Chapter 14: The Mysterious Man
The clear sky, like an endless calm blue sea, strong white light beats in the air, like a microwave on the surface of the sea, the red sun adds a touch of color to the sunny day, under the illumination of this round of scorching sun, a high-end villa stands in a leisurely and quiet garden, in the villa, a young man in his 20s sitting on the ground and an old man lying on the ground confronted.
"You really didn't kill people?" Zhou Tao asked again, and wanted to kick the old man again, but he found that kicking people was still a bit addictive.
"Really, I really didn't kill him, what a grudge, I'm going to kill people", seeing that Zhou Tao wanted to kick him again, Lao An hurriedly shook his head and denied it.
"Then what do you want to do if this is the purpose of the murderous house?"
In the face of Zhou Tao's questioning, Lao An did not hesitate anymore, and said, "Hey, I'm ashamed to say it, it's all to blame on my stinky mother-in-law, I'm used to living a rich life, now I'm ruined, the luxury car is gone, the big house is gone, the savings are gone, the old woman can't accept it, there are some problems with the spirit, I want to use the little money I have left to buy this house, but once this house is proven not to be a murderous house, then my money is far from enough, and I can't help it", after speaking, Lao An was depressed, as if he was much older again.
After listening to Lao An's words, Zhou Tao also fell silent, "It's really like a battlefield, once defeated, the feeling of falling from a height is really painful, but I still have to be rich, otherwise I don't even have the qualifications to experience falling from a height, wouldn't it be even more sad."
Although he was a little emotional, but the doubts in his heart were also solved, Zhou Tao let out a sigh, and the whole person relaxed a lot, although he was not a good person, but when he encountered a possible homicide, he couldn't pretend that he didn't know anything, and it was impossible to stand by.
"Although the story is very exciting, it is my task to identify this murderous mansion, so I'm sorry," Zhou Tao said in a low voice.
In the end, Lao An left, Zhou Tao turned on his mobile phone, and saw that many messages popped up in the live broadcast software, he opened the software, it was a private message sent to him by the majority of netizens, most people were asking, is the anchor still alive? Others are asking what happened yesterday, how the screen went black when they arrived in the bedroom, and only terrifying screams and roars came out.
These netizens really have no conscience, they took them on an adventure, they were looking forward to their own death, Zhou Tao closed his mobile phone and went to wash up, ready to go to a funeral street, last night, he saw Ah Piao, he also awakened the evil spirit, his outlook on life has been subverted, he is full of question marks, he urgently needs an answer.
When he came to the funeral street, Zhou Tao didn't stop for a moment, and went straight to the funeral supplies store where he bought things that day.
"Boss, boss, boss?" Before entering the door, Zhou Tao had already called loudly.
"Eh, you're here." Hearing the call, an old man came out of the back room, saw that it was Zhou Tao, and hurriedly greeted him warmly, this old man was the boss who sold things to Zhou Tao that day.
Looking at Zhou Tao's anxious appearance, before Zhou Tao could speak, the funeral shop owner spoke first, "Is there anything wrong with you?" ”。
Zhou Tao grabbed the old man, "Boss, let me ask you, do you know what the purse you gave me is the thing inside?" ”。
The old man's eyes narrowed, the smile on his face continued, and he didn't answer, but asked, "You opened that purse?" Zhou Tao nodded, "Then you saw it?", Zhou Tao nodded, and the smile on the old man's face expanded a little.
The old man pulled Zhou Tao's right hand up, turned his palm over, and looked at the imprint on Zhou Tao's palm, the old man smiled even more happily, and his whole old face was like a blooming chrysanthemum.
"Hahahahaha....." The old man laughed for several minutes, until he saw the disgusted look in Zhou Tao's eyes, he stopped laughing, coughed a few times and said, "Ahem, is there any strange phenomenon in your body?" ”。
Zhou Tao thought that his puzzle still needed to be solved by this old man, so he didn't care about disliking the somewhat neurotic old man, and nodded again, "There is black qi overflowing from my body, what is the seal in that purse, and what is that black qi?" Zhou Tao asked a little impatiently.
"What that seal is, you don't need to know it now, it's not good for you to tell you before the time comes, as for that black qi, your grandfather should have told you that it's called evil qi, and if you continue to practice the set of exercises that your grandfather once taught you, it will strengthen your control over the evil qi, otherwise once the evil qi attacks the heart, you may become a demon who only knows how to kill." The old man's smile disappeared, and his tone was very serious.
Zhou Tao was a little angry when he heard the old man say this, he answered all the questions asked by the old man just now, and it was the turn of the old man, but he was secretive, "I said that you are not kind to the old man, I know everything about your questions, but you are spitting, what do you mean?" Also, how do you know about my grandfather giving me exercises? Do you know my grandfather? ”
"I don't tell you, it's good for you, and when the time is ripe in the future, you will naturally know, as for whether I know your grandfather or not, I forgot to tell you that I gave you your grandfather's notebook", the old man regained his smile.
"You're the mystery man?" Zhou Tao was a little surprised.
The old man smiled but did not answer.
Seeing that the old man didn't speak, Zhou Tao asked his own question again, "Then you can always tell me, what's the use of the seal, right?" Could it be that the effect is to imprint me with a pattern and activate the evil qi in my body? ”。
"It can also be said that this seal will be very important in the future, you should keep it well, however, this seal also has a small function, you put it in the palm of your right hand, and then recite the ghost chapter in the Sutra of Salvation, which can send the souls of the dead who stay in the world to hell, can you show me your evil spirit? As long as you run the exercises, and then you feel the breath of qi swimming in your body, he will come out", the old man looked forward to it.
Although the exercises passed on to him by his grandfather have not been practiced by himself, but as a exercise, he also occasionally practiced, so he is also very skilled, at this moment, according to the old man's words, Zhou Tao connected the exercises, and soon, Zhou Tao felt that a small ball of gas appeared in his lower abdomen, very much like the feeling of wanting to fart, but this gas did not go down, but went upstream along Zhou Tao's body, until Zhou Tao's right arm, and then a cloud of black gas appeared from the palm of his right hand, However, this black gas is very light, not even one ten-thousandth of last night's black gas.
The old man nodded with great satisfaction, "If you continue to cultivate in the future, this black qi will still grow slowly, and with your mind, you can control this evil qi, but you still need to practice more."
Leaving the funeral street, Zhou Tao was going to go home to find the notebook left by his grandfather, and then study it carefully, he didn't dare to be interested in it before, and many recorded things could not be used, but now that he has a bad spirit, he wants to try again.
This trip to the funeral street, although I didn't ask about the origin of the seal, I also gained a lot, I knew how to control the evil spirit, and I also knew how to surpass the soul, which made Zhou Tao very satisfied.
After Zhou Tao left, the mysterious man in the black robe appeared in the funeral supplies store again, and the funeral shop owner looked at the black-robed man and said, "Teach him a part of the seal, that power may perceive, so early, will it not be good."
The black-robed man said again in his voice, which was neither male nor female, "Now he is still weak, and the power activated is insignificant, and the sense may be very small, but we have been dormant for so long, and it is time to meet that power."
Sitting on the bus, Zhou Tao dialed Wang Shuo's phone, "Hey, Old Zhou"
"Bamboo pole, are you busy now? Don't be busy coming to my house."
"Ah, okay, did you kid figure it out?" Wang Shuo's voice was a little excited.
"You can come to my house later", Zhou Tao hung up the phone.
Wang Shuo answered Zhou Tao's phone call, handed over the work of the pet store to the clerk, and opened the tattered gold cup and went straight to Zhou Tao's house.
Back home, Zhou Tao took out an old wooden box from the drawer of the bedside table, opened the hidden buckle on the box, and took out two yellowed notebooks from the box, the notebook as a whole does not know what material it is made of, unlike paper, not like cloth, but like it is made of leather, with strong toughness, as for what kind of leather it is, then Zhou Tao does not know.
Zhou Tao opened the first notebook, which recorded the feng shui and the doctrine of Qimen Dunjia that he had studied, the content on it Zhou Tao read countless times from childhood to adulthood, and the content on it has long been familiar with it, and another notebook, Zhou Tao is relatively unfamiliar, Grandpa Gu said, this recorded a lot of exorcism techniques, but he has never believed in the theory of ghosts and gods, and his grandfather does not want to contact ghosts and gods by himself, so this notebook is just the first time he got his hands after flipping through it out of curiosity, and never opened it again.
Come back today, Zhou Tao is mainly looking for this second notebook, after all, he will have to deal with that kind of thing for a long time in the future, and it is good to know more, just as Zhou Tao was about to look through it carefully, "Ding Dong, Ding Dong", someone rang the doorbell of his house, "It is estimated that the guy with the bamboo pole is here", Zhou Tao thought.
However, when he opened the door, the person in front of him surprised Zhou Tao.
