Urban Witcher

After having dinner on the snack street near their residence, the two walked back and passed by a night market street. Ye Shaoyang saw a stall selling clothes, so he dragged Xiao Ma over to buy some clothes.

"Let's go to the mall, the things here are too..." Xiao Ma glanced at the stall owner, a big guy, and didn't have the nerve to say clearly.

Ye Shaoyang also understood, and retorted: "Why do you go to the mall? It's so expensive, isn't it different from this? Look at this material and this brand. It's still from Adidas. Can the mall buy it so cheap?"

Xiao Ma glanced at the snickering customers around him, and really wanted to say that he didn't know this kid.

Ye Shao quickly picked out some clothes and two pairs of sneakers. When he asked about the price, the total cost was less than 500 yuan. Ye Shaoyang gave the boss 600 yuan and asked him to change the money. Thick blood pooled on his chin, on the banknote in his hand.

Startled suddenly, I blinked and looked again, and it turned into the boss counting the money with a happy face. There was no blood on his face, and there was no money on it.

Phantom of death? Ye Shaoyang frowned.

"Come on, young man, here's the money." The boss stuffed a handful of change into Ye Shaoyang's hand.

Ye Shaoyang counted and saw a green banknote, secretly startled, and calmly said to the boss: "Boss, there is a problem with the money, change it for me."

"what is the problem?"

"look by youself."

The boss took it, and after looking at it, his face turned pale: the amount of the banknote was capitalized fifty yuan, and the head portrait of the leader on it was replaced by a majestic elder wearing a tasseled crown. There is a line of words written at the bottom: Fengdu Ministry of Industry...

"This is... Mingbi!" The boss tremblingly said, "Where did you get Mingbi!"

Ye Shaoyang said: "I don't know, what do you mean by finding me Mingbi?"

The boss gradually regained his composure, rolled his eyes, and said, "Young man, you are too rude. You saw the change I made just now. They are all in RMB. How could there be ghost coins? Are you trying to extort money? That's not okay." How unlucky it is to use such indecent means."

Seeing that his eyes flickered, Ye Shaoyang knew everything, thought about it, but didn't expose it, smiled, grabbed the pony who wanted to reason, winked, turned and left.

"Little Ye Zi, what are you dragging me to do? The money clearly belongs to him. Why are you afraid of him?" Going to a dark corner with few people, Xiao Ma said angrily.

Ye Shaoyang told him what he had seen before, "It was an illusion of death, indicating that there was a ghost haunting him and he was about to die soon. Ordinary people can't see it, but mages can see it. Many folk mages rely on This judges the fate of others."

Xiao Ma was stunned, and murmured: "So, he must die?"

"No, anyone who has an illusion of death is a person who is about to die. If it is an accident, then there is no hope. There is a fixed number in the book of life and death. When you die, no matter what you do, you will not be able to escape. This kind of violent death, which is not recorded in the book of life and death, is to be harmed by ghosts, demons and evil spirits.

Many people obviously still have a good lifespan, but if they are killed by ghosts and demons, they will die if they die. Therefore, ghosts and demons cannot harm others, and those who harm others must be punished. There is only one exception. Have you ever heard of ghosts buying their lives? "

Pony shook his head nervously, "I don't know these things."

Ye Shaoyang glanced at the stall owner, who was still selling things, anyway, he was waiting here, and had nothing else to do, so Ye Shaoyang sat the pony on the bench by the roadside, and talked about ghosts buying their lives allusion:

"After a person dies, his soul enters the Yin Division. If he has not done anything bad before his death, he will be assigned to the Department of Reincarnation and wait for reincarnation. Because there are too many ghosts, reincarnation also has to wait in line. Sometimes it takes one or two years to wait. Kind of, was requisitioned as a ghost soldier or a ghost servant, and before the death anniversary and ghost festival when he was alive, he can go back to the world to visit relatives, which is also a kind of welfare, right?

These people are usually watched by ghost messengers so as not to cause trouble in the world. Some ghosts who were killed by others will take advantage of this opportunity to bribe ghost messengers and demand their lives from the person who killed them. Commonly known as ghost buying life, that is to say, I bought your life with the money, and I can kill you. "

Xiao Ma was startled and murmured: "Does the King of Hades not care about this kind of thing?"

"This is the unspoken rule of the underworld. As long as the ghost messenger acquiesces, the matter is not excessive, and the king of Hades will not care. The ghost of the person who was killed will go to the underworld. Because of this incident, some of the sins committed during his lifetime will be offset, so he will not sue. .

If you want to buy your life, you must meet two conditions. One is that the ghost who died unjustly did not make any mistakes during his lifetime. There are not many such cases, so it doesn't happen often that ghosts pay for their lives. "

After listening to Xiao Ma, he turned to look at the stall owner. He was a man in his thirties, chubby and unattractive. The fat woman next to him should be his wife. Xiao Ma shook his head and said, "I really can't see that someone murdered this profiteer."

Ye Shaoyang said: "The murderer didn't have words engraved on his face, how can ordinary people see it?"

"That's right," said Xiao Ma, "but, Xiao Yezi, do you want to meddle in this matter? It's legal for a ghost to pay for his life, and this person is also a murderer, so there's no need to save him, right?"

"Of course not, but it's not a routine procedure for a ghost to buy his life. If it can be avoided, it's better to let him lie in the underworld." Ye Shaoyang said thoughtfully.

"Then what to do?" asked the pony.

"Wait a minute, let's find out why they bought his life."

The two sat on the stool, watching the stall owner silently, waiting for him to close the stall. The stall owner didn't know that he was in trouble, and was still selling products with spit, happily collecting money and counting the money. Xiao Ma shook his head, and said with emotion: "It's ironic that I'm almost dead and still working hard to make money here."

Ye Shaoyang smiled, and said something very profound: "Aren't all people in the world like this?"

Ye Shaoyang thought about it, Xie Yuqing might be needed tonight, so he called her, told her where she was, and said that if he had something important to find her, he must come.

"By the way, little leaf," Xiao Ma suddenly remembered something, and said, "Which one is the money for the underworld, the straw paper burned in the world, or this ghost coin?"

"Papyrus can't be spent directly, it must be exchanged by the Yinqian Department for Ming coins before it can be used in the underworld."

Xiao Ma nodded, "Oh, foreign exchange."

Twenty minutes later, Xie Yuqing came to find her.

"Hey, little magic stick, why are you calling your sister so late?"

Ye Shaoyang glanced at her secretly, and said with a smile, "I invite you to dinner."

Xie Yuqing looked at Xiao Ma at the side, and said, "Three together?"

"Can't it be three people? Do you want to make an appointment with me alone?"

Xie Yuqing kicked him and said, "Stop joking, what's the matter?"

Ye Shaoyang pouted at the busy stall owner not far away, and told the story again. After hearing this, Xie Yuqing was also surprised, looked at Ye Shaoyang, and murmured: "You are a mage, this kind of What should you do, what do you want me to do?"

Ye Shaoyang leaned close to her ear on purpose, and told his plan...
