Strange Tales: The Yin-Yang Celestial Master

"Why do humans greet each other with 'Have you eaten'?"

Luo Lang and Qi Buyang walked side by side, and suddenly asked a question.

Qi Buyang was stumped. After thinking for a long time, he still couldn't come up with an answer. Finally, he had no choice but to say: "Probably because... people will die if they don't eat..."

"You humans are so fragile." Luo Lang commented unceremoniously.

"..."

At this moment, a man happened to pass by them, Luo Lang immediately turned his head to the man with great interest and said, "Have you eaten yet?"

The other party froze for a moment, "...No."

Luo Lang nodded in satisfaction, "Then go and eat quickly, or you will die."

The man stood there blankly, his expression still blank.

Qi Buyang sighed, and was about to go forward to explain, when he saw the man's face, he was startled, grabbed Luo Lang's sleeve and exclaimed: "Mr. Luo, he is really dying!"

"I just said, humans will die if they don't eat."

"Will you bleed if you don't eat?" Qi Buyang said angrily, "He's bleeding!"

"Really?" Luo Lang seemed to have noticed the other party's situation just now, looked at the man's blood-stained red hair and the blood continuously flowing from his nose and mouth, and pointed to Qi Buyang with a smile, "Look, I drank too much red wine Right? Throwing up."

Qi Buyang simply ignored him, and hurried forward to support the man, "Are you okay? Do you want to go to the hospital? No..." He suddenly realized something, touched the other's bare skin, and the familiar cold feeling penetrated Passed by fingers, that's not the body temperature that a living person should have.

"You are already dead?"

The man thought for a while, then nodded stiffly.

"Do you remember how you died?"

"I was hit by a car." As soon as he opened his mouth, a lot of blood gushed out of his mouth, and the gaps between his teeth were red, looking a little scary.While talking, blood flowed down his chin to his neck, "The off-road vehicle knocked me into the air, and when I landed, I passed out from the pain, and it was like this when I woke up." After finishing speaking, he stretched out his hand and thought He bumped against the wall, and ended up going straight through it. He looked at his hand silently, as if he was still a little uncomfortable.

Qi Buyang looked around, but found no car accident scene, "Where were you when you woke up?"

"Hospital, I saw they covered me with a white cloth."

As soon as Qi Buyang heard it, he understood that this ghost didn't stay near his body waiting to be reincarnated, but ran out alone.So he tentatively asked, "Where are you going now?"

"Where are you going?" the ghost repeated, his eyes were a little straightened, and it took him a while to remember: "That's right! Go home! I want to go home!" Speaking of this, he suddenly became anxious, and stayed on the spot like a headless chicken Turning around, he kept muttering: "Dongdong hasn't eaten yet! He must be starving! I have to go back quickly..."

But he walked around for a long time without taking a step forward, Qi Buyang couldn't help asking: "Where is your home?"

The man immediately stayed where he was, and his eyes became confused again, "Yes, where is my home..." He frowned and thought about it, but couldn't find any clues, and finally turned pale in a hurry, and shouted in a broken voice, "How could I Forgot where my home is?!"

"Don't worry." Qi Buyang comforted him: "Many ghosts will forget what happened in their lifetime, it's normal, maybe you will remember it tomorrow."

"But Dongdong is still waiting for me at home..."

"You keep saying 'dongdong', who is he to you?"

"Dongdong is not a human being." The ghost looked up and explained, "It is my dog."

"..."

"If I don't go back, it will die," he said seriously.

"Is there no one else in your family?"

The man shook his head and emphasized again: "Dongdong can't live without me."

Maybe it was because his expression was too firm when he said this, Qi Buyang opened his mouth, but couldn't find any words of persuasion, and fell silent immediately.Luo Lang could tell what he was thinking when he saw this, "Aren't you going to take him home?"

Being guessed right, Qi Buyang was shocked, and replied in embarrassment: "Yes, so what!"

"You are a celestial master." Luo Lang coolly reminded him that this identity should be the natural enemy of ghosts, but he always helps ghosts do this and that, which is not what a celestial master should do at all.

"The heavenly master can't be unreasonable." Qi Buyang didn't hesitate any more this time, but retorted confidently: "I thought about it, our duty is to let the ghosts wandering in the world go back to where they should go. As for the method, There is no rule, so I decided to use my own method to complete it in the future.”

Luo Lang shrugged noncommittally and said nothing.In fact, it doesn't matter whether Qi Buyang helps people or ghosts. He just has never seen a celestial master like Qi Buyang. In his impression, celestial masters are a group of stubborn and arrogant old men like Qi Buyang. How did a stone raise such an interesting grandson.

The ghost over there was still thinking hard alone, but unfortunately there was no result. Qi Buyang saw that it was getting late, so he suggested: "You go back with us first, it's not safe for wandering spirits to run around at night, come out tomorrow try to find."

The man nodded dejectedly.

...

When they got home, Butler Qi was waiting at the door, and when he saw Qi Buyang, he stepped forward and told him: "Master, we have guests."

Qi Buyang was a little surprised, usually no guests would come at this time, but he still walked to the living room immediately, while telling Butler Qi to put an amulet on the ghost outside before bringing him in.

The guest was a middle-aged man with disheveled hair and many small freckles on his face. When Qi Buyang walked in, the man was sitting on the sofa looking around. His eyes lit up when he saw the boy in Tang suit entering the room. He shakes hands.

"This must be the youngest head of the Qi family, right? Hello, hello, my name is Chu Yan."

After speaking, he looked at Luo Lang behind him, "This one doesn't look like an ordinary person, is he your disciple?"

Qi Buyang was stunned, before he had time to explain, Chu Yan nodded to him again and said: "Sure enough, a hero is born as a boy, and the head of Qi is young and promising, so he has such a great apprentice."

Qi Buyang glanced at Luo Lang secretly, although the latter had a smile on his face, his eyes shot out a fierce light, which hit Chu Yan's forehead straight.

He silently took a step forward, standing between the two of them, and asked Chu Yan to sit down and talk. He and Luo Lang sat across from him, facing each other across a table, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

"I came today because my house was haunted by ghosts. My friend introduced you to your Qi's family, so I came here."

"Can you tell me exactly what happened in your home?"

"It's just... there was a strange noise, the furniture was moving around..." Chu Yan spoke vaguely, with an unnatural expression on his face, he picked up the tea and wanted to drink it, only to find that the cup was empty.Seeing that the teapot was nearby and the housekeeper Qi was not there, Qi Buyang wanted to get up and pour tea for him, but was stopped by the other party.

"Don't, don't, how can you bother Master Qi to pour tea, just let your apprentice come."

As soon as these words came out, Qi Buyang obviously felt that the aura around him was turning black, and he quickly stood up and said, "I'll do it." Before he could stand still, a hand pressed his shoulder, and Luo Lang put him back on the ground. Pushing back on the sofa, he stood up by himself, and said with a smile, "It's more appropriate for me, an 'apprentice', to do this kind of thing." Then, he stretched out his claws to the innocent teapot.

An accident is about to happen... Qi Buyang sat there quietly covering his face.

And Chu Yan was still waiting for his tea without knowing anything, but when he saw that 'disciple' slowly walking towards him, he suddenly shivered, as if he felt the hairs all over his body standing up from a dangerous animal, Even the waist straightened involuntarily.

"Your tea." Luo Lang stopped in front of him, smiling amiably without seeing any flaws.

Chu Yan picked up the teacup with both hands to catch it, but the hot water didn't fall into the cup, but flowed unceremoniously onto his thigh, even through his trousers, it still scalded him so that he let out a scream and hurriedly jumped up , the skin is red, burning pain.

Qi Buyang was also taken aback, and hurried over and asked, "How is it? Are you injured?"

"Oh, I'm sorry, I was really careless." Luo Lang finished apologizing without sincerity, put down the murder weapon and clapped his hands in satisfaction, with a face of success.

"Mr. Luo!" Qi Buyang gave him a reproachful look, and Luo Lang turned his head away, pretending not to see it.

Qi Buyang repeatedly apologized to Chu Yan, and hurried to find a towel and burn ointment. Seeing that Luo Lang was still standing there, he was afraid that he would do something again, so he dragged him away together.When they came back, as soon as they entered the door, they found Chu Yan sneakily taking pictures with a camera. The lens was aimed at Butler Qi who had just arrived, and the ghost beside him who was killed in a car accident.

After the shooting, Chu Yan put down the camera to take a look, his eyes widened immediately, and he exclaimed, "Wow! There really is a ghost!"

Qi Buyang suddenly realized that some photography and video equipment can capture things that are invisible to the human eye. Seeing that he wanted to take another shot, he hurried over to stop it. Chu Yan cleverly held the camera and dodged it. With the shutter open, Qi Buyang couldn't catch him, so he could only shout in desperation: "Mr. Luo!"

"It's called Langlang."

"Stop making trouble, don't let him take pictures!"

"It sounds nice."

"...Lang Lang."

"Pa", Luo Lang snapped his fingers lightly, and there was an explosion sound immediately, followed by the sound of glass shattering. Chu Yan turned the camera around to take a look, only to find that the lens was actually broken. I don't know what to do.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Butler Qi gave the dead ghost a slight push and told him to go out and hide. Then he immediately stepped forward to grab the camera and deleted the ghostly photo just now.

"You guys!" Chu Yan blushed anxiously, "Give me back the camera! That is my most valuable thing!"

"Who are you?" Qi Buyang stared sternly into his eyes, "I've felt strange since you said just now that your house is haunted but couldn't tell you the specific situation. In fact, your house is not haunted at all, right? What do you want to come here? What are you doing?"

"If I do, can you return the camera to me?"

Qi Buyang did not back down, "You speak first!"

"Okay..." Chu Yan sat down on the sofa in frustration, "Actually, I'm a reporter. My house is indeed not haunted. I found your Qi's because I watched a TV program discussing yin and yang eyes before, and invited some experts from the metaphysics world. Master went to sit in the town, and you were there at the time. I saw that you had such a status at a young age, and I felt that there must be something to dig, so I made many inquiries and found out about the Qi family, so I wanted to come to find out. I took a ghost photo, but unfortunately..." He glanced at his precious camera.

"What do you know?"

"Not much, I just inquired about the Qi family from some fortune tellers, and found a few of your former guests, but they didn't say much, I just know that the Qi family is the only family of celestial masters in this city. But now it is proved that you can really drive ghosts, this is good news! If it is announced, it will definitely cause a big sensation! How about it? Can you let me do an in-depth interview at Qi's house?"

"No." Qi Buyang refused without thinking.

"Think about it, if it is announced, your Qi family will become famous! Business will definitely improve!"

"Since ancient times, the celestial master has been a profession hidden in the dark. Our Qi family has never made it public for hundreds of years. It will not be done now, and it will not be done in the future!"

Chu Yan wanted to persuade again: "If it is announced, countless believers will come to chase after you, respect you, and let your career of celestial masters flourish. Is this not good?"

Qi Buyang did not let go at all, "Not good. Uncle Qi, return the camera to him."

"Hey, hey! Why are you so stubborn!"

"The Qi family does not accept interviews, please don't come here again." Qi Buyang finished with a cold face, and waved without hesitation: "Uncle Qi, see off the guests."
