Zhao Shouquan saw that I was curious about the Afterlife Pavilion, a subtle smile leaked from the corner of his mouth, he picked up a cigarette and handed me another one, I wanted to refuse but when I thought that I might die tomorrow, I still took it in my hand.

He pulled out a lighter and lit it, and the flames scorched the cigarette butt in my mouth, and I tried to take a puff, full of spicy and uncontrollable coughing.

"Suck it slowly, just get used to it." Zhao Shouquan puffed in the smoke, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he seemed to enjoy it.

I looked at him and thought to myself, is this really that good? So I tried to inhale again, and the thick smoke poured into my lungs, and the spicy became full.

"The Pavilion of the Dead can be said to be the most secret place in the Peony Market, the outside is simple and the inside is hidden, and there are all kinds of people who do not belong to ordinary life, there are Taoist priests, monks, Western missionaries, and shady things, ghosts and demons, in other words, they are two types of things that will kill each other desperately when they meet outside, but they must maintain a delicate balance in the Death Pavilion." Zhao Shouquan smiled bitterly, "We are slaves of money, we are the palms of desire, except for interests in the Afterlife Pavilion, there is no bullshit worth mentioning." ”

His words were vague, and I seemed to understand them, but not all of them, and asked, "You mean, you're in it for the money?" ”

"Not only that, the squalor of the Afterlife Pavilion is something you can't imagine, of course, you may not be able to touch that level in your lifetime, I just want to give you a job."

"What's the job?"

"You'll find out when you go."

I pouted and didn't ask, Zhao Shouquan said that the Death Pavilion was worthless, but this aroused my curiosity even more, I have never left the village since I was a child, I just saw the outside world through TV and images, and the yearning in my heart is something that ordinary people can't understand. Moreover, with the way I am now, if I go to a normal place, I am afraid that no one will want me, and the Afterlife Pavilion will be the best choice to take me in.

The sky outside the window gradually brightened, and I had a sense of anxiety in my heart, thinking of Wang Laosi who was taken away, and asked Zhao Shouquan about the cause and effect.

Zhao Shouquan said that after he left, he went to make a record with Tiger and Sister Xiaorou, and by the way, he learned about the process of the matter, which happened to coincide with what Liu Daxian had said. Things have to start from eighteen years ago, Wang Laosi's mother-in-law is not his original match, Xiaosi was born to Wang Laosi's original mother-in-law, but he died in childbirth during childbirth, and later Wang Laosi married back the current mother-in-law from the county.

That year happened to be the time of the flood, I was taken to the village by a mysterious woman, and when everyone in the village was about to burn me, it was Wang Laosi, the village chief and my mother-in-law who saved my life. At that time, the fourth child was only three or four years old, frail and sickly, Wang Laosi was afraid that the child would not live long, so he wanted to adopt me, but Wang Laosi's bride disagreed, thinking that I was a demon seed, and then I was asked by my mother-in-law to go.

Wang Laosi is a well-known good person in the village, and he treats people very gently, and the people in the village have avoided my family for so many years, only he has nothing to do, so he asked the village chief to send me and my mother-in-law some food and use.

As the old saying goes, people are good at being bullied, horses are good at being ridden, although Wang Laosi is kind, but his mother-in-law and children are not very good to him, and his mother-in-law gambles and loses the family's money, and quarrels with Wang Laosi when he has nothing to do, scolding him for not being able to do it. And the village was also full of gossip about his mother-in-law, saying that when Wang Laosi was working in the field, he had seen several gentlemen quietly enter Wang Laosi's house, and they stayed for an hour or two.

Wang Laosi didn't believe these words, until his mother-in-law died of illness a few days ago, he was going to invite Liu Daxian with the village chief, but he said to others that his mother-in-law was sick and didn't go, but the truth was not the case.

That night, Wang Laosi discussed the funeral for his mother-in-law at the village chief's house, and when he left, he was going back to pick up clothes because of the strong wind, and when he arrived at the door of the house, he heard a faint moaning and groaning from inside.

He remembered the gossip in the village, and quietly looked in through the window, only to find that it was his own son who was lying on his mother-in-law!

Wang Laosi was crazy at that time, picked up the guy and rushed into the house and dragged Xiaosi down, Xiaosi didn't panic when he saw that his father found out, but fought with Wang Laosi, and shouted in his mouth, "She wasn't my own mother in the first place, you're too old, what's wrong with letting your son play?" ”

Hearing this, Wang Laosi turned around and ran into the kitchen and picked up the kitchen knife, and Xiaosi grabbed his clothes and escaped when he saw that something was wrong.

Maybe it was because he heard about my family's coffin of the old tree and knew that he couldn't stay in the village, so he thought about pulling some good things before leaving, but he didn't expect to be killed alive by the female ghost in the coffin.

That night, he sat alone at the door of the house, smoked a whole bag of cigarettes, and when he found out that Xiaosi was dead the next day, he grabbed the village chief's pants at the door of my house and shouted, "You have to make the decision for me", which was not actually referring to his son's death, but to the shame of the family.

And his mother-in-law was completely acting at the time, in order to cover up what happened that night.

Later, the village chief learned about this and persuaded Wang Laosi for a long time, but what Wang Laosi thought of was that he hoped that I could leave the village with Zhao Shouquan, and the matter of female ghosts was in an uproar, and sooner or later I would become the target of public criticism.

After going back, Wang Laosi and his mother-in-law have not spoken, he has thought about divorce, but there is nothing left.

That night, while his mother-in-law was asleep, the anger that had been accumulated in his heart for a long time burst out, and he was ruthlessly killed.

After the killing, he disguised himself as hanging, he went to the village chief's house, and told everything without concealment, and the village chief also panicked, telling him not to make a noise, since the matter has happened, he will push the boat down the river, and by the way, he will kick me out of the village, which is the best of both worlds.

Sure enough, the people in the village knew that Wang Lao Si was killed by a ghost, and they were brave, but they didn't expect Zhao Shouquan to find out the secret of Wang Lao Si Niang's murder.

I knew everything that happened later, but I didn't expect that there would be such strange stories in this small village, thinking of the tragic scene before the death of Xiaosi, I actually felt that it was God's retribution.

At the same time, I also understand why the village chief is angry with me, and even wants to sacrifice me to the sky, Wang Laosi's kindness to my family, I am indeed a favor and revenge, and my heart is particularly unpleasant.

"Sanhuo, let's find a time to see him when we get to Mushi."

I nodded, not knowing what to say.

The sky outside the window was already bright, and as the chickens and dogs in the village began to make noise, Zhao Shouquan took me out of the house, and the sky above me was still gloomy, but there was no blood rain.

Looking at the ancient tree hole in the courtyard, I asked, "What are we going to do today?" ”

"Hold on." Zhao Shouquan said: "I estimate that tonight is the time when the main owner of the suppression under the coffin of Yin Huai leaves, calculate the day, today is exactly the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar, and it coincides with the first seven days of your mother-in-law's death, the number of small yin, what a fucking good day!" ”

I looked at Zhao Shouquan's face as if he had eaten a fly, and was about to continue to speak, when Liu Daxian walked in from outside the door, he was wearing a yellow robe, carrying a peachwood sword in his left hand, and a gossip mirror in his hand, with all kinds of cinnabar charms pasted on his body, looking like a fully armed soldier, but his white hair and wrinkles on his face were obviously exhausted.

"Are all the people in the village settled?" Zhao Shouquan asked.

Liu Daxian said: "That's it, we can all live if we become adults, if we don't, we will die in front of them." ”

"You said that this thing has been pressed in the village for hundreds of years, and no one has found it?"

"If no one finds out, why is the Yin Huai coffin here?"

Zhao Shouquan groaned slightly, "Yin Huai coffin... Ritual of Worshipping the Heavens... The twin banshees... Where was the bronze ghost coffin buried by the people of the village? ”

Liu Daxian was stunned, "You mean it has something to do with the bronze coffin back then?" ”

"I didn't think it was at least a few hundred years old, but when I thought that the banshee in the Yin Huai coffin had only been dead for less than twenty years, it seemed that nothing was impossible. I said that this Yin Huai coffin was transported from below, and since it can be transported, the bronze ghost coffin ......."

Liu Daxian and I both understood what he meant, and Liu Daxian, who was heavily armed, said, "I'm looking for someone to go to the place where the coffin was buried before." ”

"Wait!" Zhao Shouquan said: "It's too late, you can only prove whether it is the coffin or not, and the others are useless and a waste of time." ”

As soon as Zhao Shouquan's words were finished, a sudden gust of cold wind blew through our bodies, and I couldn't help but wrap my clothes tightly and muttered, "Why is the wind swishing in broad daylight." ”

As soon as the words fell, Zhao Shouquan frowned, put the green axe on his chest, and shouted: "Sanhuo be careful!" ”

I instantly saw a touch of red appear on the back of my head, and hurriedly dodged sideways, the scarlet figure was fleeting, and Zhao Shouquan's axe split into the air.

Liu Daxian clenched his peachwood sword and looked around, "What was it just now?" ”

"The banshee in the Yin Huai coffin, she is much more terrifying than last night, I think it is the effect of that blood rain!" Zhao Shouquan sandwiched me between him and him back to back, and said, "Old man Liu, you have to protect my eldest nephew." ”

"Don't worry, I will protect everyone in the village."

"Shhhh

As soon as Liu Daxian finished speaking, a red shadow flashed, and a bloody hole was cut on his chest!
