Midnight Bookstore - Chapter 303
Chapter 303: Landlord
Zhou Ze stood where he was and didn’t move. He wasn’t scared by such a scene. Boss Zhou even reached out his finger and tried to stir it into the mouth of the face.
He opened the lips,
there were teeth inside, but not just teeth,
there was also solid sand.
This was a face that was filled with sand. It was exquisite and firm, and its expression was frozen. It was like a “Stone sculpture”standing there.
“F * ck!”
The old Daoist just casually looked in the direction of the boss. When he saw the face in the bark, he was so scared that he shivered. Then, he saw the boss actually using his finger to tease the small mouth of that face,
he was so scared that the old Daoist shivered again.
Zhang Yanfeng took a deep breath and walked over. He suppressed the discomfort in his heart and said,
“This is one of the people who died in the tomb at the beginning.”
“OH.”
Zhou ze replied,
he nodded.
Things had gotten a little serious.
Even though boss Zhou had just casually reached out to stir the tomb to see what was inside, in reality, that was only because Zhou Ze’s brain had gone a little haywire just now and he hadn’t thought about it at all.
Now that he was thinking about it..,
then..,
thinking about it was extremely terrifying.
The Little Loli had chosen to treat Zhou Ze as a sucker in the beginning and “Use it up and destroy it”because the Little Loli felt that Zhou Ze had a lot of tricks up his sleeve.
In reality, if it weren’t for the incident that night in Chengdu, Zhou Ze wouldn’t have had the chance to turn the tables on him.
Because of this, after seeing this scene, Zhou ze began to understand that even he wasn’t qualified to handle this matter.
Xu Qinglang had specially found some old ghost stories for Zhou Ze. Some of them were more famous, such as “Search for spirit”, “Strange Tales from a lonely studio”, and “Notes from Yuewei Cottage”, there were also other works that were not famous and were not well-known in the literary world.
Zhou ze remembered that one of these passages seemed to have been written by a Ming dynasty author:
“Those who have the land, enjoy the water and the soil, and protect the peace of the land
However, the land will not be sealed, and will be filled with mountain spirits and wild ghosts
Those who dare to blaspheme..,
use the grass and trees as a rope, stand in front of the temple, and warn the latter.”
What did the Ming dynasty author do? What was his specific occupation? Even if it was a man or a woman, no one knew. After all, writing novels in that era was considered unfashionable by society at that time
For example, no one knew who the person who wrote “Jin * *”, Lan Ling Xiaosheng, was.
For example, once the original author of “The story of * * *”exposed his identity, what awaited him might be the crime of spreading silver-gray information.
Xu Qinglang had collected a lot of such books for Zhou Ze. Zhou Ze had read very few of them, but he had finished reading this book. Because this book was very detailed, it had illustrations!
Basically, every page had illustrations. Boss Zhou could read the illustrations like when he was a child, so he was not tired.
The “Land”written by the original author was the old man that sun monkey often stomped his feet on the ground in “Journey to the west.”.
In the original author’s words, he meant that small gods like the land were not actually banned by the heavenly court because the officials were too small and not as good as the current ones. It was a little similar to the current auxiliary police, who had to do the most difficult and tiring grassroots work despite their low salaries.
Now, it could be considered that it was becoming more formal. In the past, there were many local ruffians and hooligans in the joint defense teams of many places.
According to the author’s view, the land was made up of mountain spirits, wild spirits, and wild ghosts. Usually, they could enjoy incense and also bless the local weather and other things, but their natures could not be changed. Once someone offended them.., they would immediately return the favor. They would kill the person and use the grass and trees as ropes to bind the person in front of their temple, warning future people not to do it again.
Zhou Ze remembered the illustration that the author drew in the book with a brush. It was very funny, like the children in the children’s program who liked to perform in the clothes of big trees.
But now..,
zhou ze saw the “Real thing”.
Zhou ze stretched out his hand and pointed at another tree that was level with the tree.
The old priest went over and reached out to wipe the bark, but he used too little strength. Moreover, the old priest had already guessed what kind of thing he was going to scrape. He was a little flustered, so he didn’t dare to use too much strength.
Instead, Zhang Yanfeng directly came up and started to scrape with his own key. Soon, a human face appeared.
“It’s another person.”
Zhang Yanfeng confirmed.
The two people who died in the tomb appeared in the tree.
Zhou ze stuck out his tongue and licked his lips,
these six idiots..,
could they really be courting death by digging up the Earth Lord’s Grave?
This kind of courting death method was no less than dancing on the highway. If you didn’t die, who would?
Zhou Ze took a deep breath,
zhou Ze walked to the young man’s dead soul and moved him behind him. Then, he slowly bent down and reached out to pick up a handful of mud on the ground.
Under the thin layer of mud was a broken tablet. The words written on it couldn’t be seen clearly. It gave off an extremely ancient feeling.
“Huff… huff… Huff… Huff…”
In the forest,
a gust of chilly wind suddenly blew.
In journey to the west, the images of the land lords were all very kind and amiable, but that was because they were facing great sage Sun.
It was just like how most leaders were humble and friendly when facing higher leaders, but when facing you..
Zhou ze slowly straightened his body and did not continue digging.
“What’s wrong? is that tomb just below?”Zhang Yanfeng asked.
“Come back here and don’t disturb the boss.”
The old Taoist also sensed that something was wrong. He grabbed Zhang Yanfeng and pulled him to his side, not letting him go forward.
“Land Duke, they offended you. They deserved to die. Out of six people, five have already died. The remaining one is also stupid. Can you calm down now?”
Thinking from another perspective..,
if your ancestral grave, oh no, your grave, was dug up, would you want to pick up a knife and fight those grave robbers to the death?
If it was in the United States, you could even shoot him for trespassing. Of course, this was a haunted house, but this haunted house had an owner.
What happened to the priest who stole Zhou Ze’s ashes back then?
He had been turned upside down by Zhou Ze in the bookstore.
If it was a vengeful spirit, Zhou Ze wouldn’t mind taking care of it and sending him to hell. However, since the landlord might be angry, boss Zhou could only greet him here,
“Hello, Hello, Hello, everyone. Just treat it as a visit from a neighbor.”
“Or a networking event from the neighboring unit.”
The Little Loli had once said that although Tongcheng was a small place, it was definitely not a place where a few ghosts could keep their word. Back then, before Madam Bai went to Hell, she had also known madam Bai, but they had always stayed out of each other’s way.
At this moment..,
the old Daoist’s body suddenly trembled, and as if he had gone crazy, white foam began to come out of his mouth. The old Daoist was also a shrewd person. He knew that something was wrong, so he immediately reached into his crotch. He immediately took out a ancestral talisman and stuck it on his forehead.
In an instant..,
he felt refreshed and refreshed. It was easy to go up to the fifth floor in one breath.
“Damn it, how Dare You Touch My Body!”
The old Daoist had been possessed back then. When he was at the General Mountain, he had to rely on Cao Ding’s heroic soul to get rid of the abnormal movements of the three sets of warrior armor
Therefore, the old Daoist had experience, and he knew what that feeling meant.
The Old Priest was fine..,
however, Zhang Yanfeng, who was concerned about the old priest just now, began to tremble as if he had Parkinson’s disease. However, the trembling only lasted for a short period of time before it disappeared.
Zhang Yanfeng was still standing on the spot.
“Hey!”
The old priest immediately jumped far away and stared at Zhang Yanfeng vigilantly.
“What’s Wrong?”
Zhang Yanfeng was a little confused.
“Eh, you’re fine too?”The old priest scratched his head and asked in puzzlement.
“He’s a member of the public and a good policeman. He’s full of righteousness. Although he’s not wearing a police uniform, the national emblem has always been on his head. You Can’t get into his body.”
Zhou ze said.
This sounded like he was explaining to the old priest and Zhang Yanfeng,
it also sounded like he was explaining to the land lord.
The other party was probably looking for someone to get into his body..,
to chat,
to talk,
to act pretentious,
to “Hello”twice into the microphone, to give a speech or something like that.
But the old Taoist had ancestral talismans to protect him, and Zhang Yanfeng was also a people’s policeman.
Just like what was described in the book, the Land Lord was nothing more than a low-level official that the mountain spirits and wild monsters used to fill in the numbers. At the end of the day, his temper that could casually kill people for revenge would not be too good, so he wanted to possess the bodies of these two people,
it would be difficult.
But then..,
zhou Ze felt the wind around him begin to gather around him,
a mysterious aura began to attack Zhou Ze.
This was..,
he was planning to possess him?
Zhou ze spread out his hands,
he did not resist..,
he only opened his mouth and said, “The only one who has the right to communicate with you here is me. If you possess my body, who can talk to you?”
The old priest suddenly pointed at Zhang Yanfeng and said, “Maybe he wants to talk to the government.”
“…”Zhou Ze.
The wind was getting faster and faster,
the Aura was getting closer and closer.
“I’m Ghost Messenger,”Zhou Ze emphasized.
“Yin si dog slave ear, how dare you call yourself an official!”
An old and mischievous voice came from somewhere. Neither the old priest nor Zhang Yanfeng heard it, only Zhou Ze himself heard it.
It seemed that..,
this Land Lord had to possess him,
moreover, the old priest’s guess just now might not be nonsense.
The local officials of the ancient imperial court would organize the renovation of local local temples, such as the Chenghuang Temple,
this time, this land Lord’s lair was invaded by six tomb raiders,
if he really wanted to talk to the government and the government to help him rebuild a temple so that he could enjoy the incense more conveniently, it was not without reason.
In addition to the tone in which he evaluated himself..,
it was obvious that he did not take him, the lowest-ranking official in the underworld, seriously,
he did not want to have a conversation with him, talk about wine, talk about mulberry, or something like that,
he just wanted to use his physical body to negotiate.
Zhou ze heaved a long sigh of relief,
he still did not resist, because he felt that he did not need to resist at all,
he just said very calmly,
“Sir, if you take my body, something bad will happen.”
Because inside his body..,
there was already a guy with a very bad temper,
if he was woken up..,
things would not be so wonderful.
But Sir’s temper was bad,
it was easy for people to become stubborn as they got older,
obviously, they did not listen to Zhou Ze’s words,
zhou ze only felt a chill on his spine,
“Hiss…”
