The black shadow called my father's nickname and jumped towards me.
I wanted to hide away, but then I realized that the opening of the soul-inducing altar just now had exhausted my physical strength. Before the black shadow came over, I tilted my body and lay down sideways. Mai Xiao
Rou jumped up to me and slapped the black shadow with his left palm!
"Bang!"
There was a muffled sound, and the black figure was slapped by Mai Xiaorou and flew backward three to four meters.
Mai Xiaorou asked me what was wrong, and I said I had no strength left, and then asked her to clean up the dirty things and leave me alone. I would be fine after a short rest.
Mai Xiaorou nodded at me, then let me lie down, then turned around and rushed towards the black shadow ghost.
The ghost's body was so light that it swayed left and right to avoid Mai Xiaorou's several attacks. Then it suddenly turned its head and rushed towards my mother again.
I yelled "No", but Mai Xiaorou remained calm and composed.
"Bang!"
The ghost bumped into my mother's body. Instead of rushing into her body, it was bounced back.
Only then did I notice that there was a yellow talisman stuck on my mother's chest. It must have been put on it by Mai Xiaorou when I was learning to open the altar just now.
After the ghost was bounced back, Mai Xiaorou squeezed her fingers and rushed over, pinching the black figure's neck directly. At the same time, Mai Xiaorou muttered: "Now that it's out, don't even think about it."
Let’s go back soon!”
After the black shadow's neck was pinched, it immediately succumbed, and the aura of claws and teeth disappeared immediately.
I looked at Mai Xiaorou and said in surprise: "Is this solved?"
Mai Xiaojudao: "It hasn't been solved yet, but I have subdued it. It's nothing to make a fuss about. It's just a black shadow ghost. When it's in Auntie's body, I can't do anything about it, but once it comes out, then
It will be easy for me to clean it up. In the final analysis, it is thanks to your success of the soul-inducing altar, otherwise I would have no other good way to force it out of Auntie's body."
Shadow ghost?
Seeing that I didn’t know much about the types of ghosts, Mai Xiaorou explained to me: “Ghosts are divided into five types according to color: white shirt, yellow leaf, black shadow, red sharp, and green. The white shirt is the worst, and the green is the third.
The most powerful thing is that even I would be a little wary when I see the Green Ghost."
I nodded, and Mai Xiaorou added: "Beyond the Green Ghost, there are also powerful ghosts, but those ghosts are very rare and generally don't appear in the human world, so there's basically no need to worry."
When Mai Xiaorou said this, she carried the ghost to the basin of water. She raised her hand and directly pressed the black ghost into the water. Then she quickly grabbed a handful.
The ashes were scattered on the surface of the clear water.
"Woooo..."
A scream immediately erupted from the clear water basin, and then the floating ashes formed the shape of a blurry face of a person. Although it was blurry, the mouth, nose, and eyes could be discerned.
After doing this, Mai Xiaorou explained to me: "Although this water belongs to yin, it is clear water. It is for the comparison of gentlemen. Putting ghosts in it will not hurt their souls, and secondly, it can express honesty to the ghosts."
It means to treat each other. The ashes are yang, and when combined with the yin of the clear water, a temporarily balanced yin and yang point will be formed. This point has an environment that can accommodate ghosts and can also restrict ghosts from escaping at will."
I quickly understood what Mai Xiaorou meant. She had no intention of beating the ghost, but instead trapped it temporarily.
That ghost had taken over my mother's body and wanted to kill Mai Xiaorou and me. If I had Mai Xiaorou's ability, I would have dispersed it long ago. What's the purpose of trapping it!?
Seeing that I couldn't understand her intention, Mai Xiaorou smiled at me and said, "Chen Yu, fighting ghosts is not just about beating ghosts. If you break up their souls and hurt their bodies, you will also destroy yourself." It is part of the merits of ghosts, so the real purpose of beating ghosts is not to disperse them, but to 'eliminate resentment', to eliminate the resentment in them and let them dissipate on their own, or go to the underworld to be punished, or enter the reincarnation and be reincarnated. Of course, some extremely vicious evil spirits can be killed directly."
I pointed to the vague grimace in the basin and said, "It took over my mother's body and wanted to use my mother's body to kill me and you. Isn't this considered extremely evil?"
Mai Xiaorou said to me in an extremely calm tone: "I know you are carrying a lot of personal emotions right now, but there is one fact before us. We are all fine and fine. Even if it has happened, it can Sin does not lead to death. Furthermore, it is not without reason that it came to Auntie and you. I am afraid that it has some grudges against your family. What we have to do is to resolve those grudges and let them dissipate on their own, rather than involuntarily If we really do that, what is the difference between us and this ghost that is blinded by hatred and has lost its mind?"
To be honest, I didn't expect Mai Xiaorou to say such a great truth. For a moment, I couldn't refute it. I was already convinced by Mai Xiaorou's words.
Seeing that I seemed to understand the truth, Mai Xiaorou said: "I will try to communicate with the ghost now, try to understand what kind of conflict it has with your family, and see if I can resolve the matter peacefully."
I nodded and said okay.
At this time, the Snake King Pendant on my chest suddenly sent a warm breath to my chest, which allowed me to regain some strength, and I slowly stood up.
Mai Xiaorou glanced at me and said with some surprise: "You recovered so quickly. You don't look like a non-cultivating person at all."
I said it was the Snake King Pendant. Mai Xiaorou smiled and said, "That's your blessing."
After saying that, Mai Xiaorou asked the ghost in the basin: "Tell me your name, where you came from, and what kind of feud you have with the Chen family, or you will kill the descendants of the Chen family."
At this time, I walked slowly and leisurely to my mother. She was still unconscious. I held her carefully, fearing that she would fall off the chair.
More than ten seconds after Mai Xiaorou finished speaking, the grimace in the water basin finally spoke slowly: "My name is Liu Shengfu, and I came from the provincial capital. The main purpose of coming this time is to settle accounts with Chen Laizi!"
Mai Xiaorou asked curiously: "Are you a shadow ghost floating here from the provincial capital?"
Liu Shengfu said: "I just died a few days ago. When I came from the provincial capital, I was still fine and alive. It was Chen Laizi who killed me!"
Hearing this, I couldn't help but wonder: "Don't be so rude, my father has been dead for many years, how could he kill you? Also, what is the relationship between you and my father? What does he owe you?"
My father has been dead for many years, and I will never allow others to tarnish his reputation at will.
I asked a few questions at once, but Liu Shengfu didn't know what to say. The fire in the clear water began to shake, and the grimace made of ashes became a little unstable.
Mai Xiaorou grabbed a handful of ashes and sprinkled some more into the water and said: "You'd better control your temper. You don't have to answer his questions one by one and start the matter between you and Chen Laizi from scratch.
Just tell it once."
Liu Shengfu said: "Okay!"
Then Liu Shengfu told some things about him and my father.
When he was young, my father did not make a living by collecting medicines in the village. Instead, he went to work in the provincial capital. However, he was not a very serious person. He spent all day sneaking around and often secretly sold some unimportant materials on the construction site to collectors.
Broken, in exchange for some money.
Liu Shengfu is from the provincial capital, but he is also a gangster. Because he cannot find a job, he also works on the construction site to earn a living.
He and my father had a similar affinity and became good friends. The two of us worked together and made a lot of money using materials from the construction site.
If you don't know, you have to do it yourself. Many workers on the construction site knew about the activities my father and Liu Shengfu did, and some even imitated the two of them to "earn" pocket money. From that time, my father had a nickname
"Laizi" means rogue.
The more people stole things, the more materials were lost on the construction site, which quickly attracted the attention of the leaders on the construction site. From that time on, my father and Liu Shengfu did not dare to take action again, while several others held the
Those who luckily continued to steal were caught and sent to the police.
My father and Liu Shengfu saw that their way of making money was gone and they were lazy by nature, so they quit their jobs at the construction site and went to fool around.
All the money they earned was lost within a few days. Liu Shengfu's family was from the provincial capital, so my father and Liu Shengfu went to his house to eat and drink. However, the living conditions of the Liu family were not good, and there were two older brothers.
, the family was heavily in debt in order to buy a wife and a house for his two brothers. In addition, Liu Shengfu himself was unsatisfactory and had such a bad character, so Liu Shengfu's father drove Liu Shengfu and my father out of anger.
Home door.
Two lazy people had no choice but to do some illegal business. They made a choice and decided to go to a place called "Tang Fu Teahouse" to steal because there were few customers there and it was remote.
When Liu Shengfu said this, I couldn't help but feel that the name sounded familiar. When I thought about it carefully, I immediately remembered that this was the teahouse that the Taoist named Zhang Rui mentioned.
The two of them stole a teahouse owned by a monk, and nothing bad would happen to them.
The story continues, Liu Shengfu and my father went to steal Tangfu Teahouse, and as expected they were caught. However, the owner of the teahouse did not send the two people to the police, but asked the two people to help him do something. It was done.
There will be an extremely generous reward after that. If two people are restrained enough, they can spend a stable life.
When he said this, Liu Shengfu's face in the clear water basin began to become a little unstable again.
Mai Xiaorou grabbed another handful of ashes and put it in, and then her grimace stabilized.
I quickly asked Liu Shengfu what the owner of Tangfu Teahouse asked them to do.
Liu Shengfu was silent for a while and then said slowly: "The boss asked us to dig a grave and dig something out of the grave for him!"
Mai Xiaorou couldn't help but wonder: "Then Tang Fu Tea House has a great background, why do they need two ordinary people to help them dig things? This is weird!" (To be continued)
