"You... You guys..."

Boss Cao's body trembled a little, staring at us in surprise. Old Man Yang and I, one after the other, took off our glasses.

"What's wrong with us?" I said.

"You... This..."

Boss Cao wanted to retreat, but suddenly he didn't know what he thought, he must have turned around, patted his chest, narrowed his eyes, and let out a long breath.

I said to my heart, what kind of medicine is this bastard selling in his gourd? Looking at Old Man Yang, he was also full of doubts and waved his hand at me.

"Scare me," said Boss Cao, "are you all right?" ”

"What's the matter?" I asked.

Boss Cao asked me rhetorically, "Are you Secretary Leng?" ”

I was stunned, "yes, what's wrong?" ”

Boss Cao didn't answer, tilted his head slightly, "Are you Boss Yang?" ”

"It's me." Old man Yang said.

"Thank God..."Boss Cao slapped his hand on the thigh, "You two collided with evil before, do you know?" ”

I furrowed my eyebrows, "Hit the evil? ”

"Yes, you spent the night in my friend's villa, and you didn't know what you bumped into. In the morning, I went over to call you, and after I found out, I was very anxious, my friend said that he knew a mage and was good at exorcism..."Boss Cao stroked a circle with his hand, "No, after asking the address, I will bring you over, I didn't expect that you will be better by yourself, thank God... I said you are really..."Boss Cao pointed to the bag I was carrying, "Such a valuable thing, just throw it into the room, fortunately it is me, if you meet a person who forgets his righteousness, he pulls you to a place where no one is around, and throws it away, and takes this bronze man for himself, what should I do?" … Secretary Leng opened the bag and took a look, but I didn't touch someone..."

I said in my heart, this bastard is not ordinary cunning, don't rush to expose him first...

"No need to open it, we can trust Boss Cao..."I looked around and asked, "What about the mage?" ”

"I don't know, it doesn't seem to be at home..."Boss Cao turned his head and called towards the room, "Master Chen... It's really weird, the door is open at home, why is there no one? …”

As I spoke, I was about to walk towards the door of the house, but I hurriedly stopped him.

"Wait..."

Why did I stop this Boss Cao from entering the house, because from the moment I entered this backyard, I felt a little strange, it was too quiet here, and I felt uneasy. The closer I got to the house in the backyard, the stronger the feeling of uneasiness became, and I finally realized that there were 'ghosts' in this house...

When we tracked down Wanjin Mountain before, the people with clues on their bodies basically checked one by one, and the one called 'Ding Ziguo' would have died if we hadn't been in front of Wanjin Mountain... Right now, this Boss Cao has clues that are useful to us, if he rashly enters this house and dies, it will not do us any good...

"What's wrong?"

Boss Cao stopped and asked suspiciously.

"That's... That's right, Boss Cao. I said, "Actually, I can do some spells..."

"You too... Spell? ”

"Hmm." I nodded, "I was too tired yesterday, and after a few more drinks, I fell asleep as soon as I fell into bed, otherwise, I shouldn't have hit any evil..." Big boss, I'm really sorry, I'm not a secretary and bodyguard, I'm not competent enough..."

"It's no wonder you..."The old man smiled and said to Boss Cao, "Since Boss Cao is such a real person, I will also say it bluntly, this bronze man was dug out of the ground by myself back then, I used to be a tomb robber, and then I changed careers and whitewashed myself." However, because I have been dealing with ancient tombs when I was young, my physique is a little cold, and when I get older, I am easy to be washed away by unclean things. This young man knows how to do sorcery, and I paid a lot of money to help me ward off evil spirits..."

Boss Cao looked confused, and looked at me and Old Man Yang in a daze.

I was secretly amused.

"Xiao Leng."

"Huh?" I bowed, "What does the boss command?" ”

"Looks like the things that hit us last night should have been lured by me. As the saying goes, if you often walk by the river, how can you not get your shoes wet? You were just greedy for a few glasses of wine, plus you were tired all the way, and you were negligent for a while, so it caused us to be put on the body. Anyway, isn't this evil thing still being driven away by you? So, don't get too angry, boss, I won't blame you..."

"Yes, yes, thank you boss for your generosity..."

"Anyway..."Old Man Yang arched his hand, "I still want to thank Boss Cao, for his kindness and hard work, leading us here and finding someone to exorcise evil spirits for us..."

This Boss Cao didn't grow up eating dry rice, for what we sang and answered just now, his face was suspicious, and he barely squeezed a smile, and said, "Boss Yang is polite... In this case, Cao Mou, I really did this too much, I originally thought, the two of you are sober, it's just temporary, as for going to the evil root, you have to rely on this mage, now it seems that there is no need, it turns out that Secretary Leng knows how to spell himself, and the evil root is removed, let's go, go back to the restaurant, I will give the two of you a shock..."

I thought to myself, this bastard sees that the momentum is not right.

"Since you're here, it's okay to meet this mage..."Old Man Yang smiled, "If he really has the ability, I will hire him with a high salary and be with Xiao Leng as his companion." Anyway, Xiao Leng..."Old Man Yang suddenly changed his words and pointed to the house, "Why did you stop Boss Cao from entering this house twice?" ”

"I think this house is a little weird, maybe there's something unclean..."

Old Man Yang and Boss Cao were stunned at the same time.

"As soon as our own evil was eliminated just now, I felt it..."

The old man came back to his senses, "Boss Cao, have you told anyone else about this bronze man?" ”

"Nope."

"That's good..."Old Man Yang said in a deep voice, "Everyone wants such a valuable thing, not everyone is like Boss Cao, who does not forget his righteousness when he sees wealth." I'm worried, people's hearts are separated from their stomachs, and your friend who opened the villa asked you to take us here to meet this mage, maybe he took a fancy to this bronze man and joined forces with this mage to kill the three of us... I hope that I will spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain..."

I secretly praised in my heart, what a sow discord, and suddenly I thought again, what the old man said is not exactly sowing discord, it is groundless... I thought of last night, after Boss Cao left, the burly man looked triumphant when he listened to Sichuan opera... And the mage's residence is obviously open, but there is no one, but there seems to be a 'ghost' in the house in the backyard... Could it be that for the sake of this bronze man, they really want to fight in the nest? …

Boss Cao listened to Old Man Yang's words, his face changed suddenly, looking at the situation, he also thought of this layer... I said in my heart, even if they are not fighting in the nest, they will also pick them to fight in the nest, so that it will be beneficial to us...

"It's hard to say," I said, "boss, I'll have the courage to interject." ”

"Although I said, I said yesterday that Boss Cao is not an outsider, and if there is no outsider, I don't have to be so restrained."

"Well... As the saying goes, be careful to sail a boat for ten thousand years, you can't hurt people, but you can't have the heart to guard against people..."I said with a sincere face, "Boss Cao is such a good person, take us here to exorcise evil spirits, don't fall for the villain's tricks, and end up with a good person who has no reward." If it's really Boss Cao's friend and this mage who join forces to harm him and us, we can leave with a slap on the ass, but Boss Cao and his friend will be in a long-term situation, this time it won't work, maybe there will be a next time in the future..."

"That's right."

"So I think we have to help Boss Cao find out the truth... I'll see what's in this room first, two bosses, please step back first..."

That Boss Cao listened to me and Mr. Yang sing and answer, and broke out in a cold sweat. Hearing me say this, he hurriedly wiped it with his hand, and stepped aside without saying a word.

The door of the house was closed, and I cautiously came to the door, and looked through the crack in the door, and it was so dark that I couldn't see anything clearly. I straightened up, thought of the window, and was about to leave, when I lowered my head and saw what seemed to be something under the crack in the door on the left...

The house had no threshold, and when the two wooden doors were closed, there was a finger's wide gap between them and the ground...

I crouched down to take a closer look, and it looked like it was a shoelace. I thought about it, took two steps back, lowered my head, and looked through the crack in the door, and I saw a foot horizontally...

My heart is beating wildly, is there a person standing behind this door? What is this man doing standing on his side, against the door? …

I held my breath, stood up a little bit, took two steps back, sank the soles of my feet, and kicked them abruptly. As the door opened, a basin of water poured down. If I hadn't been prepared and hid quickly, I would have been drenched...

As soon as the water was finished, I felt an aura of femininity in the room. When I pulled out a magic weapon and rushed into the house, the aura disappeared. I smelled a strange smell in my nose, from the water on the ground, and I don't know what was mixed in it...

Not far from me, there was a shoe upside down, and not far from the shoe lay a piece of rune paper wet with water...

"Two bosses, come in, it's okay..."

When he came to the house, Old Man Yang said, "Could it be that this mage just wants to drench Boss Cao with water when he comes in?" It's a trick I used to play when I was a kid..."

I shook my head, crouched on the ground and studied it carefully, and said, "I see what's going on..."

"What's going on?" Both asked at the same time.

I pointed to the ground, "This mage, set up a mechanism, wait for Boss Cao to take the bait." In this shoe, a dead ghost was originally covered with rune paper, and when Boss Cao pushed the door, the shoe would tip over and the dead ghost would be released, and at the same time, water would fall and pour on Boss Cao. When a person is suddenly frightened by a cold, a large amount of yang energy will leak out in an instant, and it is easy to be caught by ghosts.

"Now, what about the dead ghosts?" Old Man Yang asked.

"Ran away..."

I said in my heart, although this trick seems a little naïve, but it is foolproof, if I hadn't sensed the situation in advance, this Boss Cao would have been put on the body...

"It seems that I expected it right, Boss Cao's friend, and this mage, joined forces to harm him." Old man Yang said.

I nodded. Boss Cao glared angrily at the ground with two eyes and without saying a word.

"Xiao Leng, Boss Cao is such a good person, you have to find a way to help him." Old man Yang said.

"Don't worry, boss, I'll figure it out, but..."

"What?"

"It depends on whether Boss Cao is willing to cooperate with us, whether he is willing to let us help..."

"Okay..."Boss Cao interrupted me, sat down on the ground, and said dejectedly, "No more acting..."

"Acting?" I asked.

"Hmm." Boss Cao nodded, "You two didn't collide with evil at all, from the beginning, you were pretending." ”

"Hehe..."

Old Man Yang and I smiled at each other and said, "Since that's the case, then let's get straight to the point, that's right, we are indeed pretending." A human-faced and animal-hearted person like you, using three indiscriminate means to steal other people's things, I can't wait for you to die as soon as possible, the reason why I stopped you just now and didn't let you in was not to save you with kindness... Let's be honest, we're not looking for you to sell antiques, but for something else. ”

"What's the matter?"

"About, that Xiao Shan's matter."

Boss Cao nodded, "I felt a little strange when I heard you mention him yesterday. ”

"Let's make a deal."

"What?"

"The trick that your friend and this mage colluded to play was discovered by you, and if they want to live a peaceful life in the future, then naturally they will not allow you to live in this world. As long as you tell us everything about Xiaoshan and what you know, I will help you deal with them. Of course, if you can't trust me, I can show you a few hands..."

Boss Cao thought for a while and said, "Don't try it, if you don't have any skills, you will be topped last night." ”

I smiled, "You are also a smart person, so, are you willing to say anything about Xiaoshan?" ”

Boss Cao nodded.

"Okay, let me ask you, are you very familiar with Xiao Shan?"

"It's okay."

"I'll ask you again," I said, staring at him, "many years ago, did you and Xiao Shan join forces and install a Sichuan mage next to a Shandong man surnamed Wan?" ”

"A Shandong native with the surname Wan?" Boss Cao raised his eyes and looked at me.

"Yes."

"I don't know such a person..."

I bit my lip, feeling disappointed.

"However, there is a mage in Shandong, our Sichuan, I know..."

"Oh?" I'm in the spirit again.

"I don't know exactly where that person came from, I only know that this Master Chen's skills were taught by that person, and the two of them are very familiar with my friend, and they are not too familiar with me."

"Your friend?"

"Yes, it's the one who opened the villa."

I said in my heart, when Xiao Shan brought Wanjin Mountain to Sichuan, the person who introduced him to him, since it was not this Boss Cao, then it may be his friend, the 'burly man' in the villa...

"That mage, does he come over often?" I asked.

"Rarely, every time he comes, my friend invites him to dinner, and occasionally calls me up."

"Did he come by himself?" I asked.

"Yes, but..."

"But what?"

"I remember—" Boss Cao closed his eyes and thought about it, "In the nineties... Yes, that's right, it's the nineties. That mage brought a Shandong man. ”

"What does that guy look like?"

"Look... It's quite tall anyway, to be specific, I've only seen it once, I can't remember it clearly, I just remember that the person seems to be surnamed Ling..."
