Chapter 20: The Return of the Soul (I)

Three days later.

“...... It's a pity that my Qingluan spirit has been wasted in vain!" Lying on the bed, Fan Tongyou said bitterly. He was explaining to the crowd the circumstances of the escape. "That's the young bird I bought from the Tibetan monk and caught it with great difficulty, and I was going to use it on my body after explaining all the doubts about the melting spell...... That's a treasure that is hard to find in the world!"

Everyone nodded. Qingluan, like the phoenix and the dragon, is a holy beast that is extremely difficult to find, and the goal pursued by countless cultivators all their lives has been ruined like this, which is really a pity. But there is no way, although Qingluan is precious, it is needless to say which is more important than human life. What's more, if it can save the owner's life at a critical moment, it can't be said that it was wasted.

"Shi Zuxiao, a dog thief who killed a thousand knives, has been plotting against my spells when he was in Niu Pass, and came to my valley half a year ago, begging me to accept him as an apprentice, and let me scold him and drive him out of the mountain, but he didn't give up, and he couldn't break my exquisite soul lock array, so he didn't dare to go in to find me, so he could only beg and scream outside every day. ”

Later, He sent a letter to him, and he waited for the opportunity. In order to avoid him, I deliberately arranged an illusion in the valley, which was supposed to deceive him, but I don't know why, when I came to Fengxiang Mansion, he actually followed me again, chasing me all the way to Jiangning Mansion. ”

Thinking about how wrongfully he lost this treasure, Fan Tongyou couldn't help but be angry again, and shouted at Old Man He: "Old ghost He! You compensate me Qingluan! It's all caused by your bullshit letters! And that bullshit surnamed Hu, what to save! If you lose your soul, what's the big deal! You take two altars...... No, the three altars...... No! Five altars of 100-year-old Fenjiu will compensate! I will spare you. I'm not done with you!"

"Tsk!" said Old Man He, smacking his lips, "You have a bubble of." I finally endured the rooster crowing and it was almost dawn, but I couldn't resist it and pulled it to the bed again. Who is this relied on? Obviously, you have already reached the ground, and you almost entered the city in one step, but people are forced to release Qingluan, alas, in the end, you still have no ability. ”

"Fart, fart, stink!" Fan Tongyou burst into flames, shouting wow. He's in good condition now, much better than he was three days ago, so it's okay to get angry. "Try it for you! These dog thieves who kill a thousand knives and make a trick lay a trap and wait for me, what can I do? Even the fucking trees have turned into insects, and ants are hiding behind the leaves......" Thinking of the encounter with Jean who fell into the insect array a few days ago, Fan Tongyou still feels incredible. "I've lived a long time, and I've never seen such a nasty and shameless trick! I don't fucking know which turtle king eight sects use such tricks to harm people. ”

"Old ghost, you haven't been out of the mountain for many years, and you don't know about the Rohmans. The Lohmans are designed to use such tricks to deal with simple-minded old things like you. ”

"What kind of dog is that? When I'm healed, I won't kill them to death......

"Come on. Old Man He smiled, "You have already made people die and come back to life." almost lost his old life, and said big things. ”

"Fart! That's what they're plotting against me. ”

"I just don't plot against you, with your two tricks to turn a cat into a dog, and you still want to fight someone? Chunwang! Go to the backyard and bring Xiao Hei here. Let's see if the surname Fan can beat it, and if so, then grind the ......"

"I can see it. You don't obey me. Fan Tongyou said, his eyelids began to beat dangerously. "In the past, there was no winner in those fights, come and come. Let's compare and compare. He narrowed his eyes, seeing that he was going to be right with Old Man He again. At this moment, the door slammed, and Qin Su walked in.

"Senior Fan, are you better?"

Fan Tongyou saw that it was her, snorted, turned his face to the side and ignored it. It was this woman who caused his baby Qingluan to turn into a bird and fly away, and of course he was unhappy when he saw her. Qin Su blushed, and when he saw Old Man He, Ding Hui and a few people were giving him a look, so he said, "I heard that Senior Fan likes to drink......

A word has a fatal allure. The tips of Fan Tongyou's ears shook involuntarily.

“...... I went to buy this bottle of Jade Ice and Fire to honor your old man. Qin Su picked up a brocade letter from behind him, opened the lid, and a small bottle of mutton fat jade pot appeared. The body of the pot is only the size of a fist, the whole body is smooth and white, the neck of the pot is slender, the shape is extremely beautiful, and the mouth of the bottle is sealed with a gold-filled agarwood soft stopper, which has seen its preciousness from the appearance alone.

"This is a tribute made by Siamese craftsmen in the Tang Dynasty, specially paid tribute to the imperial palace, and it has been hidden for hundreds of years, and it took me a lot of effort to buy it. This bottle of wine was once collected by six families, and they have never been willing to open it. The wine is called Jade Ice and Fire, and I heard that when the entrance is mellow and refreshing, it is like Sanjiu cold ice, and when it enters the intestines, it is spicy and heartburning, like a fire knife......"

Fan Tongyou over there listened to her explain the origin of the wine, and his heart was already itching a little, and he swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva "goo-goo-doo-", and when he heard about the taste of wine, where could he hold back and wait for her to finish speaking, and shouted: "Ah! There is such a good thing?! Take it to me and take a look!

Both hands tightly hugged the box handed over by Qin Su, as if he was afraid of being snatched away. Fan Tongyou carefully stroked the wine bottle, and couldn't help admiring: "Good guy! It's really good! It's really good! Yuzeng wine color, Muyi wine fragrance, this is a deep understanding of wine bottles, and he must be a master." After thinking about it, I scratched my ears and cheeks with joy. "Even the bottle is so beautifully made, this wine must be excellent, wonderful! wonderful! pity! pity!"

A group of serving servants were confused by what they heard, one time it was too good, the other time it was a pity, and they didn't know whether they liked it or not. There are only four old friends who look at each other. This old drunkard must have seen that the wine was extremely beautiful, and he was overjoyed, and he praised it repeatedly. It's just that after all, he can't fill his desires, and he feels that there is too little wine, and he can't wait for a big vat to be given to him.

Gently peel off the gold leaf on the outside and carefully unscrew the stopper.

The rich mellow fragrance filled the inner room in an instant.

Fan Tongyou only sniffed at the mouth of the bottle, and was so happy that his urine flew out. Carefully screw the cork again. "Good, good, good!" he exclaimed. "The old man has drunk countless drinks in his life, but he has never seen such a good wine! Hahaha! Hahaha!

Ding Hui next to him smiled and said, "Miss Qin knows that you like wine, so she specially sent such a gift." Don't you think you should do something?"

"What are you doing?" Fan Tongyou was stunned for a moment and glanced at Qin Su. Suddenly, it dawned on me. "Isn't it just a soul for the surname Hu? No problem. The old man said nonchalantly, where is the slightest bit of unhappiness. "After three or five days, when I recovered from my injuries, I set up an altar for him to rejuvenate his soul and make sure that he would become alive. His eyes were still fixed on the bottle, and he was amazed with joy, and it was evident that his spirit had been seduced by the wine.

Qin Su lowered his head and smiled. But two tears fell to the ground.

"It's time to shape the soul...... What should I do?" He Jiangzhou was like a rhinoceros, staring in a circle in his room anxiously.

Three days have passed, and the next two days will be the day for Hu Buwei's soul. Fan Tongyou has been carefully recuperated, and the poison has been cured. There is nothing that can stop him from opening the altar for Hu Buwei.

Seeing that the day when his rival woke up was approaching day by day, He Jiangzhou was anxious to burn his eyebrows, he had the heart to obstruct the opening of the altar, but he couldn't find a reason. "Damn! Damn!" He Jiangzhou scolded, and a nameless anger in his heart rushed to the top door, burning him all over.

It's really unfavorable for the passing years, and everything is unsatisfactory.

In the past few days, seeing Qin Su's affectionate appearance, his heart has long been full of bad feelings, and the He Mansion is up and down. The miscellaneous old mother, without taking into account his feelings about the young master He, was busy opening the altar the day after tomorrow, which made him look sour. These three days. It was really the most depressing day in He Jiangzhou's life. He had a great deal of anger in his heart, and he didn't know who to vent to, and he hated everyone. The servant maid, Qin Su, Fan Tongyou, Ding Hui, and even his father, Old Man He, these people have become enemies at this moment. It seems that everyone has a heart to get along with him.

As for it, Hu Buwei. This love rival who got Qin Suqing's eyes, the victim who was sincerely served by all the stars and the moon, he only felt two words: hate! hatred from the bones. There was no day when he didn't want to go forward in person, pinching Hu Buwei's pale and weak neck, and strangling him over and over again.

"Dare to rob my wife with me!" he thought angrily: "How did this stupid stick get Miss Qin's heart?" He is old and ugly...... is still a widower with children!Compared with me, it is a world of difference, Miss Qin's fairy-like character, he is also worthy of it!" Thinking of Qin Su, he couldn't help but feel annoyed in his heart: "Alas...... Alas, Miss Qin, open your eyes and look at He Gongzi in the wind in Yushu! Don't pick the good and elegant young man in front of you, but like such a lower riba person...... Didn't you pick up sesame seeds and refuse to change them for watermelon?"

After complaining about Qin Su, he began to be dissatisfied with his father again. "Daddy is really, what are you doing so enthusiastically, helping outsiders Zhang Luo, isn't this a heart to let my son not be able to marry a daughter-in-law? I can't marry a daughter-in-law, and there will be no one in the He family to inherit the family in the future, don't blame me!"

"Bang!" Thinking of the annoyance, he kicked over the brocade pier around the table. The skeleton rolled to the door, and was lifted by the threshold, and actually stood up again. "The surname is Hu! Are you still not convinced?!" He Jiangzhou raised his eyebrows angrily, and his eyes had already regarded this fallen dun who still refused to obey as the embodiment of Hu Buwei, and strode forward, about to step on a few feet to vent his grievances.

Qin Su's voice came from outside the door: "Gongzi He, are you there?"

Qin Su seemed to be in a good mood, and his voice seemed to be happy.

He Jiangzhou thought with jealousy: "That old fool is about to wake up, so you are happy to be like this." In a fit of rage, he refused to answer.

"Gongzi He, are you in the room?" Qin Su knocked on the pane gently.

"Gongzi He?"

Hearing Qin Su scream a few times, He Jiangzhou couldn't hold back, eased his mood, slowly opened the door, and deliberately said with a straight face: "You call me He Gongzi, I won't agree." Until now, you still treat me as an outsider, and you don't even want to call the word 'Jiangzhou'. ”

"So you're here!" Qin Su smiled, "I don't treat you as an outsider, I'm just ...... Not used to being called that. Her brows and eyes were filled with happiness.

"I know you're still blaming me for what happened last time. He Jiangzhou pretended to be resentful and said, "Blame me for not informing you in advance, so I told your master." ”

"No, really not, how can I blame you for your kindness. ”

"I don't believe it. He Jiangzhou shook his head, and the frustration on his face was as good as the real one. "I will not believe you until you will call me by my name. ”

"Jiang ...... Jiang ...... "Qin Su called the word 'Jiang' twice, but he still couldn't call it out." "He Gongzi!" she blushed slightly and stomped her foot.

I saw a touch of flying red sweeping on Qin Su's greasy pink neck. Climbing up to the earlobe, He Jiangzhou's heartbeat accelerated again. Rapid backflow of blood. When the heart shakes, it is almost difficult to restrain itself. The person who thought of the thought of the Nian Zi was standing in front of him. There was no room for anything else in his head, and all his previous complaints were thrown to Java in an instant.

"I want to buy a new set of clothes for Brother Hu...... I want you to accompany ......" Qin Su changed the topic, wanting to bypass this embarrassing name.

He Jiangzhou snorted, retreated into the room, and made a gesture to close the door. "Gongzi He is not at home, Jiang Zhou is down. ”

"Hey-don't!" Qin Su hurriedly stretched out his hand to support the door panel, "Jiang ...... River...... Continent...... Will you go buy it with me?" The voice was as thin as a gnat, and when he finished saying the word 'continent', his face was already ashamed into a large red cloth. The long eyelashes were lowered, and he didn't dare to look at He Jiangzhou again.

He Jiangzhou's eyes straightened, and he became stupid again.

The bell of love, the falling flowers turn with the water, sighing, this is also a helpless thing.

At this moment, his eyes were full, and he only had Qin Su's embarrassed and shy attitude in his heart. The whole person seems to be soaked in the wine vat, warm and happy. Drunk and resurrected, it seemed that the flesh and blood were hollowed out in an instant, and the whole person became an empty shell, and he couldn't hear his sound. I couldn't smell his incense, and the wooden door in his hand seemed to penetrate his palm. Lying in the smoke, there was no other perception in his whole body. Only a pair of eyes can still see this beautiful jade figure.

A smile captivates the city, and then a smile captivates the country. When the beauty is shy and lowers her eyes. Even the sky fell.

"She blushed for me......" For a while, this thought was like Huang Zhongjulu, roaring over and over again, shaking his soul. It made him almost cry. If he is He Jiangzhou, he can be ashamed of the beauty every day, and he is willing to live for 60 years!

"Gongzi He, what's wrong with you, accompany me to buy clothes, okay?" Seeing He Jiangzhou like a wood carving, staring at him, Qin Su was a little overwhelmed. He Jiangzhou's current situation is quite similar to Brother Hu, could it be that he suddenly lost his soul?" "Gongzi He?" Qin Su asked again tentatively, with a straight look in his eyes...... It's a little scary......

It wasn't until Qin Su called out for the fourth time that the depressed Grand Prince He finally picked up his soul, "Let's go, what clothes do you want to buy?" he closed the door panel and said, feeling that his throat was still dry. One heart turned into hundreds, beating wildly in the chest.

"Brother Hu is about to wake up, I want him to forget the past, live a new life, and buy him new clothes...... What happened to you just now? You didn't speak, which scared me. ”

"Nothing...... Something suddenly came to mind. He Jiangzhou smiled reluctantly, suppressing the cry that had already surged to his throat: "I like you!

The two disguised themselves and snuck out of the backyard. Go to the ready-to-wear shop half a mile outside Hejiazhuang to choose a robe.

"The golden-purple ones are beautiful. Qin Su said, "Brother Hu has white skin and looks rich when he wears it." She compared the robe to He Jiangzhou, He Jiangzhou quickly twisted the folding fan, smiled, straightened his chest, and tried his best to be gentle.

"You're too fat. Qin Su furrowed his eyebrows, and He Jiangzhou's smiling face immediately became stiff.

"It's not as thin as Brother Hu. ”

Hearing this, the playboy still had no reason not to be in the way, and took advantage of Qin Su's time to turn around and look for clothes again, put away his smile, and stared at the lantern in a serious way. I thought to myself, "It's time to be brilliant now, right?"

"Gongzi He, have you lost something?"

"No?" He Jiangzhou asked strangely.

"Then why are you keeping your eyes open so wide, I thought you were looking for something. ”

“......”

It took more than an hour, the two picked out six sets of clothes, and hurriedly returned to the village.

"Thank you, Mr. He. ”

"It's called Jiangzhou!" He Jiangzhou said with a straight face.

"Good...... Thank you, Jiang ...... Jiang Zhou Gongzi. Qin Su smiled and lowered his eyebrows, and ran into the room shyly. Leaving a dumb chicken in the corridor sad and happy, heaven and man fighting.

In the evening, after dinner, Fan Tongyou came out with a wine urn to inspect the situation of setting up the altar, followed by Old Man He, Ding Hui and others.

"Two, four, six...... Sixteen, eighteen, well, eighteen bamboo stakes, laid out as a barrier fence, this is not bad. He counted the eighteen green bamboo stakes set up in front of the door of the wing room and said with satisfaction. Eighteen piles are uneven in pairs, forming a semicircle at the door of the wing room that has been temporarily set up as a dharma room. Charms were carved into the stakes, twisting like small snakes.

"This is the first barrier to prevent lonely ghosts from running in, and if it is broken, it will allow the ghosts to take advantage of it. ”

Stepping through the door, two large butter candles were lit high, illuminating the room. All the openingable crevices of the doors and windows are covered with charms.

The floor was littered with white diskettes. Each one is a few feet apart, empty and short, and occasionally open, forming a huge square array. Countless symbols were written on the ground, and the plates were already filled with fuel.

"The three hundred and sixty life-keeping lamps, arranged according to the eight gates of life, death, wounded, and scenery, are our innermost barriers, impregnable and unbreakable. When I do it, there will be a place of yin in the middle, so that the spirit may be lively. He pointed to the four futons in the center of the formation. In the middle of the room was a small open space, and a large water tank stood out from the middle, surrounded by four futons. "When shaping souls, I am most afraid of the invasion of wild souls, and I am afraid of the death and escape of the newly formed living souls. So it's crucial here. ”

Fan Tongyou leaned down and carefully checked whether the paths in the formation, the dead path, and the pseudo path were all free of mistakes and omissions. "This is the Nine Palace Bagua Soul Locking Array that evolved according to Zhuge Legacy. Do you know why I don't want sesame oil and use sunflower oil?" he asked Ding Hui triumphantly. The four old men shook their heads.
