In fact, fooling people is a way of life and a kind of fun. Fighting wits and courage with customers is a kind of enjoyment in life.
It was already half past six when the three of us arrived at the hotel. Looking at the hotel in front of me, I felt that it was more like a hostel than a hotel. Its name was Mengfang Hotel, but the main door looked like it could only accommodate three people walking side by side.
"Brother Cui, are you sure this is the place?" I looked at the restaurant in front of me and had a feeling of going back to the 1980s. I guess this so-called restaurant might have been quite luxurious twenty years ago.
"Yes, it's here. Don't be too picky. After all, this is already the outskirts of Harbin. Just make do with a hotel like this." Cui Zuofei seemed to be saying this righteously, but I had great doubts about the authenticity of Cui Zuofei's words, because there happened to be a three-star hotel not far from the Mengfang Hotel. Looking at Cui Zuofei, I had great doubts that he wanted to promote the traditional virtue of our great China - thrift.
I followed Cui Zuofei into the hotel and after searching for a while, I entered a private room called Youlixiang. After we entered the restricted area, we found that Yan Feng and the other two were already waiting for us.
At this time, the three of them had also changed into special forces combat uniforms. When they saw the three of us go in, Huangpu Duan pointed at Yi Xinxing and asked, "Who is he?"
"My brother, what's wrong? Can't you bring people to help or what?" Cui Zuofei didn't give Huangpu Duan any face at all.
Huangpu Duan snorted coldly and turned around to play with his dagger. Yan Feng also noticed that the atmosphere was not right, and immediately came out and said with a smile: "Okay, we are all family, there is no need to be like this, Brother Cui, tell me what is going on with this action tonight, it seems that this time it is not notified by the higher-ups."
"Yes, this matter was quite urgent and I didn't have time to inform the higher-ups. That's what happened." Cui Zuofei then told them.
In fact, the Red Gate Inn is really dangerous. We were lucky last time because we met that number one scholar. Otherwise, I would have died at that time.
"Is it really as you described?" Huangpu Duan, Yan Feng, and Shi Zhenhang all frowned after hearing this.
"I suggest that we notify the higher-ups first and let them come up with a solution. If we really do as you said, there won't be anything we can do even if only a few of us go there," said Shi Zhenhang.
"No, this Red Gate Inn is too dangerous. Although the cemetery is some distance away from here, we cannot ignore it. Of course, this action will be very dangerous. If you don't want to go, you can withdraw. I won't force you." Cui Zuofei rejected Shi Zhenhang's suggestion without hesitation.
The three shook their heads, indicating that they would not quit. Cui Zuofei nodded in satisfaction. I was about to say that I wanted to quit, but Cui Zuofei seemed to know what I wanted to do. He stared at me fiercely and said to me, "Well, Xiaojiu, your salary will be paid in two days. Let's go out and play together then."
He immediately stopped me from saying anything, because I felt that if I really said it, this guy would definitely try to withhold wages for the migrant workers. I wouldn't know where to go if I was right. Should I go to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau and tell them that I helped my boss to cheat a lot of money and now he owes me wages? Should I sue him? Unless I'm crazy.
"Okay, since everyone agrees, let's pack up and set off. This time we don't have to fight them to death, but we're going to reason with them and ask them why they're here. We can't just come to Harbin for no reason."
"What if they really have nothing better to do than come here to have fun?" I asked Cui Zuofei reflexively.
"Fuck, you bastard, are you looking for death by ruining my show?" Cui Zuofei said angrily when he saw that I was talking back.
I didn't dare to answer, because I knew that if I answered, Cui Zuofei would definitely scold me, so I wisely chose to remain silent.
Seeing that I didn't say anything, Cui Zuofei glared at me again and said, "Since no one has any objections, let's go." After that, he turned and walked out.
The cemetery is actually not far from here, only about ten minutes away. When we arrived, it was completely dark, pitch black. Fortunately, Yan Feng and the others brought several high-intensity flashlights. Cui Zuofei, Yi Xinxing and I also smeared cow's tears on our hands to enhance our vision at night.
This cemetery is very large. It is considered a group of cemeteries in the countryside. There are graves everywhere, one connected to the other. Occasionally, you can hear the calls of unknown birds, which is really creepy in the middle of the night.
"Lao Cui, where do you think this thing is? We've been looking for it for a long time, but still can't find it." A few of us searched the cemetery, but didn't see any cemetery.
At this time, Yi Xinxing stared at his watch and said, "It's in the north." After that, he took the lead and rushed over, and the rest of us quickly followed.
Sure enough, we ran north and passed through a small woods, and came to a meadow. We ran over to take a look and saw that the Red Gate Inn was indeed there. It was exactly the same Red Gate Inn I encountered last time. There were many people eating inside, and it felt very prosperous.
I frowned as I looked at it, not knowing if this inn was the same one I encountered before. I looked at Cui Zuofei and asked, "Old Cui, do you have any ideas?"
Except for me, the other five people were seeing the Red Gate Inn for the first time, and they all looked surprised. Indeed, no matter who it is, they would be very surprised when they see it for the first time.
"I don't know their specific strength, and I can't ask Master Chang to come now, which is really troublesome." Cui Zuofei frowned and said, "From what Xiaojiu said, this Red Gate Inn has a boss. Now we can only ask them to come out and talk."
"How?" I asked.
"Old Yi, Bu Tan, ask them to come out. You three in the Huangpu section will just be on guard around." Cui Zuofei started to make arrangements.
Although Huangpu Duan had conflicts with Cui Zuofei, they didn't care about it when facing a powerful enemy. This is the quality of a special forces soldier. When performing a mission, no personal emotions can be brought in. Seeing the three of them start to be alert, Lao Yi immediately took out a small bowl from his backpack and a handful of incense and started to set up the altar.
As mentioned before, some rituals must have an altar, but setting up an altar does not necessarily require an offering table or something. It is a ritual. We cannot ask for too much now, so we can only give a brief introduction.
I saw Lao Yi holding the incense and flipping his hands, and the incense started to burn. I was stunned, as if he had special abilities. I saw Lao Yi close his eyes, kneel on one knee facing the Red Gate Inn, and loudly chant an ancient spell. I couldn't understand it either. It felt like it was the language of some ethnic minority. At the end, Yi Xinxing added "Hurry up and obey the order."
Suddenly, a strong wind started to blow with the Hongmen Inn as the center. I looked at the sky and thought, damn it, there was no wind for any reason. The six of us were shivering with cold.
"Hehehe." Suddenly, a charming laughter came from the Hongmen Inn. After hearing it, I felt my whole body slowly getting hot. At this time, a charming woman slowly walked out of the Hongmen Inn. She looked very young, probably only in her twenties. She was extremely beautiful and had big breasts. I guessed it was Old Man Li's favorite E cup. As soon as she walked in, we smelled the seductive fragrance emanating from her body.
"What did you call me here for?" The woman gave the six of us a charming look, looking at us with a smile.
"I'm Wu Yaozu from Harbin. It's an honor to meet you." Yi Xinxing saw that the drool in the mouth of this beauty had been flowing for a long time. When he heard the question from this beauty, he stretched out his hand and was ready to shake hands with her. I finally understood that Yi Xinxing would go crazy when he saw a beautiful woman.
"Don't be rude! I wonder which immortals you are? I am Cui Zuofei, the successor of the "Three Pure Ones Talismans". This is Yi Xinxing, the successor of the "Three Pure Ones Qimen". And this is Wu Jiu, the apprentice of the diviner Liu Boqing." Cui Zuofei told us all our origins as soon as he opened his mouth, but Yan Feng and the others didn't say anything. Later, I learned that no matter whether they are ghosts or monsters, they all hate ghost hunters, because ghost hunters will kill them and don't even give them a chance to transcend.
