Chapter 20 Chapter 20 Strange Sounds on the Balcony (XVI)

In the real world, Ning Helan handed the wrapped hair to Ning Guohua.

Ning Guohua stretched out his finger and drew a formation on the floor, then took out a talisman paper and threw it on the ground.

As the talisman fell to the ground, a formation emitting a faint light appeared.

Fang Hui saw that the formation was in a circle, and the talisman in the middle became the so-called formation eye. A little further out were the characters for gold, wood, water, fire, and earth.

Outside the characters were the eight symbols of the Eight Diagrams, "Qian, Kun, Zhen, Xun, Kan, Li, and Gen."

Later, Fang Hui learned that this was the Five Elements and Eight Diagrams formation, a Taoist formation that was advanced from the basic Eight Diagrams formation.

It's easy to get started, but it's hard to use it well. Fang

Hui was amazed, and noticed from the corner of his eye that Ning Helan had one hand lightly placed on his lips, looking at the center of the living room thoughtfully.

From his expression, it was impossible to tell what he saw, or if he saw nothing.

Ning Guohua raised two fingers and placed them in front of his lips, muttering: "The sky and the earth are dark yellow, the yin and yang are magical... the soul is coming!"

As the words fell, a translucent figure suddenly appeared in the five elements and eight trigrams array.

"..." Fang Hui couldn't help but take a step back. For a novice like him, it was still somewhat stimulating to see someone conjure something out of thin air.

Ning Helan didn't say anything until the figure came out, and then his eyelashes trembled slightly.

The figure's hands were tied with a rope. He slowly opened his eyes, looked around, and his eyes fell on the old man in front of him.

"Tell me, who are you? How did you die in Zhou Yong's house?" Ning Guohua asked.

The figure listened and slowly muttered the name: "Zhou... Yong?"

Seeing the figure's confused look, Ning Guohua softened his tone: "Tell me, who are you?"

The figure raised his head and his eyes slowly fell on him: "My name is Zhou Yong, and I work in X Company."

After this, Ning Guohua and Fang Hui were stunned. Why are you also called "Zhou Yong?"

Zhou Yong saw Ning Guohua's surprised expression, so he asked carefully: "What's wrong?"

"Which Yong do you mean?" Ning Guohua asked again.

"Oh, the Yong of courage." Zhou Yong explained.

"Xiao Lan, which Yong is that Zhou Yong?"

"...It seems to be the Yong of Forever," Ning Helan said, and seeing Ning Guohua glance at him, he added, "It is definitely the Yong of Forever, Brother Yang said so."

"Two people with the same surname and the same name..." Ning Guohua pursed his lips.

Ning Helan saw Fang Hui folding his hands, and the expression on Ning Guohua's face was not very good: "Grandpa, what's wrong? This...did this thing you summoned say anything?"

"...It's a soul, not 'this thing'," Ning Guohua emphasized, "He said his name is Zhou Yong, the Yong of courage."

"Oh...what a coincidence." Ning Helan said.

"Yeah...it's indeed a bit of a coincidence." Ning Guohua turned to Ning Helan and said, "Go ask your brother Yang and ask him for the birth dates of these two people. It would be even better if he had the birth time."

Ning Helan didn't ask any more questions. He hummed and walked aside with the phone.

Fang Hui then took a step towards Ning Guohua: "Grandpa Ning, is he a ghost too?"

Ning Guohua nodded: "Yes, but this guy has a complete soul. Look at the rope in his hand, this is the soul-binding rope used by the ghost catcher, which is specially used to tie up ghosts." Fang

Hui remembered that he had been tied up with this rope as well. Ning Guohua explained to him: "After a person dies, ordinary ghosts will be tied up by the ghost catcher with this rope, and then taken to the underworld. After the true soul is identified, it will be let go of the Naihe Bridge."

Fang Hui secretly clicked his tongue in his heart. He didn't get to cross the Naihe Bridge. Wasn't he considered an ordinary ghost...

Ning Guohua also told Fang Hui that if an extremely vicious person died, the ghost catcher would not use such a gentle method.

Fang Hui's curiosity was piqued: "What will they do?"

"Hehehe... You don't want to know." Ning Guohua laughed with an unfathomable look on his face.

Beside him, Ning Helan called Qin Yang, who thought Ning Helan wanted to treat him to a meal. When he found out that he wanted to ask about Zhou Yong's date of birth, Qin Yang was really confused.

But soon, Zhou Yong's date of birth was sent to Qin Yang, and Ning Helan asked Qin Yang to investigate Zhou Yong's information.

"Which Zhou Yong?"

"An employee of Wei Fu Enterprise."

"Wei Fu Enterprise?"

"Well, it should be the company where the corpse you dragged back worked before his death."

Qin Yang: ...

Qin Yang was too lazy to ask Ning Helan what he wanted to do with the information, so he just left a message and hung up the phone.

Soon, Qin Yang's phone rang, and as soon as Ning Helan got through, he heard his somewhat excited voice: "Xiao Lan, guess what I found?"

"What?"

"These two Zhou Yong (Yong) were born on the same day!" Qin Yang said, "Surprising?"

What? Now it was Ning Helan's turn to be surprised. This was too much of a coincidence. He thought for a while and said, "They couldn't have been born at the same time, right?"

"That's not the case..." Qin Yang said, and the sound of a mouse clicking could be heard from the other end. "According to their birth certificates, one was born at nine in the morning and the other at nine in the evening. And according to the information, Zhou Yong is taller and the other Zhou Yong is shorter."

"Okay, I got it. Thank you, Brother Yang."

"We are all brothers. Don't be polite. By the way, tell Grandpa Ning to tell him to take it easy. I remember that he sprained his waist last time when he was doing 'summoning the spirits'..."

Ning Helan wanted to laugh when he thought of this. He told Qin Yang that he got it and then hung up the phone.

"Grandpa, Brother Yang just told me." Ning Helan returned to the living room and told Ning Guohua what he had just heard.

Similarly, when Ning Guohua heard that the two were born on the same day, his face suddenly darkened.

"Oh, what a coincidence, these two people were born on the same day, but it's a pity that they didn't die on the same day, otherwise it would be even more coincidental." Fang Hui said beside him.

Hearing such cold words, Ning Helan couldn't help but glance at him.

Fang Hui obviously didn't know what he said wrong, and met Ning Helan's eyes: "What?"

Ning Helan didn't look at him again, and walked to Ning Guohua: "Grandpa, what are you going to do? This ball of... air in front of you, is it a soul?"

Ning Guohua hummed, turned to look at the figure: "Zhou Yong, tell me about your story, just talk."

Zhou Yong is 30 years old this year. He has a good family condition since he was a child. His parents love each other, and there is a younger sister at home. The two children are obedient and sensible, and the family atmosphere is harmonious and loving.

He has been studying in the best local school since he was a child. After graduating from the key high school in Tong'an City, he was admitted to a 985 university. Later, after graduation, he successfully found a job in Weiyong Enterprise in this city.

This is his seventh year in the job. Zhou Yong is already the head of their department and has a beautiful fiancée. They are going to go home and get married during the Chinese New Year.

"... I didn't expect that I wouldn't be able to go home this year either." Zhou Yong said, "I don't know what happened to my fiancée. She went abroad and hasn't come back yet."

The others could tell that Zhou Yong had a smooth life and lived better than most people.

He died at the age of 30. It can be said that he died young because of God's jealousy of his talent.

"Zhou Yong, do you still remember how you died?" Ning Guohua asked him.

The ghost Zhou Yong seemed confused. He thought for a moment before saying, "I don't remember... When I opened my eyes, I was taken away by the ghost. Later, the ghost said something like the master wanted to see me, and I felt a gust of wind. When I opened my eyes again, I was here."

Fang Hui looked at Ning Guohua, who had a sullen face just now, but now showed a gentle smile. He moved closer to the figure and said, "Since you are leaving, then leave in peace. You have not done anything bad in this life, and your next life will be smooth." When

the ghost Zhou Yong heard Ning Guohua say this, he sincerely thanked him, "Thank you."

"Go..." Ning Guohua waved his hand, and the ghost quickly disappeared from the spot, and even the Five Elements and Eight Diagrams formation on the ground disappeared with it.

The talisman that had turned into a formation before quickly turned into a dull gray, and turned into fine powder. When the wind blew, it disappeared completely.

Although Ning Helan didn't know what the "soul" had just said to the other two, he felt the light in front of him dim, and the formation that he could vaguely see. At this moment, he was staring at the place where the talisman disappeared.

Fang Hui couldn't stay idle, so he came over and asked him: "Little Taoist priest, what can you see? Can you see the soul just now?"

"No." Ning Helan said.

"Then you can't hear what we say?" Fang Hui asked again.

Ning Helan hummed and looked at Fang Hui in a strange way. Fang Hui sighed faintly: "Alas..."

"What?" Ning Helan found Fang Hui's behavior very pretentious.

Fang Hui shrugged and approached him and said in a sneaky way: "Hey brother, do you know that when I was in the underworld, a ball of light told me that if I wanted to reincarnate, I had to ask you for help, but now you can't see these things~~~, tell me honestly, you are not pretending not to see?"

"Why can't you reincarnate?" Ning Helan didn't listen to the rest of the words, but grasped the key point of the words.

Then Fang Hui was poked in the sore spot by this key point. He was suddenly stuck, his expression froze on his face, and Ning Helan stared at him with her eyes downcast.

Seeing Fang Hui's mouth twitching slightly, Ning Helan raised her eyebrows slightly, with a glimmer of suspicion in her eyes: "Hmm?"

"...Uh..." How to explain, you can't say that you didn't do anything good in your life and were judged by the ghost to be unable to reincarnate, right?

"Xiao Lan, come here." Ning Guohua shouted over there, and Ning Helan no longer bothered with Fang Hui about this issue. After looking at Fang Hui, she walked over.

Fang Hui finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Grandpa, what's wrong?" Ning Helan saw Ning Guohua holding his hands.

Ning Guohua said: "Xiao Lan, I always feel that this matter is not right, something is missing..."
