Chapter 45: Strange Things in the House, Wandering the Old Way

In the Nakajima Villa Garden, the warm sunlight shines through the branches and buds of the ginkgo trees, covering the entire grass and pools, and under the water of the bridge, you can see the koi swimming in groups.

Xia Chan tore the bread crumbs with great interest, watching those fat koi fish scramble into a piece, and even some koi were arched to reveal their yellow-white fish maw.

Jiang Yuanjin on the side smiled and said softly: "If you have had enough, let's go back...... You still have a lot to do!"

Xia Chan wrinkled her nose, threw the rest of the bread into the pool, trotted over and hugged Jiang Yuanjin's arm and said coquettishly: "Master, are you really because you used a straw man to rule a person, and the other party gave you the villa?"

Jiang Yuanjin nodded with a smile and asked, "And then?"

"Then ......" Xia Chan's dark eyes rolled and said flatteringly: "Then will you hand over the straw man method to me...... I can save the world, too!"

"You, you want to run away before you learn to walk!" Jiang Yuanjin saw her careful thoughts at a glance, and scolded with a smile: "You can't even draw an evil talisman, so you want to learn the straw man method?"

"It's so hard to exorcise evil spirits...... There are so many things to look out for. Xia Chan pursed her lips and hummed.

If her classmates saw her appearance at this time, I am afraid that their eyes would fall in shock.

You must know that in their eyes, Xia Chan is a girl who is not very close to her, seems to be polite but is actually a little alienated from anyone.

But at this time, she was such a little girl, except for her parents, she would only be like this in front of the master.

"So, do you think that the grass man is easier than the exorcism talisman?" Jiang Yuanjin patted her brain, "You, you learned the fire cloud spell and your tail is cocked, right?"

"Where is the ...... In terms of talent, where can I compare to you, Master? Xia Chan said with a look of adoration.

"It's useless to please me......" The two of them said as they walked towards Courtyard No. 8.

……

The path of Nakajima Villa Park is naturally accessible in all directions.

On another stone path, Cheng Rongjian, who lived in No. 9 Courtyard, was walking home with an old man who looked like a Taoist priest.

"Genji Dao Chief...... Wait a minute, I'll leave everything to you!" Cheng Rongjian was quite respectful in his words, but the gloomy aura that had been dispelled by Jiang Yuanjin before covered his face again.

He has been troubled by the affairs of his family for a long time, and when he meets a master of the Tao at this time, he naturally respects it.

"Fusheng Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, the poor Dao should do his best!" The old Taoist priest Xuanji nodded, his expression was like a bone fairy, but the eyes were a little small and a little round, turning around under the thick eyebrows, just like two mice, hiding a little cunning and a little philistine.

"If the Taoist can solve the affairs of the family, Cheng will be grateful. ”

"The layman is polite, money is something outside the body......"

The two were walking, but they met Jiang Yuanjin and Xia Chan at the intersection of the path.

"Is it your sister?" Cheng Rongjian said reluctantly.

Jiang Yuanjin glanced at Cheng Rongjian, then at the Xuanji Daoist behind him, and responded with a smile: "No...... It's my apprentice!"

Cheng Rongjian was a little curious in his heart, Jiang Yuanjin had an apprentice at such a young age, what did he teach?

It's just that at this moment, I don't have the heart to care about other people's affairs.

He nodded, and was about to leave with Xuanji Daoren, but he didn't expect Jiang Yuanjin to stop him.

"What's wrong with you in such a hurry?"

Cheng Rongjian stopped and hesitated for a moment and said, "Don't hide it from my brother, it's because there is a bit of weirdness in the family, so I asked Daoist Xuanji to cast a spell to exorcise evil spirits......"

"Weird......" Jiang Yuanjin pondered for a while and said, "But I don't know if it's convenient to take me to see it?"

Cheng Rongjian wanted to refuse, but for some reason he remembered the scene of the first meeting that day, his hand was held by this young man, and the coolness and exhaustion on his body were gone...... Then the ghost nodded in disgust.

"Daoist Xuanji won't mind, right?" Jiang Yuanjin said as he looked at Daoist Xuanji with a smile.

"It's okay, but you have to stand far away when casting the spell, so as not to be affected...... "Xuanji nodded and said, although he was reluctant, but the master said so, how could he object.

Cheng Rongjian and Xuanji walked in front, while Jiang Yuanjin and Xia Chan followed unhurriedly behind.

At this time, Xia Chan secretly pulled Jiang Yuanjin's sleeve and whispered, "Master...... That Taoist priest is a fake Taoist priest!"

Jiang Yuanjin glanced at him with a smile and asked, "Oh...... How do you see that?"

"His eyes are too worldly, too philistine, not like the eyes of a cultivator!" Xia Chan said with a frown.

Jiang Yuanjin was noncommittal, smiled and said, "Well, then let's take a look." ”

Soon several people arrived at the ninth courtyard, and the door was opened by a young woman in her thirties who still had charm.

It's just that her eyebrows, like Cheng Rongjian, are full of gloom.

"Lao Cheng...... Come in......" The young woman beckoned with some weakness, "these are the ......."

"This is the Xuanji Taoist of Zhengyi, who has learned the Tao and has traveled here, and I am fortunate to invite him to take a look for us...... These two are our neighbors, the new residents of No. 8 Courtyard......" Cheng Rongjian introduced.

The young woman hurriedly welcomed a few people in, but she was obviously much more enthusiastic about the attitude of the Xuanji Dao people.

Jiang Yuanjin didn't care either, and walked in with Xia Chan.

Xia Chan looked up, only to feel shocked in her heart, and exclaimed urgently: "Master!"

Jiang Yuanjin looked at her with a smile and nodded.

The faint smile on his face seemed to make the sunlight suddenly break through the clouds and shine into her heart, making her restless heart settle down in an instant.

Xia Chan instantly quieted down and sat down with Jiang Yuanjin and the others.

She keenly noticed that the Genyoshi Daoist didn't seem to be aware of what was hovering on the roof......

After everyone sat down, Cheng Rongjian told the story of what he remembered.

"It's been about half a year since we moved here, and as soon as we moved in, we felt a little shady, but it was close to the mountains and water, so I thought it was quite cool.

But since last month, we have been having nightmares every day as a family of five......"

"If only that were it, but the other night, my wife and I heard the sound of rustling on the roof, but when we went upstairs to check, it was empty.

After more than ten hours, the sound overhead became clearer and clearer, sometimes someone was pacing back and forth, sometimes it seemed to be shaking the corners of the clothes, sometimes it seemed like someone was running, but when I went upstairs to check, it was empty.

That night, my family stayed up all night, and in a trance I saw something black more than a meter long crawling out of the top beam, like a horse's tail, slowly hanging down from above.

The drooping black thing still showed two eyes, the size of almonds, and a faint green light in the eyes, and looked at me motionlessly, but disappeared in the blink of an eye......"

"My parents are old, these days I let them live back in the old house, and my son has followed them, my husband and wife are reluctant to this house, so I think if I can find a way...... Then I asked the Taoist chief to come and have a look. ”

Xuanji Daoren pondered for a moment, then raised his eyes to look outside, stroked his beard and said, "Don't worry...... Let me see!"
