Chapter 6: Ghost Painting
"Yes." Liu Yifan did not deny it. "This kid has been cursed with death, but here he has ruined him, but next time he will not be so lucky."
"Curse?" Qi Lu thought for a while, and then he was relieved. "The essence of the spell is bondage, and the spell used to restrain feelings is, of course, love, a spell that works better than any mantra."
Things are already very clear, Xu Jingqiao is disappointed by Xiaojuan, so that she can't resolve the resentment in her heart when she is dying, and hatred because of love is also a common thing in the world.
After thinking about it, Qi Lu said hesitantly: "I think that although this matter involves the master's private feelings, you must not bear to stand by and watch." ”
"It's a real head-wrenching thing." Liu Yifan said softly to express his worries. "As Xiaojuan's uncle, I can't wait for this bastard boy to pay for his life; But as an onmyoji, I had to exercise my duties. ”
"The master is high-spirited, Qi is very impressed." Qi Lu sighed.
"All I can do now is do my best and obey the destiny of God."
Qi Lu took out a cigarette, and when he saw Liu Yifan shaking his hand and refusing, he smoked it alone. When a puff of smoke erupted from his mouth, he pretended to be casual and said, "Today, the master drank away Xiaojuan's resentful soul, but she will return her soul on the first seven days, what are you going to do, master?" ”
"What else can I do, I can only try to resolve it." Liu Yifan looked helpless.
The seemingly vague words made Qi Lu listen to them in awe. After all, the resentful soul is his own niece, if it is like dealing with ordinary ghosts, it is naturally not a problem to get rid of her, but in this way, Xiaojuan will be scattered, which is of course not the result that Liu Yifan expects. But if he lets it go, Xu Jingqiao will die, and Liu Yifan is willing to help him regardless of his previous suspicions, which is enough to prove that Liu Yifan's character is rare and valuable.
Qi Lu then put his mind at ease, and he volunteered to say: "Can the master leave contact information, although Qi is not talented, he is willing to help resolve this grievance as soon as possible." ”
"Of course I can't ask for help." Liu Yifan was overjoyed, he took out his business card from his pocket and handed it to Qi Lu.
"At that time, I hope that Mr. Qi will come to the humble house to discuss the best way to resolve it."
"Okay, I'll pay a visit then."
The two regretted parting with each other, and the matter was settled.
After saying goodbye to Liu Yifan, Qi Lu went upstairs and went back to the hotel room to get ready for sleep.
Just as he stepped into the hallway and walked to the door to open the door with his room card, a gust of wind blew from behind him.
Why, could it be that Xiaojuan's ghost is ready to pester herself again when she sees her uncle leaving? But it doesn't make sense, she has been driven away, and the newly dead lonely ghost has no ability to return!
Qi Lu's heart moved, and he turned around to check what was going on, but there was nothing behind him.
So he took a few more steps in the direction of the wind, and saw a dark shadow curled up in front of the hallway.
When did it appear? I remember when I stepped out of the hallway, I really didn't see this thing.
Qi Lu paused, squinted, and found that the black shadow was a woman, and the moonlight outside the window fell on the woman's long hair that was sinuous and drooping, exuding a black and moist light. Is she really Xiaojuan? It doesn't look much like it from the outside.
Just when Qi Lu was thinking about whether to step forward and see her appearance clearly, the woman spoke faintly, "If you are not good for him, I will not have good fruit for you to eat." ”
"Do you think the Soul Traveler would be afraid of such a threat?"
Qi Lu sneered, and when he was about to step forward, a bright light came from behind him. He looked back in surprise and found that it was Lao Wu who had opened the door and leaned against the door and looked at him lazily.
"There's a ghost at work!" Qi Lu hurriedly reminded him.
"Yes, I just felt an evil aura outside in the house, but it doesn't look like the yin aura emitted by a ghost."
"She's not a ghost, so what's that?" Qi Lu turned around and pointed to the woman's figure and said.
But he was immediately disappointed, for the woman had disappeared.
"Impossible, there was a woman here who threatened me just now!"
"You're kidding, I didn't see anything." Old Wu looked at him suspiciously and said, "Besides, if there is a ghost to threaten you, then he will be impatient." ”
"yes, ghosts are still living things." Qi Lu sneered.
"You don't deduct words, don't come in to sleep, tomorrow Xiaoding will have to go shopping for another day, I can't stand it if you're not tired."
"Okay." Qi Lu said helplessly: "I really have something to do tomorrow." As he spoke, he had an idea in his mind.
In a blink of an eye, the next day, when Qi Lu was having breakfast with them, he took out Liu Yifan's business card and handed it to Lao Wu.
"Hey, you also have acquaintances in Hangzhou?" Lao Wu was very surprised.
"You know the name, right?"
"Of course, Liu Yifan is a celebrity, not as low-key as us." There was a bit of a sour taste in Lao Wu's words. "When did you know him? I haven't heard you mention it. ”
"I just met him for the first time last night, and this is the business card he gave me."
Lao Wu asked strangely: "Didn't you follow Xu Jingqiao last night?" Why did you get involved with this guy again? ”
Ding Xiaolan also put down her chopsticks and asked, "Yes, you haven't told us about yesterday's experience." ”
Qi Lu smiled slightly, and told them everything that happened yesterday.
"I didn't expect so much to happen last night." Lao Wu sighed a little, "Do you mean that you are going to wait to visit Liu Yifan?" ”
"Of course I want to meet him, but not to visit him, but to go somewhere else." Qi Lu smiled mysteriously.
Ding Xiaolan asked, "Go to Xu Jingqiao?" ”
"Not really." Qi Lu said frankly: "Let's go and send a wreath to Xiaojuan." ”
"So you're going to Xiaojuan's house." Ding Xiaolan understood, but she said a little worriedly: "We don't know where she lives, how can we find her home?" ”
"It's simple. Liu Yifan must be handling the funeral at his niece's house now, so let's just call him directly. ”
"Hehe, you're still smart."
After breakfast, after Qi Lu finished talking to Liu Yifan according to the phone number on the business card, the three of them simply packed up and went out to Xiaojuan's house.
When he came downstairs to Xiaojuan's house, Qi Lu saw the spirit shed between the units, Liu Yifan was standing at the entrance of the shed to greet the guests, Qi Lu hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, and Ding Xiaolan handed the wreath and white envelope to him.
The two politely said a few words, Qi Lu introduced the names of Ding Xiaolan and the two to Liu Yifan, and then went into the shed to accompany Xiaojuan's parents to say comforting words, and then bowed to the deceased.
After viewing Xiaojuan's body, Liu Yifan pulled the three of them to sit on a chair outside the shed, and then arranged for a junior to serve them tea.
Taking advantage of the opportunity to drink tea, Qi Lu asked Liu Yifan in a low voice: "Isn't the city now forbidden residents to set up mourning halls at home, master, aren't you worried that the chengguan will come here to interfere?" ”
Qi Lu's question was a little abrupt, but Liu Yifan knew that he meant well, so he replied in a low voice: "This is a rural area on the outskirts of the city, and the rules in the city don't work well for me." What's more, the countryside all believe in this set, and the worst result is also a penalty point, which will not get in the way. ”
The two were chatting, and Lao Wu stood up coldly and said to Liu Yifan: "Master Liu, I have a few words, I don't know if it's inconvenient to say." ”
"Mr. Wu, just say something." Liu Yifan knew that he and Qi Lu came, so naturally he was not an idle person, and his tone of voice was quite polite.
"You are all proficient in yin and yang matters, I wonder what Master Liu can see from the face of the deceased's body?"
"Alas, my niece's soul has become a terrible ghost, and I am worried about it." Liu Yifan saw that he had the point, and hurriedly invited the three of them to a secluded corner, before asking Lao Wu: "You must have heard Mr. Qi say that Mr. Qi met my niece's ghost last night, right?" ”
"Yes." Lao Wu glanced at Liu Yifan, and said with emotion: "Your niece doesn't come out with a life, I'm afraid that the soul who won't feel at ease will return to the underworld." ”
"That's true. I'm worried about how I'm going to deal with the first seven days now, but with a few helps, I think it's going to end perfectly. ”
"The first seven?" Lao Wu sneered and said, "I'm afraid you won't be able to wait for that day!" ”
Liu Yifan was stunned suddenly, and suddenly knew that there was a deep meaning in Lao Wu's words, and hurriedly asked: "I am stupid, and I hope that Mr. Wu will confess to him." ”
"Master Liu's physiognomy is amazing, I have heard of your name a long time ago, and I didn't dare to get an axe today, but the matter is urgent, and I can only say my own opinion."
Lao Wu first complimented him, and then changed the conversation and said: "Although you are extremely good at telling fortunes, you may not be very good at talking about ghosts." ”
Liu Yifan was shocked, it was the first time in his life that he heard someone say that ghosts can also tell fortunes in front of him, and he couldn't help but ask in disbelief: "Can you still be a ghost?" ”
Ding Xiaolan heard Lao Wu's words on the side, and couldn't help but chuckle and said, "Don't brag in front of the master, I've been with you for a long time, where can I see you have this ability?" ”
As soon as she finished speaking, Qi Lu showed her with his eyes and pulled her aside, not letting Ding Xiaolan disturb the conversation between Liu Yifan and Lao Wu.
Ding Xiaolan looked at Qi Lu and said a little puzzled: "How can you condone him to brag, Liu Yifan is not an ordinary person, don't make jokes." ”
Qi Lu said softly: "Old Wu is not bragging, now Liu Yifan is in trouble immediately." ”
"Could it be that Lao Wu really knows how to be a ghost?"
"Huh." Qi Lu smiled slightly, but then he restrained his smile and said, "Xiangghost, it's indeed a bit bragging." However, when Lao Wu and I were looking at Xiaojuan's body just now, we found through the face of the deceased that her soul had transformed her resentment into death, which is the appearance of a great murderer! ”
"If that's the case, Master Liu won't be able to see it?" Ding Xiaolan didn't seem to believe it.
"Now the symptoms are not obvious, let alone Master Liu, the current Yin and Yang magicians can't see it. By the time they can see it, it'll be too late! ”
"Cut!" Ding Xiaolan said sarcastically: "People can't see it, how can you see it?" ”
Qi Lu grinned again: "Don't forget, we are immortals." ”
Ding Xiaolan was stunned for a moment, although she believed his words, she still felt awkward to listen to what he said, so she wanted to tease Qi Lu a few words, but her attention immediately turned to Liu Yifan's side.
Because she saw that Liu Yifan's face had changed greatly, she hurriedly walked into the spirit shed.
After a while, Liu Yifan hurriedly returned to Lao Wu's side, with a panicked look on his face. He arched his hand and said to Lao Wu: "Mr. Wu, I really got you the expectation, I don't know if there is a way to solve it?" ”
