Xu Yanming's residence satisfies all idle clouds and wild cranes' fantasies.
However, it is limited to appearance.
As soon as you enter the door, you will be greeted by a modern style.
The comfortable camel-colored plush carpet is perfect for stepping on with bare feet and feeling the plush massage.
A white wool blanket was spread on a rickety Xiang Fei lounge chair.
There are long rows of soft leather sofas, lying on them feels like lying on clouds.
The warm yellow light is warm and quiet.
A huge projector, perfectly aimed at an entire white wall.
That projector is extremely expensive and is the latest model on the market. It can accurately display movie images and the sound effect is very good. When the door is closed at night and the ghost movie is played, it is as if the ghosts are live. Daochang Xu can COS catch ghosts on the spot.
There are spicy strips, snacks, small cakes, potato chips, and other unhealthy foods on the small coffee table.
Taoist priest Xu was very eloquent about this: We as Taoists pay attention to idealism, that is, if we believe in love, we should leave.
So, how about I enjoy it?
"What to drink?"
The young man opened the refrigerator in a familiar way.
Ning Ning squatted behind him and looked inside, oh, it was full of drinks.
Orange juice, Yeyun coconut juice, Baidu Cola, Bida...
"Brother Ming, have you moved the supermarket back?"
"Well, this one, and this one, I like it better."
Xu Yanming was a little confused: "Milk tea? Juice?"
"Thank you, I want mineral water."
Xu Yanzhao was the first to refuse.
"I want coffee."
Xu Yanyu got a can of instant coffee. It was impossible to grind it by hand, so he could only make do with instant coffee.
"I want milk."
Ning Ning and Zhou Qianqian originally wanted to choose Coke, but under the "watchful eyes" of several parents, they quietly changed it to milk.
Then they were given two jars of yogurt.
"Everyone, take a seat."
Xu Yanming finished his drinks and invited everyone to sit down in the study.
The study looks normal.
Normal here means that it matches well with his immortal style and Taoist aura.
The tables and chairs are matched with rosewood, and the chairs are covered with soft cushions.
On the mahogany desk, the ink on the half-painted talisman is still wet, flowing with a smart and moist luster.
There are landscape and ink paintings on the walls.
There is a Taoist statue of a real person, majestic and upright, full of immortal energy, not angry and self-powerful.
Three sticks of incense were lit under the portrait.
Smoke curled up.
"Wow, brother, there is such a huge gap between you inside and outside."
Ning Ning opened her eyes wide, because when she was in the big house before, she had never seen her brother decorate the room.
Former young Taoist priest: Just muddle through, you just make arrangements.
I have no opinion.
It doesn’t matter if you pay attention to everything.
Now Xu Yanming will decorate his residence according to his own wishes.
Even the portrait of their Taoist sect's ancestral master was brought out.
Anyway, there are only two people in their sect.
His master is the master of the Taoist sect, and he is the senior brother of the Taoist sect. There is no one below, so he can't control them.
Xu Yanming explained: “The villa is full of aura and is very suitable for displaying portraits of our ancestors.”
After explaining, let Zhou's father sit down.
Father Zhou recounted the scene of going to the tomb according to his memory.
"Paper."
Xu Yanming lowered his head, raised his hand and spread it towards Xu Yanyu.
Actor Xu, who was drinking instant coffee: "..."
The two brothers looked at each other.
The great actor Xu stood up angrily and took a piece of A4 white paper: "Do you want a pen?"
Xu Yanming gave him a look.
The despised actor Xu twitched his lips and handed a piece of pen and paper to his "stupid" Ou Doudou.
"Uncle, please try your best to draw down any lines, shapes, and totems that you can remember in the tomb."
"you mean……"
"Taoism is not good at raising corpses, but there are traces to follow in everything."
"If the other party is really raising corpses, he will definitely leave clues, and changing the geomorphology of the place where the corpses are raised is just one of the means. If he really needs to raise corpses, he will definitely leave some corpse raising things around the corpses."
Such as talismans.
Since he is a Taoist, it is not surprising that he is good at using talismans to nourish corpses.
"Okay, let me think about it."
Father Zhou has a very good memory, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he has a photographic memory.
He wrote and drew on the white paper, and soon the white paper was filled with writing.
Then he handed the white paper he had written on to Xu Yanming, took out the next piece of white paper and continued to fill in it.
Xu Yanming looked down, said "Huh" and slowly frowned.
"Any new discoveries?"
"No..." Xu Yanming was not sure: "There are some lines on this drawing that are familiar, but they are only slightly familiar. I still need to see the rest."
Soon, the second and third drawings were drawn.
Father Zhou laid out all these drawings.
He breathed a sigh of relief: "All the shapes I remember are here."
"Please indicate the order of distance from the coffin."
"OK."
According to Xu Yanming's request, Zhou's father arranged the pictures in order: "This is the closest to the coffin. I remember that when I opened the coffin, there was a figure like this on the coffin."
At first, Father Zhou thought that this pattern was a unique symbol of the coffin maker, or a relative of the owner of the coffin during his lifetime, so he specifically requested that this pattern be left behind.
For example, the coffin owner loved certain animals or flowers during his lifetime.
This can be traced in some tombs and has precedents.
So Zhou's father just took a look at it and wasn't too surprised.
"These are at the location of the dome of the coffin."
Dad Zhou took out another drawing, pointed at an icon on the drawing and said.
That icon looks like an eye.
But not like human eyes.
There is an upright pupil in the outline of the long and thin eyes.
Cold, evil and cruel.
"..."
Xu Yanming's expression changed.
Quickly pulling up a few drawings: "Scissors."
Actor Xu, who worked hard to find it, said, "Here."
"Thanks."
Xu Yanming picked up the scissors, cut out some of the patterns on these drawings, and then pieced them together: "You all come over and take a look."
Several people came over one after another.
"Hey, it seems... like a weird monster..."
Children's senses are very sharp. Unlike adults, they will think about whether they have appeared in their memory after seeing something, so they will blurt out their impressions of these things at the first time.
What Zhou Qianqian said was right.
These strange patterns fit together to form a vague outline.
A monster with the eyes of a snake, the head of a man, and the body of a baby.
He looks like a big-headed doll.
But the cold cruelty in those snake eyes clearly showed that he was not a kind person.
And according to Xu Yanming’s guidance, everyone discovered:
The snake's eyes were directly above the head of the coffin owner. Without the coffin lid, for nearly a thousand years, he had been looking at the girl in the coffin with such cruel and cold eyes, like a hunting beast. .
"……this……"
