"Okay, I'm tired and need to rest. Where can I sleep tonight?" I said, reaching out to beckon the little devil.
The little devil was still holding a can of orange juice and Coke and was happily drinking it. Seeing that I was about to sleep, he wrinkled his nose and immediately showed his fangs, which scared me to the core. This was a tiger.
Exorcising ghosts is tantamount to exorcising tigers and devouring wolves. If you don't raise them well, it will backfire.
But I have been introverted since I was a child. Although I was scared, my face remained expressionless, and I frowned when she didn't come.
When the little devil saw that I was unhappy, he calmed down and walked towards me slowly with a Coke can in his arms. This kind of walking three-quarters off the ground made people feel very scary, especially the one wearing red clothes and black eyes. , the protruding veins on the face are beyond what human senses can bear.
She hugged my neck obediently, and I turned my head and looked at Zhao Qian. Who would have thought that Zhao Qian had been so frightened that she froze in place, holding her heart and breathing heavily, unable to speak. If I don’t come out, I’m afraid I would have fled for my life long ago without me here.
"The room... over there... I'm going to clean it up for you..." Zhao Qian stood up mechanically, passed by Little Li Gui, and almost trotted to the room on the first floor.
I followed her and walked in.
This place is very luxuriously decorated, with computers and TVs as standard equipment. There are even many books on the bookshelves. I glanced at them and saw that they were all books on three religions, but many were about Taoism, Confucianism, and almost none about Buddhism. .
"Is this your study room?" I asked.
"Well, I specially customized the upstairs to have only one bedroom and guest room. The guest room was given to Xiaoxue, and the rest of the place became my little dojo. So in addition to the big living room on the first floor, there is only the study room. I feel sorry for you. Just get off, if you don't like it, I'll sleep in the study, and you... you can sleep in my bedroom." Zhao Qian said embarrassedly.
Zhao Qian's study is quite large, dozens of square meters, and even has a large bed for lunch breaks, so it can be considered a multi-functional bedroom, and is actually more luxurious than the guest room.
"It doesn't matter. Forget about your girl's room, just here. Can I use this computer?" I asked politely. With a computer, I can check the latest news and various information. Information is essential.
"Yes, but you can't delete the photos and some of my work information above." Zhao Qian said carefully.
"Well, that's no problem. I'm not interested in those. I just use search engines occasionally." I explained.
When I observed the surrounding environment, Zhao Qian bent down to make the bed. She had already changed into casual clothes upstairs just now. Her loose white shirt and blue pleated skirt made people's eyes bright.
After taking a closer look, she is indeed very proud of her figure, and her ass is also very fleshy. No wonder if her brother hadn't picked her up today, she almost wouldn't have escaped. Now that I take a closer look, I can see that she is really Dry mouth.
Although I am a womanizer, I am not a pervert, so I stopped my jealousy immediately. Besides, I am also a little afraid that my sister-in-law will be jealous. If I let her get angry, I will not be able to sleep that night. I have wanted to do it many times in the past. When I get close to other women, they give her a lot of trouble. In the end, they say that I am a sinister and evil person.
There is nothing to tidy up in the study, it’s just a bit messy and it will be nice to tidy it up.
"Okay, it's a bit late. You should go to bed first. We will go out early tomorrow morning." Zhao Qian's natural movements have a quiet temperament that only ladies can have. She is about the same age as me, and it really makes men's hearts flutter.
"You go to bed early too and don't oversleep tomorrow." I teased her with a smile.
Zhao Qian rolled her eyes at me angrily, and then smiled: "Well, okay, you too."
I watched her go out, locked the door, and then opened my grandma's suitcase.
There weren't many things in the box. They were some brand-new fabrics given to grandma by others. Inside, there was a "Primary School Student Workbook" with a cover printed in traditional Chinese carefully wrapped, as well as some empty jars and jars, which were densely packed with stuff. After carving out some incantations, I felt that it was much more advanced than Xiao Ligui's soul urn, and I couldn't help but think that it might be something my grandma had used.
Little Li Gui stood next to me. When he saw me taking out one of the soul urns with a small hole in it, he stretched out his hands and held the empty urn in his arms. He kept stroking it with a sad expression.
I think the ghost who once lived in the empty soul urn may be a very important partner of the little devil, otherwise the little devil wouldn't have this expression.
Then I found another cracked soul urn in another package. Although seal script was used to carve this soul urn, the degree of damage was even more astonishing, and the prototype could hardly be maintained.
When the little ghost saw this jar, he started crying. I had already guessed that this box was the box that grandma took out of Xiaoyi Village to find someone to settle accounts with, and the soul jar inside should be the real soul that grandma raised closely. What a ghost.
Turning to the back, there were some fragments of the soul urn wrapped in big red cloth. These fragments were broken violently, as if someone had dropped it on the ground, and even their shape was gone.
I could imagine the brutality of this battle, and even the spectacular scene of grandma waving her hands and shouting, the fierce ghosts swarming, and hundreds of ghosts marching day by day. I took out the simple soul jar of the little ghost from my trouser pocket. Comparing it, my heart was filled with excitement. Back.
If we want to talk about the sophistication of the soul urn, this soul urn is not at the same level as the previous ones that were broken. One could be at the level of a kid or the other at the level of a ghost king.
Grandma brought some powerful ghosts with her, and she was reluctant to take the little ghost with her. Maybe she already knew that this trip would never come back.
The dark wind behind me blew up inexplicably, and I knew that the Ninth Princess was also angry.
Little Li Gui's pale hands kept rubbing on the fragments, his mouth was pursed, tears fell like beads, and he was choking silently. It seemed that each of the ruined soul jars had gone through a cruel process. The war caused the ghosts raised inside to disappear and the soul jar to burst.
And the relationship between the little devil ghost and these devil ghosts is probably not just between friends, but also between masters, apprentices, and parents.
I stretched out my hands and gently hugged the little devil in my arms: "We will avenge this revenge. We will avenge them how they came about. Let's send them to hell together!"
Little Li Gui hugged me aggrievedly and started to cry loudly. Perhaps this was the first real heart-to-heart talk between her and me.
After appeasing the little devil, I picked up my grandma’s yellowed elementary school homework book and read a few pages. I found that this book was actually my grandma’s life notes. Each record contained the things she had experienced. .
It begins with my grandmother inheriting the Taoist tradition and ends with her return to Xiaoyi Village on the last page.
After calculating my grandma’s age, I found that there are quite a lot of resumes in the front, and most of them were taken up before the age of thirty. I didn’t take a closer look, but because I was involved in some of the latter, I read it carefully. Apart from the scrawled handwriting, , the things written are also very simple.
Just like the section about the Nine Princesses recorded at the back: Inherited by the Taoist sect, the Nine Daughters of Heaven reincarnated their souls into the world, rescued people from danger and died, and all the people, clothed in blood, both gods and ghosts, prayed for each other in every possible way, and married my grandson. I am so lucky. .
This paragraph shows grandma's happiness, but it is just a reference to the continuation, because there is another paragraph before her when she was in her twenties: The inheritance of Taoism, the Nine Daughters of Heaven, ever since she got it, her every request has been unanswered, and she doesn't know why. , oh so sad.
It shows that the Ninth Princess is very arrogant. The way of raising ghosts started from the Daozong generation, and the Ninth Princess has actually been passed down. She is not only a god but also a ghost, immortal, and seems to be very powerful, but her achievements have been recorded for several generations. There are almost no records, and it seems that it is very difficult to invite the ninth princess. When she was young, my grandmother tried to invite the ninth princess, but failed.
Until I finally agreed to my request and married me as a child bride, I guess my grandma couldn’t figure out this reason.
However, the diary also records that after grandma made her debut, she went to a place filled with yin and resentment, and went through great hardships to subdue and raise evil ghosts. Later, there were also some incidents where she performed chivalrous acts with a ghost face.
Thinking of ghost faces, I opened my suitcase and found a ghost face. This ghost face could cover most of the face, leaving only the right side of the face empty. It looked like the marks were cracked. Once grandma encounters a duel, or she doesn't want to Wherever the identity is revealed, the ghost face will probably be worn. It looks sinister and is something only a villain would wear. No wonder others call grandma 'Old Demon Zhou'. After wearing it, it is probably impossible to tell the difference between men and women.
The patterns painted on the mask are simple and clear, and extremely ferocious. It seems to be from the pre-Qin period. There are many irregular scratches on it. It should still be an antique. But in today's era, if you wear it, people will probably call you stupid. Take it. You can make a lot of money by going to the antique market.
Thinking about it, I put it back in the box. Although I wouldn't sell it, I didn't plan to take it with me. Then I continued to look for clues about the little devil in the primary school students' homework books.
It wasn't until I saw a section of my grandmother's middle-aged life that my fingers finally stopped: In the town of Yinfeng, a phoenix once came and hid the lonely lotus, making me beg for mercy. From then on, I would be lonely and alone for the rest of my life.
Little Li Gui also burst into laughter at this moment, as if it was about her.
Yinfeng Town...where is Yinfeng Town? This location isn't even on the map, is it?
After considering my grandma’s age at this time, I thought maybe this Yinfeng Town was a dead town, and wouldn’t that little Li Gui be a dead town?
"Are you from Yinfeng Town? That is, from Dead Town?" I asked.
The little devil nodded, but then shook his head.
"Youfeng came here, that means you were not from Yinfeng Town, but you died in Yinfeng Town? Then you were found by grandma and brought home?" I asked. In this way, Xiao Ligui is indeed grandma. The ghosts that were raised decades ago were not used for actual combat, but were brought home to accompany them for the rest of their lives because of loneliness. At that time, my grandmother was about to live in seclusion in Xiaoyitun, feeling lonely.
Little Li Gui nodded sharply this time, seemingly confirming what I said.
This also led me to various speculations about Xiao Ligui's life experience. Of course, if I wanted to get the information I really wanted, it would probably be after I learned ghost language. The most important step in the secret technique of raising ghosts is ghost language. practice.
After returning from Yinfeng Town, the number of things recorded in the diary became obviously much less, and the time gap became longer and longer. Most of them were after my grandmother found the abandoned Xiaoyitun, and there were people who came to her after going through all kinds of troubles to find her. Then because of his own reasons, he was willing to live in Xiaoyitun.
