"I think, isn't it a bit cold?" Cheng Yihang asked uneasyly.
"Something is coming up." Tang Xi sneered, and took a handful of messy things from his trouser pocket and stuffed him, "Take it."
"What's this?" Cheng Yihang had a black line.
Charms, pendants, beads.
shell? Scales? What and what?
"The defensive magical weapons found on the two fools in the hospital that day." Tang Xi explained, "I have studied them. These are all trigger-type disposable items. Even ordinary people without spiritual power can use them. Come to defend yourself, as long as there are dirty things attacking you, the magic weapon will automatically respond."
Cheng Yihang was busy putting the pile of things in different categories on various parts of his body, and asked casually: "This thing is easy to use? How strong is it?"
"Isn't it that I haven't broken it?" Tang Xi raised her teeth and gritted her teeth.
"..." Cheng Yihang was a little bit dumbfounded.
If you take two battles in the hospital as the standard, this is equivalent to putting a cover on your body to isolate direct damage, but that does not prevent others from using the cover as a punching bag! See that unlucky Zhang Sheng was forced to jump off the building.
"It's better than nothing." Tang Xi seemed to know his thoughts, comforting.
"Okay." Cheng Yihang was helpless.
It's better to take it with you than without it... right.
While they were talking, the originally calm lake surface had become pitch black. Although there was no wind, the water surface had rippled. Then the ripples gradually expanded and turned into waves. They shot towards the lake shore, and the water trails stretched out. It was almost at their feet.
"You step back." Tang Xi waved, then called out, "Su Huang."
The female ghost in red appeared at the center of the lake instantly, her charming face was cold, and her long snake tail was like a whip, struck **** the surface of the lake, dividing the water in two.
Although the lake closed again in an instant, Tang Xi could still see the dense black water plants swaying strangely below.
"Hey, can you give me a yin and yang eye first?" Cheng Yihang widened his eyes and shouted as he looked at the inexplicably churning lake.
"You are not afraid of having nightmares at night when you see this kind of thing?" Tang Xi asked in surprise.
"It's more terrifying if you can't see it just by imagination?" Cheng Yihang was speechless, "And I can see it. If he comes at me, I can hide, I won't stand as a target stupidly!"
"Yes." Tang Xi thought about it, felt that he was right, nodded happily, and opened his eyes smoothly.
"!!!" Cheng Yihang stared at Su Huang dumbfounded.
Is this also a ghost? How do you look like a monster!
Su Huang's tail protruded from the bottom of the big red skirt, plunged into the water suddenly, and stirred vigorously.
"Is it silly to see Miss Sister?" Tang Xi smiled and patted his stiff shoulder.
Cheng Yihang glanced at her as if hypnotized and said, "The lake is like a cup of coffee."
Tang Xi was taken aback, and looked at the dark lake water. Well, it really looked a bit like coffee, so Su Huang who stirred the "coffee" was the spoon?
"Puff—" She couldn't help laughing.
In the lake water, obviously the water ghost below could not withstand the dizziness of turning over the river and the sea, and suddenly sprang out of the water, with long black hair sticking up like pointed needles, and it was necessary to poke Su Huang. Riddled with holes.
"Ugly monsters!" Su Huang sneered, the nails of both hands popped out, flashing sharp cold light, one claw fell down, and black hair fell all over the sky.
Of course, those hairs were originally transformed by the water ghost's resentment, and disappeared in mid-air as a ray of black air.
The water ghost uttered a sharp roar, and the severed hair quickly regenerated, and then rushed to fight with Su Huang.
"This is the water ghost?" Cheng Yihang rubbed the goose bumps on his arm.
Earlier, I caught a glimpse of Yunqi's beauty in the prosperous age. Although Su Huang has a tail, he is also a great beauty in terms of face and upper body, with a human head and a snake body... Isn't Nu Wa also looking like this? He thought ghosts were similar to humans.
"What do you think ghosts are like? Nie Xiaoqian?" Tang Xi twitched her mouth.
Cheng Yihang wanted to cry without tears. It seems that I really have to worry about whether I will have nightmares at night.
The battle on the lake quickly came to an end. Su Huang's trick of disturbing the lake's water was a bit shabby--but it's not so easy for a person or a ghost to use a lake as a cup of coffee to stir, isn't it? Once the water ghost leaves the water, its combat effectiveness will drop a lot.
Regardless of Tang Xi or Su Huang, they never thought of going into the water and fighting against the water ghosts. It was not enough to find death.
The water ghost was caught by Su Huang's tail, and while struggling, he screamed inexplicably, as if he had no intelligence.
Su Huang was merciless, tearing off the water ghost piece by piece with his claws. If the ghost had no flesh and blood, this scene would be horrible.
"Is it so easy to solve?" Cheng Yihang was a little surprised.
I thought I was just coming over to take a look at the terrain first, but I didn't expect it to be done directly? Is Tang Xi too strong or the water ghost is too weak.
"No, our trouble is big." Tang Xi sighed as she watched the water ghost's screaming weaker and weaker.
"What do you mean?" Cheng Yihang was puzzled.
"Originally, I thought there was only a water ghost here." Tang Xi said slowly, "In Xia Shuang's situation, generally speaking, the water ghost died unjustly and the grievances persisted, looking for a living person to replace the dead ghost."
"Don't... isn't it?" Cheng Yihang hesitated.
"This water ghost is just a ghost." Tang Xi said.
"A ghost?" Cheng Yihang's thoughts turned quickly, after a little pondering, he confirmed, "Is that the ghost who'serves as a tiger'?"
"You know this allusion is easy to handle." Tang Xi said happily, "It's like a person who was eaten by a tiger turns into a ghost to help the tiger find food. There are other things in the lake, which caused it to fall into the water and die. The wronged soul is imprisoned and becomes his own ghost, looking for a new soul for it."
"Something else? Better than the water ghost?" Cheng Yihang felt a little hairy in his heart.
"It's not only terrible, but the most troublesome thing is that this thing is probably a few years old." Tang Xi groaned and said, "You ask the employee who discovered the valley, did he see anything when he broke the creeper vine and came in? Something special?"
"You suspect that this valley is so secretive. Someone sealed something here?" Cheng Yihang understood. "But Qingxi Gorge is also a famous scenic spot. Even if it is hidden, it is easy to be discovered, right?"
"Now that the city is expanding, apart from the Amazon, where are the few places in the Daxing'an Mountains that are truly inaccessible deep mountains and old forests?" Tang Xi looked at him in surprise, "but hundreds or even thousands of years ago, this valley was absolutely the only one. How about the secret place where monkeys come?"
"So you want to say that the things in this lake have been sealed for hundreds or even thousands of years, and then our employees accidentally broke the seal and released it?" Cheng Yihang helped.
"Go and ask first." Tang Xi ordered.
"Oh." Cheng Yihang took out his mobile phone and made a call. He hung up after saying a few words, but his face was ugly.
"What's the matter?" Tang Xi asked.
"People are dead." Cheng Yihang said with a sullen face, "The drowned person was in his own bathtub. He said he was too tired and fell asleep and accidentally drowned himself. Now his wife is making trouble in the company, saying that it was our forced request. It was the employees working overtime that caused his husband to overwork and die."
"How long ago?" Tang Xi said immediately.
"Two months ago." Cheng Yihang took a breath and calmed down before continuing, "Because it was an accidental death, the company didn't take it seriously, but just paid a pension as usual. His wife thought that the money was too small and made trouble every day. But if you drowned in your own bathtub, the company couldn’t be compensated for work-related injuries, so it’s been ignored.”
"Two months ago." Tang Xi settled and sneered. "Two months ago, it was the employee who released the thing. A month ago it was a female tourist who committed suicide by jumping in a lake. This month, it is Xia Shuang's turn. Eat one a month. , It's not greedy!"
"It's weird for you to talk like this." Cheng Yihang muttered.
Eat or not... Uh, that's a human!
"Then, can you clean it up?" He asked again with some anxiety.
"I can't do it, I have to make a call." Tang Xi moved a little further away from the lakeshore and dialed a number.
Cheng Yihang glanced at it. It was Mr. Xia's personal mobile phone.
The bell rang for the second time, and it was immediately connected: "Miss Tang?"
"Mr. Xia, this is the case. I have to inform you in advance to prepare for something." Tang Xi smiled.
"What's the matter?" Mr. Xia's heart suddenly picked up, and he said anxiously, "Is something wrong with Xiao Shuang? Miss Tang, no matter what, as long as you can help Xiao Shuang, how much money is not a problem! , Xiao Shuang, she started to react to water from the day before yesterday!"
Tang Xi waited patiently for him to finish, then calmed down: "President Xia, don't worry, since I agreed, I won't sit on the floor and raise the price. Cheng Yihang and I are now in Qingxi Gorge to solve the problem."
President Xia was stunned. Perhaps the girl’s gentle voice with a brisk smile calmed down his anxiety. Then, as soon as he concentrated on his thoughts, he heard the huge sound of water coming from the other end of the microphone, as if there was Something is fighting in the water. His face turned pale, but still calmly said: "What does Miss Tang want me to prepare?"
"Mr Xia really has a very good psychological quality." Tang Xi praised, then said sternly, "Mr Xia, at 12 o'clock tonight, I want to clean up things in Qingxi Gorge because of its resentment On your body, if it is not reconciled at that time, Xia Shuang will have a strong reaction. You must pay attention to her, don't let her run to commit suicide. Lock the door, and don't leave any traces of water, just to be on the safe side It’s better to tie her up and watch her. It won’t be long. You just have to watch Xia Shuang be quiet, and it’s over on my side."
"Okay, I see, please Miss Tang for everything." President Xia thought about it for a while and solemnly said.
"Well, don't be nervous, soon." Tang Xi hung up the phone.
On the other side, Mrs. Xia put down his mobile phone and hugged Xia Shuang's Mrs. Xia and asked quickly: "How is it? What did Master Tang say?"
President Xia looked at his nervous-looking wife and daughter, sighed, and then said Tang Xi's instructions again.
Mrs. Xia chanted Amitabha, and finally there was a hint of joy on her face: "So, can Xiao Shuang be well tonight?"
"It should be." President Xia nodded.
"It's great!" Mrs. Xia almost burst into tears.
She has only one daughter in her life, and she hasn't closed her eyes in the past few days, for fear that an accidental daughter will be gone. If this continues, even if Xia Shuang is fine, I am afraid that Mrs. Xia will have to go to the hospital.
As proud as Xia Shuang, she didn’t dare to speak anymore. Ever since Tang Xi came to the hospital and got those disgusting things out of her, she really hadn’t had another accident until it started to deteriorate again in the past two days. Even people who don't believe in gods and ghosts should believe in it.
Mr. Xia has pushed everything about the company these days, staying at home all the time, he doesn't even care about his appearance, and his beard is scumbag, completely unlike the stern and vigorous strongman in the mall.
After his family digested the news, he said, "Xiao Shuang will move to the guest room tonight."
"Why?" Xia Shuang was taken aback.
"Because there is no toilet inside the guest room." Mr. Xia replied.
"Is it necessary to be so exaggerated?" Mrs. Xia said in a daze, "If we look at Xiao Shuang, can we still let her run to the bathroom to fill the water?"
"It's necessary." President Xia nodded heavily, "In Xiao Shuang's situation, there must be someone guarding him day and night, but Miss Tang knows this, but she still calls this phone and asks, presumably the situation at 12 o'clock tonight will be better than ours. Imagine much more serious."
"Then I'll go and clean up." Mrs. Xia stood up and said.
"Not only the guest rooms." Xia always thought about it and said again, "ask someone to turn off the main water valve, drain the water in the swimming pool, and check the entire villa. Throw out all liquids, including unopened beverages. "
Mrs. Xia obviously didn't think so thoroughly, and only reacted after a daze.
"Dad, will it really be okay?" Xia Shuang asked anxiously.
"Nothing will happen," Mr. Xia said in a deep voice, "But... after tonight, if you can pass this level, remember to draw a clear line with Tang Jing in the future, and don't do anymore. Dad will apply for you to change to. Go to the second shift."
"Why?" Xia Shuang was dumbfounded.
She didn't care about the first class and the second class. Her grades were very tiring to keep up with the first class. She would not count down every time she went to the second class, but...
"Dad, you obviously let me and Jingjing have a good relationship, saying that this can help you." Xia Shuang was puzzled.
"A plan is worse than a change." Mr. Xia was motionless. "If you make a good relationship with the Tang family, you will certainly offend Tang Xi. It's not worth it."
"Can she and she alone compare with the Tang family?" Xia Shuang couldn't believe it.
"Yes!" Mr. Xia replied categorically, "If she succeeds tonight, she has this value. Xiao Shuang, never offend a real celestial master, you will not even know how to die."
"Tang Xi, she is also a relative of the Tang family..." Xia Shuang said.
"Relatives?" Mr. Xia raised her eyebrows and sneered, "Tang Zhenying is playing people like fools. Tang Jing didn't tell you that she and Tang Xi are twins? One was lost in the fire that year."
"Really?" Xia Shuang suddenly widened his eyes, "What's so bad about that? If she hadn't been misleading me that Tang Xi was just her poor relative, how could I provoke Tang Xi!"
"Twins? Whose family has lost a child for more than ten years and hasn't looked for it!" Xia always looked at her daughter's eyes full of hatred for iron and steel.
"No? If it's not..." Xia Shuang was just straitened, but not really stupid. He was reminded to this point. In any case, he couldn't guess it, and he was furious. Actually there is a face high above us, and a group of real celebrities surround her. How can she have such a big face!"
As for whether Tang Jing knew...If she didn't know, why would she mislead others about Tang Xi's identity? The twin sisters who have been apart for 16 years are back, shouldn't they be happy!
She is afraid that her identity will be robbed, and she is also afraid that Han Zhen will be robbed!
Thinking of this, she couldn't help asking again: "The marriage contract between Tang Jing and Han Zhen..."
"Because that is something that Tang Xi doesn't want." Mr. Xia hit the nail on the head and paused and said, "You don't have to tear your face with Tang Jing, just stay away. The Tang family has a hole in their brains, and they have such a good life. My daughter is holding a fake **** if she doesn't want it. Sooner or later, she will regret it."
"Then our family and the Tang family..." Xia Shuang said.
"Not in a hurry." President Xia was clearly confident, "Without the Tang family, it would not be bad if you could catch up with the Cheng family and Shi family or even the Pei family. The Tang family has been thriving in recent years, and it is indeed too eye-catching. blessing."
"Pei's family?" Xia Shuang was full of question marks. What does this have to do with the Pei family?
President Xia didn't speak any more, just... Tang Xi clashed with people at the door of Pei Qing's ward, and Pei Qingzhi, who was diagnosed as a vegetable, woke up miraculously. This has nothing to do with Tang Xi, and ghosts don't believe it.
At Qingxi Gorge, Tang Xi thought for a while before raising her head and saying: "Su Huang, don't tear it too much, it will be troublesome to put it together."
"Oh." Su Huang faintly replied, and flew over the little body of the water ghost with his tail, and threw it at Tang Xi's feet with a "pop", and then his whole body moved to Cheng Yihang's side: "Yo, the little brother can see me? Isn't my sister handsome just now? Are you fascinated?"
Cheng Yihang's face turned pale and his body was stiff.
"Su Huang, he is too young to suit you." Tang Xi was busy putting the torn water ghosts back together, without looking back.
"I just teased him." Su Huang "chuckled" with a sweet smile, twisted, and disappeared.
Cheng Yihang let out a long sigh of relief, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and then found that the clothes behind him were also soaked in cold sweat.
"Cheng Yihang, come and see if you know you." Tang Xi shouted.
Cheng Yihang walked over and took a look, only to see that the water ghost faded from his body and revealed his appearance as a human. Although he was a bit hideous because of the swelling, he could still be seen as a handsome young man before he was born.
"It was the employee who drowned in the bathtub." He confirmed.
"Very good." Tang Xi nodded in satisfaction.
"How to deal with this?" Cheng Yihang asked.
"His three souls and seven souls have been swallowed up by the things in the lake. He has no consciousness of his own for a long time. He will only kill people according to the order and can only disperse him." Tang Xi sighed.
Even if the ghost gate is not closed, he can still be sent to reincarnation, because his soul is not complete, he will only be a fool for life after reincarnation.
"By the way, what about the woman who jumped into the lake last month to commit suicide and couldn't find the corpse? Is there a ghost here?" Cheng Yihang asked suddenly.
"By analogy, you are really talented, do you want to learn from me?" Tang Xi raised an eyebrow.
"Come on, I can't see it again, can I still ask you to help me open the yin and yang eyes every time?" Cheng Yihang rolled his eyes.
"That's right, it's a pity." Tang Xi is a little regretful. The good seedlings of Xuanmen are really hard to find. Even if they meet one occasionally, they may not be willing to learn this. Maybe they will meet a liar and change hands. 110.
"You haven't answered yet, is there another female water ghost here?" Cheng Yihang looked around.
"Don't worry, no more." Tang Xi smiled, "The doppelganger is not so easy to train. I'm afraid it has made the woman his own doppelganger, attached to Xia Shuang's body, and the corpse is buckled. Under the lake. As long as you clean it up and find the corpse, that strand of body|body will naturally be scattered."
Cheng Yihang was silent.
"Life and death have their own determinants, and cannot be forced." Tang Xi was more calm, "The heavenly master not only looked down on the life and death of the living, but also looked down on the ghosts that dissipated because of obsession.
Cheng Yihang wanted to ask if she would be sad if the people or ghosts around her disappeared, but he hesitated and swallowed the words back.
No answer is wrong and there is no solution. Why ask?
Tang Xi drew a spell on the water ghost and patted it down. The dispelled grievances were gathered again in her hands, squeezed and squeezed, and finally squeezed into a...well, donut.
"Sister Su Huang, have a snack." Tang Xi smiled.
Su Huang appeared, holding a "doughnut" with an expression of constipation on his face. Donuts, isn’t this something little girls like to eat? Regardless of her age, she belongs to her grandma!
Cheng Yihang just wanted to say, what kind of doughnuts, Tang Xi, who has a bad taste, gave Yun Qi an ice cream.
"Okay, let's go." Tang Xi got up, "Come back tonight."
Cheng Yihang looked at the calm lake that had been restored to emerald green, followed her out, and asked strangely, "Why wait for the night? Don’t you mean that demons and monsters are afraid of the sun? Why is it not noon, but wait until midnight. When you were older?"
"Even you know this kind of thing, can it not know it?" Tang Xi asked, "If you were it, would you run out at noon when it was the worst for you?"
Cheng Yihang was shocked and shook his head.
"That's not it." Tang Xi shrugged, "I definitely don't want to go into the water, and it refuses to go ashore--even if it wants to fish, it must be given enough bait. Only midnight is the most favorable time for it. Only then will you be relieved to get out of deep water."
"You are playing with fire." Cheng Yihang figured it out, and took a breath.
"Quick fight, I'm very busy." Tang Xi replied.
"There is another question..." Cheng Yihangdao.
"You want to ask, why did no one die in the last few months?" Tang Xi replied, knowingly, and then replied, "After being sealed for so long, that thing will fall asleep, and it will take time to wake up. If it was then Was awake, the employee who found the valley just couldn't go back."
It's just that, although it was a little late, it didn't escape the catastrophe in the end.
Cheng Yihang understood her unfinished words and sighed softly.
Back to the cabin, Shi Rui and Qi Sihui had already raised the bonfire, and there were two barbecue grills next to them. The small table was filled with skewers and various colors made with bamboo skewers.
"Wow! I want to eat grilled corn, grilled mushrooms, grilled lamb!" Tang Xi rushed over with his eyes beaming.
"They have all." Qi Sihui took a small brush and brushed the sauce on the skewers, and asked casually, "Xixi, do you eat spicy food?"
"Eat! I will eat everything that is delicious!" Tang Xi squatted by the fire obediently, like a cat waiting to be fed.
"You two fell into a pit while looking at the scenery? You went there for two hours!" Shi Rui complained.
"Anyway, those who have lost the cards work, do you care about us?" Cheng Yihang sneered.
Shi Rui was depressed.
Cheating! Maybe it was the two of them cheating together!
Tang Xi looked at him with sympathy. Playing cards with a celestial master...The method of asking the ghost to look at the cards is too outdated. Even if she fails the fortune-telling subject, the trivial matter of asking for cards will not go wrong. While Cheng Yihang is thoughtful and can count cards, Qi Sihui has a very good memory, and only Shi Rui is so big that he is playing by luck. He doesn't lose and who loses.
Cheng Yihang smiled, rolled up his sleeves and went to help.
It is said that Shi Rui and Qi Sihui are responsible for everyone's barbecue, but barbecue is not a little interesting if you don't do it yourself.
Tang Xi took two skewers of roast lamb to relieve her gluttony, and also began to cook her own seasoning.
Because my young master brought friends to play, the staff at Qingxi Gorge worked hard to please. The variety of ingredients is rich, the vegetables are fresh, the meat is tender and juicy, and the fish, shrimps and shellfish are all shipped by air early in the morning.
Tang Xi had a skewer of grilled mushrooms on his left hand and a skewer of grilled prawns on his right.
On the other side, Shi Rui was staring deeply at a string of unidentified coke-like objects in his hands with bitter grudges.
Can you eat it? Can?
While talking and laughing, the sky gradually darkened.
Suddenly, Tang Xi looked up at the sky thoughtfully.
Half of the sky is cloudless, and there is still the golden gold of the setting sun, while the other side does not know when a lot of clouds have gathered.
"Looking at this situation, it will rain in Jiangnan city tonight?" Shi Rui also looked up.
"I hope it won't be affected here." Qi Sihui was a little worried.
"Don't worry, nothing will happen." Tang Xi was calm. "This kind of intermittent rainstorm comes and goes fast. It is only concentrated in a small area. It won't rain here."
"Yes, but the summer is over, it's rare to have this kind of torrential rain." Qi Sihui said.
"Follow him, it won't be dead if it rains." Shi Rui said impatiently, "After a voyage, what shall we play at night after eating?"
Tang Xi and Cheng Yihang looked at each other, and they both understood the meaning in each other's eyes.
No, if this is not done properly, it will really kill you!
