Looking at Grill No. 10, which was decorated as a mourning hall, Old Liu respectfully offered the incense sticks and wondered how Lei Peng could agree to such nonsense.
"When the pickpocket dies, he brings it back for burial and puts it in mourning hall here. You really set a precedent."
Ma Liu burned the paper, finished the ritual, stood up and said:
"They are all Lieutenant Lei Renyi."
"..."
Lao Liu's face twitched, and he thought to himself, "Are you coaxing ghosts?"
Lei Peng is a good person, but he can't afford to be early if there is no benefit. If there is no benefit, how can he let you run wild on his three-thirds of an acre of land?
As Lao Liu expected, Ma Liu taught Lei Peng the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms before he was allowed to pull the coffin in and bury the body for seven days.
When he has practiced to the level of Lei Peng, he can slay demons with a wave of his hand. Ordinary martial arts are of little use to him. Only the top Jianghu skills such as the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms can give him a little more insight.
However, what really impressed Lei Peng was not the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, but mainly the value of Ma Liu.
At present, his growth potential can definitely rank among the top three among pickpockets.
As long as he does not die, he can bring long-term benefits to Lei Peng and allow Lei Xiaowei to enrich his personal pockets safely.
To put it in Lei Peng's original words, he, a ruthless captain, would not be replaced by a feudal official.
Of course, if you want him to sell face, value and benefits are not enough.
This person must have a good nature, be loyal to his brothers, and be interesting to his friends, so that Lei Peng will look at him more.
People are doing it, God is watching, and the people around are watching.
Today Ma Liu can carry Wang Goudan back, and if Lei Peng encounters difficulties tomorrow, Ma Liu can also carry him back.
Being friends with such people makes you feel comfortable and secure.
One thing showed his character, and Wang Goudan got along well with everyone. The funeral started early today, and almost all the pickpockets came.
Everyone worked together to carry the coffin out of the Papi Division, scattering paper money all the way out of the capital.
Ma Liu had bought a piece of Feng Shui treasure land in advance and buried Wang Goudan himself.
He placed the green dog-beating stick in the coffin and had no thoughts about the beggar gang.
Before leaving, Ma Liuchao pleaded with the old man at No. 7 Steakhouse:
"Senior, can you please set up a simple magic circle so that no one will disturb me?"
In troubled times, people are dead and ghosts are alive, and every piece of clothing is robbed. If you dare to open a grave in the wild, if the ghosts don't come to dig it, people will do it.
The old man nodded, randomly played with a few stones, and muttered words to create a formation, which was enough to resist the tomb robbers.
As for the fierce men in the second and third realms, they would never take the tomb of a Jianghu person seriously.
"Brother, have a good time on the road to hell."
…
When everyone returned to the Piping Department, Lei Peng had finished allocating the demons to be killed today.
Ma Liu also works as the errand of Steak House No. 12. He has a heavy task and needs to kill two monsters in half a day.
He sharpened his knife, first hoisted up the sheep demon in Steakhouse No. 12, lit three sticks of incense, and without incident, did not bother to draw blood, and just waved the butcher's knife to kill it.
After the heavy sword strikes, within a quarter of an hour, the sheep demon had been dismembered, and the bones were as clean as if they had been gnawed by dogs.
Having killed so many demons, Ma Liu no longer wanted to take in the memories of these little demons.
The joys and sorrows in the world are mostly the same.
Those who can come to the skin-picking department will either die tragically or be killed. Their life experience is miserable and their fate will be miserable. Watching too much will affect their mood.
Papi Si was already gloomy, but no matter how depressed or depressed he became, he became mentally ill. Even with a weird heart, he couldn't save the positive and optimistic Ma Liu.
Returning to Grill No. 11 and closing the stone door, Ma Liu looked at this rare demon.
He is tall, with thick black hair all over his body, a crescent mark between his eyebrows, and many strange symbols painted on his face, much like an ancient wizard priest.
"This should be a hybrid between a human and an ape demon."
I don’t know if Lei Peng offended the strong men of the Demon Collection Team. In the recent period, almost all the dead demons had their heads smashed and died after the Tianling Cap was lifted.
The same goes for this ape demon, its brains are missing.
Lei Peng didn't come to get the oil and water, so the Demon Collection Team on the front line took it away directly.
"This Great Yan Dynasty is corrupt to the core."
Ma Liu lit three sticks of incense as usual and waited quietly.
He couldn't help but be surprised when he saw that the three sticks of incense were burned steadily without any accidents, and the ape demon did not turn into a corpse.
This was the first monster he had ever seen that didn't cause trouble.
He walked forward, put a handkerchief on his chest, pressed the chest of the monkey demon and breathed gently.
In an instant, the other person's lifelong memories flashed through Ma Liu's mind like a fleeting glance.
…
As he expected, this ape demon was a well-known witch doctor and priest in the capital when he was alive. He specialized in telling people's fortunes and calling on ghosts.
Whether there are ghosts in this world, the witch doctor firmly believes that there are.
Because he attracted ghosts several times, talked to the families of the deceased, fulfilled the wishes of many ghosts, exorcised many evil spirits, and restored peace to the people.
But Ma Liu felt that the so-called ghosts were things generated by strange energy and specific magnetic fields.
Just like evil spirits and resentment, they can affect people's hearts and cause many illusions.
Ma Liu didn't believe that there were truly good people in this world who could live their whole lives without doing anything bad.
But after reading the memory of the ape demon, he believed it.
This demon is more enlightened than an enlightened monk, and is kind-hearted to the core.
When he performs divination to attract people's spirits, he will ask for money if they give it to him. If they don't give it, he won't ask.
He never squandered the money he took, nor did he buy extraneous things out of selfish desires. He used all the money to help poor people suffering from diseases.
The Buddha cut his flesh and fed it to an eagle. This demon sold his blood to save the heinous thief, until he was converted and became a monk by picking off his head.
Unfortunately, good people do not live long.
the night before.
After being possessed by the demon, the ape demon was extremely weak. The hair in his wide black robe was all soaked and sticky, making it extremely uncomfortable.
After returning home, he heated a vat of water in the yard, lay in the vat and fell asleep unconsciously.
He had a strange dream.
Dreaming that at midnight, he would drown in a water tank.
The ape demon suddenly opened his eyes and found that there was nothing around him. It was just a nightmare.
He breathed a sigh of relief.
I looked up at the moon in the sky. It was in the sky and was about to reach midnight.
At this moment, there was an inexplicable noise in the neighbor's yard. The ape demon felt something was wrong and was about to put on a black robe and get out of the water tank.
But suddenly a big hand pushed him hard into the tank from behind. No matter how hard he struggled, it was to no avail. He couldn't even break the tank.
"The sky is dry and everything is dry, be careful about the fire."
The clock struck three times, and when midnight came, the ape demon lost his last consciousness.
…
The next day.
Some villagers came to pay their respects and wanted to ask the ape demon to calculate the five-element fortune for their child and give him a good name.
As a result, I smelled a strong smell of blood outside the door and reported it to the police immediately.
The ape demon is not human, and it scares Ji Yamen.
Before dragging the body back to the Piping Division, the head of the ape demon had been opened and its brains sucked. It was not the work of the Demon Collection Team.
