"Uncle Jiu, what should we do?"
Awei pushed his glasses up with trembling hands, refusing to look at the dead body on the ground no matter what, and his legs kept shaking.
If Uncle Jiu hadn't been around, he would have been the first one to run away!
Uncle Jiu looked around Gao's mansion. It looked like the residence of a wealthy person and was quite large, with three rooms on the left, three rooms on the right, and three rooms in the front and back.
Looking at the moonlight again, it is estimated that it will be midnight soon. At that time, the yin energy will reach its heaviest.
"Awei, ask your people to search around the yard to see if there is anything unusual?"
Uncle Jiu knew that one person's power was ultimately weak, so he took out a stack of talismans from his arms and placed them in Awei's hand.
"Carry this talisman with you. If you encounter the ghost, the talisman will become hot. Just shout and I will come to you!"
Uncle Jiu was very confident. Although the Gao Mansion was big, it was not too big. As long as anything happened, he could just climb over the wall by kicking it twice.
Back then, he and a group of fellow apprentices tried to cheat on their junior sister, but they were often beaten by their master.
Come to think of it, we were really young and frivolous back then, so why did we make an appointment to go fishing together
Just go alone, you are young and ignorant!
Uncle Jiu thought the matter through very well, but Awei looked hesitant. Not only him, but all the members of the security team silently took a few steps back.
The meaning was obvious: they didn't want to help Uncle Jiu.
Why
They are just small security guards and their salary is just enough to make a living. There is no need for them to work so hard for such a meager salary.
It's better to be safe than sorry. What if you run into a ghost and die
Even if I lose money, I'm done for, so what's the point of asking for money
When a person dies, not only is his money useless, but his wife may not even be his!
Looking at them, their eyes were looking at their noses, and their noses were looking at their hearts, as if they saw nothing and heard nothing.
Uncle Jiu opened his mouth, and silently put down the hand that was holding the talisman. Only then did he remember the kindness of his two apprentices.
Even though he cheated a little bit at ordinary times, at least he meant what he said. He asked to seduce female ghosts and never male ghosts. He was very efficient!
"Hey, Master!"
Russell curled his lips and said, "Do you know what the most powerful method in the world is?"
Without waiting for Uncle Jiu to answer, Russell took out a small yellow croaker from his arms and said, "Add more money!"
The originally dull little yellow croaker somehow emitted an exceptionally dazzling light in Russell's hands, instantly attracting the attention of everyone present.
It wasn't just the gazes, but also the sound of everyone swallowing saliva.
A small yellow croaker is basically equivalent to their annual salary.
"If you find any trace of the female ghost, you will be rewarded with a small yellow croaker. If you are able to catch it, huh, you don't have that ability!"
Russell shook the small yellow croaker in his hand, and this trick really worked. It was worthy of being the most famous superpower in the universe.
Those security guards who were originally lazy and didn't want to do anything suddenly became excited and started screaming.
One by one, they obediently took the talisman papers from Uncle Jiu's hands and ran faster than rabbits. Anyway, they had the talisman papers in their hands and Uncle Jiu was there, so the possibility of death was very small.
If you find it, you’ll win the prize!
Russell crossed his arms in front of his chest and showed off in front of his uncle, who shook his head helplessly.
He is an old hand in this world, so he naturally knows that interests can move people, but he just didn't think of it just now.
It’s really not his fault. He was very poor before, so how could he become rich overnight
I really don’t want to be rich!
Uncle Jiu put his hands behind his back, with a solemn look on his face. Tonight is the Ghost Festival, and ghosts are rampant. He hopes there won't be any more trouble.
Just as he was thinking, a security guard seemed to have discovered something and shouted loudly.
"Uncle Jiu, there seems to be a dead person in here!"
Uncle Jiu's expression changed and he walked over quickly. Awei wanted to follow him but was stopped by Russell.
Awei looked at Russell. Although Russell was short, barely as tall as his thigh, he did not dare to underestimate him.
This is Uncle Jiu’s favorite cub!
Renjia Town is famous for being petty!
He showed a flattering expression on his face, "Little Taoist priest, what's the matter?"
Russell looked at him with a playful look in his eyes. Awei, who was trying to please him reluctantly, would never have thought how awesome he was in another world.
There is a beautiful tattoo on the chest, which is very eye-catching.
"Awei, go gather the servants in Gao's house together, don't let them run around, and seal the gate!"
As Russell spoke, he took out several paper talismans from somewhere and stuffed them into Awei's hands, "Go and put the talismans on the wall and the door."
He did this just in case. Judging from the tragic situation at the scene, the ghost had a deep resentment. If it was delayed until midnight, the yin energy would be extremely heavy and the ghost would be even more difficult to deal with.
Whether running away or attracting wandering ghosts from outside, it would be a disaster!
If a ghost wants to become stronger, the fastest and most convenient way is to devour the energy of other ghosts.
It doesn’t matter on normal days, but once you encounter such a powerful and seriously injured ghost, it will definitely cause other ghosts to scramble for it!
Awei didn't understand, but he knew this was a way to please Uncle Jiu, so he nodded quickly.
"Do something for me, you're sure you'll get some benefits!"
Russell took out a dollar from his arms, threw it gently, and it made a crisp sound in the air and fell steadily into Awei's arms.
Awei's face instantly lit up with joy. He was still a pauper now. Although he was a captain, it depended on his position.
This is Renjia Town. Everyone here is either his uncle or an elder, or a distant relative.
If he dares to do anything evil, his uncle will come and break his legs tomorrow!
One dollar can pay off a month's salary. Awei patted his chest with his hands, and was so excited that he almost swore to the sky.
I, Awei, am reliable and a good young man in society!
Russell shook his head and didn't bother to pay attention to him. The world is so wonderful. Sometimes, even a small change can affect a person's life.
strangeness
I have been reborn for eight years, why are Wencai and Qiusheng still so stupid
Were they both under some kind of evil spell
Russell, with malicious speculation, had already walked into the inner room. Uncle Jiu was standing beside the table, looking carefully at a bowl on the table.
There was also a tragedy scene in the house. An old woman was lying on the ground with a terrified look on her face and her pupils dilated, as if she had been frightened to death.
On the bed, a woman was lying on bloody sheets, half leaning against the wall, her eyes closed, her face dead and expressionless.
The belly looks a little big, I don’t know how many months old the baby is.
Russell couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Reincarnation was not easy. Every time he was reincarnated, he had to suffer hardships. He had to work constantly in the underworld to earn good karma in order to wash away his sins and reincarnate.
Babies like this are the most pitiful. They work hard to earn enough merit for karma, but then have to give it all back. How many years of hard work does such a small ghost have to do to earn enough merit for reincarnation
As he sighed, Uncle Jiu slowly put down the bowl in his hand and uttered a word from between his teeth.
"Five Elements Grass!"
Russell frowned, and it took him a while to recall the word from his mind. It was the medical classic that Uncle Jiu brought back from Maoshan - Mr. Li's "Compendium of Materia Medica".
“Five Elements Grass.
Also known as purslane and purslane.
It is cold in nature, disperses blood and reduces swelling, helps bowel movements and promotes abortion. Pregnant women should not eat it! "
For a moment, Russell seemed to be possessed by Conan and could instantly deduced the general process of the incident.
There are men and women of different ages in the yard, a woman who had a miscarriage on the bed, an old woman who was frightened to death on the ground, and five elements of herbs on the table.
Russell frowned. Isn't this guy the male version of Pan Jinlian
This is even better than Pan Jinlian!
How could he be so cruel to his own wife and children
"Trouble!" Uncle Jiu said in a deep voice. Russell had watched more than a thousand episodes of Conan and was proficient in eight hundred techniques, so he could deduce the general situation.
But Uncle Jiu doesn’t need to, because in this chaotic world, nothing is impossible.
Uncle Jiu has seen countless things even more cruel than this!
Perhaps this was one of the reasons why he was so disheartened and chose to stay in Renjia Town.
Human hearts are both good and bad. The good ones are admirable, while the bad ones are horrifying and hateful.
Russell nodded as well, "Yeah, it's really troublesome to open the door for trouble - it's really troublesome."
When encountering such things and such hatred, the resentment would pile up to the sky.
I guess there will be a fierce battle tonight!
Just when Uncle Jiu and Russell were having a headache, a strange laugh came from the room, which was particularly weird.
Before they could react to what was happening, the security guard who was leading the way was so scared that he sat down on the ground, pointing a trembling finger behind the two men.
"ghost!"
"What?"
Uncle Jiu and Russell turned back hurriedly, only to see strange bloodstains on the wall. Upon closer inspection, they found that they were hand prints and footprints, one by one heading towards the roof.
Russell waved his right hand, and the soul-binding lock in his hand flew out, following the general direction of the palm print and directly surrounding it.
As soon as the chain was pulled, the strange laughter stopped immediately.
Russell activated his magic power, waved his finger in front of his eyes, and his magic eyes suddenly opened. He blinked and was stunned.
I saw a half-grown baby tied up with a soul-catching chain, with a sullen face, looking aggrieved and as if he was about to cry.
this…
Russell couldn't help scratching his head and doubting his life. This cute little ghost doll didn't look like a murderous ghost at all.
He looked at Uncle Jiu, but Uncle Jiu stared at the little kid with wide eyes and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
"Spiritual baby?"
…
"Third brother, where do you think that ghost is?"
One person rubbed his hands. It was summer and the night was still a little hot, but as soon as he entered the yard, his whole body felt cold.
If it weren't for that little yellow croaker, he would have run away from this evil place long ago.
He looked at the corridors on the left and right. There was a small courtyard with running water underneath. He was really a wealthy dog owner.
The two brothers had already looked for a hidden place, but couldn't find it.
"Hmm!" The man called Third Brother snorted and said disdainfully, "Are you really going to look for it? This kind of luck-based thing, how can the two of us encounter it?"
The third brother looked around and said carefully, "I'm telling you, you're a newcomer, you don't know much yet, and when you work in the security team, you make big mistakes if you do big things, small mistakes if you do small things, and no mistakes if you don't do anything."
The newcomer was confused by what he heard. The third brother looked like an experienced person. He patted him on the shoulder and sighed, "Young people are full of energy. When you reach my age, you will understand that fishing in troubled waters is the right way to go!"
The new guy was still a little unwilling and gestured with his hands, "Third brother, that's just a small yellow croaker, our annual salary is only that much."
"snort!"
The third brother shook his head. Young people are just young people. They go to their heads over a small amount of money.
Are ghosts so easy to see
Let alone a ghost, even if you have seen a dead person, your legs would probably tremble and you wouldn't be able to stand steadily. Who do you think you are
How can you remain calm even when Mount Tai is collapsing in front of you
You're just a normal person.
The third brother really didn't want to discourage this rookie, so he had to change his words, "This courtyard is so big, and there are so many people here, even if I step on dog shit, I can't touch it!"
The newcomer looked straight behind him and swallowed his saliva, "Third... Third brother, it seems that you really stepped in dog shit."
The third brother didn't understand what was going on. He suddenly felt a chill on his back. The newcomer raised his hand tremblingly. The talisman paper in his hand was frighteningly bright.
Damn it!
"Uncle Jiu! Help!"
The third brother is indeed a veteran. He didn't even look back, but dragged the newcomer and ran away for his life, still shouting desperately.
On the other hand, the newcomer just stood there in a daze. If the third brother hadn't pulled him back, he would have definitely made the female ghost blossom.
At the end of the corridor, a woman looked at the two people fleeing with an expressionless face, her left hand slowly touching her stomach, and the scissors in her right hand were still dripping with blood.
A black aura permeated her body, and the temperature around her continued to drop. The flowing water in the summer actually slowly froze into frost.
She seemed to be thinking about something, or not thinking about anything, just standing there quietly. Footsteps were heard from the other end of the corridor.
The woman slowly raised her head and saw a man in a brightly colored Taoist robe slowly walking towards her. She knew this man.
The Taoist priest of Kaiyi Zhuang—Uncle Jiu!
Uncle Jiu held the peach wood sword in his hand and looked at her solemnly. The woman did not speak either. She slowly raised her right hand and looked at the scissors dripping with blood and pondered for a long time.
"I'm dead?"
The tone was so bland and terrifying that even Uncle Nine couldn't help but shudder.
Seeing that Uncle Jiu didn't say anything, the woman seemed to understand something. She lowered her eyelids, clenched her hands, and countless black air filled the air around her.
Uncle Jiu was shocked. Oh my god, he already had a lot of resentment, why did it suddenly expand so much now
He spoke hastily, trying to calm the situation, "Wait a minute, if you have any unfulfilled wishes, I can help you solve them."
"Help me, haha!"
Uncle Jiu's words seemed to have the opposite effect. The woman became more and more manic. Countless black air flew in from all directions, and the originally dark sky became even darker.
Her face was ferocious, but she became calm in an instant. However, the calmer she was, the more fearful Uncle Jiu became.
The woman spoke up, and she said faintly, "Uncle Jiu, can you give birth to a child?"
"ah!?"
Uncle Jiu looked stunned. What was the question
But in a blink of an eye, he realized that he really couldn't have children, but the obsession in this female ghost's heart must be that child!
I'm afraid this evening won't end well!
Uncle Jiu took a deep breath and was just about to perform the ritual to help her to be reborn, but the woman's hair started flying and blood was flowing from her seven orifices. She was already beginning to lose consciousness and was shaking her head frantically.
"No one can take my child away from me, no one!"
She roared and turned into a ball of black gas, pouncing at Uncle Jiu with her fangs and claws. Halfway through her flight, the woman immediately stopped and restrained her fangs and claws.
His originally ferocious look immediately turned gentle.
The fluttering hair was now much calmer.
There was no bleeding from any orifices, no sharp teeth or fangs at all.
The expression changed so quickly that Uncle Jiu was stunned. He held the peach wood sword in his hand, not knowing whether to go up or not.
What's going on
Uncle Jiu followed the woman's gaze and turned his head warily. It turned out that it was Russell who came, but he was not the focus.
It was some doll that used its hair to make a chicken coop on Russell's head.
The woman looked at the doll with trembling hands and wanted to reach out to touch it, but she stopped before she took two steps.
She pulled her hand back stiffly, then turned around and knelt down in front of Uncle Jiu with a bang. Uncle Jiu seemed to understand what she was going to do and did not choose to avoid her.
After a loud kowtow, the woman's body became a little more illusory. After nine kowtows, the woman looked at the doll reluctantly and completely disappeared between heaven and earth.
"Why!"
Uncle Jiu sighed and couldn't help scratching his head in distress. It seemed that he had gotten into a lot of trouble by coming out to get rid of a ghost.
"Master!" Russell glanced at the little ghost playing with his hair with resentment, "What should we do with this little ghost?"
"You can raise him. He will call you daddy from now on."
"What? I'm only eight years old. How can I be a nanny?"
"What, little Russell, you agree? That's great. It's settled."
"You are going too far! You have violated the criminal law and illegally employed child labor!"
"Whose criminal law is this? Why haven't I heard of it?"
"… "
"Don't worry, don't worry. You can't bear to see a child go back to the underworld and be bullied by others, right?"
"Aren't you still here, Master?"
"Hey, can you bear to see Master, at such an old age, to work so hard?"
"… "
Is being in your forties considered hard work
Looking at the rogue Uncle Nine, Russell made a bitter face. He glanced at the happy little devil on his head and couldn't help sighing.
He failed to hook up with the young lady, but ended up becoming a father
I'm an eight-year-old child!
This is outrageous!
ps: I'm going to be lazy for a moment and just write 5000 words today. There are really few remaining plots that I can't write into a chapter. If I do, it will be too watery.
These days, the monthly tickets are doubled. Those who have monthly tickets, please support me. I will definitely pay back the monthly tickets I owe you by updating more chapters.
I haven't decided what to do with this doll yet. Can you guys brainstorm and tell me whether to keep it or not
Or turn her into Feng Baobao
