150 Guardian Spirit 18
Hyacinths are bulb flowers that can be grown either from seeds or separately from the mother plant by splitting the bulbs.
Most people will choose the latter method, first, because it is easy to survive, and secondly, it only takes a month and a half to flower with bulbs, and it takes four or five years to bloom with seeds.
Yao Rong bought a bag of seeds in the flower shop, so he naturally decided to use the former method.
She meticulously soaked the seeds, prepared nutrient soil, and renovated the garden soil, which was more serious than learning how to make oil-paper umbrellas.
After all the seeds were planted, Yao Rong and Xie Yinian received a letter of thanks from the Suzhou Oil Paper Umbrella Memorial Museum.
In a letter, the memorial thanked Yao Rong and Xie Yinian for their selfless gifts, and decided to exhibit it on May 1.
Xie Yinian and Song Yuanting talked to each other, and on the afternoon of May 1, Song Yuanting called Xie Yinian.
The background voice on the other end of the phone was very noisy, and Song Yuanting said, "My grandfather and I just came out of the memorial hall. β
Xie Yinian first said hello to Old Man Song, and then asked if the exhibition was going well.
Song Yuanting said: "It's going well. When the narrator introduced the story behind the red oil-paper umbrella, he said it very movingly, and the old man of my family was so happy that the smile on his face never came down. β
Xie Yinian was completely relieved.
As soon as this was over, he returned to his busy studies.
In addition to studying, he will also take some time to fulfill the wishes of the ghosts one by one, according to the urgency of the matter.
In mid-May, Xie Yinian received a message from Ban Xi.
[Ban Xi: Nianzi, are you in D City? γ
γRice cake: Here's itγ
[Ban Xi: I'm going on a business trip to City D in two days, do I have to come out for a meal? γ
The two have been in touch for the past few months, Ban Xi is rare to come, and it is also appropriate to invite the friendship of the landlord for a meal, Xie Yinian replied: [Okay, I'll take you to have supper, I know where the crayfish is the best]
After chatting a few words, Xie Yinian knew why Ban Xi came to D City on a business trip.
Some time ago, an ancient tomb was excavated in D City, and a lot of artifacts were found in the ancient tomb.
This discovery alarmed the members of the Heavenly Master Alliance, and when they rushed to the tomb, they learned from the archaeologists that there was something in the tomb that had been stolen by tomb thieves.
The people of the Heavenly Master League were worried that the flow of the Immortal Weapons into the market would bring many unpredictable consequences, so they asked the Heavenly Master Alliance from all over the country to assist the Heavenly Master Alliance in City D to retrieve these Immortal Weapons.
H City has the largest antique market in China, and the people of H City's Heavenly Master Alliance quickly found three artifacts.
Ban Xi sat in the office every day, and he had already sat moldy, and when he heard that someone was going to escort the artifact to D City, he immediately recommended himself.
Then the errand fell into his hands.
Two days later, Xie Yinian had just finished today's formation practice when his mobile phone rang.
As soon as he connected the phone, Ban Xi's complaining voice came from the other end: "Xie Chuan, that guy is really annoying." β
Xie Yinian laughed: "What's wrong?" β
"There are three members of the Heavenly Master Alliance in D City, and both of them are members of the Xie family. After I entered the office, I said that I was going to hand over the task to the Heavenly Master who was not surnamed Xie, but Xie Chuanli ignored me, I said more, and he also scolded me for delaying their work progress, is there a mistake. β
Xie Yinian didn't know what to say.
Fortunately, Ban Xi's depression dissipated quickly, and he asked Xie Yinian where he was going to meet, and he was ready to go out to take a taxi.
Xie Yinian gave him an address and went upstairs to change his clothes.
Twenty minutes later, Xie Yinian arrived at his destination.
He entered the store to occupy the table, told Ban Xi the table number, and drank it slowly with a glass of lemonade.
Ten minutes later, someone patted Xie Yinian on the shoulder from behind, and then a clear voice sounded: "Xie Yinian? β
Xie Yinian turned around and said with a smile: "It's me, sit down." β
Ban Xi also showed a smile and sat opposite Xie Yinian.
He was wearing a plaid shirt and bulky black-rimmed glasses, and he was neither tall nor short, like an ordinary male college student.
"The signature dish of this shop is spicy crayfish and salted egg yolk crayfish, let's have one each, and two cold dishes and drinks, what do you think?" Xie Yinian recommended.
"No problem, the place is cooked, I will eat whatever you order."
The two of them are not restrained, and they couldn't let go when they first met, but after chatting a few words, they returned to their nature.
Peeling crayfish, Ban Xi asked, "How are you doing with your exorcism?" β
"Okay."
"Have you ever caught a ghost?"
"I haven't fought it yet." Xie Yinian said, "I am not well-informed and don't know where there are ghosts. β
Ban Xi: "I have to stay in D City for a week, so I picked up two lists of exorcism and ghost hunting on the Internet, do you want to come with me." β
Xie Yinian was surprised and asked him how he picked it up.
Ban Xi: "I opened a metaphysical shop online, and at first I simply sold talismans, but gradually, my strength improved, and my business expanded a lot. It is not so easy for ordinary people to find a heavenly master, and as soon as they heard that I was coming to D City, they quickly contacted me. β
"I see." Xie Yinian smiled, "If you're not worried about me dragging your feet, I'll go with you to see and understand." β
Ban Xi and Xie Yinian's first destination is a terrifying haunted house converted from an abandoned villa.
The two took a taxi to the vicinity of the abandoned villa, and the driver was reluctant to drive inside, saying that it was haunted inside, and persuaded Ban Xi and Xie Yinian not to go inside.
Ban Xi and Xie Yinian had no choice but to let the driver stop outside the alley, and they walked inside.
"Have you heard of the 1992 villa poisoning case?" Ban Hee asked.
Xie Yinian said: "I have heard some of this case back then, but I don't know much about it. β
Ban Xi pointed ahead: "This is the scene of the murder of the villa poisoning. β
At that time, the owner of this villa married a wife who was twenty years younger than him.
The owner of the villa also has a daughter who is about the same age as his wife, and a son who is slightly older than his wife.
A family of four lives in this villa.
Later, the owner of the villa went on a business trip, and his daughter was out for a friend's birthday party, and only his son and wife were at home.
The son forced his wife drunk, and when the wife resisted, she was mistakenly killed by her son.
When the owner of the villa returned home, he found out about it for the first time, and in order to save his son, he hid the truth about his wife's death.
The owner of the villa will marry this wife to enter the door, in addition to the wife's youth and beauty, part of the reason is that the wife's birth date is very good, and she can be prosperous. He didn't stop doing it, looking for someone to suppress his wife's soul and modify the feng shui of the villa.
Since then, the villa owner's business has grown bigger and bigger, but the wife's mother has noticed a problem.
After that, there was the horrific poisoning of the villa.
Because it was rumored that this villa suppressed his wife's soul, not only did no one dare to buy this villa, but other families living near the villa also moved out one after another, and over time, this place was deserted.
Until two years ago, an owner took a fancy to this place and bought it and converted it into a horror haunted house.
At first, there were really a lot of people who came to the name of "villa poisoning case", and many horror anchors came to take risks, but some time ago, there was a horror anchor who went crazy after he went back, and he said that he was entangled by a female ghost.
There are also guests who were chased by something while exploring the haunted house, and when they escaped, they jumped from the window on the third floor in a panic, and finally died tragically.
The owner of the haunted house didn't believe in evil until he came to the haunted house for a night, and the next day before dawn, he crawled out of the haunted house, and found Shang Xi on the recommendation of a friend, swearing that he really saw a female ghost.
As soon as they finished introducing the ins and outs of this mission, Ban Xi and Xie Yinian arrived at the door of the haunted house.
It was afternoon, and the sun was shining outside, but when the two walked near the haunted house, the light seemed to dim instantly.
The weeds and trees near the villa have not been cleaned up all year round, the iron gate of the villa is covered with rust, and the walls of the villa are mottled and peeled off, and only vines grow wantonly.
There is also a crooked plaque hanging at the entrance of the villa, with the words "haunted house of abandoned villa" written on it.
"This haunted house is so shabby." Xie Yinian said, "It's like it's been abandoned for decades, and there are cobwebs everywhere. β
"Those cobwebs are fake. It's all props. Ban Xi explained, "When the boss made publicity, he used the villa poisoning case as a selling point, of course, he had to make the villa look dilapidated, as if no one had lived in it for decades." β
Xie Yinian can only say that the boss has a big heart.
There are really ghosts in this world.
"Isn't the boss there?" Xie Yinian looked left and right, but he didn't see the third person except for the two of them.
"Don't dare to come, communicate with me on WeChat throughout the whole process." Banxi pushed open the unlocked iron door and stepped over the pile of rotting leaves and weeds in the doorway.
The rustling of footsteps and the sound of rotting leaves breaking rang out in the quiet of the villa. Xie Yinian waved away the branch blocking the road and asked, "The female ghost in here, could it be the woman who was suppressed?" β
"Ten of them."
As soon as the two of them entered the villa, they immediately felt that the temperature had become cold, as if there were dozens of pots of ice in the villa.
Ban Xi took out the talisman, held the compass in his hand, and walked in front.
Xie Yinian held the peachwood sword and followed behind Ban Xi.
The compass didn't turn, and Ban Xi said, "There is nothing abnormal on the first floor, let's go to the second floor and have a look." β
As soon as he stepped into the second floor, the compass pointer immediately swayed wildly, Ban Xi held his breath, knowing that the ghost was near him, and a few talismans in his hand were typed without hesitation.
There is no fire and spontaneous combustion.
The burning light summoned a figure in a white dress.
"There!"
Ban Xi shouted, urging the five thunder talismans to hit the female ghost in white.
Several thunderbolts of light emanated from the five thunder runes, quickly enveloping the white-clothed female ghost. The white-clothed female ghost let out a terrible scream, pounced on Banxi, and tangled with Banxi.
Thunder and lightning and even Yang Zhi have just reached strength, which has a restraint effect on ghosts, Xie Yinian pinched his hands, and was just about to swing out a thunderbolt spell, when he suddenly felt the sound of breaking the air in his ears.
The special training for more than half a year had increased Xie Yinian's alertness, and he turned his steps and dodged to the side, while throwing the thunderbolt spell he had just completed behind his ears.
The spell worked, Xie Yinian turned around, and his face changed drastically.
In addition to the female ghost in white, there is actually an elderly female ghost and a baby ghost in the villa!
"Holy!" Ban Xi jumped to his feet, "How can there be three ghosts here!" β
If there was only one ghost, he would be able to do it easily.
Two powerful ghosts, he fought to use some hole cards, even if he couldn't solve them, he could protect him and Xie Yinian and get out.
But in the face of the siege of the three powerful ghosts, he can protect himself, but he may not be able to be distracted to protect Xie Yinian.
Ban Xi temporarily broke away from the entanglement of the white-clothed female ghost, ran to Xie Yinian's side, and was back to back with Xie Yinian: "The situation is not right, let's withdraw from here first." β
"I'm afraid it's not easy to withdraw."
Ban Xi gritted his teeth, and some regretted that he had brought Xie Yinian over.
He was originally kind enough to take Xie Yinian to accumulate some experience and increase some knowledge, but now Xie Yinian was implicated.
Xie Yinian has only been learning the Heavenly Master Technique for a year, even if he has talent, he may not be able to beat a powerful ghost.
But remorse didn't help, Ban Xi took a deep breath and arranged: "That little ghost and the female ghost in white are mother and son, I will deal with the two of them, you try to block the old female ghost in the column." β
Ban Xi took out a stack of five thunder talismans and stuffed them into Xie Yinian's arms, and attacked the little ghost.
Mother and son were connected, and as soon as the little ghost was attacked, the female ghost in white immediately screamed and rushed towards Ban Xi.
The elderly female ghost also wanted to help, but was blocked by Xie Yinian.
Xie Yinian's expression was solemn, and he was a little eager to try, the five thunder talismans slapped on the peachwood sword, and at the same time pinched a thunderbolt spell and threw it onto the peachwood sword, and then temporarily integrated the ghost tears obtained from Su Youshuang into the peachwood sword.
Under the superposition of the three, the peachwood sword is powerful.
Xie Yinian swung his sword and slashed away.
When the long sword pierced the old female ghost, the yin qi on the old female ghost's body was steaming, and Xie Yinian cut off a lot of yin qi.
The blow worked, taking advantage of the fact that the old female ghost didn't understand how to move, Xie Yinian threw out a formation plate to freeze the old female ghost and make her unable to move, so that he could swing his sword and continue to chop and chop.
Ban Xi was worried that something would happen to Xie Yinian, so he took the time to look back and almost glared out of his eyes.
No, no matter how he says it, he is also Xie Yinian's senior, and he must not lag behind Xie Yinian too much!
Ban Xi was ruthless, took out his talisman at the bottom of the box, and fought to be attacked by the female ghost in white, and he also wanted to seal the little ghost.
After dealing with the little ghost, the female ghost in white alone is not Banxi's opponent at all.
Seeing that the female ghost in white was defeated, the little ghost who was sealed in place suddenly cried loudly, and the cry was sharp and piercing. He should have been very young when he became a ghost, so small that he would only open his mouth wide and cry "Mommy".
Ban Xi was so crying by the little ghost that he had a headache, and he sealed the female ghost in white first.
He looked back and saw that the battle on Xie Yinian's side was also nearing the end.
Ban Xi did not go over to help, but stood by and watched silently.
There are not many techniques that Xie Yinian can master, but Xie Yinian is very smart, and he constantly combines several small methods to cover up his shortcomings in the short cultivation time.
"Don't kill me, my lord, don't kill me."
Seeing that the old female ghost was about to lose, she suddenly knelt in front of Xie Yinian with a cry and kowtowed to Xie Yinian: "My lord, I didn't mean to do anything with you. I just want to protect my daughter and grandson, is that also wrong? I beg your mercy and spare me, my poor daughter, and my grandson. β
Xie Yinian probably guessed the identity of the old female ghost, so he made a move.
Banxi frowned and was about to step forward.
The red light flashed in the eyes of the elderly female ghost, and her nails instantly swelled, stabbing towards Xie Yinian's neck.
Before the nail was about to pierce Xie Yinian's neck, the defensive magic weapon on Xie Yinian's wrist glowed, and a protective shield was passively released, blocking the blow for him.
Xie Yinian's face was red, knowing that he had made a big mistake, and hurriedly sealed the old female ghost in the compass.
He was holding his knees with his hands, panting, and there was a kind of luck and chagrin that he had escaped death.
"Are you okay?" Ban Xi stepped forward and asked.
Xie Yinian took a breath: "It's okay." I'm sorry, but I was careless. β
"Don't listen to these ghosts in a fight. It's never too late to listen to them when they're subdued. Ban Xi looked apologetic, "Don't thank me, I should apologize to you." I almost implicated you. β
"It's okay, you see I'm not hurt."
Ban Xi smiled and turned his head to look at the female ghost in white: "You are Xu Xing?" β
Xu Xing, the new wife of the owner of the villa.
The female ghost in white had her long hair hanging down and did not speak.
"When you died, were you pregnant?" Xie Yi asked in a young voice.
As if she hadn't heard, the female ghost in white looked up at the little ghost who was still crying, and beckoned to him, her face was covered with blood, but the mottled blood couldn't hide her gentle expression.
"Baby. Baby. Don't cry, Mommy is here. β
"Baby, come and sleep in Mommy's belly."
"Mom. Mom. The little ghost's cry stopped abruptly, and he stumbled in front of the female ghost in white, and his figure flashed, turning into a black mist and burrowing into the belly of the female ghost in white.
The female ghost in white's originally flat abdomen instantly bulged slightly.
Xie Yinian sighed: "The old female ghost in that array is your mother." β
The female ghost in white refused to communicate with them in any way, and Ban Xi put the female ghost in white and the little ghost in her stomach into the array, and patted Xie Yinian on the shoulder: "Let's get out of here first." β
Out of the villa, Ban Xi called the boss and said that the matter was settled.
Thank you so much to the owner.
Ban Xi hung up the phone, looked back at Xie Yinian, who was still in a daze, and asked him, "Feel a little uncomfortable?" β
"It's a little."
Ban Xi is only four years older than Xie Yinian, but he grew up in the Taoist temple since he was a child, and he has seen a lot of similar things, but he is much harder than Xie Yinian's heart: "Don't just look at the surface. β
"Xu Xing's experience is indeed very miserable, not long after Xu Xing's death, Xu Xing's mother's account suddenly had an extra transfer of 10 million."
"Xu Xing's mother will kill people, not to avenge Xu Xing, but because the owner of the villa no longer gives her money, she owes a lot of debts and can't pay it back."
Xie Yinian's face changed slightly: "The 10 million transfer ......"
Ban Xi nodded: "It was given by the owner of the villa." β
Xie Yinian felt that the cut he had just made was too light.
The two helped each other to the side of the road and reached out to stop the taxi, but the taxi saw the two of them from a distance, and ran fast with their feet on the accelerator.
Xie Yinian and Ban Xi looked at each other and laughed.
Xie Yinian said: "It seems that we can't get a taxi. β
"Recently, this neighborhood has been haunted, and drivers passing by may see us and think they have hit a ghost." Ban Xi complained, took out his mobile phone and called the boss, "I'll let the boss send you back first." β
Xie Yinian responded, but when the car was still a few hundred meters away from the villa where he lived, Xie Yinian asked the boss to stop the car.
As soon as I walked outside the villa, the door of the villa was opened from the inside.
Yao Rong stood at the door, clasped his arms in his hands, and looked at him with a smile: "I can sense your breath from afar, why are you so embarrassed, is it still smooth?" β
Last night, Xie Yinian told her that he was going to catch ghosts.
Xie Yinian couldn't live under her wing forever, plus with Ban Xi going with him, Yao Rong was not worried.
But looking at Xie Yinian's appearance, you know that there are still twists and turns in this line.
"It's hard to put into words." Xie Yinian sighed, went upstairs to take a shower first, and then told Yao Rong about everything that happened today.
"Then it seems that this trip has been very rewarding." Yao Rong said.
Xie Yinian's eyes widened.
"In the past year, the ghosts you have come into contact with are all like Xixi and Su Youshuang. Those ghosts who fight with you have never done anything bad. β
Yao Rong saw through Xie Yinian's thoughts at a glance: "You think they are pitiful, and you want to help them." β
"Of course, this kind of sympathy is good, but do you know why the Heavenly Master Realm and the ghosts are mortal enemies, it is because those Heavenly Masters who sympathize with the ghosts and ghosts die in the end because of their sympathy. You can help them as much as you can, but you can't lose your vigilance. β
Xie Yinian's expression was solemn and he sincerely admitted his mistake: "It's true that I did something wrong." β
If it weren't for the defensive bracelet given by the Zhou family, he would definitely be injured. οΌοΌοΌ
