Talisman Store

"The child's parents don't have much money, but they like to spend money and gamble. The family has never saved money. But the child has a very rich uncle who often helps out their family. Later, the uncle's child got into a car accident. The heart and lungs were damaged and needed to be replaced. The child happened to be a good match, so the uncle wanted to give a sum of money to buy the child's life. The parents who suffered a thousand dollars agreed when they saw the money. I can't see it. Well, I will secretly abduct the child."

When grandma said this, she didn't regret it at all. She ate very little food, and when she saw Ye Xiaolou clearing up the table, she said, "I later asked about the child of my uncle's family, and said that he passed away after three days in the hospital. ...Although I saved a life, I also killed a life. After so many years, I have not lived well. Who knows that my grandson will not escape his fate in the end. I am old, and I want to wait for my grandson to grow up For him... hey..."

It is said that people become mature with age, and people become mature with age. After living for so many years, is it different from others? Grandma vaguely sensed something, but she couldn't say it out.

Taking out the golden abacus, Ye Xiaolou helped the delivery boy deduce the fate, and then asked the children of the uncle's family. After a long silence, he told grandma, "The children of the uncle's family saved your grandson in the previous life. One life, he was reincarnated in this life to repay his kindness, grandma, you prevent him from repaying his kindness, and the child of the uncle's family sued in the underworld, if grandma hadn't protected him, your little grandson would have had an accident long ago."

Thinking of the Yangshou of the delivery boy, Ye Xiaolou couldn't help but sigh, I'm afraid this is also the handwriting of grandma.

"That child has been pitiful since he was a child. I really can't stand it." Grandma heard Ye Xiaolou talk about the cause and effect, but she didn't regret what she did, and she still pitied the delivery boy.Although she abducted people back then, it was out of good intentions, and she has been really kind to her little grandson all these years. After the death of the takeaway brother, it was his grandma who was on her mind, which shows how deep the relationship between the grandparents and grandsons is.

However, no matter how you look at it, grandma is an ordinary person, Ye Xiaolou really can't figure out why the ax responds, is there something else going on with grandma?

Shaking his head secretly at Ye Xiaolou, Goudan is sure that grandma is an ordinary mortal. Although the place where she lives is broken, it is very clean and there are no lonely ghosts.But maybe this is so strange, because the terrain here is low-lying, the drainage is very bad, and it is dark and humid all the year round. According to Feng Shui, this kind of place is very unsuitable for people to live in. If there is a lot of water, it will dominate the yin, and it is the favorite of lonely ghosts. place to patronize.

"Grandma, I'll come see you again tomorrow." Seeing that the ax in his hand had finally stopped moving, Ye Xiaolou hurriedly left.

Back at the specialty store, Ye Xiaolou hugged the little milk dog to play with, the soft little milk dog is very fun to touch, and the little guy is also very close to Ye Xiaolou, always licking his palm with his tongue, feeling very itchy interesting.Goudan didn't express any dissatisfaction with this, but he would often appear around Ye Xiaolou to check his presence.

It was raining this day, Ye Xiaolou was sitting on the sofa cleaning antiques, Goudan was flipping through an ancient book, Yeziteng was doing the accounting behind the counter, and the little milk dog ran over on another soft and spacious sofa, and then came He ran over, and at the entrance of the specialty store near the advertising wall, the black dog was lying there looking out intently, not knowing what he saw.

It's almost noon, because of the incident with the delivery guy last time, Ye Xiaolou decided not to order takeaways, but set up a small kitchen in the garage, and everyone would go there to light a fire and cook, and eat there by the way .However, the garage is underground. Although there is a range hood leading to the outside, it still feels weird.After the black dog finished eating his portion, he stared at the gate in a daze, moved his tail slightly, and suddenly said, "Here we come."

"Who?" Ye Xiaolou asked subconsciously.

"The grandma you met last time." After finishing speaking, the black dog obediently lay down on the ground to express his submission.

Under the gaze of everyone, the door of the garage in front obviously did not change, but an old woman suddenly appeared. She looked exactly the same as the grandma Ye Xiaolou saw, but her clothes were completely different. There is also a big difference in feeling.Almost at the moment of seeing it, Ye Xiaolou knew that this person was not an old lady. Although the appearance was the same, the inside was completely different.

The grandma walking towards her is not a human being.

"The time has come, and there are not many days left for you to stay in the sun. I will come out for a walk to see how you are doing, the old woman." But it can be heard very clearly by everyone present.

"You are?" Ye Xiaolou couldn't figure it out, so he asked directly.

"It's a long story..." The old lady sighed, her face full of vicissitudes.

Because of this sentence, the garage is not a place to talk for a long time, so Ye Xiaolou can only ask someone to go to the talisman store.The moment the old lady stepped into the store, Ye Xiaolou keenly noticed that the store seemed to be different, and now people from the outside definitely couldn't get in, and people inside couldn't get out either.

He didn't sit on the sofa, but still stood there, but he didn't know when there was an extra bowl of tea in his hand.It is dark green in color, with a faint heat, and a refreshing aroma. It feels like the tea in the old woman's hand should be delicious.

He stretched out his skinny hand and waved it casually, and Qi Zibei and the little monster hidden in the vase were dragged out. There was no light in their eyes, and they gradually blurred and disappeared after drinking tea. "I will send them to be reincarnated, so that they can be cast into a good family in the next life." The old woman said with a smile, the wrinkles on her face gave a very warm feeling, she looked at Ye Xiaolou and said, "I know your karma in Yangjian , Longhushan is one, and those who need your help are one, and the last one is the three axes in your hand."

When Uncle Ji gave Ye Xiaolou the small ax, he didn't explain it carefully, but let Ye Xiaolou hold it. Now that the old lady came, she gave a detailed explanation.It is said that there was an ax heart in the ax used by Pangu to open up the world. When Pangu fell, although the ax turned into a part of the earth, the ax heart did not. Instead, it fell to the world alone, and finally went to the underworld. get.

The name "Three Broad Axe" also has its origins. Specifically, it can only be used three times, but the power of these three times can break the world. It can be said that there is basically no chance to use this axe.Back then, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva split the ground to replace Ye Xiaolou and Goudan and used it once. Before that, he also used it once when the underworld was opened up, and only the last time was left. One of the purposes of the old lady coming to Ye Xiaolou Just for the three axes.

According to the old lady's words, the underworld is in chaos now and someone needs to hold the line, and the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva has already reserved places for Ye Xiaolou and Goudan in the underworld, but he didn't say a specific time limit, only saying that when the time comes Can.Originally, the old lady calculated that it would take a few years, but the plan always failed to keep up with the changes. First, Ye Xiaolou went to the small world to stay for a year, which delayed the time for Goudan to grow up. Later, after getting the three axes, the underworld appeared again. Something happened, so she had to come in person.

Grandma does have some relationship with the old woman, but it can be said that it has nothing to do with it. Grandma is the projection of the old woman in the mortal world. She is an ordinary mortal. After death, she will enter reincarnation. eyes only.

"I helped you in the mortal world, now please go to the underworld." When the old woman said this, her tone was unquestionable.

He had already guessed the identity of the old woman, but Ye Xiaolou didn't point it out. He thought for a while and asked, "If I go, will Goudan grow up smoothly?"

"Yes." The old woman nodded with a smile. She stretched out her hand, tapped the dog's egg with her finger, and said, "This is the strength I have accumulated over tens of thousands of years, which is enough to make him grow up in an instant. Hell also needs him. Well...that's the one that suits you best..."

After finishing speaking, the old woman instantly became old and out of shape. Panting slightly, she walked out slowly, and waved at Ye Xiaolou and Goudan with her increasingly withered hands, and the two felt uncontrollably A force pulled them down, and the old woman's words came from far and near, "You can return to Yangjian in the future, and this store will be used as a passage for you. Go, children..."

Although all this happened not very quickly, Ye Xiaolou had no room to refute at all, because he couldn't even speak, so he could only bear it passively.When he arrived at the underworld, Ye Xiaolou was stunned, he didn't expect it to be really messy.

There is no longer a child-like dog beside him, he has become the appearance in Ye Xiaolou's memory, very handsome, but his expression has changed a lot, he is still a child with a stern face, stretching out his hand to actively hold Ye Xiaolou Seeing a group of ghost messengers running over in front of him, he hurriedly hid behind the nearby building.

The Underworld is actually similar to the Deadland. They are all gray and rarely have other colors. The difference is that the power in the Deadland is very special, while the Underworld has a lot of ghost energy, and there is also a special department here, the Underworld, which is responsible for managing the souls that come and go. Let them enter the six realms of reincarnation, and the cycle is endless.

When a group of ghost messengers ran past, Ye Xiaolou turned his head and stared at Goudan carefully, then poked his cheek with his hand in disbelief, and said, "You have really grown up."

"That old woman has no good intentions. We could grow up slowly in the sun, but she actually spoiled the seedlings!" Goudan was a little unhappy, "Who knows what will happen later, your small ax can only be used once, and the old woman is calculating this."

Thinking about it carefully, these things happened so suddenly, Ye Xiaolou also had a feeling that he was being calculated, but the other party was too powerful, and he also helped Goudan grow up, so he had nothing to do if he didn't like it, so he could only go first. Let's see the situation.

Fortunately, the streets in the Underworld are not too different from the Yangjian, except that the buildings are a bit quaint, and the people who come and go are not mortals, but souls without physical bodies, and occasionally a few beast souls can be seen.
