Chapter 3: The Beginning

Zhang Yu is a very punctual person, he got up before the first ray of sunlight hit his face in the morning, as for everything he experienced yesterday, Zhang Yu spent a whole night, and finally thought of a reasonable explanation, that is, Brother Jiu.

The specific situation is the wine that Brother Jiu drinks, the wine itself is something that can anesthetize a person's nerves, Brother Jiu's alcohol is very large, or the frequency of drinking is very high, Zhang Yu remembered the smell he smelled when he just walked into this house, it was wine, in this whole room, the alcohol content is very large, maybe he was already disturbed by the smell when he entered this room.

Too much alcohol can make people hallucinate, this is the most reasonable explanation, then everything I saw yesterday is all hallucinations. Zhang Yu got up early, first of all, he was ready to go out to find a job quickly, and now he can be completely penniless, and his stomach has not come in at all since noon yesterday. But before going out, Zhang Yu decided to clean up properly.

The whole house is very clean, as if it has been cleaned by someone, Zhang Yu remembers very clearly, yesterday he made the whole room very dirty, he didn't pay attention to whether the floor is porcelain or wood, but now, no trace can be seen.

Zhang Yu had taken out a pair of clean shoes from his luggage before going to bed yesterday, and Zhang Yu had washed the previous shoes at night, but who cleaned the floor outside?

Wine brother? Zhang Yu shook his head suddenly, although Brother Jiu said that he lived in the basement, he fell asleep on the sofa in the hall last night, and there were three bottles of wine on the table, one of which was drunk by Zhang Yu.

Since there is no need to clean, Zhang Yu decided to go out to find a job, after all, he is hungry now, but seeing that Brother Jiu was sleeping soundly, and the blanket on his body had fallen to the ground, Zhang Yu went to pick it up, but when he got closer, he found that under the blanket, there was also Brother Jiu's wallet.

The bulging wallet is tempting Zhang Yu to commit crimes, Zhang Yu, who has not eaten for a day and a night, has fallen into hesitation, and drunk people will never know whether they have less money.

In the end, Zhang Yu chose to give up, although he is not the kind of person who has no bottom, but he will not be a saint who will not leave his way behind, but his morality is very expensive, and a mere wallet is like a fool of his own morality, which is simply thinking too much.

In the end, Zhang Yu chose to put the blanket on the ground, covered the wallet, and then went out, but the next scene, Zhang Yu didn't have the chance to see it, the blanket seemed to be pulled by someone, and slowly covered Brother Jiu's body, and Brother Jiu continued his Spring and Autumn dream.

Zhang Yu thinks that his education is not too bad, his appearance is okay, and his body shape is also the most standard, but he has run several companies in a row, but there is no result, so that Zhang Yu also gave up, and it is almost noon to the restaurant, but what should he do.

His eyes swept over the migrant workers who were eating, and finally Zhang Yu had his own choice.

The construction site is Zhang Yu's last choice, there are simply not so many requirements here, Zhang Yu chose to do a day labor, took advantage of the construction site to eat, others finished eating, ate some leftovers, recovered some physical strength, and then worked all afternoon. After recovering his physical strength, his work efficiency naturally went up, and with the effect of long-term fitness together, Zhang Yu earned more than 100 yuan in just half a day.

Zhang Yu, who had been busy all day, finally dragged his tired body back to the villa in Yalan Community, there were still groups of crazy people outside the villa, but Zhang Yu completely ignored these, and after a busy day, he should also rest.

In this way, day after day, a whole week has passed, but Zhang Yu still hasn't been able to move out of the villa, maybe the job is a little too difficult to find, but Zhang Yu has never felt how excessive his requirements are, including food and housing, three thousand a month, he is a bachelor's degree, studying civil engineering, it is said that in this country of high-speed construction, the most lacking is a talent like himself, but no matter where he goes, he hit a wall, and finally Zhang Yu patiently worked in the construction site for a week.

The house is cleaned every day, although I don't know who cleans it, but it will definitely not be Brother Jiu, Brother Jiu said before that his room is a basement, but Brother Jiu falls asleep in the hall every night, every time Zhang Yu goes out, Brother Jiu either sleeps on the sofa, or drinks while watching TV. Zhang Yu doesn't think that Brother Jiu can be diligent enough to clean.

In short, there are quite a lot of mysterious things in this house.

Zhang Yu, who came back early on Sunday, had some cold dishes and liquor in his hands, and was about to find Brother Jiu to have a good drink, but he was surprised to find that Brother Wine was not at home.

Zhang Yu put the wine and food on the table, and was ready to walk around outside, he could be regarded as having lived in the Yalan community for a week, but he didn't know what was going on in this community.

Yalan community is quite large, of course, the location is also the best, near the community, there are middle schools, universities, shopping supermarkets, and Wanda Plaza, no matter how you calculate, such a good location can not be as deserted as now, unless the developer has a hole in his head.

When I finished walking around, I found that there was a group of people outside the house.

A middle-aged man dressed as a Taoist priest is dancing awkwardly outside the house, yes, judging from Zhang Yu's aesthetics, it is an awkward dance, and I don't know if the Taoist priest has a seizure or something, waving an unedged sword in his hand, the whole person is shaking constantly, and there are words in his mouth.

Zhang Yu walked into the crowd, although there are usually many people in the Yalan community, but this time, there are a lot of them.

After the Taoist priest finished reciting the mantra that he didn't know what it was, no one could understand it anyway, so he began to turn in circles, and after several circles in a row, he began to flip in the same place.

"Good!" Zhang Yu immediately began to applaud, but something happened this time, according to Zhang Yu's understanding, like this kind of people who rely on martial arts to eat, they generally perform in places like Tianqiao Square, so this one in front of him should also be, Zhang Yu respects this kind of people, for this kind of people, applauding and shouting is their respect.

"Huh?" A short and fat guy in the crowd made a strange noise, and suddenly everyone looked at Zhang Yu. This short and fat guy seemed to be the head of the group, and everyone began to glare at Zhang Yu angrily.

"Thank you, no, who are you? Why are you sabotaging here? The middle-aged Taoist priest also hugged his fists and began to take a thank-you, but he immediately felt wrong after half of the thanks, and now his identity is a tall magician, not a showman.

"You guys are gathered here, I live here, what do you say I do?"

After Zhang Yu finished saying that he lived here, he immediately became cold, and there were still whispers in the crowd, but now he was completely quiet. The faces of the people in the crowd changed, and Zhang Yu clearly didn't look like a human, but like a god. Fearful and timid. From glaring to awe, in fact, there was only a sentence interval, and those people seemed to be afraid of Zhang Yu's eyes and avoided Zhang Yu's gaze. It's like an elementary school student doing a little action in class and being discovered by the teacher.

Zhang Yu felt as if he had said the wrong thing, so it was necessary to continue, so he walked directly towards the house, the crowd was consciously divided into two halves, a person was like a frightened duck, lowered his neck, for fear that Zhang Yu would beat them, let go of the road, a full three meters wide, this distance, if you want to cross the car, there is no problem.

It wasn't until Zhang Yu closed the door that he heard the sound of relief outside.

Cao Legou's real name is Xue Zengbang, because there is a mantra is to the dog, so that now others call him Cao Legou or Lao Cao, but there are not many people who dare to call Cao Legou, as one of the largest real estate developers in the city, Cao Legou is naturally a group of people living at the top of the food chain, but now, Cao Legou feels how can he be so unlucky, if you want to say how unlucky, it is simply drinking cold water will stuff your teeth.

Yalan Community is a project that Cao Legou began to develop five years ago, and the original intention was to build the largest and best entertainment and leisure community in the city, conform to the national construction, improve the city's grade, and make a little money by the way. Yalan community was just an old city, Cao Legou gathered several major investment companies in the city to spend 400 million, it took five years to finally build the Yalan community, however, it was built, but before the sale was completed, the community had an accident.

In the process of building the community, because it is the development of the old city, there are naturally some disgraceful means, such as uneven land deeds, forced demolition and forced construction, etc.

But to say that this matter is not a big deal, Cao Legou has been fighting in Xijing for decades, relying on fighting, and there are a large number of helpers under his hands, but now it has no effect, if something really happens, it is haunted.

When the trouble was at its worst, all the people under Cao Legou were sent to the hospital, checked one by one, and there was no disease, but they couldn't get out of bed, and they were called haunted. Cao Legou panicked, he had never seen this kind of thing before.

As a local tyrant in the mainland, Cao Legou has never believed in any gods and ghosts, but after several waves of people have been planted in it, Cao Legou has no choice but to issue a reward, as long as anyone can solve the problem of the Yalan community, a reward of one million.

As soon as the bounty order came out, all the cows, ghosts, snakes and gods came out, saying one by one that they had caught some thousand-year-old zombies, killed three fierce ghosts, and could do everything to eliminate demons and subdue demons, but in the end they were defeated in the rotten place of Yalan Community.

If you don't sell the Yalan community, Cao Legou feels that he is going to be finished, at the beginning, those investors, there are many more powerful than themselves, originally said to make money together, but also want to rely on this opportunity to pull into the relationship, now it is like deliberately offending people, now in the city, as long as Cao Legou appears, those top crowds are simply retreating, for fear of getting into Cao Legou's bad luck.

However, everything is over, this time it is the personnel of the National Taoist Association who were invited, Cao Legou has seen it before, and the one-handed heel fight is turned over, it is like a performer under the overpass, but the membership qualification of the Taoist Association can still be found online, although I have been disappointed too many times before, but this time, I have given myself a chance to say anything. If you fail this time, then you will have no choice but to run away.

"Is that the ghost who went in just now? No wonder it's so cold. ”

"It's daylight. Could it be that ghosts can come out during the day? ”

"God bless, God bless."

Cao Legou looked at the group of people behind him, and said one by one that he was bold enough to rob a bank, but now, it was so unbearable, anyway, Cao Legou didn't expect this group of people to help anything. These people were frightened, but fortunately, the Taoist was still very calm, nodding his head, as if he was making a decision.

"It's really a grass dog, Dao Chief, look at this. After the deed is done, I will add another 1 million. Cao Legou decided to make some blood, as long as the Yalan community is fine, he still has a chance to turn over.

"Boss Xue, in fact, I'm just a martial arts practitioner, and I can't solve this matter at all. My Taoist certificate can only prove that I am a Taoist priest, but who is a Taoist priest who can catch ghosts, haven't you seen Jin Yong? Don't you know that Taoist priests are all martial arts? Okay, I can't solve this matter of yours, the ghost who can come out in broad daylight, I feel that you may need a higher level of help, as for me, I can't help. ”

"Don't, at least you dare to come here, those guys before were so grassy that they didn't even dare to get close." Cao Legou didn't dare to let the guy in front of him leave like this, he really didn't know what to do, and he wanted to go ashore after grabbing a little straw.

"Is it dangerous here?" The middle-aged Taoist priest looked at the house in front of him, and his intuition told him that there might be danger, which was a martial artist's own vigilance. But I don't know what's going on, there may be dangers, but it's more likely that I'm thinking too much.

"It's not that dangerous, nothing has happened other than the first accident. So, maybe there are no ghosts, maybe it's a master pretending to be a ghost, master, I really can only rely on you, my whole family is hanging on this project. "Cao Legou knows the combat effectiveness of the Taoist priest in front of him, there is absolutely no such thing as a ghost, at least come here with such fanfare, so I want to let myself watch some noise and then die."

Li Mingqi, the name of this Taoist priest, may also be a person who lives on the food and clothing line, did not answer Boss Xue directly, but sat on the ground next to him, took out a cigarette from his body, and began to light it, but the fire was not lit, and he didn't light it after two or three times, Li Mingqi's hand trembled a little, and finally, Li Mingqi threw the cigarette in his hand to the ground.

"5 million, I can give it a try."

Li Mingqi felt that his voice was a little hoarse, and even a little excessive, the temporary increase in money itself was actually quite bad, but to refuse, it was really a bit too much, in fact, he was like this, it could be regarded as a disguised refusal. After all, the price point that was promised at the beginning was one million, but now it has risen to five times.

"Okay! No problem. Cao Legou is now a grass dog in his heart, although he said yes, maybe the liquid funds are really running out. Fight hard, whether you are dead or alive, let's give a result.

Li Qiming's heart was cold, businessman, there is no one who is stupid, since this guy dares to really throw so much money, there is definitely a problem, then, he seems to have the last trick that the master handed in before, so he can only try.

"Okay, then let's take a good look at what the hell is going on at night, Boss Xue, I want to ascend to the altar, please prepare something for me, I need some paper, incense, and then prepare a rooster, it must be alive, and it is a rooster that has lived for more than three years, prepare a dog, the dog is black, and then give me 50,000 yuan, I need to buy some props locally, finally, Boss Xue, please go to the Qinglong Temple ten kilometers east of the city, and take some incense ashes, this is the most important thing, you must go to get it yourself."

Of course, Cao Legou agreed, and it seems that he is going to do a big job at night.

The time soon came to night, Zhang Yu was already very annoyed at home alone, there was nothing to watch on TV, and I don't know why, it seemed that something was wrong when I watched TV and TV, but Zhang Yu has always been big, anyway, there was no problem when Brother Jiu was there, so it may be that the signal is not good.

As for the other strangeness, it can still be felt more or less, but when you think of the alcohol content in the whole room, then all the explanations can be regarded as hallucinations. Brother Jiu never came back, and Zhang Yu also lay quietly on his bed waiting for Brother Jiu's arrival.

Cao Legou felt that he was so unlucky, and his whole person's IQ seemed to have been fooled, but he really didn't expect that there would be such an operation. Li Mingqi has already run away, in fact, Li Mingqi's master's last trick is to run away, when there is really no way to refuse a thing, and it is inconvenient to leave, then drag it first.

Wait until the evening, although it was Li Mingqi who said it, but after all, life is still important, and some of the things that Cao Legou said casually were all made up temporarily, go to the east of the city to get incense ashes, and take it yourself, in fact, it is very simple, transfer Boss Xue away, then you will have to run away.

At ten o'clock in the evening, Cao Legou was still waiting for Li Mingqi's arrival in Yalan Community, and the phone could still be reached before, Li Mingqi kept saying that he would come immediately, but in the end, the phone was turned off while making a phone call, and Cao Legou realized that this might not be right.

But at this time, Li Mingqi had already taken the train.

Cao Legou looked at the things he bought, dumbfounded, he was simply unlucky, but things can't be bought in vain, Cao Legou finally gritted his teeth and decided to go in and take a look, okay, he should also take a look here, is it really so evil.

So I casually found a few guys who were not afraid of death and began to open the altar.

At the same time, Brother Jiu was also hurrying back slowly.

If there is a most uncomfortable day of the week, it must be the weekend, the weekend is the most unpeaceful day of the week, Monday is heavy work, and the final rest is estimated to not be peaceful, but Zhang Yu is not very calm.

What you can see from the window is that there are many people outside the house, but the number of people is a bit large, even if Zhang Yu is confident in his fists, he is not the kind of person who can fight many people. If I'm not mistaken, those out there are some crazy people. They all had shaved heads, and they all looked like labor prisoners who had just come out of prison.

But soon, Zhang Yu was a little suspicious that he might also need to go to a psychiatric hospital, there are many abnormal things, but most of them are artificially explained, Zhang Yu knows that Hawking is making noise recently to get China to ban receiving signals from outside the universe, but which onion is he, it is estimated that let him come over, and these things in front of him may not be explained.

Cao Legou is already a little abnormal, in fact, in the eyes of others, this group of people is also quite abnormal.

Because there were some monks in Qinglong Temple who followed when the incense ashes were finally taken, Cao Legou ordered his subordinates to all shave their heads, after all, life is at stake, and no one is unwilling to do this this time, so in Zhang Yu's eyes, there is a group of labor prisoners outside.

No one has a charter for the opening of the altar, but I have seen film and television materials in this regard in early Hong Kong movies, and the monks do not know the professional strengths of Taoist priests, and they sit and recite scriptures one by one.

So, when Brother Jiu came back, he saw this way, but Brother Jiu couldn't laugh.

Zhang Yu was in the house this time, and a group of labor prisoners outside surrounded the house, and if Brother Jiu wanted to go home, he had to at least go through the crowd.

Brother Jiu's chicken nest head shape was not so eye-catching, but in the crowd, it was the most special one. But Brother Jiu didn't rush home, just stood behind this group of people and watched quietly, although the time was already more than eleven o'clock in the evening, but no one said that it was illegal to watch the excitement at this time.

Brother Jiu has patience, but Cao Legou doesn't have such patience, and the things that could have been solved at noon have just happened in various situations and have been delayed until now.

"Okay, it's okay, now let's go in, who is that, you go open the door."

However, no one is a fool, the guy who opened the door at this time has not yet existed, Cao Legou's subordinates shirked one by one, that is just the most ordinary door, an anti-theft door, and there is a handle outside the door, this kind of high-end community anti-theft door can only be regarded as a decoration, the most strict door is the gate of the community.

After all, Cao Legou is just a ship that is about to sink, and the subordinates know that it may be a month, maybe a week, or a year or a day, the Yalan community has not been delivered for a long time, no one is stupid, the whole community has rotten its reputation among the city's high-end people, except for the local tyrants from outside the pit, this is a pool of stagnant water.

Although the subordinates have bald heads, their hair can grow, but what about human life?

This is the simplest farce, and the matter is just a simple opening, it stands to reason that it doesn't matter who opens it, but the whole scene can't be carried out coherently at all, but there are still people who are willing to take over the script.

A hand rested lightly on the armrest.

"I'll drive it."

The voice is very soft, but it seems to have endless penetrating power, and at this moment, it has traveled through eternity and spread all over the sea of people. Finally, someone was willing to walk to the door, but Cao Legou's face was very white, and the person in front of him was the source, the source of all this.

Brother Jiu didn't know when he had walked in front of everyone, but before Brother Jiu could turn the handle, the door frame opened by itself. Brother Jiu didn't feel any discomfort, turned his head calmly, smiled at the crowd, and then strode in. And as Brother Jiu stepped into the door, there was another sound of the frame, and the door was automatically closed.

There are too many doors that can open and close automatically in this world, but Cao Legou doesn't think that this is the simplest kind of door that can open and close automatically.

There is always a lot of wind at night in Xijing City, and sometimes it will rain a little, but there has never been wind and rain that will fall so suddenly, Cao Legou's eyes are still seeing the smile of Brother Jiu, even if Brother Jiu has already walked into the door.

When Cao Legou came back to his senses, it seemed that it had been stormy. The rain fell on Cao Legou's body, sliding down the bright brain.

There is no chance anymore, there is no chance at all, if he had known earlier, Cao Legou never thought that Brother Jiu would not be at home, if he had known all this, the matter might have been resolved.

It was just a small problem, but it slowly became impossible to cover up. All this is to blame a year ago. But even if I go back to the beginning again, the original conclusion cannot be regarded as a mistake.

"Rush." Cao Legou decided not to dwell on anything else, if he let this place continue to rot, he would be rotten in the end.

Since no one dared to walk in the front, Cao Legou rushed forward directly, and finally, the courage seemed to return to this group of people, and the so-called danger was no longer terrifying, but the distance of a few steps was like a marathon, and he knew the end, but he couldn't do anything.

But this is just the beginning.

Zhang Yu was still watching from the window, and the group of crazy people outside began to go crazy again, and began to circle around the obviously narrow place.

But it's not a simple circle, no one will be fanatical when going around the circle, and no one will be full of fear when going around the circle.

This is a supernatural power beyond Zhang Yu's imagination, and it seems that the road has been extended infinitely.

Zhang Yu was stunned, and he didn't know how long it took to come back to his senses, but when he turned around, he found that Brother Jiu was sitting in this room.

"Are you scared?"

Brother Jiu turned his back to Zhang Yu, but seemed to see Zhang Yu turn around.

"I don't know." It took Zhang Yu a long time to come up with an answer.

"Aren't people curious about the unknown? Aren't you curious? "Zhang Yu rarely sees Brother Jiu not drinking, but Brother Jiu has always had very few words, and he doesn't speak easily, he only answers when he asks a question, but now.

"I don't understand what the hell is going on, don't confuse me with ridiculous feudal ideas. Also, why do you want to keep me? Zhang Yu paused.

"This is not feudal superstition, this is called the unsolved mystery of science, as for you, it is not that I left you, but here you left, people who can come in have their own stories, I saw what you bought back, since you have wine, are you willing to listen to my story?"
