"At that time, I got some clues, and when I followed it to Dongyan Town, it was buried by a heavy snowfall, and only Shen Pei was standing alone outside the ice."

Sixteen years ago, that heavy snowfall.

"What kind of clues?"

"The anomaly of the stars." He came out of his mind for a moment and said, "An old friend of mine once told me that a person lives in the world and has a reason for his life, and he must seek it in order to find his own meaning. ”

I pursed my lips and asked, "Did you find it?" ”

"I'm not sure." He said: "I thought those omens would give me a clear guide, but that time, all I saw was Shen Pei, and the signature was written by him at that time and left for me as a promise to confirm in the future." ”

"Promise?"

"After you become an adult, become the treasurer of Shen Ji, and find the next successor, he promised to give me a message that I would come to you again at that time and take you out of Dongyan Town."

"Then you went to Dongyan Town, did you receive a message from Master?"

Jiang Xun was silent, "No, since that parting, we haven't been in touch for all these years, let alone talking about each other." I went to Dongyan Town because I thought he had lied to me, and I thought he hadn't thought to give me any news at all, but after I got there, I realized that he had been missing for a long time, and Shen Ji was the only one left, you and Shen Ziwei. ”

"Jiang Xun." I thought about it and asked, "Sixteen years ago, did you help us?" ”

He looks about my age, so how old was he? Teenagers?

When I asked this sentence, I first questioned my own doubts.

How can a child have that ability?

Jiang Xun replaced the answer with silence, I couldn't imagine it, and then asked: "Before Master left, he said that he was going to repay a friend's favor, and I want to know, that person ...... Is that you? ”

He still didn't want to give me an answer, I said, "If what you said is true, why didn't you tell me the truth at the beginning, but instead made up lies with Tang Jiao to deceive me?" ”

Thinking of the lies that Tang Ka told when he was in Muzhang County, I should have been a little more suspicious of them, but I still can't tell which sentence they said is true and which sentence is false.

Jiang Xun raised his eyes to look at me and said, "Because I know that if it weren't for those lies, you wouldn't let your guard down on us, and if you didn't think Shen Pei was here, you wouldn't have come to Chengshui City with us." ”

"But your lie killed an innocent man." I shuddered when I thought of that scene, and said, "I don't know why Master has been silent for so many years as soon as he left, but now I am in the open and the enemy is in the dark, and the other party's target is obviously my master, the fortune teller, just a substitute for the dead who doesn't know anything." ”

"None of us expected this, it was an accident."

"It's a human life!"

"Shen Qing." He still said in a light tone, "I hope you can calm down." ”

"Calm down?" I took a breath and said, "You said so many vague words, but you didn't give me any clear answers, I don't even know who you are, how do you calm me down?" ”

"It's not that I don't want to tell you, it's that I can't now."

Jiang Xun said: "When we practice different methods, we should understand that there must be a predestined number of days for things to happen, and before the time comes, no one should try to leak or tamper with them. Some things, lost are lost, and if you want to get them back, you can only rely on yourself. You have the practice you are destined for, and so do I. ”

I am dumbfounded, of course I understand the truth, but if people are not in it, how can they know the state of mind of the people in the bureau.

Is that what it means?

"Someday, I'll tell you everything I have."

He said, "Shen Qing, you believe me. ”

There was some kind of throbbing in my heart, I couldn't tell, I couldn't make sense, I looked at his face, I knew nothing before this, but why, when the two of them were near, I couldn't guard against him, treat him like a normal stranger.

Long after our conversation ended, Tang Jia and Ziwei came out of the room, and the silence of the two people extended out, tying the other two people firmly inside.

Tang Jiao is not used to such a cold scene, turned on the TV, and not long after, there was an emergency broadcast of a piece of news, in the broadcast community gas leak caused by the fire, the fire has been extinguished in time, more than 20 people have been injured, not sure if anyone died, please give way to the ambulance by the driver nearby, give priority to the injured.

"That ......" Tang Jiao broke the silence and said, "The body was burned, was the murder covered up?" ”

No one spoke, and he asked, "What are we going to do now, are we going to find the head?" ”

"There's no need." Jiang Xun pinched his eyebrows, relieved his tiredness, and said: "Now it seems that we should face more than one person, the target of the perpetrator is Shen Pei, but I'm afraid he hasn't seen Shen Pei, so I don't know what he looks like, and I can't be sure who he killed, or I need to hand it over to the person behind him to verify his identity before taking the head of the corpse away." Although we haven't found any clues in our hands, at least the other party is the same, and Shen Pei should still be safe now. What we have to do is either find Shen Pei before they do, or catch the murderer before Shen Pei is found. ”

"You said before that the Situ family's puppet control technique ......" I slowly spoke, asking, "Can you control your own puppet to kill people?" ”

"They have always been low-key, and they live in the wilderness, since the new head of the family, Situ Yu, took office, this technique has disappeared from the outside world for a long time, and I don't know about it."

"Are we going to Dongchuan?" Zi didn't ask.

I haven't thought about it yet, I'm afraid that I will return in vain, and I'm afraid that it will disturb Qing Xiu and lead to more involvement.

Tang Jiao was a little anxious when he saw that we were discussing this, "No, didn't we come back to Chengshui to discuss the matter of Xuanzong's Mausoleum?" Why don't you mention this one by one, and you still have to leave? ”

I looked at him for a few seconds to make sure he wasn't still using the incident as an excuse, and turned my head away from him.

I'm wondering why those people would kill him, since Master has never fought or robbed, and has never had a grudge against anyone.

Master's Taoism is much higher than mine, just a puppet, and he must not be able to help him, but if he is safe, why has he not contacted me for so many years.

"Master—Master." Before the Son called me a second time, I responded calmly and looked at him blankly.

The things he bought were still on the table, and he pointed to me and asked, "Do we still care about that girl?" ”

I almost forgot that there was such a thing, and after recalling it, I said, "Let's prepare first, and I'll go to the school in the evening." ”

Ziwei nodded, got up to study the ink, and reconciled the cinnabar, I really couldn't calm down, looked at the time, asked Ziwei to draw the rune paper that needed to be used, hid in the room alone, and looked at the master's spiritual position for a long time.

It was very dark in the middle of the day, and the street lamps and billboards on both sides of the road kept it from going out at any time, and the headlights wandered around, and everywhere you went, there was a dazzling light in front of you.

I changed my clothes, wrapped the tart whip around my waist, took a few pieces of talisman paper on my body, took two flashlights, and went out to school.

Tang Jiao chattered all the way, followed us downstairs, and finally slipped back out of fear, but I didn't expect that when we arrived at the back door of the playground of Chengshui No. 4 Middle School, we would see Jiang Xun there.

The three of them faced each other, and he leaned against the wall with his arms folded, as if he had been waiting for a long time, and when he saw that we were not talking nonsense, he said let's go, and climbed the high wall first.

At this time, the students were still studying in the evening, the lights were on in the class, and there was silence outside, and there was no one in the room.

I sacrificed a talisman to make a pair of eyes more sensitive to the yin qi, and followed its guidance to go forward, walking to the place where the yin qi was the most vigorous, the spell on the rune paper shone brightly, but I didn't see any form, and I heard Jiang Xun say: "This place used to be a mass grave, full of corpse qi, when the construction was started, I looked for Mr. Feng Shui, and buried a formation under the foundation, even if there was anything, it couldn't hurt anyone." ”

"But Qi Xiaowan ......"

As soon as I finished speaking, I heard footsteps behind me, and I stopped and hid with the two of them, and then I saw several children coming out of the school building, with eager steps, and urged the people behind me to hurry up.

"It's so late, are we really going to go?" A girl's voice, nervously following the two men.

"I don't want to either, but you also saw the fate of Zhou Fang today, and you also received the note, if we don't go, we may be the same as him tomorrow, or even worse than him."

"We just need to apologize to it and we'll be fine, right? It was obviously not our work that day. ”

"It's okay, it's okay." The boy kept repeating these three words in his mouth, walked closer to us, turned to look at the two people behind him, and asked, "Have you taken all the things I asked you to prepare?" ”

"Glutinous rice, I've got it all in a bag."

"I got gas and a lighter, too." The boy took out a mineral water bottle from his backpack, his hands shaking.

"Li Kang." The girl called out to the boy in front of her and asked in a trill, "Will this really be useful?" We're not going to it off, are we? I don't want to die. ”

The boy covered her mouth, "Shhh ”

The girl named Yueyue covered her mouth and choked up, Li Kang said: "Don't worry, we are just to protect ourselves, if nothing happens for a while, you must not do it, after all, it is not us who snatched its sacrifice, he should also go to Zhou Fang and Qi Xiaowan if he wants to find it, but if it really wants to kill us, we will fight with it." ”

No one responded to him, Li Kang swallowed his saliva, "While it's not completely dark, let's hurry up." ”

"Where are they going?" Ziwei asked in a low voice, "Are we going to keep up?" ”

I nodded, and pulled away to follow them. There were also three people on the opposite side, who climbed out of the place where we had just entered, and walked out of the back door for a while, until finally turned onto a path with a steep slope and entered a factory that looked like it had been abandoned.

I hid in the shadow of a tree, which was overgrown with weeds, and before I could find out where the few of them had gotten into, I felt a special aura pass through the side, and before I could tell what it was, there was a scream from behind the opposite building, and then a flame burst into the sky.
