Maoshan female Taoist priest

Chapter 144 Gains and Losses

Jin Tianci gave Bai Xiaoxi a hard look, and stubbornly turned his head to ignore Jin Guanzhong.

"Hey, you brat, you are not obedient anymore! Do you want to be beaten?!" Jin Guanzhong was also annoyed by him, and he raised his hand and really wanted to beat him.

Bai Xiaoxi hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop him, "Boss Jin, it's okay, Tianci is playing with me!"

Jin Guanzhong hurriedly withdrew his hand again, and smiled apologetically at Bai Xiaoxi, "This child, we are spoiled and made Master Bai suffer. It is our fault. Master Bai, please sit in the room and drink some water to calm down the shock."

Bai Xiaoxi glanced at Bai Xiangbei, seeing that Bai Xiangbei didn't respond, so he nodded.

Afterwards, a few people came to the reception room, and Bai Xiaoxi noticed that among the portraits and photos hanging in the reception room, there was a portrait that was very similar to Jin Fengle, and he immediately understood—it turned out that the Jin family used the Ancestral ghosts guard the family.

Jin Guanzhong graciously took the initiative to pour water for Bai Xiangbei and Bai Xiaoxi, and sat across from them with a smile, and said, "About the ghost that appeared in my shop that Master Bai said this morning, Master Bai said that it might be with me. It's related to the family, and they said they want to come and see..."

Bai Xiaoxi nodded, "Well, if it's convenient for you, Boss Jin, I'd like to walk around the house to see if I can find more clues."

Naturally, Jin Guanzhong nodded quickly and agreed, "It's convenient, can I personally lead Master Bai around?"

Bai Xiaoxi waved his hand, "I want to walk alone with my dad. If Boss Jin follows, I'm afraid I'll disturb that ghost, but I won't be able to get rid of it."

When Jin Guanzhong heard this, he was a little surprised, "Can't I be with you two?"

Bai Xiaoxi nodded, "Well, it's best not to follow, it's also for the safety of Boss Jin and his family."

Jin Guanzhong frowned slightly, thought for a while, and nodded, "That's fine, then I will trouble Master Bai and Mr. Bai."

Bai Xiaoxi nodded, stood up, looked at Bai Xiangbei again, Bai Xiangbei looked back at her, smiled and nodded at Jin Guanzhong, followed Bai Xiaoxi to stand up, and walked out of the reception room.

Jin Guanzhong sat in the room, thought for a while, and called his friend, "Hello? Lao Fang, the Master Bai you introduced is reliable, right?"

……

Bai Xiangbei followed Bai Xiaoxi around for a while, and the rain gradually stopped. Bai Xiangbei put away his umbrella and looked at his daughter, "What else are you looking for? Xiaoxi, have you already had contact with that ghost?"

Bai Xiaoxi was not surprised that his father would find out, so he nodded, "Well, I'm a little concerned about something, I want to look for it."

Bai Xiangbei looked at Bai Xiaoxi, and didn't ask her what she cared about, so he followed her and continued to wander around the mansion in Jinguanzhong aimlessly.

After walking for a while, the two of them seemed to come to a certain courtyard of the house. The courtyard was filled with some beautiful potted flowers and plants. Just as Bai Xiaoxi entered the courtyard, he heard a faint and depressing sound of crying. .

"Woooooooo..."

Bai Xiaoxi and Bai Xiangbei looked at each other, and followed the crying sound to find Jin Tianci squatting beside a small tree, crying and wiping away his tears while pulling the grass on the bottom of his feet.

"...Little brother." Bai Xiaoxi called him.

Jin Tianci was taken aback, raised his head, and when he saw Bai Xiaoxi, he immediately glared at her fiercely, "What are you doing here? Get lost! Don't stay in my house!"

The corner of Bai Xiaoxi's mouth twitched.

Jin Tianci wiped his tears again, the snot was still hanging under his nostrils, he didn't care, he stood up and pushed Bai Xiaoxi, "You go! You are not allowed to drive away my ghost uncle! You go! You go!! I hate you!!!"

Bai Xiaoxi was pushed back a few steps by him, she had no choice but to press his shoulder and said, "I've seen your ghost uncle, I didn't intend to drive him away."

Jin Tianci was stunned for a moment, and looked up at her, but his face was filled with disbelief, "Have you seen the ghost uncle? Can you see my ghost uncle? You are lying!"

Bai Xiaoxi said earnestly, "I've really seen it, do your ghost uncle's eyes look like this?" Bai Xiaoxi said, elongating his eyes a little, trying to fit Jin Fengle's expression as much as possible.

Jin Tianci blinked, "You didn't lie to me...you can really see Uncle Ghost? Why can you see it? Even Mom and Dad can't see it."

Bai Xiaoxi thought for a while and said, "Maybe he doesn't want your parents to see it."

When Jin Tianci heard this, his face collapsed, "Does Uncle Ghost hate Mom and Dad? And he won't let me tell anyone that I can see him."

Bai Xiaoxi patted his head and asked, "Tianci, do you often play alone at home? Only Uncle Ghost is with you?"

Jin Tianci nodded, "Well, Uncle Ghost has been with me all the time and told me many interesting stories."

Bai Xiaoxi looked at him and asked again, "Then how did you find out about your ghost uncle? Aren't you afraid of him?"

Instead, Jin Tianci looked at Bai Xiaoxi puzzled, "Why are you afraid of Uncle Ghost? The first time I saw him, he was so pitiful, sitting alone at the door of my house, his hands were still bleeding, and the bandages were loose." It doesn’t matter, I asked him if he was injured, and he still smiled at me.”

A strong image suddenly appeared in Bai Xiaoxi's mind - Jin Fengle, who had been guarding the family for hundreds of years, was sitting alone on the threshold of the old house, looking into the distance lonely, no one spoke and no one could see him ...

Bai Xiangbei noticed Bai Xiaoxi's expression, but he didn't say anything, just waiting to see what Bai Xiaoxi would do next.

"Tianci, let me ask you." Bai Xiaoxi's tone suddenly became serious, "If one day your ghost uncle disappeared from your side, would you be sad?"

When Jin Tianci heard this, he immediately looked at Bai Xiaoxi vigilantly, "Are you still going to chase Uncle Ghost away?"

Bai Xiaoxi shook his head, "It's not that I drove him away, but that you suddenly can't find him, what will you do? Will you be sad?"

Jin Tianci frowned, looked at Bai Xiaoxi and said, "Why did Uncle Ghost disappear from my side? Could it be that he hates me?" As he spoke, he looked like he was about to cry.

Bai Xiaoxi already understood Jin Tianci's answer, nodded, reached out to touch his face, and then said to Bai Xiangbei, "Dad, let's not chase away this ghost, shall we?"

Bai Xiangbei looked at her, "Then what are you going to do?"

Bai Xiaoxi didn't answer him, but took out a blank talisman from his small pocket, took out a cinnabar brush to wet the tip of the pen, and quickly drew a talisman standing where he was.

Bai Xiangbei was a little surprised watching from the side—has Xiaoxi already proficient in making such complicated talisman seals?

After Bai Xiaoxi finished drawing the talisman, he blew on the traces of cinnabar on it. After the cinnabar was dry, he handed the talisman to Jin Tianci, and said, "Tianci, you must firmly remember what my sister said next. Don't forget, you know?"
