Chapter 202: The Beholder in the Dark
As soon as the promise was finished, the atmosphere here became awkward, and finally the promise got up and said that he was tired and wanted to go to sleep, so he left alone, leaving only Xu Xin and I looking at each other.
The embarrassing atmosphere lasted for a few seconds, and I sighed, breaking the previous silence, looking at Xu Xin, my face was full of guilt, if it weren't for me, I'm afraid she was still preparing for the New Year.
When I opened my mouth to say something, Xu Xin waved his hand slightly, and a smile barely squeezed out of his pale face, which was extremely gentle, and only that Xu Xin would show it to me in my memory.
"What have you suffered...... More than me"
After returning to the room, I couldn't sleep, I couldn't mistake Xu Xin's previous smile, could it be that her memory was restored? But if it's really what I think, why didn't she reveal it to me?
I couldn't calm my mind, so I sat on the bed and began to meditate, gradually merging my mind into this world, and gradually, I seemed to feel that I was integrated with heaven and earth, and some small movements around me, such as dust settled, were in my senses.
Of course, the scope of this perception is very small, and it is not as exaggerated as the so-called idea in fantasy novels.
In the next few days, I don't know why I always felt that someone was watching me, I told Xu Xu and Xu Xin about it, what puzzled me was that they didn't feel like me, and what they said might be because I was too stimulated by the Zhou clan before, and the grass and trees were all soldiers.
Can...... Is it really a soldier?
At night, I sat alone on the bed breathing, feeling the changes in the airflow around me, and slowly, when I was about to enter a state of concentration, there was a trace of yin in this room that was piled up with antiques.
As soon as the yin qi appeared, my originally closed eyes suddenly opened, and I looked straight in front of me, not to mention that my eyes are fiery now, but at least I can see ghosts directly, if there are really any ghosts that don't have long eyes to trouble me, I can also clearly distinguish them.
The yin qi was very weak, and I found that this yin qi was actually coming from the wall not far away, and the other side of the wall happened to be the room where Master Xu was promised.
Thinking of this, my heart "chuckled" for a moment, for fear that the old woman would have something in case.
But as soon as I left the bed, the feeling of being watched suddenly increased, and in a trance I seemed to hear someone calling me from afar.
"Bang ......"
A strong wind blew the old-fashioned windows open.
The wind carried gusts of cold, and as soon as I entered the room, it kept running around, causing the temperature of the room to drop a lot in an instant.
I reluctantly walked over and tried to close the window, which is the case with this old house, which would come from time to time with such a surprise.
There were a lot of trees growing outside this villa, and as soon as I put my hand on the window, I happened to see a figure standing on a big tree not far away, and it seemed to be peeking at our villa.
Dressed in black, with a ghost face.
If it weren't for the problem of the right angle for me to see through the moonlight, with the concealment ability of the ghost face, I am afraid that when this guy attacks me again, I may not know it, and I will probably be killed in such a daze.
Ghostface seemed to notice that I was looking at him at this point, and then with a wave of his right hand at me, he threw out a sharp blade and stabbed at me quickly.
"Yang Fu Breaking."
Without saying a word, I hurriedly threw out the yang talisman, and collided with the blade in the air, bursting with a piercing sound.
The ghost face was very mysterious, it seemed to be part of the darkness, and when I looked at the tree again, I couldn't find any trace of him.
The movement on my side naturally attracted Xu Yu and Xu Xin, and after hearing my words, both of them couldn't help frowning.
"Our whereabouts have been exposed, today I will help you detain your soul, and then Xu Xin and we will act separately, you go to find some helpers to come to Changsha to help me, and I, it's time to meet Zhu Yu." A cold light flashed in my eyes, Xiao Nannan's matter has touched my bottom line, even if there is no matter today, I am ready to talk to Zhu Yu tomorrow.
Xu Xin looked straight at me, and left my room with Xu Yu without saying anything.
Of course, before they left, I also asked about the old woman next door, of course, I didn't say anything about the yin qi, but the promise told me that nothing happened to the old woman, and she was next door before.
This puzzled me, what was the matter with that trace of yin qi before?
The equipment for the soul detention has already been prepared, but my body has been out of state, so I haven't done it for a long time.
When I went downstairs, I happened to see that Xu Xu asked people to set up the altar and try to prepare for me to open the altar, I have to say that this girl's work efficiency is indeed very high, in just a few minutes, all the qiē has been ready.
On the altar, there are yellow charms, incense burners, chicken blood, peach wood swords and other items, promising that this girl is quite considerate, and she actually prepared a robe for me, just like the kind that Uncle Ying often wears in ghost hunting movies.
Of course, there are still some differences between the kind of robe on TV and the real robe, and the real robe will also be engraved with demon-subduing runes, which can play a certain restraining role on ghosts.
As soon as I was ready, I put on my robe and picked up the three sticks of incense, bowed three times to the four directions, and then inserted them into the incense burner.
"Heaven and earth learn from it, the altar of law is opened, do my best, detain the soul, and be as urgent as the law."
I stamped my hands and pointed at the incense burner, and immediately there was an explosion in the incense burner, and the incense ash flew up, making a haze in front of me.
I jerked forward with my right hand, grabbed some of the ashes in my hand, and recited them as swiftly as a command, and then sprinkled all the ashes out of my hand.
"Boom ......"
The ash dust from before it was settled, and as soon as it came into contact with the incense ash in my hand, there was another explosion.
The incense ash burned, turning into a little fire, and the light around me was incomparably brighter.
The fire was short-lived, quickly dissipated, and when I had done this, I took a note that promised to me with the name and birth date of the previous person written on it.
The soul to be detained is named Zhou Jian.
In fact, I still have some small questions in my heart, such as why this Zhou Jian came to see Xu Xing, and how did Xu Xing get this birthday.
But now, the arrow is on the string, and no matter how much I think about it, these issues will not change this ritual.
I lifted the brush on the altar, dipped it in chicken blood, and then transcribed the eight characters of my birthday on the yellow charm that had been cut in advance.
"The soul of the dead returns, leaving no one in the world, the sound of the wind, the voice of my word, now I enforce the law, detain the soul, and be as urgent as the law." My right hand trembled, and under the operation of the Dao method, I directly ignited this yellow talisman, and then threw it in the air, and the yellow talisman quickly turned into ashes.
The moment this qiē was finished, I keenly felt that a trace of yin qi had appeared in the air.
