Chapter 3 In the middle of the night, there will be a knock on the door
"Boom!"
A violent bolt of thunder and lightning quickly struck from the sky and struck violently on the roof of the Zhihuo Shop. Then, the thunder that enveloped the old man and me dissipated.
I looked up at the roof in horror. Surprisingly, there were no cracks on the roof, as if everything was a dream.
"Huh? What is that?"
Suddenly a piece of yellow talisman paper fell down from the roof beam, and then a light yellow letter also fell down.
The old man was the first to pick up the yellow talisman paper, and the word "leave" was clearly written on it, and the signature on the letter turned out to be my name, "Liu Kui personally signed it."
"Boy, who are you, Zhang Qingtang, the God of Yin and Yang?"
The old man was also shocked when he saw the talisman and the letter. He turned to stare at me and asked doubtfully.
"My name is Zhang Liukui, and Zhang Qingtang is my grandfather. However, he passed away three days ago."
I am sure that the old man in front of me must have known my grandfather, otherwise, the old man would never have left me a letter here.
"I see. From now on, you can do odd jobs here."
A trace of sadness flashed in the old man's eyes, as if it was for his grandfather.
He handed me the letter, and then went out and brought the big black dog in. Strangely enough, with the flash of thunder just now, the dog stopped biting me.
"Today, you sleep in the lobby, and I will buy you a bed tomorrow." After saying these words, the old man took the dog into the inner hall.
"Hey, what should I call you?"
"My name is Li Daoshan, from now on, you can call me Master Dao!"
After a few simple conversations, the old man closed the door of the inner hall, and a few more faint sounds came from inside, as if he was crying.
I feel warm in my heart. This Taoist priest seems to have a good relationship with my grandfather. I will ask more details tomorrow.
Afterwards, I didn't rush to sleep, but opened the letter. Since grandpa left the letter, he must have something to tell me.
"Liukui, you should not have been born. I asked you to come from the Fox Immortal Temple. You must accumulate tens of thousands of merits in the future, otherwise you will be punished by heaven. When you have completed your merits, you will return to the Fox Immortal Temple. Huang Fu
Tell Heaven, it will be the day you are reborn."
"Also, on June 23rd, if there are soldiers coming to the door in the middle of the night, you must not respond until the rightful owner comes."
After reading the letter, I was a little surprised. It turns out that I still have such a life experience. Wait, isn't today June 23rd?
"Bang bang..."
Suddenly there was a knock on the door. Through the light of the candle, I suddenly saw the figure of a soldier wearing golden armor...
My heart trembled. What the hell is this age? How could someone be wearing the clothes of ancient soldiers? Could it be an actor?
I read the letter left by my grandpa again. Grandpa told me not to respond when soldiers enter the house in the middle of the night.
"Damn it, where did this guy come from?"
I was hesitating whether to open the door for this guy, but Master Dao suddenly walked out of the inner hall and looked at the door.
"Liukui, why are you so stunned? Go and open the door."
I looked back at the Taoist Master, and there was a black energy pouring into his Tianzhai Palace. This meant that the person outside the door was very evil and seemed to be looking for trouble.
"Master Tao, that person is afraid that the visitor is not a good person, so we'd better not open the door."
I originally wanted to hand the letter to Master Dao, but considering that it was a secret letter from Grandpa, I had to give up. Instead, I persuaded him.
"You brat, aren't you here too? Go and open the door quickly, I think some business is coming." Master Dao ordered again.
I'm worried about the ten thousand grass-mud horses galloping past, but if I don't listen to Master Dao now, how will I get along with him in the future?
After thinking about it, I secretly scratched my index finger with my nail, and a drop of blood gushed out from it. This fingertip blood is the most precious treasure of the human body, and the Yang Qi is also the strongest. If this guy dares to make a mistake, then
But don't blame me for calling him.
I stepped forward quickly, and as soon as I opened the door, a gust of wind suddenly pushed the door open. At the same time, Dao Master's big black dog also roared crazily.
"Quan'er, shut up and stop howling."
Master Dao shouted at the black dog, and the dog named "Quan'er" immediately closed his mouth and sat cross-legged at Master Dao's feet.
The man at the door was wearing a Qing Dynasty soldier's armor. The skin on his face was dark and rough, and seemed to be shrouded in a black air. No features could be seen at all, and his hands were particularly weathered, like two dry branches. At the same time, he
The area around his body was soaked with water, exuding a fishy smell from the river.
Master Tao was surprised when he saw what the man was wearing. There was no such clothing these days, not to mention that the soldier's armor on this guy seemed to be quite old.
"Excuse me, what can I do for you?"
I swallowed a sip of saliva to soothe my dry throat and asked nervously.
"Can you help me collect the bones?"
The soldier lowered his head, spoke in a tight tone, and spoke in a vulgar manner.
Hearing this, Mr. Dao and I looked at each other. In the north, the owners of paper fire shops are basically "mundane" people. Therefore, searching for people's corpses, moving graves, and burying corpses are all within the scope of their profession.
matter.
"Are you looking for the body or moving the grave?"
When Master Tao said this, he subconsciously lit another candle on the table in the lobby. At the same time, he also lit three sticks of incense and placed them in front of the statue of the City God.
As the light in the lobby became brighter, I was surprised to find that this guy in military uniform had no shadow.
The Taoist nodded secretly, and then he turned back and glanced at the incense in front of the City God. At this moment, it had already been extinguished.
Naturally, I noticed this scene. All these visions can only mean one thing, that is, the soldier in front of me is definitely not a human being. At the same time, he has such a strong evil spirit that not even the City God can suppress him.
"I want to find the body, and this is the reward!"
While talking, the man handed an ancient jade to me.
"I'm sorry, we are planning to take a long trip in the near future, and we cannot accept your business."
Master Dao took a handful of floating dust from the table, then slowly walked forward and explained.
However, before Master Dao could reach the man, a puff of black smoke suddenly rose from the door, and then the man disappeared.
"Crack!"
There was a thunder, which made me tremble all over.
