Chapter 3: The Evil Spirit in the Yard
"You······ Do you know something? Xu Yang looked at his son, who had been away from home for nearly a year in front of him, he had grown taller, and he was still a little short of 1.8 meters, and it was effortless to look at him.
"I have ······ what I should know and what I shouldn't know" Xu Xuyang spoke slowly, he observed Xu Yang's expression as he spoke, looking at his frowning brows, as if he could get a trace of pleasure.
Before Xu Xuyang finished speaking, Hu Li, who was sitting on the side, put down the tableware, got up and said, "What did your father and son say about going to the study to talk about, arguing in the restaurant, which affected my appetite." ”
Hu Li is just like her name, so beautiful that she is like a fox fairy walking out of the mountains, the years have not left any traces on her face, and she can't see that she is a mother of two children at all, her beauty is her weapon to fight in the film and television industry, Xu Xuyang looks like her, and it is also because of this that Xu Xuyang can stand out in the worthless art school of beautiful women and handsome guys.
After speaking, Hu Li turned around and went upstairs, but at the moment she turned around, she glanced at Xu Yang lightly, and her interaction with Xu Yang was also noticed by Xu Xuyang, and he could feel that Xu Yang's emotions had calmed down.
"You come with me to the study." Xu Yang and Xu Xuyang's eyes staggered and walked past Xu Xuyang's side.
Xu Xuyang followed behind Xu Yang, the father and son didn't say anything all the way, but when they passed by the backyard, the faint rancid smell outside the window attracted Xu Xuyang's attention, he glanced out, it was just an ordinary plum tree, it didn't seem to find anything unusual, and he looked away and followed Xu Yang to the study.
After he looked away, a girl's figure appeared under the plum blossom tree, she had no entity, only a faint outline, the girl's head did not turn, but her eyeballs followed Xu Xuyang's movement, turning outward to the extreme.
When he came to the study, Xu Yang sat on the office chair and watched Xu Xuyang lie on the rocking chair where he usually rested, shaking his legs like an uncle.
"What do you want to do when you come back this time?" Facing his son who hadn't come home for a long time, Xu Yang didn't greet him, and asked him directly about the purpose of coming back.
Such a question was a bit harsh, Xu Xuyang on the rocking chair pursed his lips, turned his face to the other side to hide his expression, "Isn't your illegitimate son coming back, I'll come back and clean up the room to make room for him, I will give him the identity of the second young master if he needs it, anyway, I don't need it." ”
Xu Yang frowned as if he didn't understand the meaning of his words when he heard Xu Xuyang mention the illegitimate child, and suddenly he thought of that person, Xu Yang's left hand hanging down on his side clenched into a fist, as if to restrain his emotions, and asked, "Where did you hear that?" ”
"You don't care where I hear it." Xu Xuyang got up and walked to the opposite side of Xu Yang, "I'm here to put forward conditions when I go home, you meet my three conditions, and I'll obediently get out of Xu's house." ”
"As long as you meet your three conditions, will you not come back?" Xu Yang leaned back in his chair and asked playfully, changing his previous irritable appearance, this was his true posture, cunning and indifferent, "Which three conditions?" ”
"Without further ado, one, I want a ring made of space spirit stones; Second, I kissed my doll back; Three, I have carried this stone for many years, and I have feelings, and when I withdraw from my family, you will find a way to get the other party to promise to leave this token to me. ”
Xu Xuyang said, holding up three fingers, originally he only had two requests, but seeing Xu Yang's posture made him a little unhappy, and put forward the third request to embarrass him.
"Okay, you go back first, I'll send the ring to your room tomorrow, and I'll contact the Shi family when I leave." Xu Yang agreed without hesitation.
The Xu family has a lot of inventory of space spirit stones, and the baby family, the Shi family of the spirit calling clan who lives in seclusion at another interface has long had the intention of retiring from their relatives, and the token elixir given to them by the Xu family has already been used by them, so they only need to contact that side, and these three conditions are not difficult for Xu Yang.
Xu Xuyang snorted coldly and left the study, at this moment he felt that he was really extra in this home.
When passing by the backyard, Xu Xuyang stopped, maybe he had just started cultivating soul art and didn't notice it, but now, after a year of cultivation, he was particularly sensitive to the existence of souls.
When he came to the plum tree, Xu Xuyang smelled a strong rancid smell, which could not be smelled without cultivating soul arts.
"Spirit Pupil." He closed his eyes. In addition to the Heavenly Soul Dao and the Earth Soul Dao, there are several unclassified soul techniques, these are general soul techniques, which are the most basic and simple soul techniques, which are used to communicate with souls in ordinary ways.
Opening his eyes again, Xu Xuyang saw the girl under the plum blossom tree. "Sure enough."
The girl seemed to notice that Xu Xuyang could see her, and slowly raised her left hand to the back mountain, and kept repeating a sentence: "I'm there, I'm there, I'm there······"
Xu Xuyang scratched his head, ignored the girl and turned around and left.
The girl's head couldn't turn, she could only follow Xu Xuyang with her eyes, and kept saying: "I'm there, I'm there, I'm there······"
Xu Xuyang returned to the room and stuffed himself in the quilt.
"Don't worry about it, I'm leaving soon, and the resentful spirits and evil spirits that appeared in the Xu family have nothing to do with me!" As he spoke, he threw the pillow out, and the pillow turned to the shelf next to it, and the figure on the shelf was crumbling.
Xu Xuyang immediately ran over to help them up, and looked at the model of "The Strongest Six" on the shelf, he sighed, "Tsk, it's really cowardly." ”
In the evening, the yin qi gradually increased, Xu Xuyang came to the backyard with tools on his back, and he didn't need to use the spirit pupil to see the girl clearly, the girl still kept pointing to the back mountain in the afternoon, and muttered in her mouth.
Xu Xuyang looked at the girl in front of him, he didn't look carefully in the afternoon, and now he found that this person was a little familiar, he seemed to have seen it somewhere, there was a tear mole under the girl's left eye, Xu Xuyang stared at this tear mole and shook his head unconsciously.
"Lead the way." Xu Xuyang said softly to the girl.
In mid-air, Qi Yun had been observing Xu Xuyang's behavior, "Idiot. ”
The girl slowly lowered her arms and took a mechanical step, leading the way like a marionette.
Xu Xuyang looked at the back with some doubts, the resentful spirit was able to conjure her legs to prove that she should have existed for a long time, and she had a certain amount of cultivation, but the performance of this girl Mu Ne was like a newborn resentful spirit.
The back mountain is the forbidden place of the Xu family, and the head of the family, Mr. Xu, has issued a ban, and no one can enter the back mountain.
When he was a child, Xu Xuyang still wondered why he didn't sell the backer of Huajing Mingyuan, that mountain forest was so abandoned and not developed.
"Heh, there is such a hidden path." Xu Xuyang followed the girl to the back mountain, there were many guards at the entrance of the back mountain, he didn't expect this resentful spirit to know how to avoid the guards' hidden entrance.
The deeper into the woods, the stronger the rancid smell became, and after walking for about a quarter of an hour, the girl stopped beside a large banyan tree.
Xu Xuyang followed her gaze and found that there was a corpse under the banyan tree that was squeezed and entangled by the banyan tree.
Up close, the corpse was in a strange posture, with one hand in its mouth, as if it was about to take something out of it, and the other hand holding a rusty knife through its chest, which showed that it was at least twenty years old.
"Well, the death is so miserable, I should have been pierced through the chest with a sharp weapon first, and then thrown away." Xu Xuyang approached and observed the corpse, "Yes, Master?" ”
Turning around to look around, he found that Qiyun did not appear, and scratched his head, "This old monster is gone again." ”
Put on gloves, pull out the dagger tied to his waist, and carefully dig out the corpse from the root of the banyan tree.
"According to the rules, I will fulfill a reasonable request of you before purifying you, say, what is your last wish?" Xu Xuyang dug up the corpse, rubbed his shoulders, and came to the girl and asked.
The Evil Breaker is an ancient and mysterious profession, and the requirements for cultivating soul art are higher than those for cultivating spiritual arts, and there are very few people who know soul magic, so almost no one knows about the existence of evil breakers in modern times.
After death, the soul of a person is a white spirit, which will slowly dissipate by itself, but if the resentment is deep before death, it will become a resentful spirit with a dark blue color, and the resentful spirit cannot be directly dispelled, and the resentment needs to be purified by the evil breaker before dissipating, if it is directly dispelled, it will cause the resentment to remain in the world and be absorbed and deteriorated by other resentful spirits.
In order to minimize the resentment of the spirits, the Evil Breaker will fulfill a reasonable wish of the spirits before dispelling them.
The girl looked at Xu Xuyang with a wooden face, as if she couldn't understand his words, but she still responded and ran to the corpse, squatting down and watching motionlessly.
Xu Xuyang was a little unsure of what she meant, but he had encountered a similar situation, "Then how about I help you build a grave?" ”
The squatting girl looked up at him with difficulty, and blinked twice, because her eyelids could not be closed, and it looked very strange.
"Then I'll take you as a promise." Xu Xuyang took out the shovel parts from his bag and assembled them, found a suitable place nearby and began to dig a pit, because of the blessing of the soul factor, he dug a pit in a few minutes.
In order to prevent the corpse from falling apart, it was wrapped in a piece of cloth, buried in a pit of earth, and a stone slab of suitable size was found from the other side of the banyan tree and stood on top of it.
"What's your name?" Turning back to ask the girl who had been squatting and staring at him, looking at her wooden face, Xu Xuyang knew that he had asked this question in vain.
"I've buried you well, you can go with confidence." The grave is simple, just a mound of earth and a wordless stone tablet.
Xu Xuyang came to the girl, took out the metal powder in his pocket, and used soul magic to draw the golden inscription on his left hand, close to the girl's forehead, "Soul ascension technique." ”
I saw that the girl's body gradually faded in color, and after half a minute, it turned into a few blue glooms and dissipated.
"There is no resentment left, I should help her fulfill her wish." Xu Xuyang was a little unsure, feeling that it was a blind cat that met a dead mouse.
Packing up his tools and returning the way he came, he glanced back at the banyan tree before leaving, wondering why he felt that the rancid smell around the banyan tree was stronger.
When I returned to my room, it was nearly ten o'clock, and after washing up, I lay down in bed and went to bed early.
The electronic clock at the head of the bed shone with a faint blue light, and when the number was displayed as "11:59", the bed shook, and everything around it faded color, and particles of different shades of color appeared on the walls.
The door was gently pushed open and shut, and there was no physical person who came.
Xu Xuyang was lying on his side, and the mattress behind him was recessed in two pieces, and the size of these two areas was the same size as the soles of an adult woman's feet.
Xu Xuyang seemed to sense something and wanted to open his eyes, but a pair of cold hands pressed his eyes, the bed began to dissolve, and his body actually sank in.
Where is this?
Xu Xuyang felt as if he was trapped in the stone pillar and couldn't move.
Hands are tied above the head.
It was very narrow, and with every breath he felt his chest squeezed, and his lungs felt like they were being covered, which was very uncomfortable.
The only thing that could move was his fingers, scratching at the inner wall, which he found was not as hard as he had imagined, and scratching his fingers could pick out a little crumbs.
"Broken!" The palm of the hand is pressed against the inner wall, and it is difficult to say the simplified words.
Cracks appeared on the inner walls, but the light did not penetrate through the cracks, and the water overflowed from the cracks.
The water rushed, rushing out of a palm-sized hole, and the speed of the water rushing in faster and faster.
No, I'll drown if I keep going like this!
Calm down! Think back to how I got stuck in this "tube".
I was sleeping before and then ...... By the way, I'm sleeping, so now I'm trapped in a dream!
The water was rushing so fast that it was already past his jaw.
Wake me up!
Xu Xuyang tried to open his eyes, but some invisible force stopped him, and his eyelids were as heavy as if they had been filled with lead.
It's time to wake up! I don't have time to dream! I still have important things to do!
He changed his approach and began to engage in constant autosuggestion.
……
"Cuckoo-cuckoo-" The cuckoo called softly, and the sunlight passed through the trees, spilled from between the leaves, and hit Xu Xuyang's face, slowly opening his eyes.
"Ahh As soon as he turned around, he found a corpse lying beside him.
