The Exorcist

Chapter 24 It can move!

Wan Li stopped talking. He felt that some clues had emerged and he wanted to sort them out in his mind. Although the middle-aged elder sister still talked endlessly about trivial matters in the town, his long-term experience as a psychiatrist gave him the ability to talk to her and think about things at the same time, not to mention that as long as he responded slightly, this kind-hearted The talkative eldest sister just wanted to say something and didn't care about his answer.

From the beginning, they determined that the incident might be related to the kiln. Although there is no direct evidence linking the kiln to the kiln, it has been confirmed from the side that those people trapped in the empty town are indeed inextricably linked - they are all officials, they were promoted together, and their relationship They worked closely together to benefit the town and secretly conducted some experiments on porcelain.

Could it be that they did something outrageous together, and then hired a man with magic power to suppress the resentful spirit? Sima Nan learned of all this, accidentally or intentionally, and he released the resentful spirit and helped The resentful spirit set up this trap to take revenge? Of course, in order to achieve some of his own goals, he doesn't get up early for no benefit!

It seems that we need to contact Ruan Zhan immediately to inform each other of the situation, and then determine what to do next. Now the answer is ready to be revealed, but at this time, you need to be more cautious, because accidents are most likely to happen at critical moments.

"Oh, it's already so late!" The middle-aged elder sister was talking happily when she suddenly shouted, "The children and adults are going home, I have to go cook." She turned around and left in a hurry. But after only walking a few steps, he remembered something and turned around and said to Wan Li, "I also want to prepare a portion for Feng Niang. Why don't I bring more, and this gentleman can eat before leaving!"

Wan Li wanted to refuse, but probably it had been a long time since she had such a lively chat with this elder sister, so she was particularly enthusiastic to persuade Wan Li to stay, saying that the local specialties she cooked were much better than those in the restaurant. Wan Li could not refuse anymore, so she had to agree. stay.

While the eldest sister was cooking, Wan Li tried to talk to Feng Niang, because since he entered the courtyard, she had not said a word. She just wiped the four pieces of porcelain gently and repeatedly while smiling quietly and looking at Wan Li. Talking to the elder sister, she looked happy. Thinking of her pitiful life experience, Wan Li felt sad and wanted to help her with something.

But no matter what he said, Feng Niang just smiled with him and touched his face. In the end, he had to give up and communicate with her silently in the way she liked. He knew that Feng Niang wanted him to feel like he was at home, so he was not polite and visited the small courtyard.

There are two simple small sheds at the entrance of this small yard. They are the kitchen and utility room at first glance. However, the smoke and smoke are very cold, and they have obviously been idle for a long time. Opposite is a row of three rooms. In the middle is Feng Niang's room, which is simple and plain, even shabby. The room on the left is the Buddhist hall, which is small but quite clean. There is also a small incense burning quietly; on the right The room was not big, with simple furniture. Although it was very clean, an indescribable coldness hit my face as soon as I opened the door.

"This is my Yongzi's room." Feng Niang suddenly spoke, startling Wanli.

Turning around, he saw Feng Niang standing behind him carrying the wooden box with the porcelain. He quickly stretched out his hand to help, but Feng Niang ducked away and refused to let him touch the wooden box. She placed the wooden box upright on the bed, then stroked it for a long time and murmured to herself, as if That wooden box is alive.

Wan Li stood there stunned for a while, suddenly feeling a little strange, as if he had disturbed something, so he exited the room. Fortunately, not long after, the fast-talking elder sister walked into the yard carrying a large aluminum plate with two large bowls of vegetables and a few steamed buns.

"Try my cooking. I'll make sure you have a good meal and think about your next one!" She greeted enthusiastically, and then called Feng Niang out.

It was summer, and the small dining table was placed in the yard. Sister Kuaizui helped Feng Niang pretend that she wanted to help Wan Li after dinner, but Feng Niang stopped her. Both Wan Li and Sister Kuaizui were a little surprised. They didn't understand what was going on, so they wanted to ask, but they saw the old man walking into the room on the right and coming out holding a pair of snow-white dishes.

"Use this for you!" Feng Niang said with a smile.

Wan Li heard the elder sister next to him take a breath of air and looked back in confusion.

"Oh my God!" Sister Kuaizui had an unbelievable look on her face, "That's Feng Niang's baby. Normally, she would fight to the death if someone else touches her, but today she actually gives you food?!"

Wan Li didn't know what to say, but he saw Feng Niang diligently helping him pack rice and vegetables, then stuffed it into his hand, stared at him, and let him eat. He was naturally very courageous, fearless of everything, and had never been overly nervous. He didn't even blink when he was about to die several times, but now his hands were shaking as he held the delicate rice bowl.

Regardless of whether it is valuable or not, even if Feng Niang cares about it so much, wouldn't it be a heinous crime if she broke this bowl?

"Eat!" The old man urged again, and Wan Li carefully took a mouthful of rice into his mouth, chewed it casually for two mouthfuls, and then swallowed it.

The Kuaizui eldest sister on the side looked at him in a daze for a while, then hurried home to break the gossip, leaving Wan Li here alone and restless. And the more nervous he became, the heavier the bowl in his hand felt. As he was eating, he felt the bowl shake. He was so frightened that he immediately held the bowl tightly for fear of breaking it.

However, when he held the bowl tightly in his hand, a strange feeling suddenly came over him. Why did the bowl start to heat up, and finally it started to get hot, making the palm of his hand feel like he was being bitten! Is it because I have been flattering him for too long, or am I hallucinating?

He quickly put the bowl on the small wooden table and glanced at Feng Niang. However, the old man didn't say anything and just ate his food slowly. In his opinion, there was no sign of hypocrisy at all, and he didn't seem to notice anything unusual about the bowl.

He calmed down and looked at the sky. It was dusk now, and the light was very weak. They were sitting in a shady place without direct sunlight. Moreover, even if they were exposed to the sun, they should be warm, and there was no way they would feel as hot as before.

He tentatively reached out and touched the edge of the bowl again - it was indeed hot. Although it was not hot enough to burn someone, the temperature was at least above 70 degrees.

"What's going on?" he muttered under his breath.

As if in response to him, right under his nose, the beautiful white bowl suddenly moved.

Wan Li's heart tightened. He looked up at Feng Niang and found that the old man was as calm as ever, as if nothing had happened. Could it be that I have been too tired these past few days and my eyesight is dazzled? He rubbed his eyes and stared at the bowl, hoping that he was wrong. However, in the next few seconds, what his eyes saw made him almost shout like in the advertisement: It can move. ah!

He hesitated for a moment and touched the edge of the bowl with his hand, feeling it tremble. As if he was afraid of himself, he slowly moved closer to the plate until they collided together and made a crisp sound.

Wan Li frowned, and another question arose in his mind.

Are there any spirits attached to these porcelains? The old man always told people that his son Feng Yongzi was alive and came to see her. Could it be that Feng Yongzi's soul couldn't care less about my mother and lingered around for many years?

It seems that we need to investigate the origins of these four pieces of porcelain! Also, if everyone keeps silent about what happened that year, then asking about the cause of Feng Yongzi's death may help us figure out the truth.

"Feng Niang, who sold you this treasure?" Wan Li saw that the old man had finished his meal and was looking at him kindly, trying to ask for some clues.

"Baby, it's mine." The old man turned the bowl over and spilled the rice all over the table without caring. He just touched the texture of the bowl lovingly, "It's mine, it's mine from the beginning!"

"Feng Niang, I know it's yours, but where did it come from?"

"My son calls me mother." The old man smiled happily, "He is a filial child and will not leave his mother alone."

Wan Li opened his mouth. He wanted to continue asking using his usual method of treating patients, but for some reason facing this old man, he just couldn't continue asking. He was unwilling to reveal the scars in her heart, even if it was beneficial to the treatment. thing. Although he loves his job, he now feels that he may not be suitable for this line of work. He is too soft-hearted and has lost his calm judgment and medical rigor.

He stayed for a while longer, listening patiently to the old man's repeated words of praise for his son, and did not leave until the quick-tongued elder sister came to clear the dishes. Before leaving, he truly praised Sister Kuaizui's cooking skills, and she happily made an appointment with him to come back the next day to taste other dishes. In fact, the eldest sister's food may be really good, but he couldn't eat it at all just now, and of course he didn't feel it was delicious. He did this so that the outspoken and kind-hearted eldest sister could change shifts with other neighbors who took turns taking care of Feng Niang. Tomorrow he could further investigate the hidden truth from her.

The matter is urgent, Ruan Zhan needs help! But he couldn't mess up the situation. Chasing too hastily might not be effective. Therefore, he first needs to go back to the hotel to stimulate the eccentric owner, and then exchange information with Ruan Zhan before making the next plan.

With this thought in mind, he slowly walked around the main street of the town, allowing those who were following him like ants on a hot pot because they couldn't find him to find him 'accidentally'. Go back to the hotel.

As soon as he returned to the room, he called the front desk and got furious, clamoring for the store owner to come. He acted so menacingly that the waiter on the other side of the phone was so frightened that he quickly called for the owner.

"Boss Sun, your service is too bad!" He seemed very angry, "I just ordered dinner and it hasn't been served yet. The food I cooked is inedible, and the water in the bath is not hot. Look, The hygiene is not done well, how dare you ask so much money for one night?"

Boss Sun had been with him for a few days and found him to be a very gentle person. He didn't understand why he suddenly got angry and didn't answer for a while.

In fact, although this hotel is not a five-star hotel, it is still the best in town. The conditions and services are very good, but Wan Li is deliberately looking for trouble, just to let Sima Nan, who is monitoring him, hear his unreasonable troubles. That person thinks he is elegant and will definitely be annoyed by this. When he didn't bother to eavesdrop on the argument, no attention was paid to him. By then, his little trick will be more than enough to deceive the other idiots who are monitoring him.

Of course, he must remember not to overdo it, otherwise he will be suspected.

"this--"

"Don't do this or that." Wan Li's tone was still strong, but he maintained his demeanor, otherwise he would be like his usual self. He was very worried about having a quarrel with Boss Sun. After all, he was not very good at quarreling. This reminded him of Xiao Xia. Although she was not a very good lawyer, her ability to catch the loopholes in people's words was top-notch, and she always had the upper hand in arguments.

However, Boss Sun was a smart man. Although Wan Li looked excited, his eyes were very alert and he always looked around, knowing that he might have other things on his mind, so he just argued a few words. He spoke tactfully and seemed to be very cooperative, so the two of them kept arguing about trivial matters for more than half an hour. Although it was annoying, they didn't get into an argument at all. To outsiders, Wan Li was just barking alone.

"Okay, if you say your service is good, then come and see the bathroom with me." Wan Li kicked open the bathroom door with a bang.

It should be almost done. This would make Sima Nan mistakenly think that he lost control due to anxiety because he couldn't find any clues to the matter! He was really tired of quarreling, and then he realized that quarreling was also very tiring. He estimated that the effect should have been achieved, so he quickly moved on to the next step.

As soon as Boss Sun came in, he immediately closed the bathroom door and slapped a charm on the door.

That was one of the talismans left by Ruan Zhan. Although it could not form a barrier, it could protect a relatively closed environment from prying eyes from outsiders. The reason why he went to the trouble of putting on a scene first instead of using the spell directly was to make Sima Nan think that he and Boss Sun were talking about the hotel and not to suspect Wan Li from his behavior. This will not implicate Boss Sun.

The most advantageous thing is that the bathroom here is secretly guarded and has no windows, so unless Sima Nan hides in the toilet, they are safe.

His act of applying the charm startled Boss Sun and turned his face pale.

"Don't be afraid, this is an isolation symbol. If you put this on, the outside world won't be able to hear us." He randomly named us, "Please forgive me for yelling at you, but believe me, there is a person in this store who is you." I have to guard against it.”

"What do you mean?" Boss Sun calmed down, "I open my shop, and everyone who comes is a customer, and everything has nothing to do with me!"

"Don't do Tai Chi. You are a smart man. You should know that if I didn't have some clues, why would I come to you rashly?" Wan Li pointed it out to him and said, "You asked me to go to Zhenxi overtly or secretly, didn't you just give it to me? Did you point me to a path? What, you still don’t admit it? Let me tell you, I have found Feng Niang and got those moving porcelains."

Boss Sun said nothing, but his expression was uncertain.

"Your father is the official named Sun back then, right?" Wan Li continued, "To be honest, those who did that unforgivable thing were trapped in the new town, and their lives and deaths are unknown. I believe you understand. for what."

"You don't need to lie to me." Boss Sun said, "Just tell me, I don't know anything."

"You don't know? Then why hint to me? This is very contradictory, but I can understand that maybe you have a last resort. But whether you do it out of good intentions or out of atonement, if this matter gets too big, no one will be able to escape. It doesn’t matter.”

"I really do not know."

"Okay, then bring the lamp and vase that scared Miss Yue last time, and I'll ask in person." Ruan Zhan had already told Wan Li what Xiao Xia had experienced in this hotel. At this point, Wan Li was a little disgusted with Boss Sun. Just say what you have to say, why bother trying to scare women? Even if you have something to hide, as a man you can make your own choice. His behavior is actually a psychological desire to be forced. He subconsciously wants others to force him when he cannot decide something, so that he can passively let the result choose him.

This is an escape mentality! It's a pity that things are so urgent now that he doesn't have time to let him escape!

"How did you-" Boss Sun stopped suddenly, but his expression changed, which showed that this sentence hit his heart.

"How do I know? Because Miss Yue and I are in the same group, and there is also a very powerful mage with us. Now they are dealing with the resentful spirits in the new town, and I am cooperating from the outside. You must be I saw it, otherwise they wouldn’t have guided me to Feng Niang in Zhenxi!”

When Boss Sun heard this, he didn't speak for a long time, and then asked softly, "How are those people?"

"A few are still alive, but the rest are all dead, and they died miserably." In order to attack his psychological defense, Wan Li told the truth, "These resentful spirits are too resentful, and they won't be finished until they kill the last one."

Boss Sun trembled visibly, "My father has been dead for many years."

"The resentful spirits won't care about this. Others don't know about the missing people in the town, but you may know it. Some of those people are the descendants of the people responsible. Although they have not done anything wrong with their own hands, they You still have to pay with your life! Miss Yue has nothing to do with this matter, but she is also involved. Therefore, you can’t protect yourself wisely. "

"But I've been helping-" Boss Sun blurted out, but stopped in time.

Wan Li was irritated and didn't understand why he always spoke half-sentence. It seemed that his unspeakable secret really put a lot of psychological pressure on him. In fact, he hasn't communicated with Ruan Zhan yet and has said a lot of things, many of which are just to deceive him. But what is certain now is that he must know about this matter, at least a little bit.

"Who have you been helping?" Seeing that Boss Sun was still hesitating, Wan Li said mercilessly, "It doesn't matter if you don't say it. By then there will be no more resentful spirits trapped in the city, so just wait to die. Master Long may have magical power Gao Shen, but the place has been destroyed!"

"No, I don't want to die, and I've had enough. My father is dead, and I have been helping Feng Yongzi's family. I also hinted that you and Miss Yue should go to clear up the injustices committed back then. I don't deserve retribution!"

really!

Wan Li let out a long breath, "Did you deliver the porcelain to Feng Niang? Your father was one of the people who participated in the first kiln. Was he the one who brought out the remaining porcelain? But, on that Why is it possessed by a spirit?"

"I don't know, I really don't know." Boss Sun said, "Before he died, my father just told me that they had done something outrageous. He asked me to send the porcelain away, asked me to help Feng Yongzi's family, and asked me to help them move. Before entering the new town, try to find someone to clear the grievances. He really didn’t say anything to me. I just thought that Miss Yue came from a big city to popularize the law, and I also felt that you came here to find her, so I——"

"At least you have to tell me, is it Feng Yongzi who is attached to the porcelain?"
