Ma Qiqi was quite frightened. She was a quiet girl to begin with. After this shock, she couldn't even speak coherently. When she went downstairs to eat, she stuck close to Ge Qing.
She wore a long skirt that reached her feet, revealing a few beautiful toes. The collar wrapped around her neck, hiding the purple marks.
Ge Qing stayed with her the whole time and said to Mao Xiaoli, "I'll sleep with Qiqi tonight."
Mao Xiaoli nodded: "Okay."
At night, a ray of moonlight slipped into the bedroom through the gap in the curtains. Two girls were sleeping on the big bed in the bedroom. The curtains were moving without wind, swaying back and forth, which was very strange.
Ge Qing suddenly opened her eyes and looked towards the window. She found that the curtains were blown by the wind. She felt the wind was strong at first, and then her whole body froze. She remembered clearly that she had closed the doors and windows before going to bed. So why were the curtains moving now
Or did something open the window
Ge Qing swallowed her saliva, not daring to move. She stared at the curtains fluttering in front of her. A shadow appeared there, pitch black, facing her and staring at her.
Blinking, he relieved the soreness from staring for too long. Ge Qing moved his body, suddenly lifted the quilt and turned on the bedside lamp. The light illuminated the entire bedroom, the dancing curtains suddenly stopped, and the shadow disappeared.
Ge Qing didn't dare to relax. He picked up his mobile phone to check the time, then turned around and wanted to ask Ma Qiqi to go to Mao Xiaoli's bedroom to sleep together.
But as soon as she moved, her whole body stiffened.
Something was close to her neck, and it felt rough. She slowly lowered her head to look at her phone, and the scene behind her neck was reflected on the black screen. There was a hemp rope around her neck, tightening as if it had life.
The thing stuck to her back is Ma Qiqi.
Ma Qiqi's eyes rolled up, and the whites of her eyes were all white. Her mouth was wide open to the point of twisting, and her red tongue hung down to her neck. The purple marks on her neck were deeply sunken, almost breaking her neck bones.
Ge Qing took a look and covered his phone in shock, pretending he hadn't noticed anything. "Qiqi, why don't we go find Mao Xiaoli and sleep together?"
"I don't know her and I don't want to sleep with her."
Ge Qing took a deep breath, and suddenly threw the phone at Ma Qiqi's face. He grabbed the hemp rope around his neck with both hands, leaned down, broke free of the rope, and ran towards the bedroom door while shouting, "Help!"
She ran forward hastily, but bumped into something. Ge Qing bounced back and looked up, seeing a pair of legs. Ma Qiqi was hanging in the air, staring at her with a hideous and terrifying look.
A hemp rope appeared in front of Ge Qing, and Ge Qing's struggle slowly stopped. The hemp rope in front of him seemed to have an irresistible attraction, and Ge Qing was confused and gradually put it around his neck.
The hemp rope suddenly tightened, and Ge Qing also woke up. While struggling, the bedroom door was kicked open and two figures jumped in. Chen Yang took off the red string on his wrist and whipped Ma Qiqi who was hanging in the air.
With a scream, a red ghost was whipped out of Ma Qiqi's body. It had a pale face, a hideous face, a tongue that stretched to its chest, a broken neck, and a red glow all over its body. It was obvious that this was a hanged ghost that had killed someone and had become a fierce ghost.
Chen Yang caught Ma Qiqi, laid her on the bed, and took the hemp rope of the hanged ghost off Ge Qing's neck. As for the evil ghost, Kou Xuanling was in charge.
“… As I have requested, assist me in the crusade and destroy it immediately. This is in accordance with the laws of the ghosts in Xuandu. Hurry and obey the orders.” Kou Xuanling made a hand gesture with his left hand, and in his right hand he held a magic tool in the shape of a dice and a six-sided bronze cube, and put the hanged ghost into the tool.
Chen Yang handed Ma Qiqi to Ge Qing, and Ge Qing couldn't help but reach out to feel Ma Qiqi's breath.
"Don't worry. It's just a ghost."
While Ge Qing breathed a sigh of relief, his heart was in his throat again because of this sentence: "I just saw a dark shadow under the curtains. Is that the thing that possessed Qiqi?"
"No. She was possessed during the day."
"What?"
"He is a man of few words, evasive, and on his heels, possessed by a demon."
Ge Qing rubbed his arms: "No way. I thought Qiqi was just scared-"
When she thought about how she had accompanied Ma Qiqi, who was possessed by a ghost, for almost a whole day and had slept in the same bed with her for several hours, she couldn't help but feel scared.
"Why didn't you tell me?"
Chen Yang: "Ma Qiqi is possessed by a hanged ghost. She has a lot of resentment and negative energy. In addition, she has been frightened and her soul is unstable. We must take advantage of the hanged ghost's unpreparedness and whip Ma Qiqi out of her body to ensure that Ma Qiqi's soul will not be dispersed at the same time."
Ma Qiqi was weak, and Chen Yang's red thread could directly whip her soul. If he was not careful, even if he directly shattered one of Ma Qiqi's souls, it would cause problems for Ma Qiqi.
"Will Qiqi have any sequelae?"
"No. Once the problem is resolved, go see a doctor, take care of your body, and get more sun."
Ge Qing thanked her and then focused on taking care of Ma Qiqi.
Chen Yang looked curiously at the dice in Kou Xuanling's hand. It was made of ancient bronze and had scriptures engraved on six sides. He asked, "What's engraved on it?"
"The Law of the Female Blue Ghost."
The Female Green Ghost Law is a classic precept of the Zhengyi School, which records the names of all ghosts and their good and bad fortunes. It was given to Zhang Tianshi by the Supreme Lord Laozi to subdue all ghosts. Originally, the Supreme Lord Laozi could not bear to see evil ghosts and evil spirits causing chaos among the people, so he gave Zhang Tianshi the Female Green Ghost Law to subdue all ghosts.
"Why use dice to pretend ghosts?" Chen Yang remembered that Taoist priests used to use wine jars to catch ghosts. Why is it that dice are popular now
"Convenient." Kou Xuanling said as he tossed the dice, "The wine jars in the past were too big and heavy, and they were fragile and unsafe. Although the ghosts inside could not destroy the wine jars, if they were accidentally dropped on the ground, or a stone hit them, the wine jar would break, and the evil ghosts that were caught with so much difficulty would run away. Moreover, the wine jars were too heavy to carry around."
Chen Yang nodded in agreement. It was indeed inconvenient to use a wine jar to catch ghosts, but the purpose of using a wine jar to catch ghosts was to convert evil spirits. If it was really impossible to convert them, they could only be refined into excellent ghost-catching materials.
"We don't need the Heavenly Master to convert us now," Kou Xuanling waved his hand. "Da Fu can cooperate with the living world and catch the evil ghosts that are causing trouble in the living world. Then just ask the ghost messenger to take them away."
Chen Yang exclaimed: "It's really efficient."
It is indeed a future of win-win cooperation, and even the underworld is no exception.
At this time, Mao Xiaoli hurried over, making a lot of noise but suddenly fell silent when she reached the door. After a long while, Chen Yang and the others heard her mosquito-like voice: "Okay."
Chen Yang couldn't help but laugh and walked out of the bedroom.
Kou Xuanling was quite surprised: "The director has been outside the whole time?"
"Yeah. He followed me out. I told him to handle it myself, so he didn't do anything."
In fact, Du Shuo had no intention of taking action, but he was the director after all. If he could earn merits without doing anything, it would bring trouble to his colleagues. Chen Yang said a few vague words, taking the blame for Du Shuo's reluctance to take action.
Unexpectedly, Kou Xuanling looked at Chen Yang in surprise, which made the latter confused, thinking that his lies had been exposed.
Could it be that Du Shuo's behavior of taking advantage of the situation and doing nothing has already been known to everyone
What Chen Yang didn't know was that when Du Shuo took over this order, many people from the General Administration came to watch. They thought it was a major case that would cause unrest in the country's dragon veins. Kou Xuanling also thought so. When he was chosen to handle the case, he was full of enthusiasm.
Until he discovered that this was just a case that was complex and serious but not even worthy of a two-star list.
Therefore, in his opinion, it was normal for Du Shuo not to take action.
Chen Yang was silent, and decided to go back, close the door, and give Du Shuo a good lesson. At least try harder, don't be lazy and steal too obviously.
When they got out of the door, Chen Yang said to Mao Xiaoli, "Xiaoli, you should stay in the bedroom with Ge Qing and Ma Qiqi tonight."
"No problem." Mao Xiaoli rushed into the bedroom like the wind. She was worried that she could not find an excuse to stay away from Dushuo.
Du Shuo glanced at Chen Yang and found that he was not injured, so he said to Kou Xuanling: "Chen Yang and I will go to the haunted house tomorrow morning. Fang Wenwen will be left to you."
"good."
Kou Xuanling responded, then saw Feng Yuan and Wei Changping coming over following the sound. She seemed to remember something and quickly ran to her bedroom.
Feng Yuan and the other man looked grim and painful upon seeing this.
Chen Yang: "Why...are you suffering from insomnia again?"
Dark circles under eyes, tired look, unsteady steps, obviously lack of sleep.
Feng Yuan sighed, his face indescribable: "Master Chen, you don't understand. Master Kou Tianshi... is too pious."
Chen Yang nodded. Du Shuo said that Kou Xuanling worshipped the ancestor three times a day.
Wei Changping looked distressed: "I opened my eyes in the middle of the night and saw him lighting incense and worshipping the ancestor."
Feng Yuan: "Bathe, burn incense, recite scriptures, and then burn. From three to five in the morning, then get up and practice sword."
They were miserable, all night owls. They would play with their phones in bed until 2 or 3 a.m., and as soon as they closed their eyes, Kou Xuanling would get up and recite scriptures.
I really can't hold on.
Chen Yang's face was full of admiration: "Master Kou studied hard and practiced diligently, no wonder he was promoted to the Five Thunders at such a young age."
There was a lot of admiration in his words.
Feng Yuan and the other person collapsed.
"You can go to bed early."
Du Shuo suddenly put his arm around Chen Yang's shoulders and said, "Go back to sleep."
Chen Yang said obediently: "I'm going back to my room. You don't have to stay in the same room with Master Kou. If you see a ghost, just shout for help."
After saying that, Du Shuo took her back to her room.
Feng Yuan and Wei Changping looked at each other and said, "Master Du and Master Chen have a really good relationship."
"We've slept together before, I guess." Wei Changping said absentmindedly, "Do you think we should talk to Ge Qing about letting us go in and sleep on the floor?"
Feng Yuan was silent, then went to knock on the door.
They were a few steps late and didn't know what had just happened. When they found out, they both shuddered.
Ge Qing asked: "What else do you have to do?"
Feng Yuan shook his head: "No, it's okay."
Ge Qing slammed the door.
Feng Yuan: "Thinking about it carefully, I feel extra safe with the Grandmaster by my side."
"Then let's go back?"
"Um."
