16. 16th eclipse
Because he was not sure whether Chuan Wu would be injured by Bai Xuyao's white flames, Shen Qing asked Chuan Wu to force the peach blossom miasma to the surface of the water and then hide.
As soon as the white flames touched the water, they spread, and within a few moments, the entire lake was already boiling. I don't know how Chuanwu did it, with a few muffled sounds in the water, the ground also shook for a while, the water surface suddenly gave birth to a water column, there was no trace of the glass cup in the water column, after the water column fell, what emerged was an old peach tree, the branches were thick and dumb, the branches were hideous, and there were peach blossoms in full bloom like the peach blossoms in March, just like an old witch of seven or eight with the face of a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, and she could float on the surface of the water only by relying on the thick roots, which was really weird.
The pale flames entangled the old peach tree with extreme cold, covering the roots of the entire lake, and the peach tree twitched, and the peach blossoms fell like a torrential rain, but in a moment they covered the surface of the lake, and formed a thick layer of mist on the surface of the water. Bai Xuyao raised his eyebrows at Shen Qing, and the meaning was self-evident, "You go." ”
Shen Qing didn't shirk either, it just happened to be used as a leveling.
The peach blossom miasma is not a ghost, but more like a spirit, so Shen Qing doesn't plan to use soul power, thinking that Xiaohong always has an unexpected effect, Shen Qing suddenly combined Xiaohong's power and spiritual power to attack the old peach tree, and at first touch the branches of the peach tree disappeared and disappeared, Shen Qing thought it was useless, who knew that the water suddenly exploded, and the suppressed pale flame suddenly turned red and burned along the scattered roots, and the old peach tree also let out a piercing scream, and the place that was attacked by Xiaohong and spiritual power just now turned into a cloud of pink mist, and the whole peach tree was almost cut off at the waist, and under the burning of the flames, the entire lake suddenly had a touch of scarletImmediately, a foul smell emanated from the entire lake, and dried corpses floated up. And after Shen Qing saw that this trick worked, he attacked several times in a row, and now the peach tree has all turned into a pink mist-like peach blossom miasma, it turned out that the old peach tree was actually made of peach blossom miasma, originally to pretend to be dead to deceive the enemy, so unlucky, was broken by a whim of Shen Qing.
When the roots of the peach tree also turned into a powder mist, the red flame rose into the air, and the flames burned the powder mist little by little, and the stench in the air became more and more intense.
Shen Qing saw that the peach blossom miasma was engulfed by the flames, and for a moment reminded Bai Xuyao of the promise to give him the peach blossom miasma, but he inexplicably felt that Bai Xuyao would not be so unreliable, after all, their group of ghosts still had to rely on him for food!
Afterwards, Bai Xuyao threw Shen Qing a red petal-shaped crystal, and before Shen Qing could warm it in his pocket, he was taken by Chuan Wu.
When the peach blossom miasma is not there, the dried corpses on the lake will be clear, there are about six or seven bodies, some have become skeleton-like, some of the corpses are still covered with blackened flesh and blood, all men, the most strange thing is that they still have a complete head, the cheeks are shriveled, only covered with a gray-black face, the eyes are blood-red, the eyeballs have disappeared, leaving two black holes, the raised mouth is almost to the ears, making people look discolored, these corpses must have been buried in the peach blossom miasma after being killed for it to absorb nutrients.
When Shen Qing was thinking about whether to let Bai Xuyao burn all these corpses with a fire, Yao Yuan ran out and looked at the corpses on the lake with a surprised expression, looking at his expression, it seemed that there were people who had seen them. It turned out that Yao Yuan had a friend who was in the police station, and the freshest corpse happened to be the missing person record that Yao Yuan had seen, so he simply asked Yao Yuan to call the police to deal with it, and with his identity, he could also give the police a satisfactory explanation.
Solving this matter, Shen Qing rushed to the dining room impatiently, the servants who had not seen anyone before were affected by the peach blossom miasma and fainted in all corners, and they all woke up with the help of Yao Yuan, so Shen Qing finally had lunch.
In the room, Mrs. Pan also woke up, lying on the bed in a trance, a small face, pale, and tear stains in the corners of her eyes, when Shen Qing stepped into the room with a glass cup, Mrs. Pan's body trembled obviously, Yao Yuan had just treated the injuries of the Pan family father and son, and there was nothing wrong at the moment, so he naturally followed Shen Qing into the room to watch the excitement.
Shen Qing put the increasingly clear and beautiful glass cup on the bedside table, and said to Mrs. Pan, who had already closed her eyes, "Mrs. Pan, look at this, is it familiar?"
Mrs. Pan was silent, as if she was asleep, Shen Qing seemed to be very patient at this time, and she was not in a hurry, and said leisurely, "It's a pity that Pan Chengyan has always been patient and filial to his mother, who knows that he was almost killed by his dearest mother, just because of sexual orientation problems, tsk......"
"What do you know!" said Mrs. Pan suddenly, "we don't need you as an outsider in our family affairs, and we want to be with my son, unless I die!"
"Your son almost met Hades with you, and I saw your determination. Shen Qing touched his chin, "However, I'm really curious, why are you so opposed, and even don't hesitate to use unknown evil things to change Pan Chengyan." ”
Mrs. Pan's expression froze, "I don't know what you're talking about. ”
"Let me guess, you have studied archaeology, and you like to visit the antique street, especially when you are worried about your son's sexual problems, there are not many places to relieve boredom, the antique street must be one of them, when people are immersed in their favorite affairs, they can always forget some boredom, but the subconscious will always pay attention to this aspect. When you hear someone gossiping, somebody buys something, has a beautiful woman to accompany them every night, as long as it's a man, and wants to die in a dream or something, isn't that just like a heart?"
"Don't say it!" Mrs. Pan glared at Shen Qing deadly, her whole body trembling violently.
Shen Qing smiled, picked up the glass cup and stroked it inch by inch, and then said, "If your son can also have this kind of dream, then will he be able to become normal?" You know this may be ridiculous, but whether it's true or not, it's better to treat a dead horse as a live horse doctor than to sit back and wait to be killed. So you inquire, who knows that there is such a thing, you people who like to study antiques, will have an inexplicable trust in these rumors, so you buy it and secretly put it in your son's room, maybe late at night, you will eavesdrop outside the room, does your son react, or ......"
"That's enough!" Mrs. Pan screamed, breaking down and crying, "I don't know! I don't know how it came to be like this......"
"This is just my speculation, and it must be different from the facts, right? But if someone deliberately lures ghosts and evil things to your house, next time everyone can help you collect the body. ”
Shen Qing had already guessed most of it, and Mrs. Pan was no longer struggling, "I didn't hear other people chatting, but I entered a newly opened store in an antique street, where many things are very interesting, among which is this glass cup, I just glanced at it...... Then the shopkeeper told me about its legend, and I bought it, and the shopkeeper said that if someone else found the glazed cup, the legend would be invalid. As for the rest, it's pretty much the same as you said. ”
"What's the name of the store, and what's the owner like?"
Mrs. Pan thought about it carefully, her brain was blank, and she said hesitantly, "I didn't pay attention to the name of the store, I just remember that the store is very remote, and I only found out when I was in a trance, as for the appearance of the store...... She, she's a woman, can't tell the age, red lips, red lips are beautiful, the rest, I don't remember......"
I don't know the name of the store, I don't know what it looks like.
At this point, Shen Qing's trip in the Pan family came to an end, Yao Yuan and Shen Qing left together, and when they separated, Yao Yuan deliberately made a gesture to Shen Qing, "I don't know if Brother Shen knows about the Yao family in South China?"
"Your family, ghost hunters, I haven't heard of it, what's the matter?"
"It's nothing, it's just that Brother Shen is a little similar to an old friend of mine. Yao Yuan looked at Shen Qing, sighed abruptly, took out his business card and handed it to Shen Qing, "This is my contact information, I hope to make friends with Brother Shen." ”
"Naturally. After Shen Qing and Yao Yuan exchanged contact information, it was an official farewell.
When there was no one around, Shen Qing turned his head to look at Bai Xuyao, "You don't talk much today." ”
"I'm hungry and panicked, and I can't speak. Bai Xuyao leaned weakly against Shen Qing and snorted.
For the first time, Shen Qing felt that he was talking too much, shook his head at Bai Xuyao, and took the car to the antique street that Mrs. Pan mentioned. Deliberately took a turn inside, all of them were old shops, and the remote shops that Mrs. Pan said were naturally nowhere to be found, and Shen Qing was not disappointed, it was strange that it was so easy to find.
"How did you guess what you said to that stupid woman?"
"Watching more TV and reading more books, the brain is naturally big. ”
"That's it?"
"What do you think?"
"I thought your mental power was already able to spy on the memories of ordinary people. ”
"You have a big brain, admire. ”
“…… Forget it, where are you going next, going home?"
"Go to the seafood market. ”
"I'm watching you eat again, you're so cruel......!
"Shut up. ”
……
In a corner of the antique street, the faint candle flame was lit, the shopkeeper rubbed the grease and powder on the ancient bronze mirror, and the black hair was pulled into a bun, only a wooden hairpin was inserted in it, and the wooden door behind him was pushed open, "Squeak-" A wail like a broken cry was replaced by a messy footstep, and the squeamish daughter's family was excited, "The things here are so beautiful! Come in quickly!" "Yes, yes, Miss!" "Awan, slow down......"
Lifting the bead curtain with his bare hand, the shopkeeper's red lips smiled slowly, "Does the little girl like it?"
The red bean beads of general size are red like blood, only a red rope is connected, and the acacia knot is buckled, and in the dim candlelight, it is small and bright like jade.
The shopkeeper's nails were dyed with Zhu Dan, stroking on this string of red bean bracelets, and slowly reciting a poem, as if reciting a love spell-
Red beans are born in the south, and a few branches are sent in spring.
May you pick more, this thing is the most lovely.
"Little girl, do you have anyone you like?"
