Zhou Ze opened his lips slightly, then subconsciously grabbed the woman who was still walking forward.
The woman was a little surprised and glanced at Zhou Ze, not knowing what he intended to do.
"I take back what I said."
Zhou Ze gently twisted his neck.
"Your house is really dirty."
The woman's face showed a thoughtful look.
"Don't worry, I'm not a charlatan."
"I believe you are not a charlatan." The woman said seriously, "Besides, it's just a few million. It doesn't matter if I get cheated."
This,
It's Zabi.
So harsh.
A few million is just like a few hundred bucks, just to buy peace of mind
A spendthrift woman.
Zhou Ze mourned for the old man upstairs in his heart. Why was he still struggling at such an old age? Now all the family business he had worked so hard to build was going to fall into the hands of this woman
Fortunately, Zhou Ze still has some professional ethics. It was this woman who hired him, so he would not cause trouble.
Of course, in the eyes of Bai Yingying beside him, Zhou Ze and this woman at this moment really seemed to be in cahoots with each other, just like the new century version of Wu Dalang and Pan Jinlian.
If this were made into a TV series, the boss and this woman would be typical villains!
"Your husband is not mentally ill, there really is something dirty here. Let's not talk about the money for now. Let's talk slowly after I finish dealing with things here.
Yingying, take her upstairs."
"Boss, you are alone..." Bai Yingying didn't want to go up because the boss was injured.
At this moment, Zhou Ze really wanted to poke his maid's forehead with his middle finger. It didn't matter if something happened to him, but if something happened to this woman, who would he ask for the balance
The woman was very obedient. Even though she couldn't see anything, she at least showed an "I believe" attitude and took the initiative to step back.
What a smart woman! She is sensible, can change her temperament, is wild in bed and gentle outside of bed, can cook, act, and pretend to be considerate.
Zhou Ze looked at Bai Yingying again. Alas, his Yingying still had a lot to learn.
Under Zhou Ze's stern gaze, Bai Yingying could only accompany the woman upstairs. She needed to protect this woman and the old man.
After that, that family and Zhou Ze were the only ones left in the hall.
These people kept sitting upright, like elementary school students in class, sitting very straight, even the oldest old lady.
That old lady should be the original wife of the old man upstairs.
For ordinary people, even if the souls of their deceased relatives come back to visit, there would be only one or two at most. But this old man had a whole family, four generations living together. Zhou Ze counted them and found that there were more than twenty people.
The size of the visiting delegation was indeed huge, no wonder the old man was so scared.
If it was just a spouse or a child or a granddaughter coming back, it would be acceptable, but if the whole family came back together, anyone would be terrified.
Leaning on a crutch, Zhou Ze approached them. The closer he got, the more clearly he felt a cold feeling coming over him, and the air around him was also filled with a strong salty and humid smell.
It is said that the old man's family died at sea due to a cruise ship accident. As for whether there is any inside story, Zhou Ze is not sure and does not want to find out.
No matter what, if you calculate the amount, this family in front of me is a considerable achievement, which I can just take away.
“Gulp…”
“Gulp…”
The sound of water began to be heard around.
The sound of water came from the necks of these people, from old ladies to children of a few years old. Their necks were swollen like bloated frogs.
Next,
"Ugh..."
Everyone in the hall began to vomit.
Turbid and muddy sea water came out of their mouths, along with some dead fish and shrimps!
The hall before could only be described as if it had just been mopped.
And now,
It's like a seafood market, emitting a strong fishy smell, or like the smell of a room in a love hotel that has been used for a month without changing the sheets.
Zhou Ze covered his nose with his hand and raised his feet, only to find that the sea water had suddenly reached his ankles.
The hall was like a reservoir, and these twenty-odd people were like more than twenty faucets at the edge of the reservoir, pouring water into it.
The water gathered and did not disperse, slowly filling the hall.
Zhou Ze leaned over, pressed a middle-aged man's shoulder with one hand, and stabbed the man's shoulder directly with his growing nails.
“Sizzle, sizzle…”
The sound of frying in oil was heard, and thick black smoke began to rise from the middle-aged man, but he still sat there motionless, as if he was completely letting Zhou Ze do whatever he wanted.
“Crack…”
A crisp sound came from under Zhou Ze's feet.
then,
A green leather belt wrapped around Zhou Ze's arm. Zhou Ze stepped back subconsciously, but the belt was very agile and came straight towards him.
When one end of the belt was raised and was less than a decimeter away from Zhou Ze's eyes, it stopped.
This is not a belt, it is clearly a sea snake with a green body.
The sea snake spit out its tongue, and after it had mastered the perfect attack posture, it stopped, as if just to intimidate Zhou Ze.
The water around them began to increase, and the twenty-something people seemed to have endless vomiting out of the food in their stomachs. At this time, the water level in the living room had reached Zhou Ze's waist.
This is fake, but it is true.
Zhou Ze could choose to leave this feeling and then choose to leave, but that would mean admitting defeat and walking down from the ring on his own initiative.
Not to mention whether I can get the labor fee, I have no way to exchange the souls of this family for performance.
"Pah..."
The painting hanging on the wall of the living room was also washed down by the water and slowly floated to Zhou Ze's side.
Zhou Ze had thought that this statue was a bit strange before, because most of the statues hung in the living room of ordinary people's homes were Maitreya Buddha, Guanyin or the God of Wealth, but the god in the painting before him was obviously not a common one.
The portrait shows a man with a fish-like body but human hands and feet, riding a two-headed dragon. He must be a god, but ordinary people basically don't have this hanging, so it is considered non-mainstream.
At this time, the sea snake seemed to be slowly shrinking its body, and Zhou Ze also felt a clamping force on his wrist. This was a warning, the second warning.
Warning Zhou Ze,
This matter,
He didn't need to intervene.
The painting slowly rushed in front of Zhou Ze and touched Zhou Ze's body.
Zhou Ze frowned slightly and thought hard. Finally, he figured out who the person in the portrait was!
Therefore, I really have to thank myself for reading more books after becoming a bookstore owner. Every day when I have nothing to do, I sit on the sofa downstairs, drink coffee and read books, and I focus on catching up on the ancient strange stories.
This is... Poseidon!
For people today, when it comes to the sea god, the first thing that comes to mind seems to be Mazu or Poseidon. However, in fact, there is an even older sea god in the Chinese mythology system.
A passage in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, Great Wilderness Eastern Classic states: "There is a god on the island of the East Sea, with a human face and a bird body, with two yellow snakes on his ears and on his feet, and his name is Yuguo. The Yellow Emperor gave birth to Yuguo, who gave birth to Yujing. Yujing is in the North Sea, and Yuguo is in the East Sea. He is the god of the sea."
The ancient god of the sea. In fact, if you think about the fact that the old man upstairs started out in the maritime smuggling business, it is understandable that he would hang this statue at home.
But what does this mean
A group of relatives who died at sea suddenly returned for revenge five years later
Who brought them back
Who allowed them to come back
For those who died in a remote place or died an unexpected death, it is very difficult for their souls to return. Therefore, there is an important part in the folk custom of burning scriptures and paper money, which is "calling the soul", which means to let the soul of the person you want to commemorate come back to enjoy the commemoration and incense of future generations.
Those who died at sea either went straight to hell, or even if they survived as souls, they could only sink to the bottom of the sea or float around on some ghost ship, just like in "Pirates of the Caribbean".
Now, this is a family that has come back together, sitting upright, and looking for the old man to come and visit. There is no external force behind them, and no tacit approval from one party.
Is it possible
Could it be that
Is it really the sea god that is angry
It is almost certain that the old man's family died under strange circumstances, and the old man married this woman that year.
If a great god is really angry and comes to punish and punish,
I am just a little ghost messenger,
It seems that I really have no right to stop it
Moreover, they were fighting against a being in the sea just for the sake of "making money".
Isn’t it a bit silly
Zhou Ze raised his head. The woman and the old man should be upstairs. The woman wanted the old man to die naturally so that she could inherit the estate, and anything ghostly or divine wouldn’t be captured by surveillance cameras.
"Hey, buddy, let me discuss something. Can you make that old man die more naturally
Then, I will take the second wife of the old man upstairs away, okay?"
Zhou Ze asked the portrait.
“Sizzle!”
The sea serpent suddenly became angry.
He opened his fangs and bit Zhou Ze's chest.
Zhou Ze's eyes focused. He had been on guard against this snake. He immediately grasped the snake's tail with his fingertips, and its tongue stopped a few centimeters away from Zhou Ze's chest.
"Is there nothing to discuss? Give us some room for negotiation, brother."
Zhou Ze smiled bitterly.
Although I'm a ghost messenger, the lowest-level cadre in the underworld, I'm still a cadre after all. Don't ignore me like that, boss.
“Sizzle, sizzle!”
The sea snake twisted its body madly,
With a sound of "Baji",
The snake's body broke directly, and its head flew to Zhou Ze's chest and bit Zhou Ze's body.
In an instant,
What Zhou Ze felt was not the trauma of his body, but the pain in his soul, as if two holes had been pierced in his soul by a snake's fangs.
Cold sweat immediately broke out on Zhou Ze, and he half-knelt down, supporting himself on the ground with one hand to prevent himself from falling into the "water".
“Hu…Hu…”
Zhou Ze pulled the snake's head out forcefully.
The black nails crushed the snake's head directly.
"That's unreasonable..."
Zhou Ze muttered to himself, his face becoming increasingly gloomy.
Then, he slowly raised his head, and a black light was flowing in the depths of his eyes.
"Then I want to see if you can actually run from the sea to the land to show off!"
