I knocked on the door of the food stall loudly, and footsteps finally sounded inside.
The door opened, and Master Chen came out with a tired look on his face. He raised his eyebrows and said, "You're back? Okay, okay, just be safe."
I walked in quickly and looked him up and down: "Old Chen, thank you for last night. I just came back and heard from the client who lives in my place that there was a fight outside last night, which was quite fierce. I guessed it was you."
Master Chen closed the door. It was a little dark in the shop, so the two of us sat in the darkness. He threw me a cigarette.
"I was restless last night," Master Chen said. "I wandered around the alley. When I came to your place, I found the spell of the magic circle painted on the corner of the door. I understood it immediately. I dare you to let us in the alley The eyes of the magic circle are here with you, and someone wants to do it for you!"
I was smoking, my heart was racing, and I still don’t know who did this. It was really disturbing.
"Xiao Qin, have you offended some master?" he asked.
I was blowing out smoke rings and thinking about it in my mind. As for the person I had offended recently, the one who was most likely to do this could only be the gentle scum Qian Ze, Xiaoying's ex-boyfriend.
But I don't think this man who looks like an embroidered pillow is so capable of setting up such a magic circle.
Who is the one?
Master Chen continued to say that he discovered the formation eye and did not act rashly. He just sent me a message, but there was no reply.
In fact, at that time, I had already passed out and was on the death subway.
At night, a man came to my store, poured red paint on the store door, and then tried to pick the lock.
Hearing this, I felt chills all over, and I thought I should go back and quickly click the camera at the door. I never expected that something like this could happen.
It happened that Master Chen came over for inspection and found this scene and wanted to arrest him. This kid was naughty and would run away when he sensed something was wrong. Master Chen's skills allowed him to run away. He pinned him down on the ground three times, and when he was about to ask in detail, suddenly there was an evil wind behind him.
"Is there a sneak attack?" I asked nervously.
Master Chen nodded. At that time, I could only avoid it first, but when I let go, the kid who splashed paint lost his grip, got up and ran, and ran out of the alley in the blink of an eye.
Master Chen looked back and found that the person who attacked him was actually a girl.
"Girl?" I was surprised.
"Wearing a dark gray cotton-padded jacket." Master Chen said: "He is not very old, probably in his early twenties. He is wearing a mask and his eyes are narrowed into crescents. He looks like he is smiling, but his eyes are actually very cold."
When I heard this, I slapped my thigh and immediately knew who it was, it was Cinderella!
My heart was beating fast as I listened to Master Chen continue to speak.
Master Chen said that this girl was young but extremely agile and moved like a ghost. If he hadn't been wearing a thick cotton-padded jacket in winter, he might have been beaten to the ground.
Master Chen relied on his own strength and barely managed a tie with Cinderella. Seeing that he was a tough guy, Cinderella didn't want to fight, so she left after a gust of wind came and went.
I quickly said: "Master Chen, are you injured?"
Master Chen slowly showed his right arm. Three long blood marks appeared on his arm, as if he had been scratched by an animal.
"I didn't expect this girl's fingernails to be so sharp," Master Chen said: "My cotton-padded jacket was scratched to pieces, leaving three scars."
I felt very sad, so I stood up and bowed: "Master Chen, I'm really sorry for hurting you."
Master Chen waved his hand and said: "It has nothing to do with you. These monsters put the magic circle in our alley. If I don't know, that's fine. Since I know, I have the duty to protect the land. Xiao Qin, what's going on over there?"
I started when Cinderella came to the door and told me about the strange experience last night.
I knew that Master Chen was an expert, so I didn't hide any details, including the fact that I saw my father in the underworld, right up to my escape this morning.
After listening to this, Master Chen finished smoking half a pack of cigarettes, and the ashtray was full of cigarette butts.
"The one named Dashuo is probably..." He paused: "He is already dead."
"What? No way." I said in surprise.
Master Chen said: "Do you know what Hanlin Altar is?"
I shook my head.
After Wei Rongrong and I escaped from danger, the tunnel turned into a ruined temple, with the words "Han Lin Tan" written on it.
Master Chen said: "The so-called 'Hanlin Altar' is also called the Yin Temple. It is a place dedicated to saving ghosts and ghosts. The statues you see in the temple look like ferrymen pulling carts. That's right. Ferryman It is specially used to pull wild ghosts from the Yang world back to the underworld. In other words, the carriage on Dashuo is not returning to the Yang world, but coming from the Yang world and going to the underworld!"
I almost jumped up, my teeth chattering, "Master Chen, don't be ridiculous."
"How long has it been, and I'm still kidding you." Master Chen smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"But the idea of getting into the carriage to escape was my father's idea..."
Before I finished speaking, Master Chen interrupted: "Are you sure that that person is really your father?"
I was speechless for a moment.
It has been more than ten years since my father was kicked out of the house by his grandfather. I really can’t remember exactly what it was like. Besides, people will change a lot in ten years. But the man I met at the subway station had a very similar tone and feeling to my father.
The situation was critical at that time, with life and death on the line, and I never doubted my father's identity at all.
"I'm not sure." I shook my head bitterly.
Master Chen said: "No matter who he is, the idea of getting on the carriage is not to save you, but to harm you!"
My mind was buzzing with shock, and it felt like I was falling into an ice cave at this moment.
Master Chen said: "It's just that you are magnanimous and tolerant. By chance, Dashuo got on the carriage for you." He paused and said, "I became your scapegoat."
I can't listen to it anymore, I can't accept it at all. Dad actually wants to harm me? He wants to kill me?
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
