There was deathly silence in the room, except for the sound of the violent beating of the heart.
A ghostly face was sticking to the window and peering into the house.
Everyone was feeling cold, and it was difficult to contain the fear in their hearts.
"Click."
A switch clicked, and the hall suddenly became as bright as day.
The screams that were brewing on everyone's lips also shrank back at the same time.
What kind of grimace is this? It turns out to be a human face graffiti pasted on the window. The face in the painting is twisted and pointed, seven parts like a human and three parts like a fox. Boss Liu and others were already wary, and suddenly When I looked at it, I was naturally frightened.
"What idiot is posting things here? If I know who it is, I will tell him to get out immediately!" Boss Liu's face turned red and he almost screamed out of fright at the painting. Anyone would be a little embarrassed.
He cursed a few times, turned around and saw Taoist Su Xuan looking a little strange, and asked quickly: "Taoist Priest, what's wrong with this painting?"
"Oh... no." Taoist Su Xuan seemed to have just come to his senses and waved his hand quickly, "If you are upright, you are not afraid of external demons. I saw at a glance that it was just a painting. I wanted to remind you that this young man has already Turn on the lights."
As he said that, he looked over with a smile. It was Li Changan who turned on the light.
Only then did Boss Liu remember that he hadn't introduced Li Changan yet: "This is Mr. Li Changan. Although he is young, he has real abilities..."
The words got stuck at this point, and he couldn't say what he was really capable of. He only heard Liu Zhugan say that this man was still alive and kicking when he lived in a haunted house, but he had also been to the ghost house, and there was nothing else besides some talisman stickers everywhere. Weird place.
As he said this, he caught sight of the bodyguard still staring blankly at the painting from the corner of his eye. The anger that Boss Liu had just suppressed came to his head again. He had been embarrassed just now because of this blabbering bastard!
When he opened his mouth, he cursed:
"You can see how a hammer can bring that painting to life!"
"That painting is alive." Unexpectedly, the bodyguard stiffened his neck and turned his pale face, his lips trembling and opening and closing, "Its eyes can move!"
Boss Liu's heart suddenly jumped into his throat. He couldn't help but turn his head and look over, only to see the eyes of the portrait turn and meet his gaze.
"Su... Taoist Priest Suxuan."
Boss Liu called out with a pale face, but there was no response. He was so anxious that he immediately reached out and pulled his sleeves.
"Ah...oh." The Suxuan Taoist seemed to have remembered what he was here to do. He was running around in a hurry. He lost his previous calm and elegant demeanor. When he opened his mouth, his voice changed and he said: "Who is this evildoer..."
Okay, I have all the lines for the costume drama.
Li Changan glanced sideways, and the corners of the broad Taoist robe of Taoist Su Xuan trembled slightly. Come on, this guy is not trembling with fear.
Li Changan finally understood that Taoist Su Xuan was a pure magician with no magic power at all. Fortunately, he still wanted to meet the practitioners in this world. But it's normal to think about it. The spiritual energy here is so turbid and thin that it is difficult for demons and ghosts to take shape, let alone practitioners.
Watching Taoist Suxuan tremble and pretend to be pretentious. Li Changan shook his head, picked up half a brick from the ground, weighed it a few times, rounded it up and threw it towards the portrait.
"Bang!"
A big hole was suddenly smashed into the glass window, and at the same time a sharp cry like a baby's cry was heard, and a yellow shadow flashed past behind the painting.
Li Changan patted the dust on his hands. He didn't smell any ghost smell from beginning to end.
He withdrew his gaze, faced the surprised looks of others present, and said with a smile:
"Looks like a fox."
……………………
After some strange things happened, no one said it was all a mistake, but the atmosphere among the group finally became a little dull, and even the eyes looking at Su Xuan, the master and the apprentice, were filled with suspicion. If it weren't for Su Xuan With all the Taoist titles and reputation, Boss Liu probably had two bodyguards throw them out.
Perhaps in order to save the impression, Suxuan proactively suggested going to the second floor to investigate more carefully.
The second floor only had steel and concrete shelves, not even walls. The night wind came in from all directions, and there was a whining sound everywhere. As they walked, the moon was dark and cloudy, and there were only a few flashlights for illumination. Boss Liu and others felt a little nervous.
The Taoist priest Su Xuan exerted all his strength along the way, sometimes strolling and meditating, sometimes stopping to frown and watch, and he never heard of pinching his hands.
He stopped suddenly and called out to Boss Liu. Perhaps he had already thought of the lines to continue his deception, so he said in a very solemn tone: "Mr. Liu, I'm afraid the person causing trouble here is not a ghost!"
Boss Liu did not respond immediately, but looked at him suspiciously.
Suxuan was also thick-skinned and was not embarrassed at the moment. He continued to speak a long list of metaphysical terms that were incomprehensible. Looking at Boss Liu's face changing from suspicion to confusion, he concluded: "The evil spirit in this mountain is very strong. I just calculated and discovered that there is a monster lying in the mountain. You started construction this time and awakened it. You were there last time." The evil ghost you saw in this room was the ghost that appeared to warn you! "
As soon as he finished speaking, except for Su Xuan himself, everyone else's faces became extremely strange.
You said it was haunted and you could barely accept it, but now the yellow mouth and the white teeth say there are monsters? It's a bit too mysterious. Wasn't it forbidden to become a spirit after the founding of the People's Republic of China?
Su Xuan showed a complacent look and said calmly: "Have you forgotten the fox below? How can a normal animal hide behind a painting of a ghost face and peek at people? That fox is the eyes of the mountain monster!"
Thinking of the fox, the doubts on everyone's faces slowly faded away. That fox was really weird. If it was a monster, it would make sense.
Boss Liu struggled for a while, not knowing whether he should continue to trust this Taoist Su Xuan, and suddenly looked at Li Changan.
Li Changan didn't respond at all. He had agreed at the beginning that he would get the money regardless of whether it was a ghost or not. This is why Boss Liu temporarily invited Su Xuan to work, and Li Changan didn't pay much attention to it. Since he can paddle, why not do it?
Su Xuan noticed Boss Liu's cryptic movements, and moved his steps as if nothing had happened, blocking Boss Liu's sight, and put on his calm and elegant appearance again.
"Mr. Liu, please be at ease. Pindao has seen through the reality of the demon in the mountain. It doesn't dare to show up while Pindao is here."
The words just fell.
"whee."
The night wind suddenly brought a burst of female laughter.
"Who?" "Where?" "Who is laughing?"...
Unprepared, the group of people suddenly panicked. When several flashlights were sweeping around, Liu Zhugan suddenly spoke.
"Taoist Master Suxuan, where is your disciple?"
Only then did everyone realize that Su Xuan's apprentice, the young Taoist priest, had disappeared without realizing it.
The people present were even more panicked. Boss Liu hurriedly asked: "What should I do with Taoist Priest Suxuan?"
But Su Xuan was completely deceived. He was just trying to fool him, so how could he be serious about it? This time, he was more panicked than the others.
Boss Liu probably knew that this man was hopeless, so he turned to look at Li Changan.
"Mr. Li..."
Li Changan watched the joke for a while, but now that the sponsor had spoken, he stopped paddling and took the lead in walking in one direction, and the others quickly followed.
But after following a few steps, everyone realized why they were getting closer and closer to the laughter?
Before he could question it, he turned a corner and bumped into the source of laughter.
It was not the female ghost as imagined, but a young Taoist priest, who was Su Xuan's missing disciple.
He was standing in front of a balcony with everyone on his back, holding his voice and imitating a woman's smile.
Boss Liu looked at Su Xuan with a somewhat unkind look. He, a wealthy man who made his fortune from real estate, was not as glamorous as he appeared. Su Xuan, who had dealt with this kind of people a lot, knew this and quickly stepped forward to grab his apprentice.
"What are you doing?"
But as soon as he was pulled over, the expression on the young Taoist priest's face made people feel frightened. He had a stiff smile like a puppet on his face, but his eyes kept rolling with tears.
Su Xuan's tug seemed to wake the young Taoist priest from a nightmare. He put away his strange smile, but couldn't stop crying and kept mumbling.
"There's a ghost."
Su Xuan was a little ashamed. He had sworn that he was not a ghost just now, so now he was slapped in the face.
"What ghost? Where did the ghost come from? It's a monster! You don't practice well at ordinary times, so you must have been deceived by monsters now!"
But his apprentice did not cooperate with his excuse, and instead cried miserably.
"Master, why is there really a ghost?"
Li Changan was amused after hearing this. What does it mean that there is really a ghost? Emotions: Did you think there were no ghosts in the world before? Does this count as the apprentice exposing the master's background?
Su Xuan coughed a few times and quickly explained:
"My apprentice has followed me to exorcise evil spirits and cure ghosts since he was a child. It was because of my poor care that he was frightened and contracted the evil plague. Since then, he has had some problems with his brain. He is sick, yes! He is sick!"
Su Xuan tried his best to make a round face, but found that it had no effect, so he had to avoid it for the time being.
"I think it's getting late. Pindao has also consumed a lot of mana. Let's go back today."
Everyone still accepted this proposal, but a group of people walked to the stairs, but they couldn't move any further.
Someone turned off the lights downstairs!
"Maybe the voltage here is unstable." Boss Liu swallowed and said slowly. This is more like self-comfort than an explanation.
He scanned the faces of the people around him. He could not direct Li Changan and Master Suxuan. The two bodyguards were responsible for his personal safety. As for Liu Zhugan...
"Xiao Liu, go down first and turn on the light."
"ah?"
"What a little thing!"
Boss Liu's eyes widened, and Liu Zhugan had no choice but to go downstairs with grievance and trepidation.
He walked one step at a time in three steps, slowly moved to the switch, found the right position and pressed it quickly.
Light returns to the world.
He breathed a sigh of relief, cursed a few times in a low voice, and then put on a flattering smile and turned to look at his boss, but Boss Liu didn't find a look of satisfaction on his face. Instead, he looked frightened.
"laugh."
A slight, short laugh, right next to my ears!
Liu Zhugan shivered violently and turned his head.
A woman with disheveled hair and a white dress stained with blood stood beside him, motionless, with only drops of blood falling from the piece of meat she held in her hands.
