The Ghost Shop is not in the business of exorcising ghosts and warding off evil spirits, but is all about helping ghosts solve their problems, so it can be said to be a holy place among ghosts. Besides, I have never offended any customers in the three years since I took over the shop, so it is impossible for ghosts to take revenge wantonly. Could it be that they have no money to spend like the drunkards I met in the underworld, so they come here to steal some things and resell them
It doesn't look like it. Apart from a few broken bottles and cans, everything else is intact and nothing is missing, so this possibility can be ruled out.
I lowered my head and thought again, and suddenly I remembered a ghost. It was her! The one that was driven away from Fu Xueman's house. I almost burned her to death with the True Lord Fire Curse. Before she left, she threatened to take revenge on me. The time was about the same. She was injured by me using the Golden Light Divine Curse and the Chopstick God, and was burned by the True Lord Fire Curse several times. It took at least a month to recover. Now that she has recovered, she came to attack my shop.
I didn't think she was that powerful that day, but she was able to break into my store. This is not something that ordinary ghosts can do. It seems that I really need to be careful with her.
I turned around and saw Shen Bing lying on the table, her hands supporting her chin, her beautiful eyes open, looking at me quietly. She was rarely so quiet, but this revealed a kind of quiet beauty, with a unique charm.
"Do you know who the murderer is?" When she saw me looking at her, she immediately asked with great energy.
"Well, there may be some clues. Maybe they are here to cause trouble." I nodded.
She curled her lips, stood up, looked around and said, "You always say that your shop is full of Taoist magic tools, why don't I see any of them? It would be strange if they can keep away ghosts!"
I couldn't help but laugh. How could an outsider see that? So I pointed at the Azure Dragon and White Tiger at the door and explained to her that the two statues were used to guard the door. My great grandfather had once cast a spell on the statues and offered a talisman. As long as I brought the ghost peach wood tablet with me into the store, the Azure Dragon and White Tiger would rest, and the ghosts could enter and leave the store at will without being harmed. As soon as I left, they woke up and began to guard, and the ghosts could not get in at all.
After saying this, he pointed to the eight small coffins on the beams and said, "I can't just take care of the customers. After the store opens, all the magic tools inside will fail. If there are evil ghosts, I won't be able to resist. But I can't use magic tools that can directly restrain ghosts, so I used the Eight Coffins to suppress ghosts. This is a way to fight yin with yin and poison with poison. It forms a line of defense between me and the table. If the ghost wants to attack me and crosses this line, it will be suppressed by the Eight Coffins to suppress ghosts."
The most powerful one is the magic bottle on the shelf, which contains magic water with thousand-year-old spiritual energy. If you don't get close, the bottle is just an ordinary bottle, motionless. If an evil ghost gets close, the magic water spiritual energy will surge out and turn the ghost into a puff of green smoke.
Shen Bing paced around the store with his hands behind his back, listening to me with great interest. He asked, "The Dharma Bottle is so powerful, is the ghost over?"
I shook my head and said, "From the bottle, it seems that the ghost has escaped. If the ghost is the incarnation of the magic water, there should be black gas at the edge of the bottle mouth, and the smoke that the ghost turned into will eventually fall at this place. The black line on the bottle shows that she was attacked by the magic water's spiritual energy and exhaled ghost gas, so she must have been injured."
Shen Bing asked again: "Don't you have the soul-chasing flag? Why can't you find where the thief ran off to?"
