Celestial Master I

When Yu Qian returned to the agency, her manager told her that the so-called urgent matter was just preparations for a reception at night. Gu Cheng was also invited to attend, and her female companion was Qiu Liyan.

Her manager might be afraid that she would lose her composure, so she greeted her in advance, and even politely offered to help her turn down the engagement, but she refused.

She wasn't ready to be jealous in public, especially after she'd just caught a better beetle.

In the evening, Gu Cheng and Qiu Liyan attended the reception, Qiu Liyan was dressed up glamorously, but Gu Cheng looked downcast.Normally, this kind of reception with beauties like clouds is his favorite, but tonight he couldn't cheer up at all, if he wasn't afraid of seeing weird visions when he was alone, he wouldn't accept Qiu Liyan's invitation.

There are so many people with strong yang energy, even a ghost would not dare to commit murder, he thought delusionally.

"You don't seem to be in a good state tonight. If you don't feel well, don't be brave. If you want to support your girlfriend, don't be in a hurry."

Gu Cheng came out of the bathroom and bumped into Yu Qian in the corridor, seeing the woman's smug face, he admired her fickleness very much.

"I am fine."

"Really? But just now I saw that your hand holding the wine glass seemed to be shaking."

If there is a blood-red monster always flashing back and forth in front of you, I believe no one can be at ease, right?

Never thought Yu Qian's smile was so disgusting, as if she was laughing at his bad luck.

Gu Cheng turned cold, and said: "I warn you, don't try to curse me, I'm very good, better than ever!"

"what are you talking about?"

Yu Qian was a little dazed, she was just greeting with kindness, the other party didn't appreciate it, why did she still act like a cannibal?

Gu Chengzheng was indignant, his eyes glanced over the crystal wall behind Yu Qian inadvertently, and he was shocked to find that the red-clothed monster was crouching on her shoulder, the blood flowed from his half-closed mouth, dripping onto her evening dress, a piece of iron The chain passed through his white hand bones and wrapped around the woman's neck, but he was looking at him with blood red eyes, and even showed a weird smile.

"The collar seems to be tight."

Seeing Yu Qian pulling her neckline with discomfort on her face, Gu Cheng was terrified, covered her mouth and tried to stop the screaming, turned around and ran.

"What's wrong?"

Gu Cheng's terrified eyes made Yu Qian very uncomfortable, she turned her head to look behind her, and there was no flaw on the smooth crystal wall.

If you break up, you break up. Is it necessary to act like a ghost?The bastard's expression just now was really vivid, he's too talented not to be in the entertainment industry.

But having said that, Nie Xingfeng also had a weird expression after getting out of the car today.

Thinking of seeing Nie Xingfeng's strange expression in the rear-view mirror, Yu Qian thought suspiciously.

It was nearly midnight when the reception ended, and the manager called a taxi for Yu Qian. The driver was a middle-aged bald man, who kept sneaking glances at her from the rear-view mirror along the way. It was different from the usual crazy eyes of fans, it was a kind of inquiring look , making her very uncomfortable.After getting off the car, Yu Qian hurried into the apartment after paying the money, not even taking the money the other party gave her.

Yu Qian's apartment is on the tenth floor of the building, and there are no other buildings nearby. The reason why she chose this place was to avoid the sneak shots of the paparazzi. After a tiring day, she needed a quiet place.

After returning home, she took a shower, and when she returned to her bedroom, Yu Qian suddenly saw a little black cat squatting on the balcony outside. Just now, she opened the balcony door to enjoy the shade, and only closed a screen door.

At first she thought it was because she was delusional, and it was impossible for a small animal to come to such a high balcony, but then she realized that she was right, it was really a black cat, hiding in the dark, almost mingling with the dark night One body, the cat's eyes emit a strange light under the light, and at first glance, it looks like a will-o'-the-wisp in the cemetery.

Yu Qian hurriedly ran to the balcony, but the cat was gone.She walked around the balcony and moved the potted plants in the corner, but she couldn't find the cat, so she turned back to her room and locked the balcony door.

Maybe it's those prank shows that have been popular recently, which make the stars into a mess and talk to please the audience.

Yu Qian guessed angrily, and closed the floor-to-ceiling curtains. She didn't believe that the host of the prank show dared to take pictures through the window.

She returned to the bedroom, took out Nie Xingfeng's business card from her purse, and prepared to enter his phone number into her mobile phone for future contact.

Compared with Gu Cheng, this calm and prudent man seems a bit boring, but if you want to marry, such a man is more reliable, so it is necessary to take the initiative to pursue him.

The phone rang, and the screen showed that it was Qiu Liyan. Thinking of her smug expression at the reception, Yu Qian was very upset and hesitated for a while before answering the call.

As soon as she got connected, Qiu Liyan hurriedly explained: "Qiqian, have you misunderstood me and Gu Cheng? In fact, we are just friends, we just had a few meals together, don't trust those paparazzi's nonsense."

Yu Qian already had other plans, so she was not so attached to Gu Cheng. She and Qiu Liyan belonged to the same entertainment company, and she didn't want to make the relationship stiff, so she said casually: "You think too much, actually I have nothing to do with Gu Cheng, both A gimmick made out of those gossip news.”

"But, I heard that you two seemed to have quarreled at the reception." Qiu Liyan obviously didn't believe it.

Originally, Gu Cheng promised to take her home after the reception, but he changed his mind midway and made an appointment with some friends to play mahjong all night. She heard that Gu Cheng had a dispute with Yu Qian, so she called to find out the truth.

"There's no quarrel, it's Gu Cheng who is going crazy alone..."

A sudden sharp meow interrupted Yu Qian's words.

"What's wrong?"

"Damn it, a stray cat came from nowhere."

Distraught by the weird cry, Yu Qian stood up angrily, and wanted to go out to drive the cat away. When she turned around, she suddenly saw a red shadow flashing past in the makeup mirror beside her.

"Are you kidding, cats can't climb up where you live."

Ignoring Qiu Liyan's joke, Yu Qian looked at the mirror with lingering fear. She did indeed see something reflected on it just now.

There is a coat hanger behind, perhaps a projection of the hanger.

She had just finished comforting herself when she suddenly saw a strand of black hair hanging down in the mirror, and then a pale face under the black hair was reflected in the mirror, with bloodshot eyes fixed on her.

"what……"

The phone was thrown far away in extreme panic, Yu Qian staggered back and sat on the edge of the bed.

Qiu Liyan's call came from the other end of the phone: "What happened?"

"fine……"

Yu Qian was still in shock, and quickly looked around, but there was nothing. Could it be that the thing just now was a prop made by the whole crew?

What was reflected in the mirror was her own pale face, Yu Qian took a deep breath, and walked over to pick up the phone.

There was a foul smell, followed by a chill on the neck, as if there were raindrops falling, the floor also dripped raindrops, and a few drops fell on the phone, thick, bright red raindrops...

Blood!

Yu Qian screamed and scrambled to run out of the room, but when she looked up, she saw a man in red staring straight at her from the bright mirror.

His face was covered with blood scars, and he couldn't see clearly, only heard the stern laughter like a night owl.

"Yu Qianniang, we finally met..."

"Help, help!"

Only half of the tongue remained between the opened and closed mouth of the man in red, what he said was very unclear, but Yu Qian understood.

The leg was grabbed by a dead bone, it was the palm of the man, which gripped her ankle and dragged it outward, and her breathing stopped immediately. Yu Qian saw a thick iron chain wrapped around her neck from the vanity mirror.

"Ahem, let go..."

"No, I won't let go of any of them!"

The sound of hideous laughter echoed in the silent space, and the snow-white hand bones tightly locked Yu Qian's ankles and dragged them outward.

The vanity mirror was shattered into several pieces by the laughter, and an extremely crazy woman was reflected in the shattered pieces of glass. Moving outside, however, struggling under the curse seemed so weak, her feet were pulled by an invisible gravitational force, and she kept dragging towards the balcony.

"What's wrong with you? Sissy..."

Qiu Liyan's panicked voice kept coming from the other end of the phone, and it was Yu Qian's last cry that answered her.

"Li Xianting..."

Before she died, she suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and a clear man's face suddenly appeared in front of Yu Qian's eyes, and the past was quickly reversed like a film reel.

Finally, she knew who the person who wanted to put her to death was, and she also understood why Nie Xingfeng said that she looked familiar, but she never had a chance to tell the reason.

Yu Qian's body flew up into the air with her screams, and after smashing through the glass door of the balcony, she flipped outwards. Her hands could barely struggle on the edge of the balcony before losing control. Grab her tightly and pull her down continuously...

"Miss Yu was really weird last night. I noticed something was wrong with her since she got in the car. I'm a fan of hers. I originally wanted to ask her to sign an autograph, but seeing her bad complexion, I gave up the idea..."

Nie Xingfeng sat in front of the TV, silently watching the taxi driver describing the interview camera.

When he got up in the morning, he saw the news that Yu Qian fell to her death from a building. In an instant, he remembered the weird picture of Yu Qian being chained yesterday.

Maybe it was not an illusion but a sign, telling him that Yu Qian was doomed to die from then on.

The reporter interrupted the driver's chatter, "Then sir, why did you say Ms. Yu was weird then?"

"Because she kept staring at my rearview mirror after getting in the car, pinched her neck with her hand, and made a very weird smile."

The driver put his hand around his neck and made a tight pinch.

"It should be very hard for ordinary people to pinch their own neck like this, but Ms. Yu keeps laughing, isn't that weird? I guess she must be rebellious..."

The screen changed to Yu Qian's bachelor apartment, which was also the scene of her death.

The bedroom was in a mess, the entire surface of the vanity mirror was smashed to pieces, some fragments were stained with blood, and there were several deep scratches on the floor, extending from the bedroom to the front of the balcony door. The blood on the scratches was proved to be residual. Akane's.

Yu Qian fell from the building with her head on her head and died on the spot. The scene has been cordoned off. The few flashing shots in the news are quite blurry, and then there is a close-up of the place where Yu Qian fell. Look, it looks like a burglary and homicide case, but judging from the taxi driver's testimony and the locked door of the house and other signs, she seems to have committed suicide.

"In fact, no one has noticed the third possibility—that there is a ghost. We just got an important piece of information. Before Yu Qian died, a black cat appeared on the balcony of her house. Cats represent evil, darkness and death, especially on the balcony of such a high apartment, isn’t the appearance of a black cat very strange? So we have reason to believe that there is a supernatural theory about Yu Qian’s death.”

A beautiful girl was chatting in front of the camera, and she then turned the microphone to a boy wearing gold-rimmed glasses, who continued: "Spirituality is actually everywhere, and we should not stubbornly deny it just because we can't see it. Although……"

Nie Xingfeng threw the remote control aside, took the mobile phone and turned it on, ignored Henry Zhang’s series of harassing calls, and directly dialed the call to Feng Qingqing.

As soon as he connected, he yelled, "What are you doing? Why did you go to Yu Qian's apartment for an interview?"

There was a cheer from there.

"Did you see me? Am I very photogenic? We are not doing interviews, but doing research. Have you seen the man with glasses? His name is Chu Ge, and he is the leader of our supernatural group..."

"Where did you hear about the black cat?" Interrupting the nonsense, Nie Xingfeng cut directly to the topic.

Feng Qingqing's voice dropped a few decibels immediately.

"Senior Chu has acquaintances in the police station, and he found out the inside information. It seems that Yu Qian talked to Qiu Liyan on the phone before the accident and said that he saw the black cat. Don't you find it strange? The black cat in the painting in my house just disappeared. There is a murder case here, could it really be that cat? It's too scary..."

"Aside from black cats, what else are you talking about?"

"No... oh, yes, it seems that Yu Qian finally had a name called Li, and we only found out so much. You must not tell the outside world. Let the people in our team know that I leaked the secret, and they will kill me. mine."

Surname Li?black cat?

Nie Xingfeng was terrified, recalling the scene in Feng's residence that night, he felt as if he had caught something, but he couldn't link it up for the time being.

After hanging up the phone, the ringtone rang immediately, it was Henry Zhang’s persistent harassing call.

Nie Xingfeng hesitated for a moment, then turned off the phone.

At this time, he needs someone to calm down and think carefully. If that guy is not a magic stick, he can be flexible, but now he subconsciously hates people like magic sticks and celestial masters.

He hurriedly changed his coat and went out to the city library.

This is the largest and oldest library in the city, maybe he can find something here that can solve his doubts.

There are very few people in the ancient book library of the library, which makes Nie Xingfeng feel naive. With a history of 5000 years, where should he start looking for criminal cases?

Cutting in half was abolished in the Yongzheng era. If that person really died in cutting in half as Henry Zhang said, he should at least be a person before the Qing Dynasty.

Nie Xingfeng came to the cabinet of the Ming Dynasty series and flipped through some books, but found nothing except wasting a few hours of time.

He put the books back on the bookshelf, and walked along the cabinets again. When he reached the corner, he suddenly found that a row on the bookshelf was mostly empty.

There was a pile of books in front of a man in the reading place, which seemed to have been taken from this shelf. Nie Xingfeng looked at the catalog of nearby documents, and they were related to the early Ming Dynasty and official prisons.

The man was flipping through in a hurry, as if he was looking for something, and soon, the pages stopped. The man read for a long time, and finally closed the book, took off his glasses, and leaned back on the chair with his eyes closed.

Nie Xingfeng took the book in his hand, and sat opposite the man. The man stood tall, with a sharp chin, and he carried the shrewdness unique to a businessman in his gentle manner.

He looks familiar, but Nie Xingfeng is sure that he is not from the business world. A man has an elegant temperament, but it is a pity that his anxious expression has destroyed that temperament.

The man got up and returned the books to the original place, and left in a hurry. Nie Xingfeng's eyes fell on the seat, and he found a black briefcase left there.

He hurriedly picked up his briefcase and chased after him, and stopped the man before the escalator.

"Sir, you forgot something."

The moment the man turned his head and saw him, a look of fear immediately appeared on his face. He swayed and almost fell off the escalator. Nie Xingfeng quickly reached out to grab him.

"Be careful."

"thanks."

The man took the briefcase, but it was so strong that it almost seemed like he had snatched it. He was flustered as he thanked him. Instead of taking the elevator, he turned around and walked towards the stairs.

It was obvious that the man was in extreme panic now, and his appearance deepened his fear.

"Mister looks familiar, have we met before?"

"No, we have never met before, I have something urgent, please let me go."

The man rudely pushed Nie Xingfeng away and hurried down the stairs.

There is an intuition that a man knows himself, his eyes give everything away, but who is he?Why, like myself, went to the library to search for literature?

His eyes inadvertently glanced at the newspaper rack in the corner, Nie Xingfeng's eyes lit up, and he suddenly remembered the entertainment newspapers he had read that night when he was bored.

He remembered that this man had appeared in the lace photos of Gu Cheng and several celebrities. He stood beside Qiu Liyan, covering her from the paparazzi's stalking interviews.

It's Qiu Liyan's manager, that's the only explanation.

Qiu Liyan was interrogated by the police. As her manager, she didn't stand in her way, but ran here to look up ancient books. Isn't it funny?

Nie Xingfeng quickly turned back to the place where the man returned the books just now, took out all the books, and found the book that he suspected was the last one he read. , Prison and other cases.

Nie Xingfeng flipped through the pages casually, and his eyes fell on one of the pages.

Emperor Wu Zong's wanderings and pleasures, his violent nature, led to frequent turmoil. In the fifth year of Zhengde, Zhu Zhiyu, the king of Anhua in Shaanxi Province, rebelled and imprisoned thousands of people.

There are official names listed below. When he saw the name of Flying Cavalry General Li Xianting, Nie Xingfeng's hand holding the book trembled suddenly.

Li Yue, courtesy name Xianting, commanded envoys, was brave and good at fighting, and was known as a flying cavalry general. Later, he was tired of Zhu Zhijiu's rebellion.

There are not many records about Li Xianting in the book. It is only said that he has a handsome face and is known as a Confucian general. This reminds Nie Xingfeng of the face of the man in his dream.

With a light coat and a smile on his face, he is more like a scholar than a general.

If he is Li Xianting, then it can be consistent with what is recorded in the book.

Nie Xingfeng didn't know much about ancient official titles. After looking it up, he found out that the commander of the capital is equivalent to the current highest military officer in the locality. Li Xianting is known as a flying cavalry general. Death is also unknown.

The grievances and capital punishment caused Li Xianting's resentment to linger after his death, so that he could not reincarnate and became an evil spirit.

So, what does all this have to do with Qiu Liyan's manager?

After leaving the library, Nie Xingfeng immediately called his younger brother Nie Ruiting.

"Help me find the name and phone number of Qiu Liyan's manager."

There was an ambiguous laugh on the other side, "Qiu Liyan? That little star?"

"Yes, hurry up!"

On the way to wait for the call, Nie Xingfeng checked the incoming call and the message, and Henry Zhang’s name was displayed line by line. The first thing in the message was a big fist, followed by writing: I can’t figure out your location, which proves that you are now It's dangerous. Lucky cats don't have nine lives. I'll wait for you at your door, come back right away!

From the frequency of the incoming call, it can be seen how anxious the little Taoist priest is. I wonder if he is still stupidly waiting for someone at the door.

Suddenly there was an indescribable warmth in my heart.

For the sake of him being a little Taoist priest with a conscience, please forgive him.

Nie Xingfeng stared at the screen for a long time, suddenly laughed, and dialed the phone. Unfortunately, the opposite was a voice message with the phone turned off.

At this moment, Nie Ruiting's call came in.

"Qiu Liyan's agent is Zhu Yao, and his phone number is ××××××××××, you like Qiu Liyan? What about Henry Zhang..."

Nie Xingfeng hung up the phone.

Giving up on the idea of ​​calling Henry Zhang back, he called Zhu Yao first, but a girl answered the phone. He was taken aback for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "Excuse me, is this Mr. Zhu Yao's phone?"

Girls are impatient.

"Who are you? If you want to see me, just say so. Don't use Zhu Yao as an excuse. I haven't seen him since last night."

"You are...Miss Qiu?"

Nie Xingfeng suddenly understood why his younger brother smiled so ambiguously just now, that stupid guy must have thought that he was interested in Qiu Liyan, so he found an excuse to ask Zhu Yao for a call.

Qiu Liyan's voice sounded tired.

"I am, but I'm not in the mood to chat today, so call another day."

"Wait, I'm Gu Cheng's friend. He heard that you are in trouble, but he can't contact you directly now, so let me greet you."

Nie Xingfeng understood Gu Cheng's character very well. When he was in trouble, he hid faster than anyone else, and would never take the initiative to look for Qiu Liyan, so he said tentatively.

Qiu Liyan really believed it. Few people knew her phone number, so she thought it was Gu Cheng who cared about her, so she asked someone to ask her, her tone softened immediately.

"He's really well informed. Please tell him that I'm fine. I'm just annoyed by those policemen. Fortunately, they promised not to leak the information..."

"So Yu Qian really talked to you on the phone before the accident?"

"Yeah, it's too scary. The murderer must be a perverted maniac. He might have brought the black cat. Fortunately, Yu Qian finally called out his name. I hope the police can catch him as soon as possible. No, I'd better go first." It's better to go to the temple to pray..."

Thinking of what happened last night, Qiu Liyan began to tremble, and talked intermittently for a long time before she gave a general idea.

There was one thing that she didn't mention to the police. In fact, besides Yu Qian's distressed cry for help, she also heard a very strange panting and moaning sound, which was hard to describe in words. She was so frightened that she wanted to hang up the phone on the spot. , but nothing can be turned off.

Sometimes not being able to see is more terrifying than seeing. She almost fainted from fright at the time, and the police kept asking her for various details. Fortunately, the boss stayed with her all the time, so the matter was handled in a low-key manner.But at this critical moment, her manager was nowhere to be seen. She thought angrily that she would definitely terminate the contract with him in the future, so she didn't want such an irresponsible manager.

After hearing Qiu Liyan's complaints, Nie Xingfeng asked, "Is Yu Qian's name Li Xianting?"

"Yeah, how do you know?"

The deduction was finally confirmed, but Nie Xingfeng was not at all happy. He asked Zhu Yao's phone number, and was about to hang up the phone when a violent panting suddenly echoed in his ears. His hands trembled, and the phone almost fell to the ground.

He collected himself, and then dialed the number, and the ring was connected after a few rings.

"Mr. Zhu? My name is Nie Xingfeng. There is something I want to talk to you about."

Zhu Yao's answer was unexpectedly calm.

"I found you so quickly. You are worthy of being the director of the Nie family. If you want to know about Li Xianting, come to my villa and I will tell you."

He told Nie Xingfeng the address of the villa, made an appointment to meet at the villa in the evening after finishing work, and hung up the phone.

It was only past two o'clock in the afternoon, and Nie Xingfeng turned off his mobile phone, planning to go to eat first.

When the car dealership came to a red light, he heard cries from a small fried chicken shop on the side of the road. Nie Xingfeng turned his head to look, and suddenly found a small acquaintance inside.

The shop was open, and one could clearly see the scene inside. Huo Li was busy throwing chicken nuggets into the pan for frying, and his movements were extremely skillful.

Nie Xingfeng immediately turned the car to a nearby parking space and rushed into the fried chicken shop.

The small restaurant is not big, but it is very clean. When Huo Li saw him, he smiled sweetly, and said crisply, "Hello, Chairman."

Being shot at by everyone in the store at the same time, Nie Xing felt ashamed for the first time.

The high-end suit I was wearing didn't go well with a snack bar, but Huo Li yelled so loudly that it was impossible for others not to pay attention.

He quickly leaned over and whispered, "Just call me Big Brother Nie, don't call me Chairman."

"Okay, anyway, my elder brother was also fired by you, so there is no need to call you the chairman."

Even if he didn't turn his head, Nie Xingfeng could clearly feel a dozen pairs of contemptuous gazes behind him. Apparently, all the guests thought that the kid was working here to make ends meet, and the reason was because he fired employees at will.

Huo Li's beautiful eyes were crescent-shaped, and he was still asking, "You haven't eaten yet, have you? Our fried chicken is definitely the most authentic. Come have a fried chicken rice, I treat you."

Three thick black lines immediately appeared on Nie Xingfeng's forehead.

Xiao Shenzhu's younger brother is as good as he is - completely insane.

The little fox led the unlucky chairman to an empty seat and sat down. During this period, Nie Xingfeng experienced another baptism of throwing knives in his eyes.After sitting down, a cup of tea was slammed down, he raised his head, and saw a man who looked like a boss staring at him coldly.

While Huo Li was running to serve the meal, Nie Xingfeng asked him, "Why do you let children work here? It is against the law to employ child labor."

"It's better than firing someone else, Your Excellency."

After the boss finished choking, he turned and left, leaving Nie Xingfeng, whose face turned blue and white, to continue to accept the contempt of everyone.

After the fried chicken rice was served, Huo Li ran to the frying pan to fry the chicken again. Judging by the skillful technique, he was obviously used to it.

However, this doesn't seem to have anything to do with him firing Henry Zhang. The little magic stick is too much, no matter how much he likes money, he can't let his brother do child labor...

The fried chicken rice tasted really good, but it was a pity that Nie Xingfeng didn't know how to eat it, and he managed to finish the most embarrassing meal in his life under the angry stares of everyone.

The restaurant was a little more relaxed than before, Huo Li handed over the rest of the work to the boss, poured a glass of Coke, and brought it to Nie Xingfeng.

"Director... No, brother Nie, have a drink."

The little guy was very enthusiastic, and he didn't take his firing of his family to heart at all, which made Nie Xingfeng ashamed.

"Stop doing things here, you should go to school when you are still young, I will reconsider Henry Zhang's matter."

"Really?"

Huo Li's eyes sparkled, and he smiled like a crescent moon again.

"That's great. My brother doesn't have to look for a job like he did yesterday. He said that it's too hard to find a job now, especially when there is no company like Nie's that has good salary, good benefits, and is easy to mess with."

It turns out that his company is defined like this in Henry Zhang’s heart?

Not seeing the three bright black lines on Nie Xingfeng's forehead, the little fox continued: "It's summer vacation, it's too boring to stay at home, so I came here to help Boss Liang, I like to work here, as long as I can smell As far as the taste of chicken chops goes, it’s okay to not pay wages, but the boss is very nice and pays wages, unlike the chairman of the Nie family, who always treats employees harshly and fires them... Ah, Brother Nie, I’m sorry, the last sentence It's what the elder brother said, it's none of my business..."

"I understand." Nie Xingfeng smiled slightly.

He decided to let Henry Zhang go back to work, and then treat him harshly in the long years to come!
