Chapter 67

After separating from Mr. Chen yesterday afternoon, the two strolled casually on the street before going back to the hotel.

It is said that there will be a temple fair for the Double Ninth Festival two days later, and there will be a special program group and media coming here, so many shops in the downtown street are busy, decorating the walls, painting the walls, and making preparations in advance.

The real bustling time of the ancient city had not yet come, and there were very few pedestrians on the street in the evening, and the two of them came all the way to the hotel area outside the scenic spot.

It's more of an inn than a hotel.

The inn has the typical characteristics of an ancient city, one-story houses, and it is "long". After the two came out of the downtown street, they crossed a narrow bridge and walked a long circle along the river before seeing the main entrance.

Jing Cheng is used to going to a place, and he has to look at the atmosphere and feng shui here.

Observing along the way, Jing Cheng found a problem.

The developers here are probably trying to create a poetic and picturesque atmosphere of "flowing water in front of every house, and willows hanging behind every house". This area specially designated for tourist accommodation not only opened up a separate path on the street,It is specially designed for the stream to flow, and the whole street is full of weeping willows on both sides.

This kind of artistic conception can only be reflected in summer, and now the Double Ninth Festival is coming soon, it is already late autumn, the willows on the trees are almost all bare, and the withered yellow leaves are floating on the stream, piled up, and it isIn such a damp environment, the leaves will inevitably rot, and there is a layer of slippery moss floating on the nearby bluestone road.

During the short journey, Jing Cheng saw at least three cases of children slipping and falling.

"The developer is probably out of their minds." Qin Yan also saw a lot of pictures of girls wearing high heels with sprained feet along the way, and said, "There is a river on the road, and it will definitely accumulate water when it rains. Don't be afraid when the time comes.Is the river flooding?"

"It's obviously a northern city, but it learns from the south. It's nondescript. Don't you understand the principle of adapting measures to local conditions?"

Jing Cheng nodded in agreement: "And the location of these willow trees is not right, and it violates the taboo of Feng Shui."

Qin Yan turned his head and asked curiously, "What taboo?"

"Feng Shui in Yang Zhai pays attention to the fact that the five ghost trees do not enter the house. The five ghost trees refer to willow, poplar, mulberry, neem and pagoda., look at the position of the willow tree here..."

Qin Yan looked in the direction Jing Cheng pointed, and actually noticed on the way they came that the willow trees here were basically planted behind the houses.

Jing Cheng said: "The property of willows is that water cuts off wood, and water represents 'wealth' in Feng Shui, so cutting off water means cutting off wealth. Generally, willows are planted by the riverside or by the pond, at a position tens of meters in front of the door.It is used to settle foreign wealth."

Qin Yan couldn't help but ask, "I hear what you mean...is this willow planted well or not?"

"Of course not." Jing Cheng shook his head and said, "But this is the only place that is not good."

The small streams and ponds here are all man-made, and they are shaded. In addition, there are large areas of ghost willows, which are more likely to attract ghosts and monsters. Next door is Taiyin Mountain... tsk.

No wonder there are frequent "accidents" here, even people from the Taoist Association rushed over.

After listening to Jing Cheng's explanation, Qin Yan became interested, and followed his analysis: "There is a river running through the ancient city, and you just said that water is wealth, so this place can be developed into a tourist attraction, and wealth is everywhere."

Jing Cheng was still immersed in his own thoughts, and nodded dispensably when he heard the words: "It can be understood in this way."

Qin Yan was originally trying to reconcile him, but now he felt that he was not in high spirits, and he was a little puzzled. Wasn't he quite happy when he received the money just now?

With the hotel right in front of him, Jing Cheng lifted his chin: "Stop talking about this, let's go back and solve your problems first."

Qin Yan followed him into the door in a daze, to solve his problems... What's wrong with him?

...

Around nine o'clock that night.

Jing Cheng is setting up an altar in the room.

Qin Yan and Fu Le sat on the chairs beside him and watched his movements silently, not knowing what was going on.

When Jing Cheng came back, he specially bought the tools needed to set up the altar in the God of Fortune shop.

At this moment, three sticks of incense were inserted into the small incense burner, which had already been lit, and the thin smoke rose up, and a faint fragrance lingered in the whole room.

Afterwards, Jing Cheng began to pick up the strokes and draw talismans.

Qin Yan and Fu Le didn't dare to disturb him, so they turned their phones to silent mode and chatted quietly.

Qin Yan: Why did you come back so early?

Generally speaking, in the ancient city, a nationally famous tourist attraction, there will be many interesting activities at night. Most of the tourists who come here will "not return at night".One night.

Fu Le: I would like to come, but the owner of the Internet cafe disagrees.It is said that all shops will be closed before nine o'clock, and no one can be on the street at ten o'clock, shit, why haven't I heard of such a wicked rule before?

Qin Yan: ...

Fu Le: I heard that the regulations only came into existence in the past few years. Wasn’t the ancient city known as the “city that never sleeps”?Now that there is no nightlife, this and that still looks like a tourist town?If we knew this earlier, why would we come here?

Qin Yan: The temple fair two days later?

Fu Le: It seems that the temple fair can last all night, but only on Double Ninth Day. It is said that the Double Ninth Festival is full of yang energy and can ward off evil spirits [Tan Shou].

Qin Yan: ...

Fu Le: Let me wipe, what are the oranges doing?Set up an altar to catch ghosts?I looked a little terrified.[panic]

The two looked up at Jing Cheng together, only to see that he was holding a mahogany sword, and was taking strange steps in front of the table with the incense burner..

The light in the room was dim, and Jing Cheng's eyes were closed tightly. Half of his side face was exposed to the light, and half was hidden in the shadows. With his movements, the light and shadow projected on his face flickered.The small room became more and more eerie.

At some point on the table in front of him stood a villain made of yellow paper. The features of the villain were lifelike, and the paper was covered with strange runes in cinnabar.

After watching for a while, the two suddenly felt chills down their backs and chills all over their bodies.

Fu Le: I see something wrong with that villain, why does it feel like a villain?What the hell is he doing?

Qin Yan: ... He said it was to solve my problems. He said that I was accidentally "changed" during the day, which seemed to be related to my luck.

Fuller:???Change of life?Brother, tell me the truth, are you still my Brother Yan?Was it occupied by some lonely ghost?Come from the truth![sinister smile]

Qin Yan: Get lost.

Fu Le: By the way, did Chengzi say to help me solve my problems?I knelt ten times in a row with PK this afternoon, and Dongzi called me and scolded me for being out of my mind. This is not my level at all!I told him that I had a Mercury retrograde recently, and he kicked me out of the group.

Fu Le: [Baby feels bitter]

Qin Yan: ...

Fu Le: Brother Yan, what, if I tell the truth, don't you not like it.

Qin Yan glanced at him sideways, and tapped the screen with his fingertips: Then don't say it.

Fu Le pretended that he couldn't see it, since he was bored anyway, so he spoke out what he had buried in his heart for a long time.

Fu Le: I always feel that Cheng Zi is not a person in the same world as us. Look at his usual behavior, the words he speaks, and his strange hobbies... It feels like an older generation to me.My son, I heard his deskmate talking behind his back, saying that he doesn’t even know the English letter “abcd”, and… he actually writes in traditional Chinese characters!

Fu Le: Didn't the Jing family say that he just came back from abroad?I didn't realize it in the morning, but now that I think about it, something is wrong. This news should be to confuse the public.

Fu Le has been with his mobile phone and computer all year round, and his typing speed is extremely fast. When Qin Yan raised his head, he unexpectedly sent such a large amount of information.

Qin Yan: What do you want to say?

Fu Le hesitated for a moment, and moved his fingers: I think, no matter where he came from, he is always a person who does great things.

Qin Yan: So?

Fu Le: So I think it's impossible for the two of you.

Unexpectedly, he would say this, Qin Yan's chest suddenly burst into flames, and his face turned as black as coke.

Fu Le didn't know that the hearts of the people around him were already roaring like a tsunami, so he continued: Let me analyze it for you.Our kind of family pays attention to the right family and like-minded people. He is a Taoist priest. Look at those Taoist priests on TV, especially the powerful ones. Which one is married?

Fu Le: She is a fairy, we are all ordinary people, and the love between fairy and mortal will not have a good result.

Fu Le: So... Brother Yan, you have to think twice.

Qin Yan's fire shot directly from his chest to the top of his head.

He sneered, and wrote: I miss you big-headed ghost, I will be a fairy soon.

If he was still hesitant before, now he is determined to learn Taoism with Jing Cheng.

Didn't Jing Cheng say it before?His physique is extremely yang, which is the best physique for practicing Taoism, while the opponent's physique is extremely yin, they have one yin and one yang, and the combination of yin and yang is a perfect match!

There is no other person in this world who is as well-matched as the two of them.

Qin Yan glanced at Fu Le coldly.

Fu Le: "..." It's about to die, the fire-breathing dragon exploded.

Fu Le bowed cowardly and lowered his head. He had a premonition that Qin Yan would perform martial arts on him.

Fu Le checked himself in his heart, why did he talk so much... Ah no, why is he so owed!

He waited for a long time for the clinker, but he didn't wait for the fist to land on him. When he raised his head again, he saw the two people standing together since no one knew when, and they were talking about something solemnly.

Jing Cheng also patted a talisman on Qin Yan's shoulder.

The moment the talisman touched Qin Yan's body, it flashed suddenly and disappeared abruptly.

Fu Le: "!!!"

Fu Le rubbed his eyes, he suspected that he spent too much time looking at the computer in the afternoon, and there was something wrong with his eyes.

Seeing him looking up, Jing Cheng waved to him like a puppy: "It's just right, you come here too."

Fu Le was distracted just now. He didn't know what the two of them said before. Hearing this, he stood up inexplicably and walked over.

Jing Cheng handed him a note: "In the next few days, read it every night before going to bed. It's best to memorize it."

Fu Le looked down and saw that although he wrote traditional characters, he could recognize them and read them slowly: "I ask the heavenly officials to explain Tian'e, the earth officials to explain Die, and the water officials to explain it."Guan Jie Shui'er... what is this?"

"Relieve the curse." Jing Cheng replied, and handed him a triangular amulet, "This is yours, don't take off the amulet, remember not to get it wet."

Fu Le was stunned, and said: "No need, I have Brother Yan to give me..."

"The effectiveness of the amulet has weakened since it was taken off. You are so unlucky, it is probably useless now."

Fu Le wanted to take out the amulet Qin Yan lent him from his pocket, but he took out a handful of ashes.

Fu Le: "..."

Fuck!What happened to me before?

The author has something to say:

Well, the person who died was neither the old man nor Mr. Chen.

My eyes are inflamed today, and the code words have not been in the state, so I postponed the important plot, I hope you will not be offended.
