C22 (1/2)
”Ah …” Green smoke rose from Su Rui's body, and I could barely get up from the ground. Fortunately, my body had the ability to resist, and many ghosts had sucked in the yang energy in the past. If it were anyone else, they wouldn't be able to get up.
Originally, she thought that Su Rui had disappeared like smoke in the wind, but along with a cold wind, a few beauties appeared around Su Rui's body. They danced in a seductive manner and a strange fragrance exuded from her body.
The old man didn't give him any face as he calmly took out his pipe and took a puff before exhaling a mouthful of smoke. Those beauties instantly disappeared. Facing them was Su Rui's face, which had already rotted to an unrecognizable state. Her originally beautiful face had already rotted into a pile of bones, while the other half of her face was blood-red with a few maggots crawling out from her mouth.
”She …” It has taken on its original form! ” I looked like I was about to vomit, but the old man didn't seem to think so. He casually swung his hand and the pipe in his hand landed on her head.
”Sizzle...” Sizzle sizzle * A green smoke rose. Su Rui's face was filled with pain as she used her hands to grab at her face. With a tug of her hand, she actually ripped off the other half of her face.
The old man took out a piece of paper money from his pocket and pressed it down with his hand, covering Su Rui's face. With his hand, he wrapped the ghost girl up into the paper money.
”Put that porcelain pot on the ground. If you don't get rid of this evil creature, it will harm others.” I took the china pot and put it on the ground in the yard. The old man took out a match and lit the paper money. A thick cloud of smoke accompanied by a wailing cry came out from the porcelain bowl.
My body fell weakly to the ground and said, ”Old Master, what's going on?”
The old man frowned and said, ”This ghost has been trapped in a porcelain pot all this time, and finally managed to escape with great difficulty. How could it not harm people's lives? Why would it still want to be reincarnated? Think about it, if it was you instead, would you be willing to reincarnate?” What's wrong with giving birth to a baby? Do it again in your next life.
But after thinking about it, Su Rui had already passed the time of her reincarnation, and the resentment in her body became heavier and heavier. It caused Song Yifei and the others to die, wasn't it just to absorb the yang energy, I was almost tricked by her.
The old man's words were true, but luckily, he was there to save my life.
”Throw the basin away! ”Dust, dust, dust, dust …” The old man clasped his hands behind his back and returned to his room.
I lifted the porcelain pot and smashed it onto the ground. There was a crisp sound of the pot shattering. This sound completely exceeded her expectations.
I slept until noon the next day, when the ghost drew a little cold breath and I felt weak.
”You're awake. How was your sleep last night?” The old man poured a cup of water and passed it to me. I took a sip of the tea and immediately felt refreshed.
”Last night was really dangerous. If you didn't rush in in time, I would have turned into a dried up corpse!”
”Then I'll make you a coffin!”
I yawned and said, ”Old Gramps, your cigarette case from yesterday was pretty good. Why don't you give it to me? There are a lot of ghosts in the city. Why did I pick a magic tool to catch ghosts?”
The old man smiled and said, ”You're a paper seller, what the hell are you trying to catch?!”
”You don't know, there are too many evildoers in the city. If it wasn't for you taking action this time, I wouldn't even know what to do!”
”Enough, take this. You brat, don't embarrass me outside.” The old man took a small pipe from the cupboard and handed it to me.
The old man had two treasures, one was an ax used to make coffins, and the other was this pipe, but last night was really the first time I saw the old man use the pipe to catch ghosts.
I finished my lunch, packed my things, and took the train out of the village and back to the city. I hailed a taxi and returned to the residential district. Just as I jumped off the car, I saw Chu Lingyun and Fang Ya walking over from the side. When they saw me, they walked over.
”Big Brother Liu, where did you go yesterday? Why haven't I seen you for a day?”
”I have something to do back home.” Chu Lingyun softly said, ”Last night, a policewoman came to look for you. She saw that you weren't here, so she went back.”
”Oh, I know.” It's not strange that Guan Rou came to find me. However, I really need to find a way to explain this matter to her. The two sisters, Chu Lingyun and I, walked into the residential building and sat in the elevator. The moment he stepped out of the elevator, he saw Guan Rou walking toward him.
”Officer Guan, I'm here today!”
Guan Rou coldly said, ”Where did you run off to? Where is that porcelain pot?”
I smiled and said, ”You haven't eaten yet, right? Why don't we eat together?”
”Alright, I'm also hungry. I want to hear how you explain yourself!” I put my luggage back home, gave Tang Yufeng some incense, changed my clothes, and left the district with Guan Rou. We went to a nearby restaurant and sat down. After ordering a few dishes, Guan Rou didn't move at all. Her eyes were like an eagle's, staring at me with discomfort all over.
”Can you not look at me like that? I don't like others to look at me when I eat.”
”Speak, where did you take that porcelain bowl? It can't be that you're selling it, right?”
I hastily replied, ”I swear to god my conscience! How can I do such a thing?”
