After lifting the lid of the coffin, I started hunting ghosts to make money

【Chapter 39】

Xilu stubbornly left the hotel and turned to look for the sewer.

She couldn't believe she couldn't find it!

……

three hours later.

Xilu was covered in ashes, and returned to Si Jiang with a look of embarrassment, and asked seriously: "Um...does what you just said still count? I just need to kill that man in the store just now. Can I just bring my head back in front of you?"

Si Jiang raised his eyebrows.

Xilu slowly took out a dagger from his pocket and said, "Can this knife kill him?"

The expression on Xilu's face was extremely serious, not a joke.

Liao Ming, who was standing beside him, was terrified.

Looking at the knife in Xilu's hand, the corner of Si Jiang's mouth twitched slightly, his expression slightly surprised.

Then, he raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice, "There is another way."

Xilu was taken aback.

Si Jiang leaned back on the chair, and said casually, "You don't need to go to the sewer, just call her here."

Liao Ming didn't understand.

Liao Ming: "Recruit me? What do you mean, Master?"

West Deer is smart.

Xilu was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood.

Xilu: "You mean... summoning ghosts?"

Si Jiang was silent.

Xilu understood.

Xilu bit his lip, a glimmer of hope bloomed in his eyes, but soon fell into doubt again.

Xilu: "How to recruit? After recruiting? Can I ask her who the murderer who killed her is?"

Si Jiang: "Yes."

Xilu's eyes lit up, and the eyes shone brightly.

Then, without thinking about it, she knelt at Si Jiang's feet and said, "Tell me, what should I do—"

Si Jiang: "Prepare paper money."

Xilu hurriedly took notes on his mobile phone.

Xilu: "And then?"

Si Jiang: "The items she used during her lifetime."

Xilu: "I remember it."

Si Jiang: "Cow's tears."

Xilu: "Good master!"

Si Jiang: "Red candle."

Xilu: "Is there any more Master?"

Si Jiang: "Incense and glutinous rice."

Xilu carefully memorized them one by one.

After she remembered it, Si Jiang said with a cold expression: "At 12 o'clock in the evening, turn off the lights, light the incense, and insert it into the glutinous rice. Then light the red candle, and take the red candle to the bathroom. Put things and paper money in the bathroom in advance. , remember to overlap the two. Then, at 12:12:12, quickly and silently recited 'Come and find me' three times in my heart. After opening your eyes, if you see that the paper money disappears and the candle flame turns blue, it means that your sister has arrived."

Xilu was stunned.

Xilu asked subconsciously: "Then if my sister arrives, can I ask her who killed her, where is her body, and how she was killed..."

Si Jiang: "You can ask, but no more than five sentences.

Xilu: "For...why?"

Si Jiang: "I will die."

Xilu blinked, his expression blank.

After being dazed for a moment, Xilu slowly stood up from the ground, and said to Si Jiang, "Thank you Master, I understand!"

After finishing speaking, he took the mobile phone and turned around to prepare the things just now.

Liao Ming who was still in the room wanted to ask something, but seeing his master's expressionless face, he finally closed his mouth wisely and didn't ask anything.

Liao Ming lowered his head and searched the Internet.

#Why do you not speak more than five sentences with ghosts when you recruit ghosts? #

After Liao Ming bowed his head and typed out this question on the phone's page, the answer popped up quickly.

It's an answer from a netizen.

【Because if you talk too much, it will realize that you are not a ghost, but a living person.Then, it will try to kill you.Either, get on your body, or kill you on the spot. 】

After reading the answer, Liao Ming shuddered and swallowed.

so... so scary...

time flies.

In the blink of an eye, it was eleven o'clock in the evening.

At eleven o'clock in the evening, Xilu carefully counted the things that Si Jiang said, for fear of missing something later.

After counting, Xilu packed his things and was ready to go to the next room.

Because there can only be one person in the room when recruiting ghosts, so in the afternoon, she took her ID card and opened a room next door for the purpose of recruiting ghosts.

Before leaving, she stood in front of Si Jiang and asked nervously, "That...Master, do you have any precautions when recruiting ghosts?"

Si Jiang thought about it.

Si Jiang: "Incense and candles cannot be extinguished."

Xilu: "Good master!"

Si Jiang: "Also, no matter what you see in the mirror, you can't yell. Except for asking questions, you can't make any noise at other times."

Xilu didn't ask why, but Liao Ming did.

Liao Ming couldn't help asking curiously: "If you accidentally bumped into the table, or something else, and made a sound...Master, what will happen?"

Si Jiang understated: "It will attract other things."

Xilu was stunned and quickly realized.

She clenched her fingers, gritted her teeth, and said, "Thank you, I see."

After all, she took those things, turned and went into the next room.

Liao Ming watched her back, worried.

Then, Liao Ming withdrew his gaze, looked at his master, and asked, "Master, what should we do now?"

Si Jiang sat still on the chair.

Seeing that his master didn't move or speak, Liao Ming opened his mouth cautiously again and asked, "Master...?"

Si Jiang didn't raise his head: "Shut up, don't make noise."

Liao Ming: "Oh, good master..."

Si Jiang sat in his seat and pondered deeply.

The old-fashioned old man in Qingcheng Mountain lives on the top floor. If he wants to go to the luxury suite on the top floor, there is only the exclusive elevator.

And according to the annoying guy next door, in luxury suites, there are usually surveillance cameras that can see who is coming up in the elevator.That is to say, if he takes the elevator to the luxury suite, that old man can see it completely.

Therefore, the option of asking Liao Ming to steal treasures from the luxurious suite does not exist at all.

Or... he showed his real body and seduced that old man with a nose first?

No... not right.

If he showed his original shape, the old man with a strong nose would get the magic weapons for exorcising evil that he carried close to his body at the first time.

As long as that bull-nosed old man still has those things on his body, he will never show his original shape.

Therefore, this option is also ruled out.

Logically speaking, in fact, he should wait until he has absorbed the ghost energy of a few more ghosts and strengthened his strength before dealing with this old-fashioned old man in Qingcheng Mountain.

But there's no way, it's just too annoying to watch.

As soon as he thought that the old man with a strong nose in Qingcheng Mountain was here, his heart, eager to try and kill, couldn't help surging.

But it was just as Si Jiang expected.

Those strong-nosed and old-fashioned people in Qingcheng Mountain are really different from ordinary celestial masters who are out there, and they are not easy to deal with.If he was as useless as that celestial master in Qi's villa, he would never stay here, he would have gone up and made a move a long time ago.

At the same time, Zuo Mingzhuo, who was exorcising evil spirits from a family, sneezed suddenly.

The little apprentice standing aside asked with concern: "...Master?"

Zuo Mingzhuo frowned and said, "Why do I feel like someone spoke ill of me just now..."

The little apprentice looked puzzled: "Who would speak ill of Master?"

Zuo Mingzhuo frowned: "It feels like someone I don't like very much..."

Back to Si Jiang.

Si Jiang: "...tsk."

He is irritable.

It's a hassle to kill someone.

Because of this, Si Jiang generally would not take action unless necessary.

Liao Ming, who was standing behind Si Jiang, heard his master's unpleasant tsk click, and immediately trembled three times in fear.

Liao Ming: "...what is Master thinking?"

Si Jiang: "How do you want to kill people?"

Liao Ming fell silent for a moment, not daring to say another word.

It was twelve o'clock in the blink of an eye.

At twelve o'clock in the evening, Xilu turned off all the lights in the room according to the steps Si Jiang said, then lit the incense and carefully inserted it vertically into a bowl of glutinous rice.Then, she lit the red candle in her hand with a lighter, and then slowly walked into the mirror in the bathroom with the candle in hand.

In front of the mirror are the paper money, cow's tears, and pencils used by her younger sister, which she had prepared a long time ago.

She slowly put the red candle in her hand in front of the mirror.

In the mirror, her frightened face was reflected.

Her heart was beating like a drum, trembling with fear.

But for the sake of her lovely sister, she gritted her teeth and held back.

I don't know if it's her psychological suggestion or other reasons, she looked at her face in the mirror, and felt that the face in the mirror seemed to have changed a little bit.

Her face seemed to be distorted a little.

In the mirror, her appearance gradually became a little strange.

She stared at the face in the mirror, feeling a little puzzled in her heart, wondering if this face was really her own?

Moreover, the pair of black pupils in the mirror were like two empty black holes, trying to suck her in.

And... in the mirror, the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, and there seemed to be a smile on her face.

But the problem is, at this moment, she was so scared that she wanted to rush out the door, how could she still laugh?

Xilu thought suspiciously, his eyes became more and more blurred.

And just when she was about to reach out her hand in the direction of the mirror in a trance, she suddenly smelled a faint scent of sandalwood.

Smelling the faint sandalwood, she was refreshed and suddenly woke up.

She raised her eyes and looked at her hand that was already attached to the mirror, feeling horrified in her heart.

When did she post it?She didn't realize it!

And at this time, she finally understood the function of the burning sandalwood in the living room.

The effect is...

Pull her back from the gate of hell.

Thinking of this, Xilu didn't dare to look in the mirror any more, and hurriedly closed his eyes.

She began to count down in her heart.

59...

58...

……

21...

……

ten……

Nine……

Eight……

……

……one.

She began to mutter silently in her heart.

'Come and find me...'

'Come and find me...'

'Come and find me...'

She quickly finished the recitation in her heart, then opened her eyes, and wiped the cow's tears that she had prepared before onto her eyes.

But unexpectedly...she didn't see anything.

Not only that, the paper money placed under the pencil did not disappear, and the candle flame did not turn blue like a certain ghost said.

Xilu looked at the scene in front of him, feeling at a loss.

Could it be that she made a mistake in some steps?

Xilu thought in a daze, and took a look at the mobile phone that was placed in front of the sink.

She quickly flipped through the notes she had written down.

...That's right?

So what is the problem?

She thought in a daze, and with the mentality of trying, she opened her mouth and called out softly, "Sister, are you there?"

The moment she spoke, the color of the candle instantly turned blue.

But the strange thing is that the paper money under the pencil has not disappeared.

At the same time, the sandalwood in the living room suddenly went out.

But she doesn't know.

She looked at the candle that suddenly turned into a blue flame, and she was overjoyed.

Is her sister coming!

She raised her head in surprise, looked into the mirror, and then, she saw a tall figure suddenly appeared behind her.

The man stood quietly behind her.

She didn't even know when the other party appeared.

But this is not the point.

The point is... at this height, it is absolutely impossible for her to be her younger sister!

In her horrified gaze, the black figure whose face could not be seen slowly stretched out his hand and put it on her shoulder.

Her eyes went dark and she lost consciousness.

Ten minutes later, someone knocked on the door of Si Jiang's room.

Hearing the knock on the door, Liao Ming subconsciously prepared to open the door, but Si Jiang suddenly reached out and stopped him.

Liao Ming was puzzled: "...Master?"

Si Jiang: "Wait."

Liao Ming tilted his head, his face full of doubts.

A certain ghost listened carefully.

'Button. '

Knock twice, pause.

'Butt buckle. '

Knock three times and pause again.

'Button. '

Finally, two more strokes.

After the last two knocks on the door, the people outside the door paused for about five seconds before repeating the action just now.

Two strokes, a pause, three strokes, another pause, and finally two strokes.

It's very regular, and there are not many knocks.

...This is by no means an action that a normal person would make.

Hearing this voice, Si Jiang twitched the corners of his lips.

He turned to look at Liao Ming who was stunned on the spot, and said, "Take the talisman."

Because I heard that he was going to find a ghost, so when he went out, even though his master didn't give special instructions, Liao Ming still thoughtfully took the iron box containing the talisman with him.

But what I didn't expect was that it actually came in handy.

Liao Ming obediently opened the box, took the Zhang Talisman, and then subconsciously turned around and asked, "Then, Master, where do you stick it?"

Si Jiang: "Let him in."

Liao Ming blinked blankly, looking puzzled.

He did as he did, opened the door, and let in the person who kept knocking on the door.

Liao Ming stretched out his hand to open the door and raised his eyes.

As soon as he raised his eyes, he saw Xilu's familiar face.

Liao Ming was about to greet Xilu with a smile, but he suddenly saw something.

He saw... ghosts.

What stood in front of him now was not Xilu himself, but a... ghost.

Liao Ming's expression was stiff, and he stopped smiling for a moment.

He looked terrified, and tremblingly put the other party into the room.

Xilu, who was possessed by a ghost, walked into the room stiffly.

The atmosphere in the room was very strange.

But 'West Deer' didn't feel it at all.

'She' lowered her head, tilted her head, and showed a smug and weird smile.

Because... the door is closed.

As long as the door is closed, then he can...

And just when 'Xilu' was thinking about these things in his heart, Si Jiang, who had been sitting on the chair from the beginning to the end, had not moved, suddenly said, "Stick the talisman."

Liao Ming immediately followed suit and pasted the talisman on the door.

The bright yellow talisman was firmly attached to the door, completely blocking 'her' escape route.

'West Deer' finally sensed something was wrong.

'She' turned around and wanted to run, but was firmly grasped by a ghost by the wrist.

Si Jiang who didn't know when came to her side, firmly grasped her wrist, looked down at 'her' with a cold face.

Si Jiang asked slowly, "What are you running for?"

'She' trembled and couldn't speak a word.

Si Jiang reached out and grabbed 'her' hair and pulled it up. With 'her' painful expression, he sneered and said, "We're all in the room, why don't you say hello to the adults? Kid, aren't you being too rude? Um?"

'She' screamed.

Si Jiang stood there expressionless, looking at 'her' indifferently.

If 'she' went to another room, maybe a few more people would be harmed.

But it's a pity that it's hard to choose any room, but I have to choose the one where Si Jiang is.

At this point, the top floor.

The pointer on the compass next to the bed was dangling wildly, and Zhong Fo, who was churning on the bed with the little beauty in his arms, glanced casually, and immediately looked away without interest.

There are ghosts downstairs.

But... so what?

Director Hua was right, he finally came out once, and if he hadn't had a good time, why was he thinking about those crap things in the sect every day?

If you give money, then forget it.But he didn't have a dime, so why was he so excited to catch ghosts?Could it be that someone still ran out to give him a certificate?

After figuring this out, Zhong Fo felt a lot better all of a sudden.

What ghost hunting, what thousand-year-old ghosts... what does it have to do with him?

Give him money, and he will catch it.

Zhong Fo was thinking casually, while stretching out his hand to rub the chest of the lower body-lower woman, he urged impatiently: "Scream louder! Didn't you eat? You can't even hear the sound!"

The high school girl on the bed groaned in a low voice, crying bitterly.

With cruel eyes, Zhong Fo directly reached out and grabbed her hair, pulling it back vigorously.

Zhong Fo: "I told you to speak up, didn't you hear me?"

The girl moaned in pain.

Downstairs, Xilu finally regained his sanity.

She slowly got up from the ground, her eyes were blank.

She looked up at the dazzling lights above her head, not knowing where she was for a moment.

Seeing this, Liao Ming stepped forward with concern, knelt down, and asked, "...are you okay?"

She blinked blankly.

Xilu: "I... what's wrong with me?"

Liao Ming replied without thinking, "You are possessed by a ghost!"

Xilu was startled, and immediately panicked.

She panicked and said, "I, I was possessed by a ghost?!"

Liao Ming quickly comforted him: "Don't worry, my master has already removed that ghost from your body."

Only then did she let out a long sigh of relief.

At this time, Si Jiang who was sitting on the side said coldly, "I remember I told you that except for asking questions, you can't make a sound at all other times."

Xilu lowered his head with a depressed expression.

Xilu: "I know...but...but...I didn't see my sister. I did what you said, but I didn't see my sister, the money didn't disappear, and the candle didn't change color. So I just... with the idea of ​​trying it out, I asked if my sister was there."

Si Jiang frowned.

Xilu: "As soon as I opened my mouth, the color of the candle changed. Then...then I saw, behind me, there was an extra person. I don't know who he is, and I can't see his face clearly ...Anyway, it is absolutely impossible for him to be my sister."

Listening to Xilu's description, although Liao Ming was just listening from the sidelines, he couldn't help but feel horrified just hearing the scene described.

Si Jiang frowned.

Si Jiang: "Are you sure you didn't make a mistake in your steps?"

Xilu nodded: "I'm sure. When I didn't see my sister at first, I took out my phone and looked at the records I made before, and checked it again."

A ghost ponders.

He was silent for a moment and asked, "Did the paper money disappear after the candle changed color?"

Xilu thought for a while.

She thought about it for a moment, then hesitated and said: "It seems that there is, and it seems that there is no, I don't remember clearly... After that figure appeared, I lost consciousness, and I don't know much about the rest."

Hearing the sound, he went straight to the next room without thinking about it.

Liao Ming and Xilu immediately followed.

Si Jiang walked into the room, first glanced at the sandalwood in the living room, then walked into the bathroom, and looked at the things on the sink in the bathroom.

The sandalwood in the living room has long been extinguished, and there is a circle of black things in the extinguished place, like traces of being soaked in water.

In the bathroom, the candles had long been extinguished, and the pencils and paper money were quietly put aside, without any sign of being touched.On the mirror, as if it had been knocked by something, there was a circle of spider webs cracked.

Si Jiang looked at the things in front of him intently, and narrowed his eyes slightly.

Liao Ming followed closely behind his master, curiously looking at the coins under the pencil.

Liao Ming asked softly, "Master, what is this piece of paper money for?"

Si Jiang ignored it.

Liao Ming thought that his master didn't hear it, so he repeated it again.

Impatiently, he threw out two words.

Si Jiang: "Ecstasy."

Liao Ming blinked, not quite understanding.

... How to seduce souls with ghost coins?

Xilu, who was standing on the side, took out his mobile phone and went to search for the meaning of paper money.

#Why use paper money when recruiting ghosts? #

The answer jumped out quickly.

[Isn’t there a saying that money can turn ghosts around?If you put paper money on it, it will be easy to attract ghosts.Moreover, another reason is that if you use money to recruit a ghost, if it succeeds, it means that he is here for money, not for your life.

If you don't put paper money, who knows whether the ghost you invite wants money or life? 】

Xi Lu stared blankly at it, and finally understood why Si Jiang asked her if the money had disappeared.

If the money disappears, it means that the ghost came for the money.If not... it is for life.

Thinking of this, Xilu bit his lip, feeling horrified.

But at this time, Si Jiang suddenly had a vague guess in his mind.

He glanced at the paper money and pencil, slowly raised his head, and looked in the direction of the roof.

Liao Ming looked in the direction of his master.

Liao Ming: "Master, what are you looking at?"

Si Jiang still ignored him.

He twitched the corners of his lips, revealing an extremely mocking smile.

Si Jiang suddenly said abruptly, "Let's go."

Liao Ming: "Go, where are you going?"

Xilu on the side blinked, looking puzzled.

He was expressionless: "Go and find the corpse."

Liao Ming scratched his head, confused.

Didn't Master just say that he wouldn't go...

So, the two of them left the hotel together.

Unlike Xilu who was looking around blindly before, Si Jiang, who knew the exact direction, walked straight to a remote alley behind the hotel without looking at him, and then stood there somewhere in the alley.

Si Jiang: "Here."

Under the dim light above their heads, Liao Ming and Xilu subconsciously looked in the direction of his feet.

Xilu: "...below?"

Si Jiang: "Find the entrance."

The two obediently responded.

The two underage soldiers split into two groups, holding their mobile phones to illuminate themselves, one after the other looking for the entrance of the sewer.Not long after, Liao Ming's surprised voice sounded.

He only heard Liao Ming pointing to the direction not far in front of him, and said pleasantly: "Master is here!"

Si Jiang looked up.

Xilu hurried to Liao Ming's side and looked at the manhole cover in front of him.

Si Jiang said concisely: "Open."

After Liao Ming obediently responded, he prepared to lift the manhole cover.Xilu, who was squatting on the side, immediately went up to help.

However, because the manhole cover was too heavy, the two minors worked hard for a long time, but they couldn't move the manhole cover even a little bit.

Liao Ming was panting and wiped off his sweat, and finally couldn't help but asked his master standing beside him for help: "Master...I...we can't open it. Can master help..."

Si Jiang was straightforward: "I can't touch it."

Liao Ming was stunned.

Liao Ming subconsciously wanted to ask why, but suddenly, he remembered something.

Master is a ghost.

The only things ghosts can't touch are talismans.

Liao Ming asked in a daze, "Under the manhole cover...is there a talisman?"

Si Jiang didn't return.

So Liao Ming understood.

Although I wanted to ask my master why he knew there was a talisman under the manhole cover, but it was obviously not the time to ask these questions.

Liao Ming and Xilu, two minors, worked hard together for a long time, but they still couldn't open the manhole cover, so Liao Ming let go of his hand and said, "The two of us will definitely not be able to open it with bare hands, we need tools."

Xilu thought for a while: "How about the shovel?"

Liao Ming scratched his head and said, "It's possible, but this thing seems to be only found in rural areas..."

Xilu didn't even think about it: "There must be one in the kitchen."

Liao Ming wondered, "But there's no kitchen around here..."

Upon hearing this, Xilu immediately pointed to the hotel behind him.

Liao Ming: "Should I borrow it or you? But it's past twelve o'clock now, so no one will borrow it..."

Xilu thought for a while: "I'll go, I'll act cute and coquettish, and they will definitely borrow it."

Liao Ming: "...that's right."

Xilu patted his shoulder: "I'm going!"

Xilu stood up, turned and left.

On the other side, Si Jiang stood there quietly with cold eyes.

Xilu quickly went back and forth with the shovel.

Liao Ming looked at the shovel in Xilu's hand with a surprised expression.

Liao Ming: "So soon..."

Xilu had a proud expression: "I just acted coquettishly, and they gave it to me."

Liao Ming: "Amazing..."

Si Jiang: "Hurry up."

The two fell silent.

Under the action of the shovel, it didn't take long for the manhole cover to be opened by the two of them.

The moment the manhole cover was overturned, just as Si Jiang said, a piece of bright yellow talisman paper was stuck on the back of the manhole cover.

Liao Ming opened his mouth wide.

Master really knows everything...

Looking at the familiar bright yellow talisman paper, Si Jiang finally couldn't help laughing.

--really.

Those bull-nosed and old-fashioned people in Qingcheng Mountain have always boasted that they are clean, upright, and spotless, and they are superior to those ordinary people outside... But in reality, they are just a group of hypocrites.

If you want to mention nausea, no one can be more disgusting than them.

Si Jiang looked coldly at the bright yellow talisman paper in front of him, and said, "Take off the talisman and bring it back to that Master Lu."

Liao Ming: "Yes, Master."

Liao Ming carefully peeled off the talisman and put it in his pocket.

Then, Si Jiang said in a deep voice, "Go down and find it yourself."

It was enough for him to bring her here, he was benevolent enough, after all, he didn't ask her for anything.Therefore, Xilu didn't dare to say much, and obediently agreed.

And just when she was about to bend down into the sewer, Si Jiang suddenly spoke again and said, "Bring up the talisman on her body."

Xilu blinked and asked, "... Talisman? Does she have a Talisman?"

Si Jiang: "You can see it naturally when you go down."

Xilu was puzzled and slowly climbed down.

The sewers were cold, damp and foul-smelling.Xilu resisted the sour water in his stomach, and came to the sewer.

Fortunately, the sewage in the sewer is not too much, only a shallow layer, even without shoes, so there is no problem at all in walking forward.

Xilu was using her mobile phone, and slowly walked forward in the direction of Si Jiang above her head. After walking two steps, just as he said, she saw a thick white bone.

The bones were covered with a layer of cloth, which was familiar to her, the same one her sister was wearing the day she disappeared.

Seeing the white bones in front of him, Xilu burst into tears.

She covered her face and cried bitterly.

Her cute and obedient sister just... died.

She will never be seen again.

Hearing the crying sound coming from the sewer, Liao Ming couldn't bear it, bit his lip, and looked away.

Then, he couldn't help asking his master curiously, "Master, don't you really know who the murderer is?"

Hearing the sound, Si Jiang said with a half-smile, "I didn't know."

Liao Ming was confused.

……originally?

He continued lightly: "But now I know."

Liao Ming was puzzled.

What do you mean?
