Merchant of the Underworld

Li Mazi's description was exactly what I thought. He received a text message from Yin Xinyue. The content of the text message was extremely explicit, and she also invited him to sit in Qin Jiuhe.

As a result, when they arrived at the Qin Jiuhe River, Li Mazi did not wait for Yin Xinyue, but saw K Zai instead.

Li Mazi realized that something was wrong and just wanted to escape, but was knocked unconscious by the other party. After waking up, he appeared in this rental house. Li Mazi was very angry at the time and wanted to teach the other person a lesson. Who knew that before he got close to the other person, the guy lay on the bed with a smile, then cut the rope above his head and said he wanted to give Li Mazi a small gift.

Before Li Mazi could react, a guillotine fell from the sky and cut Mr. K in two. Li Mazi fainted from fright.

I looked very unhappy, and after listening to Li Mazi's belly, I said, "You are going to die too."

Li Mazi was startled for a moment and quickly asked me what I meant?

I said: "When I just came in, I saw the corpse lying on top of you, with his hand put into your mouth. I suspected that he stuffed the human bone necklace into your stomach..."

Li Mazi was shocked, and then his face turned pale, and finally he burst into tears: "Brother, save me, you must save me."

I quickly comforted Li Mazi: "Don't be afraid, there must be a way. Let's go back to the hotel first, and we have to think about this matter in the long run. Aji, I'll leave this place to you!"

Song Longji nodded and said, I will send you back. Other police officers will be here to take charge of the scene.

I nodded in agreement. With Li Mazi covered in blood, it was really hard for us to take a taxi.

After finally waiting for the police to arrive, we immediately got into Song Longji's car. He took us back to the hotel. Li Mazi rubbed hard in the bathroom, as if he was trying to rub out the human bone necklace.

Yin Xinyue asked me in a low voice, would Li Mazi, like the previous people who died, either pull out his intestines or cut himself in half?

I shook my head helplessly. I didn't know exactly what would happen. I wasn't even sure how to deal with the human bone necklace.

I didn't even dare to let Li Mazi go to defecate. If his intestines were pulled out, it would really be a disaster...

Li Mazi walked out of the bathroom, looked at me with burning eyes, and asked me if I had thought of any good solution?

I shook my head at him and said don't worry yet. Human bone necklaces harm people for a certain period of time. We still have enough time to think about it.

Li Mazi sat in front of me and said, think quickly, think quickly, what a damn unlucky person, how could this thing come to me?

I glared at Li Mazi and said, if you weren't greedy, how could the human bone necklace take advantage of you?

Li Mazi said why am I so fucking greedy?

I said you covet Yin Xinyue's beauty. Isn't this considered greedy?

Li Mazi was silent for a long time before he said that everyone has a love for beauty. But I will never touch a woman again, beauty is a disaster.

Yin Xinyue was angry and kicked Li Mazi.

There is no doubt that the human bone necklace carries great resentment, and it is precisely because of the resentment in it that so many people died. What we have to do now is to find a way to eliminate the resentment from this thing!

To eliminate resentment, we must prescribe the right medicine. Since we know that the resentment of the human bone necklace is because Chao Cuo, a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, was unjustly killed, then we must vindicate Chao Cuo.

However, how to vindicate Chao Cuo? We can't travel back to the Han Dynasty.

I closed my eyes and thought carefully. After thinking about it, I remembered a story my grandfather once told me.

When my grandfather was young, he once received a gold medal. That gold medal was one of the twelve gold medals that recalled the famous Southern Song Dynasty general Yue Fei! The gold medal's resentment is so strong that all its holders are seriously ill.

So grandpa played Yue Fei for a time, and then found someone to play Qin Hui, changing the ending. In front of the gold medal, Yue Fei killed the treacherous minister Qin Hui, finally eliminating the gold medal's resentment!

Grandpa told me that this trick is called the 'substitution method'.

Isn’t the situation we are encountering now exactly the same as what my grandfather encountered back then? We can also use the ‘substitute method’. Thinking of this, I quickly told Yin Xinyue and Li Mazi what I thought.

After listening, the two of them became somewhat silent.

They are still worried that this trick will not work, because the method I proposed is really ridiculous.

Indeed, when acting in front of a human bone necklace, it doesn’t matter whether the human bone necklace is conscious or not, and whether it can be seen. Even if we can see it, we will definitely have many loopholes in the performance. If the human bone necklace gets angry, Li Mazi will be more dangerous.

This move is indeed a desperate move...

But I really have no other choice but to take risks right now.

Li Mazi hesitated for a long time, and finally said to me: "Actually, your method can be used as a backup. I have another method."

I immediately looked at Li Mazi.

Li Mazi said: "We can go find the guy in the long-sleeved T-shirt! Since he has saved us twice, he can definitely save us a third time. I see that he is a master, and maybe we can solve the problem in minutes. Human bone necklace.”

Yes, T-shirt man, why did I forget T-shirt man? When the man in the T-shirt left before, he specifically told me that I could go to Hong Kong Lost Way Temple to find him.

A master like him must have a way to save Li Mazi's life, right?

Thinking of this, we immediately borrowed Song Longji's car without saying a word, used GPS navigation, and went all the way to Lost Way Temple.

Lost Way Temple is just a small Taoist temple in Hong Kong. It is very simple and there is basically no incense. It is completely different from the Shaolin Temple in mainland China where a stick of incense costs 100,000 yuan.

I was a little disappointed, thinking this is where the T-shirt man lives?

However, he still took Li Mazi and Yin Xinyue in.

I knocked politely, and the door was opened quickly. A Taoist boy who looked about thirteen or fourteen years old and had braids opened the door.

The little Taoist boy looked at us with a smile on his face: "Which one of you is Zhang Jiulin?"

I was stunned immediately. How did he know my name?

I immediately said that I am.

The little Taoist boy nodded: "Senior brother said you would come today, so let me stay in the observation hall and wait for you. Come in! Senior brother has gone out for something and will not come back until evening."

Li Mazi immediately flattered him and said, "Master, you can actually predict that we will come today."

The little Taoist priest smiled slightly and invited us in without saying anything else.

The Taoist temple is very small, but Yin Xinyue told me that the land here is very valuable, and you can't buy it for more than 100,000 yuan per square meter. To be able to own a Taoist temple in this place, it seems that the financial strength of the man in the T-shirt is not bad.

The little Taoist boy took us into the main hall. There is a statue of Wong Tai Sin in the main hall, which is about the same size as a real person. I lit three sticks of incense and the smoke was not very big, but after seeing the statue, I felt much more peaceful.

The little Taoist boy asked us to sit for a while while he ran to the yard to boil water.

I looked at this small Taoist temple out of boredom, and the more I looked at it, the more antique it became.

The little Taoist boy came in soon. He pointed at Li Mazi and said, "You, take off your clothes and soak in the fragrant soup."

Li Mazi said anxiously that the water was boiling. If I went in and soaked it, wouldn't it make the meat ripe?

The little Taoist boy smiled and said: "Senior brother said, if you don't go in for a dip, we can have an extra meal tonight, a spicy pepper sausage..."

Li Mazi was stunned for a moment and quickly asked the little Taotong what he meant? The little Taoist said that if you don't soak in it, your intestines will come out of your mouth in the evening.

It immediately made all of us feel quite nauseous.

Li Mazi was also frightened by the spicy pepper sausage and turned pale, and quickly jumped into the vat.

At the beginning, Li Mazi enjoyed it quite a lot. However, as the temperature increased, Li Mazi was suddenly burned and screamed repeatedly.

The little Taoist boy continued to add fuel to the fire.

In this way, I stayed up until night, and finally there was a knock on the door outside the Taoist temple.

The little Taoist boy immediately smiled and said: Senior brother is back.

After saying that, he jumped up and ran to open the door.

The person who knocked on the door was indeed a man in a T-shirt. He had a straight nose, fair skin, and two raised eyebrows. He was so handsome that it made people jealous.

But he was still wearing the loose Kumamon T-shirt. I couldn't help but have a question, how much does he love Kumamon? Wear something like this every day.

The man in the T-shirt was carrying a package behind him. The package was bulging, and he didn't know what it contained.

He raised his head, glanced at us coldly, and walked straight towards Li Mazi soaking in the barrel.
