Yin Shou Shu

Chapter 91 Mo Li
The first time I opened the altar and cast the spell, it was successful!

Ran Qing watched the red word "Life" run into the darkness outside with a strange laugh, and breathed a sigh of relief.

I didn't expect it to go so smoothly.

Opening the Yin Altar and casting a spell doesn't seem to be that difficult. Just strictly follow the steps in "Witchcraft, Ghosts and Magic".

In the main hall filled with stuffy air, Ran Qing weakly withdrew his right hand and shook off the incense ash on his hand.

The gloomy and cold fortune-telling card had now turned into a bare, dark piece of wood.

The blood-red word "Life" disappeared, and the wooden sign became ordinary.

Even the weight has been reduced a lot.

Ran Qing carefully flipped through the blank wooden sign for a while, and the more he looked at it, the more he liked it.

Next, just wait for the red character "命" to find the well in the field and cast a curse on the evil spirit in the well.

Ran Qing can then bring his supplies and go to the house to exorcise ghosts.

After carefully putting away the destiny card, Ran Qing prepared to rest.

He knocked on the large vat where the soul incense was burning, and soon the candles burning around it disappeared.

Ran Qing returned to the empty main room again.

Although the air was still heavy, there were no candles in sight.

The sound of the TV next door rang out again.

Xiaomianhua and Mo Li didn't seem to want to sleep and wanted to stay up late watching TV.

But Ran Qing was exhausted and ready to rest. After all, tomorrow was Monday and he had classes.

Just as Ran Qing was about to leave, the wooden door leading to Mo Li's room in the main hall was pushed open.

A girl wearing a beautiful silk nightgown and a pair of cute cartoon slippers walked in carrying a plate of duck necks.

"Huh? You just went to the underworld?" The girl was stunned when she saw Ran Qing standing next to the big vat, tired, weak and pale.

She actually guessed what Ran Qing had done just now.

Ran Qing, who was forcing himself to cast a spell despite being exhausted, was now so sleepy that his eyelids were drooping.

But facing the girl's question, he still forced himself to stay sleepy and responded politely: "Well, I tried opening the Yintan..."

Ran Qing spoke ambiguously and did not tell the girl about the horoscope card.

As the daughter of Sixth Aunt, she was obviously no stranger to the skills of the ghost walker.

Seeing Ran Qing's frail and pale face, the girl came over with a plate and said, "I heard from Sister Mianhua that you went to two places tonight. Not only did you summon spirits and ask ghosts, you also encountered a pit of the dead and a witch..."

Mo Li held the plate in one hand and extended his right hand to Ran Qing: "Come on, I'll help you go in and rest."

When the girl stretched out her fair hand, Ran Qing subconsciously wanted to refuse, saying that he could walk.

But as soon as he raised his right hand, he felt a black screen in front of his eyes and fell forward.

The girl was not surprised at all. Facing Ran Qing who fell, she opened her right hand and held Ran Qing's arm steadily, half hugging and half supporting Ran Qing's body.

"You're putting so much pressure on yourself on your first trip as a ghost walker. You really think you're an iron man," the girl sighed and shook her head.

At this moment, half of Ran Qing's body fell into the girl's arms.

Their bodies were pressed tightly together, the girl holding the plate in her left hand and hugging Ran Qing with her right hand.

At such a close distance, Ran Qing could clearly smell the faint fragrance from the girl.

It was the pleasant smell of shampoo mixed with shower gel.

For a young boy, it was the first time in his life to have such close contact with a girl of the same age.

His face turned red instantly.

Ran Qing has seen evil spirits, encountered a witch, and escaped to the treacherous and dangerous Wujiang ghost world several times. He can be said to have experienced life and death.

But I've never had such close contact with a girl before!

He quickly calmed himself down and stood up straight. The girl also let go of his shoulders, but her right hand went under Ran Qing's armpit and supported Ran Qing's arm.

"Come on, I'll help you in," the girl shook her head and said, "Stop being so chauvinistic. It won't hurt me to help you walk a few steps."

Although the distance between them was a little wide, the girl still supported his shoulders with one hand.

As he walked, Ran Qing could clearly feel a soft touch on his arm.

He instantly guessed what it was, and his body stiffened almost instinctively... well, not completely.

Ran Qing's mind was a little blank.

The sudden situation completely shattered all his composure and defenses.

The girl's nagging voice rang in his ears, and she was completely unaware of the abnormality of the boy next to her.

"...Overdrawing one's energy is not a good thing for a shaman."

"You just opened the altar, there's no need to rush."

"Don't push too hard at once, you'll tire yourself to death." The girl helped Ran Qing into the next room, turned on the light, and helped Ran Qing sit down on the bed.

Then she placed the plate of duck necks on the bedside cabinet and said to Ran Qing, "Have some duck necks. I just bought them. They taste pretty good."

The distance between them widened again, and Ran Qing sat weakly on the cold, hard bed, breathing nervously.

He hunched his back slightly and nodded guiltily, not daring to look at the girl's face.

"Well, thank you..."

Ran Qing hasn't felt cramped for a long time.

The girl pointed to two gift boxes in the corner and said, "Those are the pastries I brought from Hong Kong. Remember to try them when you have time. They taste pretty good."

"Oh, by the way, I heard from Sister Mianhua that you went to summon the spirits of a girl named Li Hongye tonight?"

After the girl finished speaking, she suddenly brought up this matter.

When Ran Qing heard Li Hongye's name, he was stunned for a moment, and that charming and strange feeling suddenly disappeared.

A chilling, sad feeling gripped Ran Qing's heart. He seemed to see the girl in the mirror being dragged away by the bloody corpse again...

Ran Qing slowly sat up straight, with a somewhat sad expression: "Yes, I am going to see Li Hongye."

He did not deny it.

The girl pulled a stool over and sat in front of Ran Qing, saying, "Can you tell me about her? Maybe I can give you some advice."

The girl looked directly at Ran Qing, her eyes not filled with gossipy curiosity but with seriousness.

Looking at Mo Li like this, Ran Qing was silent for a few seconds before slowly saying, "She's from the class next to mine..."

In the dimly lit room, Ran Qing calmly told the story of Li Hongye.

This was not a secret that could not be told, but he still spoke briefly, only giving a general account of Li Hongye's situation and the feud between the two families.

Finally, he told the result of summoning ghosts tonight.

Li Hongye actually still has half of her humanity...

Ran Qing was not very surprised by this. He had already guessed that there was something unusual about Li Hongye's death. He took the risk to summon the soul and ask the ghost tonight just to confirm this.

Now that it has been confirmed, all that remains is to find a way to save her.

But it was obvious that Ran Qing was not able to see Li Hongye again in the short term.

Li Hongye's family of three were tied together. Before dealing with the two bloody corpses, Ran Qing could only ignore the girl for the time being - and he didn't have the ability to ask.

Li Hongye instructed Ran Qing to go to 7014, perhaps to let Ran Qing get the fortune-telling card.

Only if Ran Qing catches more ghosts and soaks them in wine to increase his strength and become as powerful as Aunt Liu can he suppress the blood corpse alone.

Only then does he have hope of rescuing Li Hongye.

Ran Qing calmly described the situation in a clear and organized manner, and quickly finished the whole story.

After listening to this, the girl named Mo Li nodded slightly.

"...So that's it."

"Half human, half ghost... It's really rare. I've never heard of such a situation before." The girl glanced at Ran Qing and said, "I was going to advise you not to be too obsessed with this matter since you just opened the Yin Altar."

"But you're calmer than I thought. It looks like you should let it go for now, right?"

Mo Li smiled slightly and said, "It's right to let it go for now. The blood corpse is so terrifying. Even if you want to take care of this matter, it's not now."

The girl clapped her hands and stood up. "Okay, since you are so smart and calm, I won't bother you with nonsense anymore. Go to bed early."

This was the first time Ran Qing saw the girl smile since they met.

She stood by the bed, her lips curled up, and her bright eyes seemed to sparkle with crystal clear light.

Looking at Ran Qing with a smile, the girl said: "Remember to eat duck neck... Eat something before going to bed, you will feel much more comfortable tonight."

After saying that, the girl turned and left.

She left in a nonchalant manner, as if she had just finished a simple reminiscing.

Ran Qing watched her leaving, feeling a little dazed.

Is Mo Li... concerned about him?
They were just strangers who had just met for a day and were not very familiar with each other. In the afternoon, Ran Qing's words even angered the girl and she ran away.

But she didn't get angry with Ran Qing.

After seeing Ran Qing returning home exhausted and exhausted, she not only took the initiative to come over to deliver food and help Ran Qing rest, but also tried to persuade Ran Qing to calm down.

Although Ran Qing was not an impulsive person, the girl did not have the opportunity to express her concern about Li Hongye.

But she did take care of Ran Qing to the best of her ability, worried that Ran Qing, a stranger, would die by being brave enough...

Ran Qing sighed softly, feeling mixed emotions for a moment.

When Aunt Six wasn't mentioned, this girl was surprisingly gentle... She was completely different from the harsh and ferocious face she had this morning.
