Chapter Thirty-Four Big Brother's New House

  Although I didn't see the ghost in my brother's house, I know it's not just a matter of catching one ghost, so it's still better to let Master come, but subconsciously touching my phone, I was confused at that time. Now I'm separated from Master, the key is that Master doesn't have a mobile phone, now in this era, where can I find him? The problem is that I don't know where Master went, he just said to go and find clues about the ghost king, after a while, I smiled bitterly, thinking of ways in my heart, but it made my brother misunderstand: "Master, don't worry, I know this is not simple, money matters can be negotiated, if it really works out, even the development side will give a lot of money."

  When I heard my brother's words, I couldn't help but snort. This wasn't about the money. I glanced at him sideways and said with a hint of mockery: "Brother, you must have misunderstood. My master is an enlightened person, how could he care about money? Just donate what you owe to the impoverished mountain areas later, my master only charges for one meal, that's all, just eighty cents will do."

  That big brother listened, not only did he not get angry, but his eyes lit up and he chuckled a few times: "This is the real deal, don't worry, as long as Master can help me handle it well, I'll do whatever you say."

  I shook my head and was about to say something to Big Brother, but instead looked at Zhang Jianhua: "Zhang, I'm going to trouble you again. Go back to the hotel and keep watch. If Master comes back, tell him what's happening here and ask him to come over. I'll stay here and wait for him, and see how things develop."

  But I didn't expect Zhang Jianhua to be smarter than me, and after a moment of stunned silence, he said, "Master, why not just give your master a call?"

  I couldn't help but smile wryly, glaring at Zhang Jianhua: "If Master had a phone, would you need to say it? My master said he doesn't use mobile phones at all. If he wants to recruit someone, he has his own way - yeah, I can try too!"

  Zhang Jianhua reminded me at the time that Master has a method of flying pigeon messaging, this technique is recorded in the secret book, I can also try it out, Xuanguang technique I can cast, this thing should not be a problem, after all, it's just an illusion technique combined with ghost control technique, it shouldn't be difficult for me, this is just the simplest magic.

  No nonsense, he took out the secret book from his bosom and found the flying pigeon message, carefully read it once, then closed his eyes, and already understood what it meant. He took a deep breath, and had a plan in mind. Only then did he take out a yellow talisman paper from his bosom, and took out the cinnabar and brush that he always carried with him, and drew a simple spirit-gathering array on the spot. This spell didn't require much spiritual energy, so the formation was also simple. Three to five strokes turned into it, but unfortunately, after trying it out, it couldn't gather spiritual energy, and could only be redrawn from scratch. It took more than ten attempts to finally succeed.

  The rest was easy, folding paper cranes was my specialty, of course I had to practice hard for a long time to chase after girls, now it's finally useful, a paper crane quickly appeared in my hand, absolutely more beautiful than the ones folded by my master. Of course, just being good-looking wasn't enough, since it didn't require much spiritual energy, I didn't need to use the Nine-Character True Word Spell, just concentrated and quieted my mind, channeled my energy, and cleared my thoughts, then I had already infused spiritual energy into it, I could feel the spiritual aura inside the talisman paper. That was done, what's left was to catch a ghost, which wasn't difficult at all, this place was a yin realm, catching a wandering ghost or wild spirit wasn't a problem, or rather, should be invited. With a change of heart, I quietly shouted: "Yuanshi Dazhen, Wulei Gaosheng. Taihua Haoying, Donglang Bamen. Wu Lao Gaoming, Youyou Buwen. Shang Yu Jiutian, Zhong Zhi Yushan. Xia Zhen Hehai, Shi'er Yongyuan. Ba Wei Shen Xiao, Ling Ce Yuwen. Tiandi Youhun, Wei Wo Suoyong, Taishang Laokun Jiji Rulüling, Sha——"

  He closed his eyes tightly, opened his heavenly eye, and saw the wandering spirits and wild ghosts floating between heaven and earth. These ghostly spirits wouldn't harm people, but were just pitiful souls. He thought for a moment, took out a stack of yellow talismans from his pocket, bit his middle finger, and pressed the bloodstain onto the talisman. The air flickered, and he muttered to himself: "All you wandering spirits and wild ghosts, I, Liu Hai, need your help today to deliver a message. Those who are willing, come quickly! Fresh blood as an offering, a gift of spiritual energy..."

  The words were not yet finished, when suddenly a golden light flashed on the yellow talisman paper. In an instant, countless lonely souls and wild ghosts sensed it, and indeed many wandering spirits and wild ghosts rushed to come and help. These poor wandering spirits and wild ghosts usually had no one to offer sacrifices to them, and they couldn't even get a whiff of incense. Now that there was a little benefit, they all crowded in to enjoy it. However, in the end, one ghost squeezed out, transformed into a gust of yin wind, and entered the paper crane. I took a deep breath, held the paper crane in my hand, lit the yellow talisman paper on fire, and watched as the yellow talisman paper burned up. The paper crane was already moving on its own. I didn't dare hesitate, and shouted in a low voice: "Chi Shu Huan Luo, Feng Huo Wu Jian. She Lian Ying Ming, Jin Ma Yi Chuan. Tai Shang Lao Jun Ji Ji Ru Lv Ling, Ji——"

  As soon as the words fell, the paper crane shone with a flash of golden light and transformed into something that didn't look like a pigeon or a crane. I couldn't help but laugh bitterly at my lack of imagination. But this didn't stop the paper crane from suddenly spreading its wings and flying away, straight up into the blue sky. It had really come to life! I couldn't help but let out a cheer - I was a genius, a natural-born talent!

  But I was happy too early, and saw that my strange paper crane flew up, about ten or twenty meters high, suddenly hit something, and then burst into flames. I could even see the vengeful spirit being knocked down, screaming in agony as it fell to the ground, disappearing before hitting the ground. All the vengeful spirits and wild ghosts disappeared instantly. What's going on? I didn't feel like there was anything wrong with my spell, it should have been successful. If not, I would know myself. The paper crane turned into a ball of fire and fell down, just as Big Brother and Zhang Jianhua were looking up, unaware that the fire had landed right on Big Brother's head, igniting his hair, followed by a blood-curdling scream.

  Big Brother's head was on fire, which stunned me. Zhang Jianhua reacted quickly, taking off his shirt, dipping it in water, and covering Big Brother's head with it. The fire was finally extinguished, but Big Brother's poor hairstyle was completely ruined, with a bald spot on top of his head. However, the hair below was still intact, making it look like something had taken a bite out of it. I thought Big Brother would be anxious, but instead he nodded at me and gave me a thumbs up: "Great job!"

  This left me speechless, and I didn't think much more about it. I just smiled wryly at Zhang Jianhua: "Zhang, looks like you'll have to run an errand for me after all."

  Zhang Jianhua didn't say anything, just responded with a "yes" and left after exchanging greetings with his older brother. I had no idea when Master would return to the hotel. After Zhang Jianhua left, I was going to go upstairs to my older brother's room, but that woman refused to go up again, saying she wanted to wait in the car instead. My older brother didn't force her, after all, even he was a bit scared, so it wasn't surprising that a woman would be too.

  The older brother's home is on the third floor, which is a good floor. There are two sunny rooms and one shaded room. The living room is quite spacious, but it has only been renovated halfway. However, the renovation was halted, leaving the place looking very messy. This made the older brother feel somewhat embarrassed. He scratched his bald head and chuckled dryly: "Sorry about that, it's a bit dirty. We were in the middle of renovating, but those workers who stayed overnight that night had quite an experience. One almost got scared out of their wits, while another fell from the third floor and broke their leg. They refused to continue working, even refusing payment."

  "Hey, it's broad daylight now, those evil spirits won't come out yet. After all, even in a yin place, there will be sunlight to suppress the yin energy. But at night, this place is simply a paradise for ghosts. If someone hasn't died here yet, they're already lucky. It would be strange if someone still managed to survive. I furrowed my brow and didn't speak, closing my eyes to feel it out. Even in broad daylight, I can sense the eerie atmosphere. I wonder if evil spirits will appear at night?"

  Seeing me not speaking, my brother sighed and said: "Originally buying a three-bedroom apartment was to bring my parents over too, so they wouldn't be neglected. Who knew it would turn out like this? If things don't go well, my parents will have to move into a rental house, sigh..."

  It's clear that big brother is really worried, this house has spent all his savings, and he can't even think about buying another one. Unexpectedly, big brother is still a filial son. If it's true, I'm willing to help him. He just nodded and quickly found a place to sit down, smiling at big brother: "I'll take a look tonight, if it's not okay, you can go back first, ghosts will come out at night, it's not something to be taken lightly."

  "Didn't think big brother had such guts, he let out a cold snort, his face unchanging: 'With a master around, what's there to fear? Tonight I'll give you a beating buddy, and if something happens, we can take care of each other.'"

  I didn't say anything else, having one more person made me feel at ease in my heart. Although big brother couldn't help me with my troubles and might have even made things worse, as time passed by, the sun began to set in the west, and the yin energy grew stronger. Even before it was evening, there were already vengeful spirits coming out to wail. I could hear the mournful cries of the vengeful spirits. Looking out from the window, the entire neighborhood had become quite dark. Even though I could still see the sun, its rays couldn't penetrate through anymore.

  I was lost in thought, when suddenly my older brother let out a loud cry of surprise, startling me. I quickly turned around to see what he was pointing at, and that's when I saw it - a ghostly face had appeared on the wall. At first glance, it looked like just a water stain, but upon closer inspection, I realized that the face was actually moving, its eyes gleaming with a fierce light as it stared at us. I let out a loud whoop and my eyes flashed with excitement as I shouted "Ling---"

  As a result, I hadn't even finished making the gesture when the ghost face suddenly disappeared, and the room returned to calmness. Only my older brother was panting heavily, seeing that the sky was darkening, I simply turned on all the lights, and with the brighter room, I wouldn't feel so tense inside.

  The sky is getting darker, the sun has completely set, and only a faint afterglow can be seen hanging on the horizon. It's about to get dark, looking out from the window, the entire neighborhood is pitch black, with only a few buildings on the outskirts having some lights on, but most of them are still dark. The ones that can hold on until nightfall are extremely rare. At night, it's the world of ghosts and spirits, I hope Master can hurry over as soon as possible.
