Chapter 9: Man Dead?
After a night, my whole body seemed to have been closed from the ghost gate, and my whole body was weak, and cold sweat broke out. When I returned to the dormitory, Liu Daring and Xu Kun both looked at me with strange eyes, as if they were looking at an antiquity that had just come out of the soil.
Of course, the night was wasted outside, and the meeting I made with the master was not carried out, but this night made me deeply understand that this new city is not only full of endless surprises, but also full of unspeakable dangers. And last night's events may have been nothing more than an appetizer.
"If I had escaped a little slower last night, I'm afraid I would have appeared in the morning newspaper by now." Sitting on the bed, I gasped and cursed in a low voice about last night's misfortune. At this moment, Liu and Xu had also come to my side, looking at me with a worried look.
"Ouyang, what did you do yesterday? Did you know that you're the only student in the whole school who didn't come home all night on the first day of reporting? Liu Daring's words revealed a little helplessness, although he knew that I must have my reason for not returning all night, but our dormitory manager didn't think so.
Early this morning, as soon as I entered the door, the dormitory manager rushed to our dormitory, asked me long and short questions, and asked me to write down where I had been and who I had seen last night. If I don't write it, he will report my name, and then the school punishment, the tutor's criticism and other things will continue to reach my side one after another.
Our dormitory manager is a middle-aged uncle with a stubble on his face, and he may be in the middle of menopause, so he will be angry about anything when he farts big, which is really similar to my master. Even so, I didn't have a good impression of him at all, but for the sake of the peace of the whole dormitory, I wrote everything that happened last night as he said.
However, all what I wrote was compiled by me, after all, the Sacrificial Workshop is a secret of our Sacrificial Dao world, and outsiders have no right to know it, so how could I be stupid enough to write it on the review.
After writing the so-called review, I explained to Liu Daring and took Xu Kun to the cemetery I went to yesterday. I'm going to go to that old man now to ask about the matter, anyway, I got on that ghost car yesterday because of him.
However, that old man is weird, and I'm worried that if I fall out with him, I won't be able to deal with it alone. So I specially brought Xu Kun to strengthen my courage, even if Xu Kun can't help me with anything, then he can give me a strong momentum.
I took a taxi and came to the cemetery, and without hesitation, I rushed into the security room, only to see two young men in the security room at the moment. As for the old man, he is completely gone at the moment.
"Hello, don't know what's going on with you?" One of the security guards came up to me suspiciously and asked in a low voice.
And my next words made the two security guards tremble involuntarily: "Hello, I'll find an uncle who is watching the cemetery here with you, he is not too tall, he is very thin, and the point is a little yin and yang." ”
"You, you can't be talking about him, right?" After listening to my words, the security guard sitting in front of the computer immediately became nervous, and took out a photo pressed under the table and handed it to me, his words mixed with a slight tremor, making his voice noisy.
Seeing the expressions of the two people in front of me become so weird, the doubts in my heart are even worse, after all, I am just looking for someone now, as for scaring them like this?
Smiling helplessly, I cast my eyes on the photo held by the man, only to see that the old man in the photo was the old man who gave me ice cigarettes yesterday and lured me into a ghost car.
"Yes, it's him, but what about the others? I had something important to do with him. As soon as I finished speaking, the two security guards in front of me immediately turned around and ran away, and coincidentally got under the table in unison, looking extremely frightened and really a little unexpected to me.
"You, the person you are looking for died more than ten years ago, and it is said that he was hit by a bus and died." As he spoke, one of the security guards pointed to the photo that had fallen on the ground and timidly explained.
"No, I saw him last night, he was in this security room, and he was still in that cabinet" As the words blurted out, my eyes also moved to the corner of the quaint cabinet not far away, and I saw that there were still cabinets in that corner at the moment, and some were just some useless sundries.
"What nonsense are you talking about, there is no one in the security room for a week, the doors are locked, and outsiders can't get in at all. The two of us just came to report today, but I didn't expect to encounter this on the first day of work, which was too unlucky. Looking at me timidly at the moment, the man said timidly.
And at this moment, I could feel that the two security guards looked at me with obvious strangeness, as if I was also a ghost.
Helpless, I had to deal with the two of them softly, and then turned around and walked towards the security room, and Xu Kun behind me was also puzzled at the moment, and asked me in a low voice: "Ouyang, listen to what they mean, did you encounter dirty things again last night?" ”
"Isn't it, did you see this morning's morning paper? If I had been a little slower last night, I would have added one more piece of information to the morning newspaper this morning, a bus crash and a person was killed. As I spoke, my expression turned angry.
I'm really annoyed, yesterday I wanted to talk to my master and his old man about the weird things about the school. But I didn't expect to be delayed by this old guy, and what's more serious is that I almost let this old guy die for this. Looking back now, there was indeed a faint eerie aura in the security room last night.
Last night, the house was lit up with dim lights, and there was the influence of ice smoke, so I didn't suspect that I had too much suspicion of the old man. If I had been more careful last night, I might have caught the old guy's flaws, and I wouldn't have been so embarrassed.
"Ouyang, you didn't come back all night last night because of that bus? Eh, thanks to your quick movements, if you had slowed down, I wouldn't have seen you today. As if he was afraid of last night's incident, Xu Kun's expression became much more panicked.
Helplessly glanced at Xu Kun beside me, I smiled bitterly, then turned around and came to the house, and after pocketing the photo that fell on the ground, I took Xu Kun back.
I'm going to try to meet with the master again tonight, and if it goes well, then I'll be sure to ask about it. After all, my personal safety is at stake, and if I don't understand it, it's hard for me to guarantee when it will reappear next to me.
When I got back to my dorm, I didn't do anything, but fell asleep on my bed. Now I must be mentally refreshed, otherwise when I stay up late tonight, if there is a phenomenon of drowsiness, it will be more than worth the loss.
When I woke up, the lights on my bedside were on, but there was no one in the room, as if they knew I was going to do something tonight, so they hid out. But it's good that they don't let me do things more smoothly.
After sitting up from the bed, coming to the table and eating a few bites of the dinner that Liu and Xu bought for me, I looked at my watch, it was already more than eleven o'clock, and I had to hurry up and prepare for the next thing, otherwise I would be a little caught off guard when it approached the hour.
He took all the materials out of the black bag and laid them out in front of him. Skillfully grind three cat whiskers into powder and mix them with red lake juice and pour them into the cold ancient well water.
When the clock rang twelve, my hands were immediately folded into one. After a while, a set of finger seals that I am very skilled at slowly appearing on the tips of my ten fingers.
As soon as the thought flashed, my fingertips suddenly poked at the developing paper in front of me, and in an instant, the five developing papers were glued together as if they had been pulled, and they were precisely covered on the surface of the spirit mirror that I had already placed.
The moment the developer paper made contact with the mirror, a dazzling blue light suddenly appeared in the entire dormitory. Not only that, but even the bedside lamp at my bedside, which was emitting white light, was gradually affected by this blue light, and then turned into a faint blue light.
At this time, I am waiting for the time to come, as long as the light on the mirror turns from blue to red, I can apply the prepared ancient well water on the developing paper, and then the master and his old man can communicate with my soul.
As time passed, the blue light on the mirror still showed no signs of attenuation. The master once told me that if the blue light on the mirror has not disappeared for a long time, it means that he has something to deal with on his side, so it is inconvenient to meet me for the time being.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel a little depressed, and the knots on my fingers gradually faded. But at the moment when the mirror light was about to fade, a red glow that I had been waiting for for a long time suddenly appeared in front of my eyes, which made me rejoice.
Hurriedly straighten out the seals on both hands again, and then smear the prepared ancient well water on the developing paper. After a while, a middle-aged man's suddenly appeared in front of me on the mirror.
This middle-aged man has two glaring scars on his face, his hair is slightly gray, and although his face does not have a few wrinkles, he looks quite old, which may also have a lot to do with his profession.
After all, every Sacrificial Dao Heavenly Master is a person who walks in the Yin and Yang realms, and if he has been affected by Yin Qi for a long time, his face will naturally look a lot older.
After seeing the man's appearance in the mirror, I couldn't help but feel a little excited in my heart, and immediately shouted without hesitation: "Master." ”
