I counted carefully, and there were four doors, which meant that the person coming was definitely not a human being, but...
"Go and open the door." Master said softly.
I calmed down and walked to the door. As soon as I put my hand on the door, I felt a biting chill. I subconsciously retracted my hand, surprised in my heart!
With such a strong Yin Qi, could it be...
With a "creak" sound, I slowly opened the door, and a dark wind immediately blew in!
I trembled all over and looked out at the dark street. I was stunned when I saw the door. The door was densely packed with "people". There were dozens of them.
"ghost?!"
These ghosts all had livid faces and dull expressions. They all seemed to be ghosts who had just died. Their somewhat muddy eyes looked through me into the room of the Hall of Souls. I thought, could these ghosts be Masters?
Did you do it just now?
The master walked to the door, glanced at the ghosts in the yard, threw a large handful of paper money out, and whispered:
"Everyone, you only have one hour, so hurry up..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the ghosts gathered in the yard turned their heads and drifted out of the door one after another as if they had received an order, until the last one was gone. After a long time, the remaining Yin Qi in the yard gradually dissipated, and the temperature also dropped.
Back to normal.
I closed the door and chased Master and asked impatiently:
"Your skill is really amazing. How did you do it? You attracted so many ghosts at once, and you almost caught up with the Night Parade of Hundred Ghosts in Que Qingshan."
"It's different. Those in Que Qingshan are all resentful ghosts, and the ghosts I've attracted are ordinary ghosts with no morals. The two are far apart. In fact... it's not a recruitment, it's a borrowing!"
"Borrow? What do you mean?" I looked at Master confused.
Master waved his fan and walked to the basin of water on the ground.
"Do you know who the person who appeared in the water just now is?"
I shook my head.
"I understand ghosts and gods, so I won't go into details as a teacher, but do you think about who would have so many ghosts to control?"
I was stunned for a moment, rolled my eyes and thought for a while, then I slapped my forehead and lost my voice:
"Could it be..."
"Why!"
The master waved his hand,
"As long as you know it in your heart, you don't have to say it out loud. So I borrowed these ghosts. I just want to use them to find out the whereabouts of Mrs. Huang Santai. They will be back before the incense candles are burned out, and there should be someone by then.
The news is here, please wait patiently.”
"You still have this ability? Why didn't you teach me earlier?"
Master rolled his eyes at me,
"I wonder which little brat looked disgusted just now, why has he suddenly changed now?"
I smiled sheepishly.
"Besides, this is not a commonly used method. It should never be used unless it is absolutely necessary. I am forced to do this as a teacher. Do you know how much of a favor you owe? Do you think a few incense candles cost just a piece of paper?
Just settle it?"
I nodded suddenly. It was indeed the case. These ghosts were originally going to return to the underworld, but they were temporarily borrowed from the upper world. The one below must also be facing huge risks. It is indeed a huge favor.
I couldn't help but admire Master's clever methods again.
The master stopped talking and lay on the bed with his legs crossed and his eyes closed to relax. After a while, he started snoring heavily.
I stared at the six incense candles on the ground without relaxing for a moment, and I kept recalling in my mind the way Master did it before.
The old coffin street is very quiet late at night. On weekdays, you can still hear the barking of some wild cats and dogs, but there was no movement tonight.
Just when the incense candle was about to burn out, I suddenly felt that the temperature in the room had dropped a lot.
"Back?"
As soon as I muttered, the door was knocked again. I quickly stood up and walked over to open the door. Sure enough, all the ghosts were back. They gathered at the door again like wooden piles and looked towards the house.
inside.
At this time, the master also woke up. He walked slowly to the door. I thought he would directly ask if these ghosts had been found. In the end, the master didn't say a word, and just burned a wooden pen and blank papyrus...
A few seconds later, a magical scene appeared.
I saw the leading ghost slowly raising his hand, and inexplicably appeared in his hand the wooden pen and straw paper that the master had just burned. The ghost picked up the pen and started writing on the straw paper.
What I saw was dumbfounded, what kind of move is this...
After finishing writing, the ghost raised his hand and turned the paper towards us. I looked at it for a long time and found that there was not a single word on it. Just when I was confused, the master nodded, waved his hand gently and said:
"Thank you. I, Huo Qian, will definitely remember your kindness. Please come back..."
After saying that, the ghosts slowly turned around and their figures gradually disappeared from the yard. At this time, the six incense candles in the room had just burned out.
Master took a long breath and explained before I could ask any questions:
"No matter where they go, it is unjustifiable for ghosts from the underworld to come to the upper world to help people, so they cannot speak. If they let irrelevant people know, they will have to bear a big sin..."
"I can only burn the paper and pen to them and let them write it down. Since it is the soul that I summoned through the magic method, only I can see the words on it, and no one else can."
Only then did I realize that there were actually so many doorways here, and the confidentiality measures were so strict. It was far from being as simple as I thought.
"Then have they found the whereabouts of Huang Santai?"
"I found it after looking for it. As I expected, Mrs. Huang Santai was not in any danger, but was invited to a place."
"Where?"
Master whispered a few words into my ear, and my expression changed.
"Is this...is this possible? If it's really there, how do we get in?"
"It's not us, it's you!" Master corrected.
"Okay, okay, me! Just me! Then how do I get in?"
"You alone will definitely not be able to do it, so I have found two helpers for you. With them, your chances of winning will be greater."
I was thinking about asking who it was when a familiar and old voice suddenly sounded from behind me,
