"Which big brother did this? Is he really talented?"
I walked over and walked around the statue twice, shaking my head as I looked.
Really, I feel that if Duan Tian were here, the old man might be so angry that he would blow his beard and stare.
What a statue of the Patriarch, but the Kunlun gang had made it look evil, and the reason why its eyes looked wrong was entirely because someone had buried some kind of not-so-serious magic in the statue.
I don't know what this spell is called, but its specific function is to confuse and control the mind. To put it simply, everyone who sees the statue will inevitably be affected and fall into a state similar to being hypnotized.
In this state, if there is someone next to you who is trying to trick someone, then that person will listen to the other person's advice. This method will not work for those with some skills, but it will be particularly effective against ordinary people.
I was wondering why Xu Mingyuan put such a thing in the store? To cheat money? But I remember that he didn't seem to be short of money.
Shaking my head again, I walked over to Xu Nuo and blocked her eyes with my hands: "Stop looking. If you look at her for a while, you'll sink in."
"Ah? Ah!"
Xu Nuo suddenly woke up: "What happened? Why did I lose my mind just now?"
"Nonsense, you've been staring at the eyes of this statue for so long. It's weird if you don't lose focus. Stop looking at it."
Not bothering to explain to her, I looked around again.
Then I found Master Yin's altar, which was still the same as before, with two white incense candles, an incense burner, several dried tributes, and two wilted apples placed on it.
There is still a photo of Master Yin hanging on the wall, but this photo can never be moved again.
I couldn't help but sigh and muttered to the photo: "Hey, Master Yin, if you knew better, wouldn't you be so angry when you see your apprentice acting like this?
But this is also your fault. You should just be a lay disciple. Why do you have to contact the gang in Kunlun when you have nothing to do? Kunlun is no longer the Kunlun it used to be. If you do this, it is equivalent to pushing Xu Mingyang into the fire pit. "
"Who are you talking to, Gu Yan."
I overstated my promise with this statement.
She asked me in that trembling voice: "Don't tell me that Master Yin's soul is still in the photo. I tell you that I am timid and cannot bear to be so scared."
"No, Master Yin has lost his mind. I just can't help but say a few words."
Feeling a little sad, I walked up and dusted the dust on Master Yin's tomb with my sleeves, and took down the dried fruits on it.
Then I asked Xu Nuo: "Is there any fruit shop or the like open near this place? If so, go out and buy a few items, and we can exchange some tributes for Master Yin."
"What time is this? It's impossible for anything to be open."
Xu Nuo shook his head a few times: "Besides, didn't you tell me that Master Yin's soul is gone? What's the use of exchanging tributes after his soul is gone? He can't eat it anyway."
One sentence is too much for me.
I clicked my lips a few times, and then I waved my hand: "Okay, don't bother. You can find a towel and let's wipe the mourning hall. Anyway, Master Yin is also a good person. Now his mourning hall is so dirty. I I feel uncomfortable looking at it.”
"Then I have wet wipes in my pocket. You can use this to wipe them."
Xu Nuo came over and took out a wet wipe from his pocket and handed it to me. He also took out one and wiped the table covered with dust.
While wiping, she muttered: "Hey, Gu Yan, the mourning hall is so dirty, does it mean that my uncle hasn't been to the store for a long time?"
"Aren't you talking nonsense?"
"Then what should we do? We can go directly to my uncle's house later?"
"What I'm worried about now is that I won't be able to find him when I go home."
I wiped the table and thought about it: "Hey, Xu Nuo, since the old man's birthday party, how many times have you and your brother-in-law met?"
"Two or three times, I had dinner at my grandfather's house on the weekends, but then I called him on the weekends and he didn't come. Recently, I couldn't contact him at all."
There was a hint of worry in Xu Nuo's tone: "Gu Yan, you just said that Master Yin pushed my uncle into the fire pit. What did that mean? My uncle will be fine."
I said 'hmm': "Yes, but it's just a small matter. Don't worry, as long as I'm here, nothing big will happen to your uncle."
Xu Nuo rolled her eyes at me: "You have to tell me what it is even if it's a small thing, otherwise I won't know what to do."
"It's nothing, it's just that your brother-in-law is a little obsessed. Just get him back as soon as possible and it will be over."
I threw away the dusty paper towel in my hand and waved to Xu Nuo: "Let's go, go to your uncle's house first. If he's not home, we'll think of other solutions."
"good."
Xu Nuo also threw down the wet wipes in her hand, but when she wanted to wipe her hands, I heard the phone vibrate for a while.
It came from Xunuo's shoulder bag. Xunuo took it out and took a look, and then his eyes lit up: "Gu Yan, Gu Yan, my dad sent me a message saying that he woke up and asked us to go back quickly."
"Don't worry, tell your dad to wait a moment and let's go to your uncle's house first and then go back."
Without waiting for Xu Nuo to speak, I directly took her hand and walked out of the store again.
But as soon as we went out and the cold air blew in our faces, I realized that something seemed a little wrong.
The street of Sanbao Temple is actually not a complete Foyuan shop, but a fortune-telling street. It just has commercial services on both sides of the road, and above the commercial services are a bunch of residential buildings.
Normally, it's less than ten o'clock, so people shouldn't go to bed so early, but when I looked up, there wasn't even a light on in the residential buildings on both sides. It was as if there was a power outage, and the street lights on both sides of the road were also turned off.
The whole street was lifeless, even the snow that had been falling stopped, the cold wind in the winter night stopped blowing, and the whole street fell into a deathly silence.
Xu Nuo also realized that something was wrong. She immediately grabbed my arm and said, "What's going on? Gu Yan, this place seems a bit scary. It shouldn't be like this when we came in just now, right?"
"Well, that's not what happened just now. We met a ghost and hit a wall."
I made two "tsk tsk" sounds in my mouth, pointed around and said to Xu Nuo, "Did you see it? This is the real ghost hitting the wall, not the ghost banging his head against the wall. Remember?"
Xu Nuo shouted: "Remember this, hurry up and find a way to defeat this ghost!"
"Don't worry, why are you panicking?"
I squinted my eyes: "What's wrong with such a low-level trick? Wait, I'm going to arrest him right now. Just stand here and watch."
