In addition to this, Lu Ning also described the information about the "young master" to everyone. The piece of meat Yan Zidan obtained has been integrated into her arm, now like a scar. Jin Yuntai and Song Caiwei also checked, but they looked a little ugly and did not affect their health.
In contrast, Jin Yuntai and Qian Yipeng did not gain much from their trip to Caowazi. Regarding the gas poisoning accident reported in the newspaper about Tang Haiyao, they did not meet anyone who would handle the follow-up. After all, it happened yesterday and should have been dealt with. on site. As a result, it is difficult to verify whether the murder was committed by the person holding the ceremony.
And the book that Lu Ning brought back was a note about the local white god of Zaoyuanzhuang. It is no longer known who the owner of this note is. It can only be said that it is most likely the old rich man. The note even records what happened before Shirakami became Shirakami. At that time, the ghost also had a name, named "Xiang". quiet".
Judging from the contents of the notes, Xiangyou was originally a ghost immortal worshiped by the old rich man's family, and he had been one for a long time, at least before this man wrote the notes. The ghost fairy is still a ghost, with a capricious personality. After being worshiped for many years and receiving incense, he has become increasingly unable to coexist peacefully. The family gradually became restless, and the family began to lose its members, making it difficult to survive.
The author has designed some methods to get rid of ghosts and fairies. But Xiangyou has been closely related to the fate of the family for so many years. If you want to get rid of this ghost fairy, you must either carefully separate the fate of the two, or you must put the ghost fairy in a high position again. Traditional methods of killing ghosts are no longer possible. .
During the research process, the author also had several conversations with Xiangyou. Such behavior cannot be hidden from Xiangyou, who is the ghost fairy of the family house, but Xiangyou also knows this and is not afraid of people from this family playing dirty tricks. During the conversation, Xiangyou showed his preference for the throne. After all, it already has the name of "Xiangyou" and has passed its canonization. If it can really gain a certain status, it will be of great benefit to future practice. After the author explained the two plans to Xiangyou, Xiangyou nodded and asked him to study them at the same time.
The scissors in Lu Ning's hand are actually the results of research, and they are consistent with the magic weapon used by the author to separate the fate described by the author. However, although this object has the function it should have, there is no guarantee that it will have any other consequences after separation. After all, a clan has been blessed by ghosts and immortals for a long time, and then suddenly lost it. Like a turtle without its shell, it will lose a lot of its ability to defend against the intrusion of external ghosts.
Therefore, the author was also looking for a suitable opportunity to confer the throne. He discovered the custom of "night vigil" and noticed that someone was using this to start another local ghost trading ritual called "Bai Li". Due to the turbulent situation at that time , there are no earthly immortals in most places, and these vacated positions can be exchanged with white gifts to allow some powerful enough ghosts to occupy the land position in name only.
After discussing this method with Xiangyou, Xiangyou also agreed with it.
Then comes the research part about Bai Li.
The most important thing about Bai Li is the preparation for Bai Li for the first time. In any case, it requires the cooperation of a person who knows Taoism and a strong enough ghost. Baili was born out of "night vigil", and vigil is essentially a semi-finished ritual process. The folk customs that originally existed in various places have a high degree of ritual quality. As long as the necessary "symbolic elements" are added to it, that is Can make it a real ritual.
In other words, the Baili in each place is essentially different. It was formed by the original Taoist person who added the elements he needed. But it is unified in performance, because the first Baili must let the ghost take the place of the local land. If the Taoist had not made the secret known to the public, then those who followed would probably have only imitated the first Bai Li... and thus it became what it is now.
Fortunately, the author has enough Taoist skills, and he personally completed a transformation of "Vigil" and turned it into Bai Li. However, during this period, he also discovered some problems with the custom of "night vigil". On certain occasions, the "night vigil" itself would turn into a ritual to attract ghosts, and the conditions were loose. In many places in this area, The balance of Yin and Yang is not even, and it is precisely because of this custom that an abnormal Yin ground is formed.
The final summary of the note is this:
[If you claim to save this area in this way, it is really a big statement. However, the longer I observe Feng Shui, the more frightened I become. Once here, there will be countless towns and hundreds of households. If things go on like this for a long time, the tombs in the underworld will be the tombs of the world, and the bones will not be counted. Killing people with white gifts, and using white gifts to protect people, the will of God is unpredictable, and blessings and disasters are difficult to predict. 】

At night in Secret City, the amusement park is still colorful. As the New Year approaches, more people are willing to come out and play. It is not as deserted as described in the Solitaire story.
"ha……"
The girl standing at the entrance of the amusement park let out a breath of white mist. The position where she stood was not illuminated, and it happened to be in the shadow cast by a building next to it. If you look closely, you will find that you cannot get a clear impression of her face.
Shui Qingyao, an upgraded tourist from the Star World Temple, the distribution center, felt a little upset at the moment.
Ghost scenes, solitaire stories, a scene that is extremely suspicious, but there is always no clue that can be used to solve the problem. According to the mission, I should be the only two of the twenty-four people who have the conditions for spiritual power and Taoism. If this scene does not contain confrontational elements, then the "murderer" should be the person in the scene.
This does not mean that the situation will be much better. Shui Qingyao is more willing to confront tourists, because both parties must be on an equal footing initially, and the characters in the scene have no limitations on their strength.
She spat out a mouthful of white mist again. The evil spirit of the Poker Circus still remains here, but such a special large-scale ghost group does not dare to directly break into the opponent's hometown. Moreover, since the circus has not continued to perform, it means that someone has obtained the leader according to the method in the story. The position of this person is not clear yet - it should be said that the other party is also testing himself. It seems that he was targeted by a ghost on the road today, but there was no attack. It is probably a controlled ghost.
Are there any clues here in Secret City? Shui Qingyao thought for a while. Her investigation in the past two days was nothing more than checking the ghost legends in the entire secret city. Unfortunately, these little ghosts had no relevant clues, or they were not the key to this scene.
And how many people are currently investigating? According to her understanding, more than half of the people have noticed that there is something wrong with this Solitaire, encountered ghosts, met people who truly understood Taoism, and started to take action to solve their own problems. Are these people tourists? If not all, then probably a large part of it is, but this level is still within the limits allowed by the scene. Tourists just cannot "volunteer reveal their identity", but it is not surprising that such behavior is mixed among non-tourists.
She let out another breath.
"Killing the 'murderer'... is such a straightforward mission. Is the detective responsible for killing people? I really don't understand what the distribution center is thinking." She thought.
At this time, a clown walked over from the brightly lit place of the amusement park. It was doing funny moves to amuse the passing tourists. The clown soon came to Shui Qingyao, stood up suddenly, and his smeared pair of Cheng's big red lips made a high-pitched voice: "Dear lady, I heard your call~"
"Staccato, your captain was not recruited by me, and he also noticed something unusual here." Shui Qingyao said.
"Yes~ So as the person who distributed the flyers, I took the initiative to come over and share our joy and experience with you! Madam, do you want to become a member of the circus?"
"I really hope there's a guy who's not so crazy to talk to." Shui Qingyao put his hand in his pocket and took out an envelope.
"I don't know who became your leader, but you are wary and distant from me - of course, but you are not among the targets I want to solve first."
"Oh, oh, madam, my little heart can't bear such threats." The clown covered his heart and said with a hurt look, "You are so confident. Mr. Lion must like a courageous person like you!"
"Transfer it to your regiment leader, Scordatura. This is something that must be completed." Shui Qingyao ignored the provocation from the clown's mouth and stuffed the envelope into its hand. "I have seen the Yin Qi turning. You have to leave. I Won’t stop it.”
"No one can stop the touring performance of the Poker Circus! Madam! Looking forward to our meeting again!" The clown bowed exaggeratedly, "You will definitely like our friends next time!"
Shui Qingyao turned around and left the amusement park. She found nothing in Secret City, so she should go to Tongfang Town to investigate what happened to Zheng Yunting there. Zheng Yunting in the film is already dead, and the reality is probably not much better.

At Zaoyuanzhuang, Lu Ning has studied the map carefully. Lu Ping, Song Caiwei and Jin Yuntai will be at a certain distance to respond to the situation to prevent any other changes in the plan. Lu Ning studied some records related to the "night vigil" in his notebook. This was originally a semi-ritual caused by a group of people who didn't know Taoism just based on a periodic behavior. Even Lu Ning, who didn't know any Taoism, couldn't do it. Can be reproduced.
"Is it too dangerous? How about one more person?" Yan Zidan touched the discolored piece of flesh on his hand, "I can also attract ghosts, and I can use this to hide in the inner world without worrying. In danger.”
"There is still danger. And I have met the White-faced Buddha before, and I have never asked Taoist Master Lu to help get rid of the yin energy left on his body. As long as there is no one around, it should be very attractive to ghosts. In addition, according to the notes, if If the white god here is Xiangyou, the few subordinates it has should be strong enough to kill him. Most of the ghosts in Dadong Road are the type that sneak attacks and create terror, but they are lethal enough on the surface. There aren’t many ghosts.”
After rejecting Yan Zidan, he will not be idle during the day tomorrow. Lu Ping and Jin Yuntai have found enough traces of Yin Qi from those cameras. It may be difficult to trace them, but there is no problem in using these Yin Qi characteristics to make some induction charms. Especially Lu Ping himself is a good hand at drawing spells.
"It's better to have one person." Lu Ping counted the number of people, took out the yellow paper and cinnabar from the bag and started to prepare. However, he was a little busy today and Lu Ning didn't have time to study the bloodline talismans of the servants of the old rich man's family that Lu Ning got. Jin Yuntai asked his little ghosts to remember these clues of Yin Qi one by one.
The last thing was that it was time to take back the jewelry Song Caiwei sent out in the morning.
"Yan Zidan...you passed." Song Caiwei first checked the jewelry in Yan Zidan's hand, which was as expected. Even in that ghost realm, Yan Zidan did not use the power of the magic weapon excessively. This sober control was undoubtedly qualified, and Song Caiwei also recognized it.
But when the few remaining people returned the jewelry, Song Caiwei frowned.
"Chen Hang, Zhou Shilan, you two will not pass."
"What?" Chen Hang's eyes widened, "Sister Song, are you worried that you will take responsibility if something happens to us if we take risks? Don't fool us."
"Who has such leisure!" Song Caiwei glared at him fiercely, "Both you and Zhou Shilan are too impulsive. They are restless and easily disturbed by external objects, especially emotionally."
"This... how did you figure it out?" Zhou Shilan was also a little unwilling.
"For you two, the heart-piercing and heart-breaking swords." Song Caiwei picked out the sword-shaped jewelry of the two of them. The two swords now look very shiny, and everyone had taken the jewelry in the morning, knowing that at that time these Jewelry does not have such a bright luster.
"Your moods have gone through various changes when you were sorting out the videos and audios today, and there must even be some random thoughts after gaining these powers. The changes in the induction of the mood have caused the mana in the sword to change. Now this The appearance is just superficial, but the heart is not strong enough, and it is easy to collapse before a violent impact." Song Caiwei said seriously, "I will never agree to you using any ghost weapon, take mine The magical weapon can protect you and keep you safe, which will save you a lot of trouble."
"What about others? I want to see the comparison!" Chen Hang still wanted to struggle.
"Qian Yipeng is qualified, see for yourself." Song Caiwei placed the third sword next to her. The contrast was very obvious. This sword was exactly the same as when she handed it to Qian Yipeng in the morning, which showed that his psychological changes were not obvious.
Teng Xuan asked hurriedly: "What about me? I..."
"You are not qualified either." Song Caiwei sighed and picked up Teng Xuan's jewelry. The jewelry did not become shiny, but the color became darker obviously, and if you touch it, you can feel the temperature is slightly higher.
"You have a very good character. Your passion, courage, and belief for your friends have caused a high temperature in the magic power on it. However, this state of mind is also very easy to be exploited by ghosts. If your passion turns into recklessness, it will attract a lot of trouble. Disaster. Everything you saw today makes you unwilling to accept your own powerlessness... It's a pity that you can't get the power you want through this path."
