Chapter 8 Amulet
Ruan Zhan was smashed from the bed at 6 o'clock in the morning.
At this time of day, he had just cleaned the bar and went to bed shortly after sleeping, so he went downstairs and opened the door with barefoot, wearing only a pair of jeans. He knew that it was his only friend Wanli, but he didn't expect that he would still bring Yue Xiaoxia, who was only wearing pajamas.
"Take her in first, I'll pay the fare." Wanli pushed Xiao Xia into Ruan Zhan's arms without saying a word. Ruan Zhan then realized that the female lawyer who didn't say a word would not stand if no one helped her.
He couldn't help but feel very upset, knowing that this trouble had come to him, and it seemed that he could not escape it.
"What are you doing standing there? Didn't you see her fainting? Go upstairs." Wanli locked the door with his backhand and said to the two people standing by the bar. His tone was so rude that it would make people misunderstand that this was his home.
Ruan Zhan didn't say anything. Although he felt so angry that his teeth were itchy, he still acted as he said. In addition to the two separate rooms on the second floor, it was also used as a warehouse, and the stairs were relatively steep, which made him almost half-carry and deliver Xiao Xia safely. Then he looked at the busy things that were familiar with the road with a laissez-like attitude, and finally let Xiao Xia sleep on his bed.
"We need to talk." He walked over unbearably, reached out and drew a few words on Xiao Xia's eyebrows with a shocked face.
Xiao Xia was lying on the bed where Ruan Zhan's body temperature was still there, and she felt safe for a while. Now she made him write and draw on his forehead, and she felt itchy, and then she fell into a drowsy without warning.
"I seem to be forcing my business to buy and sell." Wanli smiled bitterly.
"It's very self-aware. You have practiced your acquaintances to the point of being perfect, and you have broken your promises."
"I'm sorry." Wanli apologized sincerely, "But if I had another choice, I would still do this."
"oh?"
"I have no choice."
"oh?"
"Why are you indifferent to anything? This is what she said." Wanli pointed at Xiao Xia who was sleeping.
"oh?"
"Don't oh oh, there are really ghosts that want to harm people, you must help me."
"I can't see why I'm going to help you 'must'."
"Then I beg you. We have been friends for many years, Azhan, don't really ignore me."
"Please?" Ruan Zhan dragged his voice meaningfully.
"Don't get me wrong." Wanli knew what he was thinking and explained: "I admit that I have a little more feelings for her than ordinary friends, but it is never as good as love. She-" Wanli looked at Xiaoxia's sleeping face, and a trace of sadness surged into her heart, "Just like Nana."
Ruan Zhan was stunned for a moment, "Nana has been dead for ten years. You are psychological compensation, useless. Besides, she doesn't look like her at all, so you must be dazzled."
"She has a similar personality and is in a similar situation now, so I don't want to be wrong anymore."
"Don't fool me! This person is impatient in doing things, can't help but be sensitive and willful. Which one is like Nana? Are you too good at being a good person or timid?"
Ruan Zhan's words made Wan Li laugh. "If you two are really soulmates! As soon as they met, they analyzed each other's shortcomings to a full extent, but unfortunately they couldn't see the advantages. Not to mention, they really felt like they were happy enemies."
"You traitorous bastard have the face to smile!"
Seeing Ruan Zhan's words become dirty and his emotions are out of control, Wanli knew that his old friend's position had loosened. He quickly struck while the iron was hot, "Forget it, just say whatever you want to scold me. You won't really be afraid of death, Ah Zhan?"
"What else do you do besides causing trouble for me?" Ruan Zhan cursed. Wenya, who was carefully maintained, was completely collapsed. "You know that I don't want to use that ability, but you still reveal that it is difficult for outsiders. You know that I never let women come here, but you let her occupy my bed openly. Are there any such friends in the world?"
"It's all mine, right? Then - are you willing to help?"
"Will I let me go if I refuse to help you?" Ruan Zhan finally accepted his fate, "But the ugly words are ahead, I will only help you, not her."
"What does this mean?"
"It means I'll help her once for your sake. If she provokes other ghosts, it's nothing to do with me."
"Okay, okay." Wanli agreed. Who is always provoking evil and filthy if you are fine!
"Now, tell me what happened last night, why is it so embarrassing?" Although he was unwilling, he had no place to sleep anyway, so Ruan Zhan had to inquire about the situation first, and at least he knew what he was going to deal with.
His questions made Wanli serious, which made Ruan Zhan realize that the problem was not very simple. Wanli had lived and died with him twice, and would not make a fuss when he saw a little strange phenomenon.
"I don't know what Xiaoxia experienced last night. When we came by a taxi in the morning, she didn't tell me anything. I only know that I encountered a ghost and a wall yesterday, and it was going to separate Xiaoxia from me. And before, we also encountered strange things in the hospital."
He told Ruan Zhan in detail about Xiaoxia's nightmare and murder case, and then talked about what happened at Xiaoxia's house. "At ten o'clock, I woke her up and was fine when I took medicine. Later, I fell asleep on the sofa in the living room. At about a little earlier, I heard her calling me loudly, and her voice was out of the way. Such a loud voice would definitely be far away at night, but strangely, no neighbors heard it. I was so anxious at the time, but I couldn't find where the door of her room was. Later, I couldn't hear any sound, as if I was in a vacuum environment. I used the method you taught me to recite the Qingming Mantra, and then pushed open everything with a little texture in one direction. As a result, I could only run from the living room to the outside of the door. I couldn't find Xiaoxia's door at all, and even the phone could not be reached. When I broke into the door at dawn, she had fainted for a long time. It should be noted that the door was locked from the inside, but Xiaoxia would not do that."
"Maybe this is her way to prevent perverts." Ruan Zhan joked casually, but he felt at ease. He walked to Xiao Xia, who was still sleeping, and reached out to her chest.
Wanli stopped him, "You are going to become a human wolf!"
Ruan Zhan ignored him and gently picked up the jade pendant on Xiao Xia's neck, "I'm sure that the thing wants to infringe on her, at least she wants to get on her body, but why is she safe?" He lowered his head and looked at the amulet of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, "Do you know where she got this treasure?"
Wanli thought for a while. "I heard that she was a parade in Wuhu, Anhui. An old monk said that she had the fate of Buddha and wisdom and gave it to her. She didn't like hanging things around her neck, so she gave it to her grandmother because she was a very devout Buddhist. Three years ago, her grandmother passed away, and she probably missed her too much, so she started wearing this and never left her body."
"So that's it." Ruan Zhan put Yu Guanyin back, "Do you know the Guangji Temple in Wuhu? The one worshipped there is Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. This is probably given to her by a person who has attained enlightenment. It has great spiritual power. In addition, there is also a strong mental power on it. I think her grandmother must love her very much. This very sincere wish has turned into a strong protective power, which is really rare. Now I understand why she encountered such a thing, and the yang fire can be weak but not extinguished."
"That means she won't have any trouble."
"Relatively, you should know that too strong ghost energy will pollute this kind of treasure, just as air pollution will harm the human body."
"You can't tell her about this, otherwise she will be unscrupulous."
"It has nothing to do with me." Ruan Zhan said while drawing a talisman between Xiaoxia's eyebrows, allowing her to wake up slowly. Then she began to ask what happened last night before she was fully awake. Her carefulness made Xiaoxia think that if she studied law, she would be the smartest lawyer.
"It said you are the sixth one?" Ruan Zhan asked.
"Yes." The scene still made her feel scared, "Is this because of my case?"
"Look at it again." Although it seems to be related to the murder of the family, it is not about dealing with people, and you cannot think based on common sense.
"Are you willing to help me?"
"I'm helping him. But I hope you don't tell me about this later, and it's the reward I want, okay?"
"Do you want her to swear?" Wanli interrupted.
"No. Someone has sworn, why wouldn't he betray me the same?"
