Ancient Art of Sealing Ghosts

Early in the morning, my mother followed a few neighborhood aunts to visit the New Year, leaving us sitting on the sofa in the living room with sad faces.

Old Chu was very hangover, his eyes were bloodshot, he frowned and looked at Xiao Hai who was standing next to me, and sighed: "When you just came back, I saw that the ghost aura on your body disappeared, and I thought that the vertical ghost mark had already let you go. You solved it, I didn't expect..."

Although Dao Feng and the others couldn't see Xiao Hai, they could see the black pattern on my hand, so they knew that things were not that simple.

I rubbed my fingers uneasily, looked at Xiao Hai's beautiful appearance, and said, "Come back as soon as you come back, that's pretty good, if you have to go out later, it will be troublesome without ghost slaves by your side."

The uncle tapped the cigarette butt in the ashtray and asked, "When did your vertical ghost mark disappear? This ghost slave only appeared this morning? Was there no sign before?"

"I don't know either." I pressed my forehead and said with a headache: "I told you that I opened a door before entering that special space, right? It probably disappeared at that time. The door is very strange. There are many ghost handprints. When I opened it, I was guided by those evil spirits, but there was only one that really guided me to operate correctly. I suspect that it might be Xiaohai... This can explain why Tonobu needs my left hand, because only the one with Only those who are ghost slaves can enter, and not long after I entered, I found that Xiao Hai and Zong Ghost Seal had disappeared."

"Then the vertical ghost seal didn't reappear until today?" the uncle asked.

"Yeah." I nodded, "I suspect that there might be some special power in that door that can completely restrain the ghost slave, but I don't understand how Xiao Hai came back. There is no way to know, I can't see through her memory."

Everyone nodded in understanding at the same time, and Lao Chu finally waved his hand helplessly and said: "Then let's not worry about it, go and settle the matter in front of us first, and then find a way to eliminate the vertical ghost mark after the matter is resolved..."

I responded, and watched Lao Chu walk back to the house exhaustedly to continue resting, thinking that the Chu family has not resolved the issue of ghost seals for many generations, obviously there is no rush, and a long-term plan is still needed.

Dao Feng looked at the patterns on my fingers and frowned, as if he was very disgusted with this vertical ghost mark. I think he might be jealous of ghost slaves consuming the life of the ghost master, and he was afraid that I would be in danger.

I smiled at him and told him not to worry, after the disappearance of the vertical ghost mark this time, I suddenly had a little inspiration in my head, maybe I can rely on this in the future to solve the problem or find the loophole of the vertical ghost mark, so as to completely terminate the contract the goal of.

The first few days of the first day of the lunar new year are not suitable for going out. We held the clues left by Chu Wentian in our hands. Although we were eager, we did not rush to look for them.

It took many days for everyone to be noisy, and it was not ready until mid-February.

I went out just after the new year, my mother was very reluctant, and thought that my son couldn't stay at home all the time at such an age, it would be better to go out and do something, so she told us to pay attention to safety on the road, and when driving Be careful.

We took all the things we should bring, chose the closest target, and prepared to start here first.

According to Chu Wentian, the five of them scattered to various places after they escaped. At the beginning, they didn't trust each other. Later, they found that their memories were deviated or even confused, so they were forced to join forces again.

The first cooperation was not long after that incident. The five lived separately for a period of time, and they reunited under the call of Boss Hai, and decided to go to that place again to find out the truth of the year.

When they set off, they asked a local kid to help take pictures, that is, the black-and-white photo that was similar to a candid photo. The five people still thought they were the big heads on the road, so they didn't stand together to take pictures according to the public method, but chose the most natural one. It was also the first time for the child to use that old-fashioned camera, so the shooting was very unsafe.

I have to say that the more awesome the characters are, the weirder their thoughts are. According to me, these five people are all over the top.

One of the clues that Chu Wentian left uncle was the address of the child who helped take pictures, but according to the age, this child is probably already a figure of uncle or grandfather, we have to respect him when we see him A senior.

The first cooperation was forced to give up halfway because the five of them could not reach a consensus. It is still the old saying that the relationship that has already cracked cannot be repaired. Trust is the most untestable thing. They broke up when they were about to reach their destination, and several years passed intermittently.

The second cooperation was relatively recent, and it was too late when the five of them found that their memories were constantly being emptied. They couldn't even remember the place they went to at that time, but this is not the scariest thing, the scariest thing It's because they haven't changed in any way after that incident, no matter their age or appearance.

The five of them seem to have completely stopped the time of their bodies, suicide is useless, they will still wake up after a short coma, and become the legendary immortals.

Immortality is a fantasy in the eyes of many people, but to them it is the beginning of a nightmare, because these five people are forever separated from the times, no matter how much the world changes, they will not change in the slightest, they cannot Staying in one place for a long time, even incognito is not possible.

It can be said that there is no room for the five of them in this world.

Naturally, he couldn't return to his family and couldn't reunite with his family.

So when they collaborated for the second time, they left photos again as evidence of their immortality, or as a memory point to prevent their memories from disappearing again and make them forget what they had done.

However, that cooperation also had no effect. Chu Wentian and the other five had forgotten too many things. Basically, they couldn’t even remember where they stayed. If they wanted to find out the truth, they had to collect clues bit by bit and start from scratch. .

That's why there are a few of us joining, which is the beginning of all this.

Chu Wentian believes that they should leave some information in their past residences, and hope that we can find some clues if we search slowly.He could do these things by himself, but Chu Wentian said that he has no time, and he must get rid of the thing that makes them inhuman and ghost before the memory is cleared next time.

I think Dao Yan probably had the same idea, so he went to find Chu Wentian alone after telling Dao Feng some things.

In the car, the uncle analyzed the reasons little by little, and added some personal opinions. He thought that we wanted to find the whereabouts of Chu Wentian and others, or the place where those people disappeared. This black and white photo suggested The location is the best clue, because that is the last stop before their departure, and the information left there must be the most and most reliable.

But to be on the safe side, we should find out the information Chu Wentian left one by one.

The nearest target is Tianjin, and we found the place within a few hours of driving.

Chu Wentian said that this is where Boss Hai, the bald man, lived. He also took care of a woman here. That woman was named Lin Xiang, and she followed him since she was 15 years old. Now that Boss Hai disappeared, Lin Xiang Only one person runs the bar left by Boss Hai.

After we inquired about Lin Xiang's address, we found that the area was very chaotic, and we could often see gangsters with their shoulders and backs pressing on the road.

The houses where Lin Xiang lives are relatively old, and they look like they have been around for a while, and most of the residents here are elderly uncles and aunts.After we confirmed the address, we asked Sister Xuan to check it out by herself first. If we meet up, four of us will go together, which will easily cause misunderstandings.

Sister Xuan is quick-witted and smart, and she has done a lot of this kind of thing, so she knows what to say when meeting someone, so we are very relieved to leave it to her.

Unexpectedly, less than 10 minutes later, Sister Xuan came back with a disappointed face. When she got into the car, she was still angry, took a few sips of mineral water, and cursed: "Fucking that woman is too cute!" I don't know how to flatter, this is the first time my old lady has encountered such an unreasonable one."

The uncle patted her and motioned, "Tell me what's going on."

It turned out that Sister Xuan explained her intentions after she knocked on the door, and told the woman that she was a descendant of Boss Hai, and that she came here to get back what Boss Hai told her. She hoped that Lin Xiang could take her to Boss Hai's former residence to have a look.

Unexpectedly, when Lin Xiang heard the name of Boss Hai, she first frowned and swept Sister Xuan up and down, and then said in an ambiguous tone: "Oh, I said why didn't that dead ghost come back? It turned out that he found another one, go tell him If you want something, go back and get it by yourself, my mother has been waiting for him here for so many years, even if she helps him look after the house, she has to give some favors!"

After finishing speaking, Lin Xiang locked the door, and ignored Sister Xuan's explanations outside the door.

If it weren't for the fact that we only had vague information and no definite location, sister Xuan would probably have turned her face long ago.

Seeing that Sister Xuan's face turned red with anger, the uncle quickly comforted him: "You don't have to be angry with her, at least we already know that the house is still in her hands, and judging by her attitude, it should be that she has no more love for Boss Hai. , This shows that we still have a chance. The most important thing now is to find out where Boss Hai's house is, is it the one she lives in now, or somewhere else? After knowing the location of the house, what should we do? Going in, it is of course best to get the key from Lin Xiang, but she needs to hand it over voluntarily. For such a woman, if she is too hard, she may break the pot and ruin our business .”

"Then what should we do now?" I asked, "Sister Xuan can no longer show up, who should I let go next, and how can I get close to her?"

The uncle looked at the letter left by Chu Wentian again, frowned and thought for a moment, then said: "Go have a meal first, and go to her bar later, maybe you can find something useful."

After making a plan, we calmed down and started discussing where to eat.

Sister Xuan had long heard that Goubuli steamed stuffed buns in Tianjin were famous, so she decided to eat steamed stuffed buns.

Then we drove around the city in a very conspicuous Cayenne, and saw nearly ten steamed stuffed bun shops with Goubuli signs, and there was even one called "Tianjin Goubuli Steamed Bun Main Store"...
