C16 (1/2)
Under the large plaque, there was a person standing. That person had his back facing the door, staring at the large characters on the plaque. Even though Liu'er and a few others came in, he did not turn around. Liu'er saw that he was short and round, and looked like a meatball. Two legs as thick as pillars firmly stepped on the stone slab. They looked like a stone statue that had been beaten by the wind and rain for many years, and had a touch of vicissitudes.
But no matter if it was a violent storm or a torrential rain, don't even dream of shaking him in the slightest!
There were two people on the left and right side of that person. One of them was someone that Liu Qing recognized. It was his Big Bro Jiang. The other man was dressed in blue, his hair tied up in a bun. The two strands of hair tied around his shoulders had turned gray, and he no longer looked young. He held a judge's pen made of pure iron in his right hand and his left hand was placed behind his back. The judge's pen in his hand was about a foot and three inches long. There was a dragon engraved on the body of the pen.
Even though this person was already in his prime, standing in front of the young and handsome River City, he didn't seem to be at a disadvantage at all.
Seeing that no one was asking, Zhang Ye did not take the initiative to answer them. He walked to a table and sat down to pour tea for himself.
After a long while, the chunky man finally said, ”Could it be that ghosts really exist in this world?” He did not turn around, and his voice was not loud either. However, it was extremely ancient, as if he was speaking to himself.
Zhang Chu greedily took a sip of tea and said, ”There really is one.”
That person asked, ”What the hell?” This time, he was asking.
Zhang Wei said, ”Gamblers, drunkards, sex maniacs, money-grubbers, greedy ghosts, and another kind of people are also considered ghosts.”
That person asked, ”Who is it?”
Zhang Ye said, ”A person with a guilty conscience.”
The man's body seemed to waver and fall into silence.
At times, only the ghost in his heart could shake him, because only he himself knew how terrifying this ghost was!
After an unknown amount of time, that person seemed to sigh softly and finally turned around. Liu saw that his round face already had a lot of creases on it, like the ruts on the road after a rainy day, messy and deep.
He must have experienced something that ordinary people couldn't. Otherwise, how could there be so many wrinkles and so deep?
There was also a crocodile on the man's round belly. It was not an embroidery print on his clothes, but a crocodile made of pure gold. It looked like a button on his belt. The crocodile was about the size of a palm and swayed back and forth with the man's belly.
Liu'er seemed a little bored, as if this person really liked to show off. It could be seen from both the inside and outside of the hall, as well as the way this person was dressed.
It was completely out of place with the black words on the huge board!
Liu'er had naturally guessed that this person was the master of the Immortal Crocodile Manor, Jiang Zhong Crocodile. However, she hadn't expected that it would be like this. Ever since he saw River City, Xiao Lan, Bai Wen, Bai Wu and even the person who wrote the letter, he didn't think that the people from the Immortal Crocodile Manor should be like this.
Especially the crocodiles in the river, this was even more inappropriate!
River Crocodile's eyes swept across the people in the hall, and finally asked Zhang Jiu Zhi: ”Then was last night's person a human or a ghost?”
Zhang Jiu said, ”Yes, it's a ghost.”
The crocodile in the middle of the river asked again, ”What the hell?”
Zhang Wei said, ”Death Seeker!”
