Chapter Twenty-Seven: Encountering Ghosts Again
Xu Xian smiled and handed the mirror to Xu Jingqiao and said, "Sir, you might as well take a look in the mirror and see how your face is different from the past." ”
Xu Jingqiao looked down, the whole person was stunned, and then stretched out his hand to wipe it off his forehead, as if he wanted to wipe off something.
Qi Lu couldn't help frowning and asked him, "Mr. Xu, what are you doing?" ”
"Who put black paint on my forehead?" But when he finished wiping it and looked at his palm, there was no smudge, and when he looked back at his face in the mirror, his forehead was still black.
Suddenly, Xu Jingqiao seemed to understand something, he pointed at Xu Xian and said sharply: "It's the ghost hall you just made!" ”
Xu Xian smiled slightly, "The world is really ignorant. ”
Xu Jingqiao was a little surprised, and he didn't know what Xu Xian's words meant. But what was even more surprising was Qi Lu and Lao Wu, because they had already seen the clues.
Only demon hunters who have experienced cultivation can see the dead qi revealed on other people's faces, and it is impossible for ordinary people to see these hidden evil qi. But Xu Xian just struck it with one palm, and he didn't see any spells he used, but he was able to let Xu Jingqiao, who was mortal with the naked eye, see his dead breath!
Xu Jingqiao didn't know the reason, and thought that Xu Xian was playing tricks, but when he saw Qi Lu and Lao Wu both looking solemn, he realized that Xu Xian didn't seem to be fooling him. He couldn't help but be a little nervous, and hurriedly asked what was going on.
Xu Xian pretended to be relaxed and replied that what else could be done, of course he was dead.
A dead word suddenly made Xu Jingqiao's scalp numb, and he stammered a little when he spoke: "Don't scare me...... I'm not going to live well. ”
"Sure enough, it's a word of loyalty, I've let you see your hidden demonic energy, don't you still want to believe it?"
Xu Jingqiao was stunned for a moment, remembering that night, Xiaojuan's ghost came to him for his life. He turned around and asked Qi Lu's opinion in disbelief: "Mr. Qi, is what he said true?" ”
"Alas, I actually returned to Hangzhou for this reason." Qi Lu told the truth.
Xu Jingqiao's face was like ashes, and he squeezed out a smile that was more ugly than crying: "Mr. Qi, you have to save me." ”
Xu Xian said again: "It's not difficult to resolve it, you will see it when you go home at this moment." ”
"It's as simple as that?"
"Of course." An unpredictable smile appeared on Xu Xian's face.
"Okay, I'll go back now!"
Xu Jingqiao was originally a timid person, and now he was shocked by this Xu Xian and immediately believed his words. In order to save his life, he didn't even want a boat, so he ran home.
Qi Lu's expression seemed to freeze, and he suddenly found that the Xu Immortal in front of him had nothing in common with the legendary Xu Xian at all, he was like a top Yin Yang magician who was hidden deeply, and his cultivation was not revealed in front of him.
Ding Xiaolan didn't have Qi Lu's thoughts, she waved her hand and pouted, "The master has gone home, do you want us to watch the boat for him?" ”
Lao Wu sighed and said, "Let's go to Xu Jingqiao's house together." ”
"Xu Jingqiao has disappeared, but we don't know where his family lives, how to get there?"
"Don't be impatient." Xu Xian smiled and asked Qi Lu: "Since Mr. Qi knows spells, he must also have a spirit rune on his body, can you give me one?" ”
"Is it enough?" Although Qi Lu didn't know what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd, he still took out a few spirit runes from his arms.
"Too many, one is enough." Xu Xian's fingers moved dexterously, and in the blink of an eye, he folded this spirit rune into a winged flying horse. I saw him recite a scripture in his mouth and blow on the paper horse in his hand, and the paper horse came to life, stretched out its wings, and flew out of his hand in a blink of an eye.
"Now, we just need to follow this pegasus to find Mr. Xu's home."
Qi Lu and the three of them were silent, and they all couldn't help but think of Chen Jixian's unique secret method, the Spirit Crane Demon Hunting Technique.
Chen Jixian folded paper into a crane to find traces of demons and ghosts, but Xu Xian's hand was a few points better than him, because Xu Xian could achieve the same effect with a piece of rune paper casually, but Chen Jixian used a special rune, and he had to fast for three days before casting the spell to have this magical power.
Seeing Xu Xian follow the direction indicated by the paper horse, Lao Wu couldn't help but shudder, and he said in a low voice: "I really didn't expect him to be such a powerful character!" Luckily, he's not our enemy, otherwise you and I wouldn't be able to resist it! ”
"What nonsense!" Ding Xiaolan said to him angrily: "We are not going to follow Xu Xian yet, he is not familiar with the people here, and it will be troublesome if he gets lost!" ”
"He's a big living person" Lao Wu still wanted to mutter, Qi Lu had already hinted that he should not say much, so the three of them followed Xu Xian to find Xu Jingqiao's trace.
After walking for two hours in a row, the paper-folded Pegasus still had no intention of stopping, and Ding Xiaolan complained, "Where does this Xu Jingqiao live?" ”
"Are you numb in your legs?" Qi Lu asked with concern.
"Hmm."
"Lao Wu, you can rest with the beauty first, and Mr. Xu and I will go to Xu Jingqiao's house first."
Lao Wu couldn't wait to do this, and when he heard Qi Lu's order, he hurriedly helped Ding Xiaolan to rest on the stone bench on the side of the road.
Qi Lu asked as he walked: "Mr. Xu, why did you let Xu Jingqiao go home?" ”
Xu Xian glanced back at Qi Lu, and a mysterious smile appeared on his face.
Qi Lu's heart was cold, and he suddenly realized Xu Xian's true intentions. "You don't mean that Xu Jing's family is weird, right?"
"Mr. Qi is really talented." Xu Xian nodded approvingly.
Qi Lu hurriedly asked: "You know that Xu Jingqiao is in danger, why do you let him go home?" Didn't that send him to death in vain! ”
"The world is ignorant, and if he doesn't suffer a little, he won't believe in the guiding light of the Buddha." Seeing that Qi Lu still had a hesitant expression on his face, Xu Xian smiled and comforted him and said, "Mr. Qi, please rest assured, everything is under my control, although Xu Jingqiao is in trouble, it is not a big problem." ”
Qi Lu was stunned, he found that Xu Xian was not only amazingly magical, but also an extremely smart person. And he was like an ignorant child, led by his nose but didn't know the truth.
In the blink of an eye, Qi Lu's heart became more and more suspicious, and he asked tentatively: "Mr. Xu, your fortune teller doesn't look at your face, and you don't touch your bones, how can you calculate that Xu Jingqiao has a disaster today?" ”
"Seeing and touching the bones is inferior in physiognomy, and it is difficult to get into the hall of elegance. I don't know how to use these outdated divinations. ”
"Then what subtle tricks does Mr. Xu have?"
"As long as I have the eight characters of birth in hand, I can naturally deduce the fortune and fortune of people." Xu Xian said proudly: "The eight characters of the birth date are the dates of the Ganzhi calendar when people are born, which are divided into four pillars: year, month, day and hour, and each column contains two words corresponding to the good fortune and misfortune in life. In your modern parlance, it's the equivalent of a unique destiny label for each person. ”
"Oh, I see." Qi Lu sensed that something was wrong as soon as he nodded, and he sneered and said, "But Xu Jingqiao didn't tell you that his birth date was eight characters?" ”
"Oh, really?" Xu Xian's face sank, and then he said: "The eight characters of birth can not only determine the fortune of a person's life, but also reflect in the person's appearance. A clever physiognomist can calculate his birth date without asking the other party's details. ”
Xu Xian's words sounded very reasonable, but Qi Lu always felt that this was too mysterious, and it was beyond the scope of his cognition. Qi Lu was about to ask further, when he saw the paper horse fly into a building and never flew out again.
Xu Xian laughed and said, "Mr. Xu's family should live here, let's go in and find him." ”
Besides, Xu Jingqiao, after hearing Xu Xian's words, he stopped a taxi on the street and hurried home. Not long after Qi Lu and the others went out, he returned to his home.
Everything was normal at home, Xu Jingqiao hesitated to look through the rooms and didn't find anything wrong, he couldn't help muttering: "That person named Xu Wen didn't mean to scare me, right?" ”
In the midst of random suspicion, Xu Jingqiao walked to the window and opened it, ready to breathe some fresh air. But the sky outside the window suddenly became gloomy, and a strong wind blew with it.
It seemed that it was going to rain, so Xu Jingqiao had to close the window again.
Just as he was closing the window, he suddenly saw a vague figure floating in the air not far from the window, and his two red eyes were exceptionally bright.
"Why are you avoiding me?" She said quietly.
"There's a ghost!" Xu Jingqiao was so frightened that he turned his head and ran into the house, closed the door with a "bang", locked the door with trembling hands, and then ran into the inner room, locking the door of the inner room.
But these actions still couldn't calm his increasingly flustered heart, Xu Jingqiao actually got into the quilt, covered his head with the quilt, and didn't dare to come out.
"Where are you?" The female voice rang out again. "Why are you avoiding me?" The voice fluttered and flickered, getting closer and closer.
Xu Jingqiao dared to squeak, and the body in the bed was trembling.
"If you don't open the door, I'll come in by myself."
My door is locked, how do you get in? As soon as Xu Jingqiao breathed a sigh of relief, he immediately thought that she was not human, and he was so frightened that he cried, and his body trembled even more.
"Where are you?" The woman's voice sounded excited, as if she was playing hide and seek.
Xu Jingqiao's home is a standard four-room house with two bedrooms, a living room and bathroom. If nothing else, this ghostly woman should soon come to Xu Jingqiao's bedroom to find him.
"Hey, hey, you're here!" Xu Jingqiao in the quilt suddenly sounded a woman's voice, so frightened that he screamed again, lifted the quilt and rushed out, only to run to the door of the house and was knocked back, because the door was locked by him!
"Why are you avoiding me?" A cold, blackened hand suddenly reached in front of Xu Jingqiao's face, touched his chin, and then twisted his face back.
"No, no, no...... Wow......" Xu Jingqiao cried in fright, his eyes closed and he didn't dare to look at the person in front of him.
"Open your eyes and see who I am." Xu Jingqiao's face had been completely broken by her, and the cold air blew on his face, making goosebumps all over his body. Xu Jingqiao's eyes were still closed, but his body was already paralyzed to the ground with fright.
"Open your eyes, why don't you look at me?" Xu Jingqiao felt a mysterious force lifting his eyelids, forcing him to open them.
"Help! Woo woo ......" The panicked Xu Jingqiao cried into tears.
At this moment, Xu Jingqiao heard a knock outside the door, followed by someone talking.
"Mr. Xu, are you at home?"
It was Qi Lu's voice, Xu Jingqiao seemed to have found a life-saving straw, and instantly felt that he was full of strength, he quickly struggled to get up and pushed the woman open and then opened the door, stumbled to the living room, and went to open the locked door.
But as soon as his hand touched the door lock, a chill came from his neck, followed by a brute force that suddenly tightened, causing his consciousness to disappear in an instant, and his two arms hung down silently.
"If you want to abandon me, then I'll kill you!" The woman's voice became extremely resentful at this time!
"Mr. Xu, are you in there?"
"Open the door, you're in danger!"
Qi Lu and Xu Xian's shouts and the sound of banging on the door came one after another, Xu Jingqiao tried to open his mouth, but he couldn't make any sound, his eyes gradually blurred, and his consciousness gradually confused......
In the haze, he saw the true face of the woman who pinched him, she was the middle-aged lady with whom he had emotional entanglements!
