Zhang Jinya took us to a hot pot restaurant about 600 to 700 meters away from his home. Because it was a remote place, the business in the restaurant was not very prosperous. There were only a few groups of people eating here and there, so we were arranged to a private room by the waiter without waiting.
It can be seen that Zhang Jinya is really not very popular. His reputation is probably very bad. After ordering the dishes, the waiter ran away as if he was guarding against thieves. It looked like he would lose a piece of meat if he stayed in front of Zhang Jinya for one more minute.
The dishes in this restaurant were served very quickly. Soon our table was full of wine and meat. Zhang Jinya greeted us and then picked up his chopsticks and started eating.
To be honest, I was quite hungry now. After all, we had been on this journey for nearly 40 hours. The food on the train was really terrible. All I ate was instant noodles. Seeing the table of food made my stomach growl. I didn't bother to be polite with Zhang Jinya. I went up and ate half of my food without saying anything. When I felt a little better, I finally asked Zhang Jinya what was going on with the corpse qi on my body?
"I'm just guessing."
Zhang Jinya grinned, not realizing that a coriander leaf was stuck on his big golden teeth. He said calmly, "The corpse aura on you is very subtle. If I hadn't shaken your hand, I wouldn't have felt it. It doesn't look like you got it in some gloomy and unclean place. On the contrary, there's an 80% chance that you were tricked. Something left corpse aura on you to track you. Even if you run to the ends of the earth, as long as you can't get rid of this smell, it can find you! To put it bluntly, it's like you've been equipped with a locator. The thing that left corpse aura on you can find you at any time by following your smell!"
I felt a chill in my heart and asked quickly, "Is there a solution?" Is there any solution?"
"Don't worry."
Zhang Jinya said: "There are many kinds of corpse qi. Some are emitted by the dead after decay, and some are emitted by the big zongzi. In short, different corpses have different corpse qi components and different solutions. Let's do this. Tell me in detail what happened to you. Don't miss any details. I want to see what is the thing that left the corpse qi mark on you and wants to find an opportunity to harm you!"
Before coming here, I heard from the guide uncle that Zhang Jinya's character is not very good, but he has real skills. Looking at his current posture, it's possible that he can really save me. I will tell you everything that happened after receiving the Baipi Knife.
When Zhang Jinya heard that I received the legendary Baipi Knife, he kept looking at the cloth bag on my back. He probably saw that the cloth bag contained the Baipi Knife, which made me feel uneasy - could this guy have taken a fancy to my knife? After all, the value of the Baipi Knife is too high, and anyone would be tempted!
After so many things happened, I lost interest in reselling this knife. Now is a peaceful era, and this kind of murder weapon that has killed countless people is hard to find now. It is almost a rare thing. I also want to keep this knife with me for protection. It is simply the best amulet for people like me with weak yang. I immediately covered the Baipi Knife behind me: "Don't think about it, I'm counting on this thing to save my life!"
Zhang Jinya reluctantly withdrew his eyes and smiled: "How can I, I'm that kind of person."
Don't you know your reputation?
I cursed in my heart, but I couldn't say it out loud. I changed the subject and asked Zhang Jinya if he could tell what the thing that left the corpse qi on me was that wanted to harm me?
"I have a clue."
When it comes to business, Zhang Jinya no longer thinks about my Baipi Knife: "According to what you said, those things that harassed you while you were sleeping and the old woman lying on your back should all be ghosts. They don't have corpse qi, but it's hard to determine what kind of ghost they are for the time being.
After thinking about it, I think the thing that pretended to be Mr. Li and smiled at you when you weren't paying attention is the most likely one!
As for the mysterious woman who took that thing away, to be honest, I can't tell her depth and don't know if she is a human."
When I heard this, I was happy and asked if I could confirm the origin of the thing that pretended to be Uncle Li and smiled at me?
Zhang Jinya was silent for a long time, and slowly said three words: "Smiling Corpse!"
My heart suddenly chilled, my face suddenly became ugly, and Uncle Li's eyes twitched fiercely a few times.
Zhang Jinya looked at me with interest and asked: "Do you know this Smiling Corpse?"
I nodded.
The smiling corpse is recorded in great detail in "The Secret Art of Fa Qiu". It is one of the most vicious and dirty things. The reason for the formation of this thing is also one in a million and extremely rare. Most of them are too tired before death. When they are about to die of exhaustion, their bodies self-regulate and enter a very special sleep state. Because this sleep state makes people feel very comfortable, they can't help but smile on their faces in their dreams, but their breathing stops. They absorb oxygen through the pores of their skin, so they are mistaken for death and nailed directly into the coffin. Then they are buried alive in a place with particularly heavy yin energy. They can't absorb oxygen through their skin because they can't absorb oxygen in the coffin. They can only absorb yin energy continuously. These yin energy interacts with the yang energy that they hang on before being buried, and finally forms a kind of thing that is neither human nor corpse. Not only does it not rot after being buried underground for tens of millions of years, but its face is still lifelike, with a smile on its face before being buried. Once the coffin is opened, it will wake up immediately, so it is called a smiling corpse! !
This thing has been buried underground for who knows how many years, and who knows how much Yin Qi has been absorbed into its body. It is frighteningly fierce, and its body is soft, with a certain degree of consciousness and thinking ability. It can also capture the breath of living people and change its facial features through the breath of living people. Another characteristic is that it laughs at everyone it sees, and those who see it laugh almost have no good end.
To be precise, this thing is basically a monster! !
How can I not be afraid of being stared at by such a thing?
Perhaps seeing my fear, Zhang Jinya patted my shoulder and said, "Don't worry, although the smiling corpse is fierce, it can still be dealt with. I guess the reason why it has not come to you since it was taken away by the mysterious woman that day is because you have the Fa Qiu seal on your body. Since it is afraid of the Fa Qiu seal, it means that its Taoism is not deep. You stay by my side during this period. As long as it shows up, I will deal with it!
However, based on the situation you encountered, this smiling corpse is obviously also at the level of being used as a gun. The thing that really wants your life may be more powerful than the smiling corpse. But if you want to figure out what it is, I guess you have to go to the Qinling Ancient Tombs. Fortunately, there are indeed a few masters who are going to the Qinling Ancient Tombs recently. I will go with them. You can follow me when the time comes. We can just act together, so that we can have someone to look after us!"
For the first time, I felt that Zhang Jinya's wretched face was a little more pleasing to the eye, but thinking about this guy's black heart, I was also a little suspicious. After hesitating for a while, I asked him anxiously: "What about the reward?"
"Bang!"
As soon as he mentioned the reward, Zhang Jinya immediately slammed the table hard, which scared me. I thought he was going to ask for a lot of money. I was even ready to use the Baipi Knife as a reward. Who knew that Zhang Jinya said angrily: "Vulgar! Really vulgar! You are the descendant of Senior Ge after all. Do we need to ask for money for our brotherly relationship? Do you think I am a vulgar person in your eyes?"
I looked at the glittering gold tooth with coriander leaves in his mouth and was embarrassed to speak.
Seeing that I didn't mention money again, Zhang Jinya's righteous face was restrained, and he put his arm around my shoulder with a smile as if he was playing a face-changing game: "Well, Brother Ge, have you mastered your skills now?"
Looking at the smile on this guy's face, I instinctively raised my vigilance: "Skills? What skills?"
"Pretend! You pretend with me!"
Zhang Jinya patted my shoulder hard, and then lowered his voice and said: "What other skills can your old Ge family have? What? When can we brothers try it? I will deal with the weird things, you just dig them out, I guarantee you will make a fortune!"
I finally understood, and I couldn't help but sneer in my heart - I was wondering why he didn't want my reward. It turned out that this grandson was attracted by our Ge family's tomb robbing skills, and thought that I could also rob tombs. He wanted me to help him pry open a big tomb to make a fortune, which is much more cost-effective than him charging me a reward!
But I don't have the skills of my ancestors!
But I didn't tell him this, because this grandson was asking me to take him to rob tombs. If I said I couldn't, it was still unclear whether he would save me!
Seeing my silence, Zhang Jinya thought I was hesitating about something, so he advised me: "Brother, why are you hesitating? Listen to me, that thing really makes money."
As he said, Zhang Jinya pointed to the gold tooth in his mouth and said: "Look at this gold tooth, this is what I got from a tomb with a few tomb robbers! But those tomb robbers were not good, they didn't have the skills of your Ge family, not only did they find no burial objects in the tombs they found, but as soon as the coffins were opened, the corpses rose up and a big zongzi jumped out directly. I suffered a lot following them, not only did I get nothing, but I also spent a lot of effort to subdue the zongzi. "Zi, luckily there is a gold tooth in the mouth of the zongzi, otherwise I would have lost a lot."
I felt a chill: "Did you pick out this gold tooth from the mouth of the zongzi?"
"Yes!"
Zhang Jinya grinned: "There is no burial object, if I don't pick out its gold tooth, wouldn't it be a waste of time? Whatever I can get is better, don't you think so?"
I didn't know what to say all of a sudden, I was so disgusted, I couldn't even put down my chopsticks when I saw the dishes on the table, this guy is really, if he invited us to dinner, he should just say it clearly if he is afraid of spending money, is it necessary to do this?
"Let's talk about it later!"
I curled my lips, didn't refuse directly, and gave him an ambiguous answer: "Let's solve this problem on me first, and talk about other things later, okay?"
I really have no choice, after all, I need help from others now, I can only pretend to be fat, save my own life first. Fortunately, Uncle Li and Zhou Jing also cooperated and did not directly expose the fact that I was a newbie who knew nothing.
"Okay!"
Zhang Jinya grinned, probably thinking that I agreed to it, and patted his chest and promised me: "I will take care of this matter."
I sighed silently in my heart. What the hell is this, but in order to survive, I can only do this...
