Jianying's thoughts went back to seven days ago, or even earlier.

One evening seven days ago, the master called him to him, and first asked Guan Ying about his practice in the back mountain, then about the arrangements for fasting in the next few days, and finally about Jianying's age.

"That's all?" Guan Ying is puzzled, is there anything worth talking about?

"Senior brother, this shows that you still don't know enough about Master." Jianying waved his hand and asked, "Let me ask you, what kind of person is Master in your mind?"

"Jealousy and hatred?"

"Justice?"

"An old naughty boy who lived to be 90 years old and still loves to read the comic strip "Crazy Boy"?"

Guan Ying's answers were denied one by one, and Jian Ying finally smiled and said his answer.

"Master, he's a heartless person."

"Senior brother, you talk nonsense, Master is so good to us, others say that he is a warm-hearted person, and it costs some money to help others exorcise evil spirits and catch ghosts, how can he be a heartless person?" Guanying's mouth opened wide, and he didn't understand what his senior brother was talking about.

Jianying was still laughing, "Senior brother, Master did teach you all the housekeeping skills, but that is Master's exterior, Master's inside, and what he has been cultivating is 'Wuxin', so the few fragments you just took away, the 'Heart' scroll, was burned by Master's father's hand, and I was next to him at the time."

"Heartless? What is unintentional?" Guan Ying still didn't understand.

"Actually, I don't understand, I think the so-called unintentional is probably a phrase that Master often says, don't take it to heart." Jianying's eyes flashed, and he repeated, "Don't take it to heart, that is, there is nothing in your heart, and everything is nothing, which is the Tao that Master wants to cultivate."

"In this way, then Master should not have attained cultivation." Guan Ying nodded thoughtfully.

Jianying sighed, "Yes, although Master has put down the shop on half the street below the mountain, the seventy-three members of the family, the Miss Sun in 1863, and the blood feud with those foreigners, he has two more apprentices in this Qingyun Temple."

"Senior brother, I understand what you said, but what does what you say have to do with my problem?" Guan Ying's eyes were already red when she heard this, but she still couldn't help but ask.

"I just want to tell you that because Master knows that he can't let go of us, he doesn't care much about our lives on weekdays, and when he asked about this that night, he actually had more to say, but because of 'no intention', he didn't say more, but finally mentioned that he was going down the mountain to catch a big demon, and he wanted me to take good care of you in the future."

"But since he didn't say it, how did Senior Brother find that strange thing?"

Jianying stopped rummaging and looked at Guanying fixedly, "Master cultivates 'Wuxin', but that night, he was preoccupied, I have never seen Master like this, he never asks about trivial matters in life, he asks me to go to give some money, or instructs me to buy some daily life, the words he said that night are more like saying goodbye to me, I noticed something strange, so I looked at him twice, fortunately, a person with a lot of heart is difficult to disguise himself, so I followed his intentional or unintentional gaze......

Speaking of this, Jianying's body trembled, as if he suddenly woke up from a dream, "I remembered, I remembered that strange thing, where it was hidden."

Guan Ying had never seen Jianying move so quickly, and he quickly left this miscellaneous room and returned to his master's bedroom.

Unlocking the lock, entering the door, Jianying single-handedly removed a cabinet next to the master's bed, and after removing it, there was a painting hanging inside, Guan Ying recognized, the painting on it was "He Xiangu has to dream of becoming an immortal", Jianying removed the painting, revealing a layer of newspaper pasted on the wall inside, but the piece behind the painting was not mixed with the wall, I think someone made it up later.

Jianying didn't hesitate at all, and with a punch, he took out a hole in the wall in front of him, and then took out something from the hidden compartment in the wall.

This must be the strange thing that Jianying has repeatedly mentioned in his mouth.

It was a rare round lacquer box, looking a little old, and although the Tai Chi patterns on both sides were still black and white, they were worn to varying degrees.

Jianying carefully opened the lacquer box, revealing the bright red inside, Guanying had never seen such a bright red color in his life, and felt a churn in his heart, and his body involuntarily retreated before he approached again.

In the box, there was nothing but a few pieces of paper that looked dry and yellow.

The paper is round throughout, only the size of a dumpling skin, and looks very light and thin, held in the hand, under the light, it presents a certain translucent gelatinous texture, as if it is the skin of some kind of animal.

"This ...... What kind of skin is it?" Guanying glanced at Jianying and blurted out.

"This ...... It's hard to say." Jianying picked up a piece of paper, looked at it fixedly, was startled, picked up another one, picked up another one, and just like that, he looked at the three pieces of leather paper several times, and his face became more and more ugly.

Guan Ying also saw that the same character was written on the three skins, and the handwriting was exactly the same, but the color of the handwriting was slightly different, "This is the word 'soul'? Brother, what is this? Soul Charm? Soul Talisman? Or is it some evil thing that Master has harvested?"

Jianying shook his head, "I don't know what it is, but the first time I saw these three words, I felt empty in my body, as if something had been taken away, and I can't remember what happened after that."

"Show me one." Guan Ying also picked up a piece of leather paper and put it in his hand to look at it carefully.

The font of this "soul" is very strange, it is not a traditional style, but it looks like a pattern.

Among the strokes, there are some dark lines that look like meridians, and some of them look like the subway route map that Guanying saw at the bottom of the mountain.

"No, I just saw a hologram style here, why did it change here in the blink of an eye." Guan Ying muttered to herself, discovering something strange.

"That's the strange thing, these three words, will change." Jianying was categorical, "Although I have forgotten the last time I saw these three soul words, there is one thing I still remember, these three words, at that time, were turquoise."

"Now, it's red?" Only then did Guan Ying notice the color of the three words, and with this gaze, the color of the words on the leather paper in his hand changed again.

Guan Ying became excited, "There's water flowing in here!"

Jianying's tone became heavy, "It's not water, it's blood."

"Senior brother, you're saying it's an evil thing?" Guan Ying took the leather paper in his hand closer to him, "But I don't feel the slightest demonic aura on it, I just feel, feel this thing, this thing, it...... It's breathing."
