Merchant of the Underworld

Maybe my impression of Alai was so bad that I dreamed of myself slapping his big mouth while I was sleeping.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she got up the next day, she received a call from Yulia. She said that while she was having a good time with Alai, she took the counterfeit goods she had prepared and put his dice in a package, and asked us now Where?

"Mazi, get up and work."

I quickly told her the address, hung up the phone and kicked Li Mazi on the butt, waking him up.

"If you hadn't told me good news, I would have beaten you to death."

Li Mazi rubbed his butt and smiled.

The two of us quickly tidied up our personal hygiene, grabbed things we might need, and then went downstairs to wait.

Soon Yulia found us and said hurriedly: "Please hurry up and observe. I will send it back later, otherwise my brother-in-law will find out and Laying will suffer again."

It can be seen that she cares about Laying very much, and she does not know that Laying is planning to kill her father. I wonder how Yulia will feel after learning the truth?

I took the dice from her hand and looked at it carefully, and found that it sparkled like obsidian, but it didn't have the natural smoothness of stone. It felt a bit raw to the touch, and when I put it to the tip of my nose and smelled it, my expression changed.

The smell of corpses, this dice is made of dead people's bones, so there must be some evil spirit hidden inside. I asked Li Mazi and Yulia to wait downstairs. I went back to the room, turned off the lights, closed the curtains, and drew a portrait of Zhu Yuanzhang on the ground with cinnabar.

As the most powerful emperor against corruption, Zhu Yuanzhang strictly prohibited gambling during his lifetime. At that time, tens of thousands of gamblers were skinned by Jin Yiwei.

No matter who the ghost in the dice was during his lifetime, he would definitely be shocked by Zhu Yuanzhang's own imperial power and his iron-fisted approach to gamblers!

After finishing the painting of Zhu Yuanzhang, I placed the dice on the portrait, lit a candle, and then sat cross-legged and silently recited the spirit-inducing mantra.

The soul-drawing spell, also known as the soul-drawing technique, refers to the use of spells and birth dates to draw out the soul of the deceased, which is similar to ordinary soul summoning.

This dice is very noisy. I think the Yin spirit inside has two brushes, so even though I don't know the Yin spirit's horoscope, I can still call it out.

After several spells, the steady candlelight suddenly started to sway. I slowly opened my eyes and saw a black mist slowly rising from the dice, and finally turned into a burly figure standing opposite me.

It looked at me confusedly, its face gradually turned ferocious, and I deliberately cast a provocative look at it.

Yin Ling was indeed fooled and rushed towards me with a sneer.

At this time, the portrait of Zhu Yuanzhang on the ground instantly emitted a purple light. Then Zhu Yuanzhang walked out of the portrait and expanded it infinitely. He glared at Yin Ling and shouted: "Bold thief, I have repeatedly ordered not to gamble, why do you still gamble?"

When the other party heard Zhu Yuanzhang's voice, his movements froze, then he trembled all over, turned into a black smoke and slipped out along the crack of the door.

My original intention was to kill it directly with Zhu Yuanzhang's portrait, but when I saw this scene, I suddenly changed my mind. Then Xiao Weiyu was sent out and asked her to follow the Yin spirit's Yin energy.

I won't kill an unknown person with my sword. Even if I want to kill it, I have to find out its identity first!

Then I went downstairs and returned the dice to Yulia: "I have driven out the evil spirits inside. Alai will definitely not go crazy again, but it will take some time to return to his original state."

"You go back and take care of him first. The Yin Spirit will come to help you after I deal with it."

"Thank you so much."

Yulia said overjoyed, held my arm and thanked me for a long time, and then hurried home.

Li Mazi asked me if I had seen Yin Ling's identity. I shook my head and said if I knew his identity, would it be necessary to let him run away?

"Right."

He nodded with deep understanding.

Then the two of us went upstairs to pack up the guy and wait. Originally, I thought it was scared away by Zhu Yuanzhang and would not dare to come out in a short time. Unexpectedly, less than half an hour later, Oyu called me and said that a ghost had sneaked into a casino, possessed a gambler and continued to gamble.

"He is really a gambling addict..."

I sighed, picked up my things, went downstairs, and rushed to the casino.

I forced this evil spirit out of the dice, and now it was directly attached to a young man, so I saw it at a glance.

But this guy's mind was all on the gambling table, and he didn't realize that I was the one who just dealt with it!

Under the influence of the Yin Spirit, the young man shuffled the cards with flying hands. A group of people gathered around the gambling table, and they whispered to each other. It happened that the foreigner named Dashan was also there, so I walked over and asked him what he was talking about.

"This young man has been losing before. He just went out for a trip and came back and won everything. Every time he got the biggest card. His luck is incredible! It's almost the same as Alai's previous state..."

Dashan suddenly reacted as he spoke, looked at me with wide eyes, and asked in a low voice: "He also has a problem?"

I nodded, but didn't say much to Dashan.

Dashan seemed to be very afraid of this kind of thing, so he didn't ask any more questions. He chatted with me for a few words and then found an excuse to leave.

The gambling game was still going on, and I noticed that every time the young man was about to flip the cards, the ghost on his back would blow on the cards. It was probably the same trick it used when controlling Alai before.

I noticed that every time it blew on the cards, the people watching would shrink back. I walked forward, and when it blew again, I suddenly felt a strong pressure!

Since it can no longer hide its Yin Qi without the dice, it means that its strength is limited. I was just thinking about how to take action, but suddenly I heard someone whispering from the side: "Is it possible that the second brother Feng Buddha's amulet has an effect?"

"Probably." Another person replied cautiously.

I looked back and found that the faces of the two people speaking were full of longing, just like the unusual piety that we Taoist disciples have when we meet our ancestor.

It seems that the second brother Feng Buddha Amulet has an unusual status in the eyes of Thai gamblers. I quickly pulled the two of them to the corner and asked the second brother what the Feng Buddha Amulet was.

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, their eyes widened suddenly and they touched my head as if I was crazy. One of them frowned and said: "Even my second brother Feng doesn't know what you are betting on, just wait until you lose!"

After saying that, the two people stopped talking to me and returned to the gaming table to continue watching.

I was asking for trouble and felt a little depressed. I looked around and saw that most of the gamblers next to me spoke Thai. In desperation, I had to take out my mobile phone and tentatively search online.

To be honest, I didn't have much hope, because I am already knowledgeable enough, but I have never heard of Er Ge Feng, and I guess he was not very famous during his lifetime. Unexpectedly, as soon as I searched the Internet, a lot of information about Er Ge Feng popped up.

Only then did I realize that I was blind and couldn’t see Taishan, so I quickly held my phone to understand.

It turns out that there was indeed a person named Er Ge Feng in history. His real name was Zheng Zhiyong and he was from Chaozhou.

When he was a teenager, his family was too poor to eat. Later, he was appreciated by the ship owner and took him to Bangkok to make a living.

A few years later, after China's last Taiping Army was wiped out by the Qing government, the remnants fled to Bangkok by boat. Zheng Zhiyong already had a certain amount of savings, so he generously spent money to support these traitors.

Later, the thieves formed a society under the leadership of their eldest brother, Mang. As a branch of Hongmen who dominated Bangkok, Zheng Zhiyong naturally became the second eldest brother of the society!

A few years later, the eldest brother Mang passed away, and everyone elected Zheng Zhiyong to be the boss. Although he took over as the boss, he refused to allow others to call him eldest brother, as a way to show respect for the deceased eldest brother Mang.

From then on, Zheng Zhiyong was called the second brother Feng.

Later, he set up casinos in Bangkok and used the income from the casinos to pay a lot of taxes to the Thai and Qing governments every year. The Qing government was so happy that it specially rewarded its second brother Feng with an official robe to show off.

Therefore, the image on the second brother Feng Buddha tablet often appears in the official uniform of the Qing Dynasty.

The reason why the Second Brother Feng Buddha amulet became popular was because of an overseas Chinese named Brother Mao.

Brother Mao has a hot temper and often fights against injustice. For this reason, he often goes to the police station. Once he committed a serious crime, and according to common sense he would have to go to jail for at least ten years. Only then did he regret it.

However, after entering prison, he would dream of an old man wearing official uniform every night. Brother Mao seemed bored, so he communicated with the old man in his dream, saying that he ended up like this because he was trying to save talents, and hoped that his family would still be there after he was released from prison.

Unexpectedly, Brother Mao was released without charge in just a few days. After he came out, he accidentally passed by a ruined temple. When he saw the statue enshrined in the temple, he was stunned: This sculpture was the old man who always appeared in his dreams a few days ago!

Only then did Brother Mao realize that it was this old man who saved him. After asking around, he found out that the old man was the second brother Feng, the famous gambling god back then.

Brother Mao finally helped his second brother Feng to repair the temple and made the first batch of second brother Feng's Buddha tablets as tokens for believers who came to offer incense.

Later, word of mouth spread, saying that as long as you wear Er Gefeng's amulet, you will definitely win in gambling. This amulet gradually became popular and was sold all over the world.

After reading this, I felt that the life of my second brother Feng was too domineering, so I prepared to open Li Mazi's eyes as well.

Who knew that this kid was also searching for information, and what he learned was even more sinister than what I saw!
