Chapter 167
Mu Tong’s house was a three-room, one-room structure, which was considered a relatively old house, but they had been living here since they had no special requirements for material life.
Lin Ran took a look at the two rooms and one hall and found that there was nothing wrong with the house, no matter the layout or the feng shui position, so he couldn’t help but be very surprised in his heart. This kind of feng shui pattern should not attract dirty things to the house according to reason, but Mu Tong’s wife had obviously struck an evil spirit and was frightened, which was a bit unjustified.
“Take me to see that last room!”
Lin Ran spoke.
“Mhm!”
Mu Tong nodded, but his eyes showed a hint of difficulty, and Lin Ran understood that this last room was precisely Moody’s room.
“Creak!”
The door to the room opened and a heavy stench of sweat hit him, choking Luo Qiqi, who almost didn’t throw up, and turned around and ran out.
Mu Tong looked at Lin Ran awkwardly and was relieved to see that he was just covering his nose and didn’t say anything more.
“B*****d, don’t turn the lights on yet!”
Mu Tong scolded.
Moody gave him a blank look and very reluctantly got up to turn on the room’s lights.
Lin Ran found that the entire room was not small, but it was opposite clutter, except for a bed and cupboard and a computer desk, everything else was clutter, and there was not even a place to land on.
“Living in a place like this, won’t you go crazy?”
Lin Ran couldn’t help but ask, he was worried about Moody’s condition, this kind of character that was just like a log was very prone to accidents.
“Why would you go crazy!”
Moody asked rhetorically.
Lin Ran shook his head in silence and carefully looked around the room. Although the room had lights on, there were too many things in the room, resulting in many places where the light could not shine at all.
Lin Ran had no choice but to cautiously go to the window, and raised his hand to pull the curtain open.
At once a white light came in and the room was brightened up.
But at that moment, as if he had been frightened by something, Moody let out a scream and rushed to the computer desk, generally picking up an object on it, and then hid in a place where the sun could not shine!
“What are you doing again?”
Mu Tong said angrily, and was about to go forward and pull him out, but Lin Ran stopped him.
“Don’t move yet, there’s something wrong with what he’s holding!”
“There’s a problem?”
Mu Tong fixed his eyes and found that what his son was holding seemed to be a statue of Buddha.
The statue was not very big, only ten centimetres high and the width was normal, but the strange thing was that it was black, as if it was carved out of obsidian.
“Where did you get this thing?”
Lin Ran lowered his voice and tried to keep his tone as calm as possible.
But Moody was acting as if he hadn’t heard, just holding the Buddha statue and trembling all over, not saying a word.
“I’m asking you, if you don’t answer, I’ll smack you to death!”
Mu Tong scolded, he was really disappointed in this son of his, if he was not his own son, I am afraid he would have thrown him out long ago.
“Take it easy!”
Lin Ran turned around and said, Mu Tong saw this and hurriedly shut up and stopped talking.
“Tell me, where did you get this thing from?”
Lin Ran continued to ask patiently, as if he was persuading a thug, very patiently.
However, it was as if Moody hadn’t seen him at all, still not saying a word.
Lin Ran saw this with a slight frown, but in his heart he already seemed to understand something as he spoke.
“I’m telling you, this thing is called the Devouring Spirit Demon Tower, don’t you want to know what it does?”
As soon as these words left his mouth, Moody’s face was clearly stunned as he looked at Lin Ran, and a moment later his voice trembled as he said.
“Swallowing spirits …. Deva? It… It… What’s it for?”
Lin Ran revealed a smile and continued.
“It’s a magic weapon, so give it to me and I’ll introduce it to you!”
Lin Ran reached out and laughed, but Moody stuffed the Buddha statue into his arms, afraid that Lin Ran would take it away.
“You B*****d, believe it or not…”
Mu Tong chided impatiently, however, he was just about to explode when Moody jerked his head up and said.
“My mother has woken up!”
“What did you say?”
When Mu Tong heard this, his anger increased and he stepped forward, ready to take care of this B*****d child, who was clearly here, but actually said that his mother was awake.
However, just as Mu Tong was about to step forward, Luo Qiqi’s voice came from outside.
“Hey hey! Auntie is awake!”
Mu Tong was stunned, and then felt his scalp go numb, at this moment he didn’t care to go to Moody to ask for clarification anymore, he immediately ran out of the room and went to see his daughter-in-law.
Lin Ran shook his head helplessly, then looked at Moody and said.
“You should know very well inside yourself how this thing is, if you still want to go back to normal, give it to me!”
“Give it to you? You have a solution?”
Moody looked up at Lin Ran with a complicated look in his eyes.
“I do!”
Lin Ran nodded his head.
Moody, however, shook his head.
“I don’t believe it! You can’t have a way out, the only way is to protect it, or else …. Or else …..”
Said Moody actually cried, Lin Ran helplessly sighed, and then said in a serious tone.
“Your mother’s situation you’re afraid you don’t know, if this thing is not destroyed again, in the future not only your mother, even you yourself may ….”
“I told you I don’t believe you! You’re a liar!”
Moody suddenly became very agitated, Lin Ran saw the situation and frowned, suddenly he actually rushed out violently.
Taking advantage of Moody’s moment of agitation, he snatched the Buddha statue out of his hand before turning around and running.
“B*****d! Stop right there!”
Like a madman, Moody rushed out after Lin Ran.
“Stop him now!”
Lin Ran greeted as he rushed out of the room.
Mu Tong had just come out of the master bedroom, and his daughter-in-law was with him. Before the two of them could react, Mu Di had already rushed out, his eyes were bloodshot and he looked like a demon.
Seeing this, Mr. and Mrs. Mu Tong hurriedly went forward and pushed Mudi to the ground, the old couple was so anxious that tears were coming down their faces.
“Brother Lin Ran, what the hell is going on here!”
Mu Tong asked anxiously as he looked towards Lin Ran.
Luo Qiqi, who was at the side, also came over, this was so strange today that she had no idea what had happened.
Lin Ran wiped the sweat from his forehead and told Mu Tong to keep an eye on Moody first, before he let out a long breath and said.
“This calamity in your family is the work of this thing!”
Lin Ran said, placing the Buddha statue in his hand on the coffee table.
Only then did the crowd clearly see what kind of Buddha statue it was.
The Buddha statue was pitch-black, yet the carving was exceptionally realistic, a demon Lohan statue, with nine arms growing behind the figure, arranged in a fan shape, and each arm also held nine different artifacts, namely the head, heart, liver, kidneys, hands, feet, eyes, ears, and a black ma*s.
“What the hell is this? Why is it so seeping!”
Mu Tong couldn’t help but say, he didn’t usually run the household much and had no idea that there were actually such oozy things in the house.
“Ai!”
Lin Ran sighed, and then said.
“In feng shui, this thing is called the Devouring Spirit Demon Dao, a very evil magic weapon, specifically used to store the souls of evil spirits!”
Chapter 168
“What? Storing the souls of evil spirits?”
Hearing these words, Mu Tong was instantly confused, and even his wife at the side turned pale.
“Little Di, how many times have I told you not to go to that kind of place, why don’t you listen!”
The old mother said bitterly as Mu Tong sniffed and asked.
“What kind of place?”
“It’s that abandoned factory on the outskirts, he usually likes to go there to plunder things, that’s where he got this whatchamacallit!”
“You B*****d!”
Mu Tong was so angry that his face turned blue, he raised his hand and was ready to slap Mudi, but his palm raised, but in the end he didn’t hit him, after all, he was his own bone, so he couldn’t bring himself to do it.
“What’s wrong with that place? I just like to go there, what’s wrong with it!”
Moody hissed, his eyes bloodshot as he spoke with a slight distortion in his voice.
“I want to help him regain his senses!”
Lin Ran said as he stepped forward.
Moody, however, looked at him through gritted teeth and snarled.
“No need, I’m wide awake!”
“The boy!”
Mu Tong was impatient, this child of his was beyond his own control, just see what Lin Ran could do.
“It’s alright, he’s lost his mind to this spirit swallowing demon dweller, he’ll be fine in a minute!”
Lin Ran said indifferently, while probing out his palm and slapping it directly on top of Moody’s forehead.
A strand of true qi quickly invaded and soon Moody’s face began to turn red, at the same time, Lin Ran very subtly transferred a wisp of breath from within the Spirit Swallowing Demon Tower and injected it into Moody’s body, this wisp of breath originally belonged to him and was only swallowed up due to prolonged contact with the Spirit Swallowing Demon Tower.
“It’s done!”
A moment later, Lin Ran withdrew his palm, his face slightly pale.
“This… This is done?”
Mu Tong asked in surprise, as it seemed to him that Lin Ran had only placed his palm on his son’s forehead and didn’t seem to have done anything else other than that.
Lin Ran nodded without saying anything, he was slightly weaker at this point.
“Father! What’s happening to me?”
Mu Tong still tried to slip his hand, but the Moody in his arms had already spoken.
Hearing this familiar name, and normal tone of voice, Mu Tong could not help but cry old tears, the difference between this before and after was simply like two people, if he did not know his son’s previous tone of voice, he really did not dare to recognize it somewhat.
“Good! Good! It’s good to be back!”
Mu Tong hugged his son and tears unconsciously flowed down his face.
Lin Ran patted his back and finally admonished.
“Live a good life, don’t let your son go to that place in the future, besides Madam Zun is already fine, spend more time with your family in the future!”
Saying that, Lin Ran got up and left with Luo Qiqi.
This scene in the Mu family could not help but sting the softness deep inside Lin Ran’s heart, the word parents, since he was a child, was just a word to him, it had no actual meaning, much less represented anyone to make Lin Ran feel warm.
“What, homesick?”
Luo Qiqi asked with a smile, she could see that Lin Ran was sad.
“It’s alright, let’s go for a trip to the suburbs!”
Lin Ran said with a smile.
“What’s the point of going to the suburbs?”
Luo Qiqi asked in surprise.
“To see the abandoned factory that Moody said, and at the same time, destroy this Spirit Swallowing Demon Tower, it’s a scourge if you keep it!”
Lin Ran said, and promptly led Luo Qiqi out of the district.
However, just as the two of them reached the entrance of the district, they ran into an acquaintance, none other than the self-proclaimed feng shui master, Wang Yifeng.
“Why are you here?”
Luo Qiqi asked in surprise, since the last time they parted, this guy had evaporated like a human being, and it was completely impossible to find where he was.
“I’ve been busy lately, haven’t I!”
Wang Yifeng laughed, but Lin Ran was amazed, this guy was wearing a Taoist robe, peach wood sword and ghost charm, he looked like he was going to fight against the evil spirits.
“You catch ghosts, how come they all run to the neighborhood?”
Lin Ran asked.
“I really can’t hide it from you!”
Wang Yifei smiled awkwardly, then pointed to the cell behind Lin Ran and said mysteriously.
“I’ve recently discovered that this neighborhood is infested with evil spirits, so this time I’m just going to come and do a good job!”
“F**k you! There are no ghosts in this neighborhood, let’s go out with me!”
Lin Ran directly pulled Wang Yifei and left.
“Hey! Where are you going?”
Wang Yifeng hurriedly asked, he had come to save the world, he had just arrived at the door, how could he be dragged to do something else?
“To do something bigger!”
Lin Ran said, while revealing a corner of the Devouring Spirit Demon Tower, Wang Yifeng took just one look and his eyes went straight!
“Holy Sh*t, where did you find such a treasure, show it to me!”
Wang Yifei’s eyes glared round as if they were about to bulge out of their wanting frames.
“I can’t show it to you now, it’s too crowded, it’ll be yours when we get to the place!”
Lin Ran laughed, while putting away the Spirit Swallowing Demon Tower.
“Holy Sh*t! Then why are you still standing there, hurry up and go!”
Wang Yifeng urged repeatedly.
“….”
Lin Ran and Luo Qiqi were speechless for a while, this guy’s speed of changing his mind was simply faster than even a woman turning her face.
With Lin Ran leading the way, the three soon reached the outskirts and found the abandoned factory that Moody had mentioned.
“Going in now?”
Luo Qiqi asked beside again, this place was honestly a place she didn’t really want to go to, she was a rich lady and still had some resistance to such abandoned and gloomy factories.
“No rush first!”
Lin Ran shook his head, turned around and took out the Spirit Swallowing Demon Tower, and said to Wang Yifeng.
“You should first ferry all the unjust spirits inside this thing, and it will be yours from now on!”
“Good!”
Wang Yifeng didn’t even think about it and nodded straight away, what he did was to catch ghosts and subdue demons, having such a magic weapon to store the evil spirits was like a tiger with wings.
He quickly came to the side, his palms quickly formed a seal, and his mouth was even more vibrant, and soon a 10-meter square formation enveloped the devil devouring spirit.
“I’m going to start!”
Wang Yifeng shouted, followed by jumping out of the formation, and then with a slight click, the Spirit Swallowing Demon Tower within the formation trembled rapidly, and then wisps of black mist swarmed out, as if a gas stove had been lit.
“What are these?”
Luo Qiqi frowned as she watched, she hadn’t seen before that there was actually so much black Qi within this small statue of Buddha.
“These are all resentment spirits, the amount of resentment spirits stored within this Spirit Swallowing Demon Buddha is terrifying!”
Lin Ran said with a frown.
It was indeed not a good thing to actually have such evil things in a densely populated metropolis.
“Huh!”
Luo Qiqi felt her goose bumps rise.
In the distance, Wang Yifei, however, was getting excited as he looked at the grievances that were rapidly appearing within the formation, his heart very excited because as long as he waited for all the grievances within the Spirit Swallowing Demon Duo to be purified, then this Spirit Swallowing Demon Duo itself would become an empty shell magic weapon that could be used for him then.
“Roar!”
Just as the two of them were waiting patiently, a low hissing sound suddenly came violently, and following that they saw it.
Within the formation in front of them, a black woman figure had actually appeared, its cheeks were pitch black and no features could be seen, but its figure was breathtakingly beautiful, not to mention Wang Yifeng, even Lin Ran couldn’t help but gag when he took a look at it.
