Chapter Twenty-Three: Black Alley
The third master asked me on the side: "How is it, do you feel anything?" ”
I nodded: "My heart is very quiet." ”
"What about peace of mind? Anything else? ”
I pointed to a nearby wooden cabinet: "I saw a mist of light coming out of the cabinet, but the fog looked like it was not real. ”
"That's right," said the third master, "The fog you see is actually the spiritual charm emanating from the antiquities. Things like Lingyun, Qi (Qi) Field, and Mental Power are inherently ethereal, and the way they appear in front of your eyes is often faint. By the way, this one is for you too. ”
As he spoke, he took out a string of money from his pocket.
A black thread, wearing five gossip coins on it, but these gossip coins are different from what I have seen before, all of them are all black, and under the light, they also reflect a gentle luster.
"These five gossip coins are specially used to set up a formation." The third master stuffed the money string into my hand and said to me: "I'll pass you five buckets of rice another day, and then you will know how to use the gossip money." But for now, you don't have the mental power, you can't make a formation, if you really encounter a powerful ghost tonight, just hold this copper coin in your hand, it can save your life. ”
I was very calm at the time, and even though he mentioned the ghost asking for his life, I didn't take it seriously.
Then he took out a very thin knife from the cabinet in the middle of the room, and it was similar in shape and size to a scalpel, except that it was carved with lines that I could not read, and when the light illuminated it, the stripes reflected a faint blue light.
The third master said that this scalpel-like thing is called "梼 (peach) tooth", there are two in total, one is in the hands of the second master, and this one is left for me now.
However, he didn't say how to use the teeth, but just said that when I went out on a mission tonight, if I felt cold all over my body for no reason, I would quickly use the gossip song to stabilize my mind, and then quickly take out the teeth.
At the same time, he also instructed me not to take out the teeth lightly unless I felt a chill all over my body, and said that once I sacrificed the teeth, I might be scared away.
When I asked him what he meant by "that thing", he just smiled at me meaningfully but wouldn't explain.
In fact, even if he doesn't explain, I can vaguely guess the answer.
Seeing that I had put away my teeth, the third master said that he still had some things to deal with, and then left in a panic.
But I didn't have to wait long before he called me again, telling me not to train today, to rest and recuperate, and at the same time he told me that after tonight, I would officially enter the industry.
At first, I only remembered that I entered the industry in the early autumn of 2006, but I forgot the specific day when I entered the industry, and it is only now that I remember that the day I entered the industry was exactly the 15th day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar in 2006, the Midyear Festival.
Since I didn't train, I simply went back to the rental house, packed up my clothes, mobile phone charger, and some other messy daily necessities, threw away what should be thrown away, and all the usable ones were sealed and packed up, and brought back to my family.
I don't know how long I'll have to stay at my house, so I'm prepared to bring my own belongings.
And when I passed by the furniture city, I met Zhang Jianbao and Liu Xiaohui, the two enemies, and the guy who took them to my house and knocked on the door that night was also there, but the three of them didn't recognize me, Liu Xiaohui and I passed by, and glanced at me, but it was only a glance.
After practicing with the second master for a month, although my height has not changed, but the figure is thicker than before several times, the third master also said, in the past I was relatively thin, after practicing for so many years, I can only say that the physique is strong, and now the tough has become strong, from a distance, it is a shrunken version of the little second master.
Of course, my muscle dimension is far less exaggerated than that of the second master, and it only looks stronger than ordinary people, and the muscle separation is higher.
But anyway, my figure has changed very much, no, not only my figure, but also my complexion and temperament are very different from the past, so that Liu Xiaohui They obviously saw me but couldn't recognize it.
I wasn't going to deal with them anyway, they didn't recognize me as I did what I wanted.
The second and third masters kept saying that they would let me go on a mission, but they didn't even tell me the location of the mission so far.
Seriously, I didn't want to go at all, especially when I remembered that the third master had mentioned the word "terrible ghost" several times, I was a little scared in my heart.
Ever since I saw Sun Chuansheng's feat of ghosts in Mabutun Town, I didn't want these things to be involved at all.
Seeing that the time passed little by little, and the hour hand of the wall clock had gone between six and seven o'clock, I thought that the third master might have forgotten to tell me the location of the task, and he still hadn't remembered this stubble, and I couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief.
But as soon as I had such an idea, Wang Lei came.
Sun Chuansheng told me before that Wang Lei is a registered disciple of Dong Dong, but in fact, this kind of speech is not accurate, he is the only foreign servant of the old family, and he is also the confidant of the second master.
Listening to the second master, Wang Lei was forcibly stripped of his entire human skin when he was a teenager, and he was refined into a Shura, and it was the second master's old punch that broke up the anger on his body and made him regain his senses. After that, Wang Lei underwent hundreds of major surgeries in the secret base in Shunan, and finally saved a small life.
Although his life was saved, Wang Lei's physical function could not be restored to normal level, his strength was very large, but his cardiopulmonary function was very poor, and the temperature of his internal organs was too high, so he had been taking a lot of herbs to maintain his life all these years.
As for what Shura is and what the secret base in Shunan does, I couldn't explain these two questions at the time, because the second master only mentioned these two terms, but did not make any necessary explanations.
There's no way, that's what he says, no head or tail, and after a month of getting along, I'm used to it.
As soon as I saw Wang Lei, I knew that it was not good, and sure enough, as soon as he entered the door, he handed me a document bag, and a few words were written crookedly on the front of the bag: task details.
After that, he pulled out another latex ring from his pocket and put it over his lips.
This seemingly very cheap thing is his special sounder, only with this thing, he can speak normally, but because he wears a latex ring, his lips are always closed, so when he speaks, he always spits and stars fly around.
I deliberately kept my distance from him and pulled out two photos from my file bag.
And apart from these two photos, the bag was empty.
Both photos are black and white, the definition is very low, and I can only see that there is a copper coin in the very middle of the frame, and everything around the copper coin is blurry, and I don't know what it is.
In the first photo, I saw that the square hole of the copper coin was engraved with four words: Netherworld Tongbao, and in the other photo, the back of the copper coin was taken, and I saw that the square hole was engraved around the four hexagrams of "Kun, Xun, Li, and Dui".
I asked Wang Lei: "This is the copper coin that Xiaohui and her second uncle got back?" ”
Wang Lei: "Who is Xiaohui?" ”
As soon as he opened his mouth, his mouth was full of spittle, and I quickly staggered his position, rearranged the wording, and said to him: "I mean, this ancient coin in the photo is our goal, right?" ”
Wang Lei corrected me: "It's not our goal, it's your goal." You pack your things and go now. ”
With a hint of luck, I asked him, "Where are you going?" ”
Wang Lei responded briefly: "Shinan District, I'll drive you over." After saying that, he went out like a gust of wind.
It seems that the second master told him the location of the mission early in the morning, alas, looking at Wang Lei's back, the little luck in my heart was annihilated at once.
I had no choice but to take out my backpack and put all the things that the third master gave me, and then followed Wang Lei out of the yard.
His little Alto stopped at the mouth of the alley early in the morning, so I didn't have a chance to breathe, and I got out of the hospital and got in the car directly.
The car first passed through the bustling city center, and then drove all the way to Shinan District.
In this city, Shixi District and Shinan District are the two oldest administrative districts, and in 06 years, both places have a large number of old houses built before the 80s of the last century, and my destination this time is the same as the ghost skewers, which is a huge area of old bungalows.
When Wang Lei drove the car to the entrance of the alley, it was almost eight o'clock in the evening.
The sky was almost completely dark, and the night sky was tinged with an uncomfortable blue-black.
Wang Lei glanced into the alley, put on a latex ring, and said to me: "Go straight along the alley, turn left at the second intersection, and the innermost house is Zhao Guang'an's residence." ”
It was only after hearing him say this that I learned that Xiaohui's second uncle is called Zhao Guangan.
I glanced into the alley, there was not even a street lamp in this place, and the courtyard walls of every house were more than three meters away, and the light in the house could not be seen, so that the whole alley was shrouded in darkness.
Seeing that I didn't get out of the car for a long time, Wang Lei urged me on the side: "You hurry up, we have to go back before eleven o'clock." ”
At eleven o'clock in the evening, it was the curfew time of the old couple's house, and after this point, Wang Lei and I would not be able to enter the ghost strings.
But as soon as I saw the black alley, I panicked and didn't dare to get out of the car.
Wang Lei pushed me: "Hurry up, I'm waiting for you here." ”
Hearing him say this, my heart was even more bottomless: "Aren't you going with me?" ”
Wang Lei: "This is the task assigned to you by the second master, and you can complete it independently." ”
After saying that, he reached out and pushed open the door on my side, unbuckled my seat belt, and kicked me out of the car: "Be quick!" ”
This guy was so strong that he kicked me out more than two meters with one kick, and by the time I got up from the ground, he was already driving away.
Didn't you say that you were waiting for me here, why did you leave again?
I watched Wang Lei drive the car onto the road, and then looked back at the dark alley.
Coincidentally, just as I was thinking about whether to go in or not, a man and a woman quarreled in the courtyard next to the alley.
It was supposed to be a very fierce quarrel between a young couple, but because they spoke with a foreign accent, I couldn't understand what they were saying.
There was a sound in the alley, and there was more anger, and I was not as scared as I was just now, so I took a deep breath, calmed my mind a little, and then entered the alley.
