Chapter 30: Clues

I looked at Li Zhisheng, who pondered for a while and said, "That's what I'm worried about. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 I hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?!" Why the hell is this happening! He pulled up a chair and sat down, rolled up his sleeves, and seemed to be looking for something. What the hell is going on, you say! I asked anxiously.

Li Zhisheng looked for a while, slowly raised his right hand and said, "This, look at this." "When I looked closely, there was a mark on his bare right wrist that was very similar to the mark on my hand. The difference is that his sigil, though similar in size to mine, is already leafy.

My eyes widened in surprise, "How... How, you will have it too. Did you touch my box? He shook his head, sighed, and said, "No, but this thing must have something to do with entering the underworld, or the spirit wood." Otherwise, this thing would definitely not appear for no reason. ”

At this time, Hu Fang cried, ran to us from the bathroom and said, "What should I do now, I'm not married yet, what if I can't get married." I didn't know what to do when I saw this, so I comforted her and said, "It's okay, it's okay, if you can't get married, I'll let Li Zhisheng marry you." ”

After listening to me, Li Zhisheng grabbed the tablecloth at hand and smashed it at me, "It's all like this, you still have the heart to joke." It's not that you have something to do, so you can coax it, right? I smiled wryly and said, "Isn't it impossible to do it, but to have fun in suffering." Hu Fang also glanced at me and said, "If you don't help us find a way, forget it, and make fun of me, it's too much!" ”

"Alright, stop making a fuss. Let's eat something and go out and figure it out. Saying that, Li Zhisheng picked up the dishes and chopsticks on the table and ate them with a solemn face. While it was still early in the morning, after everyone had eaten, we began to split up and search, and we went to the three largest libraries in the city.

As soon as I arrived at the library, I approached the administrator and asked, "Hello, may I ask if there are any books here about the strange arts of the ancient times?" The administrator looked me up and down and said, "Yes, there is, but these books are too unpopular to find." You go there and sit down for a while, and I'll find it and bring it to you later." After thanking the administrator, I took a random seat to sit down.

Suddenly, I saw a book in the corner of the bookshelf with a dark red name on it. Curious, I stepped forward to pick it up, and the dark red cover actually had the words "Nine Spirits of the Stars" written on it.

Suddenly I was shocked, and hurriedly flipped through a few pages. I thought I could find some useful clues in the book, but it turned out that it was just a humble novel. Disappointed, he put the book back down. At this time, the administrator came up to me with several heavy books and said, "I have all the books you want here, I hope they will be helpful to you." ”

I took the book, thanked her again, sat down, and patiently searched for it. Since most of the text is ancient seal characters, I look like a book from heaven, but some of the pages are interspersed with brief pictures, so I can only barely "look at the pictures and tell the story".

Perhaps, as Li Zhisheng said, my concentration is really not good, and after only half an hour of reading, I seem a little impatient, or maybe because they are all words that I can't understand, I can't understand the meaning at all. Even if you look at the picture, you can only see a half-understanding.

In the end, in a very inconspicuous position in the book, I found a picture exactly the same as the mark in Li Zhisheng's hand, and the annotation on the side, I can only recognize three words, "Soul Leaving Spell?" I couldn't help but read it out loud. Then he called Hu Fang and Li Zhisheng and informed them that they had found clues. But they didn't find anything of value, so they rushed at the same time.

As soon as Li Zhisheng and Hu Fang arrived, I noticed that they seemed to be aging a little more, and the speed at which I was amazed. But they were in a race against time, and instead of continuing to care about aging, they concentrated on the book I found.

"I don't know much about this kind of ancient seal characters, maybe only people who really study antiquities can see what is written in it." Li Zhisheng stared at the book and frowned. Hu Fang was even more confused from the sidelines, and I could feel from her expression that her heart was already like an ant on a hot pot, but she couldn't do it.

When he mentioned the antiquities, I suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly said to him, "Do you remember the curator of the exhibition hall, Dead Apostle?" Maybe we'll get something out of bringing this book to him. Li Zhisheng patted his thigh and said, "Yes, why didn't I expect it." Because he shot too hard, the people around him cast curious glances.

Knowing that he was rude, he lowered his voice a little and said, "In that case, let's go to him while it's still dark." I nodded yes.

After that, we borrowed the ancient book and headed straight to the Dead Apostle's gallery. When he got there, he saw that the door was not closed, so he hurried in, just in time to meet the Dead Apostle coming out of him.

He pestles his cane, and his body is still an elegant black tuxedo, which looks very solemn, but when he sees pedestrians on the street, he stands in it and gives people a sense of place, like an aristocratic gentleman in medieval Europe.

I hurriedly greeted us and explained my intentions, and he led us into the back hall without saying a word. The four of them sat around a round classical wooden table, and the Dead Apostle looked at me and stretched out his hand and said, "Show me the book you are talking about." I nodded slightly, turned the book to the page I had found earlier, handed it to him, and said, "This is it, it is all written by ancient seal characters, so ......," and I pointed out the picture to him.

The Dead Apostle took the book, waved his hand, motioned for me not to speak, and then he read it attentively. The three of us sat on the sidelines, staring at each other, and none of us dared to say anything, for fear of affecting the Dead Apostles.

After a while, he stood up and picked up a few more books from the surrounding bookshelves, comparing them with the books I had brought. After about half an hour, the Dead Apostle closed the book and said to us, "This thing is called the Soul Separation Curse, which was used by ancient monks and Taoists to deal with evil spirits, but it has been lost for a long time. But once this thing is carved into the body of a living person, it will begin to erode the living person, causing them to grow old and eventually die. But ......."

"But what?" I hurriedly asked. "But according to the book you gave me, it is almost impossible to engrave this thing for a living person, how did you get it?" Hearing the Dead Apostle say this, I seemed to remember something, but I couldn't say it directly, "When I was in the underworld before, when I first discovered the spirit guidance wood, I saw some patterns on it. And when Li Zhisheng said that the spirit wood was introduced, he didn't say that there would be patterns on it......"

"In other words, that pattern should be the Soul Separation Spell, which was originally used for me, but under various coincidences, the Soul Separation Charm was engraved on the two of them, and I was fine." Thinking about this, it makes sense. But it was not easy to tell the Dead Apostle directly, mainly because he was afraid that he would not believe it, so he simply made up a story to tell him.

"That's right, the two of them don't know where they offended a high-ranking person. The master used a strange method to cast this curse on them. I don't know if there is a solution in this book. "When I finished speaking, I felt that I didn't believe this lie.

But the Dead Apostle seemed to believe it, and he frowned and said, "I see, it seems that this world is really sinister in the human heart. However, there is no solution mentioned in this book, only that this kind of spell is used to deal with evil spirits and ghosts, and even if there is no solution, it will not hinder. ”

I thought I could find a solution, but now it's good. I know the source, I know the effect, but I don't know the solution, isn't this the same as not saying it. Hearing him say this, all three of us looked frustrated at the same time.

Just as we thanked the Dead Apostles and prepared to leave. The Dead Apostle suddenly stopped us behind him and said, "Shen Xu, wait, I suddenly remembered that someone asked me to hand you something. As he spoke, he took out a brown envelope from the antechamber, handed it to me, and said, "This is it, someone seems to know that you are coming to me, and left me a note asking me to pass this letter to you." ”

Curious, I took the envelope and saw that it was the red fire paint engraved with the seal of the dragon. I grabbed the Dead Apostle's arm and asked eagerly, "Who gave it to you, and what did he tell you?" ”

The Dead Apostles were shocked to see me so excited. He took my hand away and said, "Don't get excited, don't get excited." This letter was found by me at noon on the display stand of the Nine Star Chart. I don't know who put it, but it was found with this letter, as well as this note. ”

As he spoke, Situ handed me a white note, the words on it were not neatly written by humans, they were almost like printed, but it could be seen that it was indeed handwritten. It was written in a black pen: The stakes are very high, please be sure to give this letter to Shen Xu, he will come to pick it up later, thank you very much.

Seeing this, I suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly asked the Dead Apostle, "You should have a monitor here, if you look at the monitor, don't you know who it is?!" Unexpectedly, the Dead Apostle readily agreed, "Okay, then you can come with me." With that, the three of them followed the Dead Apostles to the monitoring room of the exhibition hall.

"Because I didn't find the envelope in the morning, it must have appeared after two o'clock." As he spoke, he called up the surveillance footage of the afternoon, and then pressed fast forward. Two, two, half, three......

In the first two hours, nothing unusual was found, but at four o'clock, all four monitors in the antechamber turned into snowflake spots at the same time, as if they had been subjected to electromagnetic interference, and after a minute, they all returned to normal. Then I saw an envelope appear on one of the display stands.

Seeing this, the Dead Apostle shook his head and said, "It doesn't seem like it works, there is no way to recover from this level of interference. At this moment, even the only clue that had just been discovered was broken, and in the end, I could only hope for this letter.

After thanking the dead and going to the library to return the books they had received, the three of them had no choice but to go home. When I got home, I hurriedly opened the envelope, which was still white paper and red card. But this time, only one sentence similar to a poem was written on it: If you want to break the soul, you can only lock your heart. The grand scene seals the door, and Danwei looks for people.
