Volume 1 The Adventures of a Young Man Chapter 11 The Strange Skills of the "Five Uniques".
Perhaps because they felt that Xiao Jing was too unreliable, the other four people of the "Five Absolute Freedoms" talked and compared, and Shen Qi finally understood their plans.
To put it simply, the five of them came to this cold and freezing Bailuya because of an accident, and the five of them could not return to their hometown for unknown reasons, so they wanted to "settle down" in Wanlingtian. And the customs of the five people's hometowns are very different from what Shen Qi knows, and they don't even know the term "Ten Thousand Souls" at all, so it is simply impossible to settle down here.
So the five of them wanted Shen Qi to tell them how to go to a populated village or town, after all, in the vast Bailuya except for the wind and snow, no one would be willing to settle here.
When he heard this, Shen Qi wanted to reply: Yingxue Mountain Villa is in Bailuya! But after thinking about it, it didn't seem to be a wise choice to bring these people of unknown origin back to Yingxue Mountain Villa, so Shen Qi dispelled this idea.
And the five of them didn't ask about Yingxue Villa very interestingly, and Shen Qi couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
If you go to a town or village where the population is concentrated, on the one hand, the five of you can earn two silver taels to live, and on the other hand, you can also inquire if there is a way to return to your hometown.
And what Xiao Jing said before was to help Shen Qi track down the murderer, but he also wanted to get some silver taels for this.
Hearing this, Shen Qi couldn't help but look gloomy and said, "I'...... I didn't ...... Over the White Deer Age. ”
When the five of them heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other speechlessly.
After a long while, Shen Qi suddenly slapped his thigh and said excitedly, "Yes...... There is a way...... It's legal!"
The five of them immediately came to their senses and hurriedly asked.
Shen Qi took out the "Herb Record" from the package and said with a smile: "Dig ...... Dig up herbs...... Sell for money!"
The five of them looked at each other, a little unclear.
Shen Qi raised the "Herb Record" in his hand and said, "Here...... Recording herb ...... Medicine...... Herbs are worth a fortune!"
Daoist Xiaojing's expression lit up and said, "Can you lend me a look?"
"Good...... Good. Shen Qi hurriedly handed over the "Herb Record".
Xiao Jing opened the "Herb Record", and the other four people also surrounded him.
"It seems...... Feasible!" Xu Ji, a feng shui master with an indifferent expression, was the first to speak.
"I think there's a headset. Luo III's hoarse voice sounded almost simultaneously.
The two glanced at each other, rarely disliking each other.
"What do you think?" Xiao Jing turned his head and asked the little monk and Ye He Fu Master Jing Zhen.
The two nodded.
"Where are these herbs?" Xiao Jing turned his head and asked Shen Qi.
"That's it...... Right here!" Shen Qi pointed to the endless mountains of the Northern Regions behind him.
The five of them looked at each other with a look of surprise.
"There are actually medicinal herbs in the vast snow-capped mountains?" Xiao Jing couldn't help frowning: "This place shouldn't be suitable for plants to survive." ”
"Look at this Shen Shizhu, he is not a good liar. He Ye whispered a Buddha name.
Several people couldn't help but look at Xiangshi Luo III.
Luo III stared at Shen Qi's face for a long time, frowned, and shook his head again.
The remaining four people saw Luo III's performance and thought that he thought it was inappropriate to dig herbs.
"He's credible!" Feng Shui master Xu Ji was the first to speak.
"Lao Xu and the little monk are right, this matter is feasible. Even for the five of us, the trip was quite rewarding. Luo III nodded.
"Then why are you frowning and shaking your head?" Xiao Jing couldn't help but ask.
Luo III looked at Shen Qi again and did not speak.
Xiao Jing seemed to understand, and hurriedly said to Shen Qi: "Brother Shen, hurry! ”
"Ah...... Ahh......h Ask for a ...... Melon?" Shen Qi touched his head, completely unaware of what Xiao Jing was talking about.
Xiao Jing was also stunned, and immediately explained: "Just let Lao Luo give you a fortune divination." ”
Shen Qi was even more confused, and said secretly in his heart: Buxiang sour melon? What is that? Is it for food? Looking at Xiaojing's meaning, it seems that I am begging this Luo III to do something. Although I only met them for the first time, I somehow felt close, and they ...... Probably not a bad guy. I'll believe them once.
As soon as the thought was established, Shen Qi arched his hand at Luo III and said, "Please...... Brother Luo, please...... Help me...... Forehead ......"
"Divination. Xiaojing reminded.
“...... Buxiang ...... Sour...... Sour melon!" Shen Qi said with a blushing face.
The other people frowned slightly, always feeling that there seemed to be something wrong with what Shen Qi said. But after thinking about it, maybe it was his accent, I didn't think much about it.
Luo III coughed, nodded, and said, "In this case, I will give you a hexagram." You do a few things with me. ”
With that, Luo III stretched out his hands and made seven movements.
Although Shen Qi didn't know the doorway here, he always felt that these people didn't look like they were trying to harm him, and they were just doing a few actions, not doing anything harmful. Therefore, Shen Qi watched intently as Luo III made movements.
These seven actions are not very difficult, and normal people will do them when they look at both sides.
But Shen Qi tried several times in a row and didn't get it right.
It wasn't until Luo III was a little impatient that Shen Qi finally learned these seven movements.
After watching Shen Qi successfully complete his movements, Luo Sanshi's eyes narrowed slightly, as if he was thinking about something, pinching his fingers and frowning.
After about a dozen breaths, Luo San exhaled and said slowly: "Brother Shen's numerology is the most complicated one I have ever seen. Not only the Heavenly Soul ......"
Luo San was about to start explaining, but when he saw Shen Qi's stunned look, he couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "That's it, it's too professional, Brother Shen is afraid that he won't understand, so I'll just say it simply." ”
Luo III organized the language and said, "To put it simply, Brother Shen has two problems now. One is that he was born without a soul, which caused him to react slower than others and stutter in speech. I'm sure you've all 'learned' it. ”
The other four looked at each other and smiled, but then the smile faded, and each had a hint of sympathy on their faces.
Shen Qi also nodded as if he didn't understand, and vaguely guessed that Luo San knew the reason why he was slow to learn things and stuttered. However, Shen Qi has no concept of what "spirit" is.
"It's almost impossible to get to the root of the problem. Luo III's expression also had a hint of sympathy.
Looking at the expressions of the five people, Shen Qi didn't know why, but he didn't speak.
"The second point is that from the perspective of numerology, Brother Shen will face a catastrophe in the near future. Luo III said: "This calamity is unavoidable, and it must be answered." ”
"Can you determine the time?" Xiao Jing couldn't help but ask.
"Within two days!"
Everyone couldn't help but gasp.
Luo III was silent for a while, and then continued: "However, a few of you also know that divination is very accurate for the past, but it may not be accurate for predicting the future. Therefore, this catastrophe may not be and may not be......" In the end, Luo III's voice was almost inaudible, and it seemed that even he didn't believe it very much.
"You don't have to say what Lao Luo said. Xiao Jing raised his eyebrows and said, "You may be able to deceive Brother Shen by saying this, but we don't believe it." ”
Luo III nodded, and said in his unique hoarse voice: "I said a lot, I'm afraid Brother Shen didn't understand it at all." ”
Shen Qi couldn't help but nodded awkwardly.
"To put it simply, within two days, Brother Shen, you will encounter a very bad thing. Xiao Jing patiently explained.
"Oh. Shen Qi nodded as if he understood whether he understood or not, obviously still not understanding what Luo San meant.
The five of them couldn't help but look at each other speechlessly.
"That's it, Brother Shen. Xiao Jing said: "The five of us will go up to the snow mountain with you to pick herbs, and give you a good explanation on the way, can you see it?"
Shen Qi thought for a while, and finally understood that the five of them agreed to his proposal, so he nodded and said, "Okay." ”
"In that case, let's check the body of the brother in the house and see if we can find some clues. Then let him be buried in the ground, after all, it is too unlucky to keep guarding the corpse!"
"Oh, yes...... That's right!" Shen Qi came back to his senses at this time, and there was a corpse of a villa disciple in the house!
Shen Qidang entered the stone house, and the five people immediately followed.
After entering the stone house, Xiao Jing looked around, and then made a few movements that Shen Qi didn't understand at all.
"There is no yin in the house. Xiao Jing faced the other four.
"There is no corpse gas. Feng Shui master Xu Jidao.
"There's no demonic spirit either. The little monk and Ye said.
Shen Qi looked at the appearance of the five people, and felt that they were investigating something, but what did what they meant? Shen Qi scratched his head, puzzled.
"Either you are killed or you are ......," Luo III said.
After several people finished speaking, they all looked at the corpse that was already showing signs of decomposition.
Jing Zhen crouched down and examined the corpse carefully.
The rest of the people seemed to be waiting for the results of the jingji, and did not continue to examine the body.
This scene reminded Shen Qi of all the previous things, such as when Xiao Jing was speaking, others basically didn't interject. When Luo III was divining and divination, others were also waiting patiently.
It seems that these five people really have their own strengths and trust each other.
Shen Qi couldn't help but feel a little envious.
After about half a pillar of incense, Jing Zhen got up.
Everyone couldn't help but look at her.
Jing Zhen smiled slightly, nodded to everyone, and shook his head again.
Since Jing Zhen couldn't speak, everyone was a little dazed.
I saw Jing Ji gently wave his hand, asking everyone to wait, and then looked around in the stone house.
When he walked to the stone table in front of the east wall, Jing Ji saw the dusty stone bowl in the corner.
Jing Zhen didn't directly reach for the stone bowl, but leaned down and sniffed the breath around the stone table, and then took out a yellow talisman out of nowhere and gently placed it on the stone bowl.
I saw that as soon as the yellow talisman came into contact with the stone bowl, it quickly turned black.
At first, only the contact area was black, and after a while, the whole talisman turned black.
Seeing this scene, the other four people didn't react, but Shen Qi was taken aback.
Growing up, the first time he saw yellow paper turn into black paper under his nose.
Jing Zhen turned around, the corners of his mouth pursed, and he smiled smartly. Then he stretched out his hand and pointed to the "Herb Record" in Shen Qi's hand.
Shen Qi thought that Jing Zhen wanted the "Herb Record" in his hand, so he hurriedly handed it over.
Without thinking about it, Jing Zhen shook his head, pointed to the "Herb Record", and then pointed to the stone bowl covered with black talismans, and then made a eating motion, and finally stuck out his tongue and grimaced.
Shen Qi scratched his head, only thinking that Jing Zhen's last grimace was extremely cute, but he didn't understand what she meant.
But looking at the expressions of the other people, they obviously all understood.
This made Shen Qi a little depressed.
Xiao Jing nodded and said to Shen Qi: "What Miss Jing Qi means is that this benevolent brother poisoned himself by eating some kind of medicinal herb. ”
Jing Zhen looked at Shen Qi and nodded.
Only then did Shen Qi understand, and he couldn't help scratching his head, secretly saying that he was really stupid. It's such an obvious thing that I don't even understand now.
But at the same time, Shen Qi couldn't help but be a little stunned.
This villa disciple seems to have often come to the mountains of the Northern Regions to pick medicinal herbs, so he should be extremely familiar with medicinal herbs, not to mention that he still has the "Medicinal Herb Record" on his body, no matter how he looks at it, it doesn't look like he will poison himself!
"Brother Shen, except for a few of us in this stone house, there is no trace of anyone else. This means that before this, there was only one benevolent brother in the stone house. Xiao Jing pointed to the corpse of the disciple of the Snow Mountain Villa on the ground.
"And everything in the stone house is normal, quite life-like. It also indirectly ruled out the possibility that this benevolent brother was murdered by others. Xiao Jing continued to explain: "In the end, based on the location of this corpse and the discovery of Miss Jing Zhen, we can conclude that this benevolent brother actually inadvertently ate a herb containing violent poison, resulting in the poison death. This is in line with our previous assumptions. ”
"...... Previous ...... Inference?" Shen Qi was a little dazed.
When did they make an inference?
Suddenly, Shen Qi remembered what a few people had said when they first entered the room, "There is no yin qi" and something like that.
I see!
Only then did Shen Qi understand.
It turns out that this is also an inference!
Shen Qi couldn't help but deeply admire the five of them.
When Shen Qi wasn't paying attention, Xiao Jing made a silent gesture to the others, and the other four also nodded imperceptibly.
It seems that there should be something else hidden in this matter, but Shen Qi doesn't know.
The rest is simple.
After some discussion, the body was carried outside the stone house and buried.
This process is not a matter of a sentence, because the feng shui master Xu Ji used what he called "feng shui" to choose a sheltered location, and then the body was officially buried.
It's just that Shen Qi has already seen the different abilities of several of them, and he is not overly surprised by Xu Ji's arrangement.
