Chapter 29: Eve

It is worthy of being one of the three major restaurants in Chang'an Mansion (Zhou Tai claims to be) of the shopkeeper, the work efficiency is extremely high, Wanning and Zhou Tai chatted a few words, the shopkeeper went upstairs again, indicating that the travel tools were ready, so with the support of the two, Zhou Tai swayed down the stairs, in order to avoid people's sight, several people deliberately walked out of the back door of the small courtyard.

"I... I said, Wan Daoyou... There's something... I... I'll have to tell you first..."

Zhou Tai held on to the carriage, panting hard, and said to Wan Ning intermittently.

"Boss Zhou, why don't you take a rest first, and we'll discuss things later. ”

Seeing Zhou Tai's struggling appearance, Wan Ning replied with a little crying and laughing, and began to seriously think about what Xiao Meihua said before.

"Don't, don't, let's talk about it here, after I enter the mansion with you, you will say that I am your guest, please don't reveal the slightest news to anyone about the exorcism. After taking the blades handed over by the shopkeeper, Zhou Tai's appearance looked much better, he wiped the corners of his mouth and said to Wan Ning.

"But isn't this a matter known to the whole house? Wan Ning asked with some confusion.

"The head of the house claimed to be sleepwalking and hysteria, and everyone in the house, including other guests, did not know that the house was haunted. ”

The shopkeeper helped Wan Ning drive the carriage and said to him.

"Okay, I understand. Wan Ning nodded slightly, but in his heart he felt that this matter was becoming more and more strange. If he is afraid of face and does not want outsiders to know about this, Wan Ning can understand, but listening to what the two of them said, it seems that the whole Zhou Mansion does not know about these things, and even the disciples under his command are kept in the dark.

The nobles of Zhao have a habit, these nobles who can't cultivate spiritual power like to worship a few spiritual cultivators as doormen, and every time they go out, they must follow the head of the family to travel, and then several nobles compare with each other, and the doormen and guests work with each other. This kind of so-called disciple is rarely seen by spiritual cultivation, but some guys with low cultivation and can't endure hardships are naturally willing to be canaries.

This made Wan Ning a little suspicious, when this kind of thing happened, it was not to find his trust, and it was also the most convenient door to investigate the situation, but to entrust Zhao Wen, and then Zhao Wen would pass the task to himself. Empathy, if you are an ordinary person, you are harassed by female ghosts in the middle of the night every day (pay attention to no sex), you will be frightened on the spot, your scalp will be numb, your limbs will be weak, and you can't wait to ask a bunch of doormen to guard outside your big bed.

However, Wan Ning observed Zhou Tai's face, obviously on the verge of collapse, even so, only the shopkeeper knew about it, that is to say, he, a timid fat middle-aged man, fought alone with the female ghost every night, and this horror lasted for a whole month, God knows what kind of pressure Zhou Tai was under. And according to him, this female ghost will appear every night for a month, and she will be exactly the same, and she is more punctual than the best employees of some units now.

Of course, Wan Ning is also an understanding person, since the client is unwilling to talk more, he will not talk more, after all, Wan Ning is still counting on this cash cow to make a fortune, if the matter will not affect himself, it doesn't matter what the reason is.

Blowing the night breeze, sitting in a small sedan chair, and most importantly, accompanied by a person who seems to know how to catch ghosts, Zhou Tai's mood is much better, and he also went to the snack bar at the intersection to play a large bowl of rice noodles across the bridge, and snorted into his mouth, Zhou Tai sighed while patting his belly, I haven't eaten so happily for a long time.

Accompanied Zhou Tai to toss for a while, half an hour later, the two sedan chairs slowly shook home, Zhou Tai slowly walked out of the curtain, he looked up at the familiar plaque, the warm red lantern in the past now looks extremely infiltrating, so the fat middle-aged man's whole face collapsed again.

"Let's go, Boss Zhou, with me, what are you afraid of, not to mention that this is your territory, no matter how horizontal the female ghost is, it is also an away battle." At this time, Wan Ning gently patted his shoulder from behind and said with a smile. Hearing the young man's words, this made Zhou Tai's mind stabilize a lot, so he nodded seriously and strode into the Zhou Mansion.

Wan Ning followed Zhou Tai's footsteps and walked forward, but found that although the entire Zhou Mansion was lit up and there were many figures shuttling, none of them came out to greet the head of the family.

"Because I declared to them that it was sleepwalking and hysteria, I told them to go back to their rooms at night to avoid it, which was good for them and good for me, although the two female ghosts only chased me, but I was afraid that one day they would suddenly switch objects and accidentally hurt other people. ”

As if he had seen through Wanning's thoughts, Zhou Tai said with a wry smile.

"That's good, Boss Zhou, don't talk much, let's go into your bedroom first." ”

I thought that most of the businessmen were cold-blooded and ruthless, but at least Zhou Tai showed benevolence and righteousness this time. Wan Ning looked at the surrounding courtyard environment, but it was quiet and elegant, not like Zhou Tai's image of a nouveau riche landlord, and there was no gloomy sense in this Zhou Mansion, and there was no sign of evil spirits and ghosts.

You know, just as humans will leave footprints when they step on the ground, ghosts will also leave traces when they haunt the world, mainly on large clocks, mirrors, women's dressers, or often referred to as the five yin trees (mulberry, willow, elm, pear, acacia) and other objects that are yin or yang. Taoist priests can use ox tears or willow leaf water to wipe their eyes to channel spirits, while spiritual practitioners can detect it by opening their divine thoughts.

It stands to reason that the general unformed spirit evil cult will not erase the traces of appearance in such a meticulous manner, so only the powerful ghost cultivators of the level of the ghost king who have opened their spiritual wisdom will remain. However, if this is the case, why should these ghost cultivators who call for tens of millions of unjust souls to get along with mortals like Zhou Tai, and they didn't hurt his life, he didn't believe that this kind of terrifying existence could be boring enough to play with Zhou Tai.

Therefore, all kinds of circumstances made Wanning in a fog, so he decided to go directly to the scene of the crime, Zhou Tai's bedroom to find out.

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say, and it's troublesome for Wan Daoyou to hurry up and take a look, it's about to be time. ”

Zhou Tai touched his head a little nervously and said, seeing that the time was coming, he was even more anxious than Wan Ning.

"Wan Daoyou, please come with me. ”

The shopkeeper took a step forward and said to Wanning.

"Then it's troublesome Big Brother Kui. ”

In the previous chatter on the sedan chair, Wan Ning knew that the shopkeeper's surname was Kui, and he had followed Zhou Tai to work hard in Chang'an Mansion twenty years ago.

I have to say that Zhou Tai is indeed rich, and this courtyard is bigger than the military academy of Mujiang Mansion, not to mention the small Wanfu. Several people walked for a whole cup of tea, walked through seven or eight corridors, stepped through four or five water pavilions, and finally came to Zhou Tai's bedroom amid the chirping of insects and birds.

"Sitting in the northeast and facing southwest, the pattern of making money is suitable for business people like Boss Zhou, with sufficient lighting, quiet environment, and good feng shui, which does not have the possibility of raising ghosts in evil holes. ”

Wan Ning had made up for feng shui on the way before he came, but he still learned some things, and he glanced at Zhou Tai's bedroom, and there was nothing wrong with feng shui.

"Daoist friends clearly see that I did ask a master for guidance when building this house. ”

Now Zhou Tai already thinks that Wanning is a master who does not leak landscapes, and his attitude towards him is becoming more and more respectful.

"Since there's no problem outside, let's go inside. ”

Wan Ning pushed open the bedroom door and walked in. Things in the bedroom are scattered around, a little scattered, but there is no garbage accumulation, barely able to live in.

"Because of the rampant ghosts, the bedroom hasn't been properly tidied up for some days, so don't laugh. ”

Zhou Tai stood beside Wan Ning, smiled at him a little embarrassedly, and then quietly moved the Spring Palace Diagram on the ground behind him with his feet.

"Understandable. Boss Zhou, I'm going to do it later, don't mind me, let's pack these things in the corner for the time being. ”

Wan Ning pretended not to see the small movements of the chubby middle-aged man and said to him.

"Of course there is no problem, you can do anything. Seeing that Wan Ning seemed to be about to make a move, Zhou Tai hurriedly agreed.

"That's rude. Wan Ning had to get Zhou Tai's permission to use his spiritual power, and with a wave of his robe, he dragged the debris all over the ground and put it behind him. Then with a swing of his right hand, he lifted Zhou Tai's huge soft bed in the air and threw it out of the bedroom.

"Dao friendly spiritual arts, but you are..."Zhou Tai praised when he saw Wan Ning's proficient use of spiritual power. But when he saw the boy move his bed out, he was a little puzzled.

"I'm going to draw a few formations later, your big bed is too occupied. ”

Wan Ning began to work seriously at this time, and the ion time was getting closer and closer, and the two female ghosts were about to appear, so the honorifics were also omitted.

"Well said, well said. ”

Zhou Tai stood in place a little helplessly, and could only nod in agreement.

"Little Plum Blossom, come out and help me carve the formation. ”

Wan Ning squatted on the ground, took out a pen and a jar of pre-ground ink, and muttered to himself.

"What is the little plum blossom... Ahh!!h !!!!!”

Zhou Tai was approaching Wan Ning and asked with some curiosity, but suddenly there was a flash of pink light, and a ghostly girl appeared in mid-air out of thin air. This sudden situation made Zhou Tai, who was already having a stress reaction, sit on the ground and burst into tears of fright.

"Who are you talking about, open your dog eyes and take a good look at Ben Xiaomei. ”

Seemingly disgusted by Zhou Tai's screams, Xiao Meihua sat in mid-air, gouged out her ears, and said impatiently.

"Uh...?Female ghosts can actually talk?"

Zhou Tai opened his blindfolded fat hand and said with some surprise.

"I'm not a female ghost!

The annoyed little plum blossom floated in front of Zhou Tai, arched her index finger, and struck Zhou Tai's head with a violent blow.

"It hurts... You are not a soul body, you can touch me, you are really not a female ghost. ”

Zhou Tai hugged his brain and shouted in pain, and then suddenly reacted.

"This is Xiao Meihua, my helper on this trip, and also mine... Well, friend. ”

Seeing this, Wan Ning pulled the little plum blossom and said to Zhou Tai apologetically.

"It turned out to be Wan Daoyou's friend, but I lost my temper, and I thought the two female ghosts went to work early today. Hearing Wanning's words, Zhou Tai stood up and said with a smile.

"Come over quickly, it's not fun for me to ask you to come out, otherwise I'll ask you to fight with them when the children and ghosts come out. ”

After explaining the reason to Zhou Tai, Wan Ning turned his head and glared at Xiao Meihua, and threw the brush in his hand to her.

"Alright, alright... It's really inhumane to finally let me out and ask me to do something. ”

Xiao Meihua picked up the brush and muttered reluctantly, in order to hurry up the schedule, Wan Ning on the side could only pretend not to hear.

The two worked together, and soon filled the floor of Zhou Tai's bedroom with crooked and strange words, which surprised Zhou Tai, who was unknown on the side.

"Okay, there are two formations here, one is the Clear Heart Array to stabilize the mind, and the other is the Demon Suppression Array to capture ordinary ghosts and monsters, you can hide behind us later, don't make a sound. ”

Wan Ning wiped his sweat and said to Zhou Tai.

"Thank you, Wan Daoyou, my week..."

"It's time to get dry, be careful of the candle!"

Just when Zhou Tai thanked Wan Ning, suddenly the sound of beating people outside the house like a broken gong reached everyone's ears, Zhou Tai's face changed greatly, and then a strange wind suddenly blew outside the bedroom, rolling up a fallen leaf, and then from the outside came the "click" sound of joint friction, which was extremely infiltrating.

"She... They're coming..."

Zhou Tai staggered to the back of the pile of debris and said tremblingly.
