Chapter 080: Enchanting Box
When I got out of the ghost market, the man took me into a car, and it was the strong man who drove the car, and the man in black sat next to me.
In the car, I kept talking to men that I had family, but I was not a person without relatives and no reason, not a woman who was trafficked.
The man in black turned his head to look at me, and he suddenly put me in my ear. After looking at it, he said to me slowly,
"I saved you except for the ghost market, you should thank me." Yes, I would be more grateful to him if he would let me go home.
"Thank you, big brother." As I spoke, I also took a closer look at the man's appearance, and when I saw him for the first time, I felt that this man looked a little similar to Tang Xiao.
But after a closer look, you will find that this man's eyebrows are even more raised, with an indescribable righteousness.
Although I don't read countless people, it's okay to look at it, and the righteousness in this person is the kind of justice that is unique to people who are truly upright.
There is justice that radiates from the inside out. Moreover, I also think that the man seems to have some magic weapons on his body to subdue powerful ghosts, could it be that he is some ghost hunter?
The man seemed to know that I couldn't hear, and spoke to me very slowly, and always face to face.
"You girl, why was you caught by a ghost and brought to the ghost market to buy it?" Because of the discovery of the magic weapon on his body, I didn't dare to say that I was the daughter-in-law of the ghost family in Xishan for a while, and I was really worried that this Taoist priest and Pu Sheng would have some troubles.
"I came here to play, and I was arrested for no reason." I pretended to be aggrieved and said,
"Have pity on me, let me go." The man looked outside the car and continued: "It's not out of the West Mountain yet, and when you get out of the West Mountain, if you want to leave, I'll let you go." "When I heard the man's words, I instantly became happy, and it seemed that he had no intention of buying me and letting me be his servant.
"Big brother, you're so nice." I'm almost going to be grateful to this big brother. Who knows, the man actually said another word,
"But I spent money, so it's better to do this, you work in my house for a month, and you should be repaid."
"I only have to go home, bring money to the family, and then send it to you." The mood that had just been relaxed immediately tensed up again,
"If I disappear for a month, my family will definitely be in a hurry."
"Girl, I have my own rules for being a man, I can't hide it, I bought you today because I saw that you were born with yin and yang eyes, and you are a good material for learning Taoism, so I took care of my affairs." The man said, and began to look at me carefully,
"A month, a month later, you decide to stay, within this month, I will not only help you cure your eyes, but also teach you some Taoist priests, if we are fated, you are willing to continue to stay and learn, then I will officially accept you as an apprentice." The man's words didn't take me by at all.
What's the matter, I'm going to pick up a master. Suddenly remembered what the ghost king said to me, I should find a master to study hard, look at the man in front of me, he looks upright, if he is really capable, it is also a good thing to teach me.
"Cheng, but as you said, after a month, I decided to stay by myself, I can declare in advance, even if I learn art, but I want to be free, at least I want to go home and tell my family." I said solemnly to the man.
The man happily agreed, and he told me that his name was Yue Chi. I pondered the name in my heart, and it always felt a little familiar.
After about forty minutes of driving, Yue Chi let me get out of the car, the sturdy man, everyone called him Da Zhuang, Yue Chi took me into his house.
It's a small quadrangle, but it looks like it's rich. When I got here, Yue Chi helped me arrange a place to stay, and he quickly helped me personally treat my ears.
Changing the dressing three times a day, he is quite skilled in treating my ear, and every time he changes the dressing, he is like a professional doctor.
By the third day, my hearing was almost restored.
"How?" Yue Chi asked, sitting across from me. I tilted my ears and listened carefully to the birdsong outside, which was very crisp.
"No problem, totally fine." I happily stood up, walked to the window, and pushed it open, and even the sound of the wind blowing was very clear.
"Now that my ears are good, I will participate in the training camp from tomorrow." Yue Chi said, and began to clean up the needles and medicine on the table.
"Training?" I repeated it to make sure I heard it correctly.
"Yes, Da Zhuang will take you there." After saying that, he left, leaving me alone in a daze.
To learn Taoism, but also to train? How to make it like going to the battlefield. When I finished eating, Da Zhuanghuo came to my room to look for me.
"Master asked me to take you to train today, you come with me." Da Zhuang is a strong and weak person, usually Yue Chi tells him to go down, and he will do it completely.
"Done." I stood up, I haven't been lazy for so many days, it's time to go out and do activities,
"Let's go." Da Zhuang led the way in front, and then I realized that there was still a lot of space behind this courtyard, and across the house, there was a large open space, like a playground.
There were a dozen or so people rolling around on the playground. The people, looking at it from a distance, followed the madman, some of them ran as hard as if something was chasing after them, and some kept attacking, as if there was something in front of him.
I tapped my finger in the center of my forehead, opened my eyes, and saw that in addition to the ten people on the playground, there were more than a dozen ghosts, and this ghost was black and steaming, and it looked like a terrible ghost.
"There you go." Da Zhuang pointed not far away and said,
"Your task today is to collect all these ghosts, otherwise there will be no food to eat at night." I looked at the black ghost, and my tongue knotted,
"Are you sure?"
"Hmm." After Da Zhuang finished speaking, he actually smiled,
"The people inside are all apprentices of the master, although they are all talented, but their abilities have not been able to improve, they have not been able to accept a ghost after studying for many days, the master is angry today, saying that he will not solve the ghost here, do not eat or sleep, you are lucky, you encountered this kind of thing on the first day of the training, I as a senior brother, I can only wish you good luck." I couldn't help but want to give Da Zhuang a punch, looking at the person quite honest, I didn't expect this to be a gloating master, and deliberately asked,
"You are also Master's apprentice, why don't you catch ghosts here? Could it be that you don't even have talent and can only do chores? Da Zhuang immediately said to me angrily,
"Don't talk nonsense, I'm the master's big apprentice, the reason why I don't need to train here is because I can already take over the work alone, and I'm going to help a couple find a child in a while, you, take care of your own affairs first." After saying that, Da Zhuang turned around and left.
I silently watched the demons dancing in front of me, and I was a little worried, just now I saw that the ghosts here are not easy to deal with, and these people have limited abilities.
With the peachwood sword, I rushed to the middle of the ghosts, no matter, solve one by one, otherwise according to Yue Chi's style of speaking, it can really make us hungry.
Because it is a face-to-face fight with the ghost, my blessed peachwood sword has some uses, and when it is slashed at the ghost, black smoke will quickly come out of the ghost's body, which is also a phenomenon of the loss of ghost energy.
After wasting the power of nine cows and two tigers, I finally subdued a powerful ghost, because only the little gourd is a magic weapon for collecting ghosts, so I can only use it.
I don't know what's wrong with me, but I found that after this injury, not only did I not burn the root of the disease, but my skills were more vigorous than before, and even when I used the peachwood sword, the power emitted was greater than before.
Could it be that Pu Sheng did something when I wasn't paying attention? The ghosts were subdued by me one after another, I didn't feel a little tired, but full of energy, and seemed to be getting more and more energetic, until the end, I found that I even had an urge to kill, and I couldn't quickly subdue all the ghosts.
The person next to me looked at me in shock. When I subdued the last ghost, they looked at me with admiration.
They told me that I was surrounded and excitedly asked me what my name was, if I was Yue Chi's new apprentice, and when I came.
Before I could answer, I suddenly felt my little gourd start to vibrate violently, and I immediately covered it with both hands to prevent the ghost from coming out of the gourd.
But the tighter I covered the ground, the more the gourd vibrate, and almost instantly, the ghosts who had been all taken in by me escaped from the exploding gourd with a bang.
On the one hand, I felt sorry for my only magic weapon, and on the other hand, I began to worry about the powerful ghost in front of me. Mom, the gourd is gone, if I continue to fight, I can only beat them to the ground to completely solve it.
This group of people was even more nervous, they were not the opponents of the ghosts in the first place, and they finally met me, but it was only a few seconds after they were happy that something like this happened.
There were screaming people, there were people running around, and this scene was even more chaotic than when I first arrived.
"Don't run." Yue Chi's voice suddenly came out, and he saw that his big hand was big for a while, and those powerful ghosts actually got into his sleeve.
Seeing that Yue Chi had taken away the ghost, the apprentices who were panicked stood in a row, all with their heads bowed, waiting for Yue Chi to reprimand.
Sure enough, Yue Chi taught us one by one a lesson, saying that we were too timid, and the other half actually told everyone about their mistakes in the process just now.
When Yue Chi walked in front of me, he actually paused.
"You, go to the room and look for me in a moment." After that, I went to teach the next lesson. His words are very similar to when he was a child, the teacher said don't leave after school.
Generally speaking, there is nothing good about what the teacher said. Although in the end, the ghost ran out of my gourd, but Yue Chi said, since I have already taken it in, then even if we complete today's task.
Everyone finished their meal happily. I went to find Yue Chi hard, and I kept beating the drum in my heart, not knowing what Yue Chi would say to me.
"Come in." I rubbed at the door for a while, Yue Chi's voice sounded, I pushed open the door, and saw him drawing something in front of his desk.
"Master, what are you looking for me?" Although it was agreed that he would change his name to Master a month later, I think that someone had cured my eyes and planned to teach me Taoism, so it would not be an exaggeration to call him Master.
"You're doing well today." Yue Chi put down the brush in his hand and looked up at me. Since I was a child, because I have not been good at school, the teacher has not praised me, and the first time I heard the master praise, I suddenly felt a little difficult to accept.
"You didn't call me to teach me, but to praise me." I said excitedly,
"You said it earlier, it scared me." Seeing my hippie smile, Yue Chi coughed solemnly and asked me to stand up.
"Although you performed well, but as a teacher, you can see that the main credit is in your peachwood sword, let's say, your peachwood sword was given to you by a master." Yue Chi said, his eyes looking at my peachwood sword.
I'm a little embarrassed, I originally thought it was because I had grown, but it turned out to be because of the peach wood sword.
"Yes, it was given to me by a master." I'll be honest with you.
"You have a good talent, as long as you have a little training, you will become successful, so since you have called me master, the master has not given you a gift yet." Yue Chi said, suddenly stood up and walked to the shelf where he put antiques, and reached out to pick up a small round box.
The box is ceramic, a bit like the box used by women to hold rouge in ancient times, but it is smaller than the rouge box, only about half the size of the rouge box.
Yue Chi handed me the box, and I immediately took it.
"This is called the Charm Box, I got it by accident, it can subdue most of the ghosts, your gourd is broken today, and you will use it as a tool for collecting ghosts in the future." I looked at the petite ceramic box, no, it was a charm box, and it had a familiar feeling.
"The ghost box is better than the general ghost collection utensils, it can be said that as long as it is collected, as long as you don't release it, it will never come out, if there is really an escape, you only need to recite a spell, and the escaped ghost can return to the box again." Yue Chi explained the magical Enchantration Box, which sounded like an artifact to me.
As long as it is a terrible ghost who has entered it, no matter where he goes, as long as I scream, he will come back obediently.
A gourd for a charm box, it's worth it. In the days that followed, Yue Chi taught me a lot of Taoism, and I found that as long as I used the Mahogany Sword and the Demon Box, ordinary ghosts were no longer a problem in my eyes.
I really didn't expect that I was so talented, but I just studied with Yue Chi for a few days, and I learned more than I had learned in more than ten years before.
About ten days later, I was going to the training ground after eating, but on the way, Da Zhuang actually stopped me.
"Yezi, you don't have to train today, come with me to work outside." I asked curiously,
"What are you doing? Could it be that there is no food at home, so we want to go out to work to earn money and supplement the family? Da Zhuang laughed out loud,
"As long as you slip, can we go out to pick up the work as a Taoist priest and do coolies? It's definitely going to be a ghost hunt. I immediately nodded, yes, the Taoist priest must be a ghost hunter, remembering that the first time I went out to do business with Qiangzi, I lost all my money, and I suddenly had no end to this kind of business.
"How much money can you give us, will you do it for nothing?" I asked.
"How is that possible? Who dares not to give money to the people who are looking for us? If you don't give money, we'll put the ghost in his house to make trouble. Da Zhuang said, beckoning to go with him.
Da Zhuang took me to Yue Chi's study.
"Come to this dry mountain?" I asked curiously.
"Let's take a look at the message from the person asking for help." With that, Da Zhuang made it to a computer, and I sat next to him and watched him skillfully manipulate the computer.
I can't see that the big strong man is very rough-looking, and he will be a computer master. I saw Da Zhuang open a website, which said Ghost Hunter Yue Chi.
"Wait! Why is Master's name on it? "I looked at the webpage with a mysterious picture and wondered. Da Zhuang smiled,
"Of course it's Master's, this website is Master's, Ye Zi, you won't have heard of it."
"What have you heard?" I was in a state of bewilderment. Da Zhuang explained to me about the website and Yue Chi.
It turned out that Yue Chi was a very famous master, and he had solved a big case fifteen years ago.
"Fifteen years ago?" I suddenly couldn't help but interrupt,
"How old is Master?" I look at Yue Chi's appearance, he is only a little over thirty, and he became famous fifteen years ago, so he became famous in his teens.
"Thirty-one, what's wrong, do you think Master became famous early? Master is a genius who has become famous among young people in the Taoist world. Da Zhuang laughed,
"Let me tell you, you, it's really lucky, you were brought back by the master at a glance in the ghost market, you don't know how many people want to apprentice, that's a long way out, but the master accepts apprentices very strictly, and requires talent, and requires character, and sometimes also requires family background, and parents with bad character are not accepted, hey, only a few of us have been accepted over the years." I didn't expect that my cheap master would have such a big name, no wonder I always felt that I had heard his name, it turned out that he was Yue Chi, a ghost-catching genius who was rumored on the Internet.
I didn't know about Yue Chi's affairs, so I let Da Zhuang continue. It was a murderous mansion, and everyone who moved into it would die, and in the end, it was Yue Chi who went in alone and caught the ghosts inside, and the matter of this murderous mansion was solved.
At that time, it was big news, and Yue Chi also became famous overnight because of this incident, and then more and more people came to Yue Chi, and Da Zhuang became Yue Chi's big apprentice.
With the purpose of solving problems for the master, he built a website on the Internet, and if anyone wanted to find Yue Chi, he only needed to send an email to Yue Chi on the Internet, so that people would not have to travel all the way to come here, but sometimes Yue Chi was not at home.
"You say, you made this website? You're going to do this," I swallowed.
"What, look down on your senior brother?" Da Zhuang asked with an eyebrow.
"No, no, no." I waved my hand again and again,
"I just think you're all-powerful, you can catch ghosts and build websites, amazing!" After some praise from me, Da Zhuang turned this over.
"Master has something important to go out for a few days, and before leaving, he specially explained, there are small cases on the Internet, we can pick them up, one side is tempering, and the other side is to ask for some living expenses." Da Zhuang opened the email while talking, and I found that there was a sender who had been sending emails here for the past two days, and the subject was all asking for help.
"Open this." I snapped my finger and opened the email quickly. There weren't many words on it, and it seemed that the email was from a woman who was looking for his fiancé.
Roughly speaking, they were about to have a wedding, but when it came to the wedding day, her fiancé did not show up, and no one came to pick her up, only a woman waiting at home, which made the family very angry, and now her parents decided that she would never see her fiancé again.
She called, but her fiancé's call went unanswered, and she tried to run out to find it, but was stopped by her parents.
The woman thinks that something must have happened to her fiancé, because they love each other very much, and it is impossible for him to give up on her, so she hopes that we can help find her fiancé.
"Our business can also help find people." I wondered,
"Since you can't find anyone, why don't you call the police?" Da Zhuang was also strange, and said,
"It's also the first time I've seen the email here in the mailbox, and the others are all directly saying that there are ghosts in the house, or that the family is abnormal or something." Da Zhuang continued to move the mouse down, and I saw that the woman finally said that as long as she found her fiancé, she could give us 50,000 yuan, and as long as she agreed to take her case, she would pay us a deposit of 5,000 yuan in advance.
I immediately patted Da Sturdy on the shoulder and said, "Take it!" Da Zhuang hesitated, scratched his head and said,
"His fiancé is a big living person, where can we find it, Taoist priests will only care about the dead and ghosts, we can't find people, in this society, looking for people is similar to looking for a needle in a haystack, if we take it, and we can't find it, what should we do? It's not like you have to return the money. "Da Zhuang is reasonable, it's all my fault, my head is hot, and I just want to make money.
"Cheng, if you don't pick it up, you won't answer it, but if you want to reply to someone, just say you can't answer it, and people don't have to hope for us." I said.
Da Zhuang pulled the email to the very bottom, and suddenly the mouse hovered over the sender in the lower right corner, and he was motionless.
"Da Zhuang? Big brother? "I pushed Da Zhuang with my hand. Da Zhuang stretched out a finger in surprise and pointed to the payment, his face full of panic.
"Yezi, what is this written about?"
"Villa, Liu Jing." I read those words. Da Zhuang threw the mouse away and stammered,
"Villa Downhill! This is the murderous house! ”
"What?" I looked at Da Zhuang for some reason, and I didn't understand why he was so flustered.
"I just mentioned to you that the murderous mansion that has been dead, the master went in alone and collected the evil ghosts inside." Yes?
I looked at the payment in amazement, how coincidentally, the master used to exorcise ghosts, and now the owner sent us another letter asking for help.
I tried to calm myself down and said to Da Zhuang,
"Are you scared, doesn't it mean that the murderous house is fine, since it's okay, there must be other people living in it, maybe it's just a coincidence, the fiancé of this house can't be found, so he sent an email to let us find it."
"Nope! Ye Zi, at that time, the master was to accept the ghost inside, but because the ghost was too powerful, was it not able to exceed, so the ghost was sealed in the house, in order to prohibit anyone from living in the house, the master spent money to buy the house, so many years, the house has been empty, the key to the house two days ago I helped the master clean and saw it. ”
