"What's going on in the hospital? Why does Sister Xiaoqin keep saying that it's dangerous? Nalan Ning chased after Tang Yichuan and asked, "As soon as I entered the hospital, I smelled something unusual, did something come before?" ”

"I almost fell to my death." Tang Yichuan said, "There is indeed something, and it is still coming for me, but I don't know what it is." ”

"Murong is really right, they will definitely come to you while you are injured now." Nalan Ning Road.

Tang Yichuan nodded: "It's a good opportunity to kill me now, I'm no different from ordinary people, just casually my little life will be gone." ”

"It looks like I've had to be by your side for the past few days." Nalan Ning said and pushed the fox who was sleeping on the hospital bed, "Did you hear me, don't sleep." ”

The fox stretched his waist, stretched his paws twice, turned his head and looked at Nalan Ning with an innocent face, Tang Yichuan is not completely well, it has to be this virtue all the time, and the fox under this virtue has no way to protect Tang Yichuan at all.

Nalan Ning: "...... Forget it, go ahead and sleep yours. ”

The fox rolled over, but it didn't sleep, but it couldn't speak, and when it wanted to speak, it couldn't make a sound, and finally buried its head in depression.

Someone knocked on the door, the fox's ears stood up, and Nalan Ning and Tang Yichuan all turned their heads to look at the door.

Tang Yichuan couldn't see it, but he heard a voice: "It's the police." Please come inβ€”"

The door opened, and sure enough, a few policemen came in, and Xiaoqin followed them, explaining that the deceased had nothing to do with them, and that they just didn't go in when they took the elevator.

"We've seen the surveillance. You guys hesitate as if you know something is going to happen to the elevator. Mr. Tang, is that? I'm the captain of the criminal police, well-organized. Please help us with our investigation. A criminal policeman walked in, stood in front of Tang Yichuan and said, It was a man about thirty years old.

"Yes." Tang Yichuan said.

Jing Ran glanced at Tang Yichuan twice, and his hand shook in front of Tang Yichuan's eyes.

"No need to shake it. I can't see it. Tang Yichuan said.

Jing Ran: "...... Can't see you still know what I'm doing? ”

"Feeling. People all have feelings, you close your eyes, and you will feel it when someone is staring at you, but everyone feels that Cheng DΓΉ's sensitivity is different......" Tang Yichuan paused, "It's like a question you want to ask me." I really didn't know it was going to happen until the elevator was going to happen, but I had a feeling. It's the kind of feeling that people often have when they encounter a crisis, so I never got on the elevator. ”

"Really? Surveillance shows that you seem to be saying that there are other people in the elevator. You can't see it, but you feel it? Jing Ran asked while letting the person next to him record what Tang Yichuan said.

Xiaoqin was next to her and wanted to answer something for Tang Yichuan, but was stopped by a female police officer.

Xiaoqin is a nurse, but she is extremely protective of her shortcomings, thinking that Tang Yichuan is her patient and should be taken care of by her, and Tang Yichuan should not be allowed to cause any trouble. This matter must have nothing to do with Tang Yichuan, so the police shouldn't have come over to ask him so much.

Qin said there was no one in the elevator. Maybe it's my delusion. I can't see it after all. Tang Yichuan smiled, he didn't tell the truth, this kind of truth is told to people who don't understand, and others won't believe it if they hear it, but when you are a psychopath.

"Yes, how can you ask such a question to an invisible person. It doesn't feel as good as the eyes. What the eye sees is real. Xiaoqin chimed in beside her, "We really didn't see anything at that time, there was no one in the elevator, it was empty." It was all shown in the surveillance, and we just hesitated. Later, the woman also went up on her own, and it has nothing to do with us, so don't induce my patient to say the wrong thing. It's almost there, the patient needs to rest. ”

"Miss nurse, we won't affect the patient's rest, let's leave soon, just ask a few more words, please cooperate with the investigation, this incident looks like murder, if you can't find it-" The female police officer who stopped Xiaoqin next to her was glared at by Jing Ran next to her halfway through speaking, and immediately closed her mouth and didn't dare to continue.

The nurse glanced at Jing Ran, then at Tang Yichuan, and didn't speak for a long time.

Jing Ran then asked a few more words, and Tang Yichuan answered skillfully, hiding what he knew, but he didn't talk nonsense.

"Thank you for your cooperation." Jing Ran left with a few of his own police officers.

After going out, Tang Yichuan heard a few little police officers saying that he might have a problem, how could a blind man be so powerful and feel everything, maybe his eyes were not blind, his eyes were good and he was hiding in the hospital, and it was very likely that he was a dangerous element with some purpose.

The voice gradually drifted away, and Xiaoqin said indignantly: "This group of policemen who can't do anything except eat, they don't know what to do alive, the investigation is not clear, and they are still chirping crookedly, asking non-stop questions." Every time. ”

Tang Yichuan said: "Let them go, they are also working." ”

Xiaoqin glared at Tang Yichuan, then at Nalan Ning, and wanted to say something but didn't say anything, "Since the family is here, I don't care." Family, keep an eye on this man, don't let him run around anymore, no one will be able to protect him if there is any accident. I heard what the police said just now, which means that he may be a serial killer, intentionally killing people, and then he may want to continue to kill, and he doesn't know who he kills, who is unlucky to kill whom, and who runs around and kills whom, so you be careful, the murderer's three free foreheads are not written on the face, not to mention that even if they are written on the face, you can't see it. ”

When Xiaoqin went out, Tang Yichuan continued to discuss this matter with Nalan Ning.

What Xiaoqin said is actually right, Tang Yichuan is still in danger, so you have to be careful.

If it was really just a simple serial killer, there was no need to be afraid at all, but his enemy was not an ordinary thing, the yin and yang tree had disappeared, his mana had been damaged, and even his eyes had not fully recovered. Although it is no problem to deal with simple ghosts, if it encounters something more troublesome, Tang Yichuan may not be able to deal with it.

Nalan Ning and Tang Yichuan felt that they still had to catch the things in the hospital, if they were still in the hospital, it would be a disaster, even if Tang Yichuan had nothing to do. It's also very likely that someone else will bump into it.

"Looks like we're not idle anymore, we need to find that thing." Tang Yichuan said, "I don't know what they got out this time." ”

"It's not like the breath of a ghost, I don't know if you feel it, as soon as I entered the hospital, I felt that breath very special, it didn't seem to be the same as what we had encountered before." Nalan Ning's brows furrowed slightly, thinking that he had encountered a troublesome opponent.

"I'm not sure about that, I should feel the ghost. But it came too quickly and disappeared too quickly, so I can't be entirely sure. Tang Yichuan said.

"It's a bit difficult to hunt it." Nalan Ning said, "You have to be as careful as possible these days. ”

"With the black cat here, I shouldn't be in much danger, but it's really difficult to hunt, after all, it's just the two of us. By the way, did the person Chu Yan say when he would come? Tang Yichuan said.

"Sister Yan said that it should come to us today, and it can't see the light. It can be a little difficult to move during the day, but it should appear at night. Nalan Ning said.

In the afternoon, Nalan Ning stayed in Tang Yichuan's ward. During this period, except for nurse Xiaoqin, who came to deliver medicine, no one else came.

In the evening, Nalan Ning went to buy food for Tang Yichuan, and Xiaoqin came over at this time, and it seemed that she came over specially when she was staring at Nalan Ning and leaving.

The door was closed by Xiao Qin, and Xiao Qin walked quickly to Tang Yichuan's side. Then he said, "I have something to talk to you about." ”

"What's the matter?" Tang Yichuan sat on the edge of the bed, holding the black cat, feeling the power of the black cat, he wanted to know what death was and what kind of divine beast it was. But I can't feel it, the black cat sleeps most of the time, and it doesn't need to eat or drink, and when it wakes up, it stretches its waist, jumps around on the windowsill and comes back to sleep.

Glancing at the black cat in Tang Yichuan's arms, Xiaoqin said: "Your heart is quite big, and you still have the heart to raise pets and play with cats at this time." I'll tell you business, did you have some trouble, that's why you hid in the hospital? For example, if you have any enemies, and then you are hunted down by the enemy, you have nowhere to go, and you think the hospital is safer, so you pretend to be blind and come to the hospital? What happened during the day was what your enemies prepared to kill you, but you avoided it, and it turned out that the woman died for you? ”

"You've got a lot of imagination."

"I'm not imaginative, it's the result of my careful thinking. Don't underestimate me, just say, I'm right. Xiaoqin said, "You said that the people around you will be in danger, isn't that what you mean?" Since you're going to remind me that it's dangerous to follow you, why don't you remind your family, the little girl who comes to see you every day, aren't you worried about what's going on with her? If you really have an enemy, and the other party has already killed someone, you can call the police. Why didn't you say it when the police came? ”

"......" Tang Yichuan looked up at Xiao Qin, "You really want to know?" ”

"Of course."

"Then let me ask you, do the police catch ghosts?"

"How can the police catch ghosts, and they are not Taoist priests."

"Then if my enemy is a ghost, do you think I can sue the police?" Tang Yichuan suddenly raised his eyebrows, and then laughed.

"Find me happy again!" Xiaoqin glared at Tang Yichuan, who was smiling hippie, "I'm telling you the truth, if someone really wants to kill you, you should sue the police." ”

"Seriously, I met a ghost!" The smile on the corner of Tang Yichuan's mouth looked a little terrifying, "So you'd better not get too close to me, you'll be haunted by fierce ghosts at that time." ”

Xiaoqin was so angry with Tang Yichuan that after saying a few words to Tang Yichuan, she felt that Tang Yichuan was completely helpless, and she didn't bother to pay attention to Tang Yichuan, so she turned around and left directly.

As a result, after going out for a few minutes, I was a little uneasy, but I still came back to find Tang Yichuan, "Even if it's a ghost, you have to find someone who catches ghosts." What the hell, what is the specific situation, sue me, I'll help you find a Taoist priest to take a look. ”

Tang Yichuan was persuaded by Xiaoqin for a long time, and Xiaoqin insisted that even if he met a ghost, he should find a Taoist priest to help Tang Yichuan catch ghosts.

"Alright, I'm kidding you, it's no such thing. Do I look like someone who will provoke enemies? Tang Yichuan said, "It's really nothing." It's because your imagination is too rich, no one wants to kill me, that woman should be just an accidental elevator accident, and it has nothing to do with me. ”

"Really?" Xiaoqin looked at Tang Yichuan suspiciously.

"Really, we didn't die because we were lucky. Thank my instincts. Tang Yichuan smiled, "It's really nothing, you can be busy." ”

Xiaoqin still didn't believe it very much, worried that the serial killer was here to hunt down Tang Yichuan, and when she left, she glanced at Tang Yichuan a few times, Tang Yichuan didn't say anything, and she had no choice but to stare a little more.

Nalan Ning bought dinner and bought a roast chicken for the fox to eat. The fox was so happy that even the dead, who had never eaten, was tempted by the smell and got up to grab the roast chicken from the fox.

"Xiaoqin cares about you very much." Nalan Ning said, "Ask me if you have any enemies, what did you tell her?" ”

"She didn't say anything, she just thought a little too much and liked to be nosy." Tang Yichuan said, "Don't say anything to her." They're just ordinary people. ”

"Yes." Nalan Ning said, "I went out just now and bumped into some geists in the hospital. I asked if there were any strange ghosts that had appeared recently, and they all said no. They don't know much about elevator accidents. I also met the ghost who died in the elevator. ”

"She? Did you know what? Tang Yichuan put the dish in his mouth, still holding the dishes and chopsticks, waiting for Nalan Ning's answer.

Nalan Ning shook her head, "I shouldn't know anything, I don't even know how I died." It looks very confused. She died too suddenly. It will only be interesting to see if he will appear again. It's naturally good if you don't appear, at least you are safe for the time being, with my ability alone, I may not be able to protect you, and when your injuries are healed, Murong Qingshu and them will come back. You don't have to worry about danger. ”

The two chatted for a while, and as soon as Tang Yichuan finished eating, a strong and terrifying aura spread in the corridor of the hospital, which was a kind of ghost aura.

Tang Yichuan and Nalan Ning cheered up like fried cats at the same time.

"Something is coming, so arrogant." Nalan Ning clenched her fists and walked towards the door.

Tang Yichuan sat on the chair at the window after eating, originally blowing the wind out of the window, changed his position, and looked in the direction of the door, he could not see it and could feel the sound of walking footsteps and the breath of ghosts more clearly.

So blatant?

Tang Yichuan was still a little surprised, the other party was so blatant, it was not dark yet, and he appeared here?

"Be careful." Tang Yichuan whispered to Nalan Ning, his hand grabbed the onmyoji's exorcism staff that had been placed at the head of the bed, and he was also vigilant.

The fox propped up its head and looked at the doorway, it was still nestled under the covers, only its ears kept stirring.

The little black cat next to him didn't move at all, and was even snoring while sleeping.

The door was not opened, and looking out of the window, Nalan Ning saw a gust of wind blowing in the hallway outside.

The wind was very strong, very weird, blowing a lot of things, several pots of flowers and plants in the corridor were blown down, the lights flashed a few times at that moment, and someone screamed a few times.

When Nalan Ning didn't make any movements, the wind had already penetrated the door and entered the house.

Looking back, a person wrapped in this black cloak was already standing in front of Tang Yichuan.

Tang Yichuan was about to make a move, but the other party snatched the exorcist wand in his hand in an instant, and the exorcist wand was caught in that person's hand, and he looked at it carefully.

"Who are you?" Tang Yichuan felt that what seemed to be a ghost in front of him, but it was definitely not the ghost he met in the elevator.

Nalan Ning stood at the door, staring at the ghost in a black cloak, a strong aura exploded on her body, and she stared at the ghost deadly, ready to shoot at the ghost.

The old ghost suddenly turned around, his voice was old and hoarse, as terrifying as a saw touching a steel bar, "Little girl, don't do it, I'm not here to trouble you." ”

"It's you." Tang Yichuan thought of something, "You're here." Didn't Chu Yan say that you can't show up during the day? The sun hasn't set yet, right? ”

The aura on Nalan Ning's body was restrained, and he knew who it was, the old man who Nalan Ning said used to follow the Onmyoji.

"As long as you cover yourself, you have an umbrella and a cloak, and there will be no problems." The old ghost said. "I still have some things to do, so I came early. For the sake of you being his descendant, I just came here, and there are some things that you need to understand. ”

Tang Yichuan felt that this old ghost's tone was a little arrogant, and there was no special respect for the onmyoji in his tone.

According to Chu Yan, this old ghost is a house ghost who follows the Onmyoji, but now it seems that it may not be. Maybe the old ghost and the Onmyoji are just some kind of agreement or something, the Onmyoji is dead, and it still exists, but it is not limited by the descendants of the Onmyoji.

The old ghost closed the curtains and took off his cloak again.

This is an old ghost in a dark blue tunic suit, very tall, about one meter eight or nine, very thin, and his face is terrifying. Nalan Ning was almost frightened when she glanced at it.

That face had obviously been burned alive, and it was so badly burned that it was almost impossible to distinguish the facial features.

A ghost can take on the form he wants to show people, whether it is beautiful or ugly, but this ghost shows people as he is, without the slightest fear of frightening others, and does not feel that he is terrible.

Tang Yichuan couldn't see it, so he didn't know what this old ghost looked like.

"Little girl. You go out first, and I'll talk to him. Heal him. The old man said to Nalan Ning.

After glancing at Tang Yichuan, Nalan Ning turned around and went out, closed the door, and stood at the door.

Xiaoqin was a little worried because of the demonic wind blowing in the corridor, and Tang Yichuan came over and saw Nalan Ning, "Go out?" How is he? ”

"He's fine, a friend came over and told him something, I'll wait outside for a while. They talk individually. Nalan Ning sent Xiaoqin away directly.

In the ward, Tang Yichuan thought about it, walked over from the chair, gave the chair to the old ghost, and sat on the edge of the bed by himself. "Sit, old gentleman."

The old ghost was also polite, and sat down on the chair, his body as straight as a tree trunk, "Your situation, the corpse demon has roughly told me." ”

"Well, I don't know what the old gentleman can solve?"

"The Yin-Yang Tree can be restored, but it needs one thing, evergreen liquid, to find this thing, drop it on the Yin-Yang Tree, and it can be completely restored, or even grow better. And your mana will be stronger. But the evergreen liquid is not a very easy thing to find, I can only give you an approximate location, you have to find it yourself, I know that there is a shrine in Shennongjia, and there should be evergreen liquid in that shrine. Can you find it just look at two words, luck and fate. This kind of immortal fate is not something that anyone can get lightly. ”

The old ghost paused again, "There's something else you want to know about Onmyoji." It is indeed divided into levels, and the stronger the level, the more powerful the Onmyoji. In your current situation, you should only be regarded as an entry-level, middle yin level onmyoji, it is divided into several levels, from the first yin level onmyoji, the middle yin level onmyoji, the high yin level onmyoji, the yin and yang spirit master, the yin and yang heavenly master to the yin and yang god master, it is still very big. Each layer of Onmyoji has different abilities and catches different creatures. The most common onmyoji that are now known should be the first yin level to the high yin level of the onmyoji, and they are best at catching ordinary ghosts and ordinary spells. After breaking through the high yin level, the spirit masters, celestial masters, and divine masters can fight against higher things. The spirit master can compete with the underworld, and the mana should be under the ten halls of the Hades, but it is about the same, the heavenly master can compete with the ten halls of the Hades, and if there is a grievance in the underworld, he can also take the right to negotiate and discuss. Priests, on the other hand, can already compete with gods, and if there are erring gods in the world, it is the duty of the priest to deal with these erring gods. But these things were once hidden behind people, ordinary people didn't know this level, and ordinary onmyoji couldn't feel it. Your father, the onmyoji I once followed, he was a divine master, but he failed in the fight for the gods and buried his own life. ”

Tang Yichuan tried his best to laugh at what the old ghost said, and memorized this level in his heart a little.

"Since you can't feel the level of existence, how can you break through and perform your duties?"

"This is based on fate, and there are also teachers, and I will tell you this now, which can be regarded as a teacher's transmission." The old ghost said, "Breaking through this aspect is to enhance mana, do more good deeds, there are many methods, but you have to figure it out yourself, there are also some exercises, but there are very few such things as exercises, because there are very few such onmyoji themselves."
