Talismans

Chapter 42 Talisman

Chen San rolled his eyes in pain and moved his body like a fish on the shore, whimpering as if to say "I'll tell you, I'll tell you". He wanted to lift Li Wuxiang off him, but the severe pain in his chest made him spasm all over, and even his hands and feet almost lost consciousness.

Li Wuxiang let him feel the pain for more than ten breaths before retracting his hand from his wound: "Last chance, tell me!"

Chen San's breathing trembled in pain, and when he looked at Li Wuxiang again, his eyes were full of fear, and he trembled and said: "I...I didn't summon that ghost, but your master did! Really!"

Li Wuxiang turned his eyes and nodded: "Go on, how did you know?"

He believed what Chen San said. Because this made sense for Zhao Qi's mysterious confidence before - he summoned the ghost, so he naturally knew how to deal with it, but an accident happened later.

"I...ah, can you take your hand out first-ah! Ah!"

Li Wuxiang twisted his fingers again: "Brief, clear, the faster you speak, the less suffering you will suffer."

"I, I...one night, I was just about to go to bed, and I heard a noise outside. The roof of my house was leaking...I saw someone jump onto the roof of my house through the cracks, and it seemed that he put something and left-"

"After he left, I went up to the room to see, and I saw, saw..."

Li Wuxiang picked up the talisman paper stuck on the bamboo leaf: "This?"

"Yes, this, I When I went up to the roof, I saw that person going up to Chen Er's roof again. I recognized that person as your master, and then I pulled this out from under the beam of the roof... I thought it was the talisman paper he put on us to ward off evil spirits, so I put it in my pocket thinking it could protect me..."

"When did it happen?"

"Last, last month? I can't remember clearly... when he first came to the town."

According to Zhao Qi's personality, he would not do such a thing as putting talismans to ward off evil spirits on others at night. Even if he did so, he would definitely want everyone to know his contribution. So... he came to Jinshui to find Zhao Kui, so this matter must be directly related to finding Zhao Kui.

"Go on."

"Nothing more... Yesterday, there was a sudden haunting. Ah, I carried this talisman with me for a while. Later, you beat me up. I thought this talisman was useless, so I threw it under the bed. But last night, I suddenly heard something under the bed, so I looked down and saw my grandma crawling out of the talisman - you don't know how scary it was, she squeezed out of the talisman bit by bit..."

"But you dare to keep this talisman with you again?"

"My grandma didn't harm me last night. She went to the jar to eat some rice bran and inhaled some stove fire and left. I figured out that this talisman must be given by your master to us to attract ghosts. He is now eating and drinking for free at the town master's house. Maybe he is still Being looked down upon, he himself is uncomfortable, so he casts spells to attract ghosts and then exorcise them, so that he can make a living! "

"You are smart, well, my master is being bullied by the Chen family now." Li Wuxiang couldn't help but smile, and pulled his fingers out a little, "What else?"

"I told this matter everywhere, letting everyone know that there was a ghost, I thought this was helping him, right? He must want everyone to know, and then you guys will come to catch ghosts, right? Just now I told him, I know that this ghost was attracted by you, I helped you so much, Master, do you think I am smart? Accept me as a disciple! He was not happy, so I said if he didn't accept me, I would tell the town master about this matter, and let the town master know that you are here to cheat for a living..."

Li Wuxiang nodded: "You are brave."

This compliment seemed to restore Chen Sanyao's unscrupulous temperament a little. He looked at Li Wuxiang: "The brave ones will die of overeating while the timid ones will die of starvation! We are all about the same age. Why can you sleep with the beautiful young lady of the Xue family and be Zhao Qi's apprentice, but I can only eat bran? How am I worse than you? Since you spared my life, why don't you help me ask your master? If he can accept me as his apprentice, I will definitely-"

Li Wuxiang slapped his face heavily: "If you don't want to die, don't have this idea again. Do you know why he wants to kill you?"

"Isn't it because I know that he has attracted ghosts..."

"Because you made him look bad." Li Wuxiang pointed to the talisman on the side, which still had There were some dark bloodstains. "My master was going to easily capture the ghost tonight, but you carried this talisman with you. The ghost bit his face, and the blood soaked onto the talisman paper. You must have heard of the Taoist 'biting the tip of his tongue and spitting out a mouthful of blood'-"

"I haven't heard of it..."

"Shut up. The blood of living people is a very magical thing. I guess it's because this talisman was soaked with your blood that the ghost became so difficult to deal with. My master almost died in your house tonight. Do you know what he hates? It's not that you know something, but that you made him embarrassed and threatened him with this scandal. Have you figured it out?"

Chen Sanyao answered a few words before, all of which were a kind of rogue habit of not stinging, and he seemed to be at a loss. Li Wuxiang thought that he would still talk to him about some conditions this time, but he was stunned for a while, and suddenly showed a look of fear on his face, and said softly: "I understand."

The ending tone of this sentence was both weak and short, and it was obvious that he was really scared.

Li Wuxiang thought about it for a while and understood. This scoundrel didn't know how to live or die, and it was indeed difficult to deal with him, but he couldn't help but say "How is he worse than you" in this situation just now, which shows that he is a face-saving and vengeful person. People with this kind of temperament can best understand how much Zhao Qi hated him for what happened just now.

He pulled his hand out of Chen Sanyao's chest, stood up and looked down at him: "If my master sees you in Jinshui again, you will definitely die. The wound on your chest is not fatal now, but if you don't take good care of it, you will still die. Go to Qingjiang City to find a good doctor now, maybe you can still survive, go."

Chen Sanyao looked at him in doubt, and was stunned for a while before slowly getting up, grimacing in pain. He stood up and took a few steps back. Seeing that Li Wuxiang really had no intention of taking action, he hurriedly ran, but after running two or three steps, he covered his chest again in pain, so he had to continue to walk slowly sideways.

Li Wuxiang watched him walk away and suddenly asked, "How old are you this year?"

Chen Sanyao was startled and quickly turned his head back: "... Eighteen?"

"Okay. Let's go."

Chen Sanyao looked at him again and said as he walked, "Wait, I, I also have a clear distinction between gratitude and resentment. When I become successful in the future, I will repay you a favor."

Li Wuxiang said nothing, just watched him walk into the mountains, then picked up the talisman on the bamboo leaf and flew to the town.

The second update will be at 8 o'clock in the morning
