Zhao Jing was stunned when she said this, so I asked her, did you see that thing? Zhao Jing nodded. I said what does it look like? Zhao Jing's face began to become a little frightened, and her hands began to tremble slightly, she said, just now I went upstairs to help you want to pull Hu Zongren out, but I soon saw the ghost hand that grabbed Hu Zongren's ankle, I didn't have time to think about it at the time, I wanted to rush in and break the hand, but when I walked to the heels, I saw a faceless woman, wearing white clothes, curly hair was about the same length as me, its right hand grabbed Hu Zongren, but its face seemed to be staring at me.

Zhao Jing said that the ghost's whole body was almost in the closet, as if it was lying in the direction of the wardrobe, but it looked at me and didn't do anything to me, so I didn't have time to think about it so much, so I tried to knock out its hand. Zhao Jing said that that trick was also a method learned by her master, and the principle is that the left hand and the right hand belong to yin and yang, and after yin and yang are combined, they will produce power. I didn't think much about whether this trick would work or not, but the situation was critical, and I just used it. After I hit its hand, I saw its other hand reach out to cover its injured hand, and it seemed to be electrocuted, and then it began to scream at me.

Listening to Zhao Jing say this, I suddenly recalled the scream I heard just now, when I was a child, I used to play a game, that is, to cover my mouth with a piece of white paper, and then my voice became very cool because of the isolation of the paper and its own resonance. So I even thought that the scream I heard at that time was that of a man with a thick sheet of paper over his mouth, the only difference was that it was very high-pitched, but it was very hoarse.

Zhao Jing continued, I felt very scared when I heard its cry, so I retreated and helped Hu Zongren move it down. Generally speaking, most ghosts will choose to fight back if they encounter an attack, but this one did not chase it out, but just slammed the door of the room shut. Zhao Jing asked me, do you think this is the relationship between it and the rope nail at the door?

I shook my head, not to say no, but I really didn't know what to do. With the strength of this ghost we saw, I guess my rope nail can't trap it, but it didn't chase it out, is it trying to let us go? Hu Zongren asked Zhao Jing and said, then what is the situation you rode on me just now, and I am not a horse. Zhao Jing's face turned red again, she said, Otherwise, what can be done, I see that you are dying, and I did artificial respiration with you in a hurry, do you think I want to touch you, I am stinking and coaxing. I also added to Hu Zongren, that's really the case, you really have to thank your subordinate Miss Zhao, the professionalism of the artificial respiration posture just now, you kid must be dead.

Hu Zongren sat up and said to Zhao Jing a little unconvinced, that... Then thank you. I didn't expect me to have such a bad attitude towards you, and you came to save me, thank you. Hu Zongren is not very good at words, I have always known that he is such an arrogant person to say thank you to a person he hates, this is definitely a feat.

Zhao Jing did not answer Hu Zongren, and Hu Zongren did not continue to speak after saying this, so for a while, the room fell into silence, and the atmosphere was a little awkward. I suddenly realized that Zhao Jing's feelings for Hu Zongren seem to have undergone some subtle changes at this time, and this change must be dangerous in my eyes and Hu Zongren, because I am familiar with Fu Yunni's jealous and hateful personality, so if today's events make Fu Yunni know, it is estimated that Zhao Jing's life will not be so good. So I laughed and said, okay, since it's okay, let's discuss how to deal with that guy upstairs.

Hu Zongren stood up, still clutching his injured neck. He walked up to the rope nail I had knotted on the stairs, and said to me, "You probably can't control this little thing, let's be safe, I'll go up and put a charm on the bedroom door and the stairs here, at least we won't be so fragile, and we will have some reaction time before we are broken." He said as if my nails were useless, which made me feel a little uncomfortable, but I also admit in my heart that now, on the one hand, I am gradually tired of these things, and on the other hand, I have to admit that the difficulty of these cases has far exceeded my expectations.

After Hu Zongren hung up the charm, he went back downstairs and asked me right, where did Mr. Du go? I snorted and said, he made an excuse to buy water, and then slipped away, I guess he won't be back for a while. Hu Zongren said with a smile, he is really timid. So he sat down and said to Zhao Jing, I accidentally scratched your ass just now, I'm sorry, I'm a habitual action. He spoke in a gentlemanly tone, like a rascal who molested women. Zhao Jing glared at him and ignored him. Hu Zongren turned his head and said to me, I thought about it when I posted the talisman just now, if this ghost itself wants to harm us or that Mr. Du, this is definitely an excellent opportunity at this moment, it can completely break through these things and hurt us, but it didn't do this, in your opinion, does this mean that this ghost is not so hateful? I said that I don't know how to do it, and I really rarely encounter this situation, and sometimes I even envy Hu Zongren's simple and crude method, but I can't do it.

Hu Zongren continued, at first, when we went upstairs, you probably also noticed that there were only traces of ghosts in the corridor and bedroom on the second floor of this room, so how did it appear, how did it appear directly on the second floor out of thin air. I continued to shake my head, I can't even distinguish whether this ghost is a demon or not, if it is really a faceless ghost described in the codex of the predecessors, then its nature may not necessarily be a demon, just now Hu Zongren and Zhao Jing attacked it twice in a row, and still failed to provoke it, that means that the two attacks just now did not make it really angry.

Hu Zongren asked me, apart from the compass, is there any way for you to measure the attributes of this ghost, whether it is good or evil? I thought about it and said, yes, yes, but I don't use those things very often, and I don't have them with me. Hu Zongren asked me what I needed, and I said I needed red string, chopsticks, steamed buns, and copper coins. Zhao Jing said, I have copper coins on me, but it is not the Five Emperors coin, but the round hole money of our Taoist ghost fighting. Hu Zongren also added that he dared to say, who doesn't have chopsticks and bowls at home, but it's so late, where to find steamed buns. Zhao Jing stood up and said, let me take a look at the refrigerator in Mr. Du's house first.

So Zhao Jing went directly into the kitchen to look for it, and after Zhao Jing left, Hu Zongren made a gesture of grasping me with both hands, and then his face was full of obscene smiles. I gave him a blank look, not wanting to follow up on his topic. Soon Zhao Jing came out of the kitchen, holding two loaves of bread in her hand and said to me, no steamed buns, only bread, can you use it? I said let's try it, it should be possible.

So I asked Zhao Jing for a copper coin, then cut a piece of my own red rope, found two chopsticks and a bowl from the kitchen, and then filled most of the bowl with half a bowl of water. The three of us took all these things to the hallway on the second floor, and I looked around and found that the place was very sheltered from the wind, with almost no wind. So I put two loaves of bread on the ground, and put the bowl with water in the middle of the two loaves of bread, so that the three things were in a straight line. Then I took out the red rope, passed through the money hole, and then tied a knot, and then tied the two ends of the red rope to the heads of the two chopsticks, and then inserted the two chopsticks on the two breads respectively, adjusted the distance so that the red rope between the chopsticks hung down, and the edge of the copper coin hanging in the middle of the red rope just touched the water.

When I was ready, I fiddled with the coin a little bit with my hand so that it was relatively still. Then I asked Hu Zongren for three pieces of money paper, and burned them by the bowl, chanting as he burned them:

"Heaven and earth are on each side, between good and evil, if it is a ghost, it will bow its head, and if it is a god, it will turn in circles."

When the money paper is burned out, the copper coin begins to rotate on the water surface of the bowl like a spinning top, because the wire is tethered, so after turning for a while, the line has been twisted, and then begins to rotate in the opposite direction, the edge of the copper coin is always on the water surface, and the water in the bowl is also rippled in a circle.

Hu Zongren asked me, what does this mean? I explained that this is a more recommended method of ghost detection in Zhu Youshu, if anyone does not have a compass at home or does not know how to read a compass, this will be a good method, it must be out of the range of the idol, and can only be used in the range of no wind, burning money paper is burning to this land, that is, the range of this house, that is private territory. And the meaning of that mantra is already obvious, most of the mantras of Zhu Yushu are relatively vernacular, and there are some slight changes because of the different dialects in various places, the so-called "if it is a ghost, bow your head, and if you are a god, you will turn in circles", this is a kind of question from a living person to a ghost, and a connection must be established between people and ghosts because of this question and answer, and when the ghost hears this mantra, whether it wants it or not, it must answer, and it must be an honest answer.

Zhao Jing slapped her face and said that it was so amazing, it looked so powerful. I went on to explain that the so-called "bowing the head" means that the copper coins begin to hit the water surface like dragonflies touching the water, and the "circle" is what we see, so there is no need to explain. Zhao Jing asked me, what do you have to say, if you are a ghost, you will bow your head, and if you are a god, you will turn in circles? Is there a god here? Isn't this a ghost? I smiled and said to Zhao Jing, this is the difference in words, Chinese people have been more subtle since ancient times, the so-called crepe crepe is almost this meaning, for example, if you want to poop, you have to say a compliment, you have to touch and with a woman, you have to say that it is a joy of fish and water, anyway, it is almost the same meaning, the ghost here refers to those evil ghosts, harming people, although we all know that the Tao is also a ghost, but because the original intention is not to harm people, so it is an honorific title.

Zhao Jing sighed and said, then, isn't this harmful?
