Chapter 20: The Night of Horror
Although this hotel is remote and the name is very bad, the price of one hundred and one nights is really good, and there is everything in the house. The Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info worthy of being a small hotel in a big city, more than twice as strong as the express hotels in Binjiang for 11 nights.
Putting down the salute, Zhong Xu took out the only change of clothes and went into the bathroom and took a hasty shower. As soon as he finished washing, there was a knock on the door in the room, Zhong Xu asked who it was, but there was no response quietly outside the door. Zhong Xu walked to the door vigilantly, picked up the probe ruler from the wardrobe behind him with his backhand, put his ear on the door and asked in a low voice again.
There was still no response outside the door, no matter how Zhong Xu asked, he was silent. Zhong Xu frowned, turned around and walked to the window, leaned against the wall and glanced down, and was suddenly shocked. On the street opposite downstairs, three or four ghosts were staring at the window of Zhong Xu's room, their eyes full of greed and killing, and their fluttering bodies moved with the wind, as if they might rush over at any time.
Zhong Xu closed the curtains, held back his violent heartbeat and walked to the bed, took out all the charms in the ghost bag and spread them on the table, opened the book he took out at the airport and took a cursory look at it, and then picked out all the charms written on the table and quickly pasted them on the doors and windows, and found a compass from the ghost bag according to the method in the book and put it in the middle of the room, cut his fingers and dripped the essence blood into the compass.
As the essence blood on Zhong Xu's fingers dripped into the groove in the compass, the compass placed in the center of the room flashed suddenly, and countless bright red thin lines burst out in an instant, connecting all the character guarding spells attached to the wall in the room, and all the red lines intertwined with each other in mid-air, emitting a flash of crimson faint light, like neon in the night, Zhong Xu was also stunned and shouted.
At this moment, the knock on the door was remembered again, Zhong Xu was startled, he didn't care about admiring the guardian array of the artifact in front of him, grabbed the probe ruler that was put aside and walked to the door cautiously, stuck on the door and asked in a low voice, "Who?" ”
"Your meal!" The familiar voice of the boss sounded outside the door. Zhong Xu turned his head to look at the room, held the probe ruler with his right hand behind his back, slowly opened the door with his left hand, stretched out his head and looked around the corridor, only to see the boss holding a plate with a smile, and said with a smile, "What's wrong, look at you nervous!" ”
Zhong Xu glanced at the corridor again, smiled at the boss, threw down the sentence I have nothing to do with the dinner in the boss's hand and closed the door with his backhand, and let out a long sigh of relief.
Looking at the guard array in the house, Zhong Xu sighed, and said in his heart that his life would not be easy in the future. As Jiang Xiaoman said, his yang life is approaching, causing the three fires to be extinguished, at this time, he is the best tonic for ghosts and spirits, as long as there are some cultivators, they want to try their best to kill themselves now, and then suck away the few but very essence yang qi in this body.
After eating hastily, Zhong Xu opened the map of Shanghai that he took from downstairs, took out the cloth roll that his mother gave him from his pocket, and began to think about where to start. There are only two words on this cloth roll, and there are no rough coordinates and locations, and coming out this time is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack. But it's better to come out and find it than to wait for death in Binjiang, anyway, Zhang Liang is not there, Jiang Xiaoman's self-contained and arrogant woman can't be counted on, who can she rely on if she doesn't rely on herself......
His current location is probably near Shenhong Road, and if Yin Zhan is really related to the East China Sea, then he is likely to go to sea. If you want to sail in Shanghai, you have to rush to the Donghai Bridge in the lower right corner of the map. But after thinking about it, it is impossible for me to find the huge East China Sea inch by inch, and there is no mention on this cloth scroll that the fragments of the yin cup are on the sea.
It doesn't work, it doesn't work either. Zhong Xu leaned back on the chair helplessly, took out a cigarette and lit it on his mouth, stared at the cloth roll on the table in a daze, I don't know how long it took, and he fell asleep in a daze.
I don't know how long it took, with a loud noise in the corridor, Zhong Xu's whole body was agitated, he suddenly opened his eyes and bounced up from the chair, grabbed the probe ruler not far away and leaned nervously against the wall. At this moment, Zhong Xu suddenly found that something seemed to be missing in the room, and after a closer look, Zhong Xu found that the formation red line in the room had long since disappeared.
"Boom!" The door was slammed again, Zhong Xu ignored the sound outside the door, rushed to the compass in a few steps, picked up the sharp greedy yin ruler and cut his fingers that had not yet healed, and once again dropped a drop of essence blood into the long-dried groove in the compass.
As the drops of blood dripped in, the compass glowed, and the criss-crossed red lines in the room lit up again, and as the red lines and the Guardian charm reconnected, the sound of the crash outside the door disappeared. Zhong Xu held the probe ruler and cautiously walked to the back of the door, squatted down and put his ear on the door, listening carefully to the movement outside the door.
"Bang!" Just when Zhong Xu put his ear on the door, the door was violently slammed by the outside, which frightened Zhong Xu and ran back to the room with his hands and feet.
The impact outside the door continued, and with each huge impact, the Guardian Charm in the room flashed violently, protecting Zhong Xu and the entire room like a golden bell jar from the slightest wavering.
The ghost outside the door tossed for more than half an hour, until more than three o'clock in the night, the sound outside the door slowly became quieter, Zhong Xu knew that this group of things did not go far, just waiting for an opportunity nearby, just now he was fortunate to wake up in time, otherwise if this broken door hit twice, I am afraid that he will never have a chance to find the shards again.
Sitting on the chair, Zhong Xu's sleepy eyes fought but he didn't dare to sleep, so he had to smoke one after another, and went to the toilet to wash his face every few minutes, so he stayed up until the sky showed the white of the fish's belly, Zhong Xu got up and added blood to the compass for the last time, then opened the curtain and set the alarm clock, grabbed the greedy ruler and leaned on the chair and fell asleep wrapped in a blanket.
At this moment, a few kilometers away in Hongqiao Airport, an early plane from Binjiang City has turned into the docking station, as the cabin door slowly opened, a girl wearing a set of white sportswear and sunglasses with headphones walked down the stairs expressionlessly, towards the outside of the airport.
The girl didn't take any more than a salute, only a small folding pocket on her back, which didn't look like she was on a tourist. The girl didn't go far before she stopped, took off her sunglasses and frowned at a little fat man who was pulling two suitcases behind her back and carrying a large and small bag, "I said Zhou Tianbao, can you go faster!" ”
The little fat man named Zhou Tianbao wiped his sweat, nodded, and said with a smile: "Xiaoman, you go first, I'll come, I'll come!" With that, he took a long breath, wiped his sweat, pulled up his suitcase, and followed.
