Chapter 20 Chapter 20 [Catching Bugs]
Ouyang Xiu: “…………” Suddenly I felt as if I was a little out of place.
Cong Shu: “…………” Compensating money or something… is indeed a bit scary.
Ahem, that's not right! He looked at Yuan Tian and frowned. What kind of monster is this? He didn't see clearly what kind of magic he used, but he just used a hand covered with spiritual power to slap the little ghost away.
It made him look like a Taoist priest using talisman paper and peach wood sword like performing acrobatics.
He stared at Yuan Tian for a while, and always felt that this simple and crude operation was mysteriously familiar, as if he had heard of it somewhere.
But now is not the time to think about that. The little ghost on the ground seemed to be injected with vitality, and the evil aura on his body became heavier, covering his skin. The dark blue veins all over his body seemed to be revitalized, and blood slowly flowed through them.
He looked up at Yuan Tian with hatred, his pure black eyes without whites flushed with blood, and he grinned, revealing a mouthful of jagged and sharp teeth like a beast cub.
He bared his teeth and roared at Yuan Tian fiercely. The sound was sharp and piercing, and accompanied by a murderous aura.
Cong Shu's eyes flashed, he clenched the peach wood sword tightly, took out a handful of talismans with his other hand, and stared at the little ghost vigilantly.
Yuan Tian's face had already become serious when Tang Yang told him that he had to pay compensation. Now, after being tentatively provoked by the little ghost, his face darkened even more.
The person most affected was Ouyang Xiu. Her scalp felt numb, her pupils constricted, and her whole body was trembling. She felt that the evil energy was rushing through her skin pores and into the gaps between her bones.
She couldn't help but look at Tang Yang, who was supposed to be an ordinary person like her, but she saw that he had a calm face and was as still as a mountain. Not to mention that he was as panicked as she was, the man even had the leisure to take something out of the shopping bag next to him.
Ouyang Xiu's teeth chattered and she stammered, "Aren't you afraid?"
"Oh, it's okay." Tang Yang said without raising his head while looking for something, "It's just a little ghost. I have seen fierce ghosts before."
He thought that although the little ghosts were evil, their killing power was not as good as that of the real evil ghosts. The former were driven by people, while the latter were killed by their own resentment. There was no comparison.
Tang Yang paused, it was strange, the last time he saw a ghost, he didn't feel scared, nor was he frightened by the ghost's evil spirit. In fact, the extremely cold and thick aura of the ghost, which made people feel sticky, made him feel a little comfortable from the bottom of his heart.
But he had never mentioned this feeling to Yuan Tian, as he felt like a T-shirt if he spoke it out. He thought, maybe this was another kind of stress response?
Ouyang Xiu: "...suddenly I feel like maybe I shouldn't be here."
Surrounded by abnormal people, she, a normal person, seems to be quite inhuman.
Tang Yang had no time to pay attention to her. After finding the things, he flipped through his phone. When he finished what he was doing, he looked up and saw Yuan Tian walking towards Xiao Gui with a heavy face. The Taoist Cong Shu from Sande Temple followed him with a vigilant face and expectation in his eyes.
He was alert to Yu Xiaogui's actions, hoping that Yu Yuantian would make another big move to kill Xiaogui in one move. However, he knew that the possibility was not high.
Cong Shu knew that young sorcerers like them would not be able to reach a high level of cultivation no matter how high they were, after all, they had practiced for a long time. He guessed that Yuan Tian's attack just now had probably exhausted all his spiritual power, and he might have already used up all his strength.
But it didn't seem right for the two of them and the ghost to be in such a stalemate, so when Yuan Tian made a move and walked towards the little ghost step by step, Cong Shu followed closely. If things didn't go right, he would push Yuan Tian away and fight the little ghost himself.
The little guy had just been injured by Yuan Tian, and although he seemed to have recovered a lot of blood now, his lethality was far less than before. Cong Shu thought that he might not be able to deal with it.
The little ghost seemed to be frightened by the beating, and did not dare to act rashly for a while. He just arched his small body, his tendons tensed, and his whole body was bent like a bow with a full string, ready to be launched.
Just when Yuan Tian was only three meters away from him, the little ghost suddenly rushed towards him like an arrow with all his strength, using his evil spirit as a sword and his body as a blade.
Cong Shu's expression changed, and he subconsciously threw a handful of talismans at the little ghost, while putting two fingers together and quickly chanting a spell.
The talisman paper flew to the little ghost automatically as if it had a soul, but it only made him scream and some black smoke came out of his body. However, his momentum to attack Yuan Tian remained unchanged, but his speed was slowed down a lot.
Seeing that Yuan Tian had no intention of hiding, Tang Yang, who was not far away, felt as if his heart was being grabbed by someone, and forgot to breathe for a moment. Without thinking, he pulled off the protective pendant on his neck and threw it at Yuan Tian fiercely.
Almost at the same time as the pendant approached Yuan Tian's body, the little ghost was also right in front of Yuan Tian.
The little ghost grinned with a hint of pride, and stretched out a pair of sharp claws towards Yuan Tian, as if he had already seen the human in front of him being torn open by him and killed to pieces.
Yuan Tian finally moved. He stretched out one hand and accurately pressed the little ghost's head, and with the other hand he firmly held the pendant thrown by Tang Yang. At the same time, his feet were not idle, and he raised his right foot to firmly hold the peach wood sword that Cong Shu was chopping at the little ghost.
"Don't mess around. You'll have to pay for it if you damage the floor." This was said to Cong Shu.
"Don't throw the amulet around. What if you accidentally make another hole in the wall?" He said this to Tang Yang.
"Little ghost, if you want to fight, go outside. If you break things here, you will have to pay for it." This was said to the little ghost.
“…………”
Silence spread among the three people and the ghost.
Tang Yang realized it even more - is this the reason why you suddenly took the initiative to walk towards the little ghost and defeated the enemy with one move?
Who could have imagined that the reason a little devil was subdued by someone in one move was that the person was afraid of losing money!
A few seconds later, the little ghost who was tied up tightly by Yuan Tian's spiritual power was thrown back into the corner with an expressionless face, unable to move.
Cong Shu held the peach wood sword in his hand, took out a talisman with an expressionless face, and threw it at the little ghost as a double insurance.
Tang Yang put on the pendant again, holding his cell phone and a bag of things and walked towards Yuan Tian.
Only Ouyang Xiu was still huddled on the sofa, not daring to move.
Yuan Tian clapped his hands, strode to the wall next to the little ghost..., reached out and touched the shallow pit that was slightly larger than a fist, with a look of heartache: "How did it make a pit..."
His voice gradually became a little helpless, and he looked at Tang Yang with expectation: "This wall, it shouldn't be expensive to repair it, right? How much does it cost to compensate?"
It turns out that he is not only afraid of losing money, but also wants to see how big and deep the pit is as soon as possible? Tang Yang: "...Fortunately, it is not a load-bearing wall, it can only be a few thousand at most."
Yuan Tian's eyes dimmed: "...I feel like fate is strangling me."
Cong Shu, who was standing by, could not bear to watch and said helplessly, "I am also involved in this matter. I will pay for it."
Yuan Tian's eyes lit up again: "Fate has let go of my throat again."
Tang Yang praised him sincerely: "It would be a waste if you didn't write a book." He spoke in a very coherent way.
In response to him, Yuan Tian's smile could not be concealed even by the mask, and her eyes were so bright and curved that it made people suddenly realize. Tang Yang suddenly felt that the mask on the child's face was somewhat annoying.
Ouyang Xiu's voice came from afar, still with a hint of tears in her voice: "Brothers, please, please deal with that little devil first!"
"Yes," Tang Yang said seriously, "Villains die because they talk too much. We can't be that kind of fool."
Cong Shu suggested: "How about I stab him to death with my sword right now?"
"There is a mastermind behind this!" Yuan Tian disagreed, "We must make him give up his master. Otherwise, if we let such a poisonous snake hide in the dark, Miss Ouyang will never be able to sleep peacefully."
Ouyang Xiu in the distance nodded frantically, that's the truth.
Cong Shu said helplessly: "Fellow Daoist, you have never raised a ghost before, right? This kind of ghost doesn't have much brains, and he will instinctively listen to whoever offers him sacrifices. If you try to reason with him, it depends on whether he wants to listen to you or not."
Yuan Tian had never come into direct contact with the little ghost, but he believed in one truth: "It's okay, I'm too lazy to reason, we can just torture him into confessing."
Cong Shu was stunned. So which sect is this fellow from? Why is he so rude?
Tang Yang shook his head in disapproval: "I think we should not fight anymore. We can tear down the hotel later. Otherwise, let me try."
"How do you want to try it?" Yuan Tian's eyes were full of curiosity.
Tang Yang said seriously: "Use love to influence him."
Cong Shu: "...It sounds like it would be better to force a confession under torture."
"…………" Yuan Tian turned sideways and stood beside him, signaling him to come forward. However, he put his left index and middle fingers together, with a blue light flickering, ready to save the situation at any time.
Cong Shu, who noticed his gesture, changed his expression slightly and there was a hint of inquiry in his eyes.
Tang Yang was seen squatting in front of the kid and taking out a lot of...snacks from the shopping bag in his hand.
There was everything from milk, potato chips, cheese sticks, candy, etc. He was calm, and placed the things in front of the kid in an orderly manner, just like handling official documents. Then, with the kid looking confused, he opened the video on his phone and put it in front of him.
Yuan Tian and Cong Shu, who were sharp-eyed, also saw several children in the video opening the same snacks as those on the scene, sharing and laughing. They kept saying things like "It's delicious" and "I want more".
The little ghost's eyes were wide open.
Tang Yang slowly picked up a lollipop, tore open the wrapper, and waved it in front of the little ghost.
"Want to eat them? Take us to your master, and they will all be yours."
Little ghost: “…………” Beast, beast! Which kid is this, bah, which kid can resist it!
Cong Shu looked dazed: "So it can be done this way..."
Seeing that the little ghost had obviously relaxed, Tang Yang clicked on a video for him while looking up at Yuan Tian and smiled at him, his eyes full of showing off.
Then he saw Yuan Tian's face was gloomy: "No, I think we should beat him up!"
"No, fellow Daoist, I think we can give it a try." Cong Shu said seriously, "The little ghost was also a child before he died. Although he has been refined, it is the instinct of a child to love eating candy and snacks. If Mr. Tang's trick of enticement works, it will be a bloodless victory."
Tang Yang ignored Cong Shu and just looked at Yuan Tian. But the child still shook his head, insisting on opposing the inducement.
He could vaguely guess why the child disagreed. He couldn't help but feel a little amused, and looked at her softly with a hint of encouragement: "What's the reason for not agreeing?"
Yuan Tian was silent for a while, and finally, under Tang Yang's encouraging gaze, she pointed at the snacks in front of the little ghost and said, "It's such a waste to give it to him..."
After a pause, he saw that there was only a gentle smile in Tang Yang's eyes, so he immediately became confident: "I want to eat it too, save it for me."
So you better beat him into confessing! After beating the little devil, all the snacks will be his!
