At this time, the lights of Tianhao Restaurant and Jiaxi Restaurant nearby have been turned off, only the lights of Xiangman Restaurant are on. As soon as Yi Ba and I got off the car, we saw Bai Mengting waiting eagerly at the gate.
"Why are you here!" From answering her call to appearing at the door of Xiangman Building, it only took more than half an hour at most. This girl Bai Mengting actually thinks I am slow?
“I almost got my wings and flew.” I glanced at Bai Mengting speechlessly and asked, “What is going on?”
“I can’t tell, you guys Go up and have a look!" Bai Mengting said.
After walking into the corridor, I felt the lights flickering.
"Is it poor contact?" I asked Bai Mengting.
"We called the electrician to check it, it's not because of poor contact." Bai Mengting looked at Yi Ba and asked, "I suspect there is something dirty. What do you think?"
"Are there any dirty things? It can’t be seen with the naked eye.”
Yi Ba took out a talisman from his green cloth pocket, slapped it against the wall of the corridor, and then murmured. There was silence.
The wind has picked up, and there is a cold wind on the flat ground. The talisman, which was originally attached quietly, immediately made a "clattering" sound when the cold wind blew.
After ringing for a while, the talisman started to smoke and then ignited.
“It’s hard to say whether there are dirty things, but there is definitely ghost energy.” Yi Ba pointed at the burning talisman and said: “This talisman can only be activated when it encounters ghost and evil energy. Burning.”
“It’s so good, why is Xiangmanlou haunted?” I looked at it with confusion. He turned to Bai Mengting and asked, "Have you offended anyone by doing business here?"
"Whether it's the Tianhao Restaurant on the left or the Jiaxi Restaurant on the right, we all offend If you can't afford it, how dare you offend me?" Bai Mengting frowned and said, "Some time ago , Tianhao Restaurant seems to have invited a gentleman to perform a ritual ceremony quietly, but even if they are performing rituals, they should be targeting Jiaxi Restaurant! It has nothing to do with our Xiangman Restaurant."
“Judging from the burning of the talisman, there is indeed a ghostly atmosphere in Xiangmanlou. But the talisman fire is not particularly strong, which means that the ghost energy is not too strong, which means that the ghost has not stayed here for a long time, and is probably just passing by." Yi Ba paused and thought. After a while, he said: "Xiangmanlou is haunted. It can only be regarded as accidental damage at best."
"Even if it's an accidental injury, we won't be able to do business." Bai Mengting took over the words and said: "Sandwiched between these two big restaurants, Xiangmanlou's business is not good, but it can barely maintain it. God. The Haoda Restaurant couldn't do business at all. The guests were eating in the private room, and suddenly the lights went out and a strange sound was heard, which scared the guests and ran away. Fortunately, the whole process was good. "Nothing happened to the guests."
"It is normal for a ghost to make such noise when passing by." Yi Ba paused and said: "Let's find the ghost first! No matter who released it, These ghosts have to be sent away. If you keep it, you will harm others."
"That ghost should have been brought by the gentleman hired by Tianhao Restaurant. If we send him away, wouldn't it be tantamount to offending Tianhao Restaurant? ?" I suddenly thought of this.
"It doesn't matter who he is, as long as he is letting ghosts and harming people, he must be controlled." Yi Ba said with a very firm attitude.
Yi Ba chose a small private room in the corner. He said that this private room was not only remote, but also suitable for gathering Yin energy. It would be perfect to lure that ghost here and get rid of it.
There are two ways to get rid of the ghost. One is to persuade him to leave on his own. As for the second method, which is a bit violent, it is to beat him to death.
Ghosts need to be attracted with incense.
Yi Ba placed an incense burner on the table, took out the finest tribute incense, and offered it. Then he gave me two talismans and asked me to put one on the left and right sides of the door.
After putting up the talisman and offering incense, Yi Ba asked Bai Mengting and me to wait in the private room next door, leaving him alone here. After a while the ghost came, he had to persuade him first, and then he took action when he couldn't persuade him anymore.
If Bai Mengting and I stay here, it will not be good if we are hit by that thing. In fact, I, Yi Ba, am not worried. After all, I have a ghost-killing stick in my hand, but Bai Mengting has no ability to fight back at all.
"There seems to be no movement next door?" After waiting for about ten minutes, Bai Mengting seemed a little impatient.
"Is this your first time waiting for a ghost to come to your door? Let alone less than half an hour, even if you wait for most of the night, you may not be able to wait."
I am in Anqingguan Having waited for ghosts together with Yi Ba, I know that waiting for ghosts is far more difficult than waiting for people. While waiting for someone, you can also make a phone call and ask where they are. Damn it, all you can do is wait.
"Creak..."
The door that was originally closed suddenly opened a crack. It felt like someone was pushing the door outside, but there was no one outside.
Bai Mengting didn't know whether it was because of fear or something else, but she grabbed my arm and pressed her body tightly against me. After leaving Fengyang County and establishing myself in Guquan Old Street, no woman has been so close to me for a long time. Bai Mengting leaned so close, her soft and arrogant part naturally stuck to my elbow, which immediately made me a little distracted.
Out of instinct, I moved my arms unconsciously and rubbed them twice.
"Disgusting!" Bai Mengting glared at me and asked, "Did something come in?"
There was a little movement when the door was pushed open, but now there is little movement. None, and I certainly didn't feel anything coming in.
The private room next door was still quiet. Yi Ba did not move, which meant that there should be nothing going on there.
"Nothing is coming in." Just as I said these words, the door opened with a "clang".
I vaguely saw something rushing toward us, but I didn't see it clearly. Subconsciously, I used the moves Yi Ba taught me, first picking, then stabbing, and then striking. Although it has only been a few days since I got the ghost-killing stick, I am basically very skilled at playing it.
“Ah!”
I seemed to hear a scream, and then there was no movement.
At this time, Yi Ba rushed over.
"Why did you come to your side?" Yi Ba looked puzzled.
"Did that thing escape?" I asked Yi Ba.
"It must have run away." Yi Ba checked around the private room and said, "But after being hit by your ghost-killing stick, even if the thing is not alive, at least it will have to shed its skin."< br>
"Will that ghost come again?" Bai Mengting asked Yi Ba with a worried look.
“Ghosts hold grudges.” Yi Ba took the words and said, “The two attacks just now by Brother Chu Yi caused him to suffer heavy losses. He will not be able to cause trouble again in a short period of time. . But after it recovers, it will probably come again.”
"What should we do?" Bai Mengting asked.
“Brother Junior One has only got the ghost-killing stick a few days ago, and he only knows some simple moves. Even the two brushes of Brother Junior One can beat the ghost away, which shows that the guy is not good enough. It's ridiculous. I'll leave you with a few talismans. If that thing comes to cause trouble again, you can beat him up. That's the phone call. It only takes half an hour for us to get here from Guquan Old Street, let alone half an hour. Even if it takes him a whole day and a night, it won't be a problem."
Yi Ba. He took out a few talismans from Qingbu's pocket and handed them to Bai Mengting. He also gave her a general explanation of how to use the talismans.
"You two stay here for a while. I'll go to other private rooms to see if there are any problems." After Yi Ba finished speaking, he ran to other private rooms to check.
"Did you do it on purpose just now?" Bai Mengting asked me.
"What's intentional?" Although I know what Bai Mengting is referring to, I can't admit it! You can't talk about eating tofu, just eat it.
“Stop pretending to me.” Bai Mengting glared at me and asked, “Have you ever done this when you were alone with Song Xi?” Bai Mengting’s questions were each more pointed than the last. ah? It was difficult for me to answer the question just now, and this question this time was even more difficult for me to answer!
