50. Xiangrong Lane 1
Without a job, Jian Tianyuan thought of various ways to make money. In the name of subduing demons and eliminating demons, by the way, looking at the eight characters of feng shui, it is barely enough to make a living. Because of his hard work during this time, he has also made a name for himself in the circle of local tyrants of all sizes, and his life is quite free. Tumenqing's compensation for the decoration money had already been paid to the account, but he was not in a hurry and continued to live in Allen's house to eat and drink.
The days still have to pass, the business still has to be done, and the orders on Tao and Bao have to be received as usual. Although the business of the local tyrants is very oily, most of them are little ghosts, and that evil spirit is far from enough for him to raise the soul bead of his right eye - or the dragon ball. These days, although the business is doing well, he still has to go to the cemetery every other night to absorb the evil qi, and Jian Tianyuan is miserable.
Jian Tianyuan complained to Tumen Qing with dark circles under his eyes, but in the end he only got a cold snort from the other party.
But this mood suddenly disappeared without a trace when he saw the dark and oppressive evil qi in the sky of Xiangrong Lane, and his heart was very excited, and he finally had the evil qi that could feed the Dragon Balls.
Xiangrong Lane is located in the old industrial area of Jiangbei City. It's still unexplored, and it's full of decay. This area is a well-known slum area in Jiangbei City. When he first received this order, Jian Tianyuan still felt that the money was too small and didn't care too much, but when he arrived at the scene and saw this evil spirit, especially after picking up the cemetery for a long time, he suddenly felt that even if he only gave a hundred yuan, he would have to accept this order!
Jian Tianyuan wore a white gown, linen-colored wide-legged pants, and a brown cloth bag on his back, which attracted a burst of sideways glances and whispers.
It was eight o'clock in the evening, and more than a dozen elderly people gathered at the mouth of the alley to enjoy the shade. Some are holding a fan while chatting with the people next to them, some are sitting on a small pony and rolling up a trouser leg, wearing a floral vest and a teacup filled with water at their feet, and some are wearing a wide cloth skirt with rich peony flowers on the skirt, and the waist is not visible...... On the other side, there are several uncles playing chess, two people fighting, five or six people watching the game, some of them are still wearing white vests, and some are already shirtless while smoking pipes while pointing at the chess game.
The appearance of Jian Tianyuan and Shi Special was particularly abrupt.
The neighbors here all know each other, and the sudden appearance of two handsome guys is inevitably speculated.
"Are those two lads tenants?"
"I haven't heard of anyone's house for rent, could it be a thief?"
"No, he looks quite energetic, and he doesn't look like he is cheating......"
"Who knows people and faces but doesn't know their hearts, and looks like people, who knows if they are good or bad?"
"That's right, let's just say that the youngest son of the Zhang family, how handsome he is, isn't he a smoker, a big man, or a smoker?"
"Which Zhang family?"
"It's the Zhang family in Building 4, who used to drive in the factory, and his eldest son had bad legs with polio. β
"Really? Don't you talk nonsense?"
"Where did I talk nonsense, a few days ago I saw his youngest son and a few gangsters coming out of the original warehouse of our factory, wasn't the warehouse abandoned for several years? When they left, I secretly went to see it, and there were still needles and tubes on the ground. β
"Oh, this is amazing, you are so bold, the old Zhang family is really miserable, by the way, I heard that the new daughter-in-law of the Li family in Building 6 died?"
"Don't mention it, bad luck. β
"Don't guess, this is a Taoist priest invited by the Li family. β
"Why did he invite a Taoist priest?"
"Is it true that the kid hit the evil spirit?"
"That's not, don't tell others, that kid of the Li family walks around the balcony every night, babbling and not knowing what to say, what else can it be if it's not an evil one?"
"How do you know? β
"His sister-in-law on the other side of the door, I used to work in the factory, we have a production line, listen to her, one night, the wind was blowing outside, she got up and closed the window, and saw the child wandering around the balcony alone, there was green light in his eyes, the sister-in-law was so frightened that her legs were weak, she twisted her foot when she ran, and she didn't want to live at home, and was picked up by her daughter, and now she is raising it at her daughter's house. β
"Don't talk about it, it's getting dark. β
"It's just, you don't let people sleep at night?"
"These two Taoist priests are so young, okay?"
"Then who knows, there are so many things going on in the Li family, I heard that the community director introduced him to one a few days ago, and he asked for too much money, so I don't know where to find this. β
β¦β¦
Just when the aunts were gossiping, Taoist priests Jian Tianyuan and Shi Te had already come to Building 6, which was a seven-story old-fashioned house with no elevator, and the two climbed the stairs to the sixth floor, and the door to the east was ajar, and there was a faint evil spirit coming out of it.
The security door of this house is the oldest roller shutter, and there is an earthy yellow wooden door in the diamond-shaped gap. The wooden door had obviously been used for a long time, and a few pieces had been dropped, revealing the gray-brown wood inside.
Jian Tianyuan looked at it, took a step back, Shi Te stepped forward and knocked on the wooden door and asked, "Is anyone at home?"
A rough male voice came from the room, "Who?"
"You made an appointment for service on Taobao, and we are a male god cleaning shop. β
After Shi Te finished speaking, the people in the room did not speak again, followed by a rush of footsteps, and not long after, a man in his thirties came to open the door.
"Hello, I made an appointment to come in and talk. The man glanced at Shi Te and Jian Tianyuan, opened the wooden door, and let the two into the house, and then looked out of the door for a while before closing the door.
The house is very small, the floor is flat concrete, there is only an old brown sofa with three seats, the leather fabric is full of signs of wear, it looks greasy, there is a low table against the wall opposite the sofa, on the table is an old TV, there is a dining table under the window on the north side, the table is covered with a layer of green pattern tablecloth, there is an empty fish tank on the dining table, there are two chairs on both sides, the paint on the chairs has fallen off a few pieces, it is very old, the east side is like a kitchen, and to the south is two door-to-door rooms, one of which has a closed door, and the wind chimes hanging on the door frame jingle from time to timeγ
The two entered the room, and stood still and did not sit down, but looked at each other, one looking thoughtfully at the closed door, and the other talking to the man.
The man's name is Li Jie, thirty-seven or eight years old, not tall, chubby, with acne pits left by his youth on his face, and a mouthful of yellow teeth when he laughs.
This time it was because his twelve-year-old son had hit an evil spirit. Li Jie said that after his wife's death, his son began to be wrong, and he often became in a trance, and the originally sunny child became unpredictable, and sometimes stared at people as if they were going to eat each other, which made people feel frightened. Strange things also happened one after another, first the pet rabbit at home died, and there were fewer and fewer ornamental fish in the fish tank, one night, Li Jie got up to urinate at night, and saw his son lying next to the fish tank, a puddle of water on the ground, turned on the light and looked, he was scared half to death, his son had a live fish in his mouth, and he was eating one bite at a time, and he called for a long time without responding. It wasn't until he finished eating that his son turned around to look at him, that look he couldn't forget in his life, it was a look that wanted to devour him alive, and Li Jie couldn't help but shudder when he recalled it.
Li Jie told Shi Te about the situation while reminiscing, there are too many things in the family in the past two years, and there are too many places to use money, and now he can't afford to invite someone introduced by the director, but the child can't ignore it, and finally found such a person on the Internet with the mentality of trying, and he didn't know if it would work, he thought about it and said: "Master, you want to save my son, I am Haohao such a son." β
Jian Tianyuan listened to the matter, waved his hand to signal him not to worry, and then took out a cinnabar talisman in his bag, clamped it between his two fingers, and walked a few steps in front of the door with a chatter in his mouth.
Li Jie was blindfolded by his hand, and he was immediately convinced, and he was about to kneel down for help as soon as his knees were weak. Fortunately, Shi Te's eyes were quick, and he stopped him with both hands, and hurriedly said, "What is Mr. Li doing, get up and talk." β
Li Jie didn't kneel down in the end, and begged the two of them and said, "The master must save my son, Haohao is only thirteen years old." β
Shi Te helped him to the side, and said as he walked, "Mr. Li, don't worry, Master Jian will definitely save him." β
"Did someone in your family die not long ago?" Jian Tianyuan looked at the room and said.
When Li Jie heard this, he immediately nodded excitedly and said, "Yes, yes, the master is really a god, it is my wife, who passed away three months ago." β
Jian Tianyuan frowned when he heard this, and said, "Why don't you see the spirit position?"
Hearing this, Shi Te glanced at the room, but he really didn't see it, and the hand holding Li Jie was gently released.
Li Jie didn't expect the other party to ask this, and asked hesitantly: "Does this have anything to do with Hao Hao's matter?"
Actually, it doesn't matter, just downstairs the uncles and aunts were gossiping, he listened to it, and when he arrived at this house, he roughly guessed, but he didn't expect to guess it. But three months after his wife's death, there was no spiritual position at home, and it was the first time I saw it, so I asked out curiously. I guess it's because the family isn't very harmonious.
Jian Tianyuan shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter much, take down this wind chime and burn it." He pointed to the wind chimes on the door frame and said, "This thing is unlucky, especially when it is hung at the door of the child's room, the child has weak yang qi and is easy to be caught by nightmares." β
Li Jie walked over quickly, taking the wind chimes with his feet, but he was too short, and he could only touch the edge of the door frame on tiptoe, and he couldn't reach it. Jian Tianyuan sighed, raised his chin at Shi Te, took a step back, and gave up the place. Shi Te received the order, walked behind Li Jie and said, "I'll come, Mr. Li will let me go." β
Just a moment ago, Li Jie was already sweating. Hearing that Shi Te wanted to help, he smiled embarrassedly and said, "Then thank you, it's so hot, I'll turn on the fan." So saying, he went to the bedroom with the door open, and after a while, he came out with an old-fashioned moving head fan, put it on the ground, plugged it in, and blew it in this direction. There was wind in the house, and the wind chimes rang more cheerfully.
The wire of the wind chime is wrapped around the nail, which is not difficult to take, but it is a bit troublesome. Apparently it had been hanging for a long time, and the red rope had become a dark red, and it took several laps to untie it from the nail. Shi Te took the wind chime, handed it to Li Jie, asked him to take a copper basin, put the wind chime in it, Jian Tianyuan threw a handful of talismans, put two fingers up in front of his chin, closed his eyes and recited a spell in his mouth, he couldn't hear what it was vaguely, after reading for a while, his eyes suddenly opened, two fingers pointed to the copper basin, and his mouth shouted: "Go." The wind chimes were made of glass, and they were not easy to burn, but at this time they crackled and burst open, and the fire in the basin suddenly rose half a foot high, and the cyan flames gradually became shorter, until the wind chimes all burst into glass slag, and the flames quietly extinguished themselves.
Li Jie was suddenly full of confidence in Jian Tianyuan, and felt that he was not looking for a high price, but found such a good one on Taobao.
