Yin Shou Shu

Chapter 109 Mo Li's Speculation

In the dark and closed cement room, Ran Qing looked at the copper coins in his hand in silence.

The common sense in "Witchcraft, Ghosts and Magic" was overturned twice in a row.

Even his master, who was a ghost walker, might have been killed by an unknown evil being.

And until Aunt Six died, she didn't even realize this...

"What is the origin of this copper coin?"

If it weren't for this copper coin, he might have followed in Aunt Six's footsteps and died in an unclear manner.

But this copper coin woke him up and made him see the scene of a strange monster walking into the house and digging open his stomach.

He even changed the lines on the copper coin to form a crude stick figure to warn Ran Qing.

"So this copper coin is actually helping me?"

Ran Qing muttered to himself.

He sat in the room and pondered for a long time, then finally stood up and opened the wooden door to the main room. After entering the hot and stuffy main room, the sound of the TV came from Mo Li's room.

At four in the morning, the girl was still staying up late watching TV.

Her biological clock of being active at night and sleeping during the day makes her seem like a living person.

Or maybe... she's actually a shaman? Can she sleep only two hours a day?

Ran Qing walked to the door and knocked, and the sound of the TV in the room immediately stopped.

Footsteps were heard, and then the wooden door opened.

The girl in the cartoon nightgown looked at Ran Qing.

"Uh... the noise is too loud. Did it disturb you?" the girl asked weakly, seeming a little guilty.

Ran Qing shook his head: "No, I just want to ask you something."

Mo Li immediately let Ran Qing in, and Ran Qing walked into the house.

After a few days, he returned to this room again.

But the girl's room at this time was completely different from when Ran Qing lived there before.

The room, which used to have peeling walls, was empty and old, and even the air seemed to have a sense of ups and downs, now has many cute cartoon posters on the walls and a soft, clean foam mat on the floor.

The old mosquito net was replaced with a beautiful pink gauze net, and all the sheets and bedding were also replaced with new ones.

There was a large white floor-standing cabinet in the corner of the room, and two large bear dolls as tall as a person were sitting on the soft mat.

There was a faint fragrance floating in the air. The original old desk was replaced by a bookshelf against the wall, which was filled with many comic books and novels.

The once empty room is now filled with things, but it doesn't seem crowded, as everything is neatly arranged.

The moment he walked into the house, Ran Qing almost thought he had come to the wrong place.

The room was totally unrecognizable.

Little Mianhua was lying on the bed, staring at the TV, and looked at Ran Qing curiously: "Ran Qing, are you here to watch TV too?"

Seeing the carefree little cotton, Ran Qing sighed silently.

"I also want to be so leisurely..."

Standing by the door, Ran Qing took off his shoes very consciously and stepped on the clean foam mat wearing only socks.

After sitting down, Ran Qing took out the ancient bronze coin in his hand and handed it to Mo Li.

"Have you ever seen this kind of copper coin?"

Mo Li has been with Aunt Liu for much longer than Ran Qing.

She definitely knows more about ghost walking than Ran Qing.

Now Ran Qing came to ask her first.

Mo Li took the copper coin curiously and looked through it carefully for a while.

Her brows gradually furrowed: "...I haven't seen it before, but it's a bit weird." Mo Li looked at the stick figure on the copper coin, then looked up at Ran Qing.

"I don't know why, there are only two stick figures on this coin."

"But I have an inexplicable feeling that one of the stick figures is a very scary monster."

"And the stick figure that the evil spirit is stepping on..."

Mo Li looked at Ran Qing, hesitant to speak: "...I always feel it's you."

Ran Qing's heart suddenly trembled.

This was the first time he had heard the word "stickman", but it was a very apt description and he could almost understand what it meant as soon as he heard it.

The person being stepped on on the copper coin was Ran Qing... Mo Li actually had the same feeling.

Ran Qing told the story of sleep paralysis and the evil spirit entering the house.

After he finished speaking, Mo Li's eyes gradually widened, as if he had heard a ghost story.

Little Mianhua also jumped over and said in disbelief, "Ran Qing, are you having a nightmare? How could an evil spirit sneak into the Yin altar of the Yin people so quietly?"

Little Cotton looked like he had seen a ghost. His cowardly nature of bullying the weak and fearing the strong broke out again and he began to tremble.

Mo Li's reaction was much calmer.

She looked at the copper coin in her hand seriously and said, "...So you suspect that the evil spirit that entered the house was the culprit who killed me?"

"And the old woman may not know about this until she dies?"

Mo Li is indeed very smart.

Before Ran Qing finished speaking, she already understood what he meant.

The two looked at each other, and Ran Qing nodded slowly.

"I can't find any relevant records in the book 'Witchcraft and Demonic Arts'. This is a weird and strange thing that goes against common sense."

"When you were with Aunt Six, you probably came into contact with some people from the Xuanmen sect, right? Have you ever heard them mention anything like this?"

Apart from Meng Laoqi, Mo Li is the only person from the Xuanmen sect that Ran Qing knows now.

There was something wrong with this girl from head to toe.

He must have some abilities.

At this time, Ran Qing could only ask her.

Under the bright incandescent light, Mo Li returned the copper coin to Ran Qing and said, "I have never seen this copper coin before, and I don't know how to identify cultural relics."

"If you go to a place like Panjiayuan in Beijing, maybe they can find some experts to appraise your treasures for you."

"But in a remote place like Yuezhao, where there aren't many cultural relics unearthed, there are no such experts, at least I don't know any of them."

"As for the evil spirit you mentioned that can quietly enter the Yin Altar... To be honest, I've never heard of it. It shouldn't exist."

Mo Li shook his head again and said, "But in today's Yuezhao, there are more than one things that break common sense."

"Your female classmate named Li Hongye, and the water ghost you are trying to capture tonight, both retain their sanity from before they died."

"Another bizarre incident isn't a big deal. Since a large number of evil spirits and demons flooded into this area of ​​Zangke 20 or 30 years ago, there's been constant trouble."

"It wouldn't be surprising if some evil cultivator really caused a disaster."

Mo Li looked at Ran Qing and said, "What is certain now is that this copper coin is helping you. Its appearance has allowed you to see the evil spirit that is harming you."

"But this copper coin may only help you so far. Although you can see it, you can't move it, let alone resist..."

After Mo Li finished speaking, Ran Qing immediately understood what she meant: "You mean, let me try to find a few more copper coins?"

"Perhaps if I have more coppers on me, I can get up and take action when that thing enters the room?"

"But this copper coin..."

Ran Qing looked at the old copper coin in his hand with a serious look: "Where can I find it?"
