Chapter 43 Are You Looking for Me?
As Ge Youming shook the token, a whirlwind suddenly rolled up from the wooden table less than a meter away. The wind came so suddenly that the people around him gasped in surprise. They wanted to scream but didn't dare to. Although they couldn't see anything else, they all knew that the wind was "weird" and they all shook at the same time.
Ge Youming swung the Golden Money Sword, throwing the talisman paper that was about to burn out into the whirlwind in front of the altar, "Go!"
Following Ge Youming's order, the whirlwind suddenly became much thicker. Ge Youming waved the copper coin sword, and the whirlwind swept the ash that the talisman paper had turned into toward the river surface . After reaching the water surface, the whirlwind quickly disappeared in front of everyone's eyes, just as suddenly as it appeared, truly coming and going without a trace.
"Wow! This wind is so strange, the talisman was blown directly into the river, it's amazing." Xiao Di was stunned by Ge Youming's tricks, and couldn't help cheering softly, holding the sports camera she had just purchased yesterday and filming without stopping. This incredible trick is much more sophisticated than Tan Xuan's gangster-like fighting method, and the key is that these can be recorded, unlike every time Tan Xuan fights ghosts, he is just recording him hitting the "air".
Not only Xiao Di, but everyone else was also stunned by Ge Youming's move. They all looked very surprised. Only Yang Junwen had a look of relief. He turned his head to look at Tan Xuan with a bit of boasting in his expression.
Xiao Di pulled the listless Tan Xuan aside and asked in a low voice: "He really knows magic, and can even command ghosts and gods. Will the female ghost be caught in a while?"
Tan Xuan took a look and said, "Have you forgotten what I told you before getting off the bus?"
Xiao Di curled his lips in disdain, "I just asked what was wrong, is it necessary to have such an attitude? I think this guy is better than you. Apart from anything else, you can see that his outfit is extraordinary, and he also has a set of magic weapons, which are much more formal than yours. Especially his methods are so intuitive, and the effect is several blocks away from yours.
"hehe……"
Tan Xuan just smiled and didn't say anything. The layman watches the excitement while the expert watches the details. He had nothing to explain to a layman. If one judged a person's ability only by his attire, then the Taoist Mao he met a few days ago could be the master of the person in front of him.
Everyone over there was busy, but Tan Xuan couldn't muster any interest at all. If there was no tea and melon seeds, Tan Xuan would have eaten and drunk to pass the time.
There was no movement after the whirlwind disappeared on the water surface. Yang Junwen, her sister and Su Cheng all stretched their necks and stared at the water surface, but there was no change on the water surface. Looking at Ge Youming again, he was still shaking the token and copper coin sword, as if he was cheering for someone.
Not knowing if this was a necessary process for the ritual, Yang Junwen did not dare to disturb Ge Youming. However, he felt uneasy waiting like this, so he approached Tan Xuan and asked quietly, "Master Tan, how long do we have to wait for this? How come it's been so long and nothing has worked?"
Tan Xuan looked at Ge Youming who was still busy over there, then looked at the water under the moonlight, and shook his head slightly, "I can't tell your friend's master, I don't know what kind of talisman he used, what kind of spell he chanted, I know nothing about his methods, and I don't know how long it will take to capture the female ghost. Wait, since he promised you, you have to believe him, this will not work if you are impatient, maybe the ghost will appear in front of you soon."
"Ah... okay then." Having not gotten an answer and being frightened, Yang Junwen retreated. He did not have the indifferent mood like Tan Xuan. His face was full of tension, and he stared at the direction of the water with his eyes fixed.
After a while, Ge Youming had already offered several more talismans and burned several more pieces of paper, but there was still no reaction on the water surface. Ge Youming was a little anxious, and his expression became a little unnatural. After trying a few more times without any reaction, Ge Youming put down the copper coin sword in his hand, took off his Taoist robe, shook his head, and walked in front of the onlookers with sweat all over his forehead.
"I'm sorry. It's my fault that I'm not very skilled. The spell didn't work and I failed to capture Yu Jing's ghost. Master Tan, would you mind taking the trouble to do this?"
Tan Xuan glanced at Ge Youming, who said sorry but didn't look embarrassed, and then looked at Yang Junwen, who had lost his smile. He smiled and waved his hand, "Master Ge , you are too modest. Your skills have already amazed everyone. It's probably not the right time. Don't be discouraged. You should succeed if you try again later."
Ge Youming politely agreed, "Then I'll try again later. If it doesn't work, I'll have to trouble Master Tan."
Tan Xuan waved his hand again, "Don't worry about that, we'll talk about it later. Don't worry, take a rest first, maybe you will succeed in a while."
Tan Xuan seemed calm and had no desires or requests, but he had been cursing in his heart for a long time.
"What a joke! Are you helping or making enemies by taking action at this time? Can't I see your little tricks? I guess you didn't have good intentions from the moment you introduced yourself to participate. Besides, I will do it if you ask me to. The person who paid didn't say anything. Yang Junwen calculated the price so clearly, why should I do it for nothing? You want the benefits, and I come here in the middle of the night to show my love to you..."
"Okay then, I'll take a break first and try again later." After listening to Tan Xuan's advice, Ge Youming also found a stone to sit down, "Yumin, get me a bottle of water."
"Oh." Yang Yumin walked to the car, took out a box of water from the trunk, handed a bottle to Ge Youming and Yang Junwen respectively, and then put the box on the ground without any intention of giving it to Tan Xuan and others.
“Tsk!”
Yang Junwen glared at his sister and personally handed the water to Tan Xuan and the others, "Master Tan, have a drink of water first."
"Thank you." Tan Xuan took the water and put it aside. Xiao Di next to him didn't even take it. She was busy recording the whole process and had no time to drink the water. Only Su Cheng happily took it and took a big sip.
Ge Youming took a sip of water, closed his eyes and rested for a while, then returned to his "stage".
Ge Youming put on his Taoist robe again, placed the various magical instruments on the table, and then took out a square jade seal from the wooden box.
Lighting incense, writing words on yellow paper with a brush... Ge Youming repeated the same action as before, but this time he added something to the ink before writing, and stamped the big seal after writing. Although he still ended up being set on fire, Ge Youming looked much more serious this time and was meticulous throughout the whole process.
Finally, Ge Youming held the token in his left hand, waved the copper coin sword in his right hand, and shouted loudly: "Quickly patrol the ghosts and gods and bring Yu Jing's ghost here quickly. There must be no mistakes."
A whirlwind as thick as a waist came out in response, carrying sand and soil and blowing towards the water surface again. This time the whirlwind did not stop when it encountered water, but continued to blow towards the river without weakening at all. After the whirlwind reached the river, it spun faster and faster on the river surface, rolling up a water column nearly half a meter high, circling on the river surface, and then "pulling" the water column back to the riverside.
Seeing the water column getting closer and closer to the shore, Ge Youming's face showed joy, and he waved the token and copper coin sword with his hands more vigorously. After the water column was swept ashore by the whirlwind, Ge Youming turned around and called Yang Junwen, "She's here, you quickly stand beside me."
"Ah!" Hearing that she was coming, Yang Junwen trembled and his expression immediately became panicked. He knew who Ge Youming was talking about.
"Hurry up." Seeing that Yang Junwen didn't move, Ge Youming urged him again, his face turning ugly.
While struggling internally, Yang Junwen looked at Tan Xuan, "Master Tan, I..."
Tan Xuan waved his hand, "Go ahead, isn't this the person you want to see? Go quickly, if you have to see him, then see him. If you don't want to see him, drive away now. What's the point of hesitating here?"
"Then won't you come with me?" Yang Junwen asked with a look of fear.
Tan Xuan frowned, looking a little impatient. "Why would I go over there if there's nothing else to do? There are too many people there, and your friend can't do anything. Go ahead and do your thing. I'll go over there when there's something else to do."
"But if something happens, it will be too late for you to go there..."
"Yang Junwen, stop wasting time and come here quickly." Seeing him dithering, Ge Youming on the other side became very angry and urged him loudly.
"Oh!" Yang Junwen looked at Tan Xuan pleadingly, then walked to Ge Youming tremblingly.
"Stand beside me and don't be afraid of anything you see. As long as you don't leave my side more than three steps, Yu Jing's ghost can't hurt you." Ge Youming hurriedly told Yang Junwen a few words, and then stared intently at the water column that was swept ashore by the whirlwind.
Seeing Yang Junwen trembling and panic-stricken, Su Cheng couldn't bear it and said to Tan Xuan: "Tan Xuan, didn't you promise Mr. Yang the day before yesterday to protect his safety? Now he's over there, why don't you follow him?"
"Shut up. Protecting him is what I promised him. It's none of your business to say anything." Tan Xuan didn't even look at Su Cheng and retorted to her.
"But……"
"No buts, don't talk, don't cause trouble for yourself, and don't cause trouble for me."
Tan Xuan's expression now was a bit scary. He no longer looked cheerful as usual. He exuded an indescribable aura. Su Cheng was so scared that he dared not say anything more and just watched the strange situation over there honestly.
The whirlwind slowly approached Ge Youming's altar with the water column, and finally stopped moving one or two meters in front of the wooden table. Then, the wind stopped, the water receded, and Ge Youming, who was waving the token and copper coin sword behind the table, was also dumbfounded, because after the wind stopped and the water receded, the ground in front of the table was empty, there was nothing, and there was no shadow of the female ghost at all.
"what's the situation?"
Ge Youming was confused. He leaned over the table and looked forward, but he didn't see the picture he was looking for. He felt suspicious.
"Where did it go?"
Ge Youming shook the token in his hand. The whirlwind had disappeared and there was no reaction. He put the token on the table and scratched his head. "That's not right. Where did it go?"
"Are you looking for me?" A sinister voice suddenly came to Ge Youming's ears.
