Ancient Art of Sealing Ghosts

Just finished talking about things last night, Dao Feng brought Wu Mou and Ji Xuan over early this morning.

Because the family is a family residence, the house has been around for some years. The overall layout is similar to the old Beijing courtyard house, but it is very different. There is a small courtyard outside the back-shaped courtyard. There are few people in the family. We usually live in the inner courtyard. , the outer courtyard is basically unused, and my mother only cleans it when she has nothing to do, otherwise, she will only talk about it when relatives and friends come over during the Chinese New Year.

Now Lao Chu took Wu Mou to the next room for a secret talk, leaving me and Dao Feng and Ji Xuan staring at each other. To be honest, this kind of scene was really embarrassing. On the one hand, I actually agreed to Dao Feng’s request in private, on the other hand On the one hand, I can't show it, lest Old Chu get suspicious.

So I had no choice but to pretend that I didn't know anything, and sat silently opposite to drink water.

I thought that according to Lao Chu's personality, this matter would definitely not be so easy to negotiate. Who would have thought that when Lao Chu and Wu Mou appeared again ten minutes later, the reaction would be far beyond my expectations.

After changing his old stubborn image with cold eyebrows, Lao Chu seemed to have been greatly shocked, and his whole body was languid. He was smoking a cigarette melancholy, standing at the door of the living room and looking at me, but he didn't approach me.

Old Chu's gaze still contained a lot of content, including worries and worries that I could understand, and more complicated things that I couldn't understand.

"Yangyang, pack up your things and go with them before your mother finds out." I don't know what Wu Mou said, but Old Chu actually agreed, and called me by my nickname for the first time, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone. Unspeakable secret.

"Oh." I stood up, wanting to say something more.

But Lao Chu didn't give me a chance, he interrupted me with a wave of his hand, walked into the room alone with a sigh and locked the door, it seemed that he would not show up again before I left.

I frowned and froze on the spot, looking at Lao Chu's closed door, for a moment I didn't know whether I should leave or not. If Lao Chu got angry and scolded me out, I might still feel at ease, but now he is like this. What a bad appearance, but I can't go with Dao Feng with peace of mind.

"We'll wait for you outside." Seeing my hesitation, Dao Feng didn't say much, but walked out quietly.

I sighed, looked at the other two, waved and said, "You guys go too, I'll be right there."

"Yeah." Ji Xuan glanced at Wu Mou, then turned to me and said, "You don't need to bring too many things, the car has them all, just remember to bring your lighter."

"Understood." I nodded and walked into my room.

It's not that I won't come back, I really have nothing to bring.I scanned the room and stared at the silver zippo lighter on the table in a daze. The back of the lighter had the pattern of Aquarius, and my birthday was engraved on it. It was my favorite style.

When I came out of the room, Ji Xuan and Wu Mou had already gone out to wait, and on the coffee table in the living room, there was an old yellow book with four large characters written on it: "The Ancient Art of Sealing Ghosts".

I glanced at the still closed door and knew that it was left to me by Lao Chu. He asked me to take this book with me, perhaps because he hoped that I could study more about the contents of the book on the way so that I would not have to give it to Lao Chu. The Chu family is ashamed.

The black Cayenne was parked at the door. Such a car that only rich people could drive naturally attracted the attention of many people in the village.

Ji Xuan was leaning against the car door wearing sunglasses, her beautiful face and attire attracted the attention of most men, next to him was the uncle Wu Mou who was squatting on the ground and smoking a cigarette, while Dao Feng was sitting in the car silently Leaning back against the car seat and closing his eyes, he could only see the stern side face through the car window.

Thinking that I was about to travel with such three people, I couldn't help feeling dizzy.

"Let's go." I looked up and found that the weather was not bad today, so I opened the car door and sat in the back seat. In front of me was Dao Feng sitting in the driver's seat.

Seeing that I was already sitting in the car, Ji Xuan stopped scratching her head and getting into the co-pilot, the uncle threw the finished cigarette on the ground and stomped it out, stood up and opened the car door and sat next to me.

Cayenne gradually drove out of the village and onto the national road, and the speed of the car quickly picked up. I didn't know where they were going, so I had to take a nap or chat with someone occasionally.

After chatting like this, I found out that the most talkative person in the car is actually the uncle Wu Mou. Don’t look at Wu Mou’s messy hair and stubble, but he is very easy-going and good at chatting. He can give you anything from all over the world. Say a few words, unlike Dao Feng, who often can't answer a sentence after I say ten, which makes me really want to strangle him from behind with a seat belt.

When I woke up from my sleep for the second time, the driver had changed to Ji Xuan, and the surrounding scenery was completely out of the urban area. After asking Wu Mou, I learned that we had already left Hebei and were heading northwest all the way. direction forward.

Because there were prohibited items in the car, Ji Xuan chose a small path, deliberately avoiding the road with toll booths and checkpoints, but compared to Dao Feng, this grandma Ji's driving skills are even more amazing.

"Damn it, Sister Xuan, let's drive without risking our lives!" The road was bumpy, and Ji Xuan was still driving fast, which made it difficult for the uncle and I who were sitting in the back, and we almost hugged each other several times.

"Hmph, I haven't seen it before, your sister and I used to drive F1!" Ji Xuan raised her pink lips, and Ji Xuan looked proud, while Dao Feng, the co-pilot, had silently fastened his seat belt.

Wu Mou and I looked at each other, and pulled the seat belts beside the car seat to follow suit.

"Xiao Chu, how long has it been since you graduated from college, and have you found a job?" Seeing the sky that was about to darken, the uncle asked casually.

"It's been more than half a year and almost a year. I have found a few jobs and quit them all. Now I have nothing to do at home all day, so I just play games online." I thought about it and said truthfully.

"Hey, man, it's not good to be so unambitious." Shaking his fingers, the uncle suddenly approached me and asked mysteriously, "Do you know which two words men like most these days?"

Which two words?

Seeing the uncle's serious expression, I think it is necessary to answer this question carefully, so after thinking for a long time, I slowly said: "...burst?"

The uncle obviously didn't expect me to say such an answer, he was stunned for a moment, and didn't react for a long time.

"What's going on in your mind all day?" Guilty glanced at Ji Xuan in the driver's seat, the corner of the uncle's mouth twitched and he said in a low voice, "I'm talking about money, rights and women, where did you go?"

"Burst...doesn't it refer to women?" Knowing that the topic had changed, I faked a cough, and said in the same low voice: "Could there be men?"

As he said that, he couldn't help but glanced at Daofeng.

To be honest, Dao Feng's figure is really good, even I have to bow my head in front of him, but with my body that haunts the gym all the year round, I think it should not be too bad.

"What are you thinking about?" He straightened my head vigorously, the uncle looked like he hated iron, and finally shook his head to change the topic.

Before arriving at the scheduled rest place, the uncle told me a lot of basic common sense about the tomb robbery business.

Tomb robbery is not called tomb robbery in the industry, but it is called Daodou. Daodou generally requires three or four or more people, and the hierarchy is clearly defined.

In our team, it is Dao Feng who holds the position of palm eye, and Uncle Wu Mou is not so much a leg, it is more appropriate to say that he is a military adviser. As for me and Ji Xuan, who has excellent marksmanship, we can only It's been hard.

At about nine o'clock in the evening, the car drove into a certain mountain area. The uncle said that this is a certain branch of Yinshan Mountain, which already belongs to Inner Mongolia, and it is not too far from the Yellow River.

The Mongolian name of Yinshan Mountain is "Dalan Kara", which means "seventy black hills".The Yinshan Mountains are ancient fault-block mountains. It starts from Huashan Mountain in the east of Hebei Province in the east and ends in the Langshan Mountain in the middle of Bayanzhuoer League in Inner Mongolia in the west.Since ancient times, it has been an important place for exchanges between the inland Han people and the northern nomadic peoples.

Our current position is not really entering the mountain, but just on the edge. There is a small hotel on the road where we can rest.

It is said to be a hotel, but it is actually the size of an ordinary small hotel. In addition to its remote location, it looks more like an abandoned hut in a ghost story.

The first floor of the hotel is the place to eat. There are only a few dilapidated tables and benches here and there. When we entered, there was no boss. If it wasn’t for the lights on, I would definitely think that no one lives here.

The second floor is the guest room, and there are less than ten rooms. We picked four better ones, and it is quite comfortable for one person to live in one room.

Since it was night, the boss said that we could only go down, and we saw that there was no other place to eat around, so we made do and ordered four bowls of noodles.

Halfway through eating noodles, an old man suddenly came into the store. This old man was wearing a thick cloth jacket, a pair of rimless glasses, and holding two walnuts in his hand. He seemed to be a villager who often came here for a walk.

When he entered the door, he greeted the shopkeeper first, and then he looked at us with sneaky eyes, "Hey, Lao Xu, there are some rare customers in your shop today."

After speaking, he walked over holding the walnut, staring at Dao Feng: "This little brother's life belongs to gold fire, the five elements lack water, and if he is too rigid, he will break. Yi Ke will kill the one he loves."

Hearing this, Dao Feng frowned slightly and didn't answer, while Ji Xuan and I sat beside, happily watching the joke.

"I didn't expect that this barren mountain could meet an expert, why don't you figure it out for me." The military division is a military division, and the target was changed in a few words.

Hearing Wu Mou's words, the old man slowly turned his head towards him, but there was a little doubt in his eyes: "I can't talk about being an expert, it's just a bad old man, but your fate is too strange. I have lived for so many years, old man, and I have not I've seen such..."

If this was about someone else, I might have laughed it off, but it was the uncle, so I at least half believed it, because when I was in contact with the uncle, I could always feel a special cold aura about him, and occasionally touched him with his body. When you touch it, you will be startled by his low body temperature.

If it wasn't for the abnormal fate, how could there be such a strange phenomenon?

"The old man was joking, there is nothing strange or not." Pushing the stool for the old man to sit down, Wu Mou seemed to be convinced by the old man, and his attitude became more humble and polite: "You live near here Right? We traveled here by car." He pointed at me and Ji Xuan: "These two are my nephew and his wife, and the one with the cold face over there is my younger brother. He's knowledgeable."

Seeing that the old man nodded believing it was true, Wu Mou said again: "We just arrived here and we don't know where to go. Do you have any recommended attractions? Ancient buildings or ruins are also fine."

"Hmm." The old man lowered his head and thought for a moment, then said seriously: "There are no scenic spots, but there is a relic, a Lama pagoda, but ordinary people can't go to that place. It is said that several corpses were dug out from under the pagoda in the first few years."
