Chapter 18: An Affectionate Kiss
Qiao Youqing looked around and asked, "I don't know where that master is now?" ”
The ghost lady said: "After he came here, he first went to the high mountain to check it out, and then when he came down, his face was a little unsightly, he went to the ancient town and walked around, and his expression changed greatly after coming back. He said that some people use the mountains and rivers to set up formations, and the line has changed the feng shui pattern of the ancient town, where the water and land are connected, and now the yin and evil dead qi of unknown sources in the vicinity continue to pour in, I am afraid that in less than ten days, all the dragon veins and earth qi in the ancient town will be replaced by the yin and evil qi. ’
I asked him what the consequences would be? He said that if it is not stopped and intervened, all living beings in the ancient town will be destroyed, and I am afraid that there will be no exception......
Qiao Youqing was suddenly shocked, the temperature in the ancient town had indeed dropped a lot, and there was always a gloomy feeling, and he thought it was because of the night. There is also Lingling, it seems to have followed Yan Ling to the ancient town, but is this really just a coincidence?
The ghost lady also showed fear when she spoke, how desperate and crazy people dared to slaughter the entire town, and in this vicious way. She continued: "My children are still in the hands of those people, and those people are already in hiding, and the master said that in a few days they will show up on their own initiative, and he will not be able to stop it on his own, and he will go back and ask for help. ”
"While waiting, I was at a loss, and I happened to see you hurrying into the ancient town, you are a righteous person with chivalrous bones, worthy of trust!"
Qiao Youqing smiled slightly: "Ghost lady Miao praised!" What else does that master have to say? ”
"Confession?" The ghost lady thought for a moment and said, "Oh, there is...... He said that if we don't see him come back within seven days, let us keep these places. As she spoke, she pulled out a piece of paper.
Qiao Youqing took the paper and looked at it, only to see a hastily drawn figure on the paper, which was roughly similar in shape to the distribution of the ancient town. Within the scope of the figure, there are several small circles, Qiao Youqing counted them, there are exactly nine, and the nine circles are in the east, south, west, north, northeast, northwest, southwest, and southeast of the ancient town, and one is slightly centered.
The ghost lady said again: "He also said that the four positive directions must have the corresponding five elements of life for men and women, and drive into the node with the five elements of nail piles; There should be two men and two women on the side, preferably unmarried, prepare a bowl of water, plus a pinch of incense burner ash and a incense stick. ”
Qiao Youqing asked, "What about the one in the center?" ”
The ghost lady said: "It is very important to be in the center, you need to put a table, tribute, incense burner, clear water, and hang a statue of the Heavenly Master. Take the five-sided clay and add cinnabar to knead it into a tower shape and place it in the central node. In addition, the person in the middle may only have a 10% chance of surviving......"
"What about the others?" Qiao Youqing asked.
"The others are half dangerous, and the remaining half are threatened by uncontrollable emergencies."
When Qiao Youqing asked the ghost lady why she didn't live in the town, the ghost lady said that it was not convenient. She had to hide in a corner where no one was looking, so that she could keep an eye out for the sights and movements of the people she was hiding. Qiao Youqing nodded in understanding, the so-called Yellow Sparrow is behind, but there is no peep after the Yellow Sparrow?
This is already the second day of the 'master's departure, that is, there are only five days left for the entire ancient town. Back at the inn, Qiao Youqing rested for a while in a simple kimono.
The rooster crows in the morning, and the sky is not yet bright. Qiao Youqing rushed to the mayor's house early, and called for the door for a long time before someone came out yawning. After explaining for a while, and waiting for a long time, he saw the mayor himself, and Qiao Youqing didn't hesitate, and directly told the mayor about the ins and outs.
Although the mayor of the town was skeptical, it was a matter of the safety and lives of the people in the town, so he had to be cautious, and rushed to Zhao's house with Qiao Youqing at the moment. Because among the several gentlemen in the Zhao Family School, one of them has a little ventilation. The Zhao family had a happy event, and the people began to work early in the morning, and when they saw Zhao Xiang, Qiao Youqing repeated what he had said to the mayor.
Zhao Xiang naturally didn't believe it, and the mayor said: "To be honest, I don't believe it very much, but one thing is true, that is, the war in Tibet." That's why I came with Mr. Qiao Gongzi to ask Mr. Cheng to go to the town with me to have a look, but there was something unusual. ”
Zhao Xiang thought for a while and said, "That's fine, I'll call someone to invite Qianshan." ”
Qiao Youqing hurriedly added: "Be sure to ask Mr. to bring a feng shui instrument!" ”
After waiting for a while, Zhao Xiang came back after explaining the matter of inviting people to his subordinates, and chatted with the mayor of the town, Qiao Youqing excused himself to go out for a walk, and then got up to leave. Zhao Xiang looked at his back and shook his head helplessly. I must know that he probably went to see Zhao Huiyi again, right? Sure enough, after Qiao Youqing went out, he stood alone in the courtyard courtyard, looking at the embroidery building where Zhao Huiyi lived and hung red silk in a daze.
There was a soft sound of the wooden door, and the door on the upper floor of the stilted embroidery room opened, and out came Yuexiu with a wooden basin. When she saw Qiao Youqing in the courtyard downstairs, she was so frightened that she quickly ran back to the room.
A moment later, Zhao Huiyi walked out of the door and stood behind the wooden railing of the stilted building, she looked at Qiao Youqing with teary eyes. Qiao Youqing also looked at her with a complicated expression, as if he had a thousand words, but he didn't know where to start.
After a long time, Qiao Youqing finally spoke: "Congratulations to Miss Huiyi......"
Zhao Huiyi finally couldn't hold back her tears, she choked up and asked, "Is this what you want to say to me?" ”
Qiao Youqing replied: "No! At least, I hope you're happy when you hear that, and I'm ...... too."
Zhao Huiyi asked, "Then are you happy?" ”
Qiao Youqing replied: "I'm very unhappy, because you're unhappy!" ”
"Then why don't you just say something that will make me happy?"
Qiao Youqing said again: "I want to say, but I'm not sure if you want to listen to ......."
Zhao Huiyi was suddenly a little annoyed and said, "If you don't say it, how will you know if I am willing to listen?" If you don't ask, how do you know if I'm willing to listen? ”
Qiao Youqing cramped: "I'm sorry, because I ...... last night"
Before Qiao Youqing finished speaking, Yuexiu, who was passing by, said: "Miss was locked in the room last night, and after Brother Yuan Jie opened the door, she ran like crazy to see you......" After speaking, she ran away.
Qiao Youqing was stunned for a moment, he knew that he had misunderstood, and secretly blamed himself, why didn't he wait a while? He quickly ran up to the attic and grabbed Zhao Huiyi's hand. Seeing her eyes red and swollen, tear-stained and haggard, I couldn't help but feel distressed. He said seriously: "I'm sorry! Hui Yi! ”
Zhao Huiyi didn't speak, turned around and walked into the house. Qiao Youqing also followed, and with a hard pull on his hand, Zhao Huiyi staggered and turned around. Qiao Youqing stretched out his hand and hugged her thin body.
Zhao Huiyi gently pushed Qiao Youqing reflexively, and when she saw that she couldn't get rid of it, she leaned on him and sobbed softly.
After a long time, Qiao Youqing gently lifted her pretty face and gently wiped away the tears on her face with her hands. Zhao Huiyi stared at Qiao Youqing with a pair of beautiful eyes, her eyes were both aggrieved and dazed.
Looking at each other, they could clearly see that in each other's eyes, their own shadows were deeply imprinted. The affection in the air seems to be getting stronger and stronger.
Finally, the two of them got closer and closer, until their warm lips touched each other. Their breath was short, their hearts were beating faster, and they were enjoying each other's true feelings warmly and jerky. They savored the sweetness of this love......
It wasn't until the sound of footsteps on the wooden stairs that they reluctantly parted. Zhao Huiyi's pretty face was red, like a peach blossom in the spring of March, reflected in the two soft waves full of affection.
The slender eyelashes beat, like a breeze blowing willows, and the blue waves can't help but ripple layer by layer.
When Yuexiu saw the crooked appearance of the two, she deliberately raised her voice and coughed, and then the two let go of the hands that hugged each other. Yuexiu twisted the ends of the two tiny braids hanging down her chest, walked in the door and said, "Miss, there are already many guests coming, but you haven't prepared anything, Miss?" ”
"Guest?" The two repeated it in unison, and they remembered Zhao Huiyi's exit from the cabinet today.
"Don't prepare, something big will happen in the ancient town...... Qiao Youqing said.
Yuexiu pursed her mouth and muttered, "What is more important than getting married?" ”
Qiao Youqing weighed the pros and cons and felt the need to tell them everything. Next, he told the cause and effect of the incident, and Zhao Huiyi and Yuexiu were dumbfounded. Yuexiu hurriedly asked, "Is this ...... Are there really ghosts in this world? ”
This is also what Zhao Huiyi wanted to ask, and Qiao Youqing replied: "Yes!" Originally, I received a science education in Xiyi, so I didn't believe it, but since I met that little ghost when I went back to Chongqing last time, I believed it! ”
"And such a thing? Tell me what's going on? Zhao Huiyi asked with concern.
So, Qiao Youqing told the story of his night trip back to Chongqing again. Yuexiu took over the conversation and said, "I know, I know, I've heard the names of those robbers. ”
"You've heard of it all? Listen to whom? Zhao Huiyi and Qiao Youqing's eyes were full of suspicion.
Yuexiu replied shyly, "Yes...... Brother Yuan Jie said, he also said that among the four people, they are black-hearted and black-handed, and they kill people without blinking. The butcher is the most ferocious and cruel, and full of viciousness for no reason. The dumb beast is the most vicious and fierce, and kills without saying a word. The ghost lady is the most unpredictable, but she generally does not kill innocents indiscriminately, and she especially hates men who bully women. ”
Qiao Youqing sighed: "Actually, the ghost lady is also a poor person with a bumpy fate!" Now that the ancient town is in trouble, it's hard to say whether everyone can survive or not, who still has time to care about getting married? ”
Yuexiu said on the side: "I'm afraid, someone won't think like that, even if the whole town is dead, he will take marrying our young lady as the top priority!" ”
"You mean Wang Ning?"
"Yes, he doesn't care about anything but his own business! It's really bad! ”
