12. Tribute money

The hairy monkey was the size of a puppy, squatting there, furry, and was gaiting something to Ku Ding in a very humane manner. Lao Qi only saw one side and looked at it, which seemed quite cute, but a creature suddenly appeared in his sight, which still scared him. His head flickered, and then he looked at it, but there was nothing.

He glanced at Ning Meng, and his heart was a little bit quiet.

"That...that..."

"Just look at it, don't ask what you shouldn't know."

Ning Meng learned and applied what the chef said to him.

Lao Qi was speechless by Ning Meng's words, so he could only look over with his head and carefully. But this time, for some reason, his afterglow happened to face the creature. This time he saw not a cute monkey. It was obviously a small animal with a car crushed head, and half of his head was dragged. He was really scared. He shivered and sat on the ground with the car.

However, Lao Qi was not panicked when he sat on the ground. He could feel that the creature had no malice. When he was scared just now, the creature's head, which was about to rot, seemed to smile at him. Lao Qi himself didn't know why he could see the smile from the deformed head, but he just saw it. Although it was hideous, it was clearly friendly.

——A such... can make people feel warm, this...is this?

Lao Qi was a little unable to think. Perhaps it was because he had looked at each other just now. He did not use his light now, and he could still see the creature. However, the somewhat empty eyes that the creature looked at him made Lao Qi feel a little apologized for him again.

——Because...had I scared? But...how is it possible?

And at this moment, the creature seemed to have ended his communication with Ku Ding. He rushed Ku Ding half-cherished, looked at Lao Qi again, then he jumped a few times, rushed out of the road, and disappeared into the darkness.

However, a few car whistles sounded in the opposite lane, and a car drove past behind them in a hurry, as if everything had returned to normal. Just now, it was like a long distance and a dream on the road.

"He is destined to be with you, go and give him some tribute."

The cook took some steel pounds from Ning Meng, blew it into his mouth, and stuffed them all to Lao Qi.

"Just put it on the roadside, put it into five directions and three feet of guidance, Ning Meng, go and teach him."

"What do you need to teach this? Just stack it up."

That's it, Ning Meng still pulled Lao Qi to the side of the road, pulled him to squat, and told him what Wufang Yin was.

"Now, we must distinguish between the south and the west and the north. The higher the stack, the more we are, the more we are. When we see the seventh central government, we can be respected by the height of the three or three feet."

Although Lao Qi didn't know what was happening here, he felt a sense of the creature just now, and he was extremely respectful. He only put the steel horns on the tenth floor and fell to the ground.

Before he could sigh, Ning Meng next to him patted his shoulder.

"No, I can place three tribute money for the first time. I'm a little older, otherwise I'll have some chances."

"Treasure money?"

"I'll tell you later, get in the car first, it's time to leave."

Lao Qi looked obviously much bigger than Ning Meng. Ken Ning Meng obviously found a partner who could instigate him. He was thinking about how to press some oil and water from Lao Qi. Usually, the chef was very strict with him.

As for Ku Ding, he had already returned to the car and was chatting with Meng Po, who was a little worried on his face.

"It's okay, not the one you think."

"I know, I just think the world has become... very different."

Meng Po seemed to have a bad memory. She glanced at the place where the creature disappeared, with some confusion in her eyes.

"The world has never changed, it has become just a human being."

The car started again, and this time there was no barrier and it was smooth all the way.

After about ten minutes of running, Lao Qi was curious and Ning Meng didn't tell him that he was so nervous that he hesitated and asked Ding: "Mr. Ding, that..."

He was struggling with how to ask this question, and always felt that it seemed inappropriate to use any adjective, but Ku Ding started talking to him directly.

"I still wonder if you can stand your composure and if you don't come and ask me."

The chef pulled the seat back so that he could lie down more comfortably.

"How to say it, I think you are more likely to accept that there are so many human beings that cannot be known to us than ordinary people. After all, you have more or less contacted, and your former friends have died because of this. Whether you say they are ghosts or call them monsters, they are all the same. These existences are good and bad, but most of them are bad."

Hearing this, Lao Qi twisted his body and listened to the explanation of the chef Ding nodded. He watched Qianlong change, so how could he not believe it?

"Let's talk about the intersection. Among the ancient civilization legends, there are various stories at intersections, such as the so-called demons at intersections in the West. On our side, the intersection is even more gloomy. Some people who die in foreign lands will choose to be at intersections when worshiping; or knocking on the bowl on the crossroads can attract starving ghosts, and you must not take them home if you pick up something at the intersection."

"The intersection is a road that is open and a place where yin and yang hedges. For ordinary people, intersections are just intersections, but in their subconscious minds, everyone will be a little vigilant about intersections. For those things, the intersection of yin and yang hedges is more like a maze. They do not have much memory, but more obsessions. They will make straightforward choices based on these obsessions, and basically will not think deeply. Without guidance, they will easily lose their direction and fall into it and cannot leave. This is also the reason why ghosts are easily hit by walls at intersections in many remote places. Living people will walk into the yin land, and dead people will meet living people."

"Almost all funerals and marriages will do something at the intersection, either burning a string of firecrackers or throwing some coins. Funerals are done to guide the way, while marriages are for good luck. When encountering bad things, firecrackers are warnings, and coins are buying wealth. When encountering good things, this is tribute money."

"There are some odds, saying that throwing money at an intersection can bring bad luck away. The premise is that there is a good person at that intersection. If you meet an evil ghost, you will not only not be able to throw bad luck away, but you will also be held in a grudge. Only good people will help you."

"Actually, there is nothing good or bad about it. Most of them can only be considered ghosts. They may only remember some of the more important memories in their lives, and they will lose time and forget more and more as time goes by. When he completely forgets, that is, when he disappears. What I call evil is unwilling to forget, turning obsessions into evil thoughts and forcing themselves to continue, and most of them with resentment will do this because they can't let go and hold a grudge."
