Merchant of the Underworld

I let out a long sigh and said, "These are all guilty souls."

"Guilty soul?" The He family father and son were stunned at the same time and looked at me in confusion.

I pointed to the corpses placed on the shore and said: "These people have died tragically for thousands of years, but their souls cannot live in peace and are unable to be reincarnated. It is because they are sinful souls and are trapped in this black pool."

"The only way to reincarnate them is to use the blood of your He family."

At this moment, the clay figurines holding the He family's clothes all shriveled up, their bodies gradually became thinner, and finally turned into withered bones all over the ground, motionless.

"Master Zhang, I don't quite understand what this means," He An asked in confusion.

I explained: "The Blackwater Pond is barren and cold. It is not naturally formed, but someone deliberately set up a forbidden area here to trap these ghosts. The blood of your He family is the solution, so they Only then will they come to the shore and compete to kowtow."

"The blood of the He family?" He An looked down at his fingers and said thoughtfully: "Then you are saying that this forbidden area was created by our ancestors of the He family."

"That's not necessarily the case! But it must be closely related to your He family. Although Xiao Ju does not have the blood of the He family, under your adoption, she is also tainted with the aura of the He family. As soon as she approached this pool, she was immediately This group of guilty souls discovered..."

"They couldn't harm the He family, but they could secretly poison Xiao Ju, so they used insidious methods to kill her."

"But at this time, the spirit that has been guarding your He family also noticed it and came to the rescue. Only then did Xiaoju turn the corner and save her life. But... why did she come to the Blackwater Pond?" I was slightly confused.

"It's the death anniversary." Dad He said: "Her father died on this day. At first, we kept it secret from her, hoping that she would forget this painful history, but this child was very thoughtful and found out what happened that year. Afterwards, I would bring some cigarettes and alcohol every day and come to the waterhole to pay my respects. This is already the third year, but nothing happened in the first two years."

At this moment, the thick black mud suddenly turned outward, and another figure crawled out of it.

The figure's movements are very vigorous and it crawls very fast. From the figure, it can be vaguely seen that it should be a woman, wearing a modern outfit.

"It's Qin San's wife!" Some of the villagers recognized her and screamed loudly.

"Why is she in the pond? Did she jump into the pond that day?"

"This is a human or a ghost!"

The crowd shouted loudly and backed away.

"Is this Qin San's daughter-in-law Xiaoju's mother?" I turned to ask Dad He.

"Yes, this is Xiaoju's biological mother." Dad He replied very frightened, and took a few steps back at the same time.

"That's right!" I nodded: "It seems that my guess is correct! She jumped into the pool out of shame and turned into a Gu corpse."

"Xiao Ju has such a kind heart. Maybe she has forgiven her mother a long time ago and even worshiped her together. This is a forbidden place for sinful souls. There are poisonous snakes and insects everywhere. She is a newly dead ghost. Once she is offered incense, she will immediately She turned into a Gu corpse, and all the strange diseases among the children in the village were caused by her! Stay away."

As soon as I finished speaking, the body washed up on the shore and climbed up like a machine.

When the surrounding villagers saw this scene, they immediately screamed in fright and fled in all directions.

"rise!"

I quickly took out the magic talisman and screamed.

Oh oh oh! The big roosters tied to the shore raised their necks and crowed at the same time, and the dogs also barked wildly.

I quickly rubbed a handful of cinnabar on a scarecrow and threw it head on.

Click! As soon as the scarecrow landed on the ground, it seemed to have roots under its feet, and it was just in front of the corpse.

The corpse trembled in fright, took a few steps back, turned and glared at me fiercely.

Her eyes were red, and blood was pouring down her eye sockets.

Then she opened her mouth suddenly and screamed. The smelly sludge mixed with bright red blood flowed out from the big mouth, and the sharp fangs flashed with cold light. She looked absolutely terrifying. !

She roared crazily and rushed towards me with all her strength.

"Definitely!" I quickly waved my hand, and the magic talisman flew out, hitting her forehead. Before she could react, I used the invisible needle again and threw it out.

Several needle shadows passed through her head one after another, and at the same time, the magic talisman exploded.

Snapped!

The corpse was immediately blown into hundreds of pieces. The blood was soaring to the sky and the stench was overwhelming. In an instant, it was turned into pieces of corpses on the ground!

When the villagers who were running away in panic behind me saw this scene, they were all stunned and looked at me hesitantly.

"Don't be stunned. If there are any children at home who have strange diseases, go pick up a piece of flesh and blood, burn it into ashes and bury it at the door, and it will be fine." I told everyone.

After hearing what I said, the villagers immediately woke up, no longer worried, and rushed to pick up the items.

"Burn all these bones together!" I turned around and told the village chief: "Remember to dig the pit deeper, sprinkle quicklime on top, and plant willow trees around it. From now on, this pool will be fine."

"Oh, okay." The village chief nodded in agreement and immediately directed the villagers to take action quickly.

"Let's go!" I patted He An on the shoulder: "Now let's go and see who is protecting your He family."

I folded a medium-sized magic talisman into a paper crane and flicked it out of thin air. Speaking of which, the man in the T-shirt taught me how to fold this paper crane.

The paper crane circled in the air, and then it seemed to suddenly come to life. It flapped its wings and led us to fly towards He's house, flew into the yard, ran straight to the small house to the east, and got through the crack in the door. Go in.

The house was small and shabby, with six or seven rusty locks on the door. Even the walls made of stones were covered with moss, leaving traces of time.

"What is this place?" I stood in front of the door and was confused for a while, then turned around and asked.

"This is our family's old house." Dad He explained: "I don't know when it was built. No one has lived in it since I was a child. But my grandfather told me before he died that this house will be preserved no matter what. It cannot be dismantled.”
