Chapter 6
"How will you be here?!"
The other party's tone was surprised and angry, obviously knowing Guanghan.
"He can't go with you." Guang Han said, calmly speaking.
"You want to rob someone?"
"You can try."
Few words, swords drawn.
The other party's eyes were gloomy and he stared at Guang Han for a long time.
“要打就放马过来,回头就算闹大了,你私自抓活人当差,怎么都要罚个刀山火海走上几年吧!哈哈哈哈咕呱,谁怕谁!”
The colorful strange bird appeared out of nowhere, and fluttered twice as if it was about to land on Guanghan's shoulder.
Guanghan seemed to be aware of it, and glanced at it slightly sideways.
The strange bird sneered twice, and the persimmon pinched softly, taking He Shu's shoulder as a foothold.
The man on the horse slowly rolled his eyes and stared at He Shu for a long time.
Those pair of eyes were much more frightening than the one who stared at him from the car window just now. Most of the eyes were white, with only a little bluish black in the middle. It was like digging out the eyes of some strange creature and putting them on it alive, not at all. It seems to grow in the human body.
He Shu knew that he was not completely dreaming now.
From time immemorial, people often go to the underworld while sleeping, or encounter some gods and monsters. When they wake up, there are objects brought from their dreams by their pillows. He Shu is now in such a state of "out of body". .
To be able to go out safely, open your eyes and stay in bed, safe and sound, and have a false alarm;
If it is really left behind, then it is estimated that the remnant of the body is left outside, either a vegetable or a living dead.
To be honest, before he saw Guanghan and the strange bird, he was not sure that he would be able to escape. These people in front of him seemed to be evil, but they were not like ordinary evil.
He Shu was even ready to use the magic spell that he hadn't used for a long time - although he didn't want to use it at all, isn't it a very important time now, and he has to explain it here without his life.
"Forget it, in the face of Miaofa Yuanjun, I will send you a favor."
I don't know if it's because of the tyrannical momentum of my own side, or if the strange bird's words worked, but the other side was actually cowardly.
He Shu breathed a sigh of relief.
Although he is not familiar with Guanghan and strange birds, but after all, he has dealt with the underworld, and compared to these underworld creatures, it still makes people feel a little closer.
"Thank you, why are you here?"
"You still owe me a beef brisket stew with potatoes, can I not come?" The strange bird said first.
"Last time I finished cooking and went to knock on the door opposite, but I couldn't find you." He Shu didn't take the pot.
"That's because the owner has done renovations in the past, and we can't live in—"
The strange bird stopped abruptly, as if realizing what he had exposed.
He Shu is not surprised, he has long known that this person may not be a serious tenant living there at all.
"And then?" the monster asked.
"What later?"
"That pot of stewed beef brisket with potatoes, did you solve it by yourself?"
"I made too much, I couldn't finish one meal, so I divided it into three meals." He almost died.
The strange bird blinked: "You haven't solved the trouble on your body yet. Sooner or later, the demon will come to the door. With these people just now, can you handle it alone?"
He Shu followed its words: "I can't seem to deal with it."
The strange bird is earnest and enticing: "Look, living alone has too many disadvantages, no one to talk to you, you will be autistic; no one helps you eat, you will become a rice bucket; no one helps you fight monsters, you will die sooner or later; As it is now, the soul is retained, the body slowly decays, and no one finds it until the stench is smoked out a month later, and the neighbors call the police..."
"Stop!" He Shu stopped it from continuing to describe, "Do you want to come and live with me? Don't you have a place to live now?"
"Don't say it as if we are homeless, I don't think you have a fate and want to give you a hand!" The boss of the strange bird was not happy.
He Shu didn't understand the origin of this person and bird, but his intuition told him that the other party was not malicious, otherwise he would have solved himself ten times or eight times by living in the opposite side for so long.
"I have a room there..."
"You see, he invited us, not Lao Tzu!" The strange bird turned to the man and said.
He Shu: …
Guang Han didn't speak, he looked at He Shu and seemed to be waiting for him to confirm.
Before He Shu agreed, he woke up.
Is it really a dream?
As soon as the thought came, there was a knock on the door.
He got up with a mess of hair and went to open the door.
The man named Guanghan, and the strange bird squatting on his shoulder, stared at him with four eyes.
"Hello." The strange bird greeted.
He Shu: "...Come in for a cup of tea?"
"Then I'm welcome!" The strange bird rattled twice and flew into the living room. "Is there any hot tea? The kind with some sugar."
"Excuse me." The man nodded at He Shu, walked in and sat on the sofa.
You two are really welcome, He Shu wiped his face and smiled bitterly to himself.
Waking up was like a nightmare, but he also knew very well that if it weren't for this person and one bird, he would have really fallen into a dream and would never be able to wake up again. Maybe after half a month, the neighbors would be stunned by smelling the peculiar smell. Call the police……
He Shu forcibly pulled his train of thought back, looking at the two uninvited guests who were obviously looking for him to honor his life-saving grace.
"I'll say it first, I'm not wealthy, and I have to pay the mortgage..."
"I can pay the rent, according to the market price." Before He Shu could say the latter, Guanghan had already said, "I only live for three months. After three months, we will leave."
Online car-hailing drivers are actually very hard, getting up early in the dark, and unable to schedule three meals.
But He Shu is an exception. Like him, fishing for three days and two days of net work, he is destined to not be able to earn as much as other drivers. He usually pays a mortgage plus daily consumption, and his monthly income is not spent, thanks to himself. There is still a little savings, and now it is a good thing that someone is willing to share the rent.
But where to rent is not rent, why do you have to come here yourself?
No amount of unspeakable concealment can explain it.
Guang Han seemed to be aware of his question and said lightly, "I don't have an ID card."
These days, you need an ID card for everything, and you need to show your ID if you want to rent a house. Otherwise, the landlord would dare to rent out the house. If he can't turn his head, he will call the police. No wonder he can't rent the house.
He Shu: "Are you a wanted criminal?"
Guanghan: "No."
He Shu: "Is it a human?"
Guanghan: "Currently."
He Shu: …
Is it now, wasn't it before?
He fixed his eyes and saw Guanghan's shadow growing under him - ghosts have no shadows, they are indeed people at present.
All indications are that this man, even if he is human, is not an ordinary person.
He met Guanghan's eyes, unable to see the end at a glance.
There are many secrets hidden in the other party, just like he is reluctant to bring up the past.
Everyone has some unspeakable secrets. There are too many such people in the city. You never know if your boss in a suit is a fox in human skin.
"You don't know how to do things yourself, so why do you always think about the light and the heavy, and look forward to the future? With a phoenix like me living here for three months, isn't it enough for you to flourish!"
The strange bird was very dissatisfied with He Shu's contemplation.
"Since he couldn't live in the opposite door, he moved under the overpass, thinking that I am a dignified phoenix, an ancient bird, and he actually wanted to accompany him to eat and eat fast food full of waste oil. I couldn't eat a single bite. , quack woo woo woo!"
Speaking of the back, there is still a cry.
He Shu didn't expect this person to go to the bridge to live on the flyover.
Guanghan took out a stack of RMB from his pocket and put it on the table. At first glance, it was more than 2,000 yuan. According to the local rental price, it was almost enough to pay this month's rent.
He Shu cautiously picked up one and sniffed it close.
It is the taste of RMB, not the coin.
"Where did the money come from?"
At that moment, He Shu had already thought of all kinds of ways to get money, and even the five ghosts came out.
"Moving bricks at the construction site, and washing dishes at the restaurant." Guang Han gave the most simple answer.
He Shu: …
Some small construction sites and small restaurants do also accept black workers, but they get less money, but he can't associate Guanghan's face with the restaurant's dishwashing black workers.
The strange bird is still twittering.
"I originally wanted him to live in those small hotels without an ID card. He thought it was too expensive! Do you think I would be happy to live there, those places are not dirty, the quilt covers and pillows have not been washed for a few months, and you can go in there. I smelled a musty smell, and I felt like I didn't take ten showers enough! And you know, once in Guanghantu, I stayed in a cheap hotel for ten yuan a day. As soon as I walked in, I found that the boss was sitting on the shoulders of two people. What a ghost, follow wherever you go, get your grievances all over the place, and make people unable to live in it, it's better to be comfortable under the overpass!"
He Shu's mouth twitched when he heard it: "With two ghosts sitting on the shoulders, can people still live a normal life?"
The strange bird shook his head and shook his head: "That's why the boss always said that his shoulder hurts. He thought it was because his shoulder and neck were strained. The two ghosts sucked his energy every day, and they would consume him to death sooner or later. Business is bad and hardly anyone goes except us."
He Shu: "Didn't you remind him?"
The strange bird said: "Everything must have a cause and effect, why do you think this is so? The hotel is his own house. When building the house, he was greedy for cheap and used some cheap materials. Later, the typhoon and rainstorm partially collapsed the wall and crushed it. Two passers-by died, the boss lost some money to clear up the relationship, and suppressed the matter. This happened early, and it was easy to cover up in the past, but the hotel business has started to decline since then. He thought it was the expansion of roads around the hotel The reason, in fact, comes from himself.”
He Shu: "How do you know how many details?"
The strange bird is proud: "I heard what the hotel staff and neighbors said."
This information is definitely not something that can be obtained in just a few gossips, it can only be summed up by spending time with the seven aunts and eight aunts all day long, which shows that this bird is very gossip.
He Shu still had some calculations in his mind.
"How about this, I'll give you a discount, 1,000 rent per month is enough, including food and lodging, but now I'm being entangled by demons, I don't know if I can live through these few months, how long you can live, it's up to you Depends on how long I can live."
The implication is, you can't just watch your landlord be so cold, can you?
From Guanghan's previous behavior and the conversation with the strange bird, He Shu knew that the other party must have a way to deal with the monster, it just depends on whether he wants to do it or not.
After saying this, the other party remained silent for a long time, and He Shu was so stared at, thinking that Guang Han thought the deal was not a good deal—that’s right, the rent is cheaper, and the landlord’s life has to be saved, and he would rather continue to sleep overpass.
Just when he was considering whether to bargain to reduce the rent in exchange for his life, Guang Han suddenly asked: "What is your relationship with Gezao Mountain?"
He Shu was puzzled, thought for a while, and shook his head: "I heard from my grandfather that my great-grandfather was born in the Yunhai Mountain Zhixu sect. It was so awesome back then, but I couldn't find this place at all."
"During the Northern Song Dynasty, Maoshan, Longhushan, and Gezaoshan were called the three major talisman sects, and they flourished for a while. Zaoshan's way of speaking is lost, and the Zhixu School has become the only inheritance of the way of saying."
After Guanghan finished speaking, his eyes fixed on him.
"The spell you used at the chaotic boundary of Yin and Yang before came from the way of speaking."
Words follow the law, as the name suggests, the law is determined by words, and the law follows the words, and everything follows.
It comes from talismans, and it is different from talismans. According to legend, it originated in ancient times. Nuwa taught people the magic method. After Cangjie created characters, he put characters in tones, used the shape of characters as a spell, and used words as weapons. It was Zhang Daoling at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty who made the most of the technique. It is said that he has the eighteen-character mantra, which can do everything from wind, rain, thunder and lightning, to turning a little bean into a soldier.
Like the six-character mantra of Buddhism, such as the Japanese mantra, they all have the same principle, but they have been spread one after another in various places, and each has its own family.
Legend has it that those who have learned this way deeply can often arouse thunder and fire, or even more magnificent changes, just by uttering a single word.
As soon as He Shu heard this, he knew that Guanghan's family was clear and knowledgeable.
Since he could remember, his grandfather was not very happy to talk about his past, but he was also reluctant to lose his Taoism and waste He Shu's talent, so he still looked for opportunities to teach him.
At that time, He Shu was young, and he was only interested in playing. His grandfather asked him to finish his homework and study for two hours every day. He wanted to promise his friends to play football, and tried every means to avoid it. In the end, he couldn’t wait to go out to play after studying for half an hour at most. Grandpa sighed and didn’t stop him. Then, he only murmured that it seemed that there would be no successors.
But He Shu is indeed very talented, so he has learned some skills in this way.
"Grandpa said that Yunhai Mountain's Zhixu Sect withered talent later, and he was basically the only one left, and there is no rumor about it. However, I have learned so poorly that I am half a bucket of water at most."
If grandpa was there, he wouldn't be able to let the devil stare at him, and he would be helpless.
Guanghan stared at him, rightly: "Besides the way of speaking, you also have another method."
He Shu had a hippie smile on his face: "The trick to attract little girls? Do you want to learn too?"
Guanghan automatically skipped the nonsense, as if he didn't hear it.
"The femininity is particularly attracted to you. Have you ever learned the art of inviting gods?"
He Shu's smile gradually subsided, and he looked at Guang Han seriously for several seconds.
Guanghan and the strange bird have no ill will towards him, he is certain.
This person has the ability, and the trouble that the strange bird can't solve, he can solve it at once, and He Shu is also very sure.
After all, the two sides were not familiar with each other, so He Shu told him stories all over the sky, which was also a process of contact and temptation.
But He Shu didn't expect that as soon as the other party opened his mouth, he would actually reveal the little bit of the past that he didn't want to touch the most in his heart.
