CHAPTER XXV
He clasped his hands in front of his chest and said to me: "My name is Qin Ye, a native of Dongchuan, because I was born when the summer solstice Yang Qi gathered, so I am not afraid of the yin and the underworld, and because of an accident when I was a child, I made a deal with people, and I got this errand now, called 'Impermanence', I help to do some tedious chores on weekdays, and catch the souls that are inconvenient to do over there." ”
"Impermanence" is mentioned in many books on Zhiwei, and the reason for its existence is said in the "Notes on Reading Wei Caotang": "The sickbed must be guarded by someone, the sun is shining, and the ghosts are difficult to approach." Or there may be a true nobleman, whose spirit is vigorous; A true gentleman, his temperament is strong, and he especially dare not approach. Or the officers who are punished by the soldiers have the spirit of slaughter, and the strong men have the spirit of ferocity, and they cannot come near. However, the soul body is yin and yang, and there is no need to worry about these things, so it must be prepared. ”
"Born soul", that is, a person hangs there in one breath and is not broken, but the soul has been out of the body, and if the opportunity is right, it can also return to the body and be resurrected.
Qin Ye said: "There are still a lot of ghosts waiting to pass behind, and it is not a reason for your car to be parked here and stopped, if someone really wants to calculate you and needs my help, Miss Shen, you can just speak." ”
Even if we know that we have been deceived, we are now stuck here, and we can't leave if we want to. If I went to confront the driver at this time, it would only cause more trouble and expose everyone to danger, so I thanked him and said, "I also want to know what kind of calculation he is making, this matter should be resolved privately after we leave here, and the most important thing is to let you pass smoothly first." ”
Qin Ye smiled, his expression slightly relaxed, "Thank you Miss Shen for your understanding." ”
I didn't think about it properly before, and I didn't pay attention to the location where the car was parked, and now it is not easy to move again, but fortunately, Qin Ye used the soul bell to control the yin spirit from approaching, and spread a short distance for us.
I returned to the car, first asked the driver to put the car as close to the edge of the cliff as possible, and had a way in my heart for the time being, before getting out of the car, I called Tang Jiao to my side, hinted at him with his eyes, and said solemnly: "Keep an eye on him, if there is any abnormal movement, call me immediately, understand?" ”
Tang Jiao was stunned for a moment, glanced over quietly, and nodded confusedly.
I didn't have too much trust in him in Muzhang County, and I had no other choice, I just hoped that he could be more reliable and understand what I was referring to.
I borrowed an umbrella from someone, got out of the car with a roll of tape from the previous passenger, hid in a gap in the back of the car, and asked Qin Ye to help, and put the yin charm on it regularly, splicing long strips into a large net. In his uncertain eyes, I took this "net" to the railing of the road, treated it with the dismantled umbrella bone and used it as a support, spread it on the other side of the railing, and pulled several long strips of tape to hang on the railing to fix it.
Liu Ruo mentioned the four words "vaporizing the form" before, although I can't do that kind of realm, but we do yin things, we usually have tied a wreath sedan chair in Shen Ji, and it is not difficult to borrow tools to make some objects that can be used by yin souls.
The Yin Soul itself has almost no weight, so it doesn't need to be strong, as long as it can withstand the drizzle and breeze in front of you and withstand the bumps, it is enough.
Qin Ye saw the clouds and fog at first, but at this time, the clouds opened and the fog dispersed, and after I confirmed that it was stable, and the seal under my hand broke the yin and yang, so that it could pass through the railing, I couldn't help but clap my hands and shout "wonderful".
I smiled politely at him and said, "The road on the bridge is barely a little more than a parking space, and it shouldn't hinder you from crossing the road anymore, but it's just that you're tired and make an extra turn here." ”
"What's the fatigue of this little road?" Qin Ye smiled and said, "Miss Shen is really witty, and she deserves to be Mr. Shen's disciple." ”
"I'm sorry for your trouble." I say.
The bell in Qin Ye's hand shook, and the souls that were crowded in front of the car turned around and walked towards the bridge made of yin qi.
I hung a heart, after all, only the idea, it was the first time to practice, and I was relieved to see them walk over steadily.
After Qin Ye and I retreated to the back of the car, we watched them slowly leave, no longer nervous. Calm down, looking at those souls of different deaths and ages, walking on the same road with almost the same thoughts at this moment, I can't help but feel a little emotional, and a burst of amazement arises.
Qin Ye stood in place for a while, ready to say goodbye to me when the ghosts of the past were about to dissipate.
I saluted him and thanked him, but when Qin Ye was about to leave, he touched the back of his head, revealing a childish and shy smile that belonged to his age, and asked embarrassedly: "That, can I trouble Miss Shen with something?" ”
"If I can do it, please tell me."
"Miss Shen, you ...... After such a long journey here, what food do you have with you? ”
I was stunned for a moment, his face was embarrassed, and he said: "There are not enough people on the side of the Midyear Festival, and the servants have been sent out, I was arrested by a temporary notice the morning before yesterday, and I haven't even drunk saliva until now, I am a living person after all, I really can't eat their tribute, it's all a waxy smell." ”
He muttered quietly, and I was amused by his appearance, no matter what errand he did, he was still a child, and chuckled, "Then you wait a while, and I'll go get you something to eat." ”
He nodded shyly, I went back to the car, asked Tang Jiao, took some snacks, fruits and bottled water from his backpack, and gave him a lunch box prepared in the car, took it from an inner bag of the backpack and handed it to him.
"Thank you, Miss Shen." As soon as Qin Ye took it, there was a sudden vibration on the road under his feet, and a few small broken stones on the side of the mountain rock were shaken down and smashed on the roof of the car, and a muffled thunder exploded in the sky without warning. I don't know if I heard it wrong, but there seemed to be a beastly wail in the huge thunder, which made people's scalps tingle in the silence.
"What's going on?" I asked.
Qin Ye shook his head and said suspiciously: "It's not like the underworld mission to capture evil ghosts, such a big battle, is there something going on?" This is not a proper day for ascension. ”
There was no result, and we all waited for it, but the thunder sounded intermittently, sounded for about three or four minutes, and gradually subsided, and the faint tremor disappeared, and nothing happened in the whole process, except for some stones and dust that were shaken off.
The ghost passed by, time could not be delayed, and there was nothing unusual, Qin Ye said goodbye to me again, and said with a smile: "Seeing each other today is really a fate, my home is in Dongchuan, when you get there, if we can still see you, I will definitely entertain you." ”
He glanced at the past ghost, leaned over and bowed to me, and said, "Then I'll take my leave first." ”
I answered, watched him leave, looked up at the dark night sky after calming down, but my mood could not be calm, I restrained my smile, returned to the car and continued to wait.
The people in the car still had frightened faces, and Tang Jia also came to ask me what was going on, but I couldn't answer, so he comforted himself: "Maybe it's just a normal weather phenomenon, we're all too nervous." ”
I knew it couldn't be that simple, but I nodded in agreement to make it easier for him.
The atmosphere in the car was depressing, and Ziwei and Jiang Xun had been going for a lot longer than I thought. It was almost two o'clock in the morning, and no one was sleepy, and no one spoke, but they all shrank in their seats, and did not dare to speak if they had any questions.
After another half hour or so, I heard the sound of a car engine outside, and hurriedly asked the driver to open the car door and run down the road to look, and several headlights appeared in front of me. Before my tense nerves were completely relaxed, I ran a few steps over, and the car in front of me stopped, the door opened, and there was only Ziwei in front of me.
I squinted my eyes and saw him clearly in the light, because I was in a hurry, my figure looked embarrassed, and there were a few more scratches on my face.
I pulled him over and took a closer look, and seeing that there were no other injuries on his body, I frowned and said, "What happened?" What about Jiang Xun? The two of you left together, why are you the only ones who came back? ”
Ziwei rolled his throat and said: "We met a few strange people on the road, I didn't see anything clearly at that time, he asked me to go quickly, but they were very fast, and after approaching, I found that they were a few stiff hairs, we couldn't resist it, Jiang Xun used magic to lead them to another road, let me go to find a car to take you away first." ”
"So you left him alone?" I panicked in my heart, and when I saw that he didn't say anything, I was even more angry, "The two of you can't deal with it yet, you actually threw all the dangers to yourself, Shen Ziwei, who taught you morality!" ”
"Hey, no, shopkeeper Shen, why did you two quarrel?" Tang Jiao walked over, glanced at it, and looked confused, "Where's Xun'er?" ”
I can't explain to him, the incident has happened, no matter how much complaining is useless, I suppressed my anger and said to Ziwei: "You take them back first, and I'll go to him." ”
"Shopkeeper Shen, where are you going?"
Tang Jiaren was still stunned, Ziwei stopped me, "I will make up for what I have done, you take them away, I will look for them." ”
"You don't need to be reckless now." In front of Tang Jiao, I endured it and didn't say anything, went to the car and took my backpack to tidy it up, and only carried some things that I might need on my back. Tang Jiao figured out the situation, and also ran to stop him, blocking in front of me and said: "Shopkeeper Shen, don't worry first, little brother Shen is also afraid that something will happen to our side, so he doesn't dare to drag it, since Xun'er let him go, he will definitely have a way to get out, you go back with us first, and when it is dawn, we will find someone together." ”
"Mao Zhuang moves quickly, is not afraid of flames and sunlight, and has a body of copper skin and iron bones for others to beat, and today is the day of the year with the strongest yin qi, which undoubtedly gives this thing another layer of blessing. Jiang Xun was alone, he didn't have any magic weapons on his body, and he was bare-handed, what could he do to deal with it? I said, "I have to find him before the accident, and I can't sit there until dawn before I see him." ”
