It seems that all the hard work just now was not in vain.
I was just about to say thank you to Xiaobai, but Xiaobai suddenly said to me: "I can't go back to where you live!"
I asked in confusion: "What's wrong?"
Xiaobai said: "Don't you know where the ghost energy in you comes from?"
I thought about it carefully, could it be that I met him in the elevator last night?
Xiaobai looked at me seriously and said, "I suspect that the people around you are evil!"
I was shocked after hearing what Xiaobai said. The only people around me were the landlord and Song Ying. As for ghosts, I really met a lot of them recently, the boy named Lele, and the female ghost I met in the hotel.
.,
Seeing my calm look, Xiaobai asked me in surprise: "Aren't you scared?"
"Afraid!" I said.
"What are your plans? My master asked me to protect you!" Xiaobai said.
"In this case, I want to ask you to do me a favor. I wonder if you can agree?" I said.
"Do you want me to help you catch ghosts?" Xiaobai opened his eyes wide and saw through my thoughts.
I nodded.
"No!" Xiaobai refused directly.
I was a little disappointed. In fact, I was planning to let Xiaobai go to Chao Lele, but Xiaobai refused so decisively, and there was nothing I could do about it.
"When it's done, I'll give you ten thousand!" I said.
"Do you think I'm the kind of person who is short of money?" Xiaobai looked at me with disdain and pointed to the gold chain around his neck.
I sighed. It seems that I am the only one who can figure this out. The worst I can do is pay a Taoist priest to help the landlord. The landlord is kind to me, so I can't ignore it!
At this time, Xiaobai suddenly spoke: "Let me ask you, is this person important to you?"
I nodded.
Xiaobai looked embarrassed and said: "Who asked me to promise Master to help you? In this case, I reluctantly agreed! But can the price be higher?"
"Fifteen thousand!" I said.
"Deal!" Xiaobai agreed, then started to pack his things, and hurriedly pulled me out of the room. I suddenly felt that Xiaobai was even more anxious than me.
I took Xiaobai directly to the landlord's residence. On the way, I briefly introduced Lele's situation to Xiaobai. After hearing this, Xiaobai frowned and said that this matter is not that simple.
In fact, I also feel this way.
I asked Xiaobai if he had any plans?
Xiaobai shook his head and said, "Go and have a look first before talking."
I bought some fruits on the way, and then went to the landlord's house, which lived in the same community as the landlord. As soon as Xiaobai and I walked downstairs to the landlord's house, Xiaobai suddenly stood there and raised his head with an ugly face.
"Does the landlord you mentioned live on the fifth floor?" Xiaobai suddenly asked.
"How do you know?" I was surprised. I didn't tell Xiaobai where the landlord lived before.
Xiaobai's face looked ugly, and he suddenly pulled me and said, "I think it's better that we don't go!"
I don’t think Xiaobai was joking, but why did he suddenly retreat? Did Xiaobai see something?
"Come here, aren't you the old blind man's apprentice? Why did a little kid scare you like this?" I said with disdain.
But Xiaobai was not angry. Instead, he shook his head and said to me nervously: "It's not a kid, it's an evil ghost! Look!"
Xiao Bai suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed at the roof with a horrified expression. I thought to myself, you are still the old blind man's apprentice. You were so frightened before you even entered the door. If the old blind man knew that his apprentice was so unsatisfactory, he would be furious to death.
, I looked in the direction of Xiaobai's fingers, but I didn't see anything unusual. Instead, I saw that this guy's hands were very delicate. The five fingers were slender and long, especially the middle finger, which was half as long as the index finger and ring finger.
I said a little impatiently: "If you are afraid, just tell me clearly and I will go in by myself!"
Xiaobai glared at me: "You look down on people, don't you? Take a closer look, what's the difference between this building and other buildings?"
I looked at it and still didn't find anything different, but when I saw Xiaobai's serious look on his face, it didn't look like he was joking, so I was a little confused.
"One is on the fourth floor, and the other is on the fifth floor?"
Xiaobai glared at me with a lifeless look, then pointed to the sky and said: "Look at the top of the building, there are a lot of black sticks!"
I took a closer look, and sure enough, as Xiaobai said, I could vaguely see dozens of black sticks standing there on the top of the building, but I still didn't understand.
Xiaobai asked me, what is that black stick?
I shook my head and said, how could I know.
I vaguely saw my dozen or so black sticks moving and then bending into a weird arc.
Xiaobai said to himself on the side: "This evil spirit is not low-level. He can actually attract all the nearby Yin spirits!"
Xiaobai's nonsense words made me even more confused.
"What Yin spirit?"
Xiaobai pulled me aside and said to me in a low voice: "Those black sticks you saw are actually the tails of black cats. Black cats are born with ghost spirits and can see ghosts, so they all gathered on the roof.
That’s why I said there must be evil spirits at the bottom of such a building!”
At this time, I suddenly saw a black cat suddenly jump on the steps of the roof, exposing its whole body, two green eyes, staring at me, the eyes seemed to regard me as prey, and then there were a few more
It was called out, and its eyes were the same as the first one. After a while, dozens of black cats gathered on the roof.
"Are all the black cats around here coming here?" I was a little worried. Fortunately, Xiaobai had sharp eyes just now, otherwise I wouldn't have noticed this.
"Shall we go in?" I was hesitant at this moment.
Xiaobai's face looked ugly.
"I guess it's difficult for me to conquer this evil spirit with my Taoist behavior!"
I moved my gaze to the landlord's window, and happened to see Song Ying standing in the window, looking downstairs with an indifferent expression. Song Ying's eyes were glowing green, just like the eyes of the black cat on the roof. I was frightened.
After a jump, I looked again and found that Song Ying had disappeared.
"The landlord has helped me. I can't just ignore it. I have to go and have a look no matter what. I don't believe that evil spirit can eat me in broad daylight!" I said.
Xiaobai gritted his teeth and nodded: "Okay, that's interesting. I'll go with you! Although this evil spirit is not bad, it can't scare me away so easily. I will accompany you for a while!"
Xiaobai and I were walking towards the corridor. I don’t know if it was a psychological effect or some other reason. The old lady sitting at the top of the stairs basking in the sun seemed to be looking at us with a kind of pity. Her cloudy eyes kept watching us.
The two went up the stairs.
My neck also turned weirdly at 90 degrees. I was alert and hurriedly grabbed Xiaobai and pointed at the old lady at the top of the stairs. That kind of movement where the body does not move and the neck can rotate freely is really something a human can do.
Came out?
"What are you doing?" Xiaobai was also made a little nervous by me.
"Look at that old lady!" I didn't dare to look at the old lady, so I lowered my head and whispered to Xiaobai.
