"As expected."
Zhong Jiudao threw Shen Leshan away, and everything made sense.
The heavenly master who trapped countless evil ghosts in this villa was none other than Luo Huai's great-grandfather.
In order to take revenge and for the sake of justice for his family and country, he violated the rules of the Heavenly Master World and raised ghosts to harm people. At the same time, he paid the price by feeding ghosts with his own body, but he never thought of letting these powerful ghosts harm the world.
He must be a master of deduction, and he can single-handedly figure out the direction of events decades from now, leave notes for future generations, and end everything here in Luo Huai.
But Luo Huai definitely does not have the strength to surpass these evil ghosts. He is just born with the luck to restrain these evil ghosts. He can always make the evil ghosts get into trouble by accident and want to completely resolve the grievances decades ago. It's absolutely impossible to do it with Luo Huai's strength.
Zhong Jiudao couldn't help but think, if this is the case, is he also a part of his destiny
He rented this villa cheaply and met these evil spirits. With the help of evil spirits, Luo Huai, Qian Duoqun and others, he completed the first movie in his life, taking a step forward towards his dream. And if the celestial master in 2008 didn't put the evil ghost in the villa and turn it into a haunted house, Zhong Jiudao would have to show up to raise funds for his first movie.
Somehow, Zhong Jiudao also formed a karma with the heavenly master, and he was also an important link in the karma.
The elders of the Zhong family often lamented that the legendary heavenly masters in the early years were as powerful as and as powerful as , and that in the age of the end of the Dharma, each generation is not as good as the last. Zhong Jiudao has never seen the strength of the senior Celestial Master and will not comment on this. Until this moment, he was able to glimpse the tip of the iceberg of his predecessor's strength, and was able to calculate the hazy destiny decades later, and lay out a perfect game. Even if he died many years ago, he would still influence future generations.
According to Zhong Jiudao's speculation, it should be like this. The ghost left behind by the Heavenly Master helped him realize his dream and change the future of the Heavenly Master world in the end of the Dharma era, and he helped Luo Huai end the cause and effect that lasted for decades. Wash away the sins of these evil spirits and resolve their grievances.
In this case, after painting the skin, the most suitable person to help him control these evil spirits should be Luo Huai, only Luo Huai can do it.
Zhong Jiudao nodded secretly.
When Shen Leshan saw that Director Zhong seemed to be wandering, he quietly walked around him and floated gently to the wall, hoping to escape from the room through the wall.
Zhong Jiudao looked down at the bed and saw a paper man on Shen Leshan's bed. The paper man was full of black air and had the word "clock" written on it.
"What is this?" Zhong Jiudao looked at Shen Leshan.
Shen Leshan, who was halfway through the wall, smiled awkwardly: "Director Zhong, this is what I do when I'm bored. I don't have to sleep at night. I'm lonely and unbearable at night, so I play some games to kill time."
Zhong Jiudao picked up the paper man and saw a piece of hair wrapped around him. He realized after a moment that it was his own hair. It was probably the fallen hair that Shen Leshan picked up while playing a variety show.
"You cursed me to kill?" Zhong Jiudao asked.
"How could it be?" Shen Leshan raised his hands, "Director Zhong's magic power is so strong. Not only will the curse-killing technique not hurt you, it will also backfire on the caster himself. Am I not seeking death by doing this? Hahaha... "
His awkward laughter made Zhong Jiudao even more sure that Shen Leshan was taking advantage of the time when his mana was gone to cast the spell. Only during this time would the spell not backfire on Shen Leshan. At the same time, it would also It will make Zhong Jiudao's mana unable to recover for a long time.
Generally, evil ghosts are absolutely unable to use the magic of the Celestial Master, but it is not uncommon for villa ghosts to be able to perform magic if they have eaten the flesh and blood of the Celestial Master. He is a fierce ghost with a very strong yin energy. He only needs to bring the spell into his body and it will take effect.
Shen Leshan must have discovered that Zhong Jiudao's magic power was weakened after setting up the formation today, so he took the risk and took the opportunity to steal Zhong Jiudao's hair during the variety show and wait until the dead of night to perform the spell.
But it happened that he was so unlucky. Zhong Jiudao found out about Luo Huai's background tonight and ran to Shen Leshan Room, the most cultured house in the whole villa, to inquire. The matter of the spell had just begun. Zhong Jiudao was discovered by Zhong Jiudao. Found.
This is the restraint of luck. No matter what these evil ghosts want to do, as long as Luo Huai is involved, they will definitely be suppressed.
The scene was extremely awkward for a moment, and Shen Leshan asked: "Director Zhong, can you listen to my explanation?"
Zhong Jiudao was very calm. He saw a book "The Complete Collection of Folk Spells" on the table. He didn't know where Shen Leshan got this book. It didn't even have a publication number. It was obviously illegal. printed matter.
Zhong Jiudao smiled at Shen Leshan: "Since you like reading, just wander in the sea of books."
After saying that, he took out five rings from his pocket, held them in his right hand, and drew a ghost pattern unique to Shen Leshan in the void with his left hand. The mana in the rings he had left before was transferred from his right hand to the fingertips of his left hand, and was injected into Shen Leshan bit by bit. Among the ghost patterns in Leshan.
Shen Leshan had no time to struggle, so he turned it into a piece of paper. Zhong Jiudao extracted Shen Leshan's ghost pattern from the ghost servant paper figurine and injected it into the book. Shen Leshan's soul was then absorbed into the book. Zhong Jiudao sealed the book.
After completing the seal, Zhong Jiudao spread his hands and the five rings turned into powder.
All things have animism, and all items in the world can hold mana. It's just that the amount of mana that plastic can hold is too little, and it will break after a little use.
Zhong Jiudao walked into the bathroom with the book, threw it under the faucet and soaked for a while. After the book was completely soaked, Zhong Jiudao took the book to the roof of the villa, which is the place with the longest sunshine time. , no matter how lush the surrounding trees are, they can't block the sunshine here.
Press a stone against the book to prevent Shen Leshan from being blown away by the wind.
"The book is too wet. Let it dry in the sun." Zhong Jiudao said.
Shen Leshan could not speak, and there was only the sound of the pages of the book "squeaking" and "squeaking" automatically without any wind.
After passing Shen Leshan, Zhong Jiudao went downstairs. He probably felt the tragic ending of Shen Leshan. He knew that Director Zhong could crush him to death even if he lost all his magic power. Li Gui was very calm. Stay in the room behind closed doors.
Zhong Jiudao came to the second floor and handed the paper man with the word "clock" on it to Zhong Hongyan: "I can't use magic power for the time being. What you did has removed the yin energy from this paper man."
"Zhong? This hair..." Zhong Hongyan looked at the length of Zhong Jiudao's hair and said in surprise, "Someone put a curse on you?"
"It's been resolved." Zhong Jiudao said calmly.
Zhong Hongyan said that he must deal with the paper man as soon as possible, and he quickly chanted a spell to remove the yin energy. He chanted the spell several times and finally induced a real fire, which ignited the paper man and burned it until half of the fire was extinguished.
Zhong Hongyan had no choice but to continue chanting the mantra breathlessly, shouting "burn" several times to the half-cut paper man, and the paper man started to burn again and turned into ashes little by little.
After doing all this, Zhong Hongyan was so exhausted that he sat down on the ground and said as if he was almost exhausted: "This evil spirit is so deep. Just a piece of paper has such a strong Yin energy, and the physical strength is even worse." It’s unimaginable!”
Zhong Jiu said: "..."
At this time, the roof was exposed to wind, sun and rain.
Due to the huge disparity in strength, he rarely exorcises ghosts with his peers from the Zhong family. He only knew that Zhong Hongyan and others had poor magic power, but he did not expect that they could be so poor!
It was just a paper figure that Shen Leshan had just begun to curse, and the spells on it were not strong enough to harm Zhong Jiudao. Is it so difficult to deal with Zhong Hongyan? Zhong Jiudao could usually burn the paper figurine by blowing on it, but Zhong Hongyan spent half an hour!
No wonder the elders of the Zhong family are so worried every day that their hair turns gray all over the mountain. After a hundred years of his generation, what will the rest of the Zhong family do
"I'm so sleepy..." Zhong Hongyan's lower eyelids were fighting and he almost fainted.
"Go to sleep." Zhong Jiudao couldn't bear to look directly at him and waved him away.
As for the roof of Shen Leshan's house, these ghosts will probably not cause trouble tonight.
It was already two o'clock in the morning, Zhong Jiudao couldn't hold on even if he was strong. He yawned and was about to go back to Luo Huai's room to sleep. When he walked to the door, he saw Luo Huai's half exposed body. Look around with your head.
"What are you looking at?" Zhong Jiu asked, tapping his forehead.
"Waiting for you to come back." Luo Huai said.
Director Zhong was very mysterious tonight. Sometimes he was sitting in the room thinking about things, sometimes he was asking about his family situation, and sometimes he ran out to chat with his cousin Zhong Hongyan on the second floor. After chatting for a few words, Zhong Hongyan seemed to be on fire. , it looked like he had smoked two cigarettes from a distance, and then Zhong Hongyan fainted. Director Zhong asked his cousin to go back to sleep, and then returned to the room.
Luo Huai connected this series of things together and imagined in his mind that Director Zhong liked him. After asking about his family situation, he seriously considered the possibility of the two of them getting together. Then he went out to discuss with his cousin. After smoking melancholy, I couldn't bear to faint. Director Zhong didn't know what to do when faced with this situation.
"What are you thinking about?" In front of the bed, Zhong Jiudao saw Luo Huai staring at the ceiling motionless, with a variety of emotions in his eyes, as if a bloody drama was playing on the ceiling.
Zhong Jiudao looked at the ceiling, but there was nothing.
"No, it's nothing!" Luo Huai shook his head and threw away all the love and hatred in his mind. He patted his cheek hard twice, turned around and asked, "Director Zhong, why are you worried about something tonight?" Solve it?"
"The worries about the future development of our company are almost solved." Zhong Jiudao said.
Seeing Luo Huai looking at him, Zhong Jiudao realized that he might have seen him chatting with Zhong Hongyan for a long time. He thought about it and said, "I just chatted with my cousin for a while, and he said he wanted to meet someone online." My girlfriend needs an advance on her salary, so I plan to give him some of the variety show fees paid by the program team, and I won’t tell him.”
"You said he has an online girlfriend. She's pretty good-looking, but she seems a bit..." Luo Huai realized that he shouldn't comment on Zhong Hongyan's girlfriend so he shut up. .
"Do you know about him?" Zhong Jiudao asked.
Luo Huai nodded: "Zhongsuke chatted with me during the day and repeatedly asked me about my relationship with you. I said it was the relationship between an ordinary director and an actor. Then he felt relieved and said that you have a better relationship at home. Being conservative may not be acceptable. Then he looked very melancholy and talked about his online girlfriend. He said that he was worried that his family would not accept his girlfriend when he went to meet her after the first episode of the variety show. "
Zhong Jiu said: "Next time he asks you, you tell him that my relationship is more than just a director and an actor."
"!" Luo Huai's eyes were round, not surprised, but looking at Zhong Jiudao with a little expectancy.
"I should be a partner," Zhong Jiudao said. "I thought about it. You are responsible for the first movie and the establishment of the company. When the movie was the most difficult to get off the shelves, it was you. Use the salary from "The Tomb of Swords" to provide living expenses for your family, so that they can survive for a while. You are a veteran of this company, and the company is developing well. You should not be just an employee. I will re-write the contract with you and give you a share of the company."
Luo Huai breathed a sigh of relief, and looked a little disappointed. He glanced at Zhong Jiudao, lowered his head and said, "I don't own the shares of this company. You are the one who supported this company. How can I be like this?" sharp."
"No, you can help me take care of the actors from now on," Zhong Jiudao said.
Now that Li Gui is controlled by Luo Huai, we can't just let Luo Huai do dangerous things without benefiting others.
Zhong Jiu said: "Tomorrow I will re-draw the contract. If you don't agree, you have to agree. We don't need to talk about this matter anymore. What happened to Zhong Hongyan's girlfriend?"
"Director Zhong, you are so overbearing," Luo Huai muttered, "When he mentioned this matter, I asked him about the details. He seemed to be under a lot of pressure, so he told me the matter. He finally It started with a girlfriend I met when I was looking for material suitable for editing on the Internet. It was a music app that Brother Jiang often used... "
"Do you know this music app?" Zhong Jiudao vaguely felt that something was wrong.
Luo Huai nodded: "He said that he had been chatting with his girlfriend on the app for eight or nine months and had been friends for eight or nine months. He expressed his desire to be together, but the other party disappeared for seven or eight days. He When he begged the other party for an answer, his girlfriend came back and added him as a friend on social media accounts. The two began to video frequently, and gradually their relationship became more and more intimate. He decided that this person was his future wife. ”
"It sounds like there's nothing wrong with it," Zhong Jiudao said.
Luo Huai said: "Director Zhong, I read a little bit of his chat history, and I think that after his girlfriend disappeared for a period of time, there may have been someone else under the account."
He opened the app, found the account information of his "girlfriend" and said: "Look at her posts. For a long time, she was talking about the joy of raising fish. Suddenly, seven days later, it became The literary and artistic signature that saddens spring and autumn. I checked the forum later and found that this account once posted a post on the forum: "Fish farming overturned and the account was abandoned." I thought, she Was her account hacked after she abandoned it? Even if her account wasn't hacked, Zhongsuke might have been injured, and she might not want to get married. "
"What does fish farming mean?" Zhong Jiudao asked.
Luo Huai stared at Zhong Jiudao for a while, silently looking for the vocabulary explanation in this regard, and pointed it out to Zhong Jiudao: "It means he is having an affair with several people at the same time. These people are all pools." The fish in it.”
"I understand, the emotional relationship is more complicated." Zhong Jiudao said.
He doesn't know that his cousin was deceived. People always experience emotional hurt. He has seen many evil ghosts and heart-wrenching love from , and Zhong Hongyan has suffered This kind of injury is simply ordinary. After all, it is not really heartbreaking. At least the person is alive.
What Zhong Jiu said was the time when the music app and his online girlfriend's account were hacked. The time when his girlfriend disappeared and reappeared was really coincidental. It happened to be the same time that Jiang Fen came to the villa.
After Jiang Fen came to the villa, Zhong Jiudao reluctantly bought a second-hand mobile phone and put it on the third floor in order to allow him to compose music with peace of mind, so that he could communicate with the ghosts upstairs.
My cousin and his girlfriend met through this music software, and the timing was so coincidental. It happened that Luo Huai discovered the problem with his cousin's girlfriend.
Tonight, Luo Huai's life experience made Zhong Jiudao understand. There are many coincidences, and they may not be coincidences, especially when it concerns Luo Huai.
"I'll go find..."
Zhong Jiudao was about to go to the third floor to find Jiang Fen, but was interrupted by a scream coming from the corridor on the second floor.
"Ahhh!" A staff member from the one-person program rushed into the corridor and shouted, "I saw him on the computer. It's him, it's him! The original composer who committed suicide! "
