As a matter of course, we stood by and let Zhuang Xingrui do his work.

If you seek a ghost, you must prophesy its name. The most common thing that is used by those who practice witchcraft is to ask ghosts, which means to check ghosts. There are many ways to do this, and they vary from place to place.

Zhuang Xingrui plucked a few dog hairs, came to the table in the room, took out a red cloth from the backpack he carried, spread it on the table, and took out a small bag of heavy things, he grabbed a handful from it, which was white rice with white grains and round grains.

He held the dog hair in one hand and a small handful of rice in the other, closed his eyes, his mouth trembled faintly, and he was silently reciting something.

Everyone held their breath and looked at Zhuang Xingrui quietly, waiting for the results of his divination. The kid surnamed Wei didn't care at all, and didn't look at Zhuang Xingrui at all.

Looking at Xiao Qingwan again, although she doesn't like Zhuang Xingrui, she has always been sure of the other party's ability. Only in this matter of divination and asking ghosts, there is a faint hint of disdain.

As for the old man Ma, he looked like he was watching a good show, as if he had already predicted the next result.

Zhuang Xingrui pondered silently for a while, rubbing the rice in his hand and spilling it on the red cloth. He opened his eyes, looked at the rice grains scattered on the red cloth, and flicked it with his hand a few more times, frowning, his eyes full of doubt.

As if he didn't believe in evil, he grabbed the grain of rice again, closed his eyes and meditated for a while, and sprinkled it again. The doubts in his eyes did not decrease, but became more and more intense.

He grabbed the grain of rice and made a gesture to try it a third time.

"There is something strange about things, it is extraordinary, you are not a person who specializes in divination, and you can't do it." The old man said without being salty.

Zhuang Xingrui glanced at the old man Ma, ignored it, and closed his eyes again.

Old man Ma's words were a kind reminder. Zhuang Xingrui walked down the stairs without interest. The old man Ma was bored with himself, turned his head angrily, no longer looked at Zhuang Xingrui, who didn't know how to lift, and let him toss.

Zhuang Xingrui tried several times in a row, his brows furrowed deeper and deeper, his mind was suspicious, and he finally accepted his fate: "I can't take this ghost!" ”

Huang Wenyang and the others showed a trace of suspicion in their eyes, and said dejectedly: "The two Dao Princes were like this before, just found out that they were banned, but they couldn't find out where the forbidden ghost was." ”

The meaning of the words in his eyes is that he thinks that Zhuang Xingrui's ability is nothing more than that, and he is not much different from those Dao Gong, and even thinks that it is not as good as those two Dao Gong, after all, people have found out that they have been banned, and Zhuang Xingrui is not even a haunted ghost.

Zhuang Xingrui was looked down upon, and he put on a face that was extremely displeased: "How can those ordinary Dao Gong be compared with me!" ”

"Yes, yes," Huang Wenyang replied flatteringly, "but what next?" If you can't take possession of the ghost, won't you be able to find him? ”

Zhuang Xingrui couldn't succeed, lost face, and didn't know what to do for a while.

Xiao Qingwan and Gu Yangyu's abilities are below him, he doesn't know, the two of them have no tricks, and I don't know anything about this ghost thing, and all eyes are focused on the old man Ma for a while.

The old man Ma was still angry: "What are you doing with me? Isn't he very capable? I'm just a bad old man! Nothing to understand! ”

People who don't know still think that the old man is childish, but I know very well that this old man is just a pure grudge and a trick!

"Master, it's almost over, we're still pointing to you for guidance!" I persuaded me with a good voice.

The old man was furious: "What do you mean by almost getting it?" Rise? You kid think I'm being vexatious? Have pity on me for my old bones, all the way here! Recruit whoever messes with whom! ”

After that, he coughed a few times, beat his legs and back, as if he was old and frail, and he couldn't do it.

The kid surnamed Wei glanced at him, and the old man Ma stopped slightly, resolved the embarrassment and coughed, and said, "It's unusual to say that things are wrong earlier, so I don't listen." ”

"How?" I asked.

The old man gave me a blank look: "Do you know how the rumored forbidden ghosts eat their hearts and livers?" ”

Hey? Was this heart and liver eaten? How do you eat this?

"Legend has it that forbidden ghosts like to eat hearts, and at night they will turn into small worms and burrow into the bodies of animals and eat hearts." Xiao Qingwan said.

Old man Ma nodded with satisfaction, looked at Xiao Qingwan with a smile, and his eyes showed a lewd light: "Not bad, the little girl has a future!" It is in this way that in the past legends, there were often livestock in the family who died suddenly, and finally found out that someone was forbidden to the mother and stole food at night. ”

"You mean, the livestock that died in the past half a month were really killed by the forbidden ghosts?" Xiao Qing said in the evening.

"I don't know what it's like to ban ghosts from eating hearts, and I've never seen it, but it's the first time I've heard of eating the hearts and livers of animals on a large scale like this, instead of harming people."

After this string of words, I finally understood what the old man Ma meant: "This incident was very abnormal from the beginning? ”

The old man smiled and was noncommittal.

After a long time, the old man already knew that something was wrong when he heard about it before he came, and after seeing the dead dog, he was even more sure of his conjecture. He wanted to toss Zhuang Xingrui from the beginning.

This old man not only holds grudges, but also has a lot of scheming, and I was put on the scene by him before. In the future, you have to be careful not to fall for his tricks again.

Zhuang Xingrui had a dark face and looked at the old man with hatred, as if he had already written down this hatred.

The old man said: "You can't take it out like this, usually there are only four situations, catastrophe, murder, injustice, and unknowable. ”

When Huang Wenyang heard this, his eyes flickered clearly.

I asked the old man what these four situations meant.

The old man glanced at me: "I don't know this, I usually teach you in vain!" ”

it! When did he teach me? This old man won't get too involved in the role, he really thinks of me as his apprentice!

He said: "Ordinary wizards and strangers learn only the ordinary divination method of checking ghosts, just to know which kind of sneaky evil, if the cause of the matter is too complicated, then it cannot be accounted for, there are usually four situations, the first is the catastrophe that has caused many deaths due to natural and man-made disasters, such as floods, plagues, droughts, as well as fires and massacres; The second is the emergence of powerful guys, called great murderers, such as thousands of years old ghosts and old monsters, but this great murder is relative to the ability of the diviner; the third is the great injustice that cannot be revealed due to unjustification, which is more common; The last one is the unexplained situation that is different from these three situations, so it is called unknowable, for example, sometimes the feng shui of the yin house and the yang house is not right, and it will also have an impact. ”

Old man Ma asked Huang Wenyang: "Has there been any natural or man-made disaster here that caused many deaths, or who has died unjustly?" ”
