Zhentian coffin

Kuncheng is located on the periphery of Shanghai. Due to the economic radiation of Shanghai, the prosperity of these years is no less than that of ordinary second-tier cities, but it is only slightly smaller.

Nowadays, there are not many old streets in Kuncheng, but there is still one on Nanjing Road. At the end of the street, there is a teahouse, which is ordinary and simple. Because of this, it has not been developed into a commercial teahouse. The customers are few and the business is very poor. , but the owner is never in a hurry. He comes to the teahouse early every day, sweeps the floor, wipes the tables, makes tea, listens to music, and when there are no guests, he just lies on the rocking chair, shaking the ancient cattail fan, and rests his eyes with his eyes closed.

He can achieve this contented look, naturally not because he has a good heart, but because he has long since had no worries about food and drink, not to mention the property he has now, just a job he secretly can bring to him. Big profits.

He is a broker. In ancient times, there was a business called dental firm. In modern times, it is called an intermediary. However, compared with ordinary real estate agents, his identity as a broker is a bit more mysterious. He introduces antiques to people. Whether it is stolen or just unearthed underground, he has channels to guide you, and even if you want some special things, he can find them for you.

This job as a broker has been handed down to him for the third generation. During the three generations, he has never had an accident in their hands. This is a golden sign in the Tao, so he is never short of business. Regular customers alone are enough for him to eat. Anyway, their business has not opened for three years, and they have been in business for three years.

"Boss, come for a Biluochun, three ripe"

Today, seeing that there was no one there, the shopkeeper was lying on the rocking chair again, but suddenly, he heard a shout, and opened his eyes immediately. The next moment, his eyes were wide open, because he saw a painting-like A man who looked like an exiled immortal stood in front of him, and even he felt suffocated for a moment with this respect.

······

"Boss, come for a Biluochun, three ripe"

Seeing the boss stunned for a moment, I immediately repeated the sentence, and cursed in my heart again, what kind of secret code is this fat man doing, Biluochun still counts it with servings, and it is so mature, do you think it is steak? , Fortunately, there is no one around, otherwise you will lose face and die.

"Biluochun can't be three mature, or fifty percent, how about it?"

"No, it needs to be three-ripe. It would be even better if we add some Yuqian Longjing."

"The Zhang family in Nancheng has been fat for three generations, but there is no one like you. May I ask who you are?"

After matching the strange secret codes, the shop owner was no longer shocked, and asked the source directly. He had seen all three generations of the Zhang family, but none of them were thin, let alone such a person who was so out of this world, he was not like a human being.

"Three generations are all fat. Ha, I'm just kidding. I'm Zhang Yugang's best friend. If Boss Bai doesn't believe me, I can call Fatty Zhang and ask him to talk to you."

"No need, I am a very important channel for the Zhang family. Unless it is a last resort or someone who absolutely believes in it, I will not tell others the secret code. Call me Laobai. If you need me, what do you need?"

"I need a fierce ghost or an evil thing next"

"What, you say it again?"

"Fierce ghost, the kind that is extremely ferocious, evil thing, an extremely sinister evil thing, the most powerful evil thing I want you to know"

"Young man, are you an evil person?"

"How to see"

"Fighting ghosts and evil things are extraordinary. Righteous ways can only get rid of them quickly, and only evil ways can use them for other purposes. I have been a broker for 50 years, and I shouldn't have to ask about it logically, but in the current era It has changed, and if you don’t make it clear, I’m sorry I can’t do anything.”

"Old Bai, do you think I seem evil?"

I pointed to myself and said, I'm really not bragging. With our current temperament, many people will believe that we are gods, but there are not many people who say that I am evil.

"not like"

"Isn't that enough? Lao Bai tells you sincerely, and I will answer sincerely. I use ghosts and evil things to be useful, but they will never be used to harm the common people. When I run out, I will send them to Xitian Bliss to play immediately." One play, but the specific reason, then it is inconvenient to say.”

"Okay, I believe you"

Lao Bai blurted out, he himself didn't believe it after he said it, why did he trust the other party so easily, could it be because of his face?

"Thank you for your understanding. If there is nothing else, I will come back tomorrow."

I nodded, cupped my hands, and turned to leave after he was sure. I can't have too many human relations with the broker, or they won't be able to deal with things fairly.

After I left from Lao Bai, I went to several other places, and they were all the way Fatty Zhang was here. To maintain the relationship, give gifts to those who should give gifts, and show up to those who should show up. And I am Fatty Zhang's agent. In the future, Fatty Zhang will still have to walk these paths by himself.

In a blink of an eye, one day passed, and I came to Lao Bai's side again, and Lao Bai looked more serious than yesterday.

"According to your request, I found one for you. Do you know which kind of ghost is the most ferocious in this world?"

"Ghosts with wronged souls naturally die unjustly. Ghosts who die with hatred are the most ferocious. They don't swallow their breath and cause harm to the world."

"No, no, you are wrong. The so-called most poisonous thing is the human heart. These ghosts who die unjustly and with hatred are ferocious, but they are not fierce enough. The most powerful ones should be the practitioners who actively seek death."

"A practitioner who actively seeks death, I don't quite understand"

"Of course you don't understand, because you are still young, you are in the prime of life, you are in full bloom, you haven't felt the hopeless feeling of death coming, the horror between life and death, how many people in this world do you think can be broken?" "

"Ten is less than one, or even a hundred is less than one"

"That's right, practitioners are also human beings, and they are human beings. Most people are afraid of death, especially the elderly. Seeing their bodies weaken day by day, and the footsteps of the god of death getting closer and closer, this feeling will What makes them crazy, especially those who practice, they practice hard all their lives, but what is the difference between them and ordinary people, birth, old age, sickness and death are still the same, if you look back at your life, how many people have not done anything wrong , Eighteen layers of hell is not easy to live in, but there is no hope for immortality, so what to do, regard death as life, then simply become a ghost..."

"So they take the initiative to seek death, and in order not to be taken away by black and white impermanence after death, they must try their best to improve their strength"

I added a sentence. Having said that, I completely understand it. In fact, this is another way of immortality. Those practitioners are afraid of death, and even more afraid that the bad things they have done before will suffer in the underworld, so they take the initiative Seeking death, turning himself into an evil ghost, in order to survive forever in the world.

"That's right, I'm looking for this kind of person for you. He was an old man in the country, and he did his duty all his life, but he couldn't stand life and death. Five years before his death, he calculated how much time he had, So he was in panic all day long, and finally, he decided to give it a go.

He made a tomb for himself. He wanted to cheat the underworld by feigning death, but he failed. Under this shadow, he took the evil way and used the evil method to kill dozens of people. body, to cultivate one's hostility, to nourish Yinshen, and to get rid of the flesh, and when he dies, it will be just a shell, and he has already escaped from the shell."

"Where is this person now"

"In his hometown, all the family members of this person's behavior knew about it. After his death, his son demolished the earth temple in the village, rebuilt the temple, exchanged the civet cat for the prince, and placed his father's soul in the statue of the earth temple. , and then deliberately spread rumors to cause trouble, and asked the villagers to enshrine it. Now it has been seven or eight years since he got his incense, and the big trouble is over."

"Seven or eight years, no one stopped it?"

"Yes, and they paid a heavy price. Three mages died alone."

"Because of a living person?"

"Yes, because of the living"

"very tricky"

I let out a long sigh. Although Lao Bai didn't say anything, I can guess that the old man's son is definitely a local bully. I'm afraid the whole village is under his control. Can the fierce ghost's old way beat a village? This is not a small village in the middle of a mountain. There are only a few dozen households, and a few thousand people is not unusual.

Under the control of these village tyrants, let alone some sorcerers, even if the police came, it would be useless. Think about how big a battle Hai Lufeng sent out when he wanted to move them.

"Because it's so tricky, no one has dared to touch it for several years, so that now, many people are talking about it."

"Didn't you report it to the relevant department?"

"Hehe, do you count on them? Cannonballs, cannonballs, not only murderous cannonballs, but also sugar-coated cannonballs."

"I took this job, what price do I have to pay"

I immediately agreed. No matter what historical reasons there are, the scourge will not be cured, but for me, now is the best target for practicing hands. If there is no challenge at all, then what is the use of practicing hands.

"There is no need for any price. Since this village has been blessed by ghosts and gods, it has started to dominate and threaten several surrounding villages. The people around dare not speak out. The real disaster can even pay you."

"Haha, so there is such a good thing, when can I go?"

I laughed and said, in fact, this kind of thing is known when you think about it. That village is protected by ancestor ghosts, so what are you afraid of? The surrounding villages have to obey if they refuse to accept it. Isn't it right to do a little bit of bullying after a position of power? Several mages have been killed, so it is only natural to do some evil things.

"Are you in such a hurry?"

"Well, time is precious, I don't want to waste it"

"In the afternoon, you come back in the afternoon, and then there will be a special person to contact you, asking you not to talk anymore?"

"It's not too much to solve my basic necessities of life"

"It's not too much at all, you can mention it again"

"No, that's enough, I'll come back this afternoon"

I nodded, money, things outside of the body, enough is enough, there is no need for too much, those villages have been bullied for many years, they must not be rich, there is no need to ask others for money.

In the afternoon, I came to Lao Bai again. Lao Bai brought a middle-aged man in his 40s and [-]s. When he saw me, he was very excited. He even knelt down in front of me and burst into tears. Confused, what's going on?
