Tomb Raiders Codex

Chapter 731
Boss Zhou saw the red hair sitting on his sofa swaggeringly, his face was very unhappy, and he said in a bad tone: "What are you capable of? Don't lie to me, or you will feel better." I looked around the house, but there was nothing Sound, I'm just here to practice my hands, so I'm lazy and useless.

Hongmao said: "What's the hurry? Isn't it dark yet? Have you ever seen a ghost come out in broad daylight?" Although Hongmao didn't tell me in detail, I can understand the situation at a glance. Boss Zhou's house is haunted, and he probably asked someone to catch ghosts and exorcise evil spirits, but Hongmao bumped into him and brought me to practice.

Boss Zhou looked at his watch, then said nothing, and ordered the maid to make coffee for us, while he sat on the sofa on the other side.Hongmao crossed his legs and said, "Tell me about the specific situation." Looking at us two poor people, Boss Zhou's distrust was obvious, but he probably still had the attitude of giving it a try, not unlike us. He politely talked about his experience.

As soon as he mentioned this matter, his contemptuous demeanor also restrained, and the expression on his face became a little cautious, and said: "It was just four days ago. When I was sleeping at night, I always felt that someone was standing on my bed On the side, but when I opened my eyes, I couldn’t see anything. Then I was a little scared, so I went to sleep with the light on. Then I smelled a strong smell of blood, as if it came from the bathroom. At night, the servant I'm all off work, my wife and children are traveling abroad, I'm the only one, I was quite scared, so I went to the bathroom to check, but I didn't see any blood...but, but..."

He said, swallowed, the muscles on his face twitched, and said: "As soon as I looked up, I saw a dark figure standing behind me in the bathroom mirror." The mirror has been around since ancient times. It has the effect of illuminating ghosts and suppressing evil spirits. In many ancient tombs, even in the inner and outer coffins, there will be things like bronze mirrors.

Combined with my more than one month of study, I asked: "What clothes is that ghost wearing?"

Boss Zhou glanced at me and said, "I didn't pay attention at first, but I saw a black shadow. I was so scared to death. I can't remember what happened afterwards. The next day, I felt like I was having a nightmare. It’s unbelievable to say something about ghosts, so I think I might be tired and dazzled, so I didn’t take it seriously, but, but in the next few nights, the same thing always happened , and then the ghost gradually realized that his head was flat, his body was covered in blood, he was only wearing a pair of pants... he followed me at night."

I said, "Well, without looking through a mirror or something, have you ever seen it?"

Boss Zhou said, "That's not enough."

Hongmao was still smiling, and asked me: "What do you think? Tell me, and I will give you advice." In this regard, he is indeed a veteran, better than me, a fledgling, so I thought for a while, and put my own Presumably speaking with him to listen.

"This should be a 'living ghost', and there is no ghost on Boss Zhou's face, so the ghost probably didn't really hurt him. If it lingers around, it probably has some unfulfilled wish." The so-called living ghost means that it has just died the ghost.

It's not that people are all ghosts after death. After death, the soul is not as good as the underworld, and only those who wander in the world are called ghosts.

Boss Zhou probably thought we were quite professional, and when he heard me talking about ghosts, he touched his face and asked, "That ghost really doesn't intend to hurt me?"

I nodded and said: "If it wants to harm you, you can't be so relaxed these days. The more powerful a ghost is, the more ferocious it is, but even a living ghost has some of the most common abilities. Like Boss Zhou People who are too drunk, do not exercise much, and have weak yang essence can easily get close to them even if they are born ghosts. Although some ghosts with low morals cannot directly cause harm to people, the most common way is through hallucinations, nightmares and ghosts. Use anger to deal with people.

People who are shaken can't sleep at night, have nightmares again and again, an apple can be seen as a human head, and when you sleep at night, it lies next to you, although you can't feel it, but due to close contact , but will be infected with ghost energy, and then the essence will gradually decline.That's why the ancestors said that humans and ghosts go their own way.

This week, the boss is safe and sound, and there is no harm in thinking about the ghost.

After listening to our analysis, Boss Zhou said: "I don't care if it intends to harm me or not, just get rid of it quickly."

The red hair made an OK gesture, and then said: "If you want the horse to run, you have to feed the horse. Boss Zhou, right? We're hungry, let's get something to eat."

Boss Zhou gave the maid an order to get her some food, Hongmao immediately said: "Roll the sea cucumber in sauce, add chicken stewed with mushrooms, steamed pair of hairy crabs... What? No? Then hurry up and buy it anyway. The ghost won't come out until night, we'll wait."

Boss Zhou's face turned dark, Hong Mao smiled and said, "I'll eat you up, don't be so stingy."

He waved his hand and asked the auntie helper to go out to buy, while he picked up the phone himself. The sun had already set. Although he didn't like me and Hongmao, he didn't dare to stay too far away from us, and kept moving around us. According to his conversation on the phone, this man is in real estate.

Real estate makes money these days.

After eating and drinking enough, it was past ten o'clock in the evening. The aunt went home, and there were only three of us left in the villa. Boss Zhou became nervous, looking around the room, urging us: "[-]% come out soon. Come on, get ready now."

Hongmao asked back: "What are you preparing for?"

Boss Zhou choked, and said, "Don't you ghost hunters use talismans, rice, mahogany swords? Do you also have to step on the sky?"

Hongmao smiled and said: "The schools are different. The methods used are naturally different. What you are talking about is Taoism, but we are not Taoists. We are shamans."

Boss Zhou looked suspicious, and said, "Shaman? It's Gegeli Huanzhu, the so-and-so pill who had an affair with the concubine Xiangfei?"

I was drinking tea, and suddenly I was choked. It really was like a mountain. I was mixed with a group of well-informed Tu Fuzi before.Now with this kind of person, his first reaction turned out to be Huanzhugege...

I remembered that I had watched this drama before, and there was indeed such a passage in it.A group of people dressed up as shamans danced to the gods in the palace, which looked really funny.

When he heard that we were shamans, Boss Zhou, who didn't know the details, immediately showed a deceived expression.Hongmao smiled and said, "Don't act like a mourner. I promise to solve your problem tonight. The price we negotiated before is in place. Everything is OK."

Boss Zhou smiled, and said: "How many things you do and how much you get paid depends on your ability."

Hongmao and I didn't bring many things. Compared with the numerous magic tools of Taoism, the magic tools used by shamans are relatively simple, and most of them rely on the power of divine language.

After waiting for another hour or so, I suddenly felt a coldness around me, and a gloomy feeling spread.Since changing careers, I have become much more sensitive in this regard.

Boss Zhou seemed to be aware of it too, turning his head around and tensing his body muscles.Just as he was about to speak, the red hair motioned for me to do it. Fortunately, it wasn't the first time I had to deal with these things, so I didn't feel nervous.

Slowly, he took out the ghost face mask from the bag, and then took out a small mask.

This thing is called 'Xi Gong', with a specific divine language, when struck, people can communicate with ghosts.

After I finished reciting the words of God, I knocked on the gong.

"Clang!" Boss Zhou was taken aback, and stared at me with wide eyes.

I find it quite embarrassing. Compared with the majesty of Taoism, the shaman's method is really like a magic stick.

I cleared my throat and began to read.

"Boss Zhou likes to do good deeds."

"Accumulating virtue and accumulating good fortune is complete."

"Which ghost is in trouble."

"Just speak to me."

There was a clang, and Boss Zhou over there looked at me in despair, because I knew that my current appearance was too much like a magic stick...

After knocking, there was no response from the surroundings. I knew I had to work harder, so I continued to read.

"There is a view of the gods."

"There is a mirror from the underworld."

"You are a lost ghost."

"There's still a grudge."

After yelling the last sentence, I suddenly felt a gust of cool wind blowing from the back of my neck, and then, a voice like a broken gong sounded in my ears: "I have revenge." Man, standing right behind me, with the sofa in the middle.
