I took out my phone and saw that it was Zhang Guangyin calling.
I answered the phone and said, "Brother Yin."
"Changming, have you finished delivering your packages? Where are they now? Have you had lunch yet?"
Zhang Guangyin's slightly concerned voice came from the other end of the phone, which almost gave me goosebumps.
If he didn't need my help now, and if there weren't any dirty tricks entangled with him, he wouldn't have called me at all, and he wouldn't be so concerned about my well-being now.
I suppressed a laugh and said calmly, "Brother Yin, I've already delivered all the packages. I'm shopping on the street now and will be back at the courier station in a bit."
"Then come back quickly. A new mutton restaurant has opened in town. I want to go, but I can't find anyone to go with."
"Okay, I understand. I'll go back now."
I hung up the phone and rode my bike to the courier station.
When I returned to the courier station, Zhang Guangyin was already waiting at the door, along with the young man named Deng Xiaohong.
Almost as soon as I entered the station, Zhang Guangyin greeted me with a big smile.
"Changming, let's go have a big meal." Zhang Guangyin came up to me, patted my shoulder, and his pale face showed a kind expression.
When I saw that Deng Xiaohong was also going, I immediately lost interest. I picked up the things in my hand and said, "Brother Yin, I have some things to do to prepare for tonight."
Zhang Guangyin understood what I meant and quickly said, "Okay, then Changming, you go ahead and do your work. Xiao Deng and I will go grab a bite to eat and then come right back."
Zhang Guangyin followed Deng Xiaohong outside. After a short while, Deng Xiaohong got into the Toyota Reiz parked next to the courier station, and Zhang Guangyin also opened the car door and got in.
Zhang Guangyin doesn't own a car. This Reiz is obviously Deng Xiaohong's. I didn't expect Deng Xiaohong to be so rich. If he doesn't have any ulterior motives for working at the courier station, is he just trying to experience life?
I still prefer the former, after all, I have enough money to buy a Reiz, and my salary of two thousand yuan is simply not enough to cover the expenses.
I had already given that small room to Deng Xiaohong, and I didn't want to draw talismans in front of others, so I carried my things and went straight into Zhang Guangyin's office. Anyway, he had gone to eat and wouldn't be back for a while.
I laid the talisman papers flat on my desk, then mixed the cinnabar with white wine, and began to draw the talismans using my magic power, based on my memory.
I was already very familiar with these simple talismans, but after using my magic to draw one, I suddenly felt dizzy and slumped back into my chair, feeling extremely weak.
This time I drew a ghost-fixing talisman. As the name suggests, if you see something evil, you just need to point the talisman at it and throw it at it. This is also the lowest level talisman in my grandfather's talisman book. There are more powerful ones later on, but they are extremely complicated. I only glanced at them at first and was unable to draw them successfully.
Now, just by drawing a ghost-fixing talisman, I feel like all my magical power has been drained.
I reached out and picked up the ghost-fixing talisman on the table. I could feel a faint magical power flowing through it, and the lines on it seemed to have come alive, possessing a great deal of spirituality.
As for whether it works or not, we'll only know after trying it. But given my grandfather's trust in me, I'm 90% confident that this ghost-stopping talisman will be effective.
However, the cost of drawing these talismans is quite high, so I'd better use my internal energy to recover first. I'll need to draw three more talismans later: a tracking talisman, a revealing talisman, and an annihilation talisman.
I sat cross-legged on the office chair, made hand seals, and began to circulate the Three Pure Ones Supreme Mantra. Then I closed my eyes, and soon I entered a meditative state.
I don't know if it's just my imagination, but I feel that my cultivation speed this time is much faster than last time, as if a large amount of spring water has suddenly flowed into a fishpond that was originally dry.
Half an hour later, I slowly opened my eyes and carefully felt my body's condition. A look of surprise appeared on my face. I felt that the magical power I had cultivated this time was even more than before.
Could it be because I depleted my magical power by drawing talismans?
Or is it because I'm becoming more and more proficient in the Three Pure Ones' Supreme Formula?
As I thought about it, I became more and more excited. Whatever the reason, it was a good thing.
I quickly picked up a pen and began to draw on the yellow paper.
A few minutes later, I looked at the completed tracking talisman and my smile became even brighter. This confirmed my earlier guess: the mana in my body had indeed increased compared to before. After drawing the talisman this time, I didn't feel dizzy, but after sensing it, I realized that there wasn't much mana left in my body.
I closed my eyes once again to practice the Three Pure Ones Supreme Technique.
After my magic power was restored, I continued drawing talismans until I finished the last one, the Annihilation Talisman. Only then did I put down my pen with satisfaction. However, just to be on the safe side, I drew another Annihilation Talisman.
There are even more powerful talismans later on, but I didn't try them because I felt that with my current abilities, I wasn't capable of drawing them.
I checked the time; it was already 5:30 PM. I wondered where Zhang Guangyin had gone to eat; he hadn't returned after three hours.
However, I wasn't in a hurry. If anyone was in a hurry, it was Zhang Guangyin. I got up and left the office, intending to wander around for a bit.
Before I knew it, I had wandered to the small house by the wall.
Unlike before, I wasn't nervous at all this time. Even if Fang Lei were still alive, with my current strength, I could escape even if I couldn't beat him.
After glancing around the hut a few times and finding nothing unusual, I continued wandering around.
A short while later, I arrived at the small house where I used to live, which is now Deng Xiaohong's dormitory. Strangely, Deng Xiaohong had already gone out, so why didn't he close the door? I had already given him the key.
Did they forget to close the door?
I don't usually go into other people's rooms, but out of kindness, I wanted to go over and close the door for him.
As soon as I arrived at the door, I saw something moving inside, but the door was half-open, so I couldn't see clearly.
Although I was curious, I didn't go in. As I closed the door, my eyes suddenly caught sight of something under the bed, and my expression instantly changed.
How could there be a dead rooster in Deng Xiaohong's room? Judging from its comb, it was obviously bleeding to death, but strangely, there was no blood on the ground.
I stopped closing the door and was about to push it open and go inside to check.
Just then, I heard the roar of a car engine coming from the entrance of the courier station. I guessed that Zhang Guangyin and Deng Xiaohong had probably returned.
I suppressed my curiosity and gently pushed the door back to its original position. If I went in to check now, I might be caught by Deng Xiaohong when she returned, which would be embarrassing.
If Deng Xiaohong says he lost some valuables, then I'll be in deep trouble no matter what.
I went back to the other side of the wall and entered the courier station through the back door.
