Chapter 14: Shrine
Xizi seemed a little panicked about Lu He's domineering declaration.
Her hair suddenly stood up, and she could even see some fine goose bumps on her skin.
After a while of ease, Xizi calmed down a little:
"You...you shouldn't have lied to me?"
Xizi still remained vigilant against Lu He:
"Actually, the so-called Pen Xian game just now is just your own hands moving, and there is no ghost involved at all?"
Lu He had no choice but to spread his hands: "Whatever you think."
"But you think, if it's just me who's doing it, then why can I find you here right away?"
"Besides, let alone a minute passed, even several minutes passed. Are you dead?"
"Oh..."
The previous series of frights made Xizi's nerves slow, so she looked a little cute.
Actually, if you think about it carefully, when you were young, Kotomi often pretended to be a ghost to scare the timid Kiko.
At that time, Xizi would always hide in this small coffin and "wait for death".
The main reason is that their family runs a shrine and often comes into contact with the sayings of gods and ghosts.
Therefore, under the influence of the eyes, Kiko and Kotomi also knew a way to avoid ghosts.
It is said that if you are really targeted by a ghost and you will never have any other good idea.
Then lie in the coffin and pretend to be dead. In that case, there may be a certain probability that the ghost will be considered dead and thus escape from the ghost's pursuit.
I was already scared by Kotomi since I was a child, but Kiko had already gotten used to it.
But Kiko never expected that even if Kotomi really turned into a ghost, she would still not forget to scare her!
This is really a pair of plastic sisters.
It was impossible for anyone other than her sister to think that she would hide here, so Xizi couldn't help but believe Lu He a little.
"Huh, okay, since it's my sister's request, you can live there..."
Niko breathed a sigh of relief and reluctantly agreed:
"But we have agreed that you can only live in the shrine and not be allowed to live in my house."
"In addition, I'm not allowed to attack me at night in the middle of the night!"
Looking at Xizi's expression that seemed to prevent perverts, Lu He said helplessly:
"Don't worry, with your sister watching me, how dare I?"
"That's right..."
Xizi felt relieved.
When the two of them had just walked out of the old house, Lu He couldn't help but squint his eyes as he looked at the sun above his head.
Speaking of which, this is the first time he has seen the sun in this world.
When Lu He was about to take a step away, Lu He suddenly felt something and felt a resentful look behind his back.
He turned his head subconsciously and saw the ghost Qinmei wearing a white robe, looking at him with some resentment at this moment.
At the same time, she pointed to an inconspicuous little corner at the door.
There, Lu He saw an old yellow talisman.
The talisman is carved with obscure spells, and its appearance looks very similar to the ones on TV.
After thinking about it, Lu He suddenly realized.
No wonder Kotomi stayed in this old house and didn't go out.
It turns out that because of this talisman, she couldn't get out at all!
Qinmei kept gestures telling Lu He that she was going out too!
Otherwise, Lu He would be the unfaithful man who abandoned her!
Without much hesitation, Lu He tore open the talisman at the door, allowing Qinmei to regain her freedom.
Anyway, this is just a game, at least in Lu He's opinion.
The decisions made in the game do not require Lu He to think too much.
"Did you post this talisman?"
Lu He took the talisman and turned to Xizi and asked.
Xizi shook her head in confusion: "Tactics? What kind of talisman?"
Seeing that she looked unaware, Lu He stopped asking more questions.
The two of them were a little bored walking on the shrine, after all, they were not very familiar with each other.
But Lu He didn't feel lonely along the way.
After all, there are the little girl Qinmei who is accompanying her along the way.
It's strange to say that although Qinmei is a ghost, she is not afraid of the sun.
The sun shines on Qinmi's body as if it penetrates the air.
Qin Mei kept wandering around Lu He, like a happy elf, which made Lu He feel a little better.
Soon, the two of them finally arrived at the destination of the trip.
"Uh...this is what you call a shrine?"
Lu He didn't really believe what he saw.
It is not wide, although it also has a slightly spacious courtyard.
But the entire shrine looks extremely desolate and broken, a bit like an abandoned old temple that often appears on TV.
Although it is not particularly exaggerated, it can be described as a terrible appearance just from the appearance.
Lu He even doubted that this could be a dangerous house, right?
It gives people a feeling of being shaky and likely to collapse at any time...
And there are not many incenses, and they don’t look like many people.
At least Lu He felt that it was not much different from the abandoned old house he lived in before.
As if he saw what Lu He was thinking, Xizi, who was leading the way, couldn't help but smile bitterly:
"Don't be disappointed, not all shrines are full of incense..."
When Kiko and Kotomi's parents were still there, although this shrine was not very brilliant, it was still very famous.
But since his parents and Kotomi's successive deaths, the blow to Kiko has been too great.
In addition, she really has no experience and talent to open a shrine, so she ended up like this.
In this miserable appearance, Lu He immediately gave up the idea of wanting to divide the shrine.
After all, this shrine is still the property that Kotomi gave to Kiko, so she should leave such a precious thing to Kiko!
Enter the gate and walk into the courtyard.
If you have anything to praise for this shrine, it is only the courtyard in front of you.
The courtyard is not small, and there is also an oak tree that is a bit old.
It was just because of this oak tree that no one swept the fallen leaves in the courtyard.
"Wow, there aren't people here..."
Lu He had thought that no one would come to such a broken and ancient shrine.
But now it seems that this is not the case.
I saw a group of people surrounding the courtyard.
There are seven or eight people in this group, and their only characteristic is that they are almost all older people.
The one who was surrounded by this group of people was an old man wearing a white robe dotted with silk patterns.
The old man's eyes were obviously not very good. He kept squinting his eyes and had to get close to show his face.
At the same time, he was talking about something.
His movements and behaviors are a bit like a fortune teller sitting in the streets and alleys to tell fortunes in the real world.
He looks like a divine thing.
He spitted everywhere, as if he had seen the so-called secret of heaven:
