27. Lost Village
Hades fell, and the Grim Reaper didn't seem to have any intention of staying to continue to trouble me, although the process was a little out of control, but the result was still good. I didn't ask about the specific process of Hades being killed, but quickly jumped out of the window into the backyard and quickly ran to Lin Lin's house.
As soon as I pushed open the back door of Lin's house, Lin Lin's father also happened to walk to the door, and before I could ask, Lin Lin's father excitedly shouted at me: "Lin Lin is alive!" Lin Lin came back to life!! His voice was so loud that it hurt my eardrums a little, and the words "incredible" were clearly written on his face.
I also hurriedly followed Lin Lin's father to the house.
Lin Lin was still in the room before, but all the holes in her body had disappeared, and the internal organs were not scattered all over the ground like before, and everything in her condition was not much different from that of a normal child, only the large pool of blood on the ground could prove that Lin Lin was indeed in extreme danger just now.
I asked Lin Lin's father what had just happened.
Lin Lin's father replied to me that there was a black mist pouring into the house, and then he didn't listen to me, and ran to Lin Lin's side to protect Lin Lin, but the black fog quickly swallowed all three of them, and he didn't see anything at all, and when the black fog dispersed, Lin Lin became what he is now, and the hole in his body was gone.
I know where that black fog came from, and it's obvious that it was Danatus, the god of death, who saved Lin Lin.
Lin Lin's parents thanked me for their kindness and said that they would repay me no matter what. I did need someone to help, but unfortunately, Lin Lin's parents were not able to help me, so I ended up taking only one of their spring beds and symbolically accepting their thank-you gifts.
After returning to Mrs. Chen's house, Qiao Wei also told me in detail about the process of Hades being killed.
Equality Wang Lu, although the name sounds very Chinese and classical, in Qiao Wei's opinion, the appearance of the Nine Palaces of Yama is more similar to the devil in Christianity. He had crimson skin, two crooked horns on his head, and black hair that hung down behind him to the ground.
In addition to the countless ghost hands, Hades also had a huge mace almost about his height, and he used that big stick to fight against death for half an hour.
The process of fighting is nothing special, basically two gods are there, you hit me, I pay you back, and compete with each other for strength and endurance.
Qiao Wei really didn't see how strong the Grim Reaper was there than Hades, and he wasn't even sure if Hades was really defeated, because there was nothing special about the final victory of Death, and the reason why Hades was cut was because Hades threw away the mace, and opened his hands to let Death cut him in two and then go up in smoke.
I guess these two guys must not have been idle when they fought each other, maybe the Grim Reaper made some kind of deal to Hades, or maybe these two guys reached some kind of agreement, but no matter what the process is, it seems to be beneficial to me from the outcome, after all, I am still alive, and the people of the Lin family are all right, which is enough.
That night, we did a transcendent ritual for An Xusheng according to the agreement of the front line. Although I haven't been able to completely solve the root cause of the honeycomb monster, at least An Xusheng understands the cause, which also makes him have no ties to the world, and Mrs. Chen is also very pleased that An Xusheng can ascend to heaven.
Chang Le only came back at noon the next day, and when he heard that Qiao Wei and I had finished Hades yesterday, he was so surprised that his jaw almost fell to the ground. And not only was he surprised, he also regretted very much that he didn't leave Mrs. Chen's house last night, after all, the duel between the god of death and the king of Hades is not something that anyone can have a chance to see.
In addition to surprise and regret, Chang Le brought me two pieces of good news.
One of them is about the golden cicada, Chang Le's subordinates have heard that there is an invisible rich man in the city, it seems that after making a fortune in the United States, he returned to China to start playing antiques, and it is rumored that there is a big golden cicada in the hands of this person.
Although Hades was defeated last night, I don't think he's dead, and even if he does, I'm very concerned about the relationship between the golden cicada and the gate of the underworld, so I feel it is necessary to follow this clue to continue to investigate.
Another piece of news is really good news, Qiao Wei and I will soon get a full set of new documents, but before that, Qiao Wei and I have to go to Chang Le for a makeup make-up, and then take new photos, if we enter the airport and train station in our current appearance, I am afraid it will be very difficult to pass the security check.
In the evening, the person in charge of applying for certificates for me and Qiao Wei went directly to Mrs. Chen's house. The man was well-dressed and decent-looking, feeling like a successful businessman, and he also brought his own professional three-person work team, which looked much more professional than those who put up small advertisements everywhere.
Qiao Wei and I cooperated with each other to complete the make-up, take pictures, and paste fake finger masks to enter fake fingerprints, and felt that the other party did not plan to apply for a fake certificate, but to apply for a set of "real" certificates.
When the professional team was busy with work, Chang Le also whispered to me that it would take 200,000 yuan to apply for this set of certificates, and he had already paid for me.
200,000 is definitely not a small amount, if in the past this price can already make me jump two meters high, but now I am not afraid, I also have a jade plate in my hand, as soon as this thing is shot, all the things related to money will not matter.
At noon the next day, Qiao Wei and I got our new ID cards, and the mobile phones and other contact tools were also reconfigured, and the clothes we usually wore were naturally bought.
I asked Chang Le to leave 100,000 yuan for Mrs. Chen as a thank you gift, thanking him for taking us in for so many days. Mrs. Chen refused to accept it, she said that we could help An Xusheng but wished that it was the best thank you gift for him to ascend to heaven, but in the end she still couldn't beat me, and finally accepted the money.
After leaving Mrs. Chen's house, Qiao Wei and I used our new ID cards to find a hotel to live in, and after many days, we could finally say goodbye to the floor and sleep on the soft big bed, which was definitely a heavenly enjoyment, the only uncomfortable thing was that Qiao Wei and I had to maintain the makeup on our faces.
Qiao Wei and I had a day off in the hotel. I took advantage of this day to contact Xiao Guo and asked her to take her personal doctor over by plane to help me check my body. I am very satisfied with the results of the examination, Qiao Wei and I have no physical problems, and it seems that there is no external damage to the internal damage.
In addition, I also contacted the god of fortune, focusing on asking about the discoloration of the jade plate.
The god of fortune told me that the jade plate is a kind of "magic weapon" of the gods, and the public's explanation is equivalent to the purple gold gourd of Sun Wukong in Journey to the West, and the discoloration of the plate indicates that there is a divine soul that has been put into the plate, and when the plate returns to green, it means that the divine soul inside has completely dissipated; If I can agree with the statement, the material and production process of the plate are very special, its structure can absorb a large number of electromagnetic waves, and these electromagnetic waves can be completely swallowed and digested, and the body of God is actually a special electromagnetic wave, in the case of extreme weakness, God will be destroyed by this plate.
But it's a pity that the special cooldown time of this god-killing weapon is too long, and it will take at least two years for it to return to turquoise, which is equivalent to a one-time thing for me, and it is more cost-effective to sell it than to keep it around.
After a day's rest, Qiao Wei and Chang Le set off together to visit the invisible rich man who was rumored to be in the market, and we also brought jade plates.
We also talked to the invisible rich man on the phone before we came and showed him a picture of the jade plate, so we also entered his house without any problems.
In my expectation, the rich man should be a forty-year-old and fifty-year-old, balding and shrewd-looking person, a bit like Jobs, but I was greatly surprised when I actually met the rich man, because the rich man was only thirty years old at most, and he was dressed very casually, no matter how he looked at it, he was an ordinary young man - I think the so-called "invisible" probably means this.
This young rich man's surname is Ye, and his single name is a dust character, although he smiled when he received us, but he did not mean to relax his vigilance against the three of us, because in his house I saw five tall strong men, who looked like veterans, and it was estimated that they were the bodyguards invited by Ye Chen.
I don't think these five bodyguards can help us, but we're not here to make trouble, we're here to make a deal.
I directly put the jade plate in front of Ye Chen, and then opened a price of 5 million, and Ye Chen immediately called an expert who specializes in identifying jade and jade to identify it.
In the process of identification, Ye Chen also asked about the reason for the blackening of this jade plate.
I didn't play anything with him, so I told Ye Chen about the fact that the plate can kill gods and the simple process of things. I thought that if something like an antique was mixed with myths and legends, it might raise its value, and my idea was quickly confirmed.
Ye Chen was very interested in the fact that the plate could kill the gods, and he asked me a lot about mythology and yin and yang, and I tried my best to answer everything I could, and if I couldn't answer, I would change Qiao Wei and Chang Le to answer, in short, the three of us coaxed this young rich man very happy.
Soon, the appraisal of the plate was also completed, and seeing that the appraisal expert nodded at Ye Chen, I felt that the deal should basically be completed.
Soon, Ye Chen agreed to the deal and happily wrote us a check for 5 million.
Now that the check was in hand, I turned to another purpose of the trip - the golden cicada.
Because I have talked a lot about yin and yang gods and ghosts before, I did not shy away from directly talking about the gate of the underworld, the king of Hades, the insects of the underworld, and the honeycomb monster disease that gave birth to holes in the body.
After hearing this, Ye Chen's eyes suddenly widened and he bowed forward and said, "You said that there is a hole in your body because of the underworld?!! ”
Looking at Ye Chen's reaction, I knew that there must be people with cellulosis around him, so I also took the opportunity to ask. Sure enough, Ye Chen replied that he had received the golden cicada in a village on the Yunnan side before, and in that village he saw a lot of people with holes in their bodies, and the local villagers said that the golden cicada had a curse, so they would sell it.
I asked Ye Chen again if anything strange had happened after he bought the golden cicada.
Ye Chen said that he had kept the golden cicada in his private vault, and nothing strange had happened so far, but he had been paying attention to the village where he had bought the golden cicada before, and strange and inexplicable things had been happening in that village.
I asked again what was going on.
Ye Chen said that after the golden cicada was bought, the honeycomb disease in the village seemed to be really cured, but since then, the people in the village have begun to lose weight day by day, and there are many doctors who go to the village to treat the villagers, but it won't take long for these doctors to start thinning, and what is even more strange is that they all stayed in the village and refused to leave, so the place that was originally called the golden cicada village is now also called the lost village, because everyone who enters the village will be lost in their way home.
Ye Chen had always been curious about that village, but now after listening to my words, he began to wonder if there was a so-called Hades Gate in the village, so after the antique trade was over, he made another request, hoping that we could go to the Lost Village to solve the mysteries of the village.
