our supernatural life

"Hey, Maizi, your store is really good. You are very powerful. You were silent when you were in school. Look, you are now the boss. The house in this corner must be very expensive, right?"

"I also borrowed money to open the store, and I haven't paid off the debt yet. Sit down, what do you want to drink? Coffee or juice, or a smoothie?" Mai called the squad leader to sit down, and his words were a little lacking in confidence.It's true that he owes a debt, but how to repay the debt—ahem, maybe it's not up to him...

The squad leader looked enviously at the bright and tiled glass cabinet and display room, and there were all kinds of exquisite snacks inside.Although it is past nine o'clock, it is a relatively deserted time of the day, but the whole store looks clean and beautiful: "That's good too, you have the courage, dare to break in! Being the boss will be all right, It’s not like us, working desperately for others, and being crushed to death by the mortgage. Now this house is extremely expensive, but if you don’t have a house, don’t even think about getting married! It’s still useful to have a good father. Look at Han Liang, how happy he is ..."

Mai Mai looked at the monitor in surprise.The squad leader was born in a poor family. Thinking back to when he was admitted to the university from a mountain valley, he was also a passionate young man who showed his spirit and scolded Fang Qiu. How could he become full of complaints after only two years of graduation?

"Oh, you also have a dog? What kind of dog? It must be worth a lot of money, right?"

Mai Mai glanced at the black dog lying in the corner with a little embarrassment: "Someone else fostered it for a few days, it's not mine, and I don't know what kind it is." Everyone went out to investigate Cang Qiaojun's matter, Shao Jing refused Let Xiaomai go with him, but he was worried that he would stay by himself. Finally, Zhong Lecen came up with an idea to call this black dog—ah, I want to call it a dog ghost, it is said that it is a very advanced Japanese shikigami—follow him and say It is possible to protect him.To say that this dog looks quite handsome, but he is cold and indifferent. When he followed him to the store, he just lay there without moving, and refused to eat when he was offered. No wonder he was not good at serving.

"I look like an Akita dog, a Japanese breed, right?" The squad leader also likes dogs. He used to have them at home, but they were just janitorial dogs, so he wanted to pet them.

Mai Mai thought it was really a Japanese breed: "I don't know much about it, but it seems that this dog is very fierce..." He didn't dare to let the class monitor go over and touch it, it's not a dog, in case he gets upset...

The squad leader was a little disappointed, and sat back on the chair: "By the way, the party was so chaotic that day, and I didn't find you. Are you okay? Then, did you get sick later?"

"No, I'm not sick at all."

"Ah, that's great. Let me tell you, after our party that day, many people got sick when we went back. I had diarrhea. At first I thought there was something wrong with the food in that restaurant, but then I realized that many of us were sick. Wei Yan was the most unlucky, didn't he get into a car accident when he was out? I heard that a chandelier in the hall suddenly fell and killed someone... Do you know, I heard that the hotel later asked someone to perform rituals to exorcise evil spirits, saying It was because the door opened at the wrong time and bumped into something, it was very unlucky. We were unlucky, we just chose such a place. Hey, what are you laughing at? Don’t believe it? Let me tell you, don’t believe it, there are really strange things!”

What else can wheat do but laugh?Could it be that that piece of jade is the real murderer?

"Squad leader, aren't you still a probationary party member in college? Do you also believe this?"

"Hey——" the monitor scratched his head in embarrassment, "That was when I was in school—you said you wanted to improve, but actually it's useless to go out to work now...Don't talk about that, anyway, there are some things, you really have to believe it. Last year, did you hear that there were Yin soldiers on Signal Hill."

"Crossing Yin soldiers?" Mai Mai felt that this was really unbelievable.

"Yes." The squad leader said with certainty, "Someone got up in the middle of the night and accidentally looked out the window, and saw a black cloud pressing down on the Signal Mountain, and could also see a cold light shining in the cloud. Those were the reflections of swords, swords, and halberds. They were soldiers of the past! "

Mai Mai was speechless: "Yin soldiers—what are the Yin soldiers here for? It seems that most of the Yin soldiers happened in the wilderness, especially in places with large graves, such as Signal Hill—how could there be Yin soldiers?"

"Maizi, you understand quite a bit...but people talk about it with a nose and eyes, and there are people who have heard ghosts."

Mai Mai replied perfunctorily: "Ghost screaming? What's the sound of ghost screaming?"

"It is said that some are like cows, some are like cats, and some are like wolves and tigers."

"Did you hear it wrong?"

The squad leader was a little anxious: "Don't believe me, Maizi! My colleague heard this with his own ears. His family lives next to Signal Hill. One night he went out to take out the garbage. It was already late and there was no one on the street. , Signal Hill is quiet, he really heard cows and wolves howling on the hill. Do you think, what kind of place is Signal Hill, how could there be those things?"

Mai Mai had no choice but to be serious: "Really? Then how did he know that he was a Yin soldier?"

The squad leader leaned forward slightly and lowered his voice: "I'm telling you, don't tell others. Didn't he go out to take out the garbage at that time, and suddenly a young man snatched his mobile phone. At first he I thought I was robbed, but who knew that the man had run out of battery in his mobile phone, so he replaced his SIM card with his mobile phone, and then he called someone, and he heard the man shouting "Damn" Nocturnal'!"

"Ghost... night walk..." Xiaomai felt that these words seemed familiar, but couldn't remember where he had heard them. "This, this is really strange..."

"That is. So let's say, although we are educated in science, we have to admit that there are some things that science can't explain, right?"

Mai Mai agrees with his words very much. Among other things, isn't that little girl in the exhibition room one of the things that science can't explain?

"By the way, monitor, do you still keep in touch with Han Liang?"

"After graduation, I didn't keep in touch with him very often. He was very enthusiastic because of this party. We went out to drink a few times. Or maybe he really does a big business. Last time, he brought a Japanese designer. In order to win the Jiaozhou project. You see, you are willing to spend your money."

"Japanese designers? Are there no good designers in China?"

"I heard that they are very famous in Japan. Cough, don't you understand? These days, foreign monks like to chant scriptures. In fact, you said that in the commercial housing now, people are rushing to buy whatever you build. Who cares about the design? Ah, the decoration... I think it's just a good name to get a Japanese designer. It shows how talented and qualified you are. And that Japanese is really weird, or you can say that Little Japan has changed—cough, Anyway, it’s awkward to say nothing.”

"Have you still talked to the Japanese?"

"Say it. The Chinese language is really good. I can't tell that he is Japanese. He said what his name is—oh, by the way, Cangqiao. Yes, his surname is Cangqiao. Han Liang went out to meet him halfway. During the phone call, the Japanese also talked to me about the Yin soldiers passing through the Signal Mountain, and they were quite interested. I heard that the Japanese believe in these things.”

Mai Mai's heart skipped a beat—the Japanese, ghosts walking at night?Isn't that what Japan often calls "Hundred Ghosts of the Night"?

"Then, what did the Japanese say?"

"He also asked me where Signal Hill was, and I told him."

Mai Mai's ears keenly caught a low snoring—although the ghost dog was still lying there, its ears were slightly erected.

"Why does he ask this? Does he really want to see it?"

"Don't tell me, I think he really looks like he's going."

Mai Mai and the class monitor chatted a few more gossips from when they were in school. The class monitor looked at his watch and was about to get up: "Today I came to see you in the name of a running client. I don't worry if you are fine. I have to go back quickly, otherwise the boss will be so embarrassed." I'm going to pull it down again."

Wheat felt hot.The last few words of the squad leader showed that he was actually the enthusiastic squad leader back then.

"Hey, I'm fine, don't worry. Wait, bring some snacks. It's already noon, let's pad our stomach first."

"Then I won't be polite." The squad leader brought up the wheat-packed snacks, "I'm leaving, let's go to Q to get in touch when we have time. Oops!" He said as he walked out. Just as he arrived at the door, someone rushed in from outside. Almost knocked him over.

Mai Mai hurriedly supported her: "Be careful—Xiao Hui?" It was Gui Zier's gopher friend Xiao Hui who rushed in.

"Maizi, I—" Xiao Hui saw someone in the store, and swallowed the words abruptly, "I'm sorry, I didn't see it, I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

"It's okay." The squad leader saw that this person knew Maizi, so he couldn't say anything more, "Maizi, you are busy, I'm leaving."

Xiao Hui watched him go out, and immediately pulled Mai Mai into the corner: "Where is Young Master Zhang?"

"I went out to work, what's the matter?"

"Little Hui—" Gui Zi'er also ran over, "What's wrong with you? Why is there so much dirt on you?"

As expected, Xiao Hui was disheveled and panting: "I, I just ran out...over Signal Hill, last night—huh, someone was there to trap the spirits nearby...I, I am unlucky, I will do it I was also detained for the interview, hehe, I escaped after a while..."

"Signal Mountain?" Mai immediately thought of what the squad leader said just now, "Who is there to arrest spirits? What are they doing?"

Xiaohui wiped his sweat: "It's a man—it looks quite ordinary, but he is carrying a spirit beast—I didn't have time to see it clearly, but it was white—it can distort and divide the entire space. I just I was caught in a crack, fortunately I immediately pretended to be dead, and finally took the opportunity to sneak out, otherwise I would probably be finished. He asked if anyone saw the ghost soldiers on Signal Hill last year."

Mai Mai's heart skipped a beat: "Anyone answer him?"

"A dryad answered. It's a tree on Signal Hill, and it can't leave that place. Once it's caught, it's caught."

"Then what did it say?"

"It said that the Yin soldiers were actually manipulated by someone. At that time, a few people came to the mountain, and there seemed to be a fight, and then a group of ghosts came first, and then the Yin soldiers. Who manipulated it, It stayed in the middle of the forest and couldn't see it, but a young man was leading the ghost to run, and then the Yin soldiers came. Then the guy was not satisfied with its answer, so, he destroyed it!"

"Destroyed? What do you mean by ruined?"

Gui Zi'er immediately understood, with an angry expression on his face: "To destroy is to completely break up the spirits and monsters. If it is better, it will be cultivated from scratch. If it is not good...even the main body will die... Who the hell is this? What a jerk!"

Mai Mai thought about something else: "I probably know who it is, but why did he care so much about the Yin soldiers?"

Xiao Hui said in a low voice: "I think that man seems to be looking for something. Because he keeps asking the tree spirit where those ghosts come from."

"Does the Dryad know?"

"I don't know, that's why he ruined it."

Mai Mai took out the phone and was about to call Shao Jing. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw that the dog ghost had stood up, the hair on his back was standing up slightly, and his teeth bared involuntarily, as if he was very excited.Mai Mai's heart skipped a beat: "That—do you know what's going on?"

The dog ghost let out a low growl, and then - lowered his body and lay down again, obviously unwilling to answer wheat's question.Mai Mai stared at it for a while, then called Shao Jing helplessly.

Shao Jing and Dongfang Liang rushed back quickly, after hearing Xiao Hui's words, Shao Jing turned his head and stared at the dog ghost: "You know what's going on, don't you?"

The dog ghost closed his eyes and did not answer.Shao Jing raised his eyebrows: "Speak!" His voice raised slightly, and immediately brought out a wave of hostility.

The dog ghost suddenly opened his eyes, stared at him with a tense body, and let out a low growl in his throat.Shao Jing sneered: "Okay, you are quite brave! Toshi Kurahashi is Japanese, and you are a Japanese Shikigami. What is your connection?"

The dog ghost had no choice but to stand up to resist his coercion, his lips were raised, and his white teeth were bared, but he took a step back involuntarily.Mai Mai desperately grabbed Shao Jing: "This is Zhong Lecen's dog, why don't you let him come back and ask?" Beating a dog depends on the owner.

Shao Jing stared at the dog ghost for a while, then turned his gaze away: "Liangzi, let's go to Signal Mountain now and contact Fourth Master."

"I am coming too!"

"No." Shao Jing vetoed Mai Mai's proposal, "You just stay here. According to Xiao Hui, this guy has a lot of skills, and his attacks are fierce. Don't follow, it's too dangerous."

Mai Mai really wants to say that I can't sit still here, but he also knows that he won't be able to help if he goes: "Then be careful. It's best to contact Fourth Master and Brother Shen to go with them."

Shao Jing sneered: "I'm afraid that brother Shen of yours knows about this. Didn't they raise the dog? Don't worry, I'm just going to have a look, I won't fight recklessly, and that guy may have left now. Liangzi, let's go .”

Mai Mai watched Shao Jing and Dongfang Liang go out, and was in no mood to do anything else.He sighed, and sat down on the chair: "Zi'er, Xiao Hui must be hungry after running out, you can give him something to eat, let him have a rest." He turned his head to look at the dog ghost, and sighed helplessly: " Why can't you tell us? Do you know Cangqiao Jun? He let the monster he raised suck the soul of the child and did a lot of bad things. If you tell us, maybe we can catch him earlier."

The dog ghost still lay motionless, but lowered his head.Mai Mai looked at it disappointedly: "You won't be friends with Cang Qiaojun, right?" Probably not, the shikigami raised by Zhong Lecen, wouldn't be a friend of that kind of person, right?

The dog ghost looked up at him, and after a few seconds, shook his head.

"You mean you're not friends with him?" This was the first time Gougui expressed the meaning of communicating, and Xiaomai was immediately pleasantly surprised, "Then you know him?"

The dog ghost shook his head again.

"Oh——" Mai Mai's enthusiasm faded again, and she stared out of the window in a daze.Suddenly he heard a grunt in the dog ghost's throat, and suddenly stood up, and then a black light flashed, and the dog ghost's entire body disappeared.

"Ah?" Mai Mai was startled, stood up and looked around, but couldn't find even a dog hair.He ran a few steps to the door and looked out, but he didn't see the dog ghost, but found a small white thing moving by the window, slipping sideways along the window frame.Mai Mai has good eyesight, and at a glance, he saw that it was a small white mouse, only the size of a thumb, but its body was as thin as a piece of paper—no, it was cut out of paper, but it was really moving!

Maimai's eyeballs were about to fall out, and he picked up the broom next to him and wanted to rush out, but just as he ran to the door, the dog ghost suddenly came in from the door, holding something white in his mouth, and then spit it out on the ground ——It was a mouse cut out of white paper, which had already been bitten through by a dog ghost.

Mai Mai carefully poked it with a broom: "This, what is this?"

The dog ghost stood vigilantly and looked out the door, still moaning in a low voice, but the voice was a little lower.Mai Mai guessed its meaning: "Someone put it here? Think, want to investigate the situation here?"

The ghost dog nodded.

"Who is it?"

The dog ghost looked back at Xiao Hui.Mai Mai guessed: "Yes, it's Cang Qiaojun? He came with Xiao Hui?"

The dog ghost nodded again, walked to Mai Mai's feet and lay down, as if protecting him.Mai Mai couldn't help reaching out to touch its ears: "Should I call Shao Jing back?"

The dog ghost purred again, but the hair on its back calmed down.Mai Mai continued to guess: "Cang Qiaojun is not around here anymore?" The dog ghost patted his calf with its tail, obviously right.

Mai Mai stared at the small piece of paper, thinking whether it could be swept directly into the trash can, when the dog ghost suddenly stood up, wagging its tail slightly.Immediately the door was pushed open, Zhong Lecen and Shen Gu stepped in quickly, the dog ghost immediately greeted him, and followed Zhong Lecen's legs.

Shen Gu reached out and picked up the small white piece of paper on the ground: "It's this kind of thing again."

"Brother Shen, you didn't go to Signal Hill?"

"The fourth master has gone. Young Master Zhang is afraid that something will happen to you, so let us come back and have a look."

"I'm fine, it's just this—"

"Shikigami." Shen Gu casually threw the pieces of paper into the trash can, and patted the dog ghost on the head with his backhand, "He's here to spy. Cangqiaojun may have already set his sights on us."

"Then what happened to the Night Walk of the Hundred Ghosts on Signal Hill?"

"Hundred Ghosts at Night?" Zhong Lecen and Shen Gu exchanged glances, "How do you know it's Hundred Ghosts at Night?"

Mai concluded that they were absolutely aware of this: "I heard it from someone. You must know, right?"

Zhong Lecen pondered for a moment: "That's right, we know about it. The Night Walk of the Hundred Ghosts was summoned by a member of the Tuyumen family on the Signal Mountain."

"What about the Yin soldiers?"

"The Yin soldiers... were summoned by an ancient sword."

Mai Mai was confused: "What's going on?"

"This matter... Let's talk about it together when the young master comes back."

Mai Mai thought for a while: "Isn't the Night Walk of the Hundred Ghosts a Japanese thing?" Not to mention, it is still useful to do some homework on Baidu from time to time.

Zhong Lecen smiled: "Yes."

"How did it appear in China?"

"This one……"

Mai Mai's mind was spinning rapidly, and what Shao Jing said to him a few days ago became a string: "It can't be, it's made by splitting the space with ten swords, right?"

"Do you know Ten Swords?"

"Is it really Shizhijian? This Cangqiao Jun also came to look for Shizhijian? Where is Shizhijian?"

Zhong Lecen thought for a while, and answered the last question: "Ten Swords - Missing."
