I was stunned when I heard this. The human-skin soul-calling flag has been lent to these two weirdos? This pockmark is not pockmarked. Isn't this a scam?
You must know that there are rules in the circle. If Uncle Tian really lent the human skin soul summoning flag to them, I would be really embarrassed to ask for it. Unless I can come up with something that both of them are satisfied with.
But looking at the two of them, they look like they are the best in the world, so it’s probably hard to talk about this matter.
I was just thinking about how to deal with it, when I heard Uncle Tian saying with a smile: "Mr. Blackhand, we haven't reached an agreement yet, this... human skin summoning flag is not for loan yet."
The man's eyes widened: "What? You want to regret it? Give me the soul-calling flag!" As he said this, he reached out and grabbed it towards Uncle Tian.
I shouted loudly: "Wait a minute!"
The black-handed man said angrily: "Zhang Wuxin! What do you want!"
I stood up from the chair and said with a smile: "We are all in the same circle, so of course we must abide by the rules. If Uncle Tian lent you the human skin soul calling flag, I would naturally turn around and leave without saying a word."
But what Uncle Tian just said is clear, the human skin summoning flag does not count as a loan."
Since it is something that has not been lent out, then both parties must compete fairly. As long as Uncle Tian doesn't let go, it means I still have a chance.
The black-handed man said proudly: "Uncle Tian, it's fine if you want to lend it to me or not, but let's see who can help you clean up that ownerless corpse!"
When Uncle Tian heard about the ownerless corpse, he trembled with fear. With a smile on his face, he said: "Mr. Blackhand, don't be anxious. Let's discuss it carefully."
My heart moved, and in a flash of thought, I already understood why Uncle Tian was so respectful to this couple. I guessed that Uncle Tian had encountered a problem and wanted to ask these two people to help him.
It's just that this couple was waiting for a price, and the lion opened his mouth, but the two parties couldn't reach an agreement for a while. As a result, at this time, I knocked on the door outside and interrupted their transaction.
At that moment, I said nonchalantly: "Uncle Tian, this is your fault. This is North China. You encountered an ownerless corpse. If you don't come to Yin Yang shop, why are you looking for an outsider? Leave this matter to me! I will do it for you
Get rid of the ownerless and vicious corpse! I’ll only lend you your human skin summoning flag for one night!”
You must know that Yin Yang Store is famous in the circle for keeping its word. Even though I am young, my identity is there.
So as soon as I said this, Mr. Blackhand stood up from his chair and became furious: "A little guy with no hair on his head! He is so brazen that he wants to clean up the ownerless corpses! Old Tian, do you believe it or not?"
"
Uncle Tian glanced at me suspiciously and asked uncertainly: "Do you know what the ownerless corpse is? How dare you boast about it here?"
I said without hesitation: "All corpses in the world have their origins, but there are only two types of corpses that have no owner. One of them was made by ancient warlocks using flesh, muscles, veins, and bones, and then filled with ghosts to create evil spirits.
Nothing can be more vicious than a thing that kills people and takes their lives."
"The other kind is born with a long life. After birth, it has no father, no mother, no uncles, no brothers and sisters. After death, it has no children, no daughters, no life partner, and lives a lonely life with no trace. It is called
Ownerless. Such people are lonely when they are young, have no one to accompany them when they are middle-aged, and have no one to take care of them when they are old. In addition, after death, there is no one to take care of them, and their bodies are left in the wilderness, so that they have great resentment in their hearts.
If you are saved, you will become a murderous corpse without an owner."
When I said this, I glanced at Uncle Tian and asked lightly: "But I don't know what kind of ownerless and vicious corpses Uncle Tian encountered?"
My eloquent talk immediately made everyone speechless and looked at each other in shock. Who would have thought that I, a young man of about twenty years old, would know so clearly the secrets of the exorcism circle.
In fact, I was also inspired by Zhenxie's Notes. That book was He Zhonghua's favorite. It was said that he got it from Yin Yang Village. It recorded countless anecdotes and strange things in the circle, as well as fierce gods and ghosts.
Among them, the "Corpse Chapter" contains descriptions of ownerless and vicious corpses.
Uncle Tian was originally scathing and dismissive of me, but when he heard me talking about the murderous corpse, his expression became more respectful. He said, "Little brother, if it's the latter kind, how should we crack it?"
The black-handed man said angrily: "Tian! Do you really think this young boy can help you? Let's talk ugly things first. If you choose him, don't blame me for turning around and leaving!"
I sneered and said: "Mr. Blackhand, don't you understand the rules in this circle? When an exorcist takes over a job, the client himself chooses who will take over. You are so threatening to Uncle Tian, aren't you afraid that I will take care of this matter?"
Promote it?"
The woman grabbed Mr. Black Hand and said calmly: "Of course we understand the rules in the circle. Since Uncle Tian thinks this little brother can do it, why not let him try it first? If he doesn't do it, we can't do it again."
Not too late. But before that, we have to make things clear. If you need us to take action, you must do it according to our price requirements!"
Mr. Blackhand's expression changed and he was about to speak, but the woman shook her head slightly at him, so Mr. Blackhand swallowed his words immediately.
Only Uncle Tian was struggling there for a long time, looking at Mr. Blackhand and then at me. He guessed that he really couldn’t bear the price offered by Mr. Blackhand. Finally he gritted his teeth and stamped his feet and said to me: “Little brother, if you can help
I've solved the ownerless evil corpse, so what if I can lend you the human-skin soul-calling flag for one night?"
I stretched out my hand and said, "In that case, you have to tell your story first."
Uncle Tian is very unlucky.
Although he is in the human skin business, most of the human skins come from legitimate sources and are bought with money. Don’t be surprised, there are all kinds of birds in the forest. Unfilial descendants sell the human skins of dead parents, and unscrupulous parents sell dead babies.
There are also grave diggers who sell zombie skins, and there are many murderers selling the skins of their enemies.
Although Uncle Tian was in the business of buying and selling human skins, he paid enough money. Even if there was cause and effect, most of it still went to those customers who sold human skins.
In addition, since Uncle Tian dares to do this business, he naturally has some tricks, so the business has been booming in recent years, and he has really made a lot of dirty money.
You must know that the human skin he collects only costs between 10,000 and 100,000, but after his processing, it has all kinds of weird effects, and the price has increased more than ten times!
Until later, Uncle Tian collected a corpse. The person who sold the corpse said that it was his grandmother, and that living was a waste of food, so he deliberately refused to feed the old lady and starved to death.
After the old lady starved to death, the seller found a thin-skinned coffin and prepared for the funeral.
Later, someone told me that the body could be sold for money, so the seller got extra clever. He took out the old lady's body in the middle of the night, buried it in an empty coffin during the day, and asked someone to take it to Uncle Tian's leather shop at night.
inside.
Uncle Tian didn't take it seriously. After examining the body, he paid the money and delivered the goods back home. Then he sharpened his knife and prepared to peel off the skin and make various utensils.
Who would have thought that it was then that he discovered that the old woman in the coffin was slowly growing fangs, her eye sockets were sunken, her skin was livid, and her nails had become hard and sharp.
At this time, Uncle Tian panicked, this is a damn corpse!
He called the seller all night and threatened him repeatedly, and then the seller told the truth. How could this old lady be his grandmother? She was clearly a helpless old lady from a certain village!
It turned out that the seller was actually a gangster. I didn’t know who I heard about this leather shop collecting corpses, so I got a weird idea. There happened to be a mute mother-in-law in a nearby village. She was about eighty years old and could hardly take care of herself.
.
He thought that the mute mother-in-law was suffering while she was alive, so he might as well help her out and create some income for himself. So he took advantage of the night and locked the door of the mute mother-in-law's house from outside.
The mute mother-in-law was unable to scream, was too old and weak to look out of the window, so she starved to death for two or three days.
The mute mother-in-law had no relatives, friends or children, so no one cared about her when she died. At this time, the seller stole the body one night and quickly sold it to Uncle Tian.
When Uncle Tian heard what the seller said, his face suddenly changed color. He was also someone who often dealt with corpses. This mute mother-in-law died in a burdened life, died unjustly, and was lonely and helpless all her life. This was clearly the ownerless thing that he hated most.
