Chapter 18 Chapter 9 Night Falls

Just as Miscellaneous Mao Xiaodao and I were getting ready to go, the foggy frosted glass door swung open, and a young woman with wet hair wrapped in a towel appeared in front of us.Her hair is messy and fluffy after brushing, her face is small, her eyes are big, her face is melon seeds, her lips are small like cherries, the skin exposed outside the bath towel is white and tender, and it turns pink after being soaked in hot water. Almost dripping water. Her face was refreshed after the bath, the corners of her mouth were turned up, her eyes were half-closed, and she was still humming a commercial song. However, when she opened the door and saw two rough old men standing in front of her, she cried The dolphin sound, which exceeded the height of Vitas, burst out in an instant.

Ah-ah... The frosted glass door of the bathroom was closed in an instant, and then there was the sound of the door being locked in a panic. Zhamao Xiaodao and I looked at each other, startled by the high-frequency rhythm vibration.It's a human, not a ghost.The two of us took a step back immediately, Miscellaneous Mao Xiaodao looked at me blankly, and asked what was going on?Little poison, I was still laughing at you at noon, you kid, you are starving, you slap me in the face without thinking, Jinwu Zangjiao, is this a surprise or a fright, do you need to do this? I was also a little dazed and caught off guard.I looked around the room, that's right, this is my house, how could a woman appear?

The woman inside was screaming, saying who are you?How did you come into my house? Miscellaneous hair Xiaodao giggled and said, who are you, female layman?How did this become your home?This is obviously my friend's house... The woman didn't speak for a long time, and after a while, she said quietly: "So you are the landlord of this house..." This was the first meeting between me, Zamao Xiaodao and Zhang Junlan. This name is very difficult to pronounce. For the convenience of narration, I will use Xiaolan as her pronoun. In fact, we also call it that way.When Xiaolan changed her clothes, sat on the sofa with a wary face, and explained to us that she was a new tenant here, I had already called the rental agency to confirm this matter.In fact, this happened not long ago. Since I don’t live in Dongguan often, it would be a waste to keep my house here, so I hung it up with an intermediary. Except for the master bedroom, the other two rooms are rented out.

This is one way I pay off my mortgage, as is the one in the suburbs. I was too busy during this period, so I didn't care about this matter. In fact, the agency called me several times, but I didn't receive it, and I didn't see it when I sent a message. That's why it happened.The agent told me that these two rooms have been rented out, and they are occupied by two girls. One is this Zhang Junlan, and the other is Pan Yu, who are employees of a company nearby. Xiaolan was very vigilant, her eyes full of suspicion, in order to prove that I was the landlord, I had to take out my ID card.

She relaxed her vigilance, blushed, said she was embarrassed, and then introduced herself, let us call her Xiaolan.I don't care what she does, as long as she doesn't make the house dirty and pays the rent on time.Just casually say a few words, saying that I am working in Hongshan now, and generally I will not come back, so don't worry.This Xiaolan is good-looking, and his face always feels like a female star. I thought that Miscellaneous Hairy Xiaodao would talk about relationships glibly, but to my surprise, he didn't talk much and was not enthusiastic. Miscellaneous Mao Xiaodao was surprisingly silent that day, and he didn't behave like the him I knew at all.

After chatting for a few words, Xiaolan said that another tenant is coming back soon, how about we go out for dinner together?I shook my head and refused.It can be seen that she is a relatively generous and decent girl, she is also very smart, and has a city mansion—I was seen by Zamao Xiaodao and I when I just came out of the bath, but now she is chatting politely with us without changing her face, her psychological quality is poor It's hard for a little girl. As it happens, I don't really like girls who are too bright. I didn't know at the time that we would meet Xiaolan in another place.

Our time was too tight, and we didn't talk too much, so we locked things in the master bedroom and went out to buy. If there are ghosts at night, we need to get some things to ward off evil spirits.The so-called evil-repelling things are things that can destroy evil spirits, such as magic tools, which are tools that have been blessed by people with the Tao, and they have the idea of ​​​​breaking evil.Ordinary people find it rare, so they entrust the charms, sachets, copper coins, jewelry, pendants and so on in temples and Taoist temples; and such things as jade, jade carved with perennial patterns can also play a role in warding off evil spirits; Water-cleaning willow branches, censer ashes, uterine blood, pickled filth in latrines, New Year pictures, peach wood, jujube wood...

Customs vary from place to place, and all things have spirits, and the magical effect of warding off evil spirits also varies from high to low. And the things we mainly buy are the black dog blood, black dog blood and black donkey blood mentioned in the previous article. I don’t know the specific principle, but it has a miraculous effect on evil things. Among my twelve methods There are also records; glutinous rice, this kind of thing is designed to break evil things like zongzi and dwarf mules, and it is safe to be prepared; in addition, there are some odds and ends, such as incense candle paper, red thread and white cloth...

Fortunately, I made some talismans in my spare time some time ago, and I have a little stockpile, so I can use them now. Making talismans is not a matter of one day and one night. You can't draw too much every day, and if you draw more, it will be ineffective.Before each painting, you need to clean yourself and take a bath, pray to the gods, and then gather your energy and write quickly.With my ability, I can only draw three days a week, and I can only make three pictures per day, and these are only one of the pediatric "Hui Du Rebirth Charm", "Purifying Heart Charm" and "Blessing Fragrance Charm". Kind of, it doesn't do much.

We walked around the nearby vegetable market a few times, but we couldn't find any black dogs for sale.Later, in the introduction of the street vendor, I found a restaurant and spent money to buy one. A total of six bags of black dog blood were filled. It was a thick glue bag and sealed with sealing glue.At about nine o'clock in the evening, we received a call from Mr. Ouyang Zhijian, saying that he was in a hotel on Guantai Road and asked us to call him when we arrived. We didn't dare to stay too long and let him wait for too long, so we went back to get the corresponding items, picked up Lao Wan immediately, and drove to Guantai Road.It was dark when we arrived. After finding a place to park the car, we found Mr. Ouyang who was waiting.He was not alone, there was a man in his thirties beside him.This man is tall and looks a lot like Liu Ye who played Jing Ke in "Legend of Jing Ke".I like the actor Liu Ye very much, so I somehow have a good impression of this person.

Old Mr. Ouyang introduced to us that he was one of his long-lost friends, who can be regarded as half a fellow, named Zhao Zhonghua, a native of Cangzhou, Hebei, who now lives in Dongguan. Zhao Zhonghua is a very attractive man. He shook hands with us and said it was a pleasure to meet us. He heard Mr. Ouyang mentioning you, saying that one is a master of Maoshan, and the other is an inheritor of witchcraft from Miaojiang. I'm a little curious, so come here and see if I can help you? When he shook hands, he was calm and powerful, and his eyes were shining. It was obvious that he was a man with a heart and a great skill. The entrance of the hotel where people come and go is not a place to talk. We drove each other and arrived at the front street of Xindian under the guidance of Lao Wan.This is a smaller storefront than the old store. Lao Wan opened the rolling shutter door, and he could see that the interior has been neatly decorated, but there are no goods, and all the shelves are empty.Originally, the opening here was to be opened, including lanterns and flower baskets, but now that something happened to Agen and people panicked, it was postponed indefinitely, and the goods were put in the old store and another branch. With so much goods in hand, it's no wonder that Gu Wei complained. I can understand his complaints. After entering the room, Lao Wan described to us the situation in the store on the day of the accident, saying that he and Agen were keeping watch in the small room inside.There is a bed in the small room. He is a careless guy who sleeps as soon as he touches the pillow, while Agen is using the computer to calculate accounts and is on duty in the middle of the night.He set the alarm clock, but he didn't wake up. It was daylight, and he didn't see Agen when he got up. He opened the shutter door, and he was there at that position. Zamao Xiaodao took out the compass, and without avoiding others, he recited the "Consecration and Invitation to the God Mantra", and then checked the rotation of the black magnetic needle in Tianchi. I leaned over to look, and saw that the magnetic needle was fixed at the Gen Palace in the northeast, Zamao Xiaodao sighed, saying that many days had passed, and the yin energy had faded.Old Mr. Ouyang said that the Taoist leader is indeed a famous family. This red copper Mingmen plate is exquisitely made and precise, as sensitive as a modern instrument. Presumably it is also the inheritance of Maoshan?Miscellaneous Mao Xiaodao put away the compass, bowed his hands as a salute, and said that it is polite, old man, you can just call me Xiao Xiao.This compass was not given by the master, but by the family, barely enough to make ends meet. Old Mr. Ouyang smiled and said that he was polite, well, I will call you Xiao Xiao.Turning his head, he asked Zhao Zhonghua, what do you think of Zhonghua?Zhao Zhonghua glanced around and said that there were traces of dampness, which were very faint and almost non-existent. Your guesses were indeed accurate.Miscellaneous Mao Xiaodao and I were both surprised, saying that even the compass can't be photographed, how can you judge it accurately just by looking at it? Mr. Ouyang chuckled, saying that Zhonghua was able to distinguish yin and yang since he was a child.We were all surprised, we really couldn't see that this man's background was really mysterious, so we asked him what he was doing now?He said that he came to Dongguan with his parents in the early years, and now he opened a waste collection station in Wanjiang. He shrugged and laughed at himself as a shopkeeper who collects rags. Zhao Zhonghua is very talkative, so we moved some stools, sat and chatted in the store, and discussed matters.To find Agen's lost soul, one must find the clues of ghosts, follow the clues, find the evil existence, and eliminate it in one fell swoop.And this thing only appears at night. Eleven o'clock passed quickly, and I looked out, and the real night fell.
