"Help me take her in!" I turned to Shi Xian and said.
During the conversation, I have already figured out what Xiao Xi's weakness is. It will not take a while to completely conquer her. As she vents, a lot of resentment in her body also leaks out. It's time to put it into the soul-suppressing gourd.
.
While I threw the soul-calming gourd in my hand to Shi Xian, who was standing stunned, I gathered my energy to react quickly and reached out to catch the urn that was about to hit Lian Ruowei's arm.
With the blessing of the powerful Yang Qi, everything that was about to happen in the lightning flash slowed down several times in my eyes.
Xiao Xi let out a scream, which turned into a stream of light smoke and was put into the soul-suppressing gourd by Shi Xian.
The lights in Hall 3 stopped flickering and became bright again.
All traces of blood and other traces on the floor created by Xiao Xi's blindfolding illusion also disappeared, leaving only the remaining Yin Qi on Xiao Xi's body and the faint black resentment that gradually dissipated.
I reached out my hand neatly to catch the urn and put it back on high ground.
"Are you okay?" I took out a handkerchief from my body and gently brushed off the gray-white bone powder all over Lian Ruowei's head and face.
"Hu Ling! Why am I so unlucky every time I meet you!"
Lian Ruowei angrily snatched the handkerchief from my hand and wiped it on her face haphazardly.
I showed a slightly embarrassed smile to Lian Ruowei and said, "My friends are indeed unlucky when they meet me."
Lian Ruowei was stunned for a moment, glared at me and snorted: "Only a psycho would want to be friends with you!"
After saying that, even Ruowei stopped caring about the ashes and powder all over her head and face, turned around and walked out the door.
I looked at Lian Ruowei's back and smiled unconsciously on my face.
In fact, there are many people around us who dislike each other for some reasons, and may even feel that they are naturally incompatible with each other. But if we really get along with them, we will find that they are not as annoying as we think.
Sometimes, the difficulty in getting along and the reluctance to get close are just due to the prejudice when we first met.
"Hu Ling, I'll give this back to you!" Shi Xian walked up to me, handed the soul-soothing gourd back to me, and said with a smile: "That girl has such a temper, she has a sharp mouth and a soft heart."
"She's actually quite nice." I smiled and nodded, "Let's go out too!"
At some point the sun broke through the clouds and the originally gloomy sky became sunny.
When we walked out of the gate of the old building, Lian Ruowei had already walked to the flower bed in the backyard, spread her ponytail, bent down and stroked her hair to shake off the ashes and powder on it.
Curator Yang is much better now, but his face is still a little pale due to excessive panic.
Lu Xiaohong was supporting Director Yang and looked towards the door of the old building with some worry. He happened to see Shi Xian and I walking out and was obviously relieved.
"Are you okay?" Lu Xiaohong turned to look at Lian Ruowei and looked me up and down.
"It's okay, I encountered some minor problems." I shook my head and said.
Shi Xian also looked at Lian Ruowei, and the corner of his mouth twitched a few times. He looked like he wanted to laugh but couldn't hold it back. He looked back at Lu Xiaohong and joked: "Old Lu, Hu Ling's skills are pretty good, I'm afraid he's no longer inferior to you.
It shouldn’t be her danger that you’re worried about, right?”
I pretended not to understand what Shi Xian meant, and looked at Director Yang as if nothing had happened and asked, "Director Yang, where do you have a restroom here?"
Curator Yang raised his finger and pointed to the left side of the cement road, "There is a public restroom just around the corner over there. Uncle Tong cleans it every day. It's very clean!"
Lian Ruowei, who was leaning aside, raised his head when he heard Director Yang's words. He quickly threw his long hair back, glared at Shi Xian and said, "Shitou, do you think I, Lian Ruowei, is the kind of person who can stand in a tree?"
Someone hanging from a tree?
It's true that I liked Lu Xiaohong before, but now that he has made it clear that Hu Ling is his girlfriend, I won't pester him anymore. If you make fun of this in the future, don't blame me for being impatient with you!
"
After saying that, Ruowei didn't even look at us anymore, turned around and strode towards the direction pointed by Director Yang, with an exquisite and straight back.
I didn't follow her. I was asking Lian Ruowei because she needed to wash her face.
It's just that I didn't expect this girl to have such a cheerful personality, dare to admit in front of everyone that she once liked Lu Xiaohong, and also express that she had let go in front of everyone.
I was a little stunned.
Shi Xian looked at me and then at Lu Xiaohong, his expression a little embarrassed.
Only Lu Xiaohong was still calm, he just glanced at me quickly with a bit of worry in his eyes.
I smiled at Lu Xiaohong and shook my head gently, indicating that I didn't care.
Lu Xiaohong is so good, I would be surprised if no girls liked him.
Fortunately, he can clearly state his position at any time and is not sloppy. Fortunately, I met a frank and straightforward love rival like Lian Ruowei.
Lian Ruowei quickly washed her face and came back. She looked at Lu Xiaohong and Shi Xian nonchalantly and said, "Shitou, Lu Xiaohong, what should we do now? Should we continue the investigation or wait until the uncle Tong comes back?"
It's as if she wasn't the one who just dropped the bomb that burned us all to a crisp.
Shi Xianwang asked Lu Xiaohong: "Old Lu, what do you think?"
Lu Xiaohong raised his hand and glanced at the watch on his wrist, and asked Director Yang, "Can you call Uncle Tong and ask when he will be back?"
"That's fine!" Director Yang replied, taking out his cell phone and starting to make a call.
As the call was dialed, Director Yang put the phone to his ear, but after a moment he put it down again, looked at Lu Xiaohong and said, "Uncle Tong's phone is turned off!"
"Is his home far from here?" Lu Xiaohong asked again.
"It's a little far away, over there in Pichuan. It's said that his wife was buried in the mountains according to the custom of her hometown. It's probably because there is no signal in the mountains." Director Yang said.
"But he will definitely come back today. Forty-nine days have passed since the last time he performed the ritual. He will definitely come back tonight to perform the salvation ritual." Director Yang continued.
Lu Xiaohong nodded and said, "Then we can only wait until he comes back."
Director Yang thought for a while, looked at Lu Xiaohong and asked, "Master Lu, why do you have to wait for Uncle Tong to come back? Do you still think this matter has something to do with Uncle Tong?"
Lu Xiaohong looked at Director Yang and nodded: "Uncle Tong is indeed related to this matter!"
His tone was completely positive and there was no hesitation.
"ah?"
Curator Yang exclaimed in shock: "I don't think it's possible. Uncle Tong is a very nice person. Nothing like this has ever happened to him after working here for so many years. Besides, what does he want with those three corpses?"
"I don't know what he wanted the body for, but I know he must have done it!"
As he spoke, Lu Xiaohong raised his finger and pointed to the side of the old building and asked Director Yang: "That should be where Uncle Tong lives, right?"
