Chapter 20: Midnight Terror

Previous Chapter

The paper bag opened, and a halo of light suddenly came out. This set of wine utensils is indeed beautiful, after the vicissitudes of the years, it is a layer of pulp on the surface, which makes the brilliance more connotative, coupled with exquisite carving, Zhang Chengdao has a feeling of love and affection.

However, the faint black gas emitted from the wine utensils made Zhang Chengdao's brows furrow tighter the more he looked at it. Since ancient times, there has been a saying that jade is psychic, and jade can also store all kinds of aura and mana, which is why Zhang Chengdao can engrave runes into jade pendants.

However, jade can not only store Taoism, such as the owner's favorite things in life, and buried with the owner, and the owner is obsessed, and when the ghost lingers, it is easy to store resentment in the jade, so that the jade becomes an ominous thing.

If it's just ominous, it's better to say, if the owner really likes this thing, he will come to look for it after being taken away, and the guy who doesn't have enough resentment may only punish you, and if you really meet a big ghost like Hehe, you will be killed, who let you take the initiative to provoke others.

Thinking of this, Zhang Chengdao couldn't help but have a trace of doubt, he had also come into contact with the box containing wine utensils before, why didn't he feel a trace of resentment?

Motioned to the thin man to open the box and pour out the banknotes inside, and there was indeed a sponge layer under the box. Zhang Chengdao stretched out his hand and tried it, and the sponge sandwich was really able to be taken out.

After taking down the sponge interlayer, the Ge family brothers who were on the side suddenly changed their faces, and Zhang Chengdao showed an expression that was really like this. Because at the bottom of the box, there was a yellow talisman lying quietly at this time. However, under a closer look, Zhang Chengdao's face gradually became difficult to see.

This is a piece of rune paper that is almost exactly the same as the "tenfold" symbol, except that the Chinese character written in the circle is not "tenfold", but a "stop" character. Its function must be to isolate the resentment in the box.

Thinking of the other two yellow talismans in his pocket, Zhang Chengdao thought of the words "Responsive House". In one day, I encountered three yellow talismans, two of which were obviously aimed at myself, so this time。。。。。。 Was it also premeditated, or was it just the right time?

Ge Hongjun pointed at the yellow charm and wanted to open his mouth several times, but closed it because he didn't know what to say. Finally, he hesitated and said, "This~~ This is a talisman?" "He can be said to be a man who makes a fortune, and although he has not personally experienced strange things, he has heard a lot, and they are all very subtle. Now that I saw a yellow talisman in the box, I suddenly thought about it, and many bad memories came to my heart. In the end, the reason why he asked like this was actually a bit of luck, but he also knew in his heart that if it was okay, what would people do if they put a talisman in the box.

Zhang Chengdao stood up, handed his right hand to Ge Hongjun and said, "Formally introduce, my name is Zhang Chengdao, my main business is a Taoist, and my side job is a student." Ge Hongjun held Zhang Chengdao's hand in surprise: "Dao ~ Taoist? Are you from Wudang Mountain? ”

Zhang Chengdao sighed secretly, it seems that Zhengyi is really in decline. When it comes to Taoist priests, the only thing that comes to mind is Wudang and Quanzhen, just as when it comes to monks, everyone first thinks of Shaolin.

After reloading a few pieces of wine utensils into the box and closing the lid, the black gas did not escape. Zhang Chengdao patted the box and said, "Let's move, it's not safe here." ”

"This ~~ group of people have just been here twice, and they have searched this house thoroughly, I think they should think that this set of drinking utensils will not be in this room at least, so this is the safest place at this time, right?" The thin man seemed reluctant to move, he explained.

"Now we don't have to worry about people, but ghosts, and I wouldn't be surprised if you two were found dead in this room tomorrow morning. Let's go, I'm a professional in this area. After Zhang Chengdao finished speaking, he got up and left, he wanted to go back to the house to get his backpack.

The county seat is very small, and there are only a few small hotels left except for this hotel. The three of them walked around the county for a long time before they re-settled in a small hotel far away from the hotel and still in a prosperous area.

It is a room with three beds, and although there is an extra bed, the room is not larger than the hotel room, so it can only be reduced to the width of the bed. Ge Hongjun picked a bed in the middle, he was thin and small, but Ge Tao, who was huge, was lying on the bed by the window, but he didn't even dare to move.

Looking at the yellowed sheets and the damp quilt that could almost squeeze out water, Zhang Chengdao threw his backpack on the bed and said, "Let's live here tonight." Now, I think it's important for you to tell me the details of what happened. ”

The thin man wandered around the house, trying to find a safe place to hide the box, but failed. Because this room is so simple, except for three beds, it is almost a house with four walls. The thin man pressed the box under the pillow and patted it again, only to feel a little relieved. At this time, when he heard Zhang Chengdao's words, he turned his face around.

"Let's talk about the origin of this box first, I don't think you bought it, because judging by your expression, you don't know that there is a talisman in it." Zhang Chengdao said.

"The first time they asked me to look at the goods, the wine was in this box." The thin man recalled for a moment and said, "Could it be their habit to put talismans in the box, just in case?" "The thin man can't see the black gas, so although he is suspicious in his heart, the luck psychology still accounts for seven or eight points.

Zhang Chengdao thought for a while, and suddenly asked, "How much did you receive this set of drinking utensils?" ”

The thin man's face twitched slightly: "This is a trade secret, I, I。。。。。。 ”

"Okay, let's sleep, I'll catch my train tomorrow morning, you go deliver your goods, let's leave it at that." Zhang Chengdao said and lay down on the bed, with his legs crossed, and trembling slightly, with an expression that he was not afraid of what you would not say.

The thin man stretched out a finger and said, "This number." ”

"Ten thousand?"

"A million!" The thin man choked on the number Zhang Chengdao said, and coughed a few times before speaking.

Zhang Chengdao jumped up: "One million is still a low price, how much did you sell it?" ”

"Brother Zhang, it's not that I don't believe you, I really can't say this!" The expression on the thin man's face almost turned to pleading.

"At this price, it's really hard to tell whether the person who sold you the wine utensils knew that this thing was ominous, or whether he habitually put a talisman. Then let's talk about the buyers who won the bid and the buyers who didn't win the bid and wanted to grab the goods, right? Zhang Chengdao thought about it and said with a frown.

"The buyer with the highest bid, that is, the one who asked us to deliver the goods, is a local gentleman surnamed Qi. His family controls the majority of hotels in local tourist attractions. He is an unknown person on the Forbes list, but his financial resources are in no way inferior to any of them. According to legend, his family has some kind of relationship with the descendants of Ge Luofeng, so this time he wants to buy back this set of drinking utensils at any cost. The thin man said.

"Let's talk about the people who want to grab this set of drinking utensils. In fact, there were three bidders at that time, in addition to the Qi family, one of them was a family that relied on the Golden Triangle, do you understand when I say this? The thin man said, putting his hand to his mouth and making a sucking motion.

"The last one is a rich man from the United States, and legend has it that he is a big collector, and he has many subordinates in the country, and he can get involved in almost all underground auctions. As for the true origin, I really don't know. ”

"Those black T-shirts just now are the rich people in the United States? Isn't he afraid that people in the industry will boycott him when he does this? Zhang Chengdao touched his chin and asked, as the saying goes, each line is like a mountain, and he really doesn't understand the line of robbing tombs and selling stolen goods.

"What! You don't know whose person it is? I don't know who is going to rob you! They may also be from the Qi family! Isn't your delivery equivalent to a sheep in the mouth? Zhang Chengdao was speechless, he thought he knew less, but he didn't expect that this brother surnamed Ge didn't know much more than him, and he couldn't even tell what the name of the least buyer was, so he dared to break into someone's nest with something worth at least one million, this is not the standard to ask for money and die!

The thin man said helplessly: "Brother Zhang doesn't know, our industry rules are like this, the two sides only talk about the price and conditions, the less they know about the identity and origin, the better, the reason why we dare to bring things to the buyer is because the buyer doesn't know our information." And when we deliver something, they can't break the contract, otherwise no one will sell them anything in the future, because the results of transactions in this industry are very secret to outsiders, but almost transparent to insiders. The thin man explained.

"In other words, we only need to deliver the things and the money and goods are cleared, and the danger will be removed?" Zhang Chengdao couldn't understand the truth of this, so he had to ask the result.

"So to speak." The thin man affirmed.

"Well, there's a long way to go! Sleep, we'll have to go tomorrow. Zhang Chengdao fell down first as he spoke, but he faintly felt in his heart that he seemed to have forgotten something, but it didn't seem to be a big deal, so this thought just flashed in his mind and disappeared.

"Bell bell, bell bell." Zhang Chengdao's talisman hanging at the head of the bed suddenly sounded, and at the same time, a figure slowly penetrated into the room from outside the wall.

"Seitsu?" Zhang Chengdao sat up and asked in a low voice.

The figure did not answer, but reached out and touched under Ge Hongjun's pillow.

"Who are you?" Zhang Chengdao asked again, and as he spoke, he took out the detector and quickly refreshed it: three meters in the direction of twelve o'clock, the combat power is worth 400,000.

"400,000, it's a bit tricky." Zhang Chengdao thought about it, but he still opened the talisman box on his waist and took out a fire talisman.

At this time, the figure's hand had already touched the side of the thin man's pillow, and it was about to touch the metal box, and a red light suddenly flashed in front of the figure's hand, and the black smoke from the hand that the figure stretched out was rising, and at the same time, the figure quickly retracted his hand as if holding a soldering iron. At this time, the fire talisman thrown by Zhang Chengdao also arrived, and the sound hit the figure's chest, and a ball of flame burst out, burning in the figure's chest, billowing black mist came out, and the figure showed a painful look.
