Daytime Horror
Gao Wenwen leaned over to take a closer look, and only then did he see clearly that the scene in the photo was indeed what Yuan An had described.
I don’t know how to describe it, it looks very high-end.
“Does this really work?”
Yuan An's expression seemed a little impatient: "Of course, it's a different era now, and all industries are developing with the development of technology. Why can't we Taoists do the same when we are working?"
"These are all produced in specialized factories and blessed by senior Taoist priests and monks."
"The incense is made of century-old fragrant wood, and the talisman is a testament to the artist's powerful brushwork and practice."
He spoke with such certainty, as if the few words Gao Wenwen said were a blasphemy against Taoism.
Gao Wenwen twitched his lips. He didn't understand the new Taoist techniques, so he could only smile and say, "I'm ignorant. Taoist Master, please continue."
Yuan An snorted lightly and arranged the photos in their corresponding positions.
The assistant director happened to find headphones downstairs and brought them down. He was also confused when he saw the simple picture, but he didn't say anything questioning it.
He offered the headphones with both hands: "Ready."
"Well, please step back a few steps. No one should stand within one meter of the altar."
At a command, a small open space quickly appeared next to Yuan An.
Yuan An placed the headphones in the center, picked up a photo with a bell printed on it, pinched it between his fingertips and shook it a few times, and a crisp ringtone actually appeared.
Gao Wenwen widened his eyes in surprise, afraid that the noise would affect the spellcasting, so he lowered his voice and bumped Xia Jialian beside him with his shoulder twice.
"It's actually so amazing. It seems like the person you brought back is quite capable."
This scene, which was clearly beyond the scope of physics, seemed too extreme to him.
"Be quiet." Xia Jialian spat out a few words coldly.
"Oh." Gao Wenwen said angrily and stood up straight again.
Yuan An's body moved slightly, preparing for the spell. After exhaling a long breath, he began to cast the spell: "The mysteries of heaven and earth, all laws are determined..."
"Use the incense as a guide, the talisman as proof... quickly point it out."
As he moved, the length of the incense sticks in the photo became visibly shorter, and the talisman paper turned into ashes on the spot.
The faint smell of incense lingered in everyone's nose.
After Yuan An finished reciting the incantation, a thin layer of golden light seemed to pass over the pair of symmetrically placed headphones.
"It's done." Yuan An's expression relaxed slightly.
The assistant director waited anxiously, then dared to step forward and ask, "Did you find my brother?"
Yuan An nodded: "He is in the villa area right now. I will bring him back myself. You just wait."
"That's great, thank you, Master." The assistant director's heart, which had been hanging in the air since early morning, finally settled down.

It was not until Yuan An's figure left the door that Ding Can turned around and found Chen Tang, feeling that it was necessary to tell her that Yuan An had noticed something strange.
"I was just suspecting it at first, but now it seems the evil spirits have really moved into the villa area."
Chen Tang had a worried look on his face, knowing that if Yuan An continued to investigate, the secret would be revealed sooner or later.
She had just promised the people in the underworld that morning to keep the evil spirit hidden.
Although she did not reveal the secret to the Taoist priest on her own initiative, it will still have an impact on their future lives.
Since evil spirits will not actively attack humans, Ding Can does not feel any concerns.
Moreover, she felt that Yuan An was careless and even though he had just shown his abilities, he was still somewhat unreliable. Even if he had doubts, he might not be able to confirm the existence of the evil ghost.
"Don't worry too much. Think positively. At least if the evil ghost is caught sooner, your safety will be guaranteed."
However, Ding Can's guess was obviously wrong. About twenty minutes later, Yuan An really returned with his cousin.
My cousin looked a little dazed, and was confused when facing the assistant director's reply. It took him a long time to reply slowly, but he had no idea what happened.
"Master, what's going on with my brother?"
"He was possessed by an evil spirit and his body was used by someone else, causing him to lose some of his memories. As for his current unconscious state, he will recover if he rests well."
Ding Can didn't expect Yuan An to come back so soon and confirm the existence of the evil ghost.
Chen Tang walked over and nodded at him, "Master, if it was an evil spirit possessing him, how come the three of us didn't notice it at all?"
Her question was well-founded. If her cousin was possessed, when he was in the villa, according to the evil ghost's reckless nature, he would definitely attack the three ghosts in the house.
But now the three of them were not disturbed at all, which didn't seem to be true.
"I suspect this donor was frightened yesterday, weakening his spirit. The evil spirit outside the villa is bewitching him, waiting for you to leave before possessing you. This is to avoid alerting you, and instead to target the other ghosts in the rental area."
Yuan An just followed the result of the spell and left the villa, then quickly headed in the direction indicated by the gods.
When I arrived, I saw my cousin acting suspiciously.
He looked around along the way, as if searching for pleasing prey.
The possessed "cousin" soon discovered the danger nearby. After fighting with Yuan An, the evil ghost realized that he could not fight head-on.
He controlled his cousin's body and jumped onto the iron railings on the wall of the next courtyard.
Seeing this, Yuan An also jumped into the air and picked up his cousin by the waist in order not to hurt his cousin's human body.
In such a short time, the evil ghost took the opportunity to escape.
Yuan An missed the opportunity to catch the evil ghost.
Since we have found the person, we might as well send him back first.
After hearing this, Chen Tang could only put on a very faint smile, pretending to be relieved that he had avoided a crisis: "Fortunately, the evil ghost didn't target us."
Yuan An was naive, completely unaware of the hidden meaning behind that expression. "I agree. You're quite lucky. But now that he's back, I still have to go look for that evil ghost. You all should just stay in the villa and relax."
He looked a little anxious, perhaps because of the habit he had developed from delivering food for a long time, but he was in a hurry and left without saying much.
For the director, the evil ghosts roaming outside have nothing to do with the crew.
Another half day was wasted, and the shooting plan needs to be improved.
After all, we are businessmen at heart. We must try to concentrate and compress time as much as possible to minimize the losses.
Thinking about the filming, the director forgot to report to the Double Management Bureau that the person had been found.
The assistant director remembered Yuan An's instructions and told his cousin: "Go to your room and rest for a while, and don't let anything else happen."
My cousin responded in a daze, his eyes turned blankly for a few times before focusing, and he walked towards the bedroom upstairs.
The stairs were less than one meter away from where Chen Tang and the other two were.
No one paid special attention to him, but Ding Can was attracted by his staggering figure.
Given his physical condition, it must have taken a lot of effort for Yuan An to bring him back so quickly.
Ding Can saw his cousin step onto the first step, and his body suddenly paused, like an old machine stuck after years of operation.
Just as he was wondering, something unexpected happened the next second. He turned around very quickly, made a clamping motion with one hand, and went towards Fu Cha Qingyun who was closest to him.
The speed was so fast that it almost became an afterimage, and no one had time to react.
Fu Cha Qingyun stood there in a daze, looking at the newcomer in astonishment.
It was Chen Tang who was beside him who first noticed the hidden murderous intent. Before his brain could react, his body had already started a stress response and he pulled Fu Cha Qingyun towards him with force.
The cousin's fingertips almost brushed against Fu Cha Qingyun's throat. The attack was so strong that it didn't actually touch him. The black mist attached to the surface was like a thin sharp knife, leaving a scratch directly on the kid's neck.
It turns out that ghosts are no different from ordinary humans when they suffer trauma.
The wound quickly oozed blood, almost staining the collar.
Fu Mingqiang also reacted at this moment and pulled the two ancestors to stand behind him.
As for the other people in the crew, they had already scattered like birds and beasts after the scene just now. Some stayed in the corner farthest from them, while others ran out of the door and into the yard.
Even the assistant director watched from a distance and didn't dare to get close.
Chen Tang's expression was unfriendly: "Weren't you chased away by that Taoist priest just now?"
From what I heard, my cousin is currently possessed by an evil spirit.
How did he deceive Yuan An's eyes.
A hint of pride appeared on my cousin's face. "I left a soul mark on this body. Even if I'm a thousand miles away, I can return here instantly. How could that Taoist priest have thought that I had such a backup plan?"
It is not difficult to infer that the evil ghost sneaked into the villa with the intention of targeting the three people from the rich family.
I think it's because if they enter directly, they will be identified by the restrictions set by the dual-authority bureaus, so they choose to rely on their bodies to cover their tracks.
Because he had devoured many ghosts, his cultivation had long been stronger than those with whom An Sheng was staying.
Coupled with such a confident attitude, I'm afraid they are really in great danger.
Seeing Fu Cha Qingyun dodge the attack, the evil ghost was not anxious at all. It was obvious that there was no threat here that could make him feel aware of it.
This is about to be a one-sided massacre, and the only result is that I will get three delicious meals.
So he no longer chose close combat, and the black mist that originally only appeared on his palms quickly spread to his entire body.
To the naked eye, it looked like a larger, transparent black cover was put around my cousin's body, and it was in the shape of a human.
Hei Wu opened his hands slightly and clenched them in mid-air. Chen Tang and Fu Mingqiang's faces showed pain, and their feet also left the ground.
Shi Yan had already held the fruit knife in her hand, and she had maintained the same posture for too long, causing her back muscles to feel a little stiff.
Ever since the incident, she had quietly put half of her body in front of Ding Can, taking a defensive stance.
They weren't too far away from Chen Tang and his group, just leaning against the wall on the other side of the dining table.
Gao Wenwen and Xia Jialian stayed in the corner near the bathroom.
Although the evil ghost didn't even glance at the human, Shi Yan still couldn't plot loudly under the human's nose.
It was impossible to ignore the high-frequency winking of Gao Wenwen on the opposite side. His hands made 800 movements in a second, and from time to time he would pull Xia Jialian beside him to make gestures together.
But there was little information conveyed.
May I ask, what are you expressing?
Shi Yan suppressed the twitching of her eyes and managed to resist the urge to blame the other party.
If the evil ghost had eyes on its back, it might think he was going to launch a sneak attack.
Feeling someone tugging at her sleeves twice, Shi Yan turned around and noticed Ding Can shaking his cell phone at her, and then doing the same to Gao Wenwen.
Yes, isn’t there a ready-made chat software?
