Merchant of the Underworld

"Brother Zhang, where are you? I'm here." Li Mazi said on the phone.

"Mazi, you've worked hard this time!" I reassured.

It's okay not to mention it. When I heard the word "hard work", I could tell through the phone that Li Mazi couldn't help but grin and shake his head, complaining again and again: "Don't mention it, I really suffered a big sin this time! That old lady has a bad temper. I won’t tell you how weird it is, just smelling that stench every day almost kills me! Not to mention, I have to put on a smile all day long and scream one after another, hey! Even if it’s true My grandson is not as filial as me and has suffered such a heavy punishment."

"Let me tell you, if there is such a job in the future, I should switch to Boss Bai to try it. I am a master now! How can I do this all day long?"

"Okay." I suppressed a smile and said, "Then let Master Li do what he needs to do."

"What's going on?" Li Mazi immediately became alert when he heard this: "Brother Zhang, I just jumped out of the fire pit, you can't push me in again."

"How can I? This time it's a show-off job. I'll leave it to you to open the tunnel to offer sacrifices. Is that okay?"

"What." Li Mazi asked hesitantly, "Can I do it?"

"What's wrong? We have already obtained the three materials to solve the problem of Tai Sui. I will just tell you the secret of the magic circle. Besides, don't you want to practice your skills now?" I said.

"That's fine." Li Mazi responded, and then asked, "Is this thing dangerous?"

"Why are you so dangerous!" I scolded him in an angry and funny tone: "Can I still trick you? Hurry up, let's go to the criminal police team to meet. Lao Yan was placed in the archives by Captain Huang."

Half an hour later, Li Mazi and I finally met.

I don't blame him for complaining. I really don't know what he has suffered these days. Although it is only a month apart, he has obviously become darker and thinner.

After getting the old salt, I called Boss Guo and asked him to prepare the application props for opening the altar.

When he heard that we were back, he was extremely happy and everything was ready the next morning.

I put the old salt, the blood of the two-headed snake, and the golden lotus dirt that Li Mazi had sealed in layers in the clay pot together, and then told Li Mazi how to use it, and then walked out of the formation.

Li Mazi was wearing an apricot-yellow Taoist robe, holding a Lingyun sword, and was mumbling something serious.

Not to mention, after he became a little thinner and put on this outfit, he really looked like a master.

"Master Zhang, can we start work after offering sacrifices to the altar?" Boss Guo asked.

"Although this magic circle can get rid of Taisui, they have been living here for thousands of years, and the evil spirit is extremely strong, so it is not easy to get rid of them. Next, the tunnel must be thoroughly cleaned with realgar and lime water every day, continuously. After seven days, set off more firecrackers at the entrance of the cave to completely drive away the evil spirit." I warned.

"Oh..." Boss Guo responded repeatedly, and the thin man with glasses standing next to him wrote it down carefully with a pen and paper.

"If it weren't for the help of you two, this tunnel would have been stagnant for who knows how long! I really don't know how to thank you two." Boss Guo said very sincerely: "I know it is disrespectful to talk about money in front of you, but This thank you gift...Master Zhang, just tell me the number, I won’t hesitate!"

I smiled and shook my head: "Boss Guo, once this tunnel is completed, it will be a great thing for the local people and the country. If we use tricks to make money and accept gifts, it will damage our moral integrity. We will never Charge a penny.”

"Then..." Boss Guo wanted to say something else, but I waved my hand to stop him.

"Boss Guo, please take a step to speak. I still have two questions that I don't understand." With that, I walked far away from the crowd.

Boss Guo was a little confused, and then he followed me. When he saw me stopping, he asked cautiously: "Master Zhang, if you have anything to say, just say it."

Originally, I was a little unclear about his details, so I didn’t ask him face to face. Now that Captain Huang has found out the facts and Boss Guo is indeed a real person who looks the same on the surface, there is no need for me to hide anything. Pointing to the famous watch on his wrist, he asked: "I heard that Boss Guo is a simple and down-to-earth person. According to my observation, this is indeed the case, but what is going on?"

Boss Guo laughed loudly: "Oh, you are talking about this. Back then, a friend asked me to open a restaurant together. At that time, he never gave me any money. He said that his cousin brought this watch back from abroad. It was very strange. If it’s valuable, just make a deposit with me.”

"Which friend? Is that the guy who later left a pile of debt and disappeared?"

"That's right!" Boss Guo said: "Although he has disappeared, the things are still here with me. That was then, and now is now, one code after another. I have been wearing it on my hand, just hoping that one day they will be home If someone can recognize it, I can give it back to him. Look, there are still marks engraved on it."

After saying that, he took off his watch chain and showed it to me. Sure enough, there was a special triangular symbol engraved on one end of the watch case.

"Your friend's surname is Lin?"

I suddenly remembered that the ring Lin Zhenbang picked up from his broken arm also had a similar symbol.

"Yes." Boss Guo nodded: "His name is Lin Minghui."

"Then what's his cousin's name?"

"I don't know about this, but his father's name is Lin Zhenguo, and his uncle's name is Lin Zhenye. They both lived in our building earlier, and then they disappeared with him. I also know that this watch is very valuable, although he didn't share it at the beginning. Give me money, but it's worth it. I can't be greedy for other people's things. I just keep waiting for the descendants of their family to come to me to get it back, but they haven't found it after all these years."

"A while ago, someone took my lost ancestral necklace and said he wanted to exchange it for this watch. It's not that I couldn't bear to part with the watch, but it's not my thing in the first place. How could I exchange it with someone else's? , so I didn’t agree. Originally, I wanted to discuss buying it back with him, but he didn’t agree and left in a hurry.” Boss Guo explained.

So that’s it!

It seems that the guy who deceived Boss Guo is probably from the same family as Lin Zhenbang.

Judging from the time, the time when those families disappeared happened to be the time when Lin Zhenbang killed Wu Bingxiong and went into hiding, which was twenty-five years ago.

These people may not know that Lin Zhenbang is a spy, but Lin Zhenbang did not want this clue to be discovered by outsiders, so it is unknown that he killed and silenced him.

"Master, why did you suddenly ask this?" Boss Guo asked.

"Oh, it's nothing." I replied calmly, then took out the necklace of ten lifetime merits from my arms, handed it to him and said, "Can you see if this belongs to your family?"

"Yes! That's it!" Boss Guo took it over joyfully.

"Master Zhang, this... I have accumulated so much virtue over many lifetimes that I can actually know such a noble person like you!"

"Ten lifetimes!" I said with certainty, "Do you know why I want to help you? Not only because the tunnel you want to build is a great thing that will benefit the country and the people, but also because your ancestors are all good deeds. A good person, passed down to your generation, it happens to be the tenth life, commonly known as the merits of the tenth life! After helping you, I will also accumulate good karma invisibly, which is of great benefit. I hope you can continue to pass on this family virtue. Go down."

"Definitely, definitely." Boss Guo nodded repeatedly.

"Boss Guo, I have one more thing to ask for." At this point, I coughed.

"Master Zhang, you are so polite. You have helped me so much. I don't even know how to thank you. Why don't you say you don't ask for anything? Isn't this a slap in the face? What can I do for you? Just say it.”

"I will introduce you to a security captain. His name is Huang Dawang. He turns out to be guarding the construction site for you." I said.

"Oh, I know that." Boss Guo answered: "Xiao Xu told me that he was hit by a car while trying to save a child. I have asked Xiao Xu to go see it, but I have been busy recently. I haven’t poured it out yet, why? That’s what Master Zhang said.”

"Yes! This necklace was actually picked up by him. This is a kind of fate. I hope I can repay the favor." I explained.

"Okay! No problem." Boss Guo replied readily.

At this moment, the crowd gathered around the entrance of the cave to watch the excitement suddenly let out an exclamation. I turned around and saw wisps of black smoke billowing out of the cave. Those who didn't know it thought there was a fire here.

In fact, after the formation was activated, under the stimulation of those three materials, all the Dianshan Taisui were killed, releasing the evil energy.

Originally, this was a normal phenomenon, but I found a face in the billowing smoke.

That face was fleeting, but it was extremely clear. It was a face full of wrinkles and extremely vicissitudes of life.

To be more precise, it was the face of an old foreign lady! Moreover, I seem to have seen this face somewhere before, but I just can’t remember it.

Um?

I was stunned for a moment, and then I immediately thought of the problem, it was the two-headed snake!

There must be a reason why Imzai is willing to give up everything for this snake! But before he could say it, he was suddenly destroyed by Lin Zhenbang and killed by Jiu Sheng Pagoda, and the secret hidden in his heart disappeared.

After I woke up, I checked carefully and found nothing special.

It seems that the method of hiding this ghost is very special, and in order to suppress Tai Sui at Dianshan, I used the Nine Nether Secret Soul Gathering Formation. Under the influence of this formation, the ghost hidden in the snake finally appeared.

It's just that the snake body is dead and Imzai has turned into smoke. The ghost can't survive for long. It dissipated quickly after being forced out by the magic circle.

From this point of view, Imzai and this very familiar old lady must have some inextricable connection, but at this time, no one knows about it anymore...

"Master Zhang, is this okay?" Boss Guo looked at the billowing smoke and asked worriedly.

"It's okay. My senior brother will also stay and look after you until work starts normally. Boss Guo, that's it. I'll leave first." I said and stretched out my hand to him.

After bidding farewell to Boss Guo, I embarked on my journey back to Wuhan.

While on the road, I couldn't help but think to myself: Guo Xibin is a good man in ten generations, sincere and honest, doing good deeds with all his heart, God does not let him down, and he has always been favored by good luck.

Wu Laobao was a good person in his nine previous lives, but he himself went astray and embarked on the tomb robbing business. However, his kindness was not lost, and he still tried his best to help poor people. After being enlightened by the mysterious Taoist, he abandoned evil and followed good, accumulated countless evil virtues, and was finally able to turn danger into safety.

However, Wu Qianwu, who had the same father as him and was originally from the same family, did not change his ways, worsened his situation, and eventually died.

Gao Shenghan's ancestors have been killing people for more than ten generations, but he has accumulated a lot of merit, killing thieves for the country, and his merits will last forever!

From this point of view, the merits of the ten lives are clear between good and evil. As long as you are committed to the good path, God will definitely give you justice!
