When I got home from work, after dinner, Zhang Ziyu went into the kitchen to wash the dishes, and Ling Shijian was on the sofa.

After washing the dishes, Zhang Ziyu came out of the kitchen, and asked Ling Shijian while taking off his apron, "Has Xuexue been fed?" ”

"Hmm." Ling Shijian answered, raised his head, saw Zhang Ziyu hanging an apron by the door, and asked out loud, "What are you doing with the sword?" You don't know how to swordsmanship. ”

Zhang Ziyu turned around and looked at the sword lying horizontally on the coffee table.

That sword is the standard sword of Shu Mountain, which was brought out when the Lingshi Sword went down the mountain.

The hilt is black, the scabbard is yellow leather, black lattice, and the overall length, including the hilt, is about one meter.

"How else? Going empty-handed? He smiled, hung up his apron, walked to the coffee table, leaned over and picked up the sword, shook it, and asked, "How much does it weigh?" ”

He felt a little lighter.

"3.3 kilograms." Ling Shijian replied, "There is a slight error. ”

"Only six and a half pounds?" Zhang Ziyu smiled, "It seems that my strength has increased a lot recently. ”

"Just?" Ling Shijian smiled and smiled, "It seems that your knowledge of the sword is almost zero. You don't know a normal sword, it's only two or three catties. And you've never played with a sword. With your current body, if you can hold this sword and perform a complete set of swordsmanship, I will count you as a beginner in swordsmanship. ”

Zhang Ziyu was suspicious: "Really fake? ”

"You can try."

"I'll try again later." Zhang Ziyu said, handing the sword to the Lingshi Sword, "Now, while there are still a few minutes left, quickly pass on my two immortal cultivators' sword techniques, immortal sword methods." ”

"What?" For Zhang Ziyu's temporary behavior of cramming Buddha's feet, Ling Shijian laughed angrily, "What is your swordsmanship?!" You've never learned swordsmanship, and you don't have any mana, how do you learn it? ”

"Have you ever watched "Sword and Fairy"?" Zhang Ziyu didn't realize it, and said with a smile, "That's how the Wine Sword Immortal taught Li Xiaoyao, the Wine Sword Immortal casually played a set of Shushan swordsmanship, and Li Xiaoyao learned it." ”

"Did you know it's a TV series?" Ling Shijian rolled his eyes and was speechless at Zhang Ziyu, "That's fake!" ”

Zhang Ziyu felt very hurt and sighed: "It turns out that I am not a genius like Li Xiaoyao?" ”

"Isn't it obvious?" Lingshi Kendo, "I am already a genius in swordsmanship, but I still started practicing from the most basic swordsmanship, and I have practiced for seven years before I have the strength I have now." ”

Zhang Ziyu became curious and asked, "You are already a genius, so if Li Xiaoyao is in the real world, what kind of genius is it?" ”

Li Xiaoyao learned the Shushan Imperial Sword Technique after watching the Wine Sword Immortal Dancing Sword without any swordsmanship foundation.

"Holy level." Ling Shijian replied.

Zhang Ziyu was shocked, there was still a specific level, and he hurriedly asked, "What level is the holy level?" ”

"He who is born to know is a saint." Lingshi Kendao, "Li Xiaoyao is a saint-like talent." ”

"Okay!" Zhang Ziyu understood, and asked again, "There is no quick swordsmanship, so is there a quick spell?" ”

Ling Shijian looked at him, his pretty face sank, and he said seriously: "If you are afraid, then we will not go."

"I don't have a quick swordsmanship, and I don't have a quick spell. All quick exercises are harmful to the state of mind and to the body. That's the left side door, it's the magic way. ”

"If you don't, you don't! You don't have to be nervous. Zhang Ziyu pulled out his sword with a "pout", looked at the condensed sword blade, and chuckled, "But why don't you go?" ”

Ling Shijian looked at Zhang Ziyu in a daze, and after a while, she sighed, dropped the snow, stood up, raised her right hand in front of Zhang Ziyu, and pointed her second finger on Zhang Ziyu's forehead.

"I'll leave a sword qi in your sea of knowledge in case you need it. At that time, you can be energized. ”

Zhang Ziyu looked at the girl in front of him who was worried about him, and said with a smile: "You don't have to worry, I am also a congenital master." ”

Ling Shijian didn't bother to say anything about him, nor did she bother to look at him, she closed her eyes and condensed the sword qi into her fingers.

Zhang Ziyu closed his eyes and saw a white transparent sword qi condensing in front of him, and the sword body was unpredictable, floating in front of him, like clouds and fog.

He knew that it was the sword qi of the Lingshi Sword, his insurance tonight.

After the sword qi condensed, he opened his eyes and saw the narrow Danfeng eyes of the Lingshi Sword in front of him looking at him faintly. Her worries were written all over her beautiful face.

"It's going to be fine." He said softly, "Trust me. ”

At eight o'clock in the evening, Zhang Ziyu drove to the outside of the company's production area.

Zhou Qiang had been waiting on the side of the road for a while, the car stopped in front of him, he walked over, and stepped forward to pull the co-pilot's door.

Seeing this, Zhang Ziyu pointed to the back seat and said with a smile: "Brother, I'm sorry, the co-pilot is inconvenient, you sit in the back." ”

Zhou Qiang nodded in understanding and replied, "I understand!" ”

He sat down in the back seat and asked again, "It's Mr. Ling, right?" I see that people in the company are saying. I have also seen Mr. Ling from afar, and he is very beautiful. ”

"Nonsense, they talk nonsense, I have nothing to do with the spirit." Zhang Ziyu replied, "That's it, innocent, you know?" ”

"Understood! Got it! Zhou Qiang joked and asked again, "Why didn't Mr. Ling go?" ”

"What is she going to do as a woman?" Zhang Ziyu asked, "Do you want to be like those inferior horror movies, you need a beautiful woman with big breasts and no brains to scream wildly?" ”

"No, I thought ......," Zhou Qiang said, "Mr. Ling is also a master of exorcism." Because the leader is an exorcist master, then the spirit who is good with you must also be a mage. ”

"She's just an ordinary woman." Zhang Ziyu shook his head and sighed, "I'm having a headache because of this!" She's just an ordinary woman, and I've always dealt with demons and monsters, not a world! Alas......"

"Alas!" Zhou Qiang sighed, "Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read!" ”

After a few joking greetings, Zhang Ziyu said loudly: "Brother, tell me the location of your home, and I'll set up a navigation." ”

"Oh, good!" Zhou Qiang said, "It's not far away, it's in the Xinyuan Community of the High-tech Zone." ”

The Xinyuan community is also an old-fashioned community. is even older than the happy community where Zhang Ziyu and Ling Shijian rented, and the houses are all old-fashioned residential houses. The floors are not high, eight or nine floors, either there is no elevator, or the elevator is broken.

There was no door in the community, Zhang Ziyu followed Zhou Qiang's guidance, drove in directly, turned around in the community, and finally stopped downstairs in the unit building marked seven.

"Is this it?" Zhang Ziyu asked.

Zhou Qiang opened the window, leaned out to take a look, and nodded: "That's right, this is it." ”

"Okay!" Zhang Ziyu took the Shushan sword from the co-pilot, opened the car door, and got out of the car.

Standing next to the car, he looked up and around to take in the environment.

The old-fashioned community has the disadvantages of the old-fashioned community, and everywhere presents a sense of old-fashioned and shabby. The wall tiles are yellow and damaged, grass grows in the gaps of the floor tiles, and the sports facilities in the community are in a dilapidated state. The vacant land is either overgrown with weeds and trees, or planted with vegetables.

But the old-fashioned neighborhood has the benefits of an old-fashioned community, which is quiet and peaceful, full of fireworks. Every household has clothes drying on the balcony, warm lights shine in the windows, some people are beating their children, and some people are watching TV dramas.

These scenes are not visible in the neighborhood in the center of the city.

"The leader smiled, this side is indeed a little broken." Zhou Qiang's voice came.

Zhang Ziyu retracted his gaze, looked at Zhou Qiang, and joked: "How can there be?" I'm from the village, and you're in the center of the main city. ”

Zhou Qiang shook his head and smiled, walked to the stairwell of the small building next to him, and said loudly: "In the past two years, developers have said that they will demolish and relocate, turn this side into a commercial area, and build an amusement park. But to this day, there is no conviction. ”

"Demolition?" Zhang Ziyu was very curious, "How much can I pay you for the demolition?" ”

In his impression, the demolition households are all local tyrants.

"What's the money?" Zhou Qiang sighed, "That is, a house for a house, a commercial house." ”

"Where's the house?"

"It's not a high-tech zone, do you still want the main city?" Zhou Qiang said.

In the eyes of county-level people like Zhang Ziyu, the high-tech zone is also the main urban area, but in the eyes of people in the main urban area, except for Jiangzhong District, other districts are suburbs.

"The high-tech zone is also very good......"

Walking into the elevator room, there are sensor lights on, but maybe it has been too long, and the lights are dim.

Zhang Ziyu walked all the way and looked at it, the tiles of the corridor and stairs were polished smooth, and the wall skin fell off a lot.

Another damp, musty smell filled the air.

"How many years has the leader been an exorcist?" Zhou Qiang's voice sounded, and there was an echo in the narrow corridor.

"It's been years!" Zhang Ziyu clenched the sword in his hand and replied with a smile.

"Be an exorcist...... There must be a lot of unusual things to see, right? Zhou Qiang asked again, "What strange things have the leaders seen?" ”

"See, I've seen quite a few." Zhang Ziyu said, "But we are a peaceful society, in fact, most people are normal, only a little abnormal. I've been an exorcist for many years, and in total, I haven't seen much out of the ordinary. In fact, if you do a careful calculation, there may be less than two cases a year on average. ”

He didn't lose Zhou Qiang to call him a leader, what he said was all the leader's, it seemed that he said a lot, but in fact he didn't say anything, it was all.

"Exactly?" Zhou Qiang asked in detail, "What are the demons that make the leader remember?" ”

"Hey, whether it's a demon or a demon, as long as it's a smart creature, it's actually the same. Human beings are also intelligent creatures, and when it comes to the roots, good and evil are the same......"

Zhou Qiang got to the bottom of it, Zhang Ziyu responded with a car talk, the two of them came and went, talking and talking, and went up to the fourth floor.

"Click!"

Zhou Qiang walked in front, wearing the company's labor protection shoes, the soles of which were steel plates, and when the shoes stepped on the corridor of the fourth floor, there was a crisp sound.

However, the sensor lights on the fourth floor did not turn on.

"Da! Da! Zhou Qiang took two more steps forward and walked into the darkness, but there was still no light on.

Zhang Ziyu walked up, stood on the edge of the stairs, stretched out his hand and patted it, "Smack!" Syllable! "Two times, but no lights come on.

"Is the light broken?" He asked.

Zhou Qiang did not answer.

He looked forward, Zhou Qiang did not continue to go upstairs, but walked to the depths of the corridor, he suddenly understood, and asked, "Is this here?" ”

"Hmm!" Zhou Qiang responded.

He dug into his trouser pocket, took out his phone, and lit a flashlight, bringing a little light to the dark hallway.

"Fourth floor, no lights."

Zhang Ziyu was silent, he raised the sword in front of him, and put his right hand on the hilt of the sword, but he didn't pull it out, but he was vigilant in his heart, and raised it a few points.

The two of them suddenly stopped talking, the corridor was narrow, and it was dark only the light of Zhou Qiang's mobile phone flashlight, and the footsteps of the two of them seemed to be extremely quiet.

There was a wind blowing across the corridor, the wind was a breeze, but it was wet and cold, with a hint of fishy smell, as if it was a yin wind.

Zhang Ziyu felt that something was about to move in the dark, and something was whispering somewhere.

"Smack!"

The footsteps fell, stepped on a shallow water, and made a sound, causing Zhang Ziyu's hand to tremble, and the sword in his hand was half unsheathed.

Zhou Qiang, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped and stopped in front of a door.

Zhang Ziyu quietly pressed the sword back into the scabbard, secretly counted the doors, and found that the location where Zhou Qiang stopped was the fourth door.

"Building Seven, Fourth Floor, Number Four."

Zhou Qiang was silent and took out the key.

"Jingle ......"

The keys collided, and there was quite a loud noise.

"What, what, what!"

He inserted the key into the door.

"Click!" He turned the key.

Zhang Ziyu stood behind Zhou Qiang, feeling that the little light had disappeared, and the darkness around him froze, pressing down on him.

He felt that the door in front of him was the gate of hell, and there were evil spirits in it who chose to eat people, and a pair of blood-red eyes were staring at him and intimidating him.

"Click!" Zhou Qiang twisted the key again.

Zhang Ziyu clenched the hilt of the sword with his right hand, and his five fingers were straining, if there was enough light, he might be able to see his green tendons bulging.

He draws his sword at any time!

"Click!"

Zhou Qiang opened the lock and pushed the door open: "Squeak~"

The old-fashioned door of the old house made an unpleasant noise.

"Poof!" The sword in Zhang Ziyu's hand was half unsheathed again.

It was also dark inside, and nothing could be seen clearly, except for a foul smell that diffused as the door opened. It smelled like the smell of mud coming from a stinking ditch at noon in July. Nauseating.

In the stench, there is a certain smell; In the darkness, there is something.

Zhang Ziyu could feel that the existence was using this room as a trap, waiting for his prey.

And he seems to be the prey.

"Zizi Zi ......"

An indiscernible voice came from the darkness.

It seemed that the being was breathing, maybe it was grinding its teeth, maybe it was calling.

Zhou Qiang at the door still didn't speak, he paused slightly, took two steps forward, and walked into the room.

Zhang Ziyu stood in place, carrying Zhou Qiang with light, leaving him in the dark.

His feet seemed to have an idea of their own, wanting to turn to the side, trying to flee with him.

It's a trap, the alarm bell rings wildly in his head, and the creature's survival instinct wants to save his dog's life.

But his foolish wisdom wanted to die, and forced himself to stop.

He gritted his teeth, clenched his sword, and took a step forward......

"Smack!"

Zhou Qiang, who walked into the house first, stretched out his hand and patted the switch next to the door, and the lights in the house turned on!

The white light of the fluorescent lamp filled the room, shining out of the door and shining on Zhang Ziyu.

Light, white light, soft white light.

"Saved!" The light made Zhang Ziyu feel safe and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

At this moment, he returned to the world.

The body remembered to breathe again, Zhang Ziyu still pressed his hand on the hilt of the sword, followed Zhou Qiang, and walked into the house.

"Today, it's here again." Zhou Qiang sighed.
