Chapter 84: Ulterior motives

The man was still crying and said, "This time it's really not, it's really not." I don't even know what that corpse is. When the ghost market first opened, a man brought that thing to my store, saying that he wanted to change it for a black hair stiff, and I saw that the thing in his hand was strange, so I changed it with him. But how do I know, my corpse talisman can't stop it, hey, this little master has seen the evil corpse in my shop, you ask him, at that time, the evil corpse was full of spirit talismans? ”

As he spoke, he ran up behind me and pushed me in front of Master.

My master looked at him and then at me. I nodded at Master.

My master pondered for a while, and then asked the owner of the corpse shop, "Do you remember what the person who exchanged corpses with you looked like?" ”

The shopkeeper shook his head: "It's very dark in my shop, where can I see his face clearly, but listening to his accent, it seems to be from Nanyang." ”

My master asked me Uncle Xia, "Have you invited people from Nanyang to come this year?" ”

Uncle Xia shook his head: "Originally, I invited a few head lowering masters, but there seemed to be a mess on the Nanyang side, and they all declined politely." ”

My master turned his gaze to the owner of the corpse shop and asked him tentatively, "Are you not mistaken?" ”

The shopkeeper gave my master a big hug and said helplessly: "Oh, my master Chai, we have been friends for decades, and you still don't know me?" Yes, my memory is a little worse, but how can I remember what just happened today? Listening to that person's accent, it should be a Nanyang person, yes, a Nanyang person. ”

My master also became puzzled, and said to himself, "I have been guarding the gate of the ghost market all along, and I haven't seen anyone from Nanyang." ”

Zhao Shibo interjected next to him, "That person, maybe he deliberately disguised his voice with a Nanyang accent. This year's ghost market is different from the past, with many shops, many customers, and many miscellaneous people. ”

Uncle Xia also spoke: "Senior Brother Chai, I think you should not leave first, the ghost market, it will definitely not work without you, and this year's situation is quite special." In this way, it just so happens that Dali is not too far from us, early the day after tomorrow, let you send you over, anyway, even if you catch the train, it will take more than a day on the road. ”

After all, my master has been away from Jisoul Village for so long, and my master finally has news of him, and he must want to find him quickly, but my master can't let go of the ghost market.

The master bowed his head and muttered for a long time, but finally nodded: "Alas, it's okay." ”

After that, the master raised his head again and said to the shopkeeper of the corpse shop, "Alas, Di Da is sloppy, when will your so-so nature change?" How much trouble have you gotten into in the ghost market over the years, huh? I can't carry it for you every time, can I? You can't participate in this year's ghost market anymore, let your senior brother come next year. ”

The shopkeeper looked at my master for a while, probably because he saw that my master couldn't make sense, and looked at Uncle Zhao again, Master Zhao quickly picked up the teacup, drank tea intently, and then looked at Uncle Xia, who simply closed his eyes and made a look of closing his eyes and recuperating.

Eventually, he turned his gaze to me.

I was also taken aback by him, did he want me to intercede for him? Just kidding!

I didn't avoid his gaze, but he didn't say anything to me, just sighed, and reluctantly walked out of the hall.

Just as he was about to walk out of the hall, Uncle Zhao suddenly grabbed a cigarette stick on the tea table and shouted to him: "You smoke!" ”

So he walked back with a brow on his face, took the stick, and walked away again with a brow on his face.

I look at him really pitiful, and I want to help him speak, but I also know that I have no right to speak in front of my master and the two heads of the family.

It wasn't until the owner of the corpse shop had left for a while that my master asked Uncle Zhao again: "Senior brother, how do I feel that what you just said doesn't seem to have finished speaking?" ”

Uncle Zhao took a sip of tea and smiled at my master: "I know I can't hide it from you, just now I wanted to say that there are many miscellaneous people in this year's ghost market, and there are many people with ulterior motives." ”

My master didn't speak, just waited for Uncle Zhao to continue.

After that, it was my Uncle Xia who said: "Just when you went to deal with the evil corpse, the two Dao Masters of Longhu Mountain lived in a black zombie in Dongshi Town. Most of the people who are doing business in the East Market this year are not very good, and if it weren't for the two Taoist chiefs who happened to pass by, things might be very troublesome. Senior Brother Zhao believes that the matter of these two evil corpses is that someone is deliberately playing ghosts. First, use a ...... What's going on? ”

My master responded, "Ghouls." ”

Xia Shibo continued: "First use the ghoul to lure you away, and then release the black zombie in the East Market, the time is just right, it shouldn't be as simple as a coincidence. I also heard Di Baoquan say that when the ghoul first entered his shop, he could still easily suppress it with the help of thirty-six corpse talismans, but just after Shen Shi, the ghoul suddenly burst out, and before Di Baoquan could react, it escaped from the store. ”

My master also nodded: "I know the corpse talisman of the corpse keeper's lineage, Lao Di has used so many corpse talismans, and the flying zombie can be suppressed, and the ghoul should not be a problem." Looks like someone did something to the ghouls. ”

Only then did Master Zhao open his mouth to speak: "I should have done something with my hands and feet." No matter who this person was, he didn't do anything when the ghost market had just opened and Senior Brother Chai hadn't entered the ghost market. However, after Senior Brother Chai entered the ghost market, he had to lure Senior Brother Chai away, and only then did he release the black zombie in the East Market. I think he should have thought that there were too few people when the ghost market first opened, and even if something happened, a few people couldn't die, and the movement was not big enough to damage the business of our Soul Village, so he chose to stay still for the time being. ”

Uncle Zhao's words have already made it obvious that this so-called "person with ulterior motives" is coming for our Soul Village!

My master didn't seem to be too worried, and asked me with a smile, "Senior brother already knows who this person is?" ”

Uncle Zhao also smiled slyly: "Tomorrow night, this person will inevitably show his feet." ”

My master breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, I'll go and prepare, Senior Brother Zhao, please go to the foot market, a Genzi road in the southeast is stained with corpse gas, and now it stinks." Do you need me to do it tomorrow night? ”

Uncle Xia actually smiled at me at this time: "Your stall will be handed over to Youdao sooner or later, if you can rest assured, this time, leave it to Youdao." ”

I? I don't know what kind of person the other person is, can I do it?

To be honest, when I heard Uncle Xia's words, I was very worried, but my master didn't seem to be worried at all, and said with a relaxed face: "What's not to worry about, I have taught him for so many years, and it is not in vain." Leave it to him tomorrow night. ”

I'm also speechless, my master actually decided like this, it's too hasty!

But what do I think in my heart, my master and uncle will definitely not pay attention to it, and I have also said that in front of them, I have no right to speak.

"Come, there is a way, just take advantage of this meeting to pass on the Tiangang Sword to you." Master beckoned to me as he walked out of the hall.

I hurriedly followed, and as soon as I stepped out of the threshold of the hall, I heard my Uncle Xia shouting to my master from afar: "Have you thought about what to sell tomorrow?" ”

My master replied without looking back: "I'll talk about it tomorrow!" ”

Master looked like he was in a hurry, he was walking very fast, and Liang Houzai and I trotted all the way to catch up with him.

Seeing that when I was about to get to the door, my master asked me for the key to the door, but he didn't go to the main door, but followed a path with fewer people to the back wall of the footwalk, and I found that there was a small egg-yellow door behind the door, and there was no window on the door, which blended with the strong yellow wall, and if you didn't look carefully, it was really difficult to see that it was a door.

The lock on this door was the same as the front door, and Master opened it with a key, and when I pushed it open, I realized that this door opened to the hut in the corner of the high platform.

The outside of the door was egg yolk, and the inside was a thick, muddy gray that when I saw it in the hut, I thought it was a wall.

My master turned on the light and asked Liang Houzai to close the door before he said to me, "It's a bit troublesome for you to get things done tomorrow." You have a green steel sword, in case of danger, use this set of Tiangang swords I passed you to block it. ”

As Master spoke, I saw him drag the table away from the hut, crouch down again, and slap his hand on the ground a few times.

When my master's palm slapped on the ground, a puff of dust suddenly rose on the floor, and at my master's left foot, a square stone slab with a length of one meter and a width appeared.

The master inserted the green steel sword through the gap in the edge of the slate, and with a strong pick, the slate was picked up by him, and I saw clearly that there was a dark passage directly below the slate.

When I first saw this hut, I thought it was supposed to be a small storeroom, but I guessed correctly, but this hut was just the entrance to the storeroom, and the real treasure was at the end of this underground passage.

There was also a hidden compartment in the wall at the entrance to the underground passage, and there was nothing unusual in it, except for a waterproof flashlight, a snakeskin bag the size of a palm, and a pair of snakeskin gloves.

The master pinned the snakeskin bag and gloves to his waist before turning on his flashlight and walking deeper into the tunnel.

The tunnel is not too long, and after walking for about a minute, you can vaguely see a stone gate not far away, and the same as the tomb gate under the Ranfen Mountain, on this stone door, it is also full of a large number of spiritual runes.

Master said to me, "Some of the things in here have a very heavy evil qi and yin qi, and it is not okay to not seal them. These one hundred and eight spirit runes are all drawn by Lao Chen, and every ten years in the future, you will ask Lao Chen to redraw some talismans, replace the old talismans on the door, and if Lao Chen burps that day, you will find his eldest disciple Liu Zishan. Hehe, people like me and Lao Chen are all old antiques, and in another ten years, it will be the era of your juniors. ”
