Chapter 359 The Horrible Old Man, Rushing Through the Ghost Street

Boss Liu's face turned completely dark.

Not only did Zhou Dengren run away, he also stole a bracelet from them. This bracelet was not an ordinary bracelet, but a supernatural object.

After letting the man run away, Boss Liu once again received a lesson in love.

It’s not that he didn’t think about using supernatural powers to dodge, but since he didn’t actively attack, his supernatural power of changing distance had no effect on Lao Liu.

The terrifying image of his old father reappeared in his mind at this moment.

While Boss Liu was enjoying his father's pain and happiness, Lin Yuan was wandering on the ghost street.

Today is indeed the day when Ghost Street opens. Tailor shops, Chinese medicine shops, paper-making shops and other shops are all open for business. There are also many pedestrians on the street, and it can be seen that these people are all ghost riders. There are basically no ordinary people.

But the weird thing is.

The faces of most of these people cannot be seen clearly, just like a high-definition video that has been suddenly censored, which is very weird and discordant.

But no one noticed anything was wrong. Everyone was looking for what they needed on the street and then making transactions.

"He Liansheng and his friends' memories of the rally are already very vague, and they can't even see the faces of these people clearly, which is a pity."

Since he couldn't even see his face clearly, Lin Yuan's method of continuing to exploit the bug was naturally not going to work.

However, the purpose of his coming here this time was not to find the bug, but to find out the secret of the Ghost Bank. What is certain is that the Ghost Bank has left a deep impression on He Liansheng and Boss Liu.

The Ghost Money House was not far away, and at this time, a lot of people gathered outside the Ghost Money House.

The faces of these people were also unclear. They all came to the Ghost Bank to exchange coins, but the Ghost Bank was closed, which was a bit of a headache.

Ghost riders always have bad tempers.

Moreover, this time the Ghost Bank closed for no reason and did not notify everyone in advance, which caused trouble to many people and seemed like it was going to cause trouble.

Lao He and He Liansheng are both here.

Old He was guarding outside the gate of Ghost Money House, while He Liansheng was explaining to everyone earnestly, "The Qian family's wife just died, and it hasn't been seven days since her death. During this time, he has to deal with his wife's funeral. This time, I would like to trouble everyone to barter. Although it is a bit troublesome, please understand."

Death is a common occurrence for ghost riders, but when someone dies in other people's homes, although they are a little dissatisfied, they are basically persuaded to leave.

Old He stayed for a while and then left. He wanted to guard the ancestral hall, which was the root of Taiping Town.

He Liansheng stayed because from time to time new travelers would come to ask about the Ghost Bank, and he had to do a good job of explaining to avoid unnecessary conflicts.

He Liansheng naturally noticed Lin Yuan as well. He felt a little nervous, but he just smiled from a distance.

As long as Lin Yuan didn't come to see him, he had decided not to contact Lin Yuan actively. He had also told Lao He about the information about the "store manager" that Boss Liu gave him.

The current way of handling things is also the advice given to him by Lao He.

The unknown is always the scariest thing.

However, sometimes a superficial understanding can seem very scary, making people wary and unwilling to take the initiative to contact.

Lin Yuan looked for a while, then suddenly turned his head and saw Zhou Deng approaching him at some point, smiling flatteringly, "Boss Lin."

"Looking at you, did you escape?" Lin Yuan asked.

Zhou Deng shrugged helplessly, "I can't help it. That family insisted that I was stealing. I thought I, Zhou Deng, could bear this grievance, so I really stole from their house. Otherwise, Boss Lin, can you help me keep an eye on things?"

As he said this, he handed over a bracelet with both hands.

The bracelet is blood red all over and it is impossible to tell what material it is made of, but it has very complex patterns on it. If you look closely, you can vaguely see some strange patterns.

If you stare at these patterns for a long time, you may even feel dizzy.

Zhou Deng talked about his understanding of the bracelet, "This should be a supernatural item, but I don't know what effect it has and how strong the effect is."

He rubbed his head.

He was almost caught when he was stealing the bracelet just now, but fortunately he came to his senses in the end, otherwise Boss Liu would have found him in the bedroom.

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Just keep your eyes open?"

"Haha! It has to be you, Boss Lin. Actually, I'm still thinking about the food in the restaurant. How about using this bracelet as meal money to reserve a dish and eat it next time I come to the restaurant?" Zhou Deng asked expectantly.

Lin Yuan said, "You have a good plan. You want me to protect you with just a bracelet? But your plan will fail. I will not get involved in the affairs of Taiping Town. You and your friends can do whatever you want, but don't mess with me, understand?"

After saying that, he ignored Zhou Deng.

Zhou Deng was somewhat unwilling, but Old Liu and Boss Liu had already come out of the hotel and were only a few hundred meters away from here. In order to avoid being caught, he did not care about Lin Yuan and squeezed directly into the crowded crowd and soon disappeared.

Boss Liu and Old Liu also noticed Lin Yuan, but did not say hello. Instead, they walked around the crowd and continued to track Zhou Deng.

Lin Yuan didn't mind. He looked towards the street corner, where an old man who looked to be in his fifties or sixties walked in with a hunched back.

He was wearing an old linen shirt, which had many patches but was exceptionally neat.

However, the shovel in his hand, which he used as a support, was stained with mud and looked a bit dirty, and there was a strong stench of corpse.

The taste is not too noticeable.

This ghost street is now full of ghost riders, many of whom are on the verge of resurrection. The smell on their bodies is simply indescribable.

In comparison, the stench of corpse on the shovel in the old man's hand was very light.

What is different is that the old man's face is clearly visible, without any mosaics, and as he walked in, all the ghost riders on the road made way for him with awe in their eyes.

Seeing the old man, the young He Liansheng immediately called a friend to take his place.

Although this little friend's strength is much weaker, the news about the Ghost Bank has now spread. As long as they don't want to cause trouble in Taiping Town, they will not act unreasonably.

After making the arrangements, He Liansheng went to greet him and called out respectfully, "Senior Luo, you are finally here. My father is waiting for you in the ancestral hall."

"it is good."

The old man nodded, but his eyes looked in the direction of Lin Yuan. However, he could only see the bustling crowd and did not see anything special.

He frowned slightly and thought, "Is this feeling wrong?"

"Did Senior Luo meet any acquaintances?" He Liansheng was a little confused. He looked at the direction the old man was looking, which was originally where Lin Yuan was, but in his eyes Lin Yuan had already left.

Could it be that the Peace Hotel is really so terrifying that even this terrifying senior has been there and is afraid of it?

"It's okay, let's go."

There are no illusions in the supernatural world, the old man naturally understood this, but he didn't find anything just now, which meant that the man didn't want to see him.

In that case, he was too lazy to bother.

This era no longer belongs to their generation, but it does not mean that their generation has completely come to an end, otherwise he would not have come here.

I just don't know if the person who just appeared there was an acquaintance or someone else.

The old man followed He Liansheng all the way to the ancestral hall. This ancestral hall was no different from the real Taiping Town ancestral hall, except that it was a little "younger".

Moreover, there are many more spirit tablets on the altar, almost twice as many.

Old He was wiping the spirit tablets. He treated them as if they were his loved ones. It was not until He Liansheng brought the old man in that he carefully put down the spirit tablet in his hand, then walked in front of the old man, bowed and said, "Senior, we meet again."

The old man nodded, his eyes swept across the rows of tablets, and finally fell on the tablet in the middle at the top. A complex look flashed across his cloudy eyes, and then disappeared.

"Have any strong men come here recently?"

Old He was startled and looked in the direction of the gate. He Liansheng understood and quickly closed the door. At the same time, the light around the ancestral hall became dim, and it was obviously shrouded by some kind of ghost domain.

It was only at this time that Lao He said solemnly: "Please forgive me, senior."

"It's okay, tell me. The one who makes you pay so much attention must be a terrifying existence. I would like to know who it is, or whether there are some foreigners who are ignorant of their own life and death and dare to make trouble on our land." The old man's tone was calm, but full of murderous intent.

It can be heard that he has buried quite a few foreign ghost riders, and he doesn't mind burying more.

Lao He shook his head and said, "That one is our compatriot. Let Ah Sheng and Senior talk about it."

This was a chance for his son to show off in front of his elders. After all, the legacy of the necromancer had to continue, and his life span was running out.

This time we invited this old man here to leave more memories.

But he didn't expect to meet Lin Yuan, the manager of the Peace Hotel, a young man who appeared out of nowhere but was extremely terrifying. He Liansheng was smart since he was a child, so he knew what Old He meant.

Although he was sad, he did not show it, but seriously told the information about the Peace Hotel and the "store manager".

This information was also revealed to him by Boss Liu.

After finishing his speech, He Liansheng added, "The authenticity of this information has yet to be verified, but it should not be false. As for where the Peace Hotel is, I have never been there, so I don't know."

The old man frowned and thought, "Peace Hotel? There was a Peace Hotel in Dahai City before, but it was opened by an ordinary person and had nothing to do with our circle. It has been ruined for many years. It should just be a similar name. If you are right, then I would like to meet the store manager Lin Yuanlin. I wonder if you can introduce him to me?"

Lao He said, "The store manager just now is near the bank. I don't know if he is still shopping or has returned to the hotel. Ah Sheng, take the seniors to find the store manager. Tell me if you need anything."

"Okay. Senior, this way please."

He Liansheng led the old man away. After they walked out of the ancestral hall, the old man suddenly said, "Your father only has a little over a year left. Did you know that?"

He Liansheng took a deep breath, forced a smile on his face and said, "I know. My father told me two years ago. When he is a hundred years old, he will let me become the third generation of necromancer."

The old man nodded, "Do you know why your father asked me to come here?"

"I know. It's to continue the relationship between my He family and the seniors. Please rest assured, whether my father is here or not, I will serve you well." He Liansheng said solemnly.

The old man shook his head. "You still don't know. But it doesn't matter. Now that something unexpected has happened, maybe you can meet the requirements to become a necromancer without my help."

What are the requirements to become a spiritualist?

He Liansheng looked confused. He had never heard his father tell him what the requirements were for becoming a necromancer. When he heard this, his heartbeat accelerated unconsciously, as if something extremely terrible was about to happen to him.

However, seeing that the old man seemed unwilling to say more, he could only suppress his uneasiness and continue to take the old man to look for Lin Yuan.

The old man was a little surprised. "Aren't you curious about the conditions?"

"The inheritance of the necromancer is very terrifying. If you want to become a necromancer, you naturally have to pay an extremely terrible price. I have made preparations, and I am willing to bear any price. This is the honor brought to me by my surname, and it is also my responsibility. If the senior is willing to talk, the junior will naturally listen attentively. If the senior is unwilling to talk, the junior will naturally not ask." He Liansheng said frankly.

The old man nodded secretly, "Taiping Town is great, having such an outstanding descendant like you. It's a pity that you live in the same era as that young man. I don't know whether it is your luck or misfortune."

He Liansheng's eyebrows twitched slightly, "Which fellow are you talking about?"

"If there is a chance in the future, you will meet him. As long as you become strong, he will find you one day. As for whether you will become true comrades and work hard for the same ideal, or become enemies, it depends on your fate."

Having said this, the old man completely shut up.

He Liansheng could only suppress his doubts and curiosity and stop asking questions.

He first brought the old man to the outside of the money house. His friend was still explaining what happened in the money house to the newcomers to avoid misunderstandings, but there was no sign of Lin Yuan.

Then we came to the hotel again.

Boss Liu was not there, but Old Liu was. When he saw the old man, he quickly stood up and greeted him. It was obvious that he also knew the old man. However, when Lin Yuan was mentioned, he shook his head and said, "That man had already left in the morning and has not come back since."

"Senior, why don't I take you for a walk on the street?" He Liansheng said.

"No, I'll just walk by myself."

The old man left the hotel after he finished speaking. He Liansheng wanted to follow him to avoid being rude, but Lao Liu stopped him, "Ah Sheng, you should know about those young men who came to the town to cause trouble last night. Lao Liu took action last night, but no one was left behind. Be careful when you go out. If you see my kid, remember to help him."

He Liansheng's heart skipped a beat, and he said in disbelief, "Impossible? Uncle Liu is so powerful, how could he not have left anyone alive if he personally attacked? I've fought with those guys before, and although they are quite strong, they are far inferior to Uncle Liu."

"Those young men have some other tricks. Old Liu has already told me that we are worried that there are other people behind those young men who are planning to attack our town. Plus, with so many people coming to the market during the day, there may be hidden dangers, so we need to stay in the town. As for other places, we have to rely on you young people." Old Liu said.

He Liansheng nodded solemnly, "Okay, I understand. Don't worry, Uncle Liu, nothing will happen with us here."

Having said that, a layer of gloom covered the young He Liansheng's heart.

He Liansheng had no idea how strong the paper-making shop owner Lao Liu was, but he had seen Lao Liu in action before, and his power was terrifying enough to make people despair.

Such a powerful old man can't leave behind a younger generation?
"Those guys actually dared to hold back when facing me?" He Liansheng thought of the brief fight last night and suddenly felt extremely angry.

"What's going on? Where did this smoke come from?"

"A ghost has invaded?"

"Someone's dead. It looks like Taiping Town is not peaceful anymore. There are ghosts invading."

"I don't know who brought this ghost here, but there are so many of us here, are we still afraid of just one ghost?"

Hearing the noise outside, He Liansheng hurried out of the hotel.

If it was just a ghost, he wouldn't be too worried, because there are many ghost riders in Taiping Town. Even if you don't count the ghost riders who came to the market today, there is at least one ghost rider in every shop in the town.

There are also some shops that have the older generation of ghost handlers. If a ghost really rushes in, it will definitely be a delicious dish delivered to their doorstep - whether it is a paper-making shop, a tailor shop, a bank, a mask stall or other shops, they all like ghosts as a resource.

That's right.

To Taiping Town, most evil spirits were just a resource, just like hunters going hunting in the mountains, except that their prey were more ferocious and more likely to eat humans.

But what if there is someone behind this ghost, manipulating it?

Just now, Old Liu from the hotel had already told him that the young people who caused trouble last night might be related to this incident.

And among the people who came to the town to attend the market this time, there might be their accomplices among them.

And the target that attracted people was Taiping Town!

"A tall tree attracts the wind? I want to see who dares to attack Taiping Town and is so ignorant of his own life!" He Liansheng looked towards the archway, which is the direction of the entrance to Ghost Street.

A thick smoke spread out, and two figures could be vaguely seen in it.

This thick fog is obviously a ghost domain, but in the absence of any supernatural power, it is not supernatural to be able to see some shadows in the ghost domain.

As He Liansheng was observing, the thick fog continued to invade Ghost Street, and some people who came to Ghost Street for business rushed over, ready to get rid of this evil ghost who was ignorant of the danger.

However, just as they approached, before they even came into contact with the thick smoke, they fell headfirst to the ground without a sound.

died!

And he died very quickly. It was obvious that he encountered an extremely terrifying supernatural attack in an instant. He had no time to react and was directly killed by this unknown supernatural attack.

In this wave alone, seven or eight ghost riders who went to the market died. The evil ghosts in their bodies had no time to revive before they were covered by thick smoke. Then, chewing sounds were heard from the smoke, as if some ghost thing was inside, swallowing these dead ghost riders.

It is very simple and crude, without any rules.

Just the first round of collision caused such heavy casualties, which immediately shocked many people. However, there were also some people who did not believe it and thought they were strong enough and were ready to try again.

He Liansheng's face changed, and he quickly shouted: "Everyone, don't go there anymore. This happened in Taiping Town, we will handle it..."

Before he could finish his words, these self-important ghost riders had already rushed out, unleashing all kinds of ghostly and supernatural powers, but unfortunately, they all died without exception, and were then chewed and swallowed in the thick smoke.

Now, no ghost riders dared to go to the market, and they all retreated quickly.

"What about the people in this town? There's a ghost here, but you guys aren't going to deal with it?"

"That's right! If that's the case, no one will dare to come to your market anymore!"

"Could it be that all the shops here are shady? Could it be that you released this ghost yourself, intending to kill us and take our things?"

He Liansheng's face looked extremely ugly, but fortunately, the owners of the shops along the old street came out one after another.

Just by standing there, the powerful and terrifying supernatural pressure made these ghost hunters who came to the market shut their mouths. The feeling was as if they had encountered an unstoppable evil spirit, and made them feel the threat of death.

However, these bosses did not attack them, but all looked at the thick smoke.

I don’t know if it was an illusion, but after these bosses walked out of the shops, the thick smoke stopped invading, as if it could sense the terror of these bosses.

Only the chewing sound in the thick smoke continued without stopping.

Old Liu also came out and stood where He Liansheng's voice sounded. He frowned at the thick smoke, and suddenly turned his head to look in the direction of the paper-making shop.

Like him, most of the shop owners also looked over.

Old Liu walked out of the store with a painted smile on his face. "It's my fault, it's my fault. I didn't keep these young men here last night, and they ended up running here to cause trouble. I'll arrest them right away."

The smoke was receding, as if trying to escape.

Old Liu covered a distance of hundreds of meters in a few steps and rushed directly into the thick smoke. "Young man, you ran away last night, why did you come back? But since you are here, then stay."
