Chapter One Hundred and Twenty-Three: The Death of the Dragon Slayer(1/2)
"Xiangxi chases corpses and avoids strangers..."
night.
Jiuquan Town fell into sleep, and with the sound of a ringing bell, a burly middle-aged Taoist slowly came driving two rows of corpses.
"Stop shouting. Why are you coming here in such a big way? Send someone to inform me. Keep it private."
In the darkness, someone came out muttering.
If there are any town residents here, they will find that the person who greeted Mr. Corpse Expulsion is none other than Mayor Ye of Jiuquan Town.
"Mayor Ye, no matter how much I begged you before, you still refused to let me build the warehouse in Jiuquan Town."
"Why are you so nice this time? You contacted me without telling me, and you still said you want to cooperate with me?"
Mr. Corpse Exorcist looked at Mayor Ye with suspicion.
"Today is different from the past."
Another young man walked out of the darkness: "This is not what my father meant, it was my idea. If he doesn't listen to you, why doesn't he listen to me?"
Mr. Corpse Exorcist frowned slightly: "Are you the son of Mayor Ye?"
After speaking, he added: "Didn't Mayor Ye say that you are doing business in the Magic City?"
"It's not easy to do business outside, and besides, it's not as comfortable as at home."
"What's more, if we don't make opium, others will."
"There are so many people taking opium now, why can't we make money when others are making it?"
Ye Shihao lit a cigarette for himself and said hesitantly: "My dad has been the mayor of Jiuquan Town for ten years, but he didn't know how to adapt, so my family hasn't gotten rich yet. To be honest, I don't want to be as poor as him all my life. "
Mr. Corpse Exorcist was stunned for a moment: "Your family has more than a dozen shops in Jiuquan Town. Isn't that considered rich?"
"What's the use of a dozen shops? I want to buy a Ford car, but he can't even get it out."
"I don't want my son to live in this kind of poverty when I have a son in the future."
Ye Shihao expressed his position: "Let's cooperate. From now on, you can set up the warehouse in Jiuquan Town. Jiuquan Town will go out with thousands of jars of wine every day. If you mix it up casually, your goods can be mixed in the jars and sent out without having to worry about it." It’s been such a hard day.”
"Well, I think so too."
"My goods come from Yunnan and are delivered to you by carcasses. There is no customs duty on this journey."
"You, take advantage of the mayor's power, mix the goods into the wine jar, and distribute them to wherever you want them. You only pay a few taxes on the wine, but there is a lot of opium. Just the difference in tax can make you Make a fortune."
Mr. Corpse Exorcist greeted him a few words, and then said: "By the way, where do you plan to locate the warehouse?"
Ye Shihao smiled and said, "Do you know about the newly opened church in Jiuquan Town?"
Mr. Corpse Chaser shook his head.
Ye Shihao didn't care: "It doesn't matter if you don't know. There is a basement under the church and there is a lot of space inside."
"In the past, the priest sealed up the evil things. However, I bought the yards on the east and west sides of the church and dug downwards. I dug two passages from the two yards to the church basement."
"From now on, our warehouse will be located in the basement under the church."
"The yard to the west of the church will be given to you, and then we will declare to the outside world that you will use this place as a charity village."
"We will build a warehouse in the yard east of the church."
"In this way, you can use the method of driving corpses to send the zombies carrying opium to the west courtyard, and then enter the basement of the church from the passage in the west courtyard and put the goods there."
"When we need to deliver goods, we don't have to go to the west courtyard. There is also a passage to the basement in the east courtyard."
"We pick up the goods in the east courtyard and then deliver them from the warehouse. On the surface, our two families have no relationship."
"Plus, with my father covering up, no one of them could have imagined that we were in the opium business."
Listen to each sentence.
Mr. Corpse Exorcist said nonchalantly: "I'm definitely not as familiar with Jiuquan Town as you are. If you think you can do it, then you can definitely do it."
"If I really can't do it, I won't lose anything. At most, I'll work harder in the future and continue to deliver goods by driving away corpses."
Ye Shihao nodded: "Then it's settled. By the way, how much goods did you bring this time?"
Mr. Corpse Chaser glanced behind him: "Eight walking corpses, each carrying ten kilograms of cargo, a total of eighty kilograms."
"Really a corpse?"
Ye Shihao was a little skeptical.
"Nonsense, I still have to pay wages, is it really necessary?"
Mr. Corpse Exorcist took off the bamboo hat from the head of a walking corpse.
When you first see it, you see a corpse with half of its face missing, and a yellow talisman on its forehead.
"Don't you think about it, how much does it cost to hire eight people to travel from Yunnan to here?"
The zombie driver smiled and patted the walking zombie on the shoulder: "These walking zombies are different. They are not afraid of hardship or tiredness, and they won't ask me for wages. If you encounter a timid person who has to check the level, I will take them." Once my hood was taken off, no one dared to tell me about the examination."
Ye Shihao was half excited, half nervous: "Come on, I will take you to identify the door. I will give you the key later. You deliver the goods and I will deliver the money. If there is nothing else, we will not meet."
Mr. Corpse Chaser warned: "We will both benefit from our cooperation. Don't try to play tricks on me, otherwise I will not be easy to mess with."
"Don't worry, Tu Long. We have known each other for thirty years. I was not the mayor back then, and you were not the exorcist. Your master has the final say in everything."
"Now I am the mayor, and your master is dead."
"Just because of our friendship, I won't cheat you, right?"
Mayor Ye pulled Jia Chang, and then asked questions at the end: "Tu Long, how did your master die? I remember that if he were alive, he would be in his early sixties this year, right?"
Tu Long sighed: "He was bitten to death by a zombie. Someone asked him to transport a transformed zombie to Qiantang. He was kind-hearted, so he agreed. Unexpectedly, he still couldn't escape the disaster."
"To be honest, I wanted to go with you that time, but my master refused to agree. Maybe he had expected it at that time?"
Mayor Ye nodded and said: "Your master is a nice person. I remember that when he went out to eat, he would always squat in the corner outside the door to eat. When I asked him why, he said that he was a corpse collector and had bad luck, and he didn't want to pass on the bad luck to others. other people."
Tu Long nodded: "Good people don't live long, so I have seen through it all. As long as you can make money, you can do whatever you want. I didn't know how to do it before. I only knew how to help people drive away corpses. But how can you make more money by driving corpses than transporting opium?"
After saying that, Tulong stopped talking and said bluntly: "Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's lead the way. After these walking corpses are settled, I have to go to the Exorcist Taoist Priest. He is a local resident, and I am He is also a fellow Taoist, so I have to say hello to him, otherwise it will be against the rules."
While leading the way, Ye Shihao asked, "Taoist Priest, do you still have such rules?"
"The Qiankun Hall where I was born was branched off from Gezao Mountain."
"As the saying goes, the Three Mountain Talismans belong to the same family. Basically, we are members of the same sect, so we have to call him senior brother."
When Tu Long said this, his tone paused slightly: "Of course, this is an internal matter within our Taoist sect, and it has nothing to do with you. You won't understand if I talk too much."
Ye Shihao thought to himself: "Oh, why are you pretending to be a big-tailed wolf? When I said cooperation, you didn't rush over eagerly."
After half a ring.
When they arrived at the courtyard to the west of the church, Mayor Ye and his son left.
Slaying the Dragon drove the zombies down the tunnel. As soon as he entered the basement under the church, he shuddered: "What a heavy Yin energy!"
Hold the oil lamp and look left and right.
The area inside is very large. First, there is an underground hall that can accommodate dozens of people to hold mass, and then there are two built secret rooms. I don't know if they are storage rooms or something else.
Tulong pushed open the door of a secret room and looked inside.
At first glance, this is a utility room, exuding the smell of decay.
Tu Long walked towards the second secret room.
After walking a few steps, thinking of visiting the exorcist priest, Tulong stopped again and muttered: "What's there to see in the utility room? I'm full, can't I?"
After thinking about it, he picked up the oil lamp and left the basement.
Little did he know that there was a sarcophagus in the second secret room.
On the coffin, a Bible and a cross were originally placed.
Unfortunately, with the construction of the passage, the cross was shaken and fell to the ground. Now only a Bible is still pressed on the sarcophagus.
At this moment, the Bible was emitting black smoke, as if it was about to burn at any time.
Jiuquan Town.
Gym.
"Slaying the Dragon, why are you here in the middle of the night?"
It's around ten o'clock in the evening.
Hearing a knock on the door, the exorcist priest went out to take a look, and frowned slightly when he saw the person coming.
"Why, you don't welcome me?"
Tulong held a snack in his hand: "What do you mean, we have known each other for many years, and we are driving corpses through Jiuquan Town, so why can't we stop by to see you?"
"Can you be so kind?"
The exorcist Taoist Priest didn't believe it, but he still let Tu Long come in: "Sit down wherever you want. There are some snacks and dried meat on the table. I'll make tea for you."
"You can mix well!"
