Xie Yuqing tilted her head and looked at the New Year painting. She didn't see the clue for a long time, and said to herself: "Is it like Shawshank's redemption, and there is a hole in the back of the painting?"
He reached out his hand to uncover it, but Ye Shaoyang hurriedly stopped him, took out an incense burner from his backpack, placed it directly under the painting, lit three sticks of sandalwood, bowed respectfully three times, and inserted it into the incense burner.
Seeing the smoke of sandalwood smoked onto the portrait, Ye Shaoyang stepped back in peace, took out the talisman that had been used to collect the soul before, and shook it lightly, a figure fell down and sat on the floor, it was the girl The ghost, sitting on the ground trembling, eyes filled with two pools of mercury gas.
Ye Shaoyang took out a porcelain bowl from his bag, mixed it with some pure water, first melted the talisman water, then took out a piece of realgar from his bag, wiped it in the water, stepped forward and grabbed the female ghost's neck with one hand, The cinnabar pen was dipped in the broken realgar talisman water, and a few drops were poured into her eye sockets covered with mercury.
The female ghost's whole body twitched, and she screamed silently. The mercury gas sealed not only its vision, but also its consciousness. Although the realgar talisman water was stimulating, it could completely dissipate the mercury gas.
After the mercury evaporated, Ye Shaoyang wrote the character "A" in the middle of her forehead with a pen on the cinnabar, recited the soul-fixing spell, and injected the spiritual power of the talisman into her body.
"Ah..." The female ghost murmured in pain, and in the eyes where the mercury had evaporated, two gray eyes also appeared, staring at Ye Shaoyang in circles, and then leaned over to thank him.
After some inquiries, Ye Shaoyang learned that this female ghost was an ordinary woman nearby. She died of illness a month ago. Before the ghost sent to arrest her soul, she was arrested by Li Xiaoqiang. in this room.
She didn't know anything about other things. In the end, Ye Shaoyang drew a soul-attracting talisman and sent her to the underworld. Then he came to Zhong Kui's portrait and took a closer look. At the bottom of the portrait, a row of red cursive characters appeared.
The two immediately went up to look, and saw that it said: "Red Zombie in the Anatomy Building, be careful!"
There is only this sentence, concise and to the point.
"This is... notes?" Xie Yuqing couldn't believe it.
"Besides notes, I can't think of anything else important."
"What does that have to do with the red zombies? Why are there still zombies in the anatomy building?"
Ye Shaoyang shrugged, "How would I know? If you have the time to ask, let's go and see."
After finishing speaking, Xie Yuqing pulled her back and asked, "Wait a minute, I still haven't figured out what's going on, why did Li Xiaoqiang tear that female ghost into ten pieces? How did the word come about?"
Ye Shaoyang knew that with her personality, she would not give up until she understood it, so he simply explained to her from the beginning: "That ghost was captured by Li Xiaoqiang casually, and his eyes were sealed with mercury, and the ghost umbrella was added to block the spirit. Then disassemble the three souls and seven souls, and arrange them into a pattern of Taoist nine palaces to guide the way, so that when a mage comes, he can see through the mystery and notice that there is something wrong with Zhong Kui's portrait...
The characters on the portraits are actually written with the powder of tadpole egg membranes. The tadpole egg membranes are colorless after drying, but they are developed with sandalwood. They have always been used in Taoism to write secret letters. After leaving the Jiugong Guiding Bureau and noticing the portrait of Zhong Kui, I immediately thought of this possibility, so I tried it with sandalwood, and it happened to be right. "
Ye Shaoyang frowned slightly, and said with emotion: "Judging from these actions, Li Xiaoqiang is probably a disciple of Taoism, or the sect he belongs to has some relationship with Taoism, otherwise it is impossible to understand the Jiugong Guidance Bureau."
After Xie Yuqing listened to it, she immediately asked a question: "Why didn't he just throw the diary in the dormitory, but made things so complicated? Is it because... he was worried that the diary would fall into the hands of some people?"
Ye Shaoyang nodded, and sighed: "Only this kind of explanation, if you think about it differently and speculate a little, you can know that he should have died at the hands of some kind of evil thing. Before the sacrifice, he knew that he must die, but he hoped Someone can finish what he didn't finish, so the ghost was arrested and left this clue.
He knew that the one who could break the Nine Palaces Road must be a mage, and he must be from a famous Taoist family. If ordinary people come in, let alone not seeing those souls, even if they can see them, they will never be able to guess the meaning behind them.
As for the statue of Zhong Kui on the wall, no one would doubt him as a mage. The Unjust Soul Umbrella looks like a unique wind chime from the outside, so the police didn't take it away as evidence. "
Xie Yuqing's eyes fell on the Umbrella of Wronged Souls, she thought carefully for a while, and said, "According to what you said, there must be no powerful mages in the force he wants to escape from, so that's why he couldn't see through the situation you mentioned. "
"It should be, but I didn't expect that things would be so complicated." Ye Shaoyang secretly sighed, he would rather simply fight a thousand zombies to death, and he didn't want to get mixed up with these messy things in the process of catching ghosts and subduing demons , Things that require brains, I just want to simply catch a ghost, why is it so difficult
"Shaoyang, do you know what your opponent is?" Xie Yuqing looked at him and said quietly.
Ye Shaoyang turned his head and said, "You know?"
"How would I know." Xie Yuqing looked at him worriedly, "I mean, Li Xiaoqiang is also a mage, but he died so simply, and he predicted that he would die before the accident... This shows that he is aware of the strength of the other party. Great disparity, there is no chance... So, the hand gesture must be very powerful, I am afraid you will not be able to cover it."
After Ye Shaoyang heard this, his heart warmed, and he said, "Whether it's great or not is secondary. The most important thing is that I have to find it first. Let's go."
"Where are you going?"
Ye Shaoyang pointed to the red letter on Zhong Kui's portrait, "Go to the anatomy building to fight zombies!"
After going out, Ye Shaoyang turned back and took off the Umbrella of Injustice, Xie Yuqing asked curiously, "What do you want this for?"
"There are five emperors' money on it, at least dozens of them. I bought them from Lao Guo, and the cheapest is three yuan each. If you dismantle this, you can get a lot..."
Xie Yuqing rolled her eyelids, and sighed helplessly: "You are greedy for such petty gains! You are still a celestial master, and you are not like everyone at all."
Ye Shaoyang snorted and said, "Everyone, I don't even have a small family, so far I'm alone..."
When they came to No. 3 dissecting building, Ye Shaoyang did not go in hastily, but simply summed up with Xie Yuqing, thinking that since Li Xiaoqiang left his last words and there were zombies in the building, there must be nothing wrong with it, but what we don’t know so far is the zombie’s quantity and grade.
