Urban Witcher

Ye Shaoyang's thoughts were interrupted by a burst of giggles, he jerked up suddenly, sat up, and listened carefully, it was a child's laughter, creaking, it sounded fine, and in the laughter, there was also A woman sobbed softly.

Listening to the baby's cry, Ye Shaoyang always felt that something was wrong, it couldn't be... Ye Shaoyang's belt was not untied, it was on his body, and he took out the Yin-Yang disc from inside, moved it a few times, and chanted the spell once, The pointer whizzed and turned, and finally stopped in the direction where the child's laughter came from across the wall.

It really is a supernatural event!

Ye Shaoyang was holding the yin and yang mirror in his hand and was in a daze. He really wanted to know what happened in the house next door, but it was in the middle of the night, and he was a stranger. Of course, it was impossible to ask directly. He was in a daze. Old man Liu's voice came to mind: "Are you a Taoist priest?"

Ye Shaoyang was stunned, and turned his head to look, it was old man Liu who opened his eyes, and the moonlight slanted on the bed from the window, brighter than the kerosene lamp. Old man Liu looked at the yin-yang plate in Ye Shaoyang's hand by the moonlight. There were various scales related to Tai Chi and gossip on it. Anyone with a little education would know that it was related to Taoism.

"Uh, you're always awake." Ye Shaoyang was a little embarrassed.

"I woke up when I heard the child crying, and I happened to see you holding this thing... The ancestor of our village was a Confucian general. There are a lot of books, so the men in our village are all literate. I have also read some Taoist books before, so when I saw your compass, I guessed that you are a Taoist priest."

"Senior, you just laughed at me." Ye Shaoyang bowed to Old Man Liu with Taoist etiquette, thinking that no wonder he thought that Old Man Liu was eloquent and eloquent before, and his conversation was not like ordinary peasants, so he had read books.

Old man Liu waved his hand and said, "The Daoist books I read are all about alchemy and health preservation, and I have just tasted it. Brother Ye, you don't have to do that."

Ye Shaoyang put away the yin and yang plate and listened carefully. The joyful baby's laughter came through the wall one after another, and the sobbing sound was always there, interspersed with a man's heavy sigh, which sounded from time to time.

Hearing these voices, Ye Shaoyang had such a picture in his mind: a family of three, the child was playing happily, the father was sighing, and the mother was sobbing softly beside him...

Such a picture is really a bit weird.

Ye Shaoyang looked at old man Liu, and said, "Please ask me, what is this...what's going on?"

Old man Liu also looked at him, sighed, and said, "Let me ask you, what did you mean when you took out the compass earlier, did you hear anything wrong?"

"This..." Ye Shaoyang hesitated for a moment, before telling the truth, "To be honest, I heard that there was a bit of ghost in the child's laughter, and I'm afraid he might be bewitched."

Old man Liu's eyes lit up, and he said, "You can tell there's something wrong with the laughter just by listening to the sound through the wall?"

Ye Shaoyang nodded, and said: "The laughter of ghosts is definitely different from that of humans. According to Taoism, the voice of ghosts is invisible, and unless it is under special circumstances, there will be no echo."

Old man Liu was startled when he heard the words, listened carefully for a while, and said, "There seems to be an echo."

"Of course, this is not a simple ghost laugh, but two overlapping voices."

"The two voices overlap..." Old Man Liu looked at him, "What does this mean?"

"Ghost possession, ghosts control the human body, and the sound they make is called Yin echo. If you are not a mage, you can't hear the difference between this kind of sound." Ye Shaoyang put one hand on the wall and said, "Because there is a wall The wall, the sound was a little hard to hear, so I wasn't sure before, I fixed it with a yin and yang mirror, and it really was haunted."

Hearing what he said, old man Liu was taken aback, and said a little excitedly, "Are you sure it's haunted?"

Ye Shaoyang said: "Of course, I practiced Taoism since I was a child, how could I hear this wrong."

Old man Liu sighed and said, "You're right, it's haunted."

As he spoke, he opened the bed next to the wall, took out a bundle of mahogany branches wrapped in red thread from below, shook Ye Shaoyang and said: "See, there are not only this, but also this one under every window in my house. Peach tree branch, alas, we are also afraid."

Ye Shaoyang frowned and said, "What are you afraid of?"

"What are you afraid of? Of course I'm afraid of ghosts. The next door is haunted, and our old couple are also terrified. What if something sneaks into our house from the next door..."

Ye Shaoyang hurriedly asked: "How do you know it's haunted?"

Old man Liu didn't answer, but asked instead: "Since you see the haunting, is there anything you can do to deal with it?"

Ye Shaoyang wanted to say it would be a piece of cake, but suddenly remembered that he only had 15% of his magic power, so he was really not sure, so he thought for a while and said, "You can try."

Old man Liu looked at him, shook his head, and said, "Forget it, you're so young..."

The speechlessness in Ye Shaoyang's heart was nothing but that he had been treated like this not once or twice, and he was not in a hurry to distinguish right now, and continued to listen to the voice next door. After about half an hour, the baby's laughter stopped.

Ye Shaoyang asked old man Liu what happened to the house next door.

"Originally, this was a happy event, but I didn't expect it to turn out like this in the end." Old man Liu sighed, and began to talk about the strange things that happened in the next door: the couple who lived next door to him were a couple in their forties. She has no children, not even a daughter. Just at the beginning of this year, the woman finally gave birth to a big fat boy. The couple regard it as a treasure and cherish it very much.

Unexpectedly, since last month, the youngest son, who is several months old, has been suffering from a fever, and he is groggy every day. The couple were so frightened that they went down the mountain to the county town to seek medical advice, which cost a lot of money. But the child's condition has not improved at all, and he is already sick.

"But this child is strange to say, every day in the middle of the night, all illnesses disappear, as if healed all at once, rolling and playing on the bed, giggling...you heard it just now, so the child's mother said Seize this moment to feed the child some milk, and it has continued to live until now. The couple thought the child was a bumper or something wrong, and asked a few gentlemen in the county to see it, but they couldn't explain what was going on..."

Speaking of this, old man Liu suddenly thought of something, and said: "Oh, by the way, Daoist Zhang of Yuqing Temple in the county said that his son was haunted by some little ghosts. As for the origin of the little ghosts, he couldn't tell. Zhang Daochang told If they want their son to live, there is only one way, that is to go thousands of miles away, maybe they can take refuge. But they have to walk from his Taoist temple."
