Li Er knocked Qin Zhaoyun unconscious with one punch, but suffered a mild concussion and remained in coma for a whole day.
Qin Xuan knew that Li Er's punch was not a physical blow, but a spiritual strike. If it weren't for Qin Zhaoyun's stable soul, ordinary people would have lost their souls long ago. It's just that Qin Zhaoyun was unprepared at the time and received a solid punch. He was afraid that he would have to sleep for two or three days before waking up.
As for why Li Er suddenly had the ability to attack entities, Qinxuan and Gongsun Zhi discussed it afterwards.
Based on various clues, Gongsun Zhi speculated that Li Er was the so-called corpse-dissolving immortal in Taoism.
When Li Er was seriously injured, he happened to light the soul suppressor and his soul was refined. Later, he used a grenade to kill the enemy together, which was equivalent to using fire to transform into a spirit body. After years of silence, he accumulated longevity, and now he has opened a sect to accept disciples and receive incense and offerings. Li Er has become the master of the sect, which is equivalent to crossing the threshold of becoming an immortal and starting to climb the ladder of advancement.
Originally, Li Er's Taoism was shallow, and the state he presented was an illusory body that could not be touched by living people.
However, becoming the founder of a sect and being worshiped by his disciples is equivalent to being a reserve member who is qualified to enter the Immortal Family. He can start cultivating his true body and become a full member on the day of success.
With this kind of worship relationship, disciples can ask gods, and Li Er can turn into a physical entity to protect the disciples. And in the initial stage, it can only be attached to the disciple and cannot become a separate entity.
In other words, Jiang Jinjiu can use cheats to fight ghosts at any time.
But the ideal is very full, and the reality is very skinny.
As a master, Li Er was very responsible. Whenever Jiang Jinjiu had free time, Li Er asked him to stand on his horse and practice basic skills. He was very cooperative on the first day, but on the second day his back and thighs were so sore that he always looked for excuses to be lazy.
He sent more than twenty text messages a day to the newspaper's information staff, asking if he had any assignments. Finally, I asked him to rush someone. It was still a business trip.
What Jiang Jinjiu wanted to investigate this time was a women's bathing center. According to the name there, it should be called Bathhouse.
The location is located in Shenyang, and the name of the store is "Weaver Girl Bathhouse", but this bathhouse closed many years ago.
Zhinu Bathhouse was originally a bathhouse for employees of the textile factory. Because almost all of the factory workers were female workers, the factory director named it "Weaver Girl Bathhouse".
Later, the textile factory did not perform well and began to sell off its assets. An employee named Zhang bought the bathhouse, thinking that he would get a bargain and make a lot of money. Unexpectedly, the factory was in decline, and employees were laid off one after another. Within a few years, the factory closed down, and the Zhinu Bathhouse closed down as well.
A few years later, the factory site was acquired, and the bathhouse was also acquired. However, Zhang said loudly and did not think about whether his bathhouse was in a remote location and whether it was worth the price he offered. As a result, the bathhouse became a deadlock.
Zhang is still unrepentant and thinks that he will make money by reopening the bathhouse after the new project is completed. As a result, the newly built industrial park was fully equipped, and his small bathhouse was nowhere to be found.
Moreover, the developer planted trees all around the bathhouse, surrounding it like a haunted house, and no one dared to go there.
Zhang wanted to sue the developer, but it was reasonable for them to plant trees on their land and leave a way in and out of the bathhouse. Zhang wanted to sell his house, but the developer no longer needed it and ignored him. Zhang regretted that he could only let the bathhouse be abandoned and find another way out.
I don’t know how long it took, but rumors gradually spread that the women’s bathhouse in the woods was haunted.
At first people didn't take it seriously, but later someone found out that it was the place where the Japanese murdered and buried the bodies of Chinese people, and more people started to believe it.
Some employees said they saw a monster with two heads coming out, some heard a woman's screams coming from inside, the female ghost in white or red is essential in the haunted house, and some saw many snakes in the bathhouse. Wandering around...
In the end, those were just scary people.
The so-called two-headed monster is a man and woman making out. The woman's screams are just made by the person who is having an affair here. All kinds of female ghosts are man-made pranks.
As for many snakes, whenever there is continuous heavy rain, many animals will always come here to take shelter. Someone once saw five foxes gathering here. They stayed there for more than ten days and then disappeared without a trace.
However, in the past six months, the atmosphere in the bathhouse area has changed.
People found that there were no longer any animals there, even the birds no longer lived in the surrounding woods, and the area of the bathhouse fell into a dead silence.
The inner edge of the forest is about 40 meters away from the bathhouse. The trees grow wildly in the 100-meter area centered on the bathhouse. The trees on the inner edge are obviously more than five meters taller than the trees outside the area. The leaves are dense and plump, shiny and black. Each poplar tree is like an afro, and even the entrance and exit are covered under the branches and leaves, making the bathhouse airtight.
What's even more strange is that there are no weeds growing in the open space in the area, but they are covered with moss. But when the moss reaches the base of the bathhouse wall, it stops spreading, as if there is a barrier.
This scene did not dissuade people from going there to have an affair at first, but one rainy night, a man and a woman ran out of the woods, both disheveled and extremely frightened. They said that there were will-o'-the-wisps everywhere inside and outside the bathhouse, and they saw an extremely thin man covered in tar crawling out of the bathhouse and chasing them like a spider.
After the two returned to the dormitory, they developed a high fever within two hours. However, the fever lasted for nearly a month and doctors could not find out the cause.
The daring co-workers organized and went to the bathhouse to check, and found a group of bats hidden inside. After killing them several times, some of them escaped. So a "Danger, No Entry" sign was placed on the way in and out of the bathhouse.
When outsiders who didn't know the reason saw this brand and heard the rumors, they used their imagination to derive various versions.
Passed by ten, Zhinv Bathhouse has become a hot topic in recent times.
Qinxuan learned that Jiang Jinjiu was going to Shenyang and wanted to go with him.
Jiang Jinjiu was so happy that he didn't care what her purpose was. I lined up early to buy a ticket for a double sleeper room, bought high-end snacks and drinks, and arrived early the next day to wait patiently in front of the train station.
At almost nine o'clock, Qinxuan walked towards him amid the lights.
She was pulling a silver medium-sized suitcase and wearing a light green top and gray pants sports suit, which was still very slim. With her ponytail and a black mask, she looked like a model taking an outdoor photo shoot, attracting the attention of many passers-by.
The two of them got on the car without missing a moment and entered the compartment.
Jiang Jinjiu had just put away their suitcases when he suddenly smelled a strange fragrance.
Qinxuan was fanning a wooden folding fan, and the fragrance became stronger every time he fanned it. It smells like floral, fruity, and pine scent mixed together, but with distinct layers.
Soon the small car was filled with this fragrance. Qinxuan was still sitting with his legs bent and swinging his fan gracefully. Jiang Jinjiu felt intoxicated from body to soul and was fascinated by it.
Qin Xuan didn't take it seriously, and instead waved the fan in front of his eyes to disrupt his vision.
Jiang Jinjiu scratched the back of his head in embarrassment and giggled, while Qin Xuan still waved the fan in front of his eyes.
I dare you to show off your fan!
Only then did Jiang Jinjiu react and his eyes fell on the fan.
The wooden fan is shorter than a normal fan and longer than a women's incense fan. The fan bones are pink, and a simplified phoenix is carved on the side bones. A yellow bead as big as a soybean is embedded in the position of the eye, as if the eyes of a phoenix are emitting golden light.
The fan is engraved with a flying phoenix in the sea of fire. The magic is that when it is fanned, the fan will reflect purple and turquoise light. It was mixed with sparkling dots, as if it was stained with a lot of gold powder. The fixed threads of the fan are also made of unusual materials, reflecting colorful streams of light. The overall look is as dazzling as a phoenix coming to life.
The white tassel pendant at the bottom of the fan will also reflect the colorful stream of light.
Jiang Jinjiu couldn't help but admire, "This fan is so beautiful."
Qin Xuan took back the fan and smiled contemptuously, "It's just good-looking? I'm really ignorant."
Jiang Jinjiu said to himself, "It's just a fan, it can also be a treasure." He said politely, "So there is a reason? Tell me."
Qinxuan coughed dryly and said, "The material used in this fan is hard to find, and even if you are lucky, you can't come across it. This is the second-turn lightning-struck jujube wood from the land of Sanyang..."
"What is the land of three yangs, where lightning strikes the jujube tree in the second revolution?"
"The land of three yangs means that this place has Tianyang, Diyang and Lingyang at the same time. Tianyang means the place where it grows. There are no cloudy or cloudy weather during the day throughout the year. The sunshine is completely sufficient and the full moon does not shine. The moonlight. Diyang is a volcanic area or there is a magma layer underground, and there is also a protruding cliff on a cliff. Lingyang, to put it simply, is a special dining table for beasts. This is the land of the three yangs, because the yang fire is too strong , even cactus has a hard time surviving. Jujube trees can grow there because monkeys may have eaten jujubes and left seeds, or there may be jujube pits in the prey of beasts. In short, the nutrients decomposed from bone and blood allow the seeds to take root, germinate, and thrive. . Because animals continue to die there to support the jujube tree, over time it becomes spiritual. But the spiritual energy derived from killing, even if the perpetrator is a ferocious beast, the tree will have more evil obstacles. The thunder disaster from the sky is to eliminate the evil. . Second-turn lightning strike, that is, being struck by lightning twice and not dying. This jujube tree has lived for more than 150 years, awesome!"
Jiang Jinjiu smiled bitterly and thought to himself, "What's so awesome about it? I managed to survive twice after being hacked twice, but I'm no match for someone's axe."
He said, "Such a rare thing cannot be expensive anymore."
"Ha!" Qin Xuan rolled his eyes, "Expensive!! How can this be measured in money!! You don't know that after the material is harvested, it needs to be simmered using a secret method for a hundred days. After it comes out of the oven, the wood will be like steel. Full of fragrance. Then the contemporary famous master Feng Zhenren personally carved the fan bone. Not only did he have to carve out a beautiful painting, but he also had to incorporate the divine intention. He also had to hide the talisman into the painting. It took more than a hundred days to complete. Then he found it. Nine nine-year-old girls, whose zodiac signs belong to fire, are placed in the fan bone for an hour at noon every day, and then placed on the red stone to be exposed to the sun for three hours. This will last for eleven days, and nine more girls will be replaced, and the fan bone will continue for eleven days. . To complete nine rounds in this way, it took ninety-nine days and eighty-one girls to complete the process of panning."
"I'm going to go!" Jiang Jinjiu shook his head and clapped his fingers, "It's taken more than three hundred days!"
"Haha, it's not over yet. The fixed wire of the fan is an alloy wire, which has high toughness and high hardness and is not affected by magnetism. The fan nails are made of purple-black rhinoceros horns, the yellow beads in the side bones of the phoenix eyes are relics, and the tassels are Fiber threads are made from leftover materials from making fans. After the fan is formed, it is taken to Laojun Hall in Mount Tai, put into an alchemy furnace, and placed under Laojun's statue for ninety-nine days. Finally, the heavenly book is sacrificed and consecrated. The ceremony is now complete. What do you think? I just want to ask you if you accept it?"
"I'm done with it. Poverty really limits my imagination... So what's the point of this, ahem, arrogant fan?"
"Hmph! The name of this fan is the Phoenix Dance Red Flame Fan."
"It sounds very powerful. How much more powerful than your double swords?"
"Haha, there is no comparison at all. If an ordinary kid is slapped so lightly by Chi Yan, he will immediately feel like he is being roasted on a stove. If I slap him twice more, he will be on fire."
"Wow - Princess Iron Fan."
"Princess Iron Fan, that fan is good for extinguishing fires. I am fanning the flames, and I am lighting thunder and fire. If I use the red flame fan to deal with the big black rat last time, why bother? Bang Bang Bang Bang ! Knock its little head three times and it turns into a roasted field mouse."
"I'm going to go for it! Is it that exaggerated? Can it start a fire after just two knocks?"
"Stupid, of course you can't knock it casually, otherwise you can set it on fire casually. Of course, you need to have a special method to use the thunder and fire power of the fan. The most important thing is that through these two relics, the relics not only seal The power of thunder and fire does not leak out, and spiritual consciousness is injected into the fan. The owner can control the size and intensity of the fire power at will, and the relics are concentrated and transmitted out. There are also relics that can distinguish between living things and evil things. The thunder and fire emitted are harmless to humans and animals, and only harm evil things, ox!"
"Bull! Bull! Bull is in the sky!" Jiang Jinjiu raised his thumb with forsythia. "But you are the best after all. With such a rare artifact in your hands, Sister Xuan is so powerful."
"Haha, no, I'm just lucky. Do you remember those two ghosts?"
"Remember, I remember you said you wanted to train them, but what does it have to do with fans?"
"Yes, I got the fan in exchange for them. The fan belongs to my senior brother. I begged him several times before but he refused to part with me. I heard that I had received two ghosts and they actually wanted to exchange them with me. This is such a cheap deal, sister. Of course I did."
"Wow - so your senior brother is the most awesome!"
"That's right, not only is he highly skilled in Taoism, he is also the chairman of the group and extremely wealthy."
Jiang Jinjiu was frightened, thinking that he did know a chairman who knew Taoism. Could it be such a coincidence?
I couldn't help but ask, "What's your senior brother's name?"
"What? You still want to fawn over?"
"Look what you said, can't I worship you?"
"Haha, listen up, my senior brother's surname is Gongsun, and his single name is Zhi."
Gongsun Zhi!
The world is big, but sometimes it is small.
Jiang Jinjiu said that he knew him, but Qinxuan didn't believe it at first. After Jiang Jinjiu finished telling how the two met, Qin Xuan sighed, "The world is really too small."
