Chapter 5: Blood Sacrifice
"Fortune telling, bone touching, feng shui! Exorcise evil spirits, catch demons, and fight villains! Don't miss it when you pass by, the moment that changes your life and destiny is in front of you! Hurry up and seize the opportunity! After returning from a business trip, Zhang Xiaofan had a beautiful ghost by his side, and he was motivated to do everything, and when he set up a stall, as long as he saw Chen Yating smiling at him, he would shout as hard as he was fighting chicken blood.
Xiaoliang looked at Zhang Xiaofan with disdain, and thought with disdain in his heart: Human beings are human beings, and when they see a slight appearance, they are fascinated and dizzy, whether they are human beings or ghosts, superficial!
On a hot day, Zhang Xiaofan shouted for a while, thinking that there should be no guests today, so he bought a popsicle and licked it, and when he came back, he saw a person standing in front of his stall.
"You Fang scattered Zhang Xiaofan?" A person who seemed to be a courier brother said: "I am Daodao Express, and here is a letter from the Folk Taoist Association, please sign for it." β
"Folk Taoist Association? I haven't joined, why are you sending me a letter? Zhang Xiaofan signed his name awkwardly, and while eating a popsicle, he opened the letter to check the contents.
"With two ghosts in public, do you want to show off so much?" The courier brother looked at Zhang Xiaofan enviously, put away the signed receipt, and said, "Come on, take your time, I have to send a few more couriers." β
Hey, now those who send a courier have yin and yang eyes, is it that yin and yang eyes are already very common?
"You Fang Sanren Zhang Xiaofan: Hello! In view of your good folk reputation, the Pengcheng Branch of the Folk Taoist Association invites you to join, after joining the association, the association is responsible for all your expenses within three months, so that you can start your own business, so that you have a store of your own!
Join the conditions and complete the following tasks: Pengcheng Paranormal Event. Recently, the police applied for support from the Folk Taoist Association, and there were three supernatural incidents that revealed an unusual atmosphere:
One or two travelers stayed in a hotel in Pengcheng this month, and when they got up in the middle of the night, they found that their bodies were crawling with ants and their whole bodies were bloody. After investigation, the hotel itself met the hygiene standards, and no traces of ants were found in the backpacks of the passengers.
2. A patient who was seriously injured in a car accident, after being judged dead in an ambulance, suddenly went berserk and bit the doctor, and then died peacefully.
3. A man with no mental illness suddenly entered the kitchen one day and night and took a knife and slashed himself in front of his wife who was nine months pregnant.
The Association has determined that these three events are unusually linked, so if you want to enter the Association, please find out the truth of the matter! Thank you for taking the time to read this letter, your task contact is Mr. Niu Dafu, the contact number is on the cover of the letter, so far, over! β
After reading the letter, Zhang Xiaofan said to Xiaoliang: "Do you think I should join this folk Taoist association?" β
"How do I know you, there is no such thing as a free breakfast in the world." Xiao Liang is always so cynical.
Chen Yating voted in favor.
"Join, the Folk Taoist Association is to solve supernatural events, and the treatment is very good! Because they cooperate with the police, they are rewarded with a lot of money every time they complete a mission. Zhang Xiaofan and Xiaoliang looked at Chen Yating, surprised that she actually knew this, so she was embarrassed to say that "I was also from the Folk Taoist Association when I was alive, so I only knew so much." β
"You've done this before!?" Thinking that he had been pretending to be a master in front of Chen Yating, Zhang Xiaofan felt that his old face was hot, so he felt that he would turn the topic back: "Then if I join, will it restrict my freedom?" β
Chen Yating didn't think anything of it, after all, now that she is under the fence, she has to let people save some face, right?
She said: "No, the tasks issued by the Folk Taoist Association are non-mandatory, you can choose to do it or not, but you have to do it at least once a year." Once you've done this mission, you won't be able to do anything else this year. β
"Okay, done!" In order to make his life better in the future, in order to let his parents look down on him, Zhang Xiaofan has made up his mind! He said his thoughts: "After reading the letter just now, I have already seen a general idea, since the three things are inevitably related, then let's find the bitten doctor first!" I have a hunch that this isn't over yet! β
Three days later, in the Second People's Hospital of Pengcheng, a tired man and two ghosts chatted quietly.
Zhang Xiaofan said weakly: "When did you say that ghost will leave that doctor?" β
"It's so boring, you've asked this sentence three hundred and twenty-four times, and we're just sitting in the hall and looking into the emergency department, isn't it interesting?" Xiao Liang clasped his nose without a trace of dirt, and looked at the ceiling with empty eyes: "If I continue for a few more days, I think my three souls and seven spirits will fly away." β
Zhang Xiaofan rummaged through the newly bought satchel: "It's really boring to wait like this, otherwise?" Do you want to scare the snake? Just rush up and take down that ghost? β
"But we've been on guard for three days, and you haven't opened for three days, so you're not afraid that you won't have money to buy food?" Xiaoliang hadn't let Zhang Xiaofan incense for a long time, and he hadn't gone out to forage for food, and his whole body looked a little weak.
"What did you say?" Zhang Xiaofan took out a packet of potato chips from his bag and ate it, and looked at Xiaoliang with a wicked smile: "Don't you think it's more meaningful to have a store than starving to death?" β
Definitely on purpose! Xiao Liang ignored Zhang Xiaofan's action of eating potato chips, and said disdainfully: "Hehe, a human being who is greedy for money, I won't say anything." β
"Look! The ghost left the doctor! Chen Yating pointed to the ghost and said excitedly.
"Shhhh Calm down, we have to find out the truth, don't shout, hurry, keep up! Xiao Liang lifted his spirits and chased Zhang Xiaofan and Chen Yating all the way.
Zhang Xiaofan has always been curious, whether it is a movie or a novel, every time the protagonist wants to do something serious, it is always at night, why is this?
In such a calm night, the darkness seems very penetrating; In the alley without street lights, the moon doesn't seem to want to visit here, and darkness is the main theme of this alley at night.
"Strange, where did you go?" Zhang Xiaofan scratched his soft beard, a little confused.
Xiao Liang said: "Just your eyes, still playing tracking?" He went upstairs, right on the top floor! β
"How many floors do you know? Were you a dog in your previous life? Although Zhang Xiaofan wanted to praise him once, for some reason, every time he blurted out, it was not a good word.
"Damn it!" Xiao Liang gritted his teeth and pointed to the roof of an old building next to the alley: "The yin qi is so strong, do your yin and yang eyes grow on the dog's body?" Keep your eyes open and take a look! β
Zhang Xiaofan smiled embarrassedly, took out a toothpick and put it in his mouth, and said vaguely: "Blame me, there are no street lights, how can you see clearly at night." β
Chen Yating also looked at Xiao Liang's hand and said, "No, there are two faint yang qi on the roof of the building, and there are living people!" β
"A living person? How can it be! With so much yin energy gathered, let alone ordinary people, people who have attained the Tao have to be drained of yang energy after living for a long time, right? Xiao Liang was a little unconvinced, but still said: "Be careful, if there are living people, you can't let go of your hands and feet when you fight." β
"Still fighting? Brother, I've always outwitted me, okay! "Zhang Xiaofan has no cultivation at all, let alone Taoism and the like; For fighting ghosts, Zhang Xiaofan wants to be as far away as he wants.
Xiao Liang tugged at the corners of his mouth: "Young man, you are too naΓ―ve!" β
Chen Yating also nodded in agreement: "En! β
"Why do I think you two are laughing at me?" Seeing the mocking eyes of the two of them, Zhang Xiaofan finally realized that the two ghosts were actually laughing at him: "Forget it, don't worry about you, go and see the situation in the house first!" β
The roof of the building is not an open-air luxury room for a rich family, but a small tin room, which will be blown whirring when the wind blows, and it seems that it will fall apart at any time.
Zhang Xiaofan approached slightly, and he could clearly hear the conversation inside through the crack in the door.
A five or six-year-old boy faced the direction of Zhang Xiaofan's peeping, and he said: "Sister Xiaomei, we have to pay the rent tomorrow, and if we don't pay it, the landlord will drive us away." β
The girl, who was about fourteen years old, turned her back to Zhang Xiaofan, she touched the boy's head, and said to the child in a gentle voice: "It's okay, Ah Liang, we should be able to live for a few days, the landlord is still lying in the hospital!" β
The boy known as Ah Liang touched his shriveled stomach and said aggrievedly: "Sister Xiaomei, I'm hungry!" β
"Tomorrow, my sister will find you something to eat, you can sleep first!"
Not long after Ah Liang slowly fell asleep, Xiaomei opened her mouth and spoke to the ghost of a little boy in the corner: "Ah Shan, haven't you found a chance to do it yet?" β
"There is no chance, the doctor rarely goes out alone after his hand is injured, and it is difficult to get started." The ghost Ahzen seems frustrated that he can't complete the task sooner.
Xiaomei asked again, "What about the other two guys?" β
"They left by train, and I couldn't get separated, I couldn't catch up with them." The ghost's expression is even more ugly.
"Forget it, those two people are not very important, mainly the doctor, this murderer, he took the lives of his parents! Be sure to find a chance to kill him! Xiaomei calmed down for a while, took out a bowl of things from the lid of the pot, and said, "Come, drink this bowl of blood!" β
"Sister Xiaomei, I don't want to drink it anymore, if I drink your blood again, you will die." Ah Shan took a step back, tears welling up in his eyes.
Xiaomei smiled indifferently, turned around and wiped away her tears; This also allowed Zhang Xiaofan to see her appearance, her face, a large area full of burn marks.
She said: "It doesn't matter if I die, at least Ah Liang is still alive in our family, drink it quickly!" β
"No wonder the yin qi is so heavy, it turns out that it is caused by eating and drinking the blood of relatives." Chen Yating frowned and explained: "Relatives, when you are alive, your flesh and blood are heart-to-heart, and after you die, there is also a trace of bonding, feeding the souls of your dead relatives with blood is a strange blood sacrifice, which can improve your soul cultivation in a short period of time, so that ordinary souls are not afraid of the sun's ability, the only drawback is that because this ability is not its own cultivation, the yin qi will become very heavy, and if you want to maintain this ability all the time, you have to drink it once every three days, one bowl each time!" Each time you drink it, your power will increase, but the ghost itself's soul will become weak until it is gone. β
"Looks like a person with a story." Zhang Xiaofan was a little unbearable, and whispered: "I think we should give up this mission, after all, people are reasonable to take revenge, right?" β
Xiao Liang was stiff at this time: "According to what you say, the world will not be in chaos!" β
"I think you are unreasonable, last time I followed you to punish evil and promote good, this time others punished evil and promoted good, why don't you give it?" Zhang Xiaofan couldn't understand Xiaoliang's thinking.
"It's different, did we kill people last time?" Xiao Liang pointed to Xiao Mei and Ah Shan in the house, and said loudly: "Look at them, they are almost crazy, they only think about killing people and taking revenge!" Especially that Xiaomei, she didn't know how to get the blood sacrifice from there, so she didn't want to feed her dead brother to drink blood! β
"You have a point, right?" Zhang Xiaofan seemed to understand whether he understood or not, and gave up arguing with Xiaoliang.
Chen Yating thought for a while and said, "It's not impossible, let Xiaofan try to communicate with them and see if he can solve this matter satisfactorily." β
"Then I'll go!" Zhang Xiaofan took a deep breath, knocked on the door, and said, "May I come in?" β
After a while, Xiaomei took a scarf to cover her face, opened the door a crack, and asked cautiously, "Are you?" β
"I know your plan, you better give up, obviously you can't hold it anymore, right?" Zhang Xiaofan went straight to the point and said what he wanted to say: "You see that your brother has a yellow face and thin muscles, you don't have to say anything, if you continue like this, as long as you feed your dead brother one more time, you yourself will go with him." β
Xiaomei listened to Zhang Xiaofan's words, her heart tightened, and she said madly: "I don't have to worry about you!" β
'Bang! Xiaomei slammed the door and didn't even let Zhang Xiaofan in.
Xiao Liang, who was watching from the side, said sarcastically: "I also said that I am very good at psychology, but I haven't eaten a closed door!" β
As for Chen Yating, she just covered her stomach and smiled, and she couldn't get up.
