Dimensional Bookstore

Morning City.

Le Jing stopped at the entrance of Haiyan Community and took a look at the address on the note: No. 1, 2nd Floor, Building 3, Haiyan Community.

He breathed a sigh of relief, put the gift in his hand on the ground to rest, and touched the smooth fur of the black cat in his arms, "Finally found the place."

Victor yawned and said coldly: "Don't be too happy too early, what if she moves again?"

Le Jing couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard it. After all, the address provided by Xu Feng was more than 60 years ago. Le Jing found the village and found that Xu Jiao had moved away long ago. He followed the address told by the village chief and found that it was already empty and Xu Jiao had moved away again. After many twists and turns, Le Ling even hacked into the household registration system of the Public Security Bureau several times before they found this place. Unexpectedly, they were in the same Chenan City as them.

This is an old community, and you can tell at a glance that it is a long time old. It was noon at this time, and the community was filled with the aroma of rice. The old man guarding the door glanced at him a few times.

Le Jing took the initiative to ask, "Uncle, may I ask if Grandma Xu Jiao lives here?"

The uncle looked at him warily: "Why are you looking for Xu Jiao? Who are you to her?"

Le Jing was delighted, it seemed that he had found the right place.

"I am her old family, and the elders in my family asked me to pass a message to Grandma Xu Jiao."

The old man looked a little more strange when he heard this, "Then you may be late."

Le Jing's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and he heard the old man sighing, his eyes a little sad, "Xu Jiao, she passed away a few days ago..."

He stood there blankly, feeling indescribable.

So...is he one step late after all?

"Hey! Lei Lei!" The old man's eyes lit up, and suddenly waved behind Le Jing and said, "Come on. Someone is looking for your grandma here."

Le Jing turned around and saw a young man in his early twenties walking towards him suspiciously.

The young man had deep eye sockets, bloodshot eyes, and a pale face, looking particularly haggard. The weirdest thing was that Le Jing saw wisps of black air on his face, which looked like the resentment in the TV series.

Since he started practicing Taoism in the prehistoric times, he has gained a pair of yin and yang eyes, which can see many things that he couldn't see before, but that's all. At this time, he couldn't help but hesitate. Could this young man be haunted by an evil ghost?

Xu Lei asked, "Why are you looking for my grandma?"

Le Jing narrowed his eyes and saw another vague black ghost face on his face. He calmly told him the story.

Of course, he used the excuse that Xu Feng had married and had children in another place.

Xu Lei was furious when he heard this. "My grandmother never married for him. In the end, she couldn't wait for him and thought he was dead, so she adopted my father to inherit their lineage. He is fine, with a happy marriage and many children and grandchildren. Is he worthy of my grandmother like this?!"

As he got angry, the ghost face on his face became clearer and clearer. Le Jing could even see the grimace at the corner of the ghost face, which was particularly scary with Xu Lei's pale and swollen face.

Le Jing can now be sure that even if he is not possessed by a ghost, he must have been stained with some dirty things.

Although he has practiced Taoism for a few years, he is a latecomer after all. Not only is his basic skills not solid, he has been practicing his state of mind and has not systematically learned how to exorcise ghosts. He can only act according to circumstances. If it doesn't work...

He glanced at the black cat in his arms, and thought uncertainly that the devil should be able to exorcise ghosts... right?

Regarding Xu Lei's questioning, although Le Jing wanted to tell the young man that Xu Feng had already died for his country, he did not let Xu Jiao down. But even if he said so, no one would believe it.

After all, no one except Le Jing knew about this love between two people who were in love and loyal.

So he could only sigh and said with a wry smile: "Can I go to pay my respects to Grandma Xu?"

Xu Lei took a deep breath and barely calmed down his anger. The grimace on his face also faded a little: "Grandma's mourning hall is still at home. You can go and burn some incense."

The two of them exchanged a few simple pleasantries along the way. From Le Jing's silent words, he learned that Xu Lei had been working in other places before and came back this time because of his grandmother's funeral.

Le Jing asked tentatively: "I see you look bad, did you not sleep well?"

Xu Lei nodded sadly: "Recently, I have been under a lot of work pressure, and my grandma is... I have nightmares every day these days, and I have no appetite for food." He touched his face and smiled bitterly: "I was scared when I looked in the mirror."

"Nightmare?" Le Jing asked: "When did you start having nightmares? What are the contents of the nightmares?"

The two were already standing in front of the second floor door. Xu Lei recalled while looking for the key in his pocket: "It must have been more than a week. Nightmare, let's not talk about it." He opened the door, "Come in."

The house is obviously a new house. The corridor through the entrance is the living room. The mourning hall is set in a small corner of the living room. There is a black and white portrait on the altar, and tributes and incense are offered below.

Xu Lei's parents were sitting on the sofa, looking at the two in fear, with tears on their faces.

When Xu's father saw Le Jing, a stranger, he didn't bother to greet him. Instead, he stood up and asked Xu Lei, "Where have you been?!"

Xu Lei was confused: "I just went out for a walk. It didn't take long."

"What do you mean it didn't take long?! I've been waiting for you since last night!" Xu's mother screamed, "If you don't come back, I'm going to call the police!"

Xu Lei was stunned, his expression showed a kind of stiff indifference, his eyes were blank and he said dullly: "I don't understand what you mean. I'm very tired. I want to rest." He turned around and walked into the bedroom stiffly, shaking his head vigorously Go up to the bedroom door.

Father Xu slumped into the sofa, and then he noticed Le Jing, who was standing quietly aside with a gift. He forced a smile, stood up and greeted, "I'm telling you to see a joke, are you Leilei's friend?"

Le Jing explained his intention in a few words. Xu's father suddenly understood. He shook his head and sighed, "My mother was always talking about him before she died. He's doing good things, he's doing good things."

"It may be a bit presumptuous to ask this." Le Jing asked carefully, "Did the old lady wear blue and white floral cloth before she died? She had a pair of silver engraved bracelets on her hands and black cloth shoes."

Xu's father was shocked. He looked at Le Jing with wide eyes and confusion, and his voice stuttered: "Yes, that's right. You...how did you know?"

Le Jing looked at the old woman standing at the altar wearing a blue and white floral cloth. Her kind face was exactly the same as the one in the photo. It seemed that this was the soul of Grandma Xu Jiao.

Since they came in, Grandma Xu looked at Xu Lei worriedly, wiping her tears and muttering: "Get away from my grandson quickly! You evil ghost! My grandson is still so young, you black-hearted thing... …”

As if to demonstrate, the ghostly shadow on Xu Lei's face became clear for a moment, and then Xu Lei returned to the bedroom with a dull expression and slammed the door.

Grandma Xu Jiao visibly shrank and looked in the direction of the bedroom in fear. Her eyes were particularly desperate and her tears flowed even more fiercely.

After Le Jing started talking about Xu Feng, the old lady stopped wiping her tears and looked at him helplessly. When she heard that Xu Feng had already gotten married and had children, not only did she not get angry, but she breathed a sigh of relief, clasped her hands together and smiled with tears in her eyes. Said: "Bless the fox fairy, bless the fox fairy."

A stupid woman.

It matches the silly man Xu Feng.

"Because I saw it." Le Jing pointed helplessly in the direction of Grandma Xu Jiao and said, "She is standing right there!"

As if Xu's father was struck by lightning, even Xu's mother, who had been crying, stopped crying and looked in the direction Le Jing was pointing in panic.

Xu Jiao also looked at Le Jing in shock, even her tears were scared away. She excitedly threw herself at Le Jing, but her transparent body passed through the young man's body. Although she was a little disappointed, she still looked at Le Jing with excitement and surprise and asked, "Can you see me?"

"Yes. Grandma, my eyes are clear and I can see some things that ordinary people can't see." Le Jing looked at the surprised old man and softened his eyebrows, "Grandma, I'm sorry, I just lied to you."

"Xu Feng died in the battle a long time ago. He asked me to bring you a few words." Le Jing solemnly repeated to her word for word what Xu Feng said at that time.

By the end of the story, Xu Jiao's face was filled with tears, and she covered her mouth and sobbed.

"It turns out he's waiting for me too. It turns out he's waiting for me too!" She cried and laughed, her expression both sad and happy. "I said I didn't see the wrong person back then! I didn't see the wrong person!"

"Mom, Mom!" Father Xu staggered and fell in front of the altar table, looking left and right, "You are here, right? I knew you didn't leave!"

Xu Jiao looked at her son who was crying and couldn't help herself. She hurriedly tried to help him up, but she passed through his body again and again. She quickly cast her hopeful gaze on Le Jing: "Please, tell him quickly that there is an evil spirit in Leilei! Leilei is possessed by an evil spirit!"

Le Jing quickly conveyed Xu Jiao's words to Xu's father. Unexpectedly, Xu's father cried even harder when he heard the words, "I knew it, I knew it." He was already over fifty, but at this time he was crying like a lost man. After finding the mother’s child, “these days are Give me and Axia a dream." He turned to look at his wife, who was crying on the sofa, and said in a hoarse voice: "Axia, Axia, look, it's mom! I said it must be mom! Leilei was worried, so he gave us a dream to warn us. "

Xu's mother crawled to the altar and knelt down in front of the altar. She banged her head at the portrait, "Mom, please save Leilei! Save Leilei!"

Xu's father grabbed Le Jing's hand hard, as if grasping the last straw: "Ask my mother how to save Leilei!"

Le Jing looked at the old lady, listened for a while, and finally understood what was going on.

"Did you not make offerings to Baojiaxian on time during this period? And is Xu Lei disrespectful to Baojiaxian in normal times?"

The so-called Baojiaxian is not an immortal. Instead, they are some mountain spirits worshiped by the people, usually fox fairies, yellow skins, domestic snakes, etc. Usually it is written on paper and pasted on the wall, or it is a memorial tablet made of wooden boards. Some people also have small temples. Generally, there is no need to perform a ceremony to worship the Baojiaxian, just write an offering directly. Every time steamed buns are steamed at home, they are offered as an offering. Baojiaxian, as the name suggests, keeps the family safe, and if worshiped well, it can benefit countless future generations.

The Baojiaxian of the Xu family is a fox fairy. There is an old incident involved in this matter.

When Grandma Xu was still young, she went up the mountain to collect firewood and met a fox walking upright. The fox was not afraid of her, but even made fun of her. There are always legends about strange powers and gods circulating in the countryside. Grandma Xu recalled a story she heard from her grandma when she was a child. It was said that once some spirits in the countryside have become successful in cultivation, they will appear in front of people and imitate people's words and deeds. This is called "asking for a title." If people say it looks like a human or an immortal at this time, then the spirit has successfully cultivated and can become an adult or an immortal. But if people say it does not look like a human or immortal at this time, then it will ruin its conduct and it will be retaliated by spirits in the future.

So Grandma Xu immediately said: "Are you the Fox Fairy?"

Then the fox fell deeply into her and left. That night, Grandma Xu dreamed of a man in brown clothes bowing to her and saying, "Thank you."

In order to repay Grandma Xu's kindness, the fox fairy stayed and became the guardian fairy of Grandma Xu's family. Grandma Xu has moved several times over the years but has never lost the fox fairy tablet. She worships it every day and is extremely pious. Under the protection of the Fox Fairy, their family's life became better and better, and Grandma Xu lived to be 88 years old and died without any illness.

Father Xu and mother Xu looked at each other for a long time, and finally Father Xu said with some shame: "Usually, Mom worships the immortals of the Libao family. After Mom left, we have been dealing with the funeral, so we forgot to worship. As for Leile..."

Xu's mother choked with sobs and then said, "This kid just keeps his mouth shut. In fact, he has no evil intentions." She looked at Le Jing in panic and asked sadly: "Is Bao Jiaxian angry, so he sent the evil spirit?" To punish us?"

Le Jing shook his head and explained: "The only one in your family who is benevolent to the Fox Fairy is the old lady. Now the old lady is at the end of her life. If you worship her devoutly, then the Fox Fairy will continue to protect your family for the sake of the old lady." Yes. But you Not only was Xu Lei not a pious worshiper, but Xu Lei even said evil words to the Fox Fairy after he was drunk, which made the Fox Fairy angry. The evil spirit took advantage of Xu Lei's bad luck and got into his body. In a few days, he would be completely gone. He took possession of Xu Lei’s body and became a man.”

This frightened both Xu's father and Xu's mother. "What should we do?" Xu's mother looked at the empty altar table with confusion, and asked with a trembling voice, "Mom, can we invite the Fox Fairy?" Come back? We must make amends to the Fox Immortal, even if it costs me my life!"

Grandma Xu was angry and funny and said: "What's the use of the Fox Fairy's taking your life! I've been worshiping the Fox Fairy devoutly for decades, but I'm still a bit thin-faced. Even if I give up this old face this time, I will I invited the Fox Immortal back. But this time you must not be careless, and you must worship the Fox Immortal with sincerity! And Leile, you must admit your mistake to the Fox Immortal!"

Le Jing relayed the old lady's words to the couple, who burst into tears of joy and nodded repeatedly: "Absolutely! We must let Leilei make amends with the Fox Fairy."

So under the guidance of the old lady, the two of them devoutly offered fresh whole chickens in front of the Baojiaxian tablet enshrined in the old lady's bedroom, and then the old lady kept chanting some obscure incantations. .

Le Jing looked at all this with wonder. This old lady is much more knowledgeable than this dabbler like him.

The evil ghost possessing Xu Lei seemed to be aware of the danger. Soon there was a violent kicking on the door, and a terrifying, inhuman, beast-like howling sound came from Xu Lei's mouth.

The blood drained from the faces of Xu's father and Xu's mother, and they supported each other to keep from falling.

Seeing that the door was about to be kicked open, Xu's mother subconsciously looked at Le Jing asking for help: "Master, what should I do?"

Okay, now no one will believe him even if he tells the truth.

Le Jing brushed the cat hair in his arms and asked softly: "Victor?"

"Okay, I get it." In the horrified eyes of the couple, the black cat uttered human words and jumped to the ground lightly, "As long as I am here, the undead can't hurt you."

Xu's mother's face turned pale and she looked like she might faint at any time. On the other hand, Xu's father looked at Le Jing with even more awe, obviously regarding him as a powerful master.

Le Jing: ...I knew it.

However, Victor didn't come in handy after all. At the same time that Xu Lei broke in, a gust of wind suddenly roared through the closed room, and a big brown fox appeared out of thin air on the altar table.

Le Jing has never seen such a big fox. He was wearing a brown robe, standing upright on the altar, and was as tall as a person.

A humanistic light appeared in the black fox's eyes, looking straight at the frantic Xu Lei.

Strangely enough, Xu Lei calmed down almost immediately. Le Jing could clearly see the ferocious grimace on his face, trembling as if encountering a natural enemy.

The big fox raised his chin, a hint of sarcasm flashed in his eyes, and spoke in a clear and simple male voice: "Destroy!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ghostface opened his mouth wide and let out a shrill scream, melting and disappearing like new snow in the sun.
