I brought the former general forward a few steps, and when I looked back, I realized that the foster-grandpa was not following me.
But he stood up, and at last I saw that he had a chain around his ankle, and that it was tied to the table, and that he could not move at all.
The former general smiled at me and said, "After you get the fan, you can take him away. My word is worth a thousand gold."
I scratched my head and said, "Can you release the chains first? Now that I'm old, I don't need to be humiliated like this, right? "
The former general smiled and said, "Release him."
Someone in the darkness answered and came out.
My heart skipped a beat. "There's someone else here?" "I didn't notice anything just now?"
Two people emerged from the shadows. One is A Chang, the other one is someone I don't know, probably the former general's accomplice.
The two of them squatted down and removed the iron chains from foster-grandpa's body. Then, they stood beside foster-grandpa as if to prevent him from escaping.
The former general said to me, "Feeling at ease? "Quick, take me there."
I led the former general through the third floor, and those who were neither alive nor dead avoided him when they saw him.
The former general looked at them with disdain before letting out a sneer.
When we walked out from the third floor, I immediately saw Grandpa Gu. He was still waiting there.
When the former general saw Grandpa Gu, his eyes also lit up. This time, I don't need to lead the way. He walked over with large strides and caught Grandpa Gu in his hand.
Grandpa Gu was tall and thin, but he was old. The former general had a tall stature and a fierce, imposing manner. This time, he held Grandpa Gu in his hand like an eagle holding a chicken.
The former general said sternly, "You still dare to come back?"
Grandpa Gu trembled and said, "Well, it's not hard to borrow it. I'll return the fan. "
The former general laughed out loud, "How dare you? I am holding you in my hand and you still dare to make jokes?"
Grandpa Gu had an apologetic smile on his face. I saw cold sweat dripping down from his head.
Right now, Grandpa Gu's face is full of fear, he doesn't seem to have any confidence. I'm a bit worried, does he really not know what to do?
"Where's the fan?" the former general asked.
Grandpa Gu said, "I've placed it in a place that only I know of. "If you promise not to kill me, I'll give it to you."
Then, Grandpa Gu took out the Heart Devouring Ghost Box. It was probably given to him by the Mr. Zhao.
He held it up to the former general. "Swear that."
The former general took the Heart Devouring Demon Box and said angrily, "This box was also stolen from me."
I covered my eyes and thought, Grandpa Gu, aren't you being too bold?
Grandpa Gu avoided the issue and asked timidly, "Then, what about you, old man? Do you swear?"
The former general put away the box and held one of Grandpa Gu's fingers. With a "kacha" sound, he broke it.
Grandpa Gu screamed, causing the soil on top of his head to rustle and fall. The nearby ghosts all looked at him with trepidation.
The former general asked again, "Where's the fan?"
Grandpa Gu sucked in a breath of cold air and said, "After you swear your oath, I …"
Ka, the former general broke another finger.
Grandpa Gu's scream became louder.
The former general asked, "Where's the fan?"
Grandpa Gu said, "Swear it."
As a result, his finger broke once again.
Watching from the side made me feel pain.
When he got to the fifth finger, Grandpa Gu couldn't take it anymore. He said, "I'll give it, I'll give it, I'll give you the fan."
I sighed and thought: Why don't you take the fan out earlier? At least he wouldn't have to suffer the physical pain from his hands anymore.
Clearly, the former general thought the same.
Grandpa Gu used his only intact hand to dig around. He took out a fan and gave it to the former general.
I was stunned for a moment, thinking: Didn't Grandpa Gu merge the fan into his body? Why did he still have more?
The former general flipped open the fan. At this moment, I felt death. I looked around in fear, then I noticed that a clear shadow appeared at Grandpa Gu's feet. The people behind him looked more like living people, and the ones who died looked like dead people.
The yin and yang in this area were chaotic to begin with. After opening the fan, it became even more chaotic.
The former general nodded his head in satisfaction and put the fan away.
I suddenly understood that this fan was actually fake.
Before we came here, we proposed to Grandpa Gu that we could make a fake fan. Grandpa Gu also said that a dead baby's body could be used to make a fan, but this fan could only last for a few hours.
I heaved a sigh of relief in my heart. In the end, Grandpa Gu still kept his trump card. Give the fake fan to the former general, and we should be able to get away with it.
The former general turned and walked towards me, and I said with a dry smile, "Can you erase that curse for me?"
The former general smiled at me. He was clearly a dignified military man, yet he had to be amiable in order to learn, but he also learned in a way that was out of the ordinary. I always felt like he was hiding a knife behind his smile.
The former general took out the Heart Devourer box and shoved it into my arms.
I curiously asked, "Do I need to use the Heart Devouring Demon Box to remove the curse?"
The former general said, "Of course. I need you to take your heart out and put it in the Heart Devouring Demon Box. "
I looked at him warily. "And then?"
The former general said, "Then swear again that you will remain here of your own free will, forever and ever my accomplice."
I wanted to throw it away, but I resisted. To be angry at this moment was equivalent to courting death.
I laughed dryly and said to the former general, "Can't you lift the curse and give me freedom?"
The former general coldly said, "No."
I asked again, "Where's Hu Mancang?"
The former general said, "He can't go either. He will stay here until Hu Chujiu comes over. "
I was a little flustered. "So, what you promised me doesn't count?"
The former general said coldly: "You don't know how to do this, do you? If everyone keeps their word, why would they need this Heart Devouring Ghost Box? "
I looked at the former general in despair. "I don't swear!"
The former general said, "If you don't swear, you can. Just wait for the curse to break out."
Then, he grabbed Grandpa Gu and walked towards the coffin in big strides.
Grandpa Gu acted as if he was scared and shouted along the way, "What are you doing? What are you doing?"
The former general said, "Is it enough to steal my things and return them? You haven't been punished yet. Rest assured, I will make you beg for death. "
Grandpa Gu mournfully shouted, "You with the surname Zhao, are you still not coming out?"
At this time, the Mr. Zhao ran out from the little ghosts. He smiled and said, "I'm here, I'm here."
The former general squinted his eyes and asked Mr. Zhao: "Who are you?"
Mr. Zhao said humbly: "I am a photographer."
The former general looked dazed. He didn't seem to know what a photographer was.
Mr. Zhao took out his phone, opened a video and said: "Elder, you can take a look at this. This is my work, please advise."
I was in a very bad mood, but I couldn't help but glance at his cell phone.
In the video, there was what seemed to be a piece of yellow paper. On the piece of yellow paper, there were some words written in calligraphy. It was a little difficult for me to read the traditional characters, but after reading a few lines I had a rough idea. This seemed to be a piece of paper, accusing some people of committing crimes … Wait, something didn't seem right. He seemed to be complaining that some souls had already passed their lifespan, yet they were lingering in the human world.
Next, someone picked up the yellow paper, placed it on top of a candle, and set it on the side to burn.
The one burning the yellow paper was Mr. Zhao, he was kneeling on the ground and muttering some words.
The yellow paper was quickly burnt to ashes and disappeared into the wind.
The video stopped abruptly as Mr. Zhao put his phone away. He smiled as before and said to the previous general, "I have clearly written down the address on the yellow paper. According to the rules, after the yellow paper is burnt, Nagzul will arrive within an hour. I don't know how long you've been dead, but I'm sure you should have gone to the Underworld long ago. "
The former general looked at Mr. Zhao in disdain: "You plan to use this Nagzul to scare me? No one knew if that kind of thing existed. The so-called underworld is just a legend. "
The Mr. Zhao said, "Is the Underworld just a legend? Then why is this tomb imitating the Underworld everywhere? If you really do not believe in the Nagzul, why did you keep holding onto that fan? "
As he spoke, the mausoleum owner took the fan from his body and opened it, covering his chest.
He coldly laughed as he said to Mr. Zhao, "So what if you notify netherworld? I have this fan that can confuse Yin and Yang, they can't catch me. "
The Mr. Zhao said, "Is that so? But I am not sure if using a fake fan can fool netherworld. "
When the former general heard this, his expression immediately changed. He took the fan and looked at it over and over. Then he pointed to a scar the size of a copper coin and said, "Is this a corpse spot?"
Grandpa Gu was a bit proud: "Yes, it's a corpse spot. I got it from the mortuary of the First People's Hospital in Cypress City. "Hmm …" The corpse is not very fresh anymore. "
The former general flew into a rage, holding his fan and thrusting it towards Grandpa Gu's head.
I can guarantee that if Grandpa Gu is hit by this, his head will definitely have a hole pierced in it.
This time, Grandpa Gu was no longer terrified. He looked at the former general calmly and didn't even try to dodge.
The former general's fan did not go down. He coldly asked Grandpa Gu, "Where is that fan?"
Grandpa Gu pointed at the Heart Devouring Ghost Box in my arms. "Do you promise?"
The former general grabbed Grandpa Gu's collar, "You don't want your hand anymore?"
Grandpa Gu closed his eyes and said, "You won't let me off even if I tell you the whereabouts of the fan. I might as well endure it. When the Nagzul comes, we'll die together. "
The former general's eyes widened as he clenched his teeth. He suddenly turned his head and shouted at me, "Hand over the Heart Devouring Ghost Box."
The sound was so loud that the soil on top of his head rustled and fell.
