Chapter 51: Gone to Ashes
Among them, there are good ghosts like Xiaobai, and there are also harmful ghosts like evil babies.
Along with the evil spirits came the blood and death of my friends and brothers. My abilities are too weak, and with the books and charms left by my grandmother, I can barely protect myself, but I can't do anything about the people I care about.
Thinking about it, I gradually figured it out.
It's a good thing that Fan Ruru left me, if she continues to be with me, who knows what will happen! Xiao Hei and I left the hotel, thinking that the evil baby in the ink ghost bag needed to be solved, so we didn't go back to the police academy but went to the fateful dojo.
There is a fate to the dojo, and there is a fate to the Tao.
I wish this was the last time I walked into this ashram, and if that did, it would mean that my life would no longer be ghostly. However, the wish is very beautiful, the reality is very skinny, and it is destined that this will not be the last time I will deal with Qingxuan Daoist.
When Daoist Qingxuan saw me and Xiao Hei, the eyes of the two mice narrowed into a slit, and the beard on his chin swayed in the wind, as if welcoming us.
Daoist Qingxuan squinted his eyes and said to me with a smile: "Little brother, are you done?" ”
I lifted the ink ghost bag in front of me, looked at Daoist Qingxuan and said, "What is in it is that evil baby. Dao Chief, I have a question now, that is, how do I get it on my way? ”
Although the Taoist priest in front of him looks obscene, the things he sells are genuine, so I am still very convinced of him. Daoist Qingxuan's eyes were blazing, and he said with a smile: "This ink ghost bag has the ability to automatically purify evil ghosts, as long as it is seven seven hundred and forty-nine days, it will naturally not exist." ”
Xiao Hei looked at the ink ghost bag in my hand and said, "It takes seven seven and forty-nine days?" So long? "I also think it's been too long, and my heart's desire to let the evil baby disappear is imminent, and how to keep the ink ghost bag for forty-nine days, I'm afraid that after a long time, there will be some more accidents, such as letting the evil baby run away again. So I asked Daoist Qingxuan: "Dao Chief, is there any way to do it faster?" ”
"Yes!" He stretched out a finger, "As long as Poor Dao personally sets up an altar, he can immediately turn that evil baby into ashes!" It's just the price......"
I looked at the Taoist priest's swarthy and stubby fingers, remembered the misunderstanding caused when I was selling antiques before, and hurriedly said, "Daoist, tell me the price." Whether you refer to 10,000 or 100,000 on this finger has to be made clear. ”
Qingxuan Taoist withdrew his fingers and touched his beard on his chin: "Naturally, you don't need to be so expensive as 100,000, little brother, you are frequent customers, and Poor Dao naturally has to sell some face." The price is 10,000, and the poor road will destroy this demon for you! ”
Xiao Hei exclaimed: "Ten thousand?!" Dao Chief, you are robbing money! "If it was me before selling antiques, I'm afraid it would be as expensive as Xiao Hei, but I now have three million in my pocket, so naturally I don't think Qingxuan Daoist's offer is outrageous.
"10,000 is 10,000, please make a move." I bowed to Daoist Qingxuan and said with a solemn expression. Xiao Hei looked at me and stopped talking, but didn't say anything after all. After currying the price, Daoist Qingxuan began to prepare for the practice of setting up an altar. Taking advantage of this spare time, Xiao Hei asked me puzzledly: "Chen Shen, you are crazy, how can we pay 10,000 yuan?!" "I didn't explain much, just reassured him that I would settle the money.
Xiao Hei was still waiting to say more, but I didn't listen anymore, stood up and walked to the side of Qingxuan Daoist, watching him busy. I thought of a question, so I asked him, "Dao Chief, the Ink Ghost Bag Sanqingling Soul Attracting Banner you sold me is very effective, and I am very grateful to you." But I now have a question, does their utility have an expiration date? Can I use them all the time against the unclean stuff? ”
This is a small question in my mind, and that is the shelf life of the magic weapon. Daoist Qingxuan stopped his movements and glanced at me, and asked meaningfully, "What do you think, little brother?" ”
I thought for a while and said, "There shouldn't be such a good thing, after all, Dao Chief, you are a businessman, making money is the first priority, if the magic weapon you sell can play a role indefinitely, then there will be problems in your business." ”
"Little brother, you're joking, Poor Dao is actually an outsider, and he makes money just to support his family." Daoist Qingxuan smiled and said, "But you are right about one thing. Ordinary magic weapons, such as those sold outside, are mostly fakes with no effect. The things sold in this dojo of the poor road work well because the poor road has opened up the light for them. And this effect cannot last forever, after all, the poor road still needs to eat. ”
I'm speechless. He also said: "Little brother, if you want to deal with other ghosts, Poor Dao can help you open the light of the magic weapon you want to buy and bless some targeted spells, as for the price......
I waved my hand, indicating that I didn't need it yet. Although I am also a rich man now, it has not become my habit to spend money indiscriminately. After Daoist Qingxuan set up the altar, he lit a raging fire. After reciting a spell, he threw the evil baby into the fire along with the ink ghost bag. After the ink ghost bag burned, a cloud of black gas rose from the firelight, and it was obscured by the fire in an instant. At the same time, a terrible scream rang out, reaching my eardrums through the vibrations of the air.
Feeling the unyielding and resentful in the scream, I couldn't help frowning, looked at the black gas in the fire in front of me and said, "You're still not convinced, are you?" You think you're right, the whole world owes you something, so you can kill this and that, right? I admit you're pathetic, but you shouldn't have messed with me, you shouldn't have killed my friends and brothers. Since you have done those things, then you are no longer innocent. I think it's too cheap to send you to hell, so you don't have the right to be angry anymore! ”
As soon as I finished saying these words, Daoist Qingxuan shouted 'clumsy', and the fire doubled violently again out of thin air, completely engulfing the black qi, and the terrible scream was cut off!
"It's done!" Daoist Qingxuan clapped his hands, as if he had done something insignificant, and said lightly.
I also felt that the breath of the evil baby had dissipated in the flames, and my heart was a little confused for a while. Before, he was bent on destroying the evil baby to avenge Da Fei and Xiao Xu, but now that the big revenge is avenged, there is no comfortable feeling in his heart, and some are just empty and dazed when the burden is suddenly removed.
"So... That's it? I muttered to myself. After a while, I came back to my senses, nodded to Daoist Qingxuan, and said, "Trouble Dao Chief." ”
I went to the bank and withdrew 10,000 yuan and gave it to Qingxuan Daoist. The ink ghost bag had been turned to ashes with the evil baby, and Daoist Qingxuan said that the mana attached to the soul guide banner and the Sanqing bell had almost dissipated after a night of tossing, so I sold it back to him at a discount.
Coming out of the fateful dojo, Xiao Hei asked me in surprise: "Chen Shen, I really can't see that you are so rich, you can take out 10,000 yuan casually." ”
I didn't want to talk about it, so I made up a random reason to confuse the past. The two of us went back to school and into the dormitory. The dormitory was a little busy, because the families of Da Fei and Xiao Xu came to the school to pick up the relics of the two of them. The originally sealed bedroom was reopened, and looking at the sad and sad looks on the faces of Da Fei Xiao Xu's family, Xiao Hei and I felt very uncomfortable. In the process of cleaning up, Xiao Xu's mother suddenly sat on the ground and cried, her crying tears infected Da Fei's parents, and the bedroom suddenly became a sea of sadness.
I knew I would cry if I stayed in my dorm room any longer, so I walked out into the hallway. Listening to the old man's cry, crying about the murderer's bastard, crying about the ruthlessness of the school, crying about the incompetence of the police, I panicked. The evil baby who killed Da Fei and Xiao Xu has been eliminated, but the old people may never know this truth.
The four cases of Da Fei, Xiao Xu, Qian Xiao Na, and Li Meng may become forever headless unsolved cases. The families of the four of them may forever live in the painful perception that 'the murderer is still at large'. What can I do about this helpless reality?
Although I have just avenged Da Fei and Xiao Xu, the truth and grievances cannot be revealed to the world, and a certain sense of powerlessness still rises in my heart. There are some things that I really can't do anything about.
Da Fei's parents packed up their things and left first, and Xiao Xu's mother was only one person, so I packed up with Xiao Hei and sent her to the station. In the station, Xiao Hei went to help Xiao Xu's mother buy a ticket, and taking this opportunity, I took out the 100,000 yuan I had taken out in the bank before and stuffed it into Xiao Xu's mother's hand. Xiao Xu's mother had been immersed in grief before, and she couldn't help but be a little surprised at this time, and kept refusing it. I could only tell the lie I had thought in advance, saying that it was donated by the classmates in the police academy and was used by Xiao Xu's younger siblings to go to school, and Xiao Xu's mother accepted it in tears.
I know that nothing can make up for the loss of Xiao Xu's mother, and giving her money just wants Xiao Xu to feel a little more at ease in heaven. After sending Xiao Xu's mother away, Xiao Hei said that he missed his mother, so he went to the hospital separately from me. Xiao Hei's mother is still in the hospital, and according to him, the procedures should be completed and discharged from the hospital in a few days. I miss my mom too, but I can't see her for a while, so I can only call her and talk.
I went back to the police academy, and then went back to the dormitory, at the door of the dormitory, I met a policeman, that is, the policeman who had always suspected me of being the murderer, I remember that his name was Zeng Yi, and gave me a page with contact information, but I don't know where I lost that paper for a long time.
When he saw me, Officer Zeng didn't have any expression, just calmly asked me if I had time, saying that he had some questions for me, so we found a secluded corner and started talking.
I won't go into the details of Officer Zeng's questioning, although the police don't know the truth about Da Fei's death, but readers and friends should have understood the cause and effect by following my footsteps. There is nothing to say about the content of solving the case at the realistic level, and the police don't believe those things at the supernatural level, so this conversation between me and Officer Zeng is still unhappy.
