Chapter 62: Uncle Nine
"That's right! We can let them find it themselves! Look at me I'm confused, or my wife Bing Xue is smart! ”
After listening to Chen Jing's words, I sat up from the bed all of a sudden, and Chen Jing's words can be said to be in a word, pulling my mind out of my limitations. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Hmph, of course! No matter how I say that I am also a special police officer, I still have this kind of thinking. Chen Jing said proudly.
"Count the days, tomorrow is exactly the first seven days of winter, and when he arrives, there will be a ghost to take him home. Without further ado, I'll go to the underworld to say hello to Lord Yama. "After that, I want to go to the underworld with my soul out of my shell.
"It's so late now, do you have to rush it? Didn't you say that Fuyuko won't come home until tomorrow? It's not too late for you to go before they go, and besides, you're disheveled now, what have you become? ”
Hearing Chen Jing say this, I was speechless, as if it made sense, it was really inappropriate to go to the underworld with a bath towel.
Now that things have taken a turn for the better, Chen Jing and I are extremely happy, so excited that we don't sleep in the middle of the night. But I thought that tomorrow night, once Fuyuko's body was found, a vicious battle with the mastermind behind the scenes would begin. So we need to rest well, recharge our batteries and get ready for tomorrow night.
There was nothing to say all night, and by the time I woke up, it was already past nine o'clock, and Chen Jing in my arms was using her mobile phone to contact Wang Yongping. Because since there is action tonight, it is important to prepare for the rainy day before you act.
The practice of opening the altar is definitely inevitable, and the necessary props are still indispensable. The reason why Wang Yongping was called was because he was familiar with the environment of City C, so that Chen Jing and I would not wander around like headless flies, after all, the things used in the practice could not be bought anywhere.
Well, you can find a free porter, why not?
After getting up and tidying up, Chen Jing and I went to a small shop selling breakfast near the community to eat some soup dumplings and porridge, and then we took the bus to the place we agreed with Wang Yongping.
After all, driving a police car is too public, and it is also a bit suspicious of public and private use, so we chose to take a car. There are still relatively few people who take the bus during non-commuting hours on weekdays, and it is not only not crowded but also quite affordable, so it can be regarded as doing its part for the cause of environmental protection.
After learning what I was going to buy, Wang Yongping took me and Chen Jing on the No. 721 bus, and then transferred to the subway, and then to the bus, and I don't know how far I went.
After getting off the bus, I noticed that the buildings around me were obviously different from what I had seen before, the buildings here were vaguely retro style, and a large part of the buildings themselves were made of wood, like the style of the 80s of the last century.
Wang Yongping led us through three alleys, asking passers-by from time to time, and finally stopped in front of a separate house.
The two wooden doors of the house are a bit too old to be described as dilapidated. Two irregular cracks appeared on the wooden door, which was supposed to be a whole, as if it could fall off the door frame at any time. The buckle ring on the door is also rusty, which makes people wonder if it will fall off when they knock on the door.
The only thing that can be seen is the portrait of the door god pasted on the two doors. This portrait of the god is very particular, and it is not posted on Zhang Fei, Qin Qiong and others who are seen in the countryside today, but on it are Shen Di and Yu Lei.
Those who know the inside know that in fact, Shen Tu and Yu Lei are the first door gods. Shen Tu and Yu Lei specialize in ghosts and evil things, and can drive away evil spirits and avoid evil, so they are admired by the world, so they stick the two as door gods on the door to ward off evil spirits.
Moreover, the earliest door gods were not actually paintings, but human figures carved from templates, and the templates were placed on the doors, which were more three-dimensional and could deter ghosts and gods. The wooden planks used to carve the door gods are made of peach wood, which is said to be able to ward off evil spirits and prevent ghosts and gods from approaching, and peach wood is regarded as an evil plant, and the two are matched and powerful.
It's just that later, the objects of people's worship gradually replaced Shen Tu and Yu Lei, so the two gradually became unknown, and only a few people knew about it, and I also learned from the records of the Taoist scriptures.
Not only that, but there is also a gossip mirror hanging above the lintel, and from all the above, it is very likely that the owner of this house is also a cultivator.
On the bench next to the door sat an old man, his gray hair neatly combed. The old man's eyes were very bright, and his face was very ruddy.
The old man was dressed in a long gray horse coat and cloth shoes on his feet, looking like he had come out of the set of the Republic of China.
The old man glanced faintly at us as I looked at him, and then he turned his attention to the smoky tobacco leaves on his pipe.
The tobacco seemed to be wrapped a little tightly, and the old man had some difficulty sucking it, and he pinched the tobacco leaf with his hand until he could easily take a long puff of white smoke. The old man slowly exhaled the smoke, and his face showed an expression of enjoyment.
"This person should be Uncle Nine, and the things you want to buy are estimated to be difficult to buy except for him." Wang Yongping said in a low voice.
"Yongping, how do you know? Do you know this Ninth Uncle? Chen Jing asked curiously.
Not only Chen Jing was curious, but in fact, I also wanted to know, how did Wang Yongping know that what I wanted could be found here.
"Shhh, be quiet, this ninth uncle has a weird temper, don't offend him. In fact, when I was in high school, I heard a roommate say that this roommate and this ninth uncle were fellow villagers, and then something strange happened in their village, five or six young and strong villagers died outside the village, and the death was extremely horrific and weird, and they were all sucked into dried corpses!
This ninth uncle was also young and vigorous at that time, and when he saw this, he asserted that it was a monster, and several villagers were sucked dry. Originally, the villagers were already frightened to the point that they had no owners, and when they heard Uncle Nine say this, they were even more panicked, and finally the village chief called a few villagers to drive Uncle Nine out of the village in order to stabilize people's hearts.
My roommate happened to see Uncle Nine leave the village and quickly returned, lurking in a small forest outside the village. At night, my classmate saw lightning and fire in the grove, and through the firelight, he vaguely saw the figure of Uncle Nine.
The next day, a villager looked at the corpse of a huge python outside the forest, with a crown of flesh on its head and a charred black body, as if it had been burned by electric shock or fire. My classmate told the adults what he saw, but he was still young at the time, so naturally no one believed him. Later, the police came and didn't find out why, and finally had to convict the python as the culprit, and the matter was over.
It was also the day when we had dinner and drinks in the dormitory, and everyone had nothing to talk about the magical legend of their hometown, and my classmate said it. A few days ago, when I was sorting out the file, I actually turned to this old case, which had the transcript of this ninth uncle, and I found it here. Wang Yongping cautiously looked at Uncle Jiu and found that the other party was still focusing on the tobacco leaves, so he said cautiously.
If Wang Yongping's classmates were not mistaken, then the old man in front of him was definitely a profound cultivator. Because once a snake grows a flesh crown on its head, it is not far from the dragon, and the success of the snake dragon is like a person becoming an immortal, so it is impossible for a snake to grow a flesh crown without a few hundred years of Taoism. When the old man was young, he was able to kill the snake essence that grew a fleshy crown with the power of one person, which was enough to prove that his cultivation was terrifying.
But according to this, the old man should be famous in the monastic world, why did he live in a village and be driven out by the villagers. However, if this mysterious Ninth Uncle is really a cultivator, then these things I want can be found here.
"Old man, do you have any of these things to sell here?" I stepped forward and handed Uncle Nine a list of things I wanted to buy.
Since this mysterious ninth uncle is doing business with the door open, he shouldn't turn customers away.
After hearing this, Uncle Nine first glanced at the three of us, and then indifferently took the list from my hand.
"Yes, come with me." Uncle Nine said in a deep voice after reviewing the contents of the list.
He tapped his pipe on the lap of the wooden bench, clearing out the almost burned tobacco leaves, and then slowly got up. Uncle Nine held the pipe horizontally on his back with his left hand, and looked at it while walking with the list in his right hand.
The room was a little dim and a little congested, so I asked Chen Jing and Wang Yongping to wait for me outside. Several large wooden shelves occupy almost the entire room, and various tools are placed on the wooden shelves.
There are many things I have seen and used, such as mahogany swords, compasses, ancient money swords, and cinnabar for drawing talismans. There are still some things I haven't seen, and that's not surprising.
"You're buying these things to open the altar?" Uncle Nine asked as he searched for the items on his list from his wooden shelf full of things.
"Yes!" I nodded.
"If you can use these things, at least you can draw purple charms, right? It is really rare to be able to have such cultivation at such a young age. Uncle Nine exclaimed.
"The old man is serious, the younger generation is just a fluke."
"If you think you can be invincible in the world, you are very wrong!" Uncle Nine changed his words and suddenly said with a serious face.
"Why did the old man say this, although the younger generation is stupid, he still understands the truth outside the sky." I said to Uncle Nine for a Taoist junior.
"In that case, you'd better get out of this place at once!" Uncle Nine stopped what he was doing and said.
"Why?" I was puzzled.
"You will go through seven calamities in your life, and if you take one wrong step, you will never recover. The first calamity was when you were born, and the second calamity was when you were thirteen years old. Now that your Heavenly Spirit Cover is shrouded in a cloud of black gas, it is a sign that your third calamity is coming! And it's even more sinister than the previous two! ”
"Is there a way to crack it?"
After listening to Uncle Nine's words, I was instantly shocked, because he was all right! Isn't this first calamity a curse on me, the second calamity is that my life is about to come to an end, and both calamities were resolved by the old man who took me into the cultivation world to help me! And he seems to mean something, it should be for me to give up tonight's action. So I didn't have any doubts, and subconsciously wanted to know the way to crack it from him.
"There's no solution, but if you get out of here right away, there may be a chance of survival!" Uncle Nine said very seriously.
"But in this way, we can't find the black hand behind the manipulation of the corpse! Tonight is our last chance! ”
"The cycle of cause and effect, they will pay for what they do, why should you be persistent?" Uncle Nine sighed and said.
"Then why did you insist on getting rid of the snake spirit alone?"
After hearing this, Uncle Nine glanced at me and did not speak.
"Actually, I'm not a great person, what do I want to do for the people in the world, I just want to protect the people around me, that's all. If it's hard to do even that, what's the use of me cultivating this body? ”
Uncle Nine was still looking at me, his eyes flickering, as if he was surprised that I was not so old that he could say this, and it was a long time before he said a word.
"Then you can do it yourself, a total of 314 pieces 9."
