The person calling the door from outside was an old voice, somewhat unfamiliar.
Xu Ping opened the door with a puzzled look on his face.
Before I could see who was coming at the door, there was a smell blowing in my face along with the breeze.
After experiencing so many things, he reacted immediately.
This is the smell of corpse.
Xu Ping took three steps back and then looked up at the door. He saw a haggard old man and said habitually: "Sir, our shop currently only accepts processing and custom-made..."
"I don't want to buy a coffin, I'm here just for you." The old man's voice was hoarse.
"for me?"
Xu Ping was startled for a moment, then used Zhanzhan Qi Technique again, and looked up and down.
The old man was surrounded by corpse aura, and the thick black smoke was mixed with a few streaks of blood.
I have killed someone recently, and the person who came here is not a good person... Xu Ping's eyes narrowed, and he clasped the willow sword in his sleeves, but smiled and said: "In that case, let's talk about it first."
Please enter the jar.
Mr. Lin walked in without warning with a smile on his face. When he saw the empty coffin shop, his smile froze instantly.
Isn't the world so peaceful recently? All coffins are out of stock.
Xu Ping closed the door calmly, then turned around and looked over, asking directly: "Tell me, what do you want to do when you come to me?"
When he said this, he had secretly ordered the paper brothers in the backyard to wait for the opportunity.
Mr. Lin said with a smile: "You don't need to adopt the attitude of an enemy, I'm not here to cause trouble for you."
"No, no, no..." If he really wanted to treat you as an enemy, the paper-man brothers would have already jumped out. Xu Ping waved his hand and laughed: "You misunderstood, I didn't treat you as an enemy."
Mr. Lin's face was suffocated, and he couldn't speak for a long time.
After a long while, he said: "Actually, I was at Yizhuang Laojiu's place and heard his story about you. I wanted to come and meet this outstanding young man he said."
Yizhuang Laojiu...Xu Ping asked: "Are you talking about Uncle Jiu?"
Mr. Lin nodded: "That's him."
As he spoke, his expression changed, and he could feel a dangerous aura behind the curtain. He hurriedly identified himself to avoid accidentally injuring friendly troops: "Introduce yourself, Lin San, the corpse stitcher of Renjia Town, others call me
For Mr. Lin, you and Mr. Jiu of Yizhuang have been friends for many years, so just call me Lao Lin."
"Old Lin." Xu Ping was very obedient.
You really don't give me face... Mr. Lin gave him a white look and said angrily: "Shopkeeper Xu, I've been here for so long and I haven't even seen a cup of tea."
Xu Ping clapped his hands when he heard this, and soon, two paper figures opened the door curtain and jumped over.
One person was holding a teapot and the other was holding two teacups, which made Mr. Lin look at each other for a while.
The paper man poured tea and the two of them sat at the side table.
Xu Ping took a slow sip and said, "How about it, now you have seen it."
Looking at the two paper figures standing next to them with weird smiles on their faces, Mr. Lin held a tea cup and exclaimed: "It's really a knife stabbing my butt, it's an eye-opener."
"whee!"
The paper man laughed slyly, seemingly happy to be praised.
The sudden laughter made Mr. Lin shake his hands in fright. The hot tea fell on his hands and instantly vaporized, turning into black smoke and floating in the air.
"careful!"
Mr. Lin hurriedly shouted a warning, but when Xu Ping waved his hand, the wisp of black smoke disappeared immediately.
He shook his head again and said with a self-deprecating smile: "Oh, I am worrying too much."
Looking at this look, he really didn't come here to cause trouble... Xu Ping put down his tea cup and started to sit upright. He was a friend of Uncle Jiu after all. He looked seriously and asked: "Mr. Lin, I see your expression, come to me,
There must be something wrong, right?"
"Okay!" The old man roared loudly and vigorously. He changed his shyness just now and said boldly: "I like your temperament. If you have anything to say, just say it. Then I won't hide it. That handsome seal of the Yang family,
Are you really ready to return it?"
Xu Ping's star-like eyes lit up and he discovered Hua Dian.
He stared at the old man in front of him for a long time. He even counted the age spots on his face clearly. He didn't know why, so he asked: "How do you know that is the handsome mark of the Yang family?"
Mr. Lin took a sip of tea from the cup and said in a deep voice, "Because I sewed that handsome mark into Brother Yang's belly."
The paper man stepped forward again to add tea and then backed away.
That burnt corpse...Xu Ping was still wondering why there was a handsome seal hidden in his stomach.
"Appreciate further details."
Xu Ping motioned for him to continue.
Mr. Lin pondered for a moment, sighed, and a trace of sadness appeared on his face: "Xiao Xu, before I talk about this handsome seal, let me tell you a story first."
"Um."
Xu Ping listened quietly.
At this time, he had already dismissed the paper man and poured tea for him himself.
The old man then spoke eloquently and told a secret.
…
According to legend, three hundred years ago.
A mountain ghost spawned near Wanliu Town and fell in love with a girl in the village at the foot of the mountain.
The villagers wanted to settle the matter and sacrifice the girl to the mountain ghost, but a young man in the village refused and wanted to subdue the mountain ghost behind the backs of many villagers.
As one can imagine, the boy was defeated.
Under the girl's pleading, the mountain ghost spared the boy's life
At this time, the young man was running wildly in the mountains with all his thoughts lost, and accidentally discovered a statue.
And the head of this stone statue is actually covered with a piece of red cloth, just like a getting married bride.
Although the young man didn't know what was going on, he remembered that the girl today also looked like this with a red hijab, so by some strange coincidence, he uncovered the red cloth on the stone statue.
Having said this, Mr. Lin took a sip of tea and looked at Xu Ping: "Do you know what the statue covered by the red hijab is?"
Xu Ping was fascinated by what he heard, and subconsciously shook his head. He felt a little resentful in his heart that you still let it go.
He had a vague feeling that maybe this stone statue had something to do with recent events.
Mr. Lin took a sip of tea, his lips trembled slightly, and he uttered three words: "Wutong Shen!"
As if out of fear, after saying these three words, the corpse energy around Elder Lin began to stir uncontrollably, and the stench became even worse.
Xu Ping held his breath and uttered two words: "Continue."
Mr. Lin calmed down his thoughts and said slowly: "Later..."
"The God of Five Powers seduced the boy, became one with him, killed the mountain ghost, rescued the trembling girl in the cave, and lived a happy life without shame or impatience."
Xu Ping was stunned. Is this the end?
Mr. Lin gave up and asked, "Do you know how that young man killed the mountain ghost?"
How to kill?
If the five-power god had enough power, there would be no need to tempt the young man to become one with him. He must have done something to regain his power.
Xu Ping thought for a moment, and suddenly felt as if he was struck by lightning.
I understand, I understand.
The earth dragon turned over, the village was buried, and the Wu Li family... Xu Ping grabbed something and became extra calm: "Three hundred years ago, an entire village was buried. Does this matter have anything to do with that young man, Wu Li?"
Is it related to God?”
He actually guessed it... Mr. Lin looked surprised. After coming back to his senses, he nodded: "That's it. With the nourishment of hundreds of people's souls, the Wutong God regained its power and killed the evil mountain ghost.
"
Could the zombies on that barren mountain be those villagers?
Xu Ping thought about the tomb again. If that was the case, then why did the girl die? How could the body of the Yang family man be in that coffin?
The lingering doubts in his mind were still lingering, and Xu Ping asked: "Is that girl's surname Li?"
Mr. Lin nodded and continued: "The God of Five Powers is originally an evil god. After merging with the boy, how can he suppress his evil nature? He often loses his mind and kills nearby villagers."
"Finally one day, the girl found out everything. She thought that in order to save herself, so many people died, and the person next to her was a murderer. After being stimulated, she directly chose to kill herself."
Xu Ping laughed: "That young man, no, the God of Five Powers will definitely not accept his fate after paying such a high price."
Hiss, this young man is really smart... Mr. Lin was surprised and a little relieved, and nodded: "A few years ago, Brother Yang and I accidentally discovered the whereabouts of the Wutong God and started investigating the matter.
, although the matter was finally found out, Brother Yang was still defeated by the Wutong God and was turned into a zombie by him."
"Then this handsome seal..."
Mr. Lin said directly: "I was the one who sewed it into his body before that."
"Brother Yang's Taoism is not low. After being refined into a zombie, it just provided a carrier for the Nine Yin Transformation Formation. Therefore, although the Wutong God looked everywhere for the handsome seal, he never found it. This handsome seal has been with him all the time.
Right under my nose."
This was also the reason why he hurried over after hearing Uncle Jiu say that he had found a handsome seal on the barren mountain.
I just don’t want this handsome seal to fall into the wrong hands.
But Xu Ping still didn't understand: "As you said, what does this five-power god want to do?"
Mr. Lin said calmly: "Resurrection, resurrect that girl."
Xu Ping was shocked when he heard this.
A few words wake up the dreamer, and everything that happened recently is connected in series.
The power of incense and fire is the belief of Yang people, and it is Yang.
Zombie Yin evil is the product of Yin spirit and is Yin.
Just like Nezha in the legend, he was resurrected with the incense of all peoples, and the idea of Wutong God is similar to that of catching the incense and resurrecting the girl from three hundred years ago.
Isn't the body decomposed?
The moment this thought came to his mind, Xu Ping smiled to himself. Since the other party did this with such great fanfare, there must be some means.
But whether it's the dog's leg or the tree roots in the mountain temple, I have already obtained them at this time. Why is there no movement from the other party?
After pondering for a long time, Xu Ping asked: "Does Uncle Jiu know about this?"
Mr. Lin was silent for a while and said calmly: "After Brother Yang died, the whereabouts of Wutong Shen were unknown. At this time, Lao Jiu came to Renjia Town. I have always been suspicious of him, so I didn't tell him."
"It wasn't until recent years that I saw him clearly and knew his character. However, he has a bad temper and his conduct is just like that. I'm afraid that after learning about this matter, I will investigate the matter at all costs, so I have been
Didn't even tell him."
"Other than Brother Yang, the only one I can call a friend in my life is Lao Jiu."
Xu Ping could also understand his painstaking efforts. With Uncle Jiu's evil-hating temperament, knowing that there was an evil god nearby who had killed hundreds of people, he would not care about anything else and would only focus on getting rid of him.
Wait... Xu Ping was suddenly stunned. You didn't tell him, but you came to me and said, what does this mean? Do you just leave the task of maintaining world peace to me?
Before he could react, he saw the relaxed smile on Mr. Lin's face, as if someone had finally shared the heavy burden, and his ricket back straightened a bit.
"But now, I, Lin San, have one more friend."
Xu Ping shook his head: "Don't say that, I haven't thought about it yet."
Mr. Lin smiled: "Originally, I came to you with the intention of getting back the handsome seal, because I heard from Brother Yang that this handsome seal is the key to killing the Wutong God."
"What about now?" Xu Ping understood the meaning behind his words.
Mr. Lin slowly stood up, opened the door, and his dazzling eyes shone into the dim shop.
When he met his eyes, his rickety figure slowly straightened up, making him look extraordinarily tall. He pointed at the couplet at the door and said in a deep voice: "When I saw these four words, I changed my mind and decided to tell Yu everything.
you."
Xu Ping also stood up and did not move, because he knew the direction of the old man's finger, where was the horizontal scroll of the door couplet:
