"The truth of the matter has not yet been revealed, so don't think too much about it for now. Once everything is clear, you will know what to do!" I patted him on the shoulder and said.
"But when will the truth come out?" Lu Fei asked with a troubled look on his face.
"After catching this evil spirit and defeating the five ghosts, I think whatever secrets there are will come to light."
Lu Fei nodded trustingly and looked at me with gratitude.
In the morning, Shen Bing and the others were surprised to see us both back. Didn't they say they would wait until Brother Lu Fei was buried before returning? They were all ready, and let Su Yao be the director to go to the nearby scenic spots. I said that in the middle of winter, it was almost like a skinned dead fish, what was there to see? The situation was not optimistic in the next two days, and no one should run around.
Shen Bing pouted and said, "You are the only one who is disgusting and talkative. What skinned dead fish? It looks like a skinned dried corpse to me!"
Oh, don’t you feel more disgusted than me
I asked Wang Zijun to go to a nearby pharmacy to buy a syringe. Shen Bing had been to the hospital before, and we also had injections in our training. So Shen Bing drew a tube of blood from her arm and another from Qu Mo, and put them in a plastic bottle. This was prepared for fishing for evil spirits tonight.
In order to see the evil spirit clearly at night, prevent it from hiding and ensure our safety, Wang Zijun went out to buy some thin bamboo poles and white paper, incense sticks, glue, brushes and oil paints. He cut the bamboo poles into pieces of equal length, tied them with ropes to form lantern keels, and pasted white paper on the outside to make four white paper lanterns.
White lanterns are only lit for the dead, but the lanterns I made are very particular, called "Four Spirits Sky Lanterns"! Why are they white? This is not finished yet, I used a brush dipped in oil paint to draw the images of the Four Spirits on each lantern. I am not exaggerating, because I often draw talismans, and I am very skilled in using the brush, and the images are lifelike.
"How is it?" I threw the brush on the table and asked them with my hands on my hips.
They all stretched their heads to look, but they just blinked and said nothing. However, Shen Bing didn't give them face and pointed at a lantern and said, "What is this thing that looks like a mouse?"
I almost fainted. Is that a mouse? Please, sister, is that a black turtle? Even if you don't know it, the Four Spirits must know it, right? Among the Four Spirits, only the black turtle is black. Can't you see that there is no color added on it
She was not finished yet, and pointed to another lamp and asked, "What is this thing that looks like a caterpillar?"
We all fainted. I know my drawing skills are not good enough, but I can't let Qinglong look like a caterpillar!
We acted together tonight, but Su Yao was the only one not called. Besides, she didn't know that Lu Fei and I had returned to the city. We waited until midnight and drove to the east of the city. Damn it, it started snowing heavily again. But snowing is also good, there are fewer trucks on the road, which makes it easier for us to move around.
Lu Fei and Shen Bing watched the car, while Wang Zijun, Qu Mo and I went to the field and ran to a place 30 meters away from the small temple. There happened to be a small, bare, crooked tree there. We hung four lanterns on the branches according to the four directions of the spirits, inserted candles in the lanterns, and pasted talismans inside.
This is a simple arrangement of the Four Spirits Sky Lantern Formation. I asked Qu Mo to take a "Spiritual General Summoning Talisman" and ingot incense and candles and retreat twenty meters. I taught her the spell and method of activating the Sky Lantern Formation. This is not a unique skill of the Ghost Shop, so it does not count as a violation of the ancestral rules.
Then I took the half bottle of blood, poured half of it under the sky lantern array, and walked towards the small temple with Wang Zijun, scattering blood drops along the way as a guide. As the distance got closer, I suddenly felt very nervous and also found it very fun. It reminded me of the time when I was a child catching fish with Ermao, and ended up catching an evil ghost, so Ermao lost his life.
The evil spirit today is not comparable to the dead ghost back then. If things go wrong, Wang Zijun and I might lose our lives. How can you not be nervous
