Chapter 99 Si
Chapter 99 Si
Gentiana Qin recovered the dragon's original body due to the accidental influence of clam oil, and it would take at least two or three hours to return to its normal human form.
His subordinate Jin Jingzhi heard from Qin Geng's previous words that he should have stayed at the embroidery shoe mother-in-law's house to continue to take care of the old man, so he will not come over to have a round with them tonight.
Under such circumstances, it is definitely impossible for Jin Heng to leave Gentiana Qin alone in the mouse hole with the ewe that will be eaten by him at any time, so he can only walk out of the cave with the cold and terrifying little dragon snake in his arms. While trying to find traces of Liao Feiyun and the others nearby.
But when the people came out, Jin Heng found out that Liao Feiyun had already disappeared with Shi Xiaoguang and the rest of the golden sheep just now. It seemed that he had listened to what he said before and ran out of this dangerous street to find him. Other people who could help have gone, but the ghost messenger who just chased them has disappeared for a while, and I don't know where he ran to find him at this moment.
Obviously, if he was going to the Yin Division to check the situation tonight, he would have to find the ghost messenger first, so Jin Heng didn't waste too much time, so he was going to find the ghost messenger again.
It's just that the only concept in his mind about this ghost is only from "Song Dingbo Selling Ghosts" and the rest of the few records in "Sou Shen Zhuan", so he carefully recalled the characteristics of ghosts recorded in the book, but vaguely only Jin Heng, who remembers being cruel, greedy for money, and not good at lying, released three or four little paper dudes 2.0 casually, and gave them a little description of the characteristics of the ghost just now.
But what's more troublesome is that this batch of improved little paper lords 2.0 is fine in everything else, but I don't know why there is an extra bad problem. Not only are they particularly naughty, but they also like to mess around at critical moments, so even if their expressions are serious Jin Heng squatted down and patiently talked to them for a long time, but they just stood there crookedly chasing and playing like children, and some even sat on the ground and started crying.
If you take a closer look at this behavior pattern, it is exactly the same as his nephew Jin Changming when he was younger, and Jin Heng, who has been an uncle for many years but still has no experience, rarely frowned with a headache thinking about how to communicate with them. At that moment, the Gentiana on his shoulder suddenly stretched out the snake letter towards the front coldly, and without a word, viciously picked up the most naughty looking little paper male and swallowed it in one gulp.
Jin Heng: "..."
Little Paper Man: "..."
This slightly bloody and brutal scene is unbearable to most adults, let alone these paper lords who are actually children at their actual age, so these little paper lords 2.0 who were collectively frightened shivered and huddled together. He didn't dare not listen to Jin Heng's words anymore.
And took the initiative to teach these little guys a lesson for him, and then blankly cast his eyes at Jin Heng, who was full of helplessness, Qin Gentiana slowly crawled back to Jin Heng's shoulders, and then deliberately slapped those little Zhigongs on the ground with horror. Mouth full of snake teeth.
"Hiss——!!!"
"!!!"
A blank piece of paper man was visibly frightened, and the little paper men collectively looked at Jin Heng with grievances, but in desperation they only got the kind and tolerant Master Jin The eyes of this basilisk gang.
And looking at the pitiful faces of these little paper lords hugging and crying together, Jin Heng, who realized that they should be really afraid of Gentiana Qin, shook his head helplessly, and then looked at Gentiana Qin lazily flicking his tail on his shoulder. Then he frowned and said in a low voice,
"Spit it out."
"..."
"Swallowing it directly will cause indigestion, and I will catch frogs for you when I go back."
"..."
After getting smaller, Aunt Qin, who was vaguely more coquettish, looked coldly at the twitching little Zhigong in front of her, and saw that they really planned to listen to Jin Heng this time, so she put the old one in her mouth The little Zhigong who was scared and fainted vomited out again, and when he saw his little friend who was almost tragic in the belly of the snake came back, he was collectively relieved, and the little Zhigong who was frightened for a while started to work seriously again Come.
During this process, Gentiana Qin did not make any dangerous moves, but just followed Jin Heng indifferently, and from time to time raised the scales on his body vigilantly to pay attention to the abnormal movements around him.
Until they finally followed the bouncing little Zhigong in front of them to a hidden corner of the alley, and finally found a piece of brown rice cake that looked like it had been bitten a few times but was well wrapped. Only then did he reveal a slightly different expression.
The brown rice cakes, which didn't look like anyone had eaten at all, obviously didn't belong to any of them. Another contact just happened to pass by here. Fortunately, after some troublesome accidents, the result was clear at a glance.
And he walked forward with a sense of inquiry, picked it up and took a closer look, noticing that the side of the brown rice cake was bitten repeatedly, and there were also several strange traces of tooth marks, and recalled that ghost full of rotten teeth. Heng's eyes changed slightly at first, and then he looked thoughtfully at the cold little snake on his shoulder and said,
"Our luck is really good. It seems that this ghost is not completely without weaknesses. At least he hasn't found out that he accidentally lost a very important thing just now."
"...?"
"You have been to the Yin Division before, right? I think you are very familiar with the boatman of the Sangui Bridge last time? But you haven't mentioned it since then?"
"hiss--"
The gray-eyed little dragon snake turned his eyes and gave him a sly look when he heard the words, it seemed that he didn't intend to explain this matter to Jin Heng, and Jin Heng also knew what kind of temper he was when he saw this, but Touching his cold tail helplessly with his fingers, he stood up again and walked a few steps forward again before frowning and saying lightly, his thoughts were a little wandering,
"I heard that there are not many ghosts in the underworld, and there are even fewer people walking around in the world. The boatman you met when you sent the little lady to the underworld may be one. The one we met tonight should be another one. Just now You have also seen that this ghost messenger is three feet tall, has rotten teeth, and has the ability to walk at night. It should be the same one that Song Dingbo met back then. It was ordinary, but he hid it in his left pocket, because he starved to death, and this piece of cake brought to the underworld was his only ration after death, so he would be willing to take a bite every 300 years. I wouldn't even be willing to swallow it, but counting the tooth marks on this cake is just right, so if there is no accident, we should have a way to go to the underworld tonight..."
Jin Heng with a calm expression had a little confidence in his heart when he said this, but as expected, at the moment when the two of them walked forward to check the surrounding situation while talking, and finally were about to walk out of the alley in front of them, they were already looking around. The ghost messenger who had been tormenting him for a long time finally turned back along the original road.
When he saw Jin Heng's familiar back from afar, the ferocious ghost chased up from behind with strange screams, grabbed Jin Heng's arm viciously, and opened his mouth to curse.
"Okay! You, you...you sheep thief!! Let Grandpa Ghost just give me a hard time to find it!! Your accomplices have all run away! You are the only one left! Haha! Get acquainted soon Hand over my golden retriever baby sheep!! Otherwise, I will want you to look good right away!!!!"
"..."
Being caught by the vicious ghost guard just happened to be caught by Jin Heng, he didn't seem to be in a panic, he was thin and thin, and Jin Heng, who didn't often fight with people at first glance, let him drag his hand to the alley, with a look of no resistance at all. On the contrary, the weak appearance made the ghost who was just trying to scare him a little bit puzzled.
And for a while, he didn't figure out where this daring sheep thief came from. After looking carefully, he found that his sheep was not in his hand. What about the sheep of a thousand pieces of gold?
The next second, he suddenly saw that the sheep thief broke free from his hand, and then slowly took out from his sleeve for a while, before he took out a piece of brown rice cake that had already been bitten out.
It's strange to say that it's just a rather inconspicuous piece of brown rice cake, but the ghost really changed his face the moment he saw it. Controlling the anger in his chest, he yelled in fear.
"You... where did you pick it up!!!! Give it back to me now!!! Give me back my pie!!"
He fumbled in his pocket in a panic, only to find that the pocket next to him was empty. When he saw that his pancake was really lost, he hurried up to grab it, but Jin Heng with a calm expression easily dodged it.
And when he saw this brat with a slumped face, he played a hooligan with him in a serious manner. The ghost with his hair standing on end squatted on the ground and stomped his feet vigorously. yelled,
"You shameless thief!! I will definitely kill you today!! You wait for me!!! You wait for me!!!"
Having said that, the originally short stature of the ghost messenger who was completely enraged began to swell rapidly again, and even crossed the high wall of the alley towards the top of the haunted world and began to grow violently in an instant.
Seeing this, he took a step back unconsciously, frowned again, and subconsciously covered Gentiana Qin on his shoulders with his palm. Jin Heng, who was about to fall down due to the violent vibration of the ground and the sound of air flow above his head, first let Gentiana Qin hide carefully. He went inside his clothes, and stuck the bloody mouth of Yao family who was attacking him at the ghost guard hidden in his sleeve.
And seeing that a lush and prosperous peach blossom tree seemed to grow out of his sleeves in an instant, the branches of the peach blossom trees that almost merged with his figure tightly wrapped around the neck of the ghost guard, and stepped on him half bald. Jin Heng, whose hair flew up, could only strangle the ghost guard's ferocious and distorted face and neck with a cold face, and dragged the ghost guard vigorously with his hands, and staggered forward a few steps.
It's strange to say that it should be the huge ghost messenger who has the upper hand at this moment, but when he is tied up by the dead branches of the peach tree, the ghost messenger still begins to have a wave of evil like being scalded by hot water. stink.
And listening to the strange laughter belonging to the three women surrounded him, the burning sensation from the branch also devastated his body little by little, until the ghost messenger who screamed at the sky finally couldn't stand it anymore. After he fell down suddenly and was completely sealed on a blank white paper by the white-haired young man, the expressionless Jin Heng stepped down on the low wall of the alley again, and put himself in his arms again. The Gentiana that had been carefully placed was released.
"How is it? Did you shake it just now?"
"hiss--"
"good."
"..."
His Royal Highness Chongjun, who has always been squeamish and difficult to serve, shook the snake's head and didn't say anything when he heard the words. He just vomited the snake letter at him with an awkward and cold face, and then couldn't hide his worry and licked the back of his hand to confirm. Checked out his security question.
Seeing this, Jin Heng's heart warmed and he was about to raise his hand to touch him, but suddenly he heard a funny growl sound like crying and sneezing from the white paper with the ghost messenger at his feet.
"Oh mother, it hurts me to death...you...you, you, you, what are you going to do! You stole the sheep! You stole the cake, too! Where did my ghost grandpa recruit your ancestors!! All right, all right! Treat me as unlucky! You just take away those golden sheep! Just give me back my bread!!"
The angry ghost messenger said so, lying on the ground on all fours, and glared at Jin Heng with his red eyes. Jin Heng saw that he would not act rashly for the time being and did not rush to say anything. He just thought about it before looking at the Bing, lowered his voice and said to the ghost on the ground who was locked in a white paper and couldn't get out,
"Those sheep were originally female ghosts who didn't deserve to die at all. So many female ghosts were lost before. You know how much responsibility you should bear. As a ghost messenger, you have to pay for the fact that you have broken the law for personal gain and violated your due responsibilities. I don't need to say that you should understand... As for the cake, I don't need it, you can take it back if you want, but I just need to answer my question truthfully right now."
"What...what's the problem?"
"Where is Qin Xuan?"
"..."
Hearing this, he was immediately dumbfounded. The ghost guard was in a panic, lying flat on the ground with a bruised nose and a swollen face, stammering but didn't say a word for a long time, and Jin Heng was not in a hurry to force him to say something. When he came out, he just knelt down slowly and gave the rough and unpalatable cake to the ghost guard for a look, and then suggested with a flat expression of 'sincerity',
"You can choose whether you want cakes or money. The reward Meilang gave you may be able to bring you a lot of cakes in the future, but I don't think this one is as special to you. If you are willing to tell me the truth, I will definitely return this piece of cake to you intact, and I will never break my promise."
"... Woo... Woo... You... You're courting death..."
I don't know whether it is anger or hatred, but anyway, the ghost messenger really couldn't help crying loudly at this moment, but at this moment, the whole ghost can only lie on the ground, unable to move, and can't raise his hand to wipe Wipe the clear water snot left along the nose a little bit.
So the ghost messenger, who has always been invincible, but fell into the hands of mortals, could only look at the expressionless but extremely hateful Jin Heng from the white paper, and opened his mouth reluctantly. out loud,
"...It was also hidden by Meilang and... the wick in the river of dead people in the Yin Division. There are no living people in it except dead corpses. It is said that there are tens of thousands of Yin corpses that have not rotted, and miasma surrounds them, so I advise you mortals not to go there... I am not responsible for what happened... Besides, I can swear to God... I swear, during this period of time, I am just helping them send sheep back and forth between the evil world and the underworld Yes...the other things are all...they made it up by themselves...and if it wasn't for...if it wasn't for my old cousin who knew Meilang and brought...so much gold and treasures...to the underworld Ask me specifically for help...I definitely won't help with this kind of thing..."
"Your cousin?"
"Just... just the Northwest City Lord... that hog... That's my old cousin... dear old cousin... He came to the Yin Division to ask me for help... I have been the Yin Official of the Underworld for so many years. Why don't you show some face to your ex-relatives... If I had known about these troubles, I would have ignored them a long time ago... And that Meilang is also very annoying. I was asked to help kill a man surnamed Shi After the mortal planted another unlucky ghost surnamed Qin, he suddenly changed his words two days ago... He asked me to help change the yin and yang fate, saying... why should he find a way to revive and call back the old evil master... But the yin and yang fate is I'm waiting for the underworld official... something I can touch at will... really greedy and shameless... I don't know how to flatter me at all, it's annoying..."
Having said that, the heartless ghost who was forcibly locked on the white paper also showed a somewhat bored and irritable expression, and he probably understood the matter from the beginning to the end. The unlucky ghost also narrowed his eyes coldly when he heard the words.
It's just obvious that, for Jin Heng and Qin Gentiana, apart from letting the ghosts participate in this matter to help clean up Qin Gentiana's innocence in front of the ancestors, they also need to immediately confirm the whereabouts of Meilang and Dengxin at this moment, so as to avoid them There are certain things to be done next, so he frowned and looked at Qin Gentiana who was obviously emotionally unstable on his shoulders, and looked at the ghost again before asking carefully,
"Is the Dead Man's River where Qin Xuan is currently staying somewhere under the Northwest City?"
"Ah? Why, you...you two don't really want to go there..."
"..."
Jin Heng, who didn't say a word, obviously didn't intend to explain so much to him, but the ghost lying on the ground basically understood the expression on his face.
And he rolled his eyes and said, "I can't take you there, I'm a very serious ghost messenger, and I'm very principled in doing things. Before he finished speaking, he was stared at menacingly by the Gentiana chinensis." He closed his mouth in fright, and then he saw Jin Heng holding up the cake in his hand with a blank expression, and suddenly he was speechless and could only wail with a mouthful of national curse,
"Damn!! I'm really scared of you guys!!! There are people in this world who are rushing to die by themselves! All right, all right!! Take you there! Can I take you there!!!"
