Chapter 3: The Evil Spirit Incident (I)

In the past few days, Yang Xiaowu has been going in and out with Chen Keyi, and the two have nothing to do, often drinking tea and chatting together. In fact, Yang Xiaowu didn't know why, but he felt that he had a very comfortable feeling staying with Chen Keyi, even though the other party was a heavenly master. It is probably because of this that both of them are curious about the identities and ideas of both parties, and they both want to know what their impression is in the eyes of the other party. Since Yang Xiaowu appeared, the sword slave has been going out early and returning late every day, and he doesn't know what he is busy with. Every time Yang Xiaowu talked to him, he always ignored him. Chen Keyi told Yang Xiaowu that the sword slave is like this by nature, just get used to it.

Yang Xiaowu originally thought that Chen Keyi was a Miao ethnic group and would like to drink oil tea. After a few days, I saw Chen Keyi and green tea, and I couldn't help but be curious, so I asked Chen Keyi why she liked to drink green tea. Chen Keyi said that although she grew up in Xiangxi, she is not a Miao person, and she does not like to drink oil tea, she prefers to drink Tieguanyin. Chen Keyi is very interested in the tea ceremony, she said that there is good tea hidden in the mountain, and when she returns to the mountain, she will cook it for Yang Xiaowu to drink. Yang Xiaowu is not very interested in drinking tea, but he is very happy to have the opportunity to taste the tea ceremony in China for thousands of years.

When Yang Xiaowu asked Chen Keyi what to do when he went down the mountain, Chen Keyi told him the original thing. It turned out that Chen Keyi practiced astrology, that is, astrological divination, and would follow the routine divination every day. Inadvertently, she calculated that Xiangxi would appear evil spirits, and she couldn't bear to be smudged, so she took the sword slave down the mountain, intending to pacify the demons. But in the half month since they went down the mountain, the senior sister and brother have been searching around, but they have never found any information about the evil spirit.

Yang Xiaowu asked Chen Keyi if it was possible that the divination was wrong. Chen Keyi told Yang Xiaowu that she had a peculiar constitution since she was a child, and she could sense evil qi, and the stronger the evil qi, the stronger the induction. For example, Yang Xiaowu, Chen Keyi said that she didn't accept him because she didn't sense the evil aura in me.

Yang Xiaowu is very happy, this is probably because he has never eaten fresh human blood for more than a thousand years. It wasn't the first time he had heard of the term evil spirit, but he didn't know what it was. Yang Xiaowu asked Chen Keyi, what does the so-called evil spirit refer to?

Chen Keyi thought for a moment and said, "The evil spirit can be said to be a mutant of the ghost, and like the ghost, it has no physical form, and usually exists in the form of translucent energy. However, evil spirits with very powerful energy can switch between transparent and physical states. Because the evil spirits have a lot of grudges that surpass the average spirit, they possess very terrible destructive energy. Evil spirits can move quickly in any space due to their lack of physical form, so they can easily disappear in front of the eyes of their enemies, which is one of the most terrifying abilities of evil spirits. In addition to their basic stealth attacks, they also fire "karmic arrows" that gather with resentment, which are very dangerous weapons. ”

Yang Xiaowu didn't expect that there were zombies in this world, and there were such evil spirits, so he couldn't help but be curious, and said: "You said that evil spirits will shoot 'karma arrows', so what is the "karma arrows"?"

To put it simply, the "Karma Arrow", also known as the Yin Arrow, is a combination of evil spirits and resentful thoughts. In addition to evil spirits, ordinary rampant ghosts can also be used. If it is an ordinary "karmic arrow", it is not a big problem, but the mind is dizzy and the heart is faintly painful, and it can be cured by drinking a dose of talisman water. Many people suddenly get dizzy and feel a dull pain in their hearts for no reason, because they have invisibly fallen into evil spirits or rampant ghosts. I am most afraid of encountering the kind of evil spirits with strong energy that can be materialized, and the "karmic arrows" they fire can instantly capture people's souls and take people's lives. This kind of "karmic arrow" is not an ordinary talisman that can be dissolved, but requires a profound cultivator to perform exercises and cast spells to drive away resentment, and then supplemented by talismans to summon gods, which is usually called spiritualism. But in the end, whether he can survive or not can only depend on the will of God. ”

"I never thought that this evil spirit could be so powerful!" Yang Xiaowu suddenly had an idea in his heart, and he asked Chen Keyi, "Actually, you have been catching ghosts for so many years, have you ever thought about one day when you will no longer catch ghosts?" or ......?"

"Or one day I'll be killed by a ghost, isn't it?" Chen Keyi smiled lightly and said, "Many people have asked me these questions. But I never thought about this, because I knew that it was useless to think about it! I followed Master since I was a child, and what I learned was to hunt ghosts and exorcise evil spirits, break Gu and drive away corpses, and the art of Qimen Dunjia. What else would I do besides that. Besides, let's die! Whoever doesn't die, why take life and death too seriously. ”

Yang Xiaowu originally thought like this, a woman who has always been as beautiful as Chen Keyi is like a goddess carved in ivory, either gentle and beautiful, or charming. Although this Miss Chen Keyi is more heroic and heroic than ordinary earthly women, she is a cultivator after all, and she finally saw her domineering side.

"Yes. In my opinion, being able to die can also be regarded as a kind of happiness. Like us, we can't die if we want to, that's the pain. Yang Xiaowu looked out the window, his thoughts were full of thoughts, and he remembered a lot of things, "For thousands of years, in history, many great people, even if they were molded into stone statues after death, would finally be weathered and then peeled off. Sometimes, I even feel like I'm not even as good as a stone!"

Chen Keyi looked at Yang Xiaowu, there seemed to be a little more tenderness in her eyes, and said: "There is no meaning in living! But as long as you live, you can do something meaningful and make life fulfilling." Life and death are fate, and you don't have to worry too much. ”

Yang Xiaowu nodded, and was about to speak, when he heard a rush of footsteps, followed by a violent knock on the door, and before Chen Keyi got up to open the door, the door had already been knocked open. Immediately, there were seven or eight people, bustling and crowding in. As soon as they came in, they looked around the room, and when they saw Chen Keyi, they all rushed to her and asked, "Are you Miss Chen Keyi?"

It was not the first time Chen Keyi had seen this kind of formation, and she seemed very calm, she just nodded and said, "I am Chen Keyi." What are you looking for me?"

When these people heard this, they became bustling again, gossiping, but most of them said things like wanting to save people's lives. Yang Xiaowu saw the anxiety on their faces, and guessed that they must have encountered some trouble. It's just that he didn't expect that today, when scientific civilization is so developed, there are still so many people who are superstitious about ghosts and gods, although they do exist.

Chen Keyi waved her hand and said, "Let's be quiet first, if you are so noisy, even if it gets dark, you can't explain it." I think so, one by one. Let's start with what you are looking for. ”

When the man saw Chen Keyi pointing at him, his face suddenly showed joy, and he immediately walked over and said, "Miss Keyi, this is probably the case. My daughter doesn't know what strange illness she has, she doesn't drink water or eat these days, and no matter who advises her, she just ignores it, and she is about to die. Please help us to see if there is any way to finally save her. ”

Chen Keyi listened, thought for a while, and then asked, "Then does she have any special symptoms?"

"It doesn't seem like there's anything left. The man thought for a moment, seemed to remember something, clapped his palms, and said, "Oh, by the way, my daughter has always had some strange smiles on her face from time to time since she got this strange disease. ”

Yang Xiaowu thought that Chen Keyi would say that he was going to see his daughter, at least he should come out to figure it out, but Chen Keyi just asked very calmly: "Is your daughter unmarried, and then did she go up the mountain a few days ago?"

When the man heard Chen Keyi's words, he nodded hurriedly and said, "Well, that's it." Here's the thing, a few days ago, her mother was unwell from the heat, and my daughter went up the mountain to pick some herbs for her. Miss Keyi, you know that people like us don't go to the hospital if they have some minor illnesses and pains. ”

Chen Keyi smiled and said, "Your daughter will die soon, if nothing happens, it will be a matter of these two days." However, you don't have to be sad, your daughter is married to the cave god. Now when you go home, you can prepare for marriage. When the man heard this, he thanked him and went away rejoicing.

Yang Xiaowu has heard this legend. In Xiangxi, some unmarried women in the tribe walked past a hole, glanced at the hole, and then returned home without drinking or eating, and died a few days later, with a smile on their faces. The tribesmen thought that she had gone to marry the cave god, because these girls were not married during their lifetimes, but after the death of people, others went to the funeral, and their families not only did not hold a funeral, but also married them to show the joy of the wedding. As for these girls, they are called Falling Flower Cave Girls.

As for what happened to this Falling Flower Cave Girl, Yang Xiaowu didn't know, and he couldn't think clearly, and he probably didn't know what Keyi was thinking about. In this place of Xiangxi, the magic is full of death, and there are always many evil and incomprehensible legends, so that people are panicked all day long. For example, the next few people, but none of them were a big deal. Chen Keyi simply told them how to do it, or directly gave them a few talismans, saying where to stick them, and then sent them away like this.

The last man, once he entered the room, just kept pacing back and forth in the doorway. I saw him clasping his hands, his face anxious, panting, everyone left, and they were still unknown.

"Excuse me, is there anything I can help you with?" Chen Keyi saw that the man did not react, and asked again, "Excuse me, this gentleman, is there anything I can help you with?"

After a while, the man seemed to wake up from a dream and came back to his senses. He looked around and realized that everyone else was gone. He let out a long sigh and muttered, "It's terrible! Miss Keyi, you really want to save me this time, you must save me." It's horrible......"

Chen Keyi saw that he looked flustered, so she made him a cup of tea and said, "Don't panic, if there is something, talk slowly." If I can help you, I will definitely help. Yang Xiaowu saw that his eyes were blank, his eyes were dull, he looked straight ahead, his mouth opened and closed, but it was terrible to keep chattering, and he didn't know if he heard Chen Keyi's words.

After waiting for a long time, he finally took the tea with trembling hands, and then took a sip of tea. After drinking tea, although I was still nervous, I seemed to be much more relaxed than before, and I spoke much more smoothly. The man said, "This is the way it is. My surname is Zhang, I am from Fenghuang County, Xiangxi, and I support my family by doing some timber business. About half a month ago, I shipped several truckloads of timber to Guangdong. This back and forth, the road is safe. But who would have known that after I came back, strange things would happen frequently! The drivers who drove me died in accidents one after another, and so far four have died, and all of them have died in different ways. Some were walking on the road and suddenly rushed to the middle of the road like crazy, and then they were hit by a car and died, while some were fishing in the river, and they fell into the river for no apparent reason, and then drowned...... In short, if four people die, there are four ways to die, which is really scary. ”

Chen Keyi also felt that things were a little strange, and her expression became serious, and she said, "How many people are there in the car?"

The man put the teacup on the table with trembling hands, and said, "We have a total of three cars, and I have six people with the driver, and there is an accountant who manages the accounts, and is the wife of one of the drivers, seven people in total." Now four have died, and I'm the only one left, along with the driver and the accountant's two in-laws. ”

Ke Yi listened, didn't speak again, just took out the turtle shell, and began to calculate. Yang Xiaowu knew that this kind of turtle shell divination was drilled with a turtle plate, set on fire, and then looked at the direction of the crack up and down, and then the sorcerer noted the oracle bone inscription, which was mainly used to account for national events, weather conditions, war matters, etc. Later, there was "money divination", which is used to match the turtle shell with money hexagrams, but it is mainly used for personal fortune and fortune fortune, fortune divination, etc. Ke Yi used this kind of money divination. I saw Ke Yi shake the turtle shell a few times, then spit out the money hexagram from the turtle shell, and then took out a piece of paper and wrote a few words on it. This was repeated more than a dozen times, about ten minutes, and the calculation was completed.

When Mr. Zhang saw that Ke Yi's calculation was completed, he couldn't bear it anymore and blurted out: "Miss Chen, how is it?"
