Merchant of the Underworld

With Cripple Xu as a person who can provide me with things, I feel a lot more at ease! To be honest, I have never worried about the price he asked for being too high. Although I have spent a lot over the years, it is not difficult to come up with a sum of money.

After I calmed down, I stopped fussing. I cleared a place in the hall and lay down to sleep. Fortunately, nothing happened again at night. I don't know about the others. Anyway, I had a good sleep and woke up refreshed the next day. If it weren't for the body of Manager Wang still there, I almost forgot that two people had died here.

Captain Chen grabbed me as soon as I arrived and said that he had just contacted Cripple Xu and said that he was free in the morning and could go anytime. But he was a little hesitant when he said this. I asked him strangely what was going on, and he said awkwardly: "He asked you to prepare enough banknotes..."

"So that's it. Don't worry, I know his rules." I smiled, but didn't take it to heart.

Captain Chen still told me uneasily that this was not a small amount of money. If he couldn't get it out and was kicked out by the cripple Xu, it would be difficult to find him next time. I still reassured him, and then without saying anything else, I ate the breakfast the police bought from outside, and gave Li Mazi and Xiao Ge a few words before getting ready to leave.

"Um...should I have this body taken away? The temperature is not low now. I'm afraid it will smell if I put it down again." Captain Chen wrinkled his nose as he passed by the bathroom.

Seeing that Manager Wang's body was not of much use, I agreed. Captain Chen immediately called on several people to take the body away. As soon as the body was taken away, Qin Ruo and the others' faces improved a lot.

Because we were going to see the cripple Xu, Captain Chen did not use a police car. We found a taxi and went straight to the east of Xianyang City.

I was a little surprised when I arrived. I didn't expect that Xianyang City had such a shabby place. After all, tourists who come here every year also create a lot of GDP. Why does this place look like a slum?

Captain Chen smiled and explained that the people living in this area are elderly people who are unwilling to move. In addition, the buildings here are indeed old, and the government is not willing to demolish them, so they stayed. Experts also said that the houses here are very There is retained value.

I glanced at it and found that it was exactly what he said, so I nodded: "Is Cripple Xu living here?"

"Well, I heard he thinks this place is clean." Captain Chen turned to me while leading the way.

Pure?

I looked at the surrounding environment. It was no longer clean. No one without courage would dare to come here at night. But it suits him quite well. Not only is it clean, but there are also some ghosts who accompany him from time to time to relieve his boredom.

Captain Chen stopped in front of an old, low house and knocked on the door.

"Come in." A hoarse and low voice came from behind the door. It seemed that the person speaking was behind the door. I didn't quite understand why he didn't just open the door?

Before Captain Chen reached out and pushed open the door, he whispered to me: Be respectful, he has a weird temper!

"Who do you think has a weird attitude?" As soon as the door was opened and before we could walk in, an angry shout came out, and Captain Chen smiled awkwardly.

I looked up and saw an old man with a stooped waist and age spots all over his face. He was at least eighty or ninety years old standing behind the door. After scolding Captain Chen, he turned around and entered the house without even looking at us. .

Captain Chen pulled me and followed him, walking quickly while not forgetting to close the door.

"Mr. Xu, this is Master Zhang, the No. 1 femininity merchant in Wuhan, Zhang Jiulin, who I told you about. He has something to do with you. You guys are chatting while I go outside to guard the door." Captain Chen quickly introduced me to the cripple Xu, and then said He ran out like he was running for his life, and I was dumbfounded.

You're not just a friend, why do you feel like you've seen a ghost?

Cripple Xu sneered: "Tsk, tsk, ask him to go through the back door to dig an ancient tomb, just like digging his family's ancestral tomb."

I glanced at the cripple Xu speechlessly. If I were to find the police, go through the back door or dig an ancient tomb, I'm really glad you always figured it out. If I were Captain Chen, I would run faster.

Fortunately, the cripple Xu didn't ignore me. After complaining about Captain Chen, he raised his eyelids and asked me what I wanted.

"A peach tree that is over a hundred years old, ten high-quality exorcism talismans, and a handy weapon." I simply reported a few items. If the other party was not the cripple Xu, I might just buy some gadgets like salt and dog blood to exorcise ghosts. But since it's him, it's better to just get a handy weapon. As for the peach wood and the magic talisman, they are mainly for other people's self-defense.

Only then did Cripple Xu look me seriously: "Don't you have a weapon on you?"

I was surprised. I didn't expect that he could see invisible needles? Invisible needles are naturally good, but the Yin Spirit this time gave me a sense of crisis, so I decided to prepare more.

"Haha, I'm not interested in your weapons. Since you still want a weapon, then come with me. As long as you can afford the price, I promise not to let you down." The cripple Xu smiled and trembled. He stood up and walked to the back of the house.

I immediately got up and followed. It turned out that there was a small warehouse behind the house, but the things inside were as messy as a garbage dump. I didn't even know where to put my feet.

So I stood at the door without going in, watching the cripple Xu picking through a pile of things, like an old man scavenging.

"Yes!" He suddenly shouted, then raised his hand and threw something towards me.

I caught it in a hurry, only to find that what I was holding was a black ball about the size of a baby's fist. It didn't look like anything special.

"This?" I stared at the ball suspiciously. The cripple Xu pursed his lips and asked me to pour some spiritual energy into it.

I did as he said half-believingly, and the black ball suddenly made a sizzling sound, and then a white light spread from the black ball. Seeing that it reacted, I continued to use my spiritual power to activate the black ball, and the white light shield grew larger and larger until it covered the entire small warehouse.

At the same time, I also felt weak and quickly collected my spiritual power. The light mask disappeared and the black ball became inconspicuous again.

"What the hell is this?" I asked in horror. The speed at which this black ball absorbed spiritual energy must be too fast. I probably wouldn't even be able to hold on to such a large mask for a minute.

The cripple Xu stared at the black ball reluctantly: "I found this thing in my early years. The history is unknown, so I call it the black ball! Hey, don't look at its dark appearance. The effect is not small. As long as you use this thing If the Yin spirit is covered inside, no matter how powerful the Yin spirit is, it can only exert half of its strength inside the light barrier, isn't it true?"

I stared at the black ball in my hand in shock. I didn't expect this thing to have such a big effect? And, it’s just right for what I’m using right now.

I still don’t know what level the Yin Spirit in the villa is, but whether it is a ghost fairy or a ghost emperor, it will be easy for me to deal with it if it can only use half of its strength. Even if it only takes a short minute, it will be enough... …

"Like it? If you like it, just give me money." The cripple Xu stretched out his hand and snatched the black ball back, as if he was afraid that I would rob it.

I curled my lips and asked him how much, and he stretched out a hand, spread his fingers and waved them in front of my eyes. I asked tentatively: "Fifty thousand?"

He looked at me with disdain, and I immediately asked him if it was half a million. Seeing that he still didn't move, I called out: "I'll go, you are robbing money, you want five million for such a black ball?" "

"Do you want to buy it or not?" He glared at me and turned around, apparently intending to put the black ball back.

I immediately grabbed him and said, "I didn't say I wouldn't buy it, but could it be cheaper?"

"Will Zhang Yaoyang's grandson be short of money?" He glared at me: "If you don't bargain, just don't buy it if you are nagging."

Seeing that he knew my identity, I understood that the price could not be negotiated. I transferred the money to him with a sullen face, and then I went straight to the door with the black ball in my arms.

The cripple Xu asked me behind me if I wanted the Shangqing Talisman and the century-old peach wood? I don't want to pay attention to him. The black ball has already caused me to bleed profusely. I don't have to deal with any ghosts for the next two things. I can just go begging.

"Tsk, tsk, young people these days are stingy when they spend so much money. Come on, I'll give you those two things for free." The cripple Xu said in a tone that said he hated iron.

I almost exploded when I heard the first half of the sentence. What does such a small amount of money mean? Although I earn more, because of my grandfather’s instructions, I have always been doing good deeds everywhere. This five million is already very painful. Now that I have given it away like this, he still dislikes it? But after hearing the second half of the sentence, I immediately turned around and smiled to tell him not to cheat, and quickly brought those two things.

I don't know about other people, but the peach wood and magic talismans here in Cripple Xu are definitely good things. If you don't want them for free, just give me some interest on the five million.

"Wait!"

The cripple Xu said nothing and started digging through a pile of things. After digging for a long time, he threw two things to me as if he were throwing away garbage. Then he just shouted at me and walked out, saying that he had lost a lot of money.

To be honest, if he hadn't been really old, I would have definitely gone up and punched him. He would have suffered a big loss, but what about me? Wouldn't it be a bigger loss?

After I bought something, I didn't want to talk nonsense with him. I hurriedly walked out without him yelling at me. Who knew that when I was about to reach the door, he pulled me back again.

I immediately hugged the things in my arms and looked at him warily, for fear that he would regret it.

"I won't get back what I sold. Why are you looking like a thief guard?" He glared at me, and then without waiting for me to say anything, he actually softened his tone and said, "Little Zhang family Grandson, don’t forget where you are.”

After saying that, he kicked me out of the door. I didn't react until the door slammed shut, and I yelled and asked him what he meant? But there was no response from behind the door, and I knew he wouldn't answer.
