Since the ghost man was to be invited away, Hu Ma also seriously considered which one to invite!

The first thing is, of course, you have to be capable.

Not only do you have to learn the skills of a ghost walker, but you also need to at least have a very good understanding of them before you can further work on the Zhensui book. Therefore, this ghost walker is like your tutor.

Again, you have to have a good temper.

I am stealing from a teacher instead of becoming a disciple. If I learn something bad and offend others, I will lose more than I gain.

However, Hu Ma has not thought about becoming a master. It is too troublesome to operate. He is now the shopkeeper of the Blood Food Gang and a person who keeps the year. It is difficult to skip one door and become a master of another door. There are too many rules on both sides.

They are different and difficult to balance.

If I really want to become a disciple, I don’t know how much work would be wasted.

Of course, in addition to being capable and good-tempered, the most important thing is that you have to be kind-hearted and not so frivolous. Otherwise, if you fool yourself with three truths and one lie, you may be in trouble at some point.

With these criteria in mind, he thought about the several ghost walkers in his mind one by one. When Tsing Yi was troubled earlier, many ghost walkers came to help. Although time was tight, everyone only met by chance.

We didn't talk much, but we left an impression on each other.

After much thinking, I still thought of the old man who was holding an old cow with a child on its back. I remembered that his surname was Zhao and he lived in Zhao's shop.

So Hu Ma took the time to go over before setting off. The old man was weeding in the field and was called back. When he saw it was Hu Ma, he was startled: "The little shopkeeper who is trying to squeeze people is here again...

"

Hu Ma hurriedly greeted him and said with a smile: "It's not about crowding people out, it's just the point of curiosity!"

"Old man, I need your help this time."

"..."

Old man Zhao suddenly looked wary: "Is there another trouble happening there?"

"That's not..."

Hu Ma hurriedly smiled bitterly, shook his head and said: "This time, a friend of mine passed away unfortunately, and I need to carry the coffin back to her hometown, Lingshou Mansion in Anzhou."

"I remember hearing someone say that the old gentleman was good at supporting spirits, so I hurriedly found him..."

"Hulling?"

Old man Zhao was a little surprised and said: "You still have to ask me about supporting the spirit?"

"You are the boss of the Blood Food Gang. With all your abilities, how can any road bandit or water tyrant dare to provoke you if you are here to help?"

"..."

Hu Ma hurriedly smiled and said: "I'm not afraid of road bandits and water tyrants, but I don't understand the rules on this road. That person was my friend, and even though he is gone, I still have to make her feel more stable along the way."

good."

"That's true."

Old man Zhao heard Hu Ma's sincerity, so he tied up the cow and asked, "When will we leave?"

Hu Ma thought for a while and then said: "Without further delay, we will set off in the next two days."

Old man Zhao said: "You are so anxious, you are not prepared enough..."

Hu Ma hurriedly said: "As soon as the food and travel expenses are paid, I will prepare them in my village. I also asked people from the mule and horse agency and the escort agency to draw a copy of the itinerary, and the cars and livestock for the journey are also prepared."

"Besides, along the way, in addition to the friend's family, I will also follow and hire two strong men who can not only work but also support the number of people. I don't have to worry about the dangers on the road. All I need is the old man.

If you have the ability, just follow us."

"..."

"Eating and drinking with the Blood Food Gang, the food should be good..."

Old Man Zhao grinned, showing a gaping tooth, and said, "Then how much money will you give me?"

"?"

Hu Ma originally wanted to take the initiative, but he didn't expect him to ask. Don't ghosts generally not ask for money?

"Anyway, you Blood Food Gang are not short of money."

Old man Zhao seemed to know what Hu Ma was thinking, and said with a smile: "So just tell me first, and I will see if your little shopkeeper is generous."

Hu Ma thought for a moment, then stretched out three fingers and said: "Three..."

"Thirty taels?"

Old man Zhao was surprised when he heard this and said: "This is thirty taels in addition to food and drinks? You have to make a good deal."

"...I originally wanted to say three hundred taels!"

Hu Ma was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly understood.

Yes, now that I am more capable and have money in my hands, I subconsciously feel that my price is too high.

I don’t have three hundred taels, so I’m really too lazy to meddle in my own business.

But the ghost wanderer between the villages, with someone taking care of food and drink, went out to work for a month or two, and ended up with thirty taels of silver in vain. It was already a good job, so he smiled hurriedly.

He said: "That's natural. If you have a hard time on the road, you should pay more!"

"The little shopkeeper is still so generous..."

Old man Zhao sighed with emotion and said: "But I'm thinking that I can't take this job..."

"?"

Hu Ma was suddenly surprised: "Is it still too little?"

Then I saw Old Man Zhao hurriedly waving his hands and saying: "Don't get me wrong, little shopkeeper. I have seen that you are a generous and kind person earlier. But, in front of you, the old man will not lie."

"I'm a ghost walker, and I've helped people support their spirits, but running a hundred or two hundred miles is not bad, but I've never run such a long distance."

"It's not that we don't want to make money from you, the main reason is that we're afraid of delaying your business, so I'm planning to introduce you to a more powerful ghost walking talent."

"But he is also an honest person, so you don't have to worry."

"..."

"More powerful?"

Hu Ma was slightly startled. This old man Zhao was already quite capable among the ghost hunters he helped in the past. What would he be like if he said he was powerful?

"Of course, we are little walking ghosts, and others are big walking ghosts..."

When Old Man Zhao mentioned that person, he looked serious and sighed: "Last time there was trouble, we went to your place to help, and she went to the city to help, and she also saved a lot of people!"

"In our village, when we encounter something we can't handle, we all go to her. There's no one who won't help."

"I asked so carefully just now because I wanted to give her the job!"

"What do you think, little shopkeeper?"

"..."

"There's no reason to say something bad about this kind of thing..."

Hu Ma said hurriedly: "The old man has much more experience than me, so I naturally have to listen to him. If it is appropriate, I will also have to respect the old man..."

"You guys from the Blood Food Gang just open your mouth and keep silent about asking for money. You lack human touch."

Old man Zhao waved his hand and said: "I will ask her tonight. If it is suitable, I will go to your village early tomorrow morning to have a look."

"Then I'll trouble you, old man!"

After returning to Zhuangzi, Hu Ma first asked Xiao Hongtang to go to the city and ask Master Xu Xiang for a month's leave. This was a simple matter. It was not a busy time in the first place, and since they were all on their own, Master Xu Xiang not only agreed to the leave.

, and asked Xiao Hongtang to bring back a document.

With it, you can go everywhere. Although the government doesn't care about things now, if you encounter an interrogation, this thing can play a big role.

Xiang Yatou has also been picked up from Caoxin Hall, and the coffin has been placed in the inner courtyard.

At first, the guys were shocked when they saw the coffin entering the village, and they all had condolence notes ready. Then they realized it was a false alarm and stretched their necks to look at it.

The old housekeeper put pillows and thick bedding inside, and Zhou Datong was worried that Xiang girl was holding it in. After punching holes in the coffin, he deliberately lay down in it and slept for a while to make sure that she wouldn't be holding it in.

That's good.

The old housekeeper was very moved when he saw it, and then changed another bedding.

After finishing all this, Hu Mobian took out a large bag of dried meat from the blood food that had just been reimbursed by the meeting, took some money, steamed buns, cakes, steamed buns, and brought dried vegetables and two large sheepskins.

One bag is used to hold water, and two bags of rice and noodles are used for emergencies.

After falling asleep, when he got up the next day, the ghost man Zhao Old Man had already arrived. The courtyard door was open, but he did not break in. He only waited outside the village. Zhao Zhu, who had gotten up early, saw him and hurriedly welcomed him in.

Hu Ma heard the movement and came out, but was slightly startled.

In addition to Old Man Zhao, there was also a woman wearing coarse clothes and carrying a small baggage.

She was tall and slender, and she looked to be only in her twenties. Her face was dark and red, and she was dark and pretty. She looked a little shy, so she followed Old Man Zhao with her head lowered.

Hu Ma looked at the other party curiously: "Is this the powerful stooge that Old Man Zhao said?"

Seeing that Mr. Zhao, who was over fifty years old, called himself a little walking ghost and wanted to introduce him to a big walking ghost, I thought he was an older man.
