Chapter 13
"Go back like this?" Xie looked at the body lying on the ground and frowned.
Xie didn't pay attention when he was moving the body, but then he discovered that an unknown object had fallen out of the body's mouth. He squatted down and picked up the pile of talisman paper that had been rotten beyond recognition.
"What is this?" Xie tried to piece together the talisman paper, but the pattern on it was something he had never seen before in the collection of talisman paper.
Could it be that the Complete Collection of Talisman Paper is actually incomplete? Not really, but Xie didn't think Jing Xiebai would recommend an incomplete book for him to study.
"Don't look at it. This is a sorcery used to suppress evil spirits." Jing Xiebai pulled Xie Que up from the ground. "Let's go. Without the evil spirits, the evil god down there will wake up."
The evil ghosts and the evil gods have always suppressed each other. Now that the evil ghosts are gone, the evil gods will dominate.
The best way to quickly restore the strength of the suppressed evil god is of course a blood sacrifice. If they don't leave, they will be in big trouble.
Xie nodded, no longer caring about the talisman paper, and followed Jing Xiebai downstairs.
Neither of them was talkative, and for a moment the villa was completely silent.
What broke the silence was a strange "hissing" sound.
"It's bad." Jing Xiebai's face changed and he quickly walked to the first floor in two steps.
Xie quickened his pace when he heard the voice. Even though he had prepared himself mentally, he still couldn't help but gasp when he saw it.
The statue on the altar had walked into the living room at some point, its mouth slowly opening to the sides, revealing a strange and vicious smile. Its eyeballs fell out of its sockets, and it made greedy and disgusting swallowing sounds from its mouth.
The most terrifying thing was the statue's belly. It was clearly made of wood, but now it was covered in flesh. Xie watched as its belly continued to grow larger and larger, until it was almost transparent. Even from a few meters away, Xie could clearly see the snake surging inside.
"Use the talisman paper and don't let him run around!" Jing Xiebai threw a handful of talisman paper at Xie Que without looking back, and holding the sword in his right hand, he cut his palm hard.
In an instant, blood gushed out from Jing Xiebai's hand like beads with broken strings, dripping onto the ground and gathering into strange patterns.
"In my name, I petition the gods and offer my blood as a sacrifice to seal the evil here." Jing Xiebai quickly chanted the spell in a low voice. As if he was dissatisfied with the slow flow of blood, Jing Xiebai cut the wound with another sword. This time the cut was very deep, so deep that the bone could be seen.
The blood flowed out quickly on the ground. The snake in the statue's belly sensed the danger and sped up its movement. Finally, it bit a hole in the statue's belly. Snakes kept coming out of the belly and escaping out the door.
Xie Que was waiting for this moment. He took out a talisman paper and injected a large amount of spiritual power into it. The moment the talisman paper came into contact with the spiritual power, it burned and emitted a red light. Xie Que seized the opportunity and quickly threw the talisman paper at the snake.
"Ahhhhh." The snake hit by the talisman paper let out a roar and pounced towards Xie Que desperately.
"Be careful!" Jing Xiebai was paying attention to Xie Que's actions. When he saw the snake rushing towards him, he subconsciously raised his sword and slashed it into the air. The snake's body broke into two pieces, and the dark green body fluids sprayed on the ground, emitting a foul smell.
"Hold on a little longer! My formation will be complete soon!" Jing Xiebai pressed his palm anxiously, trying to make the blood flow faster.
Xie took two steps back towards the gate, the talisman paper in his hand kept coming, and he said calmly: "Okay."
There were too many snakes, so Xie could only use both hands. For a while, there was a constant flash of fire in front of his eyes.
I don’t know how long it took, but Jing Xiebai finally finished drawing the formation just one second before Xie Que’s talisman paper ran out. He cut off the snake in front of Xie Que with a sword and pulled Xie Que to avoid the snake’s attacks.
The blood-drawn formation was so powerful that no more snakes escaped from the statue. Instead, they coiled themselves tightly around it, constantly searching for a gap.
"Huh..." After beheading the last snake, Jing Xiebai stopped and took a deep breath. "Which bastard released this evil god? I haven't been this tired in a long time."
Jing Xiebai put Xie Que down and leaned against the wall. Beads of sweat dripped from his head, but he didn't care. His eyes were fixed on the evil god who was struggling in the formation, fearing that something unexpected would happen.
"Here." Xie took out a piece of paper and gave it to Jing Xiebai.
The blood array had already been activated, and Xie recognized it as a sealing array, but he didn't know there was an array drawn with blood. After losing so much blood, it would be strange if Jing Xiebai could be in good condition.
Being a ghost exorcist is a very dangerous job.
Xie stared at the blood formation and thought wildly.
The blood formation emitted a dark red light, and red flowers with thorns grew on the outer circle, growing towards the statue in the center of the formation and gradually wrapping around the statue's legs.
The evil god looked at the wildly growing flowers in panic, and the snakes sensed danger and scrambled back into the statue's belly.
Jing Xiebai looked at the struggling statue, a mocking smile on his face: "Stop struggling, it's a waste of energy."
Xie withdrew his gaze from the statue and looked at Jing Xiebai who was standing beside him.
Jing Xiebai's face was filled with a smile of success, and there was undisguised disdain in his eyes.
Xie Que thought that Jing Xiebai was actually more dangerous than a ghost.
He could kill the evil spirit with one sword, but he chose to cut off its head with a rope. When he met the evil spirit, he would cut his own hands twice to draw a bloody formation without batting an eyelid.
Xie suddenly wanted to laugh, and he actually laughed.
Xie Que has a fair complexion and looks like a typical "good boy". When he smiles, his eyes bend into crescent shapes, which is very cute.
Jing Xiebai heard the laughter and glanced at Xie Que, then suddenly asked, "Is your phone still charged?"
Xie Que: “?”
Jing Xiebai touched his nose and said awkwardly, "I was riding my bike too fast on the way here and broke my phone."
In a hurry to go home to watch TV series, Jing Xiebai actually rode the shared bicycle like a motorcycle.
Xie Que: “…”
Not knowing how to complain, Xie honestly took out his phone from his pocket, unlocked it and handed it to Jing Xiebai.
"Thank you." Jing Xiebai opened the dial pad and skillfully entered a number.
"Don't worry, I'll get someone to pick us up."
Three seconds later, the call was hung up.
Xie Que: “?”
Xie looked at him with a questioning look.
Are you reliable?
Jing Xiebai curled his lips, not embarrassed at all, and continued to make the call: "Don't worry, I will definitely answer this time."
The entire villa was in a dilapidated state and was filled with the stench of corpses. Jing Xiebai really didn't want to stay any longer, but fortunately the call was quickly connected.
Jing Xiebai held the phone a little further away.
"Jing Xiebai, fuck you! I'm in the middle of a group fight and you're calling me! If you want to die, can you at least pick a good day?"
Lu Jueqiu's furious roar came from the other end of the phone.
Xie didn't say anything, but just silently took a few steps away from Jing Xie Bai.
Jing Xiebai wasn't angry either. He smiled and said, "Hey, Brother Lu. I received a commission today. Guess what?"
Jing Xiebai stopped talking and kept Lu Jueqiu in suspense.
Lu Jueqiu: "You better give me an answer that satisfies me."
Lu Jueqiu didn't want to pay attention to Jing Xiebai. He was preparing for the next team battle and typing away on the keyboard. He could even hear his teammates cursing through the phone.
Jing Xiebai: "There's an evil god here who knows where, and there's also a corpse. Most importantly, that Taoist priest who practices sorcery has been here."
"What?"
The keyboard sounds stopped, replaced by the sound of a door closing.
"Send me the address. Who dares to worship the evil god?"
Anything that could make Jing Xiebai call in the middle of the night must be no small matter. Since Lu Jueqiu established the forum, he has been committed to recording all kinds of strange commissions. This is the first time that Lu Jueqiu has encountered a commission related to the evil god. Jing Xiebai was afraid that if he arrived too late, the Taoist priest would take over the case first.
After all, worshipping an evil god is no small matter, and it will definitely leave some traces.
The most important thing is that the Lu family has a strong network of connections. It was originally only a matter of time to find the Taoist priest, and now that he has come to the door, it is even easier to investigate.
"The car keys are in the shoe cabinet, come quickly." After saying this, Jing Xiebai hung up the phone and dialed another number.
"Find a few people to keep an eye on Wang Qiang, and find someone from the Jing family. Don't let him die." Jing Xiebai hung up the phone without waiting for the other party to answer.
"Here you go." After returning the phone to Xie Que, Jing Xiebai couldn't stand the smell anymore, so he took the initiative to open the doors and windows to let in some air.
"Who is Wang Qiang?" Xie couldn't help but ask. He remembered that the company's boss's last name was not Wang.
Jing Xiebai stood by the window, glanced back at Xie Que, and said, "The former boss of the place where you work sold the building to your boss, but he didn't deal with the ghost completely, so your boss has to bear the consequences of this."
The matter is very clear at this point. Wang Qiang simply killed someone because of some grudge, and as a result, he was visited by an evil ghost. Wang Qiang was really miserable, and he didn't know where he got an evil god to suppress the ghost. Although the ghost was solved, his life was almost over.
But that wasn't right. No matter how resentful this evil spirit was, it couldn't balance the evil god. I'm afraid Wang Qiang had done something else.
When Jing Xiebai thought of this, his eyes turned cold, and he turned around and pulled Xie Que up to the second floor.
"Look again, there must be more bodies."
The best way to increase the power of evil spirits is blood sacrifice. For people like Wang Qiang, as long as they are responsible for human lives, it doesn't matter how many lives they take.
Xie Que also thought of this, frowned, and thought that Wang Qiang must have done something evil in the past and really didn't take the law seriously at all.
The second floor is much messier than the first floor, with broken glass everywhere. You can easily get scratched when walking.
"Search separately and shout when you find one."
Jing Xiebai walked straight to the room at the end of the corridor. Since the evil ghost died here, the other corpses should be here too.
Xie Que glanced at Jing Xiebai, then turned and walked towards the opposite room.
The other rooms on the second floor were simply decorated, and one could basically tell if there was anything hidden by just taking a quick look. However, Xie still went in and searched carefully. After all, who knew if there might be any secret compartments inside.
“Found it!”
Just as Xie Que was about to rummage through the wardrobe, he heard Jing Xiebai's voice.
