Daughter-in-law

Chapter 45
"Who are you?" I asked the old man.

Although he looks benevolent and doesn't look like a bad guy, but I have suffered a lot in his formation, so I am not very polite to him.

"It's angry. It's good for young people to have a temper. Only those who have no skills have no temper." The old man said with a smile.

"You took over the shop. According to the rules established by your grandfather back then, if you want to stay in Linfeng Street, you have to go through three challenges. I am the first one." The old man said with a smile.

I frowned, and asked him a little puzzled: "Didn't you say that the challenge starts at the end of the month?"

"It's the end of the month, but you opened your business and took over the business, so the challenge has been brought forward." The old man said with a smile.

I was a little speechless, I didn't expect it to be like this, but it was normal, after all, I had already opened for business, which was equivalent to officially announcing my debut, and it was reasonable for the colleagues from Jishui to come to challenge.

Although this old man made me suffer a bit, but he is very capable, and he looks benevolent, I have a good impression of him.

"Excuse me, senior, what's your name?" I asked him respectfully.

"The old man's name is Wang Chongjiu, and he works at the paper-making shop at the end of Linfeng Street. He and your grandfather were old acquaintances." The old man looked at me and said.

"I've met senior, I have offended you just now, please don't mind, senior." I quickly said respectfully.

This person is an old acquaintance with my grandfather, that is my senior, and I must be courteous in front of him.

"You are very good. You have learned the skills of Li Laosan at a young age. You will definitely be able to gain a firm foothold in Linfeng Street in the future." The old man looked at me with admiration.

I smiled, not being humble, because Grandpa also said that I have already learned almost all of his abilities.

"You won today's challenge, and there is another one tomorrow." Wang Chongjiu said to me.

I frowned, feeling a little upset, and thought that my colleagues in Jishui were too careless. This challenge was one after another, and they didn't give me any time to rest. Is this a plan to engage in wheel battles?
Seeming to see what I was thinking, the old man shook his head with a smile and said, "Don't think too much, this Linfeng Street is all about one's strength, only the strong can gain a foothold here, your grandfather did the same thing back then Yes, you are his grandson, this is what you have to bear."

I nodded. As an outsider on Linfeng Street, if I want to gain a firm foothold here and suppress the local snakes here, I must show my own skills to make them truly admire. Grandpa was able to do it back then, and now I can do the same. can do it.

"What's the challenge tomorrow?" I couldn't help asking him.

Wang Chongjiu frowned slightly, and then said: "Tomorrow, people from Xiangxi Shimen will challenge you."

Hearing his words, the corners of Duanmuqing's mouth twitched, because he learned the technique of exorcising corpses, and it is said that his master is one of the artisans who exorcise corpses in Xiangxi.

Wang Chongjiu glanced at him and said: "Your master has only learned some superficial knowledge, let alone you. The person who will come tomorrow is Zhu Laoqi from the Xiangxi Corpse Raising Gate. He is an expert in raising corpses. Ji Shui has been following Zhao Yan for 20 years, and tomorrow your opponent will be him."

"Corpse raising door?" Hearing this address, I couldn't help but frown.

The so-called corpse-hunting faction is actually divided into many small sects, including corpse-hunting, corpse-calling, and corpse-raising.

Most people are most familiar with expelling corpses, because this technique has been performed many times in movies and TV.

The rise of the dead body has a lot to do with our traditional thinking. Chinese people have always had the idea that fallen leaves return to their roots and foxes die on their heads. This kind of thinking is deeply rooted. No matter how far they go, they hope that fallen leaves will return to their roots and be buried in their homeland after death. .

Xiangxi is located in a remote place. In ancient times, men usually went out to work in order to make a living. Coupled with the chaos of war, many people died in other places, and the art of expelling corpses gradually emerged.

It is listed as one of the three thaumaturgies in Western Hunan, alongside Yanggu and Luohua Cave Girl.

The Corpse Raising Technique in Exorcism is a change of Exorcism Technique. As the name suggests, Corpse Raising Technique is refining and nurturing corpses, turning dead corpses into their own puppets, and using them to do things that are inconvenient for them. , the Japanese shikigami is another variant born out of the corpse raising technique.

It is said that some powerful cadavers can turn corpses into zombies with strong bones and iron bones, which is what everyone in the cadaver industry yearns for.

The technique of raising corpses is, to be precise, a kind of sorcery, and this person is Zhao Yan’s friend, so it seems that this is aimed at me. Zhao Yan is the leader of this Jishui Fengshui master, so The people who challenge me should be arranged by him.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but glanced at Wang Chongjiu, and asked him, "Senior, you and Zhao Yan?"

He was the first colleague to challenge me, so I wondered if he was also with that Zhao Yan.

Wang Chongjiu smiled, and said lightly: "I don't disdain to be with that kind of person. The reason why I participated in this first match on behalf of Jishui is to show your grandfather how well you have learned from him."

Hearing his words, my heart warmed, and I couldn't help laughing. He is a friend of my grandfather. This sentence is a bit like an elder who is a junior in the school exam, which makes me feel very comfortable.

"What do seniors think of my abilities?" I asked with a smile.

"Fortunately, he is the grandson of Li Laosan, a heroic boy." After he finished speaking, he paused, and then continued: "But don't be complacent, Zhu Lao Qi is not easy, and that Black Wind Forest is his territory. He's been in there for 20 years."

I smiled, and I wasn't too worried. In my opinion, keeping corpses is a kind of sorcery. If I can't deal with that Zhu Laoqi, there is no need for Ji Shui to stay any longer.

"I'm getting old, and I'm leaving Jishui tomorrow. If you can gain a firm foothold on Linfeng Street, help me take care of my disciple. His name is Li Gensheng. From now on, I will hand over the paper-making shop to him."

After the old man finished speaking, he turned around and left. I wanted to see him off, but he just waved his hand and said, "Tomorrow night at three o'clock, Hei Fenglin, you have to be more careful."

Facing his back, I clasped my hands and saluted. He is a friend of Grandpa and deserves my respect.

After seeing the old man off, I ate something in Duanmuqing's shop, and then went back to sleep.

On the second night, I prepared my things and prepared to go to Heifenglin.

"I'll go with you." As soon as I walked to the door, Mu Mu stood up and said to me.

I smiled, shook my head, and said, "No, this is someone else's challenge to me. If I want to gain a firm foothold in Linfeng Street, I have to accept the challenge myself. Your help is not worth it."

Wood thought for a while, nodded, and sat down again.

"Master, you have to be careful." The female ghost Xiaoyu also looked at me worriedly.

I smiled at her to reassure her.

"The boss is a fairy-like figure, don't worry, it's just a small black wind forest, it's like walking on the ground for the boss." The old guy said excitedly, he has always had confidence in me.

I smiled, then walked out and called a car directly.

Sitting in the car, the driver looked at me from time to time, as if he wanted to say something.

"Master, what can you do?" I asked him.

"Young man, are you really going to Heifenglin?" I asked with some uncertain timing.

I nodded and said something.

"Young man, what's the matter with you at night, you have to go to that ghostly place. Let me tell you, that place is haunted!" the driver said to me nervously.
