745 Physical or mental?

Feeling the malice emanating from his body, the black gas above Zhang Li's head became more and more excited. He wriggled like a mollusc, and then expanded a little more.

Master Rat couldn't help but reveal his head out of Su Muzhe's pocket again, and grinned and planned to teach the ungrateful man in front of him a lesson. Su Muzhe forced him back with his fingers. He seemed to feel the erect anger of Master Rat, and gently rubbed the top of his head until he made the little guy's hair blown up, and then he gave up.

He raised his eyes and looked directly at Zhang Li's eyes. It was not until this time that Zhang Li discovered that the young man in front of him had silver eyes, which were both clear and beautiful, but when he was stared at such eyes, Zhang Li suddenly felt a sense of creepyness as being stared at by some dangerous animal, so that the hairs on his back stood up.

Under this invisible pressure, Zhang Li almost couldn't help but explain everything. Su Muzhai spoke, "Since Mr. Zhang is unwilling to cooperate, I have no choice. I can only give Mr. Zhang a few pieces of talisman paper for temporarily saving his life to protect you from inexplicable dangers during this period. However, after all, treating the symptoms but not the root cause, all problems will have to be completely solved after Mr. Zhang thinks it through thoroughly."

"You mean, save your life?" Zhang Li's face was a little pale, "Master Su, do you mean, is there... something that hurts me?"

Su Muzhe took a sip of tea and said slowly, "You don't want to tell me, how do I know?"

Zhang Li: “…………”

The chat went on without embarrassment. Soon, the two benefactors had nothing to say, and the atmosphere fell into an awkward silence. Zhang Li looked up at the parking area outside the window, and thought in his heart very fiercely, and decided not to tell the strange phenomenon he saw that night to the Master Su in front of him.

There is no other reason - although the person in front of him is not old, his intuition is too keen. If he knows too much, then his secret is likely to be unable to hide...

That's right, as Su Muzhe guessed, Zhang Li did have a ghost in his heart.

Just like you can never wake up a person who pretends to be asleep, you can't pry open the mouth of a person who keeps secrets before reaching the bottom line. Su Muzhe understands this truth very well. It is really impossible to be called a happy thing to live in a room with too deep resentment. So Su Muzhe put five pieces of talisman paper on the table, then stood up and said goodbye, intending to leave.

"Wait, Master Su." Zhang Li quickly called Su Muzhe. When he turned around and looked at him in confusion, he asked with a red face, "I don't know... how to calculate this fee?" His deposit was different. If the fee was too shocking, he could not afford it, so he could only return these pieces of talisman paper regretfully.

Su Muzhe smiled and shook his head, "This is free. After you are willing to tell me the truth, let's talk about the cost issue."

Zhang Li's face suddenly became awkward. He silently sent Su Muzhe out of the door, then returned to the room, picked up the pieces of talisman paper and put them in his hand to take a closer look.

——These talismans are not similar to what he saw in the movie, because the talismans on TV are made of paper, but the pieces in their hands are made of wood of unknown materials, thin and regular, and there are shallow patterns on them. If they get closer, they can still smell a faint fragrance, and the design is very elegant. The talismans are written with red pigment (cinnabar) on them, which Zhang Li doesn't recognize.

When I went out just now, Master Su said that the talisman paper should be carried with me and changed it every other week. I don’t know if it is really useful.

And the ghost energy that had been entrenched above Zhang Li's head suddenly became turbulent when he saw these talisman papers. Under the power of the talisman papers, they did not dare to do anything harmful to others, but they were unwilling to leave like this. So a wisp of black energy separated from the ghost energy, drilled out of the crack in the window, and ran towards the direction where Su Muzhe left...

"I'm not too brave." Su Muzhe didn't go far. He was standing in a sparsely populated alley, putting his hands in his pockets, and calmly watching the black air rushing towards him with his teeth and claws.

Su Muzhe didn't have to do anything at all, so Mr. Rat jumped out of his pocket. After so much aggrieved, he finally had a chance to vent. Mr. Rat's movements were extremely rapid. It pounced beside the black fog, stretched his claws and waved it quickly a few times, and the black air was torn into dozens of pieces by it. Then, Mr. Rat opened his small mouth and swallowed all the black air into his stomach.

After doing this, it kicked its legs on the wall, then jumped back to Su Muzhe's shoulder with force, burped a little, and complained, "The taste is really bad, and the taste of the resentful ghost is indeed far worse than that of the evil ghost."

Su Muzhe took it off his shoulder, stretched out a finger and rubbed it with his plump belly, and asked, "Is it a resentful ghost?"

Mr. Rat spread his body flat and was so comfortable that he was humming, "Yes, it's indeed a resentful ghost. It seems that the kid has a great relationship with this resentful ghost. Also, that kid has concealed too many things. You should give him a mantra and let him tell everything directly, so that he can save such trouble."

Su Muzhe took Mr. Mouse away from the alley. He did not agree with Mr. Mouse's words, "After all, the mantra is not a good thing. I will not use it unless I have to."

Mr. Mouse lay on his back in Su Muzhe's palm and looked at his face, "Tsk, is it interesting to say this? I don't believe you really can't do anything about it. The talismans you gave him were just to protect his body and temporarily relieve him of bad luck, but did not isolate the resentful ghost from that boy. Isn't the purpose of making him feel the pressure himself and come to find you?"

Mr. Mouse was right. The talisman paper Su Muzhe gave Zhang Li could only protect his "body", but did not completely isolate him from the black gas. After the resentful ghost found that he could not hurt this person, he would definitely put psychological pressure on Zhang Li using other methods (such as dreaming) and Zhang Li's psychological defense would collapse faster. At that time, when he had no choice, he could only go to find Su Muzhe.

Mr. Mouse was very clear about his friend's urinary nature. As a spiritual master, Su Muzhe would not blindly protect the human side. His rationality was so cruel that only with such a personality could make the most correct judgment. He was really worthy of being the person chosen by God. So Mr. Mouse rolled his eyes (God knew how Mr. Mouse made this action with his little black bean eyes), "I found that your evil tastes are getting worse and worse recently."

Su Muzhe said insincerely, "Oh, you discovered it."

Mr. Mouse: “…………”

Zhang Li has been through such a miserable period (hey, this sentence seems to have appeared in the previous article). He admitted that with the help of the talisman paper given by the master, he has been at work and going out recently and has never encountered any more being hit by falling objects from high altitudes, but... He has never dreamed, so he started having nightmares!

Every night after falling asleep, he began to have the same dream. In the dream, the woman, with her head shattered on the ground, her white brain mixed with red blood, slowly flowed out of the hole on her head, one eye was hanging outside the socket, and the other intact eye was staring at him. In the dream, Zhang Li wanted to escape, trying to avoid her stare, but his body could not move at all. Then he saw the woman's body, slowly got up from the ground, staggered towards him, and then stood at a distance not far or near, with a strange smile on his face, and bleak words out of his mouth, "You can't escape, you can't escape, hahahaha, you can't escape, you can't escape!"

It is a devastating thing to repeat the same nightmare every night, and every day, the woman's voice in the dream will become clearer. For no reason, Zhang Li felt uneasy.

Tonight, Zhang Li gasped again, and woke up from his dream with sweat. When he opened his eyes, his consciousness was still a little blurred, and he couldn't tell whether it was a dream or a reality in front of him. The face of the woman in the dream was too clear, like a nightmare, holding his eyes tightly and refusing to leave.

"Why, why..." Zhang Li covered his face with his palm soaked in cold sweat and murmured in pain, "I thought I had forgotten it long ago..."

There was no more threats in the body, but the threat was transferred to the psychological state, and the pain caused by the two was no different. Zhang Li took out the talisman paper left by Su Muzhe from under the pillow. I wonder if it was an illusion, but he always felt that the talisman paper was a little black.

In the following time, Zhang Li didn't dare to fall asleep again. He just stayed up until dawn, and Zhang Li went to the simple bathroom to wash up. Looking at the man with a beard in the mirror and red eyes, Zhang Li couldn't help but smile bitterly - what's the matter!

Since he didn't have a good rest at night, Zhang Li was always in a daze when he was working during the day. Today he received a call from a company to order food, so he rode his bike over, entered the company, and went up to the designated floor. At the entrance of the elevator, Zhang Li found a woman in professional clothes facing her back to him. He thought she was here to get takeaway, so he reached out and patted the other person on the shoulder and prepared to hand the takeaway to him.

The woman turned around and showed a face that shocked Zhang Li - it was clearly the face he saw in his dream! He couldn't help but scream, threw the takeaway in his hand and smashed it on the woman!

In response to him was a more harsh scream. Zhang Li was shocked, but the face of the woman in front of him changed in a flash, and she became normal again. But the soup on her body made the woman's face turn astonished.
