Winner in life

《Life Winner [Quick Transmigration]》

Ruihe thanked her, and after eating and paying, he went to look for the place. Along the way, he saw some incompletely burned yellow paper fragments. After finding the family where the child lost his soul, Ruihe knocked on the door. There were old-style buildings nearby, and many people fenced off the entrances of their homes, which was considered a small courtyard. An old lady opened the door and looked at Ruihe warily: "Who are you?"

After explaining the purpose of the visit, the old lady let him in. In the small courtyard, a boy of seven or eight was sitting blankly, looking like he had lost his soul.

"I bought the talisman paper for summoning souls from the witch on the other side of the street, but it didn't work." The old lady looked depressed, "I have to go to the courtyard tonight to try it. The witch said it would only work at night." She loved her grandson so much that she couldn't help but use it during the day, but it didn't work. Alas. She saw Ruihe wearing a Taoist robe, but he was really too young, so she didn't believe it in her heart. She held the idea of ​​trying everything possible and asked with a little hope, "Does the young master have any ideas?"

Ruihe checked the child's condition and judged that he was missing a soul and a spirit, probably because he was frightened and lost. Hearing the old lady's question, he shook his head. In the old lady's disappointed eyes, Ruihe continued: "The witch you found is right. You can't summon souls during the day. The sun is too hot and the souls can't move in the sun. You can't summon them. I'll accompany you tonight."

The old lady nodded and thanked her, looked at her grandson lovingly, and sighed heavily.

After leaving this house, Ruihe went back to the haunted house to wait for news. He also called Cai Ningzi to report that he was safe. It was not a violation not to talk about the test questions. After hearing about this, Cai Ningzi said: "Generally speaking, it must be given to the examinee. Whoever does it will do it?"

This is the truth, and Ruihe thought so too.

"There is no news from Taoist Master Suiquan. I don't know how the request went. The police sealed the yard and wouldn't let me in." Ruihe knew that procedures and rules were necessary, but he couldn't help feeling anxious.

He had already determined that the evil spirit was hiding in the dry well. He was confident that he could uproot it. It was within his reach, but he just couldn't get in. As the sun was setting, he didn't know if any other candidates had drawn this question. If so, he would be wasting time and his first-mover advantage by waiting here.

Cai Ningzi was a little anxious: "I'll ask for you!"

After all, they were all in the same industry and knew each other. Even if Helian Temple and Suyu Temple were far apart and had no relationship, they could always get in touch.

Cai Ningzi called Ruihe soon: "Master Su Yuguan couldn't contact Suiquan, maybe he got delayed on the way. Don't go anywhere, just wait there, your sixth brother went to find the people from the Taoist Association."

"Well, Master, you've worked hard."

"Hey, have you eaten?"

Ruihe looked at the sky: "I've had lunch."

"It's four o'clock, go have dinner first, do you have enough money?"

"Yes." Ruihe comforted Cai Ningzi, "It's okay, Master, don't worry, I'll be back tomorrow."

After hanging up the phone, the kindness on Cai Ningzi's face disappeared, and anger surged on his face. He has lived for more than eighty years and has seen a lot of things! How can you not see that someone is playing tricks? No matter how well Su Yuguan said it, and no matter how sufficient the reasons given by Suiquan were, they could not cover up the fact that someone was blocking his apprentice from taking the exam.

"Who also got that exam room? So they used a trick to delay Hong Zhen's steps?" He murmured.

I don't blame him for being so suspicious. In every martial arts exam, there are generally two examination halls. One is the examination hall where the questions are concentrated, just like the examination hall for the Hu Mingshan chain trap array this time, where you can score points by stepping on the spot. The second is the uncertain examination hall, also known as the outdoor examination hall, which can only be obtained by candidates who have passed the previous examination hall. Because it is impossible to determine the number of candidates who have passed the first level of the martial arts exam, the number of questions in the second examination hall is limited, and a lottery is adopted. First come first served, the later the candidate draws the lot, the higher the probability of getting repeated questions.

Therefore, the martial arts exam also competes with efficiency, speed, and luck!

It does not mean that candidates who get the test questions late are destined to get no points. Maybe the candidates before him have limited abilities, and they can't get points even if they arrive at the examination hall first? There is also a precedent for this. Therefore, the second level is also called an additional question or a score-pulling question.

Therefore, Cai Ningzi's suspicion is well-founded. This kind of precedent is not without precedent. If it is said that Suiquan's children are too strict in doing things, it is not impossible to follow the process and ask for instructions before being released. But how come the person disappeared while asking for instructions?

Hiding?

Is he stalling for time?

Ruihe didn't tell Cai Ningzi that he had been in a car accident because he was afraid that Cai Ningzi would worry. Otherwise, Cai Ningzi would not be guessing, but certain. He personally went to tell the Taoist Association about this matter. The invigilator of the Taoist Association said that this matter can only be solved by the candidates themselves. It is normal for outdoor examinations to have many variables, just like the Hu Mingshan martial arts test, which also tests luck, and the same is true for outdoor examinations. Anyway, the test questions have been released, and whether they can score depends entirely on the candidates, and they will not intervene.

"After all, there is no violation."

Cai Ningzi gritted his teeth. That's right, Suiquan's actions did not violate the rules, everything was just his guess. He said Suiquan did it on purpose, but where is the evidence? If there is no evidence, it is slander. He had to call Ruihe again and tell his speculation.

"I hope I am just overthinking. You just wait a moment. If Suiquan hasn't completed the request by tonight, we can ask the Zhuyang Special Investigation Office for an explanation. We will follow their procedures. Their own work efficiency is low, and the fault lies with them!" Cai Ningzi lowered his voice, "If someone really plotted against you, they will stop tonight or tomorrow morning at the latest. You should be careful."

Ruihe thought of the car accident he had been in... nodded gently: "I understand."

Accidental? Once is accidental, twice is inevitable.

Ruihe also had doubts when he came to take the exam and encountered obstacles one after another. He did not leave, but had a casual dinner nearby and sat cross-legged at the gate of the compound waiting.

Night fell quickly, and Suiquan finally came back just after the sun went down the horizon. As soon as he saw Ruihe, he pulled Ruihe to apologize repeatedly, with a sincere look: "I don't know who hit you with a club! I rushed here after bandaging it, I'm so sorry! I'm sorry!"

Ruihe smiled, he rarely smiled like this, his eyebrows did not move, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, under the dim street lights, at first glance he was still as humble and polite as usual, but in fact his eyes were cold.

"It's okay, can I go in now?"

"Of course I can. You are a candidate. The martial arts test of the Taoist competition is naturally important. We will wait for you outside the door and will not interfere with your exam. I will go in after you finish the exam to make sure that all the hidden dangers are eliminated."

"Yes." Ruihe agreed, and he was reluctant to say the polite "thank you".

Watching Ruihe walk in, Suiquan restrained his expression. The policemen who left the yard asked: "Can he be allowed to go in? It gets colder inside after nightfall. Can he do it?"

"I don't know. It's an exam. How can outsiders know whether he can do it?" Suiquan sighed slightly. This time he was also selfish. It was the limit to delay for such a day. If he dragged it on, the Taoist Association would investigate him. "Let's wait."

He frowned slightly at the alley entrance, then retracted his gaze and looked into the yard.

Under such a great reputation, can Hong Zhen of Helian Temple do it?

Ruihe walked through the gate and came to the yard. The temperature here dropped several levels compared to the daytime, making people feel like they are in the cold and snowy weather, and they can't help shivering.

Standing in the yard and looking around for a while, Ruihe sat cross-legged with his back to the dry well, motionless.

Outside the door, Suiquan said in his heart: Arrogant, young man arrogant!

The airflow in the air began to change, and the biting coldness came to him with the night wind. Ruihe stood still, thinking to himself: It seems that there are two.

He didn't move, and the dry well began to move.

The gurgling sound of the water was particularly clear in the dark night. If it weren't for the wrong time and place, this sound of water would remind people of the picture of a stream flowing in the wild, which should be a natural, fresh and quiet picture scroll.

But it's not right!

It's late at night, and the location is an old house that has been haunted for half a year. The weather is clear and the moonlight is bright, and there is not a drop of rain. Because no one lives here anymore, even the tap water has stopped.

Where does the sound of water come from?

How could there be a sound of water?

Ruihe still did not move. He concentrated on feeling the changes in the air. This was a rare training. Behind him, the dry well began to get wet from the bottom. Water from nowhere filled the bottom of the well, and then the water level climbed up inch by inch. The moss on the well wall became more transparent and strangely green after being stained with water. There seemed to be a whirlpool at the bottom of the well, stirring the well water to keep turning, and that was how the sound of water came from.

Soon, the dry well became a living well, and the water in the well reflected the moon, which was extremely clear.

Hearing the sound behind him, Ruihe still did not move. Until the well water suddenly made a loud noise, as if something splashed out, and the damp and cold air rushed to the back of his head, giving him goose bumps on his neck.

With his eyes closed, Ruihe felt in his mind that a pair of hands were reaching for his neck. He finally moved, and his right hand quickly raised. At that moment, his palm seemed to be on fire. He grabbed and twisted it with his backhand, and the sizzling water mist evaporated in the air, accompanied by a sharp and piercing scream.

Ruihe stood up and turned to look. A water ghost was pulled out of the well screaming, and its lower body was connected to the well water, and was pulled out of a long arc by Ruihe. This water ghost was swollen and swollen all over, like a white steamed bun that was soaked in water and poked casually by chopsticks. It was really unbearable to look at. It was screaming in fear, and its neck was grabbed by Ruihe's hand. The power of the Qingyun Fire Curse on it made it miserable, and it felt that it was going to be burned dry!

With a strong pull, the water ghost was completely pulled out of the well by Ruihe.

"Pop!"

The female ghost lay on the ground, and a large piece of water stains spread on the mud surface. The fishy smell of the soil and the stench of the corpse were intertwined.

"What's your name? Why are you stranded here?" Ruihe asked.

The ghost girl was still a little dizzy, and she struggled for a while before she got up. As a result, her vision suddenly spun around, and her gray eyes, like those of a dead fish, stared blankly at the moon.

Its head fell off.

The author has something to say: Early, early, early! !

Ah, the cough in the late stage of a cold is really stubborn, and the temperature has dropped again today. I turned out the sweater that I had put away. This weather is suffocating.
