Chapter 2: The Ghost Comes to the Door
Gu Zhi was not stunned by the intimidation in his words: "Thank you for your praise." Mr. Half, I will not send it far. ”
As soon as these words came out, the temperature around him dropped to freezing point in an instant, and Ban Yu stood up slowly, a faint light flickered on his side, but Gu Zhi had already walked to the door, waiting for Ban Yu to leave, and he didn't seem to see his surging anger at all.
After a few breaths, the imperceptible light gradually disappeared, and Banyou did not follow Gu Zhi's wishes to leave, but sat down again, picked up the water on the coffee table, and took a sip unhurriedly, looking like he was planning to continue to stay.
Gu Zhi saw that Banyou was unmoved, and in line with the principle of not being able to provoke but being able to hide, he scolded secretly, and wanted to go by himself.
It's a pity that Banyou didn't want to stay alone, so Gu Zhi was forced to stay, he couldn't get out, this office was enchanted, unless the caster agreed, otherwise the people outside couldn't get in, and the people inside couldn't get out, Gu Zhi was trapped.
"What the hell do you want?" Gu Zhi didn't expect the half-ghost to act like such a scoundrel, and he revealed his true nature in a hurry.
"Tell me about the process of your acquaintance with my god." Compared with Gu Zhi's impatience, Banyu is very leisurely.
Gu Zhi saw that Ban Yu was quite unreasonable, and knew that it was useless to say more, so he could only choose to temporarily retreat, and it seemed impossible to accompany Huai Wei to take the talisman seal, so he could only hope for Huai Wei himself, but he was still not at ease, and was polite, he symbolically asked another person in the office: "Do you mind if I send a message first?"
As for how much sincerity there is in this inquiry, some of it is based on concerns, and he doesn't care, nodding his head to show that Gu Zhi is convenient, which is also equivalent to indirectly telling him that the enchantment will not block the signal.
After telling Huai Wei in detail and getting an affirmative answer, Gu Zhi could finally rest assured a little and devote part of his mind to dealing with this difficult guy Banyou, but the evil spirit that stopped him just now couldn't help out, so he asked knowingly: "Who is my god?" I don't seem to know anyone with that name, Mr. Ban, are you mistaken? ”
"My name is Hu." Banyou didn't intend to ignore Gu Zhi's provocation.
"Hu? Oh, I remember, that was the last god in the world, and her soul didn't dissipate? When I was conscious, I heard the news of the destruction of the Protoss, how could I know her? "When it comes to pretending to be stupid, no one can compare to Gu Zhi.
"Yesterday I heard you call her 'Awei'." In this battle of words, Banyou didn't hold back after all and surrendered first.
"It turns out that Mr. Half is talking about Ah Wei, then it would be good if you said no, I don't understand it. When I met her, her name was Huaiwei, no other name. Gu Zhi opened directly, and also reminded Banyu not to talk about things.
"Mr. Gu hasn't answered my question yet." Semi-secluded did everything he could to maintain his demeanor.
Gu Zhi elegantly remade a cup of coffee for himself, took the coffee slowly, paced to the sofa, sat down leisurely, and then spoke: "I can't see that Mr. Half is still an anxious person, I didn't figure out the protagonist before, but now that I have made it clear, then we can talk about Ah Wei." Ah Wei and I have known each other for almost 2,000 years, and now that I think about it, it was really an extremely long time, and I can't remember some things clearly. But I will never forget the first time I saw her, or rather, her soul, when she was so weak that she could barely maintain her human form, and I don't know how she came to be like that. ”
was about to reminisce about the past, feeling the sense of the past, but before he could let out a sigh, he was interrupted, and the aura of the semi-secluded body changed, and he no longer had the leisurely appearance he had before, and he sat down and asked, "What does it look like?"
"Huh?" Gu Zhi, who was recalling the past, was suddenly interrupted, and he was a little surprised by the change in Banyou's attitude, and paused before he began to answer, "It's very weak, fluttering, it looks like it's about to dissipate, the snake's tail is exposed, and it can't be hidden." And her eyes were red and muddy, and she didn't say anything when asked. Jade has the effect of warming the soul, so I put her into my body and let her recover slowly. In the first few years, she didn't pay attention to people at all, and she didn't care about anyone talking to her, but then she got better and would respond simply, but she just loved to be in a daze, and often sat all day. When we asked her about the past, she shook her head, and we thought she must have had amnesia and couldn't remember the past. Usually there are only two of us, and she doesn't like to talk, so she doesn't feel inconvenient. Once it became a physical entity, a lot of problems arose, so I decided to give both of us a name. There was a poet who always liked to chant at the door of my house, 'Caring for each other, singing a long song with a lot', and after listening to it, I naturally remembered it, so I took a few words to form the names of the two of us. The next thing is to adapt to the life of the world, fortunately, I have the ability to identify jade, and Ah Wei is also very good at eating, occasionally helping others try dishes, and thousands of years have passed. ”
Gu Zhi's narration ends here, and there is no detailed description, it is just a very ordinary dry talk, as for the deep or shallow feeling, it all depends on the mood of the listener, anyway, it can't be seen on the surface, or the upright appearance.
After being silent for a while, Ban You, who had listened to the story, ended his meditative state, slowly got up, tidied up his clothes a little, and then solemnly invited Gu Zhi to have dinner with him, with a sincere attitude, as if the stubborn maniac who was hostile to Gu Zhi yesterday and threatened him just now and trapped him with an enchantment had never appeared.
Gu Zhi really wanted to refuse, but Banyou didn't give him a chance, so he called the assistant in front of Gu Shi to help him book a place for two people in the restaurant, and insisted on taking the same car with Gu Shi to the place where he ate.
Banyou arranged everything clearly, and didn't leave a gap for Gu Zhi to say "no" at all, and Gu Zhi was not good at saying "no".
In the end, Gu Zhi reluctantly followed Banyou and ate the most embarrassing dinner in his life, and the two of them didn't say a word, carrying out the spirit of "eating without speaking" to the end.
was forced to agree to Banyou's invitation, but Gu Zhi still remembered Huaiwei's talisman seal, and specially reminded her on the way to the restaurant.
However, there are some things that can't be avoided, and I'm afraid of what will come.
With Gu Zhi's nagging offensive, the forgetful Huai Wei finally did not forget to go to Lao Zhu to get the talisman seal.
Lao Zhu's full name is Zhulu, the owner of a funeral supplies store, on the surface he is an ordinary person who sells ingots and candles, and his real identity is the orthodox successor of Taoism. When Huaiwei arrived at the store, she just in time for Lao Zhu to go out to help the neighbor children collect fright and exorcise evil spirits, and only Lao Zhu's little apprentice was in the store.
The little apprentice dared to be an orphan, and happened to be picked up by Lao Zhu, so he stayed by his side to raise, both as a son and as an apprentice, this child is down-to-earth and hardworking, simple and honest, filial piety and sensible, everything is good, but the brain is not very bright, and he will always remember things wrong.
However, Huai Wei likes to dare very much, and thinks that he just hasn't opened his mind yet, and every time he comes, he will bring him delicious food and make fun of this upright little apprentice. Today, because it was a special period, Huai Wei didn't talk much to Daxin, and left after taking the talisman seal.
The old man's shop is some distance from Huaiwei's home, and Huaiwei only goes after work, and it will inevitably take some time to come and go. Of course, Huaiwei hasn't arrived home yet, the sun is already setting, and night is coming.
The sky gradually sank, just like Huai Wei's mood at the moment, she quickened her pace, and finally returned home before the moonlight appeared. It was still summer, and it was the hottest time, but an inexplicable chill invaded Huaiwei, so scared that she almost lost the key. Speed up the action to open the door, like a gust of wind blowing into the door, and then close the door with his backhand, and throw a talisman to the back of the door with a very fast speed. The cold feeling that followed her instantly dissipated, and the suffocating feeling that Huai Wei was breathless quietly withdrew, and the talisman took effect, and she could finally lean against the wall and breathe a sigh of relief.
Temporarily solving the problem of life and death, Huaiwei, who is a foodie, wants to start filling her stomach, just in case, although the crisis is lifted, she still does not let down her vigilance, and takes the remaining talisman seal to the kitchen and puts it on the counter, where she can reach it with a wave of her hand.
Huai Wei, who loves food and loves cooking, has a special affection for food, which may be related to her past experience, in her subconscious, delicious food can cure all bad moods, cooking should be a pleasant process, and should not carry any negative emotions, otherwise it will affect the taste of food.
Humming a song, Huai Wei, who was in a good mood, suddenly became excited, the kitchen knife in her hand fell on the chopping board with a "clang", she tried her best to ignore the coldness from her ankles, her eyes kept glancing at the Fu Seal, and her hand secretly stretched out to that place, and she was about to reach it, the bag containing the Fu Seal "whoosh", flew away, and fell on the carpet in the living room, only nearly one meter away from Huai Wei, who was unable to advance or retreat at the moment, a distance that was both near and far, and the Fu Seal was clearly in front of her, but she just couldn't get it.
At first, there was only an uncomfortable cold feeling in the left ankle, unable to move, extremely fast, this feeling was transmitted to the right foot, transferred upward, and added a force that overwhelmed Huaiwei, making Huaiwei unable to move a bit, and could only let the desperate coldness swallow her whole body, deprive her of her original body temperature, and drag her into a hopeless and cold hell.
"See you again, remember me, Xiaowei?" The coldness had already reached his neck, and the words were whispered in his ear.
Of course, Huaiwei remembered the voice, which had almost cornered her last year, almost devouring her soul and replacing her. This ghost, who was clearly seriously injured by Gu Zhi with several talismans, was close to dissipating, and could not continue to exist in the world, how could he still have such a powerful influence now, he could break through the prohibition on the door, and he could also imprison her from acting, at this moment, Huai Wei's heart set off a storm.
