Chen You once said that once ordinary people are pulled into the illusion by A Piao, it is impossible for them to break out on their own.
But it was too easy and simple for Su Yi to break free from the illusion before, seemingly effortless.
He thought that maybe the little Ah Piao was too weak, but after "breaking away from the illusion", the cold atmosphere in the bathroom did not dissipate.
This shows that Su Yi did not break free. He was still in the illusion and just entered the "second act".
Su Yi looked at little Ah Piao crawling out of the toilet, her hideous little face looked like she was ready to eat.
People often say that fear comes from the unknown. Su Yi is no longer ignorant about ghosts, but he still has instinctive fear that arises spontaneously.
Even though he was sure that the kid in front of him was no threat to him, he was still afraid.
If the story of Song Dingbo catching ghosts is true, then Su Yi really admires this senior who sold the ghost for money when he saw it for the first time.
"Uh-huh..."
Little Ah Piao was lying on the edge of the toilet, his mouth suddenly opened. It was hard to imagine that for such a small face, his mouth was actually wider than his face.
Su Yi narrowed his eyes and stared at him for a while, but little Ah Piao just lay there with his mouth wide open, showing no intention of rushing towards him.
Su Yi suddenly took a step forward.
He found that little Ah Piao's body was obviously stiff.
He suddenly knew what was going on.
Without hesitation, he stepped forward without saying a word, held down little Ah Piao's head and pushed him into the toilet. Then he sat on it again.
He felt a pair of small hands holding his buttocks to push him up, but the strength was not weak.
But Su Yi ignored it at all, wriggled his intestines and stomach, loosened the clenched moon, and released it without any scruples.
The pair of small hands holding his butt disappeared in a "whoosh".
Immediately afterwards, the atmosphere in the bathroom returned to normal instantly, and even the lights seemed to become a little brighter.
Little Ah Piao ran away...
The discomfort in his heart completely disappeared, and Su Yi breathed a sigh of relief.
It is reasonable to say that if you are not surprised, you will lose yourself if you are surprised.
He did not try his best to break away from the illusion immediately. In fact, he wanted to make sure that he would not be in any danger and that he had a trump card to exit at any time. He wanted to test more and see if there was any way to deal with the illusion besides supernatural powers.
The result of the current test is still uncertain whether his "fearlessness" played a role or whether his shit played a role.
If it's the latter, then his shit brother has once again lived up to his reputation...
At the same time, the funeral parlor downstairs received an uninvited guest.
Ah Jiu was kneeling on the futon and meditating cross-legged. Suddenly, he felt something and opened his eyes.
I saw Chen You stepping in the door with his hands behind his back.
Ah Jiu was startled, her eyes flashed sharply, she was stunned for a moment, then she quickly stood up and went to meet him.
"Brother You? I'm a rare visitor. This is your first time coming back to my place." Ah Jiu said with a smile, "Please, please come inside!"
Chen You looked around expressionlessly.
The space in this funeral parlor is not small, and in front of each wall are enshrined several ferocious statues with similar looks. Each one has small cheeks and red shoulders. Their faces are either ferocious, cunning, or sinister, which makes people shudder.
Chen You recognized that these statues were called night wandering gods. They were originally evil ghosts, but were later recruited by the underworld and became gods that patrolled the world at night.
Although the Night Walker God is a canonized orthodox god, he is a Yin god and has always been rejected by human practitioners and regarded as unlucky.
Ah Jiu worships the Night Wandering God in his own home. For Chen You, a Maoshan orthodox, he is definitely considered an evil heretic.
He felt more and more disgusted, but did not show it.
On the west wall, a square wooden frame has been repaired, and in each square, there are densely packed urns with spiritual tablets.
In a place like Hong Kong Island where land is precious, the poor not only cannot afford to live, but also cannot afford to die. The cheapest cemetery costs 100,000 yuan. To rent a niche in a cemetery, the annual rent is not cheap. At least you need to live in it.
Poor people cannot afford public housing.
It is unlucky to place an urn at home, so funeral parlors like Ah Jiu emerged that specifically serve the poor.
After a poor person dies, his family leaves it to Ah Jiu to take care of the funeral affairs. Ah Jiu provides a series of one-stop services from cremation, burial, funeral services, etc. at low fees. Most importantly, his funeral parlor can also store ashes.
Altar and altar.
For a very low price, you can store the ashes of your deceased relatives here. If your relatives want to come to pay homage, it is very convenient and there is no extra charge.
Chen You looked at the densely packed spiritual tablets and ashes altar to the west, and made up his mind that he must make a will before his death and never let his ashes appear here.
After looking around for a week, Chen You's nose twitched and he frowned slightly.
He asked about a strange smell.
As a Taoist priest, he was very sensitive and could distinguish the smell of ashes, corpse oil, incense and several medicinal materials mixed together.
He couldn't tell the difference no matter how specific it was.
But Chen You didn't think much about it.
This is a funeral parlor, and it's not surprising that there are these smells here.
His eyes fell on Ah Jiu's face.
Ah Jiu laughed along, hunched over, with a humble and flattering look on his face, but his eyes were full of fierceness.
This is also the reason why Chen You has always disliked Ah Jiu. As the saying goes, the face is born from the heart, Ah Jiu has a mean and vicious face, and you can tell at a glance that he is definitely not a kind person.
"You look very bad." Chen You looked at him and said, "You look like you are about to die. Are you sick?"
Ah Jiu said with a smile: "Maybe it's because I've been feeling a little unwell lately. Brother Laoyou, please forget about it."
"Brother Friend, why don't you go sit down inside and talk slowly?"
Chen You suddenly looked towards the corner on the left, and the kid Su Yi saw before suddenly retracted his head.
"No." Chen You took out the bottle of cow's tears from his pocket and threw it away.
Ah Jiu stretched out his hand and grabbed it, holding it in his hand. His eyes suddenly flashed with light, but it passed away in a flash.
"You should keep this thing." Chen You said, "Qian Xiaohao is a registered disciple of our sect. Ah Jiu, you don't know that yet, right?"
Ah Jiu looked uncertain, and finally smiled and said, "Really? I really don't know."
"Then you know now?" Chen Youdao said, "When he was filming a movie, he asked a senior of our team to be a consultant. After getting to know each other, he became our disciple."
"It seems that I'm just being sentimental." Ah Jiu said with a smile, "I'm also worried that he will be deceived. Brother You, you also know how powerful those two ghosts in 2442 are."
"Since you know how powerful you are, why do you still give him cow tears?" Chen You couldn't help but sneered, "You also sent a kid to cover his eyes to prevent him from seeing me? Ah Jiu, you are really despicable, using other people's lives to help others
You lead the pair of Ah Piao."
"Ah Piao?" Ah Jiu was startled, but quickly figured out what this title meant.
"I have asked Brother You several times to join us in slaying demons and eradicating this evil, but you have always refused." Ah Jiu sighed and said, "I had no other choice, so I took this step."
"You are so despicable!" Chen You cursed again in disgust.
Ah Jiu was quite self-indulgent, just smiling humbly and hunching his back.
"Ah Hao is my junior brother, don't mess with him!" Chen You stared at Ah Jiu and said every word.
"If Brother You has to worry about him, of course I won't be troublesome." Ah Jiu's attitude was very low.
"2442 I put the talisman on it. Even if I follow the rules, those two Ah Piao belong to me. You are not allowed to interfere!" Chen You warned, "If you want to slay demons, go somewhere else! The most dangerous place in the world
The one thing that is not missing is Ah Piao, why do you have to keep an eye on 2442?"
"Ahem..." Ah Jiu coughed suddenly. He wanted to say something, but the cough got worse and worse. His eyes bulged out, and his face was so suppressed that the veins popped out and turned purple and cyanotic.
"Hey, you're coughing like this, are you really going to die?" Chen You said suspiciously.
"Cough cough cough... Brother You cough cough... I won't keep you anymore... cough cough cough..." Ajiu held on and coughed violently.
Chen You glanced at him and said: "Go to the hospital when you have time, don't hold on, let's go!"
He turned around, stepped out of the threshold, and walked into the distance.
The reason why he came to Ah Jiu was to warn him to stay away from Su Yi and stay away from 2442.
Now that his goal was achieved, he was too lazy to stay any longer.
As for the origin of that little ghost, and why Ah Jiu looked like a consumptive ghost about to die, he didn't bother to care.
After Chen You left, Ah Jiu coughed violently and could no longer stand still.
He forced himself to close the door, then staggered towards the back room. He coughed even harder, and even couldn't help spitting out a mouthful of black, red, smelly blood.
Finally, he threw himself down next to a shelf in the back hall, trembling and opened an iron box.
But the iron box was empty.
"Cough cough cough..." He coughed more urgently, fell to the ground, and took out a small urn from the bottom layer of the cabinet shelf on one side.
This urn looked quite new, but when Ah Jiu took it, he accidentally knocked over the token in front of the urn.
The token reads - the position of beloved grandson Zhao Jiarenjie.
Boom!
Suddenly a thunder exploded in the sky, and lightning instantly covered half of the sky like huge claws, illuminating the night like day.
While coughing violently, Ah Jiu opened the urn, grabbed a handful of ashes from inside, and scattered them on a piece of cigarette paper.
He tried his best to control his hands so as not to shake too much, and rolled a cigarette with the ashes.
Then he put the cigarette in his mouth, lit it with a match while shivering, and took a long puff.
He stopped coughing immediately.
Breathing out a puff of smoke happily.
Milky white smoke filled the air, shrouding the outline of a child's head screaming crazily at his face.
Ah Jiu conveniently covered the lid of the urn with his other hand, and the vision disappeared immediately.
Ah Jiu took another puff of the cigarette, and the strange and rich aroma filled the entire room.
In the corner not far away, the little kid with the gaping hole, his eyes sewn shut, was huddled and shivering.
Sobbing and muttering something.
Ah Jiu listened with strange eyes.
"There are indeed many ghosts in the world, but these are the only two ghosts who are born with the same origin..."
In the diffuse smoke, his expression became more cruel and ferocious.
That night, Su Yi didn't sleep well.
It's not because of sneaky harassment, but because I saw a ghost during the day, which inevitably made me uneasy. When I closed my eyes, I saw the twin girls looking hideous.
Until the third watch, he still heard voices coming from the door.
It's Yang Feng and her son.
The mother and son ran into the corridor in the middle of the night, seemingly looking for something to eat.
They left quickly.
It was difficult to fall asleep anyway, so Su Yi simply meditated on the bed and practiced internal energy.
After going back and forth, it's time for Gastrodia to shine.
Only then did Su Yi feel a little sleepy.
He lay on the bed and fell asleep for a while, when he heard a knock on the door.
"Ahao! Ahao!"
Chen You's loud voice reached Su Yi's ears clearly even though it was separated by the door panel and a wall.
Su Yi quickly got up, shook his head to wake himself up, stood up, put on a coat, and went to open the door for Chen You.
When he arrived at the living room, he found that the door of the large wardrobe in the corner was half open.
He looked away without any disturbance in his heart and opened the door.
"Hey, are you still sleeping?" Seeing Su Yi's look, Chen You couldn't help but complain, and raised what he was carrying, "I brought you barbecued pork buns, go and wash up, you won't forget
Did we make an appointment yesterday?"
"Of course I remember, but does it need to be so early?" Su Yi said helplessly, "It's only after six o'clock, brother!"
"Hey, after Chen hour, do you think ghosts will still come out in broad daylight?" Chen You said, "It means it rained last night and it's still cloudy now, otherwise I would have called you an hour earlier."
"Wait for me for five minutes." Su Yi rubbed his face and walked towards the back room.
"That's pretty much it." Chen You said with a smile, "Did you have a good time last night?"
"At about ten o'clock, that little guy came to the toilet." Su Yi talked to him through the gun, "But he couldn't do anything to me."
After ten o'clock?
Chen You frowned. It was almost eleven o'clock when he went to Ah Jiu's house last night. In other words, before he went, Ah Jiu sent another kid to harass Su Yi?
"Logically speaking, I shouldn't be able to see that little Ah Piao, right?" Su Yi asked again, "Why not only did I see it last night, but I was also pulled into an illusion by it?"
"It's not an ordinary Ah Piao, but a tool." Chen You explained, "It should have a borrowing talisman attached to it, otherwise it's just a white-shirted ghost who wouldn't be able to create an illusion. The reason why you can see it
I got there because Ah Jiu was up to something."
After a pause, Chen You said again: "I went to see him last night. He probably won't harass you anymore."
"Really? Thank you, Brother You!" Su Yi wiped his face and walked out, his clothes already neatly dressed.
He picked up a barbecued pork bun and threw it into his mouth. He chewed it a few times and commented: "It tastes good. Brother You, would you like one?"
"I've eaten." Chen You waved his hand, "Ah Hao, we have to leave quickly. The journey will take at least half an hour."
Su Yi asked: "Is the place you are going to remote?"
"It's very remote." Chen You said.
Su Yi smiled.
"Brother You, I remember you asked me yesterday if there is such a thing as Qing Gong? Do you want to try it?"
Chen You was startled, his eyes shining.
"certainly!"
He looked at the clothes he was wearing, especially the flip-flops on his feet, and suddenly ran out and said, "I'm going to change clothes first. Come to my house to find me after you finish eating!"
