I was a little angry. Was he messing with us? His father is already dead, what else do we have to say?
Who knew that Mr. Zhao would nod his head and say to the old man, "Thank you."
The old man nodded and went out to sit. Before he left, he even very considerately closed the door for us.
Mr. Zhao dragged a chair over and said to me: "It's still early, half-moon god Ma hasn't come back yet, let's wait."
I sat in a chair and asked, "What's going on here?" Who was the murderer? Was it Half Martial Immortal Ma's father? "
Mr. Zhao nodded.
As we sat here, it was rather boring. Mr. Zhao and Xia Xin told each other about the matter of Half-Immortal Horse.
It turned out that the store was built from generation to generation. Because the owner's surname was Ma, no matter who the owner was, they would all be called Half Immortal Ma.
Half Immortal Ma's fortune telling was quite accurate. He said that if there was a disaster that day, there would be a disaster that day. He said that if you had luck with the peach blossoms, you would have luck with the peach blossoms.
However, the reason why Half-Immortal Ma's fortune telling was so amazing was not because he was proficient in logic, but because his Ma Clan had a very special place.
After the death of the old Half Immortal, he wouldn't be reincarnated immediately, but had to be pawned inside the shop. His soul wanted to protect his son, who had just inherited the store.
When someone came to calculate, the old deity would give some pointers. As he was a soul, he could easily get information about the customers, and even the private conversations between husband and wife could be heard. Thus, minor hemiptera's divination was still very accurate.
As for when there is disaster and when there is joy, you can speak freely. At that time, when the old Half Immortal appeared, he could secretly use some tricks to fulfill the prophecy.
When the minor hemiptera also died, the Old Half Immortal would go and reincarnate. At that time, he would worship the tablet of the minor hemiptera inside the shop to protect the next generation.
The people of the world didn't know that Ma QiDun operated like this, and even thought that his family had some special ability that was passed down from generation to generation, and was passed down like a god.
And the murderer that we are going to meet today is the already dead Half-Immortal Horse. As for the old man outside, although he is very old, as long as his father hasn't reincarnated, we can secretly call him minor hemiptera.
We were talking when we heard a jingle outside the door and the bell hanging from the glass door chime.
Then, I heard minor hemiptera's aged voice. "Old Gramps, you're back?"
I immediately pricked up my ears, but there was no response. Suddenly, the curtain was lifted, and a cold wind blew in, making the candles on the altar table dark.
I looked at Mr. Zhao and asked softly, "You're here?"
The Mr. Zhao nodded and asked the spirit tablet, "Has the person who bought the heart appeared yet?"
The Inside the house was quiet, no one replied to his words. I was wondering, when I heard an old voice behind me say, "Not yet. It's still early. "
I turned my head and saw that it was minor hemiptera.
minor hemiptera seemed to have noticed my surprised gaze. He chuckled and said, "My father and I share a mutual understanding. Actually, this is our family's talent. Ordinary people cannot see the ghosts of their loved ones, but we can. "
I nodded.
minor hemiptera said, "Everyone, I suggest that you all take a break. Even if it's time, you all shouldn't come out rashly, it's best to hide yourselves and find a suitable opportunity to catch the other party. Don't alert them just yet."
Mr. Zhao asked minor hemiptera, "When is the other party arriving?"
minor hemiptera closed her eyes and chanted in a low voice in the air for a long time. Then, she turned around and said to us, "I'm afraid it will be 2 or 3 in the morning soon."
Mr. Zhao looked at his watch: "Hmm, there are still a few more hours. Let's take a break."
Mr. Zhao said to me: "Eldest Nephew, you, Xia Xin and Little Tang Wei can go rest. I will be on duty here. I'll let you know if anything happens. "
I nodded in agreement before following minor hemiptera into the backyard.
This was the urban-rural junction. In front was the small business store, and behind it was the courtyard of their family. There are a lot of free rooms in minor hemiptera's house, so we were randomly given a few.
I lay awake, unable to sleep. But I forced myself to close my eyes.
I lay there for a while, half asleep. When I woke up, it was already past two in the morning. I rubbed my eyes and rolled over to face the wall.
Then I saw a spot of light on the wall, like a flash of lightning. When I saw the speck of light, my heart jumped: Isn't this the light from the portrait?
I sat up in panic and quickly found that the light was coming through the gap in the door. I jumped to the door to take a look, and found that there was a fire in the yard. The fire was very strong, but it soon dimmed down. There was only one explanation for such a flame: someone was burning paper.
I smelled the ash in the yard and looked back at the spots of light on the wall. I suddenly felt scared and thought, "Crap, today is the day I die."
I had always thought tomorrow was my birthday, but I had overlooked one thing. It was the next day after twelve.
So, the other party has already come and is planning to take my life at any time?
I looked at my watch. It was three in the morning. If the person who set up the mourning hall in the district was really the murderer, then the time of my death should be 3: 30, and I still have half an hour left.
In a matter of life and death, it was best not to show off. If he lost his life in order to save face, then he would never have the chance to regain it. I opened the door and went out.
I knew which room Xia Xin was in, so I knocked on her door and told her what I was worried about.
Xia Xin was also shocked after hearing that and called the Mr. Zhao over. The two of them studied my death and decided that it was not a small matter. If I die, many things can't go on.
In the end, they decided to save my life first. At this time, the buyer of the heart hasn't returned. I hope we can finish off the person who wants to kill me first.
Little Tang Wei said to Mr. Zhao: "I will go to the front and wait for the buyer. The two of you will guard the ninth day.
Mr. Zhao hesitated for a moment, then said to Little Tang Wei: "That buyer might be able to recognize you.
After all, Little Tang Wei was still young. Even if she was facing death right now, when she heard that she had to disguise herself, she was still very excited.
Five minutes later, Mr. Zhao patted her shoulder.
Little Tang Wei looked at herself in the mirror and his face fell. Mr. Zhao's disguise was simple and crude, it was just a piece of yellow paper stuck on her face. The only difference between the paper and the black paper was that there were holes in the eyes and nose.
Little Tang Wei said angrily: "Is there really a need to waste five minutes on such a crappy thing?"
Mr. Zhao said: "Everyone can stick to a piece of paper, but I drew a rune on it. In the eyes of a human, it is as if your face was covered with a piece of paper, but in the eyes of a ghost, it is a completely different face."
The Little Tang Wei was skeptical, but she did not understand these skills, so she could only trust the Mr. Zhao.
Little Tang Wei shook her phone at me and said, "I'll wait at the front. If the buyer comes, I'll give you a call."
Xia Xin suddenly asked with a smile: "If the buyer and the person who killed Hu Chujiu arrived at the same time, would we choose to help you get your heart back, or choose to save Hu Chujiu?"
Little Tang Wei was stunned, then she bit her lips and said, "Don't worry about me."
Then she turned and walked into the front shop.
Mr. Zhao had already taken out a bunch of bottles and jars from his bag. I saw that there were labels on them, but I didn't recognize any of those words.
Mr. Zhao gave a part of Xia Xin, "Let's set up an impenetrable net. If that guy really comes, it'll take him at least half an hour to get in."
I saw them pour out a bright red liquid from the bottle. It looked like blood, but it didn't smell like blood.
As Xia Xin prepared, she said to the Mr. Zhao, "If the other party is very powerful, what if we can't stop them?"
Mr. Zhao said, "It doesn't matter, I will make another layer of camouflage in front to create a substitute for the ninth level. In order to kill this substitute, he will go through many trials. If he was tricked by a double, that would be fine. If I wasn't tricked, it would be too late to kill him. The time is already gone. "
Xia Xin couldn't help but exclaim, "You sure have a lot of eyes."
Mr. Zhao chuckled: "Thank you for your praise."
Xia Xin rolled her eyes, "It's a joke."
Mr. Zhao said, "I will take it as a compliment." Then he started to sigh and say that if Erhu was still here, he wouldn't have to work so hard.
I said to the Mr. Zhao, "Forget it. Erhu was perfect as my double, but he was always thinking about my body. I don't see many people killing me all year round, but this kid has to be on guard every minute. This is asking Sun Yiyi to watch over the Immortality Peach Garden. "
Mr. Zhao laughed and said, "Go to your room and take a nap. It would be best if you don't make a sound so that your position won't be exposed."
I knew I couldn't help, so I went back to the house. Then, Mr. Zhao pasted a yellow paper on the door and hung a sigil on the window as well.
Ten minutes later it was quiet outside. There were less than twenty minutes until three-thirty. My heart was thumping.
I leaned over to the door and looked out through the crack. The courtyard was very clean, without any signs of decoration. Mr. Zhao and Xia Xin didn't know where they went, but I was sure that they were nearby, secretly observing me.
I let out a long breath and lay down on the bed. I don't know how many lives have passed since then. To die on the day of my twenty-fourth birthday in my previous life, it seems that the other party is very capable.
I took the knife out and held it to my chest. If Mr. Zhao and Xia Xin fail, this dagger will be my last chance.
I thought for a bit and took out the box Coffin King gave me. Put it by the pillow. I hope what the old man said is true, the things in this box can really save my life.
