Modern Little Town God

After hearing Ruan Jiao's confirmation, Lu Zixuan couldn't help but gasp.

"It's really a ghost..." Responding to Ruan Jiao's question, she moved her throat with difficulty, trying to recall the dream that frightened her to the extreme, and described it in a panic, "I don't know the specific content. I remember, I just felt that the sky was covered with blood red, there was a voice crying, I was dizzy from crying, and then a very vicious ghost rushed over, I felt like my neck was being strangled, and then I could Woke up...waking up."

Ruan Jiao frowned. The dream was really messy, but it sounded like she wanted to kill Lu Zixuan.

After thinking for a while, he asked again: "Miss Lu, have you ever offended anyone?"

Lu Zixuan was a little scared: "You mean, because this is not an ordinary offense, is it the intentional revenge of the person I offended?" She quickly reflected on the past and shook her head, "No, I don't remember what I offended People. I just joined the new company. When I was in school, I was busy studying and rarely interacted with people. I probably didn’t offend anyone..."

As she was talking, she suddenly said nervously: "Student Ruan, I was often followed by people before, and it was very annoying. I called the police. Could it be because I offended someone?"

Ruan Jiao thought for a while and said, "It's possible."

Lu Zixuan was a little angry and scared: "They followed me, what's wrong with me calling the police? Besides, the police just warned them not to do this kind of thing again. Why, why..."

Ruan Jiao pondered and said: "Not all ghosts can be reasonable. Some people become ghosts after death. They are overwhelmed by obsession. They only remember the people and things they want to remember the most. Sometimes they just act instinctively. In your case , It is indeed possible that it was done by the people who followed you. Miss Lu, do you still remember who those people are?"

Lu Zixuan suddenly became embarrassed, and said, "This...there are quite a lot, I didn't remember..."

Ruan Jiao was stunned for a moment, and his expression suddenly became a little weird.

So it's a habit to be followed often?No wonder he discovered it so early when he was being followed by a ghost.

"If you don't remember, it's best to ask first, whether the person who followed you before has died recently." Ruan Jiao said, "It's best to find out, if you can't find or don't have that person... then it may be someone else. For example, there is a ghost looking for a substitute, or you accidentally bumped into something, which angered the ghost or attracted the attention of the ghost. You'd better think about such things, the more clues you provide, the easier things will be solve."

Lu Zixuan continued to try hard to remember, but found nothing.

"No, my life hasn't changed much, and I haven't touched anything special...I'll ask my friends to find out if anyone I knew died recently."

Ruan Jiao nodded and said, "As soon as possible, I still have class after three o'clock in the afternoon."

Lu Zixuan: "...OK."

·

In order to get her life back on track as soon as possible, Lu Zixuan immediately went to call her former friends. Of course, she would not say anything about her recent troubles, but just asked her former classmates if they still had contact, and mentioned her previous life .Those who are familiar with her know that she was often followed by boys when she was in school-this is something that many beautiful girls will encounter, but she meets a lot of them-it is inevitable to talk about those people.

Someone really mentioned it and said, "Zixuan, do you still remember? There were two groups of gangsters who wanted to follow you, and they fought for you to decide who would follow and who wouldn't. Then one group won, I was about to talk to you, but someone tipped you off, so you called the police, and then all the losers and winners were caught by the police, and they went back to the police to educate them."

Lu Zixuan recalled a little, and then remembered.At that time, she heard that two groups of people were going to fight in her name. She felt very annoying and scared, and it was the first time she called the police.Those people never came after being educated, and she believed that only the police station had the deterrent effect.She used the same method for anyone who refused to listen to repeated persuasion and the teacher didn't care.

"Remember, what's wrong?"

The man said with some regret: "Several of those two groups of gangsters went out to work later. I heard that some of them went to the imperial capital, which made many people envious. In the end, he didn't have that life. He was hit by a car while receiving his salary. Died. The person who caused the accident was a drunk driver, and he lost a lot of money to their family, so his parents must have something to depend on..."

The voice on the phone continued, but Lu Zixuan became a little dazed.

"You said... who died? When did he die?"

The man was stunned and said, "That's the one named Ding Hai. He died not long ago. I don't know when."

Lu Zixuan has a little impression of this name, but she doesn't remember who it is, but no matter whether she remembers it or not, there really is such a person who followed her and was sent to the police by her to die, and the place of death is actually in the imperial capital .In other words, it would be this... Ding Hai?

Lu Zixuan didn't know how she hung up the phone. She raised her head and told Ruan Jiao what happened.

Ruan Jiao murmured, "The possibility is not small."

Lu Zixuan asked eagerly, "Can you catch him now?"

Ruan Jiao waved his hand: "I'm not sure if it's true. Besides, you only know the name. How can you do it out of thin air? Now you'd better find his birth date or something close to you. I can try to recruit his soul."

Many Taoist priests can use these two things to attract ghosts, and the City God is no exception. Whether the Taoist priests can be successfully recruited depends on their strength, but the City God only needs to give an order. It also depends on Taoism-only ferocious ghosts or ghosts that are sheltered by something can refuse to summon.

But Ruan Jiao is now just a county town god, and the area of ​​recruiting ghosts is only ten miles.Moreover, there are many people in the imperial capital, and of course there are many ghosts. Unless it is in a very open place, he usually does not dare to summon ghosts - there will be no place to stand.

If Lu Zixuan could provide the date of birth, then he could be called by name.

After hearing Ruan Jiao's words, Lu Zixuan hesitated and said, "...Isn't it just a name?"

Ruan Jiao knew that she really wanted to solve the problem quickly, so she didn't mind, so she said: "You can try with only the first name, but there are many ghosts with the same name and surname. Can you recognize them all? The error rate of recruiting ghosts is small if you use them as a medium, if you really can’t, you can find his photos, I called those ghosts to compare with the photos.”

Lu Zixuan shivered.

Knowing that there are ghosts following him is scary enough, if a large group of ghosts come... then, then...

She said weakly: "When I called you on the mobile phone before, I felt something staring at me. He, is he really not around me now?"

Ruan Jiao had seen it a long time ago, and said, "It's not there anymore. I've seen it since I came into the community, and there's nothing nearby."

Lu Zixuan was extremely powerless.

Ruan Jiao knew that she was in a hurry, so she made another suggestion, saying: "How about this, you will come with me later, and you will sit in the nearby square when I am in class. There are many people there and the sun is strong. You draw a talisman, and you hold the talisman in your hand to bask in the sun, which can protect you to the greatest extent. After class, I will go to the square to find you and come back with you. At night, I will wait for the ghost, if he directly If he comes over, I'll help him catch it. If he feels that I can't come, you can ask your friends more... Photos, birthdays, etc. are fine. Let's do both, how about it?"

Listening to Ruan Jiao speaking calmly and confidently, Lu Zixuan's heart gradually calmed down.

She took a deep breath and said sincerely, "Then everything is up to you, student Ruan."

Ruan Jiao smiled and said, "Success, leave it to me."

After speaking, Lu Zixuan followed Ruan Jiao out.

Ruan Jiao took her to Folk Street to buy talisman paper, talisman pens and other things to take with her, and then stood on the side of the road to take a taxi.

Lu Zixuan didn't know if it was her own psychological effect, but when she walked beside Ruan Jiao, the fear of being stared at all along disappeared.

She told this to Ruan Jiao, and Ruan Jiao raised her eyebrows and said, "Because there are no ghosts watching you now."

Lu Zixuan breathed a sigh of relief: "Maybe I'm afraid of you."

Ruan Jiao smiled: "If this is troublesome, the ghost is afraid that I won't come out, and I can't follow you every day. If the ghost comes back after I leave, what will you do?"

Lu Zixuan's expression froze.

Ruan Jiao said, "I'm just kidding, I'll definitely catch it for you, don't worry."

Lu Zixuan was relieved, she didn't realize that her expression relaxed a lot, and she was no longer so tense.

Ruan Jiao didn't say any more, this girl's spirit is much better, she's fine.

There are a lot of cars in the imperial capital, and there are also a lot of people. At the moment, there are no cars coming.

Suddenly, a low-key luxury car stopped in front of Ruan Jiao, with the windows rolled down.

Then came a slightly lower voice: "Junior Ruan, why didn't you go to class?"

Ruan Jiao: "..."

You don't even need to tell who the voice is, just listen to the tone of the voice.

"Senior Zong." He leaned against the car window, looked at the young man with a stern face and smiled, "Why are you here?"

·

Zong Suizhong just went to talk about a cooperation with someone, and when he was driving back to the company, he saw the elementary school boy he was going to train standing at the intersection with a young girl waiting for a taxi—but it was just after noon, obviously this area is not easy to get a taxi .He remembered that the elementary school boy had classes in the afternoon, and if he waited a while, it would be very crowded and he might be late.

So he drove over, ready to take his elementary school brother for a ride.

However, Zong Suizhong just asked a question, but was asked back.

"I'm done talking, passing by." He replied, and then waited for the other party to answer.

However, the younger brother said...

"I'm here to buy talisman paper to draw talismans."

Zong Suizhong: "..."

·

Ruan Jiao sat in the co-pilot and fastened his seat belt.

Lu Zixuan took a cautious look at Zong Suizhong and sat in the back seat.

Zong Suizhong only nodded slightly when Lu Zixuan got into the car, and didn't say anything to her. He turned to Ruan Jiao and asked, "Have you had lunch yet?"

Ruan Jiao glanced at Zong Suizhong quietly, and said, "Not yet."

Zong Suizhong didn't understand this look, but thinking that the other party was much younger than him, he thought it might be some kind of stalking between young people, so he didn't ask any more questions, just took out a salty bread from the small box below, Pass a bottle of water to Ruan Jiao.

"Put your stomach first, and I'll take you back to school."

Ruan Jiao shook his head quickly: "No, I'm going to the nearby ceramic factory."

Zong Suizhong frowned: "Your afternoon..."

Ruan Jiao smiled dryly: "I remember, I have a class in the afternoon. But the class is after three o'clock, and there are still two hours left, so I can make it in time."

Zong Suizhong: "There will be a traffic jam."

Ruan Jiao was taken aback for a moment before realizing it.

"That's right, I forgot. It will be the peak period in a while." Even if the senior Zong didn't mention it, he would definitely not skip class, so he had to say, "Then I will trouble the senior to send me back to school. This ceramic factory... I will come back another day."

Zong Sui looked at his face full of disappointment, paused and said, "What are you going to the ceramics factory for?"

Ruan Jiao: "I'm going to buy clay pots." He looked at the three hanging on his shoulders, and sighed, "I don't have enough at home."

Zong Suizhong followed Ruan Jiao's line of sight and saw three small jars.Somehow, they just feel weird.

Then he thought about the phrase "not enough"—what wasn't enough?

Zong Suizhong didn't think deeply about it, and just said, "What kind do you want? I'll ask someone to decide, and come and get it when you hand in your paper later."

Ruan Jiao's eyes lit up immediately, and he said immediately, "Twenty of this kind of small jars are needed, and the kind of wine jars, which are half arm high, need ten!"
