"What? You want two gifts?"
We had no disputes with the guy with the crew cut, but now he is shamelessly asking us for things.
This is the first time I have met such a shameless person. I am afraid that even if you prick his face with a steel needle, it won't bleed.
I couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.
The man with a crew cut stared at me with contempt.
Master Jiang next to me quickly pulled my arm and stopped me from speaking.
Then Master Jiang said to the man with the crew cut in a deep voice, "Well, since this is our first meeting, it would be very distant if we didn't prepare some gifts. How about this, little brother, you can only accept one gift. Although we are ghost hunters, there are probably not many things that you would like."
"Please do me a favor and just take one."
But what made Master Jiang and I angry was that the man with the buzz cut raised his neck, showing his nose hairs, and said arrogantly: "No, you can't miss any gift. If you miss one, don't even think about whether you can see my master. Even if you want to leave here, it may not be that easy."
As he spoke, the man with a crew cut slowly picked up the whistle he had just used to control the zombies.
Seeing the crew-haired man holding out the whistle, Master Jiang said hurriedly, "Okay, okay... In that case, we agree!"
Although Master Jiang spoke politely, I found that his face was as cold as a piece of ice.
"Okay, you guys know what's best for you!"
Then the man with the crew cut put down the whistle in his hand and put it in his pocket.
Then he stretched out his hand to Master Jiang and said coldly, "Give it to me."
Master Jiang gritted his teeth and took out a box from his cloth bag and handed it to the man with a crew cut.
When the man with a crew cut saw Master Jiang take out the box, anticipation and greed appeared on his face.
The box looked very old, with some simple patterns carved on it.
When the crew cut guy opened the box, I found a small flower inside. The flower looked a bit like a wild flower, but I knew that if it was just a wild flower, Master Jiang would not have given it to the crew cut guy as a gift.
Short hair man
When I saw the flower, I immediately called out its name.
"Chrysanthemum! Haha... Not bad, not bad!"
The man with a crew cut was very satisfied with Master Jiang's gift.
Although I have never seen seven-leaf chrysanthemum, when I heard the name, I thought of the description in Yin Yang Soul Crossing Notes.
The notes say that chrysanthemum grows in extremely hot places, usually only near the craters of erupting volcanoes. If chrysanthemum is dried and brewed into tea, it can increase one's yang energy.
Seven-leaf chrysanthemum is relatively rare.
Grabbing the box of chrysanthemums in his hand, the man with a crew cut glanced at me.
He asked, "What about yours, kid?"
I really don't want to give him anything, but now there are four stiff zombies standing there. If I don't take out something, I'm afraid that the unfriendly man with a crew cut in front of me will really attack me and Master Jiang.
Looking at the character of the man with a crew cut, he even dares to dig graves. I'm afraid there is nothing he dares not do.
When Master Jiang saw the cold look in my eyes, he signaled me with his eyes not to be impulsive.
He asked me in a low voice, "Brother Tianyi, can you take out a gift? If not, can I help you get one out? "
"Thank you, Master Jiang. No, I'll get it myself!"
Master Jiang nodded and said nothing.
At this time, the man with a crew cut opposite was getting a little impatient.
He urged unhappily: "Boy, hurry up, I don't have time to wait for you here, I still have things to do!"
I glared at the man with a crew cut, then I took out a small piece of ghost poison the size of a fingernail from my cloth bag and handed it to him.
Originally, the ghost poison on my body was the size of a palm, but when I went back last time, I divided the ghost poison into five small pieces, and the one I handed to the man with a crew cut was the smallest piece.
When he saw me handing over a small cloth bag, the man with the crew cut's eyes became more intense, with a cold light flickering in them.
Maybe he thought that something wrapped in a piece of rag could not be a good thing.
But when he opened the cloth, the man with a crew cut was stunned.
He looked a little unhappy at first, but soon after seeing Gui Du, his expression suddenly became bright.
"this..
... .This is ghost poison! Such a big piece of ghost poison! Tsk tsk, not bad, not bad! ... "
The man with the crew cut looked very excited, as if he had seen a beauty he hadn't seen in a thousand years.
I ignored the crew-haired guy and said in a deep voice, "We should be able to meet your master this time, right?"
The crew-haired man smiled and said subconsciously, "Yes, yes, yes!"
However, he probably felt that he shouldn't be like this in front of me and Master Jiang, and soon his expression returned to his previous arrogant and indifferent look.
In order to hide his embarrassment, he pretended to cough twice.
Then he still raised his neck and said in a cold voice: "Ahem, okay, in consideration of your gifts, I will introduce you to my master in the underworld, but whether my master sees you or not is not up to me!"
"Okay, thank you very much, brother!" Master Jiang said in a deep voice.
Then the man with a crew cut put away the box and the small piece of ghost pill in his hand.
He picked up the kerosene lamp, turned around and walked slowly behind him. When he got to the grave he had just dug up, he shouted to the dark pit, "Heimao, come up!"
Master Jiang and I followed behind the man with a crew cut, so we could see the situation nearby clearly.
Then we were surprised to see that the black dog had slowly dragged a corpse out of the pit. The corpse was an old man, and the body had not yet completely decayed, but it still exuded an unpleasant corpse odor.
The black dog bit the shroud on the corpse and dragged it out of the grave.
Seeing our surprised faces, the crew-haired man snorted coldly and muttered, "Look at you, you look like you have never seen the world!"
And then there were even more shocking scenes.
The crew-haired man muttered something to the black dog, and the black dog actually slowly led the four zombies that were frozen there into the depths of the bamboo forest.
There was a bamboo stretcher-like object next to the grave. The man with a crew cut placed the body on it and dragged the rope towards the depths of the bamboo forest.
Seeing us standing there in a daze, the man with the crew cut said unhappily, "What are you doing?"
Are you leaving or not? If not, then leave here. If you are leaving, then hurry up and follow me, I don’t have time to stay here with you.”
Neither Master Jiang nor I spoke.
We followed the man with a crew cut and walked slowly.
The man with the buzz cut was dragging the rack with the corpse on it on the road without saying a word. But seeing him walking through the bamboo forest with ease, I knew that this was probably not the first time he had done this.
The man with a crew cut stopped once on the road to rest.
During the break, he asked me if I still had any ghost poison
Ghost poison is not so easy to obtain. You have to know that it was obtained after Master Chu and Master Qi teamed up to deal with the red-dressed woman who was about to turn into an evil ghost. So for us Taoists, ghost poison is still very precious.
I lied to the guy with the crew cut and told him I had no more.
The crew-haired guy was probably a little unhappy when he heard me say that there was no more. He muttered, "I told you that you were lucky to get such a big piece of ghost poison. It seems that you really have no more!"
I didn't talk to the guy with the crew cut.
I have a deep dislike for him.
If people could spit without restraint, I think the first thing I would spit would be on the face of the guy with a crew cut.
The flashlight was turned on, and I found a small path appeared on this side of the bamboo forest not long after walking.
The winding path leads into the depths of the bamboo forest.
After walking for about 20 minutes, Master Jiang and I saw the light ahead. It was the light in front of the bamboo house deep in the bamboo forest.
The light was very bright, attracting many insects. Because there was a layer of glass cover outside, when the insects flew towards the light, they hit the glass and made a "crackling" sound, just like the sound of dull drums.
When I approached the bamboo house, I subconsciously covered my mouth and nose with my hands.
Because there was a strong smell of blood in the bamboo forest. The smell was not just a simple smell of blood, but a smell of blood that was a bit rotten.
The air here is a bit humid and chilly compared to other places.
"This is where my master lives!"
The crew-haired man said in a deep voice.
Then he placed the body
After pulling the shelf aside, he slowly walked towards the bamboo house.
Before he left, he told us, "Wait here for a while. I'll go inform my master and see if he wants to see you!"
"Okay! Then hurry up!"
I said in a deep voice.
This time, the man with the crew cut didn't say anything cold to me. He glared at me and Master Jiang and left.
To be honest, I felt a little uncomfortable when I came here.
I was not only disgusted by the strong smell of blood around the bamboo house, but also by the damp and cold air. I was even more surprised that the corpse breeder named Zhang Quezi actually lived in such a place.
I thought to myself, even if one is a corpse breeder, there is no need to make his residence look like the underworld.
Of course, I have no idea what the underworld is like, but this place feels pretty much like what I imagined the underworld to be like.
Master Jiang saw that I was still covering my mouth and nose, so he said to me, "It's okay. The smell of blood here is not poisonous. It just chokes your nose a little. You don't have to worry about it."
I nodded, but kept my hand over my nose.
I asked Master Jiang in a muffled voice, "Master Jiang, are you sure that 'Zhang the Cripple' really has the black-bearded fruit? Why do I feel that the Zhang the Cripple you mentioned is not a good person? Look at where he lives, it's not a place for humans to live."
Master Jiang said in a deep voice, "It's not wrong that he lives here. I just heard it from my friend accidentally. But you said that the place where he lives doesn't look like a human residence. You'd better not say such things later, otherwise we may offend that lame Zhang, and he might harm us! He is said to be very strange!"
Then Master Jiang said, "Look at this place, the blood is thick, it must be a corpse-raising site, just right for corpse-raising people, so it's not surprising that Zhang the Lame is staying here!"
"A place for raising corpses?"
I don't know what a corpse raising ground is! There is very little mention of corpse raising in the Yin Yang Soul Crossing Notes.
However, if we understand it literally, a corpse raising ground may mean raising corpses underground. But how to raise corpses to turn them into controllable zombies, I don’t know.
If I knew, I might be able to raise corpses.
