Volume 1 Chapter 36: Plot
I looked back at Tan Qing, he was frowning, his face was very gloomy, but when he met my gaze, he quickly avoided it, probably because he felt that he had misjudged Huisha and felt embarrassed. Because this could not be blamed on him, we were all in the same business, and we knew the four lanterns on the roof and what was going on.
Although I bought the items for the counter-attack game from him, it doesn't mean that I can set it up properly. My miscalculation of the soul loss probably made him have little confidence in me.
Looking back at Yan Xiang, the old man rolled his eyes and searched the room for the evil spirits. The evil spirits had deep resentment because they died abnormally, and they might vent their anger on their family members or irrelevant people, causing some bloody disasters. He was the Taoist priest invited by the Ling family, and it was his duty to suppress ghosts and help them overcome the disaster.
I concluded that the two bodies in the constant temperature coffin were two scapegoats, and he was the one who did all this, he must have been very nervous!
Whether the returning ghost can speak when returning to the evil spirit has never been determined since ancient times. It depends on the ability of the heavenly master. Listening to the conversation between Yan Xiang and Tan Qing, they are both second-rate masters, not at the same level as my great-grandfather.
Grandpa Taizu once said that when passing on ghost stories, you have to let the ghosts speak, and they must not fart! Don’t forget, I am the tenth generation inheritor of ghost stories!
The cold wind made everyone in the room fall into silence. For a moment, the mourning hall was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
Yan Ning was originally standing in front of the coffin, but now he retreated with a pale face. He looked dazed and very frightened.
Shen Bing stood on tiptoe and leaned on my shoulder, whispering in my ear: "Is that... that evil spirit coming?"
I nodded, patted her hand on my shoulder, and told her not to be afraid. Then I looked at my watch and said, "It's a little late to return. It may be because of the three of us who have Taoist magic here that they have not dared to come in."
Yan Xiang and Tan Qing agreed with this statement, and the two did not speak. The three Taoist descendants, the magic energy on their bodies is not comparable to the vigorous yang energy, which is the nemesis of ghosts!
I looked at Yan Ning and said, "Aunt, I just want to see Yaxue for the last time, say a few words, and leave immediately." Regardless of whether she agreed or not, I stepped forward and walked towards the constant temperature coffin. Shen Bing followed me forward. This girl did not forget to continue to play a double act with me. Besides, this girl loves to watch the fun. I guess she would be uncomfortable to death if she stood aside and looked at it.
This time Yan Ning lowered his head in anxiety, neither objecting nor agreeing, so I took it as tacit agreement. But Yan Xiang flashed to block the way and said coldly: "Mrs. Ling hasn't spoken yet, you can't go over, if you alarm the Huisha ghost, I'm afraid there will be a bloody disaster!"
The last word "bloody disaster" shocked everyone. Yan Ning came to his senses, raised his head and shouted, "I won't allow you to see my daughter, get out!"
I stared at Yan Xiang with a rage in my heart, wishing I could stuff him into a coffin and let the two Huisha ghosts bite him to death! But now the truth has not been revealed, everyone believes him, and if I act impulsively, I will fall into his trap.
"Okay, I won't go over. I'll just stand here and say goodbye to Yaxue." I said, clenching my fists and suppressing the anger in my heart.
Tan Qing came over, patted my shoulder and sighed, "Young man, go ahead . You still have problems to solve. It's not appropriate to say goodbye to the deceased in this state."
Yan Xiang looked up at him coldly, and nodded at me: "The yin and yang are misplaced, and the ghosts and gods are suspicious. Before the midnight hour, you should get rid of your soul first."
The yin-yang misalignment he mentioned refers to the fact that Shen Bing and I exchanged souls, which would indeed cause suspicion from the ghosts and gods. If I were to force myself to say goodbye to the evil ghost, it would probably cause the ghosts to be frightened and angry, causing trouble. He saw that Tan Qing also knew about my problem, so he said the term "soul loss" in public without any scruples. Only the three of us understood it, and the others could only guess.
Seeing Yan Ning getting angry, Long Shaohui frowned and said, "Listen to Mr. Tan, let's go."
Just as I was about to speak, a chilling breath suddenly hit my left shoulder. Damn, did the Huisha ghost really dislike me and attack me? But my soul has returned to its place, and I didn't provoke you!
I couldn't think about the reason at this moment. If the evil spirit of Huisha Ghost rushed into my body, I would die at the worst, or suffer from rheumatism on this half of my body, which I would never be able to recover from. I pushed Shen Bing away with my backhand, and quickly dodged to the side. In that instant, my right hand had already torn off the buttons of my clothes, exposing my entire left shoulder.
I bit my middle finger on my right hand. I couldn’t always let my index finger be on duty alone, so I quickly wrote the word “ghost” on my shoulder!
The cold aura suddenly disappeared, and I didn't know where it went. Anyway, it stopped fighting me, which made me feel a little relieved. A counterattack was set up outside, mainly targeting the magic tools commonly used by the Heavenly Master, such as the peach wood sword and spell talisman brought by Yan Xiang, which would definitely be ineffective. The returning evil ghost had no scruples and was really difficult to deal with.
Tan Qing and Yan Xiang knew that the Huisha ghost had taken action, and they each took out their weapons. Yan Xiang held a peach wood sword in his hand, and Tan Qing took out a green steel short sword from his arms. This old man is quite smart, knowing that I am here to set up a counterattack, so he brought a "gold" sword.
But I suddenly felt a little strange. How did he know to come back to the mourning hall tonight and bring the "golden" sword with him?
When Yan Xiang saw the weapon in his hand, he glared at him angrily and put the peach wood sword on the spirit table. The peach wood sword and the "gold" sword cannot be used together. He took out two yellow talismans, handed one to me, and handed the other to Yan Ning.
I thought to myself, this old guy is pretending to be a good person. Besides, the yellow talisman is completely useless at this moment. I threw the talisman to the ground with disdain.
"Why are you taking off your clothes? That's outrageous! Officer Long, you'd better get him out of here, or I'll call your director." Yan Ning pointed at me angrily.
Long Shaohui's face darkened, he took a step forward, grabbed my arm and said, "Go!"
My attention was not on him at the moment, but on Yan Ning's strange look and his gaze behind me. There were three people behind me, Tan Qing, Le Wei and Shen Bing. I thought to myself that Shen Bing must be fine, and Tan Qing was not a bad person either. It seemed that Yan Ning was following Le Wei's lead. This guy was bewitched by Yan Xiang's poison and became his messenger. I waved my arm to get rid of Long Shaohui's hand, but he pulled my sleeve down, leaving me completely shirtless.
Shen Bing said anxiously: "Bumpkin, stop messing around, let's go."
"You have lost your soul?"
Shen Bing's voice was very loud this time, and our double act was immediately exposed. Yan Xiang and Tan Qing asked us at the same time.
Minister Yan had a gloomy face and was very cunning. It was hard to tell what he was thinking. I happened to be leaning to the side at this time and saw Tan Qing standing to one side, with a look of surprise on his face. I thought to myself, why are you surprised? It's just that I didn't use you to preside over the ritual.
Long Shaohui was so angry that he tore off my clothes and threw them on the ground. He pulled out a pistol from his waist, pointed it at me and said coldly: "If you dare to arrest me, I will shoot you!"
I was stunned. Did you arrest me just now? Besides, an arrest warrant is required. But when the gun was pointed at me, I had no choice but to raise my hands and said, "Don't regret doing this. The truth of this case will never be revealed!"
Long Shaohui was startled by what he said. At this moment, my shirt suddenly rose up without wind, making a tearing sound. In an instant, the left shoulder of the shirt was torn to pieces by an invisible force, and pieces of cloth flew in the air . Everyone's eyes immediately focused on it, their eyes widened, revealing a look of fear.
A piece of cloth floated past my eyes, and I suddenly discovered something. I reached out to catch it, and took a closer look. Yes, someone was plotting against me!
