Chapter Twenty-Four: The Human Heart Is Worse Than Demons
"Let's go with you!" Perhaps sensing that her voice was too loud, Zhao Xiaoya shrank her neck embarrassedly and said.
Shen Hao frowned, he let the second daughter stay here for fear that they would be in danger, but it seemed that if they didn't bring them, they wouldn't dare to stay here, Shen Hao had to nod helplessly: "Follow me, don't leave my side." ”
The cry in the fire escape floated from time to time, whimpering, as Zhao Xiaoya said, it was a child's cry.
As they approached the fire escape, Zhao Xiaoya and Song Qiuyun became more and more nervous, Shen Hao twitched his hand, he didn't twitch, he looked at the second daughter helplessly: "Two beauties, can you not hold my hands so tightly?
Zhao Xiaoya and Song Qiuyun blushed and glanced at Shen Hao when they heard this, and then grabbed one of his clothes respectively and carefully hid behind him.
Shen Hao ran his spiritual eyes and stepped into the fire escape, at this time his location was Zhao Xiaoya's studio on the right, and opposite and behind him were the stairs up and down the stairs.
Looking around, Shen Hao frowned slightly, and with a wave of his fingers, the yin qi in the fire escape slowly melted like winter snow that met the sun.
After the yin qi disappeared, Zhao Xiaoya and Song Qiuyun suddenly felt relieved, they were not so scared and nervous, and the cry also disappeared, and they were suddenly amazed.
"The crying is gone, what's going on?" Zhao Xiaoya let go of the hand that was holding Shen Hao's clothes and looked around suspiciously.
Song Qiuyun turned on the light of the fire escape, and the passage lit up in an instant, which was completely different from the previous gloom, although it was still very deserted, but there was no such palpitating feeling.
Shen Hao was frowning and looking inside the fire escape at this time, and it didn't take long for his eyes to fix his gaze on the sign of the safety exit at the staircase.
"Found it!" Shen Hao snorted softly and walked towards the sign of the safe exit.
Zhao Xiaoya and Song Qiuyun followed behind him in confusion, watching him disassemble the shell of the logo and fall out of it A small piece of wood, which was carved with blood-red lines, made people feel inexplicably uncomfortable at a glance.
"What is this?" Zhao Xiaoya asked, pointing to the wood, wanting to reach out and touch it but didn't dare.
"Soul Tree, the cry you hear is from the imp hiding inside. Shen Hao explained lightly, then pinched the trick on the soul wood, and shouted softly: "Come out!"
A piercing scream sounded in the ears of several people, and then Zhao Xiaoya and Song Qiuyun saw the blood of the soul wood in Shen Hao's hand flash, and the figure of a child appeared at the top of the stairs.
The child's face was pale, only his eyes were red, there were two lines of blood and tears in the corners of his eyes, and his body was almost transparent, so frightened that Zhao Xiaoya and Song Qiuyun hid behind Shen Hao again, closed their eyes and didn't dare to look.
"Hell!! Shen Hao, get rid of him quickly!" Zhao Xiaoya patted Shen Hao's back, shouting with a crying voice.
"Okay, don't be afraid, he won't dare to hurt you with me here. Shen Hao shook his head with a wry smile, looked at the child and said, "This little guy is not malicious, but the person behind him is vicious!"
When Zhao Xiaoya heard this, she dared to open her eyes and look at the child, but she saw that it was squatting on the ground with its head in her hands and trembling at this time, and her eyes looking at Shen Hao were full of fear.
"Huh, this ghost is afraid of you?" After noticing this, Zhao Xiaoya finally breathed a sigh of relief and asked Shen Hao curiously.
Shen Hao nodded, beckoned to the little ghost, "Come here." ”
"Woo woo...... the little ghost let out a terrible cry again, squatted in place and shook his head, not daring to move.
Shen Hao...... Let's let it squat, don't let it come......" Zhao Xiaoya couldn't help but shudder.
Song Qiuyun also nodded hurriedly, and her body took two steps back, not daring to get too close.
"For the sake of your nature is not bad and you haven't harmed anyone, I will give you two choices now, one is to become my ghost pet and follow me to cultivate in the future, and the other is that I will help you release the shackles of the soul tree on you, and you can leave this city by yourself and go to a deserted mountain land, don't come out to scare people in the future. ”
Shen Hao looked at the little ghost, thinking that it would not be easy for it to cultivate into a yin spirit in a place like the earth, so he lost the idea of destroying it and gave it two choices.
The little ghost hesitated, and only after half a sound did he slowly stand up, raised his pale little finger and pointed at the soul tree, and he didn't know what it meant.
"I know someone trapped you here, but the ban he left behind is easy for me to break, so you don't have to worry. Shen Hao understood what the little ghost meant, and replied.
"I ...... Follow... Make move...... You ......" The imp opened his mouth and said four words with difficulty, as if it was difficult for him to speak.
"Yes, you made the right choice. Shen Hao chuckled and nodded, and under the pinching of his hands, the soul wood floated into the air, and the blood-colored lines above gradually disappeared, and the blood color in the little ghost's eyes gradually dissipated, and his eyes returned to the luster of a normal person, but they were still transparent.
"Shen Hao, what are you ......" Zhao Xiaoya didn't understand what Shen Hao was doing, but she understood that Shen Hao wanted to take the little ghost with him.
Shen Hao grabbed the soul wood in his hand, and then stretched out to the little ghost: "Come in." ”
A flash of light flashed, and the little ghost returned to the soul wood, Shen Hao put the soul wood in his pocket, and then turned back to Zhao Xiaoya and the others and explained: "This little guy was just trapped in the soul wood and stayed in this building, it itself has no intention of harming people, but the person who left it here has sinister intentions." ”
"He carved a blood spirit ban on the soul wood, and wanted to raise that little guy into a blood ghost, after a while, it will be the Zhongyuan Festival, and it is also the time when the yin qi between heaven and earth is at its peak, if my expectations are correct, that person must want to start the ban at that time, and sacrifice everyone in this building with blood to achieve blood ghosts!"
"Ah?!Then you mean that this ghost was put here by someone? It's not this ghost that will harm us, it's a person?" Zhao Xiaoya asked in surprise.
"That's right. Shen Hao nodded, and persuaded him: "You can find a time to move the studio out of here as soon as possible, preferably before the Midyear Festival." That man's plan has been ruined by me, and he will definitely come here to check if he notices, and if you continue to work here, you may be in danger. ”
"Okay, I'll start looking for a new office building tomorrow!" Zhao Xiaoya nodded, her personality was decisive.
"I didn't expect there to be such a bad person! I actually used ghosts to harm people!" Song Qiuyun was afraid for a while after listening to Shen Hao's words, if Shen Hao didn't come to help them, wouldn't it mean that they would all be killed on the day of the Midyear Festival?
Blood sacrifice! It's terrible to hear!
Zhao Xiaoya and Song Qiuyun were both atheists before, if they hadn't seen this scene with their own eyes today, who would have thought that there were still these things in this world?
"That...... Shen Hao, you will be fine with that ghost with you, right?" Zhao Xiaoya asked worriedly.
"Yin spirit cultivation is not easy, especially in a barren place like the earth, this little guy is a yin spirit who became by chance, not by human sacrifice, since you have encountered it, let's help it." Shen Hao chuckled.
He didn't know if there was anyone on the earth who would sacrifice the Yin Spirit, but the little ghost he subdued was obviously not refined, and this could still be distinguished with his eyes.
After getting in the car, Song Qiuyun and Shen Hao exchanged mobile phone numbers, and then Zhao Xiaoya sent Shen Hao back to Biyun Community, and made an appointment to invite him to dinner another day to thank him.
After Shen Hao left, only Zhao Xiaoya and Song Qiuyun were left in the car, seeing that Zhao Xiaoya had been watching Shen Hao disappear at the door of the community, Song Qiuyun couldn't help but quip: "Xiaoya, don't look at it, everyone is gone! Anyway, you won't like this Master Shen, right?"
"What nonsense, I just think he's so powerful, who would have thought that there would be ghosts in this world, and he is still a person who can subdue demons and eliminate demons!" Zhao Xiaoya said with a blushing face.
"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes today, I wouldn't have believed anyone telling me this!" Song Qiuyun said with emotion.
"Eh, why did you say the Shen family kicked him out of the house? I feel like he's not bad after getting along with him? Zhao Xiaoya said puzzled.
"It's pretty good, he's handsome, and he can catch ghosts, but I don't know if it's a big flower, I just know that you may be a nymphomaniac!" Song Qiuyun grinned.
By the way, you must not talk to others about today's events, Shen Hao has explained it several times just now. Zhao Xiaoya pinched Song Qiuyun's slender waist, and then changed her words.
"Yes! He said it so many times, and you said it so many times that my ears could hear the calluses! Besides, no one would believe such a thing, unless we saw it with our own eyes. Song Qiuyun rolled her eyes and said.
"That's just as well. Zhao Xiaoya nodded, and suddenly remembered that Shen Hao was still setting up a stall in the antique street, and asked with a turn of her eyes: "Qiu Yun, do you think Shen Hao really knows fortune telling?"
"Hmm...... It should be a little better, didn't you say that he is now working as a god stick in the back street of the antique street? Another day, we will go to him and calculate it, and see if he can calculate it accurately?" Song Qiuyun said.
"Okay! Let's go another day!"
"Wow, isn't it? You laughed so much when you said you were going to find Master Shen?"
"Where do I have ......?"
The Audi A6 gradually drifted away while the two daughters were laughing, and when Shen Hao returned to Chen Rongrong's house, Chen Rongrong hadn't slept yet, so she sat in the living room and waited for him.
"Still not sleeping so late?" Shen Hao looked at Chen Rongrong in surprise while changing his shoes.
"You're back, I thought you'd spend the night outside!" Chen Rongrong rolled her eyes at Shen Hao, but when she saw him, she was relieved.
She knew that Shen Hao was asked out to drink by a woman, and she didn't know why she was always very irritable and sleepy, and when she saw Shen Hao at this time, she immediately felt sleepy.
"I'm going to sleep, the water heater is on for you, you take a shower and go to bed early, good night!" Chen Rongrong stretched and ran back to the room.
"This Nizi won't be waiting for me to come back, right?" Shen Hao glanced at the closed door of Chen Rongrong's bedroom suspiciously, shook his head with a smile, and a trace of warmth rose in his heart.
