Merchant of the Underworld

It turned out that I guessed right. Ever since I bought this jade lamp, I started to have bad luck.

First, when I went out to cross the street, I always heard someone calling my name. But when I turned around, I couldn't see anyone I knew at all. Because of this, I was almost hit by a car several times.

A few days later, my house was attacked by a thief again, and all my ID card, account book, and bank card were stolen. I was so angry that I wanted to curse.

This is not serious. Once when I was smoking in a store, the ashes of the cigarette set the curtains on fire for no apparent reason. Fortunately, the neighbors came to put out the fire, otherwise I would have accompanied my house of antiques to report to the Palace of Hell.

Later, I even drank some foreign wine and got a perforated stomach.

I smiled helplessly, so I had to dig a hole in the ground, temporarily bury the jade lantern, and cover it with a layer of quicklime, which could absorb the yin energy of the jade lantern.

At the same time, I was desperately looking for a buyer and wanted to sell it as soon as possible.

It’s not that I don’t want to use the evil merchant’s methods to relieve Deng’s resentment. It’s just that I know nothing about it and have no way to start!

If you want to relieve Deng's resentment, you must start from the root cause. Firstly, I don’t know the origin of this lamp, and secondly, I don’t understand its effect, so the only way to do it is to take action as soon as possible.

After I buried the jade lantern, my life became stable for a while. But the good times did not last long, that is, a week later, when I went out in the morning, I saw a lot of ashes from burning paper at the door.

At first, I thought some naughty kid was burning paper and playing in front of my store, so I didn’t pay attention and planned to do a simple cleaning. But when I was cleaning, I found a colorful portrait of the golden boy among the ashes. These were actually paper bundles burned to the dead!

Damn it, burning paper people in front of my store is a curse on me.

I immediately disposed of the ashes and asked the security guard on the street if I saw anyone burning paper in front of my store yesterday?

The security guard's answer made my scalp numb with shock.

They actually said it was me who burned it.

I was so frightened that I handed each of them a cigarette and asked, "Brothers, are you sure it's me and not someone else?"

The security guards immediately laughed: "Boss Zhang, we even said hello to you at that time. You didn't open the store here for only a day or two, how can we admit you wrong?"

I smiled awkwardly and said maybe I was drunk last night.

Then he ran away in despair.

Immediately afterwards, for several days, there were traces of paper burners at the door of the store, but it may be because of the strong wind that all the paper ashes were blown away...

I was panicked and decided that no matter what, I had to find out what the cause was.

This matter is probably related to that jade lamp!

On the day I was preparing to take action, Yin Xinyue came again. You could tell at a glance that I didn't look good, so I quickly asked if I felt uncomfortable.

I smiled bitterly and said to her, "There might be something wrong with that damn jade lamp."

It's okay not to say anything. As soon as Yin Xinyue talked about weird things, she immediately became interested and insisted that I explain it clearly.

I knew that if I didn't tell her, she would definitely pester me until tomorrow morning, so I simply told her the bad luck I had encountered in the past few days.

Unexpectedly, Yin Xinyue became extremely excited immediately and said, "I haven't been this excited for a long time. I will accompany you tonight."

I didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Beauty, I'm not having a party here, why are you following me? Be careful of ghosts."

Yin Xinyue answered happily: "It's just that you might encounter a ghost, so I followed you. You don't know, the company is currently working on a horror movie project, and I am the producer, and I am worried about lack of inspiration."

Damn it, now I have a follower, I think tonight will be difficult.

Originally, I decided to stay on the street all night to observe who was burning paper in front of my store. But now Yin Xinyue insisted on following me. Out of concern for her personal safety, I finally borrowed a store across the street and decided to stay there tonight and observe it carefully.

I don't know where Yin Xinyue went wrong. She actually brought a DV camera and said that she wanted to record what happened tonight. Maybe she could put it into the movie without cutting it. I would definitely give it to her then. I royalties.

I was quite helpless, but there was nothing I could do about it. No matter how I looked at Yin Xinyue, she was just playing.

After eating, I took over the shop from the owner opposite and closed the door, leaving only a gap. Yin Xinyue placed the camera outside the door, seemingly planning to turn it on all night.

I didn't stop her, I just sat on the sofa and looked at my phone.

Yin Xinyue was so excited that she walked around the room, occasionally approaching the crack of the door to see what was going on outside. But when she persisted until eleven o'clock, she felt a little sleepy and couldn't stand it anymore, so she just lay down on the sofa and slept.

God doesn't know which nerve has gone wrong these days. The wind has been quite strong, whining loudly, and the temperature has dropped drastically. I put a blanket on Yin Xinyue and ran to the door to take a look.

There are still security patrols at the moment, but this is probably the last round. After this circle, they will no longer continue patrolling. I guess weird things are likely to happen during this time!

In order to avoid missing the key point, I simply moved a stool, sat next to the door and looked outside.

The wind still shows no sign of stopping, the shadows of the trees are swaying on the ground, and occasionally one or two plastic bags can be seen flying on the street.

This scene and atmosphere are really similar to the background of Hong Kong ghost movies.

At this moment, I suddenly heard a movement. I was immediately startled and pricked up my ears to listen. Unfortunately, the wind was so loud that I couldn't hear it clearly, but I vaguely felt that the sound was a woman's cry.

How could a woman's cry come from the door of my shop in the middle of the night?

I opened the door crack wider and prepared to take a closer look. But it doesn't matter if you don't look. When I looked at it, I found a round, smiling eye outside the crack of the door, staring at me.

I immediately screamed and sat on the ground. When I looked again, the big eye was gone.

Oh my God, what the hell is this?

Yin Xinyue was awakened by my voice and asked me quickly what happened? I told her to stop talking, then gritted my teeth and kicked open the door.

When I saw a golden boy's paper hanging on the camera at the door, I was relieved.

It turns out that the eyes I saw just now were exactly the eyes of this golden boy!

Although this is an antique street, there are still many messy shops, such as the paper shop in the west end. They have a lot of paper-making supplies that they don’t take back at night.

It was probably very windy tonight, so the paper bundles were blown over...

I comforted Yin Xinyue and said it was a false alarm, and then prepared to close the door.

However, suddenly I felt something was wrong.

Because in the distance, there was a pile of paper bundles, about seven or eight golden boys and girls, blown by the wind, rubbing against the ground, making a hissing sound, and floating towards me.

They don't look like they were blown by the wind.

Because if it is moved by the wind, it will definitely somersault along the way. But these paper bundles have always maintained a certain formation, one after the other, as if someone is holding them!

Then all those paper bundles were lying in front of my store.

"Bad luck!" I cursed and was about to throw away the paper bundles when I heard a scream coming from my antique shop.

It was clearly a woman's scream. It was so sudden that it made my heart tighten and I almost fell down. Yin Xinyue helped me and asked me quickly what was wrong?

I asked tremblingly: "Did you hear anything just now?"

Yin Xinyue shook her head: "Besides the sound of wind, there seems to be nothing else."

After he finished speaking, he looked at me inexplicably.

But her expression quickly changed, her mouth opened, and she pointed behind me in shock.
