Heavenly Thunder Talisman
"Come on, show me something and let me open my eyes!" Ye Jing'an rubbed his hands like a fly and kept muttering in his ear, "Come on, come on..."
Liu Muzhe raised his eyebrows. It would be okay to let Ye Jing'an see it for himself. It would just allow him to see how well he had learned.
"Lend me the sword." Liu Muze picked up Ye An's sword and drew a talisman in the air. He then closed his eyes and muttered something silently. He then formed a complex hand seal while chanting. He then grasped the sword with its spine facing him, suddenly turning it inward and opening his eyes.
Ye Jing'an saw that he seemed like a different person. His eyes were filled with a sharp and cold murderous intent, without his usual gentle feeling. The things around him trembled as he opened his eyes.
Outside the house, wind, rain, thunder and lightning suddenly came.
After a while, Liu Muze closed his eyes and breathed a sigh of relief. The fierce murderous look in his eyes faded, and a faint smile curled up at the corner of his mouth. He returned the sword to Ye Jing'an.
"Is it over?" Ye Jing'an felt that there should be something more to come.
"Yeah." Liu Muzhe chuckled and nodded.
"Are you praying for rain?" Ye Jing'an rolled his eyes. It did have a powerful aura, but it felt like it was just meant to scare people, not kill them.
"..." Liu Muze looked at him helplessly, "This is a Heavenly Thunder Talisman. Will it really draw down the thunder and strike you?"
"Uh..." Ye Jing'an finally realized that his mediocre skills were really not up to par.
"Study hard." Liu Muzhe patted his shoulder.
Ye Jing'an sighed. He wondered how much Brother Liu had learned to become so powerful. It seemed he needed to learn more so he could catch up with him and protect him from getting hurt again.
During this period, Ye Jing'an was conscientiously drawing talismans, but the peaceful days did not last long, and troubles came knocking on his door again.
The man on the phone claimed to be the owner of the car rental company. He first apologized to Ye Jingan, saying that he was not aware of the condition of the car and that the manager had done a bad job.
After explaining for quite some time, he said he would give them compensation, and since they still used the car, he would just give it to them. After laying the groundwork for a long time, he finally got to the point: "Can you see ghosts?"
"Guess." Ye Jing'an said.
The boss had been in business for so many years, he was already a veteran. Hearing this, he guessed that Ye Jingan must have some skills, and became even more enthusiastic. He said he was also interested in these things, and that there were many treasures at home, asking Ye Jingan to pick any one to play with.
"Just say it if you have something to say!" Ye Jing'an really didn't want to listen to his nonsense.
"Hey, Brother Ye, I've got something going on and I'd like to ask for your help." The person on the other end of the line was silent for a moment, seemingly trying to figure out how to explain the situation. "Well, let me treat you guys to a meal. It's hard to explain over the phone."
Ye Jingan asked back with a bit of amusement: "Why should I help you?"
"You name your price!" said the boss.
"I'm not short of money." Ye Jing'an said with a smile.
There was silence on the phone again. After a while, he asked in a pleading tone: "What will it take for you to help me?"
Ye Jingan thought about it and decided to take this opportunity to test the quality of the talisman painting. It would be nice to make a little money along the way. He tilted his head to look at Liu Muze again. Seeing him nod, he said reluctantly, "Hey, who says I'm a good man? Let me know what it is!"
As soon as he said this, the man on the phone became visibly excited and immediately told him the time and place to meet. It seemed that he had already prepared it. The agreed location was a five-star hotel. When he walked into the hotel, the service was very warm and the environment was quite nice.
The owner of the car rental company saw them approaching the private room and said with a smile, "Thank you for coming here. The food has just been served, so eat it while it's hot."
Ye Jing'an glanced at the dishes on the table. King crab, Boston lobster, Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, Boiled Cabbage... and some he didn't recognize. Anyway, the table was full, with no cheap dishes.
Ye Jingan smiled and sighed in his heart, asking others for help is different.
"I forgot to introduce myself on the phone just now. My name is Qian Cheng." He looked at Liu Muze and Qiu Zimu, "Brother Ye, who are the two friends next to you?"
"His name is Qiu Zimu, and this is my brother Liu." Ye Jing'an put one hand around Qiu Zimu's neck and the other hand on Liu Muzhe's shoulder.
"Brother Qiu, you are a handsome man." Qian Cheng smiled and walked over to shake hands with several people, "Hello, Brother Liu, Liu..."
Qian Cheng was about to reach out to Liu Muze when Ye Jingan stopped him: "Brother Liu, I don't shake hands with others!"
"Okay, it's my fault, don't blame me, Brother Liu." His eyes were a little unhappy, but he still had the same kind smile on his face.
Liu Muze looked at Ye Jingan who was standing in front of him, and raised the corner of his mouth slightly. He really didn't want to shake hands with others. He said to Qian Cheng: "If you have something to say, just say it directly. Let's skip these red tape."
"Okay, you are all straightforward people." Qian Cheng sat back in his seat, lowered his head and chose his words, then told a few people what had happened.
"A week ago, I took my wife to a remote area to hike and camp. At dusk, we passed by a mountain temple and planned to spend the night in the temple. In the middle of the night, I dreamed that she was abducted by a monster. When I woke up, I found that she had really disappeared and I couldn't find her anywhere." When he said this, a look of regret appeared on his face.
I didn't expect that this wealthy boss was such a sentimental person, willing to spend so much money to find a wife. Ye Jing'an nodded and looked at Liu Muze, thinking, what if he suddenly disappeared one day, why would he bother to spend so much money to hire someone to find him?
Liu Muzhe felt Ye Jing'an's overly hot gaze out of the corner of his eye, turned his head and saw Ye Jing'an staring at him and smiling inexplicably.
“…”What does this unlucky kid want to do again?
"Did you call the police?" Qiu Zimu asked.
"I reported it, and the police sent many people to look for her, but they couldn't find her. I asked the villagers down the mountain, and they all said she was taken away by the gods." Qian Cheng sighed, clenched his fist and punched his thigh. The phone rang, and Qian Cheng smiled awkwardly, "Sorry, my wife checked on me and called me on video. I have to answer it right away."
Qian Cheng was extremely polite to his wife on the phone, nodding and bowing, saying that he was having dinner with friends and promised not to have any fun. He also showed his wife Ye Jingan and others.
Ye Jingan thought to himself: This man is rich and an honest man who is afraid of his wife. He is not bad.
As Ye Jingan thought about it, he felt that something was wrong. After he finished the video call, he realized that something was wrong and asked, "Isn't your wife missing? Who was that just now?"
"Hehe, the one who disappeared was my concubine, and it was my wife just now." Qian Cheng couldn't hold back the smile on his face.
Ye Jingan: “…”
He changed the subject: "Have you ever encountered such a situation where gods arrest people?"
"It must be some monster again. How much the gods would love your little wife." Ye Jing'an looked at him with contempt, his tone full of disdain.
"Brother Ye is right, that's right..." Qian Cheng laughed dryly, "So what should we do now?"
"Why are you in such a hurry? Let's talk about it after we finish eating." Ye Jing'an didn't want to pay any more attention to him now. His mind was focused on eating. This dish tasted very good, but it would probably be unpalatable if it got cold. He put everything else aside for now.
Qian Cheng became more and more anxious, but he didn't dare to urge them anymore, and he had no appetite to eat, so he could only wait slowly.
"I'm full and a little greasy. Give me another jug of freshly squeezed orange juice!" Ye Jingan was not polite at all. He even added several expensive dishes to the meal while he was eating. He picked whatever was expensive.
"Brother Ye, are you full?" Qian Chengdu looked like he was about to cry. He had spent all the money in his pocket on this meal and he didn't dare to say a word.
"I'm full." Ye Jing'an leaned back in his chair. "That lobster and king crab are delicious. Pack me another portion for a midnight snack when I get home. Three more white truffle bagels. We'll have them for afternoon tea later."
“…” Qian Chengxin was bleeding.
Liu Muzhe and Qiu Zimu knew that Ye Jingan was deliberately teasing him, so they stood beside him, drinking orange juice and trying to hold back their laughter.
"Okay, okay, Brother Ye, feel free to add whatever you want." He had already thought about how to kill Ye Jingan if this matter was not resolved. "Then Brother Ye, what should I do about this matter?"
Ye Jingan: "Find some time and go see the mountain temple first."
Qian Cheng was very anxious and wanted to pull a few people over.
The three of them also thought it was good. After eating too much, they just took it as a walk.
"That's the mountain in front." Following the direction of Qian Cheng's finger, Liu Muzhe saw a thin layer of purple-black spiritual energy covering the mountain.
Qian Cheng told them that the mountain temple was at the top of the mountain. Since there was no road leading up, they had to park at the foot of the mountain and hike up. This mountain was even better than Hengfeng Mountain, where Qiu Zimu had chosen to collect insects the last time. He regretted not collecting insects here the whole way.
"Forget it, if we come here to collect and get caught by monsters, Brother Liu will have to come and rescue us again." Ye Jing'an smiled and grabbed Qiu Zimu from behind, "When the time comes, Brother Liu will scratch your skin off."
Liu Muze glanced at him sideways: "Am I so cruel?"
Qiu Zimu moved closer to Liu Muze and glared at Ye Jingan: "You are the only one who is so mean. How could Brother Liu scratch my skin!"
Liu Muze tilted his head slightly and said to him: "I will."
"Ah?" Qiu Zimu suddenly felt a stinging pain on the skin on his back.
Seeing his reaction, Liu Muzhe remembered how he scared him into kowtow in the hospital, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.
"Hahahahahahahaha, Brother Liu, don't scare him." Ye Jing'an laughed so hard that he couldn't straighten his back. He really didn't expect Brother Liu to say such a thing.
The few of them chatted and laughed, and time passed quickly. Before they knew it, they had reached the top of the mountain. An old temple appeared in their sight. This temple was not as majestic and solemn as the temples Ye Jingan had seen before. It only had a shabby brick and tile house, which looked very simple. It should have been built by the local mountain people themselves.
There is a plaque hanging on the temple with the words "Mountain God Temple" engraved on it. It is gray and looks like no one has ever wiped it.
"The orientation of the temple must be favorable. It should face upstream, not toward unfavorable sand or downstream." Liu Muzhe walked into the mountain temple. "This orientation is wrong."
"You also know Feng Shui?" Ye Jing'an asked him from behind.
Liu Muze said: "I don't understand."
"..." Ye Jing'an thought to himself, was he too full today, or did he eat something he shouldn't have? Why did he keep talking nonsense?
