Chapter 124: Encounter with the Soul Hook Again

  Hei Bai Wu Chang, also known as Wu Chang Er Ye, has a legendary story behind it. The two were good brothers when they were alive, known as "Qi Ye" and "Ba Ye". It is said that Xie Fan had sworn brotherhood since childhood, and their relationship was like that of hands and feet. One day, the two walked together to the Nan Tai Bridge, and just as it was about to rain, Qi Ye asked Ba Ye to wait for a moment while he went home to fetch an umbrella. Unexpectedly, after Qi Ye left, a thunderstorm poured down, causing the river to swell rapidly, and Ba Ye, not wanting to miss their appointment, was drowned due to his short stature. Soon after, Qi Ye rushed back with the umbrella, but Ba Ye had already disappeared. Qi Ye was overcome with grief and hanged himself on the bridge pillar (hence many depictions of Bai Wu Chang have a long red tongue sticking out). The King of Hell praised their deep fraternal bond and ordered them to capture lawless individuals in front of the City God. Some say that Xie Bi An means "to thank the gods, then all will be safe", while Fan Wu Jiu means "those who break the law will surely have no escape".

  In a 24-hour barbecue shop, two thugs sat opposite me and Lao Yi. We were already scared to the point where we felt our crotches getting wet. What the hell, who isn't afraid of death?

  Although I don't know if the relationship between these two is as legendary as the rumors, but I do know that if they want to take me and Lao Yi down, it would be a piece of cake. When I went home for Chinese New Year, I chatted with Ninth Uncle about them and found out that Xie Bi'an is greedy for wealth and Fan Wujiu loves to fight - these two characteristics are well-known. That's why they're called 'Instant Wealth' and 'Peace on Earth'.

  Because I didn't know what kind of tricks Old Xie had up his sleeve, neither Old Yi nor I dared to make a sound, just like those unfortunate students in middle school who got caught by the teacher for looking at *** during class.

  At this time, Xie Bi'an let out a cold snort and said unclearly: "How come, are you letting your two masters drink like this?"

  I suddenly realized, damn it, I forgot about this! The wine can't be drunk without stirring it with a willow branch! Just as I thought of this, the black-clothed Fan Wujue suddenly shouted: "You must die!!"

  !!!! When I heard this sentence, Lao Yi and I were about to pass out. Could it be that just because we forgot to prepare willow tree branches for these two old men, our lives would be lost?

  To know that this is the gap in strength, I and Lao Yi were so scared that we almost hugged each other. Lao Yi was even more exaggerated, from just now to now he hasn't said a word, but kept panting heavily, the cilantro in his nose didn't know when it had already sprayed out, and his eyes were moist.

  But I think it's not possible to just wait for death like this, if I die like this, that would be too humiliating. So I hastily got up and said to these two ancestors: "Stop stop stop!!! Great grandfather, calm down!!! I'll go find the willow tree now! I'm going now!!"

  But Fan Wu looked at me with a cruel gaze, nodded and said: "You must die!!!"

  After hearing what he said, I was suddenly scared again. What the hell is this? Are you not allowed to live anymore? Is there no king's law anymore? Old Yi was even more exaggerated and almost cried out loud.

  Just as I didn't know what to do, Xie Bizheng, who was wearing white clothes, said to me in a sarcastic tone: "Young man, my brother just asked you, why haven't you gone to find him yet? My brother only knows how to say 'must die'."

  “··················································。”

  Damn it, scared me to death! I said why this Black No Constant keeps repeating this sentence back and forth, turns out it only knows how to say this one sentence!

  I wiped away the cold sweat, it was just a false alarm. So I nodded at Lao Yi and then got up to push open the door and walked out onto the main street. I looked at my watch, it was almost 3 am. Fortunately, there were willow trees planted on both sides of the road. This is really heaven saving me, if they had planted poplar trees instead, then Lao Yi and I would have been doomed to die.

  I didn't say much, I still don't know why these two old men came here, it can't be just for a drink. So I quickly broke off a branch from the willow tree and headed back. As I walked, I felt that going back like this wasn't quite right, so I thought about it and ran to the flower pot by the road to pick up a brick. Dammit, if things don't go well later, I'll first slap Old Xie's forehead for 10 bucks, now I just don't know if it will work or not, but at least it's better than nothing. So I smashed the brick into small pieces on the ground and picked up two of them to put in my pocket. After that, I went back inside the barbecue shop.

  Lao Yi looked at me as if he had seen a lifesaver the moment I returned. After all, no one wanted to be alone with two ghosts of death. I sat down and stirred their wine cups with the willow branch while saying, "Two gentlemen, I'm really sorry. Please take your time now."

  Only to see Xie Bi'an stretch out his tongue and dip it into the wine cup, then pull it back out again. As for Fan Wujiu, he raised the cup and drank it all in one gulp, but when he put the cup down, the wine inside was still full to the brim. It seems that these two guys only drink the essence of the wine, just like my family's Huang Santai. Fortunately, the two waiters didn't notice this side, otherwise they would have been scared by the cups floating in mid-air.

  Fan Wujiu slammed his cup on the table and shouted at me and Lao Yi: "You must die!!"

  Damn it, he scared me and Lao Yi again. I innocently looked at Xie Bi'an, only to see him use his tongue to pick up a string of beef skewers, and slowly and unclearly say: "My brother means good wine, let's have another cup."

  I'm going, scared me to death, this Fan Ye is too fierce, if it goes on like this, even if they don't hook up with Lao Yi and me, Lao Yi and I will be scared into getting heart disease.

  To say that Xie Bizheng is quite fierce, these three words can actually be heard to mean something, it's really unbearable. To say that this is the strong dragon suppressing the local snake, at least I and Lao Yi, these two lazy snakes, were pressed down hard, how dare I slack off? Busy pouring out the water in their cups that had already lost its wine flavor, re-mixing two new cups with willow branches.

  Only to see Fan Wujin starting to devour the pot of braised pork belly, he didn't even fear being scalded, as if he had just been reborn from a starving ghost. Meanwhile, Xie Bizheng held his cup of wine and said to me in an eerie tone: "You young one, you have quite a big nerve!"

  What's wrong with me? How did I become so bold? His words made me stunned, although I understand the principle that a person's courage is as big as their yield, but I and Lao Yi have always been very law-abiding, why does he ask me this way? Is it because Yu Xi's affair was exposed? No, Yu Xi didn't die either, and marrying in secret is normal.

  Just as I was getting anxious about what kind of trouble had fallen into the hands of this unpredictable old man, Xie Bizheng spoke up again. He said: "You're still acting like nothing's wrong? You young whippersnapper! Last time your father asked you to burn incense for two foreign women, he clearly told you one was Japanese and the other was Filipino, but you actually brought back two Japanese women to fool him!"

  Good heavens! So it was because of this matter! You say I'm wronged, but I didn't know that either. The flower wreath shop had them custom-made, and they're all yellow-skinned people, where the hell can I go to verify their nationality?

  So I couldn't help but laugh and cry as I said to Xie Bi'an: "Lord Xie, please be wise! This matter really isn't my fault. Besides... how did you know those two paper men were Japanese? It seems like the language below is a unified ghostly script."

  Xie Bi'an snorted and said to me in a fierce tone: "What do you know, you young whippersnapper? How could Master not see that those two paper men are Japanese? When his servant was serving him, all he knew how to shout was 'Rubbish!' - what else could they be but Japanese?"

  I think I'm sweating again, this is also too ridiculous.

  At this time, Fan Wujiao had already eaten the tripe in the pot. Seeing Old Xie speaking to us like that, he also shouted at us: "You must die!!"

  For crying out loud, can't you be less intimidating? Xie Bi'an sneered at me and said: "My brother meant that we've eaten our fill, fine, I won't make things difficult for you either, lest you two think I'm bullying you. How about this: tomorrow or the day after, burn four incense sticks for me, any country's will do, and I'll let you off, how's that?

  Blackmail, this is blatant blackmail! Damn it! I looked at these two moody guys and suddenly lost my words. They wouldn't have found us just because of this little thing, would they?

  I thought for a moment, the four paper men didn't cost much money, so I nodded and asked tentatively: "No problem! No problem!! This time we must satisfy the two masters. By the way, the two masters are busy with affairs, in the future such small matters can be handled by sending someone to notify us, why bother you two to come in person?"

  Xie Bi'an's face suddenly changed from cloudy to sunny upon seeing that I had agreed to its request. It can't be helped but said, this is indeed a case of being moody. Only then did it smile and say to me: "Good you, young junior, do you think the two old masters of your household are so bored that they came here for just a few women?"

  After finishing speaking, Xie Bizheng took out a book-like thing from his long gown. I subconsciously felt that this thing was the legendary Book of Life and Death. Seeing Xie Bizheng flip through the book, he nodded to Fan Wuzu beside him and said, "The time is almost up."

  That Fan nodded in agreement with his brother's words, then got up and walked towards the young men and women who were still indulging in revelry at a distant table. Of course, they couldn't see Old Fan.

  Fan Wu suddenly walked up to the girl wearing blue stockings and shouted at her: "You must die!!!"

  Its voice was very loud, and it actually shook my and Lao Yi's ears buzzing. After seeing it shouting, the blue stockings girl responded and fell to the ground, then her soul floated out and was caught by Lao Fan.

  Lao Yi and I were stunned, and at this time, Xie Bi'an told Lao Yi and me the reason why they came here. It turned out that it was just a simple soul hooking, and running into us was just a coincidence.

  I let out a sigh of relief with Lao Yi, so it was like that after all. What a false alarm.

  After the girl fell to the ground, the two men and two women beside the table suddenly panicked, rushed forward to support her, only to find that she had already stopped breathing. They might not have been familiar with each other, probably met at a nightclub. And they were all young kids, so they were scared out of their wits, let out a loud cry, and ran out of the barbecue shop. The waiter in the barbecue shop saw something was wrong, immediately dialed 120 (emergency number).

  I saw that someone had actually died, it seems that this meal is not going to end well. So I shouted at the waiter: "Check!" You know, there's a dead person in the store, how can ordinary people not be afraid? The waiter seemed to have not heard me, just holding the phone and trembling non-stop. The middle-aged man at the next table had already run away without paying, clearly. I sighed, this guy's quality is really something.

  I tossed 150 yuan on the table, which should be enough. At this time, Fan Wujie had already pulled out a black paper mourning dress from his clothes and wrapped it around the little girl's soul. The two of them stood up and said to me: "Let's go, what are you waiting for? We have something to talk about outside."
