After the matter of the Weaver Girl Bathhouse, Jiang Jinjiu practiced diligently, and he could practice for at least an hour every day.

First, he was worried that the cult would find out about him, and he was afraid that he would be retaliated against and die.

Second, Li Er is tight.

The third is that he found that he had the ability to protect others, so he wanted to become more powerful, especially how to use the "Shikigami" form at will.

Afterwards, Li Er couldn't figure out how to use the Shishen form, and tried to try it and only in the possession state.

Qin Xuan didn't know either, and there was no clue after asking around.

An and a half months passed peacefully, and I couldn't inquire about any trouble. There was no threat, Jiang Jinjiu was lazy in his heart, and Li Er also had a slack mentality towards this eldest son.

Li Er found that Jiang Jinjiu was not a good seedling in terms of heart, understanding and perseverance. And he finally discovered that for modern people, kung fu is just a kind of culture, a kind of exercise to strengthen the body, and very few people pursue the highest realm.

Moreover, the path of cultivation requires perseverance, and Jiang Jinjiu, as a part-time worker, works hard all day long for his livelihood, which is not long-lasting. In addition, it is better to teach the body memory as fast as the body, but it is better to lay a good foundation as much as possible.

As for how far he can go, Li Er's attitude is not to hide selfishness, nor to force penance, and the only requirement for him is that his character must be upright.

However, Li Er didn't tell him this kind of thought, and he still hoped that Jiang Jinjiu could reach a certain level and not disgrace his teacher.

It turned out that Li Er's unspoken choice was very wise.

A week before the National Day, Jiang Jinjiu had no intention of practicing, and planned to go to a certain place to play, have a good vacation, and enjoy it easily.

He asked Qinxuan to go with him, and she readily agreed, and proposed to go to the ancient county town of Cicheng, Zhejiang, and he agreed without thinking about it.

However, when I arrived at the airport, Qin Zhaoyun also came.

Jiang Jinjiu was very unhappy with this big bulb, but what could he do, he could only sigh in his heart.

When I arrived in Cicheng, I was first pulled away by a car. The brother and sister enthusiastically took him to the cultural street of the ancient county town to watch the scenery, taste the food, and even watch a Peking opera.

In the evening, the brother and sister took him to a villa area and entered a very beautiful villa by the lake.

However, what he didn't expect was that it was Gongsun Zhi who welcomed the guests!

"It's been a long time since I saw Jiang Jinjiu, but it's been good lately."

Gongsun Zhi is wearing a red kung fu suit, which is quite distinctive, with a national style design and the texture of a suit. It not only reflects the festivity of the festival, but also sets off his old-fashioned, noble and introverted temperament.

Jiang Jinjiu bent over, trotted forward all the way to hold his hand, and said with a smile on his face, "Thanks to you, the food is fragrant, and the body is very good." Suddenly, his face changed, and he turned his head to blame the brother and sister: "Why didn't you tell me to come to Mr. Gongsun's house!" Hurt me to come empty-handed. "Mr. Gongsun has helped me many times, and I have always wanted to thank you in person, but I am afraid that your noble person will be busy and dare not disturb." ”

Gongsun Zhi smiled lightly and said, "It's just a gesture." ”

After some politeness, Gongsun Zhi introduced the three of them into the living room.

There was tea on the coffee table, pastries, and fruits, and the four of them sat down, and Gongsun Zhi told everyone to be free.

Qin Zhaoyun was not polite at all, brought the fruit plate to the front to eat, and took a plate of Jiang Jinjiu, telling him not to be polite.

Qin Xuan leaned over to Gongsun Zhi's side, and said in a coquettish voice, "Senior brother, I brought someone to you, the Yushu bell ring I told you last time, shouldn't I take it out." ”

Gongsun Zhi took out a wooden box from under the coffee table and put it in front of her, and said with a smile: "You clever ghost, you have to pay for dragging someone with you." ”

"Senior brother, look at what you said, you have a lot of money, and it's embarrassing to take it for nothing, you have a reason to resist it, don't you take it with peace of mind."

"Hahaha...... You, you, count you smart. ”

Qin Xuan smiled and opened the box.

Inside lay a string of bracelets with sixteen beads on them, four in the shape of beasts.

The remaining 12 beads, about 12 millimeters, are jade-like, blue-green with wood textures. Each bead is hollowed out and engraved with a character, which is "Zi, Chou, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu, Hai." "The inside of the bead is hollow, about eight millimeters in diameter, and inside is a purple wooden ball the size of a soybean, and the wooden ball is covered with small bumps.

The beasts are green dragons made of green jade, which are located between Yin and Mao. The white tiger made of striped white jade is located between noon. The red bird made of red blood stone is located between the unitary birds. The Xuanwu made of citrine is located between the sub-ugly.

When the box is first opened, a strange fragrance wafts out, which makes the listener feel refreshed, but after only a few seconds, the fragrance disappears.

Qin Xuan picked up the bracelet and put it on his left hand, the size was appropriate. With a slight shake of the wrist, the wooden ball in the bead hit a gurgling sound, much like the camel bell of some years, the sound is not loud, but it is crisp in the ear. With a hint of strange fragrance, the taste is the same as in the first box, but not as strong. But this hint of fragrance is very pleasant, like soft music to help you sleep, giving people a soothing soul.

Qin Zhaoyun was very puzzled when he saw the bracelet, "I thought you had some kind of treasure, isn't the Yushu bell ring just for insect repellent, it's useless." ”

Qin Xuan glanced at him, "What do you know, you don't know what I've been through recently, I can meet snakes, insects, rats and ants everywhere, even flying in the sky." The role of the eagle bone whistle is limited, you know, not afraid of those but the diaphragm should be, the bell ring is not good, and the insect repellent and pest avoidance are top-notch. ”

Jiang Jinjiu asked curiously, "How powerful is it?" ”

"Hmph, do you see the wooden balls in the beads? That is during the growth period of rosewood, every 20 days a drop of toad poison, the poisoned area will gradually grow xyloma, three years later, to grow to the size of a soybean grain. Usually it has no smell, but when it is bumped, it will produce a peculiar fragrance, which is harmless and fragrant to humans, but it is a very disliked smell for reptiles, especially poisons. Moreover, when a wooden ball hits a bead made of lapis lazuli, the sound made is like the sound of a rattlesnake's tail shaking, which can intimidate animals. ”

As she spoke, she turned her wrist, and a series of sounds sounded like several women in high heels running at a rapid pace.

Jiang Jinjiu looked at it with greed, and he also wanted a string in his heart.

"There's also the ultimate." Qin Xuan took off the bracelet, took out a small flashlight from his bag, and turned on the switch against the back of Qinglong. The beam of light turned into a green light through the green dragon, and the irradiation range became larger, enveloping Jiang Jinjiu's whole person.

Jiang Jinjiu suddenly felt very uncomfortable, there seemed to be invisible ripples in front of him, and his eyes became more and more flowery. Especially when I found that Qinglong's eyes were shining, I felt dizzy and swollen after staring at it for a while, and I felt a little sick to my stomach.

"How? It's not comfortable. These four beasts have different halos and different functions, the stronger the light, the bigger and more beasts that can be driven away, and they can also subdue the beasts, not bad. ”

Jiang Jinjiu exclaimed, "I'm going!" It's all against the sky! ”

Qin Xuan sighed and said, "It's a pity that the shortcomings are also obvious, because of the relationship between the attributes, you can't produce four rays at the same time, otherwise the effect will be canceled, so you can only use artificial light sources at most two rays at the same time." ”

"Isn't that just to carry two flashlights with you, it's a lot of trouble."

"Stupid sake lees, wouldn't it be good to use a laser pointer, when I order a double-ended laser pointer, I can irradiate two at the same time."

"Or are you smart."

Suddenly, Gongsun Zhi coughed lightly, "Let me interject, you must be tired after a day of shopping." We'll leave early tomorrow morning, and we'll rest early after dinner. ”

"Early in the morning?" Jiang Jinjiu asked, "Are you going to climb the mountain to play?" ”

Gongsun Zhi was puzzled: "Climbing the mountain to play? ”

Qin Xuan smiled embarrassedly, moved away from Gongsun Zhi, and said softly, "Senior brother, you said that you haven't told him about it yet." ”

"You!" Gongsun Zhi pointed at her and said in surprise: "You mean you two deceived people!?" ”

Qin Xuan sat next to Jiang Jinjiu, put his arm around him, and smiled weakly, "It's okay, senior brother, if you tell him now, he will definitely agree." After speaking, he turned his head to stare at Jiang Jinjiu, and said coquettishly while shaking his arm, "No, let you help, I will definitely agree." ”

Jiang Jinjiu was embarrassed by her, but when he heard that Gongsun Zhi had something to help, he immediately replied, "That's right, Mr. Gongsun, if I can contribute a little bit to your affairs, just say that I will do my best." ”

Gongsun Zhi shook his head and said, "No, I have to explain this matter to you." ”

At this moment, a woman in uniform walked up to him and told him that the dishes were ready and that it was time to start the meal.

Gongsun Zhi beckoned, "Let's talk while eating." ”

During the dinner, Gongsun Zhi recounted the information he had collected over the years, the main of which was about the strange events that had occurred in several mountainous areas between Cixi and Yuyao.

First, between May and September of the lunar calendar every year, on one of the first quarter moon days, three o'clock in the ugly hour, born in the second half of the third month of the lunar calendar, a young woman from other provinces and a monkey climbs to the top of the Sanding Mountain during menstruation, and will feel the earth shake the mountain, and faintly hear the sound of striking iron.

Second, on the days of the beginning of spring and autumn every year, if the shape of the moon is a new moon, at sunrise, a flock of birds will appear in a certain sky west of Yangpu Bay, and there are many varieties, and no more than 50 birds appear at a time. They hovered in the air and pecked at an area, as if there was something invisible to the naked eye.

After about ten minutes, the birds came to rest, and one by one they became stupid birds. If it falls on a tree, it's fine, but if it falls on the ground, even if wild cats and dogs come, they won't fly away.

The flock of birds was dumbfounded for an hour before they came to their senses and scattered in all directions.

Third, during the beginning of summer to the beginning of autumn every year, on the day of the waning moon, and during thunderstorms, after the water accumulates in the southeast of Yujiaao, if the lightning strikes the water surface, it will present a strange picture.

Within a diameter of about 30 meters, the underwater ground will glow with a point of fluorescence, outlining a bird with a long beak and a steamed bun-shaped bag on the top of its head.

Fourth, during the autumn solstice every year, on the night of the full moon, and there is an east wind of more than five levels, there will be a strange scene of wind wrapped in sand and soil into a ball and rolling up the cliff in the area of Wanzhanggang. In addition, when the terroir ball rolls, it makes a sound like a child's laughter, and where it disappears, a mulberry sapling will grow the next year, but it has not lived for three years.

These strange things are rarely seen even by the local residents. But as the saying goes, no book is written, and the witnesses are bird-watching enthusiasts, plant graduate students, forest rangers, etc., who will pass on these strange things to the people, not to annihilate them.

Coupled with the collection of people with intentions, this information eventually converged into the hands of Gongsun Zhi.

Gongsun Zhi told everyone that these messages seem to be independent, but they all point to one person.

Zuo Ci.
