Chapter 657 Summoning
After the Nangong siblings brought their parents back, the first thing they saw was Hao Ren and Lily huddled together, studying something. As an old hunter, Nangong Wudi felt the existence of some uncoordinated magic power on the spot. He looked at the coffee table: "What are you looking at?"
"A magic book," Lily waggled her tail excitedly, "Bat's trumpet sent her a book, in which the bat was drawn like the Monkey King..."
The focus of this Husky is always so unique.
Nangong Sanba huffed and threw himself on the sofa, facing the cold air surrounding the living room and exhaled comfortably: "Shutan... This air-conditioning is much better than that of my sister. I asked her to help freeze popsicles on the way and she still It almost froze me completely..."
"By the way, what did you gain from going out for a walk?" Hao Ren looked at May with a smile, "Have uncles and aunts found a way to support the family?"
That's what he asked, but he didn't expect that Elsa next to him actually nodded: "Well, there is a fried pancake shop on the street that is about to close. The old couple who opened the shop said they were going to the city to join the children. We The couple is planning to take over the store. I have skills, and we can sell breakfast and other things."
Hao Ren was stunned, but he didn't expect Nangong and his wife to be so capable: "I'll go, you guys are making pretty fast progress... But have you adapted to the lifestyle of modern society? Modern money and store opening rules and so on. Understand?"
"There is nothing wrong with the lifestyle," Nangong Wudi smiled slightly, "When my husband and I were in the shelter, what things there were not better than here? Haven't we learned them all? As for the RMB used now and the rules for opening a store, It’s even simpler. Setting up a stall and selling a business is a business that hasn’t changed for thousands of years, so you can learn it very quickly.”
Hao Ren thought about it. Although the two people in front of him were theoretically out of touch with the earth's society for a hundred years, they spent those hundred years in a high-tech alien shelter. They were very comfortable using ultra-modern furniture and appliances. It's certainly not difficult to adapt to modern life on Earth. However, he still mentioned casually: "Actually, if it's for living expenses, you don't have to do this. When you live here, all kinds of expenses can be reimbursed. The Space and Time Administration will bear this."
Elsa shook her head: "We just can't sit still, we always have to do something to feel alive, which is different from you young people..."
Upon hearing this, Lily quickly pointed in the direction of the kitchen and lowered her voice to remind: "Don't talk about this - there is an unemployed man living at home there."
Vivian's voice immediately came from the kitchen: "Big dog, did you say bad things about me?!"
Lily's ears twitched: "Why do bats' ears work better than mine..."
Hao Ren asked Nangong Wudi curiously: "You want to open a store, do you have the capital? I can help."
"No need to worry," Nangong Wudi smiled slightly and took out a heavy cloth bag from his arms, "I have the silver ingots and gold cakes from back then. No matter when, this thing will always be valuable, right? The demon hunter doesn't have it. Short of money.”
When Hao Ren saw this, he quickly waved his hand: "Come on, let me help you. These days, you are more likely to get into trouble when you go out with half a catty of gold to change money."
Nangong Wudi threw the bag of gold and silver to Hao Ren: "Then I'll give this to you. It's useless if I keep it anyway. Don't shirk it. My husband and I still owe you two lives. This is not a bag of gold and silver." It’s clear.”
Since the other party was talking about it, Hao Ren couldn't say anything else. He weighed the heavy bag and thought about it, wondering what it could do, so he threw it into the portable space. Lily, on the other hand, looked at it eagerly for a long time and muttered: "I want to get a piece to grind my teeth..."
Hao Ren glared at her: "If you grind your teeth with gold, you won't be afraid of dying there."
At this time, Nangong Wuyue had begun to curiously study the thin black book on the coffee table. Although she was not a demon hunter, she could still feel the faint magic fluctuations coming from the pages of the book. She flipped through the mysterious illustrations from the Middle Ages and the twists and turns of the Latin letters. There was a blasphemous and unclean flavor in every line of the book. All kinds of cruel and dark magical knowledge made the whole book shrouded in an unpleasant atmosphere. In the atmosphere, she frowned: "What is this thing for? Why do you study this?"
"Oh yes, we are planning to summon bats!" Lily immediately introduced the origin of this book with great interest, "The bats are not willing to blend in, but we can blend in. Tonight is the full moon... Do you want to try it out? ?”
May looked at Lily with a subtle expression: "You... Vivian is right here, what's the use of holding a ritual to summon her? And will this kind of ritual that looks like nonsense work?"
"I think this ritual is well written," Lily scratched her cheek, "and don't you think it's interesting? If it really works, it might be able to pull the bat out of the room...scare her. One jump!"
Everyone immediately didn't know how to evaluate this Husky's thinking.
But no matter what, the special features of this witchcraft book aroused great interest from everyone. A book that records how to summon evil spirits, and this "evil spirit" happens to be an acquaintance of mine. This book must be fresh to everyone. To be honest, considering Vivian's ancient history and her lively energy running around in this world, it is conceivable to find legends and even religious rituals related to her from some ancient books, but it is conceivable that it is a One thing, it's another thing to actually see it with your own eyes - those people who study cavemen all day long, why don't you let them see it for real?
"What are you muttering about?" Vivian came out with the rice pot and saw Hao Ren and the others discussing the magic book at the first sight. She frowned, "Why are you studying that crap? It was written by a group of mentally ill wizards hundreds of years ago to cheat collection. Now it has no use except collection. Stop studying and come to eat quickly - Big Dog, you go and call Lao Wang and Elizabeth back. They're repairing motorcycles behind the house."
The motorcycle Yzaks and Elizabeth were repairing behind the house was Hao Ren's classic motorcycle. Two days ago, Yzaks had a whim and wanted to take his daughter for a ride on a motorcycle. However, due to his unsuitable body shape and unfamiliarity with the structure of the motorcycle, there was a slight problem: when he got on the car, he just lifted his legs and she One-third of the motorcycle frame was kicked out, and his daughter was also kicked away... Although Hao Ren didn't pay much attention to the old motorcycle that made a jingling noise as soon as it hit the road, Yitzhak and his wife Seemingly determined to repair the car, their current result is that the remaining two-thirds of the car have been successfully dismantled. Elizabeth decided to replace it with a magic engine.
Because the original engine was damaged by her father.
Again, the devil's lifestyle is simply thrilling...
The peaceful day passed quickly, the night fell, and the full moon night arrived as promised.
Although Vivian herself seemed not interested in the summoning ritual mentioned in the magic book, under Lily's instigation, the others decided to try it at night.
That night, it was clear and cloudless, with a bright moon hanging high in the sky. A full moon night was a good time to perform those evil rituals that the gods were talking about, and the venue for the test ceremony was chosen behind the house: in the deserted wilderness, there was no fear. Make unusual noises to scare the neighbors.
Lily was as happy as a child preparing to set off fireworks. She was the first to rush to the back of the house to prepare for the ceremony. By the time the others arrived, she had already prepared the summoning circle and various ritual items. The husky girl was happily circling in the open space behind the house. Occasionally she looked up at the full moon in the sky and giggled. Nangong Wudi was a little stunned when he saw this situation: "What's wrong with her?"
"'Pretend you have werewolf syndrome', it's always been like this," Hao Ren smacked his lips and looked back at the back door of the house. Vivian stayed at home and did not come out. In fact, she was still kept in the dark: Lily tricked her into giving "Go away" and take a shower. Considering how noisy that stupid cat was, Vivian probably wouldn't notice anything going on outside for a while.
No one told Vivian about testing the magic book at night. This was of course Lily's idea. The Husky Spirit wanted to use this to block all unpredictable interference factors and test the magic book without Vivian being completely defenseless. Whether the summoning ritual works or not.
"I actually took the initiative to join in the fun," Hao Ren shook his head with some self-deprecation, thinking that the peaceful days in the past few days had really made him as bored as Lily. He opened the magic book again and read it under the moonlight. Looking at the weird illustrations on it, "Tsk, tsk, don't tell me, it just looks like a great sage..."
The moonlight shone on the parchment pages of the magic book, and there was a faint tint of blood in the center of the bright moon.
