crossing yin and yang

The next day, Zhang Xiuqi woke up from his sleep, but he didn't get up immediately, but lay flat on the bed, blinking his eyes slowly as if he hadn't woken up. After a few minutes, he tilted his head slightly, thinking He was looking for a certain figure, but the other half of the bed was empty. Obviously, the person sleeping there had left long ago, and even the remaining body temperature disappeared.

This realization seemed to really wake him up. Zhang Xiuqi got up from the bed and walked outside. Instead of going to the bathroom as usual, he came to the kitchen door. Wei Yang had just put the fried eggs on a plate. Looking up, I saw the figure of the little heavenly master, and smiled at him: "Brother Qi, are you awake? Get ready to eat."

Hearing that person's voice, the expression on Zhang Xiuqi's face eased, he looked down at the pajamas on his body, and walked slowly to the bathroom.Washing has become complicated due to the ring hanging on one arm. He squeezed the toothbrush in his hand and squeezed the toothpaste with his left hand. However, this time it was not exactly 2 centimeters. His hand seemed to be a little too hard. The paste sprayed out from the nozzle, completely covering the bristles of the toothbrush, and some even slipped down the handle and fell into the white sink.

After staring at the toothpaste in a daze for a while, Zhang Xiuqi stuffed the toothbrush into his mouth, the strong mint smell filled his mouth, but he didn't even wrinkle his eyebrows, just finished brushing his teeth with his mouth full of foam.Then he washed his face, combed his hair, and went to the toilet. Every time he did a movement, his body had some uncoordinated parts. The previous precision was gone, and only hesitant attempts remained.It took a full 5 minutes before he finished everything and walked into the living room.

"It's inconvenient to wash with one hand, isn't it?" Wei Yang has already set up a table full of food, as if nothing happened, and handed the chopsticks to Zhang Xiuqi, "Here, your favorite soft-boiled omelet, serve it while it's hot." eat."

Zhang Xiuqi nodded, sat at the dining table, stretched out his chopsticks to grab the golden brown and crispy egg, but his fingers, which were sharp yesterday, seemed to be knotted today, and he hadn't brought the fried egg to his mouth yet. As soon as the chopsticks slipped, the egg fell onto the table with a bang.

Wei Yang was obviously more surprised than the little heavenly master, he hurriedly picked up the egg that fell on the table, and pushed the other intact fried egg over with the plate: "Brother Qi, haven't you slept enough? You don't seem to be in good spirits. That's great, here, just eat on a plate."

Zhang Xiuqi also seemed a little confused. He looked at his fingers, then at the fried eggs on the plate, and finally bent down and ate from the plate like a child. The meal was a bit embarrassing, and it was hard After finishing breakfast, he slowly stood up from the table, walked to the sofa, sat down quietly, and became dazed.

After tidying up the things on the table, Wei Yang saw the dazed little celestial master, and couldn't help asking: "Brother Qi, aren't you going to draw the soul-fixing talisman today?"

Zhang Xiuqi shook his head calmly, and Wei Yang's eyebrows were almost wrinkled: "I really don't need to paint? I think you don't seem very well..."

"Fu, not good." Zhang Xiuqi replied slowly, tilted his head and took another deep look at Wei Yang, with something soft in his eyes, "Yangyang, very good."

Wei Yang couldn't help but tremble, what does this mean, he doesn't want to draw any more symbols?Brother Qi is really not in the right state today, but his spirit is very relaxed, and he doesn't look uncomfortable. Why don't he call and ask Master Zhizhi later?Regarding these strange signs, Wei Yang had no idea at all, and immediately remembered the reliable old monk, but before he could find out his business card, the phone rang over there.

It turned out to be Hei Pi who called, without the slightest hesitation, he asked straight to the point: "Ayang, have you been doing business again recently? Yesterday Xiao Qu'er came to tell me that someone came to his door to apologize."

Wei Yang was taken aback for a moment, and immediately realized that this was not arranged by Director Sun, right?Not only did he have to do his job well, but he even made up for the offending Liu Qu that day. The head of the department really did not reveal anything.Wanting to understand this point, Wei Yang had nothing to hide, and replied directly: "It's a big business order, the senior member of the Provincial Public Security Bureau, probably his father-in-law woke up and found out his conscience, right?"

Hei Pi is a very good person, and he understood the meaning when he heard this: "It seems that I have accepted your love this time, Xiao Qu'er, a troublemaker, just doesn't make people worry, and I will watch it when I go out next time." He's fine."

There was a bit of helplessness in these words, Wei Yang chuckled lightly: "It's all a matter of little effort. By the way, Brother Ming, what's the matter with calling so early?"

Hei Pi is really not a person who can get up early, and he definitely wouldn't call him so early just to say these innocuous words to him.Sure enough, Heipi smiled and said: "There is something. Uncle Qi came home in the middle of the night last night, and fell asleep as soon as he came back. When he woke up today, he immediately dragged me out of bed and asked me to call."

Hearing this, Wei Yang was shocked: "Uncle Qi is back? Are you still looking for me? Could it be that bone formation..."

"Well, it seems that he found out that there is something wrong with the bone array, and he will wait for you without eating." Hei Pi replied very bad-tempered. It's much better to let him find someone early in the morning after spending so much time sleeping and forgetting to eat and drink.

If it was a month ago, Wei Yang might not have been a little bit nervous, but now he knows how many strange things there are in this world, how dare he ignore them, and immediately responded: "Okay, I will now Just go."

No more greetings, Wei Yang hung up the phone, turned to look at Zhang Xiuqi who was sitting on the sofa, and couldn't help but feel a little headache: "Brother Qi, are you okay? I really have something to do here, I have to go out, why don't you go out first?" Stay home and rest..."

Before he finished speaking, Zhang Xiuqi had already stood up, and he didn't intend to stay to watch the house at all. Faced with the insistence of the little celestial master, Wei Yang really couldn't think of a good way, so he had to carefully advise: " If there is something uncomfortable, brother Qi, you must tell me, if it doesn’t work, let’s go to Master Zhizhi immediately..."

Zhang Xiuqi nodded, expressing that he remembered, Wei Yang was still worried, so he helped him change his clothes, and checked the guys with him, and then the two rushed to Jubaozhai together.

It was not yet eight o'clock at this time, and most of the shops on Wenhua Street were closed, and few of them even opened in the back alleys. Wei Yang went directly to the backyard of Jubaozhai and patted on the door. Hei Pi, without further ado, led the people inside, but this time he went to the second floor of the small courtyard instead of the workshop or the warehouse.

Different from the grocery store on the first floor, the second floor is obviously much quieter, and the interior furnishings are also elegant and generous, exuding the taste that an antique shop should have. This place is connected to the main entrance, and it is usually used to receive wealthy and However, today Hei Pi did not lead the person to the small reception room, but walked through the corridor and pushed open the innermost door: "This is it, Uncle Seven, I brought the person here." .”

This is a small work room. It looks almost the same as the one downstairs. The only difference is that there is an extra bed, but there are also a lot of sundries piled up on the bed, so I don't know if I can sleep someone.Hearing Heipi's voice, the old man in front of the case raised his head, and his eyes fell on Wei Yang: "Ah Yang, I found a clue to that bone formation, it depends on whether you believe it or not."

How could Wei Yang not understand what Uncle Qi said, he sighed, took a step forward, and said respectfully: "Uncle Qi, a lot of things have happened to me recently, I have to believe it, what is so weird about that thing? , and ask Uncle Seven to teach me."

Apparently he didn't expect Wei Yang to answer like this, Uncle Qi frowned, and then glanced at Zhang Xiuqi who was following behind Wei Yang, Hei Pi hurriedly introduced: "Uncle Qi, this is Mr. Xiao Zhang from Longhu Mountain. I have been helping in Jieshui Zhai for a while."

Hearing this, the old man suddenly understood, and the solemnity on his face finally subsided a bit: "That's right, there are so many truths that can be explained by science in the world, if you blindly act recklessly, one day you will suffer the consequences."

After teaching people a lesson, he stopped talking nonsense, and directly opened the small sandalwood box on the table and said to Wei Yang: "Recently, I found a few old guys who have studied water books, and I went to Henan and Guizhou for a while. In the circle, I finally found out something. According to legend, people who knew Shuishu in ancient times were all witches who specially served the imperial family. They were the most prosperous in the Xia Dynasty. Years of wars, the torch gradually withered, and the last one spread to Dushan, Guizhou, where it thrived, and these ancient witchcraft techniques were also handed down."

Wei Yang thumped in his heart. He had indeed guessed something. Ever since Master Chizhi revealed the burial curse, he discovered that the rumors hidden in history might be true. ?

Uncle Qi’s words didn’t stop: “The so-called shamans, in ancient times, had the greatest and original function of being ‘ghosts and gods’, using a unique method to contact the dead and pray for their blessings, so these shamans also You are good at communicating with ghosts and gods with sound and words, and this kind of writing is 'Shuishu', also known as "Junwen", so the thing on your bone formation is likely to be a formation related to ghosts and gods, and this The thing is not a single one, but a group. A few years ago, there were people who wanted to buy a similar magic weapon, which made my old buddy have an impression..."

While he was talking, someone suddenly moved behind Wei Yang. Zhang Xiuqi took two steps and walked to the desk a little staggeringly. There was nothing else in his eyes, and it seemed that all his attention was on the bone array. The expression on the face is like anger and panic, with unprecedented complex emotions: "Bone Array... Dad..."

He stretched his hand forward, but before he touched the small box on the table, his body suddenly tilted and fell backwards.

"Brother Qi!"

Someone exclaimed his name, but Zhang Xiuqi couldn't answer, a mist swept over him, and he fell into complete darkness.
