As the saying goes, fire can't be contained by paper. Jiang Jinjiu and Qin Zhaoyun's night fight with the green-eyed weasel was witnessed by a person in the village.
That person is none other than Li Dazui, who loves gossip.
When Li Dazui went to the toilet in the middle of the night, he happened to see the two of them sneaking around. When he saw the large and small bags on their bodies, how could he not follow them quietly to see what they were going to do? Then he saw the real "strange things" in his life.
He did not consider the consequences of telling this matter at all, and he really did not dishonor his reputation.
When the whole village was having breakfast, the topic most people talked about at the table was what he saw and heard in a embellished way.
The villagers didn't believe him at first, but this time there was a witness they could trust.
The area where Qin Zhaoyun was kicked by the demon was branded with two small paw prints covered with purple-black bloodshot eyes. What was worse was that there was poison in the claws, which caused the injury to deteriorate very quickly.
Within two hours, Qin Zhaoyun's chest felt like a piece of burnt sesame seed cake, and the claw marks were eroding at a rate of hours, causing Qin Zhaoyun endless pain.
However, the existing detoxification methods have little effect, and even self-prepared medicinal wine cannot relieve the injury.
Qin Zhaoyun's medical skills were limited, so he decided to go to the city for medical treatment. But it was too early and there were no buses, so Jiang Jinjiu had no choice but to ask the villagers who were going to the city today to leave early, and left the village in their pick-up truck at dawn.
Unexpectedly, his daughter took the opportunity to get in the car and chatted with Qin Zhaoyun along the way. During this period, he discovered Qin Zhaoyun's chest injury and asked about the reason. Qin Zhaoyun lied and said it was an accident during a performance. When she returned to the village and heard what Li Dazui had seen and heard, Qin Zhaoyun's lies were exposed.
She confirmed Li Dazui's description, so the whole village believed him and began to suspect Jiang Jinjiu and Qin Zhaoyun's identities and their purpose of coming to the village.
What's more important is that Li Dazui said that the monster was not dead, but just turned into a puff of smoke and escaped. Therefore, the villagers are more afraid that Jiang Jinjiu and Qin Zhaoyun will not come back. If the weasel spirit comes again, no one will be able to deal with it and innocent people will be affected.
This thought caused a certain degree of panic, but because the village chief was an atheist, he didn't go too far. It was just neighbors trying to figure out what to do.
Unexpectedly, the nosy Li Dazui went to the city hospital to find Jiang Jinjiu and Qin Zhaoyun to find out what was going on.
Jiang Jinjiu did not dare to reveal his true identity and lied that he used his spare time to write supernatural novels and came to collect materials when he knew about the strange things in the village.
He lied that Qin Zhaoyun was his friend and his grandfather was a member of the Taoist sect, so he had this skill, which was an important knowledge base during his creation.
The purpose of asking Qin Zhaoyun to come was to let him evaluate whether there was any mystery behind the affairs in the village. Unexpectedly, something happened as soon as he arrived.
Li Dazui didn't really believe it, but Jiang Jinjiu said that if he really had a conspiracy, he should be fully armed. How could he go into battle lightly and seek death, and be injured like this?
"Brother Qin, tell me..." Li Dazui said nonchalantly, "Will that yellow guy come again tonight?"
"No, that guy is injured and cannot come out to cause trouble for at least seven days."
In fact, Qin Zhaoyun was not sure either.
Although the voltage of the battery is high, the current is not large. Even if the person is stunned and paralyzed, how can it cause substantial harm to the evil spirit?
Besides, the one who rushed into the river and drank wine escaped completely. The fierce battle last night most likely angered them, and it is reasonable to retaliate tonight.
But we can't call the whole village to immigrate because of this, so we have to comfort everyone with good words first, so that the villagers will not be worried day and night, and let the evil spirits attack them as easily as stepping on ants. Or you may take some ignorant precautions, but provoke them and cause death.
Li Dazui felt relieved after hearing this, but he fell into the old habit of gossiping again. Regardless of whether it is true or false, even if the old man talks in his sleep with a strange voice, he will regard it as a strange thing and ask Qin Zhaoyun to analyze it.
Later, it was no big deal, so he asked Qin Zhaoyun to read fortune-telling.
Fortunately, Qin Zhaoyun lied and said he didn't know how, otherwise he wouldn't be able to rest at all during the few days he was hospitalized.
But who is Li Dazui? He has to find something to say when he has nothing to say.
"Eh? Where do you two think this thing comes from? Why haven't we seen or heard of it before? And there's nothing wrong with it?"
The implication is that the disaster was caused by Jiang Jinjiu and Qin Zhaoyun.
Qin Zhaoyun smiled but did not answer, thinking deeply in his heart.
Jiang Jinjiu shook his head and said, "Brother, what you said is wrong. Someone has said it before."
Slowly he took out his notebook, dug out the post posted by Grandma Sun's grandson, and pointed out the legend about the red-haired spirit to Li Dazui.
He pretended to be serious and said, "If this is true, it is very likely that these are the pair of yellow men who were banned decades ago. Otherwise, how could the injury on Zhaoyun's chest be so severe, even the skin was not broken?" On the contrary, it’s like being poisoned.”
"This prodigal brat!" Li Dazui slapped his thigh and said angrily, "I asked him now and he didn't tell me, but now I know how to tell him. It's a waste of time!"
Jiang Jinjiu smiled bitterly and said, "Brother, you can't blame him. He probably doesn't believe it and just posted it for entertainment."
"Then what should we do if it's really those two things?" Li Dazui was immediately frightened when he saw the power. He stared at Qin Zhaoyun's chest and said, "Those things look very powerful. Their claws will burn people. Ordinary people can’t control it based on their moral character!”
"Brother, don't worry." Qin Zhaoyun smiled and said, "Someone could cure it back then, and it can be cured now. I will invite a more powerful person to come. Brother, just don't talk nonsense when you return to the village. Don't let everyone panic and do unnecessary things." It would be good if they act to alert others. If the strange things in the past were all caused by them, this year’s incident has passed and they should not come out to harm others again.”
"Then why are we fighting with you?" Li Dazui interrupted and asked.
"I predict……"
Jiang Jinjiu wanted to express his opinion, but Qin Zhaoyun suddenly winked at him and signaled him to shut up.
Qin Zhaoyun said, "It's just a coincidence. They took energy during the day, and when they came out to practice at night, we accidentally bumped into me. They also found something detrimental to them on me. They may have thought we were enemies."
"That……"
Li Dazui was about to ask again, but Qin Zhaoyun interrupted him and said, "Brother, don't worry, I will take care of this matter. I can't bear this pain in vain. I will treat them after I recover from my injuries."
Seeing Qin Zhaoyun's determination, Li Dazui relaxed and left the hospital.
Jiang Jinjiu sent Li Dazui away, but after returning to the ward, he still couldn't help but express his thoughts.
"Brother Zhaoyun, you said those two things attacked us, could it be because we did something wrong and offended them?"
"Oh? Why do you say that?"
"Well... I can't explain clearly, but when I couldn't move my body last night, I felt like that thing hated me very much, and was very angry, as if it was full of rage."
"If that's the case..." Qin Zhaoyun pondered for a while and said, "Maybe it's right. This village probably belongs to their territory. We, no, it should be my relationship. I am a member of the Taoist sect, and I have a talisman on me. Jade, they are measuring the location here again. They think that my actions are infringing on their territory, so they want to get rid of me. That’s why one of them will possess you, and the other will possess the body of the same kind. They just want to It’s just killing me.”
"I'll go! It looks like it's not easy to deal with. What is Brother Zhaoyun going to do?"
"This time I just fought an unprepared battle."
Qin Zhaoyun glanced sideways at Jiang Jinjiu, which meant, "If you hadn't rushed the duck to the shelf, how could I be like this?!"
Jiang Jinjiu had no reaction to this, and Qin Zhaoyun secretly sighed that this person was heartless and said, "You need to have enough magic weapons to deal with them, but if I go back to get them, it will take me ten days at a time, and my injury is not healed yet... ...I can only find my sister."
"Your sister!?" Jiang Jinjiu pretended to be surprised. There was a burst of joy in my heart, and I began to think that they were destined.
Qin Zhaoyun didn't notice Jiang Jinjiu's secretive look and said, "Yes, my sister's name is Qin Qinxuan. Although her ability to catch ghosts and subjugate demons is a little bit inferior to mine, she is not an ordinary character. With her here, she can at least take care of her." You're the one who's holding me back, so I can't be distracted."
"As expected of brother and sister, they both have such mean mouths." Jiang Jin said in his heart, but he also knew that what he said was the truth.
At that time, the weasel pounced on him several times. If Qin Zhaoyun hadn't supported him, he would have died long ago. He was indeed a hindrance.
However, Jiang Jinjiu was thick-skinned. Although he was embarrassed, he still smiled and said, "I am a mortal. Of course I can't resist monsters and ghosts. I have to take care of Brother Zhaoyun in the future."
"Are you a mortal? How can you, a mortal, come to save me at this critical moment?" Qin Zhaoyun thought to himself.
Thinking back on Jiang Jinjiu's escape from the evil spirits without his own help, it was something he shouldn't have done. But this is the case, but I can’t think of a reason why.
He couldn't help but said, "Maybe you have some secrets hidden in your body. I'll have to peel you open and take a look some other day."
"Peel!?" Jiang Jinjiu smiled bitterly, "I only have one layer of skin, how can I still be a human being if I peel it off?"
Suddenly, a delicate and soft female voice came: "Brother Qin, it's time to take medicine——"
The two female nurses pushed each other to Qin Zhaoyun's bedside. Shi Jiang Jinjiuyu Wuwu just pushed him aside, ending their conversation.
Jiang Jinjiu watched the two nurses vying to flatter each other, so he had no choice but to sit in the corner.
But what they didn't expect was that although Li Dazui was deceived by their sincere looks, his mouth just couldn't be closed. After returning to the village, they spread the word and immediately became the saviors in the eyes of the villagers.
Finally, Li Dazui still had some sense and didn't say anything alarming. However, the exaggeration is behind the scenes. These people stated that they were helping to take care of the injured, but in fact they were conducting surveillance.
There are three floors inside and outside, one in the ward, one at the entrance, and two people set up a fruit stall outside the hospital, as if they were afraid that people would escape.
Three days later, Xi'an Railway Station.
Jiang Jinjiu and Qin Zhaoyun came to the train station to pick up people. Jiang Jinjiu thought Qinxuan was alone, but he didn't expect that there was a skinny old man in a green coat accompanying him.
The brother and sister called him Master Xu, and he was Xu Changde, the master of Fuyun Temple in Hubei Province. He is quite famous in the world, and his skills are not to mention.
There was only one purpose in inviting him here, to block the limelight for the brothers and sisters, and to let others know that the person handling this matter was Master Xu, not the Qin brothers and sisters.
Jiang Jinjiu was very happy to see Qin Xuan again, but Qin Xuan put on a very bad face and scolded him when they met, "I knew it was you, the god of plague, who caused this. Last time, it wasn't enough that I was covered in shit. This time You almost killed my brother! If there is something wrong with him, even if you die ten times, it won’t be enough for me to satisfy my hatred! Why do you still have the honor to still be alive in this world!?"
"Hoho? Do you two know each other?" Qin Zhaoyun interrupted and asked.
Jiang Jinjiu smiled awkwardly and was about to speak, but Qin Xuan snorted and said, "I've had the bad luck of knowing him for eight lifetimes. Brother, how did you know him?"
Jiang Jinjiu was afraid that Qin Zhaoyun would make threats, so he hurriedly stepped forward to stop him and said, "Qin Xuan and Master Xu just got off the car and are tired. Let's go to the hotel to rest and have a meal before we talk."
"Pighead! Do you still have time to rest now!? You don't want to think about how many days have passed. Go to the village now and find a car quickly."
As Qin Xuan spoke, he poked Jiang Jinjiu's chest with his finger, causing him to stumble backward and finally lean against a stone pillar.
Jiang Jinjiu was in so much pain that he couldn't even make a sound. Qin Xuan's fingers were like awls, and he felt like he had been pierced.
However, Jiang Jinjiu had a better impression of her. Although Qinxuan was savage, he knew how to prioritize things, otherwise he would have gone straight to the village after getting off the train.
Normally, you should settle down in the city first, do some planning, and then enter the village the next day.
The four of them entered the village in a van arranged by the village. As soon as they stood still, the village elders rushed over to "welcome" them. Qinxuan was so frightened that he hid in the car and did not dare to come out.
This is again the work of Li Dazui. He made a phone call saying that a fairy has come down to earth, and it was his grandson who deceived people.
In the end, he had no choice but to hold Jiang Jinjiu's arm and pretend to be intimate before fighting his way out. As a result... Jiang Jinjiu became the public enemy of men.
After all, these villagers have some sense of propriety, or they are afraid of causing harm to innocent people. When the business started, only some idle people watched from a distance, while the rest went to work.
The four of them came to the center of the village and chose a five-story tree. Qin Zhaoyun climbed to the top of the tree with the detector and set it up.
Master Xu wanted to know the topography of a five-kilometer radius—actually he was interested in high-tech equipment and wanted to see the effects.
After about half an hour, the scanned image appears on the screen.
After everyone watched for a long time, Qin Xuan, Qin Zhaoyun, and Master Xu all said "Eh" in unison.
"What's wrong! What's wrong!?" Jiang Jinjiu asked urgently.
The three of them ignored him and crowded around the screen to completely exclude him.
"You read that right, it's Huiyang Bureau." Master Xu rubbed his chin, rarely opened his loose eyelids, pointed at the dense black dots on the map on the screen and said, "Although we haven't confirmed where the seven levels are here, from now on The appearance is no different from what is recorded in the book... This is the first time I have seen this situation in my long life, and I don’t know who did it.”
"It seems something is not right." Qin Zhaoyun said, "I determined the location of the three levels a few days ago, but none of them are on point. The deviation is not small."
"That's weird..." Qin Xuan took out a wooden ruler to measure the distance between the points and detailed the layout of the houses. The result was very certain. "That's right, this should be the Huiyang Bureau."
At this time, Jiang Jinjiu finally squeezed forward from behind and saw the "Huiyang Bureau" they were talking about.
Naturally, he couldn't understand it, so he asked Master Xu for help.
To put it simply, it is a formation composed of nine points on the map and the houses included in them.
The nine points connected together form an ellipse, with one point at the center of the circle. In addition, the point due east is not aligned with the point due west, and the map is off by more than one finger. There is a black dot at each of these points, representing a tree. There are some tree points around the tree, at least three and at most seven. With the tree at the point as the center, they are distributed in the southeast, northeast, northwest, and southwest according to certain rules. There is no tree in the right direction. .
Jiang Jin looked at the wine, left and right, but couldn't see anything strange. Instead, I discovered that the shape surrounded by some tree spots outside the village seemed to be a larger Huiyang Bureau, but the orientation was different.
The more he looked, the more he looked like him. He wanted to ask Qin Xuan, but he was afraid that she would make fun of him. He simply drew a smaller version on his paper and compared it with the "Huiyang Bureau" they said, and the result was... exactly the same!
"Qinxuan, Brother Zhaoyun, Master Xu, look at this!"
Jiang Jinjiu proudly placed the paper next to Huiyang Bureau, stretched out his sword and gestured, "There is also a Huiyang Bureau outside the village."
"What!?" The three of them exclaimed at the same time, "Huiyang heavy game!"
