On the day I left school, I knocked all the relatives in the hospital to death

Chapter 18 Beating gongs and drums to send off the true God

I fell asleep on the bed, staring at the ceiling with my eyes open, but my mind kept recalling what happened on the train during the day.

But I never could figure out how that woman could take the pendant from my neck without me being aware of it.

After a while, Zhang Lingchuan fell asleep, but the thief who stole the goods has not yet appeared.

I don’t know how long it took, but I was about to fall asleep when I heard the harsh sound of gongs and drums.

Whose family is getting married and welcoming a bride in the middle of the night?

I turned over and went back to sleep.

However, the sound of gongs and drums was getting closer and closer, as if it was right at the door of our hotel.

It finally woke me up, and I got up angrily and wanted to go out and curse.

But he found that Zhang Lingchuan had woken up long ago and was leaning on the bed, swinging one leg up and down to the rhythm of the drumming.

"boss--"

He turned his head and hissed at me.

I felt something was wrong, so I got out of bed and ran behind him: "What are you doing outside? Why do I feel something is wrong."

Zhang Lingchuan had a sly smile on his face.

"This is called beating gongs and drums to send the true God."

"What? What the hell? What kind of gift to the true god?" After hearing this, I thought the people outside were holding some metaphysical ceremony.

Who knew, Zhang Lingchuan explained to me that this was a way for the thieves to seek peace.

Door burglars are different from ordinary thieves.

They are organized and have rules.

If you steal something that you shouldn't steal, you must follow the highest etiquette in the world and send the stolen things back to others with the beating of gongs and drums.

I rubbed my ears and couldn't help but worry about the other passengers.

"They beat gongs and drums like this, and others don't have any objections?"

Zhang Lingchuan sneered: "This kind of small hotel is not a place to provide accommodation for ordinary travelers. Those who can stay here are all insiders, so they are not surprised by this."

Hearing this, I suddenly realized.

No wonder when we first checked in at the hotel front desk, the boss didn't ask for our IDs, but asked us some strange questions.

It turns out that this is a trick to see if the other party is an insider.

If Zhang Lingchuan couldn't live up to those dirty words, the boss would definitely tell us that all the rooms here are full.

The group of people kept knocking outside for more than ten minutes, but Zhang Lingchuan remained motionless.

I asked him: "What will happen if they fail to send the true God out despite all the beating of gongs and drums?"

Zhang Lingchuan suddenly turned around and looked at me with a ferocious smile: "Then she will die miserably."

I was so frightened that I fell back, feeling a little shocked in my heart.

Although I knew there were various rules to abide by in the world, I never thought that I would lose my life if I couldn't send this thing back.

He looked at me with an expression of hatred: "Why, are you feeling pity again?"

Not to be outdone, I said, "Obviously it was you who told me that flowers will bloom again and people will never be young again."

Zhang Lingchuan was stunned for a moment, and after a few seconds, he said to me: "You have a good memory."

At this time, the sound of gongs and drums outside the door stopped.

Then, there was a knock on the door.

"A single flower hangs in the sky in the northwest, and the green forests all over the world are one family."

"I didn't know that the Dragon King Temple was flooded, so I asked the King of Dharma to spare the life of this master thief."

I recognized that this was the voice of the hotel owner.

I can probably guess the meaning of this slang term.

In other words, all the eight branches of Jianghu are one family.

That woman was ignorant and offended us, so she asked us to be noble and let them go.

Immediately afterwards, there was another strong man's voice.

"Since the Dharma King cannot forgive you, according to the rules of the sect, you will have to cut off one of your fingers and expel you from the thief sect."

The woman's sobs came through the door: "Sanniang would rather die than lose her fingers!"

Zhang Lingchuan then glanced at me: "Yu Wanwan, go and open the door."

"Hey." Of course I didn't want to kill anyone, so I immediately ran forward and opened the hotel door.

The woman was pushed to her knees with backhand. The moment she saw me, her face turned away in shame.

The middle-aged man cupped his fists towards me and said, "Junior sister is ignorant and will offend me a lot."

As he spoke, he knelt down on one knee, holding the jade pendant in both hands: "Return the property to its original owner, and please ask the Dharma King to appease his anger."

I took the jade pendant and put it back on my neck, then walked back behind Zhang Lingchuan.

Behind the two of them was an old man, who was the owner of the hotel.

Seeing that we had settled the matter amicably, he said a few auspicious words and left.

Now the four of us are left looking at each other, and I don’t know what kind of process is going to happen next.

The middle-aged man did not dare to stand up, but instead saluted Zhang Lingchuan and introduced himself to his family.

"I am Yan Shifang, the heir to the Pirate Sect, and this is my junior sister Kong Sanniang."

Zhang Lingchuan raised his eyebrows lightly: "So you are the famous male and female thieves in the world."

Kong Sanniang snorted coldly from her nostrils, seeming very unconvinced.

However, Yan Shifang turned his head and glared at her.

"Sanniang, don't be rude!"

After Yan Shifang scolded Kong Sanniang, he respectfully clasped his fists at Zhang Lingchuan.

"His Majesty, now the true God has sent you. These things are our filial piety to you."

After saying that, Yan Shifang put a stack of red banknotes at the door. Judging from the thickness, it was probably tens of thousands.

The rivers and lakes have grudged the rivers and lakes.

As long as Zhang Lingchuan collects the money, the matter will be over.

In the future, we cannot take the opportunity to cause trouble for them.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Lingchuan, who had been silent all this time, chuckled.

"What you stole was my family's ancient jade. You just spent tens of thousands of dollars to turn this story around?"

Yan Shifang's face didn't look good at this time. He took a deep breath and said, "I don't know how you want to solve it, Dharma King?"

"Literary fight? Or armed fight?"

Zhang Lingchuan shook his head and then pointed at Kong Sanniang.

"As long as I let her stay with me for one day, this matter will change."

Before Yan Shifang could say anything, Kong Sanniang suddenly stood up and pointed angrily at Zhang Lingchuan.

"You despicable and shameless bastard, if I call you Dharma King, you will really treat yourself like a dish, right?"

"Auntie, I'm not someone to be trifled with!"

As she said this, Kong Sanniang wanted to attack us, but as soon as she took out her hand, she suddenly fell to her knees on the ground uncontrollably.

"Pa—" there was a loud noise.

At this time, a strange bruise appeared on her neck.

It was like someone pinched her neck!

A thief who steals things, no matter how quick his hands are, cannot defeat the Dharma King who can exorcise evil spirits and control ghosts.

Zhang Lingchuan glanced at her: "Don't worry, I'm not interested in you."

"What I like is just your ability."

"Give me a day tomorrow, and from now on we won't mess with each other."

After hearing these humiliating words, Kong Sanniang's pretty face turned red and angry, and she couldn't say a word for a long time.

In the end, it was Yan Shifang who made the decision and agreed: "Sure, Sanniang will be at your disposal early tomorrow morning."

"Sanniang, let's go."

After Kong Sanniang got up, she glared at us fiercely, then turned and walked out.

I looked at their backs and asked Zhang Lingchuan curiously: "Boss, what method did you use to make them so obedient?"

After closing the door, Zhang Lingchuan hooked his hand and asked me to come closer. He whispered a few words in my ear, which scared me almost out of my mind.

"Boss, how could you do this?!"
