When the feng shui master heard this, he immediately knelt on the ground with a thud, touched his head to the ground, and cried with a whimper. He didn't know what to say anymore, and all the words of gratitude seemed pale at the moment.

The old Taoist priest had never known him all his life, but his care and help were even better than his relatives. Last time, he worked hard for his life's work, and this time he risked his life to help him. He really didn't know how to be grateful to this old man, his life was so bumpy, but in this painful life, there was a good person like the old Taoist priest who brought him incomparable warmth and courage to live.

In order to allow the Feng Shui master's body to be more fully restored, it took another four or five days before they set out. This time, the state of mind of the two is completely different from last time: last time was full of joy and expectation, and in addition, the feng shui master was still a little nervous; This time, however, it is a desperate struggle and contest with the most dangerous enemy, and it is more about hatred and the imminent decision of a big war.

Along the way, the two repeatedly discussed how to deal with the mysterious strange old man. We talk when we sit in a carriage, and we talk when we stay in a hotel. It's like before a big war, a battle plan is made.

The most perplexing point for the feng shui master is why the old man is like a ghost, and almost no one knows him except for the owner of the nunnery and the nuns in the nunnery. Could it be that he is a fox fairy in the mountains? Or is it something that can't be cultivated? Or is it just a lonely ghost, like what is written in "Liao Zhai"? And the old Taoist priest also said that the yin qi on his body is very similar to "corpse qi", does it mean that he may be a ghost?

Although he felt that some doubts were a little ridiculous, he could not think of a better explanation. When he told the old Taoist priest about his speculations, the old man just smiled slightly: "The theory of ghosts and monsters is a bit ridiculous, our feng shui world does emphasize yin and yang qi, and the so-called ghosts are just a kind of aggregation and change of special yin qi, but it is difficult to really become a human form like in the novel, and the actions and behaviors are completely like people, which is impossible."

As for the fox fairy and the like, I think it's even more unlikely, I said that the corpse gas on his body, not that this kind of gas is only available on the corpse, and the living person has no at all, if you smell it carefully, the smell of many old people is different from that of young people. That special smell is the so-called corpse gas.

Speaking of this kind of corpse gas, I still remember one thing when I was a child: I remember sleeping with my grandmother when I was a child, she was in her seventies at that time, because she was born in a famous family, and our family was not bad at that time, so there were many servants to serve, my grandmother had a habit of cleanliness, and almost every night, three or four girls had to serve her in the bath, because she loved me the most, so she never left me every day, and even slept with her when she slept.

But what impressed me the most was the smell of her body, no matter how clean she washed, there would be a special smell on her body, and that smell would come from the flesh and skin. It was very strong for me, and I also found that not only my grandmother had this smell, but also many old maids, in fact, there was a similar smell, and I gradually understood that this is a unique body odor for the elderly, which is the so-called corpse gas.

But the corpse qi on the mysterious old man's body, which is different from the ordinary old man's body, is not a smell at all, but a kind of ancient corpse in a special ancient tomb for hundreds of years, and the kind of yin qi emitted is similar, you must have heard of it, our faction is the best at preserving corpses, therefore, I am very familiar with the yin qi on this ancient corpse, but I never thought that a living person would have this kind of yin qi, and it would exist at the same time as his 'living person's yin qi'. It's weird, but then again, no matter how weird, I'm sure he's neither a ghost nor a demon, but a human. ”

"If it's a human being, as you say, then I'm exactly what I can't figure out - since he is a big living being, he must eat, clothe, shelter, and travel, and if there is all this human activity, how can he not deal with the people around him? As soon as he interacts, how can no one know about him based on his appearance and characteristics? Do you think it's weird? The Feng Shui master was still extremely confused.

And after the old Taoist priest heard his doubts, he just smiled faintly. When the feng shui master saw his expression, he couldn't help but ask excitedly, "Senior, do you know the mystery?" ”。

The old Taoist priest still smiled mysteriously, and then nodded slightly.

The feng shui master's eyes lit up, and he couldn't wait to say, "Then please let the old man make it clear."

The old Taoist priest was still unhurried, and said very calmly: "Actually, this is also very simple, if he appears in a different face when he comes into contact with others, isn't it that others will not recognize him?" ”

The feng shui master suddenly realized this time: "You mean that he has extremely high masqueration, and after a disguise, he can become another person, right?" ”

After his inference was affirmed by the old Taoist, the feng shui master was extremely excited, but he didn't expect that this problem that had been bothering him would be broken by the feng shui master in just a few words.

However, after knowing this, the feng shui master felt a little creepy, since the old man had such a high level of masqueration, it was even more terrifying, which meant that he might have seen and even dealt with the old man, but he couldn't recognize the old man! Thinking of this, his hairy eyes stood on end.

After the old Taoist priest made such a little fuss and discovered the secret of the strange old man, the feng shui master seemed to have a very strict sequelae - he suddenly felt that every strange man he met, especially the old one, might be dressed as a strange old man. This keeps him in a constant state of extreme tension.

After the old Taoist priest saw his abnormality, he smiled and comforted him, telling him not to worry, because no matter how the strange old man disguised, the yin qi characteristics on his body could not be changed, and with this alone, the old Taoist priest could easily recognize him.

After the old Taoist priest said this, the feng shui master felt a little relieved in his heart.

When they arrived in the village near the mountain, they were still living in the village, in the house of the retired official. At this time, because of this series of blows, the girl's parents are on the verge of collapse, especially the girl's mother, who often cries and laughs for a while, and her spirit is already a little abnormal.

Although the marriage time is very short, the feng shui master feels that the girl's parents are already his eternal relatives, and he will want to treat his parents the same as before, and send them to the end of their old age. Fortunately, they still have two sons, and after the loss of their daughter, this has become their greatest spiritual sustenance and courage to live.

People in the vicinity, after hearing about this incident, also praised the feng shui master's practice, and felt that although the daughter of this family was gone, it was a blessing in misfortune to meet such a good uncle.

But no one knows why the two men returned to the village, and the only one who knows the purpose of their trip is probably the retired official.

This old gentleman is in his sixties, and although he is not the oldest or oldest in the village, he has a great prestige in this area because he has been a high-ranking official. And he has a good relationship with the old Taoist, and the two have nothing to talk about, besides, every time the old Taoist comes, he lives in their house, and of course he will not hide such an important matter.

And the marriage between the feng shui master and the girl, this old gentleman also went to the provincial capital to participate, and he was very happy to see that this pair of young people who were a good match could finally become married. Although before this, he didn't have much contact with the girl's family, because after all, there was a lot of difference between the family, not that the old gentleman looked down on the girl's family, but because the two families did not have much intersection in all aspects. However, in the end, they are all villagers in the same village, and they will still greet each other warmly when they meet, but the marriage brokered by the old Taoist priest through Guò has made the two families really familiar.

When he heard that the girl was killed, the old gentleman was still very sad for the girl's family, especially the girl's ups and downs over the years, he also heard about it, and felt that the family's life was really bitter.

When the old Taoist priest and feng shui master told him the real reason for the girl's death, he was shocked, he thought that the girl's death was just a murder caused by an ordinary burglary, but he didn't expect that there would be such a tortuous and mysterious reason in this. Especially when he heard the old man mentioned by the feng shui master, he was even more surprised - not to mention that the feng shui master and the old Taoist priest had never seen such an old man, even as a local, he had never seen it.

The two of them originally wanted to get some clues from the old gentleman, but it seemed that it was in vain. Feng Shui masters thought it was really wonderful: the only one who could recognize the old man was this old Taoist priest who had never seen an old man at all. Because he does not recognize a person by appearance, but by "feeling."

But this sea of people, where to find it, just the villages and towns around this mountain, large and small, there are more than a hundred, to rely on the old Taoist priest to use "feeling" to find the old man, you must be within a certain distance, but how can you guarantee that you can meet the old man just right? It's not a needle in a haystack, but it's pretty much the same.

Feng Shui masters are a little desperate again. He looked at the old Taoist priest helplessly—whenever he felt that there was nothing he could do, he could only hope for this old Taoist priest with extraordinary wisdom. Similarly, this time he also hoped that the old Taoist priest could once again come up with a way to crack it. To his excitement, the old Taoist priest was really confident, smiled and looked at him, and then turned to the old gentleman and said, "Actually, although that strange old man is extremely skilled in disguise, there is always a flaw that he can't make up for. ”
