Chapter 38 Fuling Studio
My explanation confused the two of them. They all listened with their eyes wide open and forgot to eat. When I talked about the death of the ghost blood, the two of them remembered the scene of the ghosts crying and howling, and their faces changed color again.
I then told them that although it had stirred up the hornet's nest of the infant spirit, it had also paid the price for it and was slightly injured. After being injured, it wanted to go back to the wooden barrel to recuperate, but it couldn't do it. The door was sealed with a yellow talisman, so it could only find a corner to hide and recuperate. So before dawn tomorrow, this period of time should be safe, and nothing evil will happen again. To catch it, we must strike while the iron is hot. Tonight is a good opportunity. Go to Lin Yuxi's house to lure the little cub out and catch it like catching a quail.
Lin Yuxi smiled after hearing this: "I knew you, a little gangster, must have a way, otherwise you wouldn't have been able to open the mechanism at that time."
Fatty continued to eat, smacking his lips until his mouth was full of oil. He couldn't stop eating, "I say you two are really interesting. One of you is called a little rascal, and the other isn't angry at all. What's your relationship?"
"Eat your food, you fatso! What's my relationship with him and what does it have to do with you?" Lin Yuxi rolled her eyes at him and started eating as well.
Fatty had a wicked smile on his face, and it seemed that he was not going to guess anything good. However, this kid had one advantage, he would not ask questions about things that others were unwilling to talk about, but his mouth was still restless. He leaned over and asked me, "Brother Yu, is your ability to burn talismans and chant spells real or fake? It looks like magic to me, mumbling something, and the paper suddenly burned. It's so weird. Teach me sometime, so that I can have an extra ability to deceive people, and the money will come quickly."
"It's better for you not to learn this kind of magic. Everything has its pros and cons. While slaying demons and eliminating ghosts, you will also be contaminated by evil spirits and shorten your life." When I said this, the kid's face twitched and he stopped talking.
Because of the troublesome matter of the infant spirit, we didn't drink any alcohol, and the meal was finished quickly. Lin Yuxi paid the bill, and after coming out, she asked me what I needed to catch the little ghost at home at night. She had many shops selling Taoist items in her hands, and there was almost nothing she couldn't buy.
I said she didn't need to buy the talisman, it was better to draw it herself, and asked her to find a way to get the other things. I needed a three-foot-long and two-foot-wide wooden board, a big rooster, an oil lamp, seven wicks, a large porcelain bowl for eating, a bunch of incense, and a rice measuring tube. Lin Yuxi was stunned. The wooden board, rooster, porcelain bowl, and incense were easy to find, but the oil lamp, wick, and rice measuring tube were not easy to find, especially in the city, where these things were almost extinct.
I smiled and told her, don't worry, go buy it from those real Yin-Yang masters, they must have it. I'll set up a stall now, pick me up in the evening. The girl nodded half-believingly, but suddenly a worried look flashed across her face. I asked her what was wrong, she scratched her head and said she hadn't told Su Chengda that she knew me yet, and the play she performed yesterday was too amazing, how should she write this?
After thinking for a while, she told me that when she saw Su Chengda, she said that we were elementary school classmates, so she didn't recognize him. In fact, Su Chengda also saw that we might know each other. No one else knew Lin Yuxi's name here except him. This girl changed her name after coming to Xiling because she wanted to forget that unbearable memory.
I agreed, and we exchanged phone numbers. After watching her leave, my mood plummeted. She was so afraid that Su Chengda would misunderstand her, it seemed that she cared about him very much. As a little hooligan, I should stop having any unreasonable thoughts. I sighed , and walked back to Yonghe Street with Xiaopang to continue setting up the stall. No matter what, life still has to go on.
I was absent-minded this afternoon, and all the business went to Xiaopang. Cheng Guaizi from next door saw the two of us, looked embarrassed, and did not dare to provoke. I was in a daze until the evening, when the old guys packed up their stalls and Xiaopang and I were ready to go out for dinner. At this time, my cell phone rang. I only had two contacts on this knockoff phone that I bought for a few hundred yuan, one was Xiaopang and the other was the one who sold Guimi. I bought it just to check online for news about Chen Dahong and Lin Yuxi, and it never rang at all.
There was no need to guess that it was Lin Yuxi, so I quickly picked up the phone. It was indeed this girl. She told me that I didn't need to come. Su Chengda found a famous local Yin-Yang master and made an appointment to go to her house tonight to exorcise evil spirits. If I had to go, I was afraid that there would be some misunderstanding.
I hummed, feeling unhappy, but for her safety, I asked her three questions. First, is the person you invited the same one who sold the child god? Second, are you 100% sure? If the ritual fails, the whole family will be in disaster. Third, are you ready?
She told me that the person she invited was the one who sold the child god. This person was very powerful and many people in the local area could not invite him. As for whether she was 100% sure, she didn't know. She had prepared everything she was asked to prepare, but just when she was about to tell Su Chengda about this, he actually said that he had invited Master Yu Zhengyao, so she didn't dare to say anything.
After she finished, I said that the man was actually raising little ghosts in secret to make evil money. Little ghosts can help people get rich quickly, just like many celebrities raise these things and become famous overnight. But if nothing goes wrong, it's fine. Once something goes wrong, especially the evil ghosts and infant spirits, the ghost raiser can't subdue them. If he is not 100% sure, you guys will die tonight.
Lin Yuxi heard me say it so seriously, hesitated for a moment and said, "Then you guys take a taxi and hide in the studio first. If this guy can't handle it, you will immediately go into battle." I really want to scold her. This is not a joke. If you fail once, there will be no second chance. It's best to hold back. Although I don't want to wade into the muddy water, I have to go for the girl's life.
Xiao Pang asked what happened, I said it was none of your business, you should go home and sleep after dinner, if you don't see me back tomorrow , this stall will be yours. Xiao Pang was stunned, and then he insisted on going with me, patting his chest and saying that although we are brothers of the opposite sex, we are closer than brothers, we can live together but die together. I was so angry that I wanted to slap him in the face, if we want to die together, then we are a couple.
But seeing his firm attitude, I understood that this guy didn't want to die with me, but with Xiaoqing. It was not difficult to see that he was determined to like that girl.
Let's go, anyway, he's useful. At the moment, we didn't care about eating, we put the stall under our arms, went home to get the yellow talisman, and then took a taxi to the address Lin Yuxi said.
Her residence and studio are together, not far from here, and also on a remote street. There is an old three-story building here. The first floor is a store, the second floor is a hot pot restaurant, and the third floor is her studio and residence. But the third floor is not only hers, someone else rented a studio here, splitting the floor in the middle, each person occupied half of the floor. The two families installed iron fences on both sides of the staircase, and it looked like entering a prison after going up.
On the left was her territory, with a sign on the iron fence that read "Fuling Studio". The iron gate was not locked, it was a door reserved for me, and we quietly pushed it open and went in. This was a double-sided building, with the studio on the left and the bedroom on the right. The door to the studio was also left open, and we slipped in like thieves, then closed and locked the door.
The room was pitch black and they didn't dare turn on the light. Xiao Pang suddenly exclaimed, "What is that? Is it a baby spirit?"
