Strange Tales: The Yin-Yang Celestial Master

That night Qi Buyang was thinking about the funeral parlor, and wanted to go to watch another night, but Luo Lang told him that the curator had called and told him not to go tonight.

Qi Buyang was dubious, "Really? Why didn't I hear what Uncle Qi said?"

Master Luo didn't change his expression, "I picked it up, when you were sleeping in the morning."

"Really..." Seeing how sincerely he said it, Qi Buyang couldn't doubt it any longer, and climbed into bed obediently, still muttering in his heart before going to bed.

Luo Lang also went to bed, and these days he stayed in Qi Buyang's room, no matter how hard he tried to drive him away, he claimed that sleeping with Qi Buyang would improve his sleep quality.But Qi Buyang's bed is a single bed, and two big men lying on it will inevitably squeeze together. Qi Buyang has expressed this meaning many times euphemistically, but Master Luo has "generously" expressed that he does not dislike it, so he has no choice but to forced to accept this arrangement.

At first he found it awkward, the two slept so close that they were almost stuck together, and could even hear each other's breathing, but slowly, he got used to it, and it seemed that the quality of sleep really improved. It's getting better.The simple little celestial master thought naively.

Thinking so wildly, he gradually fell asleep.After an unknown amount of time, they were awakened by a hasty knock on the door.

"Master, master! Wake up, there is a call from the funeral parlor!" Butler Qi's voice came from behind the door.

Qi Buyang was startled, jumped up from the bed, hurriedly dressed, and opened the door with messy hair, "What's going on?"

"It seems that something happened again." Butler Qi handed the phone to Qi Buyang. Originally, he didn't want to disturb the young master, but this matter was unusual and urgent, so he had to wake up the young master in the middle of the night.When he came in and saw Luo Lang who was half sitting on the bed, the housekeeper's eyes flickered, and he did not hide his vigilance at all.

"Master Xiao Qi! Hurry up! The corpse is alive again! It's getting up from the mortuary bed now, come and take a look!" The curator's panicked voice came from the phone.

Qi Buyang responded, hung up the phone and left in a hurry.

"Where are you going?" Luo Lang grabbed his collar.

"Funeral home!" Qi Buyang didn't bother to explain.

At the side, Butler Qi has already skillfully brought over his usual talisman paper and tools, "The car is already waiting at the door, young master, be careful."

For some reason, Luo Lang's eyes were a little glared by these movements. He twitched the corners of his mouth, picked up Qi Buyang and jumped out of the window.

"Master!!!" Butler Qi was almost frightened to death, and chased to the window to see that the two fell to the ground lightly as if they had no weight. Qi Buyang's plain white clothes reflected the moonlight, like a soft lamp in the dark night , let him feel at ease a lot.

Seeing that they got into the Qi's car, Butler Qi rushed to the door and watched the black car disappear into the night like a ghost.

Sitting in the car, Qi Buyang glanced at the clock on the dashboard. It is now 03:30 in the morning, which is about the same time as the last time the corpse was scammed. Some anxious.The driver of the Qi family has been driving for their family for decades, and he is also a person who has seen the world. Looking at Qi Buyang's face, he knew that the current situation could not wait, so he hit the accelerator and drove fast.Fortunately, it is midnight now, and the whole city is like an empty city. There are almost no pedestrians and vehicles on the streets, and the emptiness is just convenient for them to travel.

Arriving there in the shortest time, the security guard Xiao Wang and the curator uncle were already waiting at the door. Seeing them was like seeing a savior, and the curator let out a sigh of relief: "You are finally here!"

"Where's the corpse?" Qi Buyang asked.

The security guard pointed to the path on the side of the funeral parlor, "Go to the back, in the same direction as the wasteland where the body was found last time."

Luo Lang squinted at them, "Then why don't you go after them?"

The security guard and the curator looked at each other in embarrassment, and the curator uncle swallowed his saliva and said falteringly, "We haven't seen such a battle... What if something goes wrong..."

"So I didn't dare." Luo Lang unceremoniously activated his taunting skills, and the two lowered their heads in shame.

Qi Buyang thought for a while, "Mr. Curator, please stay and see if there are other corpses like this. Mr. Wang will take us to the wasteland."

When the curator uncle heard that he was going to be left here alone, he was scared. He was about to say to go with them when he saw Luo Lang glaring at him. His eyes seemed to be shining red, and they were worse than zombies in the light of the flashlight. Terrified, I shut my mouth tightly and didn't dare to speak.

The other three were led by the security guard with a flashlight, and Qi Buyang and Luo Lang shared the curator's flashlight, followed behind, and walked into the side path.This path is only two meters wide, and there are no street lights, so I walked quietly for a while, and no one spoke.Qi Buyang was in a hurry to find out the truth, so he didn't have time to talk. Since he didn't talk to Luo Lang and had no one to talk to, Xiao Wang, the security guard, really wanted to say something to ease the atmosphere, but he didn't know how to speak. I'm not in the mood to talk anymore.

At the end of the road, there is an open wasteland outside. It is said that a cemetery is going to be built, but the construction has not been started.Xiao Wang shined a flashlight on the front, but there was nothing, so he stepped forward bravely. Qi Buyang also searched the surrounding area with a flashlight, but found nothing.

After walking for a long time, Xiao Wang muttered suspiciously: "I found it near here last time. I've gone through it all." Just as he was talking, a figure suddenly appeared in the beam of light from the flashlight, and he couldn't help but "ah "Called loudly, the figure seemed to have found him, and looked back - it was a pale and swollen face with blood on his forehead, Xiao Wang was so frightened that he staggered and almost fell, the figure took the opportunity to shrink back Then hid in the darkness.

Qi Buyang and Luo Lang rushed to catch up with flashlights, and within a few steps, they found the man fell forward not far away, with his back up and his face buried in the soil.

They walked up to it, Qi Buyang wanted to turn it over, but was stopped by Luo Lang, and then he stood up and went to the side to find something.Qi Buyang looked at him puzzled, and saw Master Luo picked up a rotten wooden stick, stuck it under the man, and forcefully pried it away.

Qi Buyang: "..."

At this time, the security guard Xiao Wang arrived panting, and Qi Buyang asked him to come over to see if this was the corpse that came out of the funeral home.Xiao Wang leaned forward, remembering the grimace in the flashlight just now, he still had a psychological shadow, patted his chest and took a look, and said in shock: "It's it! It's it!"

Qi Buyang took a closer look and found that it was a female corpse. Looking at the forehead of the corpse, there was an extremely complicated symbol drawn with blood. It should be some kind of spell, but he had never seen it before.

"The symbol from last time was erased..." Qi Buyang recalled from seeing this corpse to finding it lying here, and suddenly thought of something, "Mr. Luo! Someone must be nearby to control it just now! We found it in time this time, They haven't had time to wipe off these traces!" As he spoke, he stood up and went to check nearby.

Luo Lang stopped him, "I'll go." Then he brought the security guard over and put it next to Qi Buyang, and said: "Protect him well, if anything happens, you will stand in front of him."

Security Wang: "..."

After Luo Lang left, Qi Buyang took out a piece of talisman paper, traced the symbol on the forehead of the corpse on the back and put it away, ready to go back to check the information.After doing this, it was found that the eyes of the corpse were still open. This was a young girl who passed away so prematurely for some unknown reason. Her half-closed dark brown pupils could not see her emotions before death, but she was still surrounded by people after death. She must be sad to be ruined like this.

Thinking of this, Qi Buyang gently helped her close her eyes, and silently said to her in her heart: "This kind of thing will not happen again in the future, I promise."

When he took it away, something fell out from the chest of the corpse—a triangular plastic-wrapped talisman.Qi Buyang picked it up and examined it carefully. Although the symbols painted on it were different from the one on the forehead of the corpse, they should be of the same type. Moreover, the red color of the symbol was so red that it was a bit black, unlike the commonly used cinnabar. It also uses blood.A sense of familiarity suddenly flashed in Qi Buyang's mind. He seemed to have seen such a similar talisman before...

Before he could figure it out, Luo Lang came back.

"How? Did you find someone?"

Luo Lang shrugged, "I ran so fast that I didn't see anyone."

Looks like there won't be any more discoveries tonight.They discussed it, the corpse could not just be left like this, it had to be taken back, and this heavy responsibility naturally fell on the head of the security guard Xiaowang.Looking at the messy face of the corpse, he was very reluctant, but there was nothing he could do, he couldn't let Qi Buyang carry it, call Luo Lang... He didn't dare, so he could only carry the corpse on the back aggrievedly, and with them go back together.

Maybe it was to divert attention. On the way back, the security guard kept talking, complaining to Qi Buyang about how difficult the work of the funeral parlor was, and then went back to this matter while talking.

"Little master, do you think these young women are unwilling to die like this, so they come back to find someone to pay for their lives?" He was not a superstitious person, otherwise he would not dare to come to the funeral home as a security guard, but what happened in the past two days The facts were unbelievable, and made him paranoid.

Qi Buyang shook his head, "No, someone should have done this on purpose. Go back and check the surveillance during the day to see if anyone has been to the morgue."

"But the monitoring is not turned on during the day..."

"Then go back and turn it on... wait, you just said 'these young women'?"

"Hmm." The security guard looked at him blankly.

"So the corpse that ran out before was also a young female corpse?"

The security guard nodded, "Didn't we say that?"

"...No." Qi Buyang fell into deep thought—why did he single out young female corpses?Is it a coincidence or is there some inevitable connection?

After thinking about it, they arrived. At this time, the night had begun to recede, and the curator boldly came out to greet them.Qi Buyang briefly told him about the situation, and told them to turn on the surveillance cameras during the day.

"I'll go back and check the things I found, and let me know if there's anything new."

The curator promised again and again, and personally sent them outside the entire museum area, where the Qi family's car was already waiting.

After sending them to the car, the uncle curator still leaned on the car window and said to Qi Buyang: "I am more at ease when I hear that it is man-made, and I ask my little master to worry about it. I am afraid that my heart will not be able to bear this kind of thing a few times. .”

Qi Buyang nodded, "Don't worry."

After returning home from the funeral parlor, Luo Lang put him to sleep, and after getting up, Qi Buyang went straight to the study, he wanted to check if there was any record of that weird symbol.

In the afternoon Luo Lang yawned and called him to have dinner. Seeing the little celestial master still buried in the pile of books, he leaned over and asked, "What did you find?"

Qi Buyang shook his head in distress, "Mr. Luo, don't you know those symbols?"

Luo Lang pursed his lips and said, "That's something you humans have tinkered with, how could I know what it is." As he spoke, he leaned over to look at the classics that Qi Buyang was looking up.

Suddenly, he found a small box in the corner of the bookshelf, "What is this?"

When Qi Buyang saw it, his face turned red, and he said embarrassedly: "That is my treasure chest. I found any interesting things hidden in it when I was a child."

"Oh?" Luo Lang was very interested, and unceremoniously opened it for a while.This is really a treasure chest, with everything in it - small colorful marbles, small translucent stones, a stack of old pictures, and a practice book full of pencil words, the strokes are immature, but every word All upright, just like their owners.Luo Lang couldn't help laughing while reading, these things are much more interesting than any ancient books.

In addition to these "treasures", Luo Lang also found a real treasure. It was a gold-and-silver ring. The craftsmanship was very simple. At first glance, it was not a modern product. The ring was inlaid with a black jadeite as big as a fingernail. , It is said to be Mo Fei, but it is actually a green jade, but the color is too rich, the green is black, and it emits a deep light.

"What is this?" Luo Lang picked up the ring and asked Qi Buyang.

"Oh, it's a family heirloom from the Qi family, it was given to me by my grandfather."

"Then why don't you wear it?" In fact, the style of this ring is too noble, and it doesn't suit the young and vigorous Qi Buyang at first glance. It must be awkward for him to wear it, but Luo Lang just couldn't help teasing him.

"No, this is not for me." Qi Buyang waved his hand, and then suddenly blushed, and said in a low voice: "That ring was passed down to the wives of the family heads of the past, and my mother also wore it. When grandpa gave it to me, he said, I When you find a wife in the future, give this to her.”

"Oh." Luo Lang was suddenly a little unhappy, "You're going to die, so where do you go to find a wife? It seems that you won't need it."

Qi Buyang opened his mouth, but did not refute.

Luo Lang threw the heirloom ring back into the box without interest, Mo Fei hit the box wall and made a crisp sound, but luckily it was not damaged, but when it fell to the bottom of the box, the exposed yellow plastic corner caught Luo Lang's attention. Lang's attention.

He took it out and saw that it was the talisman paper with strange symbols folded into a triangle. He frowned, "You put this thing in too?"

Qi Buyang looked up, "No, I'll keep it close by, so it's easier to compare." He picked up the one on the desk and shook it.

——How come there is one more?

They were all stunned for a moment, Qi Buyang hurried over and put the two talismans side by side in his hands, except for the slight difference in the symbols on them, everything else was exactly the same.

"Where did this come from in the box?"

Qi Buyang thought about it, clapped his hands and said, "It's a thief! He was carrying this thing that could steal a living person. At that time, I didn't know what kind of magic it was, so I just put it away!"
