Chapter 39, The Past of the Undertaker

The name of the Xuanyuan family is still very useful, and the director of this department immediately became polite.

After explaining the matter to him, he was about to leave, the director may be flattering, and said to me: "I will definitely do a good job of the things you explained, I will set up a dinner in Jintan City tonight, and the leaders will be there at that time, please come to enjoy the light." ”

After I casually coped, I pulled Dong Aqiang to find the mortuary of the funeral home.

Generally speaking, the mortuary's room is the quietest, which is the rule of the law, not to disturb the tranquility of the deceased, and on the other hand, it is also for the sake of being able to live a long life.

Dong Aqiang knocked on the door, and a deep voice came from inside and said, "Who?" ”

Listening to this voice, the middle qi is very full, although it should be old, but it looks like the body is not empty. Dong Aqiang opened his mouth and said, "Lao Xu, it's me who brought a friend to meet you." ”

After finishing speaking, there was a sound of walking in the room, and when I opened the door, I saw a tall old man standing in front of us, but he looked a little ugly, with few hairs, and a crooked mouth, slanted eyes, and a closer look, it was a little scary. But when I look at his hands, they are very smooth and slender. It is indeed a hand that only those who are mortuaries have, and he glanced at me and asked, "Which sect and which school?" Maoshan's outer disciples? ”

He could see that I was a supernatural person, and I smiled and said, "I'm a yin and yang agent." ”

Dong Aqiang said in a low voice: "Jiang Tianxin's apprentice. ”

As soon as this old Xu heard the master's name, his expression was soothed, and he said, "Come in, your voice is softer." I like the quiet. ”

I nodded and followed Dong Aqiang into the room. The whole office is quite large, but there is a bed, a desk, a sofa, and a bookshelf. There was a pot of plants in the corner, but the leaves and branches were a little yellowed, and it was obvious that they had not been properly cared for. We sat on the sofa, Lao Xu made us tea, but there was no boiling water, he walked out with a hot water bottle.

After seeing him leave, I asked, "Uncle Dong, has this old Xu been living in the funeral home?" ”

Dong Aqiang nodded and said: "You also know, if you know this craft, it is more difficult to find a daughter-in-law, plus he looks a little ugly, his temper is also a little weird, and he has dealt with several objects in the past, and in the end they are all yellow." I simply lived in the funeral home, but our funeral home also had a few security guards every day to talk to him and chat with him. ”

I nodded, the ugly-looking person didn't like it when he saw it, but he kept him safe. Sometimes, when you lose something, you can get something.

After a while, Lao Xu walked in with a hot water bottle, made two cups of tea, and said to me, "What do you want to ask if you want to see me?" ”

His tone was still a little unkind, but I didn't move, smiled and said: "You have also heard about the strange things in the funeral home today, I want to ask, did you find anything when you were sorting out the remains of the deceased?" ”

Lao Xu shook his head and said, "Nothing special has been discovered. What's wrong? Suspect I did this strange thing? Can I do it? Is revenge on a corpse fun? ”

Lao Xu was a little excited, and after Dong Aqiang calmed down a few words, I took out the silver wire, put it on the table, and then said: "You can see at a glance that I am a supernatural person, and I think I should be very familiar with some nearby supernatural sects, have you ever seen a sect or person who can use silver filament to manipulate corpses?" ”

Lao Xu took the silver wire, looked at it for a while, and said, "I haven't seen it." Anyway, I haven't seen it, and you're here to ask me these questions? If it's okay, get out there, don't bother me here! I'm going to take a nap too! ”

After saying a few words this time, Lao Xu gave an eviction order, and when he pulled Dong Aqiang to stand up, I happened to see a scar on his wrist where he stretched out his sleeve. I took a step forward, grabbed his hand, and lifted his sleeve. At this moment, he was taken aback and wanted to resist, but he couldn't resist my strength, I lifted his sleeve all the way, revealing his arm, there was a long scar under the arm, I pointed to the scar and asked, "Where did you get this scar?" ”

Lao Xu withdrew his hand and said dissatisfiedly: "This is an injury suffered in the early years, what's wrong?" Do you want to take care of my injury? ”

I chased after me and asked, "How did you get hurt?" What weapon was the injury? You make it clear. ”

Dong Aqiang wanted to play a round, after all, the atmosphere between the two of us was a little awkward. Lao Xu shouted dissatisfiedly: "What's the matter? Do I want to tell you about my injury? You're too wide, aren't you? ”

I sneered and said, "If you don't tell me, it's okay, I'll ask the fifth group of the national brand to come and talk to you." I've read the files of the last ten years, and there was a guy in Jiangsu who used the method of controlling corpses to intimidate others and rob property, but later in the joint arrest of the fifth group of the national brand, his spiritual sense was broken, and his arm was slashed with a machete. After that, although he escaped from the encirclement, he could only live a mortal life. Lao Xu, your eyesight is several times higher than Dong Aqiang, and in the face of a supernatural person like me, you are calm and even a little sarcastic. Your scars, and when you just walked out of the room, I saw you twist your waist, which means that your spine is not good. If you don't want to be honest with me yet, then I can only let the fifth group of the national brand come and talk to you. ”

Lao Xu lowered his head, Dong Aqiang looked at us a little strangely, and he couldn't interject at this time.

"I know that the recent strange things must not have been done by you, but you should be informed, tell me everything you know, and don't hide it."

With a tough voice in my voice, Lao Xu sat back in his chair, held the teacup and said: "I originally learned the skills in a corpse refining tribe, a corpse refining tribe that fell into Jiangsu, and took the road of corpse refining in the Luxi lineage. It was good at first, and everyone helped each other. Later, because we were ostracized by the supernatural sects in the mainland, we took less and less work, and we often clashed with the surrounding supernatural sects. Everyone was having a hard time, and at that time, the patriarch of our clan proposed that everyone take a different path. I know what he means is to let everyone use the method of refining corpses to control the walking corpses to commit crimes. At first, everyone was unwilling, but gradually someone made money, and no one checked, so everyone did it. The first days were really smooth. But later, the fifth group of the national brand set their eyes on us, and everyone was very scared when they watched the people around them being arrested one by one. At this time, I also wanted to stop, so I made a suggestion to the patriarch, "The chief said, I can leave, but I have to finish the last vote." I agreed to his request, but I was the only one out of a dozen people to escape. Buried incognito, he is doing the business of the mortuary. ”

Dong Aqiang and I glanced at each other and waited for Lao Xu to continue.

"Recently, several old men have died in a row, and I actually found silver threads on their corpses, which is a special method of refining corpses in our vein, by controlling the back of the heads of some corpses that have not yet been sacrificed, and letting them do simple actions, it is not a problem to scare people. As soon as I saw these silver threads, I knew they must have been made by our original tribe. I didn't want to cross paths with them, so I didn't show up. But just yesterday, one of them came to me. ”

Lao Xu paused at this point, took a sip of tea, and I saw his hand holding the teacup shaking, not because he was old, but because he was afraid.

I whispered, "Don't be nervous, no one can hurt you with me." ”

Lao Xu nodded and said, "It's our original patriarch who came to me, and he said that he has to do a big deal recently, but the chickens and dogs in Jintan City that need to be made are restless." Let me cooperate with his work, and they will control some dead bodies in the near future, so that I don't say anything and pretend I don't know. He also said that after the deed is done, he will never bother me again. But if I say it, he'll kill me. Our patriarch is a ruthless character who does what he says. But I can't fall into the hands of the fifth group of the national brand, all fugitives will be tortured in the hands of the fifth group of the national brand. Duanmusen, you must thin me, I beg you, I don't want to die, and I don't want to be tortured. You must thin me! ”

I nodded, thought for a moment, and asked, "Have you ever seen a ghost under the moon?" ”

Lao Xu shook his head and said, "Our vein only controls corpses, not ghosts. What you just said will thin me. ”

I patted him on the shoulder and said, "Tell me where the people of your line are hiding, and I'll find a way to get rid of them all so that you're safe." ”

After Lao Xu heard this, he immediately turned around and walked to the writing desk, just picked up the pen, and before he could write, his eyes suddenly widened, and a blood mist burst out of his body, and the whole person fell to the ground.

I hurriedly rushed over, hugged his body, and saw a silver wire tattooed on Lao Xu's chest! The silver thread pierced his chest, tearing his ribcage apart.

I grabbed the silver thread, and when I glanced out, I saw a black figure running away. I shouted: "Damn, don't let Lao Tzu go!" ”

Breaking out of the window, I saw a short figure quickly burrowing into the alley, and I hurriedly chased after it!
