When the young man heard what the burly policeman said, he immediately waved his hands and said, "No, no... Officer, I really didn't make a false report. I really saw a ghost! A female ghost, covered in blood... If you don't believe me, ask him!"
The boy's hand pointed at me.
I shrank my shoulders and said with a light smile, "Driver, you can't say such things casually, it will scare people. Besides, I didn't see any ghosts or monsters you mentioned!"
How could I possibly admit such a thing
If I admitted it, I might really be taken to the police station and locked up for a few days.
After hearing what I said, the burly policeman said to the young driver unhappily: "Well, since your car is still here, your property is not damaged, and they have given you the fare. If you have nothing to do, you can leave now!"
Seeing the burly policeman's serious expression, the young man didn't dare to say anything more.
He looked at me and saw that I was smiling, but his shoulders trembled for no reason. Without staying for too long, the young man named Yesaidong got into the taxi, and the taxi drove away soon.
Then the burly policeman apologized to me and said it was all a misunderstanding.
I chatted with them for a few minutes before the two policemen left.
The sky was getting brighter, and although the sun might take some time to come out, the surrounding scenery could already be vaguely seen. After the police car left, the busty woman let out a long sigh, stroking her chest with one hand, and looked very scared.
However, the big-breasted woman didn't know us. After walking with us for a while, she left on her own.
On the way, Ma Qiang, He Man and I hailed a taxi and prepared to return to Xiyuan Apartment.
Ma Qiang and He Man were sitting in the back seat, being affectionate and having a great time. However, they both had no place to live yet, so Ma Qiang said a few words to me, saying that he wanted He Man to move into the apartment I rented.
I agreed to Ma Qiang's request. Anyway, He Man and Ma Qiang lived in the same room, so it didn't affect me.
The taxi drove on the road for more than an hour and finally arrived at the bottom of Xiyuan Apartment just as the sun was rising.
But before I could go upstairs, the cell phone in my pocket rang.
It’s Master Chu’s call.
Master Chu told me to go to him at noon, and said that the "Panshan Road Incident" that Master Jiang and I experienced this time was very serious, and that we still needed to plan carefully if we wanted to deal with the gray-robed man, Taoist Yang Chen. Therefore, he invited many people in the industry to go to Panshan Road together.
I agreed.
Then Master Chu sent me his address via mobile phone.
I looked at the address above, "Tian De Funeral Supplies Store", No. 84, Jingyuan Street, Taihua Road.
I didn't think much of the roads and streets in the front, but I found the string of names at the back very interesting.
Tiande Funeral Supplies Store, damn, Master Chu is really good at naming. Just sell supplies for the dead, but he gave it such a high-sounding name. I am really taught.
Soon, Ma Qiang, He Man and I went upstairs.
When I just walked to the door of the apartment I rented, I happened to meet the big brother next door. When the big brother saw me going upstairs with Ma Qiang and He Man, he was stunned.
A few days ago, he knew that Ma Qiang had moved into my apartment. Now there was another woman. This made the neighbor
Very surprised.
When I saw the guy next door wearing sportswear, I remembered that today was the weekend.
I smiled and greeted the guy next door, "Brother, are you going for morning exercise?"
The big brother next door looked at me, Ma Qiang and He Man for a few times, and then he smiled a little stiffly and said, "Little brother, you don't have to call me big brother, just call me Xie Lingbo."
"How can that be possible! You are older than me, so how about this, I will call you Brother Xie!"
I said with a smile.
At the same time, I exchanged a few simple pleasantries with Xie Lingbo and introduced myself. Interestingly, Xie Lingbo and I have lived across from each other for a while, but this is the first time I know his name.
After a few simple greetings, Xie Lingbo asked me in a low voice, "Um... Brother Yang, are you bringing someone to live in the apartment again?"
I know Xie Lingbo was talking about He Man.
I smiled and explained, "Yes! That's my brother Ma Qiang's girlfriend. Her lease on an apartment recently expired and she hasn't found a suitable place yet, so she moved in with me temporarily!"
Of course, this is half true and half false, but it is true that He Man has no place to live.
"Ah!? I see."
Xie Lingbo said with a smile. He then pulled me aside and whispered to me, "Little brother, I have already warned you before that someone died in your apartment, so it may not be clean! By the way, how are you doing recently?"
I said with a smile: "Brother Xie, I think you are overthinking it. I live well here! I haven't encountered any problems! And you see, there are three people living in my apartment now. Nothing will happen at all!"
Xie Lingbo looked as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't.
He patted my shoulder and said as if to warn me: "Okay, Brother Yang, take care of yourself. I always feel that your apartment is not peaceful, you have to be careful! ... But I also admire you for living in this apartment for such a long time. You know, the previous residents moved out after living there for only two days!"
Xie Lingbo stopped talking here. He already knew that there might be a ghost knocking on my apartment door in the middle of the night.
"Hey, Brother Xie, thank you for your reminder!"
After Xie Lingbo finished talking to me, he went downstairs.
When he was going downstairs, he kept looking at us upstairs with a strange look in his eyes. He was muttering, "Three people have moved in, and nothing happened? How weird!?"
Xie Lingbo's voice was not very loud, but He Man still heard it.
He Man looked at me suspiciously and asked me, "Brother Yang, why do I feel like that person seems to have an opinion about the person who moved into your apartment?!"
I waved my hand, poked open the door of the apartment with my key, and whispered, "Let's go in first! We can talk inside first. It's not convenient to talk here."
Afterwards, Ma Qiang, He Man and I went into the apartment.
In fact, Ma Qiang already knew from He Man that I was a Taoist priest. But because it was not easy to ask on the road, Ma Qiang did not ask. Now that he was in the apartment, Ma Qiang's mouth was like a string of cannons, asking questions one after another.
"Brother Yang, when did you become a Taoist priest?"
"He Man said there's a ghost inside the tube on your waist. Is that true?"
"Brother Yang, is being a Taoist priest profitable?"
Ma Qiang's question left me speechless and I didn't know how to answer for a moment.
After thinking about it, I could only think of what I had discovered since I moved into the apartment.
He told Ma Qiang everything that happened.
As for the matter of the Yin-Yang Soul-Ferrying Notes, I didn't say anything. I only said that I had previously met a master who taught me the art of catching ghosts.
Although Ma Qiang and He Man were confused by my words, they were sure that I was a Taoist priest. When Ma Qiang heard that there would be ghosts knocking on the door of my apartment at midnight, his mouth was already wide open.
"That's not right, Brother Yang, I slept in the apartment the night before last, and I didn't hear any ghost knocking on the door!"
Ma Qiang still had some doubts and said something.
I curled my lips and said, "You sleep like a dead pig. Even if there is an earthquake, you may not know it. What's more, there is a ghost knocking on the door!"
Ma Qiang was a little embarrassed by what I said. But soon he asked me excitedly, "Brother Yang, is it profitable to catch ghosts?"
I thought it was a little funny, so I said, "It's not bad! It makes a lot of money!"
When he heard me say that catching ghosts is quite profitable, Ma Qiang's eyes suddenly lit up green.
He looked at me as if he had seen something precious.
He held my hand tightly, refusing to let go, begging me, "Brother Yang, how about this? I'm short of money, so why don't you teach me some knowledge about catching ghosts? Then I can make a lot of money!"
I know Ma Qiang, he is not only greedy but also very lustful, but his character is not bad. However, it is impossible for Ma Qiang to let me take him to become a Taoist priest.
On the one hand, I have not learned much and am not qualified to be a teacher yet. On the other hand, Taoists have five disadvantages and three shortcomings. If Ma Qiang became a Taoist priest and really committed one of the more troublesome of the five disadvantages and three shortcomings, then he would be in real trouble.
I said to Ma Qiang unhappily, "You'd better be content and find a job as soon as possible. The Taoist profession is not suitable for you. Besides, there are five disadvantages and three shortcomings in our Taoist profession!"
Then I simply explained the five disadvantages and three shortcomings to Ma Qiang.
After hearing this, the excitement and anticipation in the boy's eyes disappeared completely.
He shook his head like a rattle and never mentioned joining the Taoist profession again.
But now Ma Qiang has the check for 700,000 yuan that Zhao Gang gave him in his hand. I believe that even if he does not go out to find a job, 700,000 yuan will be enough for him to spend for a while.
In this way, Ma Qiang and He Man had already understood my situation. However, He Man was a few years older than Ma Qiang and me, and she always called me "brother", which really made me feel uncomfortable.
Soon, Ma Qiang pulled He Man into the house and went to fool around.
And I have something else to do at this time, which is the matter of the female ghost sister Tong.
Earlier, at the Qinyuan New City Villa, the ghost girl Tong Jie suddenly changed her soul and looked almost crazy. I don't know what happened. Also, what is the palm-sized red lacquer coffin that appeared in her hand? What is inside, I am also confused.
I suddenly realized that it might be relatively easy to help the female ghost find her son Junjun. But the female ghost Tong Jie was unusual. I always felt that keeping her by my side was like carrying a time bomb.
I don't know when she will go crazy again.
I stroked the wall of the soul barrel and tapped it gently.
I walked inside and asked, "Sister Tong, how are you recovering? I have something I want to talk to you about!"
But there was no sound from inside the soul barrel.
It seems that this time the female ghost sister went crazy and really made her very weak.
