Lao Dao's room was not treated further after we left. Yesterday afternoon, Yang Ji arranged for technicians to install infrared probes in hidden places in various corners of the room. As soon as there are signs of movement of an object, it can wake up the computer screen monitored by the management office through the network, and nothing else has changed.

I suddenly remembered that there seemed to be a mat on the second floor that looked like some kind of formation, but I was busy searching for the old way yesterday, and no one remembered it. No one has mentioned it before, and I don't know if anyone in the management office will notice. Maybe that formation was the 'six-pointed star array' that Fang Yun said, but I had never heard of this kind of formation.

If the Ancestor comes back tomorrow, I will have to ask him first to see if he has heard of this formation.

Actually, I thought a lot of old ways to hide last night, and the most likely place is: under the alley in the village, because under the bricks, there is always the sound of running water. Since he is now in a half-human, half-ghost state, he can naturally curl up somewhere, and when the rumors have passed, he will find a place to live again.

However, Yao is not by his side today, and with the ability of me and Zhuang Yan, I can't find him. Besides, we are in the open and in the dark, and it is not a matter to always prevent him from making a surprise attack. Therefore, the first task of being a decoy today is to wander around, try to avoid narrow alleys, and let the people in charge of protection in the management office see us.

In order to let the Celestial Master, who was secretly protecting me, see me, Zhuang Yan and I began to study passers-by.

"This image, he always looks at us." Zhuang Yan said quietly.

Afraid I wouldn't see it, she pouted at an early stall across the street.

"No, it should be that he also wants to come over and eat rice noodles, and is hesitating...... The one over there, do you see that? Pick two baskets of fruit to sell early in the morning, don't you feel abrupt standing there? "I corrected Zhuang Yan's judgment with reason, now it's either a tricycle or a van, where is there anyone who carries the burden to go out to do business.

"You may not know how poor he is, but you may not know how poor he is, maybe...... He really couldn't afford three rounds. ”

For the understanding of poverty, I can only say hehe. When I was a child, I was able to eat pure rice, even if I had a tooth sacrifice, Zhuang Yan was a rich daughter, and said I don't know about poverty?

Thinking of this, I proposed, "Why not...... Let's make a bet? ”

"Don't bet, you are all mine, what do you bet with me?"

Zhuang Yan's words choked me back. Also, I'm all hers, but ...... She's mine, too.

Eat breakfast, we ate for an hour. The boss pretended to come to us twice and turned around, although he didn't say it with a smile on his face, but I knew what he meant. The shop is already small, and we occupy two seats, and two bowls of rice noodles can be eaten for an hour......

We went to the rental house where we were in charge of surveillance and looked up yesterday's logs. The whole night was calm and there was no sign of anyone going in.

Ghost Xiu didn't leave anything valuable, he knew that there was a lot of trouble, and it was impossible to come back in at least two or three months.

It didn't take long for the streets to start coming alive. I think my judgment is wrong, it seems that today is just in time for the market here, and some vendors on both sides of Tongming Lane are gradually gathered. Not to mention, there are really a lot of people who carry the burden.

Zhuang Yan and I first picked up the spacious and bright alleys in the village and walked around slowly. Finally, at the market, Zhuang Yan also bought a lot of bits and pieces.

This place is not big, just after lunch there is no freshness, after lunch we are sleepy, and it is not good to go back first. I had to fight my spirit and continue to walk in the opposite direction. Because of the hot weather, there were fewer people on the street, and the vendors also settled under the big umbrellas, some played with their mobile phones alone, and some asked a few people to play cards and chess. When business comes, they take care of each other and listen to the accents, most of whom are locals.

Zhuang Yan basically bought all the eye-catching things, and now, the two of us are still walking decently in the market. As he was walking, the phone rang.

It was Yang Ji's phone call, asking us if we wanted to act, and according to our routine, the vendors who set up the stalls thought that we were looking for someone here. Let's find a place to have a drink, a chat with someone or something. What's the point of just walking around the street?

I answered the phone while looking around, where is this thing hiding to peek at us?

"Don't look for it, can you be dedicated?"

Yang Ji's slightly angry voice came from the phone.

"Take people's money and eliminate disasters with people. Yeon, the owner who paid us thought we were unprofessional, so we had to sell some more strength. "I put away the phone and got ready to find a teahouse or something, something to drink.

"What, he's watching us?" Zhuang Yan approached me and asked in a low voice.

"Yes, find a place to drink and talk to someone about the house." I whispered in response and began to wander around the village purposefully.

A small drink shop, looking at the layout of the store, it is a little trendy, under the banner of Korean drinks. I think it is more in line with the consumption habits of young people, although I am not young, but it attracts Zhuang Yan.

When I entered the restaurant, I ordered two drinks at the bar that I couldn't remember, and I found a seat to sit down. The boss is a woman, and heavy makeup can't hide the traces of time. However, he has a cheerful personality and loves to laugh, driving the young girls in the store to keep smiling at all times. It gives me a very close sense of intimacy, and because of this feeling, I didn't consider the price when I ordered, and chose a name that sounded very high. There was a hint of pain in the flesh when paying, but it didn't show it on the face.

I don't think the boss is under forty years old, maybe it's because of the over-the-top foundation or something, I don't know much. I just think it makes her look more old-fashioned. If it weren't for her laughing personality and a good attitude, she would have looked older.

The young girl wore a brown apron and served us drinks.

I don't know why the tastes of young people nowadays are so unique. The cup of drink I ordered worth forty-five oceans felt that it was not as good as the Kang Shuai Fu green tea in Boss Ouyang's shop. Also, it feels a little alcoholic.

I held up my drink and asked, "Boss, is there any wine in this drink?" ”

"Good taste buds, young man, I only put two drops of brandy in it, and you can drink them all?" The boss came over with a smile and saw that my expression was serious, with an apologetic smile on his face, "I'm sorry, this was my mistake and I didn't ask you if you want to drink." I'll give you a glass of wine. ”

If I insist, I feel that it is my fault, and I am busy waving my hand to say forget it.

"Forget it, I didn't ask. I just wanted to make sure there was no alcohol in this drink. ”

"Actually, the cup you ordered is a well-known commitment drink. Usually in the afternoon, the young man orders it for the girl. Because it was noon, I changed the whisky to brandy. Rest assured, the alcohol content is very low, and it doesn't matter if you are young. Like me, I am addicted to alcohol and the amount of alcohol is poor, so I have two glasses of this drink, and I am at my mercy. Giggle......"

The boss really understands the whole thing, and apologized with a wicked smile, and made me embarrassed to ask for a replacement again.

However, I really didn't dare to drink it when she said this, and some of the wine didn't feel it, but I didn't know when I was drunk. I had something to do for a while, so I had to assume that I had accidentally dropped forty-five dollars.

It's all about trouble, and you have to get down to business.

"Boss, do you know the old man outside?" I pointed to the house around the corner outside the alley, which was the ghost cultivator's house.

"Not very familiar...... But I warn you, there's something evil about that house, so don't ask about it. The boss came up to us again and said in a low voice.

"Really? What kind of evil law? Why don't I invite you to a drink and tell us about it...... I took the menu on the table and handed it to her, meaning to let her choose the most expensive one herself.

The boss looked around, and there were only five or six customers in the store, and he didn't seem to be busy, so he asked the waiter to help him mix a cup of yuzu yogurt.

I'm starting to wonder if it's a mess of fools... Is the taste of the stick really so unique?

Fortunately, the boss is quite kind, and it is not expensive, twenty oceans.

"I tell you, don't go around talking about me!" Finally, the boss sat down and began to create mystery.

We can only make a serious appearance and listen carefully.

The boss's name is Li Chunli, and it hasn't been a long time since she came here to open a store, less than six years. When I first came, I could sometimes see the old man coming out for a walk alone, nodding and smiling when he saw people. It's just that relatives and friends have never come. At that time, she was also a good thing, and asked the villagers to inquire about the details of the old man.

The old man's surname is Zhang, I don't know what the specific name is, everyone calls him Lao Zhangtou. He didn't say anything, and everyone didn't care.

The villagers said that the original family had signed a contract with the old man at the village chief a few years ago, and the entire house had been transferred to the old man, and the family had moved to other places. So, Lao Zhangtou lived alone. Li Chunli has always felt that the old man is weird, but she can't say what the problem is.

As for the evil spirit mentioned by the boss, it was half a year ago, and her husband came to pick her up when she closed late. As I passed by, I heard a very strange sound coming from inside. It's like people's wails and begging for mercy, and it's like the noise of torture in TV dramas. At that time, she also liked to inquire about these gossip news, so she asked her husband to go first and quietly posted it to the door to listen.

The room was pitch black, and not a single light was on. The street lights on the road were also turned off a few times, and the alley was a little dark at that time.

When the boss approached the door, the sound she heard changed to something like singing, which she thought was a voice from the TV. I didn't think much about it, turned around and prepared to leave. But as soon as she took a few steps, the sound of the person being beaten and screaming came again, and she couldn't help but put her ear back to the door.

At this moment, there was a 'squeak', and the old man opened the door from the inside.

"At that time, you didn't know that my seven souls were missing six souls, and I was almost scared to death by him." Li Chunli said this with emotion, as if she had just been frightened, and took a sip of her drink.

"What did he say?" I was taken in by her.

"If you want to say anything, I can still handle it, without saying a word, my eyes looked at me in a daze, I almost fainted at the door of his house."

"And how do you resolve the embarrassment?" Zhuang Yan asked.

"Embarrassing what? At that time, I was so confused that I didn't know anything. It wasn't until my husband came back to me and took me home that I was relieved. ”

"What do you mean? The soul was taken away? ”

"Yes, yes, that's it. Young man, I think you are like a cultural person, and you are so reasonable when you speak. Li Chunli made a gesture of approval and praised me as a cultural person. Then he said: "I can kind of react now, when my soul seemed to be gone, and suddenly I was confused. Every day when I went to the store and passed by there, I would go around the street before I dared to come. Therefore, that house is very evil, and I advise you to go less if you have nothing to do. ”

"What did you see at the time?" Zhuang Yan asked.
