"That cat was taken out by a maid named Xiaolan while Rongmiao was sleeping and given to another woman named Rong Manli. Also that day, it was because Xiaolan put some medicine in Rongmiao's tea. So Rong Miao was so sleepy that she didn’t know what was going on.”
"As for Xiaolan doing this, it came from Uncle Chen's instruction. Xiaolan and Uncle Chen have actually known each other for a long time. Uncle Chen introduced Xiaolan to Rongzhai and seemed to have given her a very good job. The purpose was just Using this as a threat, I want to get Xiaolan’s body.”
"As for the other servant girl, she has also been bribed by Rong Manli. Otherwise, although there is a covering circle under Rong Miao's bed, which is invisible to the naked eye, it is still easy to be discovered when cleaning, so Rong Manli bribed her He arrested the servant woman and told her not to say anything even if she discovered something."
"Do you know why they wanted to assassinate Rong Miao?"
"They don't know the reason. Rong Manli asked them to do everything."
"But in the dreams of the three people, besides Rong Manli, there was another person who came to the villa that day. That person had been with Rong Manli that day."
"And Rong Manli finally handed the white cat to that person, and it was that person who killed the white cat."
"What kind of person is that?"
Shu Guan's eyes suddenly condensed.
He has been observing for many days. That Rong Manli is just an ordinary person, and naturally not the one who used the head-dropping technique on Rong Miao.
Therefore, "that person" mentioned by the fifth senior brother should be the key to this incident.
An Zichun's expression became more solemn at this moment.
"I didn't see it. Because in the dreams of the three people, that person was just a shadow in the lake."
"This shows that that person deliberately used magic to prevent other practitioners from using Taoist magic such as dreaming to spy on his appearance through those three people. Junior brother, you also said that on top of the cat corpse, there are already The secret was concealed."
"Then that practitioner is not only proficient in the art of lowering his head, but he also probably has deep knowledge in the hexagram path. Since I can't spy on his true appearance, this person's cultivation level in the hexagram path should be higher than mine."
"So Seventh Junior Brother, today's matter may not be that simple. Since this person is also proficient in the art of divination, he will definitely give a divination before acting."
"So Seventh Junior Brother, you can't think that you are hiding in the dark. As long as he makes a hexagram, he is likely to know what happened today. You, a practitioner, intervened."
While talking, An Zichun raised his hand and took out a talisman pen.
"Seventh Junior Brother, reach out."
Upon hearing this, Shu Guan quickly stretched out the palm of his right hand.
An Zichun quickly drew a talisman on Shu Guan's palm with a talisman pen.
The rune pattern shone slightly in the palm of Shuguan's right palm, then disappeared under Shuguan's skin.
"Seventh Junior Brother, I have now covered up your secret in this matter, but I am not sure whether I can completely cover up your traces. Because that person is better at hexagram and Taoism than me, so he is It is still possible to see some clues in the hexagrams."
An Zichun said to Shu Guan seriously.
"But what if he has already divined that I am involved in this matter?"
Shu Guan thought for a while and asked again.
"And I broke his head-lowering technique. He seemed to have noticed it at that time. Naturally, he already knew that a practitioner was involved in this matter."
An Zichun pondered for a moment and said:
"Everyone who practices hexagrams knows the two rules of one hexagram, one hexagram, and one hexagram, one thing. But in fact, after these two rules, there is another rule, but it requires the practitioner to reach a certain level in the hexagram path. Understand and feel that this rule is: no matter what happens, don’t make a hexagram.”
"The meaning of this rule is that you can't make fortune-telling for yourself every day when you have nothing to do. You can only make fortune-telling when you really encounter something that needs to be asked. Otherwise, if you often make fortune-telling at will, your spiritual consciousness will become worse and worse. The slower you are, the less and less the secrets you can see in the hexagrams will become more and more vague."
"This rule, the deeper you practice in hexagram art, the more you will understand its importance. Therefore, generally practitioners of hexagram art who have reached the realm of first awareness will gradually develop an unwritten habit, that is, when you When you do something, you will usually ask for divination on the day you do it. Since that person is proficient in divination, senior brother expects that he will only ask for divination today."
Having said this, An Zichun raised his head and glanced at the position of the stars in the sky, smiled at Shu Guan and said:
"Seventh Junior Brother, you have also practiced the hexagram technique, and naturally you know the taboo of not fortune-telling at Zi Shi, so even if he wants to ask for hexagrams, he has to wait until Zi Shi has passed."
"It's just past midnight. Even if he hasn't slept all night and is waiting, I'm afraid he's just had his fortune-telling!"
"However, his head-lowering technique was broken. He must have realized that other practitioners were involved in this matter, and perhaps he had already predicted it for you at that time."
"But knowing someone was involved and whether you would show up today are two different things."
"The most important thing is that even if he is better than me in the hexagram, since I have concealed your secret, Junior Brother Seventh, it is absolutely impossible for him to figure out your true identity, Junior Brother."
While listening to what the fifth senior brother said, Shu Guan rubbed his temples and felt a little headache.
...This is investigation and counter-investigation...
It turns out that the battle between the two hexagram masters was a complete brainstorm!
"I really want to thank Fifth Senior Brother this time. It was originally my solo mission, but in the end I still had to come to help."
Then Shu Guan said with some embarrassment.
An Zichun was invited by him when he returned to Guan yesterday. After hearing the conversation between Uncle Yang and Xiaolan on the bed, although Shu Guan had guessed the general context of the matter, in order to know the whole matter more completely, so I asked the fifth senior brother to perform the dream-entering technique to learn more details.
In addition, regarding the dream-entering technique, since Shu Guan is following the Yin-Yang Avenue, he should be able to practice it. However, the dream-entering technique is not one of the thirty-two Taoist arts in the Daozang Pavilion, but is placed among the ten on the third floor. Among the two rooms, one of the Taoist techniques is dedicated to each avenue. These Taoist techniques can only be practiced by disciples of their respective paths.
At this time, An Zichun smiled and said:
"Seventh Junior Brother, you have actually done a good job. Like the rat demon, Sixth Junior Brother was unable to find any trace of him in Xiushui Street a year ago, but Seventh Junior Brother, you were caught as soon as you came."
"In addition, what happened in this villa was also discovered by you, seventh junior brother. Otherwise, a practitioner who is proficient in witchcraft and hexagrams acted secretly. Maybe we would still have no idea after this woman died."
"Also, junior brother, do you really don't want me to stay and help you?"
"Thank you Fifth Senior Brother, but I want to do the next thing by myself. Master also said that the guy hiding in the dark cannot be a strong man in the Fetal Movement Realm. Otherwise, I would not be able to use the head-lowering technique he performed. No clues can be found.”
An Zichun nodded and did not insist. He knew very well that in terms of combat ability, the seventh junior brother was actually the most important and strongest person besides his master and senior brother. What is missing is nothing more than experience in dealing with such unusual matters.
】
"Then Seventh Junior Brother, please be more careful."
Then An Zichun was about to leave, but when he turned around, he seemed to remember something. He turned around again, looked at Shu Guan with a half-smile but said:
"That woman's dream is all about you."
Shu Guan was stunned for a moment, and then he immediately realized that the "woman" mentioned by the fifth senior brother was naturally Rong Miao.
A strange feeling suddenly arose in Shu Guan's heart. The fire that had been poured down by the cold rain began to burn brightly again.
How many times have Rong Miao and myself met?
The first time was at Lixing Spinning Factory, the first time was at her home, the third time was at Jasmine Restaurant, and the fourth time was just last night.
They met four times, and they only exchanged dozens of words in total, but in her dreams, she was always herself.
What about yourself?
Is he really just trying to complete a mission by protecting her every step of the way?
Shu Guan stood blankly on the roof, staring blankly at the white villa in the distance.
An Zichun couldn't help but sigh softly when he saw this, and then he patted Shu Guan on the shoulder.
"Senior Brother seems to have said something to you and Sixth Junior Brother before, but that's just my experience as a person who has experienced this."
"But in this kind of thing, how can you know how to choose? So just listen to what senior brother said and don't take it seriously."
"People who are not romantic spend their youth in vain."
An Zichun laughed and left.
A smile slowly appeared on Shu Guan's face. It was a smile that was somewhat joyful and happy. He remembered the scene when he first saw Rong Miao.
It seemed that after that time, he never forgot that woman again.
Then Shu Guan sat down and began to wait for dawn.
…
Today is indeed a good day, with a gentle breeze and warm sunshine. Only the leaves of the sycamore trees scattered on the street remind people that there was a violent storm last night.
At around 9 a.m., a white Beetle parked outside the gate of No. 8 Jingfu Road.
After monitoring Rong Miao for so many days, Shu Guan naturally knew who the owner of this car was. He also knew that this small and exquisite-looking car was worth more than three times the value of the Volkswagen that Rong Miao originally drove.
Of course, for the owner of this car, maybe this is just a little toy for her.
The door next to the driver's seat of the Beetle opened, and a charming young woman wearing a Western-style tutu and a black gauze top hat, dressed fashionably and fashionably, got out of the car.
Shu Guan narrowed his eyes, slightly surprised.
Is Rong Manli the only one here?
He was pretty sure there was no one else in that car.
"Miss Manli, why are you here today?"
Uncle Yang opened the iron door with a respectful smile, and Rong Miao also walked out of the villa at this time.
"Sister Miao said her car broke down last night, so I have to be her driver today."
"Sister Miao, I've told you before, why do you need to drive such a bad car?"
Rong Manli giggled and waved to say hello to Rong Miao across the lawn, smiling innocently.
Just when she walked into the iron gate and passed by Uncle Yang, the two people quickly exchanged a complicated look.
