Merchant of the Underworld

When the black shadow reached the intersection, I was hesitating whether to catch up or not.

There was another noise in Zhu Fengchun's room. I turned around and was surprised to find that the candles in the room were lit again, and a dark shadow appeared in the room.

What's going on? Why are there two black shadows?

But soon, I discovered that the dark shadow in the room was an imposter, because there was no trace of yin around him at all. It was obviously Zhu Fengchun who pretended to be a dark shadow on purpose.

I instantly became curious about him, and by accident, I walked up and kicked the door open. At a glance, I saw Zhu Fengchun, who was pretending to be a ghost.

I turned on the light and stared at him fiercely!

It stands to reason that this guy had faked his death before, and now that I suddenly found out, he should be panicking.

But he seemed to have known that I would come for a long time. He looked at me with a smile and said: "If nothing else happens, your two friends are already dead, hahaha..."

"What do you mean?" Seeing Zhu Fengchun's triumphant look, I instantly worried about the safety of Li Mazi and Director Liu.

But then I thought about how the black shadow had just gone out and there was no time to harm them. He immediately shouted at Zhu Fengchun: "Who the hell are you scaring?"

"Haha, when you were digging up Li Tiansheng's coffin yesterday, I secretly brought the ghosts of the other two victims as an audience." Zhu Fengchun said with a smile: "Do you think that your two stupid friends will go to them tonight?" Is there a way to survive if I keep vigil at my grave?"

Hearing Zhu Fengchun's words, I was completely stunned. It turned out that he deliberately performed the scene last night for us. The purpose was to let the three of us dig up the coffin, so that the souls of the other two victims would be released. Mistakenly thinking that it is us who is causing trouble, thus creating resentment from us!

You must know that they are ghosts who died in vain, with strong resentment. If this resentment is coupled with hatred, they will definitely turn into fierce ghosts. Li Mazi and the others will definitely be in trouble.

Thinking of this, I quickly took out my mobile phone to call Li Mazi, but Zhu Fengchun stopped me.

"Fuck you."

I punched him in the face and cursed through gritted teeth.

The situation was already obvious. Zhu Fengchun was indeed colluding with the evil spirit. He was pretending to be just to get me into the house, so that the evil spirit could take the opportunity to escape.

The only thing I don't understand is, where did the Yin spirit go?

But I knew that the first priority was to inform Li Mazi and Director Liu. Who knew that this guy Zhu Fengchun didn't seem to be afraid of pain. He hugged me tightly and wouldn't let me make a phone call.

I don’t know how many punches I gave him, I just felt that my hands were sore, and his face was turned into a pig’s head by me, but he wouldn’t let go, it was like a dog-skin plaster that stuck to me. In the end, I really had no choice but to knock him unconscious, and then quickly called Li Mazi. The call was quickly connected. Li Mazi asked me how the situation was here.

"Li Mazi, listen, all operations tonight are cancelled! You and Director Liu go back to the police station as quickly as possible and wait for me." I said seriously.

"Wait." Li Mazi suddenly said in a low voice, as if he was afraid of being heard by others: "Brother Zhang, I think something is wrong with Director Liu. He just insisted on taking me to the Tongquetai ruins. I asked him why? He Not to mention, do you think Director Liu will..."

Li Mazi's voice was trembling slightly now, and it seemed that he had realized something.

I was silent for a moment and asked him if he was sure? Li Mazi said with a tearful tone: "Sure!"

The second victim in this beheading case, Wang Zhuangzhuang, had his head cut off after taking photos at the Tongquetai ruins.

Director Liu must be possessed by Wang Zhuangzhuang's ghost. Since it wants to get Director Liu and Li Mazi to the Tongquetai ruins, there must be some clues there.

Thinking of this, I swallowed my saliva and pretended to be calm and told Li Mazi: "Then you follow Director Liu, but you must pretend that you don't know anything. I will rush to the Tongquetai ruins now."

"Okay, then hurry up!"

After Li Mazi hung up the phone, I glanced at Zhu Fengchun who had fainted on the ground, and then used map software to search for the location of the Tongquetai ruins. The Tongquetai ruins are located on the north bank of the Zhang River, less than five minutes away from Wang Zhuangzhuang's tomb. The distance is nearly 20 kilometers away from me!

What's more, they drove there. Even if the road was inconvenient, it was only fifteen minutes away at most, and I didn't have enough time. In desperation, I found a pile of unused candles and sandalwood in the drawer of Zhu Fengchun's house, and I suddenly had an idea.

I opened all the doors and windows, lit incense candles on the ground, bit off my fingers and drew a simple Bagua pattern around the candles! After that, he tied his feet with blood-stained red cloth, then closed his eyes and began to recite the spiritual mantra.

This is a spell my grandfather taught me. I can use blood as a guide, and cooperate with Qimen Dunjia to control nearby lonely ghosts in a short period of time, allowing them to lead me to where I want to go.

In "Water Margin", Dai Zong, the magical Taibao, was able to travel five hundred miles a day because he used this kind of magic.

It's just that this spell is very counterproductive. If the caster is not skilled enough, he may be injured or even killed by the ghosts invited, so I have never used it. The situation is extremely urgent right now, so I have no choice but to use this trick!

As the incantation was finished, the air around me quickly flowed around, and my location instantly turned into a vacuum. Then a dark wind rushed into the yard from the outside, and then hit me blankly.

All this happened in the blink of an eye. Before I even reacted, I felt that my feet became extremely light, and then my whole body ran forward uncontrollably.

While I was running, I couldn't help but open my eyes and found that everything in front of me was moving back quickly. After I adapted to the rhythm, I no longer worried, but instead I was a little curious about what kind of spirit I had invited?

With the idea of ​​giving it a try, I suddenly lowered my head, and at a glance I saw a red shadow flying forward under me, carrying me on its back.

As if it could feel me looking at it, the red figure turned to look at me.

I suddenly saw a face covered with maggots, the nose turned up high; the eyes were one big and one small, the big one shining with green light, protruding like a ball. Although the small one was a human eye, blood was oozing out.

The ghost just looked at me with two eyes and smiled at me. I resisted the urge to vomit, gritted my teeth and nodded at it, then closed my eyes and didn't dare to look around again.

After five minutes, I suddenly felt my body sink, and then my feet stopped.

When he opened his eyes, he realized that the ghost he invited had disappeared, and the blood on the cloth strip at his ankle had been sucked clean.

It seems that this is a good ghost that just enjoyed the incense and blood I provided and has no intention of harming me.

I didn't pay much attention to it, turned around and looked around, and soon found a huge high platform standing in front of me!

This high platform is extremely majestic and magnificent, with the famous Zhang River below it.

It is said that Cao Cao once collected beauties from all over the world and kept them in the Tongque Terrace. He also liked to gather a group of literati to drink and compose poems on the Tongque Terrace. There is an ancient poem that also says: The east wind does not have its way with Zhou Lang, and the Tongque spring is locked in two Joe.

Although the Tongque Tower in front of me was rebuilt by later generations, and the water in the Zhang River was frozen, I still felt Cao Cao's generosity back then.

I looked around, but I didn't see the light of the car lights yet. It seemed that Director Liu and Li Mazi would have to wait a while, so I got up and ran across the ice of the Zhang River, preparing to board the Tongque Terrace.

But when I was about to go on stage, a sigh suddenly came from the top of the Tongque Tower.

That rich voice kept echoing in the night sky. Even though it was just a sigh, I felt endless sorrow and indignation from it.

Before I could move, another angry voice came from the top of the stage: "How can I, Cao Cao, be a traitor? Without me, Cao Cao, to support the great man, how many people in the world would be emperors and kings? Why doesn't anyone understand me?"

After saying that, the voice roared wildly.

After hearing this, I was shocked. It turned out that the person on the Tongque Tower was not a living person at all, but the most controversial historical figure in the Three Kingdoms period: Emperor Wu of Wei Cao Cao!

Thinking that several victims were killed near Tongque Terrace, I suddenly realized that the evil spirit causing trouble this time should be Cao Cao.

No wonder this Yin spirit looks so dark. Cao Cao in history was famous for his dark appearance.

I carefully recalled that this ghost always had a knife in its hand when killing people, and its characteristic of running away in fear when encountering a mirror. My thoughts widened in an instant, and I was sure that this Yin spirit was Cao Cao.

What the Yin spirit is carrying must be the Seven-Star Sword. According to legend, the Seven-Star Sword is forged from the black iron leftover from the making of Gan Jiang Mo Xie's two swords. It is a sword that can cut iron like clay.

When Cao Cao assassinated Dong Zhuo, he used the Seven-Star Sword. When he walked to the bed, Dong Zhuo saw Cao Cao drawing the knife in the mirror. Cao Cao had no choice but to get an idea and tell him to offer a sword to Dong Zhuo, and then fled for his life in a hurry.

That moment left Cao Cao with an unforgettable fear, which is why his Yin spirit was so afraid of mirrors. As for the fact that he can only cut off people's heads while they are sleeping, I am afraid it is related to the allusion of killing people in Cao Mengde's dream.

It is said that after Cao Cao became prime minister, in order to prevent assassins from killing him, he deliberately made up lies and said that he was uneasy when sleeping and would kill someone if anyone came near. He also deliberately killed a young eunuch who was covering him up in the middle of the night. From then on, assassins in the world no longer dared to attack Cao Cao!

After thinking about all this, I felt much more relaxed.

Cao Cao cannot be called a good person, but he is definitely an upright hero. I don’t think his ghost will come out to harm people for no reason. It’s probably because those people who died did something bad.

When Cao Cao was alive, he would rather teach me to betray the world than let the world betray me, so it is not difficult to understand why he chased us to the police station to kill us.

When someone was alive, he held the emperor hostage to command the princes and controlled the country for half his life. How could he be afraid of the imperial aura of the police station?

After clearing my mind, I planned to go up and meet with Cao Cao, ask him clearly about his obsession, and then do my best to help him solve it.

After all, Cao Cao has always been a great hero in my mind, and I don't want him to end up in a state of despair!
