The matter is almost over here, Zhou Tong personally followed Zhao Han to Zhao Jingshan's house to investigate the situation of the pottery puppet and Tianxuan, Zhao Jingshan's hometown is J City, and he is engaged in real estate, and there are many real estate in J City, the real cunning rabbit three caves. Taking advantage of Zhao Jingshan's temporary confinement in the detention center, Zhao Han led his soldiers to rummage through all of Zhao Jingshan's properties for special reasons, and found a stone room for storing pottery dolls in a villa on the outskirts of the city.

The stone room is hidden on the second floor of the basement, covered by the garage located on the first floor of the basement, very hidden, when they arrived, all the lattice shelves inside were emptied, only a few broken pottery puppets remained, and Zhao Jingshan, who had been prepared, seemed to be not afraid of exposing the situation about the pottery puppets at all, and each pottery puppet was also pasted with the birth date of the person being used.

Zhao Han slammed his fist on the wall with hatred, and said, "Old fox, I know that I can't let him go lightly!" There are so many shelves here, and almost every lattice has traces of storing pottery puppets, and it is roughly estimated that there are as many as fifty pottery puppets that have been transferred, which means that how many fifty people are still under the control of Zhao Jingshan to do the evil deeds of changing their lives against the sky and diverting their vitality.

Zhou Tong had already expected this to be the case, but he suspected that it was not Zhao Jingshan's hand, the female corpse had been destroyed by the black dragon, Zhao Jingshan had no reason to care about the life or death of these warlocks, and it was very likely that the person who transferred these pottery puppets was Tianxuan, or someone else who knew about Zhao Jingshan's situation and wanted to use the pottery puppets to do evil.

There were also a few servants waiting in the villa, who looked frightened when Zhao Hanyong came in, and they didn't know what was going on, and they were temporarily confined in the living room on the first floor, looking at these people's soldiers who suddenly occupied the villa with trepidation.

Zhou Tong said to Zhao Han: "First go and ask the servants here." ”

"Good. "Zhao Han now puts Zhou Tong's opinion first and completely obeys Zhou Tong's orders.

When they arrived in the living room on the first floor, Zhou Tong asked about the situation one by one, they were all ordinary servants who didn't know the truth, and they only knew that Zhao Jingshan would come to the villa to live in the villa for a few days from time to time, and they were never allowed to go to the basement. Thinking about it again, there is a secret door independent of the villa in the stone room, Zhou Tong believes that what these people say will not be false, they really don't know.

Just as he was at a loss, Ling Yuan suddenly kicked someone out of the shadows, the man looked at Ling Yuan in fear, knelt down in front of Ling Yuan, pale face trembling and bleeding lips begging: "Master spare your life, master spare your life-"

Zhou Tong took a closer look, the man's abdomen was oozing blood, and the hem of his dirty shirt was dyed blood-red, it was precisely because of the smell of blood that Ling Yuan keenly discovered this man.

Zhou Tong walked over, pressed the man's abdomen, and asked the servant, "Is there a first aid kit?"

"Yes, yes. The maid trembled and rummaged in the cabinet of the coffee table in the living room, took out a first-aid kit, Zhou Tong tore open his shirt, revealing the gauze that was completely stained red by blood, the gauze was very rough, and the edge was even strangled into the wound, Zhou Tong untied the gauze, and a black wound inside was deep and long, and the maid who couldn't stand the stimulation screamed when she saw this, and hid behind the others in fear.

Zhou Tong frowned, and asked not very hopefully: "Is there chicken blood in the house?" You can give me a little glutinous rice or grapefruit leaves, and if it is not good, bring me some salt." ”

"Chicken, chicken ......blood," someone said, "Yes, there is chicken blood, my fellow just sent a little rooster over today to make up for my daughter-in-law's body, I'll get it right away!"

Ling Yuan took it from the man's hand, directly cut off the cockscomb with a knife, squeezed all the cockscomb blood into the bowl, and handed it to Zhou Tong. Someone next to him brought the glutinous rice, Ling Yuan took it, and watched Zhou Tong's movements.

Zhou Tong pressed the man's wound, and squeezed out thick black blood, accompanied by a disgusting stench, and those who were a little closer couldn't help but turn their heads and vomit.

The man screamed and began to struggle violently, Zhao Han quickly pressed his arm and commanded, "Suppress!"

"Yes!"

Several armed police soldiers immediately pressed the man to the ground with rapid movements, the man's eyes were red and he kept screaming, his eyes were round, and the blood shot skyrocketed, and the sharp pain stimulated him to almost lose his mind.

Zhou Tong endured the stench, squeezed out all the black blood in the man's abdomen, and then saw that something was exposed in the wound, the small ball of black and bright things kept squirming, the wound cracked bigger and bigger, but the color of the blood became brighter and brighter, Zhou Tong saw that it was almost there, and splashed all the cockscomb blood in his hand on the wound, and in an instant, green smoke came out, and the man let out a beast-like roar, struggling more and more, and the sweat wet the dusty shirt, as if someone had fished it out of the water.

Zhou Tong's hands were red with blood, and he said, "Bear with me." The wriggling black and shiny thing in the wound stopped squirming as soon as the cockscomb blood was poured, and there were tweezers in the first aid kit.

The fat insect was covered in hard armor, red with blood, and its mouthparts were still opening and closing, and the wings on its back flapped and drooped down, and died.

Zhou Tong exhaled when he saw this, and then looked at the condition of the man's wound, the blood was gushing out, Zhou Tong stopped the bleeding first, and then wiped the glutinous rice around the wound, and finally put a bandage.

The man's willpower was strong enough, and he was not dead until now, he fell limply in the arms of the warrior, panting roughly, and it took a long time to see his breath before he calmed down.

Zhou Tong didn't give him time to rest, and said, "Where are those pottery puppets in the basement?"

The man looked at Zhou Tong, looked away again, and said in a hoarse voice: "Was, was taken away by a devil, I don't know where he took the pottery puppet, but, but ......" His abdomen twitched, he paused to speak, grinned in pain, and the wound was even more painful than before, but he knew that if it wasn't for the young man in front of him, his life would be lost here, the man steadied, took out a booklet from his pants pocket with trembling hands and handed it to Zhou Tong, "The list on the pottery puppet is all here......"

The book was stained with blood so that it was impossible to see the original appearance, and even a few pages were stuck together because of blood soaking, Zhou Tong opened the booklet casually, and at a glance saw Luo Lianhai, who had been imprisoned by the pottery puppet before, and there was a horizontal line on it, and a question mark was put at the end.

The black beetle had bitten through his internal organs, and with the excessive blood loss, the man spoke with great difficulty, "The people who were crossed out are dead, and the rest are still alive, you, you can go to them......"

"Good. Zhou Tong put the notebook away and said, "Thank you." He looked up at Zhao Han and discussed, "Officer Zhao, send him to the hospital, the evil worms in the wound have been killed by me, and the evil qi has been treated, and the wound will be treated according to normal conditions." ”

"Okay. Zhao Han nodded, waved his hand and ordered, and the soldiers carried the man out of the villa and sent him to the hospital.

After retreating from the villa, Zhou Tong handed the notebook to Zhao Han and said, "I still have to trouble Officer Zhao to run around, check the situation of these people, and I will explain the relevant situation carefully with them on the Chu family's side and assist Officer Zhao." ”

"Thank you. ”

Zhou Tong smiled and said, "You shouldn't thank me, I just did what ordinary citizens should do." ”

Zhao Han smiled heartily: "If ordinary citizens are like you, we armed police should be laid off." ”

Zhou Tong couldn't help laughing.

When he returned to the hotel, Zhou Tong went into the bathroom for the first time to take a shower, he bought some grapefruit leaves in advance to get rid of the residual evil qi on his body, and after taking a bath, Ling Yuan took his mobile phone and said, "Zeng Ruiming's phone." ”

Zhou Tong said suddenly: "I almost forgot about him, look at my brain." He took the phone and said apologetically, "I'm sorry Mr. Zeng, I've been too busy these days to contact you." ”

"Where, where. Zeng Ruiming was a little restrained when he heard Zhou Tong be so polite, and he said to Zhou Tong crampedly: "I promised to help Mr. Zhou carve a turtle-shaped ballast, which would have taken about a week, but now this matter may have to be delayed." ”

"What's wrong?" the unexpected change made Zhou Tong stunned for a moment, and asked, "Is there something wrong with Mr. Zeng?"

"It's a problem in my family. Zeng Ruiming sighed sadly, "My grandmother passed away." ”

Zhou Tong: "Festival mourning." ”

Birth, old age, sickness and death are inevitable, Zhou Tong can understand, but Zeng Ruiming promised Zhou Tong to stay in J City for a few more days, and wait until the turtle-shaped ballast is carved before going back, but now this situation is definitely not good, Zeng Ruiming has to go home to give the old man a funeral.

Zeng Ruiming's hometown is in S City, the real Jiangnan Water Town, and it is not an exaggeration for the girls there to be described as made of water, even when they quarrel with others, they are soft-spoken, and they don't have a temper at all. The man is also very soft, his masculine face is broken up by the soft spring breeze, but like a willow branch, there is a tenacity in his bones. Everyone always has a smile on their faces, they are very humble and courteous between people, and they are also quite enthusiastic about treating foreign tourists.

He thought about it for a moment and decided to go to S City with Zeng Ruiming, on the one hand, he valued the ballast weapon, and on the other hand, he wanted to relax.

Recently, the days have been too tight, every day is busy from morning to night, no matter how little giant he is, he can't stay up like this, Zhou Tong discussed with Zeng Ruiming on the phone, and then bought a plane with Zeng Ruiming on the same day and flew to S City.

Ling Yuan was happy with this little honeymoon trip, and he and Zhou Tong soaked in the charming customs of the Jiangnan water town every day, and lived a comfortable life for a few days.

Zeng Ruiming's grandmother died at the age of 100, which was a happy funeral, so the atmosphere in the Zeng family was not very sad, but Zeng Ruiming's parents had died a long time ago, and his uncle's generation was gone, and his peers were all girls, and he was the oldest direct male, so his attendance was indispensable at the funeral, and he was also the protagonist.

Because it was a happy funeral, Zhou Tong was also invited by Zeng Ruiming to attend his grandmother's funeral, on the day of the funeral, the demeanor of everyone in the Zeng family was revealed, and each process was strictly in accordance with the traditional funeral process, "buying water", "traveling talents", "funeral", "burning incense", "burial" and so on one by one.

Wait until the evening is the time to entertain the guests, the joy and mourning are different from the crying and mourning, the dinner is very large, there is more than the meaning of the longevity and joy of the deceased, there is no taboo in the banquet, according to the tradition, the troupe will be invited to sing a few happy and mourning plays, the Zeng family is everyone, every step will not be less, and the dinner is very grand.

Zhou Tong, as Zeng Ruiming's relatives and friends, sat in a relatively remote location. Zeng Ruiming was worried that no one else knew Zhou Tong, and neglected Zhou Tong, so he personally took Zhou Tong into the table and sat down, and the two walked halfway, Zeng Ruiming was stopped by someone to toast, and the young man made a thorough gesture to Zeng Ruiming, and said: "Mrs. Zeng is long-lived, go peacefully, Mr. Zeng doesn't have to be too sad." ”

Zeng Ruiming thanked him, drank the wine that the man toasted, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw that the position of the table was vacant, and the dishes and chopsticks on the table did not move, and asked, "How is Mr. Wu's situation?"

"Thank you for your concern, Mr. Zeng, he is getting better, but he is still weak and inconvenient to attend, I hope Mr. Zeng will not be surprised. ”

"Where, where, I hope Mr. Wu can recover soon, and I will definitely visit him if I have the opportunity in the future. ”

After the two were polite, Zeng Ruiming smiled at Zhou Tong embarrassedly, took Zhou Tong to the seat and sat down, said sorry and went to deal with the other guests, and within a while, seven or eight people came to pay tribute to Zeng Ruiming.

Zhou Tong sat for a while, eating with Ling Yuan, when someone suddenly asked, "Is it Mr. Zhou Tongzhou?"

Zhou Tong looked at it when he heard this, and saw that it was the young man who had been polite to Zeng Ruiming before, and when the man saw Zhou Tong's response, he sighed with relief, and said with a slightly shy smile: "Sure enough, it is Mr. Zhou, I have only seen Mr. Zhou from a distance, and I am afraid that I will be abrupt for a while." ”

"Don't be so polite, may I ask who you are?" Zhou Tong dared to be sure that he hadn't seen this person before this time, how could he recognize himself?

Wu Minzhi is accustomed to speaking politely, and he can't let go of his actions during his conversation, and he is as restrained as the old master left behind in the old society, even if he listens to Zhou Tong's words, he is still unnaturally said: "In Xia Wu Minzhi, he was a guest at the Chu family during the Chinese New Year, and I was fortunate to hear about Mr. Zhou's helping the koi fish jump over the dragon gate, and I also saw Mr. Zhou from afar at the Chu family banquet. ”

"I see. Zhou Tong nodded knowingly.

Wu Minzhi said a few more polite words to Zhou Tong, and the gesture of wanting to speak and stopping was very obvious, Zhou informed that these children of the family had a little awkward arrogance, and some words were very embarrassed to say, so he asked straight to the point: "If Mr. Wu has something, just say it directly." ”

was exposed, Wu Minzhi smiled ashamedly and said, "Ashamed, really ashamed." I really have something to ask Mr. Zhou for help. ”

"Speak. ”

"This has something to do with my brother. "People on the left and right are looking at them," Wu Minzhi said, "take a step to speak." ”

Zhou Tong nodded and stood up, Ling Yuan also stood up with him, Wu Min was stunned, looked at Zhou Tong and asked Zhou Tong what he meant, mischievous thoughts, Zhou Tong deliberately said: "This is Neizi." ”

Ling Yuan: "......"

Wu Minzhi: "......"

Wu Minzhi's face turned red, and it didn't take much time to accept this matter with this old master-like character, "Then let's come together." ”

When he arrived at a side hall, Wu Minzhi looked left and right, and only closed the door after seeing that there was no one, sat next to Zhou Tong, and said with a sad face: "My eldest brother is very sick, I went to the hospital to check but couldn't find anything, only said that it was weak and weak, I originally thought it was related to the curse of ghosts and gods, so I went to the Chu family to ask the Chu family to check it, and I couldn't find out the cause, they all said that my eldest brother is rich and long-lived physiognomy and eight characters, so I don't have to worry too much." But seeing that my eldest brother is seriously ill day by day, I can't do anything, I can't just wait for my fate, right? I missed Mr. Zhou last time, and I met again this time, and I asked Mr. Zhou to treat my eldest brother. He asked the Chu family to see it before, and then he tried to go to City A to invite Zhou Tong, but the store door was not open, and Zhou Tong was not in City A at all during that time.

Zhou Tong only listened to Wu Minzhi's description and couldn't guess his eldest brother's problem, so he said to Wu Minzhi: "I happen to have nothing to do recently, so let's do it, I'll go with you to see your eldest brother's situation, maybe it's really weak and weak?" He smiled and calmed the anxious Wu Minzhi.

After Zhou Tong said this, Wu Minzhi's expression relaxed a little, and he nodded with a smile: "Then it's troublesome Mr. Zhou, I'll go back and let the family prepare, when Mr. Zhou is free, I'll send a car to pick you up." Unconsciously, Wu Minzhi spoke a little more naturally, how can there be young people who talk like him in this era, and older people don't say so, this Wu Minzhi is estimated to have strict family rules, and the more nervous he is, the more he puts those rules and regulations on himself.

Please give Zeng Ruiming the turtle-shaped ballast has to wait for his grandmother's first seven years before he can start carving, during this time Zhou Tong should be free, he saw Wu Minzhi's anxious expression, so he said: "The dinner is almost over at nine o'clock, if it is convenient for Mr. Wu at that time, I can help Mr. Wu take a look at it today." ”

Wu Min was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "That's great! ”

Back at the table, the stage was babbling and singing drama, Zhou Tong looked at the colorful stage and suddenly saw a flower in front of him, Ling Yuan supported Zhou Tong in time, and asked worriedly, "What's wrong?"

"It's fine. Zhou Tong shook his head and shook the messy colors in front of him, "I was dazzled." ”

When he opened his eyes again, Zhou Tong saw a trace of threads of different colors on the bodies of the people around him, those lines were long and short, curved and straight, all different, but they suddenly disappeared for a moment, and no matter how much he blinked, he couldn't see it.

Ling Yuan's eyes fell on Zhou Tong's yin and yang eyes, he stroked Zhou Tong's eyes and said, "Your yin and yang eyes have changed. ”

"What?" Zhou Tong asked puzzledly, he took out his mobile phone from his pocket, tuned to the selfie interface, looked at the screen carefully, and was surprised to find that the yin and yang eyes changed again, there was a little white buried in the yin fish, and a little black was hidden in the yang fish.

He suddenly remembered the record in the book: "Heaven and earth are harmonious, and all things are born, and yin and yang change one after another." ”

His yin and yang eyes have evolved.

Zhou Tong was dumbfounded, it is said in the book that the yin and yang eyes can not only see ghosts, but also cut off people's lifelines, on people's life and death, are those tiny silk threads he just saw in the human body all human lifelines?

Everyone has a lifeline hidden in their body, a long lifeline is a long life, a short lifeline is a short life, a tortuous lifeline is a rough life, and a straight lifeline is smooth and safe, these lifelines symbolize the changes of life.

Zhou Tong pursed his lips, not thinking that this was a good thing.

He doesn't want to have this kind of heavenly ability, it is enough for an ordinary person to have a little or two golden fingers, this kind of power is not something that he can afford.

After realizing this, he gave up the cultivation in that ancient book, and now it seems that the Yin and Yang Eyes will evolve automatically.

Zhou Tong sighed silently.

After the dinner was over, Zhou Tong said hello to Zeng Ruiming and went to Wu's house with Wu Minyi.

These big families in S City live very closely, and the distance between the Zeng family and the Wu family's old house is only a few thousand meters, and it takes more than ten minutes to drive.

Wu Minzhi respectfully invited Zhou Tong into the house.

The Wu family is not at home, his eldest brother is seriously ill, and now Wu Minzhi is the best to speak, after entering the door, several juniors came to greet him, Wu Minzhi hurriedly responded, and took Zhou Tong to the second floor.

Wu Minzhi's eldest brother is named Wu Huanzhi, born in a scholarly family like the Wu family, and is a well-known literary master in the circle, who has published countless historical-oriented appreciation and commentary works, with rave reviews and excellent reputation.

Entering Wu Minzhi's room, Zhou Tong was shocked by the amount of books in their room, Wu Huanzhi's room was very large, the furniture was simple and rarely decorated, and most of the free space was placed with bookshelves, like a small library, each column of bookshelves was full of all kinds of books, neatly placed in categories.

Seeing this, Zhou Tong glanced at the first row of bookshelves, and thought that they were all historical books, but he didn't expect them to be a few folklore, and a few horrors were also displayed in them, so he couldn't help but take a few more looks.

Wu Minzhi said: "This is the eldest brother's hobby, and he usually likes to watch these to pass the time." ”

Zhou Tong nodded, and looked at it again, many of the authors were the same person, this author named Mr. Mustard Grass He had also heard of it, and he bought a few of his books when he was in college, but he felt that the metaphysical knowledge in them was very exquisitely written, and a few of them could be used as Mr. Textbooks.

Without thinking much about it, Zhou Tong sat on the edge of Wu Huanzhi's bed and carefully checked Wu Huanzhi's situation.

There was another pain in his eyes, Zhou Tong "hissed", closed his eyes, and when he opened his eyes tentatively, he saw that the lifeline in Wu Huanzhi's body was falling in front of him, but the original long and straight lifeline was knotted in the middle, the front section was like an ordinary lifeline, and the back was withered and eroded, shrinking into a small ball behind the knot.

Zhou Tong blurted out in surprise: "Looking at your brother's face, it should be a rich and noble life, a smooth life, a straight upstream, and a long life, how can this lifeline be knotted? Has he encountered anything recently?"

Wu Minzhi was completely stunned when he heard this, and he didn't know what the situation was at all.
