Chapter 140: The Shadow of Your Mansion (6)
"Brother Xian Shicai said that there is a huge hidden danger in this general's mansion?"
"Exactly."
"But it's strange, since you have found out that it is the impermanence of the underworld that is appearing and wandering in this general's mansion, why do you still say that there are hidden dangers in this general's mansion? Isn't that a contradiction? ”
"This little brother has always been unpredictable, that pair of ghosts does have a unique 'breath' of the underworld, it should be the black and white impermanence brothers.
But the question is, why do they come to this house every day? Didn't Ma Laoke say that this Jihei General's Mansion had been empty for several years because it was haunted? ”
Hearing the little fox's mention, Yang Congxun suddenly realized: This Jihei General's Mansion in the capital has been vacant for several years, and even the old housekeeper who is responsible for taking care of the mansion on weekdays does not live here!
This black and white impermanence must be for the purpose of seducing the soul whenever it appears in the world.
Now there is not even a figure in this house, so what is the black and white impermanence for?
On that day, Yang Congxun and Xiao Hu San racked their brains, and they didn't figure out the reason why Black and White Impermanence appeared in General Jihei's Mansion.
It can't be said that there is no clue at all, at least Yang Congxun and Hu San are very sure that this black and white impermanence must not be here to trouble them.
At the end of the discussion, Yang Congxun slapped the table: "No matter what they are here for, anyway, most of them will have to show up tonight, and when the time comes, we will have to follow behind without saying a word to see if it will be clear?" ”
At this end of the day and night, Yang Congxun specially changed into a black clothes and a short lean, and Hu San and Hu San used the black bottom of the pot (the grass and wood ash on the bottom of the pot) to paint Zhou's body finely, and quietly ambushed in the atrium of the general's mansion waiting for the black and white impermanence that appeared last night.
(Folk magic, ghosts can't see the pot black, so you can temporarily be invisible in front of ghosts)
Shortly after the brothers were under the cat at the base of the gable of the garden verandah, the little fox suddenly stabbed Yang Congxun with his paws, and at the same time swiped his long snout towards the end of the verandah.
Receiving the signal of the little fox, Yang Congxun perked up, secretly said 'coming', hurriedly opened his eyes, and looked in the direction pointed out by Hu San, only to see two black and white shadows drilling through the crescent moon window above the corridor wall, and suddenly entered the garden verandah.
Seeing this situation, Yang Congxun and Xiao Hu San smiled at each other, and crept quietly behind the two blurred ghosts.
The long story is simple, but it is said that Yang Congxun and Hu San followed behind the two groups of ghosts that night, and one of them was so energetic that they walked around the general's mansion, and from time to time they also passed through the house and took the ladder upstairs.
In the end, except for the compost pit built at the base of the back wall of the back wall of the reincarnation of grains in the east corner of the back garden, the footprints of the brothers were almost all over the entire Beppu of the Yoshiguro shogun.
"Oh mom, it's dawn. This time I really dug a pit and jumped by myself, even if I say the big day next time, the third master, I won't follow the black and white impermanence and they will slip away!
Okay, look at this night's strolling, the third master and my legs are all thin! ”
However, the little fox still didn't seem to vent the resentment in his stomach after humming and whining a lot.
So he rolled his eyes, his face was so embarrassed that his brows were tightly locked, and at this moment he was using a charcoal pen to sketch back and forth on a piece of yellow paper.
"Brother Yang, why do you say that we have also worked hard all night, do you think we should hurry up and find a place to pay tribute to the Five Organs Temple?
Brother, my stomach has been rumbling for a long time...... Brother Yang, what are you painting? ”
No wonder the little fox had this question, only to see Yang Congxun use charcoal to draw more than a dozen black circles of different sizes on the five-inch square yellow paper.
If it weren't for the solemn look on Yang Congxun's face when he was holding a pen to paint, most of the little fox would have thought that he Yang Congxun was scribbling to relieve boredom.
"But it's a joke, third brother, look, the last trip we followed behind the black and white impermanence, from the left wing through the verandah, straight through the garden to the north, after bypassing the rockery, suddenly turned east.
After passing the east storehouse, turn to the southwest stove house, and after a week of detour, return to the northwest ......"
I saw Yang Congxun holding a charcoal pencil in his hand and clicking several places in turn on the yellow paper full of paintings.
"Especially on the way to the East Treasury, there is a good end of the stone arch bridge not to go, but to go around the lotus pond half a circle, if it is to find someone or something in the general's mansion, why do they have to go to such trouble in black and white?"
"What can I say! Last night, the two of them actually ran into the stinky dry-thatched latrine in the southeast corner.
Even if there is really any treasure hidden in it, I am not rare for the third master...... Brother Yang, what do you think they are looking for in the General's Mansion? ”
"Yes, there are many places where this general's mansion can hide things, why does this black and white impermanence refuse to let go of a long-abandoned latrine...... Yawn"
I saw Yang Congxun suddenly stretch his body, stretched his waist deeply, and at the same time shook the yellow paper in his hand in the wind and complained.
"Look at these big circles, where are you looking for something, you are about to catch up with the night guard...... Wait, isn't it?! ”
As he spoke, Yang Congxun's mind flashed, and he hurriedly raised the yellow paper in his hand to his eyes and studied it carefully.
"I said, why have they been going around in circles in the General's Palace? It's clearly patrolling...... It's weird. ”
Thinking of this, Yang Congxun turned his head to look at Hu San, who was rubbing his stomach with a sad face.
"Third brother, I want to confirm with you that the two ghosts we followed last night are really black and white?"
"Is this it? They look like each other from afar, so it's supposed to be them, right? After all, there is a strong smell of the underworld. ”
The little fox's rambling, unobtrusive answer almost choked Yang Congxun, who was full of solemnity.
A taste of the underworld? Dare to ask what the hell is the taste of the underworld? Smelly or smelly?
Fortunately, the little fox quickly explained to himself.
"Brother, I don't know if the smell of this black and white impermanence is fragrant or smelly, but this ghost who belongs to the underworld does have a different smell from ordinary ghosts."
According to the little fox, that is, the ghosts in the world are yin, and those living creatures that can move and breathe are yang because of their own burning life.
Yin and Yang are mutually reinforcing in everything, so the living creatures in the world will instinctively resent the ghosts of Yin.
However, those ghosts who belong to the underworld, although they are also ghosts of the yin, because the ghosts of the underworld often need to deal with the people who walk in the yang world, they usually wear a kind of jewelry on their bodies at all times to suppress their own 'yin qi', so that the hostility of the living creatures in the yang world towards them is not as great as that of ordinary ghosts.
"Brother Mingjian, an immortal family like my brother and I has a stronger life fire than ordinary humans, so our hostility towards ordinary ghosts will also be stronger.
And the Shicai brothers didn't feel too much hostility from those two ghosts, so even if they weren't the world-famous black and white impermanence, they definitely couldn't get out of the Netherworld. ”
"So that's ......" After listening to the little fox's explanation, Yang Congxun suddenly frowned.
"Third brother, Yang probably knows where the pair of ghosts that appear from time to time in the General's Mansion are sacred!"
