In the center of H City, at noon, the sun is high, the whole city is baked like a furnace, and the people on the street are in a hurry, like ants on a hot pot, busy non-stop.

At this time, at the door of the "Victory Community", there was a young man, walking slowly with light steps, the scorching sun stretched his shadow for a long time, he looked at the ordinary community in front of him, and a faint smile appeared on his face.

18-year-old Ye Fan is a good-looking boy, if it weren't for the master's request, he would still be accompanying Sanqing and the master in the Taoist temple of Yunlong Mountain at this time, living a peaceful practice day after day.

When Lao Dao was going down the mountain, he gave him a note with an address on it and asked him to find someone, and he followed the address to find a place called "Late Night Coffee Shop", and in a daze, he became a small follower of the store manager Wu Qing, and followed the store manager to learn to catch ghosts.

Today, a netizen found the "late-night coffee shop" from the Internet, saying that his daughter was ghosted and hoped to help him, and the store manager gave him this task because he had something to do temporarily and went far away, which was also the first time in his ghost catching career, and he couldn't help but be a little nervous and a little excited.

The summer wind carried a hint of heat, and far away, he saw a middle-aged man about 30 years old, walking around the gate of the community, his face full of anxiety.

"Hello, I'm from a late-night coffee shop, are you asking for help?" Ye Fan stepped forward and said, the coffee shop is their code, after all, I can't see everyone and say that I am an expert in catching ghosts, otherwise I will be regarded as mentally ill.

The man was obviously stunned when he saw Ye Fan, but when he heard the "late-night coffee shop", his face immediately showed joy, but then he found that Ye Fan was so young, and he couldn't help but be a little suspicious, "You are Master Ye?" ”

Ye Fan saw what Jiang Tao was thinking, and said lightly, "Of course, if you don't believe me, I can go back." ”

"No, no, no, I didn't mean that, master, you misunderstood, master, please," Jiang Tao hurriedly grabbed Ye Fan and apologized again and again.

Ye Fan saw Jiang Tao from a long distance, there was a circle of lifeless qi on his body, but it was blocked by a light, which made him very strange, as if something was protecting him.

The death qi on Jiang Tao's body was very strong, but it was not a threat for the time being, but on Jiang Tao's left cheek, there was an obvious "Soul Devouring Mark", which looked like it had just been planted, which made Ye Fan hesitate a little in his heart.

The "Soul Eater Seal" is the mark of the evil ghost planted on the human body, and this evil ghost has a lot of Taoism, no matter where you go to the ends of the earth, you can find you.

"I didn't expect to run into an evil ghost," Ye Fan thought to himself, he turned to point to Jiang Tao's left cheek and said, "You have been planted by the evil ghost here, and the situation is very bad. ”

Jiang Tao's face changed drastically, he remembered that when he went downstairs, his daughter suddenly kissed him on the left cheek, like a mosquito bite, but there were no wounds and packets or anything like that, he didn't care, thinking of this, he stepped forward, grabbed Ye Fan's arm, and begged bitterly, "Master, you said yes, when I went downstairs just now, my daughter kissed me on the left cheek, it must have been planted at that time, you must help me and save my daughter." ”

At this moment, Ye Fan was thinking about another thing, judging from the current situation, this ghost obviously had his own consciousness, which was different from ordinary ghost remnants, with his current Taoism, he couldn't help but want to retreat.

"I'm sorry, sir, I'm afraid this ghost you encountered has a big background, I can't deal with it, you better ask another master." After Ye Fan finished speaking, he pushed Jiang Tao's hand away, turned around and prepared to leave, he sensed the unusualness of this ghost from the "Soul Devouring Seal", and the shopkeeper was not here now, with his ability, it was better to deal with this evil ghost, or it was better to go first.

Jiang Tao also invited some Taoist priests, monks and the like before, but they were all fake, this time he finally met a real master, how could he be willing to let go, he lowered his voice, and broke out in a cold sweat under the scorching sun, "Master, listen to me, as long as you help me solve this evil ghost, I will pay you another 10,000, no, 100,000, what do you think?" ”

Ye Fan heard 100,000 yuan, and suddenly felt happy, when he was on the mountain, he couldn't eat enough and didn't warm up, so after going down the mountain, the money was very rare, but unfortunately the accounts were all in the shopkeeper's place, he only had 700 yuan of hard work every month, if he could succeed this time, then he would have 100,000 pocket money, and when the time came, he would catch a fart ghost and find a place to go freely.

He stopped and coughed slightly, "There is a way to save people's lives and build a seventh-level floating slaughter, I will accompany Mr. to take a look first, but the ugly words are ahead, if you encounter an evil ghost that cannot be solved, I will not accompany you." ”

"Yes, yes, yes, master, please," Jiang Tao let go of Ye Fan's hand and led the way in front, "Master, you look so young, where are you practicing?" ”

"Yunlong Mountain, Qixingxuan," this is his master's gym, and it is quite famous in the surrounding area.

"Master, do you know, I have my daughter-in-law at home, and a 7-year-old daughter, but somehow, my daughter has suddenly become very strange these days, whether it is behavior, or speaking, I feel like a different person, and she also said that I am not her father, now I dare not sleep for a day and a night, just sit on the sofa, a stay is a night, I am a night, I am about to become a fifty-year-old."

Speaking of this, Jiang Tao stopped. Ye Fan looked up, this is a 22-story high-rise building, lined up, connected to the next one by a corridor, all the houses are the kind that are transparent from north to south, and the south is a floor-to-ceiling window, which can be seen into the house from the window.

Downstairs was a small playground, presumably a place for children to play, but now empty.

At this moment, it is summer, the sun is high, thirty or forty degrees, but this house gives him a gloomy feeling, there is a circle of black gas on the window of one of the houses on the 16th floor, which is very rich, blocking the sunlight of the entire floor-to-ceiling window, so that even the 17th floor is implicated.

Ye Fan glanced at Jiang Tao, his face was straight, and he said, "Do you live on the 16th floor, it's really eerie, what a powerful demon." ”

"Yes, my house is on the 16th floor, but the master can see something."

Ye Fan continued to look at the 16th floor, the more he looked, the more he felt that something was wrong, there seemed to be something on the 17th floor, but it was connected by the black gas of the 16th, and if he didn't look carefully, he thought it was the dead air of the 16th floor.

The jade pendant on his neck suddenly had some heat, this is what he has been hanging around his neck since he can remember, according to the master, when he picked him up, he took this jade pendant with him, and over the years, whenever he encountered danger, the jade pendant would be hot.

Ye Fan was thoughtful, and he said with a straight face, "What has happened upstairs in your house in the past few days?" ”

Jiang Tao heard Ye Fan's question, lowered his head and thought about it, he has been paying attention to his own family's affairs in the past few days, but he doesn't care about other people's homes, he only remembers that when he went downstairs from the elevator a few days ago, he met the couple upstairs, and pushed their old man downstairs, but the old man was covered with a blanket, and the foot that went to hug him outside was not wearing shoes, he felt very strange at the time, he was still covered with a blanket on this hot day, but because of his own family, he didn't care too much.

At this time, a middle-aged woman came down from the stairs and passed by Jiang Tao's side, Jiang Tao hurriedly stopped the man and asked, "Sister, do you know what happened to the family on the 17th floor?" ”

The eldest sister's face was not very good-looking, she glanced at Jiang Tao, and said complainingly, "Don't mention it, the old man of that family died 6 days ago, and he actually died at home, and I don't know how to send it to the hospital, it's really unlucky, I live next to his house." After speaking, the eldest sister hurriedly left.

"No,"

Ye Fan said secretly, he was really afraid of something, he took a step forward, found a place with the sunniest sunshine, and took out a palm-sized compass, the compass was given to him by the shopkeeper, and it was made of small leaf rosewood, which was a good magic weapon that could drive away evil spirits and avoid evil. At this moment, he dragged the compass alone, followed the sunlight, and refracted to the 17th floor, and in the middle of the 16th and 17th floors, he saw a trace of red ghost energy mixed in it, and his face changed drastically.

It turned out that the rich death qi of 16 did not cover the 17th floor, but the death qi of the 17th floor itself blocked the sun, and that trace of red ghost qi made him very uneasy in his heart.

Ye Fan didn't look at Jiang Tao either, and said directly, "This old man on the 17th floor is not as simple as simply passing away, today is the first seven, it is the day to return to the soul, he will definitely come back to get his shoes, fortunately, line up on Huangquan Road, we have more than one thing is better than less thing, you follow me closely, don't get in the way of the old man." ”

Jiang Tao didn't understand Ye Fan's words very well, he looked at the building of his house, and then looked upstairs, and saw nothing, but looking at Ye Fan's solemn expression, he also realized the seriousness of the matter.

After swiping the card, I entered a small corridor in the building, which was a long corridor, about ten meters long, with white tiles pasted on both sides, and a light overhead.

The moment he entered the corridor, a cool air came to his face, and at first Ye Fan thought that the air conditioner was turned on in this building.

Walking through the corridor, on the right side of the end is the elevator, it is the kind of one ladder and two households, the side of the elevator is convenient for the stairs, after Jiang Tao came in, he hurriedly pressed the elevator, the elevator was on the 17th floor, and it soon went down.

Ye Fanben followed behind him, patted him on the shoulder, and waited for Jiang Tao to turn around before saying, "If you don't want to die, it's best to take the stairs." ”

Jiang Tao looked embarrassed, "Master, if you take the stairs, my house is on the 16th floor, so when will it go?" ”

Bite....

At this time, the elevators opened, Jiang Tao habitually wanted to go in, but after the elevator door opened, a cold air suddenly came out from inside, Jiang Tao saw a real hell, countless little ghosts on the elevator wall grabbed him with teeth and claws, ghosts and fog, and at the front of the elevator door, there was an old man with a lantern full of life, this old man was not wearing shoes, and was looking at them with a blank face.
