Chapter 13: The Conjuring
Xu Xuyang squatted down and scraped the waterproof tape on the water pipe, and the cracks the thickness of the silver needle were exposed, and the water on the ground leaked from here.
"Take a closer look at this."
From Lu Jingsheng's perspective, he could see that the crack was filled with faint black smoke, and when he squinted closely, he found that the bottom of the crack was purple-black, and it was the same purple-black as the deceased's lips.
"Xu Hum helped me prepare four portions of food, preferably hot, and the relics of the deceased, including Liu Yinyin's."
"Don't call me Xu Hum!" The elders call him like this, Lu Jingsheng doesn't care, but it will make him feel ashamed to be called like this by his peers, to put it bluntly, he still thinks the name is too stupid.
"Do you make me an errand? At most, I'll help you collect their relics, and you can figure out your own food and gather at my house later. ”
Looking at Lu Jingsheng who turned to leave, Xu Xuyang shrugged his shoulders, this food is not easy to find, and the old alley is closed to the storefront, so he can only go back to find Old Man Chen.
When Xu Xuyang returned to the summer pavilion, Grandpa Chen was lying on the table and taking a nap with his eyes closed, his breathing was short but weak, as if he would stop at any time.
Using the spirit pupil, as Lu Jingsheng said, his soul has already gone out of his body, but the degree is more serious, three-quarters of it has been separated from the body, it is dark blue, and it has the potential to transform into a resentful spirit.
"Drink—" Xu Xuyang sighed, feeling that he had one more task.
Putting the ticket on the table and gently tapping the table, Grandpa Chen didn't react, walked to Grandpa Chen's side and whispered in his ear to wake him up.
"Ahh
Xu Xuyang didn't expect that when he approached the threshold, the soul on Grandpa Chen's head suddenly shouted loudly, and Grandpa Chen woke up and sat up in a daze.
"Yes, I want to buy a ticket, one, ten yuan per person."
Looking at his reaction, Xu Xuyang frowned, Grandpa Chen's obsession was deeper than he imagined.
"Grandpa Chen, the ticket has been put on the table."
"Oh, oh." Grandpa Chen nodded twice, his head hung down again, and he was about to lie on the table.
"Wait a minute, Grandpa Chen, I want to borrow four pairs of chopsticks from you and still need to get some rice, is that okay?" Xu Xuyang immediately explained his intentions.
"Oh, buzzing friends, friends are still there, they haven't eaten yet, and there is still food in the kitchen, you can go and serve it." Grandpa Chen's voice became quieter and quieter, and after he finished speaking, he fell on the table again.
"Thank you, Grandpa Chen."
Xu Xuyang came to the kitchen, put the rice in the pot into four bowls, and took four pairs of chopsticks and put them into the silver ring together.
As soon as he walked out of the summer pavilion, Grandpa Chen's voice came from behind.
"If you run into a buzzing father, help the old man and I remind him that he will come to sing here at night."
"Okay." Xu Xuyang turned around and found that Grandpa Chen was still lying on the table, short and weak breathing.
"Ah, I miss it so much, I'm finally going to see Wangbei, oh! I also want to remind Hum that you don't have to go out to sing tonight, you have to have a good rest. ”
"Let Xu Hum rest? Hasn't it always been his father who sings? Xu Xuyang heard from Grandpa Chen's tone that the old man wanted to talk to him.
"No, no, Hum Niang likes to sing, but she went too early, Wangbei couldn't stand the delirium, she sang in the alley every day, for decades, he couldn't sing when he was old, he raised a son and let his son continue to sing, and his son sang for decades, and he was old, and he raised Buzz, and in recent years, he has been buzzing and singing."
The old man's words were a little messy, but Xu Xuyang caught a little bit from it, Xu Wangbei also adopted a child before Lu Jingsheng!
"Let me tell you, our old alley was originally the most famous scenic spot in Haicheng, and at that time, it was crowded with people, and tourists couldn't find a place to stay at night······"
Grandpa Chen talked about the past of the old alley, Xu Xuyang stood in front of him and listened quietly, his eyes kept looking above Grandpa Chen.
Raise your hand to attract the surrounding creatures and let them surround Grandpa Chen, "Grandpa Chen's story is very interesting, I asked everyone to come and listen." ”
Old Man Chen's mouth that fell on the table did not move, his body could no longer support him to say so many words, and what was talking to Xu Xuyang was the soul floating on his head, and eighty percent of the soul was separated from the body.
Grandpa Chen's soul was very lively, he waved his hands to demonstrate while talking, and after talking for about an hour, he seemed to be tired, closed his mouth and lowered his hands, and smiled towards Xu Xuyang.
"Grandpa Chen is tired, let's have a good rest." Xu Xuyang bowed deeply to Grandpa Chen, turned around and walked next door.
Grandpa Chen's soul quietly watched as he walked farther and farther, and the dark blue soul gradually turned white.
······
The east is blocked, the south is sealed, the west is yin, and the north is spiritual.
Xu Xuyang pasted the Quartet Spirit Talisman in the four corresponding directions in the house, and placed the four bowls of rice neatly in the center of the courtyard.
"You're fast, are you ready?" Lu Jingsheng put Liu Yinyin's notebook, the lipstick of the wine girl, the hat of the migrant worker and the wallet of the neighbor on the left in front of the rice bowl in turn.
"It's almost incense." Xu Xuyang stared and stood in the middle of the four bowls facing north.
"OK, I'll go in and get it." There is no shortage of incense at home, Lu Jingsheng took out the candlestick and incense burner from the room and put them in the corresponding position, he had seen Xu Xuyang do this before, and he still had some impressions.
Xu Xuyang wants to summon spirits, and his and his father's house is actually a murderous house, which is the best place to summon spirits.
"Quartet Yuan Soul, Ninetieth Dao, Conjuring Spirit!"
Spiritualism is the Earth Soul Dao, ranking ninety, and it is at the bottom, so after using the spirit rune, Xu Xuyang adapted and simplified the words and spirits, and he could also directly summon the souls of four people.
Creatures poured in from the north side of the house, turning into a small whirlpool, which divided into four lanes and condensed into palm-sized figures above the relics of the four people, who had no facial features, and whose eyes corresponded to their mouths only hollow hollows.
Except for Liu Yinyin, the other three people were surrounded by a thick black gas, hugging and crying in the same direction, and the direction they were facing was the direction of the bar when Xu Xuyang and they came!
Liu Yinyin clasped her hands on her knees, her head buried in her knees and trembled, and there was a faint black mist around her, which was not as thick as the three of them.
The remnants of the people who were killed could not be completely dissipated and mixed with the living beings, and the appearance of these three people could clearly show that their deaths were directly related to the evil spirits, but Liu Yinyin's appearance was a little strange.
"Have you seen it?" Xu Xuyang asked Liu Yinyin, but the souls of the three people suddenly lost control, screaming and about to rush out, but they were encircled by their relics and could not escape.
Liu Yinyin shook her head tremblingly and did not give any information.
"What do you say about spending a good moon, people are also long-lived, and the mountains and rivers are a few thousand miles of sorrow!" A tactful tone came from behind him, and the voice was very penetrating, scattering the remnants of the four people, and the spirit runes attached to the four sides instantly burned to ashes.
Xu Xuyang turned around and saw that the person who came was the man in the long shirt who had knocked down Lu Jingsheng.
"Daddy!" Lu Jingsheng hugged him excitedly.
Father? Xu Xuyang raised his eyebrows and looked at the man in the long shirt who leaned over and surrounded Lu Jingsheng, he didn't expect this person to be Xu Wangbei, he had been listening to other people's narratives and thought that Xu Wangbei was a strange man in costumes, and the demeanor of this person in front of him was no different from that of a normal person, with a gentle and delicate face, it was difficult to connect him with the madman in the story.
"Buzz is not afraid." Xu Wangbei patted Lu Jingsheng's back, and after Lu Jingsheng's mood stabilized, he looked up at Xu Xuyang and said softly, "Come in first." ”
When he arrived in the room, he looked at the father and son Xu Xuyang who couldn't finish talking.
It is not so much that the father and son are communicating, but that Lu Jingsheng keeps talking about his experience alone, and Xu Wangbei just looks at him gently and responds from time to time.
Through their conversation, Xu Xuyang discovered that although Lu Jingsheng could see ghosts, he was also more timid than he imagined.
He had also seen the evil spirit in the bar before, but he was scared and didn't show it to his face, and hurriedly pulled Xu Xuyang to the house, on the one hand, he didn't want to change his original plan, and on the other hand, he was really afraid, so he could calm down in this home.
Lu Jingsheng not only talked about this, but also talked about what happened to him in the Lu family, and he chattered.
Xu Xuyang felt that Lu Jingsheng's painting style became very strange after he met Xu Wangbei, if Lu Jingsheng was originally a young master who was educated by his family as a gentleman but hung on his son, then now he is a child who is excited when he gets a trace of attention from his father.
But he knew that the premise of all this was his family's doting on Lu Jingsheng.
Thinking like this, Xu Xuyang felt sour in his heart.
Is this jealousy? Cut!
Xu Xuyang lowered his eyes, he and Lu Jingsheng's family are really two extremes, on the one hand, he drove his son out of the family for his own powerful position, and on the other hand, he was eager to hand the best things to his son.
"Dad, he's my friend Xu Xuyang, you can call him Xiaoqi."
Hearing Lu Jingsheng introduce himself, Xu Xuyang came back to his senses and met Xu Wangbei's eyes, which were calm but deep, as if he wanted to suck people in.
"Hello uncle." It's supposed to be an uncle, right?
"Well, hello." Xu Wangbei responded lightly, smiling at Xu Xuyang, but the corners of his raised mouth touched his face, causing a crack to appear on his chin.
Xu Wangbei moved quickly and opened the folding fan to cover his chin, but he was still seen by Xu Xuyang and Lu Jingsheng.
"I guess the devil's next target will be me." Lu Jingsheng led the topic to himself, just now he had already told Xu Wangbei about what he had encountered in the bar for two months.
Lifting the T-shirt has a black mark on his abs, the mark is shaped like a child's handprint, and there is a blood-red eye in the center of the handprint.
"This mark was seen when I was showering and dressing, and the evil spirit also said that it wanted to eat my eyes."
This mark is invisible to ordinary people, but none of the three people here are ordinary people.
"I also have a rouge box found on the sink, which was given to me by my father, and the cleaner at the bar for two months may also have a relationship with my father, so another reason why I was in a hurry to get out of there was that I didn't want to implicate him."
