Chapter 33: The Lamp Man

I looked back and saw a middle-aged man standing at the crematorium gate smiling at me.

I pulled Lao Song with my hand and called him, "Let's go, leave him alone, just don't bother us, now that the body has been found, there is nothing wrong with us." ”

I haven't had a good rest for almost two days and two nights, and for me, who usually goes to bed early at 10 o'clock, I almost dropped my bowl on the floor at noon. I can't stay up now, so let's go back and sleep for a day and a night.

I went back to sleep groggily, and when I woke up, it was still dark outside, it was already past four o'clock in the evening, I slept very little, sat up, took a can of beer from the refrigerator, and updated my diary in front of the computer--- crime dealer.

Time flies quickly, you feel like a long time ago, in fact, it has just passed, yesterday I was chatting with Liu Yue (Lu Na) in bed, and today I have erased the last trace of the world.

I got up in the morning and had a breakfast with Lao Song at the breakfast stall downstairs. Recently, I have been in a state of nervous tension every day, and only when I drink soy milk in the cool breeze can I feel the peace of life.

"Brother Chen, what is this lamp man, have you checked it out?" Lao Song's mouth was stuffed with fritters and he said vaguely.

"I'm not a search engine, so I found out when I asked, and I also checked the Internet for a long time without any results."

"This kind of thing should have disappeared a long time ago."

What Lao Song asked is exactly what I want to ask these days, what is this lamp man?

WeChat asked Gao Yimu, but he didn't know, but urged me to quickly mail him the green oil lamp. I didn't feel at ease with this express, so I told him that I would drive him over, and the money would still be divided into accounts. It's been 10 days and a half months since I came out, it's time to go back and see, my little cat demon is still fostered in Jiang Bing's house. Jiang Bing may raise sheep, and I don't know if he will raise a cat or a kitten demon.

Gao Yimu was waiting for us at the highway early in the morning, and when he got into the car, he didn't say a word of nonsense, and gave us the address and let us rush over.

Driving into a villa area, Gao Yimu entered a courtyard with a green oil lamp, and I waited for him with Lao Song to eat chicken in the car.

About an hour later, Gao Yimu walked out with a bag.

"Hey, how much money did Gao Yimu deceive people again."

"Lie to me, Lao Tzu was cheated, so he sold it for 50,000 yuan, gave a bottle of whiskey that is said to be made in Europe, and found a place to drink it at night."

"You Gao Yimu can still be deceived, I took three and a half pieces of money from the bag and threw it to Lao Song Yiyu."

"Brother Chen, you drive for a while, I'll finish this game."

"Gao Yimu, you have been deceived a few times, why did you still write about the Hedong Province Whisky Distillery." Old Song pointed to the Chinese on the label and read it word by word.

We drove to Lao Yu's noodle restaurant, ready to have a drink with Lao Yu, and by the way, inquire about the lamp man.

The four of them gathered around the barbecue table and drank whiskey over the meat skewers.

"Hey, Gao Yimu, your wine is too unpleasant."

"You know the, can you drink it without adding ice?"

"Lao Yu doesn't have any ice cubes here, Gao Yimu."

Gao Yimu patted Lao Song, "Lao Song went buy some orange-flavored popsicles for children and drank them in wine." ”

One person drank less than one glass, and everyone agreed that it was better to change beer.

After three rounds of drinking, I asked.

"Gao Yimu, Lao Yu, you two are well-informed, what the hell is this lamp man."

"I've only heard of the lamp man, I haven't seen it, and when I arrived in the Republic of China, there was basically no news about the lamp man, and the lamp man was originally the person who held the lamp and lit the lamp in the palace." Lao Yu said.

The palace is full of palace secrets, and the eunuchs in charge of the lanterns in the palace are also in charge. It is divided into three kinds of lights, lanterns, and palm lamps, and two people each, and the head of the pavilion lamp and candle. The eunuchs were subjected to rotten punishment (also known as palace punishment), and physical castration often led to psychological perversion.

The lamp man was flourished from the Ming Dynasty, since the great eunuch Wei Zhongxian was castrated into the palace, starting from the lamp man, during his tenure, he studied the palace secret art and created the original lamp man secret art. In the first year of Taichang (1620 AD), Zhu Youxiao ascended the throne and was Xizong. , promoted to the eunuch and admiral of the celebrant Bingpen. He conspired with ministers to help, and favored Emperor Xizong with the sound of dogs and horses. In 1623, he took charge of the East Factory. In order to eliminate dissidents, Wei Zhongxian formed a wide alliance with his henchmen and ordered the eagle dogs of Dongchang to practice the secret art of creating their own lanterns.

The lamp man uses the lamp as a weapon, the immortal candle continues his life, the green oil lamp hallucinates everyone, and the red light of the palace kills people invisibly. There is a group of lamp people as arms, Wei Zhongxian is powerful all over the world, called "nine thousand years old". At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the four strange cases that occurred in the court: the Attack Case, the Red Pill Case, the Palace Removal Case, and the Demon Book Case all involved the lamp people, and Wei Zhongxian used these events to fight the Donglin Party.

After the Republic of China, Pu Yi abdicated, and the lamp people were all driven out of the palace, relying on secret techniques to do some work to drive out corpses, invert fights, and marry yin. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the lamp people also grew old and disappeared in the long river of history.

"In ancient times, people could not live without lamps and candles, and as long as the lamp people lit the homemade lamp oil and candles, they had no power to fight back against convenience. Nowadays, electricity is developed, and candles, oil lamps, and lamps are rarely used, and there is no room for lamp people. ”

"The lamp man takes the lamp as his life, uses the lamp as a weapon, and when the lamp is extinguished, he is like an ordinary person, unable to perform secret arts." Lao Yu finished telling the story of the lamp man, and we drank most of the wine.

Only Gao Yimu beat his chest and regretted that he didn't sell the oil lamp for more money.

"Chen Ke, you guys will go, take me with you." Gao Yimu patted me on the shoulder.

"How dangerous the lamp man is, I'll go with you, and I'll deal with him for you. After the deed is done, his lamp will be mine, and I will not want anything else. Gao Yimu was spinning fast and began to think about how to get the money back.

"Gao Yimu, then you kidnapped him directly, staring at him every day to make lights for you, sell one for one, and then do an e-commerce business." I waved my hand to go to the bathroom.

Gao Yimu got up and chased after me, "Yes, Chen Ke, why are you so smart, how about we make an O2O oil lamp together?" ”

I didn't take care of Gao Yimu, I went back to my rented one-bedroom room with Lao Song to sleep, I think I haven't lived in it for two months, and I didn't have time to close the window when I left, it was covered with dust. I could only make up for the night, and I touched the blood ring on my hand, if it weren't for it, I wouldn't be able to walk the road of a criminal goods dealer.

Just as Lao Song and I were lying in bed and preparing to rest early, we would drive to Saibei tomorrow to see Jiang Bing and my Ah Liang.

"Di~Di~Di~Di" The corridor sounded an unlocking sound, my door was a four-digit password, and with a click, the door was opened again......
