Chapter 39 Dependence
Xiaopang's words scared me, and I quickly took out the yellow talisman, made a Sanqing Jue, and looked carefully into the depths of the house. In the depths of the darkness, there was a little blue light flickering, which looked very strange. For a moment, I also thought it was the spirit of the baby. I thought to myself, how could it be so direct? We haven't found the thing yet, isn't this going to kill us?
Just when we were getting nervous, there was a sudden rustling sound on the door, and we almost fell to the ground. The door creaked open, and I heard Lin Yuxi calling softly: "Xiao Liu...Yu, are you here?"
It turned out to be this girl. I felt relieved, but when I saw the blue light in the darkness, my heart was in suspense again. I hushed and said, "The baby spirit is here. Tell me where the thing is?"
Lin Yuxi was almost frightened to death. She followed the sound and touched my arm, and asked in a trembling voice, "Where is it?"
"Didn't you see that blue light?" I said in a low voice.
"You scared me to death. That's not a baby spirit, it's the power indicator light on the speaker." Lin Yuxi said with relief and pinched my arm.
Uh, we are both old-fashioned. Although we have seen speakers in Internet cafes, we don’t have them at home. How could we know that it would look like this after turning off the lights? Xiaopang patted his chest and muttered. He was scared just now. Although you can risk your life for great love, it would be a pity to die before realizing your ideal.
Lin Yuxi said that Su Chengda had gone to pick up Master Yu Zhengyao by car, and now Xiaoqing was alone in the bedroom opposite, but it was better not to let her hear it, so as not to be suspicious again. She took my hand and walked to a table, took out all the things and put them on the table. These things were indeed found in a Yin-Yang master's shop. I touched the things and they were all there, but there was no big rooster. Lin Yuxi said that the rooster was sealed with its mouth, and it would make a gurgling sound. It was temporarily stored in the kitchen of the hot pot restaurant on the second floor , and it could be taken whenever it was needed.
After saying this, she pulled me to the wall switch so that if something unexpected happened, I could turn on the light and perform a ritual. Then she asked if we had eaten yet. I said no, and she ran to somewhere and brought back a bag of things. It looked like there were fruits and biscuits, a lot of snacks. She told me to fill my stomach first, and then we would go downstairs to eat hot pot after Su Chengda and Yu Zhengyao left.
Of course I am happy to eat with her, but why do I feel like we are having an affair? Besides, we are not in love at all, and you said that we have to do it secretly, which makes me very depressed. When Lin Yuxi was about to go back to the opposite side, I said that Yu Zhengyao was here, and she should remember to come and report to me more often. Only when I have a grasp of the situation can I have hope of killing the baby spirit. She agreed and went out.
We both found a three-seater sofa in the dark and sat down to eat snacks. Not long after, we heard footsteps outside the door. Two men walked into the opposite room while talking. Xiaopang and I stood up and rushed to the door, putting our ears to the door to eavesdrop. But the door was closed, so we couldn't hear anything. After a long while, we heard someone walk out along the corridor. From the sound of leather shoes, it seemed to be Su Chengda.
Just as she was about to go back to the sofa to continue eating snacks, the door suddenly opened again, and then quickly closed. Lin Yuxi whispered, "Master Yu didn't let me stay across the street, and told me to hide in the studio and not go out." She ran to the window sill, opened the window and looked down.
"Why did Su Chengda leave?" I asked curiously.
"A business friend of mine flew in from out of town, and he had to go to the airport to meet her." She ran to the wall and turned on the light, and the view suddenly became bright. "Fortunately Chengda left, otherwise he would have been driven here by the master, and I would have been dead."
I snorted in my heart. It would be better if I died. I didn't care anyway. I turned around and looked at her studio. The room was large and decorated in a retro style. The color used was red walnut, which was antique and matched the supernatural very well. In the center was an office table like an eight-immortal table. On the table was a computer monitor and on both sides were small speakers with flashing blue power lights. Behind the table was a row of antique shelves filled with porcelain and ornaments. It looked quite high-end.
Xiaopang said, "Not bad, do you want to hire some employees? Brother Yu and I will come and work for you."
"I don't have any plans for now." Lin Yuxi said as she sat on the sofa, picked up the snacks and started eating. It seemed that she hadn't eaten dinner either.
I sat in the boss chair behind the desk and asked her, "What did Master Yu bring when he came?"
"He was just carrying a bag, but I seemed to see a wooden barrel in the bag." She spoke vaguely while chewing something.
I immediately frowned, thinking, is this old guy going to fight violence with violence, using the evil ghost baby spirit to fight the evil ghost baby spirit? This is too dangerous, what if both of them run away? The person who raises the ghost will definitely be devoured by it, but if these two little guys roam around like this, I don't know how many people they will kill!
Xiaopang walked to the antique shelf, took down a small round celadon jar and asked, "Is this for tea leaves or something?"
Lin Yuxi panicked, stood up and ran over and said, "This is the Ghost Sealing Altar, don't move."
Xiao Pang was also startled: "Is there a ghost in there?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the light on the roof made a crackling sound, and then flickered. Xiaopang was even more frightened and ran to the front of the table. I stood up and said, "Looking at the situation, the other side has started to deal with the little guy. Let's quickly set up our weapons and prepare to do it. Xiaoxi, go down and bring up the rooster."
I grabbed the lifting cylinder and put it on the ground. Just as I put the wooden board across the lifting cylinder, my eyes went dark and the light finally went out. Lin Yuxi ran to the door and retreated back in fear. I was also afraid that the little guy would run into the corridor, so I told her not to go out and not to take the rooster for the time being. We didn't bring a flashlight when we came, and there was no flashlight in the studio, so we put the porcelain bowl on the wooden board in the dark, and then put the oil lamp in the bowl. When I put the wick on the oil lamp, I suddenly remembered that I forgot an important thing, lamp oil !
I hurriedly asked Lin Yuxi if she had cooking oil at home. She said of course she had, but she didn't dare to go over there at the moment. It's fine if she has it, it's not 100% necessary anyway. If Yu Zhengyao can deal with the infant spirit, we won't have to work so hard. The three of us huddled together and squatted on the ground, waiting quietly. In the dark room, we couldn't hear anything except our breathing. You could hear a pin drop.
After waiting for half an hour, I didn't hear any movement. I felt that something was wrong. Logically, when catching a baby spirit, there must be no sound. At least Xiao Jing would make some noise when she saw something, right? If the old guy caught it easily, it wouldn't take half an hour. He should have called it a day. It was absolutely illogical that there was no movement or coming out for so long.
After thinking about it, I was worried that something might happen to Xiao Jing, so I told them that I would go to the other side to check the situation. You guys take good care of the lifting tube and the oil lamp. If I ask you to take them, pick them up in the current order and don't mess them up. I stood up and walked to the door, and Lin Yuxi followed me.
She said in a trembling voice: "I feel less scared if I follow you."
I couldn't help but feel warm inside. The thrilling experience in the ancient tomb made her feel very dependent on me. Three years later, she was still like this. Xiaopang also ran over and said, "You all left, I'm scared alone." I said, "Forget it, you're a grown man, what are you afraid of? Go back and guard your things."
Xiao Pang went back reluctantly, and I pulled Lin Yuxi out of the room. The current situation made me feel like I was back in the ancient tomb of Longjia Village. The only difference was that we were both naked at that time, but now we are dressed tightly.
