Yin Shou Shu

Chapter 90: The Master Card

When we returned to Park Road, it was already 1:35 in the middle of the night.

On the low-quality electronic dial, the black numbers jumped slowly.

The dim moonlight was fragmented by the dark clouds, scattering sporadically on the steep stone steps. The old residential area in sight was engulfed in darkness, and every household had its doors closed and lights turned off.

At this time, everyone is asleep.

Ran Qing climbed up the mountainside in the dark and saw the light on in Aunt Liu's cement house.

In Aunt Liu's daughter's room, light spilled through the crack in the door, making it extremely conspicuous in the darkness.

When I walked to the door, I could still hear the sound of the TV coming from inside.

Mo Li was actually watching TV... Where did the TV come from?
Ran Qing was a little surprised.

Moreover, the voice on TV had a strange accent, it was not Mandarin, but like the Japanese cartoons played in front of audio-visual stores.

There is indeed no TV station at this time.

But... not only is there a TV, but there's also a DVD player?
It's only been one day, and Mo Li has already moved in a TV and a DVD player... Is she planning to live here permanently?
Little Mianhua lay by the door, looking at the light coming through the crack, and whispered with great longing, "Ran Qing, can I go in and take a look..."

Little Mianhua turned her head and looked at Ran Qing, her eyes full of anticipation.

What kid can resist watching TV?

Ran Qing hesitated for a moment and said, "Well...you can knock on the door and ask her yourself."

After all, he and Mo Li were not familiar with each other, and he didn't know whether Mo Li was willing to share.

As he spoke, Ran Qing opened the door of the main hall and walked into the room where the air was stuffy and hot.

As Ran Qing came back, the little people hanging on the red ropes on the ceiling shook happily, as if welcoming Ran Qing home.

Next door, there was the sound of Xiao Mianhua knocking on the door, and then the sound of the TV paused.

The voice of Aunt Liu's daughter rang out: "Hey? Sister Mianhua, are you back?"

Then came Little Mianhua's stammering voice: "Um... Mo Li, can I come in and watch TV with you?"

There was a hint of laughter in the girl's voice. She seemed to like Little Mianhua very much: "Of course, come in, Sister Mianhua. I bought some braised duck neck tonight, just perfect for us to eat together."

The sound of the TV next door started again.

Ran Qingze walked to the next room, scooped a ladle of cold water from the water tank, and drank it all in one gulp.

The ice-cold water entered his throat, relieving the dryness in his throat. The coolness spread throughout his body, and Ran Qing exhaled suddenly.

After going to two shows in one night, walking from the loess slope to the People's Square far down the mountain, and then walking back from the People's Square, Ran Qing felt like his feet were about to break.

In addition, using the power of the ghost walker, summoning ghosts, and facing the witch directly, all of these consumed a lot of his energy. At this moment, Ran Qing just wanted to lie down in the bamboo rocking chair and not move.

Ran Qing finally understood Aunt Liu's laziness.

The ghost walkers summon souls and ask ghosts, walk in the underworld, use red rope figurines and dead faces in incense ashes... these supernatural powers all require the consumption of one's own energy.

Similar to the legendary mana.

If you consume too much energy, you will feel very tired, and your hands and feet will become cold. You need to have a good rest and eat some food that replenishes your qi and blood.

At this time, Ran Qing was so tired that his muscles were sore, but he couldn't rest.

Because the authenticity of the master's card is waiting for him to open the altar to verify...

After leaning his hands on the water tank and breathing heavily for a while, Ran Qing turned around and walked into the main room after feeling that his physical fatigue had eased a lot.

He carefully placed the ebony tablets of his ancestors into the incense ash in the large jar, then took out a new incense stick and bowed respectfully towards the jar.

“…Please bless us, ancestors of all generations.”

After Ran Qing finished worshipping, he inserted the incense sticks into the large vat. The brand new incense sticks suddenly started to burn out of thin air, and a faint smoke rose in the house.

Originally, he wanted to ask the ghost to confirm Li Hongye's condition, but unexpectedly he got the fortune-telling card.

This kind of object, made of the same material as the tablets of the ancestors of the ghost-walking people, can help the worshippers to find evil spirits.

For those in the Taoist sect, this thing is just a ghost needle that can be used to find ghosts. It has some magical uses, but it is not very useful. There are many things that can replace it.

But it is different for the Yin people. When the life master card is in the hands of the Yin people, they can use the Yin energy of the Yin altar to cast a curse similar to black magic on the evil ghosts, making the evil ghosts weak.

Then, bring the destiny card to the door and kill the evil spirit while it is weak. Catching ghosts can quickly increase the strength of the ghost.

Although there are four ways to increase strength in "Witchcraft and Demonic Arts", the most direct and fastest way is undoubtedly to catch ghosts.

The ghost walkers have a special recipe for medicinal wine. After soaking it for two days, drinking it can quickly increase strength.

The evil spirits that have been soaked in wine can be thrown into a large vat and refined.

Now that he had obtained the destiny card, for Ran Qing, it was like a pillow being given to him when he was sleepy.

He took a deep breath, took out the fortune-telling cards from the canvas bag, and carefully placed them in the large vat.

Ran Qing then took a deep breath, took two steps back, and put the Nuo opera mask on the back of his head. He then spread his legs apart, crossed his fingers, and pressed down, with his fingertips pointing to the ground.

"open!"

Ran Qing growled, a cold light flashing in his eyes.

The demon mask on the back of his head extended a long blood-red tongue and licked the air.

The originally stuffy and hot main room was suddenly filled with cold and sticky air.

A cold breath flowed out from Ran Qing's body and gradually seeped into the ground.

The sound from the TV next door began to become vague and distant.

Ran Qing stared at the ground, feeling the temperature of his body and the loss of strength, trying hard to stay still.

After a few seconds, the sound of the TV in the next room disappeared completely.

The main room in Ran Qing's sight has changed.

The originally empty main room was now filled with burning candles.

The flames of the burning candles made the air extremely stuffy and hot.

In a large vat filled with incense ash, countless bitten dead faces were wriggling around the incense stick in the center.

The incense stick burned slowly, but the intensity did not decrease.

This is the foundation of Ran Qing's existence as a ghost walker, his soul fragrance.

Now there is only one...

Only after becoming a ghost walker did Ran Qing understand how terrifying Aunt Six was.

He remembered that in Sixth Aunt's Yin altar, the soul incense burning in the large vat was so dense that it almost filled the entire mouth of the vat.

Compare this to the lonely burning incense stick in my large vat...

Ran Qing sighed deeply.

He walked to the big vat, reached his right hand into the vat where the dead faces were biting and wriggling, and grabbed the cold fortune-teller's card.

A cold aura continued to spread from Ran Qing's hand to the destiny card.

As Ran Qing injected his energy, the small blood-red characters in the center of the destiny card gradually lit up.

Finally, the blood word actually trembled and crawled up, standing on the fortune-teller's card like a living creature.

It shook its body crookedly, stood on the destiny card, looked up and looked at Ran Qing.

——This scene is exactly the same as what is recorded in "Witchcraft, Ghosts and Magic"!
This horoscope card is real!

Ran Qing suppressed the surprise in his heart, tightly grasped the cold wooden sign in his hand, and said to the small red characters on the sign: "Go to Changba Banan Road, there is a well there!"

This is the weakest evil spirit in Aunt Six's booklet...

In the jar, after hearing Ran Qing's words, the blood-red word "Life" suddenly let out a sharp and strange laugh.

The next second, it jumped directly from Ran Qing's palm and jumped out of the tank along Ran Qing's arm.

Finally, the blood-red word "Life" jumped and ran into the darkness outside the door with a strange laugh.

Like a crazy little monster.
