Chapter 24: Fish Disaster 1 He clearly saw that the woman had a...
At first, Yang Fengchun didn't take the piece of paper given by Ying Zhiwei seriously.
However, yesterday, because she had not finished her work in the store, she simply spent the night in the attic. When she got up in the early morning, she found the back door wide open. Several dark shadows were crawling beside the shrine of the God of Wealth, slurping and grabbing wax.
One of them slowly turned its head, its dry eye sockets filled with satisfaction.
She covered her mouth with her hands in fear, her legs and feet went weak, and she was sweating profusely as she thought of the triangular piece of paper that was casually thrown into the pile of receipts.
The situation was urgent. Yang Fengchun didn't care about anything else and ran directly to the counter. He lit all the receipts with a lighter. The black smoke rose up and actually drove away those bold starving ghosts.
Thinking of this, Yang Fengchun was extremely excited and grabbed Ying Zhiwei's hand: "Master, I was blind before!"
Ying Zhiwei smiled awkwardly, looking at the passersby who gradually gathered around him, and thought to himself: I feel like I am even more like a liar.
The man who came to pick a fight finally got up from the ground and wanted to argue again, but he was no match for Yang Fengchun. After a barrage of criticism, he ran away with his tail between his legs.
"Speaking of this," Yang Fengchun thought, thinking of something important. "My daughter's roommate has disappeared. There's been no news for two days. Master, do you think you can calculate it?"
Ying Zhiwei pondered for a moment: "Are there any photos of girls? From different time periods, the more the better."
"It's on my phone," Yang Fengchun dug out the chat with her daughter. "They just happened to ask me to help print a missing person notice, so I saved it."
The female college student with a low ponytail in the picture is named Chu Ying. She has single eyelids, is introverted and quiet, and is studying at a university in Fengcheng.
Two days ago, Chu Ying sent a message to his roommate saying that he was invited by a scout to record a song, but there was no news from him that night. He was still not contacted until the next day, so his teachers and classmates went to report the case.
"This child is usually very sensible, what a sin!" Yang Fengchun sighed. "He must have been scammed!"
The radio on the table couldn't help but lower its volume, and the green screen flickered on quietly: "Sister, call out the Fairy in the Painting?"
Ying Zhiwei was afraid that Yang Fengchun would be frightened, so she slapped the iron shell and pressed the power off button.
The number of ghosts a Taoist priest can command is related to his level of cultivation. Those with relatively immature spiritual power, like Ying Zhiwei, have only ever commanded three.
"Fairy in the Painting" is one of them. It has no offensive power, but as long as you have a picture, you can use it to predict the direction or good or bad luck. Last time when I helped Longzhu find someone, I also called it.
After all, servant ghosts are still ghosts. A scroll quietly emerged, and in an instant, the air around them became a little colder.
A dry hand emerged from the canvas, attached itself to Ying Zhiwei's right hand, and guided her to slowly draw ink lines on the white paper.
From Yang Fengchun's perspective, Ying Zhiwei suddenly raised his hand with a serious expression and drew a pattern stroke by stroke.
A stick figure appears on the paper.
What's weird is that the little man has a fish head, bulging eyes, and an open mouth, as if he is desperately trying to get oxygen.
Ying Zhiwei was also puzzled: "Mermaid? Fish-man?"
What does this have to do with Chu Ying’s disappearance?
She put down the drawing paper apologetically and said, "I'm sorry, I'm not very capable. Why don't I ask other people first and contact you when I have some information."
Yang Fengchun was a little disappointed, but still thanked him repeatedly.
After the other party left, Ying Zhiwei took out his mobile phone, went to the forum, took a picture of the stick figure and posted it.
While waiting for a reply, she was bored and clicked on [Rare Goods]. A strange product was hanging on the homepage. The main picture was just an old mop, but the category was selected as "magic weapon".

Um……
Difficult to comment.
I returned to my post and saw two or three more replies.
Xiaobai doesn't eat broccoli: I checked the big data, and the person should still be in Fengcheng. If there's no news after 48 hours, file a case with the Paranormal Control Bureau~

[Mengmeng's dad: This is the first time I've seen a stick figure that's even weirder than my daughter's.]
A message popped up on WeChat at the appropriate time.
AAA All-Rounded Housekeeper Long Jie: "Do you know where Fengcheng is?"
It’s Fengcheng again.
Ying Zhiwei was solemn, thinking that the other party was also in trouble, but then he sent a link.
[Friends invite you to help get free incense, wax, paper and candles at Changfeng Temple offline! ]
[AAA Almighty Housekeeping Sister Long: "Help me cut it, hehe."]
Ying Zhiwei: “…”
…
Fengcheng, Lubo Mountain, Yuwei Village.
The forest was pitch black, and the tall, gnarled trees looked like ghosts, emitting hoarse, hideous laughs in the mountain wind.
Chu Ying fled in the forest like a headless fly, the hem of her skirt was scratched by branches and thorns, and the toes of her shoes were covered in mud.
But she didn't dare to stop, because if she delayed for a second, she might have to stay in these mountains forever.
The day before yesterday, she was coaxed by a "scout" to come to Yuwei Village, a place she had never heard of.
Surrounded by mountains, located in a natural barrier, with poor communications, backwardness and ignorance... all this made Chu Ying feel endless fear.
I heard three or two shouts behind me, as if someone was catching up with me.
Chu Ying covered her mouth, afraid that she would cry out loud, and carefully hid in the path. Suddenly, she looked up and found someone standing in front of her.
The man had a slender figure, wore a long green gown, and carried a red-painted sanxian with a long pole on his back, looking like a crosstalk performer.
As the noise got closer, Chu Ying no longer hesitated and ran over in panic, asking for help: "Excuse me, do you know where to get to the main road? There's a kidnapper chasing me!"
The young man turned around. He had a delicate face, pale complexion, and narrow, upturned eyes that looked like he was smiling.
He slowly raised his hand and pointed in a certain direction.
Chu Ying was overjoyed and was about to say thank you, but in the faint moonlight, he saw a row of black teeth in his mouth. When he smiled, it looked like an upside-down black crescent.
It's really too weird!
Her desire to survive made her dare not delay any longer, and she fled in panic. Fortunately, there was no trap in the direction the man pointed. Two minutes later, she arrived at the national highway.
Chu Ying ran down the asphalt road with tears in her eyes, but in this remote mountain area, there were few cars passing by in the middle of the night.
She did not give up and fled down for several miles. After turning a corner, she saw a majestic palace on the top of the next mountain. Her eyes lit up because of her knowledge of local attractions.
——It’s Changfeng Temple!
Once you determine your direction, you will feel less fearful.
Chu Ying wiped his eyes and suddenly felt the ground shaking. He looked up and saw a large truck flashing strong lights in the distance, speeding on the fork road.
"Help! Help!" She seemed to have found a savior, waving her arms regardless of the danger and running to the middle of the road.
The truck driver was an experienced man who had driven this national highway seven or eight times and was quite familiar with the route. So when the co-driver asked for leave, he secretly drove out without telling his superiors, hoping to earn a little extra money.
But things happen unexpectedly, and something strange really happened tonight!
He was driving fine on a side road when suddenly a woman in a skirt appeared in the middle of the road. The point is, under the strong light of the car headlights, he could clearly see that the woman had a fish head!
The driver was shocked. Although his colleagues who drove long distances often heard some supernatural things, he had never encountered any of them. He just thought it was an illusion caused by fatigue driving.
But he was sure that he was conscious and had good eyesight. Besides, a human head and a fish head were two completely different things, so how could they be confused?!
In a hurry, he turned the steering wheel sharply, and the car body began to tilt. His heart sank, and he thought to himself that this time he would probably die here.
However, the front of the car only scraped against a few mountain walls and miraculously stopped without even a spark.
Saved?
The driver was experienced and knew that his two actions would definitely cause the car to overturn and catch fire. How could it be...
He suddenly thought of something and hurriedly took out a bunch of miscellaneous items from his pocket. Among the toll receipts and cigarette box residue, he found an amulet - this was the "disaster talisman" his daughter had given him last night, saying it was a gift for buying something. He accepted it without taking it seriously.
But at this time, the disaster-avoiding talisman had already turned into black ash.
The driver's eyes widened and he was suddenly horrified.
Feeling grateful for surviving the disaster, he opened the car door and jumped out, wanting to see whether the woman who had just blocked the road was a human or a ghost, but after searching for a while, he found nothing. The road was empty and there was no sign of another person.
The driver scratched his head, climbed back into the driver's seat, and drove away in confusion.
On the side, Chu Ying's heart sank heavily.
Why didn't the other party see me? !
There is no signal on my cell phone. Do I really have to walk back along the national highway?
She took a step forward in a daze, and the next second, someone grabbed her wrist.
Several villagers holding farm tools appeared silently behind him. They were tall and burly, and each of them stared at Chu Ying with a gloomy look as if he were looking at prey.
Chu Ying couldn't break free from the other party's shackles and shouted for help, but the mountains and forests were remote and her only response was the howling of a few wild foxes in the wild mountains and ridges.
The man in the lead had droopy eyes and a sharp mouth, and looked mean.
He laughed creepily: "You have been sold to me as my wife, you can't run away."
Chu Ying felt even more desperate. She suddenly recalled her hometown, which was also such a remote and desolate village.
She originally thought she could completely escape from that backward and ignorant yellow sand land, but... she was only just one step away. Could it be that even if she tried her best, she still couldn't have her own place in the city?
Chu Ying cowered and begged for mercy, but her humble behavior only made the man even more arrogant. He raised the wooden stick high in his hand and swung it at Chu Ying's legs...
