ghost

The owner of the antique shop was frightened into a cold sweat when he learned that the jade claw he sold to Zhang Qian was actually a human bone.

He is a seller of imitation antiques, and he will make a special trip to buy antiques from him. They are basically laymen, just to join in the fun, and they are real antique collectors. If you come to him to look at things, it is all a joke!It was by chance that he came into contact with Zhang Qian. He thought he could make a fortune, but who would have thought that what he sold would be human bones.

The owner of the antique shop raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat off his forehead, and said in a low voice to Zhang Qian: "Boss Zhang, let's go into the shop and say that it's not easy to talk here."

The location of this antique shop is relatively in the back, and the shops next to it are all closed, and there are no people to be seen, but the shop owner is still afraid that people will hear about his sale of human bones to customers. His small shop, which is barely making ends meet, can no longer be opened.He definitely can't keep Zhang Qian's money, but at least he can keep the reputation of his small shop.

"Let's talk inside, I just want to ask about the origin of this person's hand bones." Geng Zhongzhi looked away from Fang Xia and said to Zhang Qian.

Geng Chongzhi is the head of the Geng family. Zhang Qian knew about it on the way here. In his opinion, he is the most powerful person among the masters of the Geng family.When Geng Zhongzhi spoke, Zhang Qian naturally agreed with face.

Geng Zhongzhi and Zhang Qian sat down at a square wooden table in the shop, and the shopkeeper frantically found a kettle to make tea for them.

Fang Xia didn't sit there, he moved two chairs to the door of the shop, one for himself and one for Fu Jin.Looking sideways, Geng Zhongzhi saw Fang Xia approaching Fu Jin and whispered something, Fu Jin nodded, Fang Xia then laughed until the corners of his eyes curled up.One person and one ghost, intimate, as if no one can get involved in their world.

Geng Chongzhi's heart skipped a beat, suddenly he felt that there was a weird feeling between Fang Xia and Fu Jin, as if they were too close?Fu Jin's attitude towards Fang Xia was unusual, he knew earlier, and knew that Fu Jin was very close to Fang Xia, but when he met him before, he obviously didn't have such a weird feeling.

"I'm sorry, I don't have anything to entertain you, just make do with it." The owner brought a plate of peanuts to Geng Zhongzhi and Zhang Qian, and poured tea for them respectively, "It's not a good tea, just the cheap tea I usually drink by myself .”

Fang Xia turned around and looked over to the wooden table. The shopkeeper saw it sharply and asked loudly, "Little brother, may I pour you a cup of tea too?"

"No need, grab some peanuts for me." Fang Xia said while turning over the copper coin in his hand, and the wandering soul that was sealed in the copper coin was released.

It was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy with a thin translucent figure. He saw Fang Xia take two steps back, exit the store, then turned and ran.

"Huh? Run away?" Fang Xia showed a little surprise on his face. It was the first time he encountered this kind of soul that had been successfully suppressed, and his first reaction was to run away when he was released.

"Ah? What ran away?" The shopkeeper who brought Fang Xia the peanuts asked in confusion.

"It's nothing." Fang Xia turned her head and grabbed a handful of peanuts from the plate, "Thanks!"

The shop owner returned to the square table, Fang Xia turned over the copper coins in his hand, and the young wandering soul who had run away without a trace quickly returned to the copper coins.Fang Xia glanced down at her classmates, and looked sideways at Fu Jin.

[When you suppressed him, he was frightened and didn't realize that he was suppressed. ]

"There is such a thing?" Fang Xia muttered in a low voice, and turned over the copper coins again, and the young wandering soul was released again.

Then, history repeated itself, and the young wandering soul turned around and ran away again.

Fang Xia: "...?"

Fu Jin: [...still didn't react. ]

"...This is too slow." After Fang Xia finished speaking, he suddenly became interested, "You said how many times I did this before he found out that he was suppressed?"

Fu Jin glanced at Fang Xia helplessly, but did not stop him.

Since Ma Guangping passed away, Fang Xia was still joking and laughing at him, but Fu Jin knew that he was not happy.Now that Fang Xia is rarely in the mood for mischief, Fu Jin is naturally happy to pamper him.

Fang Xia sat at the door tossing the wandering soul, and the shopkeeper had already begun to explain the origin of the monkey's paw.

"That jade claw... the human hand bone was actually not collected by me, but a villager in Qishan Village asked me to sell it."

"Qishan Village?" Fang Xia looked back.

The wandering youth who was taken back and released for the third time had stopped running away. Fang Xia peeled a peanut in disappointment, and just put it in his mouth when he heard the shopkeeper mention Qishan Village.Qishan Village is the nearest village to Mount Taihe. Fang Xia has only been there yesterday, and he is sensitive to the word "Qishan Village".

"Yes, it's the village near Taihe Mountain." The shopkeeper nodded, proving that the Qishan Village he mentioned was the Qishan Village that Fang Xia had in mind. Get that one thing, let me estimate the price and accept it."

two months ago...

This time always feels a little delicate.Fang Xia chewed the peanuts in his mouth, and his thoughts began to spread uncontrollably.The monkey paw was sold by the villagers of Qishan Village two months ago. Does that mean that before the monkey paw fell into the hands of the villagers, it once appeared in City D with its owner, a member of the Ghost Sect?Maybe it's in Qishan Village...

So close to the time of his master's death, and so close to the place where his master passed away...

[What's wrong?You don't look well. ] Fu Jin raised his hand to help Fang Xia block the sunlight from outside, and asked in a low voice.

"Fu Jin, you said my master's death was related to the Ghost Sect..."

[Don't think about it wildly, it will affect your judgment, wait until you thoroughly find out the origin of the monkey's paw. ]

Fang Xia nodded, stabilized his mind, and turned his gaze back to the trembling wandering young man standing in front of him. While asking him something, he pricked up his ears to listen to the shopkeeper inside.

"I saw that the material of the thing looked like jade at first glance, but it didn't look like jade at a closer look, but the workmanship was really exquisite, so I estimated it at three hundred. The guy surnamed Liu was also very straightforward, and sold it to me on the spot... I really appreciate it." I don’t know it’s a human bone! Boss Zhang, I’ll give you back all the money, but can you help me find a way to solve this human bone? It attracts evil, and if I put it here, I will..."

He is in the antique business, and now he sells imitations, but his ancestors actually sold genuine ones.And the sources of those authentic products are mostly consigned by some inverted people, because the distribution is the wealth of the dead, and his ancestors naturally believed in ghosts and gods.Affected by this, the shopkeeper naturally believed in it.

"Don't worry, the human bone was not intended to be returned to you. I have already handed it over to the master." Zhang Qian pointed at Geng Chongzhi and said.

"That's good, that's good..." The shopkeeper breathed a sigh of relief.

"Can you take me to the villager who sold your human bone? I want to know where he found this human bone." Geng Zhongzhi asked.

"Okay, no problem, I can take you there now." The shopkeeper patted his chest and said.

The owner of the store took Geng Zhongzhi to Qishan Village to find the villager surnamed Liu. Zhang Qian went back to the hotel first, intending to come later and transfer money to the bank with the owner.

Geng Zhongzhi and the others had finished talking, and Fang Xia had almost finished asking.

The wandering young man did come to follow them after receiving paper money from others, but the purpose was not to spy on them.

"That person asked you to come over and stare at this box?" Fang Xia followed the gaze of the wandering boy, and his eyes fell on the box Geng Zhongzhi was carrying.

"It's probably a member of the Ghost Sect, the owner of the monkey's paw." Geng Zhongzhi looked at Fang Xia, "It seems that when you sealed the Yin Talisman, the other party has already found the location of the monkey's paw, and now they are looking for an opportunity. Wait for the opportunity to get this monkey paw back."

Fang Xia shrugged, he couldn't be blamed for taking a step too late, it was completely an uncontrollable accident.

"What does the person who burns paper money for you look like?" Fang Xia asked the wandering boy again.

The wandering young man gestured and described for a long time, and finally only knew that it was a man, wearing a mask and glasses, and there were no other features that could be used as a reference.Both masks and glasses are detachable items, so the only fixed characteristic is "man", which cannot be used as a basis at all.

"Since that person wants to get the monkey's paw back so much, let the kid report a letter, he will naturally follow, don't worry about it for now, let's go to Qishan Village first." Geng Zhongzhi said.

"Okay." Fang Xia turned over the copper coins in his hand, lifted the ghost control skill, turned to the wandering young man who was there, "You can go, remember to report a letter to the person who gave you the paper money , we are going to Qishan Village."

[You don't want me anymore? ] The young wandering soul looked up at Fang Xia.

"Our family has a rule that we can only raise one ghost." Fang Xia glanced sideways at Fu Jin, and said to the wandering young man.

The young wandering soul glanced at Fang Xia again, then turned and left.

Fang Xia followed Geng Zhongzhi and the others outside the Antique Street, he and Fu Jin walked side by side, at the end.

[Our family means...? ]

"You and my family!" Fang Xia leaned over and whispered, "What? You don't want to?"

When Fu Jin looked at Shang Xia, the corners of his mouth curled up, and an obvious smile appeared in his eyes, [My pleasure. ]

It was the first time Fang Xia saw Fu Jin showing such an obvious smile. His eyes were glued to the corner of his mouth and he couldn't move away. He walked forward with fluttering feet and almost bumped into Zhang Qian. Fortunately, Fu Jin reminded him in time.

"It's the first time I see you smiling like this." Fang Xia came back to his senses and scratched his face, "It's very pretty."

Fu Jin didn't reply, but the smile in his eyes was full again.

Zhang Qian bid farewell to Fang Xia and his party at the entrance of the antique shop, and the rest of the people were led by the shop owner to Qishan Village.
