In the ancestral hall.

The light here is dim and exudes a dull and decaying smell.

Opposite the door is the altar table, on which are enshrined the spiritual tablets of the direct descendants of the Zhao family, hundreds of them.

In front of the spiritual throne are two extremely thick red candles, which are lit and emit a dim yellow light. This is the only light here.

I glanced at these briefly, and soon my eyes were attracted to another place.

That was on the right side of the altar table, and there was a huge coffin parked there.

This coffin is very special. It is made of bronze. It shines with a cold metallic luster in the dark environment. It is engraved with some strange patterns, including various torture pictures.

The monster with a green face and fangs stuffed the naked woman into the stone mill.

There is also a huge oil pan in which many disheveled people are cooking.

Those torture pictures are so lifelike that those who look at them will have chills running down their spines.

When I looked at these patterns, I felt vaguely familiar. After a while, I finally remembered that in many temples where Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is enshrined, there are often painted pictures of torture like this, in order to comfort the world. There are gods, and the evil accumulated in the world will be repaid in the underworld.

I don’t know why these torture pictures are engraved on this coffin. Maybe there is some mysterious meaning.

Behind the bronze coffin, there was a Taishi chair and a tea table. Unfortunately, the location was too remote, and the candlelight on the table could not be "taken care of" by it. It was almost completely swallowed up by the darkness. I only noticed it at the end. After looking carefully at that corner for a long time, I found that there seemed to be someone sitting on the Taishi chair!

I subconsciously grabbed Xiaodouzi's hand.

Is he the master who is talking to me?

I'm pretending to be calm.

In silence, two green lights lit up in the dark corner, which were a pair of eyes.

"Don't be nervous."

A gloomy and rich male voice sounded in the darkness: "If we have a pleasant conversation, maybe I won't hurt you."

He slowly stood up from the Taishi chair, seemed to shrug, and said: "Although I was angry with you for a while, after all, Zhu Dajun's demise had something to do with you, and I invested in him again. Too much. His death really made me sad for a while, but I decided not to blame you. Who made you the master of the Nine Dragon Sword?"

Got it! !

He was the man in black who dug out Brother Jun and then resurrected him. He was also the driving force behind the whole thing.

Or should be said to be one of the driving forces behind the scenes.

This matter is very complicated, like a game. When I am in it, I can feel that there are many players.

There is no doubt that he is one of them.

He finally came out of the darkness.

When I saw his appearance clearly, I suddenly lost my voice and said, "Master Chen?"

"Master? Do you all call him that? Haha, it seems that we should really restrain them. A slave dares to be so high-profile when he runs out, causing trouble."

"Mr. Chen" shook his head and said: "But it's a pity that the person you are looking for no longer exists. He was wiped out in ashes. He was too cowardly. After you injured him, you actually searched for helpers all over the world. What happened? He made a fuss, caused so much trouble, and finally dared to come to me and disturbed my sleep, so I simply let him evaporate. But the news he brought was of some use. I was about to go find you, but I didn't expect you. I came to the door first."

He seemed to be polyglot, and didn’t need me to speak at all. He talked to himself and told a lot of things. Then he finally came back to his senses from his own world, nodded to me apologetically, and said : "Look at my memory. After talking so much, I forgot to introduce myself. You can call me ghost doctor. I am the master of Mr. Chen you mentioned. Of course, I am also the master of Zhu Dajun."

I don’t know what to say. The man in front of me who is talking eloquently is indeed different from Mr. Chen in nature. I can’t tell what the other person is thinking, so I can only stay silent and guarded.

"It seems that you are not very talkative."

The ghost doctor curled his lips helplessly and sighed: "In this case, then I will just click on the conditions."

After saying that, he grabbed his only arm behind him, and like a magic trick, there was an inexplicable sword scabbard in his hand.

He raised his eyebrows: "Is this what you came here for?"

Buzz!

As soon as the scabbard appeared, the Nine Dragon Sword in my hand began to tremble crazily, and I could no longer hold it.

I took a quick look at the scabbard. Although it was a scabbard, it looked like a scabbard. It matched the style of the Nine Dragon Sword!

This is the scabbard of the Nine Dragon Sword!

"You are the owner of the Nine Dragon Sword. You should know what the scabbard means to it, right?"

The ghost doctor smiled: "Without the scabbard, you can't hold down the sword. Sooner or later, you will be unlucky and die miserably. I think this is an opportunity for us to negotiate and a deal. After all, you want it most. , and the thing you need most is in my hand, what should you give in exchange?"

I really don’t know what the scabbard means, but from the look of the ghost doctor, it doesn’t seem like what he said is fake.

After hesitating for a moment, I spoke for the first time: "What do you want me to do?"

"Of course you are messing with me!"

The ghost doctor suddenly became excited, pulling at his hair, and said: "I want this sword very much, but you gave me a blood sacrifice, so there is no other way. My dog ​​slave thinks I should kill you. , but how can he actually read my thoughts? For me, it doesn’t matter if I can’t get this sword. It’s the same if the owner of this sword messes with me, and it’s even more valuable!”

He spread his hands: "You have to think about it carefully. There are very few masters who are as open-minded as I am. If you meet someone else today, they will definitely kill you!"

This guy is a bit neurotic.

But...it's not as vicious as I imagined.

I tilted my head and looked at him: "What if I don't want to?"

The ghost doctor sighed: "Then there's nothing I can do."

I thought I had angered him and he was about to take action, so I subconsciously raised the Nine Dragon Sword. Unexpectedly, the ghost doctor turned around with his hands behind his back.

I wondered: "Aren't you going to do something?"

"Why should I do something?"

The ghost doctor said seriously: "The omnipotent devil is above me, but I am a serious person who believes in the principle of fairness. You can also see that I never force others to do anything. For example, Zhu Dajun, I promised him many things. He is the one who works for me. You know him and you should know this. Oh my god, I really hate violence!"

I was surprised and asked tentatively: "Then am I really going to leave?"

The ghost doctor stretched out his hand and made a "please" gesture.

Although I didn’t know if it was real or fake, I still wanted to give it a try, so I grabbed Xiaodouzi and turned around and left.

Hooray!

The moment I opened the door, an evil wind blew in my face.

When the wind gradually subsided, I slowly opened my squinted eyes to see clearly the situation outside, and my face suddenly turned cold.

The courtyard was densely packed with people, dead people.

There are the old women and children seen in the old house, as well as two men who exchanged their children for food, and even a man who killed his wife to satisfy his hunger...

These dead people were all standing in the yard, with expressionless faces and eyes staring straight at me.

Logically speaking, they are just like images and have no lethality, but I just feel creepy.

My instinct tells me that if I go out, these things will tear me alive.

Bang!

I slammed the door with a sullen face.

The ghost doctor came up with a smile on his face, full of surprise: "It seems you have decided to cooperate with me? This is really a wise decision, long live fairness!"

This feeling... is worse than eating a dead fly!

Looking at the ghost doctor's face, I felt unspeakably disgusted and disgusted, and nodded fiercely.

It can be delayed for a while. At least it seems that the ghost doctor doesn't want my life now. If I can delay it until Ni Huang comes, I might not have a chance!

I shook my head, thinking this way.

"Here you go!"

The ghost doctor generously gave me the scabbard.

The scabbard is slightly cool in the hand, and looks like stone but not stone, and iron but not iron.

Clang!

The Nine Dragon Sword returned to its sheath and instantly became stable.

Before I could take a closer look, the ghost doctor seemed to be working magic again. He took out a lot of scrolls and pushed them in front of me. He said: "Since you have no problem, then just sign it." Have you signed all the agreements?"

Can this still happen?

I looked at the pile of scrolls in front of me, and my eyes almost fell out. What the **** is this?

I picked up a scroll and was about to read it.

Suddenly, a strange voice came from outside the door: "Ghost Doctor, you are planning to take the owner of the Nine Dragon Sword as your own. Isn't this a little too greedy?"

I looked back and saw that on the window at the door, a dead head had punctured the window paper and was staring at me and the ghost doctor through the hole.

This dead head is the head of Brother Jun’s wife! !
