Yin Shou Shu

Chapter 110 Don't Trust Everything
The old copper coin is extremely mysterious. Behind it is an evil cultivator who kills people and refines ghosts.

This time he found one by accident, but Ran Qing had no idea how to find the next one.

Mo Li looked at Ran Qing and said, "Is it possible that you didn't find this copper coin by accident tonight? I have already marked it for you..."

Mo Li's words made Ran Qing stunned for a moment.

"You mean...the ghosts recorded in the booklet left by Aunt Six all carry these copper coins?"

Ran Qing had just had this thought, but he rejected it. If Aunt Six really knew about the copper coins, she would definitely tell Ran Qing before she died.

but……

There was a moment of silence in the room, and then Mo Li said, "Try again. Follow the booklet the old woman gave you to find ghosts and see if the next ghost has a copper coin."

"Try it again and you'll know."

"Anyway, the thing tonight didn't kill you, and you didn't feel any pain or anything unusual."

"It shouldn't kill you in a day or two. You should still have time."

Mo Li made a suggestion, and after thinking about it, Ran Qing nodded in agreement.

"That's all it can do."

He planned to cast the spell later.

After the water ghost in the well was captured, the master's card can be used again.

Mo Li asked, "In the booklet the old woman left for you, where is the next target you were asked to find?"

Ran Qing frowned and thought for a few seconds before saying, "Sixth Aunt didn't rank them in order for me. She just wrote down some of the ghosts' characteristics and details in the booklet."

As he spoke, Ran Qing took out the booklet written by Aunt Liu and opened it.

"If I had to choose next, I'm going to go to Ghost Cave Village."

There is a small village in the valley next to Yuezhao City, very close to the Yuezhao Steel Plant, called Guidong Village.

Ran Qing had a junior high school classmate who was from this village. Because of the special place name, Ran Qing remembered it after hearing it once.

It is said that there is a very large cave in Guidong Village, where the sound of ghosts crying can often be heard at night. It is mysterious and strange. More than ten years ago, a geological exploration team entered the cave but mysteriously disappeared. No remains have been found to this day.

However, the evil spirit recorded in Aunt Liu's book is not in this ghost cave.

But it is on the mountain near Guidong Village.

The booklet said that there was an abandoned Taoist temple on the top of the mountain, and an evil ghost was lurking in the temple.

However, Aunt Liu's description of this evil ghost was rather vague and far less detailed than the water ghost in the well.

Aunt Liu's booklet is about the water ghost in the well, and it gives a detailed summary of the water ghost's weaknesses and how to deal with them.

All that’s missing is step-by-step instruction, and Ran Qing just needs to follow the instructions.

But Aunt Liu didn't seem to know much about this abandoned Taoist temple.

Furthermore, the further back in the booklet goes, the more vague and simple the records of evil spirits become.

I don’t know whether Aunt Liu doesn’t have time to write or just doesn’t understand.

Mo Li took the booklet and looked at it for a while, then shook his head. "It seems the old woman really wanted to pave the way for you. She wrote this manual before she died, clearly wanting to teach you how to capture ghosts. But unfortunately..."

Mo Li said this with a complicated expression.

She returned the booklet to Ran Qing and said, "In short, just refer to the contents of the booklet and don't believe everything you read."

"You should have noticed it when you went to collect the water ghosts tonight."

"The water ghosts that old woman wrote about are completely different from what you actually see."

"Even the water ghost she wrote about most meticulously has such a big discrepancy, so what about the ones that come after that..."

Mo Li shook his head again: "Except for the address, you'd better forget everything in this booklet."

"This old woman's booklet is obviously written in a very sloppy manner. She must have been nearly dead when she wrote it, and she had no time to do a detailed investigation."

"Mianhua said I haven't gone out to catch ghosts in almost two years. I suspect everything here is outdated."

"If you believe it, you might end up being led astray by her outdated information." The girl gave some sound advice.

Ran Qing was silent for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

He was a little curious: "Mo Li, are you also a ghost walker?"

The girl really had a detailed understanding of the business of ghost walking and could see many angles that Ran Qing could not see.

But in response to Ran Qing's question, the girl sneered and said, "I don't want this old woman's tattered inheritance."

"I'd rather be a ghost than a ghost walker."

"But I've been with this old woman for so long, I do understand some things that most people don't. If you have any questions in the future, you can ask me, and I'll do my best to answer them for you."

When the girl mentioned her sixth aunt, her eyes were cold and her tone was harsh.

But as long as Aunt Six is ​​not mentioned, she is very friendly.

Now he can be said to be willing to tell everything he knows and try his best to help Ran Qing with advice.

Ran Qing could only sigh at this twisted temper, feeling that she was indeed the daughter of Sixth Aunt.

"Thank you very much."

Ran Qing stood up and said goodbye. He was anxious to go back and start the ritual.

But before leaving, the girl threw two thick comic books from the bookshelf and said, "When you have free time, read some extracurricular readings. It won't hurt to relax."

The girl said sincerely, "Seeing you keep the strings so tight every day, I feel tired."

"You can take any book you want from here."

"Take these two books and read them first. The illustrations are so beautiful, I guarantee you'll be hooked."

The girl was all smiles and full of confidence.

Ran Qing took the comic book and looked at the cover.

The spiky-haired child holds a stick, his hand resting on his face as if looking out, while riding a blue dragon flying through the clouds. The drawing is cartoonish and cute, appearing quite childish.

The green dragon had big eyes, like a woman, and lacked any of the majesty that a dragon should have.

Ran Qing took a look at it and put it away without caring.

"Okay, thank you." He lost interest in such a childish cartoon after just one look. He didn't believe it could be so good that he would become addicted to it.

However, he still expressed his gratitude for Mo Li's kindness.

After closing the door of Mo Li's room and returning to the main room, the sound of the TV came from next door again.

Xiaomianhua and Mo Li started watching Japanese cartoons again.

Ran Qingze took a deep breath and looked towards the dark main room.

In the main hall where the air was hot and choking, a jar tied with a red rope and containing a female ghost was placed under the tablets of Heaven, Earth, Emperor, Parents and Teacher.

Strands of black evil energy continued to overflow from the jar.

The female ghost in the jar seemed to have given up resisting. She stopped smashing the jar and there was no movement.

Ran Qing walked to the jar, took out the fortune-telling card, and gently tapped the jar with the gloomy wooden card.

Soon, a blood-red word "Life" staggered out from the gap on the edge of the jar and jumped to the center of the wooden sign.

Ran Qingze took a deep breath and looked at the jar filled with incense ash beside him.

"open……"

With a low shout, Ran Qing opened the altar again.

A few minutes later, Ran Qing's figure disappeared in the dull hall.

A low voice was heard faintly in the dark room.

“…Go to Ghost Cave Village!”
