scare me, I, Lin Zheng, have seen more ghosts in the past few days than in the first half of my life combined, so it's no longer strange." Lin Zheng said with a smile.
"Since you're not afraid of ghosts, you're definitely not here to pursue excitement, so why are you here?" The old man couldn't help but feel a little curious about Lin Zheng.
Lin Zheng thought for a moment and said, "Old man, I don't know if you have heard of the profession of 'Yin Cook'?" ”
"'Shadow Kitchen'? What the hell, haven't heard of it! ”
Lin Zheng pursed his lips when he heard this, thinking that he would just rob me of my mantra, but he was still an old and young ghost......
"Let me tell you this, what about my profession, after all, it is special, it is what I cook, living people will have trouble if they eat it, only all kinds of lonely souls and wild ghosts can eat it......"
Immediately, Lin Zheng patiently explained to the "old ghost" the special profession of "Yin Kitchen" and his purpose for coming to Fengmen Village.
"Young man, are you sure we can eat what you cook?" The old man looked at Lin Zheng and wanted to see something from Lin Zheng's face.
Lin Zheng shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly: "Of course, what am I lying to you for, that is, I don't have any ingredients around me now, otherwise in line with the tradition of respecting the old and loving the young, I will make a bunch of delicacies for you to eat in minutes!" ”
"That's what you said! You wait, if I find out that you lied to me, I'm just fighting...... Suck up all your essence too! The old man's voice suddenly became extremely gloomy, making Lin Zheng couldn't help but shudder, and when he came back to his senses, where was the ghost of the old man......
"It looks like there is not a lot of meat on the body, but you can run so fast, is it a rabbit?"
Lin Zheng didn't know why the "old ghost" went, but directly told Lin Zheng that it was best for him to wait here for a while, so Lin Zheng simply patiently sat on the Taishi chair again.
In less than a few minutes, the "old ghost" appeared again, and Lin Zheng, who was looking at the "dove occupying the magpie's nest", said with some displeasure: "You come with me." ”
"Where?" Lin Zheng asked.
"Go give us something to eat."
