Chapter 4 I'll wait for you to come back to me
Such familiar words.
In the past, Shen Zhiyi would have directly argued with him, saying that he just didn't study hard no matter how much he said.
But not now. He was now so tall in her heart that she could not disrespect him.
Thinking of this, she replied, "Yes, I will definitely ask you for advice next time."
Xiao Lanting: No need for next time. Wait for me in the teacher's office at 5:00 PM.
Want to give her extra lessons?
Shen Zhiyi glanced at the time and it was too late, so he said: “I have something to do, I have left school now, and I am not free in the evening, tomorrow, I will definitely ask you for tutoring tomorrow.”
To prove that what she said was true, she sent him a location indicating that she had left school.
As soon as I sent it, my phone vibrated and the temperature rose.
At the same time, the car stopped at the entrance of an alley.
Shen Zhiyi quickly got out of the car and clicked into the compass to track Shen Yingying’s location.
The WeChat message notification beeped twice, but she didn't check it and concentrated on walking in according to the route indicated by the compass.
This is an old residential area with narrow distances between buildings and winding alleys that seem to have no end.
The further you go inside, the cooler the air becomes, mingled with the scent of incense.
Shen Zhiyi stopped.
The red dot on the compass expanded, focusing on a location ten meters away. That location was inside the house in the adjacent yard.
Seeing that there was no one around, Shen Zhiyi stepped on the wall and flipped over, landing lightly on the ground.
The weather in Nandu is obviously very hot and humid, but it is unusually cool here.
The closer you get to the window, the stronger the smell of incense becomes.
The room was dark, but rows of candles flickered, their eerie glow illuminating the yellow banners. A thin man in a Taoist robe, holding a whisk, sat cross-legged on a high seat, his eyes narrowed and his eyebrows raised, a sophisticated demeanor.
A thick black aura had completely engulfed him, his form looming in the black aura. His original form had no spiritual power at all, and the various treasures around him were crudely crafted counterfeits; even the yellow talisman wasn't written in cinnabar.
Shen Yingying didn't see any of this and knelt down to kowtow to him: "Master, please give me another talisman. I have to attend a very important banquet tonight. I promised my relatives that I would perform piano in front of them, but my level is too low and I can't show it off. Now only you can save me."
The Taoist priest opened his eyes and said slowly, "It's a small matter. Just follow the old rules. Did you bring the things?"
Shen Yingying smiled excitedly and handed him a piece of paper: "This is my classmate's birth chart. She has been practicing piano since she was young and has won many awards. I want to take away her ability."
The Taoist priest took the red paper and then handed her a white paper covered in black words.
"Blood."
Shen Yingying uttered a sigh, opened her mouth, and bit her finger, letting blood drip onto it.
Shen Zhiyi took them all in.
Stealing people's good luck and changing their fate, what a despicable method!
Shen Yingying looked so silly, she probably didn't know how much she paid for this.
Those who go against the will of heaven will suffer backlash.
Shen Zhiyi didn't rush to stop her. As a routine matter, he used the scanning function of the APP to scan the fake Taoist priest's true body.
Soon, the target's basic information appeared, and he happened to be on the fugitive list.
Before she could see clearly, the man inside suddenly looked over here, his eyes widened, and ran into a door on the side.
Shen Yingying was shocked: "Master! Master!"
She picked up the yellow talisman on the ground and hid it in her pocket. "Master, is everything done? I'll be leaving first, then."
No one responded.
She didn't think much about it and left happily holding the yellow talisman.
At this moment, Shen Zhiyi was standing on the roof overlooking everything.
Inside the small dark room, a ball of black fog was constantly hitting the wall, trying to pass through, but failed repeatedly.
Shen Zhiyi snorted and laughed, then landed lightly and pushed the door open to go in.
With a creaking sound, the man suddenly turned around, his eyes filled with murderous intent, and there was no trace of humanity on his body.
Shen Zhiyi raised his almond-shaped eyes slightly, as if a majestic divine light was shining on his head, and his eyes were full of righteousness. "Two choices, surrender obediently, or let me beat you up and then send you straight to the eighteenth floor."
The man let out a strange scream, suddenly bared his teeth, and pounced towards Shen Zhiyi.
"If you don't accept my toast, I'll punish you!"
Shen Zhiyi shouted in a deep voice, and placed the yellow talisman between his fingers on the man's brow. With a strike of the willow-leaf soft sword, the black mist was shaken out of the man's body and was sucked into a small porcelain-white bottle in less than a second.
In an instant, the darkness around dissipated and the room became much brighter.
Shen Zhiyi shook the small bottle, and one name was immediately missing from the list in the APP.
Her life span increased to thirty days.
"Tsk, that's so little."
The life span increased each time is determined by the target's level of cultivation. The higher the level of cultivation, the more merit points she can obtain and the longer her life span will be.
This time, it's just a small snack and can't fill her up.
There were sobbing sounds in the house.
Shen Zhiyi turned her head and saw the man lying on the ground with his face covered and crying, or kneeling towards her and crying.
"No need for such a grand ceremony."
The man still cried.
Shen Zhiyi squatted down and frowned, “Why are you crying?”
The man slowly raised his face and cried, "Little Master, I beg you to leave me alone and put it back. I really need it! It hasn't done anything bad except pretending to be a Taoist priest to trick people into ordering food!"
Shen Zhiyi pulled a chair and sat down, his tone seemingly casual: "You set up the formation privately to seize the body, this is a serious crime."
The man was suddenly shocked and looked at the girl in front of him carefully.
She wasn't wearing a Taoist robe and she was very young. She looked like she was still in school, so her Taoist skills shouldn't be very deep. How could she see through his secret so quickly?
"However, fortunately, you are not familiar with it, so your body was not taken over successfully. You just attracted this little thing to possess you, saving your life. Why did you do this? Tell me the truth." Shen Zhiyi said.
The man wiped away his tears, stood up, dejected, silent, and struggling in his heart.
Shen Zhiyi felt strange and looked at the man carefully.
His face looks decadent and haggard, his forehead is black, and a bloody disaster is approaching.
Just when she was about to remind him, he asked, "Little Master, do you take away all souls?"
"Why do you ask? Who are you protecting?" Shen Zhiyi stared at him.
The man shuddered all over and shook his head in panic. "No, no, I'm just curious. I'm leaving first, I'm leaving first!"
He ran out in a hurry, taking off his Taoist robe as he ran.
Shen Zhiyi left a message: "Within three days, you will be in bloody disaster. I will wait for you to come to me."
The man paused, then ran away without looking back.
Shen Zhiyi stretched and felt extremely refreshed.
Collecting a phoenix is as satisfying as eating a meal.
After she put away her things, she walked out of the yard leisurely, casually tore open a lemon-flavored lollipop and put it in her mouth to kill time.
After solving the urgent problem, the next step is to deal with my stepmother and her family of three.
She glanced at the paper she had just picked up from the house, which contained the information of the person whose luck was stolen by Shen Yingying.
She put the things in her bag and kept them for later use.
It’s just past five o’clock now, and there are three hours left before the live broadcast.
She casually leaned against the wall of the alley and browsed the information about the house so that she could explain it to the audience during the live broadcast in the evening.
The house is in a wealthy area, and like all the houses around it, it was bought by the rich to entertain guests and is usually uninhabited.
Three years ago, a family of four was assigned to stay in Villa 186, but they were all found dead inside. An investigation revealed that the man's business failed, and he couldn't handle the loss, so he took his family with him.
That family was just guests of the owner of the house. After they died, the owner no longer wanted the house, so he handed it over to the court for auction.
The house passed through five families, and strange things happened every time they moved in, and then it was sold again.
Currently, the property rights of the house are in the hands of Shen Zhiyi’s great aunt’s family.
The related supernatural rumors are also very typical, nothing more than hearing strange crying sounds at night, or waking up outside the house while sleeping, or inexplicably hearing the sound of hoeing outside the house while watching TV at night, etc.
Shen Zhiyi was watching intently when suddenly the lollipop in his mouth was taken away.
