My hexagram is perfect

Coming out of the clubhouse, it was drizzling.It was already past twelve o'clock, and there was no one on the street, and the dim streetlights were a bit hazy even with neon signs.

Xuan Ge went to cycle, and Lu Yao stood under the street lamp and waited.He stepped on the gap between the floor tiles a little bored. At this moment, a dead branch suddenly fell from the street tree, making a "click" sound.

Lu Yao stopped and habitually used "Guan Mei Shu" to form a hexagram.

"The dead branches fall in Duiwei (west), and the dry wood belongs to Li... Get the Huo Ze Kui hexagram..." Just when he thought the hexagram image would be blurred again, he suddenly found that the hexagram image was clearly displayed—the hexagram plate was nearby ?

After a pause, Lu Yao couldn't breathe, and almost choked.The next second, he quickly closed his eyes, but he was still disappointed - he still had no sense at all.If the hexagram plate is really nearby, then he who signed the blood contract will definitely sense it.

He figured it out, and for the past year, except for the last time he did the marriage calculation for free, his heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and he sensed that the dial was in danger, he doubted whether he was really abandoned.

Could it be that the blood contract induction was unilaterally cut off by Guapan?

Momentarily depressed, he leaned against the lamppost, staring at the rain under the light in a daze.Not long after, the familiar roar approached, and the orange headlights flickered.Lu Yao squinted his eyes and took a step forward, just in time for the locomotive to stop in front of him.

After receiving the helmet that Xuan Ge handed over, Lu Yao unconsciously bent the corners of his mouth, and was about to step into the car, but saw Xuan Ge neatly took off his short coat and wrapped it directly around himself, the remaining body temperature felt like burning. Lu Yao didn't react to the human illusion.

"What are you thinking? Come up." Seeing that Lu Yao was still standing still and looking at him, concentrating, he looked like a porcelain doll under the street lamp, Xuan Ge was a little funny, "It's raining, dress, don't catch a cold again. "

"But you—" Lu Yao saw that Xuan Ge only had a black racerback vest left on his body, his arms were all exposed, and his throat was a bit astringent.

"Huh?" Xuan Ge interrupted him, patted the leather cushion on the back seat, "Not coming up?" He obviously didn't intend to continue talking about this topic.

Putting his hands into his sleeves and putting on his coat, Lu Yao sat on the back seat, wrapped his arms around Xuan Ge's waist habitually, and whispered "Thank you." It's just that the engine sound was deafening when he spoke, and he didn't know what happened to Xuan Ge. Did you hear me?

It was past one o'clock in the morning when we got home, and it was raining a bit later, so Lu Yao directly pushed Xuan Ge into the bathroom and asked him to take a shower first.

After closing the window, Lu Yao was a little uneasy, and took a coin to do a fortune-telling, and the fortune-telling became blurred again.Realizing that he was relieved, Lu Yao lowered his eyes and subconsciously squeezed the coin in his hand.

Staying here has obviously exceeded the expected time. Although there is a reason to protect Xuan Ge, he knows very well in his heart that he is just reluctant to part with this warmth and sense of security that he has never felt before, and he does not want to leave.Even, he couldn't help yearning for every approach and every contact with Xuan Ge——

Lu Yao, you can't do this.

Why not?

Xuan Ge washed quickly and came out of the bathroom in a few minutes. He took a light-colored towel to wipe his hair, "Cat, I'll go to the kitchen and make you something to eat."

"Okay," Lu Yao replied, got up and went into the bathroom, always a little absent-minded.He took the shower for a while before showering himself, but he was shivering from the cold, so he quickly took it away—only then did he realize that the hot water hadn't worked for so long.

Tried again, the water was still cold.

After hesitating for a while, Lu Yao wrapped the towel around his waist and opened the door.

Xuan Ge was in the kitchen, Lu Yao glanced at it, and went directly to the small balcony.The wind was quite cold, and as soon as it blew over, goose bumps rose up, and people tensed up.

The water heater is very old, with rust spots on it, and it feels like it will be scrapped if you are not careful.Lu Yao looked up for a while, and found that a small switch below had tripped.He reached out his hand to press it, but he didn't expect that he was a little taller, and he didn't touch it with his feet.

"..." Resentment from 1.7 meters nine.

This is what Xuan Ge saw when he heard the noise coming out of the kitchen.

Lu Yao only had a bath towel wrapped around his body to cover his lower body. Because he tried to stretch his arms and jumped up, the bath towel loosened a lot, revealing his white and slightly concave waist and the arc of his buttocks.Outside the balcony, the night is thick, and the contrast between black and white is almost gorgeous.

The ash was not flicked, sparks fell down, the back of his hand was burned, Xuan Ge let out a "squeak", and then he came back to his senses, put out the cigarette in his hand and walked to the balcony.

Lu Yao's middle fingertip touched the switch, but he couldn't press it down, so he had to prepare to jump again.At this time, the familiar smell of mint surrounded him from behind, and a hand with sharp bones appeared beside his hand, which was much darker than his own skin color.The other party easily pressed the button, and the water heater made a "beep" sound.

Her heart beat two beats faster, Lu Yao withdrew her hand as if frightened, and suddenly realized that she was not wearing any clothes, only a bath towel, so she didn't even dare to turn her head.The next moment, he heard Xuan Ge asking him from behind, "This water heater is too old and often has problems, why didn't you call me just now?"

The distance between the two was too close, Lu Yao couldn't move his mind at all, and he replied instinctively, "I can do it myself, you... aren't you making supper?"

Realizing that the distance was too close, and fearing Lu Yao's embarrassment, Xuan Ge took a step back naturally, put his hand on the railing casually, and tapped his fingers twice, "Well, it's almost ready, it's just in time for you to come out after taking a shower can eat."

The scent of mint faded a little, and Lu Yao felt a little bit reluctant. His eyes fell on Xuan Ge's finger tapping on the railing, and he quickly moved away, "Then I'll go wash it now."

The supper is small glutinous rice balls fermented with wine, sprinkled with a spoonful of sweet-scented osmanthus, a large bowl for each person, and there is a perfectly shaped boiled poached egg in Lu Yao's bowl.

Poking the poached egg with a spoon, Lu Yao heard Xuan Ge say, "Aren't you determined to grow to 1.8 meters? Eating boiled poached eggs will grow taller."

I have never heard that eating poached eggs can grow taller.Thinking so, Lu Yao still ate up everything, and when he went to sleep, he always felt that the old sofa would be crushed by his own weight.

The next morning, Lu Yao still temporarily acted as the cashier brother at Jinshi, and occasionally did some calculations.Because it is the weekend, the number of customers is not as concentrated as on weekdays, and it is not very busy.

"Everyone who came to Jin Shi for dinner before knew that the old man's knife skills are nothing to say. I happened to record this video. In fact, we all know that the old man has a bad heart and can't be tired. Later, when Xiaoxuan came, we were all very happy. I think the old man is more relaxed and can live longer." Jinshi's regular customer was watching the video for Lu Yao, and his tone was also quite sad, "It's just that I didn't expect to leave so suddenly."

"That's right, after the old man left, Boss Xuan burned all the plaques saying 'Jinshi' at the door, and buried them in the tomb." Another guest next to him answered.Lu Yao thought about it, and found that the current plaque is indeed quite new.

"Speaking of which, Jinshi's food is really delicious. I have been eating at this restaurant for almost 20 years, and Xiaoxuan has indeed learned the true skills of the old man. I think I can eat it for decades!"

"A few more decades? You don't even have to say whether you're here or not!"

"If you die, you will die. If you die, go find Mr. He for a meal..."

It may be that this topic aroused the memories of several regular customers, and they talked about the past one after another.Only then did Lu Yao know that Jin Shi's former boss was named He, and that the craftsmanship passed down from his ancestors was Xuan Ge's distant cousin.His wife and children left because of mudslides, so he has been running Jinshi by himself.More than two years ago, Xuan Ge was taken over from his hometown, probably with the idea of ​​finding someone to take care of him.

two years ago?Lu Yao noticed this point in time and was a little concerned. Before he thought about it, he heard someone asking him, "Has Xiao Lu met Mr. He?"

Nervous for a moment, Lu Yao still remembered that he was set to be Xuan Ge's cousin, but he looked three thousand miles away, and his tone pretended to be calm, "It's too far away, I haven't seen the old man—"

"Lu Yao."

"Here we come!" Hearing Xuan Ge's call, Lu Yao smiled apologetically, and walked into the kitchen a few steps.Before he could stand still, he was stuffed with a bowl of stewed Sydney with rock sugar, which was steaming hot.

"Didn't you cough last night? Eat, remember to drink everything."

Lu Yao took a sip, and the sweetness spread on the tip of his tongue. He narrowed his eyes happily, and said vaguely, "Thank you, Boss Xuan!"

Looking at Lu Yao helplessly, Xuan Ge still responded, "Well, be good."

After eleven o'clock, Xuan Ge closed the store, and took Lu Yao to the Bihai Club by bicycle.It was still the same box as before, but Jiang Fang was the only one in it, and there was a wooden box in the corner.

Seeing that the person arrived, Jiang Fang got up, "Master Lu, I'm sorry to trouble you."

"Let me take a look first." Lu Yao didn't nod, and walked directly to the place where the box was placed.

The wooden box in the corner was no different from Jiang's, but Lu Yao felt a little stronger, so he didn't let Xuan Ge do it, and squatted down and reached out to open the wooden cover.There are also bamboo slips inside, which have a strange smell.

He reached out and touched the wooden cover, "This box is different from the one in your house, the engraving is not sealed in the interlayer." Lu Yao looked carefully for a while, and suddenly put his hand directly into the box.He poked in between the scattered bamboo slips and flexed his fingers—sure enough, the uneven side walls proved his guess was correct.

However, the touch of the fingertips was not very good, as if touching half-coagulated blood, it was sticky and slippery.

Just in this posture, Lu Yao endured his disgust, carefully distinguished some of the engravings, and found several places that made him feel familiar.

When he was a child, he was not allowed to learn engraving by his grandfather because of the unstable life of the ban, but he once read in an obscure ancient book that "carving" is divided into several schools, each with its own characteristics, and among them Now only the Lu family is left.He also practiced it quietly himself, so he can tell whether these engravings are from the Lu family.

But why did the Lu family do this?

After a few thoughts in his mind, Lu Yao withdrew his hand and looked at Jiang Fang, "Can you find out where these two boxes of bamboo slips came from?" At this moment, no matter his tone or expression, people don't think he is only 19 years old at all. .

"I can't find it," Jiang Fang shook his head, and answered seriously, "After my father woke up, he went to check it once, but the clues have already been broken."

Nodding, Lu Yao took his backpack from Xuan Ge, and found a stone with a black surface, one end was blunt and the other was sharp.

Covering the box again, Lu Yao began to use the sharp end to carve fine lines on the surface of the wooden box stroke by stroke. The lines were smooth, and each stroke seemed to follow a certain pattern.But it was obvious that every stroke he made was resisted, and after he finished carving one side, a fine layer of sweat broke out on Lu Yao's forehead.

This time it took a full hour and a half before Lu Yao painted engravings on all six sides of the wooden box.Those engraved lines are slender and complicated, which are obviously different from those seen in Jiang's house.

"Master Lu...is this?" Jiang Fang thought that Lu Yao would be burned directly like before.

Wiping the sweat off his forehead, Lu Yao explained a little bit, "This box is more powerful than the one you got. Yours only makes people sick. This... is directly killing people. I have already sealed it, you After taking it back, bury the box under an old tree with lush branches, and there will be no problem."

The old tree's continuous cycle of vitality will slowly wear away the original dead energy of the engraving, and with this method, the Lu family will not notice that the box has been damaged.

But now it seems that Lu Zelin came to City B to deal with engraving matters, not to arrest him.

After Lu Yao and Xuan Ge left, Jiang Fang called the person waiting downstairs to come up and carry the box back.Before leaving, he was worried that the contents inside might accidentally fall out during the transport, so he thought about re-fastening the lock just to be on the safe side.But I found that even the gaps on the box had disappeared, and the whole box seemed to be polished from a whole piece of wood.

Jiang Xin jumped in his heart and hurriedly asked to be carried away.

The box was empty.

After 10 minutes, the box door was opened again.A young man wearing a long beige trench coat walked in and looked around, "Huh? Everyone left?"

He walked a few more steps in, stopped at the place where the wooden box was placed before, and stepped on the floor, "It seems that the box was indeed moved here."

A palm-sized astrolabe flew out of his clothes, "There are traces of spiritual energy."

"Someone settled the matter." The young man nodded, rubbed his shoulders again, and complained, "The Lu family really likes to make troubles, don't they have time to spare?"

After moving his shoulder joints, he breathed into the palms of his hands and put them back into his pockets, "Let's go to Qinghe, I'll take you to eat hot pot." After walking a few steps, he found that the astrolabe didn't follow, "What's wrong?"

"Fei Yi, I seem to feel the same kind of smell."

Xue Feiyi was a little strange, "Your kind? The small plate from the Lu family has also been here?"

"The breath is too weak to be sure."

"Oh, if you really came here, then the matter of the Lu family will be interesting."
