I won't even mention how much I despise this guy, he can still talk so eloquently while wanting to take a shower.
"Whatever." Jingfeng shook his head and said, "What a bloody disappointment. Whatever, let's go find that practitioner."
As he spoke, Jingfeng took out his compass, and I also leaned in to take a closer look.
Before, I hadn't carefully looked at this compass. Now that I take a look, the entire body of the compass is pitch black, with the Eight Trigrams of the Qian and Kun engraved in the middle. In the middle, there's also a red pointer. At this moment, the pointer is always pointing towards one direction in the south, just like a compass.
"Liu Shifu's stuff is really useful." Jingfeng chuckled and said: "Let's go."
"Are we going just the two of us?" I pulled a sudden gust and asked: "What if that guy is very fierce, otherwise we'll report to the police first and take the police over, how about that?"
I still feel that police officers are all-powerful, anyway I think it's just me and Jing Feng who are going to a very dangerous place.
I won't say anything, he's just a complete newbie, can't even draw talismans properly, let alone summon wind. I might have thought he was some kind of master before, but based on his performance over the past two days, he's probably all hype and just a half-baked expert.
He can handle a zombie or two, but I'm worried he won't be able to deal with that caster.
"What's wrong?" Jingfeng turned his head and glared at me, "It's better if it's just the two of us taking action. If a bunch of people go over there, that guy will have already discovered and run away. Don't worry, I can handle him. If I couldn't handle him, wouldn't I be looking for death?"
"If you're afraid, you can choose not to follow me, but I'm telling you, the path of learning is like this - the more you fear, the less progress you'll make. At this rate, it's not just three years, even if I give you thirty years, you may still not be able to find a master of medicine."
After finishing speaking, Jingfeng hailed a taxi. I hesitated for a moment and followed him in. Not to mention anything else, his last sentence was also threatening my life, so I had no choice but to follow him.
After getting on the car, I thought carefully about what Xingfeng said earlier, and it actually makes sense. Now I'm afraid of this and that, how can I catch ghosts and demons in the future? How do I dispel this evil spirit from my body?
After getting on the taxi, Jingfeng was guiding the way in front, and I was holding that mountain book behind him, studying it hard.
After about an hour, the driver was stopped by a traffic police. I paid and got off with him. Looking around, it seemed that we were already in a small town on the outskirts of Chengdu.
It's already 7 o'clock in the evening, and there are very few pedestrians on the streets of the small town. After all, it's not within the Chengdu city area. Surprised and frowning at the compass, he pointed to a very large hotel: "It should be inside."
"What's next? Are we going in directly?" I asked.
"You're stupid." Jingfeng pulled out two 1-meter-long yellow peach wood swords from his backpack and handed one to me, saying: "This practitioner's magical power is very high, be careful when you go in."
Then a bottle of Ox Tears was handed over to me, I took the Ox Tears and applied it to my eyelids, a cool feeling came from my eyelids.
"After I go in, I'll find the one who's performing the ritual. When the time is right, I'll rush in and capture him. You just wait outside the door. If he tries to run out, you can stop him." Surprisingly, I asked, "Is it that simple?"
"Don't think too much of these things, the practitioner is just like you, an ordinary person, only knowing some evil skills. His physical quality may not be as good as yours. Who cares about his evil skills? Just rush in and beat him up, then tie him up and throw him into the police station." After saying that, Jingfeng took the lead and walked in first.
We entered the hotel and two reception ladies immediately came over to ask: "Sir, are you here to book a room?"
"Find a friend." Xingfeng said casually, then looked at the compass and led me upstairs.
Jingfeng kept his head down and looked at the compass, took the elevator to the third floor, then pointed to a room in the corner of the corridor and whispered to me: "It's that 330."
I swallowed hard, feeling a little nervous. After all, this time I was up against someone who knew dark magic and could kill people - fundamentally different from the female ghost I had encountered before.
I and Jingfeng almost tiptoed to the door of 330, Jingfeng took out a yellow talisman and stuck it on the door, whispering: "Decree!"
He picked up the yellow talisman and it flashed a faint yellow light, then it was as if nothing had happened.
As expected, it was here. Jingfeng's eyebrows rose in surprise as the door to room 330 suddenly opened. The one who opened the door was surprisingly the forty or fifty-year-old man dressed as a laborer who had tried to sell Xiaoxi hair clips earlier. He revealed his yellow teeth and smiled at us: "Do you two bosses have any business?"
"Looking for you to ask something." Jingfeng took a look and was discovered, also smiled, and directly walked in. I also hurriedly followed up.
The migrant worker who was dressed up didn't stop us, instead he welcomed us in. As soon as we entered, he smiled and said: "My name is Huang Jianqiang, you can just call me Ah Qiang, sit down, this hotel's sofa is quite big, it feels good to have money."
As he said this, Huang Jianqiang sat down on the sofa in the hotel lobby. I and Jingfeng also sat down opposite him.
"Alright, we have different paths and shouldn't be plotting together. Let's not waste words. No matter what grudges you hold against Deputy Director Yang, involving a child is going too far." Jing Feng furrowed his brow and said: "Hand over that straw man."
"Why don't you two listen to me first?" Huang Jianqiang said with a smile, "I don't want to harm that child either."
"My name is Huang Jianqiang, my brother's name is Huang Jianwei, we are both Miao people. We originally came to the big city to see the world and work. Although we learned those harmful things in elementary school, neither I nor my brother have ever used them, only for self-defense." Huang Jianqiang said: "But a month ago, my brother had an accident at the construction site, originally it was just an injury to one arm, at most it would be amputated..."
I looked at this guy, is there something hidden in it?
Huang Jianqiang continued: "At that time, my brother only needed emergency treatment and there would have been no problem. However, a rich person came afterwards who just had a cold. Yang, the deputy director of the hospital, who was supposed to perform surgery on my brother, went to accompany the rich person instead, saying that my brother should wait."
"My family was poor, my brother and I grew up together from a young age. When we were kids, we couldn't afford to eat, just a piece of dry bread, which I wouldn't even dare to eat myself, but had to give it to my brother." As Huang Jianqiang spoke, a hint of resentment flashed in his eyes: "That Deputy Director Yang told us to wait, that rich person was just a minor case with a cough and some fever. But then this Deputy Director Yang spent over two hours chatting with the rich person in his office, even personally escorting him to the hospital entrance. By the time he came back to prepare for my brother's surgery, it was too late."
Huang Jianqiang slammed his hand on the table and then grabbed his hair, bursting into tears: "At that time, I was already kneeling in front of those doctors, begging them to save my brother. But they said it was Vice President Yang's patient, and if they performed surgery, it would be against the rules. What rules? Weren't they just afraid of offending Vice President Yang? For the sake of so-called empty and vague rules, I watched as my brother bled to death, I watched him die right before my eyes."
Huang Jianqiang, a big man, also cried with a broken heart, wailing loudly. To be honest, seeing such a big man cry like this made me feel uncomfortable too. Xing Feng Ge was the same, both of them were infected by Huang Jianqiang's emotions.
Huang Jianqiang cried as he spoke: "I still remember that before my brother died, he tightly grasped my hand and asked me, 'Brother, when will you take me home? I miss home so much. Even in death, I only want to return to our Miao village's peaceful countryside, not stay in this seemingly prosperous but actually dirty and ugly city.'"
"Brother, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have brought you to this city." Huang Jianqiang wailed, hugging his own head and muttering to himself: "Brother, I'll take you home soon, but I want Vice Director Yang's family to go down with you. It's too lonely for one person on the road to the underworld, it needs some company."
"Brother, I miss you so much." Huang Jianqiang cried in front of me and Jingfeng as if we were not his enemies at all, but rather confidants.
"Damn it!" The storm slapped the table and scolded: "He's a bastard, I didn't expect that guy to look so decent but turned out to be such a scumbag."
I said, "Although I've heard about this matter and also want to beat that Deputy Director Yang, but now is not the time to let emotions get the better of us. I quickly said: 'Uncle Huang, isn't that right? I can understand your feelings, but this has nothing to do with Little Xi, a young girl. If you want to take revenge on Deputy Director Yang, I guarantee I won't stop you, but a little girl is innocent.'"
"Alright, hand over the scarecrow. As long as you don't harm that little girl and others, go ahead and take revenge on Deputy Director Yang if you want to. If we stop you, then we're turtles." Xingfeng Ge nodded and said.
"Didn't you hear what I just said?" Huang Jianqiang raised his head, coldly staring at me and Jingfeng: "I want that son of a bitch to bury my brother with his whole family, and the little girl too. If you two want to stop me, then go with my brother."
As soon as he finished speaking, suddenly, the temperature around him dropped instantly, and he felt as if something was leaning on his shoulder from behind.
