Chapter Twenty-Three: The Patron of the Old Jiang Family
"I have made an agreement with your granddaughter that I can help you revive the Jiang family back then, and Jiang Xin will wash away my grievances for me. ”
Wang Meng's words, at first grandpa didn't understand, then seemed to think of something suddenly realized, he looked at me, it seemed to ask for my opinion.
Grandpa met Wang Meng for the first time, but I was different.
Wang Meng is powerful and can help me, this matter is mutually beneficial, plus I am cursed, how can I cooperate with Wang Meng.
I nodded, "Grandpa don't worry, I'll take care of this." "Actually, I didn't dare tell my grandfather that I had been cursed.
Grandpa sighed when he heard me say this, and then said to Wang Meng in a respectful tone, "Then Your Excellency Lao will take care of my family's granddaughter for me." ”
Obviously, Wang Meng said that he wanted to reach an agreement with me, how did he come out of his grandfather's mouth, but it became like he entrusted me to Wang Meng, I was really speechless, and I couldn't figure it out.
"Grandpa...... "I wanted to ask, but Grandpa looked at me and stopped me. "Grandpa is tired and needs to rest for a while. ”
Grandpa asked me to help him into the house and lie down, and I didn't come out until he had fallen asleep.
In fact, grandpa didn't want to sleep, maybe because Gumeng was uncomfortable about what happened just now, and wanted to be quiet.
After all, he was a fierce rival in the past, and now one is in the sky and the other is on the ground, and that kind of humiliation is definitely not the kind of lightness that everyone in the Jiang family gave him, or even heavier.
I muttered and closed the door. walked up to Wang Meng and said, "Thank you for breaking the siege just now." ”
Wang Meng nodded very helpfully, and in turn despised me, "It's not the first time." ”
"Hmm...... Okay. "I'm just a piece of shit.
I rolled my eyes at the sky, left my grandfather's room, and took Wang Meng away.
"Hey, that Gumeng just now is an evil man who even puppets, is the puppet magic very powerful? ”
Although Wang Meng rescued my grandfather. But grandpa is paralyzed after all, and Heel Gumeng is not an opponent at all.
Before, that Gumeng said that he would use puppetry to deal with his grandfather, although he was scared away by Wang Meng now, I dare not guarantee that he will not come to the door again.
Wang Meng looked at me, actually thought about it seriously, and then tapped a finger on my head and said slowly.
"What are you worried about, he has just been rectified by me, obviously jealous, although you go out to prove that your grandfather did not raise a ghost, but he will definitely be careful and vigilant, and he will not come over rashly. ”
"What about the puppetry? ”
Although I have learned about this aspect of the technique, after all, it is what I have seen on paper, and I don't know exactly what it is, and I don't know what it is for a while.
Wang Meng may be a little helpless about me being so shameless to ask, although he is impatient, he still tells me in detail seriously.
"Puppetry: Puppetry can control a person's body, and as long as they lose their mind after being controlled, they will be at the mercy of the manipulator, but not all people can successfully perform puppetry. ”
"It's like your grandfather, although he is paralyzed, but he has thoroughly studied the secret method of Maoshan, puppetry is an evil art, but it diverges from Maoshan, a root, other people's puppetry does not work on your grandfather. ”
In other words, the appalling puppet technique is just so-so. ”
I'm happy again.
Wang Meng glanced at me and said, "Wrong, I haven't finished talking yet, don't interrupt." ”
"If the puppet technique is not as good as the decent Maoshan Dao technique, would Gumeng commit such a big crime to pursue the puppet magic?"
Wang Meng asked rhetorically, and I retorted unhappily, "That Gumeng is a person with an improper heart, and a person with an improper heart will naturally not pursue decent Taoism." ”
Wang Meng glanced at me, "Superficial, don't interrupt me." ”
I shut up in silence, and he continued to speak quietly.
"I'm talking about other people's puppetry, which doesn't work on your grandfather, but Gumeng once studied the secret method of Maoshan with your grandfather, and the study of puppetry is also perfect, and Gumeng manipulates puppetry, your grandfather may be able to leave a little mind when manipulating, but his strength is definitely not enough Gumeng. ”
What Wang Meng said made me stunned.
So doesn't that mean that my grandfather is in danger?
I looked at Wang Meng, and Wang Meng instantly understood what I meant.
"What's the panic, it's naturally useless for your three-legged cat kung fu, but since I cooperate with you, the lifeblood of your Jiang family, I will naturally be responsible. ”
With his words, I am extremely relieved.
Although Wang Meng usually always says that I don't know how to learn, and I am an eighteenth-rate little Taoist, I am still very man at a critical time.
Forget it, since this is the case, the previous trivial things will be written off, I don't care.
I hummed a tune, and Wang Meng didn't seem to understand why I was suddenly in a better mood.
I pulled him out, "Let's go, let's go pick up some orders to do, and by the way, practice Taoism, I have to get stronger quickly!"
"I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, just your bones, let's take it easy, and in the end I poked the basket, don't you want me to solve it?"
Wang Meng didn't save face for me at all, and complained about me directly.
Although this is the case, but you can't bury people so openly, my old face is hot, and my mouth is tough.
"Don't look down on people, when I become Mr. Daoshu, don't regret it!
"Okay, look at what kind of fame you little girl can make. ”
Wang Meng shook his head helplessly, looking like an old pedant.
I stole a glance at him, feeling a little inexplicably relaxed.
In fact, it is because of him that I dare to be so confident.
If I were alone, I wouldn't be so bold at all, let alone subdue demons.
I am indeed a half-exorcist, in our Jiang family, those relatives who look down on people and are high, although I don't want to say it, but their strength is indeed much above us.
They also have the capital of people who ridicule them, and if they don't have some strength, they won't all have a lot of money.
Looking at my family, my dad is mixed up like this, not to mention, I have only taken over the mantle from now on, and the starting line has fallen too long.
It seems that I am going to embark on the road of subduing demons and eliminating demons, and it is really a long road.
But this is my grandfather's only thought, and it is also my belief in choosing to inherit the mantle, no matter how difficult it is, I will continue to walk firmly.
Besides, don't I still have Wang Meng here?
Although he is not human, he is powerful and can still protect the Jiang family, isn't he?
"What's your bad idea?"
Just when I was thinking about this, Wang Meng suddenly knocked on my head, I didn't want to worry about him, I shook my head, "It's okay, I'm thinking, how should we take the order?"
Although I inherited my grandfather's mantle and became an exorcist, as far as I'm a half-eighteenth-rate player, no one dares to invite me if they have something to do.
I've taken orders a few times before, but the strength is there, I know my own ability, once I get rid of Wang Meng, I guess I can't even kill a little ghost.
Therefore, the case also depends on the situation and the degree of danger.
Wang Meng seemed to see that I was entangled in this kind of thing for too long, interrupting my train of thought, "Receiving orders also depends on ability, at your level, it's better to wash and sleep early, and practice more at home." ”
"The biggest role of you, in life, is to pour cold water on people. ”
I looked up unhappily, raised my hand and poked his heart and asked him, "If I don't take orders, who will support me? Who will eliminate your grievances for you? Do you think I want to catch ghosts?"
It's not haunted everywhere in this world, and in this area, a lot of orders have been snatched away by the uncle's gang.
The rest are trivial things, or some thankless lists that are difficult to make, and they don't bother or don't want to do them, and the hard bones are all put away, and I can't gnaw on them.
It's really depressing.
"As an exorcist, you still have to rely on others to give alms, and you have failed. ”
Wang Meng looked up at the sky, seemed to be speechless to me, and continued to broadcast me tirelessly.
"Don't wait for the list to come to you, but you go and find the list yourself, I really don't understand, God gave you a pair of yin and yang eyes, and you even want me to tell you this kind of thing. ”
Yes, I was born with yin and yang eyes, so I can see things that others can't see, such as Wang Meng.
Thinking of me being such a wastewood, I couldn't help but bow my head a little ashamedly, Wang Meng probably felt that he was talking too much, came over and touched my head, and comforted me softly.
"Don't think everything so badly, don't worry too much, take your time, I'm here. ”
What he said was reassuring, and I nodded.
"So what are we going to do now?"
This time, I didn't even know what to do next, it seemed that everything was going towards Wang Meng's thinking, whatever he said was what he wanted, and everything was arranged by him.
Sure enough, Wang Meng, who had just reined in a little, rolled his eyes again this time.
"Do you want to catch ghosts, of course you want to lure ghosts over, don't say you can't even set up a Yin Gathering Array now?"
I...... Well, I haven't even heard the name of this formation.
Seeing that I was so embarrassed that I wanted to turn my head into an electric drill and burrow into the soil, Wang Meng just sighed helplessly, waved his hand, and threw me a book.
I took it and saw that it was a thread-bound book, the paper was already yellowed, and it looked much older than the age of the Maoshan secret technique that my grandfather had given me.
"There are all kinds of exorcism formations recorded on it, you can take a look at it when you have time, don't be a good person all day long, you will know that you are running around blindly......"
Wang Meng's voice came from above my head coolly, and I turned the book through the book curiously, and found that it was full of some traditional Chinese oracle bone inscriptions that I didn't understand, and it was even more difficult to understand than reading the book of heaven.
I weakly raised my hand and interrupted him.
"That...... I don't seem to be able to read the words on it. ”
“......”
Wang Meng's babbling language stopped abruptly, he paused for two seconds, as if he had been tempered by me, the corners of his mouth twitched twice, and four words were squeezed out from between his teeth.
"You. ”
Scolding and scolding, he still helped me draw the Yin Array, and it was in my yard, as long as the time came at night, I would naturally be able to see what I wanted.
At night, I went to bed early, but I couldn't sleep well, after all, the thought of myself not knowing anything was also a little disturbing, tossing and turning, and it was the middle of the night.
Just as I was about to fall asleep, I always felt the sound of cold breathing in my ears, as if someone was blowing next to me.
Not only that, but I also heard a resentful female voice softly calling my name over and over again.
"Jiang Xin, Jiang Xin, Jiang Xin......"
I was scared into a cold sweat by the cool voice, and when I opened my eyes, I realized that I was dreaming.
Silently relieved, I rolled over and saw a woman standing next to the bed.
The woman was wearing a school uniform skirt, face down, and fell to the ground, her rotten face mixed with coagulated blood at the moment, one eye was crushed and drooped in the socket, and her eyes were full of hideousness.
She just looked at me quietly.
I got stuck in my throat in one breath, stared at her with wide eyes, my heart contracted rapidly, and time seemed to stand still.
