Chapter 362: Preparing to exchange blood
Zhou Shiwei led us into Bagua Village.
Every household in Bagua Village has a small octagonal wooden plate hanging at the door of their house - the pattern of Bagua, which is also the origin of Bagua Village.
Finally stop in front of a house.
The light-colored wooden door, after the baptism of the years, was slightly white, the wooden door was closed, and Zhou Shiwei stepped forward and knocked on the door.
I noticed that this was the only house that didn't have a gossip wooden plate.
Knock knock.
Squeak, sound.
The door opened.
Half of them were opened to reveal a middle-aged man with a scruffy face, dressed in a cotton and linen gown and trousers rolled up to his knees on a hot summer day.
On his feet he wore braided sandals, and his complexion was heavy, shiny dark black.
"Whom."
The middle-aged man spoke, his voice unexpectedly low, with a faint displeasure at being disturbed.
Zhou Shiwei took out something from her arms and turned her back to us to see it clearly, only to see her hand it over and show it to the middle-aged man.
"I have a friend who needs an exorcism."
The middle-aged man's eyes changed when he saw what she handed out, and he was a little less guarded, and when he heard her words again, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and said in a low voice.
"If you exchange blood, you will suffer."
My eyes twinkled, and I couldn't help but feel a little excited.
As soon as he said exorcism, he knew that he had to exchange blood. This man is definitely experienced.
Zhou Shiwei said: "She can bear it." β
The middle-aged man pinched the thing in his hand, crushed it with a little force, and held the fragments in his hand and raised his eyebrows: "Do you want it?" β
Zhou Shiwei was very cold: "No." β
"Oh." The middle-aged man immediately flipped his hand, and the wind blew the debris down, "Come in." β
"Ning Ning, let's go." Song Li pulled my arm, and walked in with me as if Bai Ming'an was a protector on the left and on the right.
As I passed by the door, I paid a little attention.
The fragments on the ground have a little dark red, with veins of leaves, and if you look closely, it turns out to be air-dried red maple leaves.
I silently thought, maybe it's a token. It's just that this kind of voucher between rivers and lakes is very rare, and it will not be used if it is not related. Zhou Shiwei and I are barely friends, why did she help me so much?
Simply in the righteousness of an onmyoji?
Still is...... Another reason?
I turned my head and looked at Song Li who was on the side with a peach face, he felt my gaze and turned his head: "What's wrong, Ning Ning?" β
I immediately looked away: "No, nothing. β
He felt strange and didn't say anything.
The middle-aged man's surname is Zhu, let's just call him Lao Zhu.
Lao Zhu's ancestral house looks inconspicuous from the outside, and it can be regarded as a unique cave when you walk in, mainly because of the atmospheric layout, with corridors, open spaces and front halls, all the way to the door of a room.
Lao Zhu turned around, looked at the number of people, and said a few words to Zhou Shiwei.
Song Li frowned and whispered: "I always feel that I won't like the next thing." β
Bai Ming'an choked in an idle tone: "There are too many things you don't like." β
Song Li looked sideways, and the corners of his mouth raised: "Yes, when I think of my childhood, my least favorite thing is you, senior brother, who is cold and cold, has no temperature and no interest, and is a wooden person." β
"That's better than chatter, twitter, endless."
"You-"
"How."
I blinked my eyes, stood in the middle and felt the sudden heating up on the left and right, and I felt the feeling of standing in the wrong place.
Alas, these two brothers, why are they so naΓ―ve.
"Huh." After Zhou Shiwei finished talking to Lao Zhu, she called sideways.
I hurriedly pulled the two of them one by one: "Don't quarrel, Shi Wei called you." β
Song Li snorted softly, and Bai Ming'an's face was calm.
Well, the atmosphere is cold again.
I was helpless, so I could only smile and say, "What's the matter?" β
"The two of them." Zhou Shiwei raised her chin and said to Song Li and Bai Ming'an, "You can't go in." β
As soon as I raised my eyebrows, I heard Song Li and Bai Ming'an say in unison: "Why? β
"I don't agree."
Zhou Shiwei's eyes were cold: "Lao Zhu said, blood exchange requires absolute quiet, including the inner room and the outer room, I am sure to control the quiet and safety of the inner room, which of you two can guarantee it?" β
His gaze swept over the two of them, and their faces were a little ugly.
I can't help but admire in my heart, it's so domineering, if it doesn't happen alone, Bai Ming'an or Song Li may not be able to beat Zhou Shiwei, after all, she is a genius onmyoji who can control the three attributes of wind, water, and fire.
The strength should not be underestimated.
"Can't? Very good. Zhou Shiwei neatly concluded: "Then don't waste time with nonsense." β
Song Li sulked and said, "I'm not at ease when I hand over Ning Ning to you." β
Bai Ming'an didn't speak, but showed the same expression.
I was a little moved, and I also had the same scruples as them in my heart - I don't have a deep friendship with Zhou Shiwei, and besides, she is cold and does not lose Bai Ming'an, I don't know why she wants to help me.
was questioned, Zhou Shiwei was very calm and crisp.
She turned her head to me and looked at me calmly: "Ning Huan, do you believe me or not." β
The summer breeze blew, and the indifferent girl in front of her was as cold as the moon in the autumn night sky, hanging high and icy. It's just that when she looked at me, her eyes were so determined and convincing.
I admit to being shaken.
For what reason does what psychology matter?
A master like her has no past grudges with me, so she won't hurt me.
With that in mind, I quickly gathered my thoughts.
I nodded, "I believe in you." β
I chose to go on a blind date with Zhou Shiwei.
"Good." Zhou Shiwei was very satisfied, and only said these two words, and then nodded at Lao Zhu, and Lao Zhu left.
Zhou Shiwei said to me, "He went to prepare things, you can come in with me." β
I nodded, "Okay." β
"Ning Ningβ"
Song Li on the side called out to me, I looked back and saw the uneasiness and hesitation in his eyes, although Bai Ming'an on the side had a paralyzed face, but there was also a touch of care in the depths of his eyes.
I smiled: "What are you afraid of, I'm fine." I'll leave it to you outside, protect us. β
I reassured, didn't say anything more, turned around and followed Zhou Shiwei to push the door and enter the house.
The layout of the house is simple, and the wood furniture is mainly a little bland, but it is not unpretentious.
Zhou Shiwei sat down, and I stood in front of the door and looked through the paper window. Thankfully, Bai Ming'an and Song Li understood my intentions, and the two of them occupied an angle in the open space in front of the house, one left and one right, looking at the protection.
After waiting for seven or eight minutes, Lao Zhu came into the house.
He was carrying a sack that was supposed to be a tool for blood exchange, and a tray in his hand with tea in it.
"It's hot, herbal tea relieves the heat."
He put down the tray and took the sack to the side to pour things, and Zhou Shiwei went over to look at it and discuss.
I poured a cup for each of them and sent it over, then poured a cup for myself, and took a sip, the warm tea was indeed very thirst-quenching, so I drank it all in one go.
Looking back, Zhou Shiwei also drank half a cup with a cup. (To be continued.) )
