Volume 2: Black Box Chapter 41: Helping the Granny Cross the Road on Hungry Ghost Festival
"Actually, ghosts are nothing to be afraid of. As the saying goes, people are 30% afraid of ghosts, and ghosts are 70% afraid of people!" Hang Tianyi said.
If he encountered her in his previous life, he would definitely be afraid. Now he has merged with the memory of the original owner and inherited something.
Coupled with his martial arts skills, he can now be said to be fearless against demons and monsters.
"Big pot, you don't know that the Yin family is afraid!" Liu Ruoxi's face was full of grievances, and her coquettish look made Hang Tianyi really unable to resist.
But Hang Tianyi understood that such shortcomings cannot exist. He just heard him say: "Actually, eldest brother is also afraid of ghosts, but eldest brother dares to go out tonight. Do you dare?"
Although Liu Ruoxi was afraid of ghosts, she was very competitive and she was just a child. She was struck by Hang Tianyi's provocation and said, "Who wouldn't dare!"
What this girl is thinking is that she just went out to burn paper money and didn't see a ghost brother. Now she goes out and she may not see him either.
What Hang Tianyi was thinking was that this was the capital city under the emperor's feet. Monsters and ghosts did not dare to come. He would definitely not encounter ghosts when he went out. He just wanted to exercise Liu Ruoxi's courage.
"Okay, then let's go out for a walk together!" Hang Tianyi said.
Liu Ruoxi thought Hang Tianyi was joking. When she heard this, there was obvious fear in her eyes: "Are you really going out?"
"Aren't you a little witch? Why, don't you dare?" Hang Tianyi continued to provoke him.
"Who... wouldn't dare, but how are we going to get out? My mother will definitely find us if we go through the door!"
Liu Ruoxi finally discovered one of the great benefits of her mother, which was that she could be used as a shield.
Of course, this is also Liu Ruoxi's last struggle. During the Ghost Festival, ghosts take to the streets.
"You haven't done enough to climb over the wall? Let's climb over the wall tonight!" Hang Tianyi said.
Liu Ruoxi discovered that the cauldron at this time was really bad, looking for other people's shortcomings.
But if you think about it differently, the big pot still accompanies her and goes out together. This is actually quite interesting.
"Just go, no one is afraid of whom!" Liu Ruoxi said.
The two of them came out of the house, climbed over the fence, and came to the street.
Because it was the Ghost Festival, there was a smell of paper money everywhere. And there were very few people on the streets.
In normal times, even at Haishi, this magnificent capital city is still bustling and lively.
Since she came to the street, Liu Ruoxi has always hugged Hang Tianyi's arm tightly, leaning her head tightly against Hang Tianyi, staring at the front. As for the back, she didn't dare to look.
Hang Tianyi originally wanted to exercise this girl's courage, but he didn't expect that she was like a dog-skin plaster, clinging to him, and there was no chance to avoid it quietly.
"Well, it's better not to embarrass this girl!" Hang Tianyi thought.
"Let's go back!" Hang Tianyi said.
Liu Ruoxi said: "Going back now? I'm really not afraid!"
The little girl didn't admit defeat, but in fact she was extremely happy in her heart.
Hang Tianyi is good at observing words and expressions. How could he not see her movements? He smiled lightly and said, "Of course you are not afraid. If someone plans to target your weaknesses in the future, then..."
Liu Ruoxi suddenly realized that her eldest brother really cared about her, and she felt moved in her heart, but she was really afraid of ghosts!
"Big pot, are you really not afraid of ghosts?" Liu Ruoxi suddenly asked.
Hang Tianyi smiled and said: "Of course I'm afraid, otherwise why would I let you come out with me?"
"Humph, lying!" Liu Ruoxi pouted and turned away. A bright moon was high in the sky, and the street seemed even more quiet and desolate.
"Ouch!" came an old voice, and in the narrow alley ahead, only a figure was seen lying on the ground.
Liu Ruoxi rubbed her eyes. She felt that this person fell from the sky. After all, when she turned her head away, she happened to glance at the alley. There was no one there before.
Hang Tianyi looked towards the alley and shouted: "Old man, are you okay?"
"It's okay. I just accidentally fell down. I don't know which evil spirit dug a hole in the ground. My old feet are considered useless!"
The words were so contradictory that Hang Tianyi was stunned.
Although this girl Liu Ruoxi is naughty, she has a good heart. She said: "Let's go and help the old man up!"
Hang Tianyi came back to his senses and looked at Liu Ruoxi's big, bright and clear eyes. He nodded and said, "Okay!"
The two walked into the alley, helped the old man up, and asked, "Old man, where do you live?"
"Not far, just opposite. You are such good children!" The old man had a kind look on his face. With the support of Hang Tianyi and Liu Ruoxi, he slowly walked across the street.
Hang Tianyi said: "It's nothing. Which household do you belong to, old man?"
The old man's face was full of smiles. Black smoke suddenly rose from his arms held by Hang Tianyi and Liu Ruoxi, and he slowly thought about Liu Ruoxi and Hang Tianyi's vests.
But at this moment, Liu Ruoxi's body suddenly lit up with a yellow light, which was like a bright flame hitting the old man's skeletal hand.
A scream was heard, and the old man quickly retreated backwards.
Hang Tianyi had long seen that there was something wrong with the old man, and just now he was ready to take action, but unexpectedly Liu Ruoxi had such a treasure that could restrain ghosts.
It turned out that this was not a treasure, but the talisman seal that Li Chunlai threw to Hang Tianyi when he went to Liu's house. At that time, Liu Ruoxi picked up the talisman seal and carried it on her body, but forgot to take it out and throw it away.
This talisman seal has no effect on people, but if it encounters monsters and ghosts, its power will instantly appear.
"Ghost, ghost..." Liu Ruoxi didn't expect that the old man she was supporting turned out to be a fierce ghost. She was so frightened that she couldn't even speak clearly and her body was trembling constantly.
Hang Tianyi stood in front of Liu Ruoxi and said, "Ghosts are just like this, what's there to be afraid of?"
At this time, he frowned slightly, this was the capital city, how could such a vicious ghost appear?
Once Kyoto was suppressed by luck, it stands to reason that these ghosts would not appear here. Now that they appear, could it be that the Dajing Dynasty has run out of strength?
Hang Tianyi narrowed his eyes slightly. The Great King Dynasty is still peaceful and peaceful now, but it is definitely not like this. Someone is secretly controlling everything.
Its purpose is obviously, firstly, to create public opinion, and secondly, it is obviously intended to destroy the fortune of the Dajing Dynasty. Who else can do such a thing, except the Wang family?
No, maybe someone wants the royal family to think that the Wang family is doing this. After all, in this world, there are not only the Dajing Dynasty, but also the nomads in the north, the Maurya Dynasty in the west, and the Gu and Wu tribes in the mountains in the south.
"The bold ghost actually dares to harm the people at the feet of the emperor. Watch and beat him!"
Hang Tianyi didn't wear a police officer's uniform, nor did he bring a sword, but he had just realized that there was no way to win, and he rushed forward like a Yangtze River with a pair of palms roaring.
An indescribable hot air suddenly emitted from the air. The ghost didn't like this kind of air very much. It roared violently and a burst of black mist rolled up to meet Hang Tianyi's strength.
