I asked curiously, "Brother Zhao, if you encounter evil ghosts, do you Taoist priests want to maintain peace in the world and drive away ghosts and evil spirits?" ”

Zhao Li nodded and said, "This is the unshirkable responsibility of cultivators!" I quipped: "Brother Zhao, what if you encounter a ghost whose Yin Spirit power is stronger than your Dao technique?" ”

Zhao Li said with a bitter face: "If this is the case, I am afraid that if you can't drive ghosts, you will be harmed by ghosts." Therefore, it is also necessary to pay attention to strategy in exorcising evil ghosts, if you encounter a fierce ghost with super spiritual power, even if you see it, you must pretend not to see it, and then think of another idea. ”

He said very seriously: "Sometimes people with low yang energy see ghosts, if they don't alarm the ghosts, the ghosts may not be able to find people, and they may be able to escape a catastrophe." Especially when walking at night, people's yang energy is the lowest at night, if you suddenly see a person standing on the side of the road, silent, behaving strangely, try not to come forward to talk. Because, that 'person' is very likely to be a ghost that normal people can't see. If you don't provoke him, he may not see you yet. If you strike up a conversation and frighten the ghost, when your yang energy is low again, he will be able to find you immediately, and at this time, it will be too dangerous! ”

It turns out that there is still this kind of statement, and it can't help but open my eyes. I said thoughtfully, "Then I'm very low tonight, right?" You shouldn't stop to watch the ghost show when you come here. ”

Zhao Li snorted, and I continued to ask: "I started to see that there was no one on Qingshi's back, and then I suddenly found Wang Xiaoshan, is this because my yang qi has suddenly dropped so much?" ”

Zhao Li said: "That's right, although you are involved in the investigation of Mayor Wang's death case and the fake medicine case in Mojia Village, which has caused your yang energy to be sluggish, but you are not an ordinary person, so your yang energy is still higher than that of ordinary people, not to mention that you have been following the police all the time, and the royal qi can also ensure that your yang energy does not decline too quickly." ”

"After you separated from the police today, you have walked so many ways, and at night it is when the yang energy is falling and the yin energy is rising, so your yang energy is losing little by little. You are tired from traveling, and you sit on the back of this bluestone, the bluestone slab is cool, and the drop in your body temperature will also lead to the loss of yang energy. What's more, tonight there are many ghosts singing here, and the yin energy is flourishing, and slowly, the yin energy covers your yang energy. ”

I suddenly realized: "I understand, that Wang Xiaoshan has actually been sitting next to me, but she can't see me, and I can't see her." It wasn't until my yang energy dropped violently that she noticed me, and I saw her. At the same time, I also saw the ghosts under the stage, but because they were far away, the ghosts didn't notice me for a while. When Wang Xiaoshan and I kept talking, our communication caught the attention of the other ghosts, and they discovered me. ”

Zhao Li shook his head and said, "This is a reason, but I always feel that something is missing." No matter how much it is, it's good that you're safe. Brother Xiaomo, hurry home, I won't be able to protect you after a while, because our family's resentment is also dissipating little by little as the truth of the fake drug case emerges. I believe that it won't be long before our whole family can go to the underworld to report and be reincarnated as a human again. ”

I said with emotion: "Brother Zhao, don't worry, when the dust settles on the case, I will ask someone to do a legal service for your whole family, so that your family can be liberated as soon as possible." ”

Zhao Li hugged his fists, thanked me, and then disappeared. Only then did I realize that the people on the stage had long since stopped singing, but were busy dismantling the stage.

In this remote place, I, who had been frightened by the ghosts just now, almost lost my soul, saw a living person at this moment, even if I had never known each other, I felt very quiet and safe.

I decided to invite them to join me and rest at my house tonight. This is of course my natural kindness and hospitality, but in fact, it is also my inner fear that I will have many people to walk this dark night road with me.

I came to the edge of the stage, coughed and said, "Hello everyone, my name is Mo Xun, and I am from the Mojia Village in front of me." I see that it is so late, everyone is tired, how about inviting everyone to my house for a night? ”

Before I could finish my words, those who were dismantling the stage collapsed to the ground in fright, screaming incessantly, and all staring at me with frightened expressions.

I asked curiously, "What's wrong with you?" ”

The two women in costumes were so frightened that they cried, and among the other three men, one of the older ones said in a trembling voice: "This little brother, didn't we play well today?" Please let us go, I will give you a high incense stick another day! ”

I was instantly stunned that they had taken me for a ghost. I hurriedly said: "Don't be afraid, I'm not a ghost, I'm really from this Mo family's village!" ”

The men stopped the commotion and all looked at me with wide, frightened eyes. I had an idea, stretched out my arm, and said, "You see, I just let the branch scratch my wrist, and now it's still bleeding!" ”

The older man stared at my arm for a while, then he breathed a sigh of relief and turned his head to the others: "It's okay, he's really human." ”

Everyone looked at each other a few times and slowly got up. One of the women complained, "Hey! You're really, you've scared us all night, don't you know? ”

I was surprised, "What's going on?" How could I scare you guys for a night? ”

The woman snorted and said, "We are a grass stage team, and when we go around to do white things for others, we go to the stage to sing and eat together." A few days ago, we received a business, and a boss invited us to sing a ghost show on the hillside on the edge of Mojia Village, saying that it was a tribute to his deceased daughter. ”

I immediately understood that the person who asked to sing the ghost show must be Wang Xiaoshan's father, and the deceased daughter in her mouth is naturally Wang Xiaoshan.

When the woman saw me stunned, she said angrily: "Seeing that you are young, you must not know the rules of this business. This is a ghost show, and it's not for the living, and most people avoid it, but it's good, we just started singing, and we saw you, but it scared us to death. ”

The older man picked up the topic and said, "Yes, we have been acting for more than ten years, and we have never seen anyone watch a play." In fact, although we only eat white food, no one has ever seen a ghost. Every time we sing, there is no audience at all. It's a good thing that we freak out to see you there alone tonight, sometimes talking to yourself, sometimes running around like crazy. I am the head of this troupe, so I have to comfort them secretly, tell them not to be afraid, pretend that they can't see anything, and when the play is finished, we will leave, and the ghosts will naturally leave. ”

I sneered for a while, and laughed happily: "But you didn't expect that after the play was over, the ghost didn't leave, and took the initiative to talk to you, right?" Ha Luha, there are so many ghosts in the audience, why do you only see me, the real person? ”

The head of the class said angrily: "Hey, this friend, it's not easy for us to come out and eat, don't scare us with our amusement." From beginning to end, you are the only one on this hillside except us, not to mention that there are many ghosts to scare us! ”

I realized that they did not see the ghosts, and that they were invited to sing to the ghosts, so the ghosts would not disturb them, let alone hurt them.

I quickly made amends to them and invited them to stay at my house for the night. The five people discussed with each other, and the man in charge said to me: "Brother, you are so polite, then we should be respectful and obey our fate." We just finished singing and were worried, originally we had an appointment to pick us up as soon as we finished singing, but just now the driver called and said, the car broke down again, it is estimated that it will be repaired tomorrow morning, we can't do it, since the brother is so polite, then we will bother all night. ”

I was overjoyed and hurriedly invited them to my hometown. The boss of the troupe said to everyone: "It's not early today, let's bring our belongings, and the props of the troupe will be temporarily sealed in this hillside, no one will come to steal them anyway, and we will move them into the car tomorrow morning when the car comes." ”

The others applauded happily and followed the class leader, laughing all the way to my hometown. On the way, I quipped to the class leader: "Class master, I don't understand." Why do I think that when people in our area do white things, they invite a drama troupe to have a lively time, and everyone watches a lot of dramas? ”

The class leader said in a sullen voice: "Ahem, maybe the local customs are different!" When Boss Wang invited us to sing, he paid a lot of honorarium, explaining that this was a play for her deceased daughter. I'm just worried that your customs here are different from ours, and there will be many living people coming to watch the play, which will not meet Boss Wang's requirements, so Boss Wang asked us to sing in this mountain recess, just because he didn't want people to come close to watch the play. ”

I don't ask anymore because I've already seen the gates of my hometown. I made a gesture to tell a few of them not to speak.

After standing quietly for a while, I finally mustered up the courage and went up and knocked on the door. After knocking more than a dozen times, my father's hoarse voice came from upstairs: "Who?" ”

The lights also turned on immediately, and I was afraid of alarming the other people in the village, so I lowered my voice and plucked up the courage to say, "Dad, I'm Xiaoxun!" ”

The father was silent all at once, and there was a small sound in the room, as if he was getting up in his clothes. There were two figures on the balcony, although I couldn't see clearly behind the light, but I was naturally familiar with those two figures, they were the parents who brought me up since I was a child.

After a while, I heard the sound of stairs moving. The door quietly opened a crack, and it was not my father who appeared in front of me, but my mother, who looked terrified. The mother looked out of the door for a moment, and whispered nervously: "Xiaoxun, come in quickly, don't let others see it." ”

I dodged into the house, and when my mother was about to close the door, I said eagerly, "Mom, don't do this, let a few of my friends in first!" ”

"Your friend?" My mother asked me in a low voice, her expression full of doubt.
