The living soul is not lost, and the essence of heaven and earth is absorbed.

Qi walks around the body, containing flesh and bones.

It is recorded in the "Xuanyun Treasure Spirit Sutra": The living person breathes in and inhales, exhales the breath of heaven and earth, clears the turbidity into the body, nourishes the spleen and lungs, and the turbidity comes out with the hole. After death, the six senses and five senses are closed, and the yin and turbidity hidden in it cannot come out, turning into corpse qi, which is one of the five evils. ”

Street lamp bench, Li Qianchen's lips were white, and fine beads of sweat were soaked on his forehead, and he traveled all the way west from Zhouji Watch Store to here, although he was supported by Yiqi, it was still very difficult.

Yi Seventeen took out a sweat towel and stroked the fine sweat on Li Qianchen's forehead: "Then why is it called corpse incense?" Shouldn't the rotting corpse be a foul smell? ”

Li Qianchen raised his hand and grabbed Yi Seventeen's wrist and slowly put it down: "The corpse rots and smells unpleasant, but if you refine the corpse into oil, grind the bone and turn it into powder, and mix it with arhat grass roots, you can mix a strange fragrance."

During the Republic of China, thieves were rampant, I was ordered to hunt down a tomb robber, that person in order to avoid me, sneaked into an ancient tomb, when I chased into the tomb, the corpses in the tomb were awakened, all came to me, but the tomb robbers turned a blind eye, and then I captured the man, and under interrogation, I learned that he was rubbed with corpse incense. Not only can it confuse the corpse to avoid attack, but it can also have a miraculous effect if the corpse incense is applied all year round. ”

"Miracle effect? Could it be that Zhou Yanwen is trying to maintain a youthful appearance? ”

In order to make Li Qianchen a little more comfortable, Yi Seventeen let him lean on himself.

Li Qianchen shook his head and said: "The appearance is fake, but the embalming is real." ”

"Could it be that the soul is borrowed from the corpse? But I see that his body and soul body are mixed into one......" Yi Seventeen bit his nails, which was a small inadvertent action when he was thinking.

Li Qianchen looked at Yi Seventeen's thoughtful appearance, smiled happily, and reached out to take Yi Seventeen's right hand down: "It's time to bite bald again." ”

Yi Seventeen was stunned for a while, then reacted immediately, and scratched his head shyly: "I'm used to it." That Zhou Yanwen didn't look like he was borrowing a corpse to revive his soul, nor was he a corpse, why did he use corpse incense? ”

Seeing Yi Seventeen's cute appearance, Li Qianchen smiled dotingly, if his younger brother was still alive, he would definitely be as cute as Yi Seventeen.

"It doesn't have to be applied to the body, the smell of corpses in the store is very faint, maybe it is just hidden somewhere in the store, and the purpose is unknown. In addition to this, there is another point, which is equally suspicious. ”

"What?"

"Why is Zhou Yijing's photo carried by Zhou Yanwen?"

Yi Seventeen didn't notice this question: "Could it be because the pocket watch belongs to Zhou Yijing, so there is a photo of Zhou Yijing when he was young." ”

Yi 17 made a bold guess, Li Qianchen thought, it is not impossible, but it is still too coincidental, they listened to Su Chan's guidance to find Zhou Yanwen, and it turned out that Zhou Yanwen happened to have a photo of Zhou Yijing in the marriage book, which couldn't help but seem deliberate.

The two of them who were deep in thought suddenly heard a strange movement, and Li Qianchen chuckled: "Your stomach is screaming." ”

Yi Seventeen's cheeks were slightly red: "Let's go eat raw fried buns, eat the dark dishes I make every day, it's time to change the taste." ”

"Dark cuisine? I think it's delicious, and I won't get tired of eating it for the rest of my life. Seeing that Yi Seventeen had red ears, Li Qianchen no longer quipped: "However, it's okay to change the taste." ”

Walking on the blue-gray stone road, the two of them walked very slowly, and the street was filled with the smell of food, and the passers-by were soothing and extremely leisurely.

Outside is the hustle and bustle of Shanghai, but the streets and alleys are leisurely, and there is no cave.

Born in Shanghai, the famous fried bun is a must-have dish for every foreigner.

"The skin is thin and not broken, and it is not burnt, the two parts of the yeast are baked, the fresh filling soup is full of mouth, and the bottom is thick and scorched." This is a slip of the tongue that describes the fried buns in Shanghai.

Li Qianchen didn't like seafood, so Yi 17 ordered him chicken filling.

Yi Seventeen loves shrimp the most, so Li Qianchen asked for shrimp filling.

Fry it on the table, fry it golden brown at the bottom of the skin, sprinkle some sesame seeds and chives on the upper part, it smells fragrant, take a bite, the meat filling is fresh and tender, there is marinade, and there is the fragrance of sesame seeds and green onions when you chew.

The two of them are outstanding, and Yi Seventeen takes good care of Li Qianchen and behaves intimately, which attracts the girl at the next table to be secretly excited, and secretly takes photos as a souvenir.

Yi Seventeen ate happily, there was still oil juice left at the corner of his mouth, Li Qianchen helped him wipe off the oil juice at the corner of his mouth, and Yi Seventeen smiled innocently.

"Seventeen, I have a question for you."

"What's the problem?" Yi Seventeen took a piece of meat filling from Li Qianchen's bowl, stuffed it into his mouth, and smiled mischievously.

"What do you see in Shifangke?"

Yi Seventeen froze, looking at the gentle and elegant Li Qianchen opposite, he put down the chopsticks, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, as if he didn't hear it, he was about to take the chopsticks again, Li Qianchen grabbed his hand and said, "Can't even tell me?" ”

Yi Seventeen silently bowed his head: "No, this matter, those who know about it, will lead to death." ”

"Haven't we gotten through this?"

"No, Shifangke...... The king of men will not give up. Yi Seventeen still lowered his head, like a child who had done something wrong, and didn't dare to look directly at Li Qianchen.

"So it's about the king of people, right? You know her secret and that's why she issued a hunt warrant, right? ”

Yi Seventeen was silent, this was the second time Li Qianchen asked him, the first time was in Shifang, the four of Fenghua Xueyue were ordered to capture Yi Seventeen, Li Qianchen went out and returned, and asked Yi Seventeen why, Yi Seventeen did not say, but Li Qianchen chose to believe Yi Seventeen, so he injured the four of Fenghua Xueyue and escaped with Yi Seventeen.

Shifang objectified the relationship between the two, broke the rules, messed up the etiquette law, and did not hesitate to issue the Shifang chase and kill order, along the way, Li Qianchen wanted to ask several times, but finally did not speak.

Although Yi Seventeen was silent, Li Qianchen already had a guess in his heart, the key to the problem was still that woman, the master of the Ten Directions - the King of People.

Sandwiched a fried bun and put it in Yi Seventeen's bowl, Li Qianchen whispered softly: "It's not delicious if it's cold, I'll have to go to the watch store to investigate later, I can't go hungry." ”

Yi Seventeen nodded, and did not dare to look up until the end of the meal.

The breeze brought a slight coolness, and in the dead of night, on the street, the two walked slowly.

Maybe it was too humid at night, or maybe it was just a drizzle, and the ground was very wet.

This is a sloping road, with modern high-rise buildings mixed with buildings of the Republic of China on both sides, and the moon slowly moves from the other end of the long street to the end of the alley.

Li Qianchen secretly shuddered, his body was still too weak, this small movement was still noticed by Yi Seventeen, Yi Seventeen didn't speak, just reached out and hugged Li Qianchen's waist.

"You know, I'm afraid of the dark."

Yi Seventeen smiled innocently, Li Qianchen knew that Yi Seventeen was taking care of his face.

Standing at the door of the Zhou Ji Watch Store again, the store was pitch black, only the shadows of the two were reflected in the street lamps and glass windows.

"Do you want to go in?" Seventeen questions.

Li Qianchen looked up and looked around, the curtains were drawn in the windows on the second floor, but a faint red light was faintly visible.

"Will you pick the lock?"

"Of course."

Walking to the door, Yi 17 confidently put his hand on the door lock. Calm your mind, let the Qi emanate from the palm of your hand, pour it into the lock cylinder, close your eyes to feel the operation of the Qi, and control the direction of the Qi.

Quack –

The door opened, and the two entered the store.

When you look outside, the inside of the store is pitch black, but when you enter the inside, you can faintly see the interior of the store, and the visual is weakened, the sense of hearing becomes more sensitive, and the ticking of the clock is particularly real.

Li Qianchen took a deep breath, closed his eyes to distinguish, and immediately pointed to the entrance of the inner hall and said, "The corpse incense comes from inside, go in and take a look." ”

The two of them walked into the inner hall in the dark, the inner hall was slightly smaller than the outside, facing the entrance was a wooden staircase, a square table was placed next to the staircase, two Taishi chairs, and only a few cabinets remained.

Helped Li Qianchen to the Taishi chair and sat down, Yi Seventeen went to close the door, and after closing all the two doors, he turned on the light.

The room did not press the window, so there was no need to worry about the light coming out and revealing his whereabouts.

"Zhou Yanwen seems to be fond of collecting antiques, and this cabinet is full of old objects that are not commonly used." Yi Seventeen walked in front of the cabinet one by one, suddenly stopped, stared at a wooden photo frame in the corner cupboard, and said, "Here is a photo, it is a photo of Zhou Yijing." ”

As he spoke, Yi Seventeen opened the cupboard, took out the photo frame, and showed it to Li Qianchen.

In the background of the photo is a Republic of China building, with a fountain pool in front of the building, and Zhou Yijing is wearing a black suit, a top hat, a civilization cane, and a brooch pinned to his chest.

The woman next to her, holding Zhou Yijing's arm, stood sideways, wearing a cheongsam and a jewelry bracelet.

The two of them acted intimately, they should be husband and wife, but their faces were stiff, Zhou Yijing's brows were tightly locked, his eyes showed displeasure and even disgust, the corners of the woman's mouth were slightly raised, but there was no joy at all, her eyes were numb and focusless, and she seemed to be depressed.

"Looking at Zhou Yijing's age in the photo, this photo should be later than the one I saw before. In the photo, the two people have sad faces, more like they cater to the photographer to pose like this. ”

Yi Seventeen stood beside Li Qianchen, looked at it carefully, and said: "Well, I really can't see the slightest joy, if it is according to what Zhou Yanwen said, Zhou Yijing finally married the second miss of the Yu family, then the woman in this photo should be the second miss of the Yu family." ”

Li Qianchen did not assert: "Not necessarily, let's not say whether what Zhou Yanwen said is true, even if it is true, in his narration, Feng Minxin fell in love with Zhou Yijing at first sight, but it is not known whether Zhou Yijing really loves Feng Minxin, therefore, the woman in this photo may also be Feng Minxin." ”

"If Zhou Yijing doesn't love Feng Minxin, then why did he make a marriage contract with him? The marriage book has been decided, and it is inevitable to get married. ”

Seeing that Yi Seventeen was inadvertently about to raise his hand to gnaw his nails, Li Qianchen grabbed Yi Seventeen's hand and handed the photo frame to Yi Seventeen's hand.

"In ancient times, there were words about the matchmaker of the parents, and after the founding of the People's Republic of China, they still abounded, and it is not excluded that it is an arranged marriage, not to mention that a closer look at Zhou Yijing's two love histories, whether Feng Minxin or the second miss of the Yu family, Zhou Yijing's attitude has always been vague."

Li Qianchen's analysis is thorough, and Yi 17 thinks back to what Zhou Yanwen said, and this is indeed the case.

When describing Feng Minxin, it was only said that Feng Minxin fell in love with Zhou Yijing at first sight, and was willing to abandon everything to marry Zhou Yijing.

When describing the second lady of the Yu family, she was even more unbearable, just to seek help from the Yu family, she got married in the form of marriage.

Whether Zhou Yijing himself really likes the two women here, no one knows.

"If Zhou Yijing has Feng Minxin in his heart, Feng Minxin will end up being crazy about love, but if it is really as we guessed, Zhou Yijing does not have Feng Minxin in his heart, and Feng Minxin's death is really not worth it."

Li Qianchen said: "It doesn't matter if Zhou Yijing has her in her heart, her death is a pity." ”

Yi Seventeen didn't understand what Li Qianchen meant, only to hear Li Qianchen say in a deep voice: "I've been eavesdropping for a long time, can the two of us analyze it right?" Boss Zhou! ”
