Chapter 38: Nightfall

At nine o'clock in the evening, in the room where Su Su was before his death, Yang Xu was methodically arranging the last line of defense. Xiling does not pass the channel, and the ink bucket of the red line of Sanqian Zhai has no effect on her, so she has to put more passive defense props such as god idol talismans, hoping to delay a little more time when the resentful spirits come.

"Enough, enough. Don't put a charm on my head!" Xiling's body was already covered with talismans, and those who didn't know thought it was a Christmas tree from a distance.

Yang Xu took advantage of Xiling's vision being blocked by yellow paper, and secretly pasted another talisman. said: "Be prepared, if you have three long and two short, what do I think your family will explain." ”

Shen Qingming said, "Boss, why don't I stay with her?"

A few days ago, Shen Qingming got the book left by Zhang Ge. At first, I wanted to learn a few crafts seriously, but later I found that the content of the book was obscure and difficult to understand, and I couldn't understand it without being taught by others. However, he remembered the little stories in the book clearly. It is said in the book that the ghost has no eyes, cannot see the world of the living, and can only blindly pursue the three souls and seven spirits according to their own instincts.

The so-called three souls and seven spirits are the essence and motivation of the Taoists to maintain the action of the human body. People have three souls: one is called fetal light, the second is called cool spirit, and the third is called ghost. There are seven spirits of man, each with a name. The first is called the corpse dog, the second is called Fuya, the third is called Birdyin, the fourth is called the thief, the fifth is non-poisonous, the sixth is called defilement, and the seventh is called stinky lung. However, Shen Qingming doesn't believe in this kind of thing, of course people go to the hospital to see a doctor when they are sick, they should take medicine and take medicine, they should have surgery, inflammation is bacterial infection, surgery is to repair organs, and they have never heard of anything related to the soul. In Shen Qingming's understanding, resentful ghosts are like zombies, chasing the breath of the living, the only difference is that one can be seen and the other cannot be seen. Since he lacks two souls and six spirits, his breath is naturally much lighter than ordinary people, and most of the resentful ghosts can't see him.

Yang Xu listened to Shen Qingming's statement and thought for a moment. said: "Qingming's soul is weaker than ordinary people, it's good to let him accompany you here, after all, he is a heavenly master, although he is useless, he still has the ability to block a knife for you." ”

"Kind and kind to help, it's very angry to be said like this!" Shen Qingming complained.

Qin Yeyou moved a bunch of magic weapons from next door, Yang Xu said: "These magic weapons are all things left to me by my master back then, but it's a pity that I didn't learn how to use them, tonight I will press all these things on you first, more or less, I can feel more at ease." ”

Shen Qingming glanced at the pile of magic weapons, from the copper coin sword to the portrait of the Pure Yang Daoist, there was a mess of everything. There was a boxy compass inside that attracted Shen Qingming's attention, this thing seemed to have seen a similar one on Wu Menghai's side, but the product was much better than Wu Menghai's.

Yang Xu picked up the mirror, put it on the table and said, "There is vision, this is a golden mirror handed down by the older generation of heavenly masters." Do you see the five words on the board? Those five words represent the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth, where the pointer in the middle points to, it will urge the corresponding attribute to appear, I only know that it is necessary to use blood as a guide, but I tried, and it was not successfully started, so I threw it aside. ”

"Wow, this thing looks pretty powerful. Finally, I saw a magic weapon that is more useful than a firearm. Shen Qingming complained.

"Don't talk nonsense with you, I'll also post a talisman for you when Qingming comes to keep you safe. Yang Xu said and spat at the mouth, and nodded a few times on Shen Qingming's forehead.

"Dirty!" Shen Qingming said and went to wipe it, but was pulled by Yang Xu, and Shen Qingming looked puzzled.

"Drawing talismans is heavy on paper, as long as the runes are drawn correctly, it doesn't matter what you draw with. Yang Xu said, and also painted a spell on his forehead, "This spell can allow us to share your vision, and it will also link some of our divine consciousness." That way, if something happens, we can rush over in time to help. ”

"That, that, you won't give me this kind of thing, right?" Xiling asked nervously.

Yang Xu secretly ripped off a spell from Xiling's back, and said righteously: "Of course not!"

Qin Yeyou blushed in embarrassment and turned around and went to the room where they were facing the door. Yang Xu coughed twice, and quickly exited the deceased's room, leaving only Shen Qingming and Xiling in one room.

"That one, lonely men and widows in the same room, it's not good. Xiling said nervously, through the rune paper on Xiling's face, Shen Qingming could also see that Xiling was blushing.

"Don't worry, I'm not interested in Christmas tree spirits. Shen Qingming simply lay on the sofa and closed his eyes, "Are you relieved?"

"What kind of ghosts are you talking about, dead people, what are they?" Xiling ran to the bed, and got into the bed without taking off his clothes, only revealing his head to breathe.

"Don't you know these things yet?" Shen Qingming chatted with her without a match, waiting for drowsiness to strike.

Xiling said: "Well, in fact, I vaguely felt a little weird and confused last time, but there is no evidence, and you know that we pay the most attention to evidence in criminal investigation." ”

"Hmm..... About a few months ago, I was quite a staunch atheist. Shen Qingming picked up the gold openwork mirror, "When I saw this mirror before, I would think it was an antique." Now it's not just an antique, it's going to save my life at a critical moment. ”

Xiling asked with interest: "Why did you rebel so quickly?"

"I'm a person who insists on pragmatism. What has not been confirmed by me, even if it is said to be broken, it is only half-believed at best. What I put in front of my eyes, even if it is full of loopholes, is real for the time being. Shen Qingming thought for a while and said, "Because I saw with my own eyes that there are indeed some different rules, so I chose to believe it." In our eyes, these so-called Taoist techniques, like the current laws of science, are just another means to achieve their goals. ”

Xiling said a little sleepily: "It's a pity that you don't go to study criminal investigation." The brain turns fast, the logic is clear and clear, except for the observation ability is not qualified, it is a good material for being a police detective. ”

"Isn't that the same as now? Now I'm not just helping the dead to clear their grievances. Speaking of this, Shen Qingming also began to feel sleepy, and he held on to his spirit and Xiling said, "If you really see any ghosts for a while, hide behind me." Don't panic, it's more dangerous. ”

"At this time, you are quite ......" Xiling's voice became smaller and smaller.
