Qin Bai couldn't help but become interested.
He carefully observed the layout of the houses in Iwago County, which did give people a very strange feeling, but he did not find anything else hidden.
"Why raise corpses?"
Uncle Jiu frowned, and he stretched out his fingers to draw on the screen without any instruction.
"Qi is closely related to Feng Shui. It is said in the "Burial Sutra": 'Qi will disperse when it rides on the wind, and stops when it is bounded by water. The ancients made it not disperse when it was carried out, and stopped when it gathered, so it is called Feng Shui.'"
Qin Bai was naturally half-informed, but he patiently asked for advice: "The pattern here does not gather energy?"
"On the contrary, Brother Qin, look..."
Uncle Jiu pointed to the houses on the screen, which were not far apart.
"If the windows of a house are opposite to each other, it will create a 'crossing hall', causing evil spirits to flow straight through the house, causing the family to lose money and have bad luck."
Qin Bai nodded: "The situation here is not a mess. The doors and windows of each house are deliberately facing each other."
"So Yanhu County is gathering energy, but it's not just the evil that is destroying the hall, it's also the evil that is the white tiger. It's a serious evil."
Qin Bai found no traces of the magic circle, but it was true that the demonic auras gathered throughout the town even during the day, indicating that the theory of Feng Shui was indeed true.
However, the effect is definitely not as effective as the magic circle. The Feng Shui pattern is probably just one of the methods used by monks to try to be used by ordinary people.
Uncle Jiu said thoughtfully: "This kind of feng shui is to raise corpses, but the corpse of the old man has not turned into a corpse for many years, which means that the corpses are raised in earthen jars."
Qiu Sheng couldn't help but interrupt: "Infant corpse?"
Uncle Jiu pinched the bridge of his nose with a headache: "It's possible, but this thing is too dangerous. Will anyone really raise it?"
"You'll know if you open it and take a look."
Qin Bai controlled the DJI drone to return to the ground, and then he put it into the fish bag.
Uncle Jiu was a little jealous when he saw this. It was a storage bag and a magic weapon. Could it be that the gap between the monks who inherited the Taoism and the casual cultivators was really so big?
Thinking that the magical weapon I still use is still a mahogany sword that is less than a century old, the envy in my heart is beyond words.
Qin Bai didn't know what the other party was thinking, otherwise he would have spoken to tell Uncle Jiu not to misunderstand.
There shouldn't be anyone richer than him in the Taoist sect. From the fact that Yan Chixia has such a level of cultivation and doesn't have a storage bag, it can be seen that even high-level monks have a hard time.
"Then let's go to Magistrate Wang immediately..."
"Hey, don't worry, let's talk after you're full."
Qin Bai stopped Uncle Jiu who was about to leave. He looked out from the gate and saw Qiu Sheng and his wife walking back on the street carrying a lot of food.
Uncle Jiu agreed hesitantly. He really couldn't understand Qin Bai.
The other party's attitude felt like cynicism, as if the monster that could threaten life was just a pastime for after-dinner entertainment.
Because Qiu Sheng and the two received the money settled by Magistrate Wang, they generously bought a lot of food and even two pots of fragrant rice wine.
Of course, Uncle Jiu would not touch wine, and the two apprentices were also under control, so they both took advantage of Qin Bai.
After eating and drinking, they planned to go to the Yamen to check the situation.
When Qin Bai saw Uncle Jiu preparing to take off the wooden sword and go straight to the door, he immediately smiled and said, "Do you know why I'm not in a hurry?"
"Why?"
"There is more than one place where corpses are kept in Yanhu County, so the people are all spies. As long as we leave the Ren Mansion, there will be people watching us no matter how late it is."
Wencai slapped his thigh and said, "No wonder when I went to buy pig head meat, the butcher kept staring at me and thought he was planning to marry his daughter to me."
Qiu Sheng immediately joked: "I'm afraid it will be a waste to marry you. He may be looking at how much meat you have on your head."
The two started to quarrel again, and Uncle Jiu suddenly felt a headache. He stretched out his hand to separate his apprentice and asked, "Then how do you get to the Yamen? Breaking in is a serious crime..."
"No need to."
Qin Bai chuckled, opened his mouth and spit out a translucent flying sword.
The flying sword was suspended in the mid-air in the courtyard, emitting light like stars.
Qiu Sheng and the two were immediately attracted by the flying sword.
They stared intently, just like when Qin Bai saw Yan Chixia wielding a sword for the first time. Flying swords can be said to be aspirational for those who are new to spiritual practice.
Even Uncle Jiu is unavoidable from losing his mind. Unfortunately, as a casual cultivator, the art of flying sword is indeed out of reach.
Qin Bai explained on the surface, but in reality Versailles said: "This flying sword is a star. It emits starlight at night. Although it is easy to be detected by practitioners, it is still no problem to fool ordinary people."
Qiu Sheng looked at the simple flying sword on Uncle Jiu's back and said hesitantly: "Master..."
I have just started writing, so I don’t know much about it, so I am mostly just curious.
Uncle Jiu didn't guess what his apprentice was thinking, so he couldn't help but said: "Ahem, the technique is secret and cannot be taught to others."
Qin Bai smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. If you want to learn, I can teach you."
Paper sword is not a rare technique, it is very different from flying sword, so Yan Chixia readily taught it to Qin Bai at that time.
Moreover, ordinary practitioners do not have Qin Bai's weird Qi, and it is impossible to make a paper sword comparable to a flying sword.
Uncle Jiu was very surprised. The difficulty of casual cultivation was that there was no way forward, and the techniques were all based on trial and error. He suddenly met such a generous fellow, and he suddenly felt unaccustomed.
Qiu Sheng hugged Qin Bai's thigh excitedly. He usually learned some boring Feng Shui, but it was not as interesting as the rumored flying sword.
Qin Bai pulled the opponent away and reminded him: "This is not a flying sword, but a paper sword. It is easy to get started but difficult to master."
"It's okay, thank you very much, Brother Qin."
Uncle Jiu respectfully saluted with clasped fists, and Qin Bai returned the gesture.
Qiu Sheng and the two also had ideas, but Uncle Jiu glared back: "I haven't even started practicing qi, so I just have to think about some techniques and just build the foundation for a hundred days."
"Yes, Master."
Qin Bai couldn't help laughing. Uncle Jiu felt like a Taoist teacher in the movie, but now he was teaching the opponent's magic. It was really interesting.
"Let's go, let's go see what medicine is sold in Magistrate Wang's gourd."
His true energy poured into the star, and the light flickered. Uncle Jiu and the other three felt their bodies floating, and mist enveloped them.
However, Qin Bai was still there. Just when Uncle Jiu was confused and wanted to speak, he saw more than a dozen flying swords coming out of his mouth.
These flying swords are colorful and emit dazzling light.
"Well……"
Uncle Jiu watched Qin Bai lying on the ground and being dragged up by the flying sword, flying with the sword in a very weird way.
What a fat thing, is it possible that all serious swordsmen are like this?
Qiu Sheng and the other two turned to look at Uncle Jiu. Although the latter was expressionless, he really didn't have any confidence in his heart. After all, he had never been exposed to a sword.
Uncle Jiu hesitated for a moment, and then followed Qin Bai's example and lay down. Not to mention that it seemed more reasonable to wield a sword like this.
Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai nodded. Even the master did the same. This should be the correct posture for wielding a sword.
Qin Bai just turned his head, and Uncle Jiu and the other two started to practice Toad Kung Fu, not to mention it was really impressive.
He immediately realized the reason why several people were wielding swords like this, and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
But Qin Bai couldn't explain it in detail, so he had to control the flying sword with the corner of his mouth twitching, and the four of them flew in the direction of the Yamen side by side.
Just after flying out for a few meters, the snoring sound started.
Wencai had already fallen asleep with drool dripping from the corner of his mouth. Seeing this, Qiu Sheng kicked him hard on the buttocks to wake him up.
If they weren't at high altitude, the two of them would have started arguing again.
Uncle Jiu did not reprimand him, mainly because Qin Bai and others could not be seen by the outside world. After all, they were covered by Xingyao, but the colorful light was extremely dazzling in the mist.
There was no other way, facing such light pollution, the third uncle and the others had no choice but to close their eyes.
Plus it's nighttime, so it's easy to fall asleep every once in a while.
Qin Bai was afraid that they would accidentally fall from the sky with their eyes closed, so he quickly took out sunglasses from his fish bag and handed them to the three of them.
Jiu Shu's master and apprentice are indeed not afraid of light pollution after wearing it, but it also has a strange temperament invisibly, and the style of painting is simply unbearable to look at.
Fortunately, Yanhu Town is not large, so Qin Bai and the others arrived at the Yamen very quickly.
It is obviously a small town in the mountains, but the Yamen is larger than that in Hangzhou. It feels more like the residence of a wealthy businessman and official, which shows how well-oiled it is on weekdays.
Because there was no habit of patrolling at night, there were only two or three government officials walking around, so Qin Bai and the others easily slipped in.
At this time, there were only a few bright rooms in the entire Yamen, so Magistrate Wang's position was still easy to find.
"Let's go in quietly."
Qin Bai bent over and trotted over, followed by Uncle Jiu and the others. After finding the target, they took a look through the window.
Inside, Magistrate Wang was sitting at the table, flanked by Chen Captou and a Miao man in his early fifties.
Magistrate Wang's face was pale, and it seemed that the corpse poison had begun to seep into his internal organs. If he was not treated within a short period of time, he would probably turn into a zombie.
This made Uncle Jiu a little strange, how could the corpse poison enter the body so quickly? In his impression, only people with the physiques of 70, 80, or young children could do this.
However, Magistrate Wang was not panicked at all. Instead, he focused his eyes on the earthen pot, with greed in full view.
"Master Wang, don't forget the rules."
There was a sarcastic smile on the Miao man's face. He reached out and took the earthen pot in front of him, and then tapped the table with his fingers.
Magistrate Wang took a few deep breaths, suppressed his emotions and said: "Ahem, cough, cough, seeing that there are more and more big households in Yanhu County, the Taisui nowadays is not enough."
Chen Captou rubbed his hands, looking like he was hesitating to speak.
Qin Bai outside the window was stunned for a moment. What does this have to do with Tai Sui? Isn't the zombie thing raised in the earthen jar?
Seeing this, Uncle Jiu shook his head firmly. It couldn't be the so-called Tai Sui. This Feng Shui pattern must be for raising corpses.
Besides, I came to Miao territory to pursue those zombies.
The Miao man sneered. He did not answer the question, but said in a different direction: "Ignore the corpse poison in your body? Don't waste your skin."
Magistrate Wang spit out black blood, his breath became weaker and weaker, he shook his head and said: "It's almost time, don't leave the skin."
"It's good to have something in mind."
Magistrate Wang vomited a few more mouthfuls of black blood. The corpse poison that ordinary people could last for several days seemed to be extremely poisonous to him, and he was on the verge of death in just over an hour.
He grabbed Capt. Chen's arm with force, opened his eyes and said, "Quick, quick... the time is up."
Wencai couldn't help but asked in a low voice: "Master, what is going on?"
Uncle Jiu was also a little confused about the situation. At this time, Qin Bai suddenly made an unexpected move.
He directly opened the window, turned over and jumped in. Then Qin Bai waved to several others to follow him, his expression looking extremely calm.
Uncle Jiu saw that no one in the room responded, and the window was relatively remote, so he also turned over and jumped inside.
But when Qiu Sheng and the two were together, Wen Cai accidentally sprained his ankle and made some noise, and the scene suddenly became ugly.
Qin Bai quickly pulled the stunned Wencai to a corner. Starlight shone out and enveloped several people, and his fingers also radiated a faint Buddha light.
"What's going on?" Miao Ren frowned. He looked at Chen Captou and said, "Chen Huai, go and take a look."
Chen Captou hurriedly walked towards Qin Bai's position. Uncle Jiu and the other three's faces turned red, and they couldn't help but feel nervous.
But under Qin Bai's influence, Capt. Chen passed them by and didn't notice the few people under his eyes at all.
"It's okay, it's just that the window was blown open by the wind."
After Chen Captou closed the window, he returned to the table. At this time, Magistrate Wang could only take in air but not out.
"Quickly, feed me Tai Sui..."
The Miao people turned a blind eye, and Capt. Chen quickly rummaged around the house, and finally found a brocade box under his pillow.
When he opened it, there was a wriggling mass of white meat inside, which looked extremely strange.
In order to see clearly, Qin Bai couldn't help but walk forward a few meters more.
Uncle Jiu felt a little outrageous when he saw him moving forward. He was almost sitting at the same table with others for dinner. Do you call this sneaking in?
After County Magistrate Wang was fed the so-called Tai Sui, his face became even paler and he broke into a thin cold sweat.
Uncle Jiu looked at the earthen jar and wondered if it was not a corpse but something like this.
Then the sound of retching came.
Magistrate Wang had a strange change. He lost weight at a speed visible to the naked eye, but his belly swelled like a balloon.
And there seemed to be something moving in his stomach, as if all the flesh and blood in his body had been absorbed by it.
Qiu Sheng covered his mouth. He began to feel nauseated because the scene in front of him was too terrifying.
The thing in the belly soon took on a human shape, but it was not an ordinary baby, it looked like a slightly smaller adult.
Immediately afterwards, the crouched body of the person inside began to stretch, and the hands and feet could be seen walking under the skin, as if the original body was just a piece of clothing.
After the person in his belly replaced Magistrate Wang's body, he began to tear off the skin on his body with his hands, and a large amount of flesh and blood fell to the ground, exuding an unpleasant stench.
Soon a man emerged from the corpse of Magistrate Wang. He looked only in his early thirties, but he could vaguely tell that it was him.
Magistrate Wang couldn't help laughing. He breathed the air greedily, not caring at all that the pieces of flesh and blood under his feet were covered in pieces.
"It seems that you have been given a new life. I will send it to you after some time. You should take good care of this medicine field in Iwahu County."
"No problem, more Tai Sui seeds next time."
The Miao people ignored Magistrate Wang. He stood up and seemed ready to leave.
As soon as he turned around with the earthen pot in hand, several more people were surrounding him, especially Qin Bai, who was extremely oppressive due to his size.
Without waiting for Miao Ren to react, Qin Bai grabbed his neck and his expression became playful.
