This land has a very long history, and almost every place has something sealed. It could be the rift between the Yin and Yang worlds, like the ghost gate that sealed the way to life before, or the thousand-year-old evil spirit that cannot be killed directly...
Then some powerful people used the seal as the foundation and set up a formation barrier, which not only prevented the seal from being weakened by the passage of time, but also managed to expel the vengeful ghosts, suppress the evil spirits and protect ordinary people.
The Tianshi Association has branches in almost every city. One of its important functions is to patrol these seals and prevent them from being destroyed. Xiang Zhengqi is the president of the S City branch.
He listened to the report with a grim expression.
——It happened to be today, it happened to be this time.
Xiang Zhengqi tilted his head and held the phone, then used his free hands to take out his computer, and while typing on it, he asked the other party to explain the current situation.
In order to prevent the barrier from being destroyed by someone with ulterior motives, the center of the formation is mobile and its location is different at every moment.
...As long as it's not the center of the formation...
Looking at the calculation results displayed on the screen, Xiang Zhengqi couldn't help but swear.
On the other side of the phone, the person in charge almost cried, "They are just vengeful ghosts, and, there are also ordinary souls, but there are too many... too many... We can't handle it at all..."
The man repeated "too many" several times, which shows that the number is really beyond imagination.
There are expelling formations near the seals, or residual pressure from sealed evil spirits, so this kind of situation shouldn't happen.
Someone tampered with it.
And the person who is proficient in formation and wants to keep him in S City...
Xiang Zhengqi's expression became increasingly tense.
The boarding reminder was broadcast, Xiang Zhengqi put away his computer and walked out of the lounge, but went against the flow of people, heading towards the direction of leaving the airport.
Even though he knew that the other party deliberately kept him here, he had to fall into this trap.
But as for the Han family, there is also Han Lenian... we can't just ignore them.
Xiang Zhengqi's face was visibly annoyed. He raised his hand and blindly typed in a number, but before he could open his mouth to explain, an impatient female voice came from the other end -
"No need for you, he's my brother, I can go there by myself."
Xiang Zhengqi: “…”
He was silent for a moment, then said, "And Han Le..."
“Beep-beep-beep-beep”
Before I could finish my sentence, there was a series of busy tones on the other end.
Xiang Zhengqi looked at the hung up phone and gave a bitter smile, but since Li Shengru had gone there, although her purpose was to save her life, she would definitely not leave Han Lenian alone.
Thinking of this, he breathed a sigh of relief, but when he looked up again, the expression on his face had turned solemn.
——Let’s make a quick decision.
On the other hand, Li Shengru's condition was definitely not good.
The broken cell phone fell to the ground, stained with blood. A dagger was stuck in the left side of her abdomen, and the bright red blood stained a dark spot on her plain cheongsam, but she didn't care about it at all, and looked at the young man lying on the ground in front of her with an indifferent expression.
Her full red lips curved upwards, and she sneered, "You are so brave, aren't you?"
As she approached, the Li family branch disciple who attacked her was filled with disbelief. He used his hands and feet to kick back, with deep fear on his face, "How is this possible?!... Impossible!! How can you still use spiritual power..."
The young man's back hit the wall, and he had nowhere to retreat. His expression changed from distorted to ferocious, and he suddenly jumped up, "Woman, just a woman! Go to hell! I am--"
He only said half of his words, then groaned. When I looked again, he had fallen to the side.
Li Shengru threw the bloody dagger that he had pulled out of her body aside, looked at the heap that had collapsed on the ground, and sneered, "Trash."
——This kind of trash wants to be the head of the family. I wonder who gave him the courage?
Maybe it's the two taels of meat below the waist. Just cut it off.
...She has been too busy to take care of it recently, and those old guys are getting restless again.
Wait until she brings back the way to life...wait until she brings it back...
As Li Shengru was thinking this, he staggered and held on to the window sill next to him to prevent himself from falling to the ground.
Her trembling hands clenched into fists, and her face looked ferocious for a moment.
——Those old guys!!
Chu Lu was actually a little concerned about the vengeful ghost he met on the way back with Qian Ji.
After returning from Qian's house in the evening, he lay in bed and thought for a while, and decided to go out and take a look.
In order to avoid alarming the people on the other side by the noise of opening the door, Chu Lu directly climbed through the window.
Qian Ji, whose room was located just in time to see the Han family's balcony, said: "..."
???
!!!
He sat up straight with a sit-up, rubbing his eyes to make sure that the shadow he had just seen was not a squirrel or a wild cat or something - such a big black shadow must have been a monkey!
Monkey P!
——It’s “Lulu”!
Qian Ji followed him out without thinking. After opening the window, he felt the cool wind and calmed down.
——Seven floors.
If he doesn't want his body to be on the headlines tomorrow, he'd better not do this.
Qian Ji slammed the window shut, grabbed his coat from the coat rack and ran out.
When Professor Qian came out of the living room to get some water, he was asked and said hastily, "My mom said we're out of soy sauce! I'm going to buy some!"
A gust of wind blew by and the door slammed shut.
Hearing the noise, Luo Yu poked his head out of the room and asked, "Old Qian, what's wrong?"
Professor Qian, who was also a little unresponsive, said: …
He paused and asked his wife tentatively: "...is there no soy sauce at home?"
Although he didn't know why the topic turned to this, Luo Yu recalled and nodded, "I found that there was not much left when I was cooking."
After hearing this, Professor Qian was very pleased and said, "You have grown up."
As he said this, he even forgot about the water and went back to the study humming a little opera tune.
…
On the other side, Qian Ji kept pressing the down button of the elevator and stomped his feet all the way to the first floor. When he got out of the building, he was stunned to find that he had no idea which direction to chase.
Qian Ji: “…”
Anyway…
Let’s first go to the places we visited during the day.
The Han family’s forbidden area.
Han Lenian opened his eyes in a daze, and the moment he regained consciousness he knew something was wrong. After seeing the situation around him, his heart sank.
The wall was covered with densely packed talismans. The cinnabar on the yellow paper twisted into twisted symbols, which looked like blood at first glance. Han Lenian squinted to identify them, but the patterns drawn on them were not any shapes he knew. But this was normal, as he didn't know many talismans, and he basically used his fists to deal with evil spirits.
He had no time to think about where he was exposed. He struggled to turn his wrists, trying to free himself from the ropes.
As he was moving, a rough laugh came from behind.
— Is there anyone else?!
Han Lenian was suddenly startled.
It was difficult to move with his whole body tied up. Han Lenian bounced several times like a live fish, and finally turned around with difficulty and saw the person who was hiding in the dark behind him.
——He was an old man wearing a Taoist robe.
He was already quite old, and his exposed skin was covered with grooves like tree bark. The brown spots could not be concealed even in the dim light, and the loose flesh made his whole face look gloomy.
What frightened Han Lenian even more was the smell of decay emanating from him.
The heavy aura of death infected the entire body. If it weren't for the noise just now, he would almost think that this was a corpse that had been stored for who knows how many years.
Han Lenian took a deep breath and pronounced the name, "Han, Li——!"
The head of the Han family, whom he had not been able to see since he returned to the Han family because of illness.
Hearing Han Lenian's address, the other party laughed hoarsely again, and said in his rough voice that sounded like a leaky bellows: "According to the blood relationship with this body, you should call me 'Grandpa'."
——This body?
Han Lenian's heart sank.
Mr. Xiang's previous guess actually came true? !
The other party's frank attitude now can only mean...
He was going to take action.
Han Lenian did not stop grinding the rope with his hands behind his back, but his thoughts were racing in his mind.
The action was originally scheduled for today. Although this accident was not expected, we can just delay it a little longer and wait for Mr. Xiang to come.
Thinking of this, I made a decision in my heart in an instant.
He looked up at the old man and forced a mocking smile on his face, "'Grandpa'? Isn't it 'Dad'?"
After Han Lenian said this, the other party's expression suddenly became gloomy.
Han Lenian's father escaped when the ritual was halfway started, which was indeed a huge mistake. Otherwise, Han Li would not have dragged such an old body, which was mostly corroded by death energy and even had difficulty in moving.
——He hasn’t been so embarrassed in many, many years!
The drooping eyelids covered most of the pupils, but the eerie gaze still fell on Han Lenian as if it was real, as if a poisonous snake was hissing across his body. A sense of danger and nausea arose at the same time. Han Lenian could even feel a large number of bumps appearing on his body due to the stress.
Han Li looked the man up and down, but suddenly laughed.
"It doesn't matter. If he hadn't run away, I wouldn't have found such a satisfactory new body."
Not every Taoist priest can do without talismans and magic. When encountering a ghost, the first reaction is to beat it with fists.
Han Lenian dares to do this, he really has the capital.
As he grew older, his spiritual power had become so powerful that even Xiang Zhengqi couldn't help but stare at him. For Han Li, this was simply an ideal "container". Even in the two-digit bodies he had replaced, this was something he had never experienced before.
The surging anger was quickly suppressed by satisfaction, and a smile appeared on his face again.
"Are you waiting for the boy from the Xiang family and the little girl from the Li family?"
Han Lenian's pupils shrank, but he forced himself to remain calm: "Who are you talking about?"
It seemed that this desperate but still stubborn attitude pleased him, and Han Li suddenly laughed.
Some sharp sounds echoed in the closed space, and the talisman paper painted with cinnabar also made rustling sounds without wind.
"They won't come. They can't come."
Han Lenian paused in secretly grinding the knot, and the expression on his face became really ugly.
S City.
Cold, cold——
It’s so cold!
As soon as Qian Ji got out of the taxi, he felt that the situation was not good.
Now I was standing on the deserted street at night, hunching my shoulders and hugging my arms, wishing I could curl myself up into a ball.
He was in such a hurry when he came out that he only had time to put on his coat, still wearing pajamas. The cold wind poured in through the cuffs of his pants, and the heavy coat had almost no effect in keeping out the cold. He even felt something cold passing through his body, and the coldness came from deep inside his body, making Qian Ji even have the illusion that he was lying naked in the snow.
Is the temperature today so low?
His teeth chattered as this question flashed through his mind.
In a trance, he seemed to have been frozen to the point of his soul leaving his body, and was being carried in a certain direction by the crowd.
--crowd?
There was not a single person on the street just now, where did the crowd come from?
But it seemed that it was so cold that even his perception was dulled. Although this question flashed through his mind, he could not even feel any doubt.
until……
A touch of soft warmth touched his cold palm, and Qian Ji shuddered violently, as if he had come back to life.
His consciousness was still a little slow, but he followed the pulling feeling in his palm and looked down.
He was surprised: "Lulu?!"
