Volume 3 Chapter 5: Female Flying Hero
After transiting in Nanjing, we arrived in Huangshan City smoothly at nine o'clock the next evening.
When we got off the bus, I unexpectedly discovered that the couple who originally sat opposite us also got off the bus and did not get off during the transfer. They had the same purpose as us, all coming to Huangshan. However, the girl seemed a little uncomfortable, her face was sallow, and she walked half leaning on her boyfriend's arms.
"Why, do you like this girl?" Shen Bing asked curiously when she saw me staring at the girl.
"I like her, aren't you jealous?" I turned around and said with a smile.
"Bah, you bumpkin, why don't you learn your lesson? I told you this kind of joke is boring, but you still keep making it." She pouted and walked away. Just then, Wang Zijun and Qu Mo got off the car. She pulled Qu Mo and started talking and laughing.
I smiled bitterly and shook my head, and involuntarily stared at the girl's back. She had a strange aura from head to toe, especially between her eyebrows, which was faintly black. This was not a good sign. Unfortunately, we didn't know each other. If I rashly ran over and told someone that I might have been possessed by evil spirits, the man might slap me in the face.
Forget it. People are possessed by evil spirits every day. How can I handle it? Besides, I am not in charge of human affairs, but of ghost affairs. Their possession of evil spirits may not necessarily bring disaster, so why should I worry about it?
We first found a hotel to stay in, and planned to enter the scenic area early tomorrow morning. Since Wang Zijun came unprepared and had no money on him, of course I had to pay for the room. Although Qu Mo rushed to pay, could I let a girl pay? Then the four of us went to eat Huangshan’s famous snacks, crab shell yellow sesame cakes, Anhui-style small wontons, Huangshan river snails, and stone dumplings. The food was so delicious. Qu Mo, such a gentle girl, was full of food.
When I returned to the hotel, I happened to meet the couple again. They seemed to have just come back from dinner. The girl's complexion was getting worse and worse, almost pale, and the black energy between her eyebrows was getting heavier. But she looked more energetic than during the day, walking by herself with a smile on her face.
They talked loudly and had a little argument. The girl wanted to go to the scenic spot immediately, but the boy disagreed and wanted to stay in the hotel for one night and go the next morning. But the boy finally couldn't win over the girl and agreed.
Qu Mo walked up to me and whispered to me, "Master Xi, this girl looks a little weird."
I was quite surprised. I didn't expect that she could see something. I just nodded. I couldn't answer her because I knew that the girl had a problem and I didn't plan to help her. How could I tell her? Seeing that I didn't say anything, Qu Mo didn't say anything either and followed me into the hotel.
She and Shen Bing shared a room. Since it was 11 o'clock after dinner, they went back to their own rooms to sleep. After a tiring day on the train, I took a simple shower and lay on the soft bed. It was very comfortable and cozy, and I was sleepy. Wang Zijun was actually very excited to talk about what he and Qu Mo talked about along the way. He regarded the little things as great and glorious events. I fell asleep in the sound of his endless chatter.
I was sleeping soundly when I was suddenly awakened by a loud noise. This is a habit I developed from years of special forces experience. No matter how deep I sleep, I can hear the slightest noise.
When I opened my eyes, the room was pitch black. I heard Wang Zijun snoring softly. He was sleeping soundly. I turned on the light and looked at the clock. It was two o'clock in the morning. I wondered what the noise was that woke me up. I turned to look at the window and couldn't help laughing. It turned out that the window was not closed tightly. There was a wind outside, and the window sash was still opening and closing slightly, making a clicking sound.
I got out of bed and walked to the window, looking at the sky outside. Before I went to bed, the sky was full of stars and moon, but now it was pitch black and the weather had changed. The cold wind kept coming in through the gaps in the window sashes. I was only wearing underwear, and it made my whole body cold. I quickly closed the window and was about to turn around, when suddenly, at that moment, I saw a black shadow jumping down from the upstairs.
Because there was a small street outside the window and the street lights were on, the scene was clearly visible to my eyes, and it was definitely not an illusion. I quickly opened the window and saw the figure standing on the street. Like a clever kitten, he turned his head left and right to look around, and then ran to the east.
I didn't care about . I was very puzzled when I looked at the back of this person. He was very slim and didn't look like a man. He just passed by me. We live on the sixth floor, so she must live on the fifth floor at least? She jumped from this height and was safe and sound. I can't do it even if I kill myself. Damn, is she still a human?
At this moment, the window next door opened with a click. Shen Bing and Qu Mo lived next door. One of them was awake in the middle of the night. Could it be that they also discovered this "female flying hero"?
I saw a head sticking out of the window, vaguely it was Shen Bing. She also saw me and gestured to me, meaning to come out and talk. I closed the window and saw that Wang Zijun was still sleeping soundly. I put on my clothes and quietly walked out of the room, closing the door gently.
Shen Bing had already come out. When she saw me leaving the house, she walked up to me with an anxious look on her face and said, "Qu Mo is missing!"
I was stunned. Could the flying hero I just saw be her? How could this be possible? I immediately dismissed this idea. How could such a weak and gentle girl fly over eaves and walls? Wouldn't this be like a martial arts novel? I asked, "Isn't she in the bathroom?"
Shen Bing shook her head: "No. I just heard a swishing sound, opened my eyes dazedly, and saw a black shadow flash through the window and then disappear. And that black shadow was very strange, like a big peacock with its screen spread out."
"You are not in a daze, are you still dreaming about transvestites?" I laughed. The clothes that transvestites wear during performances are like peacocks spreading their tails, and I used this to tease her.
"Go away, I'm usually not groggy when I sleep, how could I have seen it wrong?" She rolled her eyes at me.
I covered my mouth and laughed, "Aren't you not old? Why do you call yourself sister again?"
She pouted and frowned , saying, "Stop it, I'm talking about serious matters."
I coughed, put my hands behind my back and said, "Yeah, even if it's the middle of the night, it's not improper."
She immediately gnashed her teeth in anger, but she couldn't let it out. She glared at me and hurried to the elevator. I hurriedly chased after her, knowing that she must have gone out to look for Qu Mo. I stopped her at the elevator entrance and said, "Did you know that Qu Mo was out? Why did you rush out to look for her? Did you call her cell phone?"
Shen Bing exclaimed, "Oh!", "I forgot to call her on her cell phone." Then she ran back to the room in a hurry, and immediately ran out and said, "Her cell phone is in the room." As she spoke, she raised two cell phones and shook them at me.
I also felt that something was wrong. Where could a girl go in the middle of the night if she wasn't sleeping in the guest room? Before I figured out what was going on, I didn't tell Wang Zijun, so as not to make him worry. I suddenly thought of a way, and went to their room with Shen Bing. I walked over to Qu Mo's bed and lifted the quilt.
"You're a pervert. You even don't let go of the bed that girls have slept in?" Shen Bing scolded me with a red face.
"Keep your voice down! I'm looking for clues." I was so scared that I hurriedly explained. If someone heard me, I would really look like a pervert in the middle of the night.
"I've never heard of looking for clues under the covers."
I ignored her taunting, found a long hair left by Qu Mo, picked it up and wrapped it around the tip of my right index finger, then asked Shen Bing to take out a piece of paper and spread it on the table. I found that this was her room, went back to the room to get the bag, took out the compass, burned the talisman, chanted the spell, and placed the compass on the white paper.
"The Northern Emperor has ordered me to search the souls and capture the evil spirits. Hurry and obey the order!" I closed my eyes and chanted two sentences of the "Soul-Searching Spell", placed the fingers wrapped around the hair on the compass, and felt the hair move, and began to move slowly with the fingers.
