9. Bright red footprints
Who knows, the latch didn't last all night. On the second day, Jia Gongzi went to visit them again with a black face.
The Xuanmen family has a lot of foreign products in various places, and after the three of them came, they rested in the elegant small building called Xiaozhuxuan under the Gusu Lan family.
Jia Gongzi went very early, and not long after he bumped into the Lan family, Lan Sichai invited Jia Gongzi into the house. However, Jiang Yiyao is not from the Lan family, so he can't get up as early as them, and among the people who have experienced this time, except for Lan Sichai and Lan Jiuge, he has the highest cultivation. Even if you don't have this, you can't leave others behind your experience.
Lan Jiu Ge said, "Let him wait for a while." It's not a bad moment. β
Lan Sichai was very embarrassed, and in the end, he still stubbornly committed the family rule of "not talking", and lied to Jia Gongzi that someone was still resting because he was ill. Otherwise, you can't say the truth like "Jiang Gongzi wants to sleep, Jiu Ge will let you wait by yourself......
Finally, Jiang Yiyao barely managed to get up, just hurriedly washed up, and Jia Gongzi dragged people away.
The door of Jia's mansion was closed, and Jia Gongzi went up and buckled the door knocker to avoid greetings, and said: "After being instructed by a few immortals yesterday, I relaxed a little, but I still had no intention of sleeping, and I read behind closed doors in the lobby, keeping watch inside and paying attention to the movements outside. β
Soon, a servant opened the door and welcomed the trio into the courtyard. As soon as a few people stepped down the stairs, they were slightly stunned. I saw large bright red footprints scattered in the courtyard, which was shocking.
Jia Gongzi said gloomily: "Last night, that thing came again. It was scratching and banging outside the gate, arguing for nearly half an hour. I was getting upset by it, when I heard a click, and the latch was broken. β
The moment he heard the sound of the door latch breaking, the hairs on Jia Gongzi's back stood upside down. He grabbed the door and peeked through the crack in the wooden door of the lobby.
The moonlight was dim, and I saw the gate open from a distance, and there was a figure standing in front of the gate of Jiafu, like a wooden stake with a spring on the soles of his feet, and he was playing at the door. It's been playing for a long time, and it hasn't bounced in yet. Jia Gongzi breathed a sigh of relief, and his heart said that this thing was really as Lan Jiu Ge said in the daytime, his muscles and veins were blocked, his body was stiff, his legs couldn't bend, and he couldn't jump on the high threshold of his own door.
However, before he could breathe this breath, he saw the figure that was jumping up and down the doorway, and leaped into the skyβand at once it jumped into the gate!
Jia Gongzi turned around sharply, his back against the door. The evil creature went over the gate and into the courtyard, and jumped straight forward. Plop, p Jia Gongzi felt the wooden door behind him shrug, and was shocked to realize that the thing was only separated from him by one door, so he hurriedly ran away.
Jia Gongzi said: "The shadow of the evil thing was shot by the moonlight, and it was reflected on the paper window. It couldn't get in, and it circled the hall back and forth, left and right. The footprints in this yard are all left by it! This son, it's not that I don't believe your words, but you clearly said that this thing can't jump in. β
Lan Jiu Ge stepped on the threshold and said, "Qin Gongzi, generally speaking, a rigid corpse is indeed unable to jump in. The dead are not alive and bloody, and naturally they cannot bend their feet and knees. You can take this and ask the Xianmen family stationed in the town anywhere, and the other party will tell you so. β
Jia Gongzi opened his hands, as if to show him the bright red footprints all over the courtyard, and said, "Then how should this be explained?" β
Lan Jiu Ge said: "It can only be explained that this thing that entered the door of your house is not ordinary." Jia Gongzi, you might as well think about it, when you peeked at the murderous corpse last night, did you find anything wrong? β
Jia Gongzi thought for a while with an ugly face before he said, "Speaking of which, that thing's posture when it jumped up was a little weird. β
Lan Jiu Ge asked, "What's the weird method?" β
Jia Gongzi said: "It seems to be ......"
On the side, Jiang Yiyao had already walked around the courtyard, returned to Lan Jiuge's side, and said, "Limp." β
Jia Gongzi immediately said: "Not bad! Then he wondered: "How did this son know?" β
Lan Sichai was also thinking about this question in his heart, Jiang Yiyao said: "Look at the footprints on the ground." β
Lan Jiu Ge leaned down, and Lan Sichai also squatted down together, carefully checking those footprints. Lan Jiu Ge looked up after a few glances and said to Jiang Yiyao, "One-legged corpse? β
Jiang Yiyao nodded. Lan Jiu Ge stood up and said, "No wonder I was able to jump over." The footprints were all one deep and one shallow, and the walking corpse had a broken leg. β
He thought for a moment and said, "Do you think it was broken before death or after death?" β
Jiang Yiyao said: "It should be before death." β
Lan Jiu Ge said, "Hmm. After death, it will not affect anything broken on the body. β
They communicated without any obstacles, but Lan Sichai couldn't keep up, so he had to stop, and hurriedly said: "Wait, Jiuge, Jiang Gongzi, let me sort it out, you are talking about this murderous corpse, it has a broken leg, limp and lame, and because of this, it is better than a two-legged ...... Uh, able-bodied murderous corpses, is it easier to jump over this high threshold? β
Jia Gongzi was obviously thinking about this question as well, and said, "I heard me right, right? β
Jiang Yiyao said: "I heard you right. β
Jia Gongzi looked ridiculous: "Aren't you saying that a person with one leg runs faster than a two-legged person?" β
The two of them were discussing intently, and Lan Jiu Ge took a moment to smile at him and said, "You want to go wrong." But if I say that, maybe you get the idea. Some people are blind in one eye, so they redouble their love for the only one left, so that although they are blind in one eye, their eyesight is not necessarily worse than that of a person with two eyes, and it may even be better. In the same way, if a person loses his left hand and can only use his right hand, then in the long run, his right hand may become so powerful that one hand can withstand twice the strength of an ordinary person......"
Lan Sichai really understood: "And this murderous corpse, because it broke a leg before it died, and jumped on one leg all the year round after death, so its bounce power is stronger than that of a two-legged walking corpse?" β
Lan Jiu Ge said: "That's right. β
Jia Gongzi said irritably: "Blame me for having a quarrel with my inside-in-law yesterday, and it took too late to deal with family affairs, so I didn't have time to rebuild the gate." I'm going to reinforce it now, and I have to make this door solid into an iron bucket! β
However, Jiang Yiyao shook her head and said, "It's useless." 'No precedent'. β
Jia Gongzi was shocked, feeling that it was not a good word, and said: "What does this 'precedent cannot be opened' mean?" β
Lan Jiu Ge said: "What he said was our jargon. It refers to the evil spirits, some defensive means can only be used once, and the second time will not work. If you had rebuilt it yesterday, it would have been able to hold on for a while, but as long as you let it through the gate once, it would be unimpeded in the future. β
Jia Gongzi was shocked and regretful: "That! What should I do? β
Jiang Yiyao said: "Don't panic. You can enter the gate, but you can't step through the second door. Your mansion is like a city, and now only the first gate has been breached, and there are two more to follow. β
"Two more? Which two? β
Lan Jiu Ge said: "The door of gathering guests, the door of privacy." β
While speaking, the group had already passed the courtyard, entered the lobby and sat down, but no one served tea for a long time, and the servants didn't know where to run.
After getting angry, Jia Gongzi's face was a little pale, and he was unwilling: "Can't you give me some charms to suppress it?" Rest assured, the remuneration is really not a problem. β
He didn't know that these people went out to practice, and they didn't take any remuneration in their eyes. Jiang Yiyao said: "It depends on how you want to suppress it." β
"How?"
Lan Jiu Ge said: "Suppression, it is a symptom but not a root cause." If you just want the evil cult to get in, then it's okay to say, but it can still come to your house to shoot the shavings, and I guess your door will be more diligent than the Fu Seal by then. If you want the evil to retreat, you have to change it faster, and the longer it is suppressed, the greater its resentment......"
Jiang Yiyao sat quietly and listened to your nonsense without saying a word. It is true that the suppression is not a good strategy in the end, but the production and use of the suppression charm and the rejection charm are not as laborious and cumbersome as Lan Jiu Ge said. But Lan Jiu Ge didn't know how to practice this mouth, it was so heaven and earth that Lan Sichai, who was excellent in his homework, was stunned when he heard it, and he almost believed it.
Jia Gongzi heard him say that it was very troublesome, as if if he chose to suppress it, he would have endless troubles, and he couldn't help muttering in his heart, so he had to say: "There is no way to do it once and for all?!" β
Lan Jiu Ge changed his words and said, "Whether you can or not, it's up to you." β
Jia Gongzi said: "Why do you look at me?" β
Lan Jiu Ge said: "I can make a talisman for you, but it depends on whether you are willing to answer my question truthfully." β
"What's the problem?"
Lan Jiu Ge said: "Did you know this murderous corpse before it was born? β
After being silent for a long time, finally, Jia Gongzi said, "I know." β
