The basement was quiet, with only the light and shadow runes formed by fluorescent lamps reflecting on the surrounding walls.
I quickly walked to the coffin where my fourth uncle was hiding and said softly: "Fourth uncle?"
It was quiet inside the coffin, which made me nervous for no reason, so I shouted again: "Uncle Fourth? Are you there?"
This time there was a "shh" sound coming from inside the coffin, and then the fourth uncle said: "Don't talk!"
I don’t know what happened to my fourth uncle, but he just shut up and even his breathing slowed down a lot.
After a while, my fourth uncle let out a long sigh of relief, and then the dark wind in the basement blew, sending chills down my spine.
Can you breathe even though you are dead? This unreliable fourth uncle has no idea what he is doing.
While he was thinking about it, his fourth uncle suddenly said: "You'd better go to that auction."
I was stunned for a moment and said, "Uncle Fourth, have you heard everything?"
The fourth uncle said impatiently: "Nonsense! If you don't have any ability at all, why should I be your fourth uncle?"
"Let me tell you, that man named Chang Wanqing is a good demon-slayer. If you can make friends with him, befriend him. You are destined to suffer disaster in the future. You have several close friends in life and death. Even if you die, your life will not be in vain!
"
I was sweating profusely, and what my fourth uncle said was as if I was determined to die.
The fourth uncle added: "In the past, Lao San went to such exchange meetings to control the scene. If you go, don't lose the prestige of Baoshi's shop. Do you understand?"
"Someone is looking for trouble, don't be polite, kill him! Things in this circle will not be dealt with openly even if a human life is involved. If you really can't stand it anymore, come to me, my fourth uncle will help you kill him!"
That's what I need! Although I don't know how strong this fourth uncle is, his domineering power is really heartbreaking.
I smiled and said, "I'll bother you, Fourth Uncle. By the way, this exchange meeting seems to be quite large. If you need anything, Fourth Uncle, please tell me. You're welcome!"
Originally, this sentence was meant to be polite. I went to the exchange meeting just to meet the masters from the Curseless Town without asking for anything.
Unexpectedly, the fourth uncle was silent for a moment, and then said: "Eldest nephew, if you have a corpse wood that is more than a hundred years old, remember to buy it for me. This thing will be of great use to me."
The corpse tree is also called the dead tree.
This kind of tree is rooted in the soil, but does not grow toward the sun. Instead, it burrows underground and absorbs the yin energy to grow.
Generally speaking, corpse wood usually grows more than thirty meters underground. Only people who are very sensitive to the yin and yang atmosphere can detect it, or it is also produced deep in the Curseless Road.
After being discovered, the entire tree will be cut down, and its essence will be extracted to make corpse wood.
I saw it recorded in the book that this thing has a lot of Yin energy. If it is carved into a human form, the Yin spirit can be attached to it and move freely. The essence of the wood heart is also the best material for making magic weapons.
But the Fourth Uncle has been dead for eighteen years, and he was aiming for the goal of the Corpse Immortal. What does he want to do to repair the corpse wood? If the Yin Qi is too strong, it may affect his future achievements.
Thinking of this, I asked: "Fourth uncle, you don't seem to need the corpse wood?"
Fourth uncle scolded: "You know what the heck! Fourth uncle, I haven't been out in eighteen years!"
I suddenly realized, my fourth uncle wanted to go for a walk using the corpse tree?
At that moment, I said with a smile: "Uncle Fourth! Don't worry, if I see it I have to get it back! But is there any money in the store? This thing should be quite expensive."
The fourth uncle said: "The things that can be bought with money at the exchange meeting are all average! The real high-quality products are all barter. So, behind the counter, there is a stack of bank cards. Pick the one from the ICBC. The password is six six. How much do you want?
You can get the money yourself."
"Also, take the yellow backpack with you. If there is something that money can't buy, use the contents of the bag to exchange for it!"
I was immediately happy. The fourth uncle was indeed more generous than the third uncle!
Third uncle, this stingy guy, just gave me 3,000 yuan a month and it’s just like sending me away. What’s enough for this little money?
I said: "Uncle Fourth, don't worry! Just wait for my good news!"
After I finished speaking, I turned around and wanted to leave. After walking halfway, I turned around again and said, "Uncle Fourth, what are the contents of these coffins around me?"
The fourth uncle scolded: "You are a kid! Why are you so curious? Get out of here!"
I stuck out my tongue, slipped out of the basement, closed the door, and went to look for something behind the counter.
The bank cards are easy to find. They are kept in the drawer. There is a thick stack, which probably includes all the banks in China. I took out the ICBC card and checked it randomly on mobile banking. I was stunned.
.
That series of numbers, I almost thought it was a phone number. I counted carefully, eight digits!
Uncle San is really making a lot of money here!
While sticking out his tongue, he took off the yellow backpack. When he took it in, the backpack was heavy and made constant clanging noises inside.
When I opened it, I found that there was only a black Buddha that was neither gold nor wood, a broken seal, and a white skull.
There is no protection for the three items. They are banged and banged around in the backpack, and there is no fear that the edges and corners will be knocked off and the appearance will be damaged.
I pulled a few tablecloths at random to separate the three items to prevent them from banging against each other. I was about to study carefully what these things were, when suddenly the phone rang.
I was happy when I saw the caller number. It was my good-for-nothing dad, oh no, my real dad!
The third uncle kept calling my daddy a loser, which made me think my dad was a loser.
When the phone was put through, my father started scolding him. It probably meant that after running away for so many days without even calling home, did he really still care about this father?
I hurriedly kept my dad happy with a smile on my face, telling me how much money I could make here, and how many big bosses I had met with my third uncle.
As a result, the more I talked, the angrier my father became. He said angrily, no wonder I didn't call home. It turned out that I met a lot of rich people outside with the bastard.
I suddenly felt tired and couldn't answer these words.
It's whatever he says.
Dad cursed a lot, and someone next to him seemed to be unhappy. He coughed heavily, and Dad stopped.
Then he changed the topic and said: "Xiaojiu, has a fat man come to see you recently? He wears a big gold chain around his neck, a Rolex watch on his wrist, and his mouth is filled with big golden teeth?"
"Well, I'm driving a Maybach, and I should have a few companions."
I was stunned for a moment and said, "No."
But in my mind, I remembered the men and women who went to the village to make trouble for my grandfather some time ago. My grandfather drove them away with a rolling pin, and then decided to let me come to the provincial capital to find my third uncle.
I remember it very clearly because I almost got into a fight with them.
