Lu Yingjiu turned back suddenly.
Maotuanzi: "Burp!" It stuck out its tongue, sometimes toasting, sometimes welcoming guests, and wagging its tail madly.
Lu Yingjiu: "... Jingxian, what did you feed it just now?"
Jing Xian quickly answered: "Beans and spicy strips."
"What else?"
"And half a piece of ginger."
"What else?"
Jing Xian didn't even blink: "No more."
Lu Yingjiu: “…”
If he hadn't heard Jing Xian's sincere tone clearly, he would have started to doubt whether he had misunderstood something.
He patted his side and Tuanzi immediately squeezed over.
Then Lu Yingjiu lifted the animal upside down by its hind legs and shook it hard, trying to shake out the evidence.
“Ahhhh!”
The furry ball struggled in the air, shaking its short legs, but nothing came out except its fur being ruffled.
The dignity of a glutton is that he will never spit out what he has eaten!
Lu Yingjiu tried for a while but failed, so he put the fur ball back on the ground and said, "Don't feed it everything."
"It's a glutton and eats everything," Jing Xian said.
"It can't be used as a kitchen waste bin, although it is quite convenient..."
Jing Xian assured: "Anyway, you won't get sick from eating this."
Lu Yingjiu was about to say something, but stopped talking again.
—Something seems to be moving outside the window.
He went to the window.
The entire glass seemed to be covered by a mass of black, and the view outside could not be seen clearly.
The black object was still moving, and the rustling sound was mixed with the sound of rain. I didn't know what was exerting force, but the entire glass was banging and there were signs of cracking. In a flash, Lu Yingjiu pushed open the window with one hand and threw out the talisman paper with the other!
He used a lot of energy and acted decisively. The black mass was thrown away with the window, and the talisman paper followed it, bursting with dazzling light in the thousands of raindrops!
The black color was ignited, and then it dispersed and fell to the ground in pieces.
Only then did Lu Yingjiu sober up and saw that there were countless spiders in the air!
Spiders of different species were ignited by the talisman paper, emitting the smell of burnt protein and falling to the ground. Some were still alive, running away quickly with their long legs, while others were burned and curled up into a ball, completely dead.
Not only this group, there were also endless streams of spiders outside the window. Lu Yingjiu took a casual look and found that the entire outer wall was occupied, without leaving any space, which made people's scalp tingle.
If they were not afraid of the flames from the talisman paper, they would have swarmed into the house long ago.
Lu Yingjiu's face was slightly grim, and he threw out four more pieces of talisman paper. The talisman paper automatically stuck to the four corners of the window, forming a kind of deterrent, forcibly suppressing the surrounding negative energy -
The effect is also very immediate.
The spiders all ran away at once, peeling off the outer wall one by one, falling into the puddles and running away in all directions.
At the same time, the rain outside the house became much lighter, and the wind became gentler, no longer howling like ghosts.
Lu Yingjiu: “…”
He stood up and said to Jing Xian, "Let's go to Ye Feng's room and take a look."
Ye Feng and Xiao Li lived next door to them. Lu Yingjiu opened the door and went to the corridor, walked over and knocked on the door.
The corridor was clean and the spiders seemed to gather only outside the windows.
"Here it comes." Xiao Li's voice came.
He opened the door for Lu Yingjiu with a very normal expression, as if he hadn't noticed anything.
Lu Yingjiu asked: "Did you see any spiders just now?"
"Spider?" Xiao Li was stunned. "No... What's wrong?"
Lu Yingjiu entered their room. Ye Feng was still worried about the little crocodile doll made of ashes, and asked, "What happened?"
Lu Yingjiu told them about the spider and then asked, "Don't you have any abnormalities?"
The two were both surprised.
"There's really nothing unusual." Ye Feng said, "Xiao Li was sitting by the window just now, he didn't see anything."
Xiao Li nodded repeatedly: "Yes, I was just looking at the rain. I didn't look away for even a second."
Could it be that those spiders were only targeting him and Jing Xian
Lu Yingjiu frowned, opened their window and looked around, but indeed found nothing unusual. Ye Feng didn't place talismans in the house, so it should have nothing to do with the talismans...
Wait, it’s still related.
Lu Yingjiu picked up a piece of torn paper by the window.
Ye Feng unpacked Ye Deyong's belongings in the house. The cardboard box containing the belongings was wrapped with talisman paper with a picture of a snake. After Ye Feng unpacked it, he threw the shredded paper all over the floor without cleaning it up. Now there are still scattered pieces of paper by the window and on the floor.
The torn paper in his hand was part of the talisman paper.
The torn paper was getting hot and warm.
Lu Yingjiu suddenly realized: the talisman paper was effective, which was why the two people did not encounter the spider.
Moreover, the snake on the talisman paper reacted greatly, almost angry: flames were wrapped around its body, and at this moment, the flames were floating slowly, as if they were really burning.
He gently rubbed the talisman paper, and suddenly thought: There are other people in this hotel. They are not afraid of spiders, but it is hard to say about others!
He didn't have time to say anything more. As soon as he pushed the door open, he saw Jing Xian waiting for him. The two of them took the elevator directly to the hotel lobby.
Lu Yingjiu went straight to the front desk and asked, "Have any guests reported to you about being bitten by a spider?"
"No." The receptionist smiled sweetly, "Did you encounter a spider? Do you need to change rooms?"
"Is there really no reaction from anyone?"
“No.”
Lu Yingjiu was suspicious.
The entire lobby was empty, the front desk phone didn’t ring, and it seemed that nothing had happened to anyone else.
He was just about to go back to the room to check when he suddenly heard a voice.
It came from the square outside the hotel.
The rain was so loud that I could hear someone's sharp voice: "How many times have I told you that the road is blocked!!"
Then there was another quarrel.
Lu Yingjiu squinted her eyes and saw through the rain two off-road vehicles parked crookedly in the village square in the distance, their wheels and bodies covered in fresh mud.
A young man was lying in the back seat of the SUV, his eyes closed, his face abnormally red, and he had a high fever.
A man was shouting at the top of his lungs: "I told you there's a mudslide, we can't get out!"
The man in red clothes opposite him grabbed his collar and said, "If you can't get to the hospital, someone will die!!"
"Then go talk to God! Why are you looking for me? I'm just a driver!" The driver was so angry that he said, "You can find anyone else to do this job. No one can leave this village now anyway. Damn it, you have a really stinky mouth." After saying that, he shook off his hand and turned away.
The man in red was cursing behind, then waved his hand and called two or three people over.
The patient was delirious due to fever and had to be helped out of the car. He walked into the hotel lobby, all wet, and sat on the sofa.
The man in red was cursing nearby, extremely anxious, and constantly looking at his phone.
Lu Yingjiu stood beside him and asked, "Is the way out blocked?"
The man in red gave him a look and said unhappily, "Yes, there is a mudslide. This rain is falling at a really damn bad time."
"What's wrong with him?" Lu Yingjiu glanced at the patient.
"I was bitten by a spider at the foot of the mountain and had a fever." The man in red said, "It's no use taking medicine. The fever has been getting worse since this morning. If I don't go to the hospital..." He cursed in a low voice again.
Spider, spider again.
And it just happened to be combined with this mudslide...
Lu Yingjiu frowned slightly and asked, "Do you want me to help him?"
"Are you a doctor?"
"No, there are some talismans that can alleviate the condition. It should be enough to hold out until we can clear the way. Let's take him back to his room first."
The man in red glanced at him quickly, half believing and half doubting.
But right now, he has no other choice.
The doctor carried the patient and walked slowly towards the room. Lu Yingjiu touched his forehead, which was so hot that it felt like you could fry an egg on it.
When we arrived at the room on the second floor, the patient lay down on the bed with a frown on his face, as if he was haunted by a nightmare.
The back of his left hand was bitten and was as red and swollen as a roasted pig's trotter. The wound was almost spreading to the wrist bone and it hurt when he bit it.
Lu Yingjiu sniffed his breath, then held out his hand: "Give me some paper and a pen."
The man in red immediately rummaged through boxes and found a pen and paper. Lu Yingjiu took it and started to draw on the paper, gradually drawing a fish shape.
When Lu Yingjiu finished the last stroke, a fish the size of a palm came to life on the paper.
Its appearance is very strange, with a snake head and six legs.
Ran Yiyu.
The Classic of Mountains and Seas states: In the Yingdi Mountain, there are many lacquered trees on the top, and many gold and jade on the bottom. The birds and beasts are all white. The Hu River flows out of it and flows northward to the Lingyang Marsh. This is the fish of Duo Ranyi, with a fish body, a snake head and six legs, and its eyes are like horse ears. Eating it can prevent people from squinting and ward off evil.
According to myths and legends, people who eat Ran Yi fish can ward off evil spirits and avoid nightmares.
Allowing it to possess a person has the same effect.
The others didn't know how to exorcise ghosts or use talismans, but they felt that the moment the talisman was completed, the room suddenly became cold, as if there was a lot more moisture in the room.
Lu Yingjiu gently stuck the talisman paper on the patient's bedside.
The man's breathing immediately calmed down and his brows were no longer furrowed, as if he had just emerged from a nightmare.
The one in red was overjoyed: "This, this, this disease is cured?!"
"Not yet." Lu Yingjiu touched his forehead again, "The fever hasn't subsided yet. This is just a temporary relief. We still have to go to the hospital."
The man in red hesitated for a few seconds: "How about you see how to cure him directly? I think he must have been poisoned by a spider."
Lu Yingjiu said: "If talisman paper can cure poisoning, what's the point of serum and anti-allergic drugs? We can win the Nobel Prize directly, and conquering cancer is not a dream."
The man in red was horrified: "You guys can cure diseases by performing magic tricks! Why do you believe in science so much?!"
"He's an exorcist, not a charlatan..." Lu Yingjiu held his forehead with his hand, "Does the Qingdeng Society know that they arrange physical examinations for exorcists every year, and they must have insurance. If he got sick because of ghosts, he can cure it. For other cases, you can go find a doctor. The worst thing for people is feudal superstition."
Red Clothes: "... I feel like you shouldn't be the one to say this."
Lu Yingjiu stood up and said, "Anyway, I hope the roads will be smooth soon. You should also tell others to be careful of spiders."
The lady in red clothes thanked him profusely and sent Lu Yingjiu and Jingxian away.
Before leaving, Lu Yingjiu asked again: "By the way, can I borrow your off-road vehicle for a while? I want to go to the foot of the mountain to check on the spiders."
The man in red was stunned for a moment, then said readily, "Okay, I'll give you the car keys."
After leaving the room, Lu Yingjiu had time to notice that the rain had stopped.
Although the weather was still terribly gloomy, with leaden clouds rolling and seeming to be about to crush the ground in the next second, the violent storm finally disappeared completely. Standing at the window in the corridor and taking a deep breath, I felt my lungs filled with water vapor.
He looked out the window at the distant mountains.
The mountains were gloomy, and the dark woods were shrouded in clouds.
He stared at her silently for a few seconds, then said to Jing Xian, "Let's go."
After the rain, the roads in the village were all muddy. Fortunately, the borrowed off-road vehicle had powerful horsepower and a high chassis. The tires rolled up the mud and water, and it drove through the muddy road easily.
Passing the square in the center of the village, they met quite a few people.
Although many anchors left, there were only about ten people left who hadn't left yet. They had all heard about the mudslide and gathered in the square to discuss it. Some of them were talking in low voices, with worried faces, while others were emotional, swearing on the phone, with veins popping out on their faces.
Lu Yingjiu said, "Stop the car."
Jingxian stopped the car.
Lu Yingjiu opened the car door and got out. A few people knew him and knew he was an exorcist, so they immediately surrounded him as if they had been saved.
"What the hell is going on! Could this mudslide be caused by that ghost?"
"Isn't it safe for us..."
"Master, please give us some talisman paper quickly!"
"Master, can you calculate when we can open the road?"
When Lu Yingjiu heard the last question, he said helplessly, "I'm really not a charlatan. I can't calculate such a thing."
"Oh—" the questioner was disappointed.
"I don't know about the mudslide," Lu Yingjiu said, "I'm here to remind you to be careful of spiders."
To avoid unnecessary panic, he concealed the fact that there was a spider riot outside the window, and simply described the patient's condition, and warned: "Try to stay indoors and don't go wandering around the village. The spiders here are poisonous."
When everyone heard that the consequences of being bitten were so serious, they of course promised that they would never wander around.
Another person said: "Oh, I think I've seen a lot of spiders since this morning!"
"That's right. I saw two or three of them as soon as I went out. They were of different species."
"I got up early today and prepared to pack my bags and leave the village. I was pretty sure everything was normal this early in the morning, but it started to rain. Oh no, it was like poking a spider's nest, and all three of us ran out."
Lu Yingjiu was stunned for a moment, then pulled the last person and said, "Are you sure that the spiders came out after the rain?"
"Yes. I was at the foot of the mountain when it rained." The man said, "As soon as the thunder sounded, a lot of spiders crawled out of the mountain, just like spring bamboo shoots. I was afraid of insects, so I left quickly. Damn, just as I was about to leave the village, there was a mudslide." When he mentioned this, he still regretted it, "I should have left with Zhou Liang and the others yesterday."
Rain, spiders, mudslides.
These three words kept lingering in Lu Yingjiu's mind.
It's definitely not a coincidence.
Moreover, the mudslide blocked the road and no one could get out.
Although he had many doubts in his heart, he would not say them directly.
He still gave each person a peace amulet, but the group of people became extremely panicked. They were not satisfied with the amulets and chased him to ask if he had more amulet papers.
Lu Yingjiu was about to politely refuse the offer when he saw that they all stopped talking and fell silent.
Then Lu Yingjiu felt a heavy weight on his shoulders.
Jing Xian got off the car at some point, put his arm around his shoulders, and smiled at everyone: "I'm sorry, even if I gave you the other talismans, you wouldn't know how to use them."
After he said this, the whole place fell silent and everyone stopped talking in dismay.
It turned out that Jingxian was still effective at times like this, and he easily intimidated them.
Lu Yingjiu was hugged by Jing Xian all the way into the car. Sitting in the passenger seat, he asked doubtfully, "Does he look so easy to bully?"
"You're not easy to bully," Jing Xian said, "maybe you look like a good person."
That is true.
Lu Yingjiu has a handsome appearance and is naturally very approachable. Even if he is placed in the villain camp of the movie, he looks like the type who will be whitewashed in the future.
Lu Yingjiu laughed when he heard this: "You make it sound like you are a villain."
"Isn't it?" Jing Xian raised his eyebrows.
Lu Yingjiu looked at Jingxian again.
Perhaps Jing Xian usually behaved too innocently in front of him, so he often subconsciously ignored that, like many fierce priests, Jing Xian's temperament was evil. Now, if he looked at it carefully, from the eyebrows, eyes to the thin lips and sharp jawline, everything revealed elegance, but also aggression.
Although I don't know Jing Xian's name, I know he is definitely a priest who specializes in killing.
The situation in the ghost world is extremely complicated and the living cannot get a glimpse of it at all.
There are no ethics or morals there. Not to mention ordinary ghosts, even the priests killing each other is not uncommon.
Years of experience in dealing with ghosts gave Lu Yingjiu an inexplicable intuition: the number of ghosts who died at Jing Xian's hands was definitely not small.
If he was told it was a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, he would believe it.
"… Why aren't you talking?" Jing Xian looked at him and asked, "Where are we going next?"
Lu Yingjiu came back to her senses: "Let's go to the foot of the mountain by the lake first, that's where we're going to take a walk."
Jing Xian nodded, rummaged through his backpack, took out a small box of milk and handed it to Lu Yingjiu.
After the incident with Mao Tuanzi, Lu Yingjiu had a complicated attitude towards this magical backpack. He held the milk and asked, "How much stuff is in your bag?"
"Not much really." Jing Xian stepped on the accelerator.
The car drove around the lake and headed towards the foot of the mountain.
Lu Yingjiu drank milk while looking at the scenery outside the window.
He thought it was a pity that the living could not go to the ghost world, otherwise it would be nice to be able to visit the ghost world.
Perhaps he could also see another side of Jing Xian that he never showed in front of him.
But Jingxian said before that his family lives next to the abyss...
Lu Yingjiu had been imagining a rotten thatched house, with bare walls, cold in winter and warm in summer. The roof was blown off by the wind, revealing the bare skeleton. Walking back was the backyard, the environment in the backyard was terrible, there were even snakes growing on the trees, and there must be other ferocious beasts running rampant.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that Jingxian's life must be terrible.
Moreover, if Jing Xian really killed many people, he probably had bad ghost relationships and few friends.
etc!
Lu Yingjiu opened her eyes wide and felt that she had figured something out.
So that's how it was, Jing Xian was willing to be tricked by that master and have a ghost marriage!
—Or maybe Jing Xian didn’t even realize that he was being fooled!
Lu Yingjiu's mind suddenly became clear, but she didn't know what to say.
No matter how much Jing Xian loved her, he still felt that she was a naive girl who was tricked into marrying him and was so happy about it.
After finishing the milk, he bit the straw and said, "Cheers..."
"Hmm?" Jing Xian glanced at him.
Lu Yingjiu asked tentatively: "Where do you live in the ghost world..."
Unexpectedly, Jing Xian was even more nervous than him and sat up straight immediately.
He understands this!
This is Lu Yingjiu asking about his financial situation!
Heibai Wuchang had told him that humans took this issue very seriously, and he had to show off his financial resources so that Lu Yingjiu could marry into his family peacefully. Real estate, vehicles, income... In short, he had to behave respectably, competitively, and attractively.
Of course, in addition to financial resources, personal qualities are also very important.
He also prepared various plans to deal with the problem of Lu Yingjiu.
—For example, the most classic question: "If you and your mother fall into the water at the same time, who will you save?"
He was ready. If Lu Yingjiu asked him this question, he would answer truthfully: I don't have a mother.
Before Lu Yingjiu could think of the second half of her sentence, she heard Jing Xian speak first: "There are hundreds of houses. You can live wherever you want. We have them in the east, south, west and north. From Huangquan Road to Beiyin Mountain to Wangsi City, they are all in prime locations! If you want to live in a sky garden, there is a sky garden. If you want to live near Wangchuan, there is a villa near the river. If all else fails, there is a sleeping palace on the eighteenth floor of hell. It's very beautiful, but outside it are all dead people and skulls."
Lu Yingjiu: "... ah?"
Jing Xian kept talking: "Don't worry about the car. Apart from the Maybach, Aston Martin and Pagani you rode before, you can buy whatever you want. We can drive everywhere and travel everywhere. If all else fails, I can give you Yinglong to ride. I have many Qilins, in red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple and other colors. You can ride and pet them every day. If you like exotic mounts, I can also smuggle a three-headed hellhound for you from a foreign country."
Lu Yingjiu: “…Ah?”
His train of thought was completely disrupted by Jing Xian.
Jing Xian continued: "She has a stable job and a stable income. She will definitely be home before 10pm. She can do housework and cook very well. She was taught by a New Oriental teacher. Her level is definitely good enough."
"I don't smoke or drink, and I never touch pornography, gambling or drugs. I am healthy and never get sick. I don't hide any private money. I don't have any bad relatives or friends, and I don't have a mother."
Lu Yingjiu: “…Ah???”
