Artisans in Tunli

Chapter 44 Break Up
The sky and night are as cool as water, lying down to watch Altair Vega.

Glancing at the sky outside the window, I couldn't see any stars except Venus and the last quarter moon.But being invisible doesn't mean it doesn't exist, just like air.You can't see it, but it's all around us.

So are ghosts.

When we all live in the same space, we will definitely have the opportunity to see them.Either a coincidence in time, or an overlap in space.They are like dark matter, hidden in an unknown corner.

I dissipated the air in my body, put down the pen in my hand, and took a deep breath.Qi refining seems to have reached another level recently, but I just don't know when I will be able to fly with the sword.Although it is a bit exaggerated, which of these things I have experienced are not exaggerated?
I glanced at the time, it was almost five o'clock.Thinking that there is nothing to do today, let's go to bed and sleep for a while, set the alarm clock and turn on the bed.

"Thirteen, Thirteen, wake up, your alarm clock has been ringing for a long time!" As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw Nima looking at me with his bright eyes.

"Hey, I'm startled."

I rubbed my eyes, looked at my phone, and quietly called me at seven o'clock in the morning, and after thinking about it, I called her back.

"Why did you go, you didn't call me these days?" Once connected, there was a lot of complaints.

"I've been busy with work these days, and it's a bit chaotic. By the way, didn't you say you were going to come to Harbin for the competition?" I asked in a daze.

"I'm already here. I called you to pick me up."

"Ah?! Where are you? I'll go there now." I quickly turned over and got out of bed to get dressed.

"I'm already at the hotel, so I don't need to pick it up. I have to train later. If you want to come, come at night." Hearing the sound of "bang bang" from her side, she felt that if she went now, she might have to Pull me to practice.So, let's go tonight.

Jingjing will be staying in Harbin for three days, Zhou Peng booked the ticket the day after tomorrow, so I can see Jingjing's match tomorrow.To be honest, I don't really like these swords and guns. Even as a Taoist priest, I hope that I can use the power of language to influence these demons and ghosts.

Let’s exclude physical fitness first, how can we do it now in this society.But having said that, as a Taoist disciple now, I can't justify my tricks.

After coming back from the cafeteria, I quickly searched for some knowledge about Sanda on the Internet, so that I could use it to praise Jing Jing.Just after eating two mouthfuls, the phone rang.

"Well? If you have a girlfriend, forget your old friends?" A vicissitudes and hoarse voice came from the phone, and it was Jiang Shan.

"I've been too busy recently, internship or something. How about you? How are you doing?" Since I came back from Jiang Shan's house last time, I dare not talk to her.

"It's nothing. My mother asked me to ask you out. It seems that I have something to tell you. I wonder if you have a schedule tonight?"

Hearing her joking tone, I really wanted to go over and hear what Jiang Nianqing had to say, so I said, "Don't flatter me like that. I may go to accompany my girlfriend at night, but I still have time in the afternoon."

"Oh, let's talk about it later, it's not a big deal. Well, that's it."

"beep"

Originally, I wanted to ask about my uncle, I don't need to accompany Jing Jing, but she hung up the phone directly.Forget it, let time first, to ease these embarrassments.

Quietly, the sponsor of their team, who also knew who they were, arranged for them to stay at the Binjiang Hotel.After entering the quiet room, I found that although it was not as luxurious as Liu Chunling's last time, it was considered a petty bourgeoisie.

"I'm going to take a shower, you can wait here first." After finishing speaking, Jing Jing kissed me on the mouth, and looked at me with ulterior motives.

There was the sound of "哗哗啦啦啦" water coming from the bathroom. In order to divert my attention, I thought I had to distract myself. I have guarded myself like a jade for so many years, so I can't just be confused like this.

"Your school's sponsorship is good, isn't it? Give you such a luxurious hotel? One room per person?"

"What? Didn't hear clearly." The sound of water in the bathroom stopped.

"It's nothing, I just said that your school's sponsorship is pretty good."

After quieting down, I became even more awkward, so I reached out and turned on the TV.In the TV show "Animal World", the magnetic voice is explaining to the audience in front of the TV why animals have to reproduce in spring.

I picked up the remote control and pressed it for a long time, but there was no response.Cursing such a high-end hotel secretly, isn't the remote control equipped with batteries?Besides, it's autumn, why do you want to show the animal world in spring?

"Oh, I don't know. I heard that it was invested by a wealthy real estate developer. The treatment of the men's team is much worse. Two people share a room."

I, who was still studying the remote control, didn't know when Jingjing came out, and stood in front of me naked.

"Uh this"

"Am I beautiful?" I saw Jing Jing's eyes filled with autumn water, looking at me with affection.My little heart started beating wildly, and I simply turned my head aside.But in my mind, I can't forget this exciting picture.

She came over, straddled my lap, and straightened my head with her hands.

"Look at it, isn't it beautiful?" she said.

I don't know if my body betrayed me, she laughed.

"Forget it, don't tease you, I'll go get dressed, you can wait." After speaking, she stood up and walked towards her big backpack.

It would be hypocritical to say I don't want those erotic scenes.When I saw her without clothes, I just felt white and a little dizzy.Maybe I've been too busy studying ghosts to study the art of the human body.

"Since you don't want to, then you can save it until after you get married. But, I have to tell you first, it's not the first time for me." Although I felt a little inexplicable heartache when I heard her say this, I still thank her honesty.

"It's okay, I don't care about these, let's save it until after marriage." That's what I said, but I didn't think so far.

"Okay! Don't talk about it, I've been training all afternoon, and I haven't eaten yet." She put my arm around her and asked me where there is good food in Harbin.I thought about it, and it seems that except for "Jiangnan BBQ City", I haven't eaten out much.One is that it is too expensive, and the other is that I am lazy.

Taking Jing Jing to the barbecue city, he found that Zhou Peng was also there, so he decided to fight for the table.Zhou Peng went out to eat with their judo club, but after calling for a long time, no one came, but a little fat guy who was not much thinner than him came.

I looked at Zhou Peng dejectedly, and said, "I didn't mean Zhou Peng, you're not good at judo, and you're not very popular."

"Don't bury me. I signed up for the judo club, but I've only been there a few times, and I'm not familiar with it. I wanted to invite the beauties from the club, but she said I would come if I could beat her, but it turned out."

"It turns out you didn't fall, did you?"

"Oh, don't mention it, I didn't know that she looked very thin, so energetic. I originally called a few younger sisters, but when I was thrown upside down, they didn't come. Don't say it , drink." After finishing speaking, he drank the yellow soup in the cup.

Jingjing has a competition tomorrow, so she can't drink alcohol, so she uses water instead.It doesn't matter to me, anyway, tomorrow is Sunday, so it's good to relax, if it doesn't work, I'll just comfort Zhou Peng.

Lying in bed at night, hugging Jingjing who was already sleeping soundly, her white body was all in my mind, and I couldn't fall asleep no matter what.

"Quiet?" I whispered in her ear to test if she was asleep, but she didn't even respond to calling a few times.Maybe it's because of the intense training during the day, so I'm tired.

I originally planned to do some obscene gestures, but when I saw her face, I thought of Sun Jing.

Touching her ears, I felt uncomfortable for a while.I know that I don't love her, maybe it's because of my desire to protect; maybe it's because there's static in her name; or it's just because I'm flattered by her gentleness.

Just thinking about it, I actually shed tears.

I kissed her on the mouth and said: "I'm sorry", then I lifted the quilt lightly and walked slowly towards the door.

"Tomorrow, you don't have to come and see me."

From the very beginning, I knew she was definitely not asleep.Without looking back, I gently opened the door and walked out.

I'm not trying to run away, I just don't want to hurt her.

This relationship is over.This time I was very calm, and I was glad that I left her early and didn't take advantage of her.But I am indeed a scumbag, a complete scumbag.Those who say that short-term pain is worse than long-term pain are also scumbags.

The autumn wind blew across the Songhua River and blew on my face, as if deliberately reminding me that I had hurt someone else.Pain in my chest made it hard for me to breathe.

I spent the whole night in Zhang Feng's store, and when I got up, I felt dry mouth and splitting headache, so I took a can of Coke from the refrigerator and drank it.

Since I'm not going to watch Jing Jing's game today, let's just watch the store here.After closing the door for so long, the room was already covered in a layer of dust.I took the feather duster and started to clean it simply.When I opened the cash box, my eyes stopped on a small red leather notebook inside.

Xin said, it might be the ledger, but does this small business still need to keep the ledger?I opened the book a little confused, and the content on the first page attracted me.

It was sunny on September 9th, and today Lingling hurried out with my copper coin sword and a few useless talismans. This girl has a really big heart.No way, I had no choice but to follow up.

It turned out to be the ghost of the stalker that was reported in the news before. Although it wasn't very fierce, Lingling couldn't deal with it either.But I found that there was another boy with her, and this boy looked quite energetic.It's just that his understanding is a bit weak, and I found that he seems to have a special perception ability.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Lingling to be raped, and it seemed that I was going to do it.

After writing here, there is no follow-up.It turns out that this is Zhang Feng's diary. Does this count as an invasion of personal privacy?After thinking about it, they are all family members, so there is no privacy.

I flicked backwards by accident, hoping to see more words of praise from my senior brother.

On December 12, it was windy.Today, I called the master. When Thirteen was mentioned, the master was silent for a long time, but decided to let me test him out.

Liu Jianguo hasn't woken up yet, and it won't be long before I have to go to the Yin with Shisan.I was a little apprehensive. After all, he hadn't experienced this before, so I didn't know if he could accept it.

After looking through it again, I found that Zhang Feng was not a diary, and only wrote about two or three days.Suddenly, on the last few pages, this sentence was written:
Time may be running out, although the master won't let me go by myself, I have to give it a try, what if it works?
A simple sentence, in my opinion, is not simple.Although I don't know what happened, judging from the level of scribbled words, Zhang Feng may have thought of something, or saw something, and suddenly wrote these things on these pages.

I took out my mobile phone and wanted to call Zhang Feng to ask what was going on, but when I thought about it, I saw it in his diary, so just calling to ask, wouldn't that mean exposing my shameless behavior?

After thinking about it, I still dialed.

"Hello, what's the matter, junior brother?" Zhang Feng quickly answered the phone.

"It's nothing, I just want to ask how your side is doing, by the way, how is the master's side?" I asked.

"My side is okay, master. Master's side is also okay, don't worry, you can take the time to look at the shop for me!" After saying a few words, he hung up.

He stuttered when he mentioned the master, it seems that something happened to the master.

I tried to call his old man, but no one answered after several calls.At this time, a person came in from the outer door.I saw that it was none other than Jiang Shan's mother, Jiang Nianqing.

"So it's here?" After speaking, Jiang Nianqing sat down on the chair and lit a cigarette.

Today she is wearing a red coat, the kind that goes down to the knees.I wore a pair of black leather boots underneath. The combination of red and black is my favorite two colors.

"Let's smoke." After she finished speaking, she took a deep breath.I thought to myself, you have already smoked it, how can I have the nerve to let you pinch it.

"How does Auntie know I'm here?" I think it might be Jiang Shan who said it, and I asked this just to ease the atmosphere.

Jiang Nianqing took a puff of cigarette and said, "Jiang Shan's father has it all figured out. If you refine your Qi, I can find you myself." After she finished speaking, she looked at me meaningfully.

"I don't know how uncle can do divination, ha ha." I echoed awkwardly.Then he changed the subject and said, "Jiang Shan told me that you have something to do with me, but what is it?"

She smoked quickly, and after pinching out the cigarette end, she said slowly: "It's nothing serious, I just want to ask if you want to enter the ink?"

"Obsession? I still want to follow the right path." After I finished speaking, I wiped the sweat from my brow, and kept my eyes on the second cigarette in her hand.

"Being in ink is not enchanting. To put it bluntly, it is tattooing and tattooing."

Hearing her explanation like this, I was relieved, and my feelings were out of my way.I shook my head, thinking in my mind that Jiang Shan didn't even have a piece of good skin on her body, this mother's heart is really big.

She sighed and said, "I won't charge you any money. If Jiang Shan didn't ask me to tattoo you, I wouldn't bother to come to you. Usually, many people beg me to do tattoos for you, but I turned them down." I looked at her His face was not very good-looking, and he didn't dare to answer her words.

After a long time, I watched her light another cigarette and said, "Auntie, how long have you been in this business?"

"I work in a traditional Chinese medicine hospital. I usually have nothing to do when I have nothing to do, so I just study these things."

"Oh, I heard from Jiang Shan that these tattoos are not ordinary tattoos, they seem to have magical powers." I wondered.

She nodded and said: "Yes, in itself, my tattoo method was first spread in the shamanism of the tribal period. Shaman priests would tattoo themselves with mana patterns to fight against evil. Although it is not useful Big, but talk is better than nothing.”

After finishing speaking, she stood up, threw the cigarette butt on the ground, crushed it with her shoe and said, "If you have thought about what to get tattooed, just call her in advance."

"Okay, I'll contact you when I think about it, you go slowly", I sent her out like a dog leg.

"Don't give it away. I see that you haven't looked very good lately. There may be disaster. Please be careful."

After listening to her, I looked up at her, as if in her deep eyes, I saw two extra dark pupils, located on the two eyes respectively.The moment my eyes met hers, I felt the hairs all over my body stand upside down.

I hurriedly rubbed my eyes and looked again, but she was already gone.I don't know if it's my eyesight or reflection, I shook my heavy head, intending to put aside the messy thoughts in my mind, turned around and prepared to enter the room.Jiang Nianqing behind him said something at this moment.

"You don't have dizziness, I have four pupils." After speaking, he got into the car, stepped on the accelerator, and disappeared at the end of the street.

I don't know why Jiang Nianqing told me this, and through her eyes, I feel as if I have been seen through.The thoughts in my head can be guessed, which doesn't feel comfortable at all.

According to legend, in the Song Dynasty of China, there was a man named Huang Chang who had four eyes.Although he is not a Taoist, he worships Taoism very much.It is also said that after he successfully crossed the tribulation, he ascended to become a god.

I don't think so, because the history of the Song Dynasty is very chaotic, and it is impossible to distinguish the true from the false.However, the Song Dynasty was also a period of prosperity for Taoism, and there were many folk legends of ghosts and ghosts.

The famous Bao Qingtian Bao Zheng was a personage in the Northern Song Dynasty, and it is said that he was also able to settle cases in the dark.
