Strange Tales: The Yin-Yang Celestial Master

The next day Qi Buyang's cold was completely cured, so he kept his good habit of going to bed early and getting up early, and got up energetically early in the morning. After meditating as usual, he went to the yard to stretch and kick his legs while breathing fresh air. Just feel refreshed.

After a while, Butler Qi asked him to have breakfast, and then he remembered, why did Luo Lang, who was supposed to have seen it when he opened his eyes last night, disappeared?

So he asked Butler Qi, "Where's Mr. Luo?"

Butler Qi thought for a while, "I didn't see it, it's probably still in the room."

Qi Buyang let him go first, and ran to knock on Luo Lang's door by himself, "Mr. Luo, are you awake?"

There was no movement inside, so he knocked again, "Mr. Luo, it's time to get up."

After a long time, the door finally opened, and Luo Lang came out frowning, his expression not very good, his hair that was usually loosely tied into a bundle was also messy, some of them were even curled up here and there, looking very embarrassed.

Qi Buyang stared at him blankly, and after a while he remembered to ask: "...Mr. Luo, what's wrong with you?"

"Can't you see?" Luo Lang's tone was very calm, but there was a piercing smile on his face, "I only came back to sleep in the early morning, and now you woke me up."

Qi Buyang didn't expect that he didn't sleep all night, and suddenly felt extremely guilty, "I'm sorry..."

However, his apology was probably useless. Luo Lang's expression did not soften. Instead, he took out the wild ginseng tree, waved it in front of his eyes, and said slowly, "I don't plan to return this thing. I want to eat it myself." it."

"No, no!" Qi Buyang quickly waved his hands and said, "Mr. Luo, I just came to tell you about this matter. Let's go back to the ancestral house to return the ginseng? Come back now!"

"Didn't you hear? I won't pay it back."

Qi Buyang tried his best to persuade: "Ginseng is terrible, it's better to eat osmanthus cake made by Grandma Gui. The osmanthus tree in the ancestral house should be blooming these days."

Luo Lang thought about it and agreed.

So the two had breakfast, Qi Buyang explained a few words to the housekeeper, and then got into the car with Luo Lang to go back to the ancestral house.

When he went back this time, he only said that he missed his grandpa, so he came back to see the old man, but old monster Qi didn't like the excitement, so he went back to his room to rest alone after seeing him.Qi Buyang asked Luo Lang to send back the medicinal materials of his grandfather, and he couldn't wait to get into the compound of the ancestral house by himself.

Along the stone road, he walked through one familiar courtyard after another, including a few remote courtyards, and quickly walked around the ancestral house, but he didn't find the courtyard with towering giant trees.Qi Buyang was not reconciled, and wanted to start all over again. Halfway through this time, he met Granny Gui and Luo Lang.

"Young Master, where were you just now? Look, my mother-in-law made osmanthus cake and wanted Xiao Luo to send it to you." Granny Gui gave him the rest of the osmanthus cake with a smile, remembering what happened when he was a child , joked again: "Xiao Luo said you disappeared, I thought you were lost at home like before."

Hearing the old man mention this, Qi Buyang's heart moved, thinking that he might be able to find a clue, he quickly asked her: "Grandma, do you remember that there used to be a yard with a big locust tree here?"

"Big locust tree?" The old man was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Oh, there are so many yards here, my mother-in-law can't remember clearly."

"That's it." He was a little disappointed, as expected, it was too difficult to find it with the vague memory of his childhood.

At this time, Luo Lang suddenly said: "Yangyang, your ginseng..."

"Mr. Luo!" Qi Buyang hurriedly interrupted, and said to Granny Gui: "Grandma, you go and rest first, Mr. Luo and I are strolling in the yard."

"Okay, okay, you young people should move more, don't stay in the house all the time." Granny Gui nodded, turned and left.

Qi Buyang then asked Luo Lang: "Mr. Luo, have you put everything back?"

"Of course." Luo Lang smiled confidently.

"That's good." Just as he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, Luo Lang said again: "I put the ginseng and pills on your grandfather's bedside table, so he can see them when he wakes up."

"..." Qi Buyang froze on the spot with his mouth open, it was over, grandpa would definitely be angry, he thought desperately, really can't expect Luo Lang to do normal things.But now, he couldn't care less about how to admit his mistake. He wanted to walk again, hoping to discover the mysterious courtyard this time.

Luo Lang ate osmanthus cake and idly followed him. Seeing him wandering around aimlessly, he took the time to remind him: "If you keep walking around like this, be careful not to get lost."

"This is my own home, how can I get lost." Qi Buyang said indifferently.

"Really? You've never lost your way here before?" Luo Lang smiled inexplicably, and added: "This yard is not simple."

Qi Buyang just wanted to reply: That's because I was not familiar with it when I was a child.But suddenly realized that there was something in Luo Lang's words, he stopped quickly and said, "You mean there is a problem with the ancestral house?"

Luo Lang swallowed a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake noncommittally, and asked him slowly, "What are you looking for?"

"A courtyard." Qi Buyang thought for a while, and decided to tell him: "When I was young, I found a small courtyard here because I lost my way, but I can't find it anymore, even if I searched the entire ancestral house. use."

Luo Lang shrugged, "It's a small yard, just forget it if you can't find it."

"I must find it!" Qi Buyang said firmly, trying to explain to him the reason for his insistence: "In that small courtyard, I saw a woman, a...very gentle woman," he was a little excited when he said this , blushing slightly, "I think...she, maybe she...may be my mother!"

"Your mother?" Luo Lang raised his eyebrows, "Isn't your mother already dead?"

"Yes, that's why I want to find her, I want to know what's going on!" Qi Buyang said stubbornly.

Luo Lang didn't speak any more, concentrated on eating the last piece of pastry, then turned sideways, faced the center of the house, drew a circle to signal him: "The core part of this house has been sealed, if I guess correctly If it is, there should be those tricks of your celestial masters, so every time you pass by, you will just go around without noticing, and you will never get to the middle."

"Tianshi's tricks?...Could it be Qimen Dunjia?"

Luo Lang pouted.

Qi Buyang suddenly realized: "So the courtyard I saw before should be inside the seal and the Qimen formation, so I couldn't find it!" Finally he caught the breakthrough, he was excited for a while, suddenly thought of something, and then drooped down Shoulder, "But I'm good at formations and talismans. I'm still a novice in seals and Qimen Dunjia. I can't even tell that the ancestral house has been tampered with. How can I untie it..."

He looked at Luo Lang, his eyes lit up, and he asked quickly, "Mr. Luo, can you explain it?"

Luo Lang didn't answer, just staring at the sweet-scented osmanthus cake in his hand that he didn't have time to eat.

"...All of mine are for you." Qi Buyang said helplessly.

"It can be solved." Luo Lang said immediately, and then stared at the sweet-scented osmanthus cakes until he took the initiative to offer them with both hands, and then added: "But I can only unlock the seal, I don't understand your Qimen Dunjia."

"..." Qi Buyang was disappointed again.

Luo Lang ate the pastry cheated over, and seeing Qi Buyang's frowning expression, he suggested, "Why don't you ask Qi Xiaoguai? He must have made these things."

"You can't ask grandpa." Qi Buyang shook his head, "When grandpa found out about the time I broke in by accident, he scolded me, and when I went to look for it later, I couldn't find even a trace. I think, grandpa You definitely don’t want me to know about it, if you ask him, not only won’t tell me, maybe he will drive me back.”

"What are you going to do?"

After thinking about it for a while, Qi Buyang made a decision, "Mr. Luo, you have to help me unlock the seal, and the rest..." He clenched his fist and said, "I will figure it out myself."

So, that day, Qi Buyang went to the library of his ancestral house to collect a lot of ancient books on Qimen Dunjia, and planned to take them all back for study. Seeing that he was interested in learning more, Qi Buyang didn't say anything, and even tacitly allowed him to take away some advanced books. Banned books.

Qimen Dunjia is extensive and profound, and most of the contents recorded in the book are obscure and difficult to understand. It is because of this that Qi Buyang read very little before, and only knows some superficial common sense.But now he has the motivation, in order to find the hidden courtyard, or to confirm the almost impossible guess in his heart-his mother, so after returning, he began to study behind closed doors.

He was originally talented and intelligent, especially in the field of celestial masters. After such hard work, it only took him half a month to find the way to crack it, which probably didn't even occur to Old Monster Qi.The reason why he chose to use Qimen Dunjia and seals to hide the courtyard was because Qi Buyang's skills in calculating these two things were very shallow. In this way, he didn't deliberately make it too complicated when setting up the formation, so that he is still being used by this grandson. Vulnerability found.

As soon as he found a way to break the formation, Qi Buyang called Luo Lang, and only told Butler Qi that he was going out to do some errands, and the two quietly returned to the ancestral house without even being informed by Old Monster Qi, fearing that their grandpa would guess their purpose.

At this time, it was almost dusk, they went straight through the front yard and walked slowly inwards, when they were almost there, Luo Lang stopped Qi Buyang, "This is it."

Qi Buyang stopped and looked around, seeing nothing special, and looked at Luo Lang suspiciously.Luo Lang smiled, took him to a small tree in the corner, counted the ninth branch from bottom to top, grabbed his hand and touched the top of the tree. As if nothing exists.

Qi Buyang opened his eyes wide in surprise, and touched the other branches, but there was nothing abnormal, only the ninth branch seemed to be nothing, and he couldn't touch it no matter what.

Luo Lang told him that this kind of seal is actually a form of enchantment. If you meet someone with much higher mana than the sealer, it will be useless at all, and you can see through it at a glance, so this formation is used to block the Qi family, because The Qi old monster who applied the seal is the person with the highest mana in the Qi family.

I don't know what Luo Lang did, but he snapped his fingers. At that moment, Qi Buyang seemed to see everything around him distorted like a wave, and then quickly returned to its original shape, which made him wonder if he was dazzled.

Luo Lang smiled confidently at him, "Try touching again."

Qi Buyang stretched out his hand, hesitated, and slowly approached the branch, and this time he touched it!He couldn't help moving his fingers. He still couldn't believe it, but the touch was very real.Luo Lang pinched his chin and forced him to turn his head to look at the wall next to the tree. A plum blossom-shaped doorway suddenly appeared on the empty wall, and Qi Buyang's mouth suddenly opened into an O shape.

"Let's go, the seal has been lifted, the rest is up to you." Luo Lang took his hand and walked towards the door.
