Strange Tales: The Yin-Yang Celestial Master

The emerald green jade dragon coils its head and tail in a guarding posture. The dragon's eyes are wide open and its dharma is solemn. The whole jade pendant is crystal clear and full of luster. flow.It's a pity that there are a few abrupt glass-like cracks - one of which is right across the joint between the dragon's head and the dragon's body, forcibly destroying the almost perfect appearance of the whole piece of jade.

Qi Buyang frowned and looked at Yulong.Six, and it had grown to six since the first crack, and he didn't even know how they got there.If the first crack is due to blocking the attack of the evil spirit, what are the other reasons?Anyway, after a period of time, when he took out the jade dragon to look at it again, he would find that there were a few more ugly cracks, and he didn't know if it was an illusion. He always felt that with the increase of cracks, the emerald color of the jade dragon also changed In a little bit of loss, although this change is subtle, it can still be noticed after a long time.

But compared to the jade pendant, what troubled him more was the loss of his mana.That's right, it's all lost.The meager mana that he could use when fighting with the black suit a few days ago has completely disappeared now.No matter how much he tries to stimulate the aura, his body is always empty and there is no response. This is the first time he has encountered such a situation. The ability to draw close to him since he can remember is suddenly gone, and he doesn't know the reason. This has to make him worry .Mana is both a weapon and a shield for a celestial master. Without these things, a celestial master is just an ordinary person.

He searched through all the records of the Qi family's ancestors, and only found one similar case. It was a very old ancestor who was seriously ill. Due to his extreme weakness, he was no longer able to cast spells in the last few months.But now that he is young and healthy, why did he lose all his mana for no reason?Is it because the 17-year contract expires in a few days, and even the body knows that he is going to die?

Thinking of this, Qi Buyang showed a wry smile.That’s right, he’s only been around for a few days, and why is he still researching the reason for the loss of mana.

"Yangyang, eat, eat." Luo Lang walked in lazily, interrupting his wild thoughts.

Qi Buyang hurriedly stuffed the jade pendant back into his clothes. Because of his guilty conscience, he didn't dare to look Luo Lang in the eyes, so he just bowed his head in response.Luo Lang leaned over and said, "You've been so secretive these two days, are you hiding what I'm doing?"

"No, no, no, no..." Qi Buyang was startled, and hastily denied it.

"Really do not have?"

Qi Buyang shook his head uncomfortably.

Luo Lang smiled meaningfully, dragged him to dinner, glanced at his chest intentionally or unintentionally when he turned around, and lightly said: "You can't hide your affairs from me."

Hearing this, Qi Buyang's heart skipped a beat, did he already know?Thinking about it carefully, it seems impossible.

Should I tell Luo Lang? This is a question he has repeatedly considered in the past few days. Every time he can't help but want to say it, he will think of Luo Lang's ghost-like appearance that day, and feel that there is a gap between himself and him. An insurmountable chasm, one can't even see his true appearance, besides, the 17-year period is coming soon, so perhaps one shouldn't rely on Luo Lang that much.Reason sounded the alarm for him, but—no matter what the reason was, in the past few months, Luo Lang has become the person he trusts the most, and this closeness and trust always urges him to ask Luo Lang Open your mouth.

"Mr. Luo." Before he could think about it, the words came out of his mouth.

"what?"

Qi Buyang pursed his lips, looked up at Luo Lang's half-smile expression, hesitated for a long time, "...it's nothing." In the end he still didn't say it.

Luo Lang raised his eyebrows, but didn't say anything.

During the meal, Qi Buyang pretended to casually ask Butler Qi: "Uncle Qi, if, I said if, if a celestial master loses all his mana, what should we do?"

This question made Butler Qi frowned, "If you are not familiar with the moves, you can still pass the acquired practice, but there is no way for spiritual power. The power of the celestial master comes from the blood, and it is passed down from the ancestors. Generally speaking, it is not Lost. What to do... I don’t know what to do, I’ve never seen such a situation.”

Qi Buyang nodded, not showing any disappointment in his heart, and he didn't want to tell Uncle Qi and grandpa about it, the 17-year agreement was enough for them to worry about, it's better not to add to their burden, and even if it was about It doesn't help either.

In the afternoon, Chu Yan called and said that he had found the address of the dead ghost's house, and he could go there now.Qi Buyang called the dead ghost out of the talisman. He was injured by the mahogany sword that day and insisted on going home. Later, he couldn't find a place and had to give up temporarily. He couldn't remember his name. I asked my friend who was a policeman to help me find out the clues. I have been busy for a few days, and now I finally have the result.

After a few days of recuperation, the spirit of the dead ghost has almost recovered, and when he heard the news of Chu Yan, he was in a different mood, and he was embarrassed to urge him, so he just stared at Qi Buyang with his eyes, wherever he went. , Qi Buyang was terrified by his stare, so he hurriedly took him out.

After reuniting with Chu Yan, he led the way to the community where the dead ghost lived. It was an old residential area. As he said, there was a small garden in front of the community, and a thin artificial stream flowed in the garden.

"It's here! It's here!" As soon as they arrived at the gate of the community, the dead ghost seemed to suddenly regain his memory, and led them through several old residential buildings and up the stairs familiarly.As he approached his home step by step, he couldn't hide his excitement, and kept saying to them: "Dongdong will definitely jump over and lick me when he sees me, making his face drool. , it can lick as long as it wants!"

Except for him and Luo Lang, the expressions of the others were not so relaxed. Qi Buyang and Chu Yan glanced at each other. They didn't know what to say to the dead ghost—at least a week had passed since his death. The dog is probably already...

"At that time, you should pet it too. Although Dongdong is a bit afraid of strangers, you will definitely like it! By the way, it will act like a baby with you..."

The happier he was, the less Qi Buyang and Chu Yan dared to speak out, and the heavier their hearts became.After searching for a place for so long, they finally stepped on the steps, but they felt that their steps weighed more than a thousand catties, and they only hoped that the cruel result would come later, later.

It's a pity that no matter how much they resisted in their hearts, the stairs were so short, and they soon climbed to the door of the dead ghost's house, and they faced another problem that they had never thought of before.

"Where's the key?"

"..." Several people looked at each other in blank dismay, all at a loss for this anti-theft door.

"Why don't you ask the security guard if there is a spare key?" This was Qi Buyang's idea.

"No, even if there is, he won't give it to us. Or ask the unlocking company directly?" This is what Chu Yan said, but he quickly rejected his proposal: "No, they will ask you to show the owner of the house. evidence of."

"Just push it down." Luo Lang said nonchalantly, what's so embarrassing about a door.

At this time, the dead ghost interjected: "...the spare key is in the crack above the eaves of the door."

"..."

According to what the crasher said, they found the key. As soon as they opened the door, they felt that something was stuck behind the door. They pushed it lightly, but they didn't push it. Carefully squeeze yourself in.

Luo Lang didn't want to do this, and was about to kick the door open, when Qi Buyang shouted, "Wait a minute!"

"Ok?"

A hand stretched out from behind the door and pulled him in through the crack. The process of squeezing the crack was very embarrassing and uncomfortable, so Luo Lang went in with a dark face, but he was still surprised when he saw the scene behind the door .

A dog, a scrawny dog, was lying at the door, with its head against the door panel, its ears on the ground, its flat belly rising and falling slowly with its breathing. It had reached the end of its life, but the moment it saw its owner , The already dead eyes suddenly lit up.It was so weak that it couldn't stand up, and couldn't even make a sound. It could only express its joy by patting the floor with its tail.

"Dongdong!" The dead ghost floated over, tears fell down at once, he floated beside Dongdong, but he couldn't touch it.Dongdong tried his best to arch his nose in the direction of his master, and patted his tail even more happily.

"I'm sorry...I'm sorry..." The Killing Ghost broke down in tears, "We promised to be together forever, but I left you alone...I'm sorry..."

Dongdong didn't say anything, just watched him silently with gentle eyes.Watching and watching, the wet eyes slowly closed, and the tail stopped wagging. They held their breath and waited for a while, and finally, the rising and falling of the belly stopped.

There was an unspeakable silence in the room, Qi Buyang sighed softly, feeling his heart was sore, and he was twisted into a ball.

"It's dead." Luo Lang was the first to break the silence.

Qi Buyang tugged his sleeve quietly, but Luo Lang didn't stop, but continued, "What are you upset about? Isn't its owner also dead?"

One sentence made the people in the room suddenly enlightened.

Chu Yan slapped his thigh, "That's right, if Dongdong also becomes a ghost, they can be together again!"

"Really? A dead dog will turn into a ghost, right?" the dead ghost asked Qi Buyang eagerly.

Qi Buyang nodded, a little embarrassed, he is a celestial master, he didn't expect this.

"Woof—" A loud dog barking sounded in the room, and a double image appeared on Dongdong's body, and then slowly walked out, turning into another Dongdong.It wagged its tail happily, ran towards its owner, threw itself on him and licked his drool all over his face, the dead ghost hugged his lost and recovered friend, there were still tears in his eyes, but he was already laughing out loud.

This is the first time seeing him smile.Qi Buyang thought silently.

The dead ghost found Dongdong, and Dongdong waited for the owner, and they decided to continue their life like they lived every day before.

I bid farewell to them downstairs, just in time to hear several neighbors sitting in the yard with small benches and chatting——

"Hey, why doesn't the man on the fourth floor take his dog out for a walk recently?"

"Don't you know? He died, it seems that he died in a car accident."

"What about the dog?"

"The dog must be dead too. I didn't hear the sound."

"Oh, what a pity."

"Yes."

They all showed sympathy on their faces and sighed for the unfamiliar neighbor.

Qi Buyang passed these people and looked at a person and a dog walking on the road. For some reason, looking at them would give him a satisfied and happy sense of stability.

It was their daily walk, like any other day, no different.

Thinking of this, Qi Buyang couldn't help smiling.

At the intersection, Chu Yan was about to go back, Qi Buyang told him: "You are welcome to visit Qi's house frequently in the future, but interviews are unnecessary."

Chu Yan patted his head in embarrassment, "I won't interview you any more. Some things should be kept in mind. As for the profession of celestial master, it's good for only a few people to know about it."

"Then your son...?"

"Compared to a paparazzi dad, is it more reliable to be a down-to-earth dad?" He said with a smile, paused, and added seriously: "One day, he will know what is truly great. .”

...

After walking away from Chu Yan for a while, two people in black suits walked up to them. Seeing them, Qi Buyang's heart tightened immediately, and he pulled Luo Lang to stop in place calmly.
