Celestial Master I

After eating, Henry Zhang turned on the TV, which was reporting the killing of Zhu Yao, and the shot was a close-up of the periphery of the villa.

"He died a terrible death."

At that time, Henry Zhang was only concerned with saving Nie Xingfeng. When he arrived at the villa, the tragedy had already happened, so he had to call the police and leave the headache to the police uncles.

The villa was sealed off by a cordon, and the specific situation could not be seen. All that could be seen was the flashing footage-the blood-stained walls and the blood lines drawn from the corridor.

That should be the blood line that Zhu Yao wiped on the floor when he ran for his life, and the scene of him struggling desperately appeared in Nie Xingfeng's mind.

This person can be regarded as his indirect death.

On the screen, a police officer is talking about the camera.

"Our police believe that this is a premeditated serial killing. The murderer is quite brutal. We appeal to the general public, if you find any suspicious persons or information, please contact us at any time. We will strive to arrest the murderer as soon as possible."

Henry Zhang shrugged, "If the police can catch the evil spirits, what do we Taoists do?"

The door of the next bedroom was pushed open, and Huo Li walked out rubbing his eyes.

"Morning, brother."

"Hey, why are you up so early? Go to bed!"

Seeing Huo Li's constantly wagging big tail, Henry Zhang ran over in fright, grabbed his collar, carried him back to the bedroom, and slammed the door shut.

The little fox's spells are too poor, and when he is frightened, he immediately shows his original shape. Now his body has changed back, but he forgot to hide his tail.

Huo Li slammed on the door in protest: "Let me out, I'm so hungry..."

"Hey, go to bed first, and later, big brother will cook for you."

Henry Zhang was still persuading, but was pulled away by Nie Xingfeng.Nie Xingfeng opened the door, let the little guy out, and pressed his shoulder to make him turn around.

Huo Li was in a daze, didn't see Henry Zhang's wink, and twisted his butt on purpose, showing off: "Is my tail beautiful?"

Henry Zhang quickly pulled the little fox behind him, and snapped his fingers at Nie Xingfeng, "Please believe that everything you see now is an illusion."

Nie Xingfeng glanced at him and said calmly, "I didn't know you had a hobby of raising cats."

"I'm not a cat spirit, I'm a vixen spirit!"

Huo Li was in a hurry, and rushed out from behind Henry Zhang to try to defend himself, fearing that Nie Xingfeng would not believe him, he turned back into a chubby little fire fox, still wearing the pajamas just now.

"Brother idiot, the chairman is cheating on you."

Seeing the scheming smile on Nie Xingfeng's face, Henry Zhang moaned repeatedly, and squeezed out words from between his teeth: "Why didn't Zhu Yao cut harder with that knife last night!"

"What did you say?"

"Uh, it's nothing, I said, I got the knife back."

The little fox turned back into a human form, and automatically ran to the dining table to eat, while Henry Zhang took the machete and stroked it carefully.

"It's a real antique, and it will definitely sell for a good price."

Nie Xingfeng took the scimitar.

The sharp edge of the blade is quiet, and the cold air is pressing, which is worthy of a general like Li Xianting.

It seems that he guessed right before, not only had a relationship with Li Xianting in his previous life, but also had that kind of relationship.

But he didn't die by the opponent's knife, what happened after that, which caused Li Xianting to be cut in half?

"Director?"

Nie Xingfeng came back to his senses, looked at Huo Li who was sitting at the dining table happily enjoying the food, and couldn't help laughing at himself.

Ever since he met Henry Zhang, the atheism he had insisted on for more than [-] years has been completely overthrown, and he has encountered all the ghosts and ghosts, and the facts he has seen with his own eyes can't be believed.

"Huo Li, is it the homonym of "Fire Fox"?"

"Well, the little fox got lost when he came here to look for his parents. I felt sorry for him, so I took him in."

Henry Zhang said it, and asked again: "Did you encounter any other strange things in Feng's house that night? I suddenly remembered that you have become weird since that night."

No longer concealing it, Nie Xingfeng brought himself back to the era of Li Wan, and told what happened when he witnessed Li Xianting's appearance with his own eyes. After listening, Henry Zhang looked envious.

"God, not only can you break into other dimensions as you like, but you can even touch people in that dimension and change their fate. This is no longer leaving the soul, but traveling through time and space."

"What's the meaning?"

"Leaving the soul usually only happens to people who are seriously ill or dying, just like the Chen Binger incident we encountered last time, but you were able to help Li Xianting stop the talisman last night, proving that you were not leaving the soul at that time, but really went If you don't worry about Xiaoli afterwards, you won't go back to the car at all. In other words, you can use your mind to go wherever you want. If you train well, you can go to the Jurassic Age No problem, so cool..."

Nie Xingfeng didn't think this ability was cool at all, "I'm not interested in communicating with dinosaurs."

Lucky Cat does not have the concept of joking at all.

Henry Zhang looked powerless, and immediately changed the subject: "It must be because of your weird ability that I can't figure out your whereabouts. Give me this gold watch. It will have the breath of the owner after wearing it for a long time. I will look for you next time." It's that simple."

The gold watch worth [-] yuan on Nie Xingfeng's wrist was forcibly captured by Henry Zhang, and he put it on his own wrist, and said, "It won't be damaged even if it is soaked in water. It is indeed a famous watch."

"Brother, the Missing Person Curse doesn't need to be so troublesome, a single strand of hair can solve the problem."

As soon as the little fox finished speaking, Henry Zhang held his head and pressed him into the rice bowl.

"Let's eat, so many words!"

He turned his head and continued: "Li Xianting was cut in half and sealed with magic, which made him unable to reincarnate and became a vengeful spirit. It was definitely not easy for that little black cat to seal him into an oil painting, but unfortunately, decades later , Yu Qian's blood broke the seal for him again."

"You said that every time the black cat appears, it's not a warning to kill?"

"Of course not! People usually regard black cats as the embodiment of evil. In fact, on the contrary, black cats are the sworn enemies of evil. Is it enshrined as a god? But there is one thing that doesn’t make sense, Li Xianting’s soul has long been incomplete, and he formed an evil spirit with only a mouthful of resentment, how could he turn into a human form and follow Yu Qian?”

"Maybe we've overlooked something."

Nie Xingfeng closed his eyes, trying to recall what had happened in the past few days.

The matter started with Yu Qian first.That day he lost his temper with Henry Zhang for no reason, then got out of the car inexplicably, and then met Yu Qian. It seemed that he and Yu Qian were destined to meet there, and then Li Xianting's evil spirit followed her.

A flash of light flashed in Nie Xingfeng's mind.

In other words, Li Xianting has always been by his side, isn't the appearance of the black cat that night a sign?

However, if Li Xianting followed him and was controlling his own will, why didn't Henry Zhang see it?

Put this question aside first, and then think about it.

After he came into contact with Yu Qian, something happened to Yu Qian, followed by Zhu Yao. Similarly, Zhu Yao did not escape... No, it was not Zhu Yao who he came into contact with after that, but Qiu Liyan.

Suddenly remembered the gasp that came from his ear when he hung up Qiu Liyan's phone, it was not from his ear, but from Qiu Liyan's microphone, that is to say, at that time, maybe Li Xianting was beside Qiu Liyan ...

"Go to Qiu Liyan immediately, she is in danger!"

Nie Xingfeng went back to the bedroom, changed his clothes casually, and ran out. Henry Zhang hurriedly told the little fox to watch the house, and followed him out.

"You are still injured, so don't worry about it, I will drive."

Getting in the car, Nie Xingfeng was worried about Nie Ruiting, so he called him first, and as soon as he got through, he heard him asking himself on the opposite side if he had a good time with Qiu Liyan yesterday, and said that something happened to her manager. Let him comfort the beauty and so on, Nie Xingfeng hung up the phone halfway through hearing it.

However, Qiu Liyan's cell phone couldn't be connected. Seeing that Nie Xingfeng was nervous, Henry Zhang stretched out his hand and patted his leg, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, the Heavenly Master is here, no matter how big the problem is, it can be easily solved."

The mood unexpectedly calmed down, Nie Xingfeng asked: "For free?"

"Of course not. Brothers settle accounts clearly, not to mention we are just a superior-subordinate relationship. This time is a big case, and the fees are relatively high."

"Then what's your usual rate?"

Henry Zhang went to pick out the business card, and it took a long time to find that he didn't bring it, so he explained verbally: "The price generally starts from [-], and the upper limit varies. If you pay more, I will not refuse."

This guy dared to ask his parents for food and clothing.

Nie Xingfeng snorted, "You go and grab it, you make so much money, why do you still have to work in Nie's?"

"Because the Nie family has provident funds, housing allowances, and pension allowances. It is said that everything should not be just in front of the eyes. Don't forget, I still have a little fox to raise."

Dare he treat his company as a long-term meal ticket?

In order not to be so angry that he vomited blood, Nie Xingfeng stopped asking questions.

After all, they were one step too late, and when they came to Qiu Liyan's apartment, Nie Xingfeng saw that the apartment was full of people, and some police officers were coming in and out, and he knew that his premonition had come true.

"Ladies, what's the matter?" Henry Zhang smiled sweetly, and asked the Obasans beside him.

Being accosted by the little handsome guy, the bones of those fat Obasangs were half-crushed, and they immediately knew everything to say, and they couldn't stop talking.

"It was Ms. Qiu who was murdered. That star was killed by gangsters in the bedroom, and her throat was strangled alive. It was terrifying."

"I heard that Ms. Qiu's manager had an accident last night. The boss of their company was worried. They came to find her today, only to find out that she too... must be a serial murder case. The murderer is perverted and specializes in dealing with people in the entertainment industry."

"Not necessarily, maybe it was her manager who tried to court her, so she killed her, and then committed suicide. I met her in the elevator yesterday and saw her with a very handsome man. I asked if it was her boyfriend. , she actually ignored me, she was very grandiose."

Nie Xingfeng looked ugly, pulled Henry Zhang aside, and whispered, "That man is Li Xianting."

It wasn't that Qiu Liyan was so grandiose that she ignored the woman who struck up a conversation, but maybe she didn't know what was going on at all. She couldn't see Li Xianting's stalking, but other people who had nothing to do with it did.

"So, this is a force majeure factor, you can't stop the evil spirit's resentment."

"But, can you do it?"

"Well, in theory, if the money is in place, I can do it." Henry Zhang laughed.

This evil spirit is different from the ordinary spirits he has come into contact with in the past, it can gather human form, and can make people aware of his existence at will. The same reason can prove that he not only has deep resentment, but also has other powerful forces to support him. This case seems to be the trickiest of sticks.

On the way back, Henry Zhang thought in his heart to let the little fox go to Lao Jiangtou to buy more weapons and come back.These days, even the evil spirits have been upgraded, and Taoist priests have to strengthen their weapons and equipment. Anyway, Lucky Cat promised to pay, so he will just go straight for "money".

Back home, Henry Zhang kicked out the little fox who was watching TV with relish, and gave his jade bead bracelet to Nie Xingfeng. Seeing that the jade beads were strung together with eighteen pieces, each engraved with the head of an arhat, it should be to ward off evil spirits Nie Xingfeng accepted it, but he was thinking in his heart, I don’t know how much Henry Zhang would ask himself for this string of bracelets in the future.

The TV is broadcasting news about Qiu Liyan. The scene of Qiu Liyan being carried out on a stretcher flashes by, followed by photos of her before she was alive, and then the photos of Yu Qian and Zhu Yao are shown in turn. The media reporters are wildly deducing the murderer and the victim connection between.

Seeing a photo of Yu Qian in ancient costume, Nie Xingfeng's heart skipped a beat.

It turned out that the woman he was hanging out with in the dream was Yu Qian's previous life.

All along, the appearance of the woman in the dream seemed to be just a foil, and he never thought about it. Until this moment, when he saw the photo of Yu Qian in ancient costume, that face suddenly became clear.

There seemed to be a scene in front of his eyes, Li's mansion was surrounded by officers and soldiers, old and young women and children were escorted out of the mansion under the whip, the leading official was smiling complacently, he was very familiar with that face, it was Zhu Yao.

There was the non-stop sound of whipping in the cell, and a prison officer handed over the drawn confession to a person who looked exactly like Zhu Yao. The official was not tall, with a woman's feminine face, and the long whip in his hand was full of blood .

"Live up to the prince, I took advantage of that guy's unconsciousness to press my fingerprints, he is really stubborn, his hand bones and leg bones were knocked off, I just refused to recruit."

"Julie, you did a good job, but will he retract his confession later?"

Qiu Li smiled sinisterly, "Your Majesty, you are too worried. How can a person who has had his tongue cut off and his hands and feet broken be able to retract his confession?"

It seemed that someone stabbed a red-hot hook into Li Xianting's throat, and screamed in pain, shaking his heart and lungs.

"Do not!"

"Wake up!"

The shoulders were shaken vigorously, Nie Xingfeng opened his eyes, and saw Henry Zhang standing in front of him, looking at him nervously.

"It's okay, I'm fine."

Lowering his eyelids to cover the tears inside, Nie Xingfeng said: "Leave me alone for a while."

Henry Zhang was unexpectedly quiet and walked away, leaving him in a quiet little world.

Not daring to close his eyes, for fear of seeing that amazing scene again, Nie Xingfeng picked up the scimitar and looked at it silently.

Back then, was he the one who framed Li Xianting and sent him to prison?

He, Yu Qian, Zhu Yao, and Qiu Liyan knew each other in previous lives, and they were all the culprits who conspired to cause Li Xianting's unjust imprisonment, and he may be the one most responsible.

It is unrighteous to have an affair with the commander's concubine, and it is disloyal to frame him in prison. Even he himself despises him like this, but Li Xianting has never come to him to ask for his life.

There is only one reason, he still has someone to kill.

So put yourself last, and let yourself slowly torture yourself to death after fully experiencing hatred, fear, and despair.

So, who is Li Xianting's next target?

In the hallucination just now, the figure with the iron hook in his hand flashed, and he couldn't see clearly, but the smile on the corner of his mouth was all too familiar.

That person is Gu Cheng, Gu Cheng who was a cruel official in his previous life!

Everything was right, Nie Xingfeng hurriedly picked up the phone and called, but no one answered Gu Cheng's phone.

Maybe I am one step too late, and it is only natural to pay back the debt, and I cannot avoid it. Even after several lifetimes, what is owed must be paid back.

The ringtone of the mobile phone interrupted Nie Xingfeng's contemplation. Seeing that the caller ID was Gu Cheng, he hurriedly pressed to answer.

"Xingfeng, I just saw your call, sorry! I'm in the hospital, so I can't answer your call immediately."

"Hospital!"

Nie Xingfeng’s cry immediately drew Henry Zhang over, and asked him with his eyes, he shook his head hurriedly, indicating that it was okay.

"Don't be nervous, I just had a stomach problem and couldn't eat, so I was on an IV in the hospital. Anyway, it's the old man's hospital, so it's not bad to live in and have someone take care of you."

Nie Xingfeng breathed a sigh of relief.

The successive changes in the past few days have made him lose his composure completely.

"By the way, Xingfeng, did the police bother you?"

"Trouble me?"

"That's right, both Qiu Liyan and Zhu Yao had contacted you before the accident, and your business card was at the scene of Yu Qian's accident, didn't you notice all of this?"

Nie Xingfeng clenched the hand holding the phone tightly.

With the means of the Gu family, it is not difficult to get information out. It may be that Mr. Gu saw that the three dead people were related to his son, so he went to inquire, but he did not expect to find out about himself.

The police found that he had been in contact with the dead, but they didn't ask him. It can be seen that he has been regarded as a suspect, but because of Nie's reputation, he dare not act rashly. Maybe there are plainclothes policemen waiting under his apartment now. It's on.

"I did not do that."

"I know."

Gu Cheng's voice sounded a little weird through the receiver.

"That evil spirit did it. There's always been a cat walking around me these days. We saw that black cat on the road after leaving Feng's banquet that night. Do you remember?"

"I remember."

Nie Xingfeng's voice was flat, but his heart was filled with doubts.

How did Gu Cheng know about Li Xianting?Does he have the same memories of previous lives as Zhu Yao?In this way, he must have known that Li Xianting would find him.

"That is to say, after he killed Yu Qian and the others, he will come to kill us. Can you come to my place tonight? Just you, let's discuss together and see how we can escape."

Nie Xingfeng looked at Henry Zhang who was sitting not far away. He was staring at himself intently with blue pupils, trying to find out what he said from his words.

"OK."

"That night at nine o'clock, you come to the sixth floor of the ward of St. Ann's Hospital. Enter through the side door. The password is ××××. My ward is on the third floor. See you soon."

Nie Xingfeng hung up the phone, and Henry Zhang rushed over immediately, "Who is it?"

"Gu Cheng. He has an upset stomach and is on an IV in the hospital. We chatted casually."

Nie Xingfeng looked back at Henry Zhang with a calm expression on his face.

Lucky Cat is lying!

Henry Zhang narrowed his pupils slightly, feeling resentful in his heart.

His intuition has always been tried and tested, even if Nie Xingfeng's expression showed no flaws, he still couldn't convince him.

This guy is definitely a civet cat!

Fox + cat equals a very cunning beckoning cat!

Gu Cheng turned off his phone and looked at the two people in the ward.

His father, Gu Xiankai, couldn't hold back, and hurriedly asked, "How is it? Did Xingfeng say he would come?"

Gu Cheng turned his head to another person, "Nine o'clock in the evening, he said he would come."

The man was in his early forties, with ordinary appearance and ordinary clothes. The only unusual thing was his pair of black pupils, which were dark and deep, emitting a cold light.

"Is he sure to come?"

"Yes, Nie Xingfeng never misses appointments."

Gu Cheng took out the lighter and wanted to light a cigarette, but his fingers kept trembling, and he didn't light it for a long time. The man lit it for him, and said, "Calm down, after tonight, everything will be over."

Gu Xiankai hurriedly asked: "Mr. Lin, can Xingfeng really attract that evil spirit?"

"Judging from all the signs, the evil spirit seems to have a lot to do with him, and he has a very yin constitution, which is easy to attract souls to appear, and his life is rich and noble, and can also suppress evil spirits. Therefore, he can get twice the result with half the effort. Mr. Gu, Don’t worry, get rid of the evil, and I will help you through this calamity.”

Gu Cheng didn't make a sound, just sucked hard on the cigarette in his hand.

Ever since he saw the ghost lying on Yu Qian's body at the banquet that night, he has been in a state of extreme panic. The black cat always appeared in his sight strangely. It can be called a coincidence once or twice, but...often Woolen cloth?

He saw the news of Yu Qian's death, then Zhu Yao, and then Qiu Liyan.

The next one should be him.

Lin Chunqing was a Taoist invited by his father to help him subdue the evil spirits. He accepted Lin Chunqing's arrangement and called Nie Xingfeng to lure him to the hospital. All the patients in this building were transferred to other hospitals. After nine o'clock in the evening, it will become a dead building, so that Lin Chunqing can make an enchantment to catch the evil spirits in the urn.

The only fly in the ointment is that he must stay. Nie Xingfeng is the bait, and so is he. In order to end the nightmare forever, he can only bite the bullet and agree.

Now I just hope that as Lin Chunqing said, everything will be resolved tonight.

Nie Xingfeng parked his car in the hospital parking lot.

Just now he told Henry Zhang that he was going to a nearby convenience store to buy things. Henry Zhang was busy arguing with the little fox for the TV remote control. He had no doubts at all, and only gave him two talismans, asking him not to delay outside, and go back early .

He took off the jade beads on his wrist and put them on the car together with the two talismans. He came here tonight to settle the grievances and grievances with Li Xianting in the past life, and he didn't need any amulets.

Looking in the rearview mirror, a very ordinary car also drove in and stopped not far away.

The car has been following him since he left the house. It should be a plainclothes policeman.

Nie Xingfeng got out of the car, came to the car following him, knocked on the window, and the window was pulled down immediately.

The two policemen were not very old, one had a calm face, with a world-savvy tact, the other was handsome and handsome, reacting unprepared to his appearance, obviously a rookie.

Nie Xingfeng smiled at them: "Just follow here. If I haven't come out tomorrow morning, please notify my family."

Watching Nie Xingfeng leave, the rookie police officer immediately asked his superior.

"Boss, we've been discovered, do you still want to follow? The victim's name before his death was Li Xianting, not Nie Xingfeng."

"Of course!" His boss Chu Feng said, "It's strange that he had a head injury, and he came to the hospital so late, there must be something wrong."

"However, he smiled strangely just now, maybe there is an ambush inside, do you want to call some more brothers?"

"Chang Qing, if you are afraid, stay in the car and watch out, I will go alone."

Chu Feng pressed the gun on his waist and got out of the car. Chang Qing immediately followed without hesitation.

It's more terrifying to stay alone, and it's safer to stay with the boss.

Nie Xingfeng came to the side door that Gu Cheng said, opened the door with the password, and walked into the hospital.

The hospital was dark and deserted at night, and there were no nurses at the front desk on duty. Nie Xingfeng felt a little strange, so he took the elevator to the third floor and pushed open the door of Gu Cheng's room.

Gu Cheng was sitting on the sofa reading a newspaper, his face was pale, his lower eyelids were black, and he looked like he was just recovering from a serious illness.

"You're finally here, eh, your head?"

Seeing that Nie Xing was wrapped in gauze, the joy on Gu Cheng's face turned into nervousness.

"Did that black cat do it? And that monster with only the upper body."

"He's not a monster, his name is Li Xianting."

"Li Xianting? Who is it?"

Seeing Gu Cheng's blank face, Nie Xingfeng immediately understood that he had misunderstood.

Zhu Yao's ability to restore the memory of his previous life does not mean that Gu Cheng can also restore it. Obviously he didn't know it, so he asked himself to come...

"You invited me to discuss how to get rid of him?"

"Of course we have to get rid of him, otherwise we will be the ones who will die. This is talisman water, which can help us resist the yin energy of evil spirits. Drink it first, and then do what Mr. Lin said, and we will definitely get rid of that guy. "

Nie Xingfeng pushed away the teacup Gu Cheng handed over, "I don't drink talisman water!"

Fushui was his nightmare.

Needless to say the shadow of almost dying due to talisman water when he was young, the scene where the white-eyed celestial master forced him to drink talisman water with a kiss not long ago is still vivid.

Therefore, poison can still be considered, but Fushui is out of the question.

"I came here tonight not to deal with Li Xianting, but to resolve his resentment."

"Are you crazy?" Gu Cheng had a ghostly expression on his face, "Your fate is extremely dark, if you don't drink the talisman water, let alone resolve your resentment, I'm afraid you will be possessed by evil spirits immediately."

"Where did you hear that my fate is extremely dark?"

"I said so."

The door was pushed open, and a middle-aged man walked in and held out his hand to Nie Xingfeng.

"Mr. Nie, hello, I'm Lin Chunqing, I have dealt with Lingdi before."

Nie Xingfeng knew about Lin Chunqing. The evil spirit mirror given by Lin Chunqing was still hanging on the wall of their company. It was the masterpiece of the idiot brother.

Lin Chunqing is not as immoral as the rumors say, he is not tall, and his appearance is very ordinary, but his eyes are sharp, giving people an invisible pressure.

"Hello there."

Nie Xingfeng stretched out his hand politely, but his hand was tightly grasped in the next moment.

Lin Chunqing clasped his Neiguan veins with his backhand, pointed with the other hand, and quickly drew in the air in front of his face, and shouted: "Jade Emperor Yuzun, cut off the roads of ten directions, and make evil law Earth, there is a way for people to come, but there is no way for evil spirits, and the nets of heaven and earth will not show mercy, I obey the order of the Supreme Lord!"

Nie Xingfeng was dizzy, and he couldn't break free with his black taekwondo skills, so he could only let Lin Chunqing pull him to the sofa and sit down.

"What do you want to do?"

"I'm sorry for being rude to you. Since you don't drink the talisman water, I can only use this method to let you cooperate with us. I made an enchantment here, and set up a net spell. I believe it can trap evil spirits. Please rest assured. I will do my best to protect your safety." Thinking that Nie Xingfeng was worried about his own safety, Lin Chunqing explained.

"You want to use me as bait to lure him into appearing?"

Under the influence of the mantra, Nie Xingfeng was in a trance, vaguely saw Lin Chunqing and Gu Cheng walking out, he murmured: "I can be bait, but don't hurt him, I won't allow anyone to hurt him!"
