Chapter 32 Salmon Frog

Zhang Hua looked darker than a few months ago. He didn’t know where he went and was exposed to the wind and sun, like a wrinkled black braised egg.

"Jigang, thirteenth son, and Mingming and Ranran, come and give each of you a red sand skewer."

The old man got the key to the award center and heard that two strangers who were ghost exorcists came to the village and stayed there. In the B&B of his old friend's adopted daughter, Zhang Hua instantly guessed that she would be his grandnephew.

"It's Thirteen, not Thirteen."

The conversation between Cui Yu and Zhang Hua still didn't look like a junior talking to an elder, but more like they had known each other for a long time. Zhang Jigang was a little strange, why Cui Yu didn't care about the appearance of his uncle and grandfather. Not surprising.

The content of the text message on the mobile phone was true, but the prize was set by Zhang Hua privately. He dug deep and finally found a secret passage leading to the basement in one of the chieftain's strongholds. He went in and took a look. Guy!

They are all the remains of defective puppets made by the chieftain over the years, as well as the "oil and water" collected from these individual visitors - gold and silver treasures, various magical weapons and even self-driving cars, are all hidden in In that huge warehouse.

An Ran's eyes turned into a crescent smile, and she pulled Zhang Hua and introduced: "Uncle, you are really thinking of me, where did you get the off-road vehicle? I will arrange a spacious and comfortable room for you tonight, and I will go get some specialties. Here are the pastries..."

Zhang Jigang couldn't interrupt, but he always felt something was wrong. It was clear that Zhang Hua was two rounds older than Tu Fei, but they still called each other brothers. This made An Ran and Tu Minglang also call Zhang Hua uncle. Wouldn't that be a seniority difference?

And strictly speaking, the car was the illegal income of the chieftain and should be turned over to the national crime department. Why did the old man give it to An Ran as a favor?

Cui Yu reiterated: "Zhang Hua, it's still summer time, I can't let Ji Gang follow you."

An Ran rolled her eyes and looked at him: "...Boy, no matter how big or small, you should call me grandpa!"

Zhang Hua put the key chain into An Ran's hand, looked around the surrounding environment, and muttered in a judgmental manner: "It's pretty good. However, your father probably never lived in such a nice house when he was alive. He and I'm a restless person, no, I went to Wangcheng some time ago..."

As he spoke, Zhang Hua also deliberately looked at Cui Yu behind him. The boy frowned subconsciously, with an expression that was probably... Thinking about how to threaten him to leave.

Zhang Hua was old, and there were signs of age spots on his temples, but his physical fitness was still good. He wandered around the B&B and finally fixed his eyes on his room. When Zhang Jigang, who had been silent all the way, arrived, He opened the door and said to the others: "I'm catching up with my great-nephew, you guys need to rest first."

Zhang Jigang turned his head and looked at the time on the wall, wasn't it? It was almost one o'clock, and there was no time for two consecutive nights. After a good night's sleep, the dark circles under his eyes were dark and blue, as if he would fall asleep standing up in the next second.

After closing the door, Zhang Jigang lay down on the sofa skillfully, took off his shoes and rubbed the sore soles of his feet, and then lazily said: "Uncle, you are so cruel. I am so sleepy that I feel like I am out of body, and you still have to hold me." Interrogation after class...ah ha...what's going on..."

"Ji Gang." Zhang Hua called out seriously, took out the red sand string from his pocket, held it in his hand, and pierced his own with magic power. Use your fingertips to smear the blood on the outside of the bead string, and the dark red color spreads into the inside of the bead in an instant.

Just when Zhang Jigang's eyelids were about to droop, the floor in the room began to shake, and then he heard countless wailing sounds coming from his ears, which was heartbreaking and terrifying.

The voice went straight to Tianling Gai, making Zhang Jigang open his eyes in fright: "Uncle? Grandpa? What is this..."

"This is what I really want to give you. Its beads are rare and exotic. " It was made from the skull of an insect, a frog, with a head like a mantis and a body like a scaly fish. I went all over the place and worked hard to get so many of them."

Zhang Jigang looked puzzled: "What do I want this for? I am a boy, how can I often wear jewelry...and why does it smell weird?"

He said that it is impossible for my uncle to give gifts for no reason, and he specially gave one to each of the other three people, so that even if he gave it, it would not matter. will be suspected, and then we can no longer keep a close eye on Zhang Jigang.

Zhang Hua's eyes wandered and landed on the shoulder blade exposed in Zhang Jigang's collar. He pulled hard and a dark red bite mark was clearly visible.

"Silly boy, did you let Thirteen touch you?"

Zhang Jigang's eyes trembled slightly. He really didn't want to pick up the pot. If it weren't for Cui Yu to inform Si Yuehu of his whereabouts, he wouldn't have considered signing a contract with him. , the first time he was in Cui Xiaoyu's ghost realm, he vaguely felt Cui Yu touching him, but when he actually entered the reincarnation formation set up by that guy, his whole brain was dizzy and turned into a mess.

"...It's Thirteen, not Thirteen... He is my accompanying magic weapon, and he will not harm me."

The more Zhang Jigang spoke, the less confident he became. He tightened his collar and his eyes wandered.

Zhang Hua said solemnly, with a strange color on his face: "Salmon tadpoles are creatures of the underworld and should not appear in the human world. But when I went to various places, I found that mysterious crimes occurred frequently. There are more of these things than gold mines. Did you know "Why?"

"Brother Tu also said so. It was caused by the turmoil in the underworld."

"The Lord of the underworld has been dead since two hundred years ago. The flowers on the other side of hell are as red as blood, and the soul-crossing skills and defeats are all due to him." "Hand."

Zhang Hua can still remember when he was a child, he heard his family elders describe the fierce battle on Yin Yang Street, entering from the blood cave under the Red Building, leading directly to another invisible world in the underworld, and the rocks on the ground rolled like lava and glowed scarlet. , the huge stone pillars and rock walls were stained with blood.

Tens of thousands of evil ghosts trapped in the prison were restless and broke out of the prison. White bones were floating on the banks of the Wangchuan River. The statue of the Lord of the Underworld that had stood for tens of thousands of years was destroyed overnight, and there was a continuous flow of blood. ...

"Our relationship with the underworld is far more complicated than you think. Ghost exorcists kill evil spirits and send them to the underworld for imprisonment and soul transfer. The lord of the underworld will also use himself as a deterrent force to control those evil spirits who do not want to be killed." Come to the world again, and if one party breaks such a promise, it will change from a collaborator to an enemy.

"So... we are hostile to the Lord of the Underworld?"

Zhang Hua mobilized the powerful magic power in his palm to cover Zhang Jigang's shoulder blades. I went up to sense the spell, but strangely I didn't feel an offensive curse, more like a mark.

Zhang Hua smiled: "It hasn't reached that level yet. Although Master Xun had no choice but to break into the underworld to eliminate the out-of-control evil spirits, which violated the agreement that exorcists were not allowed to enter the underworld, but from then on Judging from the situation, the underworld seems to have been hit hard and is more polite to the ghost exorcist.

"But it's weird. The underworld shouldn't keep this secret until a new master is selected before releasing the news." Zhang Jigang knows better than anyone else. The painful lesson of being leaderless was that the Zhang family suffered a curse and suffered a long-term decline due to Master Xun's willful behavior. And if such a huge underworld area has no owner, how can it not be targeted by other forces?

In his opinion, people like Tu Yisi do not seem to belong to the underworld faction, and the organization behind his claim has naturally become a third-party force besides the ghost exorcists and the underworld.

"Aren't you quite smart? Why did you ask Shisan'er to be bitten by that bastard? Ji Gang, I'm warning you. Your mother and I have always been in contact. Be careful if I file a lawsuit against you!"

"Uncle, can you? Don't...my mother doesn't know anything. She's timid and weak, don't involve her!" Zhang Jigang stopped Zhang Hua, "Besides, Thirteen is my magic weapon, and he has to listen to me from beginning to end. What are you worried about?"

"He can put a curse on you!"

Zhang Jigang glanced at the bite mark: "What kind of curse is this? It doesn't hurt. Are you suspicious of my classmate?

" I don't know whether it is right or wrong to tell everything now, but seeing Ni Shisan going around in circles and finding the only descendant of the Zhang family, the haze in his heart lingers, ever since he first saw the underworld fire in Eighteen years ago, when his brother wrote a letter saying that his great-nephew was born, he felt a strange smell nearby.

Being able to follow him for eighteen years, who knows what that thing is thinking.

"Dong dong -"

Zhang Jigang's pupils tightened and he asked: "Who?"

"Jigang, let's go to the town to visit the night market. It's too boring to fall asleep in the room."

Cui Yu stood outside and said softly Knock on the door.

Zhang Hua frowned and murmured in a low voice: "Look... I can't leave you alone for even a second. Your classmate is really clingy to you."

"Uncle, grandpa, it was originally a graduation trip we agreed on, but one day I didn’t even go to the town. Can you allow us to have a good night... Otherwise, I won’t have such a chance when I go to Wangcheng..."

"Let Minglang accompany you..."

Cui Yu said through the door. "Brother Tu was very tired after a busy day. He fell asleep in the room. The night market activities continued until three o'clock. I will definitely bring Ji Gang back before three o'clock."

Zhang Hua opened the door seriously: "How long have you been eavesdropping? ?"

Cui Yu looked slightly innocent: "I've only been here for two minutes. What do you need to hear through the door?"

"What's the purpose of casting a curse on my nephew?"

Cui Yu put an arm around Zhang Jigang's waist. , came closer and said, "I didn't force you about the oath, did I? Why did your uncle and grandfather come to blame me? I'm so sad..."

"Let's go! Let's go first!"

Zhang Jigang happened to be too lazy to listen in his uncle's room. Stories, the grievances and grudges between the underworld and the ghost exorcist are too far away for him, not to mention that the ghost exorcist is only halfway into the profession, and he may never have the opportunity to deal with the Lord of the Underworld in this life. , what does it sound like?

"Jigang! Don't hang out with him all day long, he's a bad guy..."

Zhang Hua chased him for a few steps, chattering behind him.

Zhang Jigang pulled Cui Yu and ran outside the B&B. He jumped on the donkey cart in a few steps and naturally hugged the man's waist: "Go ahead, I don't want to ride a donkey anymore, and when we get to town, you'll treat us!"

Cui Yu The corner of his mouth raised, he glanced at Zhang Hua evilly, and replied with a faint smile: "Okay, I'll treat you~"
