crossing yin and yang

After a lot of tossing with all his life, the harvest was even richer than expected. Wei Yang was also very generous this time, and brought Zhang Xiuqi to the famous Juxianlou in the city. Abalone, sea cucumber, and prawns Randomly order, set up a table of signature dishes, and prepare to pay homage to the Wu Zang Temple.

At this moment, Zhang Xiuqi seemed to be very hungry. As soon as the plate of cold dishes was put on, he picked up his chopsticks and began to eat, even faster than usual.Wei Yang smiled helplessly: "Brother Qi, slow down, there will be big dishes later, don't eat so much cold food... Sigh, we are quite full at noon, why are we hungry so quickly?"

Zhang Xiuqi never spoke when eating, and Wei Yang didn't really want to ask why. In fact, he could guess from the bottom of his heart that casting spells was probably too expensive, and he needed to replenish his energy, just like the big move in the game. It is the same as adding red and blue medicine.Due to the excessive shock just now, he has no appetite now, so he took out the things that Zhang Xiuqi gave him in the haunted house before.

The situation just now was too chaotic, he put it in his pocket without looking carefully, now he took it out for a look, he couldn't help being surprised, it turned out that this thing was a small jade cicada, only about two inches long, The carving is extremely exquisite, even the transparent wings on the back and the thin legs and claws on the abdomen are clearly visible. What is even more rare is that this piece of jade is a real piece of ancient jade. The infiltration of the jade body makes it present a bright red color. If you only look at the carving and jade quality, it can be called a generation of fine products, but real collectors may not wear this thing on their bodies.

Just because this jade cicada is a kind of burial vessel, it is usually placed in the mouth of the corpse, so it is called "Yu Chan".Such thick blood, still in the shape of a cicada, this object is at least something from before and after the Han Dynasty. I don’t know how long it has been held by the ancient corpse. There is a hole on it and a rope hanging on it, obviously it was regarded as an accessory belt.

"Damn it, did you find this thing in the toilet?" Wei Yang clicked his tongue in disbelief, and Wei Yang curled his lips. This jade can be sold for at least a million yuan in the market, right?It's still the kind that has a price but no market, and I don't know which black goods point it came from. How could it be forgotten in the haunted house?But just thinking about it, he shook his hand and almost threw Yuchan out. Could it be... something to do with that weird little bug?

There was a layer of white sweat all over his body. Wei Yang carefully looked at Yuchan again, and soon found that the hole in the pendant was a bit weird. What I saw was even deeper, as if something had pierced through the jade body.Wei Yang swallowed, and couldn't help but raised his head and asked, "Brother Qi, is that the little bug we killed today came out of here? What is that thing, isn't it the legendary corpse turtle?"

There have been too many works related to tomb robbery in the past two years, and the depictions of corpse turtles have been overwhelming and endless, which has always been a sharp weapon to heighten the horror atmosphere.But thinking about it carefully, Wei Yang felt that the little bugs he saw today were not quite similar to the ones in the film and television works. They didn’t have hairy claws and big pincers, and they didn’t look very fierce. Instead, they looked a bit like a mutant version of watermelon bugs. The foot is round and the back is round, but the color is redder.After Zhang Xiuqi took the worm, he didn't explain and didn't intend to take it out to check again, which made him a little curious.

It may be that the side dishes are good at the bottom. Hearing Wei Yang's question, Zhang Xiuqi actually stopped his chopsticks, swallowed the food in his mouth leisurely, and spit out two words: "San Peng."

"San Peng?" Wei Yang was taken aback, "You mean that bug is called San Peng? Wait, this name sounds familiar, let me think about it..."

After racking his brains for a long time, he suddenly said "ah!"

The so-called three corpses refer to the three worms in charge of human "evil desires", which occupy the upper, middle and lower dantians of the human body respectively. The root of desires such as greed and hatred.That's why Taoism has the saying of beheading the three corpses. If you want to achieve the right result of cultivation, you must wipe out the three corpses and get rid of all kinds of delusions.Because the surname of the three corpses is "Peng", there is also a saying that the three corpses are called San Peng.In the past, medicine and Taoism were not separated, so some doctors regarded the three corpse insects as real existence, saying that they are connected with ghosts and spirits, can cause external evils, and cause some unexplained physical or mental disorders. symptom.

It turns out that in the countryside, there are still many old people who say that their mental disorders are caused by the three corpse insects, and there is no medicine to cure them.However, with the advancement of modern social science, the so-called three corpses have long been replaced by words such as parasites and brain disorders. Wei Yang has never believed in such nonsense.

Zhang Xiuqi hummed lightly as an answer, picked up his chopsticks and started eating again.The corners of Wei Yang's mouth twitched slightly. After all, the three corpses are considered a strange thing, and it took so much effort to subdue them. Why is this person's reaction so ordinary, as if he had killed a cockroach.Speechlessly looking at the jade cicada again, Wei Yang suddenly understood in his heart that this thing might really have something to do with the case of jumping off a building.

Maybe it was because someone pierced the jade cicada buried with him, which woke up the three corpses that were dormant in it, and the three corpses interfered with Mr. Xu who was wearing jade ornaments, leading to a tragedy. Yuchan was somehow forgotten on the 13th floor, which triggered a series of subsequent incidents of ghosts and ghosts.And he brought the Longhushan Talisman Jade with him, so it was impossible for him to be disturbed by the three corpses. Naturally, he thought it was a farce, so he went into the sea to make money.

"Fuck, think about it this way, have I seen many evil creatures long ago, but I never found out because I was wearing the amulet jade on my body? Isn't this courting death..." Wei Yang suddenly felt a little embarrassed, He still specializes in magic sticks, this shit is literally wading by the river, he didn't know how to die.

"Fu Yu, my father made it, it's safe." Zhang Xiuqi interrupted suddenly, this time he didn't even put down his chopsticks.

Looking at the serious and handsome face of the other party, Wei Yang was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly laughed: "Okay, with Brother Qi, you little celestial master, I have nothing to be afraid of. Don't be busy eating cold dishes, wait, The hot dishes will be here soon."

Following his words, the big dishes began to be served in a short while, and each dish was steaming hot with a tangy aroma.Zhang Xiuqi doesn't seem to have eaten much seafood. He would frown when eating sea cucumbers, and he didn't even know how to use chopsticks when facing prawns. Wei Yang happily fought, and was concerned about the injury on the tip of the other's tongue, so he kept everything hot and cold moderately It was a fun meal, and the life-and-death fight before was forgotten in the back of my mind.

After having enough tea and food, the two of them went back home and lay down on the big bed in their kennel. Wei Yang suddenly felt that all the bones in his body were loose. Soft mattress.He yawned lightly, and said to Zhang Xiuqi: "Brother Qi, I'm too full to take a nap for a while, remember to call me at night, let's have supper."

After finishing speaking, he didn't wait for Zhang Xiuqi's answer, and fell headfirst on the pillow.Zhang Xiuqi did not answer, but walked quietly to the wall, opened the travel bag, and put the small bottle in his arms containing the remains of the three corpses into the inner pocket at the bottom of the bag.The style of this bag looks very fashionable, but it is embroidered with talismans around the inside. It is a special bag for Longhu Mountain. Zhang Xiuqi has been used to it since he was a child, and his movements are orderly. He picked out a few copper coins and talisman papers and took them with him before zipping them up.

When he raised his head, he saw something squatting by his feet, which was the tortoise raised by Wei Yang.At some point, the master actually came to Zhang Xiuqi's feet, stretched his neck as if he was going to poke into the travel bag.Noticing that the bag had been pulled up again, it was not in a hurry, stretched out its head to glance at the stranger next to it, and crawled to the side of the bed step by step, stretching out its forelegs with great effort to hook Wei Yang's clothes that were hanging beside the bed.The clothes hadn't been put away, and they fell off the bed, and the jade cicada rolled out of the pocket immediately.

It seems that this is what the tortoise was looking for. It crawled over slowly, stretched its neck and sniffed the jade cicada carefully. On Yuchan.Yuchan rolled twice and landed at Zhang Xiuqi's feet. He bent down to pick up the mouthpiece, and reached out to touch the cold and hard lines on the turtle's carapace. It took a long time before he said, "Get rid of the three Pengs." gone."

As if he was afraid that the tortoise would not understand, after a long time, he added: "Evil spirit, too."

An ordinary person might not be able to understand these words, but the master seemed to understand. Yuanyuan nodded his head up and down twice, stretched his neck and rubbed Zhang Xiuqi's wrist, and then slowly crawled back to the bed , changed direction, lowered his head, and lay quietly at the foot of the bed.

Zhang Xiuqi looked at the turtle for a long time, stood up, picked up the coat that fell on the ground, and put it on the back of the chair, while Yuchan put it on the desk.After doing all this, he didn't continue to occupy the desk as usual, but sat quietly beside the bed with the tortoise, as if he was guarding the sleeping man on the bed.

The sun slowly went down, Wei Yang fell into a deep sleep, probably because he wasted too much energy, he didn't intend to wake up at all, after an unknown period of time, Zhang Xiuqi stood up again, walked to the bathroom, and made his own fixed point wash up.After washing, he changed into his pajamas, folded his coat neatly, and put it aside. He glanced at the curled up figure still lying on the bed. His eyebrows frowned slightly, and he patted the other side. pillow and lie down on it.

The bed in the rental house is not too small, two big men can sleep while lying side by side, but it is a little crowded.Zhang Xiuqi moved his body to make himself lie more stable, his arm naturally touched the opponent's back, as if he was a little curious about the touch from his arm, he blinked his eyes, but he didn't move his body after all.

Master Turtle raised his head slowly, opened his wrinkled mouth like a yawn, and crawled towards his water basin with twists and turns.

It is harmful to people. Its seizures are as follows: Or silent, no suffering, but evil everywhere; or abdominal pain, bloating;
