In Guo Ziping's secret room, I once again saw the painting of the lady that I had buried behind the City God's Temple.
It came back on its own.
This strange situation is beyond my understanding.
If we don’t completely get rid of the evil spirit in this lady’s picture, I’m afraid Uncle Huzi and I will not be able to escape.
But I soon made a new discovery in the painting of ladies. This painting of ladies was painted by a Taoist named Pingyuan more than a hundred years ago.
I heard Master say before that the evil spirit like Charming Spirit cannot be killed since it neither lives nor dies. There is only one way to deal with her, and that is to seal it.
Seal it again into the picture of the lady.
If you want to seal the enchantment, you can only find the place where she formed the enchantment.
One thing I can be sure of is that the enchantment must have been a living person before it became a phantom. Due to various unknown reasons, it turned into a phantom.
Master Pingyuan, who painted this painting, must know the origin of this enchanting spirit.
As long as we take this painting and find the place where the phantom first appeared, we can completely seal it, and then the three of us will no longer be entangled by the phantom.
So, I asked Guo Ziping to call the person who originally sold him the painting and ask where it came from.
Guo Ziping knew that this matter was no small matter, so he quickly called the person who sold him the painting.
But I made several calls and no one answered.
Now Guo Ziping was a little panicked: "Li Ji didn't answer my call. He must be worried that I would cause trouble for him, but it doesn't matter. I know where his store is. Let's go to his store to find him now. Let's see. I won’t destroy his store.”
"Mr. Guo, don't get excited, let's find someone first and then talk." I said.
At that moment, I put away the picture of the lady, reinstalled it, and took it out of the secret room.
Over there, Guo Ziping called angrily, not knowing who he was calling.
As soon as we left the secret room, Guo Xiaotong came over. Seeing Guo Ziping's very angry look, he walked over and said, "Dad, who provoked you? Why are you so angry?"
"It's okay, Master Wu and I will go out and we'll be back soon. You wait at home." Guo Ziping said.
"What are you going to do? I want to go with you," Guo Xiaotong said.
"You kid, don't get involved in adult matters." Guo Ziping said displeased.
"Dad, I'm not young anymore." Guo Xiaotong hugged Guo Ziping's arm and said coquettishly.
I don't care about that much at the moment. It's important to find the guy named Li Ji first.
Next, a group of us went out the door.
Guo Xiaotong drove Uncle Hu Zi and me in his car.
Guo Ziping has a special driver who leads us from the front.
Before getting in the car, Guo Ziping said that Li Ji has a shop in Yanbei City Antique Market. Since he doesn't answer the phone, we will go to the store to find him.
Dozens of minutes later, the car drove to Yanbei Antique Market.
This is a street. This street is antique and full of antique buildings.
On both sides of this street, there are many stalls selling antiques, but most of them are imitations and few are genuine. If you want to buy the real thing, you have to rely on your eyesight.
There are also many shops on both sides of this street, selling more real things. Li Ji's shop is on this street.
When we arrived at the door of Li Ji's shop, I found that someone was already waiting here.
These were a dozen burly men in black suits.
As soon as Guo Ziping got out of the car, the pedestrians gathered around him and shouted "Mr. Guo" in unison.
Guo Ziping is also a wealthy businessman in Yanbei City. He is rich and powerful. The painting Li Ji sold to him almost killed him. Now he is completely angry. He must deal with this guy. .
I didn't say much about this matter.
I just took a look at Li Ji's antique store, but found that the door of the antique store was closed and there seemed to be no one there.
Guo Ziping soon noticed it, glanced at the black suits around him and said, "What's going on?"
"Mr. Guo, when we arrived, we found that the store was closed. We also asked people nearby. Those people said that the store has been closed for almost half a month."
Guo Ziping was furious and immediately stopped.
I walked to the antique store and took a look, and saw a piece of paper taped to the door, which said the store was being transferred, and also left a phone number.
"Does this phone number belong to Mr. Li?" I asked Guo Ziping, pointing to the piece of paper.
Guo Ziping took a look, took out his phone and compared it, shook his head and said, "No."
"Call me and ask what's going on. Don't say you're looking for Li Ji, just say you want to rent his shop." I said.
Guo Ziping was about to dial the number. I waved my hand and suddenly thought of something. I used my mobile phone to make a call. I was afraid that the other party would see that it was Guo Ziping's phone number and not answer the call at all.
Actually, I also find this a bit strange. Li Ji didn't even close the store because of this matter, right?
Could it be that this was a special set up for Guo Ziping, and he was tricked and left immediately?
The phone rang a few times and was quickly connected. A feeble voice came from the other side: "Hey, who are you looking for?"
"Is your store for rent? I want to rent your store. I don't know how much it will cost?" I said very politely.
"You want to rent a store? Are you interested?" asked the other person.
"Well, I like it. As long as the price is right, I will pay the rent for one year immediately. I am also in the antique business." I said.
"Okay, let's find a place to talk. The price can be easily negotiated." The man said lazily, as if he hadn't woken up.
"Okay, how about we arrange a place to talk now? I'm quite anxious." I said.
"Okay, you can come to Fuyuan Teahouse on Yanshan North Road. It's near my home. I'll wait for you here." The man said and hung up the phone.
I nodded to Guo Ziping and said, "It was a young man who picked it up, probably not Li Ji."
"Don't worry about who it is. If you find this person, you can find Li Ji. Let's go now." Guo Ziping waved his hand, and the people around him immediately got into the car.
Guo Xiaotong took Uncle Hu Zi and me straight to the Fuyuan Teahouse on Yanshan North Road.
Half an hour later, I arrived at Fuyuan Teahouse, took out my cell phone, and dialed the man.
"Here you are, over at table nine." The man said.
I glanced around the teahouse and soon saw someone waving in my direction, so I took Uncle Huzi over.
As I got closer, I looked at the person in front of me and saw that something was not quite right.
This man was in his mid-twenties, with heavy dark circles under his eyes, a sallow complexion, and was skinny and skinny. He looked like he hadn't slept for several days.
