crossing yin and yang

The ward was very quiet, no windows were opened, no TV was turned on, and even most of the monitoring equipment stopped working. The good sound insulation made the room like an isolated island without any interference.In such silence, the faint breathing sound was amplified many times and became eye-catching.

Zhang Xiuqi looked to the side, and there was a person falling asleep in the direction of the sound of breathing.Maybe it was because of the pleasant surprise that he relaxed his mind. After chatting for a while, Wei Yang fell asleep lying on the bedside.

However, even when he fell asleep, his complexion was still very pale. A few shallow scars scratched his cheeks, showing a faint blush. There was a circle of gauze wrapped around his neck, obviously he had suffered serious injuries.Zhang Xiuqi looked at this face carefully, and after a long time, he looked away and looked at his own hands that were also wrapped in gauze.

Many memories of last night were blurred, and he completely lost consciousness for a while, only remembering the strong smell of blood and uncontrollable rage.Suddenly something more appeared in his chaotic mind, some afterimages that made it difficult to breathe and his heart was pumping.He thought of his father, all kinds of things in the forbidden area, and the figure who left, but these were all fragments, like a shallow reflection from the gap in the abyss.

Zhang Xiuqi felt something humming in his head, that thing was cold and hard, like a rock stuck in his throat, making people want to go crazy, but those reflections were so important that he couldn't help digging. Looking for, trying to break the cage that holds them.

A little blood oozes out of the gauze, leaving a small red smudge, maybe he accidentally touched the wound when moving people just now, the price he paid for eradicating the corpse puppet this time was not small, and he suffered a lot of injuries, but As if he couldn't feel the pain, he just sat on the bed in a daze, staring at the gauze in his hand.

Beside him, the sound of breathing is still steady and comfortable, just like a child returning to its swaddle, and the steady sound of breathing has gradually calmed down his inner fear—of course, Zhang Xiuqi may not know that the name of that emotion is Fear—he just sat quietly on the bed, letting those fragments run rampant in his head.

When Master Chizhi arrived at the hospital, Wei Yang had already woken up. He had consumed too much last night, was thrilled and frightened, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t hold on, so when the little celestial master woke up, he The electricity was cut off, and I fell asleep.When I woke up, I found that I was already lying on the bed, and I was asleep for two hours.

However, this little nap did not calm his emotions. Seeing the figure of Master Chizhi, he quickly walked over and grabbed the sleeve of the old monk: "Master Chizhi, I am sorry for calling you here in such a hurry. I just want to ask you to take a look at Brother Qi's situation. Something happened yesterday, which made his spirit a little bit wrong..."

We can't blame him for being impatient. After waking up and returning to his soul, Wei Yang discovered that something was wrong with Zhang Xiuqi. Although he had regained consciousness, the little celestial master didn't cry out for hunger like before, nor did he have the intention of getting up to draw amulets or move around. He just sat motionless on the hospital bed, and seemed to become even more silent.

It’s a bit weird to describe this iceberg with silence. After all, Zhang Xiuqi has always been taciturn, but Wei Yang is no one else. He can clearly distinguish the difference between this silence and the original one. If the previous silence is just the dullness caused by the lack of soul and dazed, then the current silence has become a kind of "emotion", a kind of self-enclosed due to psychological factors, like filling something in a blank, heavy, something with its own weight and will.

Such a change made Wei Yang a little panicked. The previous excitement disappeared and turned into another worry.Therefore, when Master Zhizhi came, it was as if he had seen a savior.

Master Zhizhi didn't say anything, but looked at Wei Yang with his blind eyes, and replied after a long while: "Leaving aside the matter of Mr. Zhang, it seems that you, benefactor Wei, have undergone some changes."

This answer was unexpected, Wei Yang frowned, and before he understood what the old monk meant, he had already walked towards the hospital bed.Although he couldn't see with his eyes, Zhizhi's pace was still steady, as if he could see everything in the house clearly. Although his voice was dry and hoarse, his tone was unusually gentle: "Mr. Zhang, do you remember anything?"

Zhang Xiuqi's pitch-black eyes looked over, but they didn't land on Zhizhi. Instead, he seemed to pass through the person in front of him, looking towards a very distant place. After a long time, he nodded: "Some things are very messy."

In his chaotic mind, all kinds of memory fragments are churning, trying to break through the cage that confines them, but missing a soul, it is difficult for him to understand the meaning of these emotions, and naturally he has no way of realizing that what is churning in his heart is What.Even so, the afterimages left behind still began to ferment, eating away at what little he had left in his inner world, and making the burdened two souls even more chaotic.

The stupid monk nodded: "The soul has not returned, but the karma has arrived. No wonder it is so. Apart from the corpse, what happened last night?"

This question was not asked by Zhang Xiuqi, but by Wei Yang. When he called before, he only briefly explained the situation, but did not go into too much detail. This was an insane inquiry, and Wei Yang naturally would not hide it. He replied: "The Longhushan Talisman Jade I wore on my body since I was a child is broken. It is a relic left by Brother Qi's father. Is it because of this that he..."

Master Zhizhi shook his head: "The changes on your body may come from Fu Yu, but the changes on Mr. Zhang's body definitely don't."

This answer was beyond Wei Yang's expectations again. Master Chizhi seemed to know his confusion, and explained directly: "Fu Yu is passed down from the lineage of Longhu Mountain. If it is related to Mr. Zhang's missing soul, I am afraid someone would have discovered it long ago. These changes in your body should not come from the talisman jade. But the barrier covering you, benefactor Wei, has disappeared. It may be that the Longhushan talisman jade suppressed your aura before, but now that the talisman jade is broken, the aura is gone. It has already been revealed, but the old monk is not a member of the Taoist sect, so he can't see the root of it. But..."

His voice paused for a moment, as if he was considering his words: "...But, maybe I misread the cause and effect of the two of you, or reversed the cause and effect."

What he said was unclear, Wei Yang felt as if he had been dragged into the mist, what was going on with his arrogance?What does it have to do with Brother Qi?

Suppressing the churning in his heart, he swallowed his saliva: "What about Brother Qi? Is the situation getting worse..."

Master Zhizhi shook his head: "It's not worse, but a breakthrough. As for whether it's good or bad, it depends on the subsequent situation. Wei Benefactor, maybe this layer of karma will still fall on you."

"Because of that air?" Wei Yang could only feel a bit of bitterness in his throat. What kind of bullshit air did he have on him? Since he was a child, he hadn't learned the slightest bit of kung fu. Could it be that those gold dot fishy dishes need dragons and tigers? Will the mountain talisman jade come to suppress it?

"Because of that layer of cause and effect." The old monk replied lightly, "If you can find out the cause and effect between you and Mr. Zhang, maybe you can find traces of his soul."

Going back to cause and effect again, Wei Yang closed his eyes and said, "I understand, please help Brother Qi stabilize his soul first."

Since he was here to help, Zhizhi certainly wouldn't refuse, and sat cross-legged on the side, reciting Buddhist gatha.The Great Compassion Mantra is the righteous way of Buddhism to eliminate evil karma, and it also has the effect of calming the soul and stabilizing the heart. Following the hoarse voice, Zhang Xiuqi gradually closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep after a while.

After reciting seven times, Zhizhi stopped and took out something from his sleeve: "This is a magic weapon I found from my senior brother before. I wanted to give it to the benefactor Wei, but now it seems that it is more suitable for Mr. Zhang." gone."

Wei Yang reached out to take it, and found that it was a bodhi seed, but it was different from the ordinary rosary beads on the market. This bodhi seed was crystal clear and round, and already had a faint image of gold and jade. , Just put it in the palm of your hand, and there will be bursts of coolness, which makes people's minds calm.

"This is the heterogeneous valley that my master obtained by accident in the early years. I asked a famous teacher to carve it, and after a long time of pregnancy, I got such a magic weapon. It has the effect of avoiding evil spirits and concentrating on the body. It should be able to temporarily stabilize Mr. Zhang's soul, but The only way to restore him completely is to find the missing soul."

Wei Yang held the Bodhi Pearl in his palm and nodded: "I will try it out, and please contact Longhushan, Master Qi. Brother Qi's uncle entrusted him to me before. If I can find that Mister Zeng, it might be helpful too."

Mr. Zeng left in a hurry before. Although he left a mobile phone number, he couldn't get through for a long time. Therefore, no matter how unwilling he was, Wei Yang could only try to ask for help and think about the future.As if he remembered something, he added another sentence: "By the way, when we exterminated the puppet before, there was a three-corpse insect that escaped by attaching itself to someone else. The person in question is already dead, I don’t know if Peng Zhi is still alive, Brother Qi can’t get rid of the demon in this state, I wonder if Master can help me to find out if Peng Zhi has been removed.”

Zhizhi frowned slightly: "There are three corpses among the corpse puppets? Please tell me what happened last night in detail!"

It can be seen that the old monk's expression is much more serious. Wei Yang immediately explained in detail what he saw and experienced yesterday, even including the part where he stopped the corpse puppet. Shaking his head: "No, if the corpse puppet really came from the three corpses, and even gave birth to ghost embryos, it is definitely not so easy to get rid of, what magic weapon did you use?"

Wei Yang couldn't help being startled: "No more, and I heard from that boy Sun Muhua that Brother Qi went crazy in the end and beat the corpse puppet to death with his fist..."

"Confused! How can you kill a monster that can be defeated by Longhushan Fuyu with bare hands!" Master Zhizhi's face turned cold completely, and he said sharply, "Did the benefactor Sun also come to the city, go to him quickly!" Call, let's go and have a look together!"
