Liu Zhiming, who was finally able to breathe normally, couldn't go out. He leaned back and slumped on the sofa. He breathed in the air greedily, but he couldn't take it in. He didn't even think about vomiting.
Tan Xuan stretched out his hand and wiped the mouth of the bottle. The white smoke in the bottle became more intense and filled the entire bottle in an instant. But surprisingly, not a trace of smoke came out, just like the mouth of the bottle was covered.
It's like there's an invisible bottle cap on it.
When Liu Zhiming stopped making a windmill-like sound when he breathed, Tan Xuan asked him, "Have you recovered?"
Liu Zhiming nodded and agreed with a slightly hoarse voice: "Much better."
Tan Xuan showed the bottle in his hand, showed it to Liu Zhiming and others in the room, and said expressionlessly: "The stuff that was spit out from your mouth just now is the evil spirit that invaded your body. Now that it's spit out,
Do you feel that your body is much more relaxed, and your body is not as afraid of the cold as before?"
Liu Zhiming sat there and closed his eyes and felt it for a while. When he opened his eyes again, his face suddenly became full of joy and he said excitedly: "It seems that I really feel much more relaxed."
"As long as you feel relaxed, focus your attention now and look at the bottle in my hand. After a while, I will force this evil spirit to transform. See if the thing it transforms has been seen somewhere."
"Okay." Liu Zhiming nodded vigorously, staring intently at the bottle in Tan Xuan's hand.
"You should also keep an eye on it and tell me if you have seen it." Tan Xuan said to the others.
Everyone nodded or agreed, expressing their attitude one after another, and then they all looked at the bottle in Tan Xuan's hand.
After explaining to everyone, Tan Xuan put the bottle on the coffee table, then lit a cigarette again, held the cigarette with two fingers and circled it counterclockwise around the mouth of the bottle, and finally placed the cigarette upright in the center of the bottle mouth.
above.
"Watch it!" Tan Xuan said and then loosened his fingers. The cigarette fell into the mouth of the bottle with the cigarette butt facing down and the cigarette butt facing up.
"Bang!"
As soon as the smoke fell into the bottle, there was a slight popping sound from the mouth of the bottle.
Tan Xuan held the bottle in his left hand and raised it above his head. With his right hand, he drew a few strokes on the bottom of the bottle with his sword skills. Then he put the bottle on the table and whispered "Ning" in his mouth!
Under the gaze of everyone, the white smoke in the bottle kept rolling and quickly condensed towards the middle. Soon the wall of the bottle returned to transparency, allowing everyone to see clearly what was inside the bottle again. Only the smoke inside the bottle could be seen clearly.
The cigarette that Tan Xuan had thrown in stood in the half-full bottle of water. The cigarette butt was inserted into the water, the pipe was facing upwards, and the cigarette butt was still glowing with fire. Above the cigarette butt, there was a ball condensed by the smoke, and the ball was the whole body.
White, with only a slight dark shadow in the middle.
Tan Xuan slapped his hands on the coffee table and shouted, "Show me!"
The bottle on the coffee table shook slightly, and the water in the bottle rippled. Then a scene that made everyone unbelievable appeared. The water in the bottle seemed to have been stirred, slowly forming some vortexes.
Moreover, the vortex turned faster and faster, and the center of the vortex gradually fell to the bottom of the bottle, and the cigarettes in the water also sank to the bottom of the bottle.
Suddenly, the rotating vortex stopped abruptly, and the surrounding water walls fell back along the bottle. The still burning cigarettes shot towards the white smoke mass like an arrow from the string. The white air mass burst,
The cigarette butt hit the black ball wrapped inside. Then the cigarette butt fell into the water, and the black ball-like thing also burst.
"Gah..."
Along with a piercing sound, the black ball suddenly burst and turned into a ferocious-looking baby with teeth and claws. It had a big head and a small body. It didn't look big, but it was very scary.
"ah!"
Everyone was startled by the little thing, but Liu Zhiming was even more unbearable. After screaming, he slumped down on the sofa with a look of panic, his body seemed to be shaking, he was trembling, and there was sweat on his face.
It's like washing with water.
The black baby was once again surrounded by white smoke, and its figure began to twist and melt in the smoke, falling into the water at the bottom of the bottle, and finally completely dissolved into the water. The original transparent water turned black, and
It's like being stained by ink.
Tan Xuan looked at the people with stunned expressions who had not yet recovered from the shock. He picked up the bottle on the coffee table, capped it and shook it. When he put it down again, the water in the bottle was no longer so black, and had a slightly darker color.
Yellow, just like being stained by cigarette butts.
"Did you see clearly just now?" Tan Xuan looked at Liu Zhiming and asked.
Liu Zhiming nodded with dull eyes, as if he hadn't gotten over the shock just now, "I see clearly."
Tan Xuan continued to ask: "Do you remember where you saw it?"
Liu Zhiming nodded again, and then shook his head vigorously.
Tan Xuan's brows wrinkled slightly, and there was an impatient look on his face again, and he said dissatisfiedly: "What do you mean by nodding and shaking your head?"
Liu Zhiming secretly glanced at the bottle in Tan Xuan's hand and said in a panic: "I have never seen him, but I remember its appearance."
Before Tan Xuan could speak, Qian Bo became angry. He slapped the coffee table and pointed at Liu Zhiming and shouted: "What are you talking about? If you have seen it, you have seen it. If you haven't seen it, you have never seen it. You haven't seen it."
Why do you still remember what that kid looks like? Speak up, otherwise no one will care about your wretchedness. You can go find whoever you like."
Liu Zhiming took Qian Bo's hand and explained: "Brother-in-law, I didn't mean that."
"Don't call me brother-in-law, you and Chengcheng are not married yet." Qian Bo threw away Liu Zhiming's hand angrily, "You don't mean that, then what do you mean? Say it quickly, we all should see it."
You saw it, what happened? Don't tell me that child was aborted by you and which woman."
Qian Bo's words caused everyone to burst into an uproar. After each of them looked at each other with those close to him, the look in Liu Zhiming's eyes became complicated, angry, sad, and contemptuous.
Liu Zhiming panicked because he saw the pained look in his parents' eyes, and hurriedly explained: "No, brother-in-law, it's not what you think."
"What does that look like, you tell me?" Qian Bo roared angrily, his voice was very loud, completely changing his usual cheerful demeanor.
Tan Xuan pulled Qian Bo aside. This was the first time he had seen Qian Bo lose his temper like this. He said in a calm tone: "What are you doing? Let's talk to each other if we have something to say. What are you shouting about? It's so late at night, don't let the neighbors
Filed a complaint."
"But he's so annoying..."
"Yes, yes..." Tan Xuan stopped the furious Qian Bo, "Don't worry, I haven't gotten angry yet, just help me get angry first. You can go and cool off."
Tan Xuan handed the bottle in his hand to Qian Bo, "Go and help me pour this into the toilet and flush it."
After Qian Bo took it, it felt like it was hot to his hands, and returned the bottle to Tan Xuan, "You can pour it yourself, I won't pour it."
"Look at how cowardly you are." Tan Xuan chuckled and then asked Liu Zhiming: "Tell me where you have seen it. You are sick now. It will not do you any good to hide your illness and avoid treatment."
Liu Zhiming looked at Tan Xuan with an innocent face and said: "It's not that I don't say anything, I'm afraid you won't believe me if I say it. I've never seen it in reality."
"Then where did you see it? In your dream?"
"Yeah!" Liu Zhiming nodded hurriedly, "I did see it in my dream, but I'm afraid you won't believe me if I tell you."
Liu Zhiming didn't have any confidence, and his voice became lower and lower. At the same time, he couldn't help but glance at Tan Xuan's face. He couldn't believe what he said, and how dare he ask Tan Xuan to believe it.
"Haha..." Tan Xuan laughed and said: "Why don't you believe this? You all can believe what ghosts and gods say, why can't you even believe in a dream? Tell me, when did you dream about it?
, what did you dream about it doing in your dream?"
"I dreamed about it a week ago. In the dream, I didn't know where I was. I just knew that the surroundings were dim and everything was blurry. Then the guy came out of nowhere and pounced on me. I was momentarily confused.
I didn't pay attention, but it bit my hand. It bit my hand till it was bloody and bloody, and all my fingers were bitten off. It hurt me badly in my dream, and then it suddenly woke me up... This orange
You can testify for me, I even told her about it at that time."
Tan Xuan did not ask Su Cheng for confirmation, but frowned slightly, "I dreamed of it biting your hand..."
Tan Xuan's eyes suddenly lit up and he said excitedly: "I see, show me the hand that was bitten in your dream."
Liu Zhiming stretched out his left hand, "That's it. There are no injuries on it. I checked it after I woke up."
"No." Tan Xuan shook his head and said firmly: "Your hand has been injured. Think about it carefully. It was injured before you had that dream, and your hand must have been bleeding at that time.
"
"No..." Liu Zhiming thought for a long time with a confused look on his face, but still didn't think of anything.
Liu Zhiming's parents and Su Cheng were also helping to remember. After all, they were always together. If Liu Zhiming was injured, they should also know.
Suddenly, Su Cheng raised his head and looked at Tan Xuan and asked, "Tan Xuan, does it count to be stabbed?"
Su Cheng felt that her question was a bit ridiculous, so she shook her head and lowered her head.
As a result, Tantanxuan asked eagerly as if he had discovered a new world: "When and where was it inserted?"
"Just a week ago, the group's entrepreneurial base broke ground. Zhiming and his uncle all attended the ceremony. While digging the soil, they were pricked by a wooden thorn on the handle of the shovel."
"Did you bleed when you pricked you?"
"There was no bleeding, it was just that there was a little blood on the wooden thorn when it was pulled out." Su Cheng replied happily, because she was the one who pulled out the wooden thorn, and she knew the scene at that time better than anyone else.
"That's it. What about the wood? What did you do with it?" Tan Xuan continued to ask.
"Just throw it away, what else can I do with it?" Su Cheng said a little speechlessly, now she was asking for help, otherwise she would have laughed at Tan Xuan.
"Did this happen before he had that dream, or after?"
"It was the same day." Su Cheng replied firmly, "The groundbreaking ceremony was held at noon, and the celebration banquet was held in the afternoon. Zhiming drank too much that day, and I sent him back to his residence. He had that dream at night...
"
Tan Xuan did not look at Su Cheng's face, which was getting redder and redder as he spoke, and snorted coldly, "Isn't that enough? It's quite a simple thing, but in the end, I didn't know anything about it after asking all the questions. It took me so long to do it."
"You said the evil energy on Zhiming's body was transmitted through the thorn on his hand? But it's just such a small wooden thorn..." Su Cheng looked straight at Tan Xuan with an expression of disbelief.
Although the others didn't speak, their expressions were almost the same as Su Cheng's.
"Small?" Tan Xuan snorted again and looked at Su Cheng as if he were an idiot, "Do you think this is about size? All it needs is a way."
Su Cheng stopped talking, and Lao Liu asked from the side: "Then where did this evil spirit come from? Did Zhiming encounter it by chance, or was someone deliberately trying to harm Zhiming?"
Tan Xuan shook his head, "It's hard to say this. You can only know it by going to the scene and seeing it."
