Xingnian Tea House

Chapter 65 The Truth About Evil Spirits

At first, Qiao Xingnian thought that the soul-resisting bell was an ordinary magic weapon, so he didn't pay much attention to it, but later he understood it more and more.

The more surprised he felt, the soul-suppressing bell was definitely more than just a magic weapon, but why Yan Jun gave him this, he still hasn't figured it out.

"Probably Yan Jun saw that I have worked so hard for so many years and gave me a reward."

"So as long as you work hard, gold will shine everywhere."

Qiao Xingnian did not respond, but concentrated on filtering the spring water.

"It means you are willing to go to such lengths for a pot of tea."

"This is love." At this point, Qiao Xingnian was startled, Lin Nanyue's face appeared in his mind unconsciously, then he shook his head and focused on filtering the spring water.

After tossing for a while, the spring water was finally filtered, and Qiao Xingnian started to boil water to make tea again. In the blink of an eye, an hour passed.

With the injection of hot water, the aroma of tea spread instantly, permeating the whole room, giving people a refreshing feeling.

Qiao Xingnian poured a cup of brewed tea for Jiang Mohan, and said, "Brother, try it."

Jiang Mohan picked up the teacup and tasted it, his eyes lit up, and said, "It's really different, this taste is sweeter."

"Okay, okay, brother has grown up, and I can taste the difference."

Jiang Mohan laughed and scolded: "Stinky boy, I really need to clean up!"

……

At just five o'clock in the afternoon, Zheng Qiao came to pick up Qiao Xingnian. Qiao Xingnian got into the car with the gifts he had bought. It was the first time he came to the door. There were old people and children at home. It was only polite to prepare some gifts.

The community where Zheng Qiao's parents live is in the city center, so that Zheng Xiaohai can go to a good primary school.

Because his family has been in business for five generations, the family is not very rich, but it is not bad. They have three houses in the center of Licheng City, each of which is more than [-] square meters, and there are five facade houses. They are all in the tea business.

The two took the elevator to the 12th floor. Qiao Xingnian followed Zheng Qiao to the door of room 1203. Zheng Qiao raised his hand and knocked on the door. Rou appeared at the door.

"It's the year of the stars."

"Sister-in-law, I'm sorry tonight."

"Say something polite, come in."

Qiao Xingnian came in with his things, Lin Rou quickly took them over and said, "They're all from my family, they come here as soon as they come, why are you still shopping?"

"Isn't this the first time here, don't worry sister-in-law, next time I promise to bring only one mouth."

Lin Rou liked Qiao Xingnian's temperament, and said with a smile, "Sit down, I just cut this fruit, hurry up and taste it."

"Sister-in-law, aren't uncles and aunts here?"

"Mom and Dad went to pick up Xiao Hai, and it should be almost time to come back."

Qiao Xingnian nodded, sat on the sofa, took a bite of the fruit on the table, and said, "Hey, this melon is very sweet, and my sister-in-law can pick it."

Lin Rou said with a smile, "How can I choose, it's purely based on my eyesight."

"Well, then I just don't have a destiny with cantaloupe. Every time I see it is destined, the result is all wrong payment."

Lin Rou was amused, and said: "It's okay to pay for the melon by mistake. At most, this one is tasteless. By the way, Xingnian, you don't have a girlfriend yet. What kind of one do you want? Do you want my sister-in-law to give it to you?" Introduce one?"

Zheng Qiao smiled and said, "Come on, Xingnian is from Hucheng, and he is so far away from Licheng. If you want to find a girlfriend, you can also find a local one, so don't worry about it."

Lin Rou was immediately unhappy when she heard this, and said: "The transportation is so developed now that it takes only a few hours to get there by plane and high-speed rail. Besides, as far as Xingnian's personality is concerned, let alone all in the country, no matter how far away, he will not be there." It will make my girlfriend wronged. Unlike you, even if we are from the same place, we should be angry, or be angry."

Zheng Qiao quickly held Lin Rou's hand and said, "I dare not let you be angry with what you said."

Qiao Xingnian looked at the two of them and said helplessly, "Brother Zheng, sister-in-law, it's not appropriate to feed me dog food before dinner is ready."

Lin Rou glared at Zheng Qiao coquettishly, broke away from his hand, and said, "Don't listen to what he said. When we quarrel, don't be so irritating."

"Sister-in-law, if two people can quarrel, it means that they are really angry. When you are angry, there is no harm in talking. No matter how good-tempered a person is, he will die if he is stubborn."

"Don't talk about this, what do you want to eat tonight, I can go to the supermarket to buy it."

"I'm not picky about food, I can cook whatever I have at home, as long as it's a little spicy."

"How can it be done? You showed us a trick last time. Whatever happens today, let me win the round."

Just as Qiao Xingnian was about to speak, the door was opened, and two old men walked in with Zheng Xiaohai.

"Dad, Mom, Xiao Hai, you are back." Lin Rou hurriedly got up and walked over.

Qiao Xingnian also stood up and stood aside looking at the three people who came in. There was a faint resentment between their brows, their eyes were dull, and there were dark circles under their eyes.

The three of them glanced at Lin Rou indifferently, then at Qiao Xingnian, and then looked away.

"Dad, Mom, Xiao Hai, this is Xingnian, Lao Zheng's friend, and I'm here to be a special guest today."

Qiao Xingnian smiled calmly and said, "Hello Uncle and Auntie, I'm sorry to bother you today."

Zheng Min looked at Qiao Xingnian, with a stiff smile on his lips, and said, "Come on, sit down."

Guo Xiu lifted the basket in her hand, stared at Qiao Xingnian, and said, "I bought fish, let's eat fish today."

Lin Rou's expression froze, she took the basket from Guo Xiu's hand, touched Zheng Xiaohai's head, and said, "Xiao Hai, call me uncle."

Zheng Xiaohai looked up at Qiao Xingnian and said, "Uncle, do you like fish?"

Qiao Xingnian squatted down, looked at Zheng Xiaohai and said, "Uncle likes it. He likes pickled fish and spicy fish, but he doesn't like sashimi."

Zheng Xiaohai frowned, with a gloomy face that didn't belong to a child, and said, "Why doesn't uncle like eating sashimi?"

"Because I'm human, I don't like to eat raw food."

As Qiao Xingnian said, the spell in his hand stuck to Zheng Xiaohai's forehead. Zheng Xiaohai's immature face changed. A terrifying cat face appeared in front of everyone, and a terrifying roar came from his mouth. , Lin Rou backed away again and again in fright.

After Qiao Xingnian dealt with Zheng Xiaohai, two more talismans were thrown out, hitting Zheng Min and Guo Xiu, and both of them fell to the ground in convulsions. He could only look at Qiao Xingnian with a fierce look in his eyes.

Zheng Xiaohai stared at Qiao Xingnian with scarlet eyes, and said, "Why are you meddling in your own business?"

Zheng Xiaohai's voice was terrifying, like male, female, old or young.

"If you hurt innocent people, I will naturally take care of it."

"Innocent? None of you humans are innocent. Pets are abused, abandoned or even killed everywhere. Thousands of our kind have been tortured and killed. How can you be innocent?" Zheng Xiaohai looked at Qiao Xingnian with hatred.

"Then let me ask you, did you kill the child you possessed?"

"He didn't kill, but they abandoned me, so that I was homeless, could only pick up food in the trash can, and was stoned to death by humans. It's all because of them that I ended up like this. If you don’t want to raise it, why do you still want to buy me home?”

Qiao Xingnian frowned slightly, looked up at Zheng Qiao and Lin Rou, and asked, "Brother Zheng, sister-in-law, what's going on?"

Zheng Qiao and Lin Rou looked at each other and said, "When Xiao Hai was five years old, our family had a cat, but your sister-in-law is allergic to cat hair, every time you come to pick up Xiao Hai, the cat hair on his body will make your sister-in-law very uncomfortable." , and almost killed your sister-in-law once, so we discussed giving the cat away."

"Since you are allergic to cat hair, why did you buy me home?"

Zheng Qiao explained: "Xiaohai likes cats very much. He bought them secretly with the pocket money he had saved. We didn't know it beforehand. Later, we carried the cats to return them, but they said that the cats we bought back would not be returned or exchanged. , so I can only keep it at my parents' house. If it wasn't for almost killing someone, we wouldn't give the cat away."

Lin Rou also followed suit and said: "We didn't abandon you, but gave you to others for adoption, and often sent cat food and toys over. You were killed, what does it have to do with us, why did you come to harm us ?”

The evil spirit was tortured and killed, and his heart was full of resentment. He didn't believe what Zheng Qiao and the others said at all, and only thought they were quibbling.He struggled and roared with hatred: "You lied, you obviously abandoned me, but you still said that you would give me away, I will kill you, kill you!"

For fear of hurting Zheng Xiaohai's body, Qiao Xingnian silently recited the incantation, pinched his fingers, and pulled the evil spirit out of Zheng Xiaohai's body.

Zheng Xiaohai's eyes closed, and his body fell limply. Qiao Xingnian quickly supported him, handed Zheng Xiaohai to Lin Rou, and said, "Sister-in-law, take Xiaohai aside."

Lin Rou responded, took Zheng Xiaohai aside, and looked at Qiao Xingnian with a bit of awe.

Qiao Xingnian turned to look at Zheng Min and Guo Xiu who were on the ground, and also pulled out the evil spirits from them.He bound the three evil spirits with red strings, no matter how hard they struggled, they couldn't get away.

"Let go of me, let me go, you hateful humans, all of you should die!"

They were all cute cats before they were alive, but now they are evil spirits who died miserable. Qiao Xingnian couldn't bear it, so he cast a spell to restore them to their original appearance.The three evil spirits were startled for a moment, looked at each other, and fell silent inexplicably.

Qiao Xingnian put the evil spirit into the Soul Requiem Bell, stood up and looked at Zheng Qiao, and said, "Brother Zheng, you said you gave the cat to someone else, who did you give it to?"

"His name is Liang Hongbin, he also belongs to this community, and he lives in Building 12."

"Did you go to see the cat after you sent it there?"

"No." Zheng Qiao shook his head and said, "Xiao Hai made a fuss for a while because of sending the cat away, and we didn't dare to let him know who to send it to, so we just sent some cat food and toys to Liang Hongbin, I just hope he can take better care of the cat. I don’t know what’s going on, why the cat died.”

"Brother Zheng, why did you think of giving the cat to Liang Hongbin?"

"This Liang Hongbin is a small Internet celebrity. He posts his daily life with cats on the Internet every day. Your sister-in-law has seen it. In the video, he is very kind to cats. After learning that he is also the owner of our community, we took the initiative to contact him. .”

"Brother Zheng, do you know where Liang Hongbin's family lives?"

Intuition told Qiao Xingnian that the problem with this matter was Liang Hongbin.

"Yes, I live in Unit 12, Building 1203, on the same floor as us."

"Then you come with me, in the name of watching cats."

Zheng Qiao looked at his parents on the ground and said worriedly, "Then... what about the family?"

"Let's carry our uncles and aunts into the house first, they won't wake up for the time being."

Zheng Qiao and Qiao Xingnian worked together to carry them into the house.

"Xingnian, you...how can you do this?"

Qiao Xingnian smiled and said, "If I say this is my side job, will Brother Zheng believe it?"

Zheng Qiao nodded hastily, and said, "I believe it, I saw it with my own eyes just now, there is no one who doesn't believe it."

"Brother Zheng, I'm sorry, it took me so long to come here to help you, the main reason is that I'm afraid you won't believe me if I tell you."

"I understand. If you said that you can catch ghosts at first, I will definitely take you for a liar. Besides, you have been helping us, giving your sister-in-law's amulet, and those charms."

Speaking of the spell, Qiao Xingnian was very strange and asked, "Where is the spell that my brother gave you before?"

Zheng Qiao took out the pendant around his neck and said, "Here, I fold it up and put it inside this, so that I can carry it with me and not lose it."

"What about uncle, aunt, and Xiao Hai's amulet?"

"Their pendants are also on me. I bought one for each of them."

As Zheng Qiao said, he went to touch Zheng Min's neck, but he couldn't find the pendant where the charm was placed.His heart tightened, and he went to check Guo Xiu's pendant again, but he couldn't find it.

"Impossible, I clearly watched them put the pendant on, how could it be gone."

"If the spell is there, the evil spirits can't get close to them. It may be that the evil spirits used some method to make them take off the pendant."

Qiao Xingnian handed the two spells used earlier to Zheng Qiao and said, "Brother Zheng, you take these two spells. One is pasted on the door, and the other is pasted on the French window of the living room."

"Okay, I'll go right now."

Zheng Qiao put the spell on, and Qiao Xingnian told Lin Rou again, "Sister-in-law, don't go out until we come back, and don't open the door no matter who calls. You can't open the windows either."

Lin Rou nodded and said, "Okay, I will definitely tell them."

Qiao Xingnian didn't say any more, and followed Zheng Qiao to Building No. 12. As soon as he came downstairs, Qiao Xingnian felt a strong resentment.

He looked up, and saw that the whole building was shrouded in resentment, and one of the floors was the most serious, and it was already pitch black.

"Brother Zheng, which floor is the Liang Hongbin you mentioned?"

"12 on the 1203th floor."

"It seems that there is trouble this time, so don't go up with me, go home directly."

"What's wrong?" Zheng Qiao asked suspiciously.

"If I'm not mistaken, that floor should be the floor where Liang Hongbin is."

Looking in the direction Qiao Xingnian pointed at, Zheng Qiao couldn't help but nodded and said, "That's right, the room you're pointing to is Liang Hongbin's room."

"Brother Zheng, go back, I know where he lives, remember what I said before."

Zheng Qiao hesitated for a while, and said, "I can't help you with this kind of thing, and staying here will only hinder you. You have to be very careful. If you are really not your opponent, don't be brave."

"Brother Zheng, don't worry. I'm not a reckless man. I'll just rush forward regardless. I'll send reinforcements." Qiao Xingnian took out his phone and said, "Brother Zheng, go back, I'll make a call right away."

"Okay, then I'll go first."

Qiao Xingnian took out Su Ran's business card and dialed his number.

"Hello, Mr. Su, I'm Qiao Xingnian. I'm in the Luoyang community. I found more than one evil spirit here. I need your help."

"Okay, I'll go over immediately."

Qiao Xingnian hung up the phone, found a hidden corner, recovered into a spirit state, and looked up at the building. The whole building was already entangled in resentment.

He recited the spell silently, took out eight small flags from the space, and inserted them in eight directions of the building according to the position of the gossip, to prevent the evil spirits from spilling out and hurting more people.

After waiting for about half an hour, Su Ran finally appeared in Qiao Xingnian's sight, followed by the ghost he saw in the hospital that day, he stepped forward to say hello: "Mr. Su, you are here. "

Su Ran saw that Qiao Xingnian was still in the state of leaving his soul, she couldn't help frowning slightly, but she didn't ask any further questions, and said, "Mr. Qiao, there is some traffic jam on the road. I'm late, please forgive me."

Qiao Xingnian smiled and said, "It's not too late to come. I have sealed the evil spirits in this building inside, so there shouldn't be any spillover."

Su Ran looked up at the building not far away, and couldn't help being slightly startled, a transparent barrier was erected high, which was caused by the formation of sealing evil spirits.This formation is easy to set up, but it requires a very high level of cultivation to activate it. It took him more than 20 years of practice to be able to achieve such an ability, but Qiao Xingnian looked like he was in his early twenties, and he never imagined that he could do this. .

Su Ran was about to speak, when he heard the siren sounding suddenly, he turned his head and looked over, and found that the police car was driving straight towards the building.

"How is this going?"

Qiao Xingnian couldn't help smiling, and said, "I borrowed my mobile phone to call the police."

Su Ran frowned slightly and said, "Call the police? Why?"

Qiao Xingnian explained: "Mr. Su, someone must have died in this building. I am in a state of a soul now. They can't see me, but they can see you. Although we didn't kill anyone, we have a clear conscience and are not afraid to investigate, but we can do less. If it’s troublesome, it’s less troublesome. Besides, I’m not a local, so I’ve spent a lot of time here, and I can’t afford to delay.”

Su Ran calmed down when he heard the words, and said, "Mr. Qiao is still thoughtful. It's just that you call the police, aren't you afraid to investigate?"

"I didn't report to the false police, and I'm sure they won't find me."

Su Ran smiled and said, "Then how should I get in now?"

"Mr. Su will go in with these policemen. With them as your time witnesses, even if someone really dies, Mr. Su will not be found out."

"Okay, then follow what Mr. Qiao said."

Su Ran took out a black cylinder-shaped thing from his pocket, pressed the button, and one end stretched out. This was his usual walking stick.

The ghost next to Su Ran was a man, with no resentment entangled on his body, and no obvious trauma, but his lips and face were blue, and he looked like he died of poisoning.

"Mr. Su, what's your name?"

"His name is Chu Qiao."

Qiao Xingnian smiled politely and said, "Hello, Mr. Chu."

Chu Qiao also curled his lips slightly and said, "Hello."

Su Ran said softly: "He is cold and not sociable, don't mind Mr. Qiao."

"It's okay." Qiao Xingnian looked away and didn't say any more.

Su Ran followed the police into the unit building. The police officer saw that he was a blind man, let him enter the elevator first, and asked him which floor he was going to.

"12st floor, thank you."

The police pressed the elevator button, followed to the 12th floor, let Su Ran get off the elevator first, and they followed suit.

"Old Liu, nothing happened here, did someone report a false police report?"

Old Liu walked to the door of room 1203 and said, "Should I knock on the door first and ask?"

Seeing Su Ran groping forward with his palms in hand, Xiao Li said, "Sir, where are you going? Let me help you there."

"I'm at 1203, please point me in the direction."

Lao Liu and Xiao Li looked at each other and said, "This is, who is the resident of 1203?"

"A friend I just met, surnamed Zheng, the owner of the tea garden."

Zheng Qiao's parents' house and Liang Hongbin's house were on the same floor and room number, but they were in different units. When asked by the police afterwards, it can be said that they went to the wrong building.

Su Ran understood and said, "A friend I just met, I have something to do with him."

Lao Liu nodded and raised his hand to knock on the door, but found that the door was ajar. He opened the door and looked in, saying, "Is anyone there?"

After calling several times, but no one answered, Lao Liu glanced at Xiao Li and frowned.

"It smells like blood." Qiao Xingnian said again.

Su Ran said thoughtfully: "I seem to smell something, like... the smell of blood."

Old Liu was startled when he heard the words, then took out the baton from his waist and walked in cautiously.

There was no one in the living room, but things were strewn about, and it was obvious that there had been a fight.The smell of blood became more and more obvious, Lao Liu couldn't help frowning, and stretched out his hand to push open the bedroom door.As the door opened, a strong smell of blood wafted into his nostrils. Lao Liu glanced at it, and couldn't help but change his expression.

Xiao Li who was following behind him looked curiously, then ran out covering his mouth.

Qiao Xingnian couldn't help but feel his stomach churning as he looked at the corpse on the ground.The belly of the corpse was torn apart, and the internal organs inside were gnawed to leave only residues; the face was disfigured, the eyeballs were poked out, and the tongue was pulled out; ten fingers were gnawed out seven times, and the thigh was even more Gnaw to the bone.

Lao Liu left the room, took out his mobile phone without saying a word, and called the office.He looked at Su Ran at the door and said, "A homicide happened here, and the crime scene needs to be maintained. Don't come in, and don't leave. I'll make a record with you after the call."

Su Ran didn't follow in, but asked Chu Qiao to check the situation. After Lao Liu went out, Chu Qiao followed to the door and described what he saw in detail to Su Ran.

"A homicide?" Su Ran pretended to be surprised and said, "It's impossible. I called him before I came, and he was fine at that time."

"Wait a minute." The call was connected, and Lao Liu reported what happened here to the director.

Qiao Xingnian didn't go out, but came to the balcony. There were many cages, big and small, which should be pet cages. There was a small basin in each cage, but there were no pets in the cages.

With such a strong resentment, there is not a single evil spirit in this room. It seems that those evil spirits have already gone to other residents' homes.

"Ah! Help!" A scream sounded, attracting everyone's attention.

Qiao Xingnian went straight through the wall and came to the door.

Hearing the voice, Lao Liu quickly said, "Xiao Li, you stay here, I'll go and have a look."

"Okay, Lao Liu, be careful."

Lao Liu came to the stairwell with his baton, "thump, thud," the sound of running sounded, and it was getting closer and closer. Someone was going upstairs. Lao Liu leaned forward slowly and looked down, only to see a woman He was chasing a man with a knife.The man climbed up in embarrassment, covering his arms with his hands. There was blood on his body, he should have been injured.

Old Liu hurried over to greet him. The man saw that Old Liu was wearing a police uniform, as if he had found a life-saving straw, and hurriedly called for help: "Comrade police, help me, she...she wants to kill me!"

Old Liu pulled the man behind him, confronted the woman with his baton, and said, "Don't come over, put down the knife, if you have anything to discuss, we can redeem it now..."

Before Old Liu finished speaking, the woman swung a knife and slashed over. Her eyes were dull, and she murmured: "Kill! Kill them all!"

Lao Liu hurriedly dodged and tried to snatch the knife from the woman's hand, but found that the woman was so powerful that he threw Lao Liu out.

Old Liu bumped into the wall and fell down the stairs again. His head was numb from the fall, and he couldn't get up for a while, so he could only watch helplessly as the woman swung the knife and chopped it down.

At this moment, a hand suddenly stretched out from the side. In his hand was a spell, and the spell was precisely attached to the woman's forehead, successfully preventing the woman from moving.

The woman screamed, and the knife in her hand fell to the ground. Black smoke billowed from her body, and then she fell limply to the ground.

Old Liu on the ground and the man hiding aside were stunned, completely unable to understand what was going on.

Su Ran stood up and explained: "She is possessed by an evil spirit, and she is fine now."

"Evil spirit?" The man suddenly understood, and said, "No wonder she didn't respond when I called her. It turned out that she was possessed by something dirty."

"There are no ghosts in this world, it's just that some people pretend to be ghosts."

Lao Liu got up from the ground, looked at Su Ran and said, "Who the hell are you? What are you doing here?"

Su Ran looked in the direction of Lao Liu and said, "I saved you just now, but you doubted me."

Old Liu's expression froze, and he said, "You saved me, I'm grateful to you, but I can't remove your suspicion."

"No, Comrade Police, you are going too far. I was there just now. Didn't you see my wife was covered in black smoke just now? And her scream just now, it seems that people can scream ? Even if you are a policeman, you can't treat yourself as blind." The man couldn't help but speak for Su Ran.
