The brief confrontation between the master and the disciple did not attract the attention of others. Kuang Zhiming and his wife were still carefully examining the pool of blood.
Wei Xi vaguely heard the sound of them analyzing the shape and smell of the bloodstains, and they all said that it did not look like the work of an evil ghost. As soon as he heard that it was not an evil ghost, he immediately lost interest in the matter. He withdrew his dissatisfied gaze from the second disciple, looked around the scene, and suddenly felt something strange.
He called over Bai Hao who was following Tuan Tuanyi and asked, “You said before that many accidents happened during the construction of this building?”
Bai Hao nodded, “That’s right. It took a lot of effort for our company to get such a good project approved. If there was no other way, who would be willing to leave it unused? The builder we found was a well-known foreign company, but there has been no peace since the construction began. At the beginning, workers were injured when digging the foundation and breaking the piles. Later, the construction period was delayed. Either the scaffolding was inexplicably loose, or the steel bars on the crane fell down for no reason, and people almost died several times. Now that it has been a long time, no one probably remembers it. At the beginning, it was on the local news every now and then, causing our construction site to be raided by relevant units every now and then. Later, the counterparts said that this might be the work of demons and recommended us a famous master. He spent a lot of money to come here to perform rituals to exorcise the ghosts, and also sold us two door gods, saying that if placed at the entrance of the construction site, it would be immune to evil spirits. It turned out that he was a liar and was useless.”
Wei Xi frowned when he heard this. What Bai Hao said was indeed not normal. According to the logic that Wei Dedao had taught him before, there must be something wrong with the feng shui or it had conflicted with some evil spirit.
Although this unfinished building looked eerie in the dark, there was really nothing wrong with its design.
However, Wei Xi put it aside after thinking about it for a moment. His original intention of coming here was just to confirm the innocence of his own sect. Firstly, Bai Hao was not a member of Taicang Sect. Secondly, the ritual was held in Liandu Temple, which had nothing to do with Taicang Sect, and he was not his client.
As a result, Bai Hao pestered him and asked: “Master Wei, you ask me these questions, is there any way to solve them?”
Wei Xi glanced at him, then thought that although this man was not a member, he was also the future landlord of his employees, so he did not refuse outright.
He looked around and saw the second disciple leaning against a concrete pile not far away, staring at him with an indiscernible expression. After thinking for a moment, he called the other disciple, “Tuanyi, go help Fellow Daoist Kuang later.”
Although the second disciple Lu Que was unruly, his professional knowledge that he showed during his time was undoubtedly very solid. Compared with this little disciple, the performance of the eldest disciple he accepted at the beginning was much worse in various projects, and his learning ability was poor. He was forced only to learn two talismans after being taught by his junior brother for so long. He didn’t know how far this child had realized, so he took this opportunity to test him.
Tuan Tuanyi had been doing business in hiding recently, and he couldn’t help but feel a little scared when he heard his master’s instructions. However, Bai Hao now unconditionally believed in this Taoist temple with hundreds of employees, and he had great trust in the candidate chosen by Wei Xi and immediately grabbed his arm tightly.
Coincidentally, Kuang Zhiming and his wife had also discussed the result. The group had stayed here for so long, but no ghosts related to Xiao Ke’s fall from the building had come out to harass them. It seemed that they had to take the initiative.
To exorcise evil spirits, one must first know what the evil spirit was. The couple was very alert and chose a suitable location. They laid out the magic tools they brought in order, sprinkled a handful of glutinous rice on the open space in front, and began to chant.
They were from the Lushan Taoist sect and had a method of scattering rice to ward off evil spirits. Although the things they used were simple, the rituals were quite elaborate, so they looked like masters.
Bai Hao was obviously stunned. He put his hands together and muttered to the rice: “Amitabha, may the Infinite Heavenly Venerable bless this matter to pass safely and the building project to be constructed smoothly. Amen, Amen…”
When Kuang Zhiming and his wife heard his mumbling, they couldn’t help but turn their heads to look at him. Before they could decide whether to correct him, they heard a strange rustling coming from the direction of the rooftop.
The voice was urgent and small and came suddenly. Before anyone could react, it was followed by a sound of breaking through the air!
Everyone’s expressions froze and they subconsciously looked up. In the darkness, they saw an unidentified object falling from a great height at a high speed, right towards where Bai Hao was!
Wei Xi was standing next to Bai Hao. He narrowed his eyes when he saw this and was about to dodge, but then he remembered that his eldest disciple was also there. In less than half a second, he saw a figure approaching from the corner of his eye. Then there was a crisp sound of metal colliding with stone, and the falling object was kicked away by someone and hit the ground.
The discarded safety helmet emitted a cloud of dust and then spun twice on the ground.
Kuang Zhiming and the others looked in astonishment at the Taicang Sect’s second disciple who suddenly appeared and kicked away the falling object with a frighteningly ugly face. Before they could figure out how unrealistic the speed of this young man’s flying rush and his nearly two-meter jumping ability were, Wei Xi was the first to fly into a rage. How could this be possible? How dare this lonely ghost dare to touch the Tai Sui! What if he hurt his two precious disciples!
He no longer stood by and watched just because he did not receive the money. He stepped forward and snatched the rice bag that Kuang Zhiming was holding, grabbed a handful of rice and threw it viciously into the darkness, cursing loudly: “Who is the bast**d who threw that thing! If you know what’s best for you, come out and get yourself killed!”
Bai Hao stared at his actions in amazement, feeling that something was wrong. Just now, Master Kuang had to chant an incantation and follow the procedure while scattering the rice. So, could Master Wei scatter the rice while cursing?
Kuang Zhiming also tried to stop them. How could you scatter rice like this to exorcise evil spirits? “Friend Wei, please be rational. It’s useless to scatter rice like this—”
Before he could finish his words, he heard cries of pain coming from the darkness – “Ah …
Kuang Zhiming: “…”
Bai Hao had been in trouble a few days ago, so his temper was weak. He also heard it at the same time. So, he immediately took two steps back in amazement: “What the hell! What the hell!!”
