Well of Mystery

Thankfully, due to the full day's hard work, Bai Xiuqi soon fell asleep after calming down, and the quality of sleep was not bad.

In the middle of the night, the last wave of cold air in the late spring of this year entered the city, and there happened to be a "Hundred Ghosts at Night" in Xuanjing's apartment, which was a bit overcast, so it was a bit comfortable to sleep wrapped in a quilt.

It's just that after waking up, Bai Xiuqi found another person hiding in the warm quilt——Jiang Chenglu's sleeping appearance is really not flattering, but that handsome face with messy sleeping hair looks even better. A little...cute? !

Bai Xiuqi really felt that his brain was broken.He turned around and yawned deliberately, stretched himself, then moved the arms that were pressing on his chest away, and sat up.

Jiang Chenglu was indeed woken up by him, yawning and propping his head up with one hand: "Oh... good morning."

Bai Xiuqi nodded, jumped up and got dressed, then frowned at the pile of broken glass that hadn't been cleaned last night in the sink.

Hey, there's no way, someone has to start cleaning it up.

Thinking of this, he rolled up his sleeves and was about to pick up glass scum, when Jiang Chenglu who was still lying on the bed suddenly jumped up.

"Don't move, don't move." He came to stop Bai Xiuqi's hand: "Leave it alone, I have a solution."

With that said, he put on his slippers, went out in a vest and shorts, and went up the stairs to the third floor.After a while, he returned the same way, still holding a large lump of flat meat in his hand, a pale yellow mass that looked like a large piece of melted cheese, and it was also covered with red threads.

Bai Xiuqi saw Jiang Chenglu throw the ball into the pool, and then sat back on the edge of the bed.

Just as he was about to ask what to do next, he heard a creaking sound of broken glass crushing in the pool, and then sections of bright yellow clumps the size of teacups crawled out of the pool, some spinning on the stove , Some fell to the floor, and some even got into the mouthwash cups and towel racks... Under Bai Xiuqi's dumbfounded gaze, Jiang Chenglu spread out another large newspaper on the ground.

I saw those little yellow balls moving towards the newspaper little by little, and gathered into a big ball again.Jiang Chenglu picked it up again, and Bai Xiuqi realized that all the glass scum that had been walking around had been collected by Huang Tuantuan in the newspaper.

"What is this, so magical!"

"Guess." Jiang Chenglu tied Huang Tuantuan up again with a red string, and asked in a leisurely manner.

"..."

Before answering, Bai Xiuqi reached out and touched the surface of the yellow ball, which was hard but slippery.

"Ganoderma lucidum?" He guessed that since it can become a spirit, it must be something rare: "Or is it the legendary Tai Sui?"

"How is it possible! Have you ever heard that these two things can remove glass slag?" Jiang Chenglu shook his head exaggeratedly: "Guess again."

Originally, Bai Xiuqi didn't want to play guessing games with him, but he was really curious in his heart, so he observed it patiently and carefully, and then felt a faint fragrance on the hand that touched the thing.

"……Soap?"

He said the answer that even he was not sure about, and then unexpectedly got Jiang Chenglu's approval.

"That's right, soap is the best at sticking to glass scum. Fortunately, we have a soap fairy, otherwise we would have wasted several rolls of tape."

Bai Xiuqi was stunned: "I can barely believe that Pu Wei can become a spirit, but now you say that even soap can..."

Speaking of this, he himself thought it was funny, covered his mouth and shoulders and kept shaking.

But Jiang Chenglu put on a stern face instead: "Be serious, who said that soap can't be refined? Do you know that ancient Western soaps contained animal fats, and the souls of those animals stayed in the soap all the time? A hundred years later Cultivate to be refined, and then merge with other souls in the soap, and then it becomes what you see now."

"...Is this big group of feelings foreign?" Bai Xiuqi laughed dumbfounded: "Can foreign soap also become a Chinese monster?"

"It came to China on a missionary ship at the end of the Qing Dynasty. It is estimated that it was like a fish in water in the cargo yard when it was mixed on the ship, and it already looked like this when it got off the ship. Foreign monks can recite scriptures, but you are not. I don't know why."

……

Bai Xiuqi knew that he was still inexperienced in this area, so he stopped being entangled, and instead found trouble with the red line in Jiang Chenglu's hand.

"Even if it's a piece of soap, you ask someone to do something, and you tie him up when it's over. What's the point, you?"

Jiang Chenglu showed an expression of "what do you know?": "This is also helping it practice. Just like Bodhidharma facing the wall, when these monsters are bound by the red thread, they will enter a dormant state, and after their own cultivation Practice and live in the pot of heaven."

"The pot of heaven that was cultivated, what is that?"

"Close your eyes." Jiang Chenglu asked suddenly: "Close your eyes and imagine yourself in a completely different space. What does that look like?"

Bai Xiuqi was stunned for a moment, but he still did it.After a while, he replied: "A large grassland, and there are several ponds in the distance. The wind is so strong that the grassland rustles."

"It's pretty simple."

Jiang Chenglu laughed and continued: "What you imagined just now is a kind of pot sky, but because you have no cultivation level, this kind of pot sky is extremely unstable and almost only exists in one thought. With cultivation base The people who can not only make the Hutian appear stably, but also gradually expand the scope of the Hutian, the terrain and landforms inside, and the products. From a certain point of view, it is their pot of heaven."

Bai Xiuqi was stunned for a while, and asked after a while: "Then do you have a pot?"

"I, open your eyes and close your eyes, there is only this Xuanjing apartment." Jiang Chenglu laughed.

When they had finished tidying up the house and washing up, Li Kun downstairs also woke up.The three of them ate breakfast sloppily, and it was already around nine o'clock in the morning.After the meal, Li Kun was reluctantly sent to wash the dishes. Jiang Chenglu was calculating the cost of house maintenance when his cell phone rang.

The call was from Tao Chuan, who said he had found the report records of Wang Qingzhi's family. According to the ticket purchase records and surveillance cameras in public places, Wang Qingzhi bought a long-distance bus ticket to City A of the province before he disappeared, and finally Disappear in this wetland park west of the city.

No one knows where she went next. The terrain in this wetland park is complicated, with many cliffs, deep pools and swamps. It is difficult for people to find it even if they fall into it.A while ago, there were donkey friends who left the team and placed orders, but they have not been found until now.

"What is Wang Qingzhi doing here? Is it to relax or is he really planning to commit suicide?" Bai Xiuqi asked the question that everyone wanted to know.

"Maybe...not at all." Li Kun on the side said coyly, "She should be going to ambush me."

As we all know, Li Kun is a rich second generation.His family is mainly engaged in real estate business, but they also run hotels, such as the resort hotel in the Wetland Park.

When Li Kun was still on good terms with Wang Qingzhi, he took her to that hotel.As the young owner of the hotel, he has his own exclusive room on the top floor there. Every April and May, there will be a fishing festival in the Wetland Park. At that time, many Li family members including Li Kun will stay in the hotel. Kun himself mentioned it to Wang Qingzhi once.

Calculated, the time when Wang Qingzhi disappeared happened to be the eve of the Fishing Festival, so it is very likely that he came here to wait for Li Kun.Moreover, he chose this secluded place instead of looking elsewhere, and his motives were also very suspicious.

"Damn it, she's going to settle accounts with me there." Li Kun felt a chill down his spine after realizing it.

But if this is true, it at least shows that Wang Qingzhi did not intend to seek death at the beginning.It was because of some unexpected situation that she lost her life, and after her death, Li Kun stayed at the resort hotel in Wetland Park, and it was at that time that Li Kun was possessed by the male pampas grass that flew over.

Jiang Chenglu said that in this case, it would be much less difficult to solve. In any case, we still have to wait until her body is found.

Without further ado, we must leave immediately and head to the Wetland Park.

"Just go with Li Kun, you stay here." Jiang Chenglu looked at Bai Xiuqi.

Bai Xiuqi shook her head: "This matter is related to me. On the premise of guaranteeing not to cause trouble for you, I reserve my right to know and the right to fight side by side with you."

This matter was originally caused by Li Kun, and the transportation, board and lodging and other matters on the road were of course left to Li Kun to handle.Not only that, but under Bai Xiuqi's "suggestion", he also promised to give a sum of money as a maintenance fund for Xuanjing Apartment.Around eleven o'clock, a Mercedes-Benz commercial vehicle parked outside the gate of the apartment, but Li Kun didn't intend to ask the driver to follow.

"The less people know about this, the better." He explained: "When you arrive at the hotel, just say that you are my friends on vacation. The driver can't take it with you. Their ears are sharper than rabbits."

So the problem came out - it was about 6 hours' drive from here to City A, and more than 3% of the whole journey was on high speed.Li Kun, the embroidered pillow, said that he can only drive it for [-] hours in a row, and the rest will be shared by others.

Bai Xiuqi expressed that he would not mind helping to drive. The only problem is that he does not have a driver's license yet, and he doesn't know who is on the left or right on the brake pedal.

"Success." Jiang Chenglu nodded, "I'll drive it, six hours is a joke."

"Why do you know how to drive?"

"Why not? Brother is a dignified A photo, let's go?"

After talking, the three of them got into the car.In the beginning, Li Kun was driving the car, but when he got off the expressway around the city and arrived at the first rest stop, he complained that his eyes hurt and stopped to rest.Everyone went down to buy some supplies, and when they set off again, Jiang Chenglu was already driving, and Bai Xiuqi was sitting in the passenger seat.

Jiang Chenglu's driving skills are really good, and the quality of the car is also good, and he never honks randomly or changes lanes at will.Bai Xiuqi couldn't help being curious and asked him when he learned to drive.The answer I got was a vague "a long time ago", and the purpose of learning to drive is to cope with the situation like now.

"In order to try to deal with those ghosts during the day as much as possible, I usually drive at night. However, there are also many strange things to be seen on the highway at night."

Then, Jiang Chenglu began to tell the story.First came the sudden heavy fog, then the Japanese soldiers of World War II walking on the highway, then the knocking sound from the trunk, and the windshield wiper suddenly turned into a child's hand...

He talked one after another like this, occasionally stopping to drink water when he was tired, while Bai Xiuqi took on the important task of listening to the story, and handed over the mineral water bottle.
