The mangy dog is also an old man, otherwise he would not have been approached by Qian Kai, the scumbag Taoist priest from Maoshan, and asked him to seduce Zhang DaDa. In fact, this mangy dog often cooperates with Qian Kai, and his deception skills are amazing.
The mangy dog curled his lips with a look of disbelief, as if you were bragging.
Zhang boldly looked at the mangy dog like this, and his heart became angry. He was scolded so badly by his wife at home, but outside, there were still people who dared to question his most proud courage.
"Why, you don't believe it! How about we make a bet!"
Zhang DaDa said angrily.
The mangy dog thought for a while, but in his heart he was scolding Zhang for being a bold fool, a fool without a brain, but his face was filled with contemplation, and then he said:
"Okay, then I, the mangy dog, will make a bet with you!"
"Okay, then what do you want to bet on?"
Zhang boldly patted his chest and said:
"No matter how scary things are, to me, it's just the same! I, Zhang DaDa, have never been afraid of anything in my life!"
The mangy dog pretended to think and said:
"You're not afraid of anything! I still don't believe in that evil!
In this way, I will bet you ten taels of silver that you can stay in Yizhuang for one night. If you dare and you are fine the next day, I will give you ten taels of silver.
If you don’t dare, or you run away halfway, then you can give me ten taels of silver, how about that!”
When Zhang DaDa heard this, he immediately became happy. Ten taels of silver was quite a lot. As for losing, he never thought about it.
Isn't it just a village in Yizhuang? I'm afraid of a bird!
"Okay! I made a bet with you! Mangy Dog, we have agreed, if you lose, don't default on the money!"
"Tsk, is my mangy dog like that?
To put your mind at ease, how about I give you five taels of silver first?"
The mangy dog took out a broken piece of silver and threw it to Zhang DaDa.
Zhang DaDa was even happier. It was indeed what it was. It was not bright in the east but bright in the west. It was frustrating at home and making money outside.
Zhang boldly took the money and bit it with his teeth. There was really nothing wrong with it.
The bet was thus settled.
The two agreed on a time to meet in Yizhuang after dinner.
The mangy dog was also happy. Qiangao gave him twenty taels of silver, and Zhang Dadan was definitely dead. In other words, he earned fifteen taels of silver. Tonight, hey, he can go find Xiao Taohong again.
So happy.
Time passed little by little, the sky began to darken, and smoke was everywhere in Zhangxiang Town.
Zhang boldly bought a jar of shochu and walked towards Yizhuang. The business of ten taels of silver made him feel quite comfortable.
Yizhuang is still some distance from the town. On weekdays, almost no one comes to this area. Even if the sky is not completely dark, there seems to be an eerie feeling on the road.
In particular, a few days ago, Zhang DaDa dared to bet with his gangster friends, and when he was peeling apples in front of the mirror at night, he actually hit a ghost, and some of his friends were kidnapped by ghosts, and they are still alive today.
Still no news.
Thinking of this, Zhang DaDa couldn't help but shudder.
Just when Zhang DaDa was distracted, a Taoist suddenly appeared, stopped Zhang Da Da and asked:
"This little brother, does he know how to get to Yizhuang?"
Zhang DaDa came back to his senses and was startled. He was Zhang Da Da, how could he be frightened? He said carelessly:
"Oh, let's go to Yizhuang, it's not far from here.
Walk along this road, pass through the woods, there is a small road to the left, and then go up and you will see a dilapidated house, which is the Yizhuang."
Zhang DaDa, who was belatedly aware of this, suddenly remembered that he was also going to Yizhuang, and asked:
"By the way, I'm going to Yizhuang too. We happen to be on the way. What are you going to do?"
The man said:
"Go collect the corpse. I am a Taoist priest from Maoshan."
"Collecting corpses? What kind of corpses are you collecting?"
"Hey, there is a fat man tonight. He will spend the night in Yizhuang. I have calculated that the kid is dead. I will collect the body tomorrow. Now go and find the way."
"You are a Taoist priest, oh, no wonder, you can make a lot of money.
Taoist Priest, do you think I am fat?"
The man looked at Zhang DaDabao carefully and said:
"You are not just calculating, you are simply fat!"
"Hey, I'm the fat guy!"
Zhang boldly said hehe.
The man looked at Zhang Bingdao's face again, and then clicked his tongue:
"Your face looks so dark, I think you're going to die."
"Dead?"
It was rare for Zhang DaDa to be smart. This time he bet ten taels of silver, so he said:
"It's just one night, how could I die? Did the mangy dog ask you to scare me?
Haha, you just want to scare me away with this little trick, you underestimate me."
"Haha, I'm scaring you. You think too highly of yourself. I don't know any mangy dogs. My senior brother said you were dead! So he asked me to collect the body."
"Who is your senior brother?"
"Maoshan Taoist priest like me!"
"Oh, I know, are you the kind of Taoist priest who dances with great gods? I don't believe in those!"
Zhang said boldly, but a bad premonition emerged in his heart. After all, he was someone who had really seen ghosts.
However, for the ten taels of silver, there was no way he could back out, otherwise, if he lost, he would not be able to pay the mangy dog the ten taels of silver.
Zhang boldly hummed:
"Unless you change some money for me! Let me see, otherwise, who will believe you!"
The man chuckled, paused, took out five pieces of white paper from his pocket, and said with a sinister smile:
"I don't know how to change money, otherwise, what else would I do?
But...
I know how to make money by turning a dead person into someone else, do you want me to turn it into something for you?"
"Dead man's money? Okay!"
"Then take a look."
The man did not hesitate. After he recited the magic formula, lines appeared on the five pieces of white paper in his hand. In a flash, lines appeared on the white paper. He placed it in front of Zhang DaDa again, and five proper Ming coins appeared.
Zhang DaDa suddenly became a clever person. Damn it, he really did it!
Zhang DaDa, who himself had no education, believed it all at once. After all, the method of turning ghost coins with bare hands was not something ordinary people could do. The Taoist priest in front of him was really capable.
Zhang boldly swallowed his saliva, a little scared, and said:
"I don't know the elder's name. Taoist priest, is there any way you can save me?"
"The poor Taoist's surname is Xu. Just call me Taoist Master Xu to save you? Haha, it's very simple. Just don't go to Yizhuang."
Taoist priest Xu said casually,
"In this way, I can save some things."
"No, if you don't go, then I will lose. If I lose, I will have to pay ten taels of silver. Even if you sell me, you won't be able to get that much money."
Daochang Xu shrugged and said:
"Then there's nothing I can do."
Under Zhang DaDa's extreme disappointment, Daochang Xu paused and said again:
