Xie Lingya put on the small clothes for the Phytophthora God, which he bought yesterday. Because Phytophthora God was different from the standard size of other dolls, there were still some inappropriate things.
Xie Lingya had just used his clumsy skills to patch up the clothes twice, narrowing the wide areas, and then put it on the Phytophthora Goddess.
Shi Changxuan looked at the Phytophthora God coldly from the side. Although its face could not show any expression and it was not close to its ears, he seemed to be able to imagine what the Phytophthora God might be muttering now.
“Okay.” Xie Lingya helped Shi Changxuan pin the Phytophthora God on his collar.
Zhang Daoting came in at this time, took a wide look, and couldn’t help but say: “…Hey, everyone else is helping to tie the tie, and you are helping to tie the baby.”
The picture was so beautiful that he couldn’t bear to look at it.
“Wearing a tie? You should be taking care of your turban, right?” Xie Lingya chuckled.
“Boss, someone is looking for you from outside.” Zhang Daoting lowered his voice and said, “I paid attention, he came in a luxury car.”
“What paying attention, you have to behave like a master.” Xie Lingya looked at him strangely, “Can you concentrate on cultivating Taoism? I will take care of this aspect.”
Zhang Daoting: “…”
“Don’t get into the habit of doing this in front of outsiders.” Xie Lingya warned him twice more before going out with him.
The person who came to see Xie Lingya was naturally Mr. Gao. He still had a bruise on his forehead, but he was very calm and you could not tell what he had been through. He shook hands with both Xie Lingya and Shi Changxuan.
“I came here specifically to thank Mr. Xie.” Mr. Gao said with a smile.
He was not stupid, he went back and checked, and not only did he get to know the things about Baoyang Temple that was popular in his circle of friends, but also things that others didn’t know, such as Xie Lingya helping He Zun’s uncle, and that he inherited the Taoist temple and started running it on his own, etc., so everything was clear to him.
Such a Taoist temple did not look like one seeking investment at all.
“You’re welcome, what’s wrong with Mr. Gao?” Xie Lingya asked.
Mr. Gao thought about it before telling him about last night’s strange incident and sighed: “I have many friends who believe in Feng Shui and metaphysics, and there have been many people who wanted to ‘discuss’ this aspect with me, but I didn’t feel that way and was never interested. This time, it’s all thanks to Mr. Xie.”
He took out the Lingzu Amulet.
Xie Lingya knew it had been used as soon as he saw it. He took it and twisted it, but his brows furrowed.
He thought the sign of death with paper money hanging in his ear was a misfortune, but Mr. Gao said he saw a figure, which was clearly a sign of something bad. But Mr. Gao was a man with deep blessings. How could he be related to something like that? Or was this just an accident?
Shi Changxuan was also observing Mr. Gao and also noticed something strange. Maybe they didn’t understand it comprehensively, but they both had a vague feeling.
The smile on Mr. Gao’s face gradually stiffened. He was here to say thank you, and everyone was supposed to be happy. However, the look on the two people’s faces made him uneasy. “What’s wrong?”
Shi Changxuan looked at Xie Lingya with questioning eyes, thinking maybe they needed to use other means to determine the nature of this matter.
Xie Lingya also thought, why not let Shi Changxuan teach him a lesson and do some divination.
At this time, Shi Changxuan heard the thin voice of the Phytolacca God in his ears: “A hemp rope is tied around the neck, and a visitor is coming to the door.”
Before the host started the divination class, the Phytolacca God had already made a prediction.
Shi Changxuan’s eyes suddenly changed.
Xie Lingya noticed his change, “?”
Shi Changxuan moved his lips and read out the eight words, “…the hemp rope is tied around the neck, and a visitor is coming to the door.”
Xie Lingya’s pupils suddenly narrowed.
A sign of death, a sign of death!
It meant a person mourning. If a mourner came to the door, wasn’t it a sign of impending death?
As for the hemp rope around the neck, Huang Jinyang was not there, and they hadn’t opened their spiritual eyes, but it could be guessed that there were probably marks on Mr. Gao’s neck, or even Yin Qi wrapped around it.
Xie Lingya looked at Mr. Gao in surprise. Yesterday, there was paper money hanging in his ears. He originally thought that it had been resolved, but today there was another sign of death when he came to the door. This shouldn’t be the case. Let’s forget it once. If Mr. Gao could be unlucky enough to look like this, his face wouldn’t be this good.
When Mr. Gao heard what Shi Changxuan said, he could guess what it meant. He said with an ugly face, “What else have I encountered?”
“Mr. Gao,” Xie Lingya became serious, “I’m afraid that was not an accident.”
He told Mr. Gao, the reason why they struck up a conversation yesterday was because their friend saw that Mr. Gao might encounter a fatal calamity, but that calamity had been resolved, and another calamity was reborn, also a calamity of death. It was so unreasonable, so wrong, so…man-made.
Mr. Gao felt a chill on his nape and couldn’t help but touch his neck. Although there was nothing here, he still felt uncomfortable.
However, it was not that simple for Mr. Gao to get to where he was today. He calmed down and said: “Mr. Xie, since you could help me once yesterday, I believe in your ability to help me find the culprit. Although I have no interest in investing in a Taoist temple but I am very interested in traditional Taoist culture and art, and I am willing to cultivate a golden body.”
Golden body, a golden body!
Xie Lingya was excited in his heart. The little money he had saved was not enough to gild the ancestor. It was better for the local tycoon to do it, who could cultivate his golden body as soon as he made a move. But yes, this was a matter of life and death.
If Xie Lingya was still hesitant at first, after hearing the reward, he had to fight hard to avoid being harassed by the ancestor at night!
Xie Lingya suppressed his excitement and said: “Thank you, Mr. Gao, for trusting us so much. To be honest, many people think we are unreliable when they see our age.”
But Mr. Gao said indifferently: “I said, yesterday you have already helped me once, and I believe in you.”
Xie Lingya slowly calmed down, “Then let’s talk and see what possibilities there are.” The amulet was easy to draw, but it was different when Mr. Gao wanted them to find the culprit.
Mr. Gao was usually kind to others, but in the shopping mall, there must be competitors, but he couldn’t think of anyone who hated him so much that he would want him to die.
“As long as this person does something, there will definitely be traces.” Xie Lingya thought of the ghost that Mr. Gao said he saw last night, made up his mind, and said, “Something will definitely happen tonight, Mr. Gao, what are you doing today? Just sleep in a hotel tonight, and we’ll go too.”
He pulled Shi Changxuan along with him, but Shi Changxuan didn’t seem to have any objections, and he was probably also a little curious about this matter.
….
Mr. Gao’s interpersonal relationships were too complicated and difficult to understand. Xie Lingya decided to remain unchanged in response to all changes. If the other party made a move, he and Shi Changxuan would be able to follow the clues.
Xie Lingya greeted Zhang Daoting and took the guy and Shi Changxuan to the hotel where Mr. Gao was staying.
Mr. Gao opened a large suite and had four more bodyguards than the last time they met. He also asked Xie Lingya and Shi Changxuan to pretend to be bodyguards, “That person must be observing my movements. Meeting you yesterday was an accident, he didn’t know, maybe he thought I was lucky enough to escape, so he continued to harm me.”
Mr. Gao didn’t want to expose Xie Lingya and others, so as to alert the enemy. The feeling of being secretly targeted by someone was too uncomfortable, and he was eager to know who this person was.
After Mr. Gao arrived at the hotel, he called his wife and told her that he would not be going back at night as he was on a business trip. After hanging up the phone, Mr. Gao smiled at them and said, “I don’t want to let my wife worry.”
Mr. Gao was the one who wanted to cultivate the golden body of the ancestor. Xie Lingya praised Mr. Gao without hesitation, saying he was a good man and was very kind to his wife. A man should not let his wife worry.
For some reason, there was a faint sigh from the Phytophthora God in the lapel: “Alas…”
Shi Changxuan: “…”
Because after changing into a black suit, it would not match the style of the painting, the Phytolacca God was stuffed inside. Although it bulged a little inside the clothes, it was still more suitable than hanging outside. When others hung up their walkie-talkies, wouldn’t it be funny if he hung up a doll?
In the evening, Mr. Gao stayed in the room with Xie Lingya and his bodyguards. He watched movies and TV. It could be seen that although his face was calm, he was inevitably uneasy in his heart. Although Xie Lingya stuffed three Lingzu amulets on him.
Xie Lingya was originally in a good mood, but Mr. Gao’s mood infected him invisibly. He couldn’t help but pace around with the Three Treasure Sword in his hand. He felt that this seemed too new, so he sat there calmly without looking at Shi Changxuan.
Till twelve o’clock in the evening, nothing happened.
Mr. Gao’s bodyguard seemed to be speechless, and said to him very forcefully: “Mr. Gao, why don’t you go to bed early. It’s okay. What’s there to be afraid of? If you make some noise, then there will still be time to go and I’ll run to your back. If someone comes by himself, I’ll chop whatever comes.”
Mr. Gao squeezed out a dry smile, “It’s not just about chopping… Well, Mr. Xie, what do you think?”
“Ah…” Xie Lingya said awkwardly, “Actually, I also plan to chop down whatever comes.”
Mr. Gao: “…”
Bodyguard Yi: “Do you think so?”
“Mr. Xie, this is enough to make me relax.” Mr. Gao breathed a sigh of relief, “Okay, I’ll sleep first.”
I’m not, I’m serious. Xie Lingya thought in his heart. But seeing Mr. Gao getting into bed and sleeping, he didn’t say anything.
Xie Lingya sat on the sofa, feeling a little sleepy. He washed his face and tried to open his eyes wide, then walked out of the toilet.
“Ouch.” A bodyguard suddenly touched his face and rubbed his fingers twice.
Xie Lingya took a look and said, “Was water thrown on your face? I’m sorry.”
The bodyguard shook his head in confusion and looked up, “It seems to have come from above. Why is there a leak in a five-star hotel?”
Leaking? Xie Lingya also looked up.
He had asked Shi Changxuan to open his eyes, so he didn’t even have to draw the spiritual eyes to prevent him from alerting others.
Looking up, he saw a woman hanging on the high ceiling of the large suite. Her neck was limp, as if her neck bones had been broken. Her head was almost pressed against her chest, her tongue was sticking out, and her saliva was dripping with evil energy. Tick tock… it was dripping right on the forehead of the bewildered bodyguard.
“…” Xie Lingya suddenly felt nauseous. Damn it, this was less civilized than spitting. You are a female ghost, so why are you so uncouth!
