I took a look at the clock hanging on the wall, and it was about to be nine o'clock in a few minutes.

"Sister Zhang, does that weird knock on the door sound every day?" I asked.

Ms. Zhang recalled for a while and said:

"Yes, I can hear it almost every day since about a week ago."

"When does the knocks start?" I continued.

"Midnight is twelve o'clock every day. As soon as twelve o'clock is over, the knock will sound." Ms. Zhang said, looking at the door.

"Okay, I understand. You go back to your room to accompany your daughter first, and leave the next thing to us." I said.

After hearing this, Ms. Zhang nodded repeatedly:

"Okay, okay, I'll bother you tonight. I'm really grateful..."

After Ms. Zhang returned to the room, I told Jiang Chao and Qin Yu about my doubts.

After listening, Jiang Chao analyzed:

"Maybe that evil ghost is not good enough, so he can't get into the house, but this is a good opportunity for us, at least not a threat to us."

Qin Yu said, however:

"You must not be careless. What we are facing is a demon. If you are not careful, you may lose your life and become his scapegoat. I think you should not underestimate the enemy."

I nodded:

"Officer Qin is right. We must face it carefully tonight and be careful to sail the ten thousand-year-old ship." As I said, I remembered what Jiang Chao said to me in the car before, so I asked:

"Jiang Chao, haven't you developed a way to easily destroy ghosts? What exactly is it?"

After hearing this, Jiang Chao smiled mysteriously at me:

"Chunjiu, have you ever heard of the lightning-striking peach wood sword?"

I nodded:

"I've heard of it, do you have it in your hands?"

As the name suggests, this thunder-striking peach wood sword is made of the wood from the peach tree that has been hit by heavenly thunder. Peach wood is originally used to drive away evil spirits, and the blessing of heavenly thunder makes the wronged souls and evil spirits frightened.

But the lightning-striking peach wood sword is extremely precious, and most of the ones sold on the market are fake. So when I heard Jiang Chao mention the lightning-striking peach wood sword, my first reaction was whether he had gotten this particularly rare peach wood sword?

Jiang Chao shook his head and looked at me and said:

"I don't have it in my hands, but I can make it."

"Making? How to make it? Could it be to tie the peach wood sword to the lightning rod?" Qin Yu asked at Jiang Chao.

Jiang Chao shook his head again:

"No need to be so troublesome, use electric shock."

"Electric shock? I don't think it's reliable." I said.

Jiang Chao is very confident:

"The sky thunder is also electricity, which is not much different from the electricity we use every day. Moreover, this electricity can also drive away ghosts. Use electricity to continuously hit the peach wood sword. The peach wood sword will absorb electricity on the sword body. With the blessing of electricity, the peach wood sword's ability to drive away ghosts will be further improved, which is basically the same as the peach wood sword hitting the peach wood sword."

After listening to Jiang Chao's explanation, I think his idea of ​​electric shock peach wood sword is not very mature and it cannot have any effect.

But Qin Yu didn't think so. She looked at me and said:

"Chujiu, I think Jiang Chao's method is feasible. You should give him the Taomu sword quickly and let him try it with electric shock."

After hearing this, I shook my head repeatedly:

"Forget it, I'm just like this peach wood sword in my hand now. If it breaks the electric shock to me, we'll be in trouble tonight."

Jiang Chao looked around at the room and suddenly thought of another way.

He first found a wooden board on the balcony, then made a conductive wire with iron wire, and finally found a plug-in row to start making electric shock wooden swords.

The piece of wood found by Jiang Chao is a poplar, which has no effect of exorcising evil spirits. I don’t know what effect it will be after being electrocuted.

I was thinking that Jiang Chao had already started the operation and inserted one end of the conductive wire into the insertion line and placed the other end on the wooden board, but there was no response.

So Jiang Chao used a little more water to guide the point. This time, after putting the powered wire over, a dazzling fire flashed by, and the insertion line burned out with a bang, and a stream of black smoke emerged from it.

Jiang Chao was also shocked and quickly threw the conductive wires in his hand to the ground.

At this time, Ms. Zhang in the room hurriedly walked out and asked us what had happened.

I looked at the black smoke and explained to Ms. Zhang:

"It's okay, we are borrowing some electric to drive away ghosts. Don't worry. After twelve o'clock later, you will stay in the room with your daughter. Don't open the door no matter what sound you hear."

After hearing this, Ms. Zhang nodded quickly:

"Okay, I'll go back now."

After Ms. Zhang left, I looked down at Jiang Chao's "masterpiece". Not to mention that, the fast wooden board really made him strike a black electric pattern like lightning with electric shock.

After seeing this, Jiang Chao quickly said to me and Qin Yu:

"Did you see it? This is the electric shock wood. Chujiu, Officer Qin, you will see it later. I will use this temporary electric shock wood to kill the evil spirit outside!"

Qin Yu looked at the electric shock in Jiang Chao's hand and asked:

"Jiang Chao, tell me the truth. You have tried this electric shock wood before, or did you study it today when the blind cat met a dead mouse?"

Jiang Chao glanced at Qin Yu and said:

"Officer Qin, this is wrong. What does a blind cat encounter with a dead mouse? There is no such thing as research. You can only take a look at it later. Don't come to help."

Actually, I want to see if Jiang Chao's temporary electric shock wooden sword has the effect of exorcising evil spirits and repelling ghosts.

As time went on, the three of us sat in the living room and waited. It was almost twelve o'clock, and my heart began to accelerate inexplicably and I couldn't help but feel nervous.

I kept staring at the pointer on the wall and saw that it was already past twelve o'clock and the knock outside the door did not sound.

After waiting for a while, I still couldn't hear the strange sound of knocking on the door.

At this time, Jiang Chao couldn't help but ask:

"I said the ninth day of the lunar month, did the evil spirit sense that we were coming, so I didn't dare to come to the door tonight?"

"How did the evil ghost sense it?" Qin Yu asked curiously.

Just as Jiang Chao was about to speak, I immediately made a move to silence him, and pointed out the door with my finger.

A slight footsteps came from outside, followed by a strange knock on the door:

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The sound of knocking on the door broke the calm around me, and my heart also hanged!

Jiang Chao held an electric shock to the wood in his hand, stood up from the sofa, and was about to go over and open the door. I was worried that Jiang Chao would not be able to deal with it alone, so he took the peach wood sword and followed closely behind.

Jiang Chao walked to the door and looked out through the cat's eyes on the door.

"Is there anyone outside?" I asked in a low voice.

Jiang Chao nodded:
Chapter completed!
