Chapter 350: Strange Totem "It's a little nervous indeed. Li Qing stretched out his hand to wipe his forehead and said with some embarrassment. If his own person is not the secretary Xiao Yang, but the goddess Ning Manxuan in front of him, Li Qing is sure that he will not be able to control it.

But obviously, this is also impossible, and it is precisely because you can't get it that you yearn for it.

Glancing at Li Qing, Ning Manxuan's face was slightly red, and she stretched out her jade hand and pulled out the folder at the bottom of the stack of materials on the table: "Let's talk about business first." ”

"It's like you can talk about something else when you're done talking. Li Qing muttered softly.

Ning Manxuan raised her pretty face and glared at Li Qing, who instantly became stunned, and hurriedly raised her hands: "I was wrong, I surrendered, what do you say." ”

"That's pretty much it. Pouting, a smug smile appeared on Ning Manxuan's pretty cheeks.

Taking out a piece of paper from the folder, Ning Manxuan said to Li Qing, "Let's take a look at this picture." ”

"Oh. Li Qing walked over, his eyes touched the pattern on the paper, and he was instantly attracted, and couldn't help asking, "What is this?"

On the piece of paper in Ning Manxuan's hand, a hand-painted monster appeared, as if it had been traced from a mural. The human face is a snake body, and the whole body is red, which is quite hideous.

"Candle Dragon. Ning Manxuan said lightly, "Also known as Candle Jiuyin, the image of a human-faced snake body, legend has it that it is thousands of miles long, when you open your eyes, it is day, when you close your eyes, it is night, you can inhale for winter, exhale for summer, and you can call for wind and rain, don't drink water, don't eat, don't sleep and don't rest." ”

Li Qing grinned: "Isn't this nonsense, a mythical story made up." ”

"I know it's fake, I don't need you to tell me. Ning Manxuan frowned and glanced at Li Qing, "The candle dragon is an ancient mythical beast in ancient legends, and it is recorded in detail in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", and some ethnic groups use it as a totem. ”

"Hmm. Li Qing nodded and sat down beside Ning Manxuan, "But what does this have to do with me?"

Ning Manxuan's beautiful eyes condensed slightly, looked at Li Qing for a while, and then reached out and pulled out another picture under the folder. This picture is a tracing drawing of Li Qing's back pattern, and Ning Manxuan has done a certain amount of processing and restoration to make the image clearer and clearer.

Putting the two pictures side by side, Ning Manxuan raised her little head and looked at Li Qing with a strange expression: "Don't you think, it's very similar?"

Li Qing stared intently for a while, his pupils shrank suddenly, and he felt as if his eyes had suddenly been pricked by needles, and there was a burst of soreness.

Putting the two pictures on the table, Ning Manxuan crossed her hands together and gently pressed her chin: "I sent the pattern on your body to a senior sister who specializes in this area, and she sent this picture after reading it, there is at least eighty percent certainty that the pattern on your back is this kind of thing." ”

Picking up the two pictures and looking at them carefully, Li Qing said again: "What else did she say? Can you determine where it came from?"

Ning Manxuan shook her head in confusion: "There are many ancient ancestors who used the candle dragon as a totem, and they are all unexaminable. Even in the eyes of the ancient ancestors, the phenomenon of extreme day and night was also implicated in this divine beast, so it was difficult to trace the source, but..."

"But what?" Li Qing hurriedly asked.

"But the senior sister also said that this pattern on your back looks like a totem, and it doesn't look like a totem. ”

The corners of Li Qing's mouth tugged slightly: "What does this mean?"

"There are three stages of totem worship, the first stage is to resemble the original worship object, the second stage is to personify the worship object, or mix it with human elements, such as the human face and snake body of the candle dragon, and the third stage is ancestor worship. Ning Manxuan's beautiful eyes blinked slightly, and the bottom of her eyes shimmered slightly, "And the pattern on your back, between the first stage and the second stage, is more like a deliberate hiding of some kind of information." ”

Shaking his head, it was Li Qing's turn to look confused: "Man Xuan, you can make it clear, I don't understand." ”

"Look here. Ning Manxuan said and took the pattern in Li Qing's hand, and the green onion finger lightly tapped on it, "From here all the way down, don't you think this line is very strange?"

Li Qing's eyes widened, and she couldn't help but lean over to look, almost touching Ning Manxuan's face, and both of them seemed to be able to hear each other's breathing.

Because her heart was too heavy, Li Qing didn't think about it at all, Ning Manxuan on the side was quite sensitive, her little face instantly swelled with a touch of red, and she writhed her delicate body a little uneasily.

"What's strange?" Li Qing asked inexplicably, turning his head to look at Ning Manxuan, the two looked at each other, the distance was only less than ten centimeters, and the faint body fragrance lingered between the wings of his nose, which was quite intoxicating.

"Uh, I'm sorry. Li Qing reacted, retracted with an embarrassed face, and the two distanced themselves again, but felt a little lost in his heart.

Pursing her lips, her jade finger knocked on the pattern, Ning Manxuan calmed down for a moment, and then said softly: "Not only here, but also here, even here, if you look at it as a totem of the ancient ancestors, the pattern does not conform to common sense." ”

"What's that?" Li Qing asked with a strange expression.

"Mountains. Ning Manxuan glanced at Li Qing, reached out and flipped through the pile of materials, and casually pulled out another drawing, "This is the original architectural drawing of the Blue Mountain Mansion in Gangbei more than a hundred years ago, in order to build this mansion, the Xie family, one of the four major families, used a lot of financial resources to flatten a mountain. It was this mountain that started in the first place, and it no longer exists. ”

Ning Manxuanyu pointed her finger to Li Qing to see, and then put the two patterns together: "If you compare it, don't you think that this kind of mountain painting method is similar?"

Li Qing's body stiffened slightly: "You mean to say that this is a map of the terrain of the mountains?"

"Of course, that's just my guess. Ning Manxuan threw the drawings on the table and said with a small pout.

"Your guess is probably right, since the scar in front of me is a building, and the back should be where this building is, but the map is hidden in a totemic way. As long as we find the place depicted on the map, we will be able to find the building and unravel all the mysteries. Li Qing's eyes were full of excitement, and in a moment of impulse, he suddenly reached out and grabbed Ning Manxuan's pretty cheek, couldn't help but lean over, and kissed her fair little face, "Manxuan, you are so smart!"

Ning Manxuan's body stiffened, her back straightened, and her whole person was petrified. I only felt that the blood in my brain seemed to be drained in an instant, and I was dazed and blank, what happened just now? Li Qing actually kissed himself?

Li Qing also suddenly came to his senses, and licked his lips with an embarrassed face: "That... I'm sorry, I'm so excited, I can't control it for a while. ”

Seeing that Ning Manxuan's cheeks were crimson and still sluggish, Li Qing grinned: "I bought fruit, do you want to eat a little?"

"No, I still have to go to work. Ning Manxuan stood up as she spoke, and hurriedly walked out a little nervously.

Li Qing hesitated slightly, stretched out his hand and pointed to the desktop: "Can I take these pictures back?"

"Yes, I still have a backup, the building plan hasn't been sorted out yet, you have to wait, I'll call you if I find anything else." After Ning Manxuan said this, she glanced at Li Qing lightly, turned around and walked out of the study.

Ning Manxuan walked out, Li Qing slapped herself lightly, walked around the study a few times, her expression was cloudy, and after a while, she put away the pictures on the table and walked out.

As soon as Li Qing came out of the study, she saw Ning Manxuan Yu walking out of the fitting room with a bag on her arm, and she had already changed into a white shapewear dress, which perfectly outlined her beautiful figure. A Panama straw hat on his head is just right, and the plain room is a little more playful out of thin air.

"I'll send you there. Li Qing hurriedly said.

"No, I have my own car. After the calm just now, Ning Manxuan's expression had returned to its original state, and her voice was quite cold.

Li Qing rubbed his hands: "You have helped me so much, you have to let me do something to thank you." It's nothing compared to your help, but I feel a little better. ”

"Didn't you thank me for bringing me medicine that night?" Ning Manxuan opened the shoe cabinet and looked at it, then pulled out a pair of white high heels. She seems to be particularly fond of white things, whether it is the wardrobe or the shoe cabinet, it is mostly white.

"You weren't sick that night because of me. And although I sent medicine all the way over, I didn't have to go home empty-handed. Li Qing muttered, thinking of Ning Manxuan's fair and smooth skin and graceful body curves that night, he couldn't help but feel a stir.

Ning Manxuan is not a fool, of course, she understood in an instant what Li Qing meant by the so-called "not returning empty-handed", she couldn't help but blush, glared at him and said, "Don't mention the things of that night again!"

While speaking, Ning Manxuan had already put on her high heels, pushed open the door and walked out, Li Qing was full of excitement, followed her out honestly, and locked the door casually.

The two of them went down to the first floor and went to the parking lot inside the community, Ning Manxuan had a cold face from beginning to end, and seemed to be a little angry, but the red cheeks were a little inexplicable, which made Li Qing scratch her head.

"Why do you keep following me!" Ning Manxuan shouted impatiently standing in front of a white car.

"I'll send you. Li Qing scratched his head and replied unexplained.

Ning Manxuan took out the car keys from her bag, turned her head and glared at Li Qing: "I said no!"

"I don't feel at ease if I don't send you. Li Qing spread his hands and said with a hippie smile. Have fun reading every day
