Volume 1 Uncle Nine's World Chapter 90: Ghost Story in the Spring House
Ren Tingting agreed to let Ren Zhuzhu stay for a few more days. Jiale also wanted to wait until his mother's birthday was over before leaving, which was perfect.
In the Ruyilou Hotel, the most upscale hotel in Renjia Town.
In order to thank Jiale for helping Renjia Town get rid of zombies, the mayor specially invited Jiale to have dinner here.
"Master Sun, this time it's all thanks to you, otherwise our Renjia Town would really be in trouble. Come, I'll toast to you."
Maoshan disciples do not prohibit drinking, but as cultivators, they keep their minds and uphold integrity, and most of them do not drink, let alone store alcohol. Jiale did not drink in his previous life, and he does not have the habit of drinking in this life, so he picked up the teacup in front of the mayor.
"You are too polite, Mayor. It is my duty to eliminate demons and defend the Way. There is no need to thank me."
After saying that, Jiale didn't hesitate and drank the tea in the cup. The mayor smiled bitterly and said, "What's the matter? You did it, so I don't care."
The mayor also drank the wine in the glass and signaled to the subordinate next to him. The subordinate immediately took out a small bag wrapped in red cloth, which made Jiale look very familiar.
"Master Sun, this is a small gift. Please accept it."
Jiale did not refuse. He had already given the box of gold bars he had received from Taoist Qian to Simu, so now he could save up for another box.
In times of war, money is essential for everything. In fact, some things can still be bought, such as precious medicinal herbs and some auxiliary materials for making magic tools. When Uncle Jiu took the money he got from Taoist Chen, he also said that he wanted to help Jiale make a magic tool.
Jiale accepted the gold bars calmly, and felt even more satisfied.
"You are too polite, Mayor. If you need any help in the future, you can come to me and I will do my best."
The mayor was delighted when he heard this, because this was exactly what he wanted. After the two security guards went back, they told the mayor about how Jiale subdued the zombies. The mayor was even more jealous after hearing this. He didn't know that Jiale was a man of real ability. In this day and age, it is not a bad thing to make friends with more masters like Jiale. The mayor is also a shrewd person. During this meal, he was really grateful and making friends was the top priority.
But when I heard the latter sentence, I felt something was wrong. What does it mean to do things within one's ability? We are all foxes that travel a thousand miles away. How could the mayor not know what this means? Doesn't this mean that he has not agreed to anything?
But something is better than nothing.
"Thank you very much, Taoist priest. By the way, Captain Cao died suddenly of illness two days ago. The town's security captain has been replaced. I have already informed him. If you need anything, just let me know."
Captain Cao is dead!
So fast?
Jiale knew that Captain Cao would die, of course. He looked at him with murderous intent, so how could he let him live? However, he did not kill Captain Cao. In this world, everything has a price. God is fair. This time, Captain Cao made a fortune by suppressing the disaster and obtained a lot of money from the people.
All this money was earned by Captain Cao against his conscience. At first he didn't know that the iron helmet was useless and took the opportunity to make money which was understandable, but after he found out about it, he still did as he pleased. That was no longer money, but disaster. The concept of calamity is very mysterious. If Jia Le had not been exposed to the Maoshan Six Trigrams, he would not have known about it. However, as his skills in the Maoshan Six Trigrams became more advanced, Jia Le was able to see more.
Captain Cao is not a good person to begin with. After taking office, he has done all kinds of bad things, and more than one person has died under his command. As the saying goes, it's not that there is no retribution, it's just that the time has not come yet. This time, the calamity has come to him, although it has not reached the critical point and will not explode suddenly, but with Jiale here, he has to help him anyway.
He simply used the Maoshan Six Trigrams to gently guide the calamity, and it broke out ahead of schedule. Captain Cao was just an ordinary person, how could he escape with so much calamity on him? However, it was a bit surprising that he died so quickly. Jiale thought it would take at least a month.
It has to be said that fate is mysterious. Even Jiale is in awe of it. It's ok to just go with the flow, but Jiale wouldn't dare to do that if it meant killing Captain Cao. Even if there is an unknown space, backlash is inevitable.
Captain Cao is dead, and the cause and effect have disappeared. As for who the new captain will be, Jiale doesn't care. After celebrating Mom's birthday tomorrow, he will leave. It is not known when he will come next time. Who knows, when he comes next time, the security captain will be replaced again.
After coming out of Ruyi Building, Jiale was about to go back, but was stopped by two people. One of them was one of the two security guards who saw them killing zombies at Ren's house that day.
"Master, please stay."
Seeing the two people approaching, without saying a word, he smiled a little, with a flattering look on his face. It was obvious that the two people wanted to ask for something.
"Who are you?"
The security guard who had seen them destroy Nintendo at Ren's house before quickly spoke up, "Master, it's me. We've met before. At Ren's house, I saw the Master showing his divine power and destroying the zombies ."
Jiale pretended to understand something, "Oh, it's you, what's your name?"
The young man was immediately happy when he heard this, "Master, you can just call me Xiao San. This is my dad. Everyone calls him Uncle Dachun. We are here to ask for your help."
It is true that no one comes to the temple for no reason.
Uncle Dachun! I seem to have some impression of him. He should have a role in the movie. Oh, now I remember, isn’t he the boss of Kaichunlou?
However, why is Uncle Dachun’s face so swollen like a pig’s head?
Since that person is Uncle Dachun, then this mistress should be the one who gave Captain Cao bad advice. I guess there is no good reason for these two people to come to me.
"Help? What help?"
This time, Xiao San didn't need to speak. Uncle Dachun hurried forward and said, "Master, my business is in trouble. It has been haunted for the past two days. Master, you must help me."
Haunted!
Thinking about Uncle Dachun's business, ghosts don't seem to be a difficult thing to understand. Since ancient times, there have been a few places that are most likely to attract ghosts.
Opera troupes and brothels are all prominently listed. Brothels are full of negative energy and chaos, and ghosts love these places the most.
And they are either sex ghosts, resentful ghosts, or evil ghosts, which are not new.
"It's haunted, just shut it off."
Seeing Jiale about to leave, Uncle Dachun's face became anxious and he hurried forward, "We can't lock him up. If we do, we won't be able to survive. Taoist priest, don't worry. As long as you are willing to help, we will definitely thank you very much."
As he spoke, he secretly handed Jiale a red cloth package, which looked so familiar.
It has to be said that Jiale was moved by the sincerity of this uncle. If he didn’t help the old man who had begged him so much, it would be a bit inhumane.
"Okay, I'll go with you then."
Uncle Dachun's brothel is not far away, and it is also considered a prosperous area in Renjia Town. It is very visible, but at a glance, it is full of yin energy. This is not surprising, as all brothels are like this. Therefore, you should not go to this place too often, otherwise, you will be disturbed by the yin energy, which will not only cause you to suffer from many diseases and disasters, but also affect your lifespan.
"Master, this is it. To be honest, there were zombies in the town before, and no one dared to come out at night. Our business was not doing well. After Captain Cao died here two days ago, our business became even more difficult. Yesterday, I finally lost a lot of money and held a big promotion to attract customers. But now it's haunted. Now, no one comes here at all. Master, you must save me."
Upon hearing this, Jiale looked at Uncle Dachun strangely. He is such a talented person. Jiale has only heard of big sales in shopping malls and supermarkets, but this is the first time he has heard of sales in a brothel. Are you sure you are not kidding?
Moreover, Jiale only then knew that Captain Cao had actually died in a brothel. He was truly a man who valued money and sex more than his life. The zombies in Renjia Town had just been eliminated, and he dared to come out and enjoy himself. His death was not unjust.
"Okay, let's go in and take a look."
During the day, there were no customers in the brothel. Of course, given the reputation of this brothel, if the ghosts could not be eliminated, it would be difficult to attract customers in the future. Not everyone was willing to play with ghosts.
There are very few people like Qiu Sheng who are brave enough to do such a thing.
If Uncle Dachun wasn't so powerful, even the girls in the brothel would want to run away, let alone the customers.
In Chunlou, Jiale looked around and indeed felt a faint ghostly aura. However, if the ghostly aura could persist in the daytime, it meant that there was something really wrong in Chunlou. The mayor had invited Jiale to lunch, and it was only around two o'clock. After being eroded by the scorching sun at noon, the ghostly aura still hadn't dissipated. This meant that the ghosts in Chunlou were either too numerous or at the level of evil ghosts.
Well, this trip wasn’t in vain.
"Well, Taoist priest, what do you see?"
Uncle Dachun also noticed Jiale looking around and asked quickly.
Jiale nodded, "It is indeed haunted. How many rooms are there? Take me to check them out one by one."
There are two possible sources of ghosts in brothels. One is that they come from outside, as brothels have a mixed crowd. When guests come in, they might bring ghosts with them. The other is that ghosts are born in brothels. Jiale is more inclined to the latter.
If it is the latter, then the ghost is most likely still in the brothel and has not left yet, and is parasitic somewhere.
It is still daytime now. If we can find its trace and capture it, then it will be easy. Whether it is a zombie or a ghost, they are all monsters of the night like Western vampires. Their power during the day cannot be compared with that at night.
"Okay, Taoist priest, please follow me."
After Uncle Dachun heard Jiale say that there was indeed a ghost in Chunlou, he became even more nervous. He quickly agreed and started to wander around Chunlou with Jiale.
The first floor is the lobby, where guests eat and drink. Uncle Dachun took Jiale for a walk. Jiale didn't find anything. There was ghostly aura but it was barely visible. Instead, it became more obvious the further they went to the second floor.
Uncle Dachun’s brothel is quite large, with thirty-six rooms on the second floor.
There are thirty-six rooms, which are divided into four categories: A, B, C, and D. There are nine rooms in each category. According to Uncle Dachun, the A rooms are of the best quality, while the D rooms are the worst. The prices are naturally different. Of course, everyone knows what this quality refers to.
Jiale started from the T-shaped room, and after looking at the nine rooms in the T-shaped room, he didn't find anything wrong.
"By the way, what happened to the haunted scene yesterday?"
Uncle Dachun hesitated for a moment after hearing this, but under Jiale's gaze, he finally chose to tell the truth.
"Those who came yesterday were all old customers. One of them was quite wealthy and used Room B. But wasn't there a big sale yesterday? I used Class A girls to serve him. But this old guy played in a perverted way. However, he was just playing in a perverted way and basically didn't cause any harm to the girls. The girls knew it, and the old guy was willing to give him money as a reward, so the girls were willing to do it.
But yesterday, the old guy was in a bad state, and he slapped the girl in the face to repay her wish. If it were normal times, the girls would probably have just endured it, but who knew that the girl actually fought back yesterday and slapped .
The old guy was unhappy now and was about to resist, but before he could make a move, the girl kept slapping him left and right. The sound of slapping could be heard throughout the second floor. The old guy didn't care about being embarrassed and started calling for help. When we went over, the old guy had already become a pig's head and had fainted due to his weak body.
Fortunately, he was treated in time and survived.
After this happened, I was a little anxious and went up to say something to the girl, but she didn't let me go either. Look, I got a slap on the face. A few guys wanted to help me and were also slapped. Don't you think I saw a ghost? Such a weak girl, seven or eight guys couldn't subdue her, and they were beaten into pig heads.
Then."
At this point, Uncle Chun became even more terrified. "Then the whole Chunlou went dark, and the sound of slapping began to ring out. Everyone fainted, and when they woke up, it was already dawn. Fortunately, Xiao San was not there, otherwise, Xiao San would not have been spared. Just tell me, how could she slap so many people by herself? It must be haunted."
Upon hearing this, Jiale looked at Uncle Dachun and asked why Uncle Dachun's face was as swollen as a pig's head. It turned out that he was beaten by the girl. It must be said that the girl had quite a strong hand.
"And the girl?"
"We also questioned the girl after she woke up in the morning, but she knew nothing and was even more innocent than us. Because she hurt someone yesterday, the old man woke up and refused to give in, so the girl was taken away by the security team."
Jiale couldn't help but shook his head, "Which room did the accident happen yesterday? Take me over to have a look."
Upon hearing this, Uncle Dachun hurriedly led the way. No. 6 Yi, Jiale and the other two stopped at the door of the room.
Uncle Dachun and Xiaosan had already stopped. When Jiale looked back, they had already retreated to the railing. They were very frightened, especially Uncle Dachun. Not only was there fear on his face, but even his legs were shaking. It seemed that yesterday had really left a big shadow on him.
Jiale looked at the room in front of him. Indeed, in the entire brothel, this room was the most haunted.
He reached out to push the door open to check, but before Jiale could put his hand on the latch, the door opened by itself.
Jiale couldn't help but be startled. This means opening the door to welcome guests.
Are you confident? Or are you just clueless?
"Master, please don't scare us. Are you using your kung fu to open the door with your mind?"
Afterwards, Uncle Dachun and Xiao San couldn't speak clearly. It was obvious that the scene of the silent door opening had a great impact on them.
What the hell is intention? Even if he had the ability, Jiale didn't want to waste his magic power for no reason.
"Are you two going to follow me in, or stay here?"
Jia Le did not answer, but just asked them if they wanted to go in. The two of them answered in a surprisingly consistent manner, "Master, you can go in. We will keep watch for you outside."
Keep watch!
Jiale almost couldn't help but slap the two men. It wasn't like he went in to play tricks, he was just keeping watch.
"Okay, then you guys stay outside."
Jiale ignored them and walked into the room without saying a word.
Bang!
After Jiale entered the room, the door closed by itself.
