Volume 1: Night Shine Kyushu Ming VIII: Mirror Mystery
Zhou Linchao is that shadow!
Is it also the room of Boss Li who he went to rummage?
Not necessarily.
Looking at it now, it was the same person who killed Zhang Qi and messed up Boss Li's room, and the other party was looking for something, but the Buddha bead was finally taken away and hidden by Meng Xiangping, and finally fell into the hands of Qiu Shaohu.
Looking at the tragic situation of Zhang Qi's death, the person who killed him must have an extremely murderous and fierce move.
But in the previous battle in the dark, all Qiu Shaohu could feel was the weird darkness, but he couldn't talk about how fierce it was.
So who the hell is it?
After thinking about it, Qiu Shaohu walked out of the room, and saw that Qin Xiang was already waiting for him outside, and the others were nowhere to be seen, probably going to different places according to the group.
Seeing Qiu Shaohu come out, Qin Xiang didn't say anything, just waved his hand and let Qiu Shaohu lead the way.
After all, what they wanted to search was the second floor, and as a person who often walked around and worked here, Qiu Shaohu was naturally more familiar with it.
The two of them walked in the other direction along the entire corridor, one after the other. The area where they live is in the front half of the corridor, and they have already turned it over and searched it several times, and now they naturally have to go to the second half.
In the dark corridor, Qiu Shaohu could feel Qin Xiang's footsteps relaxing behind him, as if he didn't care about the current situation at all, and felt like he was taking a walk, so he said, "You can actually be nervous." ”
"Nervous? Could it be that you are the culprit and will attack me suddenly? Qin Xiang was a little indifferent.
As soon as he finished saying this, Qin Xiang immediately froze in place.
He could clearly feel something on his cheeks, a cold sensation, like a thin thread. It was also painted black, barely noticeable in the dark corridors. And the position is very embarrassing, it is a relatively low position relative to the human head, even if you notice it at the moment before approaching, it is difficult to completely avoid it in a hurry.
Even if you can avoid it, there is another, more tricky situation.
Qin Xiang could sense that his right foot was obviously stepping on the air, and a piece of the floor under his feet could be moved, if he had just stepped rashly to the end, he was afraid that he would directly affect another mechanism.
In this way, the arrangement is so thorough that it is almost to the extent of yin damage. If it weren't for Qiu Shaohu's words to remind him to be on guard before, I'm afraid Qin Xiang would have been tricked.
"I said, you should be nervous." Qiu Shaohu said as he went to a hidden corner of the wall and flipped another switch, and immediately all the mechanisms were taken back.
"Your boss lady, it's really ......" Qin Xiang palpitated.
"No, this is what I set up," Qiu Shaohu said, "You had to live in the front before, so I put away the front mechanism a long time ago, and the second half has been left because there is no one." Be prepared. ”
"Even so, who can you deal with if you set up this kind of mechanism?" Qin Xiang used his experience as a craftsman to say: "If I step on that pedal just now, I can shoot a few hidden arrows at most, but the imperial court prohibits soldiers, how many sharp arrows can you get?" ”
"You can try." Qiu Shaohu said this somewhat meaningful sentence.
The corners of Qin Xiang's mouth curled slightly, still feeling a little disdainful, and continued to say to Qiu Shaohu, who was leading the way in front: "But even if the mechanism you have arranged is airtight, it can only stop people, what about non-human ones?" ”
He was clearly mentioning the weird things going on in the whole inn.
Qiu Shaohu said lightly: "That black shadow is just someone pretending to be a ghost." ”
"Everything in the world is the Tao, I use a hammer to strike iron is the way, and ghosts are naturally the way. Besides, there are also ways in the world that can turn people into ghosts. "Qin Xiang is naturally well-informed when he travels south and north, but what he says is a gloomy truth.
Qiu Shaohu turned around and motioned for the other party to continue.
Seeing that the young man was finally interested in his words, Qin Xiang was also a little excited, and continued: "In the world, although there are all kinds of strange people, there is really a type of person who regards his identity as a constraint, and what he thinks about is not to ascend to the Tao, but to use the method of evil rituals to try to communicate with the 'holy land' in their imagination, even if they become neither human nor ghost. ”
"A resting place?" Qiu Shaohu naturally heard this story, "A lot of Zhiwei stories have been mentioned. ”
"No, but that's not the story, it's true." Qin Xiang shook his head and said: "The weird thing about this kind of person's ability is that you don't know what the other party will do. Martial artists have to punch first, and Taoist demons have to draw talismans first, which are all traceable. Only people like this are really unguardable. He may be standing in front of you as a normal person, but the next second he becomes a shadow that passes through your chest. ”
Qin Xiang said as he walked up to Qiu Shaohu and pointed a finger at his heart, as if he wanted Qiu Shaohu to imagine the feeling of suddenly being pierced through his chest and crushed his heart unnoticed by a ghost.
Qiu Shaohu was indifferent, "Why are you talking to me about this?" ”
"Because I can trust you, because only if you are a scholar and upright, you will not be eroded by evil energy, and you can be prevented from being a ghost hidden in the dark."
"That's all?" Qiu Shaohu was straightforward, "You said these words to reassure me, and to reassure me is to win me over." Since you're looking for help, you shouldn't just tell me that, there must be more important things waiting for you later. Say, what did you find? ”
Indeed, the words that make people trust are just foreshadowing, and the most important content is often after the foreshadowing.
Qin Xiang didn't expect Qiu Shaohu to directly say what he thought, and after being stunned for a moment, he said: "The scholar is really active, and I still wonder how to tell you." It doesn't hurt to tell you just as you do - I suspect there's one more person here. ”
Qiu Shaohu's eyes changed imperceptibly, and he said, "What did you find?" ”
"Nothing to discover, just speculation." Qin Xiang shook his head and said, "Since the evening, I have always felt that someone is watching us secretly. If the story of Yundi Village is true, it is that there is a person who brought the things of Yundi Village here, and Boss Li also died tragically because of the things he obtained. Could the person from Yundi Village be hiding here at this time, just out of sight? ”
"So that's what you're talking about." Hearing that the other party was just an unfounded guess, Qiu Shaohu didn't say anything, but said: "Instead of thinking about an ethereal story here, it's better to find something wrong." ”
While speaking, Qiu Shaohu continued to walk forward, and suddenly, he found a "water trace" on the wall.
When I walked over, I realized that it wasn't water, it was sticky, some oil was oozing from the walls.
Qiu Shaohu looked closely, only to find that there was another ventilation pipe inside the wall, which had also been destroyed, exactly the same as the situation in his room.
But why does oil seep out of here?
While Qiu Shaohu was inspecting the wall, Qin Xiang walked to the room directly opposite and opened the empty door.
Because of the heavy rain, there were no guests staying tonight, except for a few of them, and the rest of the rooms were empty.
The moment he opened the door, Qin Xiang was another agitated spirit, as if a stinging pain enveloped him.
The sense of crisis that was stronger than Qiu Shaohu's agency just now made him feel like a great enemy.
But when I saw the interior, it was empty, and there was nothing but the furniture for the displays.
"Weird?" Qin Xiang was puzzled, but his sense of crisis just now was also true.
Qiu Shaohu heard the voice, looked back and found the clue, frowned and walked into the room, and picked up a mirror on the table.
The table is diagonally facing the door, but the mirror is deliberately placed facing the door, so that after opening the door, you will see your own shadow through the mirror, and you will naturally mistake it for another person and feel like a great enemy.
But the mirrors in the inn will not be placed like this, and it is a feng shui taboo for the mirror to face the door. The door is the place where the breath enters and exits, but the mirror is the place where the void space is connected, and the mirror to the door will swallow all the flowing breath as if it were invisible, blocking the vitality of the entire room.
Someone has touched this mirror!
Qiu Shaohu couldn't help but look back while thinking about it.
His eyes immediately froze.
Not only in the mirror, but when he turned around, he saw that there was a dress hanging from the beam of the door, a crimson color, which was led high by the thread, like a hanged ghost.
There seems to be a small pendant on the clothes, which looks very strange.
The next moment, the pendant suddenly disappeared from Qiu Shaohu's sight, and in the blink of an eye, it continued to enlarge in front of his eyes.
The approaching strange face is a bloodied puppet!
