Chapter 15 Preparation
"What?" Xu Fan raised his eyebrows.
"Let's stay here tonight to see if there is anything you can come." Zhang Tianxing said with a slightly pale face.
"Oh? It sounds very exciting." Xu Fan thought for a moment and said excitedly.
Just now, Xu Fan was hesitating whether to share information with Zhang Tianxing, but if this was the case, he would be afraid that his identity would be exposed, and the good show would not be able to continue watching. Moreover, the mission required to investigate as a "hiker", which restricted Xu Fan's actions.
In Xu Fan's opinion, as long as this incident does not harm the lives of the surrounding people, he will have nothing to worry about, and he is happy to watch the show. However, until now, he is increasingly eager to enter the game.
"Are you sure there is a way to determine if there is anything in the wall?" Xu Fan questioned for the last time.
"Trust me, no problem."
Zhang Tianxing patted his thin chest and slapped the wide Taoist robe.
Judging from his child's appearance, Xu Fan really didn't know how his master dared to throw him into this place of right and wrong.
The painter's death is by no means as simple as it seems, he has a premonition.
"Then let's check it in tonight, but we need to make some preparations. If people who go inside often are not people, tsk."
Zhang Tianxing himself was also a little excited. After all, he had been with his master for so long, but he never had the chance to see with his own eyes what these dirty things looked like.
Afterwards, he did not explain anything to Xu Fan, but ran to ask the owner that he borrowed two quilts and ten candles, and then called the owner and another man to come to the only faucet from there with the quilt.
When the owner heard that the two were going to live there tonight, he was worried.
"Don't worry, I'm a professional, and it's okay for him to protect me. Please find someone to soak these two quilts in water. Remember, you must be soaked, and you can dry it at that time anyway."
Zhang Tianxing said to the surprised master.
"You must soak these two quilts before we go in tonight, otherwise we will be in danger. If it really doesn't work, I will buy you two more quilts, okay?" Seeing the man's face full of distress, Xu Fan said.
"You said that, don't buy new ones. We will definitely do what Master Zhang said, don't worry."
The owner saw Xu Fan's dissatisfaction and quickly poked the man with a heartache and looked at him with a warning.
"But why is the Taoist priest doing this?" The owner couldn't help it after all.
"Well, water belongs to Yin, which can block part of Yin Qi. We are going to live in that earthen house tonight to see if there is anything... In short, it is useful, be sure to prepare."
Zhang Tianxing was quite kind after all, and was afraid that the villagers would think randomly, so he didn't finish his words.
After making up their minds, the two of them worked hard for a day and finally got idle. Now they are waiting to move into this dirt house in the middle of the night to see if there is really something dirty. Maybe they can get some clues about the painter's death.
Zhang Tianxing felt that in addition to the mysterious origin of this "Chen Zhen", he was quite good, bold and meticulous. The most important thing was that he did not look at himself with tinted glasses like those ordinary people.
After the owner's meal, Xu Fan and Zhang Tianxing sat on the stone pier outside the house, counting the stars leisurely. It was just around 8 o'clock in the evening.
The stars in the sky are like deep bottomless pits. They want to suck all the minds of people. They are beautiful and clean.
Such brilliance and density are absolutely impossible to see in the city.
Xu Fan was very interesting to see, but Zhang Tianxing felt a little moved.
"You said, under such a beautiful night sky, how many innocent ordinary people die from these dirty things every day?" Zhang Tianxing touched Xiao Hei who was lying beside him, murmured with his head tilted.
Xiao Hei was completely out of war under the temptation of someone's bite of meat.
"How do I know? I am just an ordinary person. Maybe I will die in some woods one day." Xu Fan said with a lewd smile.
"Little Grove?" Zhang Tianxing looked innocent.
Xu Fan seemed to have never expected that he didn't even know the little shrub. Then he thought, this guy should have stayed in the mountain, never went to school, and lived that kind of seclusion.
"You haven't gone to school?" Xu Fan asked.
Zhang Tianxing shook his head gently: "No, I am an orphan. I have been brought back by my master since I was a child and raised in the mountains."
Xu Fan didn't expect that this little guy was actually an orphan. He looked like he was not short of love and was quite lively.
"Which mountain is yours?" Xu Fan didn't want to hear any stories like a tragic childhood that made people upset, so he had to change the topic.
"Wudang."
"Uh... I thought you were an abandoned disciple of a pheasant sect and were thrown into this broken place to die for yourself." Xu Fan sarcastically expressed his true thoughts.
"You are a person who speaks very wrong. Are you also an orphan?" Zhang Tianxing was not affected by what he said at all, and asked instead.
"Where are I orphans? Hello, don't discriminate against orphans."
"You are a little distorted. You are not afraid of haunted houses. You are alone with a dog swaying in the mountains in the middle of the night, and even calling yourself Chen Zhen. Why don't you call Jackie Chan?"
"As soon as I heard that I was an orphan, I quickly changed the subject. What's wrong with an orphan? I'm a flower that grew up under the care of my master and many senior brothers, okay? Do I look very fragile?"
"I just came out bravely to experience it, and I was abandoned by others? I had a solid foundation and a brilliant mind, so why did I die by myself?"
"Also, I'm an orphan. Should you show a hint of sympathy or concern? Nothing at all. I saw your impatient expression when I just said I was an orphan. I was afraid that I would complain to you and then change the topic, right?"
"You really have a problem with this kind of synthesis? Also, why don't you want to say your name? Is it tiring to live timidly?"
Xu Fan grinned and listened to the little guy's complaints, feeling very interesting inexplicably.
Seeing that Xu Fan was just laughing and not talking, Zhang Tianxing stopped when he was satisfied.
The atmosphere was a little dull for a moment.
"I am also an orphan." Xu Fan suddenly said softly.
"Oh? My own people," Zhang Tianxing was a little surprised, but he was very kind, and immediately said again, "There is nothing wrong with orphans, at least they don't care, right? People without concerns have no weaknesses."
Xu Fan remained silent and looked straight at the starry sky.
"What's your name?" Zhang Tianxing suddenly asked after a long time.
"I said it all, my name is Xu Xian, you don't believe it." Xu Fan said with a sincere look.
"Damn, your name is Xu Xian?" Zhang Tianxing exclaimed incredible expression.
"Of course I lied to you, my name is Chen Zhen."
"Why don't you say your name is Bruce Lee?"
"I'll fight! Bruce Lee is my idol."
