Chapter 19: The Conjuring
This little girl seemed to have lost her soul, her body trembled, like a zombie, and gradually walked towards the stage.
Seeing this scene, I didn't have time to think about it, so I hugged her and blindfolded her at the same time, and Meng Yun'er recovered suddenly.
After waking up, she saw my ambiguous posture, and immediately screamed, and slapped me in the back: "What are you doing, let go of me." ”
I blushed, but I still hugged her: "Don't go over, this stage is very weird." ”
Meng Yun'er was ashamed and angry, she gritted her teeth: "You bastard, I fought with you." ”
Seeing this situation, I hurriedly dodged, fortunately, this little girl is not unreasonable, after a simple explanation, she is also quite curious, but this time I don't dare to look at it again.
"I just felt uneasy, as if I had been dragged away." Meng Yun'er said.
I frowned, this thing is very strange, is there really something evil happening, at this time, I remembered the book that Er Mazi gave me, there is a strange and mysterious spell recorded on it, called Soul Summoning.
It is said that whenever there is a child who has lost his soul or a deceased relative wants to go home, he must summon the soul through a warlock, and in the countryside, he usually holds a gong and shouts the name of the master while beating the drum, so it is a conjuring spirit.
I was shocked, looked up at the stage, and vaguely, I saw the eyes of the two actors, the yin owl was scary, staring at me all the time, and suddenly secretly said that it was not good.
"No, these troupes are not simple, let's hurry up." I pulled Meng Yun'er and turned my head to flee.
However, at this moment, I suddenly saw a girl not far away, walking towards the stage in a daze, still wearing thin pajamas, it was really strange in the cold.
The girl closed her eyes and walked very seriously, I frowned, and found that the girl seemed to be very resistant, Meng Yun'er also saw it, she pointed at it in fright and said, "You save her." ”
I'm very speechless, buddy, I'm not a serious detective, how can I have that ability.
But my innate sense of justice told me that I had helped with this.
"Wait a minute, I want to see how different this troupe is." I'm not in a hurry.
At that moment, the two of us settled down and hid in the corner to observe, only to see the girl walk to the stage, tilt her head, like a puppet with a string, staggering back and forth, and at the same time opening her mouth wide and muttering to herself.
On the stage, a man and a woman were still singing, and the girls below didn't seem to be able to attract their attention at all.
About ten minutes later, with the sound of a gong, the singing ended, and the two scenes retreated into the background, and the girl was still swaying there, and no one came to pick it up.
I couldn't wait any longer, so I asked Meng Yun'er to wait in place, and then quietly ran over.
When I got to the front, I was very nervous, for fear that those dramas would come out and hurt me, but fortunately, everything was calm.
"Little girl, wake up." I hurriedly patted the girl on the shoulder.
However, she seemed to be sleepwalking, and could not wake up, and now I was anxious, afraid that she would be in any danger, so I picked up the girl and ran.
Meng Yun'er looked at me dumbfounded and said, "If you are discovered, you still think you are going to be abducted." ”
I was also quite embarrassed, and said with a wry smile: "In extraordinary times, we don't pay so much attention to it." ”
But at this moment, I suddenly had a sense of crisis, and suddenly my heart was cold, and when I looked back, behind me, on the stage, there was a grimace beating, like a silk cloth, and like a flag, floating in the air.
"Do you see anything about that?" I rubbed my eyes, and Meng Yun'er shook her head in confusion: "No, what's wrong." ”
My intuition told me that there was indeed a pair of eyes staring at me from behind, and seeing this, I hurriedly took the girl into the car.
After getting in the car, I asked the young man to hurry up and leave this hellish place, but the young man was quite obedient, and with one foot on the accelerator, the old broken car clicked, let out a butt of smoke, and fled from here.
When I got out of Lotus Town, because it was night, it was pitch black all around, and in the sixties, there were few street lights in the town, and it was dark all the way.
The car was driving on an unmanned road, and it was very quiet all around, and I was a little panicked, always feeling like something was going to happen, and behind the car, the girl remained the same.
After driving for more than half an hour, suddenly, the car suddenly turned off, and the young man was sweating profusely, and after getting out of the car to check it, he said, "It's over, the boss has to deduct my salary." ”
But I always felt that something was wrong, so I hurriedly looked out of the car, and there were small forests on both sides, and farmland not far away, and there was a faint fragrance in the air.
At this moment, behind her, the girl twitched violently, opened her eyes, and looked ahead in fear: "No, don't take me away, don't take me away." ”
I looked out in confusion, there was nothing to do at all, Meng Yun'er hurriedly comforted: "Don't be afraid, we are all good people." ”
But the girl's eyes were staring straight ahead, deep in the dark road, as if there was something hidden, seeing this, I hurriedly got out of the car, staring at the front, the more I looked, the more I felt that something was wrong, and the more I looked, the more I felt as if there was a row of figures.
Gradually, in front of the car, a row of people walked out, at first I was quite calm, but until I was dozens of meters away, I was so frightened that my face turned pale and my body trembled.
I saw a group of actors dressed in red slowly walking out, their faces were thin and pale, their eyes were very large, they were holding lanterns in their hands, and they were walking on tiptoe.
It's not just me, the young man and Meng Yun'er are all scared, and the girl.
"Jiang Sheng, what is this?" Meng Yun'er replied.
"I think we seem to have a ghost hitting the wall." I said perfunctorily, but this ghost hitting the wall is not so evil.
The red-clothed actors stopped in front of the car and didn't move a step, the lanterns in their hands looked cold and lonely under the swaying of the cold wind.
Suddenly, these ghost things said in unison: "Xiaofeng, Xiaofeng, come on......"
More than a dozen red-clothed actors murmured, and I was shocked in my heart, it was indeed a conjuring.
Inside the car, Xiaofeng struggled violently, his eyes became more and more wrong, looking at us with a distress look, seeing this, I stood in front of me ruthlessly: "Who are you, why do you want to harm the girl of the good family?" ”
These red-clothed actors ignored me at all, still screaming, but at this moment, I felt that my skin was a little numb, and when I touched it with my hand, it was a piece of powder, and I immediately understood that these guys were not good stubble, but evil crooked.
Powder can confuse people's hearts, I hurriedly asked Meng Yun'er to close the car window, the young man was already trembling with fright, grasping the steering wheel and trembling.
But fortunately, I am invincible, these powders do not work, I am ruthless in my heart, today the Grandmaster Sword did not come out, so I simply picked up a stick on the side of the road and rushed towards the red-clothed play.
But the strange thing is that these red-clad actors seem to be fluttering and dodging like ghosts, but it seems that this action angered them, and they glared at me fiercely.
"Hmph, others are afraid of you, but I'm not afraid, Lao Tzu is the descendant of Chen Zhengde, go to your uncle." I don't care if these ghosts can understand it or not, anyway, I scare them with the reputation of Master De.
But it seems that the old guy's name is not very loud, and they are not moved at all.
"Hundred Lotus Society, a thousand lives, take your blood, and repay the world." One of the red-clothed actors spoke.
When I heard it, I didn't understand it at all, but it was to the effect that I understood, that is, this group of people is the Hundred Lotus Society, and they want the blood of the girl to repay this world.
"You guys are too, harming people is harming people, and you're so high-end." I despise it very much.
But this group of people is very strange, their bodies are like ghosts, and they can't get close at all, and at this moment, the young man shouted, "The car is ready." ”
As soon as I heard this, I turned my head and got into the car, and the car rushed forward, and the red-clothed actors dodged and did not face each other, and I was immediately relieved, it seems that this matter is solved.
In this way, I returned to Dongmen Town safely, and I asked Meng Yun'er to temporarily place Xiaofeng in the restaurant first, and then send it back early tomorrow morning, and she readily agreed.
Then, I hurried back to the rice warehouse, Er Mazi was anxiously waiting there, and when he saw me coming back, he didn't care, but went to see his beloved broken car for the first time.
"Good guy, the car is worn out a little, and you will be deducted from half a month's salary." Ermazi's face was dark.
"That's how it is." The young man lowered his head and muttered, and Er Mazi was angry: "Deduct a month's salary from you." ”
I didn't dare to speak, for fear that this guy would settle accounts with me. But fortunately, Er Mazi just talked about it casually, and then I told him what happened, especially the drama team.
When Er Mazi heard about this, he was so frightened that he almost fell to the ground.
"You mean they're the Hundred Lotus Society?"
"yes!" I wondered.
Er Mazi suddenly cried and laughed, touched his belly, patted it, and shook his head again, not knowing what he was thinking.
After a long time, Er Mazi said: "Ming'er, you will take the guy, beware." ”
I asked him why, but Er Mazi didn't say, but it seemed that I was in danger, and this night, I tossed for a long time before falling asleep.
Early the next morning, when I got up, the young man asked me to go to the restaurant, saying that Meng Yuan had an invitation, and I thought that this guy must have wanted to ask me about the disappearance of the girl in Lotus Town, and he agreed.
Then, according to Er Mazi's instructions, I wrapped the grandmaster sword in cloth, and then carried it on my back, just like the ancient knights, a bit of the flavor of the rivers and lakes.
After arriving at the restaurant, I came to the second floor, inside, Meng Yuan and Meng Yun'er were also there, but what surprised me a little was that Er Mazi was also inside.
When I went in, I saw that each of them looked wrong, and they didn't say a word, and they were full of slander in their hearts.
"What's the matter with me?" I sat on the side, and Meng Yun'er came over and whispered in my ear, "We seem to be in trouble." ”
I thought about it, what's the trouble, isn't it just last night, Lao Tzu, I have even experienced Chen Wangye, and I'm afraid of this.
After a while, Meng Yuan stared at me and said, "Yun'er told me about last night's incident, but what I didn't expect was that it turned out to be the Bailian Society, and you two got into big trouble." ”
I don't know why: "Can you explain it?" ”
Er Mazi sighed bitterly on the side, shook his head and explained to me.
It turns out that the so-called Hundred Lotus Society is actually a huge organization, they make a living by singing, and everywhere they go, they do not collect money or bribes, but only the blood of young girls, which is said to be used to support a big man in the church.
Over the decades, they have roamed the country and caused many deaths, but no one has dared to provoke them.
Hearing this, I was a little angry, this is an evil crooked way, what's so scary, although I know that sometimes evil in this world can cover the sky with one hand, but it can't be so upright.
"Uncle Mazi, this is your mistake, we can't back down when we encounter this." I am righteous and awe-inspiring.
"Well, you don't know, they're like ghosts, and they might be able to kill you while you're sleeping." Er Mazi was very helpless.
This Bailian Society is indeed weird, they don't seem to be alive, they come and go without a trace, I also became nervous all of a sudden, I'm okay with everything else, but my vigilance is too low when I sleep, in case someone cuts off my head, it's over.
Suddenly, several of us were silent, and Meng Yuan shook his head and said, "That's it, I asked Jiang Sheng to do this matter, let me solve it." ”
Er Mazi was surprised: "What do you want to do, you ......"
As he spoke, he glanced at Meng Yun'er, who suddenly shuddered, and Meng Yuan pulled his face and said, "No matter how confused I am, I can't use my own daughter." ”
I also seem to understand, they are going to make a deal, do they want to use Xiaofeng, that is the girl last night, I don't know why, I suddenly panicked in my heart.
Trading human life seems to be a bit against the principles of heaven.
Meng Yuan stared at me and said that it was twelve o'clock tonight, waiting on the roof of the restaurant, and then got up and left, Meng Yun'er followed closely and looked at me deeply.
It is also unjust enough to be wronged by such an unwarranted disaster, I looked back at Er Mazi, this guy is also quite unreliable, as if it is none of his business, and he is still drinking a little wine there.
All day, I was in a daze, and I didn't want to work, Er Mazi was just free-range for me, which was also easy.
At about midnight, I went to the restaurant with Er Mazi, and the old guy said that he wanted to see the Bailian Society.
When I arrived at the rooftop of the restaurant, I found Meng Yuan standing there alone, and there was a table of eight immortals on the rooftop, on which two cups of tea were poured, and there was a stick of incense next to it.
Meng Yuan looked indifferent, sat there drinking tea, and when he saw the two of us coming, he nodded, and Er Mazi also sat on the side, of course, I naturally have a place.
"Be more humble later, if they have any requirements, we will agree." Meng Yuan reminded.
It seems that even he, a wealthy businessman, is afraid of being remembered by Bailian, so I muttered all of a sudden, is it more terrible than Prince Chen.
After waiting for more than half an hour, all of a sudden, a cold wind blew from the sky, accompanied by a fragrant fragrance, just like what I smelled on the trail last night.
I was frightened and hurriedly stood up, and Ermazi asked me to sit down quickly.
After a while, a middle-aged woman in a robe walked slowly, with unwiped rouge powder still hanging on her face.
Meng Yuan hurriedly stood up and bowed slightly: "Bailian will come, and my Meng family will shine." ”
The middle-aged woman smiled slightly, for some reason, I always felt very awkward, maybe it was because after watching De Ye for a long time, I was a little embarrassed.
"Please come and make it clear, how to solve last night's incident?" The middle-aged woman is not very old, and her name is very old-fashioned, and she is quite straight to the point.
Meng Yuan and Er Mazi both looked at each other, did not answer immediately, and estimated that they were both weighing.
After a while, Meng Yuan replied: "Otherwise, let's lose some money and set up a few tables of good wine and food." ”
The middle-aged woman shook her head: "The rites of the world can't be taught to me." ”
It seems that I am not very satisfied, I don't say anything, just look at what this guy still wants, Meng Yuan frowned, and continued to think deeply.
After a long time, he continued: "In this way, I will hand over Xiaofeng, can it be settled?" ”
When I heard it, I couldn't sit still, isn't this still a human life, what are you kidding, Er Mazi didn't quite agree, and knocked down the table with a teacup.
However, the middle-aged woman still shook her head: "This is not enough, I want this little brother to go to our Bailian Society." ”
As he spoke, he pointed at me with his white hand, and for a moment, I could no longer sit still, and stood up and glared at her.
"What, you want my life or not?" I'm really hot, damn it, if I really want to make this deal, then I might as well resist.
Er Mazi was also taken aback by my actions, and was busy pulling, but I ignored it, Lao Tzu is not a soft persimmon, just pinch it, even in the face of Chen Wangye and a lot of weird dirty things, I have never been afraid, not to mention a side door evil that harms people's lives.
The middle-aged woman's face was ugly, she glanced at Meng Yuan, who immediately got up: "This matter has nothing to do with me, I am just negotiating with you on behalf of the little girl, how this little brother is, it depends on him to decide." ”
To put it bluntly, this guy just left me out, Er Mazi was a little angry, he got up and said, "Lao Meng, this is a bit unkind." ”
Originally, with the friendship between the two, it would naturally not be like this, although I was a little surprised, but there was no fear, it seems that between people, sometimes it is still very realistic.
Meng Yuan was silent, he took a sip of tea and stood aside, the middle-aged woman nodded, also drank the tea in front of her, and finally stared at me: "Give you a day to think about it, I will bring someone to pick you up tomorrow night." ”
Then, she left the rooftop without hurrying, and when he left, I sat on the stool, and the boss was unwilling.
"Why, I'm not afraid of fighting with Prince Chen to the death, I'm still afraid of her?" I said.
"Alas, you are naturally not afraid of being alone, but our Meng family can't implicate cause and effect again." Meng Yuan raised his head and sighed.
From his gaze, I naturally knew what it meant, and I was relieved at once, and Er Mazi didn't say much.
After returning to the rice warehouse, Er Mazi called me over, pondered for a long time, pulled out an iron box from his room, and took out a rope from it.
"This Bailian Club is not easy to deal with, this rope is called the Three Soul Rope, it is made of special equipment, take it, you can use it." Ermazi said.
In fact, this guy is also a knife-mouthed tofu heart, I smiled, and I didn't say much, it seems that he also supports me and Bailian Society, it seems that a bloody storm is coming.
