Cheng Jie was also confused at this time. In his opinion, Xie Lingya had not been exposed to this industry at least two years ago. Anyway, Xie Lingya had not shown it when he graduated.
However, when he thought about the rumors he had heard, he was not sure anymore. If Xie Lingya had no ability, how could he solve other people’s affairs? He couldn’t be a charlatan, right? He didn’t believe Xie Lingya was such a person.
Xie Lingya didn’t know how to explain it, and Cheng Jie was not an expert. Was it useful for him to say that he had a very impressive bone?
“How about you first tell me what happened to you.” Xie Lingya said.
Cheng Jie thought about it and said: “Since last month, when we go to bed at night, there would be footsteps in the living room, the sound of things being smashed on the ground, and the TV would be turned on. The first time it happened, only my wife was there in the bedroom, and she thought someone had broken in, so she didn’t dare to say anything and called the police via text message. But the police came to the door and found nothing, and the surveillance cameras couldn’t find anything either.”
“Then it became more and more excessive. The fish she bought was torn open and thrown on the ground covered in blood, and we continued to have nightmares about ghosts on the bed. Even hiding in a hotel was not peaceful!
“Do you know how devastated I was? I almost felt like I was going crazy. So, I ran to find a monk. The monk told us that it was a guest ghost, and he took money to do the exorcism, but it was of no use. We wanted to find a Taoist priest again, but this time I heard from friends that there is an expert surnamed Xie in Baoyang Temple. Some people I know were saved by you when they encountered ghosts and hit the wall. Moreover, the talismans of Baoyang Temple are quite famous recently, so we came here. Who knew it would be you!”
He Zun was really a loyal little trumpet and a devout believer, Xie Lingya thought in his heart. The city of Qiyang was only so big, so it was not surprising that the news about He Zun reached Cheng Jie.
After Cheng Jie finished speaking, his wife’s eyes had turned red and she was about to cry. She exhaled and said, “How about it? Do you know how to solve it after listening to it?”
Xie Lingya laughed, “You want to say something else to me? I don’t know everything, but I know all about guest ghosts!”
Not long ago, he had stabbed seven of them to death.
“The monk you went looking for must not be very skilled. The guest ghost in your house may be a bit fierce, but we have to see if it is just a guest ghost.” Xie Lingya was full of confidence and even turned out the classics to show them, “Flying corpses are fierce, it’s just that the name is scary.”
Seeing his confident look, Cheng Jie and his wife were comforted a lot, “Really? How sure are you?”
“Eighty to ninety percent.” Xie Lingya also didn’t say too much, “I will go back with you today to deal with it. Senior, we have known each other for so long. How can I cheat you? I won’t charge you if I can’t solve it.”
Cheng Jie thought about Xie Lingya, although it was a bit out of place, but he really had nothing to say about his friend, so he nodded and said, “I’ll trouble you then. By the way, this is the first time you’ve met your sister-in-law. Not only did you not give out a meeting gift, but you also charged her money?”
Xie Lingya: “What about my sister-in-law? Do you not want to give me a meeting gift?”
Everyone teased each other, and Cheng Jie and his wife felt a little more relaxed, and the haze that had been hanging around them for the past few days dissipated a lot.
….
After the Taoist temple closed at night and he had rested for a while, Xie Lingya packed up the Three Treasure Sword and the related talismans and went to their home with Cheng Jie and his wife.
At about eleven o’clock in the evening, they arrived at Cheng Jie’s house. Cheng Jie’s home was on the seventeenth floor. Because she was going back again, in the elevator, Cheng Jie’s wife Fan Fang was in a tense mood and her face was not good-looking. While Cheng Jie held her hand tightly.
Xie Lingya also consoled her: “It’s okay, sister-in-law, I’m very familiar with this job.”
As the saying went, once you learn something, you should practice it twice. Although he still didn’t know the ins and outs, Xie Lingya knew what the character of the guest ghost was like. No matter where it came from, just destroy it. He had not yet mastered the task of welcoming the Lord God, and he would have to find a Taoist priest from Taihe Temple for that. He did not say it at the time because he was afraid that Cheng Jie would feel uneasy.
Standing at the door, Cheng Jie took a deep breath before opening the door.
As soon as he entered the door, Xie Lingya felt that it was a bit cold inside. Cheng Jie and his wife were a little scared. He immediately turned on the light and scanned around, but it seemed nothing had happened. “Come in first.”
Xie Lingya sat in the living room and took out the Three Treasure sword. Putting it next to him, he also took out the ghost-destroying charms and other objects, and explained: “Doesn’t it usually start making trouble at one o’clock in the evening? Let’s wait here. When it starts causing trouble, I will kill it.”
Cheng Jie and Fan Fang: “…”
Both of them were a little hesitant. Originally, Xie Lingya took the mahogany sword and the talisman, and they were relieved. But when he opened his mouth, there seemed to be no process. It was very simple and rude.
But now that the matter had come to this, they had no way out.
In order to ease their hearts, Xie Lingya gave each of them a house-protecting talisman to put on their body. Then he peeled off a piece of candy and ate it, playing with his phone while waiting.
Fan Fang was a little scared and said, “Xiao Xie, you’d better talk, it’s too quiet if you don’t talk.”
Xie Lingya had no choice but to put his phone away and look for words when he had nothing to say. He and Cheng Jie met less after graduation and they had nothing in common anymore. He looked at his home and said, “Sister-in-law, you bought this house not long ago. Why is there a knock on the cabinet?”
He saw a very large mark on the TV cabinet. Fan Fang hadn’t known about the obvious dent, but Cheng Jie was a person who paid great attention to the living environment. He took good care of the dormitories in college.
“It was just renovated last year.” Fan Fang took a look and said, “It was hit by a stone statue before.”
Speaking of this, Cheng Jie also said depressedly: “I went hiking with my travel companions before and picked up a stone statue. I thought it was some kind of ancient handicraft, so I brought it back and left it there. But after I asked someone to look at it, they said it was old but not worth much. Fan Fang kept saying it didn’t look good. So, I just threw it away. But I didn’t pay attention when I moved it, and I hit such a big dent. I felt so bad. I had to pay for it after working so hard for nothing.”
Fan Fang also said: “Yeah, no wonder it doesn’t look good, but we were so busy during this period that we didn’t care about it. I think we won’t buy a new one so quickly and just find a vase to block it.”
“That’s right, it’s good to block it.” Xie Lingya agreed, “That’s right, I’m going to use the toilet.”
“Wait, the water pipe in the guest bathroom is broken, you go to the master bedroom.” Cheng Jie said and stood up to lead Xie Lingya there.
“Okay… Well, there’s no need to lead the way. It’s such a small distance.” Xie Lingya said.
Cheng Jie said coquettishly, “I’d better follow you, I’m so nervous just sitting here.”
Fan Fang also stood up weakly, holding Cheng Jie’s hand, “We’ll wait for you at the door.”
Xie Lingya: “… “
They insisted on accompanying him to the bathroom, and Xie Lingya had no choice, so the three of them walked to the master bedroom together.
In order to comfort them, Xie Lingya kept talking from inside so that he could wash his hands before coming out. However, his shoes were stained with some water in the bathroom. When he went out, he accidentally slipped and fell down.
“Holy shit!” Not only did it hurt, but it was also embarrassing. Xie Lingya lay on the ground and saw Cheng Jie and Fan Fang both looking shocked and wanting to laugh.
Xie Lingya was so depressed that he accidentally looked to the side and saw something under their bed. At that moment, he felt a chill running down his spine!
