Xiao Xiao has become completely accustomed to automatically ignoring the old man's hurtful words.
Although it is difficult for him to argue with an old man, he can still make the other person a little angry.
…
"Can you let me see your room?"
Xiao Xiao said to the old man who blocked the door.
…
"no."
The old man refused unceremoniously, "Well, since you haven't found it, you can leave."
"Go quickly, go quickly."
The old man waved his hand with a stern expression on his face.
"You and your cats should never come here again."
"Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude."
…
Xiao Xiao looked out at the sky, which was covered with dark clouds and heavy rain.
The sound of "crackling" rain is endless.
There is a thick layer of water vapor in the air.
…
"Grandpa, it's raining so heavily, please let me stay a little longer."
Xiao Xiao looked at the old man.
…
Noticing Xiao Xiao's small movements before, the old man also looked at the rain outside, and he couldn't say anything to drive people away.
The bad breath around him stagnated, and then he calmed down a little, "Forget it, just stay here if you want."
"Leave immediately when the rain stops, do you understand?"
…
"Well, grandpa, this room-"
"no."
Before Xiao Xiao could finish his words, he was interrupted impatiently by the old man.
Rejected again.
…
Xiao Xiao smiled and said, "Grandpa, I won't go in."
"Can you just look at the door?"
…
"If I don't take a look, I'll always be a little reluctant."
"What if the kitten is in this room."
…
"impossible."
The old man categorically denied, "I have been here all the time, and I don't know if a cat really came in?"
…
"Always?"
"Didn't you just go out and open the door for me?"
Xiao Xiao pointed out the omission in the old man's words, "What if-"
It is not impossible that the kitten took advantage of this time to run into this room.
…
The old man was a little speechless.
Because this possibility is indeed not impossible.
…
"Grandpa, I'm sorry to bother you."
"I'll just take a look at the door. I won't go in, okay?"
Xiao Xiao's always good attitude made the old man hesitate.
Moreover, I didn’t go into the house, I just looked at it at the door.
...
The old man looked at the dense rain for a while, and then said with some reluctance: "Okay then."
"Just look at the door."
The old man emphasized.
Judging from the previous two "fights", if this young man forced his way in, he wouldn't be able to resist at all.
…
"Um."
Xiao Xiao nodded seriously, "Just look at the door."
"Thanks."
…
The old man opened the door behind him.
Xiao Xiao's eyes widened for a moment.
He remembered the introduction of the old man by the aunt he met before.
Wu Banxian, Wu Shengun...?
…
The decoration of this house does indeed fit this title.
Xiao Xiao stared at the Yin Yang Bagua diagram directly in front of his eyes for a while.
Then I looked at the Bagua mirror and compass on the wall, and I was quite amazed.
Except for the chance to see a few so-called half-immortals who tell fortunes on the street, he has never really seen what their houses look like.
Today was an eye-opener.
…
"Hey, my house is not something ordinary people can see."
"You kid, you are lucky today."
The old man's voice sounded somewhat proud. Xiao Xiao subconsciously withdrew his gaze and wanted to look at the old man.
But his eyes stopped halfway.
His pupils contracted violently for a moment.
Pipa ghost?!
…
The Pipa Ghost lay on the ground holding his lute.
From Xiao Xiao's perspective, he could only see the top of his black hair and his frail figure.
Can't see the face.
The bare feet were so pale that they were almost transparent.
Pipa ghost......
Xiao Xiao frowned.
…
Although he had clearly seen the Pipa Ghost, Xiao Xiao still couldn't feel any of the other person's aura.
He narrowed his eyes slightly and noticed the weak rise and fall of the other person's body.
This relieved him.
…
Xiao Xiao calmed down.
A sense of familiarity passed through his heart.
...
Soon, he understood where this familiar feeling came from.
This was not the first time he had encountered such a situation.
The monster was clearly right in front of him, but he couldn't detect its aura.
This was also the case when Yinzi was trapped in the demon cage before.
…
So, what is it about Pipa Ghost that prevents him from being free?
Also cut off the breath?
Xiao Xiao carefully looked around the Pipa Ghost's body.
Soon, he discovered something.
…
Just under the Pipa Ghost, there is a rather mysterious circular pattern.
Obvious...formation?
…
"Hey, boy, you have a good sense."
The old man noticed the focus of Xiao Xiao's gaze and finally couldn't help but speak, with a bit of fanaticism and excitement in his tone, "Do you know what formation this is?"
…
"What formation?"
This is what Xiao Xiao wanted to ask.
But seeing the Pipa Ghost trapped in it, he could probably guess what kind of formation it was.
"Isn't it a formation to catch monsters?"
He said jokingly.
…
"Hey, how do you know?"
The old man looked at Xiao Xiao with a shocked expression, "Boy, you-"
…
"I just made a wild guess."
Xiao Xiao smiled.
However, there was no smile in the lowered eyes.
Anyone who sees his or her friends being ignorant will probably not be in a good mood.
…
"real?"
The old man asked with some uncertainty.
Then I thought it was a bit funny to ask myself this question.
What's so true about this?
...
"Ahem."
The old man coughed twice and said, "Yes, you have some understanding."
"This is the monster catching formation that I finally completed."
The old man rarely lost the gloominess on his face, revealing a look of joy.
Obviously very proud of his work.
...
"What kind of demon-catching formation?"
"Dad, how many times have I told you not to mess around with these unrealistic things all day long."
A man's voice came in.
...
Xiao Xiao and the old man turned their heads together.
He is a young man in his early thirties.
Because it was raining heavily outside, even though the man was holding an umbrella, his shoulders and trousers were still soaked in water and dyed dark.
...
The old man's bright face turned ugly again, "What are you doing here?"
...
"Dad, are you still angry?"
The young man smiled politely at Xiao Xiao and replied to the old man's words.
...
"Aren't you going to come see me, old man?"
The old man said with a straight face, "What are you doing here now?"
...
"Hey? When did I-"
The young man was a little confused, and then he shouted as if he remembered something, "Dad, I told you before, I will be traveling abroad on business for about a month."
"You won't forget, will you?"
...
The old man was stunned for a moment, then quickly said with a pinched neck: "What did you forget?"
"Your dad and I don't have Alzheimer's disease yet!"
