Dragon Seeker

The night gradually enveloped the earth.

I gradually began to feel abnormal.

At first, I just felt the bone-chilling cold. The coldness had nothing to do with the weather. It came from my bones and penetrated my limbs, making my body gradually numb, as if it didn't belong to me.

Moreover, my skin became whiter and whiter, and in the end it was almost transparent.

When the last ray of light between heaven and earth was swallowed by darkness, my hands turned pale...

"Sure enough, it turned back again."

I sighed and didn't dare to look in the mirror. Although it was not the first time I turned into a paper man, this time I witnessed the process with my own eyes, which was really scary.

Zhang Xinya glanced through the rearview mirror in the car and happened to see me like this. Her hands trembled, and the car swayed back and forth on the highway, almost hitting the guardrail directly. Fortunately, there were no vehicles at this time, otherwise a tragic traffic accident would probably be unavoidable.

"Although it's not the first time I've seen it, I just can't get used to it..."

Zhang Xinya shook her head, wanting to describe her inner feelings, but she couldn't say it. She looked very sour and said, "But, can you move aside? I can't help but want to kill you when I see you. You'll always be hairy if you don't die."

I hurriedly moved aside, not to listen to Zhang Xinya, but because there was a Zhang Daoxuan sitting next to me. This person had an indescribable aura, which was inexplicable and invisible, but it really existed, just like an aura. When I turned into a paper man, I felt it particularly strongly, which made me tremble with fear. I instinctively felt that it would be safer to stay away from him.

Fortunately, Zhang Daoxuan didn't say anything, and he didn't even bother to look at me.

When we returned to Taiyuan, it was already midnight, but we didn't return to the store. Instead, we went straight to a high-end residential area not far from Fenhe Park under the command of Zhang Daoxuan.

He came here, of course, to help him with something.

In Zhang Daoxuan's words, the way of all things is balance, and balance is when there is no loss or debt. The trouble I caused was my calamity. He and I have no relatives. Although he helped me resolve it while saving his niece, I still owed him. Since I owed him, I had to pay it back. Helping him with this matter was the way of heaven.

Those words were very mysterious, and my understanding was limited. The only things I knew were what my father told me accidentally.

He once mentioned to me that true Taoists pay attention to tranquility and inaction. Every Taoist has a scale in his heart, one side is filled with his own Taoist heart, and the other side is filled with the common people. In troubled times, he saves people and in prosperous times, he retreats to cultivate his mind. To say that he really has the ability, but his temper is very strange. Now is a prosperous time. Most Taoists have become idle clouds and wild cranes. Only a very few will choose to enter the world at special times to resolve some things, but not for money, it seems to be for the Taoist heart, to resolve some things in the dark. My father's words were vague, and I didn't understand them.

In short, if a real Taoist priest sees things, regardless of whether the person is rich or poor, he will take the job if it comes to him, but he will ask for compensation after the job is over. It may be a meal or something else, but never a high price, as if it is for balance, which is about the same as my situation at the moment.

My father said that the reason for asking for compensation is that they must have a legitimate reason to interfere with yin and yang, and being hired is a good excuse, otherwise the cause and effect is too great and they cannot afford it. The compensation is limited and never more, because it is to accumulate good deeds and calm the evil nature. If too much is asked, it will be bad to be stained with money.

I think Zhang Daoxuan is probably the kind of person who enters the world in a short period of time for some reasons. The things we have to deal with are not his own business, but the people who are destined to be with him.

I followed Zhang Daoxuan silently, looking at his back, thinking about him all the time. I don't know why, I always have a strong desire to explore him, as if it is a door. If I can push it open, I will see a whole new world.

Zhang Daoxuan naturally didn't know what I was thinking. He led the way silently in front of me. He was very familiar with it. It should not be his first time here. I couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. I didn't know what kind of thing could stump this man who even the ferryman didn't dare to challenge head-on.

Not long after, Zhang Daoxuan stopped under a residential building and turned to me and said, "Go up later. Listen to my instructions. Tell me what you see as soon as possible. Tonight, you are my eyes."

"What are you looking at?"

I couldn't help asking, "Are you looking at ghosts?"

At this point, I laughed. Now I am no different from a ghost. In front of these nephews and uncles, I am no different from a living person. There is no place to hide.

"It's probably not a ghost, but it could be a ghost."

Zhang Daoxuan sighed softly. It was the first time I saw such helplessness on his face. He said, "Ghosts and monsters always have some unknown means and are best at hiding. Even people like me can't see them. Sometimes even their own kind can't see them. They can only let whoever they want to see them."

After that, he went forward and contacted the victim's family through the unlocking phone.

I scratched my head. After he said that, I didn't quite understand. If I couldn't even see my own kind, then why did I come here?

"Don't ask, you'll know when you go upstairs!"

Zhang Xinya reminded me: "Although I haven't had any contact with this family, I know they have been looking for my uncle for a long time. My uncle is basically sure that there must be something unclean at work, but he has tried many methods and still can't confirm what it is. He hasn't even seen the other party. For this matter, my uncle went to Taiyuan several times, but there was no solution. It almost became his inner demon. Maybe... you let him think of a solution!"

While talking, Zhang Daoxuan had already contacted the victim. The door of the building opened, and he took us upstairs to find the victim's door.

The person who opened the door was a woman, about 30 years old, with dull eyes and looked very anxious. Both sides of her cheeks were deeply sunken, which showed that she had not been feeling well recently. However, after seeing Zhang Daoxuan, she was obviously relieved, and her eyes were bright. She said softly: "Sir, you came at the right time. The child kept crying tonight and I just coaxed him..."

While speaking, the woman stepped aside and hurriedly welcomed Zhang Daoxuan and Zhang Xinya in. She obviously couldn't see me. When I was about to go in, she happened to close the door. My big head was caught right in the middle. It was a typical head caught in the door. The force was so great that the door bounced open. The damage value was very high. Then she didn't give up. She said "eh" softly and blocked me in front of the door, ready to pull the door and clamp me again.

This scene almost made Zhang Xinya laugh to death, and her face turned red. Fortunately, she had a conscience and stopped the woman and pulled me into the room before closing the door.

This is a typical three-bedroom apartment. In addition to the woman, there are only her husband and child. The man looks older than the woman, holding a child who is at most eight or nine months old and crying with red cheeks.

After I entered the room, the child tilted his head and looked at me curiously, which made me feel moved. I knew that the child should be able to see me. The old saying is true. Some young children can really see ghosts and gods...

At this moment, I have roughly guessed the whole story from the conversation between Zhang Daoxuan and the couple.

The husband's name is Zhang Wei, and his wife's name is Wei Xin. The protagonist of the story is their child!

This child cries and makes a fuss every night, and cries very fiercely.

In fact, it is quite common for children to cry at night. The reason why this child has been crying at night since he was born is that he has been crying non-stop since he was born. Many parents should know that the early stage of a newborn's birth is the time when the brain develops. Except for eating, he basically sleeps day and night. At that time, crying non-stop is considered an abnormal condition, which attracted the couple's attention early.

At first, they suspected that the child was sick, and took him to many hospitals and consulted many doctors. However, both the pregnancy check-up and the hospital check-up of the child showed that this was a very healthy baby.

Later, they accidentally heard from the aunt in the community that if a child cries non-stop at night, it is very likely that he has encountered something unclean. After all, the child's yang energy is weak and it is very easy to get involved with these things.

At that time, the couple began to believe and doubt, and as the child grew up, some strange things did happen.

For example, when the child's intelligence was just beginning, he would always smile inexplicably at a place, and even dance.

For example, footsteps can always be heard in the bathroom at home. Moreover, the steamed rice made from the same rice is sometimes delicious, but sometimes... it tastes like chewing wax, without any taste!

These strange things happened one after another, and the couple finally began to take it seriously. They were from a wealthy family and had good connections. They asked around and finally found Zhang Daoxuan.

With these premises, I can be sure that this is probably a fight without Zhang Daoxuan saying anything. The fact that the rice suddenly tasted like chewing wax is enough to determine it.

As far as I know, ghosts and gods do not really eat, but eat the essence in the food. If they suck the essence out of it, the rice will naturally have an empty form. In fact, all the essence has been lost, and the fragrance and nutrition are gone, leaving only the dregs.

At this time, Zhang Daoxuan chatted with the couple for a few words, then suddenly looked at me and winked.

I naturally knew what he meant. I had already walked around the whole house, but I didn't find anything, so I shook my head at him!

Zhang Daoxuan's eyes became deep, and he turned his head and whispered a few words to the couple. After a moment, Zhang Wei finally put the child on the sofa, went to the bedroom with his wife, closed the door, and completely handed the place over to Zhang Daoxuan, which shows that they trust Zhang Daoxuan very much.

"What should we do now?"

As soon as the couple left, I had no more scruples and asked, "Did that thing run away?"

"No, if he was really afraid of me, he would have stopped long ago and would not continue to pester me here."

Zhang Daoxuan sighed, "If even you can't see it, I guess only this child can see it. Will you... possess it?"

"I think so?"

I wasn't sure, so I asked, "Should I lift him up from behind and keep a three-inch distance from him?"

"That's possession, possession and possession are different."

Zhang Daoxuan said, "The so-called possession is that the Yin person takes advantage of the Yang person's unpreparedness and instantly attacks the other person from behind, using the tiptoes to lift the other person's feet, which is equivalent to lifting the other person and controlling him. In the final analysis, it is controlling a physical body. And the possession is that you get directly into the child's body, almost merge with this body, and can see what he sees and feel everything he feels!"

I roughly understood what Zhang Daoxuan wanted me to do. Did he want to find that thing directly in this way?

"But... I can't possess someone!"

I smiled bitterly and said, "It seems that this is more difficult than possessing someone. Besides, this is a child. I won't hurt him, will I?"

"No, I'm here, so I'll keep this child safe."

Zhang Daoxuan shook his head: "If this is an adult, it would be really difficult for you to possess him. You have to fight with his will and destroy his will. You can only enter his body when he is in a trance. But this is a child. You just need to look at him seriously for a moment. This is why such dirty things like to find children. They are not soul-complete, too weak, and easy to attack!"

"I'll try first..."

I couldn't help but murmur in my heart, and I was a little resistant to this kind of thing. In my consciousness, I was still a living person, but I had to do things that only ghosts and monsters could do. I always felt weird, but under Zhang Daoxuan's sharp gaze, I had to endure it no matter how much I was unwilling, and walked towards the child step by step.

The child didn't cry at this time. His big black eyes stared at me and occasionally smiled at me. His innocent look made me feel guilty. After hesitating for a long time, I finally raised my head and looked into the child's eyes.

At this time, a sense of creepiness suddenly enveloped me for no reason. The next moment, a strange force descended on my neck without any warning.

Zhang Daoxuan may have seen something, frowned and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

I was stretched straight, feeling the force behind my neck, and it was very uncomfortable. I slowly turned my head and said to Zhang Daoxuan with some difficulty, "Someone... is pulling me from behind!"

Snap!

As soon as I finished speaking, a crisp sound came from my right face. The intense stinging made my soul tremble, and I stumbled to the side.

The movement was too loud. Not only me, but also Zhang Daoxuan and Zhang Xinya could hear it clearly.

"Who the hell slapped me?!"

I covered my face. I didn't hit people in the face. I was a little scared for a while after being slapped for no reason. I was really not afraid of anything when I got stronger. I yelled: "Get out if you dare!"

However, there was no movement around.

Zhang Xinya's face was very strange. She pointed at my face and said: "There is a shoe sole mark on your face..."
