Merchant of the Underworld

The man in the T-shirt in the video pointed to the side: "That's him." He turned the video around, and I immediately saw the black-hearted monk in the camera gnawing on a chicken butt and his mouth was full of oil.

Damn it, why are these two guys still hanging out together?

The man in the T-shirt called the Black Heart monk: "Heixin, Jiulin has encountered a problem."

"What's the problem?" The black-hearted monk came over carelessly and waved when he saw me in the video: "Long time no see!"

It seems...it didn't take long, right?

I smiled awkwardly at the black-hearted monk and told him about the leopard-head knife again. After hearing this, the black-hearted monk looked at the blade of the sword carefully, clasped his hands and said, "Although the poor monk has never seen this sword, he has heard its name."

I immediately breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed I had asked the right person.

The black-hearted monk continued: "Have you heard of the story of Lin Chong, the leopard head?"

"Of course I have heard of it." I nodded: "He is a famous character in "Water Margin". He was once the instructor of 800,000 forbidden troops, and later went to Liangshan on a snowy night. I also guessed that it was him, but... Isn’t he a fictional character in a novel?”

"This is because you are ignorant." The black-hearted monk laughed: "Although "Water Margin" is a novel, the stories in it are not completely made up. There is indeed a water bank in Liangshan in Shandong, and it was true in the Northern Song Dynasty. There was a group of rebels led by Song Jiang. Although there were not 108 generals, there were 36 generals. This is recorded in "The Legacy of Xuanhe", and Lin Chong, the leopard head, was one of them."

"Lin Chong was the instructor of the 800,000-strong Forbidden Army at that time. Because he was invincible in marksmanship and had a leopard head with eyes, people in the world called him Leopard Head! He wanted to live his life peacefully, but his wife was killed by Gao Yanei, the adopted son of Gao Qiu. Lin Chong tolerated all kinds of teasing the first time, and the second time too. The third time Lin Chong was so humiliated that he even wanted to divorce his wife to save his official position. He is a good man, but he lives a more cowardly life than a dog! Then! Gao Yanei was not a fuel-efficient person either. Even after this, he still refused to let Lin Chong go. Not only did he force Lin Chong's wife to death, causing Lin Chong to be sent to Cangzhou, but he also wanted to burn Lin Chong to death. At this time, Lin Chong finally couldn't bear it anymore and took out the gun. With the sword on his waist, he killed all the thieves and fled to Liangshan! This is how the story of Lin Chong’s Fengxue Mountain Temple came to be. This knife was Lin Chong’s revenge knife back then. It contains his feeling of being forced by society and having no more patience. Courage!”

After the black-hearted monk finished speaking, he said proudly: "So, it is also beneficial to read more books."

"Then what should I do now?" I said worriedly.

"What should I do? What should I do? You are not a stupid boy just starting out. Don't you understand this?" The black-hearted monk dropped these words and ran to eat the chicken's butt again.

The man in the T-shirt pointed at the video and said: "Actually, I also know something about the Song Jiang Uprising in history. Although Song Jiang's army was not large at that time, it ran across Shandong and was unstoppable. Tens of thousands of officers and soldiers did not dare to fight. The prefect heard that All the heroes who came to Liangshan were so frightened that they fled! Unfortunately, they were ambushed by Zhang Shuye, and Song Jiang and others were all captured by the officers and soldiers. However, no matter how Zhang Shuye persuaded them, they would rather die than surrender, and in the end they were all brutally killed He was killed and buried at the foot of Baihu Mountain. The local people were grateful for these heroes' belief in upholding justice for heaven, and spontaneously built a 'hero's tomb' for them. There is also a poem circulated among the people: The white tiger is in the shade of the mountain, and the tomb is green with green grass and trees. Ask whose tomb is the tomb of a hero in Liangshan."

I nodded repeatedly.

The man in the T-shirt continued: "The person who tied the bell must untie it. To appease Lin Chong's ghost, I'm afraid he must be sent back to the Tomb of a Good Man."

I gratefully thanked the man in the T-shirt and walked out of the Internet cafe with the knife on my back.

I sent a text message to Li Mazi, asking him to meet me at the station. Li Mazi arrived quickly and asked with a surprised look on his face: "How's it going? Is there a solution?"

"Yes!" I nodded solemnly: "I asked the man in the T-shirt for advice, and he said that this sword is very bloodthirsty, and it must kill someone whose horoscope coincides with his. We did the math, and your horoscope is the most suitable. , Li Mazi, I have wronged you this time!"

Before I finished speaking, Li Mazi ran away in fright, and I couldn't help laughing wildly.

Li Mazi reacted and came over cautiously: "Brother Zhang, are you kidding me?"

"Otherwise? I'm afraid your blood will stain this sword." I said.

Li Mazi protested dissatisfied: "Do you know that people can scare people to death?"

Because of its long history, Baihu Mountain has already been translated as Baifo Mountain. I heard that the name of this mountain contains the word "Buddha". I wonder if it is because the Yin spirits of the Liangshan heroes are too overbearing, so they have to move out the Buddha to suppress them?

Li Mazi and I didn't dare to delay and took the bus. It was in the afternoon when we arrived at Baifo Mountain. Perhaps because of the hot weather, there were not many tourists on the mountain. We asked people nearby, but no one knew the location of the hero's tomb.

Li Mazi looked at me worriedly: "Brother, what should I do?"

I thought about it and simply held the handle of the knife. That strange power surged into my body again. Different from the previous time, this time the power was obviously more powerful, and it seemed like I had been summoned by some kind. I even felt another power reaching my body from a distance. Body.

Feeling that power, I picked up the knife and moved forward, cutting down trees and splitting rocks when I encountered them!

Leopard Head Sword took me to a towering old tree. Under the tree there was a tomb made of piles of stones. It seemed that this was the so-called tomb of a good man. At this point, the power was suddenly drawn out of my body, as if all of it was poured into the blade of the sword. The sword made a deafening hunting sound.

That’s right, it’s here!

I respectfully inserted the leopard-headed knife into the soil, feeling filled with emotion. The heroes who are currently revolting because of tyranny were buried hastily after death, without even an inscription.

And the leader Song Jiang, who would rather die than surrender, was wrongfully accused of becoming a capitulator in the novel, and suffered a thousand years of infamy in vain!

The sword swished, inserted directly into the ground, and disappeared without a trace. It seems that it has finally returned to the place it wanted to return to. Lin Chong's ghost has also reunited with the other heroes. The thirty-six of them will never be separated again.

Li Mazi and I returned to Xia Se's house, and I simply explained that the knife had been dealt with.

The Shandong police also found the murderer who killed Uncle Xia Se's family. It turned out that the murderer was Xia Se's uncle himself. He killed his family members crazily with a knife and then committed suicide.

Of course I don't believe that he would be so crazy. The Leopard Head Sword must have controlled him. I just don't understand why the Leopard Head Sword would do this?

On the way back, Xia Qin solved my doubts.

It turned out that when the two sisters lived in their uncle's house when they were children, they were often abused by his uncle. Instead of feeling ashamed, his uncle even intensified his efforts to imprison his sister in the cellar, where he vented his animal desires every day, completely cultivating her sister into a sexual- slave. Later, her sister escaped and was saved when she met her current brother-in-law.

This is also the reason why the beautiful Xia Se married that unremarkable husband.

I totally get it.

Xia Qin's hatred for her uncle did not diminish because of his death. She said bitterly: "God is still fair, and evil will be punished!"

But I suddenly remembered the leopard-headed sword. It was the leopard-headed sword that gave Xia Se's husband infinite courage and allowed him to dare to resist evil forces.

Later, when they returned to their hometown, Xia Se begged his uncle again. The uncle and aunt must have said a lot of unpleasant things. These words were heard by Xia Se's husband, which aroused his blood again, so Leopard Head Saber became furious. , killed his uncle's family.

As for why the leopard-headed sword helped Xia Se's husband, the leopard-headed Lin Chong must be his ancestor, right? Because Xia Se's husband happens to be named Lin.

While Xia Qin was going to the bathroom, Li Mazi suddenly came over and asked me: "Brother Zhang, you said that Xia Qin fell in love with me, is it because she was also... when she was a child?"

"Fuck you!" I kicked him away.
