Chapter 159 Vigil

That afternoon, Yang Chen, I, his grandfather, and the three of us came to the man's new house and prepared to watch.

The three of us, plus that person, had only four people in total. As for the workers during the day, naturally no one was willing to take risks. Even if someone was curious, he was already scared by the scene during the day and did not dare to come.

Only then did I realize that the man was nicknamed Xu Laogen. He has always had a good reputation in the village and is also a good person. He has always respected Yang Chen's family, so when he came to ask for help, Grandpa Yang Chen didn't have the nerve to refuse him.

As for my friend Yang Chen, Grandpa Yang Chen did not show much. Yang Chen and I helped him watch the night. He seemed to think it was very normal. He didn't say anything, but just told us to be smarter at night and do everything according to his instructions.

I thought to myself, maybe this mysterious old man would have known who I am long ago.

That afternoon, Xu Laogen had someone to have someone get on the new beam again. At this time, he was steadily placed on the room. Everything seemed to be normal. Grandpa Yang Chen walked around the house for a few times, and then used the jujube compass to measure it. There seemed to be nothing abnormal. So he put away the compass and sat in the room with us, quietly waiting for darkness.

The doors and windows of this house were not yet on. At the suggestion and request of Grandpa Yang Chen, Xu Laogen found someone and spent an afternoon to keep the doors and windows in a row, but there was no time to install glass, so he simply covered the doors and windows with plastic cloth, nailed them firmly with nails, and covered the entire beam of the house. Grandpa Yang Chen said, "Don't look at the simple plastic cloth, it is not within the five elements, and can isolate the yin and yang."

Plastic cloth can isolate yin and yang, and this statement is really fresh. Grandpa Yang Chen took out some tool materials from the box and slowly started to tinker with it. Yang Chen and I were sitting aside, looking at some gadgets that gradually appeared in the old man's hand, while nervously watching the darker sky outside.

The wind gradually blew outside, blew the plastic sheet, making a rustling sound, endless, making people feel a little furious. Xu Laogen sat aside with his legs in his arms, not knowing whether it was cold or scared, and his whole body was shaking slightly.

I glanced at Grandpa Yang Chen and thought that this old man would really be in line with the situation. At this time, he asked people to make a bunch of plastic cloth to scare people, but this plastic cloth was also beneficial. It was late autumn and early winter, and the cold wind was whistling in the middle of the night. If it weren't for the plastic cloth blocking the wind, it would have been frozen to death.

The sky gradually became darker. Looking at the time, it was already past eight o'clock. Xu Laogen took out a bottle of white wine from his pocket, took two sips, and became much more energetic. He handed it to Grandpa Yang Chen again. We took a few sips in turn, and it was indeed much warmer. Yang Chen smacked his lips and smiled and said, "It would be great if I had some food."

Grandpa Yang Chen laughed loudly. After a few sips of wine, others became energetic. His face turned slightly red, and even his wrinkles seemed to be stretched out.

He laughed a few times, then took out a stack of talisman paper from the box and handed it to both of us, and told us to paste the four walls and doors of the house with talisman paper, as well as the beams and the ground under his feet, covering it 360 degrees in all directions.

We both acted as we said, sticking the whole house as if we were celebrating the New Year. Xu Laogen took out another candle from his arms and wanted to light it. Grandpa Yang Chen quickly stopped him and said that if there was a fire, the thing would probably not come out.

In this way, we sat in the dark, waiting quietly. A bottle of wine was passed by and soon we drank all the food. Until nearly ten o'clock in the evening, there was still no movement around us.

Yang Chen couldn't sit still anymore and asked his grandfather quietly how long he had to wait?

Grandpa Yang Chen shook his head without answering. After a while, he suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed to the beam.

We hurriedly looked up, but found no abnormalities. Just as we were about to ask, Xu Laogen suddenly screamed strangely, fell to the ground, pointed out the window, and trembled like a sieve.

I thought it was not good, so I rushed to the window and looked out, but there was still nothing. Yang Chen helped Xu Laogen up and asked him in a low voice what he saw, but Xu Laogen just shivered, his face as paper as before, and after a while, he spit out a few words: Ghost, Ghost...

Ghost? I was puzzled, where is this ghost? Why didn’t I see it? Yang Chen and I looked at each other and shook their heads. Obviously, he didn’t see it either.

Looking at Grandpa Yang Chen again, he was still sitting there, motionless, and slowly said, "I scare myself, where did the ghost come from? I just let you pay attention to the roof. Young people, what should come will come, don't panic, if you have the ability, just let it break in."

I felt ashamed that after experiencing so many things, I still couldn't hold back. Looking at the old man, he was as stable as Mount Tai. This is the style of everyone.

Thinking of this, I sat down, gently placed my palm on the Qiankun bag, and when I saw that the opportunity was not good, I would take action immediately.

We all calmed down, only Xu Laogen was restless there. Grandpa Yang Chen didn't even open his eyes, and just half open and half closed, his hands huddled in his sleeves, as if he was dozing off.

But I know that this seemingly confused old man could burst out with amazing power at any time and use shocking spells.

Time passed little by little, and the air around me gradually became colder. I focused and stared at the window on my wall. The wind was gusts outside, and the plastic sheet was still ringing loudly. Under the moonlight outside, countless ghosts seemed to sway around, surrounding the house from all directions, but I knew that it was just a shadow of trees outside.

But the atmosphere was really terrifying. I was puzzled secretly when I suddenly heard a creaking sound from the window outside, as if someone was stepping on the gravel outside and slowly approaching here...

Yang Chen naturally heard the sound. He stared out the window with all his attention and suddenly shouted: "There is there!"

I immediately turned my head and looked in his direction. I saw a black shadow suddenly flashing outside the window, and then disappeared. Yang Chen's eyes were round and suddenly pointed in another direction, shouting: "Where!"

I turned my head again. Sure enough, a black shadow flashed outside the window, but I couldn't see what it was. Then, Yang Chen kept shouting: "There, there, there, there..." He shouted more than ten times in one breath. We walked around the room several times, but we felt dizzy, but we were still not as fast as the black shadow.

I was also annoyed and shouted, "Don't shout, no matter where the thing is, we both look at one direction. If it only pretends to be a ghost outside, that's fine. As long as we dare to rush in, we want it to look good!"

Yang Chen shouted ok, turned around and picked up a wooden spear from the ground, grinned at his grandfather, and said, "Grandpa, I will use your spear to kill demons and eliminate demons!"

As he said that, he grabbed another big knife and handed it to me, "Come on, try this. Don't look at it without sharp blades. Cutting ghosts is like cutting tofu, it's easy to keep."

I took it and weighed it in my hand. The wooden sword was quite heavy when I weighed it. And in my eyes, there was a layer of black light on it. It was definitely not an ordinary wooden sword. Not to mention cutting ghosts, I guess it would be easy to cut people.

But I thought about it and took my heart to pick up a dagger from the ground, and handed it to Xu Laogen with a smile and said, "You always hold this. Can you use it? At least you can be brave enough. If it is a critical moment, you will stab it all the time."

Xu Laogen took it with a bitter face, opened his mouth and was about to say something, but suddenly his face changed drastically, pointing behind me, and he couldn't speak.

I felt a sudden turn, and I saw a red-haired and red-bearded ghost head lying on the window. The one was as big as a dustpan, filling the entire window with eyes wide open, like a pair of copper bells, shining with green light, and peeking into the house.
