Raising ghosts is risky

Before dawn, the stars and the moon disappear, and there is no skylight.

Gong Mu stood by the window looking at the sky, then looked at Xing Zhan who was sleeping soundly, leaped lightly, passed through the ceiling, and flew up to the roof. When he stood firmly on the roof, he had become an adult.

He grabbed a cloud of black mist from his sleeve and threw it into the air. The black mist rose in the wind and turned into a gloomy skull. The other end is in Gong Mu's hands.

As soon as it took shape, it knelt down on the ground and kowtowed like garlic: "Mr. Xing, please spare me!"

Gong Mu waved his sleeves, the skull was scorched by fire, and it screamed in pain.

"The little unformed bone demon dares to run wild in the world." The flames reflected Gong Mu's jade-like face bright red.

"Xing Jun, please spare me! I was just attracted, so..."

"Forgive me? How can I spare my life?" Gong Mu raised the corners of his lips, and his flirtatious smile was infinitely coquettish, "My responsibility is, since you let me bump into it, I have no reason to ignore it."

As soon as the words fell, the fire blazed brightly, and the skull was instantly burned to ashes. The flames wrapped the ashes and returned to Gong Mu's body. He closed his eyes and felt the power flowing through the meridians.The rising sun brought the first ray of the purest aura in the morning, which poured in from the top of Gong Mu's head and merged with his own power, making the nine-petaled lotus between his eyebrows even more red and bright.

After finishing the exercise, Gong Mu sank and fell into the room, but he didn't expect that Xing Zhan had already woken up, sitting on the side of the bed as if waiting for him to come back.

"Come back?" Xing Zhan looked like he was catching a child who had returned late, "What are you doing?"

Gong Mu has returned to his youthful appearance: "I'm going... to carry out photosynthesis."

Xing Zhan almost laughed out loud, but managed to remain serious: "Now we can talk about it."

"What do you want to know?" Gong Mu hooked his fingers, a chair slid to his side, and he sat down calmly with his robe lifted.

His strength has increased again, Xing Zhan thought to himself. "Tell me first what you are?"

Gong Mu thought for a while, and told his story.

Gong Mu, originally the lord of the stars in the sky, was responsible for killing and punishing, but because he violated the rules of heaven, he was punished to burn the celestial body, and was relegated to the human world to perform crimes and perform meritorious deeds.At the beginning of each reincarnation, his strength is very weak, and he can only maintain the form of a boy. He must rely on killing evil spirits to strengthen his spiritual power.When the lotus petals between his eyebrows are filled, the merits and virtues will be considered complete in one life. After nine petals are repaired in this way, the immortal body can be recast and returned to the heaven.

Now this last life is the ninth life, which is particularly dangerous, and the power is even weak to the point where he cannot condense his soul, so he has to live in an artifact.Originally, after 49 days, he could transform into a form and move within a certain range of copper coins, but he did not expect to be inspired by Xing Zhan's blood.Although he condensed his figure ahead of time, he couldn't be separated from him.

A few days ago, Gong Mu discovered that Shuiyue's family's luck was not right, there were evil spirits blocking the door, which made people unwilling to enter, or even if they did enter, they would be plagued by bad luck and suffer a lot of disasters.But he was worried that his spiritual power was too weak, so he wanted to save up for a few days before taking action. He didn't expect that Xing Zhan's combat power was beyond his expectations, and he broke up a bunch of little ghosts with just an electric mosquito swatter and socialist core values.

"Ying Huo Xingjun?" Xing Zhan, a staunch materialist, looked sideways at Gong Mu.

"Exactly." Gong Mu raised his chin proudly.

"Is that a big official?" Xing Zhan asked vulgarly.

Gong Mu's newly built pride fell to the ground.

"You said you broke the rules of heaven, I'm curious what you did?"

"What?" Gong Mu was stunned.

"It's against the law, burning the fairy body sounds very serious, it's like killing you, and then flogging your soul, so what did you do wrong?"

"I..." Gong Mu showed a blank expression, "What mistake did I make?"

Xing Zhan wondered: "Don't you remember?"

"That was a long, long time ago..." Gong Mu searched in his mind, but found that he couldn't find any memory of violating the rules of heaven. He only remembered that he made a mistake and was punished, and it has been explained in the same way for thousands of years In the reincarnation of the world, but why he was punished, he has no memory at all.After so many years of exorcising ghosts and demons, no one would ask him why he was demoted. Now that he was asked by Xing Zhan, he suddenly found that he had forgotten.

"After serving so many years in prison, I don't remember what mistakes I made?" Xing Zhan saw that his expression was not good, so he didn't ask further, "What happened to the skull last night?"

Gong Mu withdrew his thoughts: "It's a bone demon condensed from wild ghosts. It's not very capable, and someone deliberately recruited it."

"How did you get it?"

"It's at the gate, and I'll show you."

The two came to the main entrance of the tea house, Gong Mu pointed to the stone pier under the doorpost: "That brick is loose, there is something inside."

Xing Zhan rubbed his hands, and pulled out a stone brick beside the stone pier. Sure enough, he saw something wrapped in a black cloth inside, so he took it out.

The two sat on the booth by the window, Xing Zhan opened the black cloth, and inside was a dirty bronze mirror.

This bronze mirror is very strange. The front and back can be distinguished from the decoration on the outer ring, but the front of the mirror is decorated with carvings, and the back is the mirror.

"It's weird." Xing Zhan didn't know anything about this kind of objects, he only felt the tentacles were cold and tingly.

"This is a mirror against the sun." Gong Mu explained, "Ordinary mirrors are used to exorcise evil spirits, but this mirror has been polluted by powerful evil spirits, so someone turned it upside down and buried it in the dark Over time, the land has become an evil weapon to recruit demons and ghosts."

"Did you find out a few days ago, why didn't you tell me earlier and let me take it out?"

"It's useless. Once the anti-yang mirror starts to work, once it is interrupted, it will make the evil spirits spread, which is not conducive to elimination. It is better to wait for the evil spirits to successfully gather and destroy them together before taking them out."

"That is to say, even if the skeleton is driven away, if the mirror is not taken away, after a while, what terrible things will be brought in?"

"Exactly. This thing is quite sinister. The consequences of excessive Yin Qi can be large or small, ranging from constant pain to death, especially the elderly and women are more likely to be recruited."

Xing Zhan threw away the bronze mirror, took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, lit one, and exhaled a puff of smoke out the window. He squinted his eyes, exuding a dangerous aura.He has always been kind to others, it doesn't mean that if someone hurts him, he can still swallow his anger.

"Have you thought about who is going to kill you?" Gong Mu asked.

"There is someone who is very suspicious." Xing Zhan fiddled with the bronze mirror.

In this market, besides Shuiyue Family, there is also a beverage shop, which opened a few years ago, selling some coffee, milk tea and the like. After Xing Zhan came, he did some research, considering the hobbies of the people who came to the antique and handicraft market. Also thinking about differentiated management, whether it is decoration or tea drinks, they all rely on antique flavors. The business is booming for a while, and the location of Shuiyue people is good, so they robbed a lot of business, so the other boss hated it. There were many provocative words in the meeting, but Xing Zhan didn't take it to heart.

If rumors about Shuiyue's haunted house spread, the cafe would benefit the most, so it had to be suspected.

Not to mention anything else, let's just talk about the skull last night, if there is no Gong Mu, it is hard to predict what terrible consequences will be caused.It's fine if it's only aimed at yourself, but it also involves many innocent people.Thinking of Uncle Zhao who often comes to the tea house, I don't know if his illness is related to it, and the young girls who are working part-time are also really depressed.

But there are other things to deal with right now, so Xing Zhan rewrapped the bronze mirror with a cigarette in his mouth.

Gong Mu squinted: "Can you stop smoking?"

"You are so wide-ranging, and you can't smell it."

"Can I smell it, please, don't ruin my practice!" Gong Mu puffed up a round face.

Xing Zhan turned his face sideways, exhaled a puff of cigarette at him, and extinguished the cigarette in the ashtray before he could react.Gong Mu's face was smeared, and he was about to have an attack, but when he saw that he had finished his cigarette, he met his half-smiling eyes, and held his breath in his throat, unable to swear.

"Let me deal with the urgent matters first." Xing Zhan got up and began to clean the tea house.

There is still half an hour before the tea house will open, and the fight last night did not cause a small loss.A window on the second floor was completely shattered, and broken glass scattered all over the floor.

"Didn't you hire several people, ask them to help." Gong Mu floated around in a bored manner.

"They're all little girls. It would be troublesome to get hurt by so many broken glass. Besides, I'm not allowed to do the physical work. And how should I explain it? If I’m afraid, I’d better clean it myself.”

He swept the broken glass together, wrapped it in newspaper, wrapped it with tape and threw it next to the trash can, and moved the broken tables and chairs to the back door.He carried a table by himself, walked like flying, and cleaned up the messy tea house in a few rounds.Wait for a few girls to come to work, just wipe down the tables and chairs and you can open for business.

After successfully opening the door, Xing Zhan has to continue to work, and he has to swallow all the losses himself, which makes him very depressed.

He ordered the glass first, and then ordered the tables and chairs. The carpenter who helped him to order the tables and chairs was Zhou Genliang, an acquaintance of his. It was a joke to hear that he caught a thief and almost destroyed the shop.

"Just this one, the same as the original one." Xing Zhan quickly decided on the wood and style.

"Okay, I'll do the math for you and guarantee the lowest price."

Zhou Genliang was clicking on the calculator, and Xing Zhan was wandering around the shop bored.In addition to making furniture for others, this carpenter also carves some wooden handicrafts himself, and there are several of them in various shops.

Xing Zhan picked up a statue of Maitreya Buddha. The smiling Maitreya Buddha was very vivid with a big belly and a big bag. "Your level is getting higher and higher. Next time I ask you to order something, I'm afraid it won't be at this price."

Zhou Genliang smiled and said, "I'm sure I won't charge you much for your brother Zhan's work. A while ago, Lu Wei asked me to make a closet, but I was so mad."

"Lu Wei?" Lu Wei is the owner of the cafe in the market. Hearing his name, Xing Zhan was a little concerned.

"Yes, the price I offered didn't suit his wishes, so he stood at the door of my store and yelled. The price I gave him was definitely lower than the market price. Do you think he is wicked or stingy? If he wants a bargain, don't come to me. ah."

Xing Zhan had a lump in his heart and didn't want to answer the conversation, so he put down Maitreya Buddha and went to look at other wood carvings.

A mask hanging by the door caught his attention.

The mask is black and red in wood, with a layer of shiny pulp on the surface. There are double horns around the eyebrows, protruding laughing muscles, and long pointed fangs. It is ferocious and ferocious. It looks like a ghost. Unbelievably weird.

Xing Zhan only took one look, and felt as if he was about to be sucked in by those eyes, and couldn't help reaching out to touch them.

Seeing that his hand was about to touch the ghost mask, Gong Mu waved and stopped in front of him.

Facing Shang Gong Mu's dark eyes, Xing Zhan was like waking up from a dream, with sweat dripping down his clothes.

"You carved this mask too?" Xing Zhan asked.

Zhou Genliang looked up: "It was given to me when I brought in the wood. I thought it looked fierce, so I hung it at the door to drive away evil spirits."

"You really dare to hang up on anything."

Looking at the ghost mask again, he was no longer as fascinated as before, Xing Zhan shook his head, and took a few steps back with lingering fear.
