The years of reselling the haunted house

We checked the two of them carefully. Fortunately, the fat man said that he didn't follow Xu Zhe to the back mountain because the car couldn't start.So it's pretty dry.

But Xu Zhe was different. There was more muddy water on his body than the night before, as if he had been fished out of a mud pit.

When we came back, we glanced at the time, and it was already around four o'clock in the morning.

Xu Ruoxi heard the movement, opened the door and came out of the room, turned on the light and saw that my third uncle and I were standing in front of Xu Zhe's door like the little ghost, she screamed in fright.

The third uncle replied angrily: "What are you calling, it's us."

After hearing the third uncle's voice, Xu Ruoxi recognized us. She came up, frowned and looked at the muddy bodies of my third uncle and me, and asked: "You...how did you do this? Why are you like this? dirty?"

The third uncle pointed to the room: "Go and see your nephew."

"Ah..." Xu Ruoxi walked in through the door, saw Xu Zhe's appearance, and rushed out again: "Why is Ah Zhe like this again? What's going on here?"

The third uncle waved his hand: "Don't talk about it now, it's uncomfortable to be covered in muddy water. We both take a bath first, and Xu Zhe probably won't wake up until dawn tomorrow. If you have anything to say, let's talk about it after dawn."

Xu Ruoxi nodded, watching us take off our coats, she took the clothes and Xu Zhe's clothes to wash together.

My third uncle and I took a shower in the bathroom one after another. After we finished our busy work, it was finally dawn.

Pang Dahai and Xu Zhe also woke up one after another. Xu Zhe looked a little dazed, his eyes straightened.Because of our experience the night before, we are not surprised by this.

Xu Ruoxi found the third uncle and said, "Can you think of a way to prevent Xu Zhe from going out at night, I think he is very mentally ill, something will happen if he keeps going like this."

The third uncle nodded and said: "Don't worry. I know this well. The reason why I didn't take any action last night is that I also want to follow suit. We can't do anything unless we find out the way. It won't be like this tonight, I promise Xu Zhe will stay safely in the room and sleep."

Only then did Xu Ruoxi leave with peace of mind. She also prepared breakfast for us to eat first, and she went to wash our clothes.

I looked at Xu Ruoxi's busy back, and said to my third uncle: "Look at how virtuous Miss Xu is. She can go inside and outside, go to the hall, and go to the kitchen. She has no shortcomings. I say, uncle, you What kind of airs are you still putting on, just hurry up and get it."

The third uncle glanced at me: "Go, go, you know a hammer. The more perfect someone is, the less worthy we are of whether he understands it or not. Don't think about it, let's study our own affairs. I guess it will take a while The bull boss will come over, and we will definitely earn his money."

I smiled: "Third Uncle, are you so sure that the fat man will come? From the looks of him, he may not be willing to spend so much money."

The third uncle sneered and said: "If you don't give up 30, you will lose 300 million. He is a smart man and will definitely pay for it. Before he comes, we have to sort out what happened yesterday. Last night I After you left, tell me what happened to you..."

I had long wanted to tell third uncle what happened last night, but now that I was free, I sighed and said, "My experience is really not too rich."

As I said that, I told my third uncle in detail how I encountered ghost singing last night.After the third uncle heard this, he remained silent.

I asked: "Third Uncle, do you think there will be any problems with that old Guantou? Does he know Taoism, otherwise how could he have the guts to listen to that ghost sing opera every day?"

The third uncle shook his head: "There should be no problem. I believe what he said is true, not all ghosts are evil, they just use that place to set up a stage to entertain themselves, old man It is kind to them to burn incense and paper money to them often, so they will not harm him."

Chapter 1201 Ghost Market

I asked again: "Then, does this incident of ghost singing have anything to do with the mine curse incident we are going to deal with?"

"It's hard to say. If you want to understand ghost singing, you must first understand what happened there. You said that there was an abandoned stage there, so there must be a story in it. For no reason, who would be in that place? Building a stage?"

I nodded, what Uncle San said made sense.I looked at the deserted stage, maybe it wasn't used as a stage before.In short, it is puzzling to build such a platform in that place.

In addition, regarding the ghost singing opera, the third uncle took the opportunity to popularize relevant knowledge for me.

The saying that ghosts sing operas has a long history, and there are many places in the world where this kind of weird phenomenon occurs.Most of them take place in the wilderness, usually accompanied by a ghost market.

The ghost market has been recorded in related books. "Ghost market" is also called "ghost market" or "ghost market". It is generally a mysterious trading market opened in the mountains and barren mountains.This "ghost market" will not be held during the day, but is dedicated to market trade on the first and fifteenth nights of every month, so it is called "ghost market".

Because the two-day big fair every month is a rare time for ghosts to indulge.They are like a festival, just like before they were alive, even if they don't trade anything in the market, they will come to the market.Because at this time, there will still be content about ghosts taking the stage to sing operas.This is even more rare enjoyment for ghosts.

So generally speaking, ghost markets and ghost singing operas are combined.Where there is a ghost show, there will be a ghost show, and if there is a ghost show, there must be a ghost show nearby.

Thinking about it this way, I did see the bazaar first last night.

However, I calculated the date and found that today is only the thirteenth day of the lunar calendar, not the day when the ghost collection opens.

I asked this question, and the third uncle thought for a while and said, "Then maybe this place is special, or the ghost fair and ghost show didn't go on in the normal way. I think, to find out about the ghost market, In addition to finding out the background, we still have to go deep into it."

I was taken aback: "You mean, we still have to go to the ghost market and ghost show?"

The third uncle said: "Don't be in a hurry, let's see the development of the situation first. If this ghost fair has nothing to do with the curse, we don't have to worry about him. Maybe you stumbled into the ghost fair by mistake last night. But I I can tell you how to enter the ghost market, not every time you can enter by mistake. You can take a small mirror, of course, a bronze mirror is the best, and modern mirrors without bronze mirrors are also fine. You need to find Open a corner, close your right eye tightly, open your left eye slightly, face the mirror towards your face, turn your back to the direction you want to explore, and observe the mirror with your right eye. If ghosts exist, you should be able to see them in the mirror If you find fuzzy shadows moving, back up and follow. When you see a lot of fuzzy shadows in the round mirror, it means that you have arrived at the ghost assembly. Turn around at this time, turn the mirror back to face the front, and you can see the ghosts Participate in the rally or participate in the transaction scene."

I nodded. I do have a small mirror in my bag, and it is a small bronze mirror.This small bronze mirror was also given to me by my third uncle. The mirror surface has been polished extremely smooth. Although it is not as clear as a normal mirror, it is enough to be used as a magic weapon and prop.

It's just that I don't want to go to that ghost fair and watch that ghost show again.Regarding the ghost scene I experienced, the only thing I still have some concerns about is the female ghost who pretends to be Mu Guiying.What I learned from the old Guantou was that I was able to get out safely, except for the Yang Zongbao outfit that the old Guantou gave me, and it was Mu Guiying who helped me.Thanks to her temporarily changing the libretto and finding me on the stage, I escaped directly from the inside.

I just don't know if I will have a chance to see this Mu Guiying again.If I can't see her again, I should go to the cemetery to burn some paper money for her when I have time, and offer three sticks of incense to show my gratitude.

I have spent a long time in Taoism, and I also understand the truth that everything has a spirit.Especially for ghosts who have not been reincarnated, they often need care and love.

I also know that Uncle San told me this, and he was instilling that kind of Taoist theory in me.

The third uncle told me the allusions about the ghost market and the ghost singing opera, and then said: "It seems that this old manager knows a lot of secrets about this mine. We have to visit him when we have the opportunity. It seems that we have both Underestimate him."

I agree with Uncle San's idea very much, no matter whether this old Guantou has Taoism or not, or if he is a Taoist person, just because he can save me from that ghost city and know so many inside stories, it is worth it. Let's go visit.

After talking about this, I asked my third uncle if I found anything after following Xu Zhe last night. Anyway, for me, apart from seeing Xu Zhe doing physical work in that cemetery, it seemed that he was shoveling dirt. , and nothing else of value was found.

The third uncle scratched his head and scratched the hair on his head that had just been bathed and not completely dried like a chicken coop. He leaned on the sofa and said dejectedly: "It's really crazy. I used it yesterday. A way to restrain the things on Xu Zhe. According to the theory, the power of my rune is not small, and I should be able to do what I want. But who knows, the flying talisman is on Xu Zhe's body. The body, but the things in his body escaped unharmed. This shows that the way of that thing has far exceeded my imagination. After I chased him, I couldn't catch him. It seems that the dirty things in this land are not casual It can be subdued."

I glanced at Third Uncle, his brows were tightly wrinkled.It seems that this time he really has a headache. To be honest, I rarely see my third uncle worrying.It just goes to show that we're all really stuck this time around.

The third uncle then analyzed: "There are also ghost markets and ghost singing operas you encountered last night. As I said, generally speaking, they only appear on the 15th day of the lunar new year, and ordinary people can't see them. Only through the method I mentioned can I find out. But last night was only the thirteenth day of the lunar calendar, and these two situations also appeared. What does this mean? It means that they can already fully control this ghost market and ghost singing opera. And I don’t know What I understand is why I didn't enter the ghost market, but you went into the ghost market and listened to the ghost show. And the old manager, didn't he also go in and listen to the ghost show? All of these, It illustrates a problem..."

The third uncle paused at this point, and I followed his words and said: "It means that the ghosts here are very powerful. They are not ordinary ghosts..."

Chapter 1202

The third uncle nodded: "That's right, it may exceed those we encountered before. So, nephew, we must be more careful in our actions this time."

I responded, in fact, I have already had this kind of question in my heart, and it is also a feeling of my own existence.

When I first came to Shenzhen and followed my third uncle to break down the house, I didn’t know anything at that time. When I mentioned ghosts and haunted houses, my heart trembled non-stop.Like many ordinary people, he is a person who talks about ghosts and has a natural fear of ghosts.After all, in real life, there are very few people who say they are not afraid of ghosts.My performance is also in line with the characteristics of most people.

But after so many trials and tribulations, the third uncle also said that gradually, I will no longer be as afraid of ghosts as I was at the beginning.In other words, with the increase of my knowledge and experience, those ghosts will be afraid of me instead.What's more, I have had so many adventures.There is the blood of Huo Lingsaliva on his body, and the bone relics, these things should be treasures that ghosts avoid.

What I didn't expect was that when I came to the mining area this time, I didn't feel that ghosts were afraid of me. Instead, I just experienced ghost fairs and ghost shows.When I realized that I might have just been in the company of those ghosts, the fear that arose in my heart was completely unexpected.

I didn't expect that after going through so much, I was still as afraid of ghosts as before.I can't tell what I'm afraid of, but the fear in my heart can't deceive people.When I just came back, I was still resenting myself, why I was so worthless, and whether I was a rotten piece of wood that could not be carved.

It happened that the third uncle mentioned that the ghosts here are very powerful, so I raised the question that I have always had in my heart.

The third uncle smiled after hearing this, and said: "Nephew, your feeling is very right. This is not that you are worthless, but a normal reaction. As the saying goes, the way is as high as the devil. In your own After your spirituality gradually strengthens, under normal circumstances, ordinary little ghosts would not dare to provoke you. But all the ghosts you can meet must be comparable to or even higher than yours in terms of morality and ghost power. This is It's like a big wave washes the sand, and the grains of sand left behind must be large. Our kind of cultivators are far from being able to regard the world's ghosts as worthless, and we are still far from being able to save ghosts as we please. "

I smiled wryly and said: "Doesn't that mean that when the time comes, as long as the ghosts I encounter are similar to my morals, don't I always have to be in a state of being afraid of ghosts? Could this ghost power be endless? Enhanced?"

The third uncle nodded: "You can also say that. In short, you can't relax your vigilance at any time. This is common sense and a law. In addition, this ghost power, at least from my point of view, is not the strongest, only stronger .Even I dare not take it lightly, let alone you. The road to practice is still very long..."

After the third uncle's explanation, at least I understand one truth.The reason why I am still scared when I see ghosts is not that I have no prospects, but because the ghost power of the ghosts I can meet is constantly increasing.The ghosts I see are always equal to me, or even stronger.

Soon the topic of my third uncle and I returned to last night when we followed Xu Zhe. Both my third uncle and I witnessed Xu Zhe working desperately to fill the grave.

The situation at that time was already very critical. If the third uncle hadn't used the kind of talisman that could fly and played a role unexpectedly, Xu Zhe would have continued to work.

That has completely exceeded the range that his physical strength can bear. If he continues to work, there will only be one result. It consumes a lot of vitality and overdraws a lot of energy in the body. Even if he can save his life in the end, he may be seriously ill to recover slowly.

My third uncle and I know it well, but we can't tell Xu Ruoxi and Xu Zhe about these things. We are also afraid that telling them will be useless except to increase their psychological burden.

After I asked about what happened last night, the third uncle said: "After my talisman hit Xu Zhe last night, the thing left his body. I chased him immediately, because I didn't open it. Yin and Yang eyes, so I only judge the route according to the flame of the black candle in my hand. After chasing for a short distance, I lost the target, and the candle returned to normal soon. This is also my carelessness, if I did it earlier Prepare, maybe the result will be different. In this way, we are afraid that we will scare the snake. In the future, we need to be better prepared. Later, I was also afraid that something would happen to you and Xu Zhe, so I immediately returned to the original place. At that time, I found that both you and Xu Zhe were gone..."

I questioned: "I disappeared because I wanted to catch up with you, but I stumbled into the ghost market by mistake. So where did Xu Zhe go?"

The third uncle said: "Xu Zhe should have gone to this residence at that time. But I didn't find you, so I didn't dare to go too far, so I could only continue to search around there. Later, I finally discovered a little secret...it was Xu Zhe. The place where the grave was filled with soil, the grave he mainly wanted to fill, turned out to be empty inside."

I was taken aback: "Third Uncle, have you dug a grave?"

The third uncle waved his hand: "I don't do that. I judged based on experience. There are coffins in that grave, but no corpses."

"Whose grave is that? Why did Xu Zhe work there for two consecutive days to fill the grave?"

When I thought of the blood blisters on Xu Zhe's hands, and the scene where he was working hard without realizing it, I got goosebumps all over my body.What kind of power is this that can drive a living person into such a state.

But obviously, the third uncle has not fully understood the reason for this matter.He didn't comment on my question either.I know that he will not express his judgment easily without a definite answer.So I didn't ask any more questions.

When the sky was bright, Pang Dahai woke up before Xu Zhe, and after Xu Zhe woke up for a while, he fell back into a deep sleep.

I guess this time, he will wake up in a while.But fortunately, we rescued him in time. Apart from being overdrawn and feeling tired, he didn't suffer any physical damage.

Pang Dahai came out to see my third uncle and me, and asked if what happened last night.I didn't hide anything, and told him what happened.

The fat man was a little annoyed when he heard that he was controlled again last night.

From the fat man, it also proved how strong the ghosts here are.Pang Dahai is also a cultivator, and he has been learning talisman and Qi training from Chu Liuyan for some time.But it was easily controlled, and these are enough to make us more vigilant.Judging from the things that happened for the time being, the few of us were completely played by the other party. Even if we wanted to attack, we couldn't find the direction.

We are in the light, and the other party is in the dark.The situation here is far more complicated than we imagined before we came here.

Chapter 1203

This doesn't seem to be just a matter of curses. There may be more secrets hidden in the dark of this mine.

After we had breakfast, I asked my third uncle what we were going to do today.

The third uncle waved his hand: "No matter how the other party makes moves, we can just proceed step by step. Let's go through the other two houses in a while."

I just remembered that we just went to Sun's and Huang's homes yesterday, and Zhao's and Li's homes.The Sun family and the Huang family, we have more or less found clues. The value of these clues is unknown, but it is better to find than not to find.Maybe the other two can discover something today.

We packed our things and were about to go out when we heard the horn of the car downstairs.

The horn was loud, a bit like a police siren.It was obviously not the horn of our car. I hurried to the window, looked down, and found that it was the off-road vehicle that came yesterday, the car of the owner of the cow with the grass.

This guy didn't get out of the car this time, and sat in the car all the time, but he kept honking his horn, and the respect he showed us yesterday was gone.

The third uncle questioned: "Is this still the fat man from yesterday? How did he get caught up today? He must have figured it out and came to sign a contract with us. Come on, he won't come up, let's go downstairs and have a look..."

Fatty and I followed Uncle San to go downstairs. I thought for a while and said, "Uncle San, why do I feel something is wrong? If he agreed to our offer, shouldn't he come upstairs to talk to us? He whistled like that , It’s really rude. We’ll meet later, if it doesn’t work, let’s lower the price, after all, it’s all up to us, without this fat man, don’t we have to look it up?”

The third uncle waved his hand: "He is such a big boss, he can't always be so humble. After all, he also wants to save face in front of his subordinates. Let's go down to meet him this time, and it is enough to give him face. As for the price, it's not about the money." It is a question of not enough money, but a question of dignity. It depends on whether he respects our ability. We can't drop a penny. This is our price tag and our rules. He doesn't know our details. If he doesn't find us , unless he stops thinking about solving the mine haunting incident."

The third uncle was very sure, and we could no longer raise objections, so we followed him all the way outside the building, and came to the front of the off-road vehicle.

It wasn't until we came out that the driver jumped out of the cab, came to the rear door respectfully, opened the door, and put his hand on the eaves of the door.

Inside, the bulging belly of Niubiancao protruded first, and then the two legs also stepped out.This series of actions is done in an orderly manner and full of momentum.

But from our point of view, this is all ostentatious.The off-road vehicle was very tall, with the shape of a cow holding a grass, unless it hit it hard, it would not touch the upper eaves of the door at all.So the driver's action of protecting the head of the cow with his hand on the grass is even more ironic.

I thought to myself, even a boss who is bigger and richer than Niubiancao, wouldn't be so pretentious, right?

What's wrong with this oxtail grass?It really doesn't look like the same person we met yesterday.

Niubiancao got out of the car, saw us, and walked up to us without saying hello, with his head raised, his nostrils pointing toward the sky.

This action may seem domineering to Niubiancao, but it is funny to us.

Niu Xiancao didn't speak, and the third uncle asked first: "Boss Niu, have you thought it through?"

Niubiancao snorted and said, "Think clearly..."

The third uncle stood there carelessly, nodded and said, "That's right. The price of 30 is already a friendship price. Now that we have figured it out, when we sign the contract, you need to pay the deposit first. We're good at it."

After listening to the third uncle's words, Niu Xiancao grinned: "Hahaha, I'm sorry I forgot your surname, it seems to be...Li Daochang, right? Don't worry, I haven't finished talking yet, I said I After thinking it over clearly, I decided not to agree to your offer, and, as the owner of this mine, I do not allow you to act recklessly in my mine, and I restrict you to leave the mine today."

Niu Xiancao pinched his waist with his hands, his fat belly bulged out, and it felt like he was about to break his belt.

Hearing Niu Xiancao's words, the third uncle was taken aback.Even though I had already prepared, I never thought that Niubiancao would give us such an answer.In my opinion, it's nothing more than Niubiancao's bargaining with us, and at worst we just lower the price.When he said that, not only did he reject us, but he even didn't allow us to investigate in the mine.Does he really not want to settle the matter of the mine?

Uncle San was too confident before, because the routine we used has been tried and tested. Anyone who encounters such a bad thing will eventually compromise and agree to our price and requirements.After all, this Niubiancao was the first person to reject us.

So when he heard Niubiancao's reply, Third Uncle's expression changed, and he had nothing to say for a while.

I thought to myself, this is Niubiancao's ruin. It seems that he has already understood the purpose of our trip, and he has figured out that even if he doesn't look for us, we will do this matter.So he wanted to use this to threaten us to lower the price, and if we didn't agree, we would break up.For a businessman like him, this kind of thing is completely possible.

I was thinking about whether I should go forward and talk again at this time, even if it is to lower the price a little.This way at least we won't be in a chicken-and-egg fight.

But if we do this, we will lose face.

Just when I was hesitating, the driver of Niubancao ran to the other side of the car and opened the doors of the co-pilot and the rear seat respectively.

Another person got off from the co-pilot and the back seat respectively.

It turned out that they had been sitting in the car, and because the windows were covered with film, we couldn't see the inside from the outside.But I believe they have seen the situation outside clearly from inside.

At this time, the two people who got out of the car also walked to us slowly and stood beside Niubiancao.

I noticed that these two people, one old and one young, were both dressed as Taoist priests.It's the pure Taoist uniform, completely different from that worn by bastards like Uncle San.It's the same as the Taoist priests I saw in TV dramas.It's just that the color of the Taoist robes is gray and white, with buns on their heads, and the pattern of yin and yang fish is printed on the front of the robes.

This kind of dress is difficult to appear in the real society. It can only be seen in those Taoist temples far away from the city.Moreover, these Taoist priests who practiced purely generally do not go down the mountain.

So in this mining area, it was beyond my expectation to see a Taoist priest dressed like this.The third uncle was also very surprised, looking up and down at the two Taoist priests.
