Chapter 55: The Merchant of the Hades
Grandma looked at me who was hugged by my mother, sighed leisurely, and shook her head, "It's not that simple, the Zhang family is a murderous house, if there is no person who understands the law, Ermao's soul will be detained forever, let alone find the person Zhou Laoba owes." ”
"Mom! No way! Be enlightened and don't understand anything, find someone else, let the Zhou family find someone else! "My mom hugged me tighter and tighter, and I didn't struggle to straighten the messy hair on her forehead.
"Granny Mo, is there no other way?" Ermao was silent for a moment, he didn't want to drag me down either.
"The ghost house of the Zhang family... Who will go, otherwise, the Zhou family will definitely die..."Grandma said in a low voice.
"We owe a lot to the Zhou family, and the Zhou family is also a world friend with us, and the enlightened and Ermao kid grew up wearing pants on the same day. Xiuzhen, you can't protect your enlightened life, and neither can your father. ”
My mother was still shaking her head desperately, tears streaming down her face, "I don't ask for anything, I just want Kaiming to be an ordinary person, it's enough for him to be an ordinary person... Mom, I beg you, I really beg you, I'm such an enlightened son..."
The Zhou family was silent, and so was the grandmother. Children are all pieces of meat that fall from their mothers, and mothers are always thinking about their children.
I don't have a father, I was raised by my mother. My mom was always strong and never complained about life.
I put my arm on my mother's shoulder, and before I could speak, my mother shouted, "Shut up, I don't allow you, I don't allow you to go on an adventure, come back with me." Brother Zhou, sister-in-law, I'm sorry, your family is kind to our family, and I will repay it by making cattle and horses. ”
My mother pulled me hard, I stood still, and I watched Ermao's house being robbed, I really couldn't do it.
"Let's go! Walk or not! My mom screwed my ears and said, "Let's go!" ”
"Mom—" My eyes were blurry, but I still didn't move.
My mother suddenly knelt on the ground, "I beg you, enlightened, I beg you, don't go, okay." ”
I panicked in my heart, I helped my mother up, Uncle Zhou was depressed, and seemed to be ten years old in an instant, "This is the life of our Zhou family, it's just that..."
"Don't be enlightened, I can do it, the Zhou family has no bad seeds!" Ermao clenched his fist.
"Xiuzhen, let Kaiming choose! When the child grows up, you mother-in-law can't shelter him forever, he should come, he will come. Grandma said.
My mom looked at me with a pleading look in her eyes, and I knew that I was the whole of her life.
"Mom, I'm sorry," I choked.
At this moment, my mother seemed to have withdrawn all the strength of her body, and her eyes were blank.
"Xiuzhen, your dad left a lot of things at home when he left, and I brought them with me, which is why I dared to let Kaiming go. Enlightened is your son, isn't it my grandson? Grandma's words finally woke my mother up, and she nodded with difficulty.
I knew that my mother was uncomfortable, and I swallowed a thousand words in the end, and I didn't say a word again.
Because time waits for no one, we don't dare to delay, and obey my grandmother's instructions, Ermao brought the blood-stained embroidered shoes. And I brought a bag from my grandmother.
"Be enlightened, these are all the things left by your grandfather, there is a bell in it that is your grandfather's baby, the old woman doesn't understand it very well, if you can use it, you can use it, things can be lost, but you have to come back safely."
"Grandma, I know, someone has taught me how to use these things." I said, it's good to learn from Hu Ran, otherwise I will be blind in both eyes, and there should be no problem with the PHS of the unicorn.
"Where's my mom?"
Grandma glanced into the back room, "Your mother... Ay... Hurry up! Otherwise, your mother won't let you go. ”
I didn't have ink, and Ermao immediately embarked on the trip, still the Volkswagen, but the atmosphere was a little dull.
"Enlightened, it's my brother I'm sorry for you! If not..."
"Yes, don't stir up emotions with labor and management, I can't stand it, it's not a brother, it's a brother, you just keep your mouth shut." I cursed.
"Kirin, come, call Uncle!"
"Uncle!"
"! Who's talking? Where did the children come from? "Ermao's steering wheel was not pinched tightly, and the car was bumpy on both sides.
"Nima, hold steady, how do you drive?" It scared me a bit, but this thing is still not stable enough.
Ermao parked the car on the side of the road, turned his head, his face was a little pale, "Just now... What was just that... Something..."
"O my son! Ghost fetus, isn't it super cool? I raised an eyebrow and said, "Hurry up and drive, we don't have that much time." ”
Ermao started the engine after calming down, "This is... You do a color ultrasound photo... That one? ”
"You can fall in love with a female ghost, but I can't conceive a ghost son? But our brothers are really evil. I laughed.
"Baba, Uncle Zhou seems to be very afraid of me!" Kirin laughed.
Ermao was still a little angry, looking in the rearview mirror for a long time, knowing that I was not tricking him, and calmly accepted the facts. I didn't irritate him anymore, I just told him about it.
Taking advantage of this, I opened the bag that my grandmother had given me, and shook out the contents of the bag, and there were a lot of miscellaneous things, mostly rune paper.
Hu Ran said, my grandfather is a Fu Dao master who is not weaker than him, when I went to Zaolin Village, I saw Hu Ran show his hand, and the talisman suppressing ghosts in the sky made me remember it vividly.
"Four red runes, two green runes!" My eyes were slightly dark, and there were a lot of rune papers in it, but there were only six of them. As soon as the green talisman comes out, it can make the ghost king jealous.
With my ability, at most I can stimulate the blue rune, even if I am given a blue rune, I may not be able to use it, and put away the six rune papers. The largest in it was a wooden sword, very stocky, a little heavy in the hand, and there were pale red runes outlined on it.
"A hundred years of peach wood heart, baba, good things!" Kirin said, "This is a weapon to get rid of ghosts. ”
"Yes, yes!" I tied the rope and sword to myself, and after pulling for a while, I found a box of cinnabar, some blank rune paper, and some materials for drawing runes, all of which I used.
Because of the suddenness of the incident, there were only a dozen or so basic yellow talismans on my body, which was enough to set up a small array.
"Jingle bell!" The round bell rolled twice on the seat, which is what my grandmother told me to say that it was my grandfather's baby.
I lifted it, this bell is half the size of my palm, and the round body is engraved with a small seal "town" character, except for the old appearance, there is nothing strange to see.
"Kirin, do you know what it is?"
"It's a bit like the legendary soul bell, the soul is out, and all ghosts are avoided. But it shouldn't be—" Qilin couldn't make up his mind at this moment, "However, this must be a rare treasure, worth more than that hundred-year-old mahogany sword." ”
"But don't use this bell as a last resort, and you may not be able to use it with the power of Baba."
I nodded, tied the bell around my waist, and counted the things my grandmother gave, which can be said to be of great help, plus the help of the unicorn, as long as it is not the ghost king, how can I fight.
When I think of this, I can't help but feel relieved.
"Enlightened, it's here!" Ermao parked the car steadily, and heard that it was parked at one of his relatives' house, which was his cousin.
"Oh, is Ermao here? Your dad called me and said you'd come over, so soon! Yo, you've bought a car! Out of breath! "There is a middle-aged woman walking out of the house, it should be Ermao's aunt.
The real intention of our coming here is not explicitly stated, the ghost house of the Zhang family is a place where people abandon ghosts and hate ghosts.
"Auntie, I'm here for some business, and I'll stay with you with my buddy for a few days."
"Hey! Why are you so polite? We didn't help much when Uncle Eighth passed away, so don't blame us for your father. ”
Aunt Ermao's house is also a small two-story building, and we were placed in a guest room.
"Let's take a look," I whispered.
Ermao said to his aunt and we went out, the ghost house of the Zhang family is famous in this place, with the ghost house as the center, and the radius is barren.
Burnt marks can be seen, and after so many years, the damage caused by the fire has not been healed. The ruins of the wall tell the story of the tragedy that happened that year.
"This is the so-called Zhang family's ghost house?" Ermao stood on tiptoe and glanced at it.
There is a house not far away, charred all over, the main body of the house was spared in that fire, but it is not much better, there is a crooked plaque hanging above the gate, and the word Zhang Fu is still engraved on it. The eerie cold makes people shudder, even though it's summer, it's like being in an ice cellar.
"Baba, this place... The Land of Extreme Shade. Qilin said solemnly.
I didn't have any idea of what the Extreme Yin Land was, and I didn't pay much attention to it, but the next explanation of the Qilin made me feel chills all over my body.
"The land of extreme yin detains people's souls, and the ghost king comes out! Here... It is very likely that there is a ghost king entrenched, and with the geographical advantage, ordinary warlocks dare not provoke..."The unicorn wanted to speak and stopped, and in a few words, he had already explained the danger of this place.
Not to mention anything else, just hearing the word ghost king is daunting.
"Ghost King? Isn't it a powerful ghost? Ermao said blankly.
"This ancient mansion is not small, as the ghost king who guards the underworld, the chance of sleeping is greater, as long as we move smaller, there should be no big risk, and then we are afraid of encountering a group of ghosts to parade, except for these two points, there is nothing to fear in the ghost house." Kirin continued.
These words made me regain a little confidence, the two things that the unicorn said, the chance of us encountering them is still very small! I don't believe that luck can be so bad.
"Baba, it's not early today, you go back and draw two hidden talismans, and go in tomorrow while the sun rises in the east."
Listening to Kirin's proposal, I nodded, I still have to listen to my son's words. For this aspect of things, I am just a beginner, and with the help of the unicorn, I can do a lot less.
"Ermao, let's go back!"
I took a deep look at the ancient mansion of the Zhang family, and normal people in this ghost place won't go in at a glance, but Ermao and I can't go in if we don't get in.
At this moment, I actually caught a glimpse of a figure, hiding behind a locust tree. The locust tree is some years old, and it should have grown here by chance after the fire, but it couldn't cover the person behind it.
I remained silent, and gave Ermao a hint with a look, the two of us were stealing chickens and dogs in the township, and the cooperation was seamless, he naturally knew my intentions, and he didn't make a noise, and took the lead in raising his feet and moving forward.
"Baba, he's coming along."
I don't know how the Kirin looks around me in my stomach, but I think he can watch from all angles.
As we walked, Ermao and I dispersed, and his body flashed into an alley. Because he has relatives here, and it is a neighboring village, we have long been familiar with this place. Fucking dare to follow us, wait for death!
I paused, then turned around, and the sneaky figure quickly found a shelter and hid. I took a few more steps, looking back from time to time, and the guy was round and very agile. But my purpose in doing this is only to help Ermao create opportunities.
When I first came here, I was targeted, and it was still near the haunted house, so it was impossible to say that there was no problem.
Suddenly, I heard a call, Ermao made a move, and I ran back with my feet and rushed to that place.
"You turtle grandson, watch the fight!" Ermao yelled and threw a punch at the fat man.
But the fat man just flashed to the side, and he dodged Ermao's fist, "Don't fight, don't fight, you have something to say... Say it well..."
"Catch him and say it, sneaky, I don't know what to do." I rushed up too.
Ermao and I can be said to have no opponent in ten miles and eight towns, and there is no rule at all, and running up is a mess. It's always me who has taken the road, he has been on the road, and he has tried and tested.
The fat man could hide at first, but gradually he couldn't, and I saw an opportunity and threw him to the ground with a leg sweep. Ermao understood and treated him with his hands to prevent him from getting up.
"Don't fight, don't fight, your own people, your own people!" The fat man yelled.
"Who told you that you were one of your own people, saying, 'What are you doing?' Why are you following us? Ermao said sharply, his fist raised, as long as the fat man on the ground dared to play tricks, this fist would definitely fall firmly, I don't know if he could parry.
"I... I know you're going to enter the Zhang family's ancient mansion... I... I want to go in too, so I'll come up and talk to you... Why are you people so rude? The fat man was crying.
"Baba, this man is a merchant in the underworld!" Qilin said, "I won't forget this familiar breath, it's the merchant of the underworld." ”
"Merchant of the underworld?" I wondered, Xia Zigui said that Zhao Yunhai was a netherworld walker, and now there is a netherworld businessman, is there any connection between the two?
"Mom! Ghost fetus, how dare you raise a ghost fetus? No, it's not a ghost fetus, what the hell is it? The fat man was shocked, talking to himself, and kept struggling on the ground.
"He shouldn't have any malice, these guys can't afford to be early, he is likely to really want to enter the Zhang family's ancient mansion." Kirin Road.
"Ermao, let him go first and see what he says."
"Humph! Be honest! Otherwise, my fist will not recognize people. Ermao snorted coldly and stood aside and waited.
The fat man got up from the ground, he didn't care about the mud on his body, his two little eyes were dripping, and he twisted the mustache on his mouth with his hand.
Wearing a yellow robe, dressed strangely, if you wear a hat, this guy is like the rich man in the TV series, this looks like a god.
"You also want to enter the Zhang family's ghost house? What are you going to do? I said coldly, before I figured out the way to come, this fat man was a character to be guarded against.
