The Exorcist - v8 Chapter 1

Coinciding with the National Day holiday, a small town called Jinshi Town in southern Sichuan was also more lively than usual. Only those who travel on the street are still there. There are very few foreign visitors, except for the locals, who are villagers in nearby Shiliba Villages.

The people here are not very lucky. In the warm and humid climate of the south, the mountains are bare, there are no rare and exotic fruits, and local people cannot rely on the mountains for food, and there are no scenic spots, and there are no large numbers of tourists to patronize. Fortunately, Jinshi Town is located at the intersection of several towns. Relying on the economic contribution of agriculture, transportation, and accommodation, it is not rich, or at least not poor.

In fact, the main reason why Jinshi Town can attract frequent people from nearby villages and towns is because of the underground “entertainment activities”. It’s just that those are all unofficial, no matter how big economic benefits they can create, there is no benefit to the town’s finances. A large amount of money flows into the individual’s pockets, so Jinshi Town is a place where dark gold surges.

It’s almost midnight. The main street of the town is sparsely crowded. Except for a few small restaurants that are open at night, they are not illuminated at all. They are very depressed and quiet. However, this is only a superficial phenomenon and people who are familiar with the situation. Everyone knows how lively there is under the calm ground of Jinshi Town. It’s like the largest and full guesthouse in town. Although it’s dark now, it seems that all the guests have fallen asleep, but under the guidance of the insider, go through the underpass at the end of the corridor and turn to the basement floor. , Every three doors can hear the noise and loud voices inside.

“Big big! Small! Small! Alas!”

“Buy to leave! Buy to leave! Let’s go, fifteen!”

“Four over and four, small five pipes, a little moth, small six o’clock-shit!”

This seemingly formal and even rustic hotel turned out to be an underground gambling house.

The area of ​​the gambling house is not too large, but all kinds of gambling equipment and gambling methods are available. The entire large room is full of smoke and mist; every gambling table is full of people, and all of them look devoted. The appearance, figure, and makeup were all vulgar, but the barely dressed waitresses shuttled back and forth, and the guests sent food, drinks and chips; a few big men with all-faced and fierce faces stood by the door and in the passage. It looked like a wolf staring at the meat; shouts, curses, excited screams, and uneasy provocations filled every corner. At a glance, it was full of the most evil and greedy creatures in human nature.

“Old Ho, get out of here! It’s okay to come to the white skin, beware that I lied to you and let you be a rabbit for everyone!” The gambling staff who is the Pai Gow banker called to a lanky man.

“Liangguazi, watch the door next time, don’t let him in!” said another gambling table chief, and pointed to a big man who seemed to be stupid and stupid by the door. His property left by Lao Tzu and his nasty wife were sold, and he didn’t see him win back a money back. He kept losing the day he came here. Deliberately let him, he didn’t win. Lao Tzu did this. After so many years, I haven’t seen anyone worse off than him.” He didn’t mean to let Lao He win, but he was disappointed and surprised by the result. This person, Lao He, But it fell to the grave of his family’s ancestors.

“Yes, he didn’t owe a lot of money anyway. Just drive him away! If you look back, it will ruin our luck.” Another chief said, “Don’t underestimate luck. It’s very evil. !”

Hearing this, the thug named Liangguazi walked up to pick up the man named Lao He. He was so thin that he couldn’t help but feel the strength of Liangguazi. With too much force, he was thrown out like a chicken, and fell under a gambling table, shocking the gamblers to scatter.

“I don’t stand here anymore. Old Ho’s body has been lying down. It must be the same place where the child was buried. The luck is as low as the foot of the foot. It’s not that it is endless to lose!” The gambler who was hit screamed unlucky and hurriedly. Changed a place.

Seeing this, another thug came quickly, grabbed Lao He and pushed hard to the door, broke away his skinny fingers that were scratching the door frame, and threw him out, then slammed the door shut, as if For fear of bad luck entering the door, he muttered to himself, “I have seen a good gambler, I have never seen such a good gambler. Fuck, I am so alive, I am convinced!” Looking out from the window that was too small to be regarded as a window, I saw Lao He fell to the ground, motionless, and didn’t care about it at the moment. He turned around and continued to look at the place, knowing that the gambler was only drinking other gamblers’ wine and was drunk. That’s it.

It’s not so easy for a bad guy like this to die. The so-called good people don’t live long, and they live for thousands of years. It’s true!

Unsurprisingly, this man named Lao He was indeed drunk, and he got up on the ground for a long time. Looking left and right with misty eyes, the left is the heavy wooden door of the underground gambling house, and the right is the dark dark tunnel. He hesitated, and first went to pat the door of the gambling house. It wasn’t until a fierce face appeared in the window that he yelled at him and it scared him, got up and walked outside the door–

He dreamed of peony flowers last night, and the interpreter said that the peony is the owner of wealth. This is destined to be his good fortune, and he will soon be rich. So he sold his bedboard early in the morning and got a little money to gamble. . The bed board was real hardwood, and it was one piece, but it didn’t even sell for one-tenth of its own value. But he doesn’t care, as long as he can win, everything will come back again. Does he care about the two bed boards?

He thought all this was the care of the God of Wealth, because he had already defeated his family for gambling, and even his beautiful wife who had been married for two years was abducted and sold to a foreign country by him. He never thought that his two bedspreads were worth a bit. Xiaoqian suddenly remembered it when he fell from the bed in a dream in the morning.

He hadn’t been to this favorite casino for a long time, so he was able to enter the door after all the good things were said, but he was full of confidence, and not two of them were lost again. The riches and honors in his dream did not come. He was desperate and angry. Everyone at the gambling house knew that he could no longer squeeze out the remaining money, and refused to credit him for gambling. Others are also very addicted to gambling. By the way, they secretly drink the alcohol of those who can afford to gamble. Looking at it, all the envy, boredom, and unwillingness to mix with bad wine were all in my stomach. In the end, I was drunk and couldn’t stand still, and was thrown out by the gambling house!

The night breeze in autumn is a bit cold, walking on the empty street, and being blown by the night breeze, the wine that has receded a little bit slowly rises again, making Lao He’s footsteps staggering and vain, as if the whole world is shaking. I got up, and slowly went off the road.

Kick da-kick da-

Hearing his footsteps, he looked up, the moon was sparse and the night was very clear. Why is it getting darker and darker? He stopped and looked around, only to see that he was in a dark and long alley, with the doors of people on both sides closed, and there was no popularity at all.

He couldn’t help smiling wryly, thinking so. It’s midnight, besides this gambler, are there any normal people hanging around on the street? But what is so cold? Although his clothes are all sold out, it is only the ninth month of the lunar calendar. In their place, the weather is still very hot. Is it that people are unlucky and even the Yang Qi is weak? I can’t bear the cold night!

Moreover, he seems to be lost. Where is this, it seems that he has never been here before, but he was born and raised here, which street in the town he doesn’t know, why don’t he know here?

He was puzzled and walked forward slowly. After walking for more than five minutes, it came to an end!

No way, he had to turn back and walk back. Anyway, he had nothing to do, and no one was waiting for him. Go slowly. Just how old Jinshi Town is, he will definitely be there before dawn.

He lowered his head and turned around, but he was stopped back as if hitting something.

“Who is blocking Lao Tzu’s way? What a crash! Most of the night!” Lao He shouted, no one answered him, only two sneers from the woman came.

The voice was very shrill, it sounded as if it came from a far away, it was too close and it seemed to be in your ears, with the smell of Peking opera, accompanied by a night breeze, which made Lao He startled with white hair for no reason. Khan, drunkenly awake for the most part, blinked his eyes twice and looked in front of him.

I saw two pairs of embroidered shoes on the ground. One pair was of normal size, and the other pair was authentic three-inch golden lotus shoes. However, the two pairs of shoes were of the same green satin, rolled with black satin, and embroidered pink on the upper. Colored peony flowers, yellow stamens, and a butterfly on the toe cap each look extremely gorgeous, but also extremely old.

Up there are four white calves, and then the hem of a red embroidered cheongsam!

Two people have been following him, but he didn’t notice anything! There is no sound and no breathing. Although he is drunk, it is impossible to be completely conscious! Unless they-not people!

Thinking of this, Ho was so shocked that he didn’t even dare to move, dripping a piece of his pants, running down his thighs, and all his alcoholism turned into urine.

“Sister, is this trash okay?” said a woman, and the pair of normal-sized feet moved a bit and seemed to want to leave.

“It’s him, so gambler, and so desolate enough, it’s him, I don’t want to look for it anymore!” The three-inch golden lotus took a step forward, scared that he almost died and wanted to run. , But still can’t move.

“Raise your head.” A voice whispered in a gloomy voice. From the first sentence they said, it was the tone of Peking Opera chanting.

He was shaking, how dare he look up.

“Look up!” The voice screamed, making Ho Ho subconsciously raise his head in fright.

In front of them, stood two women, each wearing a red cheongsam, with a white silk kerchief pinned to the front of the neck, and a large peony embroidered on the chest. In this dark alley, such two women suddenly appeared, they seemed beautiful and terrifying, and their faces made Old He even more shocked!

Their faces are all covered by oil paint, and they can’t see their original features at all, but their white faces, scarlet lips, pink cheeks, and black temples and long eyebrows are all of the female dancers in Peking opera. appearance!

He was shaking like a dead leaf in the autumn breeze. He didn’t even have the power to move a finger. He could only let the three-inch golden lotus get closer and closer.

“Useless!” The Tianzu “woman” snorted coldly.

The three-inch golden lotus looked back at her companion, then looked back at Lao He, her neck turned three hundred and sixty degrees, “Isn’t it scared to death?” They still talked in Peking Opera dialogue, as if they kept saying this, and will continue to say so. !

“No-I dare not-scared -“

The three-inch golden lotus laughed, “It’s fine if you don’t scare to death. You will be scared tomorrow. Don’t be scared to death at that time, it will be considered as a real transfer!”

“Yes Yes–“

“It’s so pitiful!” The voice was gentle, but his tone was gloomy. He patted Lao He’s shoulder with one hand, making him feel the coldness, and his barely standing legs softened and fell directly on the ground.

“Our sister is doing good deeds and wants to complete her character. I chose you today. You really burned incense from your ancestors.” Three-inch golden lotus paced in front of Lao He’s face, and Lao He realized that their feet were not touching the ground at all. , There was no shadow on the ground, and then I was convinced that I was really going to meet a ghost at night. But when I thought about the “ghost” word, cold sweat broke out again, thinking that they were going to kill him, and quickly begged for mercy.

“Two-Daxian, we have no grievances in the past, and no enmity in the recent days, so please forgive me! If there is anything unresolved, please tell me, I-I will do my best so that there will be no regrets behind both of you. , Please treat me like a fart, let it go! I have offended something today, I’m sorry! I’m sorry! I will burn more paper money tomorrow, and repay the two of you for not killing.” I don’t know where the power came from. , Got up and knocked his head desperately, and hit the ground with a “boom”.

“This is a horrible thing!” Tianzu said contemptuously.

“Who wants your dog’s life, we are here to help you!” Three-inch golden lotus said softly, “As long as you listen to us, we will guarantee that you will bet and win again and again, and it will become commonplace at the gaming table since then. Victory General!”

Her last voice was very long. It was very scary in the human ears, but he was so gambled. At this time, she heard the word “gambling” and saw that these two “women” didn’t mean to kill him. , I also heard that he could win for a long time without losing. As soon as he explained his bad luck for many years, he couldn’t help becoming bold and asked, “Really?”

“Yes!” said the three-inch golden lotus, “as long as you promise to do one thing for us, and you pass the test tomorrow, you can become the **** of gambling!”

When Lao He heard this, he couldn’t help forgetting his fear completely, and he almost jumped with excitement. Looking up at these two women, although they were shocked by the constant and strange facial makeup on their faces~www.mtlnovel.com~, they finally saw their outfits clearly.

No wonder dreaming of peony flowers, it is really helped by the gods! He half-happily half-feared, and he didn’t want to think about how these two gloomy female ghosts could become the guardians of mankind? !

“What are you doing so happy?” Tianzu said in disgust, “You and we have a contract. If you can’t fulfill our wish, you will die without a place to bury! What’s more, you don’t know if you will be scared tomorrow night. To die!”

“Forget it, why bother to scare him. He is dead, we are not asking for trouble?” The three-inch golden lotus smiled again, “He Fugui, tomorrow morning, come to the south side of Tietou Mountain with incense candles and Paper money. Remember, if you meet us today, even if you have agreed to our terms, so if you don’t come-hum!”

She snorted coldly, then suddenly turned and left, only He Fugui stared at them blankly and disappeared in the darkness as the images of their backs melted.

Tietou Mountain is the back mountain of their town. It is named because it is bare and does not grow plants, but only grows stones. The ravine on the south side is a mass grave. Very few people dare to go during the day, but tomorrow he will go in the middle of the night.

He was afraid, but even more afraid of the consequences if he didn’t go. What’s more, the two great immortals said they would help him become the **** of gamblers, so no matter how scared it is, it is worth it!
