With a click, the door of the charity house opened, and a gust of cold wind hit my face, accompanied by the smell of herbs. It took more than a month to go out. I thought that dust would fall in the room and I would have to clean it when I came back. After flipping through it, he didn't expect that the tables and chairs inside were very clean and the room was neat and bright. His bedding was also clean. It was obvious that someone had come over to clean him. Zhou Qiao thought about it and estimated that it might have been done by Grandpa Cheng. , my heart is warm

"Ah...Brother Zhou, this place is as spooky and terrifying as you said. It seems quite comfortable." Yang Gan walked around the room with a relaxed expression.

Zhou Qiao ignored him and went to clean up the room next to him and make the bed before he came out and sat on a chair outside the court. "You can sleep in this room tonight. There is some chaos in there, so you can make do with it."

"Oh, Brother Zhou, I can sleep anywhere! You don't have to worry about me," Yang Gan waved his hand.

Zhou Qiao went to the kitchen to get some food and put it on the patio table

"Brother Zhou, have you lived here since you were a child? Do you have any relatives?" Yang Gan asked curiously.

"No, my parents passed away early. They were gone almost when I was born. It was my grandfather who raised me. After my grandfather passed away, I had no relatives in this world." Zhou Qiao's tone was sad, full of longing for his grandfather in his words.

"Ah, Brother Zhou, I'm sorry, I said the wrong thing." Yang Gan apologized quickly after hearing this.

Zhou Qiao smiled lightly: "It's okay, I'm used to it. What about you, why do you rarely hear about your family?"

"I have a big family. My family has always been doing Feng Shui for people and setting up Feng Shui bureaus for wealthy families. I am the youngest in the family. I have an older brother and older sister. My older brother is a businessman and my older sister is married. , I inherited my family's Feng Shui skills and learned some Taoism. I know a little bit about everything and am not proficient in anything. My old man taught me a lot about this. This time I came out just to see the world and get to know some people like Brother Zhou. Such a powerful friend like you." Yang Qian scratched his head and laughed.

The two sat outside the court chatting, eating and drinking. It wasn't until late at night that the two returned to the house to rest.

Zhou Qiao was woken up by a knock on the door early the next morning. When he went out and opened the door, he found it was Grandpa Cheng. He was carrying a bunch of vegetables and rice on his back with a cane. He smiled when he saw the door opened. Mr. Zhou is back. I'll bring you some vegetables and rice. You worked hard for my grandson last time."

"Grandpa Cheng, since your legs and feet are inconvenient, we'd better go in and talk first."

Yang Gan ran out of the room when he heard the sound, "Wow, Brother Zhou, you have an old man bringing you food this early in the morning." After saying this, he rushed to the old man.

He smiled and said, "Hello, grandpa! My name is Yang Qian, and I am a good friend of Brother Zhou who he met outside."

"Well, you are quite handsome, young man."

"Haha, thank you for the compliment, grandpa!" Yang Qian patted his head honestly.

After the three of them entered the house, Zhou Qiao wanted to let Grandpa Cheng take a rest, but he refused: "I am old and my body is strong. I don't need a rest. I have to go home to work, so I won't stay any longer."

Zhou Qiao couldn't help but persuade Grandpa Cheng. He took out some herbs brought back from the Northeast and gave them to Grandpa Cheng, asking him to take them back. He also asked him to pay attention to his health. Grandpa Cheng nodded kindly and agreed.

After Zhou Qiao sent Grandpa Cheng away, he planned to go into the mountains to find some poisons to prepare and replenish the previously used "corpse water". Yang Qian originally wanted to follow, but Zhou Qiao told him that there were poisons everywhere where he went. Let him stay at the charity house until it is too dangerous.

Zhou Qiao found scorpions, spider eggs, centipedes, leeches, poisonous ants, toad liquid, sulfuric acid, stagnant water from the cemetery, etc., put them into a special jar, sealed them, put them underground, and waited for forty-nine days to turn into corpse water. It was done, and then he made some pills with herbs and put them in a small black bottle. Yang Qian watched and helped.

In this way, Zhou Qiao was tinkering with some weird things when he had nothing to do. Yang Qian occasionally stayed in the house to practice his Feng Shui skills and sometimes went to Murakami Cheng's grandfather to help. The days passed slowly and happily like this.

Until this day, Yang Qian brought someone back from outside. It turned out to be Zhang Bawan, the fat brother he met in Jingdezhen. Fatty brother came to see Zhou Qiao specially. They met Yang Qian on the way and came back together.

"Fat Brother, why are you like this after I haven't seen you for a while?" Zhou Qiao asked in surprise when he saw that Fatty Brother suddenly had a scar on his face and his arm was wrapped with gauze, and blood could be faintly seen.

"Oh~ It's hard to explain in words." The fat man shook his head and sighed.

Zhou Qiao asked Fat Brother to sit down and asked Yang Qian to pour a cup of tea. Fat Brother sat down and drank a cup of tea and slowly talked about his life these days and the purpose of coming to Zhou Qiao;

"Brother Zhou, to tell you the truth, I came here to ask for your help. You don't know that after we separated, my two sworn brothers were discharged from the hospital. The three of us rested for a few days and received medical advice from a businessman in a Tibetan area. I learned a piece of news. It is said that there is an ancient tomb in a canyon of Namjagbarwa Peak in Tibet. The owner of the tomb may be an eminent monk from the Tang Dynasty. There are many funerary objects buried in it. Some people say that there is an eminent monk sitting inside. The most precious Buddhist treasure "Buddha bone relic",

You also know what brothers do. After knowing this news, the three of us discussed and decided to go to Tibet to find the ancient tomb. Unexpectedly, I was the only one to escape and come back. My two brothers were harmed and could never come back. Here we come." At this point, fat brother burst into tears. The big man cried as if his own mother had died. He finally recovered and continued, "We three brothers entered the Tibetan area and went to Namjagbarwa Peak. We found a place to rest and unexpectedly met a group of people with the same purpose as us. There were six people in the group, including a lama, a Taoist priest from Longhu Mountain, a very beautiful woman, and three other people with extraordinary skills. It’s just the Lian family. The three of us brothers will not mess with this group of people.

Unexpectedly, the group of people took action immediately without giving us a chance to react. None of the three of us were mediocre. Unexpectedly, with just one move, the lama used something to control his body and made him unable to move. My two brothers died tragically. In their hands, I relied on my ancestral Faqiu Seal to protect me and jumped into the lake when they were not prepared. I barely survived and escaped."

"I swear I must make those people pay the price, otherwise I will be sorry for my dead brother. I hope brother Zhou can help me out of past friendship." As soon as the fat brother finished speaking, he knelt down towards Zhou Qiao. You must know that the man There was gold at his knees, but he turned to Zhou Qiao for help without dignity in order to avenge his two sworn brothers.

"Fat brother, what are you doing? Get up first, you are trying to hurt me." Zhou Qiao was very embarrassed and quickly helped the fat brother up, but the fat brother still insisted on kneeling down.

"Brother Zhou, please agree to help me! As long as you are willing to help me, we will be friends of life and death from now on. Even if I sell my life to you, I will have no problem with it."

Seeing Fat Brother like this, Zhou Qiao couldn't bear it. After all, he had received benefits and help from Fat Brother before. He sighed and said: "Fat Brother, please get up first~ Let's discuss it in the long run!"
