Chapter 70: The figure flashed
When I got back to the dormitory, it was late and the pumpkin was playing a game. He asked me to play, and I wanted to relax and relax, so I played with him twice. However, it may be that I have been with my master Ma Hongji for more than a month, and I have been affected by his habits, and after playing games for a while, I feel very bored.
The game only relaxes and doesn't bring me what I want right now.
So, after playing two games, I decided not to play.
The pumpkin is still giggling, and it seems to be back to the way it used to be.
But I know that he has a knot in his heart, and only I can help him with this knot. After thinking about it, it is the right thing to learn the Tao and the means to exorcise ghosts. So I first drew talismans, and then practiced Gangbu, but I was also refreshed and at ease.
At ten o'clock in the evening, the lights in the dormitory were turned off. When the time comes, the main gate of the entire floor will be closed by the dormitory management. But I still sat there with my knees crossed, meditating, trying my best to sense the "heavenly qi" in the air, but where it was so easy.
It didn't take long for my eyelids to start fighting, and before I knew it, I was falling asleep on the bed.
The next day.
I had breakfast with Pumpkin and went to class. I hadn't seen me for more than a month, and my classmates in the classroom were surprised when they saw me. Maybe in their imagination, I shot that Su Yuanhang and should have been expelled from the school, but no.
A few of my male classmates, who had a fairly good relationship with me, joked with me and asked me what I was doing these days. I said that I hit someone and was in a bad mood to go out for a trip.
They listened to me and were shocked.
You must know that the person I beat is Su Yuanhang, and the Su family is very powerful in Lujiang City.
But I was fine. They couldn't help but give me a look of surprise.
But my name as the "cuckold king" still hasn't gotten rid of it. After a while, some classmates secretly muttered and called me the cuckold king.
Alas, sometimes that's how it is, a nickname, once it's written down, is hard to erase.
After a few days, I spent the evenings studying the methods of exorcism in the yellow booklet, as well as practicing drawing talismans, steps, and constantly trying to absorb the "Tiangang Qi" from the air.
It's a peaceful life, and it makes me feel pretty good.
At the very least, for myself, I have one more skill. Of course, I'm talking about the skills of Taoist priests.
At the end of the week, I prepared a little and got ready to head out with my backpack.
Pumpkin asked me what I was doing, and I didn't hide it, saying that I wanted to help Zhu Zishi's ghost get rid of the resentment in my heart, that is, to clean up the "samurai ghost".
Pumpkin's little eyes rolled when she heard me say that. He approached me and said with a smile: "Brother Qin, you also let me follow, when the time comes, I can also learn some of your methods of dealing with ghosts, you promised me before, you will teach me." ”
The pumpkin will pick the time, but it is not impossible to bring him with him.
"Yes! ...... But you kid have to be honest with me, don't mess around. ”
As I spoke, I took out one of the amulets left for me by my master, Ma Hongji, and handed it to the pumpkin.
"This is an amulet, you've seen it before, you brought it with you first... This way, the average imp won't trouble you. ”
Rejoicingly, Pumpkin took the amulet from my hand.
He carefully tucked the amulet in his pocket for fear of breaking it. The runes on this amulet are very complicated, and I can't draw them now, and even if I draw them, I still need to use mana to "open the light".
The so-called "enlightenment" is also a kind of saying, which is to inject the yellow charm into mana in advance to promote it. But it's not the same as consecrating something or a certain ritual in the temple.
These talismans have been "consecrated" by my master Ma Hongji, and they contain Taoist mana, so it is not a problem to carry them on their bodies to defend against ghost attacks.
And having Pumpkin go with me is a companion, and maybe he can help me.
Besides, I have been following my master Ma Hongji for more than a month, and I have been studying and practicing hard for the past two days. Although I don't say that the means are very powerful, I am very confident and feel that it will not be a problem to deal with one or two imps.
And I also have the Yuanyang Hand and the magic weapon Torture Ghost Staff.
I also have a certain understanding of the many uses of the Ghost Torture Staff. I'm sure that if I encounter a ghost, I won't be as embarrassed as I was before.
There is a skilled process, and after this process, many problems can be easily addressed.
Zhu Zishi's ghost was in the yellow talisman lantern, and he was quite excited when he heard that I was going to help him clean up the "samurai ghost". What else to say, let me let him out.
But I didn't do that just to be on the safe side.
The villa where Zhu Zishi used to live was on Phoenix Street in Dongcheng District. I haven't been there with Pumpkin, but I know it's a rich people's ghetto, and a lot of rich people are buying properties there.
It was already past eleven o'clock in the afternoon when I got there.
Fortunately, there are a lot of clouds in the sky, and the sun is sometimes blocked, so the temperature is not too high.
After getting out of the car, according to Zhu Zishi's guidance, Pumpkin and I found Phoenix Street, the villa that Zhu Zishi had purchased before. When I stood at the door of the villa, Pumpkin and I were quite envious.
The villa is surrounded by high walls and is surrounded by a variety of trees with either wide or narrow leaves, lush green.
There is also the fragrance of flowers wafting out from the courtyard of the villa, which smells very good. It seems that the sound of running water can still be heard.
"Zhu Zishi, it seems that your previous life was still very rich." I said it casually.
Zhu Zishi in the yellow talisman lantern replied: "Xiaodao Chief, you are smiling. It wasn't because I was lucky enough to inherit a little bit of my father's inheritance, so I slowly started it myself. Otherwise, without the principal, many things will not be easy to do. ”
This is true. But Zhu Zishi is quite modest.
The villa has two floors and can be seen from afar. The design is a bit Gothic and exquisite. But it seems that there has been no owner for a long time, and the flowers on the windowsill have all wilted, and the leaves are swaying with the wind scattered.
The large iron gate of the villa was also tightly closed, and it was covered with traces of rainwater, which should have been left unattended for a long time.
"Brother Qin, this door is closed, how can we get in?"
The pumpkin sprinkled around and whispered to me.
I walked over and stood in front of the large iron gate, which had a square combination lock on it. The combination lock is covered with a transparent bag film. The film was covered with gray dust and dirty.
It means that there are not many people coming here, or simply that there is no one living here.
"How do you get in? ...... I think Zhu Zishi knows the password of the combination lock. I replied to the pumpkin.
Sure enough, Zhu Zishi in the yellow talisman lantern immediately spoke: "I know the password, I know." There are nine figures in total. Trail Leader, you can now follow the code I told you and unlock the combination lock. ”
Zhu Zishi told me the password, and I pressed the number button on it according to his instructions.
"Click!" With a bang, the door opened.
"It's so easy, I thought it would be a lot of work to get into the villa." Pumpkin muttered.
I turned to him and said, "Pumpkin, wait until you enter the villa, don't walk around." The two of us are going to be together. That samurai ghost, since he was able to kill Zhu Zishi easily, it showed that he was no longer a simple ghost. ”
"Okay, Brother Qin, don't worry, I will definitely take care of myself."
Pumpkin said with a straight face. But his half-hearted personality still didn't reassure me. But everyone else is coming, and I can't drive him back.
What I didn't know was that Pumpkin's personality began to change a lot since she came with me to hunt ghosts this time. In his bones, he became stronger.
Rather than saying that he is strong, it is better to say that he works harder to understand the "obsession" in happiness.
When I went back to class a few days ago, I asked Pumpkin again what his "obsession" was. But this guy, just don't say it. What else to say, my master Ma Hongji is right, now is not the time.
He's really stubborn sometimes. However, it could also be that he is thinking about me.
The yard of the villa is very large, and there are many flowers and low trees. A little to the west, there is a small fountain. The fountain was pouring water into a small pool.
However, it may have been a long time since no one took care of it, and the dwarf grass on the edge of the pond has grown wildly.
There was also a lot of dust on the floor tiles in the distance, as well as broken branches of trees.
"It's been a long time since anyone lived here!" I said in a deep voice.
Zhu Zishi in the yellow talisman lantern was not released by me, so he naturally couldn't see the outside environment. But hearing me say this, Zhu Zishi became excited, and said uneasily: "Daoist Qin, hurry up and go to the villa to see if my wife is still there." She must have been killed by that 'samurai ghost' too!? ”
Through Zhu Zishi's voice, I can feel that he really cares about his wife.
Under careful questioning, Zhu Zishi said that although he and her wife are more than ten years apart, they have a very good relationship. Moreover, a few months before Zhu Zishi's accident, her wife Caijie told him that he was going to be a father.
It's just that I didn't expect that something like that would happen later, and he was killed by a "samurai ghost".
Under Zhu Zishi's urging, Pumpkin and I didn't stay too long in the courtyard of the villa, and walked directly towards the gate of the villa.
However, before I had walked a few steps, the pumpkin suddenly shouted to me, who was walking in front: "Brother Qin, it's not right!" Wait! ”
The pumpkin stood still.
I heard his voice, and I felt the horror and horror in his tone.
"What's wrong with you?" I frowned slightly and asked Pumpkin in a deep voice.
Pumpkin raised his hand slightly, pointed his finger at a window on the second floor of the villa and said, "Brother Qin, I seem to have seen a figure just now, flashing past the window!" ...... However, it disappeared again!! ”
The pumpkin's words made my heart tighten.
I hurriedly looked up, but there was nothing in front of the window that the pumpkin was pointing to.
The window glass was a little blurry, and it looked like it hadn't been wiped for a long time.
And when the sun shines on the glass, you can also see the roof of the house.
But I can't see any "human figures" at all.
"Pumpkin, you can't be mistaken, right??" I asked back.
But the pumpkin's face was already gray, and she seemed to be very scared.
"You can't be mistaken! ... Brother Qin, I was absolutely not mistaken, it was really a figure, just behind that window, flashing by! ”
The pumpkin's tone was firm.
This reminds me of that "samurai ghost".
But it stands to reason that it shouldn't be, it's daytime, and even if that "samurai ghost" is very powerful, it is impossible to choose to stand at the window and be exposed to the sun. Because the sunlight itself will cause a lot of damage to the ghosts of ghosts.
This is also the reason why ghosts do not usually appear during the day.
With a frown, I reminded the pumpkin in a solemn voice, "Wait, we're in, be careful." I don't know what's going on inside, but it's better to be careful. Maybe it's really the 'samurai ghost', maybe he's already noticed we're coming. ”
