Volume 1: I Am the Celestial Master Chapter 20 Little Liar
Lao Li and the others began to get busy, and I shook my head calmly, making a look like I couldn't do anything about them.
In fact, the real reason why I shook my head was because Lao Li wanted to eat here.
Fortunately, it was just a matter of adding a pair of chopsticks, and I didn't care about how they operated it, and only added an extra pickle called Lao Gan Ma to the one dish and soup I had planned.
After cooking and calling them to stop and rest, Lao Li held Yao's little hand and refused to let go.
"This bad old man, I haven't even pulled Yao's hand much, so I let you have so much fun." ’
"Lao Li, in the face of reality, you can't only cherish your daughter! What about the wives of the family? "After that, I wondered if Yao would eat something with us, but if she also said 'yes', the rice would definitely not be enough.
"Yao, hurry up and let Miss Li come out, and you can also take a rest."
"Childe, I'm not tired." Li Qirong went out of her body, and she was still there stupidly polite.
Lao Li heard that it was not his daughter's tone and wiped his tears.
"Don't cry, uncle...... It's already happening, and it's too late. I comforted her daughter from saying that I had no heart or lungs. At this time, I saw that Yao was holding a new small glass bottle in his hand, which already contained a third of the liquid. I looked at her face again, and the two tear stains were clearly not wiped away.
'Even if you have a little conscience, you know how to use sensationalism to collect tears, and prepare me to make money in the future. ’
This should be the tears left by Li Qirong when they chatted just now. However, it is not known if the tears that flow from the eyes of the transfiguration entity have that effect. I held out my hand to Yao, ready to take the bottle and look at it.
Yao retracted her hand vigilantly, "What are you doing?" ”
"I'll see if it's useful, what kind of attitude do you have? Didn't you collect it for me? ”
Yao reluctantly handed over the bottle, "I want to keep it for myself." ”
This bottle was found by Yao herself, and she hadn't boiled it in mulberry leaf water, so she couldn't pick it up in her spirit state. However, once you have conjured into an entity, you can pick it up.
"Lao Li, help me see what's in this bottle?" I asked, holding up the bottle.
Lao Li squinted his eyes and looked at it, "There is half a bottle of water, I talked to my daughter just now, and she has been using this bottle to catch tears." ”
"Can you see the tears inside?" I was disappointed.
"Yes! Small half bottle, what's so strange? ”
I waved his hand to let him continue eating, turned to Yao, who had returned to his original form, and said, "I guess it's useless, I'll find a chance to help you try it in the evening." ”
Yao also nodded regretfully.
Before the meal was finished, the phone rang. It's the one who pretends to be crazy and stupid, and treats me as Dr. Lu's client.
"Hello! I'm so sorry in the morning that my daughter came home suddenly...... You know, my daughter doesn't believe in Taoist priests or anything, so I'll have to wait until she's out before I call you. ”
"Oh!" So that's what happened, and in the morning I thought it was something.
"Excuse me, Master, can you come over now?"
Such a polite call, you can't go away. Originally, I wanted to go to Xie Tian in the afternoon to take a walk, and by the way, I saw if the old couple had bought a mobile phone. Since there is a request for me here, there is also a good reward.
"By the way, you're too far from the bus station, can you call someone to drive us up in a moment." I deliberately amplified my voice, hoping that after Lao Li heard it, he would take the initiative to take on his promise just now: to be my driver.
Sure enough, Lao Li put down his chopsticks and pointed his finger at himself, indicating that he could take me over.
"Or no, I'll be there in about twenty minutes." Without waiting for a reply, I told her I would be there in twenty minutes.
After hanging up the phone, I got up and said, "Let's go, Lao Li, be my driver for half a day." ”
Turning back to check the charm and the ash at the bottom of the pot, he picked up a mahogany sword and slipped it into the sleeve of his coat.
Lao Li looked excited, and said to the empty space of the room with his hands appropriately: "Daughter, I'll go out with the master for a while, and I'll be back in a while." ”
Sure enough, in less than 20 minutes, Lao Li's car was parked in the parking space of the client's villa.
The client was a woman in her forties, probably in excellent maintenance, and looked a little confused in her early thirties.
If she wasn't confused, she wouldn't have held Lao Li's hand and said, "Master, it's hard work." ”
Lao Li bent down and replied with a smile: "It's not hard!" ”
I was a little embarrassed and said to the lady, "Auntie, this is my assistant Lao Li." ”
An awkward meeting, I somewhat regretted that I was greedy for saving those two dollars of fare. Fortunately, after entering the villa, Lao Li was also very cooperative, and followed me and the client in a regular manner.
The client's name is Ji Fang, and he has a son and a daughter. The daughter works in Xinxing, while the son follows her husband to prepare for the hereditary family business. In the past half a month, there have often been some supernatural events in the villa in broad daylight. At first, she thought that the nanny Sister Zhang was in the mood and deliberately smashed the dishes upstairs. But for a few days, when she and Sister Zhang were chatting on the first floor, there was still the sound of dishes breaking upstairs. What's even stranger is that when I go upstairs to check, I break a plate or a bowl, but what I hear downstairs is a person angrily smashing the plate.
"What time does it start?"
"Half past two in the afternoon, five minutes before and after." Ms. Ji looked scared.
I looked at the time, and it was less than two o'clock, "Why do you want to come here on weekdays, not on weekends?" ”
"Everybody's there on the weekend, there's never been movement. Usually at night, when her daughter is at home, she is most against the gods and monsters, so she tries to avoid her. Can you handle it today? Sister Zhang has already mentioned resignation to me several times. ”
"Not sure, I'll do my best!"
I went to the second floor and walked around each room, but I didn't feel anything strange. There is nothing wrong with the layout of the house or the principle of the five elements. Although it is a European style, the furniture placement and entrance setting are well integrated into the principles of metaphysical feng shui. This kind of layout, the soul should be afraid, and I can't help but put on the usual thinking posture again.
"You go to the first floor and wait, I'll wait upstairs for a while, and after half past two, or two minutes after the sound has been heard, you come up again."
I wanted to wait here for the supernatural event to happen in person, but I was in a hurry to go out today and forgot to bring Yao. In the current situation, you can only rely on yourself.
I asked, "Where do you usually find broken bowls?" ”
Sister Zhang led me to a small independent restaurant on the second floor, but she didn't dare to enter.
I motioned for them to go down and take a closer look at the restaurant.
It's really cooler inside than the rest of the world, but it's not because of the coldness of the soul, and there are storage cabinets on three sides that hold up the walls, and there is an empty section in the middle where you can place refreshments or prepared dishes. At the bottom of the cabinet above, there is a high-power light bulb that can emit heat, which should be used for heat preservation because the food is afraid of cooling too quickly. In the cabinet, there were cups and saucers of several specifications, which were cleaned up by Sister Zhang in an orderly manner.
After the three of them went down, I looked at the time, and it was 2:20 p.m. I took out my notebook, drew an invisibility talisman with a pen, tore it off, recited the mantra, and put it in my coat and bag.
This kind of charm can only be drawn for one's own use, and it is useless for others to take it, and it is put on one's chest by oneself, so that the soul can not see itself in a short time. When I draw at my best, I can hold on to 30 minutes, I use ordinary paper and ordinary pens, so I will discount a little, and I am optimistic that 15 minutes is still available.
Finding a comfortable chair, I sat down quietly, my eyes fixed on everything in the room.
The three of them turned on the TV downstairs to give themselves courage, Lao Li was as if he was fine, comforting the two of them that they were fine, he could see my ability with his own eyes, like a deceptive advertisement of a charlatan.
Time was ticking, but I didn't dare to sit there. It's not that I'm afraid of 'it', it's that the invisibility charm itself can't move.
This situation of being idle and unable to move can feel like time is moving slowly. I don't know how long it took, and sure enough, I saw a soul tiptoeing back and forth. I didn't even see where it came in, and there was no yin energy on it.
This is a kind of overly playful soul, which loves to joke in life, and is also a thief after death, and takes pleasure in making fun of people. Because it was too lively, the yin energy that the soul should have slowly decreased through frequent activities, but I don't know why it started tossing in Ms. Ji's house now.
Although it is harmless to humans and animals, it can only be considered unlucky to meet me today. This kind of soul is difficult to capture, and once it escapes, it is difficult to find it. I was quietly waiting for it to get closer, ready to use my True Qi to defeat the enemy with a single move of the peachwood sword, and let his soul fly away.
However, it backfired, and just as it transformed its hand into a physical object, and came to the staircase with a plate to look down, a voice came from the first floor that was both familiar and fearful.
"Mom! Whose car is it at the door? ”
Is she Ms. Ji's daughter? I felt my heart beat a little fast, but it was still two meters away from the soul holding the plate, and it couldn't kill it with one blow.
The soul seemed to be very frightened, and threw the plate directly to the ground, imitating the sound of porcelain falling on the ground and shattering, and slipped into the independent small dining room, squeezed into a cabinet and disappeared.
"Who's up there?" Zhuang Yan's majestic and irresistible voice came along with the footsteps going upstairs.
I looked at the plate on the floor in embarrassment and speechlessness, but fortunately, the plate fell on the carpet and did not break. The good news is that I'm also far from the plate.
Zhuang Yan's eyes were bigger than ever, and I didn't dare to look at them directly, so I could only judge from the image in the chrome trim strips of the furniture.
"It's you little liar again, you don't care about you when you deceive people in Xincun, and you actually come to my house...... Say, do you want me to call the police or do you want to do something? ”
"Yeon! This is my friend who invited me to play mahjong, what? You know! Ms. Ji followed closely behind Zhuang Yan.
"Playing mahjong? Then how did he sneak around and smash dishes on the second floor of our house? ”
Although Zhuang Yan heard the sound of many plates and bowls breaking downstairs, she didn't see a single piece of shard on the second floor, except for a plate lying quietly on the ground. She walked into the restaurant menacingly, turned on the lights to check, and everything was so orderly. Holding her body with both hands, she turned to look at me, and that look, I knew without asking, that she needed a reasonable explanation from me.
"I said I'd borrow a toilet, do you believe me?" I spread my hands helplessly.
