Master Que came to Jiang Shuo's door and banged on the door.
"Jiang! Come out! You promised well at the appointed time! Why don't you come?"
The room was quiet, no one answered.
"Jiang! You two brothers are so virtuous! Are you both born in the year of the tortoise?
"What's going on if you hide in the house and don't show up? Come out!"
Plop!
There was a sound of something falling to the floor in the room, but no one answered.
Master Que looked stunned.
Could it be that... he is sick?
No, he was fine yesterday, as strong as an ox?
"If you don't agree, I'll kick the door down!"
Que Ling has never been a good-tempered person.
She waited for a while, but still no one in the room responded.
"Okay! You're doing very well!"
Mr. Que snorted angrily, turned around and left.
After walking five steps away, she suddenly turned around, took two or three steps, then raised her foot and kicked him!
Bang!
The door frame shook a few times.
Fortunately, the door frame was strong, and the door latch inside the room snapped.
"Jiang Shuo?"
Master Que rushed into the room and saw Jiang Shuo lying on the table... asleep?
He was still holding a pen in his hand, as if he was about to write a letter.
"Hey, wake up!" Master Que patted his face.
Jiang Shuo didn't wake up, his eyes were closed, but his eyes were moving around.
"Hey? Are you pretending to sleep with me?" Master Que slapped him on the back of the head.
But Jiang Shuo was seen with smoke coming out of his body...
The smoke was mixed with a "roasted" smell.
Master Que was startled, "Am I so strong internally? Did I beat you to a blur?"
She turned around and went out to bring a bucket of water.
"If you keep pretending to be asleep or pretending to be a ghost, I will kill you!" Master Que threatened.
But Jiang Shuo's eyes were moving faster and faster, his body seemed to be on fire, and more and more smoke was coming out.
"Wow--"
Master Que poured a bucket of cold water on his head.
Jiang Shuo shuddered but did not wake up.
Not only did he not wake up, there was also a proud smile on his lips.
Mr. Que: "..."
Possessed?
"Quick, call for a doctor!" Master Que went out, grabbed an attendant, and asked someone to call for a doctor.
The doctor lived not far away, and Mr. Que gave him a lot of money for consultation, so he came quickly.
When the doctor came, Jiang Shuo was still lying on the table and smiling proudly.
His eyes moved quickly, but he couldn't wake up.
"You said he was pretending to sleep, right? I poured a bucket of cold water on him, but he didn't even open his eyes." Que Ye said to the doctor.
The doctor took his hand out and took his pulse. He opened his eyelids and took a look.
"Well..." The doctor touched his chin and frowned.
Master Que looked at him and said immediately, "What exactly is wrong? If it's just pretending, tell the truth. I'll pay you the consultation fee as usual!"
When the doctor heard this, he immediately said: "This is not a disease, it's a nightmare!"
"Ah? Trapped by a nightmare? Trapped by what?" Master Que traveled around the world when he was a child. Of course he had heard the legend of "people being possessed by a nightmare".
However, I have never seen it personally.
"It's hard to say. It might be a deceased person, or it might be an evil spirit..." the old doctor said, and hissed, "It's broad daylight, when Yang Qi is at its strongest, what kind of evil spirit can invade at this time? And he At this age, you are the most powerful, you shouldn’t, you shouldn’t…”
Master Que was confused.
The old doctor muttered to himself for a while, "Oh! I understand! He is controlled by his own inner demons!"
"What inner demon?" Master Que asked.
The old doctor shook his head and muttered, "Then you have to ask yourself."
"How can you ask if he is like this now?" Mr. Que glared.
"Are you someone close to him? Think about it, what is it that he has been worrying about and can't let go of... In addition, just scream for him and call Hun'er back." The old doctor said, " Hey, where can I get the medical fee?"
Master Que: "..."
She asked the servant to take the doctor to collect the consultation fee.
She held her chin and looked at the "evil" Jiang Shuo.
She suddenly glanced and saw several pieces of cut yellow paper scattered under Jiang Shuo's bed.
"Huh? Isn't this what Taoist priests use to draw talismans?"
Master Que dug out cinnabar ink from under his bed again, "He still uses this? Is it really the inner demon that makes him crazy?"
Master Que immediately called the boy to look at Jiang Shuo.
She went straight to the shipyard to find Wen Yuanjie.
"You come with me! Your brother is stunned!" Mr. Que found Wen Yuanjie and pulled him away.
Wen Yuanjie threw her away and said, "I'm busy!"
"He didn't show up at the appointed time! Don't wait until the deadline! I'm not always free to see him!"
Master Que said, "Did you not even see him for the last time?"
Wen Yuanjie was stunned when he heard this, "You crazy woman! What are you talking about?"
"The doctor said that he is possessed by inner demons. I can't wake him up. The doctor said that only the people and things he worries about can wake him up." Master Que said, "If you don't want to recognize him, at worst, you can't wake him up." If he wakes you up, leave again!”
Wen Yuanjie looked at Master Que blankly.
"You lied to me!"
Master Que shook his head, "I, Que Ling, do whatever I do, but I won't go so far as to deceive you with your brother's life."
Wen Yuanjie trembled violently, "His life?"
When we met in Kyoto, he was still very lively... Why did they part ways after only a few months?
He doesn't want to recognize Jiang Shuo. He likes the life where he is free and can make decisions by himself.
But he never thought... that he would be separated from Jiang Shuo by life and death so soon?
"You...you didn't lie to me?"
"Hey! Why are you complaining so much?" Mr. Que dragged him away, "Even if I lie to you, can I still kill you? Go and see me. If I lie to you, I will give you three moves! You can fight me as you please! "
"Three moves?" Wen Yuanjie repeated.
"Hey! I didn't lie to you!"
Master Que used both soft and hard tactics, and finally got Wen Yuanjie over.
When Wen Yuanjie arrived.
Jiang Shuo's body suddenly tilted... as if he had been hit by something heavy and fell to the ground.
He didn't open his eyes, but his expression was painful.
"What are you doing?!" He rushed up and grabbed the boy's collar.
This is his brother!
It doesn't matter how vindictive they are between brothers.
But if others bully his brother, he will still be the first to rush forward.
"No...I didn't touch him!" The boy raised his hands with an innocent look on his face.
"I told you, he was possessed." Mr. Que rescued the boy from Wen Yuanjie's hands.
"Brother! Brother, what's wrong with you? Brother, wake up!" Wen Yuanjie knelt down next to Jiang Shuo, his eyes red, and shouted loudly.
"Brother...Why is my brother so wet?"
"Ahem..." Master Que's eyes flashed, "Well... he was smoking just now. I thought he was on fire."
Wen Yuanjie moved his nose, "It's a bit mushy...Brother, what's wrong with you? Wake up! Open your eyes and look at me!"
"Brother... I am Xiao Yuan! I am Jiang Yuan! Wake up!
"If you wake up, I won't be angry with you! I...I will forgive you!"
"cough……"
Jiang Shuo, who was lying on the ground, coughed violently.
When he opened his mouth, burning smoke came out of his mouth.
"elder brother?"
"A word from a gentleman?" Jiang Shuo asked without opening his eyes, smoke coming from his mouth.
Wen Yuanjie sniffed, "Are you pretending? Are you guys working together to lie to me?"
