My master is the coffin

Chapter 501

Xiaoqi led us into the small restaurant, and I saw several other Taoist priests there.They were sitting around a table, talking fiercely.

I walked over and asked them, "Who of you can tell me what's going on?"

The boss came over and said in a low voice: "Let's keep a low profile here, the people in this place are not humans, they are all ghosts."

I can't help but want to say fart.But after thinking about it, I held back.

I asked the boss: "Everyone?"

Then I pointed to the boss standing behind the counter with a melancholy face: "That kid too?"

The boss shook his head: "He is not, except for him, everyone else is."

I sat down and asked, "What's going on?"

The boss said: "The boss's surname is Zhou, and we all call him Lao Zhou. Two days ago, the person he entrusted said that there was something dirty in their house and wanted us to clean it up for him. As a result, my master never came back. We found out later that he was taken away."

I waved my hand and asked Lao Zhou to come over.

Lao Zhou walked over timidly, I saw his eyes dodging, and his face was still wounded.Can't help but a little funny.

I looked at the boss and asked, "Did you hit him?"

The boss said angrily, "Can you stop beating me? This kid is not telling the truth at all. Why is he messing with something dirty? Now I suspect that he is in the same group as those brats and tricked my master over here."

I asked Lao Zhou: "Tell me, what's going on."

Old Zhou opened his mouth, and I saw that his two front teeth were gone.He said: "I really didn't mean it. I didn't know the situation was so serious before. Well, the village, they all turned into ghosts."

I waved my hand: "Speak carefully, who has become a ghost? Why didn't you become a ghost?"

Lao Zhou said with some embarrassment: "I'm fine, because I'm not from this village."

Seeing our surprised looks, Lao Zhou explained: "They are all native residents. I am not. I came here as a married couple. Have you seen this store? It's not mine, my wife's, and the children don't follow me. surname."

I nodded: "And then?"

Lao Zhou sighed, and said, "At the beginning, I agreed to join the family because I wanted to eat enough to eat. I didn't find out until I arrived in this village. It's not like that at all. They are all sick."

I asked, "How?"

Lao Zhou said: "I found that people in this village believe that they came from the underworld. They burn incense and worship Buddha every day, and they worship the Lord of the Underworld. Here, people generally don't quarrel. Killed. They are not afraid of death, they feel that if they die, they will go home.”

Wushuang glanced at me and said, "You are really right."

I asked Lao Zhou: "So you regretted it, wanted a divorce, and were afraid that they would kill you, so you brought the fat man here?"

Lao Zhou shook his head: "Wow. I want to divorce every day, but I don't dare. As soon as the word divorce is said, my wife's knife can be put on my neck. If I didn't beg for mercy immediately, I would The head has already moved. In her words, if you kill it, you will kill it, and at worst, find another man."

I couldn't help but be speechless: "Does the government not care?"

Lao Zhou sighed: "In this remote village, there are only two small policemen in the town, who don't even have pistols. They dare to enter the village? There are a group of desperadoes here. If it's not too much, even the county is open. One eye, one eye closed."

I nodded and asked, "What happened next?"

Lao Zhou said: "I didn't get a divorce after that. I wanted to run away. But it didn't work. Finally, I thought of a way, and I said to my wife, let's open a restaurant. If we earn money, we can buy some furniture." I begged for this for two months, and she finally agreed. This restaurant just opened. I’ve thought about it a long time ago. This village is on a traffic artery. If there is such a restaurant, pedestrians must be here I’m going to settle down, so I’ll beg them to send me a message, they have to save me.”

I nodded: "You have spent a lot of trouble."

Lao Zhang took a sip of his tea and said, "You have to be cautious. Otherwise, if my wife catches you, you will be killed. But I didn't expect that after the restaurant opened, all the people who eat are from the village, and people from other villages dare not enter the village at all. All of them walked around, it seems that the bad name of this village has long been spread."

"Probably, almost a month ago. Two people came to the village. No, it should be three people. These three people are real outsiders. I want them to help me send a message to the outside. But then I found out , these people don’t seem normal. Besides, they didn’t leave the village, they just disappeared like that..."

I heard the cloud covering the fog: "What do you mean? What do you mean just disappear like that?"

Lao Zhou frowned and said, "It's just what my wife said. Their village is very taboo against outsiders. At that time, I only saw these three people entering the village, but I didn't see them leaving the village. They have been looking for it for a long time."

I tapped the table with my hand: "It seems that this place is really unusual."

Lao Zhou said: "Three days later, all the men, women and children in the village suddenly went crazy. It was like celebrating the New Year, and every house was decorated with lanterns and festoons. Especially my wife. She wore red and green all day long, and she was dressed like a demon. Yes. I feel like she has raised a little boy outside. Hey, if she really has a little boy, it would be fine, kick me away so I can escape, but that's not the case. "

I patted him on the shoulder: "What is the truth?"

Lao Zhou said: "Actually. I didn't know until they were busy for a few days. Lord Yan came to this village. They celebrated all day long to welcome the arrival of King Hades."

With a smile on the corner of Wushuang's mouth, he said faintly: "I didn't see anyone coming to pick me up?"

I also laughed: "I guess they all went to surround that counterfeit, but they forgot about the real owner."

Lao Zhou swallowed nervously: "My wife has been kneeling and offering incense in that temple for the past two days. She has no time to take care of me, so I have more time. Exactly a week ago, a young man from other places came from here. Passed by. I begged my grandpa to tell my grandma, and begged him to help me find a Taoist priest who knows magic from outside. Save me.”

I frowned and said, "Judging from the situation you just described, your wife and her fellow villagers are at best insane and delusional. Why did you hire Taoist priests?"

Lao Zhou took a sip of tea and said nervously, "Because I saw two of my wives that day."

I couldn't help but exclaimed: "What?"

Lao Zhou smiled wryly: "I was much younger than your reaction at the time. However, I was not calm, I was scared stupid."

"That day my wife went to the temple to offer incense again. I happened to pass by the gate of the temple, and then I saw her coming out of the temple."

"I was about to greet her when I suddenly saw another one coming out from behind."

"The one in the back was obviously startled when she saw the one in front. Then she strangled the neck of the one in front and wrung her head off."

"I was so scared that I fell to the ground."

"I know this rule. If I see it, I will die. So I rolled and crawled and hid in a small alley."

"I was lying on the dirt floor, shaking all over and waiting. I don't know if my wife saw me. In fact, I don't know if it was my wife."

"I waited for 15 minutes, but no one came. Only then did I know that my little life was saved. I took a long breath, and I smelled a bad smell. Don't be afraid of your jokes, I pulled it on my pants inside."

I patted him on the shoulder: "I'm not laughing at you, you are quite brave."

Lao Zhou went on to say: "After I got home, I lay on the bed and tossed and turned. I didn't even dare to talk to my wife. The next day, no matter how I thought about it, I felt that something was wrong. A young man just happened to come, and I asked him to find him. A Taoist priest. Unexpectedly, they arrested this fat Taoist priest. Actually, I don’t know if he was arrested. Anyway, he entered that temple and never came out again. However, this Taoist priest absolutely It's a good man who didn't confess me, otherwise, my wife would have killed me long ago."

I nodded: "I probably know about this matter. The problem lies in that temple."

Lao Zhou quickly said, "That's right, that's right, it's that temple."
