Chapter 4 Ritual of Summoning Ghosts

"Alas, the smaller the cowardice, the easier it is to die faster," Ding Xiaolan sighed

The corners of Lao Wu's mouth wiped a smile nonchalantly, and then began to refute: "I want to tell you solemnly: only stupid people who are reckless and don't think about the consequences are easy to die; It's hard for a smart person like me who is cautious and doesn't take the initiative to cause trouble if he doesn't live a long life."

"You" Ding Xiaolan wanted to say that he was thick-skinned like a city wall, but when the words came to his lips, he felt that it was too hurtful, so he stopped talking

"Okay, can you be less noisy," Qi Lu said slowly, "Do you have anything to say about female ghosts?"

Lao Wu said: "When you were chatting with Lin Bo, I had already checked the green skirt on the Internet with my mobile phone, and in the early 80s of the last century, no one wore it anymore because the style was outdated."

"You mean she died at the end of the 70s," Qi Lu's heart moved

"Of course," Lao Wu glanced at Ding Xiaolan in the front mirror, and then said: "Nowadays, girls are very fashionable, who would wear old-fashioned clothes before dying"

"That's really strange, why does a ghost who has been dead for decades only come out now" Qi Lu is right, the ordinary soul has long been reincarnated, if there is no special reason, it is difficult for the soul with strong resentment to wander in the world for decades without being annihilated

"That's not necessarily a lot of undead who have been wandering in ancient buildings for nearly a thousand years."

"That's because the deceased is nostalgic for his life before his death, so the soul is nostalgic and refuses to leave, the ancient house has become his body, once the building is demolished, the soul will naturally be destroyed," Qi Lu smiled indifferently, "But the female ghost we are looking for seems to be another situation, she can appear anywhere in the city at will"

Lao Wu's eyes were on the front, and he couldn't find a reasonable reason to refute Qi Lu's words, so he had to concentrate on driving

"There is a circumstance that can explain this phenomenon," Qi Lu, who came to his senses, frowned, and he lit a cigarette, "The ghost of the female ghost has been sealed somewhere, and it was only recently that she broke free from the shackles of the seal and returned to the world."

"The seal only released her now, I'm afraid that the people who cast the spell at the beginning are all old and dead, who would do such a loss-making deal," Lao Wu's eyes widened, and he felt that this was an unbelievable thing

"Hey, don't be so surprised, haven't we encountered many strange things before," Qi Lu said half-jokingly: "Since you have a clue, tomorrow you will go and find out the details of the female ghost in red."

"Then you go to find the whereabouts of Songwen Sword"

"Oh, that sword," Qi Lu seemed to remember this matter now, "Don't care about this broken antique, it's just an inconsequential matter"

"Lin Bo's face, can you not give it, do you want to offend Jiang Wenhao and Liu Chenfei, besides, before you left, you promised Lin Bo to check Song Wenjian tomorrow?"

Qi Lu extinguished his cigarette, propped his chin and didn't speak

Ding Xiaolan asked casually: "Isn't it because I want to be angry with Master Wutong to find the whereabouts of the female ghost in such a hurry?"

"Ha, I showed you through my thoughts," a light red color flashed on Qi Lu's cheeks

After thinking for a while, Qi Lu made up his mind, and he said to Lao Wu: "Let's go our separate ways, you find Song Wenjian, and I'll find out the female ghost."

"No problem," Lao Wu snickered all over his face, this was exactly the result he wanted, there was no danger in finding antiques, and it was much safer than dealing with the female ghost in red

The next day, after Ding Xiaolan came to the company, Qi Lu waited for her, and as soon as she entered the door, she hung a sign outside that she was closed for a day

Seeing Ding Xiaolan's puzzled gaze, Qi Lu whispered her into a small room on the left side of the office and closed the door

The black, rumbling curtains in the room were not only tightly drawn, but even the color was black, blocking all light from entering

Ding Xiaolan just wanted to stretch out her hand to turn on the light, but was stopped by Qi Lu

The dark hut, the closed door, the lonely man and widow Qi Lu want to do

Ding Xiaolan's heart suddenly rose to her throat, this guy wouldn't be thinking

I don't know what's going on, at this tense time, Ding Xiaolan remembered what the mirage Hu Lei said to her, if Qi Lu was really from the demon clan, I have been with him for a long time, will I start a ladyboy love with him

Just as Ding Xiaolan was thinking wildly, a firelight lit up in the room, and it was Qi Lu who lit the incense candle on the desk

"Come to me," Qi Lu beckoned her to sit next to him

Blamed Qi Lu again, Ding Xiaolan's face was crimson, and she smelled the faint smell of agarwood wafting in the air, which was the fragrance emanating from the candle flame

"The other rooms are full of spells, and evil things can't enter, so I can only do the conjuring ritual here," Qi Lu said in a soft tone

"Whose soul is the soul of the soul summoned, the resentful soul of the female ghost in red" Ding Xiaolan instantly felt that her goosebumps were about to rise

"It would have been nice if she had been hired, and it would have saved me a lot of work, but you know we don't have a way to get her accurately."

After what Ye Xuan knew, Ding Xiaolan knew that conjuring spirits was a very troublesome thing, and it was not as easy as the performances in movies and television, but since he couldn't attract the female ghost in red, who did Qi Lu want to find

Just when Ding Xiaolan was puzzled, Qi Lu had asked her with a smile: "I've watched a lot of police movies, the police want to understand the internal situation of the underworld, what methods do they usually use?"

"Arrange for an informant to go undercover"

"You're so smart, now I'm going to find a ghost informant to get the news of the female ghost in red from his mouth"

"What if you recruit a powerful ghost" Ding Xiaolan looked at Qi Lu with uneasy eyes

"If you take people's money, you have to eliminate disasters for others, how can I make money if I don't gamble?"

As long as it was about money, Qi Lu was a little excited, but he also listened to Ding Xiaolan's advice, and then made a handprint, and drew a circular talisman array at the feet of the two: "Take this as the boundary, draw the ground as a prison, as long as you don't step out, the ghost can't help us."

"Monkey King's golden hoop circle" Ding Xiaolan chuckled

"Almost," Qi Lu took out a few wooden cards from under the desk and put them on the table, and handed a small wooden stick to Ding Xiaolan and said, "This is a peach stick, wait a minute, if this ghost is disobedient, you will use this stick to beat him."

Ding Xiaolan saw that there were runes on both sides of the wooden plaques and asked him, "Is the spell written on this used to suppress ghosts?"

"It's not that people and ghosts are in different spaces, the spell is to connect each other's passages, the wooden plaque is cut into it with the roots of locust wood and willow wood, so that the soul can rely on it, so as not to lose its way, now everything is available, only the east wind is owed," Qi Lu stretched out his fingers and pinched into a spell, and recited the spell softly

A locust wood sign on the desk began to shake constantly, and the candle flame next to it also flickered, and the color of the flame showed a strange blue-purple color

When everything was calm again, there was a demon's head floating in the darkness, staring at Qi Lu

"Ahh

Qi Lu said to the ghost in surprise: "Are you still wearing a mask and scary when you come to me?"

"Listen to the teachings of the master" In the blink of an eye, the grimace turned into a man's face with a cloak of hair, and his lips were crimson, as if they were stained with blood

Qi Lu raised his chin and asked him with a smile: "My lips are as red as a monkey's buttocks, I don't know if my clothes are so red."

The mage said with a smile," the figure of the male ghost appeared, he knelt on the ground in white clothes, and looked at Qi Lu and the two respectfully

"Now who among you likes to wander around in red"

"There's been a new woman in red lately."

"Oh, tell me about her."

"Her spiritual power is too high, we don't dare to mess with her, so everyone doesn't know much about her situation."

"So that's the case, you're afraid that she won't be able to eat you."

The male ghost did not speak, but his eyes drooped, and many evil spirits not only harmed people, but also devoured lonely souls weaker than him to increase their resentment

Qi Lu asked again: "Then you should always know the time when the female ghost in red first appeared?"

"I know," the male ghost said, and Qi Lu took a pen and wrote down the time on a piece of paper

"Okay, now that the question is over, you can go now"

The male ghost stood up, but lingered and refused to leave

"Why do you want me to send you with a curse" Qi Lu grinned and said, "Or let this beautiful woman next to me knock you home with a wooden stick"

The male ghost boldly replied, "According to the rules, since you summoned me, there should be paper money and blood to send each other."

"Oh, if you don't say it, I forgot," Qi Lu found a blank piece of yellow mounted paper, dipped a brush in vermilion ink, wrote a name on it, and then handed it to the male ghost

The male ghost trembled and didn't dare to take the paper, for fear that it was a spirit rune

"Don't worry, this is just a business card, you just have to go to his place, and promise to treat you with good food and drink."

The "Titika" male ghost swallowed the yellow paper into his abdomen, but his body trembled even more

"Master Wutong, oh, you lied to me, you want me to go to him to die," the male ghost was furious, his body began to skyrocket, and his face reappeared as a demon

"Hit her with a wooden stick," Seeing that Ding Xiaolan was still in a daze, Qi Lu pushed her again

Ding Xiaolan hesitated, hit the male ghost who jumped forward with a peach stick, and saw that his figure suddenly shrank a little, and at this moment, Ding Xiaolan was not afraid, picked up the wooden stick, aimed at the male ghost's head, and beat it vigorously

It wasn't until the male ghost's figure was beaten by Ding Xiaolan that Qi Lu asked her to stop

"Ghosts like to tease people, but I never play tricks on ghosts," Qi Lu smiled and said, "Even if you go to the old monk, it's impossible not to give me this face."

"Wutong has already taken in a lot of our ghosts, I'm afraid that I will beat him to death, and he will never be able to be reborn," the male ghost cowered in the corner, trembling all over

"You are too worried, with my business card in hand, how can he be embarrassed, besides, Guanyin Temple has been prosperous recently, and there are a lot of believers to worship, this trip is a beautiful difference for you."

"Thank you, Mage"

The male ghost got up and was about to leave, Qi Lu stopped him again: "Don't forget to tell Master Wutong about your tragic life experience, maybe he will soften his heart and do a Dharma for you for free, then you will be able to vote for a good person in your next life."

Until the male ghost disappeared, Ding Xiaolan still stared at Qi Lu with suspicion

"Why don't you believe what I say," Qi Lu turned on the light, sat on the sofa and asked her lazily

Ding Xiaolan questioned him: "Why do you bother Master Wutong when we can solve it ourselves?"

"Haha," Qi Lu laughed evilly, until he couldn't breathe with laughter, and then said leisurely: "Since the old bald donkey wants to yin me, of course I can't let him be idle, isn't this just the right thing to let him do something, lest he do something crooked."

While the two were talking, Lao Wu returned, he threw the leather bag in his hand casually, sat down in his office chair dejectedly, took out the inseparable wine jug, and prepared to drink again

"Nothing," Qi Lu asked him unhurriedly

"Yes, Xiao Congwen's daughter's house, I've been to the antique market, and I've run all over it, not to mention clues, and no one even knows this sword."

"If you look for it like this, it's almost like waiting for the rabbit, of course, it won't come to fruition."

"Do you have a good idea," Lao Wu immediately came to Qi Lu's side and took out a cigarette and gave it to him

Qi Lu lit a cigarette and took a beautiful puff and said, "I don't know if it's a good idea, but it's worth a try."

He opened the drawer of his desk, took out a small square box from it, which was full of business cards, he flipped through it for a long time, and finally took out one and handed it to Lao Wu and said, "You might as well go to this person, he may be able to help."

"He knows the whereabouts of Songwen Sword"

"I guess I won't know, but he's a master of counterfeiting antiques."

"What do you mean by that?"

"You give him a photo of Songwen Sword and ask him to copy it, and then let out a rumor in the antique world, saying that this is a pair of male and female swords, and the male sword is in your hand, and he is preparing to sell it at a high price."

"Are you saying that there will be brave men under the heavy money"

"No," Qi Lu said with a smile: "The person who owns the Songwen Sword may not be as knowledgeable as Professor Jiang, and understands the origin and history of the sword, but if you let him know that there is another similar sword in this world, I think he will definitely be interested, and when the time comes, we will really just have to wait for him to take the initiative to contact us."

"You kid is a ghost with a lot of ideas," Lao Wu put his business card in his bag

"Quack", a high-pitched and high-pitched crow chirped outside the window, piercing the eardrums

"If you make a mistake, there will be crows in the city center," Lao Wu got up, pushed open the window, and poked his head out to look

There was a lot of traffic outside, and there was no end to the flow of people, who had ever seen the figure of a crow
