Chapter 226: The Deadline Is Approaching

(Off-picture)

Lin Chen's mobile phone rang, he glanced at the caller ID, signaled to everyone, stood up, and walked straight to the door of the bookstore.

The call was from an unfamiliar number.

"Hey! Hey, hey! ”

No one spoke on the other side of the phone for a long time, and Lin Chen suddenly realized something, and his scalp tingled. As expected, there was a strange sound of "hiss-la-la" on the phone.

At the door of the bookstore, there was a constant flow of people, and no one noticed Lin Chen's distorted and pale face in the corner.

No one spoke on the phone, and Lin Chen was about to hang up, when suddenly there was a creepy woman's shrill laughter. The voice was very thin, giving people a sense of dissociation and fluctuation. Hearing this, Lin Chen couldn't help but get goosebumps.

"You've been here several times for this kind of inexplicable call! Who are you? What the hell are you trying to say to me? ”

Lin Chen mustered up the courage to ask this sentence, but did not get a reply, and there was no sound on the phone as always, and finally a blind voice of "dood" came.

Lin Chen moved back to the rest tea house of the bookstore with mixed feelings.

"Whose phone number?" The fat man asked.

"It's still that inexplicable call, no one speaks, only a sharp and strange laugh!"

Lin Chen paused, took out his mobile phone from his coat pocket, and looked at the strange number on the bright screen in a daze.

Several people looked at each other, but it was the Taoist priest who broke the silence. He took the phone from Lin Chen's hand and looked at it, lowered his head and thought for a moment, "This should just be a random number, you don't have to study it, it doesn't make any sense!" The Taoist priest said.

"However, I have answered this kind of inexplicable call several times! What exactly is she going to do? ”

"Remind you!"

Lin Chen's eyes widened in astonishment, "Remind me? What remind me? ”

"Remind you, she didn't forget you!" The Taoist priest handed the phone back, and his voice was a few degrees lower, "Don't you understand?" ”

Seeing that the Taoist priest was selling Guanzi again, Ye Jiangchuan couldn't wait, and said bluntly: "Daoist, just say it!" ”

The Taoist priest's face was slightly dark, he just stared straight at Lin Chen like that, stroked his gray beard, and shook his head, "I can't say this!" ”

Lin Chen was stunned, he seemed to understand something, the Taoist priest couldn't say it, it was obvious that the Taoist priest didn't want to say it! Words that you don't want to say are often not a good thing. The Taoist priest's seemingly ordinary words made Lin Chen's heart even more frightened, and after a moment of silence, Lin Chen nervously whispered, "Daoist, she's reminding me that I'm in a catastrophe, right?" ”

The Taoist priest's dust was raised, and he didn't look at Lin Chen, muttering in his mouth, "Look at the mountain is the mountain..."

The fat man closed the book he was reading at random, and received, "Look at the water is water, look at a turtle king holding thick legs!" He turned his head to Lin Chen and said, "It's still the same sentence, the Taoist means that you think it is, that is!" ”

Xu Aqi, who had been silent, blinked at this time, frowned, and looked confused, "What do you guys mean?" What's going on? ”

The fat man pretended to smile easily, and replied for Lin Chen: "It's not interesting, it's just that someone is reminding us not to be too complacent, the deadline is approaching, let's fart!" ”

Ye Jiangchuan couldn't listen to it, and hurriedly retorted.

"Fatty, don't talk nonsense there, okay! It turned out to be just a false alarm! This kind of inexplicable call, I also took it, nothing! Someone is always playing a prank! Fatty, don't scare other girls! Lin Chenji people have their own natural appearance, and everyone will be fine! ”

"I also hope Lin Chen is okay!" The fat man smiled at Lin Chen flatteringly, "Just a little joke, don't be angry!" ”

"What am I mad at you?" Lin Chen thoughtfully held his chin with one hand, turned his head and continued to the Taoist priest: "Daoist elder, just now you said that this second young grandmother Ding Shujiao said something after learning about the death of the eldest lady, her words are very incomprehensible! ”

She said something

Huh? I didn't pay attention! The fat man asked.

"She said she wanted the big lady's hair! She was very interested in the hair of the eldest lady who had drowned in the river! You think, Mrs. Mine told her that the eldest lady was buried in a mass grave in the suburbs, and it stands to reason that ordinary people will express some sadness, even if the eldest lady treats her badly and she is not sad, she can talk about this person or something! But what intrigued her was the hair of the eldest lady, and she actually wanted the hair of a dead and buried person! Isn't the psychology very perverted! Lin Chen said, his brows furrowed, as if he remembered something, his expression instantly froze, and he let out a low exclamation: "Oh my God! ”

Hearing this, several people present seemed to realize something at the same time, you look at me, I look at you, they are all shocked.

"Hair! Head: Lin Chen, that's right! Weird black hair that appears frequently! In the well at the head of the village, the black hair blocked our exit and also entangled. Entangle me, in Lao Mokou! Ye Jiangchuan was so nervous that he was incoherent.

"In the talent market, it has also appeared!" Lin Chen said.

"The brunette also appeared in the midnight water glass!" Xu Aqi's voice was soft, but it was difficult to hide the panic in her heart, she looked at Lin Chen nervously, Lin Chen stretched out her hand and held her hand tightly in her palm, "Don't be afraid!" ”

Ye Jiangchuan said: "Also, I remember that the second young grandmother also went to Zhao Sanjian's shop to make a black caftan and yellow narrow pants, you remember!" The outfit of this terrible woman in black we encountered happened to match it, and at that time, Lin Chen said that this second young grandmother was probably a woman in black! ”

"Well, the appearance of black hair confirms this once again!" The fat man said.

"Also, Daoist Lord, you just talked about what she wore when she went out! Say it again! Lin Chen said.

"Plain clothes?" The Taoist priest said.

"That's not right! Is it further back, what is she wearing? ”

"This little mirror gave me the message of a dark green cheongsam and a pair of embroidered shoes with strange patterns."

"That's right! Embroidered shoes are an ancient handicraft that has been handed down to this day and is not worn by many people, that is, there are very few women who wear them today. So, the flower shoes that Xu Aqi and I picked up on the mountain of Yunfu Temple should be one of these pairs, right? ”

"Huh? Do you still have such a one? ”

"That's right! Could the owner of this shoe be this second young grandmother! ”

"yes, very likely!"

"Sure enough, she was following me! Follow us, Daoist Master, Xu Aqi and I saw a woman in black burning paper in the forest on the mountain behind Yunfu Temple that day, and she disappeared again in an instant! We also seem to have encountered ghosts hitting the wall, always going around in one place! I think it must be because of the woman! ”

The fat man said lightly: "It's not just following you, I think she's also following me!" ”

"And me!" Ye Jiangchuan said.

The fat man grabbed the Taoist priest's arm, "Dao Chief, what should I do?" ”

Lin Chen patted the fat man and shook his head slowly, "This woman is possessed by evil spirits, and it is very difficult to deal with!" If the Taoist can deal with her, he will not disappear every time she comes, don't be embarrassed! ”

"This evil spirit is extraordinary, it's really powerful!" The Taoist priest sighed.

The voices of several people echoed in Xu Aqi's mind, and she remained silent, her delicate face was full of exhaustion, and there was a trace of confusion and trance. She was always afraid that she would see something she shouldn't see, a man with yellow hair, or an old lady who disappeared into the outer wall of the building with a child, she simply closed her eyes, and when she closed her eyes, it was darkness, darkness was where the horror was, she could hear her heartbeat, she seemed to see herself in the middle of the road, in a pool of blood.

"Hey, you're alright!"

Lin Chen stabbed Xu Aqi.

"It's fine!"

Xu Aqi opened his eyes and rubbed his nose with the back of his hand, "I think, the evil spirit will follow me as well!" Otherwise, I wouldn't have seen myself in a pool of blood! ”

To yourself in a pool of blood!

Xu Aqi's words reminded the Taoist priest, and he looked at Xu Aqi in a daze, his brows frowning more and more.

"Dao Chief!" Lin Chen said, "What happened behind the story, you can continue to tell!" ”

The Taoist priest didn't speak, as if he gave Lin Chen a look, got up and walked outside the store.

"This Taoist priest isn't going to slip away again, is he? Or go to the bathroom? I'll check it out! Lin Chen said, blinking his eyes inexplicably and following out.

Out of the bookstore, walked a short distance to the left, turned a corner, and Lin Chen caught up with the Taoist priest.

"Dao Chief, why did you come out while talking well?"

"Hmm!" The Taoist priest paused, "It's inconvenient to talk inside!" I just found that Miss Xu's gaze was wandering, dazed and unfocused, the hall was dark, the sky was collapsing, and the color was white and dry, I'm afraid..."

"Dao Chief, just say it!"

Lin Chen's heart rose to his throat.

"I'm afraid she's nearing the end of the day!"

"Huh?"

Although the fortune teller of Yunfu Temple had already predicted beforehand, the words of the Taoist priest in front of him still startled Lin Chen, like silk pulled out of a spider's belly, coiling around his heart, making him panic.

"The deadline is coming? She's still young! Lin Chen shook his head in a panic, "No! Dao Chief, it won't be so cruel! ”

"This is a fate, not a human doing!" The Taoist priest sighed regretfully.

"I remember that the fortune teller of Yunfukuji Temple said that she still has three years to live! How can it be so fast? Lin Chen's face turned pale and said timidly.

"I can't say the exact time! I'm just reminding you to be very careful! ”

Lin Chen cried with a sad face, frowned and said, "It's easy to say!" Dao Chief, it's not like you don't know, we are all **mortals, mortals of flesh and blood! How careful do you want us to be! If it is fate, people can't fight the sky! If it is an evil spirit, even the Taoist who is cultivating in the body must be avoided by you, and we are her opponents! ”

The Taoist priest pondered for a moment and said softly: "I can know that Miss Xu's life is also caused by evil spirits, and there is still a way!" ”

Hearing the Taoist priest say that there was still a way, Lin Chen was so excited that he grabbed the Taoist priest's hand, "I've been looking for you for so long, you finally said this sentence, it's good to have a way!" Saving someone's life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter, Dao Chief, you have to save her no matter what! ”

The Taoist priest patted Lin Chen on the shoulder and said, "Don't make a mistake, it's not me who saved me, I'm not afraid of your jokes, and I can't do anything in front of her!" It is you who have to watch out! ”

"Ourselves?" Lin Chen was a little stunned, and at the same time angry, "Dao Chief, what are you kidding me!" That's the way for you? If we can figure it out ourselves, what else do we come to you for! If you don't help us, not only Xu Aqi, but a few of us will really be saved! You know what! When I believed that the fortune teller of Yunfu Temple was true, and that we were young but only had three years to live, how desperate and unwilling I was! The fortune teller asked us to come to you and say you might be able to find a way! It's like we've seen a lifesaver, we've been looking for you for so long! On the other hand, your solution is to make us careful! It's not a joke, and what! Lin Chen was emotional, and shouted even more hysterically: "Human life is at stake, don't tease us, okay!" No matter how careful we are, we will die! Facing such an evil spirit, it is not a trivial matter! ”

Lin Chen's excited emotions did not have the slightest effect on the Taoist priest, he seemed to have been prepared for a long time, so he smiled calmly and said, "Didn't you say that you have a demon avoidance mirror in your hand!" ”

"Yes! Could it be that a small demon avoidance mirror can allow her to escape a catastrophe? ”

Lin Chen asked, stiffening his neck.

The Taoist priest nodded, "The things of the previous life, when we know everything, I think we should be able to find a way to eliminate such an evil!" The demon avoidance mirror comes from Kunlun Mountain, absorbing the essence of nine thousand years of heaven and earth, and its power is powerful, which can temporarily drive away evil demons, but it must be worn with you, and don't leave her an inch! Otherwise, her life will be over! ”
