When Baihao saw that it was the talisman granted by the rumored Grand Temple Master himself, he couldn't help but waved his hands and dared not accept it: "Okay, you don't have to show me this thing, I can't understand it anyway. You are not outsiders of Xiangfeng Temple, what do you need? Do it yourselves.”
After receiving the watcher's permission, Dongfang Shiming nodded in thanks. Bai Hao also tied up the carriage and ran over.
After chatting briefly for a few more words, Baihao decided to leave when he saw someone coming to the temple. Dongfang Shiming said goodbye to him, and walked around the courtyard of Xiangfeng Temple with Bai Hao. Finally, Dongfang Shiming decided to start from that wing.
That's where my mother was killed. It is also the cause of everything.
He stepped forward and opened the door solemnly. The old door hinge made an old "Ah-" sound, and the mottled light from outside shone into the ground of the old house.
There were still a few weeds on the ground, and they only moved slightly with the wind when the door was opened.
There are only four walls left here, and there is a small, empty shrine on the wall. Opposite is a window covered with torn paper. After many years, it has become dilapidated due to no one taking care of it.
But everything is asleep. There are no traces here that can still be preserved after more than ten years, and the cracks in the broken bricks are exposed in the walls. The ground quietly accepted Dongfang Shiming's shadow, with only its outline under the dim light.
Bai Hao poked her head over and looked inside: "It seems... I have to use a talisman, right?"
Dongfang Shiming nodded. Looking here with the naked eye alone, there is nothing worth noting, and even the smell has been taken over by the choking smell of dust.
However, the reason why he spent so much time to open the Xiang Temple to learn the talismans was precisely to deal with this situation. Now is the time for his talisman to come in handy.
Bai Hao stood outside the door, always watching to see if Bai Hao came over. Dongfang Shiming gently half-closed the door, deep in thought, recalling Professor Luan Fufeng's talismans, and slowly took out two ready-made talismans from the bag.
He separated the talisman papers and held one in each hand. Facing the empty room, he took a deep breath and followed the teachings to move the true energy in his Dantian Qi sea, gathering it on his fingertips.
Then, he gently bit his index finger. A drop of blood containing his true energy merged with the cinnabar of the spiritual talisman, and suddenly the runes on it flashed with dots of rainbow light.
Dongfang Shiming took another breath and concentrated on using the terminology. The surrounding air seemed to be manipulated by spiritual talismans, causing fluctuations that were difficult to discern with the naked eye. Then, a little bit of firefly-like light gathered and attached to the talisman.
"The treasure talisman of the family register, rise."
The last murmur fell, and the talisman between Dongfang Shiming's fingers suddenly broke away from his hand and floated in the air.
In the process of driving the spiritual talisman, Dongfang Shiming's meager true energy only serves as an introduction to activate the spiritual energy in the air, and is controlled by the spiritual power contained in the spiritual talisman.
The clan spirit talisman is the easier to master among the three spiritual talismans, and it is also very helpful for Dongfang Shiming's investigation.
I saw the talisman floating in the air, and after a burst of blue mist flashed by, everything that happened in this house at that moment, as well as the details that were difficult to detect at the time, will be recorded in the talisman. If necessary, just set it on fire and the moment recorded in it will be reproduced as a virtual image.
Since this is a serious investigation, recording everything is indispensable. Standing in the house, Dongfang Shiming calmed down and activated the second talisman again.
"Dot mark, start."
A faint light emerged from the texture of another talisman paper. Dongfang Shiming stared at this talisman, looked around, and began to circle around the room with his eyes slightly closed.
Using the blood seeping from his fingertips as a medium, the spiritual power of the talisman resonates with the content in Dongfang Shiming's mind. The light gradually increased, and Dongfang Shiming's pace in the circle became slower and slower. Finally, he stopped suddenly and opened his eyes suddenly.
This is where the Dot Trace Talisman's induction is strongest.
Dongfang Shiming looked around. It was not against a wall, and there were no unnecessary things around. Dongfang Shiming frowned, finally squatted down, pulled out the silver fan, and carefully pried out a floor tile.
This is the secret of the dot mark. The so-called passing geese leave a sound and the passing of people leave traces. The dot mark uses the "traces" or "aura" left by the passing people on specific items to reflect a series of activities of the people at that time.
However, because an object has usually been used or touched by many people, if a specific goal is not clearly defined in the mind in advance, the mind will be confused by the confusing information absorbed by the talisman. Determining the movements of the person you are looking for will also be affected by the wear and tear of time. If the person you are looking for is farther away from the present, the ingested records will be more blurry and short-lived.
Dongfang Shiming slowly pressed the dot mark on the pried out stone bricks.
Based on the reaction just now, this brick is the richest record left in this house. However, more than ten years have passed, and I don’t know how much information can be reproduced.
The magical talisman instantly merged with the stone bricks. Dongfang Shiming closed his eyes again, and suddenly felt like a countercurrent river rushing past in front of his eyes. Although he had no time to pay attention, he knew that these were all images of time in his mind.
Soon, the dot mark reappeared in front of him with the picture he needed!
He opened his eyes and was shocked to see two bodies as transparent as blue crystal appearing in front of him. He stretched out his hand and it passed through his body. He immediately knew that these two transparent bodies were his mother and that other person!
Dongfang Shiming quickly looked at their facial features, but the result, as expected, made his heart sink.
Due to the chaos at the scene and the long time, Dongfang Shiming could no longer distinguish the facial features of the two people. The faces of the two reflections seemed to have melted, with only a little bit of inconspicuous convexity, but even so, Dongfang Shiming tried his best to remember a little bit of that person's facial features, that is, compared with the reflection that resembled his mother, he was particularly tall. tip of the nose.
As if he noticed that Dongfang Shiming's thoughts had changed, suddenly, one of the images actually moved!
"oh?!"
Dongfang Shiming immediately locked his eyes on that figure, and at the same time he noticed another figure that looked like his mother, still lying on the ground, motionless.
And the moving body first fell to his knees; then he got up, made a laborious movement to open the door, and ran out of the hut quickly!
Dongfang Shiming reacted immediately and ran towards the door after the figure.
At the same time, he heard Bai Hao outside the door saying to Taoist Bai Hao, "Shi Ming is inside, so don't disturb her. You can't go in yet." He yanked the door open with both hands, making Bai Hao and the two of them startled.
Dongfang Shiming could see that the blue body was fading and disappearing quickly, and immediately told Bai Hao: "Bai Hao, help me put away the talisman hanging in the ancestral register. I'll go chase the clues!"
