After the meal, Tiaozi's belly was bulging. This was the fullest meal he had eaten this month.
Lili took out a small red box from his room, the bottom area was no more than the size of a palm, and a golden rune was placed on the lid.
Tiaozi knows the meaning of this rune. It is a kind of exorcism rune used to suppress ghosts. Usually, there must be some powerful treasure in a box with such a symbol, so Tiaozi is full of expectations.
After receiving Lili's box, the note was opened lightly, and she was taken aback.
There was nothing in this box. The note thought Lili had missed something, so he asked:
"Lili, this box is empty, have you forgotten something?"
Lili's face sank, she took the box back and looked inside, her face was as white as freshly ground flour.
"This... I don't know... Could it be that I fell on the road..., oops, I'm so careless..."
Lili stomped his feet anxiously and went back to the room. He flipped through his clothes and found the contents of the box.
In her impression, what was in the box should be the right thing. Before she died, her father deliberately asked her to keep the box, so she must not lose it. She also kept this thing in the place where she thought was the safest, but she The most worrying thing happened.
After a long time, Lili found nothing.
"Tiaozi, I'm sorry, I have never opened that box, and I don't know what it is inside, but it is a relic given to me by my father... It's my fault, I didn't take care of it."
Lili is like a child who has done something wrong, her face is aggrieved, her eyes are still red, and Jin Ying's tears are slowly overflowing from her eyes. She is afraid that Tiao Zi will blame her for this, and she is also secretly cursing herself why she is so. useless.
Tiaozi wasn't really angry. He just asked unexpectedly. As for whether there were any treasures in it, he didn't care at all. The first time he saw Lili cry, he felt that the character had just overdoed it.
"Lili don't cry. I don't care about these things. If you really lose it, you will lose it." The paper gently hugged Lili and touched the back of her head, softly comforting.
"No, it was left by my father. He said it was a priceless treasure. I actually lost it. I am really worthless!" Not only did Lili cry louder, she cried louder.
"Okay, okay, maybe your father forgot, or you accidentally fell somewhere in the room, I'll look for it again."
It seems that the matter of losing something is not that simple. He knows Lili's mind, how can he lose something so easily? He and Lili searched the room for ten minutes, almost rummaged through the cabinets, and finally failed to find the thing.
Jiayi, who had stayed in the Tiaozi room, followed the two voices into the room and was a little curious to see Lili's anxious appearance.
"Uncle, what's wrong with sister?"
Tiaozi looked back at Jiayi, then faintly replied, "It's just that the contents of the box are gone, nothing is wrong."
"Box?"
Jiayi also took care of what was said by the note. She looked back at the empty box placed on the table, and saw that the surface of the box emitted a faint red light, which was very strange.
"Uncle, this box will light up!"
Jiayi reminded with excitement that when the strip looked back, she didn't see any abnormalities, but Ke Jiayi saw it really. There was a gloomy light in this box, and it was in the mysterious rune box. The light is the loudest when covered.
Jiayi didn't ask for the advice of the note, she opened the box privately, and the box was full of gloomy light. A strong wind blew out from it, causing the furniture in the room to fall suddenly. Lili was frightened, and the note was also shocked. Why was there a strong wind blowing in the house for no reason? Said they are all extremely weird.
Tiaozi saw the box opened, and a blue air current brought Jiayi out of the house, and Jiayi's shouts were constantly echoing over the yard.
Tiaozi hurried out of the house, and there was a ring-shaped whirlwind more than ten meters long and wide above the yard. The whirlwind was rotating extremely fast. The air flow caused the fallen leaves in the yard to fly around, while Jiayi's soul was spinning rapidly in the center.
"My God! This!" Tiaozi was dumbfounded, staring at the whirlwind for a while, and was about to use a yellow ribbon to pull Jiayi's ghost out of the whirlwind. The whirlwind suddenly returned to Lili's house with Jiayi's soul, and the tweet followed. The whirlwind rushed.
The whirlwind flew into the box, the lid closed quickly, and everything was calm.
"I see... So that's it." Tiaozi felt that he had touched the truth, so he hurried up and lifted the box.
"Tiaozi, what's the matter?" Lili also saw the scene just now. Although I didn't see Jiayi's soul, I also saw the gale blowing from the box.
"There is nothing in this box."
"What?" Faced with Tiaozi's assertion, Lili was puzzled.
"This box is what your father left." Tiaozi quickly explained, "If I'm not mistaken, this is a treasure that disappeared many years ago..., sealed the ghost box..., it was in your father's place! "
The note is not a random guess. I have read in the book that a Taoist priest once created a treasure, a small box that can hold and absorb hundreds of souls, and the characteristics of the box are consistent with the box sent by Lili. The note is unpredictable. Then, Lili's father would have gifted him such a treasure. The manufacturing process of this box has long been lost, and the rest has become a priceless treasure!
"Tiaozi, what was sucked in just now?" Lili asked hurriedly.
"It's the little girl I brought back yesterday in the village next door. Because forgetting her birthday can't be overwhelming, I will take her in first."
"She doesn't care!?" Lili looked worried.
Tiaozi shook his head slightly, not knowing Jiayi's current situation. Just now, it was too sudden and he didn't figure out what was going on. He had to slowly open the box and saw that there was a nail-sized white bead in the box. He picked up the bead. After the note heard Jiayi's call.
"Uncle! Let me out... uncomfortable..."
The frightened hand slipped, the beads fell to the ground with a crisp sound and then broke apart, light smoke spreading out, condensing into the form of Jiayi's soul body.
Tiaozi realized that this box is for soul-sealing!
"Lili, your father's treasure is very useful to me, thank you."
Lili realized that the dowry passed down by her father had not been lost, and her tears stopped abruptly.
And Jiayi, who had just escaped the seal of the treasure box, never dared to approach the treasure box again, fearing that she would never be able to get out the next time she went in.
midnight.
Tiaozi didn't sleep from time to time, but was flipping the "Secret Technique of Taoism" that his father had left him, trying to find a way to survive Jiayi.
But flipping around, just couldn't find a way of insurance.
The transcendent method mentioned in the book that does not require birth date does exist, that is, the talisman array transcendent. This method of transcendent soul saving is complicated but dangerous.
Once there is any difference, it will lead to the consequences of losing one's soul, and this kind of extravagant method belongs to smuggling. Once it is discovered that it will be condemned by God, Tiao Zi can't afford this responsibility.
Tiaozi closed the book annoyingly, feeling very helpless. How to arrange Jiayi in the future, she can't stay at home forever. This is no different from raising ghosts. First, the yin of the house in the house will attract more ghosts. Into the house.
Should I ask Liu Tian for help? Although he is young, he is at least the apprentice of a professional master.
"Uncle, don't you want me to stay here?" Jiayi has been observing the look of this strip from beginning to end, and she also invisibly felt the anxiety in her heart.
Tiaozi took a cigarette and pretended to smile: "No, uncle is just worried about you, it's getting late, you go into the puppet.... Don't come out during the day, it's not good for your soul and body."
Jiayi nodded obediently, and the soul body slowly merged into the black red rope puppet on the sliver table, which was used exclusively by the sliver to attach the soul.
The next few days were overcast.
The paper went quite peacefully. In addition to recovering from the wound at home, he went to the funeral to borrow grievances. This time his technique has reached a sophisticated level, and he will not be discovered at all. After a few days, the grievances are almost the same.
Haizi’s condition has improved. Because the poisonous insects are more toxic and left internal injuries, it will take longer to continue recuperating. Haizi also vowed that he will not steal the corpse in the future. If it weren't for Tiaozi, he would have come to an unlucky end when he encountered evil things.
On the eve of the Ghost Festival, Tiaozi received a call from Liu Tian, saying that he would gather at a place called Donglai Village at midnight today to capture the evil spirits.
"Donglai Village? Are you sure there is a ghost you want?" Tiaozi was still slightly worried about Liu Tian's experience.
"Don't worry! There is absolutely nothing wrong with this place, you also bring a good guy, don't tell me you have nothing but a blood whip."
"How many people?" The note asked.
"You and I are enough. The set that Master gave me is still useful."
Liu Tian is serious, and the sliver can't be hasty. In order to get the blood whip of the lost skill, the sliver still needs to go through some twists and turns.
