"I need to find someone to ask."
Chen Mu's social network is very narrow.
When he inquired about secret information, the only person he thought of was Jie Jia.
This old man is a big killer. There is a mysterious organization behind him who has the most up-to-date information and intelligence.
……
In Xishi, Chen Mu arrived at Tianyizhai familiarly.
As soon as I walked in, I was stunned.
I went back and looked at the plaque. It was Tianyizhai, that’s right.
There were neither coffins nor antiques in the store at the moment.
There were three ropes hanging above the room, with amulets folded into triangles hanging on them.
On the left side, there are four or five antique display racks, rusty bronze mirrors, wooden swords with black lightning-like cracks, and an exquisite pagoda with a small bell hanging on it...
Each of them is a thing to ward off evil spirits and protect the house.
As soon as there's a haunting in town, you immediately start selling evil-repelling instruments?
Chen Mu calmly glanced at Jie Jia who was squinting behind the counter on the right.
"Why am I not surprised at all?"
"What's the matter?" Jie Jia asked calmly.
Chen Mu looked around subconsciously.
He came up to the counter and whispered, "What's going on in the city with all the evil spirits?"
Jie Jia's eyes slowly turned and he glanced at Chen Mu, a hint of surprise flashing across his face.
Then he returned to his calm state, and his right index finger popped out, pointing into the air.
Looking in the direction of the other person's index finger, I saw a peace amulet floating slowly in the air.
Chen Mu was completely confused.
Jie Jia didn't say anything either. He moved his eyes again and glanced at the left sleeve of Chen Mu.
Chen Mu's face suddenly turned dark.
"Why do you always find where I hide my wallet?"
Chen Mu understood.
"Let me buy something? Sure!"
Chen Mu gritted his teeth and reached out to grab an amulet.
"Can we talk now?"
"Five taels." Jie Jia flipped his right hand, stretched it in front of Chen Mu and said lightly.
Chen Mu: “…” You’re so greedy for money!
He could only give the money obediently.
Who let them monopolize the news?
Jie Jia turned his right hand upside down, and five taels of silver disappeared.
"There is an evil-repelling mirror in the Qingshan County Government. There's nothing to worry about." Jie Jia said calmly.
Chen Mu felt relieved.
An evil-repelling mirror? The county government has such a treasure?
Then he had another doubt: "That's not right. There have been evil spirits in the city recently, and many people have died."
"There are always some fish that slip through the net." Jie Jia said lightly.
Chen Mu suddenly paused.
"What if I run into that?"
Jie Jia glanced at Chen Mu and said, "Admit defeat."
Chen Mu suddenly felt a tightness in his chest.
"What on earth is that evil spirit?" Chen Mu asked irritably, "Is there any way to control it?"
Evil spirits have existed for a long time.
The entire Daliang has coexisted with evil spirits for countless hundreds of years.
There must be a way to deal with it.
Jie Jia rolled his eyes and stared at Chen Mu's left sleeve.
Chen Mu: “…”
……
Ping'anfang, house No. 3 on the west side.
Chen Mu sat in the dark room, muttering to himself.
"Ghost..."
Jiejia told him that most evil spirits were caused by ghosts.
These monsters are invisible but have substance. Ordinary people cannot see them unless they want you to see them.
Ghosts are best at transforming into all kinds of terrifying things.
Scare people into insanity, and then take advantage of the opportunity to sneak in and suck their souls away.
Most of the ghosts, monsters and demons in folk legends are transformed from them.
If an ordinary person encounters this, there is basically no chance of survival.
Fortunately, it is not impossible to fight against ghosts.
First, it is best to have a magic weapon to ward off evil spirits, such as the evil-warding mirror in the BR County Government Office.
Too bad he didn't.
As for what Jiejia sold... let's not mention it.
Second, practice the form technique to perfection.
The Dacheng Form Training Technique has incredible magical effects and can provide a certain degree of resistance.
But he just changed his bones.
Third, practice special martial arts.
Certain special martial arts may have some inhibitory effect on ghosts.
But you may not find one even if you search the entire Qingshan County.
"Jiejia is so fearless, isn't he afraid of ghosts and monsters?"
Treasure? Kung Fu? Or a great form-training technique?
……
the next day.
Chen Mu rarely practiced martial arts.
After breakfast, I ran to Bafang Building early to listen to the news.
It is said that someone died in Guluo Alley in the south of the city last night. His eyes were gouged out and his legs were twisted like twisted knots. It was a horrible sight.
The police from the government office have sealed off Guluo Lane in the south of the city.
Chen Mu felt uneasy after hearing this.
In the afternoon he went to Tianyi Zhai to ask for advice.
This old guy is obsessed with money, but he only cares about money.
If he has special skills, maybe he can buy a copy.
"Let's leave it to fate." Jie Jia said lightly.
Chen Mu suddenly despaired.
The feeling that your life is not in your own hands is so painful.
Thinking that there might be a ghost hiding under the bed when he returns home at night, Chen Mu felt the hairs on his body stand on end.
"Is there really no other way?" Chen Mu refused to give up.
Jie Jia ignored him.
"Last time I saw someone selling talismans to ward off evil spirits on the black market. It was said that they were drawn by a Taoist priest from Qingfeng Temple." Chen Mu asked tentatively.
"Or? I'll give you a 10% discount." Jie Jia said.
Chen Mu: “…” So you sold that too!
"Does it work?" Chen Mu asked with a little hope.
"No one comes to return the goods anyway." Jie Jia said calmly.
Chen Mu: “…” Why do I feel like this doesn’t make sense?
It works and no one has returned it.
If that doesn’t work…
Then can I return the product?!
Chen Mu could only go home with a depressed look on his face.
"I'm just an ordinary civilian. There's nothing I can do no matter how unwilling I am."
"Qingshan County is so big, it's impossible for me to run into evil spirits, right?" Chen Mu comforted himself.
"Forget it, try not to go out."
