Merchant of the Underworld

No matter how small the fly's legs are, they are still a piece of meat.

Although this jade is not valuable, it is better than nothing. Besides, the gold handkerchief can definitely be sold for a lot of money. I don’t want to miss this opportunity, but I don’t know how to ask?

Fortunately, the old lady heard me mention the business of being a femininity merchant, so she patiently said to Zhou Tian: "Son, don't worry about these things. Master Zhang has saved our lives, so these things belong to him!"

"Okay, it just so happens that I don't have to worry anymore..." Zhou Tian spread his hands after hearing this and said very cheerfully.

I smiled and said there was no rush, I would wait until that thing was completely resolved. Afterwards, he packed up the copper suitcase and called everyone back to the old lady's hotel.

In the afternoon, I went to a nearby orchard to purchase a batch of peach branches, and then went to the farmer's market to buy a sharp sickle.

During this period, Zhou Tian had been following me. He asked in confusion: "Master Zhang, I know that peach wood can ward off evil spirits, but what is the use of this sickle?"

"You'll know when the time comes." I gave it up with a smile and didn't explain much.

After returning to the old house, I surrounded the Eight Immortals table with peach branches, and then inserted the remaining peach branches regularly into the cracks of the bricks on the ground to form a path from the table to the gap of the coal fire kang.

"Are you trying to lure that thing here?"

Zhou Tian saw my way, but he was a little confused and said that if you want to lure it, don't block the table, otherwise it will definitely run away, and it will be bad if you can't find it.

"This is the effect we want! These Yin spirits living in Yin objects generally cannot leave Yin objects for too long, otherwise they will be swallowed up by the Yang energy from the outside. Since it can stay outside for such a long time, there must be more Something to hide it in."

I said confidently and made a small calculation in my mind.

Since the yin object this time is a piece of jade from the pre-Qin era, the thing that allowed the yin spirit to stay temporarily last night must not be scrap metal. Maybe there will be an unexpected harvest.

In addition, there is another possibility: someone wanted to harm the old lady and her husband and deliberately let them dig up this negative thing. But now the Yin spirit inside does not dare to fight with me, so it has returned to its master.

The latter possibility is something I don't want to see, but when things get to this point, I can't help it. I can only bite the bullet and keep going.

"How can I help?" Zhou Tian asked.

It was obvious that he wanted to do something for me, but I really had no need for him, so I asked him to stay in the hotel with his mother and daughter-in-law.

To me, they are already helping by not causing trouble.

The night gradually deepened and the temperature dropped. I hid in the corner of the old house with my sickle in hand and carefully observed the coal fire pit.

To be honest, facing such a ghost, I am confident enough to protect myself, but not very confident to subdue it.

Therefore, we can only retreat in order to advance. First destroy the place where it hides, forcing it to have nowhere to go, and then negotiate with it. The chance of winning will be greater.

Waiting is the most tedious thing. The closer it gets to twelve o'clock, the more nervous I feel. After some thought, I take out the compass and put it next to me.

This way the needle on the compass would make a slight sound even if I didn't notice any movement.

I don’t know how long it took, but suddenly there was a rustling sound coming from the entrance of the cave. I suddenly became energetic, held the sickle and stared at it, thinking that we are finally here!

But the sound disappeared not long after it sounded, and the cave entrance returned to calm. During this process, the compass did not respond at all.

"How is this going?"

I frowned and muttered, stood up and prepared to get closer to observe.

As a result, Zhou Tian's painful cry suddenly came from the front yard: "Help!"

It seems that the Yin spirit discovered my arrangement in the backyard, so it went directly to the front yard to find Zhou Tian. My heart sank, I put down the sickle and ran towards the front yard.

The sound just now came from the first floor, but when I arrived on the first floor of the hotel, I found that it was empty, not even a human figure.

I was stunned for a moment, then turned around and ran upstairs. At this time, there was a thumping sound coming downstairs from the corridor.

Soon I saw Zhou Tian running down with an anxious face. When he saw me, he first let out a sigh of relief, then gasped and asked: "Master, who was asking for help just now? Why does his voice sound exactly like mine."

"No, I fell into a trap!"

I reacted instantly and hurried back to the old house to take a look. I found that the copper box on the Eight Immortals table had disappeared!

But my peach branch array is still well preserved, and even the positions of these peach branches have not been moved. This shows that it is not the Yin spirit that takes away the Yin objects, but a living person.

The Peach Wood Array will not take effect unless a living person comes to take it. It seems that my idea is correct. There is really someone else behind the evil things.

In addition, I also noticed a problem: this femininity seems to be specifically targeting Zhou Tian, ​​but it does not actively provoke others.

Could it be that this boy Zhou Tian has done something outrageous?

Thinking of this, I looked at Zhou Tian inexplicably. He waved his hand anxiously and said, "Master, what are you looking at me doing? What should I do now?"

When he asked me this question, I immediately came to my senses, hurriedly took out a few magic talismans and handed them to Zhou Tian, ​​asking him to stay in the hotel to protect the old lady, and then I chased after him along the entrance of the cave.

Behind the old house was a small alley full of debris, and it was already late at night. After I chased it out, I looked both ways and didn't find any movement.

In desperation, he had to let Xiaolin out and let him judge the direction based on the smell of the box. Fortunately, it had a fight with the red mist yesterday and quickly determined the direction of the box's departure.

"Big brother, sit down and I'll lead you after him!"

"It depends on the situation. Come back first."

After I finished speaking, I put Xiaolin back into the paper crane, and then chased in the direction pointed by it with all my strength.

Although I would be able to catch up quickly if I let Xiaolin lead me in pursuit, the fact that that person was able to steal the vaginal objects right under my nose showed off his strength.

If the man gets angry and attacks Xiaolin after catching up, Xiaolin will definitely be in trouble, so I don't want the mastermind behind the scenes to see Xiaolin unless I have to.

Fortunately, the nearby area is a development zone, and after exiting the small alley, there is an endless construction site.

Everywhere you looked there were iron fences surrounded by steel bars, and there was not even a single person on the road. This made it a lot easier for me. After chasing for more than half an hour, I finally found a hunched figure walking forward slowly. It looked like an old man.

The presence of an old man here in the middle of the night was suspicious. Since he was moving very slowly, I simply walked around to the iron fence and followed him leisurely.

As the distance between me and him continued to shrink, I gradually saw clearly what was in his arms. It was the copper box!

I subconsciously took off the umbrella from behind and prepared to rush forward. Unexpectedly, he seemed to feel something and stopped suddenly. He turned his head and looked around furtively.

There happened to be a billboard next to me. Before the old man looked over, I quickly hid behind the billboard.

However, the old man just stared at where I was standing before and sneered. My scalp was numb, thinking that I had been discovered?

At this moment, a familiar cry suddenly came from my back. I subconsciously turned around and saw a red mist coming toward my chest.

"Damn, do it again!"

I cursed loudly and quickly moved my body to the side to avoid the Yin spirit's attack. Then he quickly stepped out of Tiangang's footwork, picked up his yin-yang umbrella and hit the black mist.

The old man must have discovered me, so he sent ghosts to haunt me so that he could escape. I knew that the crux of the problem lay with the old man, who was eager to get rid of the Yin spirit's attack, so I used all my strength, and the black and white Yin and Yang umbrella directly penetrated the red mist.

I seized the opportunity, opened the umbrella fiercely, and then quickly rotated. The complete red mist was instantly divided into countless small pieces, and dissipated in the air in the blink of an eye.

Only then did I feel that something was wrong. When I used the Sirius Whip to greet the black mist yesterday, the Yin spirit would be immediately beaten back to its original shape, screaming and turning back into a ghost without legs.

But now I use a yin-yang umbrella to deal with it, but it doesn't make any sound from the beginning to the end. You must know that the yin-yang umbrella is much more powerful than the Sirius Whip!

Before I could figure out what was going on, I suddenly felt severe pain in the sole of my foot. Then I couldn't stand and fell to the ground.

At the same time, I found the Yin spirit lying on the ground and sneering at me. Only then did I realize that the red mist just now was a deliberate deceit created by it.

Before I could get up, the Yin Spirit flew out of the ground with a whoosh, holding a hammer and a chisel in two hands and viciously hit my head.

If it was hit by this, my head would definitely turn into a rotten watermelon. I broke out in a cold sweat. I gritted my teeth and rolled to the side twice to avoid the fatal blow. Then I put the umbrella away and pointed it towards its chest. The position was thrown over!

The Yin spirit didn't expect me to react so quickly. After a slight hesitation, it was hit by the Yin and Yang umbrella. A dazzling fire appeared directly from its chest, and then it let out a heart-rending scream and turned into a ball of red mist. Chase in the direction of the old man.

After it completely left, I picked up the umbrella with difficulty and looked forward. Where was the shadow of the old man?

Besides, my legs were injured, so I wouldn't be able to gain much advantage by catching up. I had no choice but to endure the pain and slowly walked towards the old lady's hotel.

Not long after I left, I saw Zhou Tian. I couldn't help but become cautious, pointed at him with my parasol and asked, "Who are you!"

"Master Zhang, I am Zhou Tian. My mother was afraid that it would be dangerous for you to chase that thing alone, so she asked me to come over and help you. Fortunately, there is a camera at the door, otherwise I really wouldn't be able to find you."

Zhou Tian suddenly stopped while he was talking, looked at my twitching legs with his mouth wide open, and asked in a panic: "Master Zhang, what's wrong with you?"
