There was nothing delicious in the countryside, but Zhao Tinghua's cooking skills were not much worse than my mother's. She made a common dish more delicious than delicacies from land and sea. We had three bottles of white wine, half of which I drank, and returned to Shangcheng Town in a daze.
Lu Fei didn't drink because he drove to Shangcheng Town and said he wanted to take Ma Yunxi to Taihang Mountain before we got off the car. I didn't dare to leave. If something happened in Shuiliu Village, it would delay us. Shen Bing and I got off the car and let them go.
Shen Bing helped her mother fry chestnuts and cook peanuts, while I fell asleep in the bed until the evening.
After dinner, I chatted with Shen Bing until eleven o'clock, and then went to open the store. As soon as I sat on the chair, a dark shadow stood outside the door and knocked on the door lightly, "knock knock... knock knock...", three long and two short, this is the code I am familiar with.
I was startled. Why did this person come? I stood up and took down another door panel to let him in. He sat down on my seat without any courtesy, staring at me solemnly without saying a word. I was shocked to find that there was a bright red scar on this old face, which ran diagonally from the temple to the bridge of the nose and to the right cheek.
"Boss Gu, long time no see, are you okay?" I stared at the scar on his face and thought it would never heal, so what I was asking was nonsense.
Boss Gu is a man in his fifties, working as a cultural relic broker in the provincial capital. This is a euphemism, but in fact he is a black marketeer who resells antiques. In the past, either he would collect the black pearls made or I would deliver them. We are very familiar with each other, and he was also a big customer of my father when he was alive.
After the corpse-raising incident, he never showed up again. I thought he was also killed by that bitch, but less than two years later, he showed up again.
Boss Gu nodded and said, "It's not bad. I was almost killed by the zombies the winter before last, but I survived and recovered from my injuries in the Northeast for more than a year."
Oh, so that's how it is. Looking at the scars on his face, you can tell that he must have been seriously injured. This old guy is lucky to have survived the zombie.
"Boss Gu, we don't have the goods on hand right now. Please leave your contact information and I will send them to you when the goods are available." My current supplier is the authentic antique dealer provided by Lao Yan, so I don't plan to get involved with this kind of black marketeer again.
"I'm not here to collect the goods today, but to inform you that someone has set their sights on you and is secretly using the 'stealing ghost' technique to use a ghost to deal with you. Your father was very troubled by this technique and was never able to crack it, so you better be careful."
After saying this, Boss Gu stood up, walked around the table, and went out. I know this man has a strange temper. He is usually serious and never says goodbye when he leaves.
I watched his back disappear from the doorway, thinking to myself that this old man seemed to know a lot, and even knew sorcery. Not only that, it seemed that he had a special relationship with my father, and he knew all the problems my father had encountered. I was thinking about flipping through the book of Shanyuan Gong's Great Infinite Art to see what the Stealing Ghost Generation was.
At this moment, I heard Boss Gu groaning outside, followed by a crackling noise. I thought something was wrong, so I took a handful of copper coins from my pocket and rushed out the door.
I saw Boss Gu more than 30 meters away to the east, holding his chest with his left hand and pinching the magic formula with his right hand, urging a copper coin array to operate. Damn, the old guy is actually an orthodox heavenly master. Look at how he played the copper coin array. There is a faint red light flashing in the yellow light. That means his Taoist cultivation has reached a certain level, which is much stronger than mine.
The yellow light was like thunderbolt, with a loud crackling sound. There must be a ghost nearby. I didn't open my yin-yang eyes, so I couldn't see the whereabouts of the ghost, but I saw a trail of blood on the ground outside the light circle. The yellow light was still flashing, which meant that the ghost didn't seem to have left. Damn it, what kind of ghost is so powerful
I hurried over to Boss Gu, and he gritted his teeth and said to me, "You take over the copper coin array. I need to recover my energy."
Blood was flowing down his chest, and it seemed that he had been ambushed, so without saying anything, he chanted a spell and took over the copper coin array. Boss Gu's legs immediately softened, and he sat cross-legged on the ground and closed his eyes.
Although the buddy didn't have the boss's high cultivation, he had a lot of experience in exorcising ghosts. He knew that the yellow light alone was enough to resist the evil ghosts, and there was no need to worry about the ghosts breaking through the defense line. While activating the formation, he bit his left finger, wiped the copper coin in his palm, and threw it in the direction of the flashing yellow light.
The evil ghost was also injured and was trying his best to resist the copper coin array. This blood copper coin might have killed it. Sure enough, the copper coins hit a wall and fell to the ground. The evil ghost groaned and then revealed his figure. Under the bright yellow light, his pale ghost face was covered with blood, looking quite hideous and terrifying.
Damn, it’s Chen Ming!
"Is it you?" I couldn't help but shout.
Chen Ming glared at me viciously, and then disappeared. The yellow light on the copper coin array disappeared, and he was gone!
I took the copper coins and looked down at the boss. At this time, he opened his eyes and stood up. Although his face was still pale, he seemed to have recovered his vitality. He took a deep breath and said, "I'm leaving. This ghost is very fierce. You have to be careful."
"Mr. Gu..."
As soon as I called out two words, he hurriedly ran into the darkness and I could no longer see him.
Back at the store, I wondered, Chen Ming is just an ordinary ghost, when did he become so powerful? The look in his eyes just now was particularly creepy. Then I thought that he and Fu Xueman were in the same group, and he must have been trained by that mysterious master. Maybe, it was some kind of stealth ghost technique.
So I took out the book and opened it to read. I found that the body-stealing ghost is a kind of ghost reporting sect. The method of training evil ghosts at first is similar to the twelve transformations of the ghosts. Both cover the corpse with white paper, but the subsequent process is different. The practitioner must sneak his own yang soul into the ghost body. On the outside, it looks like Chen Ming, but in fact, the real master of the ghost body is the practitioner. This is similar to the twelve transformations of the ghosts who place themselves in the body of living people.
No wonder Chen Ming became so fierce, it turned out that he merged with the Yang soul of the magician. This was different from the way I used the method of refining the spirit to return to the void to enter the soul of the female ghost Sheng Yanyan. That was just the consciousness in the dream, and it still needed to be maintained by the underworld. This was directly adding the Yang soul to the ghost soul, controlling the ghost body, as if it were an arm, very smooth, the combination of the two is simply infinitely powerful!
If Boss Gu hadn't injured the opponent with the copper coin array that emitted red light, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to resist. A master like Boss Gu was ambushed, so you can imagine how powerful the stealing ghost technique is. Fortunately, Chen Ming was injured by Boss Gu, which gave me a chance to breathe, otherwise I would be unable to deal with the evil ghost corpse!
