But looking at Xu Mingyang in front of me, I always had the illusion that the person talking to me was not him at all, but that the old man was possessing him.
Even for the sake of his promise, Xu Mingyang wouldn't yell at me to kill me, would he?
Seeing that Xu Mingyang didn't speak for a long time, I decided to take the initiative into my own hands and asked him: "Uncle, can you tell me the origin of this thing?"
He then glanced at me and told me in a disgusted tone that this thing had no name. It was more like a kind of witchcraft, a magic weapon used by wizards in the south.
Witches are masters at playing with souls, and their magic weapons are very weird. For example, the function of this puppet is to replace others. Whatever happens to the puppet will be fulfilled on that person. This is the same as casting a curse.
As for the thing in front of me, since it already has my essence and blood in its body, I have become its master, and I am connected with its destiny. When necessary, the puppet can help me resist a disaster.
, you can also write other people's names on it, and then burn it with fire.
In this way, the ghosts and gods behind the puppet will try their best to find that person, kill him, and then transfer all his luck and lifespan to me. In short, it will benefit oneself at the expense of others.
What he said made me even more confused. Could it be that the man named Hu was a wizard? But Mr. Yin was obviously a Taoist priest, so how could they be related?
And the effect of this thing is so amazing, not only life span, but also luck can be borrowed from it.
But such a magical thing must be very precious. Why would someone named Hu give it to me so easily?
But at this time, I suddenly came to my senses and asked Xu Mingyang excitedly: "If you say so, I'll just write He Weimin's name on fire and burn it. If He Weimin dies, won't his life be mine?"
Xu Mingyang sneered directly: "It's a good idea. The prerequisite for extending your life is to know the person's birth date and write it along with the person's name. You also have to find a way to get three hairs of the person and wrap them around the puppet.
on his wrist so that ghosts and gods can follow his breath and find him.
Not to mention that knowledgeable people will be vigilant and will not reveal their birthdays and horoscopes easily. Just talking about those three hairs, are you able to get them?"
After he said this, I immediately fainted.
I was also a little confused because the person named Hu never told me about my horoscope or hair!
So what is he trying to do? Is he simply trying to give me something that can ward off disaster?
While I was thinking about it, I heard Xu Mingyang say: "The reason why they deserve to die is because ghosts and gods are the gods worshiped by witches, and human souls are the food of ghosts and gods. To refine this thing, at least twenty or thirty souls are needed as sacrifices."
, otherwise how could they be willing to help you?
So Gu Yan, you must tell me who gave you this thing and what you did for him before he will give it to you.
And let me warn you, for these damn things, people on the road would rather kill three thousand by mistake than let one go, so even if I don't do it, if others find out that you are related to those people, they will definitely
It will kill you!"
When he said this, Xu Mingyang's face turned cold again.
I instantly had the urge to cry, and with a grimace I told him, "Uncle, I really don't know. I met this man in Mount Tai. He asked me to go to the mountain to help him find a stone. After I found it,
I gave it to him, and he gave it to me as a reward. As for his identity, it was impossible for him to tell me!
In fact, my words were almost unadulterated, and I was really helpless. Who would have thought that this puppet would cause trouble? I had no intention of using it anyway. If I had known better, I should have thrown it away.
Maybe it was my desperate expression that convinced Xu Mingyang. His expression softened a little, and he put the sword aside and asked me again: "What is that stone he asked you to find?"
I hesitated for a moment, and then told Xu Mingyang in that wizened tone that I didn’t know either. He gave me a compass. I followed the compass and found that it was just an ordinary stone. I didn’t find anything special about it.
, I picked it up and sent it back to him. If you ask me, I also want to ask you what he meant by asking for that stone!
After saying this, I still felt a little unsure, because Mr. Yin had specifically told me not to tell others about Shanyin City, so I made up a lie, not knowing whether Xu Mingyang could find out.
But before he could react, he heard Xu Nuo shouting from outside: "Stop nagging and come out to eat!"
I was shocked, and so was Xu Mingyang. I saw the expression on his face suddenly change, and a line of white smoke seemed to float out from his head.
It suddenly dawned on me that the old man who had just spoken to me was really the old man.
Then Xu Mingyang regained his calm expression and asked Xu Nuo: "Why are you back so soon?"
Xu Nuo opened the curtain and said that she didn't like to go to Li's Steamed Bun Shop because it was too far away. There happened to be a new mutton soup restaurant nearby, so she went to buy some from that restaurant and thought about letting us try it.
OK or not.
The tone of her words was very normal, but I don't know if it was an illusion, but I always felt that something was wrong with the way she looked at me.
But I didn’t have time to think too much, because Xu Mingyang had already patted me on the shoulder from behind and said, let’s go, go out to eat first, and we’ll talk about anything after dinner.
I hummed and followed him out. Before turning around, I looked back and found that the photo had turned into black and white again, and the old man's appearance had also lost its vitality. It was obvious that it was no longer there.
Actually, I wonder what is going on with the old man.
It is said that I can see ghosts, but this ability is like a joke to the old man. Just like the day I first came to the store, unless he took the initiative to show up and let me see him, I couldn't catch him at all.
Moreover, I was still very unsure. I didn’t know whether the old man believed what I just said, or whether he would help me.
So when I was drinking the mutton soup, I was a little uneasy. My eyes kept sneaking towards Xu Mingyang, but he didn't seem to notice. He didn't even raise his head and just sipped it slowly in small sips.
After finishing the meal, Xu Nuo asked him: "Uncle, do you two have anything else to say? If there's nothing else, I'll take Gu Yan and leave first."
I turned my head to see Xu Mingyang's reaction, but I saw him holding the puppet in his hand.
"Just put this thing here with me first, and I'll keep it for you."
He shook the puppet in his hand twice, put it in his pocket, looked at me and said, "Don't turn off your phone tomorrow night. I will contact you at any time."
