Chapter 2 The old mansion full of yin energy
That same evening. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"Knock knock..."There was a knock at the door.
"It's coming, it's coming." Director Wang put down the bag in his hand and walked to open the door.
"Boss! We've made a big deal! The two girls pushed open the door and walked in. They are Zhao Jin and Qiu Haiwei, sophomores at Hunan Business School. Zhao Jin is a talented designer in the advertising department, and is usually responsible for the art of online stores and forums; Qiu Haiwei is a senior student in the Department of Chinese, mainly responsible for the basic copywriting work of online stores and forums.
"Oh? You've sold them all? Wang Dao lit a cigarette and said with a smile.
"Boss, your room smells of smoke and smoking. No, we agreed with the beauties of the foreign language department today that they will cooperate with us in this cosplay exhibition, and we will have our own booth in the center of the venue. Zhao Jin said excitedly.
"Yes, then you can see which products are suitable for sponsorship and promotion of this event, if it is not enough, I will buy it immediately. By the way, do we need to make some flyers and go to the event to hand them out? When Director Wang heard the news, he was also happy.
"Well, boss, don't worry, I'll leave it to us." Qiu Haiwei patted his chest and said.
"Okay, this event is over, I'll invite you to dinner, remember to bring your boyfriend." Director Wang said.
"Boss, you're too polite, that's what we should do. Usually we don't help much, and we get paid every month. We hope that your business can get better and better, so that we don't have to look for a job after graduation. Zhao Jin said with a smile.
"Then, boss, Ozu and I went to choose goods, you can continue to play your game." Qiu Haiwei said.
"What do you mean by continuing to play my game, I have something to do tonight." Director Wang picked up his bag and said.
"What's the matter? Going to pick up girls? Zhao Jin said while rummaging through the goods.
"I'm going to catch ghosts." Director Wang pretended to be mysterious and said.
"Oh....... Ozu, do you want my help? ”
"Hey, why are you reacting so coldly, I have a certificate as a mage, don't underestimate me."
"Boss, you go early and come back early, remember to bring the key, we will close the door for you."
"These two girls." Director Wang shook his head and left the room with his bag on his back.
There was no moonlight that night, and the street lights were a little dim. Late at night, there were basically no people around these construction sites. However, Director Wang waited until the convenience store across the street closed before he started to act.
Director Wang walked to the gate of the old mansion with his bag on his back, pushed hard, but did not push it open. He walked to the back door and found that it was also sealed. Director Wang raised his head and walked around the old mansion, and found that only one window on the second floor was open, and the other windows were either sealed with bricks or nailed with wooden boards.
"It's kind of like a spooky haunted house. Forget it, go over the wall. ”
Director Wang walked under the window, threw the bag into the window on the second floor, and then took a few steps back.
"The next player, Director Wang. Optional action, bare hands on the wall, difficulty coefficient 3.5. Director Wang posed for the appearance of individual exercises, took a deep breath, accelerated and rushed forward, then jumped high, kicked the wall with his right foot, grabbed the window frame on the second floor with his left hand, and then Wang Dao supported his left foot, led up with both hands, and turned over into the room.
Director Wang picked up the bag on the floor, took out a flashlight from the bag, and gently pressed the switch, and the flashlight immediately emitted a pale yellow soft light. This is a gossip mirror flashlight, which is different from other flashlights in that users can press different switch combinations according to different needs, so that the reflective mirror of the flashlight forms different hexagrams. Now Wang Dao uses the kun hexagram, which is used to allow the user to see the flow of yin qi at night.
After turning on the flashlight, Director Wang saw the situation in the room on the second floor clearly. This room is not big, and the interior decoration style is very Republican characteristics, but it can be seen from the yellowed and powdered walls that no one has lived in this house for a long time. There was not a single piece of furniture in the room, just a few pieces of wood scattered in the corners. There are also some strange rune paper pasted on the wall of the room by the window, which should be the masterpiece of the "mage" invited by the previous construction team.
Director Wang took a closer look at the room, and through the light of the gossip mirror flashlight, he could see that a wisp of yin qi in the air was slowly flowing into the room from outside the door. Wang Dao went against the flow of yin qi and walked out of the door. He pushed open the old wooden door and made his way to the hallway on the second floor. The wooden planks in the corridor have obviously deteriorated, and when Director Wang steps on them, the wooden planks will make a "crunch, crunch" sound. Director Wang took a closer look at the internal structure of the house with a flashlight. This is a very distinctive old house, the exterior is made of blue bricks, and the inner floor is a very traditional wooden hall, which can be said to be a very stylish two-story house. However, this old mansion has been abandoned for a long time, and even the cracks in the stone slabs of the atrium are overgrown with weeds.
Director Wang used a flashlight to shine a flashlight on the other rooms on the second floor, their doors closed. Wisps of yin qi flowed into the room through the closed doors and windows. Director Wang turned over and jumped from the second floor and walked to the place where the yin qi gathered, that is, on the bluestone slab in the atrium. Director Wang observed for about ten minutes and found that about every 5 minutes, a stream of yin qi would seep out from under the bluestone slab. This is also the reason why the yin qi of the whole old house is so heavy.
"What's going on? In the past, the level of feng shui masters could not be worse than mine, why is it that in such a large house, the location of the atrium actually seeps yin qi out? Director Wang was a little surprised.
Director Wang squatted down and gently tapped the bluestone slab under his feet with his hand. The texture of the bluestone slabs is very good, and although there are already speckled moss, they are still very hard. Weeds growing in the crevices of the slabs clasped the slabs tightly to the ground, and it seemed that they could not be pried open without the use of professional tools.
"Is it going to be fruitless? No, if this ancient house is left like this, I am afraid that someone will suffer misfortune. As a witcher, I should not have this from happening again. Director Wang took out a piece of rune paper from his bag and threw it upward.
Director Wang clapped his hands lightly, and when the spell flew to a height of more than 2 meters above the ground, it suddenly spontaneously combusted. After a while, it burned out. At this time, in the almost closed atrium, a whirlwind suddenly blew, and the yin qi that had originally gathered in the atrium was immediately swept away. However, it didn't take long for a stream of yin qi to seep out from under the bluestone slab again.
"Sure enough, no... This yin... Not good! It's Earthbinding! After Wang Dao felt the yin qi rising from the ground again, his face couldn't help but change. Originally, the Earth Bound Spirits were mostly made of souls who did not want to leave their homes. In general, they do not hurt people as long as they do not alarm their mansions or territories.
"It's a big trouble now, I should have made more preparations if I knew so. Forget it, seal this place today, and come back tomorrow with all the tools. Director Wang took out four pieces of rune paper from his bag and prepared to paste them on the stone piers at the four corners of the atrium. At this moment, a black smoke came out of the crack in the blue brick, forming a vague figure in midair.
Director Wang hurriedly adjusted the gossip mirror flashlight in his hand to Qiangua, and the light of the flashlight immediately turned bright gold. Director Wang shone the flashlight at the black figure and shouted, "What are you?!" The shadow was locked in place by the light of the flashlight, unable to move. The light of the flashlight didn't hold it back, and the shadow began to struggle violently. In less than ten seconds, it broke free from the shackles of the flashlight's light.
Director Wang quickly took out a mineral water bottle from his bag, bit the cap with his teeth, and sprinkled the water in the bottle towards the black shadow. The black shadow roared and instantly flew into the air. However, a few drops of water still hit the shadow. The shadow screamed and fell from mid-air.
"Master Zhaojue's holy water that has been opened is very useful, and I will ask Ah Hua to help me get two more bottles next week." Director Wang carefully twisted the mineral water bottle back into his bag, and then walked towards the black shadow with a flashlight.
"Still struggling, don't bother, the Holy Water of Enlightenment is the most useful against a Yin Spirit like you. Alas, speaking of which, you earthbound spirits are also very pitiful, so let me send you into reincarnation. Director Wang used a piece of rune paper to suppress the black shadow on the stone slab, and then began to rummage through the props in the bag, preparing to overtake the black shadow.
"And... Slow, young man. It has withered and regained its glory, it has been extinguished and resurrected, and it has been born in heaven, and it is more spiritual. The shadow said in a flat, hoarse voice.
"Huh? As an earthbound spirit, do you still have time to study the Purple Book? Director Wang was surprised.
"Because... Ahem... I... He used to be a demon hunter too. Ahem... Shaoxia, can you remove this soul talisman, there is really no spiritual power to struggle underneath. By the way, how many years has it been in the Republic of China? The dark shadow said as he lay on the stone slab.
Director Wang was stunned. A passage in the "Yin Mantra" of the "Purple Book Recipe" read by the black shadow is not something that ordinary people may know. What he didn't expect was that the black shadow could tell so quickly that the rune paper that suppressed it on the stone slab was the soul suppression talisman.
"My name is Wang Dao, it's 2010 AD, and the Republic of China no longer exists. However, if you really want to count it, it should be 99 years of the Republic of China now. I don't know who you are? Director Wang took back the talisman paper attached to the black shadow's chest, and then asked.
"Zhou Boxi. I didn't expect it to be more than ninety years. The shadow slowly rose from the ground.
“...... More than ninety years! Senior, since you are a demon hunter, why did you become the earthbound spirit of this old mansion? How did you die? Could it be that he was killed by a monster? Director Wang asked.
"Definitely, ordinary monsters can't kill me." Zhou Boxi replied.
"Oh? Is that? Director Wang asked again.
"The matter....... It's a long story. If it had not been for the traitors, I would not have fallen into such a field. Zhou Boxi paused for a moment and continued, "Don't say this. I want to ask Xiao Wang, do you have a ghost? ”
"Huh? Not yet, don't you think? Director Wang said.
"Yes, I have now become a bound spirit of the earth, and the world does not tolerate it, so I should have bothered Xiao Wang for you to relieve me. However, I implore you to make a ghost pact with me. Zhou Boxi said.
"It's... Can the seniors tell me why, is there anything else that the seniors have left behind? Director Wang rubbed his brows and said, it was the first time that Director Wang had heard that a demon hunter was willing to become a ghost envoy after his death.
"Where there are still mundane affairs, more than 90 years have passed, and those mundane affairs have become a handful of loess. However, there are some things I want to confirm, and I also want to see what the world looks like today. So much for. Zhou Boxi replied.
"Hmm... Well, since the seniors are willing, I bother the seniors to deign to become my ghost. Director Wang nodded and said.
The so-called ghost envoy agreement is a subordinate agreement between a ghost and a demon hunter. After the agreement is concluded, the ghost envoy is not allowed to actively attack living beings; Do not disobey the orders of the Demon Hunter excessively. In the future, if the demon hunter has anything that is not convenient for him to deal with, information that is not easy to collect, or a relationship that is not suitable for mediation, he can be handled by the demon envoy on his behalf. The Oni can even subdue some of the imps for their own use. However, as the leader of the supernatural world, the demon hunter will choose to re-enter the cycle after death, rather than become the ghost of another demon hunter.
Zhou Boxi and Wang Dao sat opposite each other, Wang Dao's left hand held a freshly written rune paper against the black shadow's chest, and shouted softly: "E! A cyan ball of light immediately appeared on Zhou Boxi's chest. Director Wang stretched out the fingers of his right hand to draw a simple pattern on the ball of light, and then gently slapped the ball of light back into Zhou Boxi's body.
"Uh..." Zhou Boxi snorted, his whole body glowed with blue, and his facial features and limbs began to gradually appear. In less than a cigarette, the black shadow changed into a translucent figure in the shape of a human. Judging from his face, it should be a young man around 30 years old.
Zhou Boxi opened his eyes and slowly raised his hands, he looked at his familiar and somewhat unfamiliar hands, and was stunned for a moment.
"Senior, senior, are you okay?" Director Wang shook his hand and said.
Zhou Boxi woke up from his contemplation, arched his hand and said, "Xiao Wang... Thank you, host. From now on, I will be your ghost. I have a request that the host can give me a ten-day day to do some research. After a decade, when the master needs me any time, I ask the master to command. ”
"Well... Well, I promise you. Director Wang touched his head and replied.
"Master, it's almost time now, so I'll leave first." Zhou Boxi bowed his hand to Wang Dao, and then disappeared into the air.
"Hey, hey...... If you want to flash so fast, I still want to talk. Alas, I didn't expect that my first ghost envoy would be a peer, and he was also a senior. Disillusioned, I thought I would find a mature, sexy, beautiful and generous female ghost to be a ghost. But it's also strange, how did the Demon Hunter become an Earthbound Spirit? Director Wang shook his head, packed up his things and left the old mansion.
