Chapter 17: The Strange Tales of the Wealthy (Part II)
Chu Mengxi said yes, and then we were idle at home for a while, and at noon, I took Chu Mengxi to the "fragrant dumpling restaurant" outside my house, and after a while, the boss personally brought two plates of dumplings and came over, Chu Mengxi couldn't help but praise when he smelled the fragrance, the boss stood next to us with a smile, and said: "The two of you use it slowly, by the way, Lin Xuan, what about your master, why didn't you see him come over today."
I took a bite of the dumplings and said, "I just went home and didn't see the master, I don't know where I went, there may be something, boss, you will have two more plates of dumplings later." After speaking, I glanced at Chu Mengxi, who was gobbling up on the other side.
When Chu Mengxi heard that there were going to be two more plates, she said vaguely while eating: "Lin... Lin Xuan, I won't eat it, I'll get fat if I eat too much."
"If you're fat, lose weight, it's okay, let's have two more plates." I spoke.
Chu Mengxi glanced at me, looked at me angrily with a dumpling stuffed in his mouth, not to mention how cute it is, the boss smiled and said Okay, after a while, we eliminated all the dumplings, I touched my round belly, paid and walked back with Chu Mengxi, we stayed at home, until it was almost six o'clock in the evening, I went out with Chu Mengxi, I stood on the side of the road, looked at Chu Mengxi and said: "Mengxi, do you have Zhong Ming's mobile phone number, call him, ask him to come here to pick us up, Gotta go to his house."
Chu Mengxi turned his head to look at me and said, "It's only six o'clock, won't it be too early to go now?"
"Let's go over and do some preparatory work first, this is my first time receiving a commission, and I must be foolproof."
"Receiving a commission? Do you really like Uncle Zhong's reward?" Chu Mengxi said suspiciously...
I touched the back of my head in embarrassment, cleared my throat and said, "I'll just say it, you call him first, otherwise it's not a problem for the two of us to stand on the side of the road all the time."
Chu Mengxi frowned, took out her mobile phone, and looked at me with a suspicious expression, I simply turned my head, and after a while, I heard Chu Mengxi speak: "Hey, Uncle Zhong, I'm Chu Mengxi..... Can you pick us up if you have time, I'm here at the bus stop, just where you drove us through, uh-huh.... Good....... Hmm". After hanging up the phone, Chu Mengxi patted me on the shoulder.
I put my hands in my pockets and looked into the distance as if nothing happened, Chu Mengxi patted me again, I came back to my senses, turned my head to look at her and said, "Is Uncle Zhong here, it's so dark this day and it feels like it's about to rain again."
"He told us to wait for him for a while, and he will be there right away"! Chu Mengxi opened his mouth and said...
I nodded, sat on the bench of the bus stop, although it was almost night, but I could clearly see a few gray clouds, I looked at the sky, my heart suddenly tightened, I always felt that something bad was going to happen.
After a while, a black sedan stopped on the opposite side, then turned around in front of it, and stopped in the temporary parking space in front, the window slowly lowered, Zhong Ming poked his head out and shouted to us, "Let's go, get in the car".
I stood up and walked over with Chu Mengxi, and after getting in the car, the car slowly drove away from the parking space and drove towards the Zhong family's villa.
Inside the car, Zhong Ming glanced at the rearview mirror in the car and said, "Little brother, I'll come to my house later, do you need me to do anything?"
I shook my head, looked at Zhong Ming and said, "No, let this little girl next to me help me, you don't have spiritual sense, some things can't be seen, you can leave your house first."
After speaking, Chu Mengxi pointed at himself in surprise and said, "Me? Help? Lin Xuan, are you sure, although you also know about my family's affairs, I haven't learned a little about this, are you sure I won't help?"
I shook my head again, Chu Mengxi was even more stunned at this time, looking at me with a frown, and then I said, "It's okay, you just listen to me later."
Chu Mengxi had no choice but to agree, after a while, the car stopped in front of the villa gate, I pushed the car door, walked down, pushed open the door, as soon as I walked in, there was a wind blowing over, along with some dead leaves and branches on the ground, I covered my face and looked at the sky overhead, at this time I had vaguely seen some lightning in the sky shuttling through the clouds, about ten seconds later, the wind stopped, I frowned and said to Zhong Ming: "Uncle Zhong, you go back to the hotel first, I always feel unsteady, I'm afraid that something will happen to the hotel, just the two of us here, don't worry."
Zhong Ming nodded, hurriedly ran to the car, started the car, and drove towards the hotel, I stood in the aisle, looked at Chu Mengxi next to me and said, "Let's work"! With that, I walked into the villa
Chu Mengxi glanced at me, and followed, I walked around the villa for a while, and looked at the terrain for a while, after confirming it, I took out twenty-eight Five Emperor Coins from my bag, which is a little old, this is still what I stole from my master, and I don't know where he got so many Five Emperor Coins, and then I took out twenty-eight exorcism talismans from my bag, and Chu Mengxi next to me squatted next to me and looked at me suspiciously, and said, "Lin Xuan, are these things useful?"
I laughed and explained: "It must be useful, otherwise what am I doing with it, I plan to arrange a "lock ghost array" taught by my master here, which is specially used to trap the ghosts, it stands to reason that the day is yang, the night is yin, and the ghosts can only be active at night, the ancients divided the entire night sky into twenty-eight star areas when they watched the stars, called "twenty-eight nights", of which each night contains a number of stars, and the "lock ghost array" is to spread twenty-eight five emperor coins around the ghosts, which is equivalent to artificially delineating a fake" Twenty-eight nights", the copper coins count the yang, not to mention the five emperor coins, so this gives the ghost the illusion that the more the "lock ghost array" is one step into the "yang realm", this formation has no harm to the evil ghost, it can only play the role of imprisonment, and the time of imprisonment depends on the strength and IQ of the ghost."
After I finished explaining these in one breath, Chu Mengxi next to me was stunned on the spot, and it took a long time before he clapped his hands and said: "Lin Xuan, you are too powerful, you will arrange this complicated formation, but then again, how can you be sure that there must be powerful ghosts here, and they are not blind, maybe they are looking at us." After Chu Mengxi finished speaking, he hugged his arms and shivered.
I also got goosebumps when she said this, but fortunately, I was quite bold and had a Pisces protection, but I was not very afraid, I looked at Chu Mengxi and said: "Don't scare yourself, I confirmed in the morning, there is indeed a very resentful ghost here, it should be the ghost that pesters Zhong Yan, I have already posted an invisibility charm behind your back when I came in, and I also pasted one, don't worry." With that, I pointed to her back
Chu Mengxi didn't notice it himself, touched his back, and then nodded, and then, I put the five emperor coins and the exorcism talisman together, and put them on the twenty-eight star spots around the villa, and when all the steps were completed, Chu Mengxi and I retreated to the back of the rockery in the courtyard, I made a seal in my hand, put it on my forehead, and shouted in my mouth: "Left Fu Liujia, Right Wei Liuding, the avenue is on the top, lock the ghost array." After speaking, I pointed to the Lock Ghost Array in front of me, only to see twenty-eight golden lights slowly lit up on the formation.
I was overjoyed, I actually succeeded, I took out my mobile phone again, it was almost eight o'clock at this time, because the arrangement of the lock ghost array consumed too much physical strength, I leaned on the back of the rockery, and fell asleep unconsciously.
At this time in the dream, I saw a very strange scene, I stood in a dark space, I couldn't see the things around me at all, I walked in the dark for a while, I stopped, and my heart began to gradually get irritable, I wanted to get out of this place quickly, I just moved on my front feet but suddenly saw a purple light in front of me, I was stunned, and ran wildly towards the light, but I accidentally fell to the ground, when I got up, I saw a face on the dark ground, there was a face with closed eyes printed on the ground, I looked closely, but this face suddenly opened its eyes, the left eye is golden, the right eye is a normal color, I was startled by the sudden opening of the eyes of this face, and retreated wildly, after a few steps back, I obviously felt that my feet were caught, this face stretched out his hands, trying to drag me to the ground, I desperately resisted, broke free of his hands, and ran backwards...
"Ahh I woke up from the dream, gasping for breath, looking around, at this time I was still leaning behind the rockery in the villa, Chu Mengxi heard my voice, turned his head and said, "Do you have a nightmare?"
"Whew.... Have you been guarding here all along?" I breathed a long sigh of relief and spoke.
"Yes, I just saw that you slept well, so I didn't bother you, I watched it, nothing happened."
"It took me too much physical strength to set up the lock ghost array just now, I couldn't support it, so I fell asleep, I'm sorry, aren't you scared to stare alone, what time is it?"
Chu Mengxi was stunned for a moment, and said: "I'm not afraid, there is nothing coming out, and you are next to you, what am I afraid of, you have been sleeping for more than an hour." Chu Mengxi said, and finally compared one with his hand.
I heard that after I slept for more than an hour, I was also stunned, sat up straight, turned my head to look at the direction of the villa, this look really startled me, only to see that there are many ghosts trapped in the lock ghost array in front of me, counting about ten of them, floating around the villa in a daze, I frowned, and said: "It's over, these ghosts have made my lock ghost array visible, this big one hasn't come out yet, and the small one is coming quickly."
I hammered the wall of the rockery in annoyance, Chu Mengxi didn't know how to comfort me, I didn't speak, I looked at the yin in the ghost lock array, after a while, I felt that the air around me dropped several degrees, and the Pisces on my arm obviously sensed something, and began to heat up slightly, my brows furrowed even tighter at this time, staring at the front.
Suddenly! I felt a chill on my back, and turned my head sharply to look, a female ghost in red clothes floated behind me, staring at me and Chu Mengxi all the time, I reacted quickly, took out the remaining ghost exorcism charm from my pocket, clenched it tightly in my hand, and shouted: "Devil, give you a chance, get out of here quickly, otherwise I will let your soul fly."
After speaking, I took the exorcism talisman in my hand in front of me, and looked at the female ghost, the female ghost was stunned, looked at me and said: "This little brother, I just passed by here and stayed for a few days, and it didn't hurt anyone, why do you want to let my soul fly away."
After finishing speaking, I was also stunned, little brother? Where is this, I looked at her suspiciously, cleared my throat, frowned and said in a stiff tone: "My master said, you can't believe the words of the ghost, you are so resentful, you haven't harmed people, if you don't leave, then I will beat you away."
After speaking, I threw out a ghost exorcism talisman, and a golden light suddenly lit up from the exorcism talisman, and the female ghost screamed, floated back for a distance, covered her face with her hand, and shouted: "Little brother, don't make a move, although I am resentful, but I really haven't harmed anyone, you listen to me."
I frowned, stopped moving, looked at the female ghost opposite, and after a while I spoke: "Let's say, the master said that ghosts can be transformed, as long as they are not sinful, my patience is limited."
The female ghost on the opposite side lowered her arm and floated in front of me, I took a few steps back sensitively, and the female ghost stopped and said: "Little brother, I really haven't hurt anyone, I was also framed and died tragically, so the resentment is so heavy, in the past hundred years, I have been trying to restrain my resentment and not let myself be murderous, but I can't control it, and the resentment is still around, resulting in me being chased and killed by the group of guys from the righteous path."
After the female ghost on the other side finished speaking, I also looked at her with an incredible expression, and when I heard her say that she was also framed and killed, my heart was also soft, and I asked, "You said that you have been a ghost for a hundred years?" Who framed you to death?"
The female ghost thought for a while, shook her head and said: "I don't know, I just know that he is an old Taoist priest of the evil sect, in order to achieve the goal of immortality, whenever his life is on the verge of life, he will find a girl in advance when the moon is cloudy, kill them, extract blood to soak the body, absorb the soul power of Yang Shou, I am one of the victims, after being killed by him, I am resentful, and I have thought about revenge, but I can't beat him, I was injured by him and escaped, and I have been looking for opportunities since then, But there is no way to kill him, because I am resentful, and the underworld does not accept me, I have been hiding in the sun, this time I passed by here, and happened to meet this old Taoist priest and wanted to harm the daughter of this family, I just wanted to remind this girl named Zhong Yan, but every time I appeared, she would be scared away, no way, I had to stay by her side all the time, always on the lookout for the old Taoist, if there is a chance, I will definitely kill him with my own hands."
The female ghost gritted her teeth and finished the last word, I nodded, looked at the female ghost and said: "That is to say, you were killed by an old Taoist priest of the evil way a hundred years ago, you were angry and wanted to take revenge, but you were injured, and you have been wandering in the sun, and you just happened to meet the old Taoist priest who committed murder again, you want to stop his atrocity, so remind the family out of kindness, so be it."
The female ghost nodded, and after getting her accurate answer, I also nodded, touched my chin and said: "According to what you say, you are not here to harm people, you are here to protect her, then this old Taoist priest has also lived for hundreds of years, this.... It's not a common sense."
In the end, I even doubted whether my words were sick, but the female ghost gave me an accurate answer: "That's right, he did live for a hundred years, and just now I felt an evil qi flowing nearby, stopped here for a while, and went in that direction." After the female ghost finished speaking, she pointed in the direction.
I looked along the female ghost's arm, thought for a while, suddenly patted my head, and shouted: "Damn, the evil spirit you just said must be that old Taoist, this direction happens to be the direction of the Intercontinental Hotel, it's too late, go quickly."
After speaking, I pulled Chu Mengxi and ran out, and the female ghost behind me was stunned for a moment, and then floated up.
