Chapter 337: The Haunted Funeral Parlor
Early the next morning, Li Qiufan and others had breakfast at Jin Quanfu's house and checked on his wife's condition. She was recovering well. After he was extremely reluctant to leave, the group waved goodbye and got on the train to southern Yunnan.
airplane.
Southern Yunnan is a highly prestigious tourist destination and a paradise in the hearts of countless people. Every year, countless tourists flock to it to see its unparalleled splendor.
However, Li Qiufan and the others were not here for tourism. As soon as they got off the plane, they rented a commercial vehicle and set off after casually mentioning a place name based on the general direction provided by Shadow Ghost.
The driver was a short man with dark skin. He was taciturn and not good at words. He hardly said anything along the way. The others were enjoying themselves and relaxing in the car, closing their eyes and concentrating.
When they arrived in Meng City, Yinggui sent a message to Li Qiufan saying that the three-eyed ghost baby was definitely here, so the four of them found a hotel to stay in, and also opened a house for the driver. This place is famous for its cross-bridge rice noodles.
Although a few people were not here for tourism, they wanted to taste it, so they went out for a meal. Needless to say, the taste was really good. It felt like it was completely different from the rice noodles in the north.
After eating and drinking, it was already afternoon. Li Qiufan picked up the bowl and drank all the soup. He burped and said with emotion: "Our life is hard enough. Walking all the way from the capital, it feels like we are always on the road."
The fat man echoed: "Who can say otherwise? My whole body is sore and I feel like my legs are no longer my own. I quickly find the three-eyed ghost baby and Menggui, kill them, and go back to have a good rest for a while."
"Yeah! That's what I have in mind, but I guess it's the end of the New Year after I finish them off, and I have to go back to my hometown to celebrate the New Year."
"Brother Fan, I haven't spent the New Year in the north yet. Why don't you take me with you? Sister Jingzhe, do you and Twelve want to go and see it together?" the fat man asked with a smile.
Li Qiufan's heart skipped a beat and he looked at Jingzhe expectantly.
"I... we'll see then... we should be fine."
When he heard that there was a chance, Li Qiufan was immediately excited. Doesn't this mean that Jingzhe is willing to go home with him to meet his parents?! Since his parents have met, doesn't everything in the future fall into place?
After dinner, a few people found a cafe and sat down to discuss how to proceed. After all, the three-eyed ghost baby has the skills of a ghost general. Although with Li Qiufan's current Taoism and the Jingzhe people, getting rid of it should not be a big problem.
However, none of the sinister ghosts who escaped from the underworld are good at it, so they still have to plan carefully.
But now they have the first problem before them. They only know that the three-eyed ghost baby is in Meng City, but they don't know the specific location. Meng City is so big that they can't go door to door to find it.
At this time, Fatty's role came to the fore. He turned on his phone and started searching quickly. After a while, he slapped the table: "There is a way!"
Several people put their heads over it, and it turned out to be a message for help. The location happened to be in Meng City, and it was from the director of a funeral parlor.
Li Qiufan took a general look and found no connection with the three-eyed ghost baby, but then he thought about it, if this funeral home was really sneaky, maybe he would know about the three-eyed ghost baby.
Thinking of this, Li Qiufan directly asked Fatty to dial the number.
After a few brief words, the four of them took a taxi and rushed to the funeral home without calling the driver who drove them.
Under normal circumstances, funeral parlors provide the bereaved family with multiple services such as transportation of corpses, venue for memorial activities, cremation, and storage of ashes, so most of them are built in the suburbs. This is also to avoid affecting the normal life of surrounding residents.
The sky quickly darkened. When the taxi driver learned that the four of them were going to the funeral parlor, his face paled.
Feeling a little uncomfortable, the car slowed down and hesitantly said: "Guys, how about... you guys take the next one..."
"What's wrong? We're not taking the Overlord bus without paying, so what are you afraid of?" the fat man asked.
The driver smiled coquettishly and hesitated: "I don't mean that... I see you guys are from out of town too, so you may not know that place... it's a bit weird, not to mention it's at night, even if we're not willing to take taxis during the day,
Go, I'm not being alarmist. Several people who thought they didn't believe in evil and had strong yang energy got seriously ill when they came back after being beaten, and almost lost their lives. From then on, the road leading to the funeral parlor
The road is basically deserted. I am surrounded by old people and young people, and everyone in my family is pointing at me to make ends meet. I really don’t dare to go..."
When the fat man heard this, he drew out his mahogany sword and said with a smile: "Master, please be at ease. We are not ordinary people. We are here for those unclean things. As long as you send us to
If something goes wrong somewhere, it's all our fault!"
The driver looked around the four people with suspicion, obviously thinking that they were too young and bragging, so he did not agree directly.
Li Qiufan took out ten hundred-dollar bills and said: "Send us there. Just stay away and wait. I'll give you this much when I come back. If you really don't want to, we'll go find the next one and won't bother you."
To this day, Li Qiufan unknowingly has an aura of righteousness that far exceeds that of ordinary people. The driver suddenly felt that most of the timidity in his heart had dissipated. In addition, seeing this stack of red bills, he felt really itchy.
Including the trip back, that's a full two thousand yuan. The rental business has been bad recently, so two thousand yuan is enough for him to earn for several days...
"Okay! I'll take you there!" The driver struggled for a few seconds, grabbed Li Qiufan's money and put it in his pocket, pulled out the jade pendant around his neck, closed his hands with both hands, muttered a few words of blessing silently, then put the gear in gear and kicked the accelerator.
out.
The car quickly drove out of the city and entered an asphalt road that had been in disrepair for a long time. There were potholes everywhere, the vehicle was seriously bumpy, and there were shadows of trees on both sides of the road. Except for their car, after walking for a long time, there was really no other car.
I didn't see any cars or people, and it was eerily quiet.
The driver was concentrating on driving the car, glancing at the rearview mirror from time to time. It was already the beginning of winter, and even southern Yunnan had a hint of chill, but the driver was already sweating profusely, as if he was afraid of something jumping from the woods nearby.
In front of the car.
The only thing that made him feel at ease was that the four of them, Li Qiufan, had calm expressions and did not show any fear at all. They occasionally made a few jokes to lighten the atmosphere.
After walking for a while, a little light appeared in front of his eyes. The driver breathed a sigh of relief. The funeral parlor was about to arrive.
However, as soon as the driver relaxed, a strange and hollow laughter came from outside the car, and the temperature in the car instantly dropped to the bottom. The driver quickly stepped on the brakes, his face turned sallow, and his whole body started to tremble.
"Did you...did you hear anything?"
Li Qiufan rolled down the car window, glanced outside the window lightly, pinched his hand, and grabbed it in the air. Then, a fearful resentful spirit was grabbed by the neck and brought in by Li Qiufan.
"Stop struggling and answer honestly what I ask you, otherwise I will make you lose your mind on the spot!"
Li Qiufan's palms were like iron pincers. No matter how hard the spirit struggled, it could not break free. It finally understood that it had hit an iron plate, and it was so frightened that it quickly begged for mercy, saying that it was willing to say anything.
"Little...little brother, who are you talking to?" When the driver saw this scene, his scalp was numb and he asked tremblingly.
Fat people are not pregnant
He smiled happily and said: "Hey, the owner of the voice you just heard is a resentful spirit, that is, a ghost. He was caught by my brother Fan and is being interrogated. Do you want to see what the ghost looks like?"
"Don't look at it!" When the driver heard this, his head shook like a rattle, and he almost stopped peeing.
"Stop scaring him!" Li Qiufan rolled his eyes at the fat man, released his palm and asked, "How long have you been wandering here? Why don't you go to the underworld to report?"
The resentful spirit answered honestly: "The little ghost has only been here for less than a month. After Tianzhi opened, he was going to go to the Chenghuang Temple, but he accidentally stumbled here. No matter how hard he looked, he couldn't find the way out, so he had to stay.
Here, absorb the yin energy here and scare away passers-by, lest they be killed by the things inside."
"What are you talking about inside? Is it in the funeral home?"
"Well, they are a few very powerful evil spirits. They specialize in killing people who come to the funeral parlor and devouring their souls to practice. I can't defeat them, but they seem to have some reason why they can't come out, so only one little ghost can survive."
Hearing this, Li Qiufan opened his eyes and saw a large area of yin energy gathered around the funeral parlor that could not be dispersed. It was precisely for this reason that the unlucky spirit was lost here and could not find a way to leave.
Yinsi report.
"You are kind-hearted..." The resentful spirit did not lie. Li Qiufan smiled slightly and said: "Since you have saved people, I will give you a talisman later and send you to the underworld to report, which will exempt you from staying in the human world.
He should be reincarnated as soon as possible due to his guilt and some of his mistakes during his lifetime."
"Thank you, Archmage!" The resentful spirit floated in the air excitedly, saluted Li Qiufan, then stood outside the car and followed him.
Li Qiufan got out of the car, handed the driver a Blood Essence Talisman and said, "Take it with you, sit in the car and wait for us to come out. I guarantee you will not be in any danger tonight."
"Okay, okay, I understand. I will never get out of the car, and I won't answer if someone calls my name..." The driver took the talisman and held it in his hand.
"Haha, master knows a lot, but I have nothing to do tonight. If you want to go out for a walk, you can do it. If someone asks you, just say yes. As long as the other party dares to get close, keep it safe to see if it comes back!"
"Well... don't dare, I'll just wait for you in the car. You guys need to go back quickly..."
Li Qiufan didn't say anything else. As his Taoism improves, the power of the Blood Essence Talisman will increase accordingly. Not to mention the evil ghosts and spirits, even ordinary ghosts can't hurt the driver at all!
After getting out of the car, the four of them walked straight to the funeral parlor, with Wraith following closely behind them.
When he arrived at the entrance of the funeral parlor, Li Qiufan used his spiritual sense to explore it, and found that there were indeed just a few evil ghosts inside, nothing more powerful.
"It's strange. How can these evil ghosts gather such a huge amount of Yin Qi that they can't disperse?"
Confused, I knocked on the door.
After waiting for about a minute, the rusty door slowly opened with a heart-breaking creaking sound, and a figure appeared inside the door.
This man had a stooped body, gray hair, and was wearing a dark blue tunic suit. He slightly raised his head and glanced at the four people, and asked in a dry voice: "Qiu Zhe Supernatural Agency?"
"That's right, won't you let us in?" the fat man asked carelessly.
"No, no, no... please come in." The figures staggered and the four of them entered the funeral parlor. When they passed each other, Li Qiufan glanced at the man's hand and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
