The next day, Xi Fei woke up from a shiver. I found myself lying on the couch in the tavern, thinking back to the events of last night, and feeling every hair on my body stand up. So he quickly got up and ran outside the private room.

In the hall of the tavern, Lin Xiaoxiao was watching Xu Huiling intently flipping through a strange black book. Xi Fei leaned over quietly, pricking up his ears to hear what they were all talking about. Who knew that as soon as he got closer, Xu Huiling spoke.

"Xi Fei, go and sit down opposite. People are so strong, why are they so small. ”

Xi Fei hurriedly sat down and looked at Xu Huiling and Lin Xiaoxiao aggrievedly. Looking at Xi Fei's aggrieved appearance, Lin Xiaoxiao began to count Xi Fei again.

"Hey, hey, little fat paper, what's going on with you? Do you know how hard it took me and Sister Ling to pull your pig back yesterday? I didn't faint at all, you're good, why didn't you scare you to death?"

"It's not... I'm actually..."

"Okay, found it"

Without waiting for Xi Fei to finish speaking, Xu Huiling interrupted. Then he pointed to the book and said.

"Here is the record of the resurrection of the peony, which is said to have been handed down from the Ming Dynasty. At that time, there was a daughter in the family of an official named Du Liniang. She met Liu Mengmei, a scholar she saw in her dream, in the Peony Pavilion, and fell in love with each other ever since. But when Du Liniang woke up, she found out that it was Nan Ke's dream, and finally died of sadness. Du Liniang later turned into a soul and looked for Liu Mengmei in reality in the world. Later, people and ghosts fell in love, and finally came back to life. ”

"Wow, what a romantic story. Does that mean that Zhang Han will come back to life and be with her seniors in the end?"

Lin Xiaoxiao looked at Xu Huiling with moist eyes and said.

"How is it possible, haven't you heard the saying that people can't be resurrected after death?"

Xi Fei seemed to have found a point where he could fight back against Lin Xiaoxiao, so he hurriedly added a sentence.

Xu Huiling looked at the two of them and continued.

"Xi Fei is right, people can't be resurrected after death, and the resurrection story is probably made up by the ancients. It is precisely because of this story that later there are fake cultivators with unscrupulous intentions who will use this beautiful story to make a false sense and harm people everywhere.

After hearing these words, Lin Xiaoxiao was extremely disappointed, and looked at Xu Huiling with her head drooping.

"Ah, it turned out to be a lie. But why did they harm Zhang Han?"

"I don't understand, why use this method to harm such a simple person as Zhang Han?"

Xu Huiling closed the book and began to meditate.

Xi Fei saw that Xu Huiling and Lin Xiaoxiao stopped talking, and began to mumble to himself.

"Could it be that the senior's mother cut the grass and eradicated the roots in order to cut off the senior's thoughts?"

"It's unlikely, they all sent their sons abroad. It would be despicable to use this method. ”

Lin Xiaoxiao retorted.

Just as Xi Fei and Lin Xiaoxiao were arguing, Xu Huiling took a deep breath and said calmly.

"Don't guess, if you want to know the answer, just find someone. ”

"Who?"

Lin Xiaoxiao and Xi Fei asked in unison.

The masked man in Zhang Han's mouth. ”

After speaking, Xu Huiling got up and walked in the direction of the pile of wine.

At this time, Xi Fei leaned in front of Lin Xiaoxiao and whispered.

"Xiaoxiao, how can you say that Sister Ling can drink so much? It's just noon."

"Who knows, little fat paper, don't speak ill of Sister Ling, be careful that she beats you. ”

"What do you two say?"

As soon as Xi Fei and Lin Xiaoxiao turned around, Xu Huiling was already standing next to the table with a bottle of Sherry Kurayoshi's whiskey.

Seeing this, Xi Fei hurriedly replied with a smirk.

"It's nothing, Sister Ling, why don't you walk with high heels without a sound?"

After speaking, Xi Fei lowered his head and muttered quietly.

"Sure enough, they only drink expensive ........."

Xu Huiling glanced at it with squinted eyes, and didn't pay attention to Xi Fei. I poured the wine and drank it all.

With a gust of wind chimes, a tall, thin man in a black suit and gold-rimmed glasses appeared at the door of the tavern. He combed his back and held a document bag in his hand.

"Hello and welcome. ”

Lin Xiaoxiao greeted him with a smile while holding the menu.

"Hello, I'm here to find Miss Xu Huiling. ”

The man pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose and walked to Xu Huiling's side. Seeing this, Xi Fei immediately got up and flashed to the side. The man sat down and looked at Xu Huiling.

Xu Huiling took a cup from the cup holder, poured a glass of wine and pushed it to the man.

"Rare guest, Gu Manming. Why are you here to come to the East Fence?"

Gu Manming took the wine glass, shook the wine in the glass, and muttered.

"Miss Xu, you used the soul attraction technique indiscriminately yesterday, but you broke the rules. This hunt for the geist is a matter for our "Gen" organization. It's not appropriate for you to summon a soul and let the servants of hell take it away, right?"

"I know, but Zhang Han is involved in yin and yang grievances. If the grievances continue, you can't take them away, and she can only wander in the world. You can't pay it, and I can't pay it. ”

"That's true, that's why I came to work with Miss Xu today. Recently, several geismos have appeared, and all of them have been taken by the Soul Needle, and one of the three souls has been taken away. ”

"But what can you do by taking this soul?"

Seeing that Xu Huiling in front of him had no clue, Gu Manming's expression was relaxed. It seems that the answer to this series of geist events has been known for a long time.

After Gu Manming drank some of the wine in the wine glass, he took out a stack of materials from the information bag he carried with him and explained.

"These spirits all have another thing in common, that is, they have more or less resentment in their feelings. Either the relationship is not going well, or the relationship is broken. And this soul that is taken away is the soul with resentment. ”

Xu Huiling looked up at Gu Manming, raised her wine glass, and gestured for a toast.

"So taking away a soul with resentment is either a curse or a Gu refining?"

"Miss Xu is really smart, she is a Gu. It's just that who's refining Gu with affection, I don't have a clue on my side. That's all I know so far, let's share the rest and get in touch. ”

After speaking, Gu Manming raised his wine glass and drank it all, then got up and walked out of the tavern.

Lin Xiaoxiao, who had been listening with her ears pricked up, hurriedly ran over and sat down, and began to listen curiously.

"Sister Ling, what do you mean by what you just said? I didn't understand a word. ”

"Yes, yes, tell us about it. Xi Fei also chimed in.

Xu Huiling put down the wine glass and opened the information sent by Gu Manming. While checking the information by himself, he explained to Lin Xiaoxiao and Xi Fei.

"People have three souls and seven spirits from Taoist theory, the three souls are fetal light, cool spirit, and ghost spirit, and the seven spirits are corpse dogs, Fu Ya, Bird Yin, Swallowing Thieves, Non-poisonous, Removing Filth, and Stinky Lungs. Among them, the soul of Shuang Ling is in charge of people's spirits. And emotions and resentment are also in this soul, and the intention of the soul needle is to take this soul.

After hearing this, Lin Xiaoxiao and Xi Fei's eyes widened. On the surface, he nodded as if he didn't understand, but in fact, he didn't understand a word.

Xu Huiling glanced at the two of them with squinted eyes, shook her head, and continued to explain.

"Don't you understand, right? To put it simply, someone took one of Zhang Han's three souls. The purpose of taking this soul is to obtain Zhang Han's emotional resentment before his death. ”

After hearing this, Lin Xiaoxiao nodded hurriedly.

"Oh... Oh... Oh, I see, Sister Ling. It's just that someone took Zhang Han's soul by inserting a needle on the top of his head, and now there is one less soul, so Zhang Han can't go to the Netherworld, right?"

"Well, you still have a little understanding. The three souls lack the soul of Shuang Ling, just like a person who has amnesia, he doesn't know what he wants to do, and he can't find the way to hell, so he wanders the world. ”

Although Xi Fei is scared now, he is curious about these bizarre things. So after Xu Huiling finished answering Lin Xiaoxiao, she hurriedly and diligently helped Xu Huiling pour the wine, and interjected to ask.

"Hey, hey, hey... Sister Ling, then, what's the use of taking this soul?"

Xu Huiling picked up the wine glass, leaned to her nose and sniffed it. I took another sip before I finished speaking.

"The preliminary suspicion is that someone used this evil art to cooperate with the Miao family's secret technique to refine something called Gu, and it is likely to be a love Gu. ”

"What is a love Gu, is it that after you are hit, you will be single-minded about this person?"

Lin Xiaoxiao tilted her head and stared at the information in Xu Huiling's hand as she spoke.

Xu Huiling closed the information and put it back in the file bag. Leaning his head against the wall, he closed his glasses. Fragmented reading.

"I don't know what this love Gu is, I'll find out when a friend comes at night. There's nothing to do now, you and Xi Fei should get off work first, and I'll just wait in the store alone. Also, give you all the necklaces you wear with you. Don't take it off casually, and don't get blood on it. ”

After saying this, Xu Huiling stopped talking. just waved his hand and motioned for Lin Xiaoxiao and Xi Fei to leave.

Lin Xiaoxiao and Xi Fei looked at each other, and they could only stand up and pack up their belongings and leave off work.

As the door of the tavern was closed from the outside, a figure gradually appeared from the warehouse behind Xu Huiling.

As the figure approached, the contours of her face gradually revealed, a tall, thin woman with short hair. The woman's skin is fair, and her face is slightly red. Because of the fairness of the skin, the lips appear extraordinarily bright red, as if they have just been smeared with blood. Holding a gold fan made of gloomy wood, he left a faint fragrance everywhere he went. And he was dressed in a strange costume, and the costume was embroidered with bird patterns. There were many silverware hanging on his body, and as he walked, there was a sound of ringing bells in his ears.

"You're early, White Dove. ”

Xu Huiling, who felt a certain breath, suddenly opened her eyes and looked sideways at the figure walking behind her.

The white pigeon came to Xu Huiling and sat down, putting down the Baiwen gold fan in his hand. With a stroke of the handle, a purple sand teapot and a purple sand teacup appeared on the table. I saw that the heat slowly came out of the teapot, and the tea was boiling in the kettle.

The white dove holds the sleeve of his shirt with his right hand, and pours tea in the shape of an orchid finger in his left hand. For a time, the fragrance of tea was overflowing, and the faint fragrance of osmanthus was spread in the tavern for a long time.

"Sister Ling'er, I haven't seen you for many years, and you still love wine so much. And don't you smell the fragrance of this osmanthus a hundred times better than your bitter wine?"

After the white pigeon finished speaking, he slowly raised the teacup and gently touched Xu Huiling's wine glass.

Xu Huiling picked up the wine glass, looked at the wine in the glass, and frowned with a little melancholy.

"A hundred-year-old habit, how can it be so easy to change. No matter how bitter the wine is, it is sweeter than what he had done to me in his previous life. ”

"Silly sister, you blame him in every way. But in this life, aren't you still willing to do things for him? ”

Xu Huiling smiled bitterly and sighed.

"White dove, let's get down to business. It is said that you are proficient in the techniques of various families, whether it is Maoshan technique, head lowering, Gu worms, charms, and formations, you know everything about it. Today, I just want to ask you to tell me if the soul dementor needle can really be used to refine a soul with Gu. ”

The white pigeon put down the teacup in his hand and said "Come and see". Then he stretched out his index finger and dipped some of the tea in the cup. With a light touch on the table, I saw a tiny white worm slowly appearing in the tea, wriggling in the water.

Xu Huiling looked at this little insect intently, and suddenly felt a chill hit her body.

The white pigeon then flicked its fingers, and the tea and the little worm on the table disappeared without a trace, and then the white pigeon explained to Xu Huiling.

"This is Gu, Gu is an insect. Put different poisonous insects into a container and seal it for 100 days. Wait for the poison to eat each other, and after a hundred days, there is only one thing left, and that is Gu. Gu is divided into snakes, scorpions, thousand-footed, toads, lizards, spiders, cat ghosts, dried corpses, etc., these Gu insects can fly, drill into the soil, ambush corpses, and send food. People who are in the Gu can be psychedelic, delusional, lose their minds, fall asleep, and die violently. Different Gu have different effects. ”

Xu Huiling habitually picked up the wine glass, remembering the little worm on the table just now. After a moment of nausea, he put down his glass and asked.

"Is it possible to make a love Gu with emotional resentment?"

Seeing Xu Huiling put down the wine glass, the white pigeon smiled. Grab a glass of wine in your hand and take a sip. Then he put the wine glass in front of Xu Huiling, smiled slightly, and continued.

"The purpose of love Gu is to control the mind, and there is generally no need to harm people's lives, but there are also people who are infatuated with love and have lost their minds. The worm is the first choice for the love Gu, and it is fed with its own blood since the day the silkworm eggs hatch. After a long time, the silkworm became a blood silkworm. If the blood silkworm is mixed with a special medicine for the person who wants to take it, the blood silkworm will control the mind of the person who thinks about it, and the person who is in the Gu will love the person who is under the Gu from now on. ”

After listening to Bai Ge's explanation, Xu Huiling continued to ask thoughtfully.

"That means that the Romance Gu doesn't need to be infused with resentful souls?"

The white pigeon continued to pour himself tea, and only after drinking it did he tell the story.

"Sister, don't worry, listen to me. It's not that there is no way to take the soul into the Gu, but it is too vicious. Those who are good at Gu do not know the method of soul dementoring, and they must have the cooperation of people who understand this evil art. If you fall into this kind of love Gu, you can't solve it except for death. Haunted by resentment, the mind is obsessed. If you change your mind, you will be distracted by ghosts and hallucinations all day long, and you will not rest until you die. ”

At this time, Xu Huiling seemed to understand the antecedents of the love Gu, but he still had no clue who was refining the love Gu and who he was going to use the love Gu on.

Just as Xu Huiling was pondering, the white pigeon opened the Baiwen gold fan and gently fanned Xu Huiling. A burst of fog shrouded Xu Huiling, and Xu Huiling slowly lay on the table and fell asleep in a daze.

The white pigeon stood up, looked at Xu Huiling in front of him, and said silently in his heart.

"Sister Ling'er, you've been too tired lately, take a good rest"

With the sound of a clanging sound, the white dove faded into the darkness in the corner of the warehouse.
