Merchant of the Underworld

Mr. Liu is his nickname in the film industry, so it’s appropriate for me to call him that.

He glanced at me. There was no surprise on his face, but he nodded lightly and said, "Coming?"

He had a grape trellis set up in his yard, and I picked out a large bunch of purple grapes that were already ripe. He jumped up and snatched them from my hands, so fast that I was stunned.

When I was in a daze, he put the grapes into the bucket and soaked them for a while before handing them to me: "There is a lot of smog in Beijing, so you need to wash them before eating."

"hehe."

I nodded in agreement, and then ate the grapes without saying a word. When he saw this, his face showed a look of excitement, and he actually started eating after me.

It wasn't until he finished eating the grapes and spit out the last seed that he showed a smile and asked, "What's going on? Are you going to kidnap me and bring me to justice?"

"Look what you said, Mr. Liu."

I clasped my hands in my fists, bowed as he liked, and then imitated his tone and said calmly that your movie is good, and the story you tell is of course not bad. Tell me the story of the black shadow.

"He doesn't have anything to say, but you are a bit of a jerk."

Mr. Liu pointed at me and said with a smile, showing his yellow teeth. Then he went back to the house and took out a palm-sized red gourd, and threw it to me all the way.

Then he told me that it turned out to be a small gourd he accidentally dug out of the desert when he was filming in Gansu in his early years. I thought it was a treasure, but when I opened it after I returned, a devil wearing the uniform of a Tang Dynasty prison officer, holding a hook in one hand and a chain in the other, appeared inside.

The devil came up with an iron hook and wanted to hook his tongue. Fortunately, they were filming a drama about the Tang Dynasty at the time. Mr. Liu suddenly pulled out a set of emperor's clothes and put them on, and then forced the black shadow back into the red gourd.

Mr. Liu lived an upright life, so he was not too afraid of the devil. Instead, he kept looking for opportunities to communicate with him, and finally learned that the black shadow was Lai Junchen, a famous figure during the Wu Zetian period of the Tang Dynasty.

It is said that during Wu Zetian's time, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were not very convinced of the female emperor.

They felt that the country of Tang Dynasty should be controlled by the Li family. How could it be handed over to a female? Therefore, whether in public or in private, Wu Zetian was criticized and ridiculed, and even the eighteenth generation of Wu Zetian's ancestors scolded her.

Wu Zetian initially faced these "trolls" with a benevolent attitude. Since you look down on me, I will make some political achievements for you to see! So Wu Zetian conquered the Turks in the north, rewarded farmers and mulberry trees, reformed the officialdom, and renovated the aging Tang Dynasty.

However, even so, those ministers were still dissatisfied, and they always picked on Wu Zetian's faults no matter what. Write letters every day, cry and worship at the ancestral temple every day, begging Li Shimin to show his spirit and kill this female evildoer with a thunderbolt as soon as possible...

Wu Zetian couldn't sit still anymore, so she resorted to iron-blooded methods to suppress these trolls crazily. It was at this time that Lai Junchen stepped onto the stage of history!

As a close confidant of Wu Zetian, Lai Junchen was very aware of the empress's troubles. Who would want to have a black ear and a fever all day long?

So Lai Junchen immediately arrested those ministers and created 108 kinds of torture, such as cooking the prisoners in a big pot, and peeling off the prisoners' skins to make lanterns. It is said that as long as a person is sent to prison, only one person in a hundred people can come home alive.

Now the group of trolls finally stopped, they no longer dared to say anything, and Wu Zetian could finally sit back and relax.

After research, modern historians have concluded that tens of thousands of officials were tortured to death by Lai Junchen alone. It was not until Lai Junchen's death that the fourteen-year "white terror" era ended. Lai Junchen Therefore, he is called: the most cruel official in the Tang Dynasty!

There are many stories about Lai Junchen in unofficial history, the most famous of which is that Lai Junchen loved to eat people's tongues.

He believes that those trolls who say bad things every day have tongues that move a lot and are muscular, so whenever they drink alcohol, they must cut off a tongue and dip it in sesame sauce to eat. In the end, he was not satisfied with eating one human tongue a day, so he killed more and more people...

At the time, I thought this was just a rumor, but after listening to Mr. Liu and thinking about the tongues of the three deceased people being cut out, I realized that Lai Junchen really loved eating human tongues.

While we were chatting, the director's wife came back from shopping. He called to her and said, "Xiao Xu, you go stew some good dishes, and I'll have a few drinks with this little brother."

"No, no, I'll find another chance later."

I shook the red gourd on my hand as I spoke. I thought he must have hidden it from his wife when he did these things.

Sure enough, Mr. Liu gave me a thumbs up: "Brother, you are so kind and righteous!"

"Learned it from Mr. Liu!" I laughed, carried the gourd and walked out the door. After taking two steps, Mr. Liu's unique voice came from behind me: "Don't let it fly away, it's almost done."

At Master Liu's request, I did not disperse Lai Junchen's soul in the end, but in order to teach him a lesson, I used the torture method of inviting him to be put into an urn, which he invented during his lifetime. I filled a large water tank with objects to exorcise evil spirits, and at the same time, I The talismans of Tiangang's seventy-two dharma gates were affixed to the mouth of the jar.

Finally, I aimed the gourd at the entrance of the water tank and opened it. Lai Junchen sneered and got out of it, but he plunged into the condom I had set for him. After struggling for a while, he screamed and was forced to retreat into the gourd.

I seized the opportunity and quickly sealed the gourd, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

Whenever it thinks about it in the future, it will subconsciously think that what is waiting for it outside is this Tiangang Formation that is difficult to break through, and it will definitely be honest.

For the sake of safety, I directly checked the red gourd to the man in the T-shirt and asked him to take it to Lost Way Temple to suppress it.

This matter finally ended successfully. Although it went through several twists and turns, fortunately, it was all near misses, which is considered the best ending.

For Wulin, I can only say that he was lucky, and for the other three deceased, I can only say that he will not die if he does not seek death.

Everyone is working hard, either for themselves, for their families, or for a lifelong dream that is difficult to realize.

We should treat their works with respect. If we blindly smear and criticize them like hooligans, we will only harm others and ourselves in the end.

Internet violence is worthy of our deep thought, and even more worthy of our vigilance.

Just like the famous lyrics: If you love me, please love me deeply, if you don't love me, please leave me!
