Chapter 169: Yin Bait
Seeing Li Huaishan's extremely embarrassed appearance, I was happy on the spot: "What kind of plates do you usually rent to watch?" ”
Li Huaishan was stunned for a moment, then understood what I meant, and hurriedly waved his hand at me: "Don't think about it in that direction, I watched blockbuster movies, but in the first few years, I was relatively poor, and I often paid on credit, and now there are still two plates that have not been returned." ”
I smiled and asked him, "You have such a bad reputation, and the shopkeeper dares to sell your things, isn't he afraid of receiving fake money?" ”
My words seemed to be on Li Huaishan's sore spot, and he didn't want to talk about it anymore, so he pressed my shoulder behind him and shouted, "Hurry up and get down to business." He pushed me through the door.
When I looked into the store just now, the shadow completely covered the counter, and I didn't notice anyone in the store.
But when Li Huaishan pushed me past the counter, someone spoke in the shadow at the corner between the counter and the wall: "Coming?" ”
It was a man's voice, hoarse and heavy.
I looked into the shadows and saw a middle-aged man with a short figure slowly disappearing.
When his face was completely exposed to the air, he immediately gave me a very kind smile.
When someone smiles at you, you often get infected and give them a smile.
But when I saw the smile on the other person's face, I couldn't smile at all, even though the smile was really kind.
His facial features were normal, and he looked the same as most pedestrians on the road, except for those eyes, which shone a faint green light at the intersection of light and darkness.
It's like a slightly reflective cat's eye in the dark.
At that time, Li Huaishan's palm was still on my shoulder, and I felt his palm tremble rapidly.
It seemed that Li Huaishan was frightened by the person in front of him.
I turned sideways, patted Li Huaishan on the back, and said to the middle-aged man standing in front of me, "You are Boss Wei, right?" ”
His eyes immediately widened: "You know me? Hehe, it looks like you've heard the voice on the tape recorder. ”
At this time, Li Huaishan opened his mouth behind me and asked, "Old Wei, why did your eyes become like this?" ”
Boss Wei turned on the lights in the store, and as soon as the light appeared, his eyes immediately became no different from ordinary people.
He smiled at Li Huaishan: "I am a ghost cultivator, and if I have more contact with ghost things, my body will naturally undergo some changes. When you came before, I was afraid of scaring you, so I kept the lights on in the store. But not anymore, hehe, you're not the same as before. ”
Boss Wei's tone when he spoke was particularly peaceful, which made people feel very comfortable after listening to it.
But I can also hear it from his words, when he sold the tape recorder to Li Huaishan, he did know Li Huaishan's identity, and he also knew that I had the opportunity to hear the voice in the tape recorder.
Li Huaishan's mouth was fast, and before I could speak, he asked Boss Wei again: "Do you know my identity?" ”
Boss Wei smiled at him: "Of course I know." Now everyone in the whole industry knows that Yu Fengyu's son has returned to the family for a year and has become the new Yincha, and the assistant next to him is called Li Huaishan, who used to be the head snake in the area of Furniture City. Haha, you used to come to my store to rent discs, but I didn't expect to see you for two years, and you have also changed into a person in the industry. ”
Li Huaishan waved his hand: "Oh, don't laugh at me, I'm all forced." ”
Boss Wei smiled, turned his head and said to me: "More than 20 years ago, the gatekeeper of the old alley was not Wen Haoming, but me. You must want to ask me, why did I borrow Ergou's hand and hand over such a tape recorder to you, right? ”
This is the first time I have met Boss Wei, but he does not give me any strange feeling.
I immediately nodded, smiling at him as I nodded.
I heard him continue: "Originally, I wanted to go directly to the old alley to find you, but some time ago, there was a murder on Yulong Street, so I didn't dare to contact you." I was worried about what to do, so the second dog came to my store. ”
Li Huaishan seemed to be afraid that he would say something bad, so he hurriedly interrupted him: "Why didn't you dare to contact Yu Ruofei when there was a murder on Yulong Street?" ”
Boss Wei explained: "I was kicked out of the old alley because I broke the precepts, and suddenly going to Ruofei at such a juncture will have a very bad impact on him." Hehe, although it has been almost 20 years since that incident, the old family still uses me as a thorn in the side, if I appear at this time, it will be equivalent to giving those old guys eye medicine? ”
Li Huaishan: "What did you do before?" ”
"Can't tell." Boss Wei replied first, and quickly took out a small box from the counter drawer.
When he opened the box, the expression on his face was hesitant, and his hand movements became very stiff.
It took him about five or six minutes to lift the lid completely, and I didn't know what was in the box because the lid was standing high up to block my view.
Until Boss Wei raised his head and said to me: "When Su Yunbin came to Yulong Street, it was probably to find it." ”
As he spoke, he turned the mouth of the box towards me.
The inside of the box contained a lead strip-like thing, about the thickness of a gel pen, and engraved with a slender snake-shaped spell mark.
I have seen the same spell mark in the chrysalis village.
I pointed to the contents of the box and asked Boss Wei, "What is this?" ”
Boss Wei said: "This thing is called Yin Bait, which can be used to feed ghosts, and it can also be used to urge the Netherworld Treasure." ”
The second half of the sentence suddenly made my eyes light up: "Urging the Netherworld Treasure? ”
Boss Wei nodded: "This yin bait was left to me by Feng Yu, according to his meaning, if the world doesn't know the existence of this thing, then I will always be responsible for keeping it." But once someone discovers that the yin bait in the underworld is flowing into the yang world, I must hand it over to the next yin cha as soon as possible. ”
He said as he shoved the box in my direction.
I reached out and slowly reached for the lead-like thing, and Boss Wei seemed reluctant to hand it over, and when the tips of my fingers were about to touch the edge of the box, he suddenly withdrew his hand.
I couldn't help frowning and gave him another inquiring look.
After a moment of hesitation, Boss Wei pushed the box in front of me again, and said, "Take it, this thing doesn't belong to me." ”
I took the bait in my hand, tested its feel, and weighed it.
Whether it is the touch, softness, or density, this thing is very similar to ordinary lead bars, and the yin qi attached to it is no different from the yin qi on the big and small black body.
I carefully looked at the things in my hand, and after a while, I looked up and said to Boss Wei, "Boss Wei, this yin bait is my father'......"
Before I could finish speaking, Boss Wei waved his hand at me and interrupted me: "I know you must have a lot of questions to ask, so I'll help you sort out the matter of the yin bait, and when I finish speaking, you can ask me if you have any questions." ”
I fully agreed with his proposal and immediately nodded.
But he didn't seem to know where to start, and after a moment of dullness, his face became embarrassed.
Bao Youyou and Sha Wenxiao may still be waiting for me at the hotel, I didn't dare to delay for too long, so I took the initiative to pick up the conversation: "Su Yunbin came to Yulong Street for the sake of yin bait?" ”
Boss Wei let out an "oh" and quickly had an idea.
He said that the yin bait was originally a thing of the Su family, and at first the Su family thought it was a good magic weapon, but from the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty to thirty years ago, no Su family could urge it.
During the period, the Su family also said that the yin qi on this thing was extremely pure, and it should be used to domesticate the ghosts.
But the ghost cultivator has always been regarded as an evil demon in the Central Plains, and the Su family did not dare to be an enemy of the entire industry, and finally gave up the idea of selling yin bait.
After the Republic of China, the Su family has been storing the yin bait in their own cellar, because no one can urge this thing, the Su family no longer pays attention to it, and gradually, not only the small characters of the Su family, but even the entire industry has forgotten the existence of the yin bait.
Until twenty-five years ago, the Su family married - my mother married my father, and the Su family was not optimistic about this marriage at that time, and when preparing the dowry for my mother, they just took some third-rate magic weapons from the cellar casually, including the yin bait that was not treated by the Su family.
But the Su family didn't expect that my father would become a yin at the age of twenty-three, and what they didn't expect was that the yin bait turned out to be the key to urging the Netherworld Tongbao.
In the year before I was born, my father had relied on the yin bait and the nether treasure to help the Su family survive a catastrophe, who knew that the Su family did not know how to thank, but threatened that the yin bait was the Su family's thing, my father was able to smoothly urge the nether treasure, the old Su family made great contributions, and even wanted to negotiate conditions with the Yu family, to let my father join the Su family as a son-in-law.
At that time, the people of the Su family said that they must take back the yin bait, if the family does not agree with my father's involvement, then my father will have no yin bait, and he will not be able to urge the netherworld treasure, and there will be no yin difference in the industry.
Boss Wei said that the Su family did this just to want the title of a Yin Clan to enhance their status in the industry.
I can't understand this, I just think that the Su family is very shameless.
Some people said they went to Yunnan, others said they went to Tibet, and some people went to the Yunnan-Tibet region to look for them, but they found no trace of them.
Boss Wei still doesn't know where my parents went back then, and I didn't explain much, just stood silently and listened to him talk about the things of the year.
Boss Wei said, in fact, when my father left Bohai Bay, he didn't plan to do any more yin, so he only took away the Netherworld Treasure, but left the yin bait to Boss Wei for safekeeping. Boss Wei is a ghost cultivator, and the yin qi on the yin bait just helps his cultivation, so he obeyed my father's wishes and left the yin bait by his side. He also admitted frankly that the reason why he was willing to keep the bait was entirely for his own interests.
Back then, in addition to my parents, Boss Wei, Second Master and Tong Heng, only the four elders of the Su family knew about the existence of the bait, and Su Yunbin was one of the insiders.
Before Su Yunbin came to Bohai Bay, Boss Wei heard that he had been looking for a "lead bar" that the old Su family had lost, and to put it bluntly, he was looking for bait.
Later, Su Yunbin came to Bohai Bay, and Boss Wei felt that the situation was not good, so he wanted to go to the old alley to find me, but he didn't expect that on the day he just had this plan, Su Yunbin actually lived in Yulong Street.
It stands to reason that Su Yunbin shouldn't know that the bait is in Boss Wei's hands, but Boss Wei thinks that Su Yunbin must have smelled something and made a special trip to stay in Yulong Street, otherwise he would have no reason to come to this kind of place.
During that time, Boss Wei had been very careful, for fear that Su Yunbin would notice something abnormal, but he didn't expect Su Yunbin to be killed the day after he came to Yulong Street.
