My heart was full of doubts, and there was a faint fear that was indescribable.

This fear stems from the feeling that Wang Yun gave me, why did the grass become like this? From a cultivator's point of view, there are many reasons.

I couldn't analyze what the problem was for a while, but I heard Shen Jingyun turn around and ask me, "What is your first feeling?" ”

I was startled, and glanced at Shen Jingyun with some resentment, but I still replied honestly: "Cold, from the moment I walked into this alley, close to this clearing, I felt very cold. ”

Shen Jingyun nodded and said, "Your spiritual sense has always been excellent, so I have to ask you to be sure that my general judgment is in the right direction." ”

While speaking, Shen Jingyun squatted down, tossed away the weeds, grabbed a handful of soil under the weeds, and observed it carefully.

I hate Shen Jingyun's habit very much, he only says half of his words vaguely, he doesn't know what it is, I don't want to listen to Shen Jingyun's judgment in everything, I also have to have my own judgment. So, I squatted down, grabbed a handful of dirt under the weeds, and looked closely at it to see what I could find.

The dirt in my hand feels a little weird at first glance, it's not the color of normal clay, but a little grayish, how to say? It's a bit close to the gray of the white beach, but it's not exactly the same, after all, the sand of the silver beach still feels very beautiful, and the soil doesn't have any beauty, and the place that gives people the feeling of whiteness is an indescribable whiteness.

What does this color represent? I frowned, and a thought crossed my mind about what my grandfather had said to me. As a cultivator, one should have greater tolerance and kindness than ordinary people.

Of course, I don't object to a cultivator having a higher bottom line as a person, because I always believe that the stronger the ability, the greater the responsibility. But I was still curious to ask grandpa, why is there such a statement? Grandpa said something that impressed me on this question.

This is because cultivators can feel the vitality of all things, and this vitality means that everything has its own unique life. As a human being, we are a little lucky, we are the spirit of all things, and with wisdom, we must respect all forms of life more and be grateful for our own aura.

Therefore, kindness and forgiveness are the best feedback to heaven and earth.

The point of these words is that my grandfather is teaching me the attitude that I should have as a cultivator, and I suddenly remembered it, and the point is not this, but what my grandfather said that everything has its own unique life form.

This kind of whiteness like the vitality has been swallowed up only reminds me of a key point, that is, this land is gradually losing its vitality.

The thought made me feel a little creepy, and I've faced a lot of deaths, but in the end they were all clean. In this cold environment, the horror of gradually losing one's life makes people feel heartbroken.

If I were here alone, I might not be able to stand this depression and would want to escape, just like there was a moment before, I no longer wanted to investigate everything about Wang Yun, and I wanted to escape from her feeling as a person.

Fortunately, Shen Jingyun was here, which gave me a great sense of security, so at this moment, I looked up at Shen Jingyun, wanting to find a little peace of mind.

And Shen Jingyun, the man, didn't seem to feel anything, still looking at the soil in his hand thoughtfully.

I really don't know what kind of thing can make him feel fear?

I couldn't help but glance at Shen Jingyun and said, "You've been studying for so long, have you found anything?" ”

At this time, Shen Jingyun threw away the soil in his hand, clapped his hands casually, and said, "It's very strange." ”

"yes." I subconsciously said, "How can even the land here gradually lose its vitality?" ”

Shen Jingyun was stunned suddenly, looked at me and said, "Xiaoshuang, what did you say just now?" ”

I thought Shen Jingyun was thinking the same as me, but it wasn't? I could only say, "Vitality, don't you find that everything here has a feeling of being cowardly, lacking vitality, and living a very reluctant life?" Including this land. ”

Shen Jingyun looked at me, smiled in surprise, couldn't help but come over and hugged me fiercely, and said excitedly: "Yes, this is it." Sure enough, you are better than me in terms of talent, at least spiritually. Just now I was thinking strange, and I was still wondering if it was because the yin qi here was too heavy, or because of some other reason, the land had become like this, but you reminded me of a key point. Thinking about such a weird thing is rarely happening. ”

But I didn't have Shen Jingyun's surprise, as if I had discovered something big, my mind was all in the warmth of Shen Jingyun's arms, and even now he didn't let go of me, and was still hugging me tightly.

The familiar smell, the An Ran that makes people want to sink, is still the same as usual, but thinking of Helian Cheng's goodness, his request to me...... I still gently pushed Shen Jingyun.

A hint of loneliness flashed in Shen Jingyun's eyes, but he quickly let go of me.

He pretended that nothing had happened, and said to me, "Xiaoshuang, we can't find any clues in this courtyard. Time is limited, so let's go inside and have a look. ”

As he spoke, Shen Jingyun had already taken the lead in walking towards the door of this house, and I hurriedly followed. In any case, this embarrassment can be regarded as resolved.

Surprisingly, the door of Wang Yun's house is hung with an extremely exquisite lock, which looks a little ancient, not the kind of lock that modern people are used to for security doors.

Could it be that this kind of lock is used to lock the door, and will it be more effective than the security door?

I was muttering in my heart, but I saw Shen Jingyun pick up the lock, looking thoughtful, and behind the lock was a huge iron door, if the lock was not opened, it would be difficult to open the door with brute force.

So what should I do? Call a lockpicking company? That's obviously impossible.

I remembered that the first time I had a relatively close contact with Shen Jingyun was the adventure of the little black house. At that time, he easily opened the lock that locked the rooftop with a wire, could he not have anything to do with this lock?

I just wanted to ask, but Shen Jingyun had already taken out a delicately folded small leather bag from the bag he was carrying, which was the one I saw last time.

Shen Jingyun frowned, began to pick out the tools, picked up the lock from time to time to look at it while picking, and then pondered.

I stood next to me, thinking to myself whether this Shen Jingyun was a cultivator or a thief? How can there be such a professional tool? Looking at the bag he was carrying, I couldn't help but think with bad taste, is this really good? Carrying a BV woven bag with a set of lock-picking tools, should others think that the employees of this lock-picking company are high-minded, or that this thief has taste?

Thinking about it, I thought it was funny myself, but Shen Jingyun didn't know my thoughts, he had already selected a few tools, and began to open the lock seriously with a frown.

I saw that his movements were very fast, after inserting a filament, he listened to the movement of the lock, and then quickly inserted a filament, just like that, his movements became faster and faster, and he kept listening to the movement of the lock, and quickly inserted the filament, and in a blink of an eye, he had inserted more than a dozen filaments in the keyhole.

I thought to myself, it's also that this filament is thin enough, otherwise how could it be inserted so much?

This should be a layman, I originally wanted to make a joke to Shen Jingyun, but I saw that his expression became solemn, and his movements became cautious. After inserting three more filaments, the lock finally made a crisp sound of "pop", and it was finally opened by Shen Jingyun.

I said to Shen Jingyun in surprise: "I didn't expect your talent in being a thief to be so great!" ”

Shen Jingyun glared at me angrily, didn't argue anything, removed the filaments in the lock, and then pushed open the door and walked into the house.

At this time, I realized that Shen Jingyun was already sweating profusely, and there was some tiredness in his eyes, and I was embarrassed to tease him again, so I just asked: "Is it hard to open this lock?" ”

Shen Jingyun said to me: "It won't be easy, this kind of lock has been lost by now, it is the pinnacle of lock making in ancient China." ”

"Of course, it's not the most powerful lock, otherwise with my current ability, it would never be possible to open it. Just like this lock, I also gambled on luck and opened it very reluctantly. Because the master who once taught me to pick locks once vaguely told me the principle of unlocking this kind of lock, but he has never opened a few such locks in his life, so he can't sum up a lot of experience and teach me anything in detail. I can only say that it was really lucky. ”

The master in Shen Jingyun's mouth, is that old Taoist who I once had a relationship? Will he still do these? But listening to Shen Jingyun's tone, it didn't look like him, and he couldn't figure out what messy master Shen Jingyun had before.

The bigger doubts are...... I looked up and asked Shen Jingyun, "You said this kind of lock has been lost?" Then how could Wang Yun have such a lock? ”

Shen Jingyun looked at me funny: "That can only show one problem, this lock is not contemporary, it is an antique." ”

"Huh? Antiques, so is it valuable? ”

"You just got into the money, but this lock is an antique, which is a big clue, which can prove that Wang Yun really has something to do with that place."

"Where?" I hurriedly asked.

Shen Jingyun looked at me seriously and said, "Do you remember that stone carving?" If nothing else, it should be from the same place as this lock. ”

"The stone carvings?" I was so shocked that I couldn't help but blurt it out.

Stone carvings and locks come from the same place? How could this unrelated thing appear in the same place? According to the most basic judgment, that is, they all come from ancient tombs underground.
