After Luo Huai's bracelet turned into powder, Luo's father and mother didn't know what to do for a moment.
"Fortunately, we always have sedatives at home just in case, otherwise Luo Huai might have run away just now." Luo's father wiped the sweat from his forehead.
The purpose of the sedative is not just to make Luo Huai sleepy. Sometimes people who lose consciousness are more likely to be possessed by ghosts. The sedative is to stabilize Luo Huai's emotions so that he will not be agitated by the voices outside. Sleepiness is just a side effect.
Luo's father controlled the dosage very well, and Luo Huai would wake up in about two hours. Of course, if he just slept until dawn, it was possible, after all, it was already night.
The two men carried Luo Huai to the sofa, and Luo's father stared breathlessly at the old ghost on the other side of the sofa.
He carefully took away the old ghost's scarf and slippers and packed them in a garbage bag. He planned to find an opportunity to burn these two things in the garbage tomorrow to prevent others from picking them up and getting sick from the negative energy attached to them.
"What should he do?" asked Luo's mother.
Luo's father analyzed based on his rich knowledge of heavenly masters: "I think he followed Luo Huai home, maybe it was related to this bracelet. Didn't Luo Huai recognize him later? This old man is the father of Director Zhong who worked with him, and the bracelet was given to him by Director Zhong. Didn't this old man get mad at his son during the New Year's quarrel, saying he didn't want to go home, and then he was attracted by the bracelet and went home with Luo Huai?"
"Oh, the old man fainted just now because Luo Huai mentioned the bracelet." Luo's mother said, "But why would an old man be so angry that his son died after a quarrel over a bracelet that he would chase us to our house to ask for the bracelet?"
"Yes, the rope just now was also tied to the bracelet. The bracelet disappeared shortly after it was tied on." Father Luo's tone became heavier as he spoke.
Although they are young, they have seen many ghosts with Luo Huai and have a wide range of knowledge.
Especially after Luo Huai entered the entertainment industry, they also inquired about many things in the entertainment industry and knew that the industry was chaotic. They were not worried that Luo Huai was harmed by ghosts, but they were somewhat worried that someone was plotting against Luo Huai.
"Director Zhong asked Luo Luo to star in two dramas in a row, signed him to his company, arranged so much work for him, and gave him such a valuable bracelet," said Luo's mother.
Luo's father: "Because of the bracelet, Director Zhong had a quarrel with his father during the Chinese New Year, and his father was so angry that he died."
The two looked at each other and were about to express their guess when they heard someone knocking on the door.
This night was terrifying. Luo's father and mother did not dare to act rashly. Luo's father ran to the door first, looked through the peephole, and saw a tall, handsome and very safe man standing in front of him.
"I've seen this man before. It seems to be Director Zhong. Luo Luo sent me a photo." Luo's father whispered to Luo's mother, "Why did he come here suddenly?"
Luo's mother: "Did Luo Huai call him before? Did he come to pick up his father?"
"Open the door?" asked Luo's father.
Luo's mother: "After all, he is leader Luo Huai. Our guess may not be true. Maybe he is just impressed by our Luo Luo's good acting skills and good luck. He will definitely be famous in the future. He is a guest. Why don't we open the door? Maybe he can take his father away. Otherwise, do we have to keep him here for the New Year?"
Father Luo thought about it and acquiesced.
Luo's mother took a step forward and opened the door. There was nothing inside. Her expression was frozen. Didn't her husband just say that someone was there
"Where are the people?" Luo's mother looked left and right, but there was no one.
Luo's father watched as Zhong Jiudao circumvented Luo's mother and then him, holding the rope in his hand, and walked into the room along the rope.
"No one here? Has he left?" Luo's mother asked her husband.
At this time, she heard someone talking in the room: "Father, you came here in the middle of the night. Fortunately, you met Luo Huai, otherwise you would be in big trouble."
It was the voice of a young man. As a mother, she would never miss any of Luo Huai’s interviews. Zhong Jiudao and Luo Huai had participated in interviews together, and Luo’s mother remembered his voice!
Luo's mother pointed at the door and looked at Luo's father with a questioning and disbelieving look.
Father Luo turned his back to Zhong Jiudao and looked at his wife in pain.
Luo's mother had also seen many people in the world, so she tried to remain calm and said, "There's no one here. Maybe some kid is knocking on the door for fun."
After saying that, she closed the door and walked into the living room with Luo's father, pretending nothing had happened.
When ordinary people get along with ghosts, if they have no ill intentions, they should just pretend not to see them and try to drive them away as if nothing happened. If they know that they can see ghosts, they may be haunted by ghosts whose wishes have not yet been fulfilled.
Luo's father and mother were terrified that night. When they returned to the living room, Luo's mother said, "How come Luo Luo fell asleep while watching TV? Go turn off the TV, and let's stop talking and go to the kitchen to make dumplings."
"This kid falls asleep so quickly." Father Luo picked up the remote control and turned off the TV, and the couple walked into the kitchen.
There is no partition between their kitchen and living room, so one can clearly see everything in the living room while sitting in the kitchen.
Luo's father came out with noodles and saw Zhong Jiudao sitting next to Luo Huai. He stretched out his hand and touched Luo Huai's brow.
Father Luo: “…”
Why are you still touching me
The magic power of the magic weapons on Luo's father and mother was so weak that it could be ignored. Zhong Jiudao had always treated them as ordinary people. He didn't expect that they could see him. He sat on their sofa naturally and let Luo Huai check his body.
He had been assisted by God when casting the spell before. Zhong Jiudao also felt the magical power supporting him at that time. It was stored in the bracelet he gave to Luo Huai.
Thanks to these magical powers, he didn't use too much soul power. He only used a little soul power as a guide to open the door to the other world, and the rest was consumed by magic power. In total, it only shortened his life span by three to five years.
Moreover, this level of soul power consumption can be compensated. The Zhong family is rich, and there are naturally soul-nourishing instruments in the storehouse. He risked his life to get rid of the scum Wu Xingze this time. Even if the head of the Zhong family is stubborn, he can't refuse him to use the instrument to nourish his soul.
It is easy to replenish soul power in three to five years, but it is impossible to replenish it in thirty to fifty years. The same principle applies to people who are injured. As long as the leg is broken or a piece of flesh is lost, it can be healed slowly with careful conditioning. But if it is an injury of the degree of amputation, it is impossible to recover.
I just don't know why his father came to Luo Huai's house, which is thousands of miles away from the Zhong family, and how he was picked up by Luo Huai and brought home, and he accidentally tied a rope to Luo Huai, and provided magical support at the critical moment. If I really want to explain it, it's probably Luo Huai's luck that can make everything come together.
Zhong Jiudao put his finger on Luo Huai's brow and asked him to check his body. He was worried that the fierce battle just now would affect Luo Huai's health.
A bit of soul power was injected into Luo Huai's eyebrows. Zhong Jiudao felt that Luo Huai's soul was at peace and his body was fine. He just slept too deeply.
After retracting his soul power, Zhong Jiudao couldn't help but scratch Luo Huai's nose. He thought that it was a good thing that Luo Huai was sleeping soundly, otherwise he would see him as soon as he opened his eyes, and Luo's father and mother wouldn't be able to see him, which was inexplicable.
"Bang!" There was a loud noise from the kitchen. Zhong Jiudao looked over and saw Luo's father slamming the working board on the table with great force and kneading the dough vigorously.
When Father Luo saw that Zhong Jiudao was frowning and scratching his son's nose, he felt so angry that he had no place to vent his anger and could only take it out on his face.
"If you keep quiet, you'll disturb Luo Luo." Luo's mother turned her back to the living room and winked at her husband frantically, suggesting that he should be patient.
Father Luo could only knead the dough silently, trying not to reveal any clues.
Zhong Jiudao looked at the couple busy in the kitchen with envy. This was the environment in which Luo Huai grew up. It was obvious that the couple had a very good relationship. Luo Huai grew up in love, no wonder he had such a good personality.
Sometimes Zhong Jiudao looked at his father and mother and felt that they were not like a couple at all. Most of the time, they were like a hot-tempered leader and a calm assistant.
Mother Zhong never refuted Father Zhong. Most of the time, she would secretly pass a message to Zhong Jiudao or something. She would never gently blame Father Luo like Mother Luo did.
Zhong Jiudao had never seen what a normal couple looked like. In any case, all the marriages in his family were abnormal. When he saw Luo's father and mother, he felt that this family was very warm.
He turned his head to look at Luo Huai's empty wrist, placed his fingers on it, and said with some regret: "I just want to give you some gifts, why can't I give them to you?"
"Duang!" Luo's mother smashed the chopping board with a machete and chopped the meat with all her strength.
Listen to what Zhong Jiudao said. Doesn't this director treat his son badly
Duang! Duang! Duang! Luo's mother chopped the meat in anger.
"Be careful, we'll be downstairs soon!" Father Luo tried to hold Mother Luo down.
"Let me get the meat grinder." Luo's mother said with some effort.
This house is full of life. It turns out that Mr. Zhong must go back before the life-extending lamp burns out. Zhong Jiudao really wants to stay here for a while longer.
Unfortunately, no, the light should be a quarter of the way there.
Zhong Jiudao untied the rope from Luo Huai's wrist, tied it around his father, and said to Luo Huai in a low voice, "Thank you."
Then he gently shook the bell on the rope, which was his mother's secret signal. When the bell rang in a specific pattern, his mother knew that he had found his father. This method would summon both father and mother back to their bodies.
Soon, Zhong Jiudao felt a powerful force, which was both his mother's call to him and the inseparable connection between his soul and body.
He held on to his father, obeying the call, and they both returned to their bodies.
As soon as they left, Luo's father put down the dough and said to Luo's mother, "It's gone, finally gone!"
"Now, my son comes and takes my father away. Is the problem solved?" asked Luo's mother.
"It should be fine. Now it's ready!" Father Luo took off his glasses, and Mother Luo also took off her headphones. This magic weapon can still be used for another three or four hours, so they have to seal it up quickly to prevent the loss of magic power.
"So what happened?" Luo's mother asked, "Is the person who came Zhong Jiudao? Is he alive or dead?"
"I don't know," Luo's father shook his head, "At least he was alive when he was filming the movie, right? Otherwise, how can we interview him?"
"That's not necessarily true. Your grandfather's notes said that when Luo Luo was in his twenties, he would encounter a human-shaped ghost who could cultivate into a human body and hold a high position of power, which could lead to a disaster." Luo's mother said, "Could he be that ghost?"
Father Luo said: "I see that Zhong Jiudao has clear eyes and a decent face, so he should be an upright person. These glasses can show some resentment, but he has no resentment at all, so he should not be a demon."
"How can a ghost become a ghost without any resentment? It would have passed away long ago. As for the soul that can stay in the world without any resentment, I have only heard of one, and that is the reborn soul." Luo's mother said.
After hearing his wife's reminder, Luo's father suddenly realized: "So the bell on his body is for summoning souls. He is not dead, but his father is in trouble, and he is using his blood relative to summon his father's soul!"
"That makes sense. The bracelet he gave to Luo Luo is also an extremely precious magical tool. So Zhong Jiudao might be from the Celestial Master world." Luo's mother also analyzed this.
“If he was a celestial master, he would have been able to see Luo Huai’s necromancy ability and given him the magic weapon just to protect Luo Luo, right? But he accidentally saved Father Zhong who was in distress?” Father Luo’s expression gradually relaxed.
Although the couple's magical powers were low, they had seen storms before. At the beginning, although they were in a panic and had some misunderstandings about the child, they were able to guess the clues after calming down and thinking about it slowly.
"Then he is really good to Luo Luo. He is a good Taoist priest." Luo's mother said.
"Then... continue to turn a blind eye." Father Luo made the decision.
After all, it was written in the ancestor's notes that future generations don't need to worry too much about Luo Huai's affairs. He will encounter his own opportunities. Don't do things that you shouldn't do because of worry, which will lead to disaster.
The couple persuaded each other to let it go and continued making dumplings for a while. When they were all done, Luo Huai woke up.
He rubbed his eyes and went to look at the old man on the sofa. Seeing that the old man was gone, he asked in confusion, "Dad, Mom, where is Director Zhong's father?"
"Oh, when you were asleep, we found Director Zhong's phone number in your mobile phone. This time he answered the phone and asked someone to pick up your father. Now you can rest assured." Luo's father came over and said.
"Ah? Director Zhong was here? Why did I sleep so soundly?" Luo Huai scratched his head in annoyance.
"No, that's not the case," Luo's mother said, "someone else came. You know the old man was very angry just now and didn't want to see him. He asked his family to pick him up, so we sent him down."
"Is that so?" Luo Huai felt less regretful when he knew that Director Zhong didn't come.
At this moment, he felt his wrist was empty and disappeared as soon as he touched it.
"Where is my bracelet?" Luo Huai asked in surprise, looking for it everywhere anxiously.
Luo's father and mother couldn't tell him that the bracelet had turned into ashes. They kept silent for a long time. Luo's mother remembered what Mr. Zhong said and suddenly explained, "It was taken away by Director Zhong's father when he left."
"Ah?" Luo Huai touched his wrist disappointedly. "That's right. Director Zhong moved it out of his home. It's only natural that Director Zhong's father wants to take it back."
It is actually very impolite to take back something that has been given to someone. Fortunately, Luo Huai has a good temper. Apart from feeling that Director Zhong's father is a little unreasonable, he is not angry.
But Director Zhong and his father have always been at odds. If I tell him about this, will Director Zhong have a quarrel with his father
Luo Huai decided not to mention this matter after returning home. If Director Zhong found out that he was not wearing the bracelet, he would tell him that it was too expensive and not suitable for him to wear it every day, and then put it away.
Anyway, there are still a lot of jewelry that costs 9.9 per kilogram, and it’s not bad to wear those.
"I hope Director Zhong and his father can make up for it, and I also hope his father will stop blaming him. Director Zhong is a very good director, and I hope I can have more opportunities to cooperate with Director Zhong in the future." Luo Huai clasped his hands together and made a secret wish.
Luo's father and mother looked at each other and saw the sadness in each other's eyes.
Zhong Jiudao's attitude towards Luo Huai was weird just now, and now Luo Luo's look is also weird.
