Chapter 159: People sit at home, and money comes from heaven
Exorcists are accustomed to seeing life and death, and they also know what kind of existence the real underworld is.
Therefore, many exorcists are actually very resistant to going to the underworld after death.
Mainly because most exorcists retain their memories and instincts after death, they hate the soul, they hate the yin qi, and they don't like the disgusting evil spirits.
As a result, many exorcists will explain what they will do when they are alive. After all, life and death are really not guaranteed for those who do this business, and they may hang up one day, and they won't have time to explain the future.
When the monkey was alive, he once said to the third uncle that if he died one day, remember to summon his spirit.
After the three souls and seven spirits are recruited, it is better to throw him to the Shaolin Temple to listen to the scriptures, or to stay for the researchers to do research, anyway, he is not allowed to be left in the gloomy and cold underworld to face the evil ghosts he hates the most.
The third uncle is a short-term protector and his heart is not big, but he is definitely a good man who values love and righteousness. Since you promised the monkey, you must not break your word.
There are many taboos in the matter of spiritualism, and it is necessary to choose different methods and places of spiritualism according to the cause of death, time, and even obsession of the deceased.
So I didn't ask about it again, and said, "Do you have any arrangements after I go back?" ”
The third uncle smiled: "Arrangement? As long as you stay in the store. It's one thing to go out and have a drink with friends. ”
I gave my third uncle a blank look, I was only eighteen years old, and the wonderful world was waiting for me, how could I waste my time on this boring thing?
So I said dissatisfiedly: "What should I do if the national teacher in the troubled times is there?" ”
The third uncle said: "Big nephew, listen well!" Until you grow to a certain extent, you are not allowed to interfere in the affairs of the National Master of the Troubled Times! ”
"To Dazato, what he has done has endangered national security, and the Grand Commander of Kyoto will not let it go anyway."
"To Xiaoli, he has a feud with your family, but the old man is still here, and your wretched father is still alive, no matter how bad it is, there are still me and the fourth child. It's not your turn, you know? ”
"Sometimes, good intentions can also do bad things, just like when you came to the uncursed town this time!"
I was silent, in fact, this time I came to the uncursed town, I really didn't help at all. It even almost broke down several times.
Although I have gained a lot and become much stronger, there are some things that you really can't solve with a hot brain.
So I said sullenly, "Okay, I got it!" ”
"I'll take care of the white shop and won't go anywhere!"
Seeing that I agreed, the third uncle reached out and touched my head, and said with a smile: "Okay, you are not even twenty years old, what kind of big-tailed wolf." If you really want to help, become stronger! It doesn't matter if you become stronger yourself, or if your connections become stronger, it counts! ”
"When the time comes, I have the ability, and the third uncle promises not to stop him wherever he wants to go!"
After a few words of comfort, he stopped talking to me and concentrated on driving.
I looked at the starry sky through the car window and fell asleep before I knew it.
I don't know how long it was, but I suddenly opened my eyes, only to find that it was already bright outside.
The mountains in the distance are undulating, and the sun has not yet climbed the slopes, but the light illuminates half the sky.
The road under the wheels is no longer a bumpy wilderness, but turns onto a national highway. It's just that the driver of the car has been replaced by Chang Wanqing, and the third uncle is sitting in the co-pilot's seat squinting and resting.
I didn't bother him, I lowered my voice and said to Chang Wanqing: "Brother Chang, I'll drive!" ”
Chang Wanqing smiled: "Don't worry, I can still hold on." You eat something first, and then you'll be at the cliff in a short time. ”
I took out a bottle of mineral water and rinsed my mouth wildly, then took out a canned beef and pried it open with a dagger while looking at the map.
Mangya, located in the westernmost part of the Qaidam Basin, is still more than 100 kilometers away from us according to GPS positioning.
The administrative unit of this place is the city, which is under the jurisdiction of the state of Haixi. National Highway 315 runs through it, from east to west, all the way to the border point.
After entering the vast cliff, the third uncle is about to part ways with us. Chang Wanqing and I returned to North China, and the third uncle was preparing to summon the monkey's spirit.
Seriously, I'm a little lost in my heart, although the third uncle is unreliable, he really didn't say anything to me.
And the third uncle has a lot of skills, knows a lot, and can learn a lot by following him. And these things can't be taught in books at all.
When my grandfather sent me to the provincial capital, he actually took a fancy to this and thought that I could learn a lot from the third uncle.
After the sun rises, there are gradually more vehicles on the road, most of these cars are semi-trailers in the first four and eight in the back, and the cars are all daily necessities transported from the mainland.
If you have a car, you can be regarded as popular. Thinking back to the curseless town where the demons were dancing and the floating corpses in the River Styx, I actually had a feeling of being in a different world.
Those demon suppression soldiers are actually guarding this peace and tranquility.
Before you know it, the vehicle has passed through the checkpoint and entered the city. The small cities on the northwest border are actually quite inferior to the county towns in the mainland.
However, the cars on the street and the rush of people on both sides of the shops still lifted everyone's spirits.
Eating bran outside, climbing ice and lying in the snow, I can't even eat a decent meal. Although Mangya City is a little smaller, it has all kinds of organs, and there is no shortage of catering and accommodation.
The third uncle didn't know when he woke up, he took out the walkie-talkie and said, "I'll treat everyone to a meal at noon today!" Well, it's hot pot! ”
There was a cheer on the walkie-talkie, and then the third uncle threw his phone to me and said, "Find the best hot pot restaurant here!" Seat up to six people! ”
How big can a small city be outside the 18th parallel? You can see the edge at a glance. I didn't even have to look at my phone, I just pointed to the biggest signboard and said, that's it.
Naturally, there is no need to say much about this meal.
Anyway, we rushed in like hungry wolves, and we all walked out with our stomachs in our hands.
After eating and drinking, I booked a hotel for everyone, and after taking a beautiful bath, I lay down on the bed and fell asleep.
After many days of hard work, this sleep is naturally very sweet. It's just that after I woke up, I found that there was an extra text message on my phone, which was sent to me by my third uncle.
Early this morning, he left with his brothers.
Before leaving, he left us a car, some unnecessary supplies and equipment, and asked me not to waste time and rush back as soon as possible.
Although I had expected to separate, after the third uncle left, I was still a little depressed. Yesterday, a group of people who were still lively eating hot pot and drinking wine, today only Chang Wanqing and I are left.
Perhaps this is the normal life of an exorcist, except for the brothers who share life and death, everyone else is just a passerby in your life.
I quickly adjusted my mood, packed my things, and then went downstairs with Chang Wanqing to check out.
After leaving the store for so long, I still feel nostalgic in my heart, and I can go back as soon as possible.
But just when I was checking out at the front desk, I suddenly glanced out of the corner of my eye and saw a man wearing a windbreaker and carrying a handbag.
The man was slender and long, and his face was full of weather. Seeing that I was staring at him, he snorted heavily.
I didn't want to cause trouble in an unfamiliar place, so I withdrew my gaze and accepted the deposit refunded by the front desk.
He was about to turn around and leave with Chang Wanqing, but he stopped abruptly and glanced back at the man again.
Chang Wanqing whispered, "Brother, don't make trouble. This man is not a good man. ”
You must know that Chang Wanqing has traveled south and north for so many years, not to mention that he has seen a lot of things, and he has extremely rich experience in the rivers and lakes. At a glance, he could find out the general identity of the other party.
The tall and thin man had a cold face and was full of momentum, and he was carrying a package in his hand, and the exposed tiger's mouth was full of calluses.
This shows that the other party holds a knife or is good at using a gun all year round.
This kind of person is either a retired soldier or a thief who roams the rivers and lakes.
I hesitated, and then honestly prepared to leave the hotel. This world is very big, and there are endless capable people, although the other party is not an exorcist, but it is definitely not something that ordinary people can afford.
Who Cheng wanted to just leave the hotel, but he heard the hurried footsteps behind him, and the tall thin man carrying the package walked over quickly.
He said in a deep voice, "Hey! Friends in front! ”
Chang Wanqing and I turned our heads to look, and then frowned. We don't know this guy, what does he want to do?
The man put down the package in his hand, looked at us carefully, and said, "Exorcist? ”
I saw that his tone was not good, and said lightly: "It has something to do with you?" ”
The tall and thin man choked on me, and then said, "My name is You Shunzhi, and I am from northern Guangdong. ”
After he finished speaking, he suddenly leaned down and opened the zipper of his handbag.
Then I saw stacks of banknotes neatly placed inside, and there were at least seven or eight bricks in a bundle of 100,000 yuan.
You Shunzhi said in a low voice: "This is my deposit in recent years, all here." Please take it, both of you! ”
I was stunned, what is this? People sit at home, and money comes from heaven?
Is this man's brain watered? casually sent seven or eight hundred thousand.
Chang Wanqing said: "Do you want to entrust us with something? ”
You Shunzhi nodded: "I'm chasing a corpse, and I've been chasing it for seven months." I heard that exorcists are experts in catching corpses and subduing demons, but the fees are very high. ”
"This money is my life's savings, not much. But if it's not enough, I'll find a way to make it. ”
Don't look at his indifferent expression, but in front of us, he actually has a feeling of crampedness.
And his words also shocked me slightly, chasing a corpse? Corpse? A living corpse? Or is it an evil corpse?
He didn't open his eyes to the sky, and he didn't understand the strange magic of the five elements of yin and yang, so he relied on a real hard kung fu to chase a corpse all over the world?
I hesitated for a moment, then glanced at Chang Wanqing. For this kind of emergency, Chang Wanqing is obviously more suitable to deal with.
Chang Wanqing said: "Mr. You, it doesn't seem to be your job to deal with this kind of thing, right?" ”
"Or is this corpse related to you?"
You Shunzhi was silent for a moment and said, "She is my daughter, who died unexpectedly seven months ago, but before being cremated, she crawled out of the morgue again. ”
"I don't know what happened to her, but when someone dies, it shouldn't be like this."
"I followed all the way from northern Guangdong to most of Middle-earth, but I found it more and more difficult for me to find her traces."
"During this period, I also found some exorcist masters, but many of them either didn't think they had enough money or they were tired. Rather than catching a female corpse who doesn't know where to hide, they are more willing to exorcise evil spirits and look at feng shui for some rich people. ”
He laughed to himself, then looked at the money in his handbag.
Seven or eight hundred thousand is indeed not a small amount, but you must know that Boss Tang, who likes to collect corpses, just asked us to identify the corpses, and offered two million.
You can't really get an exorcist for this money.
But then again, the exorcist didn't just accept the commission for money, it is estimated that he was looking for either charlatans or the kind of people who did not have self-awareness.
I suddenly said, "Dare to ask Mr. You, what kind of profession are you engaged in now?" ”
He replied quickly: "Guangdong North Zhenwei Security Service Company, the position is field supervisor. In addition, I am a veteran of a special unit in the Northwest. ”
As soon as I heard the name, I knew that this person was a professional bodyguard, and he was the kind that went out in the field. The retired masters of special forces are often the favorite talents of such companies.
No wonder I have a strong aura, and I am a little vigilant when I see it.
Since the identity is okay and the person doesn't seem to be a vain guy, I said, "Is it convenient to tell me about your daughter?" ”
"Like, how did she die? What happened after death? ”
