Chapter 17: Ningxiang's Sudden Appearance
Metaphysics Society! Hearing this, I thought of Duan Qirui.
"Master Zheng, do you know Duan Qirui?" I took off my backpack and took out a peach wood stick and copper coins from it.
Ugh! "Duan the God-hunter! Damn it, you can't be on the same level as him!"
Zheng Qihuai inside said with disdain without any hesitation.
"Uh!" I was a little surprised! In my opinion, Master Duan is quite capable, but how come Zheng Qihuai turned him into a charlatan?
Bang! Two more loud noises came from the living room, and then Zheng Qihuai could be heard coughing violently.
"Ahem! Damn it, you bastard. I'm going to fight you! Fellow Daoist, come in quickly!"
Judging from the situation, the battle inside seemed to be in full swing. However, the change in Zheng Qihuai's attitude made me twitch a few times!
"Damn it! Are you trying to kill me? Boy, if you don't come in, I'll die right now in front of you! Zhou Qi, you bastard, let's see how you end up!"
After hearing these words, looking at Zhou Qi who was scolded with a face full of shit, he couldn't help but want to laugh! This Zheng Qihuai is really a wonderful person!
"Ni Ge, you'd better go in and help!" Zhou Qi said with a look of grievance.
I nodded, reached out and took out the peach wood stick, held three copper coins in my left hand, walked forward and kicked open the door of the living room.
"Ah! You finally came! Hurry up and get this damn thing out of the way."
Before I saw anyone, Zheng Qihuai started shouting excitedly. I looked in the direction of the voice and suddenly my face became strange.
Zheng Qihuai sat cross-legged on the ground. A small golden bowl was suspended above his head, emitting a layer of light that enveloped Zheng Qihuai like an egg.
Niu Erbao's body was staring with big eyes, making strange noises in his throat, and he kept hitting it with his fists and biting it with his mouth. He even hugged it and bit it very intimately!
Zheng Qihuai had a sad face and tried his best to support the magic weapon, but the light curtain was becoming dimmer and dimmer.
Is this a ghost exorcism or a joke?
"Don't look at it! Hurry up lead this thing away. I'll attack from behind!"
Uh! Why does this sound so familiar? Isn't this what I should say?
I didn't rush over to discuss leaving with Niu Erbao's corpse. Zheng Qihuai had already sacrificed himself as bait, and I didn't want him to sacrifice in vain.
"Master Zheng, don't worry, I will remember you. I believe Zhou Qi will not forget Master Zheng's fearless spirit either."
I smiled and pinched the French finger.
"Bah! Why should I ask you to remember this? The magic of common people!"
Zheng Qihuai suddenly paused in the middle of what he was saying and looked at me with his mouth wide open.
"The sky and the earth are boundless, the chaos opens the eyes of heaven, the punishment of the gods is like thunder, shining on the eight poles, the evil spirits are punished, hurry up and obey the command!"
With his feet on the Seven Stars, the peach wood stick drew a faint shadow of Tai Chi in the air. In his left hand, three copper coins were arranged in the Sancai formation and shot directly at the back of the head and left and right shoulders of Niu Erbao's body.
Puff, puff, puff! Three consecutive sounds. Three copper coins instantly hit Niu Erbao 's body.
Niu Erbao's body suddenly stiffened, and then fell straight down.
A pool of sewage flowed down Niu Erbao's back, and in a moment the hall was filled with sewage and foul smells.
"Hurry up, boy. It's a water ghost and he's trying to run away!" The moment Zheng Qihuai escaped, he jumped onto the chair and shouted at me hurriedly.
There are formations and spells for exorcising ghosts, and peach wood sticks for fighting ghosts, but this water ghost has no specific shape. The peach wood stick immediately lost its effect.
In a hurry, I snorted coldly, took out the Qiankun Dragon-Seeking Mirror from my arms, and injected spiritual power into it.
A red dragon instantly appeared, and three diamond-shaped mirrors covered the entire ground.
Under the cover of the Three Talents Mirror, the sewage on the ground slowly began to be collected. After a while, a human-shaped water pool appeared, and a black aura appeared on the ground. This aura continued to condense, and the true appearance of the water ghost also appeared.
"Ah! Qiankun Dragon-Seeking Mirror! And the Bu Yi Magic! Am I seeing things?" The wrinkles on Zheng Qihuai's old face suddenly came together in extreme surprise.
“Don’t mind your own business!”
This water ghost has revealed its true form and stared at me viciously.
I ignored Zheng Qihuai.
"Hmph, you evildoer. Being a water ghost requires finding a substitute, but you don't chase people to their homes to harm them like you do. Today in this Three Talents Formation , I will get rid of you, this evil thing."
I snorted coldly, holding the peach wood stick in my hand, and pinched the magic finger with my left hand. A stream of spiritual power flowed along the magic finger, smeared on the peach wood sword, and stabbed forward.
Just as the water ghost in front of him was about to be stabbed by the peach wood stick, suddenly a white shadow flashed in the room, and the water ghost disappeared without a trace.
I stood there in a daze, my mind full of doubts. The white shadow only lasted for a moment, but I watched it carefully. The white shadow turned out to be Ningxiang! It was because I saw that it was Ningxiang that I was shocked and the Sancai magic formation lost control, allowing Ningxiang to leave calmly with the water ghost.
But why did Ningxiang save this water ghost? Could it be that Ningxiang was instructing this water ghost to harm people?
"The commoner's magic is indeed worthy of its reputation! Brother Ni! This Qiankun Dragon-Seeking Mirror is the magic weapon of Master Xu Zhouzi. Could it be that Brother Ni is the descendant of Master Xu Zhouzi?"
Zheng Qihuai's old face smiled like a flower. At this moment, he came over very intimately and waved his hand on my shoulder.
"No." I moved two steps and avoided Zheng Qihuai's palm.
"Haha! Brother Ni still has this problem! We are all men, it's normal to hug each other's shoulders!"
Zheng Qihuai withdrew his hand that was suspended in mid-air and smiled awkwardly.
Uh! My heart skipped a beat. Being hugged by a man in his 50s or 60s should not be a pleasure!
"Master Zheng, the matter here is over. Goodbye." I really don't want to chat with this weird old man. In addition to Ningxiang's sudden appearance just now, I just want to go home quickly and find Ningxiang to ask her clearly.
"Oh, in that case, I won't keep you here. However, metaphysics is about being open to all. If you don't have an organization yet, come to the Metaphysics Society. We have monthly benefits. We even hold parties during festivals. Hey, hey! Don't go. Take your business card before you leave!"
I don't want to listen to this old man's nonsense. I hurriedly walked away, interrupting Zheng Qihuai's original words.
"Brother Zhou, everything is fine inside. I have something to do and I'll leave first."
In the yard, I hurriedly greeted Zhou Qi and trotted away.
"Wait! Wait! You have to consider it at least, or I can help you get some benefits!"
Behind him, Zheng Qihuai hurriedly chased out and shouted.
I ignored Zheng Qihuai. I ran back home in a few minutes. When I opened the door, I saw Ningxiang staring at the fish tank on the coffee table with a frown on her face.
I don't know where this fish tank came from. But I know the origin of the fish inside. This is clearly the water ghost that Ningxiang just took away!
"What's going on Ningxiang? Do you know this water ghost?"
I looked very solemn. Ningxiang was suddenly instructed to come to me. The next day, a water ghost appeared nearby. At the last moment, Ningxiang appeared again and rescued the water ghost from my hands. If all this is a coincidence, my head must have been kicked by a donkey.
Ningxiang didn't say anything, still staring at the water ghost in the fish tank, as if trying hard to recall something.
The water ghost in the fish tank transformed into a loach, quietly clinging to the bottom, and trembling from time to time as if he was very scared.
I walked over and sat next to Ningxiang, accompanying her silently.
"Ni Ge, just keep this little fish from now on!" Ningxiang suddenly spoke after a moment.
I was stunned for a moment. Is this a fish? Besides, raising ghosts is a taboo in practicing metaphysics. There are already Ningxiang and two little ghosts in front of me. Add a water ghost! This life is really unbearable.
"Um, Ningxiang, what does this water ghost have to do with you?"
I asked tentatively.
Ningxiang nodded, then shook her head in confusion: "I don't know either, I just feel that he has a familiar smell. I really want to kill it, but I can't remember why I want to kill him!"
Who was the person who told Ningxiang to come to me? Why was every random thing I encountered related to Ningxiang? Who had such great ability to calculate the trajectory of my life so clearly?
I guess Ningxiang can’t give an answer to the doubts in my heart.
"I'm tired." Ningxiang said this. She found a lid and covered the fish tank tightly. Then she carried the fish tank away.
After Ningxiang left, the living room suddenly seemed a little quieter.
I shook my head and put the chaotic thoughts behind me. No matter who that mysterious man is or what his purpose is, I still have to go on with my life.
I pushed open the door and planned to go out for a walk, but I saw Zheng Qihuai standing at the door, rubbing his hands, looking hesitant.
"Master Zheng, what can I do for you?"
When Zheng Qihuai saw me coming out, he quickly shouted, "Brother Ni Ge, don't be so formal, just call me brother from now on. In fact, I just came here to recommend you to the Metaphysics Society. Hehe."
Zheng Qihuai laughed and suddenly whispered mysteriously, "Brother, there's something wrong with this house. Did you keep something in it?"
I paused and turned to look at Zheng Qihuai: "Master Zheng has good eyesight, but I have some causal entanglement with the ghosts inside, so I can only stay with them for the time being."
Zheng Qihuai nodded; "Ni Ge, humans and ghosts are different, and you have to be very careful when dealing with ghosts. But Ni Ge, you only have the second-grade cultivation, but you have practiced the commoner magic, which is not simple. I just don't know, is Master Xu Zhouzi really not your master?"
"Um, how did Master Zheng see my cultivation?" Facing Zheng Qihuai's question, I was very curious about Zheng Qihuai's cultivation. From beginning to end, I could feel that Zheng Qihuai's spiritual power fluctuations were very strong, but in Dongmen Village, Zheng Qihuai was very embarrassed.
