Chapter 1: The Jade Key and the Starving Ghost

Next Chapter

In the early morning, the red sun has not risen.

After a good dream, I opened my eyes, and the familiar lock of my phone was opened, and two unread text messages came into my eyes.

Xiaomei: Long Xiaoyang, I hate you, you deceived my feelings, you are a big liar, I don't believe in love anymore!

Aunt Zhang: Xiaolong, why hasn't my sow conceived yet?

Looking at these two text messages, I couldn't laugh or cry.

I can understand the first text message, after all, I told Xiaomei last night that she is actually very beautiful, and the reason why she didn't find a boyfriend is that she hasn't met the right person yet.

But where did I think that an hour later, she would actually ask me to dinner and watch a movie. And also said that she likes me because only I understand her!

Well, I admit that I lied when I said she was pretty, and that's because I have a good heart, and I say so many insincere things just to build her self-confidence. Otherwise, I really don't know how to praise her.

This is obviously a misunderstanding on her part, about the legendary love, although I have not tasted it, but it is clear that there is no between us. I didn't expect her to be so misunderstood!

I wiped my cold sweat helplessly and vowed never to be a good person again!

And the second message, I'm really hard to understand!

"Why isn't the sow pregnant yet?"

What does this have to do with me!

What the hell does this have to do with me??

I'm sad .......

Although in our village, I rely on the old man and am slightly famous, but if the sow is not pregnant, it should be a matter of the boar! Do they think I still have that ability?

Well, it seems that I said something again!

At this moment, I feel guilty for my mistakes!

So, I resolutely walked to the mirror and snapped at the idiot inside: "I call you more mouthful, call you more mouthful!" ”

I feel the pleasure from the palm of my hand, and my mood is really much better, I usually do this, I can always find the exhaust port for the first time, I am such a cheerful and open-minded person......

A piece of news caught my attention!

Longyang County, where I am now located, had a murder a few nights ago.

The owner of an antique shop died mysteriously, and when his body was found, he was still lying in his car, covered in bruises and black! There are also a lot of black finger prints on the body. The medical examiner couldn't find out why

The cash and bank cards on this person's body were all there, but there was only one thing missing, that is, a pendant hanging around his neck, a jade key, and this jade key is said to have been handed down by his clan!

After the police investigation, it was discovered that this person's ancestor was a Taoist priest like me, and his ancestor was also from Maoshan orthodoxy!

It is said that this person was indeed a famous figure in the industry a few years ago, but for some reason he didn't wash his hands and turned to the right line to do antiques! But I don't want to die mysteriously after so many years!

Jade Key!!

I pulled out the pendant hanging from under my neck, and it was a jade key!

My father said that this was found by my grandfather when he was a child when he was fishing for the body of a deceased person in the Yellow River!

My father said that this key was a little ominous, because since I got it, my grandfather passed away in a few years, and before he died, he specially told my grandmother to pass on this thing, and asked him the specific reason He refused to say, just said that there is a master to guide him, and there will be cause and effect on his grandson!

Thinking of the particularity of my current body, I don't have the slightest doubt about this statement!

Because since the death of grandpa, there have been too many bizarre things one after another! Completely changed the fate of life! But in this case, even if you throw it away, it won't help!

Shaking his head, he stopped thinking about it, it was time to go to work.

After washing and going downstairs as usual, this house is rented by me, the suburbs, close to the botanical garden, the environment is very good, running to work has become a hobby.

At this time, an acquaintance happened to return, so I greeted him.

"Uncle Wang, why did you go so early?"

"Walking the dog!" He said

"Oh, why don't you see the dog?"

"I forgot to bring it!"

Well, if I didn't ask!

Morning exercise has always been my favorite sport, and I go to work on the way, I don't have to sit on the bus, as a trail, I have always followed the teachings of the old man, that is, my master, meditation, meditation, exercise, recitation...... No one can be left behind

Soon, when I arrived at LaCrosse Restaurant, this is where I work, I was in charge of playing lotus in the back kitchen, and I felt that the atmosphere was wrong, dignified and depressing......

The guys in the kitchen are basically there, the chef and the head chef are all there, the boss Guo Gangde is also here, and his son is standing next to him, handsome guy ~ Guo Shuai. All of them have stiff faces, like dead fathers!

"Hey, what's the situation, it looks like something's wrong! Because the battle in front of me was about to start a meeting," I silently walked to the side of the line.

Guo Gang has a fat head and big ears, for some reason, the original red light on his face has turned into the soy sauce color at this moment, and he spoke after sweeping his scrutinizing gaze: "Tell me what the hell is going on, what about the meat, what about the meat I bought last night?" Where did it go? ”

No one accosted me, one by one you look at me, I look at you, I express doubts.

Guo Gang saw that no one cared about him, raised his eyebrows and spoke again: "The elbows, ribs, beef, are all gone, they are all fucking gone, oh yes, and my Wang Ba, honestly, who took it!" ”

The head chef is a sleek person, usually good at flattery, and hurriedly answered at this moment: "Who was on duty yesterday, the last one to leave is the most suspicious." ”

"Brush." All eyes were on me.

I was stunned, what's the situation with this Nima, look at what I'm doing, could it be that I stole something? In my heart, I greeted the chef's whole family, this grandson......

Looking at their suspicious eyes, especially Guo Gang's expression that seemed to be a prisoner, how did I feel like I was really a thief!

No, I have to excuse myself, I haven't done such a thing as stealing chickens and touching dogs, I can't bear this charge for no reason, we can't afford to lose that person!

I rolled my eyes and said, "Don't look at me, I'm a cultivator, how could I do such a shameless thing!" Besides, isn't there a camera in the kitchen, don't you know how to turn it on? ”

Hearing me say this, everyone nodded, thinking it made sense, Guo Gang glanced at me, and it was not easy to say anything, and after a period of vigorous education in the back kitchen, the meeting was dismissed.

At about nine o'clock in the afternoon, the head chef came back and said that the camera was turned out, and it had nothing to do with the kitchen, and I was also cleared of suspicion! But strangely, there is no theft on the camera!

I didn't care, I thought it was over!

But who would have thought that this was just the beginning, and strange things continued in the next few days, even if the boss's son Guo Shuai personally supervised it, there was still one after another in the kitchen, and the meat was lost inexplicably, and the guests repeatedly reported that the food was tasteless and difficult to swallow!

Investigation of the camera revealed no footage related to the thief.

"It's weird!"

I vaguely feel that something is wrong, something is abnormal, there must be something in the kitchen, as a small way, I decided to find out!

At twelve o'clock in the evening, I sneaked to the kitchen from behind with my guys, because I was on duty, and the key was still in my hand, so I took out the key and prepared to open the door.

Suddenly, my shoulders were grabbed tightly, and suddenly, I jumped, and hurriedly turned around, but saw a familiar face, isn't it Guo Shuai, the boss's son!

"Hehe, it turns out that the thief is you, I caught it, see what else you have to say!" He looked at me coldly.

I breathed a sigh of relief and slapped his hand away, knowing that there was no explanation, so I said: "I didn't steal the thing, I also came to investigate, I don't believe you can enter with me and take a look!" ”

"You investigate, why should I believe you! It's not yours! What about liars! ”

"Don't you know that I'm a Taoist?" I asked

He looked at me with disdain, and was about to say something, when suddenly the sound of a heavy object falling on the ground in the kitchen interrupted our conversation!

"There's someone in there!" Guo Shuai snorted, and was about to rush in, but I grabbed him and said

"It's possible that it's not human!" I said

His body shook slightly, and his eyes widened, "Don't scare me!" ”

I said, "Follow me, don't be silent, I'll see who is sacred!" ”

Gently opened the door, I walked into the kitchen cautiously with my two cats bent on my waist, and suddenly, a yin qi rushed to my face, and I could feel Guo Shuai, who was close to me, shivering!

"Crunch...... Puff ......"

The strange sound came to my ears, like chewing, like swallowing! Through the refrigerator, the two of me slowly poked my head out to watch!

It was a baby-sized black monster, with a slender neck, a big belly, and an extremely ugly appearance, lying on the ground and eating the pieces of meat that had fallen from the refrigerator, and I could see it clearly by the light inside the refrigerator!

I said, it turned out to be a "starving ghost!" "I'm funny in my heart, this kind of ghost belongs to one of the thirty-six ghosts, and it has no mana, because it was starved to death before it was born, so it became a starving ghost, and it always wants to eat, and it can never be full, and the meat in the kitchen is in the stomach of this thing!

I'm not afraid, it doesn't mean that others are not afraid, Guo Shuai is still behind me!

Suddenly, a high pitch of more than 200 decibels sounded in my ears, and my eardrums were about to burst.

The little imp was frightened, and the green eyes looked at him, and he screamed angrily, and then there was a puff like we pounced.

Although this starving ghost doesn't have much mana, it is also a ghost, and it is naturally more than enough to deal with ordinary people!

It's a pity that he touched me, and I was prepared, before he could get close, the talisman that I had prepared in my hand suddenly burned, and the strength of my palm skyrocketed, and I grabbed the slender neck of this little ghost!

He struggled to bite me, where could I let him succeed, the other hand held him hard, it struggled, but could not be freed.

Where has Guo Shuai, the rich second generation, seen this, trembling behind me, and asked, "Is this...... This...... What the hell is this? ”

"Hungry ghost, everything in the kitchen is stolen by him, and the food has no taste because of him!" I said

"What a ghost? Aren't you a Taoist, hurry up and kill him! ”

"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable! God has the virtue of a good life, I can only transcend it, not kill it! ”

The old man often taught me to do more good deeds and accumulate more merits, and I naturally kept it in mind, so I bit my index finger, and the little devil was just a little bit up, and suddenly black smoke rose. At the same time, I recited the mantra of death.

Sneer...... The starving ghost screamed and struggled hard, but unfortunately with the blessing of the talisman, where could it escape.

There was not much time, the starving ghost quieted down, and a cloud of black gas slowly dissipated from its body, leaving a transparent shadow, apparently the soul of the person before it was alive, it was a child, it was obviously very happy, and it no longer had to suffer from hunger, and after bowing to me, it was reincarnated.

"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable!"

I let out a sigh, the power of the talisman faded like a tide, and I suddenly felt a strong feeling of weakness sweep through my whole body, who made me just a little Taoist with shallow mana?

At this time, I thought about the death of the antique shop owner again, and I wondered if there was a connection between the two! Because under normal circumstances, imps can't be seen, unless someone is behind them!
