Chapter 61: The Clue Emerges

Xia Jing put down the copper bell, picked up the soul locking mirror and looked at it again, and said, "It's the same as this mirror, it's the 'thing of the dead'." Let me tell you this, there are two kinds of so-called 'things of the dead'. One is the funeral goods of the dead, just like this white jade wrench, they generally attach the last resentment of the deceased. The other is a person who has the power to exorcise ghosts, and before he dies, he voluntarily pours his mana into a "dead thing" and passes it on to future generations as a magic weapon, that is, a 'spiritual object'. ”

I can't help but think of the things in the old lady's black box, could it be that those are the so-called "spiritual things"?

"Brother Chen, your throat is very dry!" Xia Jing said with an aggrieved face.

Xue Chen got up and walked towards the house, thinking that he was an errand runner!

"Do you know the 'Spirit Maiden'?" Xia Jing asked again.

I shook my head: "I've always heard the old lady say that I have spiritual power in me!" ”

"Old lady? This, she gave it to you? ”

I nodded: "These days, if she didn't help me, I wouldn't be able to survive now!" ”

"Not necessarily!" Xia Jing retorted: "The spiritual power in your body is stronger than her, otherwise she wouldn't have failed to teach you." I'm afraid that if I teach you wrong, you will be hurt by yourself, and she won't be able to save you then! ”

I looked at her puzzled: "Why?" ”

"There are many Taoist assignments, which inevitably lead to disagreements, and most of the ones that have been handed down are oral or incomplete codexes, some of which are even contradictory. But your spiritual power is innate, and the old lady still doesn't know where it comes from, so you can only rely on your own sense to deal with it! ”

No wonder the old lady kept asking me to read the Codex, but she didn't point me out, it turned out that this is the reason, but why do I have spiritual power in me?

"Is spiritual power genetic?"

"Not necessarily! The hereditary spiritual power will basically be decomposed, and unless there are special circumstances, the weaker it will become. Brother Chen, he has only inherited a star and a half! ”

"I can feel it at best!" Xue Chen walked over with a tea tray, "This is Piaopiao for you!" ”

"Thank you!" Xia Jing poured a cup and drank it.

"Then I'm not genetic?" I asked.

"This depends on whether there are people in your family who are engaged in this business, of course, it is not excluded that it will be inherited every few generations, but this probability is negligible!" Xia Jing shrugged his shoulders, "Your situation is obviously not!" ”

I picked up the cup and poured it down to ease my anxiety. At this moment, it feels like layers of fog, scattered one layer, and another layer, what will be the deepest hidden mystery? Will I have a chance to meet them?

"Let's put it this way! In my experience, the answer to the mystery is in this copper bell, and the clue is in this wrench! You go look for it first, and I'll help you after I'm done with this matter! Xia Jing picked up the codex and flipped through it, smiling slightly, "Miao Qing, it turns out that the old lady is her disciple!" ”

"Do you know the old lady's master?" I asked, surprised.

"How is that possible!" Xia Jing put down the codex, bent down to me and said, "She has been dead for more than sixty years, the 'spirit object' should be a silk handkerchief, you might as well borrow it, that thing can bind ghosts!" As she spoke, she pointed to the Soul Locking Mirror again, "This thing isn't for you right now!" ”

"But last time I relied on it......"

"It's too bad! Based on what you know about yourself now, do you want to let your blood go out to hunt ghosts? Xia Jing interrupted me and smiled evilly, I suddenly felt that this girl was a little scary. That's right, people who can easily deal with ghosts are quite scary!

"This thing is good!" She picked up the ghost torturer stick and looked at it, "Borrow me to play for two days, just ...... You can teach him a lesson! ”

I looked around and asked in surprise, "Is this 'thing' still there?" ”

"It's all there!" Xia Jing said lightly: "Oh, it's all under that peach tree, but it took me a lot of effort to make it bloom!" ”

Peach? I was skeptical and asked, "Can the peach tree really ward off evil spirits?" ”

"Yes! Freshly picked peach branches are placed next to you, and you can suppress the evil spirit of falling into dreams! However, that one will not work! ”

"Because of what's underneath it?"

"That's not it, because it's infused with too much human blood, and it's so bad that it can only bloom and not bear fruit in the future! If it really comes to fruition......" Xia Jing said in an expectant tone, "I also want to taste the taste of 'ghost fruit'!" ”

Human blood! I looked at the black soil, and realized that it was not pure black, but dark red, and it was indeed soaked in blood.

Xia Jing looked at the strange eyes of the people around him, and said loudly: "Don't think about it, it's not some unclean blood, I drew it from myself." For this reason, I have lived in this remote old house for more than a month! I'm going to suffocate me! ”

I looked at her with wide eyes, oh my God, how much blood does that have to be drawn?

Xia Jing looked at me and said meaningfully: "I said, everything has a price!" Such a big house, you can't give it to me for nothing! However, now it belongs haha! ”

"Haha? Why? ”

"With this safe place, he and Piao Piao can continue to live!" Xia Jing raised a bright smile, "I'll think I'll accumulate yin virtue for myself!" ”

I don't know what happened to Duha, and I didn't ask, but I guess it must be a bizarre story.

After lunch, Xue Chen and I rushed to the site where the bus stopped last time and embarked on the return journey.

This time I chose a hard seat, don't laugh at me for being timid, I'm really afraid that I will fall into a dream again. However, it didn't work, I fell asleep anyway, and luckily this time I didn't dream.

"I'm sorry! I don't know how I fell asleep, thank you! I folded my hands and looked nervously at the person in front of me, full of apologies.

"It's okay, let's go!" Xue Chen had an indifferent expression on his face, turned around and walked forward. This way, his right shoulder was used as a pillow, and he pillowed for seven or eight hours, and he was afraid of waking up the other party, so he didn't move, and he didn't know what it felt like to be sour and numb!

I stepped forward and grabbed the duffel bag in his hand, and said, "I'll take it for you!" ”

Xue Chen was not polite, and let go directly. After leaving the station, we flagged down a taxi and rushed directly to Du's house, because I felt it was necessary to report to the old lady as soon as possible.

Although this trip did not solve my problems, at least, I am no longer so confused - I am going to go to the Dharma Temple next to solve the hidden dangers there. Then he went to Li's house to find the origin of the white jade wrench.

I knew it wasn't going to go well, but I had no choice but to take it easy!

The next morning, I got on the bus to Linxian again, and this time, there was one more person next to meβ€”"What are the ghosts like?" Is it the same as in the movies? Have you learned to draw talismans and when will you teach ......"

Among the people I know, the only person who has been chattering and asking questions and asking questions is not taboo at all to say this kind of thing, only Miss Su!
