I sat down on the edge of the bed, my mind wandering with thoughts.
On weekdays, when I am sitting around or waiting for something, I can read the Nine Art of Yin Sheng and Zhai Jing.
Now there is no book at hand.
In my wild thoughts, I thought of many things.
Including my father, second uncle, and thinking of Miao Guangyang who was pushed into the water, and my mother who doesn’t know her safety now...
Finally, when I think about Jiang Yihong's expectations for me and the respect they have for Jiang Yihong from the people I meet, I feel even more tormented in my heart.
My hands were pressed firmly against the edge of the bed, and the feeling of self-blame grew again, almost swallowing up my entire being.
I have made up my mind, as long as I can still find the Nine Arts of Yin Sheng and Zhai Jing, I will never let them leave me again!
And I just remembered something just now.
When my second uncle took me to solve Wang Xue's matter, the dead woman I fished out had a family letter on her body! Packed in a waterproof cowhide bag!
I actually never thought of this detail before...
At that time, my second uncle also put away the book and told me that he would help her complete that matter in the future...
It became increasingly difficult to calm down my thoughts. I bit my lower lip and took out the compass.
I held the compass in my palm with one hand and quickly stabilized it.
Finally, relying on this method, I managed to regain some of my composure.
Time passed bit by bit.
I sat on the chair next to the bed and kept looking at the compass.
At this time, my mind calmed down. Although I didn't have any books, I kept recalling all the records in the house scriptures in my head.
And I put the Dizhi pen and Tiangan inkstone in a more personal position.
Fortunately, I always carry these two things with me, and I can still draw charms.
Time passes unconsciously.
The sky outside gradually began to darken.
When I reviewed the House Sutra, I gained a much deeper understanding of it, especially the Bagua method!
I found that my thoughts were too calm. In fact, apart from Mr. Bai, we didn't have other breakthroughs!
Bagua method is not just about finding people.
Its animals, geography, appearance, travel, lost objects, and sounds are all mentioned by hexagrams.
And the Eight Methods of Qizhen are not only about looking for resentment, but also looking for objects, mountains, people, and water, all in different ways.
Eight odd acupuncture methods plus Bagua method! This is another breakthrough!
After thinking about this clearly, I took a warning deep down in my heart. No matter what happens in the future, I must remain absolutely calm!
At the same time, I began to deduce and analyze in my mind.
The big black wooden box was lost last night. It was in the month of Mao and the day of Guimao in the year Yiyou. Looking at the time, it was Yin hour.
Soon, I had some analysis and inferences.
I murmured in a low voice: "Rengui can be found in Gen..."
"Guimao day belongs to Rengui, Gen means northeast, northeast..."
"Yinshi...Yinshensihai returned to his hometown..."
What I have deduced is the whereabouts of the big black wooden box.
But my heart suddenly sank.
What Yin Shi lost means that it has fallen into the hands of others, and the hope of getting it back is extremely slim...
This hexagram shows that I will most likely not be able to find the big black wooden box. It will be taken away to the northeast...
Suddenly, goosebumps appeared all over my body.
Because I remembered that when Mr. Bai was chatting with Liu Huayan, he said that he came from the bitter cold land of the Northeast!
As soon as I thought of this, suddenly, there was a gentle knock on the door twice.
I was suddenly awakened from my trance.
He responded warily: "Who?!"
"It's getting dark soon, Mr. Li. I have a plan. If you want to participate, you need to come and discuss it." Mr. Bai's faint words came from outside.
A flash of fierceness suddenly flashed in my eyes, and I was on full alert.
I was indeed a little more relaxed before, but now, I am even more alert than He Zhi.
He stood up, opened the door, and looked at Mr. Bai.
His aquiline nose looked even more uncomfortable, as if his pale cheeks, which had not seen the sun all year round, looked even more bloodless in this dim sky.
At this time, he had a kind smile on his lips, but it gave me an indescribable feeling of palpitations.
"It seems that Mr. Li still needs to wake up He Shenpo and call Miss Liu." Mr. Bai continued with a faint smile.
I walked out of the house and closed the door behind me.
"Mr. Bai, let's just talk." I kept my voice as low as possible so as not to wake He Zhi up.
If it is impossible to completely ensure whether there is a problem with Mr. Bai, it is best not to involve Liu Huayan and He Fei in this matter.
Otherwise, we are likely to fall into the trap together.
Mr. Bai nodded thoughtfully: "Mr. Li is a young and talented man, no wonder these two women follow him."
He made a gesture of invitation and walked to the main room first.
After I followed him, Mr. Bai poured me a cup of tea and asked me to sit down.
I picked up the tea cup and took a sip. I casually asked, "Mr. Bai is from the Northeast?"
Mr. Bai hummed and sighed softly: "A bitter cold place."
After a pause, he continued: "Originally, I planned to bring two villagers to deal with the Fox Fairy tonight, but I was still a little wary. After thinking about it more, the villagers are still ordinary people. Maybe they are not brave enough, or Prepare to recruit three helpers."
"I didn't say much before. In fact, the Five Fairies are the most common in our hometown. This white-haired fox transformed into a fox fairy, and its method is to capture people's hearts."
"If you want not to be confused by them, you either don't look at their eyes, or you have enough perseverance to wake up quickly."
"The fox fairy won't move when it has charming eyes. At that time, you can get rid of it by grabbing it quickly." Mr. Bai didn't stop talking, and continued: "Mr. Bai has been hiding for most of the time. In the Northeast, and in the Central Plains for a few years, people are getting older and their minds are hard enough. The Fox Fairy can't be fascinated by my eyes. My plan is that the three of you are people in the industry and must be brave enough. You come to hook the Fox Fairy and I will come. Catch it.”
"You can guarantee that everything will be safe."
After saying this, Mr. Bai put down the tea cup and looked at me more seriously.
Immediately, my expression suddenly changed.
But in an instant, I mentally rejected this request.
If there is really a problem with Mr. Bai, then aren't we going to die on our own?
"Mr. Li, can't you trust me?" Mr. Bai suddenly smiled and tapped his fingers lightly on the table.
I took a deep breath, calmed down my emotions, and said calmly: "Mr. Bai, this is your only life. We have seen how terrifying the fox fairy is once... Do you have any other ideas?"
Although I didn't say it too clearly, the meaning is self-evident.
And I didn't show anything unusual that would raise suspicion.
