After the ceremony, back in the city, I made an appointment to talk to Xie Nanhua. to his office. Xie Nanhua looked a little haggard. He told me that he couldn't figure out why this was happening. I knew that he still didn't know a lot of inside things, so I told him the story about the two soul refining beads to learn about Nanhua.

After Xie Nanhua listened, he was silent for a long time, he lay on the boss's chair, rubbed his face tiredly, and said, "Luo Dao, you go first, I want to be quiet." ”

Coming out of the office building, the sky was dark. The dark clouds are rolling, today is the second day of the Lunar New Year, it should be a family reunion, and it was a lively New Year, but I didn't expect such a thing to happen.

I walked slowly towards my home, and it began to snow, silently falling countless snow flakes.

When I got home, I just opened the door, and when I walked in, I realized that something was wrong. On the sofa in the living room, there is a person sitting watching TV with a remote control.

As soon as I saw him. I blew up all of a sudden, I'm damn it, untie the bell!

I rubbed my eyes, I couldn't believe my eyes. The sky was dark, the living room was also backlit, the room was very dark, and the whole person was in color, and only the silhouette of the face could be seen.

"Unraveling?"

He looked back at me with a smile on his face, and that familiar smile was Xie Ling.

I walked over and sat down next to him. Glance at the top and the bottom: "You...... Aren't you the end of the world? ”

Xie Ling smiled: "With such a big grievance, how can I just run away like this, it's not my character." If I don't get things straight, I won't be able to escape the arrest of the underworld anywhere. "gě has been updated

"They said you committed the three major crimes, and I participated in the Chaoyang Temple just now......" I hesitated to stop talking.

Xie Ling said: "You have been expelled from the eight generals, right?" I know. ”

"Someone sued you?" I asked.

Xie Ling smiled: "Who doesn't have a friend who is old and young." Luo Dao, I know why I found you at this time. ”

I shook my head.

Xie Ling turned off the TV with the remote control and said, "What happened this time is big and big for me, and small and small." I am worthy of my conscience and creed, there must be misunderstandings in it, and there are also petty plots. Looking for you, it's to give you a chance to experience. Just a little promise from my empty master to your apprentice. ”

I laughed: "You master didn't teach me anything, so I'll take my apprentice to give you the top cylinder first." ”

Xie Ling smiled. Didn't speak.

I pulled out my phone from my pocket and threw it on the coffee table. Untie the bell and take a look, a number is displayed on the phone, which is Lu Wuge's.

"What do you mean?" He asked.

I got up from the sofa and pulled a chair next to him and sat opposite him: "Xie Ling, now your mother-in-law says that your mother-in-law is reasonable, and the public says that it is justified, who do I believe?" You let me help you. OK. But you first convinced me to believe in you. If I don't listen to it satisfactorily, although I won't report it to Lu Lao Wu, you don't want me to help you. ”

"Yo-hee." Xie Ling cocked Erlang's legs: "It's a little interesting." Well, you ask, I know everything. ”

I thought for a while and said, "Where is Lin Wenmei's Soul Refining Bead?" ”

"I'm still here." Xie Ling said calmly: "I lied, I didn't send it back to the underworld. ”

I trembled and said, "Malaysia's goddess and Lao Meng, you also killed them?" ”

Xie Ling was inexplicable: "What are you talking about?" I don't understand a word. ”

Seeing that he didn't look like a fake, I told the story of going to Malaysia with the copper lock Pan Dayong and others. Xie Ling frowned and tapped his fingers on his knees.

"Luo Dao, do you know why I left Lin Wenmei's Soul Refining Bead?" He asked.

"Why?"

"There are three soul refining beads in total. You basically know what it is, but it also has a function that most people don't know. ”

I looked at him.

Xie Ling said: "The three soul refining beads are three colors, respectively, green and gold, and they can sense each other's existence zài. The reason why I left this green bead is to find the two missing ones. At that time, you asked me, I didn't want to get you involved in this whirlpool, so I casually lied and said that I was sent back to the underworld, but in fact, the green bead is still with me. ”

"Who is the evil god who stole the gold beads?" I asked.

Xie Ling thought about it and shook his head: "I don't know, the clues are very messy." Listening to your description, Lao Meng has been practicing silently, and that goddess is not an ordinary person. To be able to kill both of them in such a short time at night and steal the gold beads, this person's skill is not trivial. But there are too many such people, not only are there many folk gods in our mainland, but there are also hidden dragons and crouching tigers in Southeast Asia, and there are many suspects. ”

"Lu Lao Wu once said that the person who steals the gold bead has several characteristics: he has a relationship with us, has mana, and knows the inside story...... He said there was no one but you. I stared into the eyes of the bell.

Xie Ling said: "I listened to you about the matter of Jin Zhu, but can you guarantee that Tong Suo and Pan Dayong will not spread the matter?" If you think about it, the whole thing is inexplicable, unfathomable, and there are too many details of the loopholes. This matter has to be investigated slowly. In fact, before the gold bead, I already knew the whereabouts of the bead, and I have been tracking this line. ”

"Where's the bead?" I asked.

Xie Ling said: "This is going to start with my first major sin, the ghost and the gills." The whereabouts of the beads, he knows. ”

"What the hell is the gills of?" I asked.

When I heard the story, I was stunned, the story of the gills is really legendary.

There are ten ghosts in the underworld, and they are ranked in no particular order, according to the order of reporting to the underworld, that is, the time of death. The gills are ranked fifth, who was this person before his death, and how he died, no one knows, I'm afraid this secret is only known to Lord Yama.

As a ghost, there is a very important function, which is to lead the ghost of the dying person from the yang world to the underworld.

The gills are in charge of this work, but unlike the other ghosts, it has a special Yin Soul that reaches the Yang Realm. It is responsible for the death of influential people in the world, or a generation of emperors, or thieves, or monks, or princes.

When did the gills escape from the underworld, it can be traced back to June 1864, when the capital of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, Tianjing City, was broken. The so-called Tianjing is now Nanjing, and the task of the gills at that time was to go to the yang world to receive the ghost of Hong Xiuquan, the king of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. After the gills of the fish went, they did not lead Hong Xiuquan's yin soul to the underworld, but disappeared without a trace, and their whereabouts have been unknown since then, and the world has evaporated.

What happened in between, no one knows.

Ghosts, who can communicate yin and yang, and master the secrets of life and death, such ghosts are definitely a huge hidden danger when they mix into the world. In the following years, there were many rumors of fish gills, and it is said that it kills people like hemp in the world, especially in war and famine years.

It's been a long time since I wanted this ghost in the underworld, but I just can't catch it. It is elusive, rampant, and the more chaotic the world, the happier it is. It is said that later it rarely killed people with its own hands, but blended into the palace to confuse those in power and confuse the world. The turmoil in China in the 20th century has not stopped for a hundred years, and it is said that it has a share of responsibility.

"Do you know this gills?" I say.

Xie Ling nodded: "Not only do I know each other, but I am also a friend." ”

He groaned for a moment and said, "I haven't known the gills for a long time, and I don't know much about its history, but I believe that it is not a big traitor, and rumors are rumors after all." I first found it because I sensed the location of the bead, but I didn't expect it to be tracking the bead as well. Later, the second uncle ordered me to catch the gills, and when I was taking it away, I hesitated and let it go. ”

"Do you regret it?" I asked.

Xie Ling looked at the dim sky outside: "I did it, I never regretted it." The current notoriety is my own responsibility, and it has nothing to do with anyone else. ”

"So what do we do now?"

Xie Ling muttered: "After you finish talking about the Malay matter, we have to find out who stole the gold beads." This is not only my business, but also the responsibility of the gills, we must unite a force that can be united, and go to it first. ”

"But how do you get there? The underworld has sown dark flowers and wants you. ”

Xie Ling was about to say something, when the door slammed, and we looked at each other. Jieling made a gesture not to panic, and I shouted, "Who?" ”

Erlong's voice came from outside: "Brother Luo, it's me Erlong, open the door, Fifth Brother Lu has to let me lead him to you to recognize the door." ”

Xie Ling sat in the dark sofa and did not speak, and I was in a dilemma.

Lu Lao Wu's voice came: "Luo Dao, hurry up and open the door, is it possible that the golden house is hidden in Jiao, or is the bell in it?" ”

Xie Ling said softly, "Open the door." ”

I took a deep breath, slowly walked to the door, slowly opened the door, and in the dim staircase corridor, there were Erlong and Lu Wuge.

I looked at the fat man in front of me, I couldn't say I was bored, and frowned: "Why are you still ghosted?" ”

"Why, won't let us in?"

I hesitated, there must be a way to unlock the bell and let me open the door. I dodged out of the way and let the two of them in. My heart was pounding, and I looked back, and there was no sign of the bell on the couch.

Fifth Brother Lu walked into the hall, looked at it, and sighed. The hall is not big, the sofa TV plus a dining table, I live here as a bachelor, and the smell in the house is not very good. Fifth Brother Lu looked around and said, "There are guests at home?" Let's come out together. ”

"Whatever guest comes, it's just me." My voice was a little unnatural, this old boy's eyes were so poisonous, how did he know.

Fifth Brother Lu said: "Just yourself? Why did you pull the chair across from the couch? Who were you talking to face-to-face? ”;

Those things in the underworld
