Chapter 10: Shadows
Murong Cheng said: "This is not difficult, after some time, after the son's illness is fully recovered, he will naturally tell the murderer, and it is not too late to take revenge." ”
"Then please Mr. Murong! If I find that murderer, I must crush him to ashes! Xu Tianbiao said fiercely.
When I heard this, I also had a palpitation, if this Xu Hao is really good, the situation of me and Xiaoya is absolutely precarious, Xu Tianbiao is a person, and he will be revenged, when the time comes, it seems that there will be a vicious fight between me and this Xu Tianbiao!
Fight and fight, who is afraid of whom, this Xu Hao has today, he asked for it, and I have a clear conscience.
Xu Tianbiao said again: "Mr. Murong, then what are we going to do next?" ”
Murong Cheng said: "Ling Gongzi's soul is not all in place, I want to set up a formation here, summon his soul, and capture the wandering soul, his wandering soul should be locked by some ghosts, I will open the altar now, use secret techniques, and attract the ghost who locks Xu Hao's wandering soul, and then snatch the soul from the ghost!" ”
I was secretly frightened, it seems that this Murong Cheng's ability is not small, and he can actually snatch souls from the hands of ghosts.
Then he said to Jing Yifan: "Yifan, you sprinkle those thorns nearby!" ”
I wondered, "Thorns? "What is a thorn? I've never heard of it, what the hell is it for?
I saw this Jing Yifan, from a small cloth bag he was carrying, he took out a lot of angular things, these things should have been cut from wood, about the size of walnuts, and then began to slowly scatter around Xu Hao's burial place according to a certain law.
I hid behind a tree and watched these people move.
Wait until they're done.
I wanted to secretly pick up a "thorn" from nearby and take it back to show Master, but accidentally, I stepped on a dead branch and made a "creak" sound!
"Who!" Murong Cheng shouted.
"Master, I'll take a look." Jing Yifan said.
I hid behind a big tree not far away in a cold sweat, Jing Yifan walked over, and when he saw that it was me, he was a little surprised, his brows furrowed, but he immediately replied to Murong Cheng: "Master, it's a bobcat." ”
Then, he went back again.
I can't figure it out, why did Jing Yifan help me?
If I had just said that I was hiding here, I guess Xu Tianbiao would have cleaned me up.
I and Jing Yifan have only had a one-sided relationship, why does he want to help me?
At this moment, I suddenly felt that there was a person standing behind a tree not far away, and I was startled.
This person walked over slowly, and it was Murong Jiaxue!
At this time, I understood why this Jing Yifan wanted to help me just now, in fact, he shouldn't have helped me, but saw Murong Jiaxue, Murong Jiaxue made a look or something, this Jing Yifan didn't say anything.
She crept over to me, sat side by side, and whispered, "Are you peeking at my father's actions?" ”
"yes, I'm curious and want to see it." Of course, I can't say that Master asked me to monitor the progress of this Xu Hao's illness.
"Jiaxue, why are you here?"
"I couldn't sleep in the middle of the night, so I came to my father, and I didn't expect to see you, if I hadn't come just in time, you would have been discovered."
I smiled, "Jiaxue, thank you so much." ”
She leaned against the tree, looked at the bright moon with her pretty face in her hands, and suddenly said: "Do you remember when you were in high school, on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15, we went to Fengling Mountain on the mountain behind the school to admire the moon on a boulder, and you gave me a heart-shaped gold pendant. ”
I nodded, "Yes." ”
She picked up the pendant from her neck, and suddenly said, "Qin Ming, you deceived me so hard!" ”
I wondered, "What do you mean by that?" ”
"This pendant is obviously copper! But you told me it was golden! The big liar one! ”
A black line appeared on my forehead, and I said embarrassedly: "Jiaxue, at that time, they were all poor students, how could they have the money to buy gold, hehe." ”
"Then why do you say it's golden?"
"Isn't that good-looking, I can't say copper."
"Forget it, I don't want to pursue the material of this pendant, whether it's gold or copper, I like it if it's your mind."
At this time, she saw that I was holding a "thorn" in my hand, and asked, "Why are you picking up this thing from my father?" ”
"Oh, I think this thing has a strange shape, I'm curious, I don't know what it's for."
Murong Jiaxue said: "I've heard my father talk about this thorn. ”
Then she explained: "This thing is called a thorn, also known as a bad nail.
It is made of lightning-struck jujube wood or sandalwood after carving, what is the specific function?
That is, this thing is placed in the ground, and some means are applied, and then it can stop the life-seeking yin of the passing road, and delay the action of the yin.
The reason why it is called a thorn is because, in ancient times, if a person in the yang world had a grievance, in the yang yamen, if he could not avenge his grievances, and wanted to go to the underworld to complain, he could invite some masters who knew how to do things, and this master would use the secret method to put thorns on the ground, and then when the thorns intercepted the thorns, he burned the written complaint by the way, so that the yin cha got the complaint and went to the king of Yama to avenge the grievances.
But according to my father, now, the effect of this thorn complaint has been greatly reduced, because he has tried, and for some unknown reason, there is almost no way to meet the appearance of a person in the yang world. This is all a secret technique, and my father said that it may be that the way of burning the shape is wrong, anyway, I went to the underworld to complain, and now this thorn is not very good.
But with this thorn, a short period of interception should still be effective. ”
After listening to Murong Jiaxue's explanation, I realized that it was probably this Murong Cheng who wanted to use some means to lure the Yin Difference that locked Xu Hao's soul here, and then use these thorns to intercept and slow down the Yin Difference's actions, so as to snatch Xu Hao's wandering soul from the Yin Cha's hands.
The two of us chatted for a while, and Murong Jiaxue said that she was sleepy, and then she leaned on my shoulder and fell asleep.
The night was cold, I took off my coat, gently covered her, and then continued to observe the movements of Murong Cheng and the others.
I saw this Murong City, a delicate copper incense burner was placed in Xu Hao's burial place, burning incense and praying, chanting words in his mouth, and then pasted a yellow talisman paper, with some patterns painted on it, this is a talisman, I have also seen it in the master, the talisman has a variety of functions, and now Murong Cheng's one may be used to guide the yin.
After everything was arranged, Murong Cheng ordered everyone to stay away from the incense burner, saying that it was best not to have too much yang energy.
Subsequently, the group of them all stayed away from the incense burner and dispersed, and that Jing Yifan, probably intentionally, actually retreated to my side, when he saw Murong Jiaxue sleeping on my shoulder, his expression was calm, and he snorted, as if he was very unhappy, but he didn't make a sound.
I didn't say anything, and I don't know what to say in this case. But I can feel that this Jing Yifan should also have a good impression of Murong Jiaxue.
Jing Yifan stared intently at the incense burner.
I also turned my head and quietly observed the situation near the incense burner.
The night was surprisingly quiet, and no one even came out of the atmosphere.
It was Murong Jiaxue, who was asleep, who suddenly said in a daze dream, "Pan Lang, you said to take me to see the dragon boat." ”
This Jing Yifan hurriedly gave me a look, asking me not to let Murong Jiaxue talk in her dreams, otherwise it would be bad if she was discovered!
But who can control the words spoken in this dream?
Seeing that this Murong Jiaxue is about to talk in her dreams again!
I couldn't help it, I put my finger in Murong Jiaxue's little mouth in a hurry, who knows, she actually bit her teeth hard, and the pain made me sweat all over my body! I almost screamed.
But the dream talk finally stopped.
At about two o'clock in the middle of the night, the smoke from the incense burner suddenly drifted in one direction!
And it gradually formed a white misty humanoid!
Or to be more precise, it is not the smoke that forms the human form, but the smoke that covers the humanoid object, and it is the smoke that makes the humanoid object manifest its original form.
When I looked at this scene, I was also amazed, could it be that the human form covered by the smoke was a shadow?
