Chapter 6 Lao Tzu does not accept this kind of money


I don't know what the rules are talking about.,But the figure outside the shroud shop before seemed to be really afraid of this sloppy old man.,If it weren't for him.,Maybe something would have happened tonight.。

Now that I think about it, grandpa is also a little strange.After living with my grandfather for so many years, I never knew that my grandfather actually had some unknown things.For example, my grandfather saw at a glance that I was haunted by resentment, and the incident of driving away the female ghost that night, these things are beyond the scope of my cognition.The sloppy old man had already fallen asleep, and instead of arguing with him, I looked at the yellow lantern hanging on the doorframe, and the corners of my eyes twitched.The human skin lantern corpse is on fire, no wonder the little candle has been burned for so long and has not been burned, where did grandpa get this thing, he asked me to hang the lantern for the purpose of luring this sloppy old man over, I don't understand, I have too many doubts in my heart, and the more I think about it, the more confused I become.Finally, I took a deep breath and shook my head, letting the clutter of thoughts go unto the back of my mind.I walked over to the glass counter in the store, lay on the counter in a daze, and after a long time, my eyes were on my backpack.My eyes lit up, and I hurriedly opened my backpack and pulled out a black box from my backpack, which was the one that my grandfather treasured.When I was a child, I was curious about what was in my grandfather's black box and wanted to open it, but my grandfather found it before I could open it.That was the first time my grandfather was angry at me since I can remember, and I haven't had the idea of hitting this black box since.At this time, after taking out the black box, the curiosity in my heart couldn't help it, and I pressed the hidden button on the black box and opened the box.In the black box, there was a book lying quietly, and on the top of the book, two words were printed: I was stunned for a while, but I didn't expect that the items in this black box, which was regarded as a treasure by my grandfather, turned out to be just a book.The book is not very thick, the tentacles are soft and elastic, it is not made of ordinary paper, this touch, more like I glanced at the yellow lantern on the door frame, the corners of my eyes twitched violently, and the instinctive reaction threw the book directly to the ground.Human skin, this book is made of human skin, and just when my heart was beating wildly and frightened, the book that I threw on the ground was picked up, and that person was the sloppy old man.The sloppy old man, who had been sleeping heavily, came to my side at some point, and when he picked up the book made of human skin, his face became strange.He flipped through the contents of the book, and the strange look on his face became more and more intense.I already knew that the sloppy old man was not an ordinary person, and after seeing his strange appearance, I didn't dare to make a noise to him.The shop was silent, save for the slight movement of him flipping through a book.After a long time, he closed the book, his face was lonely, and he muttered: "Daozang dog's day, I actually met it" Then, he looked at me, his eyes were very complicated, and his tone was a little strange and said: "Boy, you are really lucky, if it is according to my previous temper, maybe you will forget it, you are old, there is nothing to fight for" After speaking, he looked at the book in his hand, his eyes showed a little hesitation and entanglement, and a trace of reluctance, he threw the book directly into my arms, and said: "Hide it, Don't be seen by others, not everyone in this world is as kind as Lao Tzu" After the sloppy old man said these brainless words, he turned around and walked directly to the corner of the wall, and lay there again and fell asleep.After such a toss by the sloppy old man, I am also curious about this so-called Taoist treasure, although I feel disgusted and frightened by the material of this book, but I am not stupid, looking at the sloppy old man like this, I know that this book is definitely a rare treasure.I cautiously opened the book, and when I saw the first page, I was confused.What the hell is something like a ghost drawing talisman on it, I can't understand it at all.Next to those ghost symbols, there are some text annotations, the problem is that I don't know this kind of text, it looks like the kind of oracle bone script in ancient times.I looked at the back pages and saw them all the same, all the ghostly patterns and some strange fonts.I don't understand what this Daozang is, and I want to ask the sloppy old man, but the old guy's snoring has already sounded, and I have dispelled this idea in my heart.No matter what the book is, it's a treasure that my grandfather treasures, and I have to keep it safe.As soon as I thought about it, my heart began to feel uncomfortable again.My grandfather's life and death were uncertain, but I could only stay here and do nothing, and a deep sense of powerlessness filled my heart.As soon as the sad mood rose in my heart, I suddenly thought of something, and my eyes lit up as I looked at the sloppy old man sleeping in the corner.I'm so stupid, I'm so stupid to feel sorry for myself here, the ready-made master is here, I can beg him Although I don't know how capable the sloppy old man is, but after last night's scene, I still have a lot of confidence in the sloppy old man.I can beg him to take me back to the village and see if I can find my grandfather.As soon as this thought rose, my heart was like a weed, scratching my heart with a hundred claws.If it weren't for the fact that it was late at night, and if it weren't for the fear of upsetting the scruffy old man by waking him up, I would have called him up.Now I can only wait anxiously, waiting for the dawn, waiting for the sloppy old man to wake up.Time passed little by little, it was definitely a torment for me, and finally when the sky was bright, I hurriedly took back the yellow lantern hanging on the door frame, ran out of the shroud shop, and bought some soy milk fritters at the breakfast stall not far away.Back at the shroud shop, I cautiously woke up the sloppy old man.The old man was sleepy-eyed, and when he saw the soy milk fritters I was carrying in my hand, he suddenly snatched them up and devoured them.When he had eaten and drunk enough, I cautiously made my request and looked at him with anxious expectant eyes.He squinted at me, with a smile on his face, and said, "It's not impossible to do you a favor, but what do you do to repay me" I was slightly stunned, and then hurriedly ran to the glass counter to rummage through the contents of my grandfather's bag.Grandpa is not used to keeping money in the bank, basically at home, I found a cloth bag in my grandfather's bag, there are about a few thousand dollars scattered in it.I hurriedly ran to the old man with the thousands of dollars and handed them to him.As a result, the old man didn't even look at it, shook his head, and said, "It's not enough" Nima, this old guy is still sitting on the ground.I gritted my teeth and took out a check from my pocket, it was the one Li Hu gave me, a full 100,000 yuan, and handed it over.I'm afraid that he doesn't know the check, I also deliberately explained: "This is a check for 100,000 yuan, it's enough" The old man's eyes narrowed, he smiled, and said: "This kind of money, Lao Tzu doesn't accept it" "Then what do you want" I was anxious and angry, and said: "I only have so much" "I don't want money" The old man looked at me, his eyes flashed a strange light, and said: "My request is very simple, I'll tell you after I help you with this, you can't refuse at that time" If it was before, I would definitely hesitate, After all, I don't know what kind of conditions he will propose, and I will inevitably have no bottom in my heart.But now, I can't care about anything else, and the most important thing is to find my grandfather."

Okay" I didn't hesitate at all, I agreed very simply, and said: "As long as it's not murder and arson, you can let me do anything" I agreed without hesitation, but he shook his head lightly, sighed, and muttered something in his mouth, I didn't hear clearly."

Let's go, let's go to your village and have a look" The old man walked out of the door of the shroud shop, and said to me in a somewhat vague tone: "Is it a coincidence or is it deliberate, is it interesting that your grandfather calculated that I would come here?"
