Chapter 40 Chapter 40
Yuan Tian finally agreed to Cong Shu's request and went to help him.
Of course, it was mainly because he was kind-hearted, not because Cong Shu promised to pay him back the money he had previously taken from him as his reward.
After hanging up the phone, Xiao Jing came up to him and asked, "Boss, what should I do? Should I follow you?"
"Go home after you finish eating." Yuan Tian said decisively, "That place happens to be on our way home. I'll take a taxi and drop you and the things we bought off on the way home. You go home and stay there quietly until I come back."
"Okay." Xiao Jing obeyed the instructions very obediently.
When Yuan Tian arrived at the location sent by Cong Shu, the sun was about to set. He kept in touch with Cong Shu along the way, but starting from five minutes before he got off the car, Cong Shu never replied to his message. This made him a little worried, and he ran directly to the company after getting off the car.
Chen Xiaofu's business was doing well, and his company occupied one floor of a building. It was no wonder that he was willing to invest in rebuilding their village, so his assets were certainly not too weak.
However, it was probably past the time to get off work, so there were not many people in the building, and even fewer people in Chen Xiaofu's company. The door was locked, and Yuan Tian had to use her spiritual power to condense a butterfly, and floated in through the gap to explore the way.
However, Butterfly searched the room thoroughly but could not find anyone. Just then his cell phone rang, and he quickly took it out. It was Cong Shu.
[In the underground garage]
It seemed that something had happened, and Yuan Tian rushed to the elevator quickly.
The lights in the garage were dim, and there were not many cars parked. The place was quite spacious, so Yuan Tian could see Cong Shu leaning against the wall not far from the elevator, holding his stomach with a painful look on his face.
Next to him was a skinny man with pale hair in his forties or fifties, with a haggard face and looking in a certain direction ahead with guilt in his eyes.
In that direction, a female ghost who was dressed simply but covered in water stains, and who was obviously drowned, was being bound by a talisman specially made by Sande Temple. She was staring at the man with resentful eyes.
Yuan Tian walked straight past the ghost girl and came to the pale Cong Shu, and asked with concern: "What happened? Were you hurt by the ghost girl?"
But he thought in his heart that this shouldn't be the case. In his opinion, although the female ghost had some abilities, she wouldn't be injured so badly by Cong Shu.
Cong Shu waved his hands in pain: "No, I don't just have a stomachache, I have food poisoning!"
Yuan Tian: “…………”
He sighed helplessly and said, "Why don't you go to the hospital first and I'll help you clean up."
"That's fine," Cong Shu struggled to stand up with a hunched back, and said with difficulty: "Remember to interrogate Hua Mu's grandmother for me. I just subdued this female ghost and didn't have time to ask. Also, the person next to me is Chen Xiaofu, and the female ghost was following him."
Yuan Tian nodded and took out her cell phone to make a call. Cong Shu waved his hand and said, "No need to call an ambulance. I can do it myself..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw Yuan Tian talking to the phone sweetly: "Brother Tang, I have something to do tonight, I guess I will be back late...eat barbecue? Okay, but I guess it will be around eight or nine, you should eat something first..."
After finishing the call, Yuan Tian turned to look at Cong Shu: "I didn't pay attention to what you just said."
Cong Shu had a blank expression on his face: "Nothing." I just accidentally got a little too sentimental.
Yuan Tian smiled at him and waved her phone: "It's a pity that you have food poisoning and can't eat barbecue with me and my boyfriend."
Cong Shu: “…………” There’s no need to emphasize the word “boyfriend” so much! Damn, bullying someone for not having a boyfriend!
He wiped his face and was about to ask when these two got together, since they didn't seem to have gotten together last time they met. But before he could open his mouth, he saw a cloud of black mist suddenly attack Yuan Tian's hind legs.
Cong Shu's pupils shrank and he shouted, "Get out of the way!"
At the same time, he subconsciously reached out to pull Yuan Tian away, but it was too late. Everything happened too quickly, and in an instant the black mist hit Yuan Tian hard, pushing him a few meters away until he hit one of the heavy stone pillars in the parking lot.
Several cracks immediately appeared on the stone pillar, and then Yuan Tian fell heavily to the ground, stirring up some dust.
Cong Shu panicked, and regardless of his stomachache, he quickly ran to Yuan Tian, squatted down and helped Yuan Tian up, who was lying on the ground, and asked nervously, "How is it, are you okay?"
Seeing that Yuan Tian was able to stand up with the help of his help, and apart from her pale face and some minor abrasions on her skin, she didn't seem to have any serious problems, Cong Shu finally felt relieved.
Yuan Tian waved his hands, exhaled a breath of turbid air, and then quickly said: "It's okay, I will cover my body with spiritual power, it's not a big problem."
After saying that, he looked in the direction where the attack came from.
I saw a figure slowly walking out from behind the pillar.
The man was dressed in a suit and black-framed glasses, and at first glance he looked like an ordinary office worker. The only difference was that one of his hands was wrapped in a bloody bandage.
Chen Xiaofu and Cong Shu exclaimed at the same time, "Master Mo!" "Mo Kaize!"
Oh, it turns out to be an old acquaintance.
Yuan Tian frowned, looked at him, then looked at the bandage on his hand, and asked coldly: "A while ago, you attacked a boy on the road and tried to take over his body?"
Mo Kaize didn't deny anyone, but smiled and raised his bleeding hand: "Thanks to you and Mr. Tang, I won't be using this body for long."
He and Brother Tang? Yuan Tian quickly recalled and finally figured it out - the last time he attacked him, Brother Tang stood in front of him. At that time, a strong energy did emerge from Brother Tang's body and automatically counterattacked Mo Kaize.
It must have been that counterattack that left Mo Kaize's hand with an unhealable, bleeding wound, forcing him to find someone to possess.
Yuan Tian had not expected that Brother Tang's energy would be so lethal, but he did not have time to think about it at this moment. He put one hand behind his back and quietly made hand gestures, his face expressionless, and asked in a cold voice: "What happened to Chen Xiaofu, and his summoning of the power to perform the ritual, were you behind the scenes controlling it?"
"Yeah." Mo Kaize was unexpectedly straightforward and said, "I think you're in good health now. How about you make a deal with me?"
Yuan Tian raised his eyebrows: "Tell me about it."
Mo Kaize approached him slowly, with a hint of temptation in his voice: "Everyone has a wish, and I'm sure you are no exception. Tell me what your wish is, and I'll make it happen for you. As a condition, after your wish is fulfilled, you have to voluntarily give me your body."
He pointed at Chen Xiaofu, then at the female ghost: "His wish is to have his woman return to him. Look, I did it."
Chen Xiaofu's face turned pale, and he said in a lost voice: "That doesn't count at all! I want her to come back alive..."
Mo Kaize took his glasses slowly, revealing a pair of dark eyes. He curled his lips and smiled: "Didn't I say that when you find two or three more capable people, I can help you realize your wish..."
Yuan Tian also imitated him and smiled: "It's a pity that you can't fulfill my wish. Because..."
He stretched out his hands behind his back, palms facing forward, and a long sword condensed from a light blue light instantly broke through the air and struck Mo Kaize.
Mo Kaize didn't even dodge or evade, letting the long sword pierce him. A ball of black mist condensed in his hand and smashed towards Yuan Tian.
It seemed like a fight to the death. Yuan Tian was shocked and wanted to hide, but it was too late. He could only hastily condense a thin layer of light curtain to protect his body.
Fortunately, Cong Shu, who was standing by, was not stupid either. He raised his sword to block for Yuan Tian. Although he failed to completely block it, he managed to relieve some of the opponent's attack. The black mist was blocked by him, and when it fell on Yuan Tian, it only knocked him back a few steps, which was not that severe.
He didn't care about anything else and looked at Mo Kaize. He saw a bloody hole on the man's body, and he was lying straight on the ground. Not far behind him, a man in black clothes and long hair was floating in the air.
The man was handsome, with a teardrop mole at the corner of his eye. He was looking at Yuan Tian with a half-smile. There was a burnt patch on one of his hands, which was where the bandages were wrapped around his body.
He said in a deep voice, "If I hadn't gotten away quickly, I would have died by now. I didn't expect that the Taoist sect would have such a young and powerful person... It's rare to find someone as young and powerful as you..."
There was some greed in his eyes, and he was obviously more attracted to the spiritual power in Yuan Tian's body. But after a moment, he waved his hand, not knowing what he was worried about: "Forget it, I won't play with you today."
Having said that, he prepared to float away.
Yuan Tian suddenly smiled: "You want to leave, have you asked me?"
As soon as the words fell, a faint blue light appeared under their feet.
Cong Shu was surprised and asked, "Fellow Daoist Yang An, when did you create the Soul Binding Formation?"
Yuan Tian glanced at him with disdain, then looked at Mo Kaize and smiled particularly sweetly: "I see that you are quite capable, do you want to be a local government official? Work from nine to five, with food and lodging provided, it's very nice..."
That’s great, I can send another one!
Mo Kaize seemed quite surprised as well. He looked at the spiritual lines extending from the ground formation and wrapped around himself, and then looked at Yuan Tian.
After a while, he sneered: "I still underestimated you."
As soon as he finished speaking, black mist surged around him, and he broke the spiritual thread without caring about the damage to his soul and body, and flew away from the soul-binding formation. Then he turned around and gave Yuan Tian a cold look like a venomous snake, and quickly floated away.
Cong Shu held his stomach and asked in a low voice: "Daoyou Yang An, are you going to chase me?"
Yuan Tian looked unhappy and shook his head: "I won't chase you anymore."
The spiritual energy consumption was quite large, and his internal organs felt a bit uncomfortable. He took two deep breaths before saying, "He forcibly broke free from the soul-binding formation, and his soul must have been injured. It is estimated that he will not be able to recover for a while. Go back and talk to the leaders of your temple."
Cong Shu naturally understood the principle of taking advantage of his illness to kill him, and nodded in agreement. Then he saw that Yuan Tian still had a worried look on his face, so he asked, "Daoyou, what's wrong?"
Yuan Tian pressed his solar plexus and said to himself, "I feel like he looks familiar..."
"We met last time." Cong Shu didn't care and said, "Hey, the pain in my stomach has gone away, and I can still hold on for the time being. Otherwise, let me take care of the rest. Fellow Daoist Yang An, I see that you don't look very well, why don't you go back first..."
Yuan Tian thought that what looked familiar was not the body, but Mo Kaize's soul. His soul was completely different from his body, and the body of Mo Kaize left on the ground was already dry, obviously he had died a long time ago. It was just unknown what kind of evil magic the ghost had used to take over his body and use it until now.
At this moment, Tang Yang, who was still working overtime in the company, suddenly felt a little uneasy. He looked at his phone, then looked at Xiao Li who was working overtime with him conscientiously, and pulled his collar irritably.
"Boss Tang, what's wrong?" Xiao Li asked, "Did you find any new problems?"
"It's okay." Tang Yang said in a harsh tone, picked up his phone, opened WeChat to send a voice message, and his voice suddenly changed 180 degrees to become gentle.
Here, Yuan Tian was about to ask Cong Shu for his reward when his cell phone rang with a message. He picked it up and saw that it was from his elder brother Tang.
When I clicked on it, there was a voice message: "Yuan, I've thought about it and decided that we should go eat coconut chicken, which is better for our health..."
Yuan Tian's eyebrows and eyes suddenly showed a little smile, and she took out her phone to send a voice message: "Okay, see you later."
After saying that, he put away his phone and looked at Cong Shu. What came into his sight was Cong Shu's terrified face.
He was a little confused. Could it be that Mo Kaize had struck back again?
Just as he was about to explore around, he suddenly felt something slipping from his nose, across his lips and chin, and dripping onto his hand.
One drop, two drops...
He slowly raised his hand and half-bent it to catch the liquid. In the blink of an eye, a small puddle of blood-red water formed on his palm.
The internal organs in the body suddenly felt dislocated and severe pain began to attack Yuan Tian's body and consciousness with overwhelming force.
He reached out his hand to Cong Shu, who seemed to be frightened by the sudden change, and opened his mouth, trying to explain something. But faster than words, the blood gushed out from his throat...
At this moment, Tang Yang, who was far away, suddenly felt his heart tremble for no reason, and the cup between his fingers could not be held anymore, and it shattered to the ground.
Cong Shu had never been so panicked as he was now, not even when Mo Kaize came to kill him just now.
Obviously everything was over, but the fellow Taoist who was still talking and laughing the previous second suddenly lost all the color of his lips, and the next second he had a nosebleed.
The look of as if all the blood in the body was about to drain out in one breath made Cong Shu panic and afraid.
It was not until Yuan Tian opened his mouth, spat out more blood, and his body gradually went limp that he reacted. He hurriedly caught the person before he fell to the ground and checked him nervously.
His pupils were already dilated, and Yuan Tian's consciousness was obviously blurred.
Cong Shu immediately cried out, "Don't faint! You... hold on! Don't die, I'll take you to the hospital right away..."
That sounds really bad...
In a trance, Yuan Tian thought so with disdain.
He finally bit his tongue hard to retain the last bit of consciousness.
He grabbed Cong Shu's sleeve fiercely, his knuckles turned white, and said in a vague and weak voice: "I, I have a last will..."
