Seeking immortality in a deceitful way starts by making oneself into a puppet

Longhe County has a unique geographical location, with a hanging river crossing the south and Fengshan Mountain in the north. It is also a hub connecting the inside and outside of the pass. With the thoroughfare dock connected to Zhonghuanzhou, it has been a place where merchants from all over the world have gathered since ancient times.

There are many docks in the river port, and naturally there are a group of laborers. In the fish market, there are also fishermen and boatmen who come from all over to sell fishermen...

Over time, people from all walks of life gradually gathered together, and with the help of idle men running errands in the market, three gangs and nine guilds also emerged in this mixed environment.

In addition to gangs, there are also some scoundrels and lazy people who do not work on weekdays. They love to fight and fight fiercely. They form cliques and cause troubles. They are also tyrants among the people.

These people are not gang members. They are commonly referred to as "green skins". To put it bluntly, they are a group of gangsters and hooligans.

Wu San is one of them. He is regarded as a typical figure among "green skins" and is nicknamed "Wu Bold".

Wu DaDahao was bold, but he was heartless, shameless, and shameless. He doesn't have a serious job. He usually does some loan lending and loan collection work for some gangs, and occasionally makes a guest appearance to collect protection fees.

Wu San had never learned any boxing or kicking skills, so he didn't rely on any skills to collect protection money.

He usually carries a sharp knife with him. When he goes to someone's shop, he sticks the knife on the table, and then he starts having sex with the shopkeeper or the waiter, getting close to him.

Finally, Wu Sanhui told the shopkeeper, Brother, I came to your boss to ask for money. Brother, will you give it to me?

The shopkeepers saw that he had a knife, but they were kind-hearted and most of them were reluctant to give it to him.

Wu San immediately became fierce, changed his face, and said, "You don't want to give it, okay, okay!"

The next second, he stabbed himself in the thigh with a knife.

At the sight of blood, the shopkeeper or waiter's face immediately turned pale with fright.

Wu San sneered, and slashed his face again. The blood was dripping, and it looked scary.

"If you don't give it, then my life will depend on this!"

Most of the time, when it comes to this point, the owner of the shop has nothing to do. He is afraid of blood, bad luck, and going to court if something goes wrong. In the end, he can only spend some money to settle the matter.

Green men like Wu San can fool most of the merchants with their strong hands. If they encounter those who are not afraid of trouble, then there are also the powerful methods of his employers, that is, the three gangs and nine societies. As the saying goes, "A strong dragon cannot overwhelm a local snake." If you want to do business in Longhe County, you cannot get around this hurdle.

Wu San is also a well-known figure among the young people in Longhe County, and he can be regarded as a moderate "smart guy". In addition to his reputation as "bold", everyone knows that he is extremely addicted to gambling.

When he had some money, he would gamble in a gambling house and borrow money when he lost. Wu San's family originally had a little money, but he squandered it all. His parents were angry to death, and his wife could only rely on milk to do some sewing. Do the washing work to run the house.

But not long after, Wu San lost money in the gambling house, so he simply pawned his wife out and raised some more gambling funds to continue squandering.

On this day, the little money he had pawned for his wife had been gambled away. He was so angry that he used the last remaining money to buy a bottle of wine and lay down by the stone bridge to enjoy the cool weather and drink.

When the sky got dark, Wu San got very drunk and slept beside the bluestone of the stone bridge. Halfway through his sleep, he heard someone calling his name.

"You are Wu San and Wu Dangdao."

A figure in black robes and black boots was looking down at him.

"I've heard about you. It's said that you are the bravest in the entire Longhe County?"

"What kind of birdman are you?"

Wu San rubbed his eyes and yawned.

"What do you want from your grandpa?"

"You are so brave, do you dare to make a bet with me?"

The man in black robe was not angry and said with a smile: "Go to a place with me. If you can stay there all night, the fifty taels of silver here will be yours."

I don't know when there was a money bag in his hand. The man opened the money bag, revealing the white money inside.

Wu San seemed to be dazzled by the silver, and his eyes widened.

"When you say bet, do you mean you bet that I will go somewhere with you and stay there for one night?"

"That's right."

"Is there anything so cheap in this world?"

"Of course not."

The man in black robe smiled and said, "I can tell you that that place is haunted. Do you, Wu Daring, dare to go?"

"Haunted?"

Wu San snorted coldly and said with ridicule: "I'm not even afraid of the King of Heaven, let alone being haunted?"

"Okay, then we've settled."

The man in black robe grinned and said solemnly: "But remember, once you agree to me, you will never go back on your promise midway."

"snort."

Wu San snorted disdainfully.

"I, Wu San, have always said what I say and what I say is true... But you have to give me the money first."

"good."

The man in black robe threw the money bag to him and pointed to the back, where a sedan appeared out of nowhere.

"Master Wu, please!"

…

Wu San yawned. He looked around blankly, his eyes sizing up this room for a long time.

This should be a two-story pavilion. There is a wooden ladder that leads directly to the second floor. There is no window around it. The four walls are decorated with large brocades, calligraphy and paintings, and screens. There is no bed here, only an octagonal table and a chair.

There are some pastries, a kettle, and stoneware cups on the table.

Wu San poured himself a glass of water, feeling something strangely inconsistent in his heart.

But he couldn't tell exactly where the problem was. He just glanced at the entrance door subconsciously.

The iron-wood door was closed tightly. The man in black robe said before leaving that the door would be locked and would not be opened until daytime.

"This group of people didn't trick me into coming here just to be trapped in this house, right?"

Wu San is not afraid of ghosts, but now he is muttering to himself and feeling a little regretful.

If the other party had malicious intentions and deceived him into this house and harmed him, who would he find to reason with.

"That's not the case! I'll give you fifty taels of silver if you ask me to. Besides, I, Wu San, am a pauper. What does the other party want?"

Wu San stared at the lamps on the lampstand on the table, feeling more and more suspicious. He vaguely noticed something and took out a sharp knife from his arms.

I thought to myself that no matter what the man in black robe wanted to do, he had a knife in his hand, and he was still afraid of him.

The lights are like beans.

Time passes like this bit by bit.

Wu San was a little sleepy. He hid the sharp knife in his arms and was about to lie down on the table and take a nap. Suddenly, he heard some kind of movement.

At this moment, Wu boldly opened his eyes, stood up straight suddenly, and took out the sharp knife from his arms. You must know that this house has no windows, the door is locked, and there are no outsiders in the whole attic. Where does this sound come from? Come.

hiss…

Vaguely, the sound seemed to come from behind, it was the sound of fabric being rubbed.

Wu San turned his head, holding the knife in his hand, and walked towards the direction of the sound. There was a wall.

The wall was blocked by a hanging brocade. He grabbed hard and tore off the brocade, his pupils suddenly constricted.

"W-what is this?"

Wu San took a few steps back. He wanted to escape, but found that his legs could not move.

"my leg?"

He looked down and found that his feet in straw sandals seemed to have melted, and his five toes were like rotten mud.

Wu San screamed and slid to the ground. He held down his legs. His legs became like this. He didn't feel any pain, just numbness, as if the feeling in his legs had completely disappeared.

He suddenly glanced at his palm, and screamed again. His hand was twisted, melted, and had long lost its original shape.

Oops!

It’s over!

Wu San's mind was also confused. He felt that his bones had become soft, and his body fell to the ground involuntarily. Then, his whole body dissolved and collapsed at an extraordinary speed, turning into a pile of liquid things.

This weird thing was slowly absorbed by the ground and turned into a blurry shadow. The shadow moved its limbs and slowly slid from the ground to the wall. Soon, it came to the wall and gradually emerged as an outline.

The person's face, facial features, nose, eyebrows, and eyes slowly appeared, and then Wu San's entire body also appeared on the wall, including the clothes on his body, the sharp knife in his hand, and the money in his belt. The bags seem to be drawn into shape by an invisible pen.

In the end, Wu San became one of the dozens of faces on the wall, juxtaposed with other figures.

This strange scene in the room was clearly seen and completely recorded by a glass bead-like eye hidden on the beam.
