Chapter 81: Losing the Body

I ran to the high platform with Liang Houzai, only to find that there was no ladder or anything under the platform that was more than one person high, so I could only climb up with my bare hands, this place seemed to have been cleaned for a while, and a thin layer of dust fell on the countertop, I used eight steps of Shenxing footwork to rush up to the high platform in three steps, because the third step was too big and accidentally fell and rubbed a body of dust.

Liang Houzai helped me up, and the two of us went into the hut together.

Originally, I thought to myself that this room was probably a small warehouse for storing merchant goods, but when I entered it, I found that there was only a table and a chair in this room, and there was a new-looking bamboo slip on the table.

Anyway, there is nothing else in the house, and this bamboo slip should be a golden scroll.

I picked up the bamboo slips and turned them upside down, it was very light, and I saw two long slips of paper pasted on the bamboo slips, each with the word "seal" written on it.

My first instinct was to open the seal and see what was written in the bamboo slip.

As soon as my fingers touched the edge of the seal, Liang Houzai quickly grabbed my wrist, pointed to the two seals and said to me, "Brother Dao, don't open it." Grandpa Chai put a seal on it, but he didn't want people to open it. ”

I thought about it, in case Master didn't plan to let me see the contents of it, and found that the seal was opened by me, I would be punished for copying the Tao Te Ching...... Forget it, don't watch it if you don't watch it.

After that, I locked the door and went to my master with a bamboo slip.

Like last time, He Lao Ghost only saw the doorman who was guarding the right line, and I entered the store, but Liang Houzai was blocked out.

When I entered the shop, Master was still standing in the middle of the room with his hands behind his back, and Old Ghost He was leaning on the couch with a nervous expression.

When I handed the bamboo slip to my master, he really looked at the seal on it very carefully, and then handed the bamboo slip to He Lao Ghost.

But people are curious, and the more my master won't let me see it, the more I want to know what is written in it.

He Lao Ghost was holding the bamboo slip, his eyes were extremely puzzled, he probably wanted to ask: "This is the golden scroll?" But he glanced at my master, but didn't speak, just silently dismantled the bamboo slips.

But after glancing at the bamboo slip unfolded by God, Old Ghost He's eyes became even more puzzled, and finally he couldn't help but ask my master: "Who is Luo Zhongxing?" ”

My master replied lightly: "You have been looking for someone all your life." ”

I saw that Old Ghost He's eyes suddenly widened, and he asked in an unusually shocked tone, "Is he still alive?" ”

My master smiled at this time: "Probably dead." I don't think you want him to be alive like me. ”

Old Ghost He breathed a long, long sigh of relief, and was still muttering: "Alas, it's good to be dead, it's good to be dead." ”

I wondered in my heart, who was the "he" in the mouths of Master and Old Ghost He, and why Old Ghost He seemed to be very afraid of that person.

At this time, my master spoke again: "Where is Zhao Zongdian?" ”

Old Ghost He hesitated for a moment before saying to my master: "A month ago, Zhao Zongdian appeared once in Dali, and I only know so much. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, my master left without looking back, and I hurried to follow my master.

When I was about to get to the screen, I suddenly felt weak, and my feet went limp, and I fell headlong on my master's back.

My master was pushed by me for a while, and he wanted to turn his head to look at me, but when he turned around, his eyes inadvertently fell on He Laogui's small couch, and then I saw Master sigh and said helplessly: "This little fox ghost! ”

So I also looked over to Old Ghost He, who was in a daze at the bamboo slip in his hand, and didn't notice the actions of Master and me.

And Xian'er was standing behind He Laogui, also looking at the bamboo slip, with a very puzzled expression on her face.

No wonder I feel weak, this room is too big, I'm almost close to the door now, Xian'er is still on the couch, she's too far away from me!

At this time, Xian'er got down from the couch, walked to my side, and said to me with a frown: "Guess what is written on that bamboo slip?" ”

I glanced at Old Ghost He, and felt that this was not the place to speak, so I pulled Xian'er and walked out of the store before my master.

It wasn't until I walked a little further that I asked Xian'er, "What is written on it?" ”

When I was talking to Xian'er, Master was right behind me, but my Master didn't seem to be hiding anything, just walked with his head held high.

Xian'er winked at me: "Let you guess, why did you ask me again?" ”

I thought for a moment before saying, "It's probably something about Luo Zhongxing, right?" ”

But Xian'er shook her head: "It's not about Luo Zhongxing, but only three words: Luo, Zhong, and Xing." On the huge bamboo slips, there are just these three words. ”

Then I threw a questioning look at my master with Xian'er.

Master smiled at the two of us before he said to me, "Originally, I didn't plan to let you know this name so early, but since you know it, then you know." But there is a way, the only people who know this name now are me, He Lao Ghost, you and Xian'er. Don't talk about it everywhere, and don't let the fifth person know his name, remember! ”

I was still waiting for Master to tell me who Luo Zhongxing was, but my master didn't even follow up, I know, about Luo Zhongxing, my master didn't intend to tell me at all, with his character, no matter how much I asked him, he wouldn't say a word.

Or Xian'er couldn't help but ask: "Who is Luo Zhongxing?" ”

The master glared at Xian'er: "Ask what you should ask, don't ask what you shouldn't!" ”

Xian'er stuck out her tongue and looked at me very complainingly, as if it weren't for me, she wouldn't have been murdered by her master.

I didn't let you ask, you blame me for talking too much!

As I thought so, Xian'er reached out and pinched my arm, I had been pinched by her more than once in the past, but none of them hurt as much as this one.

Sick this man, no, this ghost!

Xian'er knew that I was scolding her in my heart, and gave me a big roll of the eyes, and then got into my shoulder again.

Xian'er has been my companion for some years, but there is one thing I have never understood, she is obviously a spirit and can enter and leave my body freely, but I can touch her, and when she pinches me, I can also feel pain, and there will be bruises on my arms.

If the spiritual spring made her three souls and seven spirits turn into entities to a certain extent, why can she enter and leave my body, and why can't others see her? But if she is a simple spirit, how did the touch come about?

I have also asked Master these questions, but Master has no way to explain them, and what else is there to say, in this world, there are too many things that cannot be explained, so let me stop thinking nonsense all day long.

At this time, Liang Houzai also came over and said that Senior Brother Zhuang had come to find my master just now.

He interrupted my train of thought, and I didn't continue to think about it.

Listening to Liang Houzai, Senior Brother Zhuang seemed to be in a hurry when he came to find his master, and seeing that my master was no longer there, Senior Brother Zhuang hurried to Zhenmen Hall again.

When my master heard Liang Houzai say this, he rushed towards the town gate.

When they came to Zhenmen Hall, in addition to Senior Brother Zhuang, Uncle Xia and Uncle Zhao were also there, and they seemed to be discussing something.

Seeing that my master was coming, Senior Brother Zhuang didn't bother to salute, but ran to my master and said anxiously: "There is a corpse lost in the shop opened by the corpse keeper, Uncle Chai should go and take a look." ”

My master frowned: "Lost the body? Who's going to steal a huge corpse? ”

"It's not stealing," Zhao Shibo said on the side: "It's lost, the evil corpse ran away by itself." ”

As soon as I heard it, I also knew that something was wrong, there were so many people in the ghost market, and if the evil corpse was stuck in the pile, the consequences would be unimaginable.

But my master still looked unhurried, so I heard him say: "I went to that corpse shop to see it before, and this year they brought a few hairy zombies, and the ghost market is full of people in the same way, a small hairy zombie, can't make any waves." Senior Brother Xia, I'm in a bit of a hurry now, I want to go to Dali to have a look, tomorrow the door will open, you can help me Zhang Luo. ”

Listening to what my master meant, there is only one shop in the entire ghost market that does evil corpse trading, and I think about it, I have gone around the ghost market twice, and I haven't seen a second shop of the same kind.

Uncle Xia didn't ask me what my master was doing in Dali, but the expression on his face became a little embarrassed.

But Senior Brother Zhuang said at this time: "When Senior Di, who is a corpse raiser, came to me, how could he say that there was a powerful thing running in his store, and that if you don't deal with it quickly, the ghost market will suffer." Uncle Chai, Senior Di, you know, he is also an old-timer in the line of raising corpses, he shouldn't lie to me, right? ”

My master probably also felt that something was wrong, and asked me Senior Brother Zhuang again: "Did Lao Di say what kind of corpse he lost?" ”

Senior Brother Zhuang shook his head: "I asked him, but he didn't say." ”

I interjected: "Maybe it's that piece of white meat." ”

Senior Brother Zhuang and Master looked at me at the same time, and Master asked me, "What white meat?" ”

I thought about it for a moment and replied to Master, "Today I went to the corpse keeper's shop and saw a very strange evil corpse. It was a piece of white flesh covered with spirit runes, and when I saw it, there was a baby's face on it, with no pupils, and both eyes were white. ”

When Master heard me say this, his face became very ugly, and he muttered, "Why did you bring this kind of thing to the ghost market?" He walked briskly into the next room, and soon came out with a long bag and two boxes of biscuits.

I couldn't be more familiar with that baggage, and it contained my master's green steel sword.

The master stuffed the biscuits to me and Liang Houzai, and said, "You two come with me, you have a lesson, you go to Lao Di and ask him to get out, he won't have to use the ghost market next year!" ”

After that, my master glanced at Uncle Xia again, and Uncle Xia pinched his fingers for a while, and said very briefly: "Foot City, southeast direction." ”
