Chapter 14: Fate Makes a Bet
If you can't discuss it well, then you can only come to the hard one. But it's not that simple. If this female ghost could be dealt with easily, Old Man Chen would not be able to invite her to negotiate before.
When he said this, Old Man Chen's expression was a little complicated, and Wen Tsai looked at me, a little eager to speak. Just by looking at them, you know that there is definitely something, and it is definitely not a good thing.
On this trip, I was already afraid of this look, especially when it was revealed to me, and I instinctively felt that things were not good.
Old man Chen asked Wen Tsai to go out first, Wen Tsai also understood what he meant, looked at me apologetically, and said meaningfully: "You don't have to do what you don't want to do." ”
There's definitely something I need to do. I'm already choking enough to ask the ghost to discuss, I'm a dying person, and the "life-ending" thing hasn't been settled yet, so toss me so much, they're really embarrassed!
Wen Tsai walked out of the room and closed the door, leaving only me and Old Man Chen in the room.
Old man Chen looked at me and sighed apologetically, as if he didn't know how to speak.
"Just tell me what you have." Sighing like this made me extremely uncomfortable, and I was inexplicably a little flustered, as if something big was happening.
"It's not that easy to deal with that ghost." Old man Chen said.
"I know, you said before, if it was simple, you wouldn't have made me hold a straw last night." And then what? I know it's not easy, what is he trying to express?
"If you want to deal with her, you have to get her out first." He continued.
I've already invited it once last night, and it's not a big deal except for being unconsciously exposed to an inexplicable ghost. If I had to ask for it again, I wouldn't have been so stumbling, mother-in-law.
I became more and more suspicious, what is this old man's plan? also deliberately supported Wen Zai. Besides, looking at Wen Zai's appearance, he clearly knew what he was going to say next.
I said directly: "Mr. Chen, I also pointed to you to give me a life, if you need help, you can say it directly, don't beat around the bush, I will make a judgment according to the pros and cons." ”
He still seemed to find it a little difficult to speak, and paused for a while before continuing: "I invited that sneaky girl last night to discuss with her, and since we can't talk about it, invite her again, and she won't come easily." ”
That is, she has such a resolute attitude, she has to take a human life, how can she come over easily, she is not stupid...... Wait, take a human life! Old man Chen didn't say that he must have taken Xiaochao's life! Since she won't come easily, then just ......
I was almost shocked and looked directly at Old Man Chen. He turned his face and sighed, as if he had acquiesced to my conjecture!
I didn't make it clear, but I said meaningfully: "Old man, you have to talk about everything, don't you?" I'm just an ordinary person, and I really don't have a compassionate heart. ”
"If you want to invite that sneaky person again, you can only pretend to agree to her request, the others didn't rush her, she can't take it easily, the child's life is in her hands, if you use the child as an introduction, it is extremely dangerous, of course, if you don't agree, I can't force you, I tell you alone, I just don't want others to put pressure on you."
This old man seems to be quite cultured, and he knows whether pressure is or not. Then he should know that this is a bit too much. I'm going to take my life to lure demons! I'm messing with someone on this trip! Last night's favor was already on Wen Zai's affection, and it was my duty not to help. Besides, now it's time to gamble with my life!
The old man said at the beginning that this matter was tricky, and if he really wasn't an opponent, I would have to go and make the self-combing girl a companion!
"I'll think of something else." With that, he walked out the door.
"If you lure that female ghost here, how sure are you going to deal with her?" I asked.
He stopped: "Seventy percent." ”
"What if I don't help?"
"Forty percent, and the child is very likely to die."
Seventy out of ......
It was getting late, everyone else was sent away, and only me and Old Man Chen were left in the huge house.
Please go out and chase out ghosts at home.
This time, I was so merciful! Of course, I'm not just burning myself to illuminate others. After all, I still have to ask Old Man Chen for help, and I still count on him to give me another life. This time he came only because of Xiaochao and other children who had an accident, I was just incidental, he helped me just like I helped him, helping is love, not helping is duty.
Besides, if he is seriously injured for the sake of the small nest, there is no way to help me. The probability of seventy percent is greater than forty percent, fight!
Old man Chen set up a case table in front of the hall, on which there were some wine, meat and food, as well as magic tools such as divine seals, rattles, and spiritual knives. There was also some unburned incense next to it. I sat cross-legged next to the desk, holding a straw rooster in my arms and a dead rooster tied to my toes. This time the rooster was not bled out, but hanged.
I found out before that Old Man Chen is not using pure Taoism, but this is not unusual, most of the folk Taoist priests like him are a combination of witchcraft and Taoism. It's like the name "Babble". Mur is a common Sanskrit in Buddhist scriptures, because people do not understand Buddhism and Taoism, they call this kind of folk Taoist priest Murmur, strictly speaking, Mur Lao is not a genuine Taoist.
Old man Chen handed me a talisman: "This is a ghost suppression talisman, holding it can ensure that the sneaky can't hurt you." ”
I looked at the rune paper, which was a little old and looked like it had been left for a long time. I questioned, "Does this thing do a big deal?" ”
"This is left by my master, I only have this one, this matter is really sorry for you, I will definitely do my best to keep you safe."
Sounds like a nominal one. I put the rune paper close to my body, and felt a little more at ease.
The sky was completely dark, and Old Man Chen lit the incense candle and shook the rattle.
I watched and listened to all directions, and I couldn't help but be nervous, tonight was different from last night, last night was just a discussion, at most it was not a good talk. If we fail tonight, anything could happen.
Old Man Chen's tricks were also different from last night, in addition to rattling, he also muttered and jumped around.
This time, there was no more confusing feeling like last night, but the surroundings were somehow quiet and abnormal, and the sound of cars in the distance was gone, only the sound of old Chen's hair was left.
I was nervous, and cold sweat broke out on my forehead. What is this Mid-Autumn Festival? If I hadn't come, wouldn't I have had nothing to do? It's hard to buy, you know it!
Cold sweat was dripping on my forehead, and I held the straw rooster, and I didn't dare to raise my hand to wipe it, but cautiously watched the surroundings.
The cold air around me gradually rose, and the cool air swirled back and forth around me. The fog outside the windows and the dim street lights became hazy, and the feeling was vaguely familiar.
