Ghosts go the same way

"Wait, let Tuesday come into your shadow, there is something in my room, he will probably feel uncomfortable." But before entering the door, the old man waved his hand, "And you should also be careful in the future, especially since you will come into contact with more and more people. The more people in the circle, everyone will have one or two things for self-defense. We don’t have any, because we knew that you had him with you that day, but you didn’t take it with you.”

Xiao Jiu's expression immediately became tense: "Thank you, Master, for reminding me."

"Thank you, Mr. Huang." Tuesday also thanked Xiao Jiu gratefully, nodded his goodbyes to Xiao Jiu, and entered the shadow.

This is a matter of experience. Although it is a very normal and simple thing for the old man, for a person and a ghost who have almost never had contact with real people in the circle, it is something that they can hardly think of unless others mention it.For the old man to put himself in their shoes like this shows his concern for them more than Chuan Yi.

Mr. Huang smiled, and beckoned Xiao Jiu to enter the room. After entering, he walked around the room by himself, then looked at Xiao Jiu and asked, "Is there anything in this room that makes you 'feel'? Okay. The bad ones count."

I feel that this word is too abstract, but it is not difficult to understand. Speaking of it should be what makes Xiao Jiu feel different.

The old man's room is similar to Xiao Jiu's, and it is still in the classic style of Sesame Blossom.If it is observed with the naked eye, Xiao Jiu can find something wrong with a light scan. First, there is a storage box the size of a lunch box on the bedside table, but when you look at the pink Hello Kitty, you know that it does not match the overall decoration of the house. Things will not be the old man's belongings.

However, this is seen and analyzed, not felt.

So, in the end Xiao Jiu just shook his head: "No."

"Nothing?" The old man deliberately squinted at the storage box.

"Nothing at all."

"It seems that although you can see ghosts, you have no talent in pupil skills and inspiration." After reaching this conclusion, the old man further explained, "People who are capable can generally see ghosts. But deeper things, In addition to acquired training, special talents in pupil technique and inspiration are also required."

Xiao Jiu nodded, knowing that this should be the name of the distinguishing ability.

"Then this is it." The old man didn't go to get the girly storage box, but opened the closet, took out a small apricot-yellow bag from inside, and handed the bag to Xiao Jiu, "Look."

Xiao Jiu took it, opened the bag, and found that there were white buttons the size of kidney beans inside. He put his hand into the small bag, wanting to take one out for a closer look, but just as soon as he reached into the bag, he withdrew his hand. He came back, and swayed towards a place where there was no one on the other side—just now he felt a cold flush, as if something sticky was wrapped around his fingertips: "The problem with the buttons?"

The old man nodded, and took his own purple sand pot to catch hot water in the water dispenser in the cabinet: "Take one out and have a look, it won't hurt you."

When the old man said so, Xiao Jiu simply pulled out a button.Originally, he thought that the material of this thing was plastic, but when he held it in his hand, he realized that he was wrong.Moreover, the workmanship of this button is very exquisite, with beautiful cloud patterns carved on it.Xiao Jiu turned the button on his fingertips, and suddenly there was a scream like fingernails scraping on the glass, which made Xiao Jiu's ears sore. A small sticky and distorted black object, but the mass evaporated in the air in an instant, and Xiao Jiu, who was startled, looked at the button in his hand again, and found that the button seemed to have changed a lot compared to just now. Gotta be gray?

Xiao Jiu raised his head and looked at the old man with questioning eyes, but found that the old man was also looking at him at the same time, and there was that obscene smile on his face again, Xiao Jiu was speechless.

"Ahem!" Realizing that he was discovered again for being disrespectful, the old man coughed twice, making his facial muscles seem to return to normal, "It seems that you are mainly attacking... No, it's okay to stay by your side on Tuesday Ah? It should be said that you are still of the unconscious counterattack type."

"?"

"Let's talk about what's in front of us first." Although the question mark in Xiao Jiu's eyes could be clearly seen, the old man obviously didn't intend to tell him what he meant by what he was saying right now, "I think you have also guessed these buttons, which trigger The culprit of the water ghost incident, they were carved out of human bones."

Xiao Jiu's hand trembled subconsciously. After all, no matter how courageous he was, he did not come from a primitive tribe with special customs. As a modern person, he could keep calm when facing corpses, but when faced with a corpse carved from human bones Even if I am not afraid of the "work of art", the disgust and discomfort are still very strong.

"I don't know that the person who carved it was a human bone." The old man who seemed to be panting after speaking continued, and Xiao Jiu's resentment subsided a lot, "That person is a bone carver, and he picked it up by the river. Two bones, I didn’t know they were human bones. He carved these bones into buttons and sold them on Taobao, and they were bought by a group of college students playing cosplay. They happened to come here to take pictures last year, and they should have met you The victim bumped into each other."

A man of his age can still say names like Taobao and COSPLAY so smoothly and so authentically, obviously he also knows the meaning here.But now Xiao Jiu's attention is focused on the water ghost, and he doesn't think about these things.

"Isn't everyone entangled?" Then there are many people who have handled these buttons, Taobao, express delivery, and college students' schools.

"Yeah." The old man looked satisfied with Xiao Jiu's expression. Although Xiao Jiu is very young and has not received an authentic circle education, he reacted quickly to many things, and he listened carefully when taught, " Those who were haunted were all girls, and they all had three things in common: first, they were all young and beautiful; Such a girl has a grudge, or is such a girl closest to her living situation. Now there is further salvage in the river where his bones were found, and it has also been accepted by local veterans. They are also investigating They are looking for missing persons and want to find out the identity of the girl. However, these bones were tested when they were sent, and the person has been dead for more than five years, so it is a bit difficult to find clues. Of course, those are not our business."

This means that the ghost matter can definitely be handled satisfactorily.As for people, or whether the pile of bones will be retrieved by relatives again, it is beyond the scope of their ability.

Although everything was just what the old man was saying, except for this strange bag of human bone buttons, Xiao Jiu didn't see any other witnesses.But once the trust between people is established, it will be a wonderful thing.So now, when the old man said it, Xiao Jiu believed it.

Xiao Jiu nodded, refastened the bag in his hand, and put it on the table.

His action was very ordinary, but it also meant that the matter was completed, so the bag in Xiao Jiu's hand just rubbed against the table.Hearing the sound of "Bang!", the old man slapped the table, and shouted "Okay!" Hahaha laughed wildly and jumped up.

——If the national football team wins the World Cup one day, [-]% of the fans will act like this. This is no longer happy, but daydreaming hysteria...

"Master..." Xiao Jiu called out tentatively, afraid that the old man would have a heart attack or something.

"Finally! Finally! I've been aggrieved for decades!" But the old man didn't seem to hear it, he walked back and forth in the room, and still took two steps and bumped on the spot, his movements were like those of a preschool child Buying ice cream and eating it is like jumping happily.

"Master!" Xiao Jiu stood up, shouted again loudly, and at the same time, he was ready to shake the old man twice, because Huang Lao's performance now looks like Fan Jin who won the middle school.

Fortunately, the old man was stunned by this call. He let out a breath and saw that Xiao Jiu's face was a little red, so he quickly took out a very old suede jewelry box from his pocket: "Here is A piece of jade, I heard from the older generation that it can nourish the soul, so don’t let Tuesday stay in your shadow. This is my meeting gift for you.”

"Thank you, Master." Xiao Jiu simply took the things over. He already owes the old man a lot of favors now, but this kind of thing is of great benefit to Tuesday, but he will never refuse things that he can't get himself. , "Master, can I ask why you are so happy?"

His talent is good, although Xiao Jiu and Wubi don't know how these talents were born overnight, but obviously everyone in the circle who came into contact with him thinks so.But if it's just because of good talent, Xiao Jiu doesn't think it will make the old man happy to the extent just now.

"Of course I'm happy. Our sect has a special magic weapon, which allows me to absorb the aura from you disciples for my own use. The stronger you are, the stronger the aura I can absorb, which happens to prolong life. Why, are you still willing?" Don't want me to be your master?"

"Of course I would." Xiao Jiu looked at the old man helplessly, and immediately knew that this was the old man's old urchin's nature, teasing him.However, even if it was true, Xiao Jiu would not go back on his word, the old man could just smoke, as long as he could continue to see Tuesday, he would be satisfied if he could touch Tuesday.

The old man raised his hand and patted Xiao Jiu on the shoulder, and he really laughed: "Just kidding you! As for the reason... have you read martial arts novels? Well, do you know Huashan Lunjian? Every five years in our circle, There is a 'Huashan Discussion of Swords'!"
