Old man Zhang noticed that I was looking at him, he was vacant and stood respectfully.

"Ding ling ling."

When I picked up the phone, I was actually called by Zhou Yan. After I connected, I hadn’t had time to say hello and I just heard Zhou Yan's excited voice: "Master, my husband agrees, and he agrees."

Zhou Yan’s words confused me, It took me a long time to understand what Zhou Yan meant.

It was that Zheng Chen found the character paper and felt very angry. However, actions speak louder than words. The spirit of the child had obviously improved a lot in the past few days. Zheng Chen didn’t think that it was the doctor's effort. After all, the child was still under observation and did not undergo treatment.

Under Zhou Yan's persuasion, Zheng Chen looked at the thin child and finally agreed to try another route, of course, without delaying the child's treatment.

Because of the religious right, Zhou Yan and Zheng Chen planned to go to the fortune-telling stall this evening. They hoped we could help them.

I casually responded, and then looked at old man Zhang. The old man was unpleasant with Zheng Chen before. But old man Zhang looked happier than I was at that time. In the capacity of my apprentice, he asked me to save the child.

Well, measure the stature of great men by the yardstick of small men, it was about me.

Although we hadn’t thought of how to deal with the three-legged gold toad, we still set off to old man Zhang’s fortune-telling stall.

The fortune-telling stall was no longer put outside, but Old man Zhang's house was behind the stall. Although it was just an ordinary cottage, there was a small courtyard behind it, which was convenient for performing a rite.

In accordance with the instruction of Witch Yan, I laid a small Telepathize Tactics in the small courtyard. As long as stay in the Telepathize Tactics, even ordinary people could communicate with ghosts and gods.

Outside the Telepathize Tactics, it was an Evil Killing Tactics, mainly to protect the security of us. Whether it would work on the three-leg toad, I was not sure.

Old man Zhang was very serious to see me finish the arrangement. And then he set up the platform for rite in the courtyard.

I looked curiously at his skillful layout. Perhaps because I was watching too seriously, Old man Zhang was embarrassed.

"Master, these things are just used to fool other people, and you know that people nowadays always think that an expert should act in this way. Those experts who can truly destroy the demons like you, because they don't have this, they are looked down on by people."

"But my master, these are not all useless, black dog blood, glutinous rice, they have a certain effect on dispelling evil, the most important thing that I think, think……"

"What do you think?"

“I think that this can comfort the hearts of people. If one knows that there is an expert nearby, he will be less fear in his heart, so his own blood will be more prosperous. To a certain extent, he can also avoid some damage from ghosts.”

I nodded slightly, and what old man Zhang said was something I had never thought of before. No matter whether it was aunt Li, witch Yan, or Huang Bin, such a master, would never do such a thing.

When ghosts came, just destroy them. It seemed that there was nothing wrong with it.

However, what Old man Zhang said was also reasonable. When the strength did not reach a certain level, any improvement could be a bargaining chip.

"Where did you learn these things?"

"It was some of my feelings, or the exchanges with my peers, is it right?"

Old man Zhang became unsure.

"Yes, of course, have you ever caught a ghost?"

Old man Zhang’s eyes flashed a faint light. He became sad and it took him a long time to nod his head. “Yes, at the last time I was catching a ghost, my wife and child died.”

I had a glimmer of apology, but Old man Zhang gave me an open-minded smile: “It's been for years, but my master, even if I'm old, I will learn Taoist magic arts and avenge my wife.”

Old man Zhang looked at me firmly. I nodded and then called him to see me drawing a character paper.

Zhou Yan said that they would come here in the evening, but when it was only at 5 pm, they arrived. Old man Zhang came out to pick them up and came back with a lot of gifts. It looked like Zheng Chen’s apology.

It was only when Zheng Chen saw me, he was obviously stunned. I smiled and said hello to him: “Zheng Chen, sorry, I lied to you.”

Zheng Chen smiled unnaturally. As could be seen from his expression, he seemed a little regretful. He may think of me as a fraud.

Zhou Yan knelt down and knocked her head on the ground while holding her child. Old man Zhang went forward quickly to stop her.

Zheng Chen supported his wife with his hand and looked at old man Zhang. “You said that the problem was because of me. What do you want me to do now?”

Old man Zhang turned to see me and saluted respectfully: "Master."

In the surprised eyes of Zhou Yan and Zheng Chen, I let them sit on the stool in the yard.

Zheng Chen sat on the opposite side, and Zhou Yan was sitting next to us with her child. There was quite a feeling of three court trial.

Maybe because of what Old man Zhang called me, Zhou Yan did not know how to call me, she opened her mouth for a long time, finally asked: "Master, what are we doing now."

I did not start the Telepathize Tactics and Evil Killing Tactics immediately. First, I gave the child and Zhou Yan a talisman each,and then turned to Zheng Chen: “Brother Zheng, whether you think we are frauds or not, it for the sake of your wife and your child, please answer my questions."

Zheng Chen was embarrassed and nodded.

“Brother Zheng, you bought a small tea house, didn’t you think if there was something strange in the tea house?”

"Have you seen a toad-shaped ornament? It is a three-legged golden toad."

"No"

I looked at old man Zhang. It seemed that things were a bit complicated. I continued to ask.

"Brother Zheng, have you done anything before you made a fortune, or something happened to you?"

Zheng Chen thought for a long time and slowly shook his head.

In this case, I didn’t know what to ask next, and I turned my gaze to the three-legged gold toad on the shoulder of Zheng Chen.

The three-legged golden toad may feel something wrong. After entering the small courtyard, it never got down again. The bulging big eyes had been vigilantly watching around.

When Zheng Chen saw that we did not have any voice, he began to ask, "What else would you ask?"

Zhou Yan said in a hurry: "You are utterly ignorant of it, so the master doesn’t know what to ask. You think about yourself. Do you have any strange thing?"

Zheng Chen thought for a long time, still shook his head: "I really did not have anything strange."

Zhou Yan wanted to say something, but I waved my hand and interrupted: "Forget it, let me ask it directly."

They looked at me strangely, their face seemed full of doubts and fears.

Old man Zhang was excited with fears. If I couldn't deal with this toad, would old man Zhang still regard me as his master? Even if he still wanted to do it, I would feel humiliated.

I shook my head and threw away my confused thought, I did not rush to start the launching. The toad was very vigilant. It would make things worse because the toad was frightened. Especially when I could negotiate with it.

"Talk about it, it looks like that Zheng Chen didn't enshrine you. Why did you stay with him?"

The three-pointed golden toad’ eyes twitched but did not speak.

This was the first time I had negotiated with a ghost. But it ignored me. It made me stupefied. What should I do now? Did I need to threat it? I frowned.
