As expected, when I turned around, I saw Xiaoxue standing outside the gate, with her head down and a look of resentment on her face. Seeing her like this, my heart couldn't help but thump. She seemed to be irritated. If she started fighting, I wonder if the three of us could handle her together
Lu Fei and Shen Bing both knew that I saw Xiaoxue, and they looked in the direction I was looking with panic, but they didn't have their Yin-Yang eyes, and Xiaoxue didn't reveal her figure, so they couldn't see anything.
"Hmph, can you stop me from entering with just tricks like the Qingshui gate and the evil-repelling talisman?" Xiaoxue raised her cold and ferocious face, her long hair fluttering in the cold wind, making her look particularly weird and terrifying.
I clutched the eight copper coins helplessly and said, "This is the work of the ghosts, and has nothing to do with the living. I can't just watch you kill innocent people. You are my great grandfather's junior sister, and an elder I respect very much. I don't want to fight with you either, but I really have no choice."
"I thought you were very smart, but now it seems you are a stupid fool. The little girl is only two years old, what can she know? If their family hadn't instigated an unscrupulous sorcerer, why would they have gone to find a scapegoat? Their whole family should be killed, and that unscrupulous sorcerer should be killed too!" Xiaoxue said gritting her teeth.
Except for the last sentence, what she said made sense. What could a ghost know about a child of that age? If someone hadn't instigated her, she wouldn't have gone to Tanzi Village to harm a child of her own age. I touched my nose and said, "Not all of her family members are bad people. They wouldn't have wiped out the whole family. If you believe me, I can help you find out who came up with the idea and I guarantee you a satisfactory result."
Xiaoxue shook her head and said sternly, "I don't have that patience. I'm going to kill their entire family and let them know what the consequences are of finding a scapegoat!"
I couldn't help but worry. She was too resentful now and had lost her mind. She wouldn't listen to my advice at all. What should I do? The charm treasure was taken away, and the Qingming Arrow turned back into the ghost of the old Taoist Xuanzhen. Since leaving Lanzhou, I couldn't find where the old bastard was hiding. Besides, even if the Qingming Arrow could be used, I couldn't do such a cruel thing to her, and I didn't know if the Taiyi Messenger Curse and the Thunder and Fire could stop her.
Just when I was worried, Xiaoxue smiled at me coldly and said, "For Xicheng's sake, I won't fight with you tonight, but if you try to stop me again tomorrow night, don't blame me for being rude!" As she spoke, she shook her body and floated towards the west, disappearing into the darkness in an instant.
I was relieved immediately. If I were given one day, I would find a way to solve this problem. Since Xiaoxue was speaking to me in an invisible way, the sound was only audible to me. Lu Fei and Shen Bing could only hear me talking, but not Xiaoxue's voice. When the cold wind dissipated, both of them anxiously asked what Xiaoxue had said and why she had left.
I sighed and repeated Xiaoxue's words, then said to Lu Fei, "At dawn, you notify the owner of this house that everyone must wear amulets, preferably Buddhist ones. Taoist instruments probably can't stop Xiaoxue. Also, make a circle of ghost foot nails around the villa, place eight coffins in the villa to suppress ghosts, and place statues of the four spirits in the spirit shed and outside the house. Remember to consecrate them. In this way, even if I can't think of a way to resolve this resentment, Xiaoxue will break through three levels in a row, and her ghost essence will probably be damaged. Then you use the Nine-Character Mantra and I'll use the Taiyi Messenger Curse, and we should be able to take her down!"
Shen Bing stuck out her tongue and said, "It's so complicated to deal with Xiaoxue, is she that powerful?"
Lu Fei wiped his nose and said, "You are a ghost ancestor of the same generation as Brother Xi's great grandfather. Do you think he can be powerful?"
"Just do as I say. Let's go back. I'll contact you tomorrow when I figure out a solution."
We parted ways with Lu Fei and rode our electric bikes instead of going home, and went straight to the store. It was so cold that our bodies were almost stiff and our hands were out of control. After we sat around the charcoal brazier for a while, we felt a little warmer and looked at the watch. It was already two o'clock.
Shen Bing asked me what method I was thinking of. I told her that one way was to ask the dead rat. If it couldn't do anything, I would have to find the Seventh Master and the Eighth Master to see if they could bring Xiaoxue back to the underworld.
Who knew that after chanting the spell eight times, the dead rat didn't appear, and he was so angry that he wanted to smash the bronze mirror. If he couldn't find it, he would look for the seventh and eighth masters. But without their tokens, he didn't know how to call them out. After thinking for a long time, he suddenly came up with an idea, took out a small white flag, and called Lin Mengxi out.
Since the shape-changing surgery, they have not been allowed to come out. This is the first time they have met in a few months. Not only did Lin Mengxi come out, but San Ya, Xia Muchun and the pointy-headed ghost also poked their heads out.
"Grandpa, aunt, you finally remembered us. I thought you didn't want us anymore!" The pointed-headed ghost said excitedly, with tears flashing in his eyes.
San Ya also rubbed against Shen Bing's arms, hugged her neck and said: "I miss you so much!"
Xia Muchun still looked the same, smiling but saying nothing, but his expression revealed a look of joy.
"Go back, Xifeng has something to talk to me about, so don't get in the way!" Lin Mengxi didn't wait for me to speak, and pushed the pointy-headed ghost back, and also drove Xia Muchun and Sanya back to the flag. With a smile, he asked, "What do you want to talk to me about?"
Oh my god, we haven't even had time to bond, but you sent them all back and came here alone to compete for your favor? This little ghost, among the four ghosts, is the smartest.
"I want you to go to the underworld and meet the Seventh and Eighth Masters..."
Just as I said this, Lin Mengxi suddenly got his upper body back into the flag, dragged the pointed-headed ghost out, and said to him: "My master asked you to go to the underworld and meet the Seventh Master and the Eighth Master. You can ask him what the specific matter is. I'll be back first." After saying that, he went back in a flash!
Shen Bing and I couldn't help but look at each other in amazement. When did Lin Mengxi learn to be so slick
"Master, you know I have never been to the underworld. I don't even know how to get there, let alone find the Seventh and Eighth Masters. Let's leave this matter to Xia Muchun!" said the pointed-headed ghost with a bitter face.
Xia Muchun has never been to the underworld, he is not as good as you. I slammed the table in anger, which scared Shen Bing.
"Lin Mengxi, come out!" I shouted angrily.
Lin Mengxi crawled out from the flag, looked at me timidly and said, "You know I'll be in trouble if I go back to the underworld. If they see me, forget about coming back."
"It's all right now. That group of evil ghosts have been driven out of the underworld. You can go back without worry. Tell the Seventh and Eighth Masters to come out and meet me immediately. I need their help with an urgent matter." I said with a sullen face.
"Oh, then I... go." Lin Mengxi agreed reluctantly, and I opened the door for her and floated out.
After closing the door, the pointy-headed ghost began to tell tales: "Master, you don't know that during the time you were away, Lin Mengxi was so arrogant. She always teamed up with San Ya and Xia Muchun to bully me. Master, you should discipline her."
Shen Bing and I couldn't help but burst out laughing. Back then, this guy entered the flag and bullied the three female ghosts. Now the situation has reversed and they are bullying him instead. I can't do anything about this. If he turns the tables, the three female ghosts will have no chance of survival.
