A Guest In A Ghost House

I glared at Xiao Chen with dissatisfied and kicked Xiao Chen"s knee.

Xiao Chen knelt on the ground directly, at the moment he about to speak, I put into his mouth a mouthful of rice. I pressed Xiao Chen"s neck and made him bow his head toward the grave.

Su Jun was about to stop me at first when he saw my first action, but he stopped himself when he saw my second action.

I told Xiao Chen, "Spit out rice and apologize sincerely."

It seemed that Xiao Chen didn"t understand me, he spewed out the rice but tried to stand up. My strength was not as strong as policeman who often worked out. I couldn"t stop him from getting up.

Xiao Chen stood up and spit saliva directly into the basin, "What are you doing?"

I looked at Chen and shook my head helplessly. Maybe it was fate. But now I couldn"t let the woman whose surname was Zhang hurt Xiao Chen anyway.

I ignored Xiao Chen. I picked up Evil Killing Amulet on the platform of rite that was written previously, pointed it against the fireball that floating in sky. "He is young and not sensible. Please forgive him. Otherwise, don"t blame me for being rude."

As soon as my voice had just come out, the fireball in the sky sparkled and burnt out instantly. After the flames went out, it became dark ash floating down in air.

Su Jun said, "Is it over?"

I took a look at Xiao Chen in silent, then spoke to the old man Zhang, "Well, stop chanting."

"Master, but..."

Old man Zhang wanted to speak but was stopped by my wink. I gave him a cup of water because his voice was hoa.r.s.e.

"Take a good rest."

Old man Zhang nodded.

I then turned around to look at Su Jun, "Please find the graves of s.h.i.+ Xiaodie as soon as possible, and try your best to prevent Zheng Chen from dead."

Su Jun nodded and looked at me in a eye full of doubts.

After a series of things that had happened, we had gotten rid of most of the suspicion, but after all, everything was not finished. Therefore, old man Zhang and I had to returned to old man Zhang"s home under the lead of the police. That was a kind of monitoring of us.

The next morning, Su Jun came without any follower.

When he met me, Su Jun asked quickly, "Can you save Xiao Chen?"

I looked at Su Jun and said, " Xiao Chen? What is the trouble with him?"

"I can see that the woman whose surname was Zhang does not intend to let go of Xiao Chen. At that time, she didn"t take further action was probably because of your formation."

I watched him a bit surprisingly. His ability of investigating was so good that he had nothing to be ashamed of being a policeman.

"Let him not to speak so carelessly anymore, clarify the ident.i.ty of that woman, buy a coffin and perform an elaborate funeral for her, and then engrave a spirit tablet for her. Don"t miss the three incenses every day."

Su Jun nodded and then said, "Zheng Chen is still alive. I let my colleagues take guard in the hospital. The tomb of s.h.i.+ Xiaodie has found, but her skeleton is gone. I sent someone to investigate. It turned out that her skeleton was removed long ago."

I nodded tiredly, "Where is Zhou Yan"s body?"

"Already cremated. After all, it"s a weird death. What shall we do next?"

I thought for a moment, "Just find the body of s.h.i.+ Xiaodie as soon as possible, and let Xiao Chen do what I said as quickly as he can."

Su Jun nodded and then left.

The two formations I laid down could only be maintained for three days. Within three days, I was not sure whether Chen will be able to obtain the forgiveness of the woman whose surname was Zhang.

I spread my right hand, and the wound on my finger had healed, but in the palm of my hand I had a pale red word of "repentance". I asked Old man Zhang to search for a wooden tablet to make it look like a spirit tablet.

Then I pressed my right hand on the spirit tablet, muttered incantations, and my palm warmed up a bit. I took out my palm, and the word of "repentance" which was in the middle of my palm was gone, but above the spirit tablet, there was a pale red word of "repentance", but soon disappeared.

The spirit tablet was placed in a high place in the middle of the room, and the three sticks of incense was lit. I with Old man Zhang respectfully prayed and then I went to sit in the small courtyard.

Today, the suns.h.i.+ne was good, and it s.h.i.+ned warmly on the body.

"Master."

"Hum"

"Is the female ghost whose surname was Zhang really going to look for officer Xiao Chen?"

"The female ghost whose surname was Zhang is a kind person, she did not retaliate against the people in the village, she forgave me. As long as Chen can do as what I said, the problem won"t be serious, but now the female ghost is beginning to complain. If Xiao Chen dose something wrong again, I am afraid..."

Old man Zhang nodded; his face was showing a worried look.

I smiled and said, "Xiao Chen had seen these things, so he would not dare to neglect it anymore. Besides, Su Jun will certainly warn him."

"Well, I know, master."

I was so boring, I began to teach old man Zhang, but many of the teachings were killing techniques. s.h.i.+ Xiaodie had become a pain in my heart. My hatred for her was nothing less than the weird monster in the ancient well of my home.

Fooling, deceiving, cruel, and sinister, this was the only impression that s.h.i.+ Xiaodie left for me. Now it was only waiting for Su Jun to seek out the tomb of s.h.i.+ Xiaodie.

After two days pa.s.sed, the s.h.i.+ Xiaodie"s tomb still had no clue, and Zheng Chen fell asleep on the bed all day just like his child did, he had no relatives who could take care of him around him.

The only good news was that although Xiao Chen did not find the woman"s further information, she had already been buried and honored according to my word.

It looked like that the kind-hearted woman was probably not going to hurt Xiao Chen，but Su Jun still did not believe it. He took a few amulets from me and said that he wanted to give them to Xiao Chen and his family.

Just when I thought that the body of s.h.i.+ Xiaodie could no longer be found, Su Jun was very excited to call me and said that Zheng Chen was awake and that the body of s.h.i.+ Xiaodie was moved by Zheng Chen.

It was already midnight. However, old man Zhang and I still hurried to the hospital.

Hospitals at night were always gloomy and weird. This had nothing to do with ghosts. It was merely because of the acc.u.mulation of too many negative emotions in such places. This kind of negative emotion could always acc.u.mulate Yin Qi. And Yin Qi was the most needed thing for ghost. That was why it was easier for a person to encounter strange things when he was unlucky.

The hospital"s light was bright, but none of people, there was full of pale color. The nurses on duty were sleeping in the duty room. None of them was outside.

"Be careful, something is wrong." Several times of carelessness made me become more sensitive. I always felt that the hospital was a bit strange. Of course, it might because I had not been to hospital so late in night.

Only one policeman on the aisle fell asleep on a bench in front of the intensive care unit.

It had been 20 minutes since Su Jun called me, the case progressed so suddenly. It was such an important matter that the policeman could not fall asleep.

Moreover, in such a short period of time, Su Jun could not leave, but the entire ward was quiet, without a trace of sound.
