Chapter 126: Mountain Bone Lang
Without waiting for Qi Jingzhi to turn around, a fresh and elegant fragrance had already penetrated into his nose first, wisps and refreshing.
His heart moved, and he immediately turned around to look, and saw a green-shirted girl standing in front of him, dressed somewhat similar to the maid in Jiaofu, with a fair complexion, and her appearance could barely be called delicate.
Qi Jingzhi couldn't help but be stunned, and then took a closer look at the other party's eyebrows, only to feel that everything seemed familiar, but when they were together, they became strange, and they were very different from the person he thought about a moment ago.
He frowned, quietly opened his eyebrows, but saw that the appearance of the girl in front of him was changing again and again, as if separated by a layer of clouds, he could not see clearly, and it fell on the bottom of his heart like the wind disappeared without a trace, and the water passed without a trace, leaving the slightest impression.
In this way, Rao is one of Qi Jingyi is unconvinced, and he has to admit that this Mu girl's methods are really subtle, which is beyond his current reach.
He suppressed the surprise in his heart and praised from the bottom of his heart: "Girl, good means! I only saw it a few days ago, so I don't know each other."
"Hey, how do you think it's me?" The green-shirted girl was a little surprised.
She looked around and saw that the guests around her had dispersed, and Jiao Po, Yuan Shaojun and others had also entered the main hall, so she asked softly, "Although I only cover it up slightly, not everyone can see through it, I don't know where I missed a flaw?"
Regarding her question, Qi Jingzhi did not rush to answer, but hesitated slightly, and asked, "I look like this now, how do you see through it?"
"What's so hard about that? Not to mention the knife on your back, although the scabbard style is ordinary and inconspicuous, I only saw it a few days ago, and I still have some impressions......
The green-shirted girl said, and suddenly raised her hand and tapped a few times on the bridge of her nose: "The aroma of pine and cedar on your body alone can be smelled from afar, and it is difficult for me not to see through it!"
When these few words were spoken, she suddenly paused, moved her slender fingers away from her face that had hidden her nine-point appearance, and instead pointed to Qi Jingzhi's pale cyan faceless monster face, and couldn't help but smile.
At this Dragon Mother's birthday banquet, the two of them invariably showed their faces in disguise, and they only referred to you and me as each other very tacitly, and never brought out half of the other party's name and surname, which really made this girl laugh.
Qi Jingzhi immediately understood what the other party meant, and couldn't help but smile, but the smile was first covered by the spirit mask by seven points, and the remaining three points were also distorted and became eerie.
The green-shirted girl frowned slightly, and her tone showed twelve points of disgust: "Your face is really ugly!"
Suddenly hearing such a sentence, Qi Jingzhi couldn't help but be stunned, and his smile immediately froze on his face, which was even more weird and hideous.
It's the first time he's been evaluated like this since he got the Spirit Mask.
The green-shirted girl also seemed to realize that she was a little forgetful, and immediately coughed lightly, and said with a straight face: "I'm really sorry, I was so quick to say what was in my heart!"
After that, she couldn't help but smile slyly, and the old words were repeated: "Then you can tell me, what are the flaws in me?"
Qi Jingzhi naturally doesn't care about such trivial matters, not to mention that the other party is still telling the truth, and the spirit mask is indeed ugly.
He remembered the aroma of pine and cypress that the green-shirted girl had mentioned just now, and he couldn't help but be surprised. Even if it was himself, unless he was refining and swallowing the qi of the pine and cypress armor, he would not be able to smell the aroma.
Although not long ago, the green python named Shengqing also said that Qi Jingzhi's breath was fresh and there was a faint fragrance of pine and cypress, but it was a spiritual creature in the mountains, and it was familiar with all kinds of smells in the mountains and forests, so it was okay to be able to distinguish it, but I didn't expect the girl in front of me to be able to smell it, and it seemed to be much more acute than Shengqing.
Could it be because of "Ten Thousand Pine Winds"?
Thinking of this, Qi Jingzhi stretched out his hand and pressed the position of his nose bone, and said as tactfully as possible: "The girl can recognize me, but she smells and knows people. As it happens, I can recognize the girl, and it's the same."
The green-shirted girl was stunned, and a touch of crimson suddenly rose on her face.
She raised her forearm, put her sleeve across her nose and sniffed, her expression turned suspicious, and she raised her eyes and asked, "
I don't have incense in this robe, so what kind of smell do you smell?"
Hearing this, Qi Jingzhi really thought about it carefully, half reminiscing and half considering the words, and said: "There is a perennial waterlogged swamp in the mountain behind my house, in which a few lotus plants grow, which will bloom every summer."
"When these lotus flowers open, they will emit a light fragrance, but you have to get closer to smell it, and I have only smelled it a few times by chance, because I didn't remember it immediately, but at this time, the fragrance of the lotus flower is very similar to the fragrance on the girl's body."
Hearing this, the green-shirted girl lowered her sleeves, and the suspicious look on her face had dissipated for the most part.
She looked at Qi Jing deeply, and her eyes revealed the complex emotions of the teenager's déjà vu, six points of surprise, three points of joy, and one point of undisguised shame.
Although Qi Jingzhi grew up in the mountains, he also knew that he shouldn't judge girls casually, so when he saw this, he coughed lightly and said curiously: "In front of everyone's eyes, that Humpty Dumpty was shattered by Yuan Shaojun's five bodies one after another, his divine light was dissipated, his aura was gone, and there was no trace of qi left, why did you say that it was not really dead?"
Hearing this, the green-shirted girl's eyes waved, and all the emotions in her eyes converged: "If you don't believe it, I'll go and find out its body, whether it's true or not, you can see it at a glance!"
She put down this sentence, and turned around and left, quite a bit of vigorous and capable taste.
Qi Jingzhi only said that the girl was angry, and hurriedly followed, and said in a low voice: "It's not that I don't believe you, it's just that I didn't expect that fool to hide all the people in this courtyard, and even that Dajiang Shaojun couldn't see the slightest flaw."
The green-shirted girl paused, glanced at the faceless man beside her, and seemed to have a smile on her face: "I see that you are not convinced, if you still don't believe it, you can turn around and go back to drink wine and enjoy singing and dancing, why go out with me hungry to eat and drink dew?"
In fact, when he thought of Grandpa just now, Qi Jing's heart had already sprouted an idea, and he immediately shook his head and said, "There are many children of the Jiao family, but I only know one, so I don't have to rush to the beginning. It's just because a friend of mine lost his life because of this birthday party that I came to take a look at him, and now that his wish has been granted, he should have left."
He paused, and then asked, "That Humpty Dumpty made a fuss, but since the congratulatory note has been delivered, it must have left at this time, and we have been delayed for a long time, can we still catch up?"
The green-shirted girl knew that Qi Jingzhi didn't want to talk more about that friend, so she deliberately changed the topic, nodded immediately, and followed his words and said, "It's not like you didn't see it just now, that fool is very slow to act, and after a while, it can't run far!"
However, as she said this, her steps suddenly accelerated.
Qi Jingzhi also followed the brisk pace, and was quite curious about what kind of magic method the girl would use to locate it.
Unbeknownst to them, until the two of them went all the way south out of the main gate of Jiaofu, the green-shirted girl did not have the slightest sign of wanting to perform the Xuangong magic method, but instead set her eyes on the long tethered horse stake on the west side of the door.
Qi Jingzhi followed her gaze and saw that these horse-tethered stakes were all square pillars made of bluestone.
The top of the stone pillar is carved into the shape of a soldier riding a lion, and each armor soldier and each lion is in a different posture and lifelike.
At this time, almost all the stone lions had horseback reins attached to their legs, except for the westernmost one, which was empty.
The green-shirted girl's target was exactly that, and she immediately walked straight over.
Qi Jingzhi followed behind her, silently comparing this unattended tethered horse stake with those next to her, and soon found the difference.
Among these statues of armor and lions, almost all armor soldiers and lions are facing the direction of the main entrance of Jiaofu, either respectfully, or smiling, or smiling, like a welcome.
Only the man and a lion on the westernmost horse stake are mavericks, almost facing the main gate facing south of Jiaofu, and all of them are facing southwest, and the armorer is even more drawn out of the sheath, his eyes are wide open in anger, and the lion under his crotch is also full of fangs and fierce appearance.
Qi Jingzhi couldn't help but turn his head and look in the southwest direction where they were glaring angrily
However, what you see are ordinary street houses, which are not different from other places.
"Don't look at it, it's just the most common way to suppress evil. The south-facing gate is the departure position, and the southwest is the Kun position, corresponding to the yin, and the five elements belong to the water, which is the six evils. According to the direction of the town law, the spirit stone can be set up here to ward off evil spirits, and there are many such arrangements outside the houses of famous families, which is not unusual." Z.br>
The green-shirted girl explained succinctly, "This one seems to be also a horse-tethering stake, but in fact it is a stump, and it cannot be used to tie horses. There should be a lot of arrangements like this inside and outside the Jiao Mansion."
After listening to her explanation, Qi Jingzhi was confused: "Since there are so many arrangements, how did the messenger of the God of Daishan not enter?"
The green-shirted girl smiled when she heard this: "If you change to another spirit, it will naturally be extremely difficult to do. But if my guess is right, the old man was a mountain bone man with very pure blood. It's not a difficult task for it to bypass this stake and hook up with the old bluestone troughs in the stables of Shangjiaofu."
"Yamakuro?"
Qi Jingzhi read it softly, and immediately asked, "What kind of spirit is Shan Gulang?"
The green-shirted girl looked at the stone carvings on the top of the stake, and casually explained, "The so-called mountain is made of stone, and stone is the essence of the earth, and the mountain bone lang is an extremely rare stone spirit in the mountain, and you can regard it as the heart of a mountain range."
"If you want to succeed in breeding, you have requirements for your own qualifications and even the mountain and soil quality, if you are not preempted by the god of Daishan, after a few years, that fool may not have the opportunity to ascend to the god of Daishan."
She paused, and then added: "Most of the stone spirits in this world are surnamed Shi, and all of them are related to each other, and the mountain bone lang is quite a special one of them, and this town stake in front of Jiaofu is not even a stone spirit, so naturally it can't stop it."
"As for that Dajiang Shaojun, at first glance, he is a figure with eyes above the top, and he is also a Shuifu dragon species, so he must have never put the little stone spirit in the mountains in his eyes, and it is not unusual to know this. Well...... Some of the guests may know, but they will not be stupid enough to break it in front of them and lose the face of that young monarch or even the Great River Water Mansion."
"Mountain stone spirits? Most of them are still surnamed Shi?" Qi Jingzhi remembered the appearance and behavior of the Humpty Dumpty men before, and he already believed ninety percent in his heart.
He couldn't help but secretly wonder, "That fool is obviously not fully sane, and he can't even speak, but he was entrusted with the task of a messenger, and he can't say that he is a relative of the three-eyed stone puppet......
"Yes, the stone spirits I have met are all surnamed Shi."
How did the green-shirted girl know what thoughts were turning in Qi Jingzhi's heart, and pointed to the unsheathed stone sword in the hand of the armor soldier in front of her and said, "You see, the so-called family inheritance is often reflected in these inconspicuous places."
As far as Qi Jingzhi's eyes could see, he saw that on the sword of the stone sword, there were four inconspicuous small words engraved on the sword: "The Variety of Stones."
I listened to the girl explain: "This one should be the ancestor of the stone spirit of the Qi country, engrave its name here, not to mention the evil spirit, it is an ordinary stone spirit, and it will not be easy to make a mistake. However, that fool is obviously a heartless person, and he really didn't take his ancestors seriously."
Qi Jingzhi couldn't help but be surprised when he heard this: "Is this "Stone Variety" actually a name? It's weird!"
The green-shirted girl bowed her head slightly: "From what I have seen in my travels, the people in some parts of the Qi country will follow suit, and if they don't have the money to hire a craftsman to carve a stone statue, they will retreat to the next best thing, and set up a bluestone at the entrance of the village, street, alley and even the door of their house, and also engrave these four characters on it. They only know that it can ward off evil spirits, but most of them know it but don't know why."
Qi Jingzhi suddenly nodded and said, "Although I have never seen such a custom of standing stone lettering in Linzhou, I have seen some wealthy families build small pieces of bluestone into the wall, and the stone surface will also be engraved, but it is not "Stone is like this", but "General Shi is here". But who this General Shi is, there are different opinions and opinions."
In fact, Qi Jingzhi thinks about it now, and Master Meng must know about it, but when he asked his master about it, he was reprimanded: "What are you doing with these strange forces? Don't you hear that the sages have clouds, worship ghosts and gods and stay away?"
"Well, it's not bad, maybe this Shi Zhiru once served as a general of the Qi State, and I don't know."
The green-shirted girl said, and suddenly raised her right hand, and her slender fingers plucked the strings out of thin air, and the originally obscure and chaotic aura on the stake of the stake parted and became distinct.
Qi Jingzhi, who had already secretly opened his spiritual aperture, was quite amazed in his eyes.
In fact, the "Secret Method of Riding the Clouds" also has a similar effect, but he has not practiced for a long time, and he will never be able to do it so meticulously.
The green-shirted girl recognized it slightly, pointed to a cyan spiritual silk thread tied to the stake and said, "Except for those who have penetrated into Jiaofu, only this breath is the freshest, let's follow the vine and touch the melon, and we will naturally find that fool!"
Hearing this, Qi Jingzhi felt that the breath on the silk thread was really the same as that of the short and fat mountain bone man in the green scarf robe, and he couldn't help nodding slightly.
He looked to the other end of the silk thread floating in the air, and it pointed to the southwest, which was the position of the six evils corresponding to the so-called south-facing gate.
Seeing him nodding, the green-shirted girl immediately reached out and grabbed the blue silk thread and pulled it gently.
I saw that the silk thread was suddenly straightened, and then something seemed to be pulled in reverse at the other end, and the ethereal silk thread, which was already endless, broke in an instant.
