Chapter 89 - Mt. Mud Snail
"Why should I help you?" I asked while staring at Di Jinlian.
Aside from being bewildered, there was only annoyance left in my heart.
Pan Ying and I have only met once, and we can't even be considered friends.
A female ghost of the Republic of China came to my house and occupied her body, but she came in … In the mirror in my bathroom.
No matter if it's Pan Ying who colluded with the female ghost, or was deceived by Di Jinlian, I seem to have a reason to get angry, and to help them.
Originally, he thought that Di Jinlian would be speechless. He didn't expect her to take something out from Pan Ying's bag and place it on the table:
"I know He Jiu Shi's rules. This is the payment I paid in advance. After the matter is completed, I still have to thank him heavily."
I was a little confused.
What she put on the table was actually a jade bracelet.
I have never studied jade, but a layman can tell what is good with a glance.
The jade bracelet was as clear as water, green and glistening, warm and crystal clear like the skin of a Young Women, making people want to touch it.
Rules of the Old He?
I directly asked Di Jinlian, what rules does Old He have?
This time, it was Di Jinlian who was stunned.
It took her a moment to react before she said,
"Regardless of the person or ghost, as long as you have a request, you must pay sufficient compensation."
A mouthful of blood welled up in my throat and I almost spat it out.
He knew that the Old He was a money grubber, but he never thought that this old thing would have no bottom line.
I suddenly recalled that last time and last night when we were opening the shop, there were a few old ghosts who died violently after being overrated. They all had a puzzled expression when they looked at me.
F * ck, so this old man also wanted to take advantage of the supernatural!
I picked up the jade bracelet, looked at it, and put it back on the table. "Where did you get this bracelet from?"
Di Jinlian's expression darkened, "It was given to me by my husband back then."
I nodded.
Everyone had their own preferences. After a person died, if they couldn't let go of what they loved, they would attach some spiritual energy to it. If a dead person loitered around the world for too long, they were more likely to be trapped in something they liked.
Some people get some old things back, and they just don't get it, or they get a lot of weird stuff, that's probably why.
I told Di Jinlian, since it's a token of love, she should keep it well.
What a joke, I don't even want to do it, let alone if the other party is a female ghost.
However, Di Jinlian said that once I find the marriage certificate and have my wish fulfilled, or go to the Yin Division to reincarnation, or have my soul destroyed, I will not be able to take the things away.
I thought about it and decided to go with her.
First it was the weekend, and then I took two days off, and then. Pan Ying was still in the mirror, why did she have to bring this girl out?
After arriving at the back street, Dou Dabao was in the midst of unlocking the door. I told him to stop opening for the next two days and come with me.
Dou Dabao opened his eyes wide and stared at Di Jinlian who was beside me:
"Damn, I've gotten another little beauty!" It's all the exorcist, why am I alone with all the beauties around you? "
I didn't hide the truth from him, and told him about Di Jinlian and Pan Ying.
Originally, he wanted to hear his opinion on this matter. However, after being stunned for a long time, he said: "Pan Ying …." Di Jinlian... If two people combined, wouldn't that be Pan Jinlian?
I blacked out and fainted in the back seat.
After driving for more than five hours, we finally arrived at White-brow County.
Dou Dabao was greedy for food, so he found a restaurant with local characteristics, ordered a table full of dishes, and actually ordered a plate of Sheep's Eye. I can't eat this stuff anyway.
I looked at Di Jinlian in a daze.
She actually ate more than Dou Dabao, and the way she ate wasn't much better than Dou Dabao.
When she saw me staring at her, she felt a little embarrassed. "I haven't eaten in a long time," she whispered.
Looking at her clear and bright eyes, I suddenly had a strange feeling.
Was she really Di Jinlian?
After dinner, the three of them drove to a small town called Qi Mei Town on the southern outskirts of the county town.
I asked Di Jinlian where exactly the Di Family Mansion was, and to my surprise, she seemed a little lost, unable to say why.
How can you be sure that the old house hasn't been demolished when you've forgotten where it is?
If she said she was still here, Di Family Mansion definitely wouldn't tear her apart.
Dou Dabao and I looked at each other and felt that this matter was becoming more and more bizarre.
Ghosts stay in the world long enough to dwell on certain things and forget others. However, Di Jinlian's situation was very different from the other old ghosts. Not only did she seem to have forgotten something, she seemed to have deliberately concealed something from him.
At the end of the day, he could only ask.
Coincidentally, we arrived at a market. We parked our cars by the side of the road and got off the cars, looking for a few elderly people to ask about it. In the end, we didn't even know what kind of Di Family Mansion there were.
I was depressed, but I didn't give up.
He had come all the way here, so he couldn't just return home, right?
Dou Dabao, who was acting separately, suddenly called me. He asked me where Di Family Mansion was and told me to meet him there.
At the side of the carriage, besides Dou Dabao and Di Jinlian, there was another tall and sturdy man who was dressed in a black daoist robe and had his hair tied up in a bun. He was a middle-aged man who was dressed like a Daoist, and in his hands, he carried a cover.
Dou Dabao said: "This is Cui Youde, Daoist Cui. He knows where the Di Family Mansion is, and is willing to bring us there."
I nodded towards Cui Youde and after a moment of hesitation, I said:
"Daoist Priest Cui, please tell us where the Di Family Mansion is. We'll go ourselves, I won't trouble you any longer."
Cui Youde was actually quite kind. He waved his hand and said:
"Since we are fellow daoists, there is no need to be courteous. You can just call me Old Cui." That old house is very remote. Without anyone to lead the way, it would be hard to find it.
Fellow Daoist?
Needless to say, Dou Dabao had already shown off.
I hesitated, then said, Let him get in.
I pulled Dou Dabao aside and asked him how he found the Taoist.
Dou Dabao said:
"He is just a fortune-teller. I asked the person next to me, and he heard me. He said he knew where the Di Family Mansion was and it just so happened that the stall was closed, so I brought him here. "
I didn't say anything else and got in the car with Dou Dabao.
To be honest, my first impression of this Cui Youde isn't very good. I keep having the feeling that his eyes make me feel uncomfortable.
His eyeballs were smaller than the average person's, and they were yellowish in color. White appeared on all four sides of his eyes, and the corners of his eyes were the same size as his eyes. It was as if two tiles were buckled together.
Although I don't know much about looks, but I've heard Blind Liu argue a little.
In phase learning, there are many kinds of eyes.
For example, dragon eyes, phoenix eyes, turtle eyes, lion eyes, sparrow eyes, etc.
But Taoist Cui's eyes were like a typical sheep's eyes!
People with this kind of look seemed docile and friendly, but in reality, they were treacherous and greedy, sinister and evil.
Although Blind Liu was not good at interacting with others, he rarely made a mistake in judging others. Thus, I still believed in his judgement in this aspect. In my heart, I could not help but be wary of this overzealous Old Cui.
Following the guidance given by the Taoist Cui, they drove for around twenty minutes and arrived at a remote mountain village.
Taoist Cui pointed to the mountain at the back of the village. This mountain was called the Mud Mountain, and the village was called the Mud Village. He was one of the villagers, and Di Family Mansion was located in a valley on the Mud Mountain.
I was a little dumbfounded. If no one brought me to this place, I wouldn't be able to find it.
The Taoist Cui said that he would first go home and put down the things at the stall, then bring us there.
I can only express my gratitude.
Watching the Taoist Cui enter the village, Dou Dabao suddenly said in a sneaky voice:
"Huohuo, do you think that this mountain range looks like a huge graveyard?"
"Hiss …" I couldn't help but gasp.
One by one, the hills at the back of the village were not very high, but they looked flat at first glance. The mountain was shaped like a mud snail in a river, and that was probably where the mountain and village names came from.
But after hearing Dou Dabao's words, if one looked more carefully, that piece of mountain was more like a huge grave that was connected to one another than a mud snail.
I curiously asked Di Jinlian, if she had any impression of this place.
She looked confused again, and it took her a moment to say, It looks like this.
I became more and more suspicious.
Looking at Di Jinlian's original attire, if she really was a citizen of the Republic of China, then she must be a young miss from a rich and powerful family, or perhaps even the wife of an illustrious family. How could she live in such a remote valley?
Besides, even if he didn't understand Feng Shui, he should be able to tell how dejected this mountain was. How could someone from a family build a mansion in a mountain like this …
Seeing that the Taoist Cui had returned, I put the flashlight on the carriage into my bag.
The three of them got off the carriage together and followed Taoist Cui into the mountains.
Dou Dabao could not help but ask Taoist Cui:
"Old Cui, what was the Di Family doing in the past? How could they build a mansion in the mountains?"
Taoist Cui said as they walked:
"According to the elders in the village, Di Family was famous for being rich in a hundred mile radius before liberation. Some people said that a great official had appeared in the Di Family, and that a person had risen to the heavens in the path of a dog. Others said that the Di Family was previously a bandit who had made a large business deal before moving here.
The weirdest part was that the Di Family cultivated in demonic arts, and used the diabolism to kill people on behalf of the rich and powerful. Others simply said that the people of Di Family were not humans, but because of Yellow Great Immortal. All in all, we have talked about it. It's been so many years, who knows what's real and what's fake? "
I looked at Di Jinlian and asked: "Are there still people in Di Family?"
Tch, it's been a long time. As you can see, these hills are just like mud cones, deceiving themselves and making them look like graves. The village of Nutus was the poorest village in the whole town, and it was all because of these graves. If there were still people living in these mountains this year, then it would be f * cking weasels! "
After saying that, the Taoist Cui suddenly stopped and turned around.
"My two dao friends, and this lady, you came to the Di Family Mansion to find the treasure that the Di Family had buried, right? But don't blame Old Cui for not reminding you that the old mansion is not clean! "
