It is said that a group of people were frightened by a wild cat in the main hall of Zanguan. They were all frightened and did not stay in the main hall for long.
But at this time, there were no stars or moonlight in the sky, and the wind and clouds were raging in the mountains. It seemed that there was a high probability of a heavy rain at night, and it was hard to find another place.
So Chen Yulou sent others to look around to see if there was any room suitable for resting.
After all, this building is too dilapidated, and the main hall is occupied by those unfortunate people who died in a foreign country. They are guests and it is not easy to live with them.
In addition, what Chen Yulou learned was the method in the "Wang" formula: look at the mud marks to identify the color of the grass.
Although this method is not as good as stargazing and pulse checking, it is very easy to perform after the rain washes it off.
Moreover, this museum is very close to Pingshan, and just down the ridge is the boundary of Pingshan. After the rain subsides tomorrow morning, we can go to see the situation of the ancient tomb.
Anyway, everyone carries murderous weapons and ink sticks to ward off evil spirits. It's just a morgue, so it can't scare these evil spirits.
Chen Yulou and Huamaguai were in the main hall collecting the bodies that had been harmed by wild cats.
Zhang Lin stood aside and watched with cold eyes.
Seeing this, Chen Yulou said: "Taoist Master, can you help me?"
When Zhang Lin heard this, he was very surprised and said: "Oh, what do you want me to do?"
"..." Chen Yulou was speechless when he heard this. You said you didn't find a place to live, and you didn't help clean up the bodies here. What are you doing here? Become a door god?
However, considering that the other party was an equal acquaintance with the old man, he couldn't say anything, so he had no choice but to continue processing the corpses with Huamaguai.
The two of them were busy and placed tripping ropes in the coffin containing the corpse. The ropes were soaked in cinnabar powder. The legs of rigor mortis could not be bent, so they were trapped in the coffin by the tripping ropes and could not get out.
Zhang Lin saw the two men's techniques and shook his head. Compared with the two unreliable Qiu Shengwencai, they were even more unreliable. The two men's techniques were so irritating that they couldn't stand it anymore. Zhang Lin stepped forward and said: " You guys get out of the way, I'll do it!"
When Chen Yulou heard this, he turned around and realized that Zhang Lin was holding a compass in his left hand and a mahogany sword in his right hand. There was a stack of yellow talismans in the pocket on his waist, which looked like a Taoist real person who had subdued demons.
"..." When Chen Yulou saw it, he couldn't help but say "f*ck" in his heart. If I had known you could slay demons, why would you have stepped forward with the Little God's Blade just now?
Are you always watching the show from behind?
Seeing this, Chen Yulou angrily pulled Huama, who was also confused, to the side to see how Zhang Lin operated.
Zhang Lin didn't take it seriously when he saw this. He just stepped forward on the Maoshan Tiangang, chanting the imperial talisman in his mouth, and kept the yellow talisman on the dilapidated coffins, and then asked Huamaguai to help, on the altar They took incense sticks, lit them, and made offerings to these unfortunate people who had died in a foreign land.
They paid even more attention to the corpse that had been harmed by wild cats, and put a yellow talisman on its head to suppress it.
Chen Yulou and Huamaguai were dazzled by the sight. They had long heard that there were corpse exorcists in western Hunan. Now they saw what Zhang Lin did, which was an eye-opener.
At this time, Miss Hong took Rong Baoxiaohe and Luo Laowai around the hall twice.
But I saw that all the houses in Zanguan were dilapidated, filthy and uninhabitable. Only the backyard that Luo Laowai explored, and a small room next to the back door, was still habitable.
This room is where the corpse-keepers usually live, and it is also the only room in the Hotel of the Dead prepared for the living.
Luo Laowai had been walking on the mountain road for a whole day and wished he could stop and rest early.
Seeing that there was a clean house, they went in alone without waiting to greet Miss Hong and Rong Baoxiaohe who were still exploring.
Unexpectedly, he glanced around briefly after entering. As soon as he turned around, he saw a dead man standing upright behind another door panel, staring at him.
The corpse was covered by a large white cloth, only a vague outline was visible. There was a wooden spiritual tablet on the top of the head, and a life lamp in front of the body was burned down to the size of a soybean.
Although only the outline of the dead body could be seen, its shape did not look like an ordinary person at all, and under the illumination of the weak life lamp, it looked extremely menacing.
Even though Mr. Luo Wai had killed many people throughout his life, he never expected that there would be such a corpse poking through the door.
Coupled with the scare from the wild cat just now, although I was relieved, my mind was still tense.
He broke out in a cold sweat on the spot and quickly went to take out his gun. However, for some reason, his foot slipped and he fell to the ground, with the dead body pressed upright on top of him. He was so frightened that he screamed and called for help.
Chen Yulou, who was watching Zhang Lin's practice in the main hall, and Miss Hong, who was looking around, heard his call for help and hurried there.
When everyone arrived at the scene, they saw that Luo Shuai, who had claimed to be the Living King of Hell during the day and threatened Rong Baoxiao, was pinned to the ground by something unknown, just like a child, crying heartbreakingly, so miserable.
.
Seeing Chen Yulou and others coming over, they kept shouting that something was going on and they were always trying to save their lives.
Everyone didn't care so much. Chen Yulou and Miss Hong also thought it was some unknown object, so they grabbed the object from left to right and picked it up. They saw that it was just a dead body, but it looked ugly and had a bit of a rat.
Just like.
Chen Yulou smiled and pulled up Luo Laowai and said that it was just a dead body.
As he spoke, he took off the spiritual tablet on the head of the corpse, which had a yellow straw paper talisman on it.
Chen Yulou raised his oil lamp and illuminated the paper talisman. He felt that the talisman drawn on it looked very familiar.
Then he remembered that he had learned Taoism in the mountains before, and he had been immersed in it, and he also quite recognized some Taoist runes. This rune was the "Corpse Purification Rune" in Zhang Chenzhou's rune. It read: "There are Liujia on the left and Liuding on the right.
There are thunder and lightning in front, storms and clouds behind, thousands of evils and filth, they are cleared by the qi, and they are as urgent as laws and regulations."
Then he gently lifted up a corner of the paper talisman and looked at the line of words revealed on the spiritual tablet below. Chen Yulou then read: "The position of the second aunt of the Mouse Wushi..." Seeing this, Chen Yulou explained to everyone.
: "This person has always been the night watchman of this house. She died just two days ago. According to local custom, she had to stand up like a zombie on the door panel before she could be put into the coffin."
When Rong Baoxiao heard this, he was so frightened that he knelt down and begged for mercy. He also pulled Miss Hong with him, saying that this was the second aunt who had become a sperm and she should not collide with him.
Hong girl shook her head and pulled Rong Baoxiaohe up, telling him not to be afraid, he was just a dead man.
Chen Yulou also said: "The so-called second aunt Mouse is a rat turned spirit, but it is just a rumor spread by the villagers. There is no shortage of people with strange faces in this world. She is a woman, and her strange appearance makes her even more special than others.
Unfortunately, we and her are not in conflict with each other, so she can just stop here."
After everyone heard what he said, they felt that it was reasonable. Looking at the stiffened Mouse Er Gu, they couldn't help but feel deep sympathy.
But Luo Laowai, who was almost scared out of his wits, was furious. As a warlord, he was not an easy person. Seeing that he had a large number of people, what frightened him was actually a dead body.
Feeling that the other party had made him look handsome and that the warlord had lost such a big face, he felt very angry, so he took out the American gun and planned to fire a few shots to vent his anger.
Seeing this, Chen Yulou quickly stopped him and said there was no need to be angry with the dead man.
As a widower, Huamaguai didn't like Luo Laowai's behavior of venting his anger on corpses. He and Miss Hong both came from poor families, otherwise they wouldn't have become thieves. They have always sympathized with the humble and lowly people.
Seeing what Luo Laowai had done at this time, he was very disgusted and said: "You are right. Since ancient times, the poor have not bullied the poor. We have all been forced to go to Liangshan to occupy a side and do some heroic deeds.
Why bother a dead man who is suffering from a hero's cause?"
When Luo Laowai heard this, everyone stopped him, and he didn't want to make him stand down.
Therefore, although he had the intention to burn the body to express his anger, he did not want to leave it in the house all night facing each other.
But seeing that it was difficult to go against the will of the public, and that these people were needed to steal the ancient tomb, I had to endure it and followed Chen Yulou into the house. Huamaguai hurriedly cleared out a clean place and asked the two of them to sit down.
I went to clean up Zhang Lin again.
Due to their status, the remaining three followers did not dare to sit on an equal footing with the bandit leader and Luo Shuai. After packing up, they sat on the ground and ate dry food to wrap their bellies, and drank some shochu to keep away the cold.
Mr. Luo was lying on the chair and saw Hua Maguai following Zhang Lin, busy in front of and behind him. He was no different from Chen Yulou, so he asked Chen Yulou strangely: "I said he is the boss, what is the origin of that person?"
?Why do I feel that your servants are more attentive to him than they are to you?"
When Chen Yulou heard this, he saw Miss Hong looking at him. He was obviously curious about Zhang Lin's identity, but he really didn't want everyone to know that Zhang Lin was a step above him in seniority and was entrusted by his father to come and look at him.
He said: "Why does Luo Shuai have the time to ask these questions? It's better to rest early, we have to go to Pingshan tomorrow."
Chen Yulou wanted to cover it up casually, but when Luo Shuai heard about it, he became more enthusiastic and said: "The boss, it's not that I, Lao Luo, have a leisurely mind. In fact, he didn't say anything along the way. He didn't make a sound for a long time. He was so mysterious.
, I feel uneasy."
After speaking, he was afraid that Chen Yulou would think too much, so he explained: "Commander, I'm not doubting you. In fact, we both know the truth. Miss Hong and the others are your subordinates, so it's nothing.
But every time I see this man's eyes, I feel a little palpitated. Your servants treat him with such respect, I'm afraid they are not your subordinates.
We are working together, so I have to know where he comes from, otherwise it will be difficult to divide the property, and it will hurt the brother's friendship, and he will always take the lead, right?"
When Chen Yulou heard this, he knew whether he made it clear or not. He was afraid that it would plant hidden dangers in Luo Laowai's heart, which would not be conducive to the cooperation between the two parties to obtain the property this time. He had to say: "Luo Shuai, that's it for now. If you want me not to say it today, you and I
Brothers are afraid of a gap..."
When Luo Laowai heard this, he kept saying no, but how could Chen Yulou believe it, so he said bluntly: "To be honest, I don't know the specific origin of that Taoist. I heard that he came from Bashu and knew his father.
I was entrusted by my father to protect me, so Luo Shuai didn't have to take it into consideration.
As for the property, before leaving, my father said that as the entrustment, this Taoist will only take Taoist scriptures, and don’t ask about anything else. Luo Shuai can rest assured."
When Luo Laowai heard that the other party only wanted those shabby books, not gold, silver, jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, he felt relieved and laughed loudly: "What are you talking about? I, Lao Luo, can't you trust me?"
Chen Yulou just smiled when he heard this and glanced at Zhang Lin who was already meditating beside him. He lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking about.
