Because Bai Yulang still has things to do with Chen Xi, I've been running around on both ends these past two days and it made me extremely tired.
By the time I finished painting the statue in the evening, it was past twelve in the morning.
Zhang Tiangang said that as long as it was past 12 in the morning, even if it was the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar, the Sagamore would let the ghost door open and leave.
So in the evening, we brought Chen Xi out from the hotel and brought him to the inside of the shop.
We made Chen Xi sit cross-legged in front of the statue of the Ten Yama Kings that was wrapped in red cloth s, accompanying her at the side.
"Remember, even if you want to die from sleepiness, you can't close your eyes tonight. If you fall asleep, we can't stop Sagamore from doing something in your dreams."
Chen Xi kept that thought in mind as he fearfully nodded his head.
It was my first time doing such a huge project, so naturally, I didn't dare to slight them. Therefore, I found a large incense burner and lit it for the Ten Yama Kings.
"With the blessing of a deity, I will spend the night in peace. If I need to reveal my saintliness, I will have to ask for the blessing of a deity."
I sat cross-legged under the statue with the two of them after we had respectfully offered incense.
However, half an hour passed after 12 o'clock. It seemed as if nothing strange had happened.
I was a little doubtful, could it be that Sagamore did not intend to take Chen Xi by surprise?
Zhang Tiangang also scratched his head, to be honest, it was strange, he even touched his stomach and said:
"We might have to wait until the second half of the night. Why don't we go out and eat something first?"
I glanced at him snappily. It was already a crucial moment, yet I still dared to be unruly here.
While we were talking, the lights in the shop suddenly went black as if they were short-circuiting, and then turned on again.
Chen Xi gave a long yawn, narrowed his eyes and said:
"Brother Zhang, Brother Qin, I'm so sleepy."
I jumped in fright and said:
"That can't be. It's only 12 o'clock, so you have to persevere. After the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar, you can sleep whatever you want."
"But I'm really tired." Chen Xi yawned again, then involuntarily closed his eyes.
If she did fall asleep, the two of us wouldn't be able to save her.
"I can't sleep!"
Gritting my teeth, I raised my palm and hit her face with it.
"Oh, it hurts."
Chen Xi woke up from his stupor and rubbed his face as he asked why we hit her.
I said that it was all because you wanted to sleep, but hearing this, Chen Xi felt a little innocent. She said that she did not want to sleep and had her eyes opened all this time.
However, for some reason, she suddenly felt like her eyes were about to close as if there were two big stones under her eyelids.
If a person is trapped, it would be just like this. I told her to be more energetic. This is a life and death situation, she can't be neglected right now.
Chen Xi nodded his head, but before long, he couldn't help but close his eyes once again.
This time, I finally broke down completely. Is this girl not going to listen to my advice or what's going on?
I told Zhang Tiangang to bring a bucket of water over, and all of his brain was poured onto Chen Xi's body.
The water in the wintertime was ice-cold, making it impossible for a person to not wake up even if they wanted to. However, Chen Xi seemed to not feel a thing, and did not even speak.
Seeing this situation, I immediately felt that something was amiss.
If he was someone who was sleepy, he would wake up even if he didn't wake up when a bucket of water was poured over him. Chen Xi didn't look like herself. When she fell asleep, she looked more like someone who had been bewitched and fell asleep.
When I thought of this, I muttered, Not good.
The Sagamore came here a long time ago, it's just that he is a ghosts, we can't see him, so in the dark, he has already slept with Chen Xi.
"Hurry up and think of a way to deal with her, otherwise something might happen."
I shouted to Zhang Tiangang, and then took out the bovine tears from my pocket to use for breaking the barrier, rubbing his fingers together and dripping them into his eyes.
In that moment, I felt a scorching sensation as I forcefully opened my eyes and looked towards Chen Xi's direction.
All of a sudden, he saw a ghosts wearing a blue and green flowery attire lying on Chen Xi's body, with a wretched expression on its face as it touched Chen Xi's chest.
This should be the legendary Sagamore.
That person suddenly noticed that I was looking at him. He raised his head to look at me and I saw that his face had the same facial features as the clowns in the Beijing opera. His facial features were truly vulgar and ugly.
Seeing that, I shouted: "Let go of that girl, such a bold Sagamore."
"Aiyo, this is my wife. I'll do whatever I want. Go and stay wherever it's cool."
Sagamore didn't care about what I said at all. With just a wave of my sleeve, I couldn't help but close my eyes. When I opened my eyes again, I had already used up all of the effect on bovine tears.
Zhang Tiangang slapped Chen Xi a few times, and even stuck close to her ear as he shouted.
But Chen Xi still did not react at all, and only let out waves after waves of sound of him sleeping soundly.
Seeing that this didn't work, I clenched my teeth and took out the carving knife from my pocket.
"Don't blame me for being merciless."
After I finished speaking, I used the blade handle of the Engraved Mud Blade and pushed it towards Chen Xi's group. The sounds of bones cracking could faintly be heard.
This time, Chen Xi immediately cried out in pain with his mouth wide open.
The big eyes were wide open, and the whole group was covered with red bruises. The situation had been so urgent that I didn't know how much force I had used.
But seeing Chen Xi's miserable cries, it should be very painful.
Chen Xi just lay there for a while, then looked at me with a panicked expression and said:
"Just now, I saw that Sagamore again in my dreams. She was just about to do that to me, but fortunately, she suddenly woke up."
I nodded calmly and told her that I had just seen it too.
Chen Xi's face appeared to be extremely flustered and helpless.
All of a sudden, the lights in the store started to flicker, and a wave of creepy laughter passed through the ears of the few of us.
"Hmph hmph, you've ruined my plans. Just which path are you guys on?"
The voice was sharp and thin, sounding very much like the nagging of the clown in Beijing Opera. When Zhang Tiangang heard it, he immediately frowned and said:
"It's the voice of the Sagamore. Seems like we just saved Chen Xi and did not let this lecher succeed. This thing wants to take revenge on us."
There are those who go through the motions of etiquette first, and then go through the motions of eating yin and yang lines. They are afraid of offending things like wandering souls that even I don't want to offend in Sagamore.
Therefore, I didn't immediately pull away the red cloth that was covering Ten Yama Kings. Instead, I cupped my hands together and said to the air:
"Ghost Seventh Young Noble, you are a ghost from the underworld, she is from the mortal realm, how can a ghost like her do things together? Please be magnanimous."
