I looked around the room: "Don't sleep in the first half of the night. After midnight, wash your hair with cold water."
Although Liu Hao looked puzzled, he still nodded vigorously.
Seeing him going upstairs, Ji Canghai leaned close to my ear again.
"You can teach me more."
I couldn't help but smile, he was really willing to learn his skills.
If any master accepts him, he will really find a treasure.
I looked upstairs and downstairs and whispered, "You are in the light, that thing is in the dark."
"We can't go looking for it foolishly, we have to learn how to fish."
"I understand, I understand."
At eight o'clock in the evening, Ji Canghai couldn't stop yawning.
I looked back at him, and the image of him being possessed suddenly appeared in my mind.
Damn, that was exciting.
"Brother."
I said almost pleadingly: "Put the kitchen knife in your arms before going to sleep. I'm really afraid of you!"
Ji Canghai laughed a few times: "Don't worry, don't worry."
In fact, the method I told Liu Hao was to see the devil.
I just want him to do the opposite and lure the things out of the house.
I know it won't be a peaceful night, and I won't sleep too well.
"Dang Dang Dang..."
At midnight, a melodious pendulum clock rang.
I was alert and immediately opened my eyes and sat up.
With the faint moonlight, I could barely see clearly the pendulum clock on the wall. The hour hand was pointing at twelve o'clock.
"wrong."
Ji Canghai woke up at some point and sat behind me and muttered something.
I patted my chest and looked at him: "Brother! You are scary, scary to death!"
He didn't think so and rubbed his eyes: "You are a Taoist priest, are you afraid?"
"Nonsense! I'm a human! Being a human makes me afraid!"
Ji Canghai laughed a few times: "Be careful next time."
"What you said just now is wrong, what's wrong?"
He immediately regained his composure and looked at the wall clock.
"This bell has never rang before, it only rang just now."
"And, instead of twelve rings, there were eleven."
His words made me fall into memories.
From the moment I walked in, I didn't even notice the clock on the wall, let alone listen to the bell.
"How can you count so clearly?"
Seeing my questioning, Ji Canghai smiled slightly proudly.
"You forget, I play in a cage and I am particularly sensitive to sounds like bells."
"I'm sure I heard you right."
Ji Canghai's determination made me feel more at ease.
"Zhuo La, Zhuo La..."
At this moment, footsteps suddenly sounded from the second floor.
The sound sounded like slippers scraping on the ground!
"coming!"
Ji Canghai immediately took out his kitchen knife, lay down on the stairs, and asked in a low voice.
"How about I go upstairs and take a look?"
I hesitated for a moment: "There's no rush."
The voice from upstairs was close to my ears. I analyzed it calmly and then said.
"You help me guard it."
After saying that, I moved a chair from the side and took off the wall clock directly.
There is a folk magic called death knell.
The bell will ring on time at midnight, and the sound will be 11 times.
Write down the number 11 and it will look like two stick-shaped things.
In Alchemy, this is called the Yin and Yang Road.
Many people deliberately avoid the 11th floor when buying a house, and this is the reason.
The structure of the wall clock is actually not complicated. You can see the internal structure by removing the outer shell.
The light was too dim, so I took out my flashlight and shined it inside, and I couldn't help but gasp.
Behind the clock, where the clock hammer should have been, was actually replaced by half a finger bone!
This bone is not big, and it should be a small finger by visual inspection.
The finger bones are thin and dark brown, and they seem to be playing like strings at the moment, playing with the bell strings.
This thing is different from the death knell I have seen, but it is definitely not a good thing!
In other words, it is very possible that these are different approaches but the same purpose.
"how is everything?"
Ji Canghai, holding a kitchen knife, lay on the stairs and asked nervously.
I looked down at the clock and said softly.
"I guess Liu Hao is checking the numbers now."
Jicanghai turned his head: "Ah? Check the numbers?"
"Yes, the check should be 9, or 7."
"What the hell? Are you so awesome?"
I took out the talisman from my backpack and held it in my hand.
"Go up and take a look first."
