Chapter Thirty-Eighth: The Duan Family of the Southern School
"What is this? It's worse than throwing sulfuric acid." Caihua wiped the sticky stuff on her face and smelled it, "My grass is fresh rooster blood. This is forbidden in Piaomiao City!"
Chicken blood and black dog blood are powerful evil substances that destroy evil spirits. In the jurisdiction of the Yin Division, chickens and dogs are absolutely not allowed to appear, let alone take blood. The ghosts and ghosts are most afraid of these Yang Qi objects.
.
"That's right, to be precise, it's chicken blood mixed with boy's urine! Brother, get in the car quickly and follow me out of the city." With a long laugh, a fat man drove a carriage and crashed into the Yin soldiers.
Another fat man holding a gourd was happily splashing chicken blood around.
When I saw it, hey, good guys, these are not the same brothers who were selling buns and dumplings on the street yesterday. These two brothers really have some skills.
"Haha, it's interesting, I'll take a scoop!" Cauliflower jumped on the carriage, took the scoop from the fat man's hand and scattered it around.
The fat man's face turned green with distress, "Brother, please take your time and do some work. Don't let it go all out. I haven't had enough yet."
"Caihua, stop making trouble, Mr. Feng is injured, help him get into the car first," I said.
After helping Mr. Feng get into the car, the fat man shouted: "Drive!"
The carriage ran away, and no one dared to stop the evil soldiers along the way. What impressed me most was the fat brother in the carriage, who was holding a big umbrella covered with charms. He looked majestic, and arrows from the city wall were shot on the umbrella.
, all were bounced away.
The black horse galloped with its hooves, and quickly rushed out of Piaomiao City. After leaving the city, the car drove all the way east.
"Hey, wait a minute, fat man, where are you going?" I asked when I saw something was wrong in the direction.
The fat man laughed and said, "Brother, don't worry, I'll make sure you leave Piaomiao City safely."
"Brother Qin, Mr. Feng's situation is not good." Caihua said.
Feng Er shook his head, tried his best to stand up and sit cross-legged, gritting his teeth, "I'm fine, this little injury won't kill me."
I signaled Caihua not to disturb Mr. Feng. Feng Er’s face was ugly, his thick unibrow was twisted together due to pain, and the bull’s head hit him firmly on the chest.
With Feng Er's temper, I knew he was holding back and felt very uncomfortable.
From the moment Caihua and I entered the underworld, he has been protecting us in the dark above the Styx River. If it weren't for him, our lives would have been in danger. Although he didn't admit it, Caihua and I knew it in our hearts.
.
The fat brothers' names are Baozi and Diaozi. They are descendants of an ancient family of tomb robbers. In order to obtain first-hand information, the two brothers often do business in Piaomiao City by doing business.
Most of the people in Piaomiao City are ghosts and ghosts of the newly deceased. Once they find that a rich man or tribe leader has entered the city, the two brothers will reward the ghosts with steamed buns and dumplings to get information about the deceased.
In Piaomiao City, people in the Xuanmen had to be as popular as ghosts. There were free buns and dumplings for free, and no one would be happy about it. Over time, the two brothers became famous in Piaomiao City.
All the scheming shepherds like to come here to beg for money and gossip. Relying on this information, the two brothers immediately dug up graves. Often people would be dug up by these two brothers before they had left for a few days.
, make a lot of money from dead people.
I asked the driver Baozi how they brought the food from the underworld to Piaomiao City, and the patrolling soldiers seemed to be used to it.
Baozi spit out the thick phlegm and cursed contemptuously: "Bah, that's because I have to burn paper money for several days and nights every year for officials at all levels in the city. Just to guard the city, I have to burn it for three days and three nights. Otherwise,
If you think these grandsons can be blind, then you are fooled by money."
When the conversation changed, he said with a sad face: "It's over now. In order to save you, we brothers may not be able to continue our underworld business."
I patted his shoulder and said, "Haha, Brother Baozi, it doesn't matter if you don't come to this place where people die. With your brothers' skills, are you afraid that you won't be able to find a job?"
Caihua leaned her head over and said with a smile: "I'm talking about buns and dumplings. I think your brothers are pretty good at it. Why don't you catch ghosts with me?"
Dumpling stuck out his tongue, "Let's forget it. We just have to deal with ghosts to make a living. It's better to rob tombs."
Caihua raised her middle finger and said disdainfully: "Idiot, you are so disrespectful. Do you think I care about you two fat guys?"
"What the hell are you talking about? You have a stinky beard. Are you looking for a slap?" Dumpling raised his spoon and tried to eat the cauliflower.
Caihua pointed to the top of her forehead and hit the dumpling with her head, "Come on, come on, come on, if you have the seed, go to this grass. If the grass doesn't die, I won't count you as having no seed."
"Mom, what a fool, you think I don't dare to mess with you, right?" Dumpling raised his big spoon and started to open the cauliflower.
Looking at this pair of living treasures, I couldn't help but smile. I was so happy just now that I would take action if they disagreed.
I quickly grabbed the dumpling and glared at Caihua, "Calm down, you will die."
"Brother Dumpling, don't mind. My brother has such a bad temper. Don't argue with him." I laughed.
Dumpling snorted coldly: "If you have a temper, you must have the ability. The coward who was kicked by the old cow and rolled on the ground is so arrogant."
Caihua picked up the bucket and splashed the remaining chicken blood all over the dumplings: "Fuck your mother, whoever is a coward will have a fight."
"Hey!" Baozi pulled the reins, and the carriage stopped in front of a dilapidated thatched hut.
Caihua jumped out of the car and got into a fight with the fat dumpling. You punched me, and both of them were beaten with bruises and swollen faces.
"Dumpling, brother Caihua, stop making trouble!" Baozi's face was red, his smile was kind, and his tone was calm and calm.
Dumpling pushed the cauliflower away, climbed up, touched his swollen cheek, and grinned in pain, "Big Beard, for the sake of my brother, I will spare you for now."
Caihua spat on the ground, "Come back if you have the seeds, I won't kill you."
I pulled him and said, "Stop making trouble and give me some face, okay?"
Caihua gave up angrily, and Baozi laughed and led us to the shabby hut.
There was a huge sarcophagus placed in the hut. Baozi sat on his horse with his waist hunched, and shouted loudly, and the sarcophagus slowly opened in response.
"What a strength!" Feng Er and I praised simultaneously.
Baozi rubbed his hands and said with a naive smile: "Thank you, Mr. Feng. My two brothers have nothing else but brute strength."
This tunnel was dug by our brothers. It leads in two directions, one way to the inside of Piaomiao City, and the other to the official road that avoids Piaomiao City's patrol and goes directly to the outside of the East Gate City.
I asked how you could transport chicken blood to Piaomiao City. It turns out that you used tunnels.
Baozi laughed and said: "We brothers were just idle and bored, so we opened such a road, but we didn't expect it to come in handy today."
"No, we don't know each other. Why do you want to save us? You don't have any intentions." Cauliflower asked curiously, touching her chin and circling the bun.
"I said, why are you so in need of punishment? You made a mistake by cooperating with my brothers to save you. If I had known, I would have killed you with a bull's head." Dumpling jumped up and down in anger.
Baozi cupped his hands and smiled: "That's all because of Uncle Feng!"
"What did you call me?" Feng Er was a little confused.
"Uncle Feng, my two brothers are the direct descendants of the Duan family of the Southern School. Our grandfather is Duan Laosan. According to seniority, we should call you Uncle Feng." Baozi said with a smile.
Feng Er stroked his beard and laughed loudly: "It turns out that he is Brother Duan's direct grandson. It's not easy. In the blink of an eye, we haven't seen each other for decades. How is Senior Brother Duan? He doesn't have to work anymore."
"Grandpa is still strong. Now he has passed on his skills to us brothers. Uncle Feng, without further ado, we'd better leave here early. If it's too late, we're afraid that the Yin soldiers will find us here." Baozi said.
After entering the coffin, it was empty. After going down more than a dozen steps, there was a passage half as tall as a person, one on the left and one on the right. Going left naturally led to Piaomiao City, and going to the right led to the east gate of the mortal world.
"I asked you two fat guys, can you climb in?" Caihua joked.
"Nonsense! You can't even get in here, but you still need to steal several tombs." Dumpling replied, taking a long breath, and his body bones crackled. In an instant, his body shrank several times, like a six-year-old child, if it weren't for that
My face is still plump and I can’t believe my eyes.
"It's really miraculous that the Southern Gu family has shrunk its shares into a nail!" Feng Er praised.
Just as I was about to enter the hole, Caihua stopped me, picked up the big rooster from her arms, put her hand on the head of the chicken, and shouted: "Get up!"
The big rooster, which had never been used, spread its legs and ran away to the other end of the hole.
After listening for a moment, Caihua said: "Okay, let's go."
It was extremely cold in the tunnel. After all, the area here was under the jurisdiction of the Yin Division, and the Yin Qi was strong. Although it was not as penetrating as the Yin Pass, it was still extremely unbearable.
"Brother Qin, here's this for you, you'll be fine if you take it." Baozi handed me a white pill.
I took it with a smile and swallowed it without thinking. I don’t know why, but I felt friendly when I saw the bun brothers, so naturally I wasn’t too defensive.
As soon as I took the pill, there was a rush of heat in my body, and my body was indeed no longer so cold.
Caihua was a little unhappy. Brother Qin, you just ate it without asking. If it was poison, you wouldn't finish it.
The dumpling raised its leg and gave it to the cauliflower. I said, why are you so heartless? This is the Duan family's secret Snow Jade Pill, which is specially designed to ward off cold and corpse qi. I wouldn't sell it to someone else if I had a lot of money.
Caihua seemed to be in conflict with the dumpling. Just when he was about to curse, I quickly stopped him and said, "Caihua, please stop saying a few words."
After crawling in the tunnel for about three or four hours, the light gradually began to appear. In the kang hole of a dilapidated old house, I finally breathed the fresh air of the sun.
Walking out of the old house, basking in the warm sunshine and breathing in the fresh air of the suburbs, my whole body felt comfortable and indescribably happy.
After thanking Baozi, Caihua and I took a taxi and sent the cover letter to the police station.
When we got home, we lit up cigarettes immediately and started puffing on them.
Darling, I almost suffocated myself to death these days! Cauliflower blew the circles under her eyes and said happily.
I stood at the window, lowered my head and smoked a cigarette, touching the purple gourd on my chest, and my heart was filled with ups and downs.
After a trip to the Underworld, I realized that everything was beyond my imagination. The Underworld is far darker than the mortal world. It is extremely difficult to become Lord of Hell and enter Netherworld Mountain.
