Chapter Forty-Eight: The Seven Stars Seal the Soul Vein
"Xiaoyu, you're here. ”
It's been two days since I walked into my cousin Zhang Hua's office again, since Li Weijun said that he wanted to find a way to solve it, two days have passed, and no news has come, Qin Yu has lived in a five-star hotel near the construction site in the past two days, not that Qin Yu is extravagant, this room was arranged by Li Weijun, and according to Qin Yu himself, he can live in a small hotel closer to the construction site.
Qin Yu's eyes swept around the office and found that in addition to his cousin, there was also a girl sitting at the desk, facing a ledger and typing numbers on the keyboard.
"This girl must be the accountant hired by my cousin. Qin Yu remembered his aunt's repeated instructions on the phone yesterday, asking him to help take a look at other girls, and if he thought it was good, he would ask his cousin to take it home.
"Xiaoyu, this is Tong Min. ”
Seeing that Qin Yu's eyes were always on the girl, Zhang Hua had to introduce him.
Tong Min was recording data when he heard Zhang Hua's voice and raised his head and smiled at Qin Yu.
"You are Qin Yu, I often hear Mr. Zhang mention it, and I have admired my name for a long time. ”
"Yes, he looks very virtuous and beautiful, and his cousin's vision is quite picky" Qin Yu looked at the other party without a trace, and said with a smile:
"What, my cousin doesn't say good things about me, but Miss Tong, I often hear my cousin mention you to me on the phone, saying that you are beautiful and capable, and it would be a great blessing if anyone could marry you. ”
Since he thinks Tong Min is good, Qin Yu naturally wants to help his cousin, after hearing his words, Tong Min's eyes slightly swept Zhang Hua on the side, his face was slightly red, Qin Yu was happy when he saw it, it seems that Tong Min also has a little good impression of his cousin, so it's good, as long as his cousin works hard, he still has a chance to hold the beauty.
"I'm going to go out and walk around the construction site!"
Qin Yu left behind his cousin with a smirk on his face and Tong Min with a blush on his face, and walked out of the office alone towards the construction site.
The construction site is about to be completed, and many buildings have been built, and only some internal decorations remain, but Qin Yu saw that the balconies of many buildings were full of clothes and bed quilts and other things, this was because some workers lived in them, and these clothes were naturally taken out by them to dry.
"Stinky, no one wants it, follow the beggars to pick up the rags......"
"I'm not a beggar, and I don't stink. ”
Just in front of Qin Yu, a group of children were surrounding a little girl, singing and laughing at her.
The girl retorted timidly, but unfortunately it attracted more ridicule from the children.
"Alright, let's go, don't play with the stinky beggars that no one wants. A boy who was clearly the king of children waved his hand, and a group of children ran away in an instant, leaving the little girl standing alone.
"Qiaoqiao, do you remember my brother?"
Seeing the little girl's thin body, standing there alone, Qin Yu couldn't help but feel a sense of pity, went up to the little girl's side, and greeted.
"It's my brother, I remember you, you were with Uncle Zhang Hua. Seeing Qin Yu appear, a smile appeared on Qin Qiaoqiao's innocent face, and he replied with his head tilted.
The eyes were very pure, and she still remembered this big brother, the little face of the pink sculpture smiled, revealing two small tiger teeth.
"Qiaoqiao, how about my brother take you to the amusement park?"
I don't know what Lu Dao is for, seeing Qiao Qiao, Qin Yu couldn't help but have a sense of intimacy in his heart, this feeling was like seeing a relative, which made him want to take care of each other.
"Brother Xie Lu, grandma won't let me go with others. After listening to Qin Yu's words, Qiao Qiao's pure eyes lit up at first, but then he remembered his grandmother's instructions and dimmed again.
"Then my brother is here to play with you, let's play and find something, okay?" ”
Qin Yu pointed to a pile of sand in front of him, when he was a child, he often played this kind of game with a group of children in the town, burying a thing in the sand, and then a person went to find it, sometimes it was buried deeply, often even they couldn't find it, and as a last resort, a group of children would dig up the sand pile all over the ground, often causing the owner of the sand pile to shout and scold.
"Qiaoqiao, you bury this stone in the sand and see if my brother can find it. ”
Picking up a fist-sized stone on the ground, Qin Yu put it on Qiao Qiao's pink little hand, then turned around and told Qiao Qiao to call him back if he buried it.
"Brother, I've hid it. A crisp voice came from behind, and a pair of pure and transparent eyes stared nervously at Qin Yu.
"Qiaoqiao is hidden, then my brother is looking for him. ”
Qin Yu turned around and found that although his eyes had been staring at him, he would still often sweep a place on the sand, Qin Yu, the little girl's eyeballs betrayed her, but Qin Yu did not go directly to this direction, but pretended to dig a few times in other places on the sand, and said loudly:
"Isn't it here? ”
"It must be hiding here. ”
"Brother, you're so stupid. There was a silver bell-like smile in her crisp voice, the children on the construction site were reluctant to play with her, and in the days before the construction site, she was even more sick and lay in bed almost all day, and now Qin Yu was willing to play with her, and the little girl's heart was very happy.
Seeing the bright smile on Qiaoqiao's face, Qin Yu deliberately touched the tip of his nose, pretending to be annoyed, and pointed to the area that Qiaoqiao's eyes had scanned before, and said:
"Qiao Qiao hides it so well, if my brother can't find it once, my brother will admit defeat. ”
Seeing Qin Yu shaving towards the sand pile, a nervous expression appeared on his warped face, and a pair of eyes rolled slightly, this expression was exposed to Qin Yu's eyes, which made him feel the cuteness of the little girl in front of him.
Qin Yu deliberately turned over in the sand with both hands, but it was a little distance from the place where Qiaoqiao's eyes were staring, looking at the nervous expression on the little girl's face, he stopped moving, shook his head and said to Qin Qiaoqiao:
"Qiaoqiao, my brother admits defeat, you tell my brother where to hide the stone. ”
"Brother, you're so stupid. With a pout, he walked to the place where Qin Yu had dug before, rolled up his sleeves, reached out and pulled inside, and after a while, he came out with a stone in his hand and shook it in front of Qin Yu.
"Awesome, huh!"
Qin Yu stretched out his hand and touched the little girl's head, praising it, but suddenly grabbed the little girl's hand with a shocked expression.
I didn't pay attention to it before, the little girl rolled up her sleeves, revealing her delicate arms, and Qin Yu found that there was a pattern tattooed on the inside of her arms, which were seven red stars, arranged to form a triangle, shining with a strange light under the sunlight.
"Brother, you've hurt me. ”
The little girl's fragile voice sounded, Qin Yu recovered from his shocked demeanor, and hurriedly let go of his hand, and sure enough, a red mark appeared on the little girl's arm, which was the place where he had just grabbed the little girl's arm.
"I'm sorry, my brother hurt you, can Qiao Qiao tell my brother how did this pattern on your hand come from?"
Qin Yu's eyes were staring at Qiao Qiao, his heart was still turbulent, and he couldn't calm down, so he waited for Qiao Qiao to tell him.
"You said these seven stars, this is ......"
"Qiaoqiao, didn't I tell you not to talk to strangers, I can't come yet. ”
Just as Qiao Qiao was about to answer, an indifferent voice came, and a man with a hunched body and a hat covering his entire face under the hat appeared not far away.
"Grandma. ”
The person who suddenly appeared was Granny Qin, her eyes were fixed on Qin Yu, Qin Yu felt as if she had fallen into the cold winter of December, this was a pair of eyes without any emotion, the whites of the eyes occupied two-thirds of the entire eye socket, and the cloudy eyes seemed to have no focus, but Qin Yu had an intuition of being stared at.
Qiao Qiao heard Granny Qin's voice, she didn't care about answering Qin Yu's words, and ran to her grandmother's side, although her grandmother was very good to her and loved her very much, but grandma also hated her contact with strangers the most.
"Let's go!"
Granny Qin took Qiaoqiao's hand, which happened to be in the position of the triangular seven stars, blocking Qin Yu's gaze, Qiaoqiao turned around and gave Qin Yu a sweet smile, and followed her grandmother.
"Seven Stars Seal Soul Vein, this ...... How could this appear on Qiao Qiao. ”
Qin Yu was still standing in place, muttering to himself, his brows furrowed tightly, and he couldn't figure out how this Xiangxi lineage seven-star soul sealing vein thaumaturgy could appear on a living person.
When it comes to Xiangxi, everyone's first impression will be that Xiangxi chases corpses, Xiangxi has a lot of dealings with the dead, the ancient people paid attention to entering the soil for safety, and the wanderers who died in other places also hope to "return to the roots", so there are some metaphysical schools that specialize in undertaking the work of chasing corpses.
"People die and their souls fly. ”
Driving the corpse is not only to drive the corpse, the most important thing is to keep the soul of the deceased, so that the soul of the deceased can return to their hometown with the corpse, only in this way can the task be completed, and there is a thaumaturgy in the corpse vein: the seven-star soul sealing vein.
The corpse that has been subjected to this thaumaturgy, there will be seven red stars in the veins, forming a triangular pattern, which is a unique method of driving out the corpse, people have three souls and seven spirits, this triangle alludes to the three souls, the seven stars imply the seven souls, the seven stars are in the triangle, and the three souls and seven spirits can not be dispersed.
Seeing this seven-star soul sealing vein was not what surprised Qin Yu the most, what puzzled him the most was that this thaumaturgy actually appeared on the body of a living person, on the body of a little girl who was only eleven or twelve years old.
A living person is originally three souls and seven spirits, can he still use these seven stars to seal the soul vein?
"This Granny Qin is not simple!" Qin Yu squinted his eyes, looking at the disappeared backs of the old and the young, his eyes flashed with inexplicable color.
