Chapter 17: Life is Low (Finally Double Shift, Ask for Recommendation, Ask for Diamonds)
Old man Xia nodded and said: "I suspected it last night, the Bai family is good at the art of paper nightmares, and they are playing puppets, how can they play the ancient bridge ghost trick, this belongs to the branch of the Nanyang head lowering technique, and few people in China know it." So today I went to investigate, and it took trouble for an old friend in Jiangcheng to figure it out. ”
"That Li Hao is the son of Jiangcheng Li Youwei, who runs a big trading company, Li Youwei is not Chinese, he is Malaysian Chinese, he has a friend who is a very famous head lowering master in Malaysia, Li Hao's ancient bridge ghost trick must be passed down by the head lowering master, and has nothing to do with the Bai family."
"That's not right." After Old Man Xia finished speaking, I immediately found the loophole in his words, "How does he, a Malaysian Chinese, know about the old man's bones?" ”
"Each circle has the secret of each circle, there are many people who know the old bones in the supernatural circle and the feng shui circle, and I haven't finished speaking, although Li Hao is not from the Bai family, but Xu Dewei is, I have also checked his details, it is the person who stayed in Xin'an from the Bai family 20 years ago, and the direct relatives of the Bai family are distant relatives."
Li Hao has nothing to do with the Bai family, this news just made me happy, and Old Man Xia's next words immediately trampled on it. I said angrily: "Speaking of which, it doesn't have anything to do with the Bai family. ”
"But at least at present, the people of the Bai family don't know yet, but I haven't figured out why Xu Dewei will hide the news of the old bones and cooperate with Li Hao, which is also what I'm worried about, what I'm most afraid of is that Li Hao and the head descending master in Nanyang have found a way to fuse the old bones without the mark of the previous host."
Old man Xia's words also cast a shadow on my heart, although it has only been two or three days since the fusion with the old man's bones, but I like the little guy in the unicorn diagram more and more, the most important thing is that I want to forcibly peel off the old man's bones now, and I will definitely die. Thinking of these, my mood became irritable, and I even had the urge to kill Li Hao and Xu Dewei immediately.
It seemed that he felt the murderous aura on me, and Old Man Xia's eyes became uncertain. This emotion was fleeting, and after it disappeared, I was dazed and wanted to grasp the tyranny that had just flashed, and I didn't understand why I suddenly had such thoughts.
At this time, Old Man Xia sighed and said, "Don't think about it so much for the time being, it's a good thing that the Bai family didn't move, Li Hao's natal bridge ghost last night has been injured by me, and he can't set off the wind and waves in a short time, and when your bone spirit reaches the town stage, you don't have to be too afraid of him." Let's go to Yangjiapo first, that ghost should be taken away after 20 years. ”
I heard what he said and asked him what he meant. Old man Xia looked at me like a fool and said, "Don't you understand?" The ghost of Yang Jiapo is specially reserved for you by Yanzi, swallow her, and your bone spirit can enter the town period. ”
I looked at Old Man Xia in amazement, the murder case has been at least 21 years since now, Wei Yanzi came to Xin'an 20 years ago, and in the same year, someone from a master took action to suppress the evil ghosts of Yang Jiapo.
Obviously, Wei Yanzi was the master of Xin'an at that time, and I couldn't imagine that Wei Yanzi was also related to Yang Jiapo, no wonder Old Man Xia asked me to come to Qingjiang Park tonight. In order to let the bone spirit grow quickly to the town period, he actually laid out the game 20 years ago, this Wei Yanzi is so big. Even though I tried to calm my emotions, I couldn't hide the shock in my heart.
At this time, Old Man Xia told me that 20 years ago, Wei Yanzi set up a ghost raising bureau and a trapped dragon array in Yangjiapo, on the one hand, to warm up the newborn evil ghost, and on the other hand, to trap her, not to let her run out to make trouble, 10 years later, let Old Man Xia take the host fused with the old man's bones to devour the evil ghosts and help the bone spirit grow.
Who would have thought that after 10 years, Wei Yanzi did not appear, and the host became a fog in the clouds and no one knew. Coincidentally, a developer from other places took a fancy to the land and inadvertently destroyed the situation left by Wei Yanzi, allowing Li Shuangju to get out of trouble. After Old Man Xia found out, he could only go to Yangjiapo alone.
He originally intended to continue to trap Li Shuangju, but after 10 years of recuperation, Li Shuangju has become a climate, and the formation alone will definitely not be able to trap her, the two fought all night, Li Shuangju's vitality was greatly damaged, and his soul was almost scattered, and Wei Yanzi's plan almost fell short.
In the end, Old Man Xia re-created a ghost-raising formation to allow Li Shuangju to recover from his injuries.
When Old Man Xia talked about this, he seemed to recall the old years, his face showed emotion, the corners of his mouth were smiling, and a trace of tenderness was permeating his eyes.
"Swallow, it was really a peerless generation back then, 20 years have passed in a blink of an eye, but many things are like yesterday."
I didn't expect that there would be such twists and turns in this, it was like listening to a previous story. At the same time, there are also things in Old Man Xia's story that puzzle me, so I asked him suspiciously, "Since you have trapped Li Shuangju who has become a powerful ghost again, why do people say that Yang Jiapo is still haunted after that?" And every year someone dies over there. ”
I thought to myself, could it be that Old Man Xia is not good enough? But his next words made me shake and fall into horror.
He said: "That evil ghost was almost scattered by me, and ordinary ghost raising methods did not have much effect on her, and she could only recover quickly by sucking the essence of a living person." What the swallow gave me, I had to do beautifully. ”
His tone was cold, and it was only when he spoke of the swallow that his tone changed. I took two sharp steps back, pointing at him to speak, but I didn't know what to say.
There was a mess in his mind, and Old Man Xia suddenly became extremely strange at this moment. Although he didn't say it explicitly, a fool could hear it, he injured Li Shuangju and helped her recuperate, he didn't care if Li Shuangju was harmful or scary, and the life or death of other people was far less important than Li Shuangju's recovery.
It reminds me of what happened in Maokou Alley last night, and as soon as I came out of the alley, he followed him. So he must have seen what happened in the alley, but he didn't make a move, if Xiaojie hadn't appeared, he might even have watched me be killed by the evil ghost manipulated by Li Hao, just like his tone just now.
He saved me and helped me, not because of me, what he cared about was the old man's bones, and what he cared about was the task given to him by Wei Yanzi, until now I still can't figure out what the relationship between him and Wei Yanzi is, husband and wife? Lover? Or an admirer? I can't help but wonder if the people who die in Yangjiapo every year are really just Li Shuangju doing it alone.
Old man Xia watched my reaction with interest, I still held on to the last bit of luck, but Old man Xia quickly made me desperate, he said: "All living beings, most of them are mediocre people who have lived most of their lives with one open and one closed, there is no shortage of geniuses in this world, but there are more rice buckets, and some rice buckets are dead to pave the way for some useful people, what's the big deal." You're bothered about this kind of thing. ”
"yes, what's the big deal, should I be glad you put me in the category of useful people?" I looked at him with a twitch in my cheeks, I wished I was angry, but sadly I couldn't be angry.
In my eyes, Li Hao is definitely not a good person, learning heinous evil arts, disregarding the lives of others, just to test the old bones of the old man to kill me without being on me. But what is the difference between the old man Xia in front of him and Li Hao? It's just that one helps me and the other hurts me. In the final analysis, what I hate about Li Hao is more that he touched my interests, rather than that he did anything bad.
Just like before, there were murderers in the United States who were sentenced, and because they were handsome, some girls actually confessed to murderers. But can it be said that these girls are all bad people? If they were the ones who were killed, even if the murderers looked amazing, I believe they would never have the slightest love.
So after Old Man Xia said those words, my emotions were very complicated, his indifference to life made me sick, but thinking that he did not hesitate to sacrifice other people's lives to restore Li Shuangju in order to help me, to investigate Li Hao's details, and to monitor the movements of the Bai family, I felt a trace of pride and pleasure in my heart.
As if guessing the wavering in my heart, the corners of Old Man Xia's mouth turned up, and he showed a smile, saying, "I don't expect you to understand me, in my eyes, I only care about what the swallow gave me." We don't need to be unhappy about what has happened, it's not too early, let's go to Yangjiapo quickly. ”
"What if I don't go?" I said in defiance.
"On your own, the bone spirit will never reach the Zhenzi period, and when Li Hao recovers from his injury, do you think you can deal with him? And the Bai family, they want to know that the bone spirit is with you, can you live? Old man Xia said calmly, not flustered at all because of my words.
I fell silent, and for the first time I strongly hoped that I could become strong, that I would not have to worry about others harming me, that I could make my free choice, and that I would not do anything I was ashamed of.
"The road has been paved for you, you can choose whether to go or not." After the old man Xia finished speaking, he turned on the flashlight and entered the park, I bit my lip and wanted to say that Lao Tzu's road does not need to be paved by you, but in the end I still followed him without any courage.
As soon as I entered the park, I felt that something was wrong, as if there was a barrier separating the park from the outside world, and there was a chill in me on a hot day.
