When I arrived at Shanghai Fusong Asset Management Co., Ltd., it was almost noon. The sun in the sky was radiating a blazing light, and the sun felt a little hot on the face.

I looked up at the small villa in front of me and felt very surprised.

It stands to reason that in those days, ordinary small companies were in a building, but I didn't expect this financial company to work in a small villa, which seems to have a very good background. But think about it, Brother Long asked me to come to their boss Hu Lao Mo, indicating that I should have a good relationship with Brother Long.

At the door of this office villa, a middle-aged security guard stands. Seeing me walk in, the security guard stretched out his hand to stop me: "This gentleman, this is the company's office space, and only employees and invited people can enter." ”

Since I was stopped, I could only honestly report the name of the person who Brother Long asked me to come to: "This uncle, I came to find the boss of this company, called Hu Lao Mo." ”

"What a mess. Our boss's surname is Gu Mingyue, not the person you are looking for. I see that you are young, why do you seem to be finding fault? Hurry up or I'll call the police." The middle-aged uncle seemed to be very vigilant.

What a ****** situation!

I think I am a strong man among the younger generation, but I am helpless against an ordinary middle-aged security guard. There seems to be no other way than to shake your head in frustration.

Just when I didn't know what to do, suddenly a voice sounded behind me.

"Who is looking for Old Demon Hu?" The voice is deep, calm, and quite magnetic, which makes people sound more reassuring.

I turned around and saw the appearance of the man. He is about 1.8 meters tall, burly, wearing a dark blue suit and trousers, and has the style of a business person. A Chinese face, which looks quite righteous, has a big flesh pendant under the ears, inexplicably gives me a feeling of Buddhism, the facial features are still relatively delicate, but the eyes flash from time to time with a sharp light that is not easy to detect.

Seeing this burly man in a suit appear, the middle-aged security guard who was a little arrogant in his way hurriedly nodded to him: "Mr. Gu, are you here?" Just now there was a young thug making noise at the door. It's okay though, I'll fix it. ”

The burly man in the suit just nodded at him, and then turned to look at me: "Are you looking for Hu Lao Mo?" Who told you to come to find it. ”

I already have a hunch that the person in front of me is probably the person that Brother Long asked me to find. So I spoke: "That's right, my name is Jiang Ming, and the Hundred Miles Crazy Dragon asked me to come to Hu Lao Mo." ”

Since Brother Long can trust this person in front of him so much, I think I can directly report my real name.

Sure enough, I saw a flash of shock and joy in his eyes, and then coughed lightly: "Okay, you can follow me into the company first, and talk to me in the office." With that, he led me towards the villa. The middle-aged security guard with a stunned expression was left behind, and he didn't know how to let it go.

I followed the old demon into the company, passed through the employee's workstation, and went directly to his office. Closing the door, he carefully closed the curtains, and seemed to appear very vigilant. At this moment. The expression on his face was not as relaxed as before outside the door, but changed to solemnity, looked at me and said, "You should prove that you are Jiang Ming, and it was Brother Long who asked you to come to me." ”

It's really careful enough, it seems that it is not unreasonable for Brother Long to trust him so much.

The martial arts qi and blood in my body flowed, and a stream of qi and blood came out of my body, forming a faint dragon shape above my head, grinning at this old demon with bared teeth. This is a bad taste of mine, because I didn't feel the power fluctuations belonging to the spirit realm in Hu Lao Mo's body, and I think he should be invisible.

"Well, the martial arts qi and blood are formed through the body, and it spirals up in the shape of a dragon, it is really Brother Long's disciple Yes, and there are spiritual power fluctuations of the designer of the dark banknote, it should indeed be Brother Jiang Ming, haha." Old Demon Hu's solemn expression disappeared, revealing a relaxed smile.

I looked a little embarrassed, but I felt a little strange in my heart, this old demon Hu obviously looked like an ordinary person, even if I released my martial arts qi and blood, he could feel that burning and blazing feeling at most, how could he see the specific form?

He seemed to see through my thoughts, and said with a slight smile: "Although I don't know any Xuanmen spells now, I am born with yin and yang eyes, so most of the supernatural things can be seen." I saw the dragon shape of the martial arts qi and blood circling around your head. ”

I quickly diverted the topic: "Old Demon Brother, since Brother Long asked me to come to you, it means that you are a very trustworthy person." I'm not polite, when are we going to leave for Hunan? ”

"It's okay now, when I pack some clothes and bring some money, I will ask the secretary to drive us to the airport and buy the nearest flight to Changsha." Hu Lao Mo said very decisively, without the slightest bit of mud and water.

I'm a little surprised, after all, he is also the CEO of a company, although he may have a deep intersection with the supernatural circle, but just go, don't you need to take care of the company's affairs?

Perhaps seeing my doubts, Hu Lao Mo opened the cabinet with his hand, took out a bottle of liquor from it and began to drink it while saying to me: "The company's affairs are all small things, life is in the world, money is outside the body, and the most important thing is to be able to do something meaningful." Over the years, I have been helping Brother Long and them deal with some mundane things, and I have already made all kinds of preparations. ”

Since he said so, I also kept silent, sat on the sofa to rest, and watched Hu Laomo command his secretaries to pack all kinds of clothes and prepare passbooks and cash. I guess the secretary took me as the son of a successful business person and came to talk about business with Hu Laomo.

It didn't take long for Hu Lao Mo to prepare everything, and the secretary drove us to the airport.

In the car, Hu Laomo suddenly handed me a tightly wrapped thing in a tarpaulin, boxy, a bit like a small box, and quite heavy.

"What is this?"

He didn't answer, but whispered to me, "Put it away first, and you'll know what it is later, and it will be of great use." ”

I was puzzled by his mysterious appearance, but since they meant to let me not look at it first, I couldn't be too ignorant of etiquette, so I could only nod and put it away. The car drove all the way to the airport.

Shanghai...... This glitzy Oriental magic capital, I didn't have time to fully appreciate its true prosperity and luxury, and I left this place again. I don't know when I'll be back......

When the plane landed at Changsha Airport, it was already evening, and the sun was setting, smearing the surrounding scenery with a layer of golden yellow, which seemed a little unreal.

This is Changsha, Hunan, and it's not the first time I've been here. I remember when I was young, I fled from Lianghe Town with Brother Long, all the way from Sichuan to Northeast China by car, passing through Changsha in the middle, but I only stayed here for one night at that time, and I had almost no idea.

"Where are we going to find Brother Long now?"

Hu Laomo and I carried suitcases and walked on the bustling streets of Changsha, and we didn't seem to have any sense of direction.

Old Demon Hu smiled: "Don't worry, just follow me." Brother Long has been here a lot in the past few years, and I usually come with him. ”

What the? In recent years, Brother Long has often come to Hunan? How did I not know?

Hearing Hu Laomo say this, I was a little stunned, I didn't expect that there would be such a situation. No wonder when he was in Harbin before, every once in a while, Brother Long always had to go out, and he didn't see anyone for a few days, it turned out that he didn't meet his friends in the Northeast, but came to Hunan?

The old devil walked with me for a while, and I actually walked from the bustling street to a remote and quiet alley area. This one is somewhat similar to what is now called an urban village. At that time, urban renewal had begun to gradually take off, so there were many high-rise buildings under construction around it.

After walking through this narrow alley for a while, I came to a fairly spacious street. It's just on this street...... The pitiful lack of pedestrians and vehicles gives it a quirky feel.

Obviously there is a busy construction site not far from this street, but it is quiet and a little scary, as if it has been isolated from this normal world!

At first, I had already secretly used my spiritual power to perceive the surroundings, but I didn't find any evil or strange existence, and there was no formation or anything like that.

Hu Lao Mo noticed my surprise and looked at me with a smile: "What? Think this place is weird, don't you? When Brother Long first brought me here, I was much more surprised than you. After all, you are still a member of Xuanmen Taoism, and I was an ordinary young man at that time. Ha ha. ”

"And what the hell is this place?" I asked him, confused.

"Have you ever heard of Xiangxi chasing corpses?" Hu Lao Mo asked me suddenly.

I nodded: "I've heard of it." Xiangxi drove out corpses, which has existed since ancient times, and has a very great reputation among the people. Although it is said that Xiangxi expelling corpses is not orthodox, it is also inextricably linked with Xuanmen Taoism, and it is a secret art inherited by the people themselves. ”

"That's right, there has been a custom of driving corpses in Xiangxi since ancient times. It's just that Brother Long once guessed that this spell was likely to come from the Maoshan lineage. "Although Hu Lao Mo is not exactly a member of Xuanmen Taoism, he knows more about these histories and origins than I do.

It is said that in the mountainous areas of Xiangxi, when someone died, his relatives and friends went to hire a mage to drive the corpse back to his hometown. When the corpse chaser comes to the mortuary, he will first check the birth date and death taboo of the deceased to see if there is any conflict with his own eight characters, and then he will chant a mantra next to the corpse, and while chanting the mantra, he will insert the mahogany sword in his hand into the wooden board where the corpse is parked. If the peachwood sword comes in, it means that the corpse is willing to accept the mage's orders, and the mage is willing to accept the offer to drive the corpse.

But if the peachwood sword repeatedly failed to penetrate or suddenly broke, the mage immediately turned around and left. Because this means that the corpse refuses to obey his orders, and it is likely that something will happen on the way, so even if the price is higher, the corpse chaser will not agree to drive the corpse.

If the corpse chaser agrees to drive the corpse, it is generally to rest during the day and travel at night. And the place where they live on the way to the corpse is also particular, and they can't live in an ordinary hotel, but live in a special kind of corpse inn......

But...... Why did Hu Lao Mo suddenly tell me about this? What does this have to do with us? Could it be ......

"What we're going to now is a corpse inn. Just in front, it is the largest gathering place for corpse chasers and a transfer station for dead bodies in the entire Hunan region. Hu Lao Mo said lightly. (To be continued.) )
