Chapter 22: The Rabbit Faced Old Man(1/2)
I subconsciously lowered my breathing a little, barely hiding the tension on my face, and turned around slowly.
"do not move."
Hearing the words of the man behind me, I paused. I turned my back to him and didn't dare to make any more moves. My heart was also raised.
A pre-emptive strike?! He ambush me without saying a word. This is a bit of a trick!
"Uncle, just tell me what you have to say. Why make the atmosphere so tense?" I said with a dry smile.
You could tell from the voice he spoke before that he was a middle-aged man, probably in his forties or older, with a distinctive hoarse voice that you would never forget after hearing it once.
"Little grandson, where is your old man?" This man's laughter was so captivating that it gave me goosebumps.
I was stunned: "Old man? Do you know him?"
"Yi Guiyuan, Yi Daxishen from Xiangxi, who in the southwest industry didn't know this a few decades ago?" The man laughed and said, "Call your old man out, and I'll talk to him.
"
"The old man has gone out. If you have anything to do, just talk to me!" I said, "Why don't you come back in a few days? I'll ask the old man to wait for you!"
These words are from my heart.
The hoarse voice didn't seem to know that the old man had passed away, so it was just right. I took the opportunity to lie to him. When everything was ready, I immediately sent him down so that he could meet the old man as he wished.
Zhang Liguo hates you so much now. Do you still dare to commit crimes? Isn't this seeking death?
If you are caught when the time comes, it will be easy to shoot you ten times!
"Little grandson, forget it if Yi Daxi is not there, let's talk." The hoarse voice seemed to light a cigarette, and then continued after a while: "I won't say anything else, you let Luo Dahai's soul go."
, I will let you go now, otherwise..."
In a simple sentence, the threat is self-evident. Even though my back was turned to him, I could still feel that he seemed to have something deadly coming out.
"You are a smart man. I can see that. You can hand over Luo Dahai's soul." A cold dagger was placed on my neck. The blade was pointed at my aorta. With just one stroke,
I have to go and catch up with the old man.
Now my face looks so ugly, my intestines are almost turning green.
Why don’t I give it a try?! He told me not to move and I really didn’t move?! Why am I such a fool!
"Little grandson, do you regret it?" This man seemed to know what I was thinking. He tilted his dagger, pointed at the dark corner to the side and said, "If you move, your death will be even worse."
I ignored him, but still looked where he pointed.
In the darkness of the corner of the hall, there was a middle-aged man standing there quietly, wearing ordinary casual clothes, looking extremely motionless.
If he hadn't pointed to this place, I probably wouldn't have seen someone standing there.
I squinted my eyes and looked at the man carefully, and cold sweat covered my forehead as I looked at him.
There is a familiar smell on him. I often smell this smell in Xiangxi... This is the smell of corpses...
"This is... Luo... Luo Dahai?!"
The person standing behind me smiled and said in a hoarse voice: "The Five Gates of Xiangxi are famous in the southwest, especially for the art of exorcising corpses and controlling corpses. No one in the southwest can match them, but I don't have one in Maoshan."
Weak."
This is equivalent to announcing his family status. It seems that he has no intention of hiding his identity, otherwise he would not say this.
"Who are you?" I asked.
"You don't need to know this. I'll count to three and you either agree to release Luo Dahai's soul to me, or you die and I find it myself." The man sneered, with clear murderous intent in his tone.
I got scared after hearing this.
To put it bluntly, I'm actually not that brave. In this life-or-death situation, I'm really cowardly.
"three."
I trembled as soon as I heard this number. Please give me some time to think about it!!
"two."
I wanted to take out the Yin Deed and use it, but then I thought, if I make any move, this grandson might have to give me a knife...
"one."
"I'll give it now!" I shouted, and the man stopped talking and said with a smile: "Hurry up, what are you waiting for?"
Suddenly, an idea popped into my head, I thought about it and decided on it immediately.
I want to make a bet with this grandson.
The portrait of the founder is in the inner room, and the old man’s memorial tablet is also in the inner room, and I was held to the neck with a knife outside. Is this a fucking slap in the Yi family’s face?!
If I really relent and give him the stuff, I won't have the shame to offer incense to the Patriarch and the others in the future.
"Let's make an agreement first, you can leave after taking the things, and don't trouble me in the future." I said, my heart was lifted, and my eyes kept looking at the corpse standing in the corner.
Because of the dim light, Luo Dahai's appearance at this time was completely unclear. Only the part from the neck down could be seen, and his face was completely covered by shadows.
My grandson with a mute voice is standing behind me, and Luo Dahai is standing in the corner on the left. If I pounce forward unexpectedly... there is about a 50% chance that I can get rid of my grandson with a mute voice.
His dagger is set on the right side. If he pounces forward, he won't be able to cut me. When the time comes...
"Okay, give me your soul, and we won't interfere with the river in the future." The man's voice was hoarse and weird, like a ghost, and his tone was so sinister that it made people feel uncomfortable. He even muttered: "If it weren't for
My subordinates forgot to collect his soul, so I don’t have to come to you personally.”
A subordinate? Wasn't he the one who killed Luo Dahai?
"Take it." I thought secretly and took out the Yin Deed from my pocket. Because the two Yin Deeds were put together, I couldn't tell which one was the one that sealed Luo Dahai's soul.
, can only be taken out together, and then...
Seeing that I was about to hand it to him, Dumb Voice also took the dagger away a little, intending to reach out and take it.
At this moment, I took action.
Before he could react, I took a step forward, threw myself down in the open space of the hall, and tore open the Yin Deed with both hands.
"Luo Dahai! Go back to your body!!!"
In terms of speed, there is no comparison between humans and ghosts, just like you use a pen to solve math problems, while ghosts use computers to solve math problems. There is no comparison.
As I finished speaking, I felt two cold breaths bursting out of thin air in the room. One rushed towards the corpse standing in the corner as fast as the blink of an eye, while the other rushed towards the hoarse voice.
past.
"Take your life!!!" A heart-rending roar came from Luo Dahai's mouth. Then, the corpse standing in the corner suddenly trembled and rushed in the direction behind me with its teeth and claws bared.
Only then did I see the scene behind me.
The hoarse voice is not a middle-aged man, but an old man. He is slightly stooped and thin. He is wearing a black Tang suit.
I couldn't see what he looked like, because he was wearing a colorful bunny mask on his face, just like the kind of masks children buy to play with, the kind you can buy on the street for two yuan each.
I felt my neck was a little cold, so I subconsciously reached out and touched it. When I lowered my head and looked at it, I was immediately frightened.
There was blood all over my hands, but the grandson's reaction was so quick that he almost wiped my neck.
I still have to thank my ancestor for his blessing... right...
"The evil ghost is charging?" The old man seemed to ignore Wang Xue who was charging at him, and shook his head at me: "Don't show off this trick, it's embarrassing."
After saying that, the old man took a few steps back and avoided the angry Luo Dahai. He quietly took out a piece of black talisman paper from his waist, held the talisman between his index and middle fingers and gently pressed it.
I waved it, and the fire instantly burned on the talisman paper. At this moment, I heard a woman's scream.
Wang Xuechong's failure was something I expected. After all, the Maoshan team is better at catching ghosts than our five-door team. This is true.
"You damn thing, just wait for me!" I yelled, and while Luo Dahai dragged the old man away, I turned around and ran into the back room, grabbed the God of Joy gong on the altar table and ran out.
There are corpses for me to control, why do you still want to fight with me?! Just wait to die, you old grandson!
When I arrived at the hall, I saw that the old man was dealing with Luo Dahai leisurely. Even though Luo Dahai was fast and heavy-handed, the old man's movements were faster than him, and he could barely avoid Luo Dahai's attacks every time.
, causing him to roar and take his life.
"Old grandson! Just wait until you die!" I smiled cruelly and took the incense stick off the cabinet. I clasped my hands together and muttered a few words. With a turn of my wrist, the incense head of the incense stick ignited immediately, and the fire was as bright as ordinary
The fire light lit by a lighter is different. This fire light is full of golden color that cannot be concealed.
Call me scold, but I actually think this old grandson is quite smart.
Luo Dahai was an ordinary person, so if he wanted to kill Luo Dahai, he didn't go there in person. This avoided a lot of trouble being discovered by outsiders.
But now he came to me in person, which shows that he has no intention of underestimating the enemy.
He doesn't underestimate the enemy, he has brains, and he is a tough opponent.
I placed the tribute incense on the ground, stepped on its tail with my foot, and sounded the gong of joy.
"Xiangxi drives out corpses! Avoid strangers!!"
"Qiang!!"
Perhaps because of the anger, the lyrics that usually sounded soft and distant now sounded full of anger, not like they were sung, but like they were shouted.
The sound of the gong was even louder than my own. The sound was like thunder, and even the old man was startled by the sudden sound of the gong.
To be continued...
