Volume 2: Entering the Ghost Feast Verse 119: Doubt
"With this experience, I think I should be able to succeed in dealing with the shining star imp that the Guan family wants to catch in the future," Seeing Pu Zitong bring back the escaped fritter imp, Zhang Su said with a smile.
"Isn't it just experience? From the point of view of means, this fritter imp is the same as the shining star imp, but the difference in soul power causes the effect of the two to be different after casting, and the 'finger mustard' thing you smeared on my whip is really effective, and it couldn't get rid of it when it dodged away, and finally exposed its whereabouts to us. Pu Zitong said excitedly.
"Finger mustard is my original tracking technique, it can be attached to the soul like a pollen seed and people can't be noticed, the fritter imp has been tricked when he stepped on your rattan whip, it has my yin finger mustard on its feet, you are holding the yang finger mustard I gave you in your hand, the two finger mustards are like magnets that attract each other, so you can accurately perceive its location, I am also the first time to officially use it, if it is feasible, it can be used on the Guan family's little ghost bounty in the future." Zhang Su explained.
In fact, Zhang Su's finger mustard method comes from the finger mustard seed in the stele soul extension technique, the finger mustard seed is a soul power seed similar to a dandelion seed, small as silk and not easy to be noticed, it can be attached to other souls as if it is nothing but difficult to peel off, the finger mustard seed and the caster can sense each other, even if the distance is farther, this kind of induction will not be easily cut off, to be precise, only after the maintenance soul power of the finger mustard seed is exhausted, the finger mustard seed will fail to fall off from the recruiter, Zhang Su attached the finger mustard seed to the rattan whip of Pu Zitong's play soul, and the moment the fritter imp stepped on the rattan whip, the finger mustard seed stuck to the body of the fritter imp, so after the fritter imp flashed away, Zhang Su had sensed the location of the fritter imp and transmitted the position to Pu Zitong.
"You always have some strange methods that I don't know, but it's okay, your methods do have some effect, and they must play a key role in the reward of the Guan family, by the way, you haven't praised me yet, is my cooperation seamless?" Pu Zitong asked Zhang Ji with a smile.
"It's seamless, but it's really a lot better than before, according to my plan, first use the soul of the play to seduce the fritter ghost, so that the fritter ghost can see the soul of the play that is about the same strength as his own is a paralyzing and careless mentality, and then I will attack it unprepared, defeat it, if there is any accident, you can participate in the battle at any time to support, in fact, it is to prevent it from using the unknown soul skill to escape, as I expected, it does have that powerful escape soul skill, you choose a good timing, It is commendable for finding and capturing it in time and not allowing it to abscond smoothly. Zhang Su replied, saying his soul as he walked towards the body that stayed outside the store.
"Are you really complimenting me? Why doesn't it sound like that? Pu Zitong walked out of the car 4S shop with Zhang Su and asked puzzledly.
"Of course I praised you, saying that you did a good job, but you still made a mistake and almost left a chance for the fritter imp in your hand, but this fritter imp is also arrogant enough, and he obviously found out
We didn't have to flee so easily to get it. Zhang Su explained.
"Wrong? What mistake did I make? Pu Zitong asked with a frown, and with a wave of his palm, he summoned the fritter imp into the dark stone cup.
"Did you think impulsively when you saw your drama soul being attacked before?" Zhang Su asked.
"Well, for a moment, what's wrong?" Pu Zitong asked.
"That's right, we originally hid our soul power on the roof, and the moment your impulsive soul power accelerated outward, it had already been discovered by this fritter imp, so when I made a move, he could immediately sense my soul power, judged where my position was, and wanted to rely on the accelerated soul skill on its feet to leave, but fortunately I used the white phosphorus arrow to seal it around it in time, so it forced it to use its last escape soul skill early, Otherwise, it was really possible for him to rely on that accelerated soul technique to create a gap to escape. Zhang said.
"So what, anyway, your tracking finger mustard is already attached to it, no matter how it escapes, its location will be exposed to our vision, and then it will be a few more ways to chase it." Pu Zitong said disdainfully.
"Change and change, I'm afraid that it will change again after it runs away, with the first two soul hunting encounters, any change must be strangled in the cradle, otherwise I don't know how I died in the end, but now that I've caught it, I won't say anything anymore." Zhang Su warned.
"You really won't say good things to girls, okay, I admit that what you said is right, I will pay attention to it in the future, today is still quite fruitful, and then we will go back to the company to hand over the reward? Or go to the hospital to visit Hu Xige? Presumably, Hu Xige should not have been discharged from the hospital yet. Pu Zitong said.
"Go visit Brother Hu Xi, I just have something to ask him, first find a place to buy a fruit basket of milk or something to send to him, it can be regarded as a necessary process, otherwise you Hu Xige will be sad if you go empty-handed." Zhang Su decided.
"Sad what?" Pu Zitong asked puzzled.
"Needless to say, if the patients around him have gifts to receive, but we don't bring anything when we go to see him, then how shabby he looks, it doesn't matter what he brings, the important thing is that the face may not be able to pass, you will know after a long time of contact with Hu Xi, Hu Xi doesn't care about anything else, what he cares about the most is his face, his favorite thing is to be in the limelight, and the least dislike is to lose face, so take care of his face, we have to prepare a gift for us, and it is better to be more public." Zhang said.
"A flamboyant gift? I have a note, do you think this is good......" Hearing Zhang Su say that he wanted to prepare a Zhang Yang gift, Pu Zitong instantly became interested, put his face to Zhang Su's ear and said secretly.
"That, it's not good for you to be like this, Zhang Yang is Zhang Yang, aren't you afraid that he will beat you?" Zhang Su asked with a wry smile on his face.
"Zhang Su, don't talk when the time comes, I'll say the blessing words, so I won't say anything." Pu Zitong smiled evilly.
"Well, you will die." Zhang Su shook his head and smiled helplessly.
Half an hour later, in the Qicheng Provincial Hospital, a man and a woman asked a young woman in a white nurse's uniform, "Doctor, how do I get to ward 137?" We are here to visit a patient who had surgery this morning. ”
"In the inpatient department on the third floor, take the elevator up to the third floor from here, go straight through the outpatient room of the general surgery department, turn left, and follow the house number after seeing the ward area." The female nurse replied.
"Thank you!" Zhang Su and Pu Zitong thanked the female nurse, and then got on the elevator according to the prompts.
"Are you sure it won't irritate him?" Zhang Su looked at the things Pu Zitong was holding in his hand and asked worriedly.
"Don't worry, it's just kidding." Pu Zitong replied with a wicked smile.
Zhang Su didn't say anything more, looked at the fruit basket milk in his hand, felt a little relieved, and strode behind Pu Zitong towards ward 137.
"Brother Hu Xi?" Pu Zitong saw the door number of No. 137 in the ward area, pushed the door directly and walked in, calling as he walked.
"Hey, Pu Zitong, why are you here? And Zhang Su, how do you know I'm here? Hearing the voice, Hu Xi, who was lying on the bed, turned his head towards the position at the door, saw Pu Zitong and Zhang Su coming in one after another, and greeted happily, without a little sickness.
"We knew about your operation in the morning, and we thought that we would come to see you after the soul hunt was over, but we didn't expect to waste some time now, we called Ding Linge and asked him about your hospital address, isn't this a hurry to come over and comfort your good brother." Pu Zitong explained.
Hu Xi heard that Pu Zitong came to see him, his face was filled with a happy expression, his eyes looked at the things that Pu Zitong and Zhang Su were carrying, and then glanced at the two patients of the same age on the hospital bed next door, and deliberately said loudly to Pu Zitong and Zhang Su: "Come here, why did you bring so many things, I am very embarrassed, Zitong, what is the string you are taking?" ”
Zhang Su was carrying a fruit basket and milk in his hand, which Hu Xi could understand at a glance, but Pu Zitong was carrying a string of traditional Chinese medicine bags in his hand, which made Hu Xi a little puzzled, and couldn't help asking.
"I heard that Hu Xige cut it off, so I brought Hu Xige some Chinese medicine to help Hu Xige replenish his body." Pu Zitong said with a wicked smile.
"Oops, it's just an appendix cut, and it's okay if you don't need to make it up." Hu Xi kept raising his voice while saying no.
"Brother Hu Xi, I don't know much about traditional Chinese medicine, I heard that these kinds can be a big supplement, so I will catch some of each for you, you see, there are cistanche, epimedium weed, deer antler, raspberry, dodder seed, wolfberry, ginseng, how about it? Is it enough to make up, it cost me a lot of money. Pu Zitong handed a bunch of Chinese herbal medicine bags to Hu Xi and asked with a smile.
"I've heard of ginseng, deer antler velvet, and wolfberry, but are the others also great tonics? How I haven't heard of it. Hu Xi was puzzled.
Just when Hu Xi was puzzled, a middle-aged female doctor rushed to the house to review the patient's condition
He shouted in the direction where Zhang Su was: "The patient's family over there, the patient can't take those aphrodisiac medicines just after the operation, and if you want to take them, you have to wait for the wound to heal, otherwise there will be excess blood and qi that will affect the recovery." ”
"Aphrodisiac?" When Hu Xi heard the doctor say that Pu Zitong brought him some aphrodisiac medicine, he couldn't help but blush, and said softly.
"Aphrodisiac? Haha, it's not good if you're young? The two young men lying on the bed next to Hu Xi laughed when they heard that Hu Xi had received an aphrodisiac.
"Don't laugh, you two just had surgery not long ago, be careful that the wound cracks open, and honestly go back to lie down." Hearing someone laughing, the middle-aged female doctor rebuked harshly.
"Pu Zitong, why do you buy me some aphrodisiacs?" Hu Xi embarrassedly beckoned Pu Zitong to his and asked softly.
"I don't understand, I just think that I will buy some tonic medicine for you to eat, so that your body can recover quickly, who knows that they are all aphrodisiac medicines, so let's do it, Brother Hu Xi, you can keep these medicines and use them after you get better, you can use them sooner or later." Pu Zitong's face was full of irrepressible evil smiles, and he said softly.
"Zitong, you ......, I understand, you did it on purpose, your smiling face is about to cramp, you little girl, I didn't forget to make fun of me when I came to the hospital to see me, I helped you so much before, hum." Seeing Pu Zitong holding back a wicked smile on his face, Hu Xi immediately understood Pu Zitong's intentions and snorted coldly.
"Haha, I'll just say that you have to show your stuff, you still don't believe it, you can't hide your bad thoughts when you do bad things, fortunately, Hu Xige is magnanimous and doesn't care about you, if you get it, I'll talk to Hu Xige about something serious." Pu Zitong and Hu Xi's whispers were heard clearly, and he interjected with a smile.
"Hmph, Zhang Su, I didn't say you, you don't care if your own girlfriend comes to tease me, you can take that bunch of aphrodisiacs and use them yourself later, I can't explain it if Lin Yan sees it here." Seeing that Zhang Su followed, Hu Xi complained.
"Okay, okay, we're also out of kindness, although it's not a major operation, but I'm relieved to see that you're okay, let's not talk about that thing, I have a few things I want to ask Brother Hu Xi, I don't know if Brother Hu Xi has the energy to listen now?" Zhang Su first smiled and interrupted, and then asked with a serious expression.
"What's wrong?" Hu Xi saw that Zhang Su suddenly became serious, and asked puzzledly, and his expression became serious.
"Okay, then I'll ask, Zitong will listen to it too, but don't spread the conversation between us, I think you can do this, right?" Zhang Su turned his face to Pu Zitong and asked.
"What's so serious, I'm a little confused, I promise, you can say it." Pu Zitong saw Zhang Su's sudden serious appearance, and showed a puzzled expression.
"First thing, Brother Hu Xi, you are Yan Hunshan's secretary to Yan Lao, right, then you should know something about Lei Lin's ghost banquet, can you tell me how much you know?" Seeing that Pu Zitong agreed, Zhang Su's face turned to Hu Xi again and asked.
"Do you know the Lei Lin Ghost Banquet?
Hu Xi looked at Zhang Su in surprise.
"Well, it's not just me, Pu Zitong also knows that the tone is coming out of the mouths of the two brothers of the Xing family, so I want to know the progress of this matter." Zhang Su explained.
"Zitong also knows, the two of the Xing family are really big tongues, okay, I'll pick what I can say and tell you some, originally this matter was the information that Lao Jin got when they hunted souls, and then reported it to our Qicheng branch, and our Qicheng side reported to the headquarters, and the headquarters asked to be ready for battle, and it is said that it is not only our Qicheng sub-district that has a ghost banquet, but also seventeen sub-districts of all sizes have news that the ghost banquet is about to be held, and some places have even reached the level of the ghost king banquet, The headquarters even got the news that a middle-level ghost king was holding a ghost banquet. Hu Xi explained.
"There are so many ghost feasts?" Zhang asked puzzled.
"Well, according to the survey, many ghost banquets will be held in the next three to four months, which means that the ghosts and ghosts in different places will hold various ghost banquets at the same time as if they have agreed, this phenomenon is very strange, obviously premeditated, so that the company has to pay attention to it." Hu Xi said thoughtfully.
"Premeditated? What exactly do these ghosts want to do? Zhang Su continued to ask.
"I don't know the specifics, the news is that a certain ghost king issued a summoning order, wanting to gather the power of the ghosts, according to speculation, it is likely to fight back against the soul master, and want to control the entire heaven and earth realm, these ghost banquets are the means for the ghost king to screen powerful souls." Hu Xi analyzed.
"Did you only find out about this recently?" Zhang Su asked.
"No, first of all, holding a ghost banquet in various places at the same time is not something that can be done in a while, it requires the revenant soul to travel to various places to organize and spread the message, and secondly, didn't you suffer from a constant ghast attack when you came to join our soul hunting company? The ghosts usually come out at night, and few of the ghosts in the daytime will run to the sun to attack people, so your encounter is very unusual, although we have not found any evidence, but now it seems that your attack is not accidental, that ghast should have been bewitched by some powerful force to dare to do such an act, after you, as far as I know, there have been several ghosts attacking people under the daylight, obviously the restlessness before the ghost feast. Hu Xi explained.
"You mean to say that ghosts frantically collect people's souls before the ghost feast?" Zhang said.
"That's right, there are a number of ghosts, and ghosts can't collect other ghosts, so you can only find ways to attack people's souls, this is a phenomenon that only occurs intensively before a large ghost feast, and you are the first victim of the ghost wreaking havoc before the ghost feast." Hu Xi looked at Zhang Su's face and said seriously.
"Wasn't it because of the disorder in my soul power that I was attacking?" Zhang Su remembered the explanation Hu Xi gave him before, and asked puzzledly.
"Yes, but not all, I deliberately let you have a soul disorder to make you attract ghosts, but the possibility of a real ghost attacking you is very small, so I dare to do that, so the soul disorder is not the decisive factor, so you understand."
Hu Xidao.
"Well, I see, then let me ask the second question, is there any ability to make the ghost possess a person undetected?" Zhang Su asked.
"Why are you asking this?" Hu Xi asked puzzled.
"I just want to know if there is, generally ghost upper body, human and ghost contract, ghost people can be seen with yin and yang eyes, otherwise it can be detected with soul power perception, but is there any way to let people and ghosts live together without being discovered? I'm curious about that. Zhang Su explained.
"You mean someone might be hiding ghosts?" Hu Xi asked.
"Hmm." Zhang Wei nodded vigorously.
"Yes, it is said that in the past, there was really a dead soul enveloping the soul master as an undercover agent of the human camp, using a technique called such a spirit, after the fusion of people and ghosts using such a spirit technique, it is called a spirit, and the person who turns into a spirit hides a ghost, but it is difficult to see a clue, that technique is said to have two volumes, one is a volume of people, and the other is a volume of ghosts, and the fusion of people and ghosts requires the volume of people to cultivate people, and the volume of ghosts and ghosts, and the two sides can only be fused after cultivation, and now the secret technique of spirit has long been lost, and it is unlikely that there will be a spirit of existence." Hu Xi pondered for a moment and explained.
"Just know that there is, okay, I don't have any other problems." Zhang Wei nodded with satisfaction.
"Who are you suspicious of?" Hu Xi asked solemnly.
"Suspicion can't be talked about, it's just speculation, it involves the reputation of others, don't dare to say anything, wait until I have some evidence, and then I'll tell Hu Xige about it." Zhang Su explained.
"Can't trust me?" Hu Xi asked.
"Believe it, it's a big deal, I'm still holding the fox fur now, and you won't believe me until I catch the fox tail and say it, of course, if I think too much, then I'll be happier." Zhang Su replied categorically.
"Is the person you suspect in the company?" Hu Xi thought for a moment and asked.
"In!" Zhang Su nodded.
