My heart was beating wildly. I really couldn't believe that what I saw was real.
Gu Yuxin, I saw her last time, and we talked a lot. How could she suddenly turn into a ghost?
"Zhao Dongfang, what's wrong with you?" Meng Shiyu asked me caringly, listening to my heavy breathing.
I took a few deep breaths and gradually calmed down. But looking at Meng Shiyu and Liu Qingsong, I didn't know what to say.
Finally I stood up and said to them, "I'll go out and take a look. I'll tell you the details later."
Before I finished speaking, I walked out of the room, leaving Meng Shiyu and Liu Qingsong staring at each other.
At this time, Liu Qingsong's luxurious villa is like a cage. If I continue to stay in it, it will only make me suffocate.
After walking outside and feeling the bright sunshine, my mood gradually improved.
I began to think carefully about this series of events. The last time I went to Huaru to catch ghosts, I met Gu Yuxin for the first time. I had not seen Gu Yuxin for many years. At that time, I was extremely excited and we talked a lot.
Yes, but Gu Yuxin always gave me a very strange feeling at that time.
The second time I met Gu Yuxin was when Sanlong Taoist Master Wu Chenya and I were hunting ghosts at home. I went to chase another ghost alone, but I met Gu Yuxin on the street.
Later, Taoist Master Sanlong criticized me, saying that Gu Yuxin might be the ghost I wanted to chase, but I let her go easily. However, at that time, I scorned Taoist Sanlong's view.
Suddenly my body felt violently. The last time I met Gu Yuxin while hunting ghosts, and now again, I didn't dare to continue thinking about it. I was afraid that what I was worried about would eventually come true.
Just when I was in a state of confusion, my cell phone rang. I took it out and saw that it was Loach calling.
With a feeling of apprehension, I answered the call from Loach.
"Hey, Dongfang, where are you now?" came Loach's carefree voice on the other end of the phone.
"I'm at Meng Shiyu's house. Something strange happened at his neighbor's house. He asked me to help deal with it." I replied.
"That's amazing, my brother!" Loach said exaggeratedly, "You also said that there is nothing between you and Meng Shiyu, but this has reached the point where you are meeting your parents!"
Because of Gu Yuxin's incident, I feel very heavy right now, and I really don't have the heart to joke around with Loach.
Loach also noticed that something was wrong with my mood, so he asked aloud, "Dongfang, what's going on?"
I thought Ni Loach also knew Gu Yuxin, maybe he could give me some advice! So I told Ni Loach about Gu Yuxin.
After hearing this, Loach said in surprise, "Is what you said true?"
I sighed and replied helplessly, "Can I still joke with you about this kind of thing?"
Then I changed the topic, "Loach, you also know Gu Yuxin. Come over quickly. Maybe you can give me some ideas."
Loach hesitated for a moment, then said, "Okay, I'll be there right away."
Then after I told him the location of Liu Qingsong's villa, I hung up the phone.
Thinking that the loach was coming soon, I gradually felt relieved.
And just when I was about to enter the house, Meng Shiyu and Liu Qingsong happened to come out of the house.
"Zhao Dongfang, are you okay?" Meng Shiyu asked me.
"It's okay!" I waved my hand and asked Liu Qingsong, "Mr. Liu, I think it's almost 12 o'clock at noon. Is Cinnabar ready?"
"Don't worry about this, I've already had people prepare it." Liu Qingsong said with a smile, "As soon as twelve o'clock comes, I will have people smear cinnabar on the soul-calling willow."
However, Liu Qingsong seemed to still not believe what I said. He asked again, "Master Zhao, is it true that as long as you apply cinnabar on the Soul-Calling Willow, nothing will happen?"
"No." I replied with some regret, "Smearing cinnabar on the soul-calling willow will only turn the soul-calling willow back into an ordinary willow tree so that it can no longer attract souls, but the ghosts that have been summoned cannot be sent away."
"Then... what should we do?" Liu Qingsong's face changed.
I reassured him, "Don't worry too much. Isn't the purpose of my coming here just to help you exorcise ghosts?"
After hearing what I said, Liu Qingsong's complexion slowly returned to normal.
But in fact, in order not to worry Liu Qingsong too much, I didn't say a word. I was only half-experienced in catching ghosts.
At twelve o'clock, Liu Qingsong asked someone to smear cinnabar on the soul-calling willow in front of the door.
Because this was just a very simple thing, I didn't participate in it, I just watched from the sidelines.
Seeing that all the soul-seeking willows had been smeared, I was completely relieved.
After finishing this, Liu Qingsong said it was already twelve o'clock and would leave us here to eat.
I have nowhere to go, so I must stay here, but I don’t know whether Meng Shiyu will go back to her own home or stay to have dinner with us.
Looking at my confused expression, Meng Shiyu said with a smile, "Since this place is so lively, I will stay and eat with you, and let my dad stay home alone!"
Liu Qingsong laughed loudly and seemed very happy. It was just a matter of multiple pairs of chopsticks for more people.
Just when everything was ready and we were about to eat, my cell phone rang again. At first I thought it was Loach, but when I took out my cell phone, it was Hua Ru.
I didn't hesitate and answered the call.
"Is it Dongfang?" Hua Ru's voice was as soul-stirring as ever, soft and crisp, and it felt like her bones were about to melt.
And I don’t remember that our relationship was so good that she could just call me “Dongfang”.
I said calmly, "Sister Hua Ru, what do you have to do with me?"
Women like Hua Ru are simply monsters who can kill people. I am just an innocent little virgin, so it is best to stay away from her.
"Haha... Little Brother Dongfang, you are so noble and forgetful! Didn't we agree last time that you would come over again to help me get rid of the green bamboo burial coffin? I have been waiting for you.
It's been a few days, why haven't I seen you yet? People are getting anxious waiting for you."
Hua Ru's words, "People are so anxious to wait," made me tremble when I heard it. It's really easy for people to think about it.
Of course I have not forgotten this matter, but if I want to save the innocent souls buried in Qingzhu's coffin, I need to choose a suitable day. I have already told Hua Ru about this, but I didn't expect that she can't wait any longer.
"I have already calculated the days. The day after tomorrow is the most suitable day to save the souls in the Qingzhu burial coffin. I will go there and deal with it that day."
When I said these words, I deliberately prolonged my tone and lowered my voice to make myself look more majestic.
