Merchant of the Underworld

Chapter 52: Undoing the Curse

"Amitabha." Zen Master Baimei melancholy sang a Buddhist chant: "Now that this person has passed away, why do future generations go to trouble themselves? The life you see may not be life. The death you see may not be death. Life and death It’s just a cycle, why should the donor make a fuss.”

As soon as I heard Zen Master Baimei say this, I knew there must be something wrong with my grandfather's death. What a big deal, I didn't listen at all. If grandpa really died tragically at the hands of others, with my explosive temper, I will definitely find out the real culprit!

I immediately asked seriously: "Zen Master Baimei, tell me the truth. How did my grandfather die? Which enemy killed him? You don't have to hide this from me. I know that I am not strong enough now, but I I will not seek revenge. I will only seek revenge when I am strong enough."

Zen Master Baimei clasped his hands helplessly: "The donor's temperament is exactly the same as Brother Yaoyang's."

"Okay! I promise you, when one day you are strong enough, I will tell you, no need to say more..."

After saying this, Zen Master Baimei closed his eyes and began to knock the wooden fish without saying a word.

If it weren't for the fact that he saved the man in the T-shirt, I would have gone up and smashed the wooden fish.

When I opened the door to the Zen room, the man in a T-shirt was already waiting for me at the door.

I immediately stepped forward and asked him if his injury was okay?

The man in the T-shirt nodded, and then took out a grape-sized, black and white ball from his pocket.

I was shocked. Could it be that the man in the T-shirt got the corpse beads?

This corpse bead does indeed look like a human eyeball, but it has been completely calcified and is very hard.

"Swallow it," the man in the T-shirt said.

"What?" I thought I heard wrongly and looked at the man in the T-shirt inexplicably.

The man in the T-shirt said again: "Swallow it and it will lift the curse on your back."

Li Mazi came to me at some point. As soon as he heard that I was going to swallow this antique worth millions, he felt heartbroken and quickly stopped me.

I also felt nauseous, these things are zombie eyes! Even if I tried to swallow it, I would definitely vomit it out.

But for the sake of my life, I gritted my teeth and swallowed the corpse beads in one gulp.

The man in the T-shirt told me not to touch any spicy food within three days, otherwise it would affect the efficacy of the corpse beads. After the curse was removed, I would automatically spit out the corpse beads.

Three days later, the man in the T-shirt took the corpse beads and left without saying goodbye. I felt much more comfortable all over, at least the itching feeling on my back disappeared. When he looked in the mirror, the eyes on both sides of his spine had turned into scars.

We didn’t stay at Dabei Temple for too long. The food here was not good, and Li Mazi missed his son again, so the day after the man in the T-shirt left, we also said goodbye.

Yin Xinyue helped Li Mazi take care of his son for a few days, so Li Mazi naturally wanted to express his gratitude. Li Mazi offered to treat us to dinner, and I refused. It's rare that Li Mazi is so generous.

During the dinner, Yin Xinyue was very curious about what kind of thrilling things we have experienced in the past few days, and asked us to tell her about them. So Li Mazi immediately started telling the story, making up a random story about how he outsmarted the zombies and saved me from the zombies' teeth.

I think this guy is a bit like Lin Zhengying.

Li Mazi's son looked at his father with admiration, and he could see how important Li Mazi's position was in his mind. So I didn't interrupt Li Mazi, and listened patiently to what Li Mazi said.

Yin Xinyue naturally didn't believe it and just kept smiling at me. I saw that there seemed to be an element of ambiguity in her smile, which reminded me of Jingjing.

Quietly dying has always made me feel uncomfortable. But I tried my best, so I don’t blame myself too much.

After eating, Yin Xinyue proposed to go shopping, and Li Mazi readily agreed.

However, Yin Xinyue was a total shopaholic. She bought a lot of things at once, and they were all famous brands, such as clothes and bags. Li Mazi frowned in distress.

Li Mazi simply called me to the corner and said with a smile: "Brother, I will pay for the meal. But the shopping money is not within my management, is it considered public expense?"

I knew it would not be easy to get Li Mazi to pay, so I rolled my eyes at him: "Where are the public funds coming from? There is no profit from this operation, so I have to pay for it myself."

"Who said there is no profit?" Li Mazi grinned and smiled: "Don't forget, the Hongyang knife is still in our hands. Don't tell me that thing is not valuable. I asked the man in the T-shirt, he Say the starting price is at least two million."

Damn it, this guy knows a lot about things.

The man in the T-shirt did leave the Hongyang knife to us, but I had no intention of selling it at first. Firstly, it was a gift from the man in the T-shirt. Secondly, I still don’t know what the benefits of this Hongyang knife are. Who would buy a rusty scimitar at a high price?

But Li Mazi would definitely not accept my argument, so I simply lied to him and said that I would find a suitable buyer in the next few days, and when the money is in place, I would reimburse today's shopping money.

After all, Li Mazi was a businessman, and he was worried that I would tamper with the profits, so he repeatedly told me to take him with me when trading.

I readily agreed, thinking to myself, just wait! Maybe this knife will never be sold in a lifetime.

But what I never expected was that I was not planning to sell the knife, but the knife buyer came to the door on his own...

It was a wealthy Taiwanese businessman who ran a security company. He said that the Hongyang Sword contained the heroic spirit of the Yang family generals, which could intimidate his business opponents, protect the health of his employees, and enhance their murderous aura.

At first I thought it was Li Mazi who had leaked the Hong Yang Dao, so I was very angry and determined not to sell it. But the other party actually said that the man in the T-shirt asked him to find it.

Only then did I realize that it meant T-shirt man.

Now that the T-shirt men had spoken, I stopped worrying and sold it to a wealthy Taiwanese businessman for two million.

Of course, the money was not shared equally between Li Mazi and I, but the three of us together with the man in the T-shirt.

With the 600,000 yuan allocated to him, Li Mazi was very excited and said gratefully that I was his benefactor. If he hadn't met me, his son's leukemia would never have been cured.

I said if you are really grateful, give me 58,000 yuan, and Li Mazi suddenly disappeared...

The trap is a trap. Once you jump in, you will never get out. Li Mazi and I are a good example.

But I didn't expect that even Yin Xinyue would be involved.

Since the last incident, Yin Xinyue has asked me out for supper almost every night, which has almost become a habit.

She said that the company's heavy workload made her physically and mentally exhausted, and she would only be happy when she was with me.

Although I was a little helpless about her entanglement, I got used to it after a while.

So when Yin Xinyue didn't come to see me that night, I was a little surprised and felt empty.

But I didn't take the initiative to call her, thinking that maybe Yin Xinyue's freshness had worn off. Don't all little girls like the new and dislike the old?

Unexpectedly, my cell phone rang early the next morning. When I saw Yin Xinyue's profile picture dancing on the phone, I was slightly excited and quickly answered the call.

However, on the other side of the phone, Yin Xinyue's voice was extremely hoarse, mixed with bursts of sobs.

My heart suddenly skipped a beat, I felt like something had happened to Yin Xinyue!
