The Terror of the Heavens Begins with Gu

Chapter 93: Someone scammed me out of money? And left the front of my ID card?
The child looked to be about ten years old, thin, with straw-like hair, and looked a little malnourished.

No matter what Li Xiangwen asked, he didn't respond.

Li Xiangwen had no choice but to take the person out first.

Those children must have remembered his face after returning to their bodies, but most people would probably think it was a dream.

If I meet him again in the future, I will probably feel that he looks strangely familiar.

A few gifted children might remember what happened tonight and be able to tell what happened.

Wouldn’t this create a lot of good relationships?

Li Xiangwen couldn't help laughing.

When he walked outside to the playground, he heard some laughter and thought, those kids are really playful.

He followed the sound of laughter and saw seven or eight children having fun on the slide. He immediately shouted, "Stop playing! It's time to go back! Otherwise, the bad guys will take you away again!"

The children scattered and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"The bad guys are chasing the one who runs the slowest!" Li Xiangwen walked out with the child beside him.

After walking for a while, I saw the madman who had just run out with blood all over his face.

The other person stood beside the abandoned roller coaster with his back to Li Xiangwen, grinning foolishly.

After confirming that this guy was indeed crazy, Li Xiangwen ignored him.

As he walked past the madman, he shouted something incoherently, then suddenly turned around and chased after Li Xiangwen, which scared Li Xiangwen.

When he turned around, he found that the man was about to pounce on him. He raised his foot and kicked the man to the ground.

The man fell to the ground and kept laughing.

The child being pulled by Li Xiangwen hid behind him in fear.

Li Xiangwen didn't want to argue with a madman, so he walked quickly towards the gate of the amusement park.

Seeing Li Xiangwen, Shen Lan first breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing the child in Li Xiangwen's arms again, she asked in surprise, "Dad, where did this child come from?"

Li Xiangwen recounted what had just happened and concluded, "This child must have been frightened. He won't answer no matter how we ask him. We can only send him directly to the police station."

Shen Lan hesitated and said, "I'm afraid this is not easy to explain."

"Why wouldn't this be easy to explain?" Li Xiangwen opened the car door. "We were passing by and saw something was going on inside. We went in and found the child collapsed on the ground."

"Anyway, we haven't done anything wrong, so we can make up whatever makes sense."

"That's right." Shen Lan nodded. "I have friends working in relevant departments. No one should make things difficult for us, but..."

She glanced at Li Xiangwen's backpack and asked, "Is that...strange thing inside?"

After letting the child get in the car, Li Xiangwen climbed in himself and said, "Yeah, I don't know what it is either. It's been wrapped into a ball. Do you want to see it?"

"I'd better not watch it. I'm worried I'll have a nightmare." Shen Lan started the car.

Li Xiangwen breathed a sigh of relief: "Take care of things as soon as possible so I can go back and take care of Xiaoyu."

As Shen Lan drove, she said, "Is this child also out of his mind? Why does he look so dazed?"

Li Xiangwen glanced at the child and said, "I just returned one of this child's souls to him. How could he still have lost his soul?"

It didn't take long for the two of them to take the dazed child to the police station.

By the time the two of them returned to the community and took Li Ruoyu home, it was already past twelve o'clock.

Li Xiangwen opened his backpack and found that the evil spirit that had been crumpled into a small ball had disappeared, and the puppet had returned to normal and was no longer in a sinister look.

Knowing that the mysterious being had left, Li Xiangwen did not dare to be negligent.

After tidying up the altar, he placed the doll respectfully on the altar, then lit three incense sticks and inserted them into the incense burner.

"I am deeply grateful for your assistance. Don't worry, I will help you find the second volume of the book as soon as possible."

……

Under the deserted street light, Li Zhen, who was in his spirit state, sensed the direction and quickly rushed towards his home.

The small ball in his hand seemed to be flying in the air.

If someone noticed this ball, they would definitely think they were seeing things.

The closer the distance, the stronger the pull of the soul-calling formation on Li Zhen, so Li Zhen's speed became faster and faster, and finally he turned into a flying posture without touching the ground.

After passing through several walls, Li Zhen's soul attached itself to his body.

Although his soul had already entered his body, Li Zhen was still unable to control his body for a moment, as if there was a gap between his soul and his body.

Li Zhen was not surprised.

He knew that this was because the body lacked yang energy, which further weakened the body's "attraction" to the soul.

If there were no soul-calling formation, he might not be able to come back this time.

After lying in the coffin for a long time, Li Zhen slowly got up from the coffin.

After adjusting his body, he climbed out of the coffin.

Picking up the ball on the ground, Li Zhen walked towards the house opposite.

Sitting down in front of the table where the palm leaf whip was offered, Li Zhen peeled off the small ball bit by bit and saw the ugly rag doll inside.

All that was left of the rag doll was a head covered in twisted runes, with a small piece of wriggling flesh hanging under the head, like some of its internal organs that had not been completely removed.

The kid riding an inflatable pony appeared beside Li Zhen. His eyes sparkled as he stared at the stuffed doll in Li Zhen's hand. "What is this?"

"I don't know what it is either. It seems to be a combination of many resentments?" Li Zhen wiped off the runes on the rag doll.

With a "puff" sound, the rag doll broke free from the thin string that Li Zhen used to seal its facial features and opened its eyes.

When it saw Li Zhen, it struggled and made an unpleasant sound from its mouth, like cloth strips rubbing against each other.

Li Zhen frowned.

Is this thing talking?

At this time, the little ghost suddenly said: "It said that you guys should keep yourselves out of each other's way..."

Li Zhen looked at the little ghost in surprise: "Can you understand what it says?"

The little ghost scratched his head in confusion: "I don't know why, but I seem to understand what it said."

"Now listen to what it says?"

"It seems to be saying, 'Don't interfere with other people's business.' I told you to let it go, but what else can you do? Otherwise, something will happen to you."

"How about what?"

"I don't know. I can't hear clearly. Can I play with this thing? I love it!"

"Ask it what it is and whether it has an owner." Li Zhen hesitated for a moment and gave the rag doll to the little ghost.

The little ghost happily grabbed the rag doll, flattened and rounded its head, and put it in his mouth and bit it with his sharp teeth.

“It’s fun!”

The cries of the rag doll seemed to become more shrill. It struggled with all its strength to slide out of the little ghost's hands and onto the ground. However, before it could run far, it was caught by the little ghost again.

After playing for a while, the little ghost finally remembered Li Zhen who was standing next to him. He raised his head timidly, glanced at Li Zhen, and quickly asked the little ghost: "Hey, what are you? Do you have an owner?"

The rag doll was still struggling, but after being slapped several times by the little ghost, it finally became quiet, opening and closing its mouth as if it was saying something.

The little ghost automatically translated: "It said it didn't know what it was. It was born in that playground, and it didn't know what a master was."

do not know?
Li Zhen pondered for a moment, took the rag doll back from the little ghost's hand, and tried to whip it a few times with a palm leaf whip, causing the rag doll to let out a hoarse scream.

The little ghost couldn't help but say, "If you hit it again, it will die."

Li Zhen did not stop. After several consecutive whippings, most of the Yin energy of the rag doll was knocked away.

The palm leaf whip took root in the rag doll, which was too weak to even struggle.

But the strange thing was that the palm leaf whip did not completely absorb the rag doll, but only caused the rag doll's head to shrink a little.

Li Zhen picked up the rag doll.

He found that the thoughts of the rag doll had become extremely chaotic, as if it was an aggregation of countless inconsistent thoughts.

The palm leaf whip only devoured the will that originally dominated?

Li Zhen closed his eyes and examined for a moment the memory that the palm leaf whip conveyed to his mind.

The dominant will was actually very chaotic, with very few organized memories. The most common images were of it capturing the child's soul, and the face of the man that Li Zhen saw in front of the altar where the evil creature was enshrined.

This thing has a very monotonous memory.

When he was almost at the end of the check, Li Zhen saw something a little different.

In that dark and humid environment, Li Zhen saw a different face flash by.

That face was just an ordinary face, nothing worth remembering, except that the look in that face was extremely evil.

It was just such a simple picture, without any emotion. Li Zhen didn't know what was going on at the time. He could only be sure that the man had seen this evil thing.

The evil creature's chaotic emotions consisted solely of a desire for the child's soul, and beyond that, a strong sense of territory.

It regarded the abandoned playground as its territory and would be alerted if anyone entered there.

Going forward, the memory of this thing is a blur.

It really didn't know how it came into being, it just suddenly developed a vague consciousness one day. Li Zhen was very disappointed.

Starting from this evil object, the information obtained is very limited.

But there are indeed evil things in reality, so it seems I have to be more careful in the future...

Li Zhen opened his eyes and saw the little ghost's expectant gaze.

"Can you give it to me?" the kid asked cautiously.

Li Zhen said expressionlessly, "How many missions have you completed? Not even enough to replace that inflatable pony."

The kid lowered his head in shame: "I will do more in the future."

Its figure disappeared from the spot, and then appeared dejectedly on the inflatable pony, only to hear Li Zhen say, "It's not a problem to give this thing to you."

The little ghost suddenly raised his head and asked in surprise: "Really?"

"You can't lose him, otherwise the consequences will be very serious." Li Zhen threw the rag doll to the little ghost.

The little ghost hurriedly caught the doll and quickly declared, "I will definitely not lose it!"

Li Zhen added, "You still need to help me do one thing."

The little ghost said proudly: "No matter what it is, I will definitely do my best!"

However, after just ten minutes, it felt a little regretful.

"If I do this, will I really be fine? But I feel a little uncomfortable..."

At this time, the little ghost holding a rag doll was sitting cross-legged among several talismans.

The talismans were all pasted on a small cup of chicken blood, connected to each other with thin threads.

If you look more closely, you can find that the relative positions of those cups are somewhat similar to the positions of several stars on the dragon's tail of the Azure Dragon.

Those talismans were searched out from the one-eyed wizard. No one knew what they were used for, but Li Zhen could feel that the talismans had a strong yang energy.

So Li Zhen combined the memories of the one-eyed wizard and the Taoist behind him, and set up a magic circle to intensify the Yang energy.

"If you can't hold on, I'll let you out."

Li Zhen lit a piece of talisman paper.

"The magnificent sky, the talisman connects the nine realms, the Three Pure Ones issue orders, the spiritual seals reveal their power..."

Throw the talisman paper onto the bowl of chicken blood in front of him.

The talisman paper stuck on the cup fluttered and was immediately ignited.

The string connecting the cups was also ignited, and then several other talisman papers were ignited.

The chicken blood in the cup flickered, and blood-colored mist emerged.

The little ghost sitting in the formation immediately screamed: "Ah... It hurts! It hurts! I'm going to die! I'm going to die!"

The head of the rag doll in its hand also became twisted, as if it was in great pain.

Although there is some pretense, it is not entirely pretense...

Li Zhen, who was standing outside, also felt a little uncomfortable on his skin.

He stepped back a few steps to observe the reactions of the little ghosts in the formation.

When the talisman paper was more than half burned, the Yang energy in the formation became more and more intense, and even the gloom in the room was expelled by the Yang energy.

The little ghost rolled around in the formation in pain, shouting that he regretted it and asked Li Zhen to let him out quickly, otherwise he would die.

This is of course a bit of an exaggeration.

Even the rag doll in its hand was not killed except for its head which shrank a lot. It was even more impossible for the little ghost to be killed directly by the stimulated yang energy.

Li Zhen moved a few cups away.

The little ghost, whose body had become half real and half virtual, suddenly rushed out of the formation and fell weakly at Li Zhen's feet.

After recovering a little, it hid the rag doll in its arms: "I...I was just kidding, this thing is mine."

"How do you feel?" Li Zhen observed the little ghost.

He noticed that there seemed to be something extra in the little ghost's body, like a thread, wrapped around the yin energy in the little ghost's body, and was obviously different from the little ghost's body.

But as the little ghost recovered, the thing disappeared without a trace.

Is it really useful?

The little ghost is much weaker than Li Zhen. A simple formation that invigorates the Yang energy can create a Yang energy that is stronger than the little ghost's Yin energy, thus achieving the ratio of Yang energy to Yin energy that Li Zhen envisioned.

This level of Yang energy can defeat the ghost's own Yin energy and penetrate into the ghost's body without causing fatal harm to the ghost.

As long as Li Zhen feeds the little ghost a little more of his own blood, the little ghost will recover.

Doing so not only makes it easier for Li Zhen to observe, but also saves talismans.

If Li Zhen were to go up himself, he would need to use a large number of talismans at once to create yang energy strong enough to disperse the yin energy in his body.

In this way, the talismans he obtained could not be used many times.

However, after only one experiment, Li Zhen saw the right direction.

The kid wiped the non-existent cold sweat off his face and said, "It's just very uncomfortable, like being pricked by needles."

"No other feelings?"

"It hurts so much, there's no other feeling."

Li Zhen didn't ask any more questions.

He asked the little ghost to go back into the small bamboo basket, dripped a few drops of blood into it, and then placed the weak and silent rag doll in front of the small bamboo basket.

After returning to the magic circle, Li Zhen sat directly in the position where the little ghost had just sat.

This level of Yang energy can only make him feel a stinging pain, but cannot directly disperse his Yin energy like it does with the little ghost.

After hesitating for a moment, Li Zhen directly prepared chicken blood and talisman paper according to three times the amount.

When the magic circle was activated, Li Zhen finally experienced the pain that the little ghost had just described.

A few minutes later, Li Zhen, sweating profusely and his body as red as a shrimp, lay weakly on the ground, gasping for breath.

Although the pain was intense, after the pain, he felt as if he had just been to a sauna and his whole body was relaxed.

It actually works...

Li Zhen was a little happy.

The soul is indeed a little more stable than before.

However, the Yang energy of this talisman and chicken blood is too violent. If he tries it a few more times, it might cause harm to his own soul.

If we replace it with human blood, would the yang energy stimulated be milder?
Is this the reason why those ghosts like human yang energy?

After resting for a while, Li Zhen sent a text message to Fatty Huang overnight, asking him to bring some blood from adult men the next day.

Li Zhen wants a lot.

In addition to his own needs, vampire zombies also need human blood.

The next day, Li Zhen received a large amount of human blood sent by Fatty Huang.

After a day's rest, at night, he was trying to come to a conclusion about whether the Yang energy in human blood was milder, when he suddenly received a message from the little ghost who was sent to Li Xiangwen's house to check on the situation, saying that Li Xiangwen had been cheated out of more than 10,000 yuan when buying books.

Li Zhen was a little surprised when he heard the news.

How could Li Xiangwen, such a veteran in the world, be deceived?
When Li Zhen saw what happened through the little ghost's vision, he understood what was going on.

In order to find the second volume of the Dharma Scroll for Li Zhen, Li Xiangwen finally contacted a person who claimed to be a direct disciple of Changshan School the day before yesterday. Today, he finally negotiated the purchase with the other party after a lot of effort.

The other party had photos with important figures of the Changshan School, photos of him practicing in Taoist robes, various ID photos, and photos of the cover of the second volume of "Spiritual Laws and Talismans".

To ensure the authenticity of the matter, the other party also sent a photo of his ID card and had a video call with Li Xiangwen for a few minutes.

So Li Xiangwen believed the other party's words and directly transferred the agreed amount of more than 10,000 yuan to the other party, only asking the other party to send him a photocopy.

After receiving the money, the other party did send the book to my email.

It turned out that the only thing that was real about the book was the cover, and the contents inside were all messed up.

Li Xiangwen had never expected that a disciple of Changshan Sect would actually deceive an old man like him, so he immediately argued with the other party. Unexpectedly, the other party confidently said that the book had been given to him, and it was Li Xiangwen's problem that he could not understand it.

In the end, the other party scolded Li Xiangwen and blocked him, which made Li Xiangwen very depressed.

He was still happy when he came home last night, but today he was as wilted as a frost-bitten eggplant. He kept telling the kid that it was all his fault for being stupid, and if he had been more careful he wouldn't have been fooled like this.

Li Zhen passed the message and asked Li Xiangwen to print out the other party's ID card photo.

Li Xiangwen had some guesses in his mind, so he went straight to print a color version.

He works for Li Zhen.

There is no difference between cheating him out of money and cheating Li Zhen out of money.

Li Zhen naturally couldn't just sit back and watch.

Li Zhen, who was sitting cross-legged in front of the coffin, opened his eyes.

A printed ID photo fell into his lap.
