Hu Qianqiu nodded and bowed to Heng Hao, "Please also ask the Taoist to try." ”

Heng Hao touched his beard and said, "The poor Dao cultivation is not deep, and it may not be able to be deduced, so you can only do your best." ”

"The Taoist can do his best."

Heng Hao nodded, and then lit a charcoal fire in the yard, and didn't know where to get a turtle shell, and after chanting a spell that Hu Qianqiu didn't understand, he threw the turtle shell into the charcoal fire to roast.

Hu Qianqiu watched from the side, a little surprised in his heart, in his opinion, a character like Heng Hao should be calculated according to the I-Ching when deducing, using yarrow to start the hexagram, but Heng Hao's methods turned out to be almost the same, except for not drawing a few horizontal and vertical lines on the turtle shell and reciting an inexplicable mantra, everything else is completely consistent.

The turtle shell was sizzling in the charcoal fire, Heng Hao looked at Hu Qianqiu's expression, and more or less understood what he was thinking, and said with a smile: "The way of heaven is hidden everywhere in the world, and the method of derivation does not care about Hua, but in Jane. Although this method is simple, it is effective, and it is said that the ancient sages can see the general trend of the world from a leaf, and they are even more clever than our method. ”

Hu Qianqiu nodded, "Taught." ”

Heng Hao picked up the cracked turtle shell with iron tongs, put it on the ground, and looked down at the turtle shell on the ground, silent.

Hu Qianqiu asked on the side: "What does the hexagram say?" ”

"See for yourself."

Although Hu Qianqiu didn't understand Heng Hao's intentions, he still looked down at the turtle shell on the ground.

The tortoise shell is not an irregular crack, and the shape of the crack on it is somewhat peculiar, like that of a plant.

Hu Qianqiu squinted his eyes and looked at it carefully, feeling that the cracks on the turtle shell were like a lotus tree.

"What is this?"

Heng Hao sighed and said, "Your friend's affairs are too deep and wide, and I have never seen such a strange pattern before, so I really can't solve it." ”

Hu Qianqiu nodded, even if he knew that the pattern of burning flowers like this was extremely rare, it was no wonder that Heng Hao couldn't solve it.

Heng Hao continued: "But after all, this tree is part of the calculation, you might as well write it down, maybe it can be used as a clue in the future." ”

Hu Qianqiu felt that what Heng Hao said also made some sense, nodded, picked up the camera and took a few photos of the turtle shell, although he was not sure whether this tree could be used as a useful clue, but being prepared has always been Hu Qianqiu's creed.

Heng Hao and Hu Qianqiu had a little bit of a stretch in the courtyard, the time was close to noon, but Xuan Qingzi had not come back yet, Hu Qianqiu and Heng Hao first had a meal and a few breads in the Taoist temple, and then went back to the side hall to read the book for a while, and when the sun was setting in the west and the sunlight was not so strong, he went to the cliff behind the Taoist temple for rock climbing training.

And when it was almost evening, Hu Qianqiu said hello to Heng Hao and went down the mountain, he didn't like to take a detour, so he could only return from the same way when it was not dark.

In the next few days, Hu Qianqiu went to Lingxuguan early in the morning, read in the side hall in the morning, and went to the cliff to climb in the afternoon, although it was mostly due to psychological effects, but in just a few days, Hu Qianqiu did feel that his physical strength had increased a lot.

And in the past few days, Hu Qianqiu has only seen Xuan Qingzi a few times, he often leaves the Taoist temple early in the morning, and when Hu Qianqiu leaves the Taoist temple in the evening, he does not come back, and Hu Qianqiu does not know what he is doing. Hu Qianqiu asked Henghao curiously once, and the other party only said that Xuan Qingzi was going to do something, but he didn't want to mention it specifically, Hu Qianqiu was also afraid of startling the snake, so he stopped asking after asking once.

In addition, Hu Qianqiu has not seen the person pretending to be Yu Xuefei since that night, but Hu Qianqiu always faintly feels that this person is still around him, and as long as the time comes, the two sides will officially meet.

In the past few days, the glutinous rice wrapped in Hu Qianqiu's right forearm has been changed more than a dozen times, and the soul poison on it has basically been cleaned up, although there are still some left, but it has basically no effect on Hu Qianqiu, and the evil things in his body have also reached a relatively balanced state with the ghost eye, so after a few days, Hu Qianqiu has not encountered any strange things.

A few days later, Song Xiao's grandfather had also been buried, and he also came back from other places.

This morning, Hu Qianqiu saw Song Xiao at the school gate, and after not seeing him for a few days, Song Xiao was much haggard, and he didn't have the happy appearance he had before.

Looking at Song Xiao's appearance, Hu Qianqiu felt uncomfortable, he patted Song Xiao's shoulder, and walked towards Ling Xuguan while holding his shoulder, and said: "Observe its beginning, there is no life, it is not in vain and it is invisible, and it is not invisible." Mixed between the mang, change and gas, gas change and form, change and life, now and change and die, is the phase and for the spring, autumn, winter and summer four seasons also. ”

Hu Qianqiu was only halfway through speaking, and Song Xiao interrupted, "Stop, stop, what are you talking about." ”

This is an allusion to the song in "Zhuangzi", which says that when Zhuangzi's wife died, not only did he not cry, but he also sang while beating the tiles. Zhuangzi believed that human life and death are just a natural phenomenon, just like the alternation of the four seasons. And death does not mean disappearing, just existing in another form. Hu Qianqiu has read a lot of Taoist classics recently, and "Zhuangzi" is naturally among them, so he wanted to comfort Song Xiao a few words, so he said the original text first without thinking.

"Then you just say no, why are you talking about all that nonsense, I don't understand."

“……”

Song Xiao patted Hu Qianqiu on the shoulder, and said earnestly: "Brother, I know a lot of people, and it's really the first time I've seen someone like you." Don't worry, I can see it. ”

"That's good."

Song Xiao left school for a few days, Hu Qianqiu knew that he was busy, and only contacted him on the first day he returned to his hometown, and now the two of them rushed to Lingxuguan, Hu Qianqiu simply told Song Xiao what had happened recently, and at the same time reminded him that he should be careful when he saw Xuan Qingzi in the future.

"Tsk, I can't imagine that that beautiful girl is a Japanese girl, not my race, her heart must be different, Hu Shao, you must not be confused by beauty, and she is easily enough to take her soul."

"You think too much, I've met her a few times, and I'm not even a friend, how can I be hooked away? It's you, you've always been obsessed with her, if you see her next time, don't drool over people."

"Ahh I don't like Japanese girls. ”

Hu Qianqiu smiled and didn't continue to say anything about this matter, after all, although he had a good impression of Yuan Liuli, he still had a little bit of a problem in his heart for the whole of Japan.

Song Xiao continued: "But for Xuan Qingzi, Hu Shao, are you too suspicious, people are kind enough to help us, let's be suspicious of him like this, it's a little unreasonable." ”

Hu Qianqiu had long expected Song Xiao to say this, and replied expressionlessly: "I know that there are people in the world who sincerely help others without asking for anything in return, but with our luck, I don't think we can meet them." ”

Hu Qianqiu paused for a while after speaking, and saw that Song Xiao was noncommittal before he continued: "Although maybe I really think too much, but so many things have happened recently, it's better to be cautious, and don't behave too deliberately when you get along with him, just do it as usual, so as not to be suspected by him." ”

Song Xiao sighed and said, "Alas, who called us brothers, I can only trust you." ”

"Thank you so much."

Song Xiao thought for a while, and then asked, "You haven't looked at the stone slab embedded in the ground since?" ”

Hu Qianqiu shook his head, "That slate is too evil, I don't dare to act easily, if that slate is really related to Xuanqingzi and them, I will inevitably startle the snake if I do this, for the sake of safety, I still wait for our cultivation to tell a paragraph first." ”

"You, you, it's good that we're friends, otherwise you're so heavy that you have to be played to death."

Hu Qianqiu smiled, "Getting back to business, how much do you know about Yu Xuefei's family?" ”

Since Hu Qianqiu read Yu Xuefei's suicide note last time, he has always been very curious about Yu Xuefei's family situation, and today he finally had the opportunity to ask Song Xiao.

Song Xiao said with a smile: "You can be regarded as asking the right person, I didn't ask my uncle a lot when I was in my hometown, fortunately, the case has been closed, and there is no need to keep these things secret, otherwise I don't know how to beg my uncle." ”

"Don't talk nonsense."

"Yu Xuefei's parents died in a car accident a few years ago."

Hu Qianqiu was stunned on the spot.

Although he had already made similar speculations, Hu Qianqiu was still surprised to get confirmation from Song Xiao's mouth at this moment.

"No wonder ......"

"A few years ago, their family went out to play by car, but they didn't expect to collide with a big truck on the road, and Yu Xuefei's parents died on the spot."

Hu Qianqiu nodded, somewhat understanding why Yu Xuefei had been dressed so plainly.

Song Xiao continued: "And Yu Xuefei in the back row survived, and although her sister, who was also sitting in the back row, also survived, she fell into a coma and became a vegetative person. ”

"Yu Xuefei's sister?"

Song Xiao nodded, "I also heard from my uncle that Yu Xuefei has a twin sister named Yu Liuyi. ”

"Boom!" Song Xiao's words were like a thunderbolt from the sky, and a spark exploded in Hu Qianqiu's mind, and many things that he had previously doubted became clear in an instant.

"So that'......s the case, I should have thought of it a long time ago," Hu Qianqiu muttered to himself, "In the past, I used to be, the willows are still in the past, and now I think about it, the rain and snow are falling...... I hadn't thought of that before......"

Hu Qianqiu took out his mobile phone to open the album, and clicked on the first one, which was the photo of the turtle shell cracked like a tree and a lotus.

Hu Qianqiu somewhat understood why such a lotus appeared on the turtle shell, and at the same time, he also had a further speculation in his heart about the truth of Yu Xuefei's suicide by jumping off the building.
