When I looked at it, Xiao Ma was even more addicted this time.
It was very difficult to summon the soul with ordinary methods. He immediately cut his middle finger and dripped a drop of blood on his philtrum acupoint.
Then, he patted his left and right shoulders to help him light the sky lantern.
After chanting the Soul Guiding Curse, he stuck out his middle finger and pinched his dantian.
Xiao Ma suddenly opened his eyes and grabbed my hand.
"Xiao Yezi, save me!" he shouted.”
"Stop shouting. You're already awake."
Xiao Ma looked around and heaved a sigh of relief as he wiped his sweat.
"I was scared to death. I almost fell off the cliff."”
I looked back at the painting on the wall. It had returned to its original state.
Broken cliffs and broken rocks, lone pavilions stood tall, very artistic.
After Xiao Ma recovered, he talked about his experience in the dream. It was similar to the last time.
I don't know how he appeared on that mountain. Without my reminder, he didn't know that he was in a dream.
He climbed up the mountain in a daze and walked into the small pavilion.
The breeze beside him was warm and auspicious clouds drifted in the air. It originally felt good.
All of a sudden, the ground began to tilt toward the cliff.
"Although I am in a dream, I still have the instinct to escape.
However, the pavilion seemed to have been sealed by a wall of air, and I couldn't escape. Then, the top of the mountain collapsed. Fortunately, you woke me up at the critical moment!
Xiao Yezi, I can't thank you enough for your kindness. In your next life, please become a beautiful woman and let me serve you.”
I glanced at him.
"That's enough. You just came back from the gates of hell, and you're still in the mood to joke.
" Xiao Ma chuckled." With you around, I have nothing to be afraid of. You will definitely save me anyway.”
I felt very sad in my heart. Why was the first friend I made after leaving the mountain such a scoundrel?
Old Guo also heard some clues from our narration.
"Little Junior Brother, this matter is very troublesome."”
I nodded.
"It is very troublesome. This guy can lead a person's soul into the painting and change the scene in the painting to kill people.
It means that its cultivation is not shallow. I was just beside it and didn't notice its arrival at all...
This guy was really not an ordinary ghost demon.”
He shifted his gaze to Xiao Ma's face and said,
"The first time could have been an accident. Now that the same thing has happened again, they must be targeting you.
Try to recall what unusual things you've done recently, hmm?”
Xiao Ma frowned and thought for a moment before stammering,"
"Peeping into the girls 'dormitory with binoculars, is that considered…unusual?”
"You better be serious. He's not afraid of me at all now.
As long as you sleep, they can take your life at any time. If you're not afraid of death, of course I don't care about you.”
When Xiao Ma heard this, he panicked. After thinking for a long time, he raised his head with an aggrieved expression.
"I really didn't do anything. Maybe…I did something, but I can't remember.”
I rolled my eyes.
"If I knew the reason, why would I ask you?”
However, thinking about it carefully, it made sense. Many people provoked Gui Yao unintentionally or by chance.
If there were no hints at all, it would indeed be difficult to find a clue.
After thinking for a while, I turned around and asked Old Guo,"Is there a ghost in Stone City?"”
"Of course. If you want to hire someone, I'll find you a reliable one.”
After paying, we went back to my room together.
"What's a ghost prostitute?" asked Ma ambiguously in the elevator.”
"The reapers arranged by the netherworld in the human world wander in a fixed area and are responsible for receiving new souls.
As he had stayed in the same place for a long time, he knew a lot about the local supernatural information.
Just like the entertainment reporters in the human world, we in the magic world jokingly call them Ghost Records.”
Xiao Ma wiped his sweat.
" So it's a ghost reporter. You scared me. I thought you were looking for a ghost to serve you…"
I kicked his butt!
I went back to my room and cleared the things on the bedside table.
He took out the Eight Trigrams Mirror from his backpack and placed it on it.
He wrote three vertical lines on the mirror with a cinnabar pen and lit two yellow candles.
He placed it on both sides of the bronze mirror and took out a blank talisman paper.
He asked Old Guo to write down the name of the ghost mark with a cinnabar pen and burn it on the candle.
All the smoke drifted into the bronze mirror, and a black figure appeared from the mirror.
It was a middle-aged man in a suit!
"You're dressed so fashionably."
I muttered to myself.
"Ghosts have to keep up with the times." Ghost Mark smiled and sized me up.
"New mage, which faction are you from?”
Old Guo came over and said respectfully,"This is my junior brother, an inner sect disciple of Mao Mountain.
I just came down the mountain to ask you something.”
Mr. Zhang pretended to be surprised and cupped his hands.
"You're so young, but you're already a Taoist master's tablet. You are several years younger than when Daofeng left the mountain.”
"You know my Eldest Senior Brother?"
Mr. Zhang took out a small book from his pocket and flipped to a certain page.
"On the second day of October, 1996, he asked me about the whereabouts of a green-haired zombie in South City.
He owed me twenty incense sticks and ten joss paper, but he never gave it to me.
If you see him, remember to remind him to pay the bill.”
I smiled." I'll pay for it together after I'm done asking.”
Mr. Zhang smiled." That's another matter. That's the rule. I can accept it if you pay for him." What do you want to ask?"
I organized my words and said,
"There's a guy, I don't know what he is, but I suspect he's an evil spirit that can bring a person's soul into a painting.
He could also change the scene in the painting and destroy people's souls.
Mr. Zhang, do you know where this guy came from?”
Mr. Zhang took out an abacus from behind him and started to play with it.
He raised his head and said,"Thirty incense sticks and fifteen pieces of paper money."”
"Sure." I snapped my fingers and was in a good mood.
He had originally wanted to give it a try, but he didn't expect Ghost Mark to really know.
Mr. Zhang smiled in satisfaction and said,""This is an evil spirit.
His purpose in coming to Stone City…was unknown.”
I almost vomited blood." What is this? Swindling money?”
Mr. Zhang was not angry. He smiled and said,"I was a ghost officer for three years."
At that time, it was already in Stone City. It had always been alone and did not report to me.
It didn't interact with any ghosts either. Who knew how long it had been formed?
It has never harmed anyone, and I can't do anything to it.”
I frowned." It doesn't harm people?”
"No, your senior brother Daofeng fought with it in the past and didn't destroy it.
The only thing I can tell you is that it is a person in a painting.”
" The person in the painting…" I suddenly understood.
No wonder it could enter every painting. It was an innate attribute.
People in paintings were psychic, and this kind of thing had always been common.
Due to some fortuitous encounter or the guidance of an expert, the person in the painting gradually became sentient and could walk out of the painting.
For example, Yan Ruyu in Liao Zhai was the person in the painting.
The person in the painting was essentially an evil spirit, but he didn't have resentment and rarely caused trouble.
The purpose of their existence was to cultivate and strive for the position of Immortal.
So, I really don't understand. An evil spirit that never harms people.
Why did he harass Xiao Ma time and time again and almost kill him?
Or perhaps…its target was him?
"How do I find it?" I asked after a moment of silence.”
