The sloppy old man was sleeping soundly, and I couldn't calm down for a long time.

I don't know what the rules he said are, but the figure outside the shroud shop before seemed to be really afraid of this sloppy old man. If it weren't for him, I might have really gotten into trouble tonight.

Now that I think about it, my grandfather is a little strange.

After living with my grandfather for so many years, I never knew that my grandfather had some unknown things.

For example, grandpa saw at first sight that I was plagued by resentment, and the incident of driving away the female ghost that night...

These things are beyond my cognition.

The sloppy old man was already asleep. I didn't quarrel with him anymore, but looked at the yellow lantern hanging on the door frame, and my eyes twitched.

The human skin lantern is corpse oil and fire... No wonder the small candle has been burned for so long and has not been burned yet!

Where did my grandfather get this thing? The purpose of his asking me to hang lanterns was to attract this sloppy old man to come over?

I don’t understand, I have too many doubts in my heart, and the more I think about it, the more I become more confused.

Finally, I took a deep breath, shook my head, and threw away the mixed thoughts in my mind.

I walked to the glass counter in the store and lay on the counter in a daze. After a long time, my eyes were on my backpack.

My eyes lit up, and I hurriedly opened my backpack and found a black box from the backpack. It was the black box that my grandfather had treasured.

When I was young, I was curious about what was in my grandfather's black box. I wanted to open it and check it out, but my grandfather discovered it before I could open it. That time was the first time that my grandfather got angry with me since I can remember, and I have never had the idea of ​​this black box since then.

At this time, after taking out the black box, I couldn't help but feel curiosity in my heart. I pressed the hidden button on the black box and opened the box.

In the black box, a book was quietly lying, with two words printed on it: Daozang!

What?

I was stunned for a while, but I didn't expect that the item in the black box that my grandfather regarded as a treasure was just a book.

This book is not very thick, with soft and elastic tentacles. It is not made of ordinary paper. This touch is more like...

I glanced at the yellow lantern on the door frame, and the corners of my eyes twitched violently. With an instinctive reaction, I threw the book directly to the ground.

Human skin, this book is made of human skin!

Just as my heart was so thrilling that I was so frightened, the book I threw on the ground was picked up by someone, and that person was a sloppy old man.

The sloppy old man who was sleeping soundly came to me at some point. After picking up the book made of human skin, his face became strange.

He looked through the contents of the book, and the strange color on his face became more and more intense. I already knew that the sloppy old man was no ordinary person. After seeing his strange appearance, he did not dare to make a noise to disturb him.

The shop was silent, only his slight movement of reading books.

After a long time, he closed the book, looked lonely and murmured: "Daozang... I actually met you!"

Then, he looked at me with a complicated look and a strange tone, "Boy, you are really lucky. If you follow my previous temper, maybe you will... forget it, you are old and there is nothing to argue for!"

After saying that, he looked at the book in his hand, with a little hesitation and a little reluctance in his eyes. He threw the book into my arms and said, "Hide it, don't be seen by others. Not everyone in this world is as kind as me!"

After saying these stupid words, the sloppy old man turned around and walked to the corner of the wall, lay there and fell asleep again.

After the sloppy old man made such a toss, I became curious about this so-called Daozang. Although I was disgusting and frightened by the material problems of this book, I was not stupid. Seeing the sloppy old man like this, I knew that this book was definitely a rare treasure.

I carefully opened the Daozang, and when I saw the first page, I was stunned.

What the hell?

Here are some things similar to ghost drawing talismans, which I can't understand at all.

There are some text annotations next to those ghost painting talismans. The problem is that I don’t know this kind of text, it looks like the fonts like oracle bone inscriptions in ancient times.

I kept looking through the pages behind, and it was the same, all of which were the patterns of ghost talismans and some strange fonts.

What is this Taoist sect?

I couldn't understand it, and I wanted to ask the sloppy old man for advice, but the old guy's snoring sounded, and I also gave up this idea in my heart.

No matter what this book is, this thing is treasured by my grandfather, and I must preserve it well.

When I thought of this, I felt uncomfortable again.

My grandfather’s life and death are uncertain, but I can only stay here and do nothing. A deep sense of powerlessness fills my heart.

As soon as the sadness in my heart arose, I suddenly thought of something, my eyes lit up, and I looked at the sloppy old man sleeping in the corner.

I am so stupid. I am so stupid to complain about myself here. The ready-made master is here, so I can beg him!

Although I don’t know how capable the sloppy old man is, after the scene last night, I still have a lot of confidence in the sloppy old man. I can beg him to take me back to the village to see if I can find my grandfather.

As soon as this thought arose, my heart felt like weeds grew in my heart, and I was so nervous that I hadn't been late at night, if I hadn't been afraid of waking up the sloppy old man and then making him unhappy, I would have gone over and called him up long ago.

Now I can only wait anxiously, waiting for dawn, waiting for the sloppy old man to wake up.

Time passed by little by little, which was definitely a torment for me. After finally dawning, I hurriedly took back the yellow lantern hanging on the door frame, ran out of the shroud shop, and went to the breakfast stall not far away to buy some soy milk and fried dough sticks.

When I returned to the shroud shop, I carefully woke up the sloppy old man.

The old man was sleepy and saw the soy milk fried dough sticks in my hand, and suddenly felt the spirit snatched it over and swallowed it voraciously.

After he had enough food and drink, I carefully made a request and looked at him with anxious and expectant eyes.

He squinted his eyes at me, with a smile on his face and said, "It's not impossible to help you, but what are you going to repay me?"

I was stunned for a moment, then hurried to the glass counter to search for the things in my grandfather's bag. My grandfather was not used to depositing money in the bank, so he basically saved it at home. I found a cloth bag in my grandfather's bag, which was scattered in it for about a few thousand yuan.

I hurriedly ran to the old man with the few thousand dollars and handed it to him.

As a result, the old man didn't even look at it, shook his head and said, "It's not enough!"

Damn, this old guy has even started the price.

I gritted my teeth and took out a check from my pocket. It was the check given to me by Li Hu. It was the one that Li Hu gave me. It was a total of 100,000 yuan and handed it over. I was afraid that he would not recognize the check, so I explained specifically: "This is a check worth 100,000 yuan, it's enough!"

The old man narrowed his eyes, smiled and said, "I won't accept this kind of money!"

"What do you want?" I was anxious and angry, and said, "I only have so many!"

"I don't want money!" The old man looked at me, his eyes flashed with a strange light, and he said, "My request is very simple. Let me tell you after I have helped you. You can't refuse it then!"

If it were in the past, I would definitely hesitate. After all, I don’t know what conditions he would propose, and I can’t help but feel assured. But now, I don’t care about anything else at all. Retrieving my grandfather is the most important thing.

"Okay!" I did not hesitate at all, and agreed very simply, saying, "As long as it is not a murder, you can do anything you want to let me do!"

I agreed without hesitation, but instead shook my head gently, sighed, muttering something in my mouth, I didn't hear clearly.
Chapter completed!
