Chapter 27: Phantoms
The food on the table was quickly swept away by a few greedy cats, and I had already told An Chen and Ji Yue what had happened to the ghosts in the past few days.
"It's good to eat, Brother Xiaoye's craftsmanship is excellent, you work hard to cook, then I'll go wash the dishes, and you can study how to deal with this matter." Ji Yue smiled sweetly, squeezed her eyebrows at An Chen, and then looked at the ghost with bad intentions, and quickly cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks.
"Ghost elf, I don't know your little bit of caution." The ghost glared at Ji Yue angrily, and pulled the stool away from An Chen.
"Okay, don't make a fuss, it's important to get down to business. An Chen, you go to check the news on the Internet to see if there is any news that someone has committed suicide by jumping off the building. I also went to check the family books to see if there was any information on this. ”
"No problem, you can leave it to me with confidence!" An Chen patted his chest, full of confidence.
The ghost stopped talking, shook his head, and entered the room without saying anything.
I walked quickly to the kitchen, and Ji Yue was wearing an apron with a big white pattern, which looked very cute.
"Xiao Yueyue, after you finish brushing the dishes, hurry into the house and help me pay more attention to Ling'er, I'm afraid ......"
"Don't worry! Brother Xiaoye, Ling'er, you can leave it to me, go and get busy with you. Ji Yue was afraid that the foam on her hands would get on my clothes, so she raised her hand and pushed me out of the kitchen.
Looking at An Chen's serious appearance holding the notebook, he has experienced so many things, and it is really time for him to change his temperament.
Everything was arranged, I opened the book, and with memory, I found the page in my memory, with only a few sentences of record.
"The eight-sided compass, the phantom dwells there, only hears its name, but does not see its deeds. The eight-sided magic mirror, the phantom spirit manipulated it, went alone, and was not there. ”
I pondered the meaning in my heart, no matter which ancestor of the Ghost Family recorded this book, it can be seen from this passage that although he had entered the Bafang Compass, he did not see the phantom spirit and the Bafang Magic Mirror.
There is no annotation from my father next to the classics, which means that my father has never seen the Bafang Compass in his life.
I compared the sketch of the Octagon Compass in the classics with the Octagon Compass that Mo Xun gave me.
The Octagonal Compass is an octagonal shape made of peach wood, half the size of a palm, about one centimeter thick, the edge of each edge is engraved with ancient texts, and the water chestnut has a circular hollow the size of a fingernail, and a strange beast is carved in the center of the compass, which looks very weird.
This is the first time I have looked closely at the Bafang Compass, I sent Mo Xun a WeChat message, asking her about the phantom, but she never replied to me.
It seems that after An Chen's mother left, everything was at an impasse. My 'self' 200 years later didn't provide me with any clues, and Wang San's attitude towards us became more and more strange, from the beginning of the-for-tat, and suddenly helped me save the ghost's life, I really don't know what kind of medicine he sells in the gourd.
There is also the matter of the criminal law family, Mo Xun will never give me the Bafang Compass for no reason, someone must have instructed her to do so.
In addition to these, the more important thing is my mother. If she had lived, she would have been imprisoned for the past twenty years, and this kind of pain and suffering would be unimaginable to ordinary people. If she dies and her soul is imprisoned, it turns into resentment over time.
I guess that the identity of the mother must be unusual, since ancient times, the struggle between families has not been lacking in blood, and the ghost family will hide in such a remote place as Shenpo Village, it must be hiding from something.
From my grandmother's mouth, I learned that my parents have always had a good relationship. The mother was imprisoned, and the only problem was on the mother's family's side.
I still have an incomplete inscription on my body, Mo Xun said that their family is a female and not a male, is my mother related to their family. That would explain why Tong Moxun deliberately approached me and the ghosts.
If I have an inscription on my body, then the ghost should also have it, why do I need Xu Jialin's mother's inheritance. Everything in this is strange, as if someone is brewing a grand conspiracy.
In the face of ancient books and intricate family relationships, what I know with the ghosts is only scratching the surface.
In addition to having a tough battle with the wraith, what is even more feared is the person who is circling in various families.
Just as I was thinking about it, the WeChat prompt sounded, opened it and saw that it was a short video, the video was very dim, as the camera slowly moved, I saw the beautiful woman prostrate on the ground with a pale face, because the light was too dim, I couldn't tell whether she was Mo Xun or Han Zimeng.
I dialed Mo Xun's phone, connected, and before I could speak, the other party hung up, and no matter how I dialed, it was turned off, and I watched the video over and over again, and the place was similar to the ancient ancestral hall.
"It's harder to save her with your current ability than to ascend to the sky."
I turned my head and saw Nosha appear in my room out of thin air.
"You didn't come here to say these sarcastic things, did you?" I rushed to Nosha's side, reached for his collar, and actually passed through his body.
This is his spirit, the same as the one I saw when I first saw him in the side alley.
"I'm not here to quarrel with you, I'm here to tell you that the only way to save her is to catch the phantom." Nosha told me straight to the point.
"Wraiths? You mean that those who committed suicide by jumping off a building were done by phantoms. ”
"The phantom is not bad in nature, but it is infected with resentment." Nosha sighed.
"Are the phantoms you are talking about from the Bafang Compass?"
Noxia nodded and said: "It's not a simple matter to catch the phantom, the more time you delay, the more people will die, you only have 6 days, and from today onwards, seven people will die every day, until there are enough dead seven, seventy-nine people." ”
I asked eagerly, "What will be the result?" ”
"The evil thoughts of the phantom will be awakened, she will create illusions like crazy, I heard that it appeared once a thousand years ago, and was later subdued by the elders, some people say that the appearance of the phantom is just a foreshadowing." Nosha looked at me with confusion in his eyes.
"Is it Mo Xun or Han Zimeng who is imprisoned?"
Nosha looked at me and smiled contemptuously, "Which one do you care about?" ”
I didn't answer because I didn't know the answer, these two people appeared in my life in different capacities, and I didn't know much about it and couldn't judge it yet.
"Do you know how to subdue a wraith?" I can only digress from the subject.
Nosha shook his head and sighed, "I'm not qualified to go, so I can only rely on you." ”
Every time I saw him, he was unstoppable, and now he was so depressed, it was very surprising, maybe this was the disparity in status in the family.
"You love Mo Xun!" I don't know why I blurted it out.
Noxia didn't look at me, and replied in frustration: "It's not me who can give her happiness." And when he had said this, his spirit vanished.
I stood there for a long time, unable to come back to my senses, thinking about what I meant by that.
