When a person is killed, blood will flow all over the ground. When a ghost is killed, it will explode into phosphorous fire, which is what people often call will-o'-the-wisp.
Although there was phosphorescence in the closet, I didn't feel that the female ghost who pushed the door was dead.
When I turned to look at Chen Liu and the others, the three of them had already fainted on the bed. I reached out to feel the breath of several people and found that they were only in temporary shock due to the influx of Yin Qi, so I placed a large coin on the forehead of each of them.
Money has been a powerful weapon for fighting ghosts since ancient times.
There is a saying that "money passes through the hands of thousands of people", so the yang energy on the money is extremely strong, enough to drive away ghosts and evil spirits. More importantly, the ancient big money was engraved with the year number, which was equivalent to carrying the fortune of a country, and naturally could suppress ghosts. Although the emperors of ancient times no longer exist, big money has been passed down as one of the magic tools. I put big money on their eyebrows to use the yang energy to force out the yin energy in their bodies.
After a while, the three of them woke up one after another. The two girls couldn't help crying. Chen Liu was so scared that his face turned pale. After a long time, he said, "Brother Wu, did you deal with the ghost?"
"Not yet. Let's wait until they calm down." I waited until the two girls had cried enough before I said, "Do you know the female ghost outside the door?"
I stared at Jiang Yi and asked in a deep voice, "You'd better tell the truth. This is directly related to your life and death."
Jiang Yi whispered, "It's Huang Dan, our classmate. Xiao Dan once took a group of photos of beauties in ancient costumes in a photo studio, and she was wearing this set of Hanfu at the time."
I immediately asked, "Do you have any photos from that time?"
Wang Shiyu said in a trembling voice: "Yes, it's in the cabinet, I'll get it for you..."
"Ah--" Wang Shiyu had just turned over a page of the album when she was so scared that she threw the album away.
I picked up the album and saw that there was indeed a beautiful woman in ancient costume who looked exactly like the female ghost. She also hid half of her body behind the door, with only her face and a small part of her body showing from the side of the door.
However, the pupils of the ancient beauty had somehow turned gray, and their pupils had also enlarged several times. When I picked up the photo album, the woman's lifeless pupils seemed to move slightly along with my face.
When I pointed my index finger at the woman's face in the photo, a puff of black smoke immediately came out from under my fingertip. When I moved my finger away, a hole like a cigarette butt was left on the photo, and the woman's face was completely burned in an instant.
This is not to say that I used any magical powers, but I completely controlled the negative energy in the photo with my qi and blood.
Everyone has qi and blood in their body, the difference lies in its strength. Generally, the qi and blood of people who practice martial arts are stronger.
Those so-called ghost photos, even if they really captured ghost images, did not mean that the ghosts were living in the photos. In most cases, they just absorbed a trace of Yin Qi. I pressed my Qi and blood on my fingertips towards the photo, actually just to see if there was a female ghost hidden in it.
I threw the photo album to the ground. "It's okay. This photo is just stained with a bit of Yin energy. How was this photo taken? I mean, who asked her to take the photo like this?"
Jiang Yi looked at Wang Shiyu and said, "Shiyu's boyfriend knows the owner of a photo studio. The studio is currently holding an event featuring supernatural materials called Phantom Night. Shiyu's boyfriend asked for a free ticket for us, so we went together."
"Although the setting of the film "Charming Night" looks beautiful, it gives people a gloomy feeling. Moreover, the photo shoot was held in the basement. Four girls went there at that time. Shiyu and I were too timid to try it, but Xiaodan and Tingting took many photos. This photo of them in Hanfu is one of them."
"The Enchanting Night..." I couldn't help but frown and asked, "Who came up with this material?"
Jiang Yi said, "He's the owner of a photo studio. He said that the competition among photo studios is too fierce nowadays, and it's hard to make money without taking an unconventional approach."
Chen Liu, who was still in shock, interrupted at this time: "Brother, did you see something?"
"The action in the photo should be a beauty opening a door." I said in a deep voice, "A beauty opening a door is a painting found in ancient tombs, especially in the Han Dynasty. In the painting, a beautiful woman with a kind face pushes open a door from the inside to the outside, as if looking forward to something in the distance."
"The meaning of this painting is that the beauty from the netherworld opens a door to another world for people. Moreover, the beauty's appearance does not seem so scary, which gives a kind of psychological comfort to the dead or the living who are attending the funeral."
I changed the subject and said, "But the beauty you met pushed the door inward from the outside, which means that she came from the underworld and wants to take you to hell. And..."
I looked at the two girls and said, "The other party didn't just show up alone. She also brought a team to welcome you."
Wang Shiyu was so scared that her whole body was shaking: "Xiao Dan... Xiao Dan... I have never done anything wrong to her, why did she do this to me?"
I said in a deep voice: "The Xiao Dan you are talking about should be dead. Whether you had any grudges against her during her lifetime does not affect her coming to pick you up."
Chen Liu was so scared that his face turned pale: "It's over! It's over! I shouldn't have come with you! I blocked that female ghost once, she must hate me too, I can't escape this time!"
Wang Shiyu said in a trembling voice: "Mr. Wu, do you have any way to crack it? I'll take any amount of money you want."
I thought for a moment before taking out three fortune-telling coins: "Tell me your birth date..."
"I am..." After Wang Shiyu told me her birth date, I threw the money on the table.
According to the hexagram, Wang Shiyu will indeed have a disaster this year, and it is a matter of life and death. If he cannot get through it, Wang Shiyu will definitely die.
I turned to look at Chen Liu and Jiang Yi: "You two should also tell me your birth dates."
After the two people reported their horoscopes one after another, the hexagram I cast out was a mess and nothing could be seen clearly.
Chen Liu asked nervously: "Brother, what did you figure out?"
I shook my head and said, "The hexagram is messed up. This only means that the fate of you two is unpredictable. Don't worry, it may not be impossible to turn danger into safety until the end."
I thought for a while and said, "Take me to the photo studio."
"Now?" Wang Shiyu was shocked.
"Now." I stood up and was about to leave.
"No! No!" Chen Liu was so frightened that his face turned pale. "Brother, it's true that you beat back the ghost, but we can't just walk into the ghost's lair with our eyes wide open!"
"Think about it yourself, why did the person taking the photo become a ghost? It was the evil ghost picking people! Maybe the evil ghost was standing behind the photographer, grabbing whoever he took a fancy to. If we go there now, wouldn't that be like a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth?"
The two girls were so frightened that their faces turned pale. Wang Shiyu whispered, "Can we not go?"
I looked at Wang Shiyu: "The girl named Xiaodan is dead, and the girl named Tingting may also be in danger. Aren't you friends? Do you want to watch her die? Go over now, maybe you can save her life."
Wang Shiyu bit her lip: "But I'm afraid..."
People are always afraid. Even the bravest men in the martial arts world who dare to draw their swords and see blood have times when they fear life and death, let alone a young girl.
I took a deep breath and said, "How about you give me the address and I'll go there myself."
"No!" Jiang Yi flatly refused, "Wu Zhao, now is not the time for you to act chivalrously. Your mission is to protect Shiyu's safety."
"That's right!" Chen Liu followed up, "Brother, don't be so kind! Life and death are determined by fate. It's her destiny that that girl will have a disaster. What will happen if you go? Don't let this ruin your life..."
"Shut up!" I said sternly, "We have to go to the photo studio sooner or later..."
Jiang Yi shouted, "We can't go now! Can you guarantee that nothing will happen if we go there in the middle of the night? Shiyu is shy and embarrassed to say anything, but I can't watch you fooling around!"
"Nonsense?" I couldn't help but let out a hint of coldness in my eyes. "Whether you want to go or not is up to you. Give me the address."
Jiang Yi and Chen Liu were so frightened by my gaze that they dared not speak, but Wang Shiyu whispered, "I'll go with you. I'll drive."
My expression eased a little: "Let's go!"
Chen Liu trotted up and said, "Brother, where are you sitting? What if... I mean, what if a ghost catches up with us, we need someone to resist it!"
This really stumped me.
Once we are attacked in the car, ghosts may appear at any position in the car at any time. Normally, two sorcerers should guard the car, one in front and one in the back, to ensure the safety of the car. Now I am alone, where should I be
Chen Liu whispered: "Why don't we wait until dawn..."
I said coldly, "You sit in the passenger seat and I'll sit in the back. Stop talking nonsense and get in the car."
Both girls have shown hesitation. If I delay any longer, there might be some changes.
After I forced Chen Liu into the passenger seat, Wang Shiyu reluctantly started the car and drove out of the villa area.
At first, we were going smoothly, but soon after, I heard Chen Liu, who was sitting in the passenger seat, say, "Why are there still traffic police on duty in the middle of the night?"
When I turned my head to look at the traffic island, I saw a traffic policeman standing on it. Before I could see the whole face of the other person, Wang Shiyu had already driven the car to the edge of the traffic island: "Mr. Wu, why do I feel like the traffic policeman is looking at me?"
When I glanced sideways, I saw that the traffic policeman was standing upright, rolling his eyes downward, staring at the car condescendingly. Especially the coldness in his eyes, which seemed to penetrate the car door and look at the money for fighting ghosts in my hand.
I only exchanged glances with him, and Wang Shiyu's car had already driven away quickly. Wang Shiyu said with lingering fear: "Xiaoyi, why do I feel like I've seen that traffic policeman somewhere before..." (To be continued)
