Chapter 23 The evil thing
was lying peacefully on the bed, tossing and turning, still unable to fall asleep while smelling the sleeping incense that was lit before going to bed, so he decided to go for a walk.
When passing by the empty room, she deliberately slowed down and pricked her ears to hear if there was any movement in the room, but the room was completely silent and no sound came from it.
She felt a little confused, because this house had always been a headache for her - she had originally chosen this house for Zhang Jigang because the boy's resentful spirit lived in it, which made other guests afraid to move in. It doesn’t matter if you don’t want the fee.
When she discovered the ghost, she immediately cast a seal in an attempt to expel it from this area. In her sect, she was best at formations and drawing talismans. She had never failed before meeting Ah Chao, but this time it was a complete failure.
She asked him and lectured him, but there was no response. The sneakiness gradually deepened and gradually turned into a shadow hanging from the beams. If frightened by thunderstorms, it would crawl under the bed.
The child had a deep obsession and was extremely stubborn. He stayed here for a month.
But now, these two new guests have no reaction at all. This is really abnormal!
Thinking of this, An Ran felt a twinge of doubt in her heart. She began to wonder if these two people who were so calm and could stay there for so long without panicking and escaping from the house really had the strength that should not be underestimated.
Maybe it can solve this problem for her? Then this time we can take the opportunity to test them.
She decided to wait and see how the two would react.
Time passed by minute by second, and An Ran became a little impatient with waiting. She couldn't help but wonder what the boy from the Zhang family and the handsome man he brought with him were doing... Could they really just be sleeping?
Or are they aware of something and deliberately silent?
The more An Ran thought about it, the more anxious she became, and at the same time she became more and more curious about their true identity and purpose.
"Senior sister...you promised not to trouble Cui Yu anymore, why are you peeking here now?" Tu Minglang couldn't help but joked when he saw An Ran lying guarding outside the door.
An Ran glared at Tu Minglang fiercely, lightly tapped his forehead with her finger, and said in an indifferent tone: "Stupid! Aren't we cooperating with them now? The stronger they are, the more beneficial they are to us. This is true. , but you have to understand clearly whether you are an enemy or a friend, right?"
Tu Mingliang suddenly realized, and then he was a little confused: "But what if it fails?"
An Ran sneered: "If it fails, the whole village will be overthrown by these two people. "Look, even a tourist bus hasn't been able to come in after such a long time, but they managed to be in the same class as you and didn't die in the evil tide. Do you think it's normal?"
Tu Minglang nodded, feeling that what the senior sister said made sense. , he stopped asking any more questions and stayed by his side quietly.
An Ran continued to lie on the door and eavesdrop, but unfortunately couldn't hear anything. She frowned and thought for a moment, then suddenly took out a talisman from her arms, muttered something, and then stuck the talisman on the door.
A faint light suddenly appeared on the talisman paper, and then, the scene in the house appeared in front of An Ran's eyes.
I saw Zhang Jigang sitting on the bed with a serious face, reading a directory in his hand, and muttered to the boy in front of him from time to time.
The boy had recovered his body and looked haggard. He was lying quietly on the bed, his eyes closed, and he seemed to have fallen asleep.
An Ran was secretly happy, it really worked, so she could see what was going on inside.
She carefully observed Zhang Jigang's movements and expressions, and found that there seemed to be nothing special about him. He just kept repeating the same spell. The method to restore the boy's true identity was a spell that she was not familiar with and could not evaluate.
However, An Ran knows that exploring the hidden side of the other party requires patience and time and cannot be rushed.
Under his nose, these two people would definitely not dare to reveal their hidden intentions, and they would have to stay strong and calm in the room. The whole night passed, but Zhang Jigang didn't even come to her guest room to mention the boy.
"Minglang, don't hide it from your senior sister. Have you known for a long time that this unusual character named Cui Yu?"
Tu Minglang tilted his head and said in a low voice: "We have been independent since we started as teachers. Have we ever encountered any ordinary people ?" Human... Senior sister, I still have to advise you not to interfere in other people's family affairs."
An Ran: "How can this be a family matter? Grandmaster Xun Baishan united dozens of ghost exorcists from the six major families to work together. The dangerous ghost realm in Yin Yang Street has been eliminated. Even if he is gone, I still admire him in my heart. I will definitely take care of the Zhang family's affairs!"
Tu Minglang has heard An Ran say it so much over the years that he can memorize it as a catchphrase, he said. He waved his hand: "Okay, I know, senior sister, you want to lament the untimely death of my grandmaster, so you called me here just to tell me to take care of my grandmaster's descendants. Are you going to attack me?"
He must be his junior brother, who has been smart since he was a child. Smart. It had been like this before. With just a look from her An Ran, Tu Minglang could instantly understand that the master was about to return, so he quickly turned off the lights and pretended to be asleep to avoid being beaten.
An Ran and Tu Mingliang once lived in seclusion in the mountains and forests for a period of time. During that time, they lived as if they were cultivating immortals, staying away from the hustle and bustle of the world and having little contact with the outside world.
Unfortunately, after that, the ghost riots triggered a series of vicious social crimes. Coupled with factors such as media communication and mountain and forest land rectification after the millennium, they had to leave that comfortable life and return to the real world.
At this moment, the master called them together and said seriously: "An Ran, Ming Ming, you two have learned my true inheritance and have the ability to stand alone. Now you should leave here and go to the outside world. "
In a word, go where the people need me!"
An Ran had no complaints. She had enjoyed a leisurely life for so long that she was unaware of the passage of time.
In the blink of an eye, she is already in her thirties and is still a beautiful and "single" woman.
But the master told her that she was going to Diannan Town, Dian City, where she would spend the rest of her life and become the "patron saint" of the local villagers. This decision made her feel aggrieved. After all, the town was notoriously remote and shabby, but she didn't want to No choice.
Days passed, and just then her junior brother came from other places to visit and brought two young guests.
Her curiosity was aroused and she began to pay attention to them... But as she observed, she felt more and more that Cui Yu must have done it deliberately by following the descendants of the ancestor. Every frown and smile seemed to be planned. Yes, he is an evil creature with deep scheming intentions.
But she has no evidence yet.
"Minglang, Silang has been carefully cultivated by the master for more than ten years. It was not until he died that he saw it successfully transform into a human form. So, how long do you think it will take Cui Yu to do it?"
Tu Minglang listened to Anran's words. , thinking about what happened in the past few days in my mind.
Suddenly an idea flashed, and he thought of something. His eyes became sharp, and he said to An Ran: "I think, hey, I think he didn't tell the truth at all. To be more clear, I had already guessed that the pocket watch was just used by him to possess him. It's not the real thing at all."
An Ran looked at Junior Brother Conghui in front of him, a trace of relief flashed in his eyes.
Then, she picked up Tu Minglang, took him outside the B&B, and carefully set up a magic circle.
"As early as the first day he came in, Silang had a great reaction. I have never seen him like that. He was so excited that he was attracted by the meat. I thought he had smelled the trace of the ancestor's descendants. The smell of stillbirth... No, it's not." An Ran frowned as he said it, seeming to be thinking about something.
When Tu Minglang heard this, he also began to recall the scene at that time.
He remembered that Silang was indeed extremely excited at the time, but he didn't think much about it.
Thinking about it now, it turned out that Silang had noticed the uninvited guests much earlier than they did.
"Then tell me, what makes Silang so excited?" Tu Minglang asked doubtfully.
An Ran was silent for a moment, and then slowly said: "I suspect that there may be something hidden in Cui's body that can arouse Silang's interest. Moreover, judging from his behavior, he must have other purposes for following the descendants of the Zhang family. ...Minglang, we must deal with it carefully and not let him succeed."
Tu Minglang nodded in agreement.
Since they decided to continue observing in secret, looking for more clues, and uncovering the truth hidden by Cui, they had to make complete preparations first.
This includes setting up formations and drawing boundaries without revealing the wind, in case the walls have ears.
Also, if you really encounter some difficult evil thing, you must be ready to work together to disinfect it at any time.
Tu Minglang shrugged and said: "If you go by your guess, then Cui Yu should be some kind of evil creature whose origin we don't know. He doesn't have the aura of a ghost on him, but look at... the Zhang family That kid is alive and well, and I even saw that evil thing wiping his mouth affectionately... Eh..."
"Let you see the true nature! Why... do you see people being intimate? ?" An Ran couldn't help but slap Tu Minglang, and at the same time looked back from time to time, as if he was afraid of being discovered.
"Tomorrow morning, you lead them to the cave and don't say anything." An Ran asked in a low voice.
Tu Minglang showed a confused look and asked puzzledly: "That is the place where Siyue Fox and Foxtail are suppressed. There are many dangers there. If Zhang Jigang is not informed in advance, there may be dangers, right?"
An Ran emphasized again: "Remember, don't tell them any details. Once the magic weapon signs a contract with its owner, any transformation will be under the control of its owner. Although they have not completed this step, I have never seen the magic weapon be able to complete the killing independently. Action, do you understand? "
"You mean, let the evil spirits in the cave rage and see how he reacts? " "
...Yes, this way, we can feel more confident. Determine whether this thing is really just an ordinary one-star. "
In fact, combined with the various signs observed before, Enron's guess is very close to the truth.
But even if Li Village is a place under her jurisdiction, she cannot punish a person and ghost who has not committed a crime without confidence.
Tu Minglang rubbed his chin, his eyes full of worries. After thinking for a moment, he slowly asked: "Senior sister, if it is finally confirmed that he is not a magic weapon, but..."
At this point, he He paused, as if he didn't know how to continue expressing his concerns.
When An Ran heard Tu Minglang's words, she felt a little tangled in her heart, but she still responded calmly: "If this is really the case, then he must be killed!" There was determination and severity in her tone, as if she had already done it. Prepare for the worst.
