Daoist, please stay

It looked like something was on fire.

The bride's complexion changed suddenly, and Tao Xi could finally control her own body. When she lowered her head, smoke was rising from her chest.

"What! How dare you stop me!"

The ghost bride's voice was sharp, and she reached out to grab Tao Xi's chest.

A flash of light was visible to the naked eye, and the ghost bride was thrown more than one meter away as if she had been shocked by electricity.

With a mournful howl.

The surrounding environment has changed.

No wedding room, no flowers and candles.

Carved beams and painted buildings have become cobwebbed and dusty empty houses.Anthuriums are green will-o'-the-wisps that burn at the tops of the two radii.

The wine glass in his hand turned into the skull of some animal, and the dark eye sockets were shining faintly at him.

Tao Xi was so frightened that her legs went limp. She looked around and wanted to run out when she found the door.

Unexpectedly, within two steps, a paw grabbed his shoulder from behind.

The woman behind her was no longer glamorous, but looking along her withered and white paws, she saw an ugly face with maggots wriggling, one eyeball hanging out of the eye socket, and the flesh under the cheekbones so rotten that only teeth could be seen!

"Husband, accompany me to drink Hebei wine..."

The voice is like a hoarse mocking after the vocal cords are torn, it hurts the eardrum.

Tao Xi broke out in great fear.With a wave of his hand, he knocked off the ghost claw clasped on his shoulder, and let out a loud roar.

"Ugly, how dare you provoke your Taoist grandpa! You're so tired!"

Following his movements, a small sachet flew out and just hit the female ghost.

The female ghost let out a more stern roar.

Fall backwards.

Tao Xi took the opportunity to rush out, and ran desperately in the direction of the gate.

The path is winding and long, lined with big trees that block out the sky and block out the sun.

Tao Xi felt that his feet were filled with lead, and he couldn't run fast, and soon felt that his heart and lungs were about to explode.

Although he didn't look back, the goosebumps on his back clearly told him that the female ghost was catching up!

Damn!Why did you pester him!

There is nothing on him for self-defense.

Tao Xi regretted so much, why didn't he put a pair of scissors under the pillow before going to sleep, it's good to hold it in his hand to scare the other party.

There was a gust of wind behind him.

The female ghost's shrill roar came from far away.

"Why don't you want me! Why don't you want me! They're all going to die, die with me!"

Just when Tao Xi was about to despair, there was an extra person beside the path ahead.

A tall man in a gray coat and black pants.

Although his back was turned to him, Tao Xi instinctively believed that that person was Xie Qinglan!

He rushed over with the last of his strength, grabbed the opponent's arm and just pulled it.

"Thank you fellow daoist for saving me!"

The other party turned around leisurely under the strength of his pull, but it turned out to be a pale face without any facial features...

Tao Xi's heart contracted violently... and suddenly opened his eyes.

it's a dream...

Her heart was beating wildly, her chest was tight and painful, and Tao Xi was startled to realize that she was covered in cold sweat and was breathing heavily.

The fingers of both hands were pressed against the chest, and the muscles all over the body were tense and sore.

It's like running as fast as you can.

Turning around, there was no light outside.

It's still early.

It took a while to catch his breath, and he turned on the bedside lamp tremblingly, with lingering fears in his heart.

This dream is too real...or maybe it's not a dream...

Still unable to control the muscle tremors all over his body, Tao Xi raised his hand to look.

Except for the knuckles that were so stiff that they turned white, he suddenly noticed that the sachet, the sachet containing the talisman Xie Qinglan gave him was gone!

What followed was an unspeakable pain.

He gasped for air and unbuttoned the three buttons, and saw that his chest was red as if it had been burned, and there were even a few small blisters.

Touch it, it hurts like hell.

The physical pain relieved the mental tension.

Tao Xi didn't dare to sleep anymore, and kept the lights on until dawn.

Recalling Xie Qinglan's words, he felt that there was something wrong with this house, and it seemed that every place that could not be illuminated by light might be the woman's hiding place.

She hid in the darkness, staring at herself with malicious eyes...

Tao Xi was almost scared to death by his brain power.

After finally surviving until dawn, he couldn't wait for a moment, grabbed his phone and rushed out to the youth hostel!

It is the peak tourist season recently, and the youth hostels in Pingzhou have also ushered in the best business season of the year.

Not long after the door opened, the little girl at the front desk ushered in a flustered little handsome guy.

The little handsome guy was full of panic, he couldn't speak clearly, and begged her for the room number of a guest named Xie Qinglan.

This could not have been said.

But unable to withstand the tenderness of the other party's pitiful big eyes, the girl at the front desk softened and told him that Xie Qinglan lived in the last room on the second floor.

Tao Xi thanked the girl at the front desk and went straight to the second floor.

He has never lived in a youth hostel.

I didn't live there even when I was at my worst.

So I didn't know that the Youth Hostel was so...open.

Men and women in the corridor yawned and rubbed each other's shoulders, carrying basins to wash in the large water room together.

It's like a non-standard, co-ed student apartment.

Tao Xi walked past several shirtless elders in the narrow corridor in embarrassment, saying "excuse me, I'm sorry."

His face was flushed because of his fear and his rush to run, and he looked stiff and shy.

In addition, his skin is fair and tender, and his eyes are big and moist, so there are a few stinky men whistling at him.

Tao Xi almost couldn't take care of his life, so he couldn't take care of these hooligans' teasing.

After finding Xie Qinglan's room, she stood at the door and hesitated for a few seconds, raising her hand wondering whether to knock or not.

Just a few seconds after he hesitated, the door was opened from the inside,

A 1.9-meter-tall elder brother with tattoos covering half of his arm looked at him for a moment, and asked in a rough voice.

"Who are you looking for?"

Tao Xi's 1.7m [-] was so suppressed by the opponent that he couldn't lift his head up, and said timidly.

"Well...I'm looking for Xie Qinglan...does he live here?"

I really asked.

The tattooed brother turned around and shouted.

"Xie Qinglan, someone is looking for you."

A strange voice came from the room.

"Who is so early? Is it sick?"

The tattooed brother turned his head and scolded.

"What the fuck is your business? Shut up!"

Tao Xi bit her lip in embarrassment, and stepped aside.

"You please."

The tattoo brother squeezed past Tao Xi sideways, his voice softened a lot.

"Don't pay attention to the people inside, they are all idiots. Wait, Xie Qinglan will come out later."

Tao Xi hurriedly thanked him, and stood aside obediently, waiting for Mr. Xie to come out to meet him.

After a while, Xie Qinglan really pulled his black cloth shoes out, and closed the door behind him.

"Thank you, master..."

Tao Xi almost cried when he saw Xie Qinglan.

Xie Qinglan waved her hand, signaling him to go out and talk.

It was bright outside, and the sun was shining warmly on my body.

Standing in the sunlight, Tao Xi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that he had finally returned to the world.

Xie Qinglan looked around and left.

"Let's go, you invite me to breakfast today."

On the greasy table were two drawers of steamed buns, two bowls of egg drop soup, two deep-fried dough sticks, and a bowl of millet porridge.

Xie Qinglan broke off the chopsticks with ease.

"You really don't want to eat?"

Tao Xi couldn't eat anything, and shook his head honestly.

"I'm not hungry, master, you eat."

Xie Qinglan wasn't too polite, she took a mouthful of steamed buns.

"Don't call me Master, it sounds awkward. Call me Qing Lan."

Tao Xi is as good as others.

"Uh, okay, Fellow Daoist Qinglan. I dreamed about that female ghost again."

Xie Qinglan didn't seem surprised by this at all.

"I know."

"you know?"

Tao Xi was startled.

Worthy of being a master!Can this be counted?

Xie Qinglan pointed to Tao Xi's chest with chopsticks.

"Where's the talisman I gave you? It's not on you right now."

Tao Xi's face turned pale.

Checking left and right to see that there was no one in the store, he secretly pulled off his collar and showed Xie Qinglan the blisters on his chest.

On the white and tender chest, there was a scalded red eye, a few small blisters that were almost indestructible, crystal clear.

Xie Qinglan choked on a mouthful of steamed stuffed bun, almost unable to swallow it.

In a panic, she stretched out her hand to gather her collar, and broke the blister, and Tao Xi gasped in pain.

"What are you doing... in public."

Tao Xi wrapped his hands around the neckline, imitating Xie Qinglan and lowering his voice, and said cautiously.

"What's the matter? Is there any taboo?"

Xie Qinglan choked again and sighed secretly.

"Always pay attention to the impact."

"Oh," Tao Xi blushed slightly. "Life is at stake, and I don't care about that much. I just want to tell you that the talisman you gave me is gone. I frightened the female ghost for a while, and I was almost captured by her."

Xie Qinglan's complexion returned to normal, and she took a sip of soy milk.

"I underestimated that thing, I didn't expect it to be so fierce."

Tao Xi frowned.

"Then what should I do? I can escape for a while, can I escape for the rest of my life? Is it useful to move out of that haunted house now?"

Xie Qinglan shook her head.

"She has her eyes on you. It's useless for you to go to the United States now. This matter can no longer be good."

Tao Xi looked at him expectantly.

"Master, you will help me, right, because of our fate."

Xie Qinglan wasn't the kind of person who likes to meddle in other people's business, and what's more, this time, it seems quite troublesome at first glance.

But with Tao Xi's watery eyes, his heart softened.

"It's my duty to eliminate demons and defend the way. Don't worry, I will save you."

After eating and drinking, Xie Qinglan followed Tao Xi back to the small rental house.

You have to take a look at the female ghost's lair before you can make a plan to clear it.

Tao Xi had a psychological shadow on this house, and with Xie Qinglan's company, he reluctantly dared to step into this haunted house again.

As soon as Xie Qinglan entered the door, she wandered around and observed in detail.

The house is not big, about 40 square meters. It is a one-bedroom studio with an independent kitchen and bathroom, and the rest of the space is the bedroom.

The overall sun is shining, and the sun shines in most of the day. It stands to reason that it should not be an environment where dirt and evil people and practices are hidden.

Tao Xi followed Xie Qinglan step by step.

As a fake half-immortal, it's okay to give some psychological hints at ordinary times, but when he encounters a real ghost, he will stop.At this time, it was still Xie Qinglan's broad arms, which gave people a sense of security.

The room is not big, Xie Qinglan quickly looked through it.

Tao Xi followed behind and beeped softly.

"Fellow Daoist Qing Lan, don't you use a compass? I've seen them all use a compass on TV."

Xie Qinglan squatted on the ground and tapped the floor.

"I don't need it, that thing is not as accurate as my intuition."

Tao Xi sighed in bewilderment.

It turns out that true Taoists don't use those bells and whistles?

"Then do you see anything wrong?"

Xie Qinglan stood up again and looked at the ceiling.

"No."

"Why not?" Tao Xi was a little anxious, "Didn't you say this is a haunted house?"

Xie Qinglan turned her head and smiled at him.

In the interweaving of light and shadow, that smile instantly made Tao Xi feel a little shivering down the spine.

"If I say yes, you will believe it? Why are you so easy to deceive?"
