Chapter 45: Yin and Yang Dao
After Jiang Xinyi and Zhang Shuo left the villa, they carefully investigated along the garden, and did not let go of the slightest clues, so their speed was limited.
When the two bent over to check, Jiang Xinyi suddenly said, "What was that bottle of powder just now?" ”
Zhang Shuo's attention was on all kinds of flowers and plants, and he replied casually: "Oh, it's a 'manifest gray' made of rooster bones and black dog bones ground into powder and mixed with a little purified gray salt and cinnabar!" ”
Jiang Xinyi was very amused and said with a smile: "You know a lot." ”
"No, do as the master taught."
Jiang Xinyi saw that he was engrossed, and he didn't say a word when he spoke, and the more he was funny, the more he appreciated the kind of concentration and carefulness he was when he did things, and suddenly found that he was a very simple person, cheerful and kind-hearted, affectionate and righteous, full of sense of justice and no ambition, serious and delicate and meticulous in his work, and what is more valuable is that he can go to the soup for the people he cares about, and in today's society, he can be regarded as a good man!
Their acquaintance is just a coincidence, but they have gone through life and death in order to subdue demons and subdue demons, and now they are involved in unnecessary right and wrong with him, these encounters make her cry and laugh, didn't she owe him in her previous life?
But the more I got to know him, the more I cared about him, and I didn't even know why.
Jiang Xinyi has been regarded as the pearl of her parents since she was a child, and the idea of instilling is to become a saint in the next generation of the clan, so she can be said to have no distractions in order to inherit the position of the saint, and she cultivates day and night.
But since I met Zhang Shuo, I don't know what the reason is, my heart is tightly held by the young man in front of me, and his appearance will always appear in my mind, every time I think about it, I will miss it inexplicably, when I see him, I am actually more nervous than him, and sometimes she will think that this ordinary teenager attracts her, because of his simple kindness, or because of his righteous persistence, but there is always no answer.
But now one thing is certain, she cares about him, and he cares about her too, but in his heart, what is he?
Of course, Zhang Shuo didn't know that Jiang Xinyi's cranky thoughts at this time were all because of him, and he still carefully observed every flower and plant, but after going around in a big circle, he still didn't find any problems, and frowned: "Impossible, there should be problems outside?!" ”
turned to Jiang Xinyi, who was stunned, and said, "Xinyi, can you find out what the problem is?" ”
Jiang Xinyi came back to her senses, put away all her thoughts, and nodded, "Let me try it." ”
The ten fingers like spring onions jumped one after another, the lips of the flowers opened slightly, and she silently recited the Fa Decision, only to see a large swarm of bee-like poisonous insects flying densely out of her Gu sac, which suddenly spread out towards the entire garden and introduced into the flowers.
Zhang Shuo's scalp was numb, and he couldn't connect this fairy-like figure with these poisonous insects, Jiang Xinyi closed his eyes and sensed, and his mental power and divine sense covered the entire garden with the place where the poisonous insects flew!
The meeting time is almost up, and I don't know what the situation inside is, Zhang Shuo was in a hurry alone but helpless, suddenly, Jiang Xinyi had a flash of inspiration in her mind, opened her eyes and said, "Found it!" Pointing to the flower bed to the northeast, "There it is!" ”
The two hurriedly rushed to that position, Zhang Shuo saw that there was nothing but some grass and flowers, and couldn't help but be disappointed, but before he could ask Jiang Xinyi, the soil under his feet suddenly turned, and some of the poisonous insects just now poured out of the ground, gathering around and buzzing and screaming restlessly.
Zhang Shuo was curious to see what was in the soil, but was pulled by Jiang Xinyi, "Be careful of poison, I'll come." ”
In Zhang Shuo's exclamation, Jiang Xinyi squatted down and picked up a small piece of soil with her fingertips, put it between her noses and sniffed it for a while, and her eyebrows became tighter and tighter.
Zhang Shuo was frightened, and his nervous heart was about to jump out, for fear that she would have an accident, but fortunately, Jiang Xinyi threw away the clod of soil after smelling it and stood up slowly, her face was as usual.
Zhang Shuo breathed a sigh of relief and complained: "Can I do this kind of thing in the future?" Worry me, don't you? ”
Jiang Xinyi patted the dust on her hands, her heart was sweet when she heard this, and she joked with a smile: "Miss Ben is a body that is "inviolable to all poisons", you don't need to worry, just take care of yourself." ”
Zhang Shuo knew that she was joking with herself, but she didn't feel good in her heart, "I just, I just care about you, I can't care about you." ”
"Then why do you care about me?" Jiang Xinyi's eyes rolled, and a smile on her face was like a flower, "I'll listen to the reason." ”
Seeing her smile blooming like a flower, so vivid and charming, Zhang Shuo couldn't help but look stupid, and many words were stuck in his throat when they came to his mouth, and he swallowed them all back.
Jiang Xinyi saw that he was looking at him a little obsessively, she was ashamed and happy in her heart, but the smile on her face was restrained, "Hey, what do you see, don't hurry up and do the right thing." ”
"Uh-oh." Zhang Shuo replied again and again, "Then this soil....?"
Jiang Xinyi's expression became very strange, and she said word by word: "It's tomb soil!" ”
"Grave soil?"
Jiang Xinyi's expression was serious, and she slowly explained: "That's right, it's a tomb soil with the breath of a dead man, that is, tomb soil, and it's a long time ago, and the breath is very heavy, don't you think it's strange?" How can a living man's dwelling have the grave soil of a dead man to grow flowers and plants? ”
Zhang Shuo muttered, "What you mean is that someone deliberately brought these soils over and buried them in different feng shui locations. ”
"Well, and from the perspective of the innate gossip diagram, the villa is a Taiji Yin and Yang Fish, this location is in the northeast corner, that is, where the earthquake is located, and the other seven should also have the same tomb soil, and there must be a very evil thing in the villa that corresponds to the eight in the courtyard, and the mutual supply forms a yin qi shrouding the yang house, which is definitely a kind of yin and poisonous magic circle, but I don't know what the specific name is."
Zhang Shuo was also shocked and worried, "Do you have a way to find the other seven positions?" ”
Jiang Xinyi smiled: "What do you say? ”
With her words, Zhang Shuo was immediately relieved, "Then you let these insects continue to look for them, and when they are all found, we will mark them out, and then let Secretary Liu send someone to dig up the soil, and we will go first to see how they are looking." ”
"Okay."
Without further ado, the two hurriedly returned to the villa, and as soon as they entered the door, Zhang Shuo shouted loudly, "Shilin, where are you?" Coming to the lobby, we have an important discovery. ”
"Here we go!" Shi Lin's voice came from the third floor, Zhang Shuo and Jiang Xinyi waited in the hall for a while, and Shi Lin and An Peiming had already rushed back.
After the four of them gathered, Zhang Shuo and Jiang Xinyi told them about the previous situation one by one, Shi Lin looked surprised and surprised, An Peiming lowered his head and was silent, thinking about what he was thinking.
"What did you find?" Zhang Shuo hurriedly said, "Have you found that evil thing?" ”
Shi Lin was embarrassed, and said: "This villa is too big, we searched for it one by one, and you came back only to find the third floor, but you haven't found it yet..... I'm sorry. ”
Zhang Shuo was slightly disappointed, but still comforted: "It's okay, then let's find it together, as long as we deal with that evil thing, we can completely break this vicious formation." ”
Jiang Xinyi saw that An Peiming still didn't say a word, and her heart was strange, so she asked, "What is An Pei thinking?" ”
An Peiming trembled again, warmth flashed in his eyes, and he smiled: "It's nothing, I'll tell you a good news, I found the evil thing!" ”
"What? When did you find it? Shi Lin was shocked and looked incredulous.
Jiang Xinyi and Zhang Shuo were also surprised, "Where is it?" ”
An Peiming said again: "I just found it, it's on the fifth floor, you guys come up together!" ”
This sentence is very strange, what does it mean to come up together? Zhang Shuo and the others couldn't figure out what he meant.
An Peiming didn't explain much, haha laughed, suddenly, a golden light broke out from his body, and his figure disappeared into that golden light in a blink of an eye, and in the stunned situation of the three of them, he turned into a palm-sized paper figure and slowly fell to the ground!
Zhang Shuo, Jiang Xinyi, and Shi Lin gasped and exclaimed in unison.
"Shikigami!!"
Shikigami is the spirit body served by the Onmyoji, which can be understood as the meaning of "serving the gods", that is, the gods or spirits that serve their masters, initiated by the "White Fox Prince" Abe Harumi, and inherited by the direct descendants of Abe Harumi, the Tuomon family, and became an important part of the Tugomon Shinto in the later Edo period, and its power is determined by the way of the caster.
Onmyoji calls this kind of low-level spirits and gods that mortals can't see as "Shijin", which is usually shaped by paper-cutting, and can be summoned by using spell control, and even human souls can be used, and there are also living creatures as the basis for Shikkai, but this is mostly Gu things, that is, it is used for curses, but it is easy to be counterattacked if it is not used properly.
And in the "Great Mirror", it is recorded that Qingming used Shikijin as a servant, and often instructed Shikijin to serve tea, water, laundry and cooking! The high-level gods are not beneficial to ordinary people in terms of appearance or behavior, and only those who are skilled in the Essence Channel can see through the mysteries.
But as far as the Shishen just now is concerned, his appearance and behavior are fine, but even the "Yin Yang Dao Technique" can be freely used, just like himself, and he can hide himself and Jiang Xinyi, and he can't see the slightest clue, which makes Zhang Shuo unacceptable no matter what, if it weren't for his Taoism being far superior to himself, how could he not see it, how powerful is this An Companion Name!?
Jiang Xinyi's expression was also complicated and strange at the moment, and her heart was shocked and inexplicable, and she hadn't been there for a long time.
In fact, they don't know that they think highly of An Peiming, although An Peiming is talented and intelligent, and in order to revitalize the family, he has also been cultivated by his parents' rights since he was a child, but after all, his age is limited, and his real skills may not be much higher than Jiang Xinyi and Zhang Shuo.
The reason why this Shikigami was able to use spells just now was because An accompanied Mingzai's real body to watch and manipulate upstairs, and this Shikigami was able to hide from Zhang Shuo and others because An Peiming attached most of his own aura to his body, in other words, it was equivalent to half of his own presence, plus he manipulated and cast spells upstairs at a critical moment, so he could show his full strength! Of course, these are not the things they can know.
Shi Lin was taken aback, but after all, he didn't care as much as the two of them, so he reacted first, and when he saw that the two of them were still stunned, he interrupted: "Hey, don't be young and stupid, hurry up and go up with me." ”
Zhang Shuo and Jiang Xinyi nodded blankly, forcibly calmed the shock in their hearts, took a deep breath and slowly exhaled, and when they looked at it again, they were completely calm.
"Let's go!"
The three of them strode up the stairs, and it took only ten seconds from the first floor to the fifth floor, but fortunately, the physique of the three of them cultivating spells was also different from ordinary people, so after going upstairs, their faces were not red and they were not panting.
There was a figure in the corridor with his back to them, and when he heard the movement, he turned around leisurely, it was An Pei Mingzai in a hunting suit.
The three of them walked up to him, Zhang Shuo's eyes swelled with darkness, and he half-jokingly said, "Is it a real person or a dummy this time!?" ”
An Peiming laughed again, hugged his fists and deeply detained everyone, and apologized: "In order to find out the problem faster, it is really a last resort, please forgive Mr. Zhang, Miss Jiang and Little Sister Shi Lin." ”
Shi Lin grimaced, stuck out his tongue and said, "Then I want to see what the result of your 'love' is!" ”
Jiang Xinyi said indifferently: "An Pei, please lead the way." ”
An Peiming said again, and led the three of them to the corner at the end of the corridor, until they walked to the security door at the innermost corner of the corner, which was the collection room that could not be entered!
Zhang Shuo's eyes opened and examined carefully, but he didn't see the slightest sign of it, and just as he was about to use his mental power to enter, An Peiming smiled again: "Does Mr. Zhang think the problem is in this collection room?" ”
Zhang Shuo was stunned for a moment, frowned, and said, "Isn't it?" ”
An Peiming looked at him again, and said with a smile: "Yes and no." ”
"Handsome guy Ampere, don't sell it, okay? Sick of it. Shi Lin rolled his eyes and said, "What kind of person! ”
Jiang Xinyi waved her hand and said, "Listen to Anpei." ”
An Peiming smiled at Jiang Xinyi again, and then said: "I didn't go down before, but I have been looking for what the fundamental problem is, I have already checked it with my mental power, and there is indeed an evil thing stored here, but..."
An Peiming's smile gradually retracted, and he said in a deep voice: "It's not complete!" ”
The three of them were shocked when they heard this, and Zhang Shuo became more and more strange, "What do you mean!" ”
"In other words, the item is incomplete, and the other half is not here, but..."An Peiming smiled again and said mysteriously to Zhang Shuo: "Mr. Zhang has not already guessed it, the problem is more than that...."
Zhang Shuo chewed the deep meaning of this sentence, suddenly woke up, and said movingly: "You mean....!?" ”
"Clever!" An Peiming clapped his hands again and said, "The most fundamental problem is what you and I think. ”
What the two said was inexplicable, Jiang Xinyi and Shi Lin were confused when they heard it, but these two liked to play deep at critical moments.
Jiang Xinyi was relatively better, at least she heard that the problem was not only here, but she really couldn't think of where it was, so she said helplessly: "Can you two not play dumb riddles and make it clear at once." ”
"Don't worry." An Peiming looked cynical again, and said leisurely while playing with the paper fan: "When the problem here is solved, you will naturally know." ”
Shi Lin really wanted to hold a knife on the neck of this undersized guy and threaten loudly, "Make it clear to the old lady that I am pretending to be X!" ”
Zhang Shuo didn't want to delay time, so he took out his mobile phone from his body and dialed Secretary Liu's phone, only to ring the phone and connect, "Hey, hello Secretary Liu, I'm Zhang Shuo... Yes, now please go to the hospital in person to take the key to Mr. Zhou's collection room, and by the way, ask for the electronic lock code on the door.... Yes, the problem is inside, rest assured, I am responsible for any loss.... Well, bring a few more people when you come over, you need help here! We are waiting for you on the fourth floor. ”
Finally, after telling Secretary Liu about Zhao Tao, Song Feng and others, he turned off the phone, Zhang Shuo said: "You all heard it, Secretary Liu will bring someone over later, let's go and rest first." ”
An Peiming smiled again: "Go to my bedroom." ”
Zhang Shuo nodded and said, "Xinyi, you go and mark the location you just found, and tell them the specific location when they come over, and let them send someone to get it tomorrow morning." ”
"Okay."
.......................
Half an hour later, there was movement at the door downstairs, only to hear the footsteps of about a dozen people, Zhang Shuo and others also vaguely heard Secretary Liu's voice, and after a few minutes, Secretary Liu hurriedly came in from outside the bedroom door, saw everyone drinking tea in a circle, gasped and said: "I brought what I wanted." ”
The four of them got up when they heard this, and Zhang Shuo took the lead and said, "Okay, oh yes, did the two groups of people who were stunned take them away?" ”
"I'll send someone to take it away, first send us to the hotel under the name of Mr. Zhou for placement, and I'll deal with the rest when those people wake up."
Shi Lin smiled: "There is another one on the toilet in the bathroom, don't forget." ”
"Of course, of course." Secretary Liu wiped the sweat on his head, "Then we'll go now..."
Zhang Shuo and the others nodded, and went up to the fifth floor with Secretary Liu and came to the collection room just now.
"I'm sorry guys, I'm sorry for the trouble..."
Zhang Shuo turned around very interestingly, and after Secretary Liu confirmed, he entered the password, took out the key and opened the lock.
"Click".
Secretary Liu slowly pushed the security door open, led the four of them into the collection room together, Shi Lin thought it was like entering the treasure trove full of antiques, but the lamp turned on and was disappointed, the room was only about forty square meters, there were two rows of wooden tables, a total of more than a dozen pieces of porcelain and jade pieces were placed on it, a few calligraphy and paintings hung on the wall, and a square long table, on which there was only one set of tea sets in addition to pen, ink, paper and inkstone.
An Peiming walked to the long table as if admiring, picked up a brush casually and said: "It seems that Mr. Zhou not only likes to collect antique calligraphy and paintings, but also likes to practice calligraphy and painting by himself." ”
Secretary Liu said with a smile: "Yes, Mr. Zhou usually goes to this room to write poems and paintings when he is free, and has participated in several antique auctions, and most of these porcelain ornaments are auctioned from the antique market." ”
After listening to this, Shi Lin ran to look at the porcelain on the table with great interest, but Zhang Shuo did not have the leisure to appreciate it, and began to sense it with telekinesis after entering the door.
Indeed, there is a trace of yin qi wafting in the air, which is almost inaudible, and if it is not perceived by telekinesis, it may not be possible to see it clearly by relying on the Dharma eye, what is it?
