Chapter 29: The Mystery

Bai Xi flipped through the pages and saw the page that had just been stained with blood.

"Oops, there's a word on this page!"

"Hmm." I was noncommittal.

She turned it over and looked at it for a while, then patted her head and said, "I know!" ”

I squinted at her slightly, not knowing what she was going to say.

"The person who wrote this book must not have wanted outsiders to easily see the contents of the record, so he used a special invisible ink to write it. Words only appear when they encounter blood. ”

I pursed my lips and didn't speak.

"Why don't you go to the butcher shop in the vegetable market to buy some pig blood?"

I shook my head and said, "I've tried before, not even my own blood, let alone animal blood." I don't know what's going on this time, but suddenly words appear. ”

"Huh? If you want to read this one, how much blood will you need! Bai Xi frowned.

I said, "Go to the kitchen and get me a little bowl." ”

Bai Xi's eyes widened and he asked, "Do you really want to use your own blood?" ”

I nodded and said, "No matter what the cost, I have to know the contents of the book." ”

She thought for a moment, turned and went out. After a while, he came back with a small bowl in his hand.

I looked down and saw a small half bowl of water in the bowl.

"You are ......" I don't know what she meant.

"Are you stupid enough to think you make blood tofu? Just a few drops. ”

"Diluted, does it work?" I'm skeptical.

"I think so. If the water has blood in it, it should be useful. ”

It makes sense to think about it. I slowly opened the gauze on my hand.

"Tap!" Bai Xi said, "Let's do it with me!" ”

She helped me unwrap the gauze. I squeezed the wound a few times, and the blood dripped into the bowl, and the water immediately turned red.

Bai Xi handed over a small brush, and I dipped it in blood and brushed it on the notebook.

Slowly, all the handwriting on the notebook was revealed. At the same time, my heart was pounding out of my chest.

It's not what I thought, but it's not a line of diaries or anything like that.

On the first page, there are only a few sentences-

Peace, baby son, don't hold a grudge against Mom and Dad. We really have no choice but to abandon you. Mom and Dad hope you have a safe life!

At this moment, I can't put into words how I feel. It's been twenty-four years, and for the first time I've felt the presence of my parents so directly, my eyes are a little wet.

At this time, Bai Xi gently put his hand on my shoulder.

I sighed and flipped the page to the next page.

The second page is strangely written, with only four big words: Don't believe it.

It seems to be an unfinished sentence, with no beginning, no end, and no punctuation.

I frowned slightly.

Don't trust anyone? Or what's the matter?

The last two pages are blank, and when you turn back, there is a page with these words: Peace, if you see the words on this notebook, then it proves that it is time. You have to go to the Fuyun Temple on the outskirts of Luoyang City as soon as possible to find the Qingxu Daoist.

What does that mean? Why should I go to the Taoist temple to find the Taoist chief? What does "it's time" mean? It's unpredictable.

Flip back, and the next few pages are gone.

I flipped through the pages and looked at the contents of the three pages. I thought there would be some information about my background, but it turned out to be more puzzling puzzles.

Just as he was about to close the notebook, Bai Xi took out his mobile phone and said, "Take a picture of each page, and when the water dries up, the words will disappear." It's not easy to look at it again. ”

I nodded, still her attentiveness.

After taking the picture, I closed the notebook and put it back in the drawer.

Bai Xi bandaged me with gauze again.

Looking at this quirky little girl in front of me, I was a little confused - I had known her for less than two months, how could I take it for granted that she shared the biggest secret in my heart?

"Actually...... I never show this book to others.,You're the only one.。 And, you also see what's inside......"

After hearing what I said, she raised her head, glared at me and said, "Why are you still going to kill me?" ”

Suddenly black lines appeared on the corners of my forehead.

Do I want to show that you are very good in my heart? Your EQ is completely off!

I stood up, pushed her shoulders and walked to the door, saying in a threatening tone, "You know too much, remember to lock the door tonight!" ”

She slammed a pink fist into my chest.

Lying on the bed, looking at the hands like bear's paws wrapped in Bai Xi, I couldn't help but laugh dumbly.

But when I think about the strange contents in my parents' notebooks, I feel like I'm in a fog. I decided to wait for the filming of this drama to go to Luoyang in person.

Tossing and turning, I can't sleep for a long time......

A few weeks later, this "Wax Puppet Soul Snatcher" was finally completed. After resting at home for a day, in the evening, I booked a ticket to Luoyang on my mobile phone.

Early the next morning, I was carrying my bag and getting ready to go. Before going out, Bai Xi said, "Be careful outside!" ”

I nodded.

Take the high-speed train and arrive in Luoyang in about four hours.

When I got out of the station, I asked for three taxis, and only then did an old driver know about the floating clouds on the outskirts of the city.

The driver on the road told me that the incense of Fuyunguan has not been able to do well in recent years, and there are very few people who go, so many young people don't know about this place.

The car drove for more than half an hour, and it became more and more remote. At the end of the dirt road ahead was a grove of trees.

"Walk through the woods, young man. That's all I have to do here. The driver said.

I thanked him, paid and got off.

Entering the woods, you can faintly see a path stretching into the distance. However, it may be because it is rarely frequented, and the path has been hidden among the weeds and dead leaves.

After walking for about ten minutes, at the end of the woods stood an antique building with a plaque that read "Floating Cloud View".

This is it. The door was closed, so I walked up and tapped on it.

After a while, the door opened, and a boy of seventeen or eighteen poked his head out.

"Who are you looking for?"

"Oh, I'm here to find the Void Daoist." I hastened to answer.

The boy looked at me and said, "My master is in retreat and can't see guests." ”

"So, when will he get out?"

"There are still twenty days to go."

I'm a little frustrated, it's a bad luck to come. If it's three or five days, simply stay in the hotel and wait. But for more than 20 days, I can't stay in the hotel all the time!

Seeing that I frowned, the boy said again, "Why don't you leave your name and phone number, and I will hand it over to my master when he leaves the customs." ”

I thought about it and nodded. So he took out a pen and paper, wrote a note, and handed it to the boy.

After thanking me, I turned and left.

The next morning, I returned home in vain.

Bai Xi asked me about the situation, and I told her that I hadn't seen the Taoist.

"I'll have to wait a month to go again." I say.
