Zhong Yang also felt that the atmosphere around him was a bit strange. He looked up and looked around, just in time to see Xiao Jingyuan and the others who were about to walk out of the room.
"Stop! Who are you and why are you in my room?" His mind gradually became clear. Why did this man dressed as a Taoist appear in his room? Why were his parents also in his room, and their expressions looked very wrong.
Huang Gengzhang turned around and said, "We are your father's friends. We came here to reminisce with him. You guys can chat."
Zhong Yang ignored Huang Gengzhang's words. He pointed at Xiao Jingyuan and said, "You, the one with white hair, turn around!"
Xiao Ying turned around, a hint of displeasure flashing through her heart, and said, "Be more polite."
Xiao Jingyuan said: "Aying, forget it, the evil spirit has already corroded your soul." For those who don't have an afterlife, don't bother with such impolite little things.
At this time, Zhong Yang's face was not as dark as it was at the beginning. She automatically whitened her face in her mind. The next second, a look of surprise flashed across her eyes. Isn't this the person who quarreled with her grandfather on Chengyang Street? It's really a narrow road for enemies to meet.
Xiao Ying's unhappiness disappeared, and she didn't bother with the dying gangster.
"Is it you?"
Zhong Yang looked at Xiao Ying and his grandson in surprise. He knew these two people, two immoral charlatans. He turned to look at his parents and said, "Dad, Mom, those two are liars. Why did you let liars in?"
Mother Zhong was stunned for a moment, "What liar?"
Mr. Zhong narrowed his eyes and asked, "Do you know each other?"
At the mention of the word "know," Zhong Yang felt a surge of anger and said, "I don't know him! He started by saying that my forehead was black and I wouldn't live long. Do you think he's crazy?"
Father Zhong asked calmly, "When did it happen?"
Zhong Yang said: "It was the day before yesterday."
"The day before yesterday?" Mother Zhong's heart was in her throat. Her son had fallen into a coma the day before yesterday. How could it be the day before yesterday?
Zhong Yang said, "It was the day when Zilang and I went to J City. Zilang also knew that he cursed me."
Thinking of her son not knowing what day it was, Zhong's mother couldn't hold back her tears any longer and started to shed tears again, "Then why don't you listen to the master? You child, hum hum..."
"Mom, why are you crying for no reason? I, your son, didn't suffer any harm. I scolded him harshly!" Zhong Yang realized it belatedly, "Mom, why did you call him Master?"
A strong anger rose in Mr. Zhong's heart, but he didn't show it on his face. "Master Xiao, have you ever seen my son in J City?"
Xiao Jingyuan spoke frankly, "Yes, I did meet the young master once in J City, and I did mention the evil spirit to him, but he refused to communicate and didn't care. He even scolded me harshly."
Xiao Ying said, "That's right, the scolding was really harsh."
Huang Gengzhang looked at Zhong Yang lying on the bed, then at Xiao Jingyuan, wondering if they had actually met before. He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but then realized that it was difficult to persuade the damned person with kind words, so he moved closer to Xiao Jingyuan.
At this moment, Zhong Yang, who was sitting on the bed, saw his own terrifyingly dark figure in the mirror opposite, and suddenly opened his eyes in fright.
"Ah!" A scream of fear resounded throughout the Zhong family.
"Mom, there's a ghost! There's a ghost in the mirror!"
Mother Zhong turned around and saw her son's reflection in the mirror. She screamed, "Quick! Cover the mirror!"
Aunt Wang, the maid, quickly brought a piece of cloth and covered the mirror.
Zhong Yang was still in shock and murmured, "Mom, who is that monster in the mirror?"
He looked up at his hands and body, and screamed again, "Ah——"
After screaming, his face was filled with disbelief. "How could I be a monster? How did I become like this?"
"I'm not going to live long, am I?" He suddenly raised his head and pointed at Xiao Jingyuan, "Did you curse me?"
Mother Zhong tried to comfort him incoherently, "No, Yangyang, you are not a monster. You are mistaken. You are not a monster."
Listening to the conversation between his wife and son, Father Zhong suppressed the grief in his heart and said, "If you had performed the ritual for my son on that day, would he not have suffered all this? Would he not have to..." He would not have to die. These words were too cruel for a father to say.
Xiao Jingyuan said: "No, my ability is limited. I can't completely remove the evil spirit from him. Whether it was a few days ago or now, the result is the same."
He was not lying. Before he touched these evil spirits with his own hands, he thought he could solve them, but when he first came into contact with the evil spirits, he knew he couldn't.
For ordinary evil spirits, two evil-removing talismans plus a piece of golden talisman paper can cure the disease, but for Zhong Yang's evil spirit, he needs to take out the Silver Frost Needle. Even the thickest Silver Frost Needle with the best spiritual energy can only protect his heart and lungs for half a day.
Perhaps his cultivation was not strong enough, so he could not get rid of these evil spirits.
These evil spirits were extracted from Taowu's body and cannot be compared with ordinary evil spirits. It is normal that Xiao Jingyuan, who has reached the foundation-building stage, cannot eliminate them.
But Mother Zhong didn't think much of it. Like a raging lion, she glared at Xiao Jingyuan and angrily shouted, "No! You're lying! You're a master, there's no way you couldn't save him! You could have saved my son, but you didn't. You're just holding a grudge against my son for scolding you!"
"You're already so old, what's wrong with being scolded by my son? You actually picked a fight with a child and endangered his life! It's all your fault, it's all your fault!"
"You deserve to die. You should be the one to die! My son is so young. He shouldn't have suffered this. It's all your fault!"
Xiao Jingyuan said: "Every word I said is true!"
Huang Gengzhang's favorable impression of the Zhong family also declined. He said, "Mr. Zhong, Mrs. Zhong, we cultivators won't lie to you. You've seen that Master Xiao has done his best. Why don't you ask your son where he went or who he offended? This evil spirit doesn't seem to be cast by an ordinary person or demon."
After that, they left. Before leaving, Huang Gengzhang said, "Boss Zhong, remember to pay the reward."
"You killed my son and you still want money? Get out! Get out of here!" Mother Zhong picked up a vase and smashed it towards the door.
Most people know that you cannot owe money to people who practice metaphysics, because they have many ways to make the deadbeats fall into bad luck/die/lose their family without a trace.
But Zhong's parents refused to believe it. They had already classified Xiao Jingyuan, who "did not help the dying", as an enemy. Not only would they not pay, they would also use their connections to seek revenge.
