Seeing this, Mo Lin already had an idea in mind and said to Bai Hongyi: "Can you think of a way to rent me the rooftop and utility room on the roof of that building for a few days."
Bai Hongyi looked in the direction Mo Lin pointed at. It was just an ordinary residential building, and said: "This is no problem, I'll take care of it, but why do you want to rent a rooftop? I can get you a house there." .”
"Housing is a trivial matter, and convenience is the key to what I do." Molin explained: "The rooftop is large, and you can directly see the panoramic view of the villa through the telescope. The most important thing is that it is close. If something happens, I can come to the rescue at any time.”
"Then how long will you rent it for?"
Mo Lin thought for a while and said: "As long as Bai Baocheng and Ding Fanglan pass the first seven days, they will be fine."
"Also, you can find an opportunity later and throw these two paper figures into the coffin of your second uncle and second mother. Through these two paper figures, I can sense the movement in the coffin."
Mo Lin handed two yellow paper figures to Bai Hongyi. Bai Hongyi nodded, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you so much, brother Mo Lin. No matter what the outcome is, I recognize you as a brother. If you can get my place in the future, please don't be polite." "
"You're welcome, Mr. Bai." Mo Lin said calmly.
"Oh, we are all brothers and we call them Mr. Bai." Ye Xiaoyue, who had been silent all this time, couldn't help but complain.
"Haha, Xiao Yue is right. I actually don't like people calling me Mr. Bai. It's just the rules in our circle." Bai Hongyi said: "Xiao Yue also calls me Mr. Bai on important occasions and in private. My sworn brother’s.”
"I'm not much older than you. From now on, we will be equals. Just call me by my name."
Mo Lin nodded slightly, and had to say that the tutors from the big family were good. Bai Hongyi was so young, he was neither humble nor overbearing, upright and generous, and he treated others well, leaving nothing to say. More importantly, he was good at accepting new things. In the future, the Bai family would have He will certainly not decline.
The next thing went much smoother. Renting a house was no problem for Bai Hongyi. He directly ordered his servants to do it. In the afternoon of that day, Mo Lin moved to the rooftop. Not only that, Bai Hongyi also helped him get an extra house. The apartment was on the top floor, which was convenient for Mo Lin to rest. As for the other task given to Bai Hongyi, it was not particularly difficult. Bai Hongyi found a time when no one was around and put the two paper figures into the coffin.
After Bai Hongyi finished these things, he didn't leave in a hurry. He stood alone at the door smoking.
"Cousin, are you in a bad mood?"
At this time, a familiar voice came from behind Bai Hongyi. He turned around and saw that it was Bai Zhihui.
Bai Hongyi shook his head and said: "It's nothing, it's just that the smell of incense inside is too strong, come out and take a breath."
"Didn't my cousin lie to me?" Bai Zhihui said with a smile: "I remember that my cousin rarely smokes. If he didn't encounter something particularly disturbing, I probably wouldn't smoke alone here."
"My cousin really understands me." Bai Hongyi smiled, put out the cigarette butt and threw it into the trash can nearby.
"Cousin, do you also think that the death of the second uncle and the second mother is a bit strange?" Bai Zhihui looked at Bai Hongyi and said.
Bai Hongyi nodded and asked: "Xiaohui, what do you think of this matter?"
Bai Zhihui took off a string of Buddhist beads from his wrist, handed it to Bai Hongyi, and said, "This is a string of Buddhist beads that my grandma gave me before she died. It is said that it was consecrated by a certain master in the temple. Grandma told me to wear it at all times." Wearing it is said to ward off evil spirits."
Bai Hongyi looked at the string of Buddhist beads and continued to ask: "So you have been wearing this string of Buddhist beads. Do you believe that this thing can ward off evil spirits?"
Bai Zhihui shook his head and said, "I have never believed this. But on the day my second uncle's accident happened, I clearly saw someone when I went upstairs to arrest the murderer. And when I stood at the window, I felt someone push me from behind for a moment. For a moment, I almost fell."
"Cousin, look at this Buddhist bead."
Bai Zhihui pointed to a cracked Buddha bead and said: "These beads are made of sandalwood. There are twelve beads in total. I have always kept them very well, but one of them broke for no reason the night when my second uncle had an accident. I think this Everything is weird, should we tell the uncle..."
"Don't tell him!" Bai Hongyi interrupted Bai Zhihui.
He said in a negative tone: "Your uncle won't believe what we are saying. I know him too well. I have already made arrangements for this matter. Don't worry."
"Also, don't tell anyone about our conversation today, do you understand?"
"Ming... understand."
Seeing his cousin's serious look, Bai Zhihui couldn't ask any more questions, so he had to agree.
Suddenly, a breeze blew by, and both of them felt a bit chilly. Bai Hongyi raised his head and looked at the gloomy sky. Although Mo Lin said that it was all about him, Bai Hongyi was still a little worried about Zhongzhong.
...
At this time, it was approaching dusk and it was time to finish eating.
Mo Lin was preparing to make instant noodles when suddenly he heard a rapid sound of wind chimes coming from the rooftop.
He hurriedly put down the instant noodles, walked out of the house, and came to the altar he had set up on the rooftop. When he saw the soul-calling bell on the flagpole ringing strangely, he knew something was wrong.
There were two straw men on the table, with the birth dates of Bai Baocheng and Ding Fanglan on them respectively. Mo Lin picked up the two straw men respectively, and after feeling them, he stared at Bai Baocheng's straw man.
"I didn't expect it would come so quickly, before it was completely dark, and I would be so impatient to kill my relatives," Mo Lin said to himself.
At this time, Bai Zongming, Bai Hongyi, Bai Zhihui, and some direct members of the Bai family were receiving several guests. They were all families who had heard of Bai Baocheng's sudden death and were usually close to the Bai family.
"Master Bai, I'm sorry, I can't come to tomorrow's memorial service, because there is a project tomorrow that is too important to our family." A middle-aged man about the same age as Bai Zongming said: "I am here to apologize to you. "
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. Didn't you come today? Whatever you want will be done." Bai Zongming said lightly.
"Thank you very much for your understanding, Mr. Bai. I will place an incense stick for Mr. Bai to show my respect for Mr. Bai."
Bai Zongming nodded and signaled the housekeeper to light incense for the man. The housekeeper lit three sticks of incense and handed it to the man. Just when he was about to light incense, all the lights in the entire villa suddenly lit up. Went out.
"Ah, what's going on?"
"Why is there a power outage? The property management company didn't say there would be a power outage today!" Bai Zongming said doubtfully.
Before Bai Zongming could say anything, the housekeeper said, "Master, I'll go to the property to ask."
When the housekeeper was about to leave, he felt a chill on his neck. When he lowered his head, he saw a pale hand with sharp brown nails squeezing his neck. As long as the hand exerted a little force, the nails would dig into his throat. . .
"who!"
The housekeeper hurriedly broke free. As soon as he turned around, his expression suddenly changed. Standing behind him, the person who just strangled his neck with his hands was actually Bai Baocheng, who had been dead for several days!
Bai Baocheng's face was ferocious, and his body couldn't move for some reason. If it weren't for this reason, the housekeeper would have died long ago. Although there was no light at this time, everyone present noticed that there was an extra figure.
Bai Zongming's face changed drastically after he took a closer look, and he exclaimed: "Second brother, haven't you already..."
Before he finished speaking, Bai Baocheng, who had turned into a fierce ghost, seemed to have broken free from some kind of restraint and rushed towards Bai Zongming with all his strength. Bai Zongming did not react for a moment and was knocked down by him.
A sneer appeared on Bai Baocheng's cold face, and he slowly opened his mouth, about to suck out Bai Zongming's soul. At this moment, a strong figure rushed in and kicked Bai Baocheng away.
This person was Mo Lin. Originally, he didn't plan to show up and have a head-on conflict with Bai Baocheng. He wanted to set up a Taoist altar not far from here and start an altar to help the Bai family, but he didn't want to have the ability in this area. Xuejiajia can't deal with Bai Baocheng at all.
This is why the image of Bai Bao was bound by some kind of power before. The Taoist method of opening an altar only requires the person's birth date and horoscope to cast spells from a distance, which can be used to cure evil spirits and kill people invisible. .
At this time, everyone else present was scared away by Bai Baocheng's scary appearance. Bai Hongyi hurriedly ran to Bai Zongming, helped him up, and asked with concern: "Dad, are you okay?"
"I'm fine." Bai Zongming stood up and looked
Mo Lin, who was fighting with Bai Baocheng over there, asked, "Isn't he a poor student supported by your second uncle? Why..."
"His name is Mo Lin. He is a friend I made recently. He knows some occult arts." Now Bai Hongyi has no need to hide anything. The facts are in front of him. He believes that no matter how stubborn Bai Zongming is, he has to believe this. There really are ghosts in the world.
At this time, Mo Lin had the upper hand. Bai Baozheng was an ordinary ghost, so there was no way he could be Mo Lin's opponent.
Mo Lin saw the right moment and hit Bai Baocheng's chest with a soul-suppressing talisman, completely blocking his magic power. He quickly took out a small gourd engraved with runes that he had prepared in advance and shouted: "Take it!"
After doing this, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief. It didn't take long for Bai Baocheng to become a ghost, and it is not difficult to conquer him.
Mo Lin looked at Bai Zongming and Bai Hongyi not far away, stepped forward and asked, "Are you two okay?"
"No...we're fine." Bai Zongming took a deep breath, as if he hadn't recovered from what happened just now.
"Master Bai, please take a good rest today. If there is anything else, we can talk about it another day." Mo Lin said with his hand in hand.
"Easy to say, easy to say." Bai Zongming said to Bai Hongyi, "I'm fine. Go and see your friend off."
Bai Hongyi nodded, knowing that his father needed to be alone now.
"I'm sorry, what happened today was my mistake."
After walking out of the gate and into the yard, Mo Lin said sheepishly: "I originally wanted to start a practice, but I didn't expect that I had not mastered this skill and almost had an accident."
