Time passed in silence, and I don't know how long it was. In Li Xiao's spiritual realm, the illusory white smoke gradually became clear, and in the end, it finally disappeared completely. The entire spiritual realm became clear, and at a glance, the deep and infinite void space outside the spiritual realm was clearly visible.

Li Xiao slowly opened his eyes, furrowed his brows and groaned slightly, and after a while, he couldn't help but sigh in his mouth: "It's still the Fourth Heaven of Qi Accumulation, this level has been a full fifty years, why can't it break through?"

Li Xiao sat silently and thought for a long time, but finally couldn't get the point, and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

Cultivating in the spiritual realm, although the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is far more than that of the outside world, but within this spiritual realm, the spiritual energy cannot always maintain a richer aura than the outside world. With the time of cultivation, the aura in this spiritual realm will gradually weaken, once the aura is absorbed, it will soon collapse, and it will take a certain amount of time to accumulate before it can be reopened.

The size of the spiritual realm and the richness of the spiritual energy are closely related to their own cultivation, and it is said that cultivators who have reached the level of destruction will even be immortal in their spiritual realm, as if they were in their own realm. But even so, if a cultivator cultivates in his own spiritual realm, with the passage of time, there will also be bottlenecks in his cultivation, and only by leaving the spiritual realm and waiting for a certain period of time or a certain opportunity to open again can he have the effect of cultivation.

After a long sigh, Li Xiao lightly pointed at the void in front of him, and the spiritual realm in front of him collapsed.

Three days later, Li Xiao came to Li Daocheng's home as promised.

Mr. Lee lives in a large mansion on the other side of the city, an old mansion that is rare in Hong Kong, and although it is located in a slightly remote location, it is very large. And there is an antique charm, which is very suitable for Li Daocheng's "god stick" identity.

Li Daocheng is dedicated to Taoism, and he has no other family, only an old and dizzy old gardener lives with him, and usually helps him take care of the room or something. That night, Li Xiao came to Li Daocheng's place early. He and Li Daocheng were very close friends, and the old gardener led him straight in, and went to work while busy.

In the open space in the middle of the house, Li Daocheng had already set up the incense case. There are wooden swords, yellow paper talismans, paper copper coins, bowls and other objects on the incense table, and Li Daocheng changed into a dark yellow robe, with long sleeves fluttering, quite a bit of Taoist fairy style.

When Li Xiao arrived, he found that Zhang Biao was also there, but Li Daocheng sat cross-legged in front of the incense case, and when he saw him coming, he only nodded slightly, and then sat with his eyes closed.

"You guy is not righteous!" Li Xiao complained dissatisfiedly after throwing Zhang Biao a cigarette, and said: "You know that *** and I are interested in this case, and we haven't ventilated any progress for three days." Knowing that you are a disciplined force, it is inconvenient to disclose the facts of the serious case, so it is always okay to leak some gossip, right?"

Zhang Biao rolled his eyes and said with a bitter face: "Don't mention it, now that the case has been handed over to Interpol, I have become an ornament." You know, those guys talk to me with their nostrils pointing upwards, and they don't take me seriously, so what news can I have? Besides, there's news that I'm not going to be here tonight, and I thought you could get some clues!"

"Isn't the Special Crime Unit targeting such bizarre cases, which they should be very experienced in dealing with such cases, but there is really no progress at all?"

Zhang Biao said disdainfully: "There is fart progress, how can those guys have any ability? They go out day and night, set up ambushes everywhere, and they have been busy for two days, and they haven't seen a single ghost." No, yesterday I started to come up with a bad idea of waiting for the rabbit, that is, to check the population of the entire Hong Kong, and find out those teenagers who had the same birthday as the deceased, monitor them one by one, and wait for the murderer to commit another crime!"

"It's a bit passive, but it's not a solution. Li Xiao nodded in agreement.

"I don't know if it's a way, anyway, my brothers are tired enough. Now I don't even have access to the case information, and I don't know what progress has been made, and our group of people is just helping them run errands, not even doing chores. To tell you the truth, after the investigation, I don't even know how many target people have the same birthday as the deceased, and I don't see their next move, so I really don't know what these guys are doing. When it came to the Interpol Special Operations Group, Zhang Biao was angry.

Li Xiao patted him on the shoulder and smiled insincerely: "It's good that you end up easily." ”

Zhang Biao said: "What a fart! Human life is at stake! Besides, if you mess up, in the end, we still have to be blamed by our local police." ”

Li Xiao secretly said in his heart, if the police can't solve the case, it is their business to carry the black cauldron, and it is only when other monsters who live in peace carry the black cauldron that they are called wronged! Thinking in his heart, he didn't want to continue the topic, he glanced at Li Daocheng and said strangely: "What are you doing? Learn from monks and participate in Zen? Why don't you start yet?"

Zhang Biao explained in a low voice: "According to the Maoshan technique, the living are yang people, and the dead are yin people, and to attract the soul of the dead, you have to cast spells when the yin energy is at its peak in the day. Midnight is the most opportune time. The technique of conjuring is the most draining, don't look at *** sitting like this, this is also a kind of preparation!Oh, by the way, where did you meet Boss Chu's wife last night?"

"In a scrap yard in the southern suburbs. What, is there a problem?"

Last night, I saw that Boss Chu's wife was so drunk that she didn't know what to do, and she was in a hurry, and she was negligent for a while, and she forgot to let the old ghost cast a spell to clean up her memory. Didn't she remember what she saw after waking up as she seemed to be drunk? Li Xiao couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart when he thought of this.

"No problem. Zhang Biao touched his chin, squeezed his eyebrows and smiled: "I just want that she already knows that you saved her, maybe she will come to the door to thank you, the grace of saving her life, of course you can't just do it casually in return." Also, she was sent to the police station in disheveled clothes, she must be worried that Boss Chu will know, you say, will she stop your mouth in order to gag you, that, that, haha......"

Li Xiao was angry and funny, and scolded with a smile: "What is that? I want to say that I promise to be a person! Damn, you laugh so obscenely, you are really heartless as a policeman, and someone is insulted to you, so you take me as a slug to save people." ”

"Hehe, don't worry about this, you can't take care of it. Zhang Biaogan laughed twice and said: "Now that there is such a strange case, the entire police station is very busy." There is nothing dangerous about this kind of small case involving weathering, and it is very troublesome to investigate, but fortunately, Boss Chu's wife can't afford to lose this person, so she took the initiative to ask the police not to file a case. So it's over. ”

The two chatted casually for a while, and then put these irrelevant things aside, because it was close to midnight, Li Daocheng stood up with a solemn expression, ready to summon spirits.

He grabbed a handful of copper coins from the table and threw them into the air. Li Daocheng had words in his mouth, stepped on the seven stars, went around, and suddenly broke off, and with a slap of the wooden sword, a yellow paper talisman flew up in response to the sound, and the volley burned in the air.

"After death, within seven days, the soul has not yet entered the path of the underworld. The yellow rune paper had the name, gender, and birth date of the slain boy written on it. If the soul of the slain boy is not detained, the paper talisman is burned, and the soul of the boy will be hooked. Zhang Biao thought that Li Xiao didn't understand, and explained to him in a low voice.

"Isn't it said that ordinary people can't see ghosts? How will you know in a moment whether you have attracted the soul of that young man?"

Zhang Biao said in a low voice: "Ordinary lonely souls and wild ghosts naturally can't see it, but it's different if they are summoned by *** with spells, as long as they arrive, they will definitely appear." After a person dies, the soul will maintain the image of the last moment before death, you don't have to be afraid when you see it, in fact, there is nothing about it, according to our monks' opinion, the so-called ghosts are just people living in another way, there is nothing to be afraid of. ”

Of course Li Xiao will not be afraid, in fact, as long as the wandering soul and wild ghost appear in his line of sight, whether it is visible or not, it will not be able to escape his eyes. But this kind of thing is really a terrifying thing for ordinary people, and he doesn't want to behave too much in front of Zhang Biao and Li Daocheng. Responding casually, Li Xiao couldn't help but subconsciously look around.

When Zhang Biao saw Li Xiao's appearance, he thought he was scared, and then explained: "Ordinary people are afraid of ghosts, but they are just out of natural fear of the unknown, but in fact, ghosts are not terrible at all. ”

"Ghosts originate from an obsession in life, whether it is love, hate, pain, or even nostalgia, any kind of affection that is too strong may become an obsession. Obsession will make people's souls break free from reincarnation after death and wander in the world, which is the legendary ghost. Depending on the obsession, the personality of the ghost formed will also be different. Not all ghosts are necessarily harmful, in fact, they are also the same as people, there are good and evil, good and bad. For example, ghosts who are obsessed with staying in the world due to reluctance and nostalgia are usually relatively peaceful in nature, and rarely take the initiative to harm others. If a ghost becomes a ghost out of negative feelings such as pain, hatred, and unwillingness, it is usually hostile to the human world, and such a ghost will often take pleasure in harming others, which is what the legendary evil ghost refers to. In addition, there are many other low-level spirits, born because of obsession, but because the obsession is not strong enough, they don't even have their own consciousness, they float at will, often born in response to thoughts, and rest with the wind, which is actually very pitiful. ”
