In the spacious hall, the floor is covered with a red carpet and surrounded by intricately carved mahogany furniture.

Several pillars are painted with red paint, the corners are carved on the edges, and a few antique palace lanterns are hung from the ceiling, so that the entire hall is filled with a strange red light, and the atmosphere is particularly strange.

On the wall of the central hall, there is a huge yellow paper incantation hanging in the middle, and there are also two yellow paper on the left and right, like couplets, on which are written incantations.

A red thread is circled around the four corners to form a rectangle, and in the middle it is staggered diagonally, forming a cross, pressing the charm against the wall so that it will not be blown up by the wind.

Under the spell, there is a delicately carved offering table, on which the porcelain statue of Sanqing is enshrined, and there are incense burners, incense oil, holy water and various fruit offerings, etc., which are full of place, making people feel full of cities.

At this time, there were three incense sticks in the incense burner, and it looked like it had just been lit for a long time, but the sky above the hall was filled with green smoke, which did not disperse for a long time.

Zhang Xingchen stood in the corner on one side, looking at the Qingluo Daoist who was holding a peachwood sword in front of the offering table, stepping on the seven stars, constantly gesturing, and reciting incantations, and occasionally looked at a single hospital bed in the open space of the hall, on which his younger brother Zhang Xingwang was lying as if he was asleep.

If he was just asleep, he wouldn't be so worried, the key is that Zhang Xingwang at this time was skinny, with surprisingly big bags under his eyes, big eyes, but his focus was scattered, and there was a circle of dark circles around him that were almost pitch black, revealing a look of overindulgence.

When he found out that his brother was blaspheming himself with a wood carving that day, he thought it was just a normal sign of puberty and that it would be good to vent a little.

However, since then, things have been much more serious than he imagined, as time goes by, he finds more and more that his younger brother's body is gradually thinning, and he is becoming more and more decadent, and he usually does not have the habit of bending over and hunching his back, but then he doesn't know what happened, he always collapses his shoulders, he has no energy, and he looks like he has never woken up.

It wasn't until this time that he knew that there was something wrong with the wood carving, and it seemed that he had been extracting Zhang Xingwang's spirit, but at this time he reacted, the time was still a little late, Zhang Xingwang had reached the stage of being sick and blind, and even after he took the wood carving away, Zhang Xingwang's whole person began to run wild, smashing things and self-harm.

As a last resort, he could only knock Zhang Xingwang unconscious, put him on the bed, and send him to his master Qingluo Daoren to see if he could find a way to exorcise evil spirits.

The wood carving was placed on the confession at this time, and the black dog's blood was poured on its body, and its whole body was painted red, which made its lifelike appearance look very weird.

Under the persecution of the Qingluo Daoist, a burst of green smoke floated out from the wood carving, it rose slightly, but it was lifted in mid-air and did not disperse, Zhang Xingchen looked up, and saw that a girl he once liked appeared in the green smoke, scratching his head and posing at him, constantly seducing him.

Even if he had eyes with different eyes, he was obsessed with it under this look, but fortunately, Qingluo Daoren did not get hit, but hurriedly waved the peach wood sword a few times, and immediately shouted: "Huh! ”

This sound was like thunder, and it woke Zhang Xingchen up in an instant, only then did he know that he had almost been hit, if it wasn't for the presence of Qingluo Daoist, I am afraid he would have to follow in the footsteps of his younger brother.

"The sky is blue, the earth is blue! The patriarch of the Three Qing Dynasty is proud! Lucky double door, good luck! With an angry shout, the Qingluo Daoist held a peachwood sword and stabbed straight towards the wood carving, which cracked through it and spewed out a puff of smoke.

At the moment when the wood carving cracked, Zhang Xingwang, who was lying on the hospital bed and was dying, seemed to be aware of it, sat up from the bed suddenly, and exclaimed, "Don't!" ”

But after he had only shouted this, the man fell straight down again, and lay on the bed, motionless, as before.

A green light as thin as a cow's hair shot out from the smoke, and the speed was extremely fast, as if it wanted to escape.

However, it was fast, and the Qingluo Daoist was even faster, and he shot like lightning, and instantly sandwiched this green light between his index and middle fingers with his right hand.

"What is this?" Zhang Xingchen walked over and carefully looked at the green light between the fingers of the Qingluo Daoist, it seemed to be a light, but in fact it was like a substance, the middle was caught by two fingers, and the two ends were constantly fluttering, a bit like aquatic plants in the water.

"I don't know!"

Qingluo Daoren squinted his eyes, and also carefully looked at this ray of green light, like light, but it had a body, like a living thing, and there was no breath of life, it was really strange and tight, even if he thought he was well-informed, it was the first time he had seen such a strange object.

"But it's the culprit for your brother's appearance in the morning!" Although he didn't know what the green light was, that didn't stop him from figuring out what it did.

"It can create a fantasy that everyone likes, enough to be realistic, and then absorb the essence from it, so as to supply it to its master!" There was an expression of interest on the faces of the people of Qingluo Dao, this effect looked very interesting, it was like using people as batteries.

"Can you use it to find its owner?" Zhang Xingchen doesn't care about its role, he only cares about the master behind it, and harms his younger brother like this, if he doesn't find someone, how can he be willing?

"You want revenge?" Qingluo Daoren looked at Zhang Xingchen and asked.

"My brother is my only relative! I must find the murderer! Zhang Xingchen said with a firm face.

Hearing this, Qingluo Daoist pondered for a moment and said, "Actually, as far as I intended, I don't want you to send it to the door by yourself!" A person who can use such a strange Dao technique must be very profound in cultivation...... However, because it concerns your brother, I also know that I can't stop you...... So be it! I want to figure out a way to see if I can find each other! Then I'll go with you! ”

"Thank you, master!" Seeing that Qing Luo Dao people were willing to help him, Zhang Xingchen said movingly.

"You're welcome!" Qingluo Daoist waved his hand and said, "I'm also curious, what kind of Dao technique this person is using!" ”

"And ...... my brother?"

"He's fine! Give him more nutrition! Qingluo Daoren said.

"The apprentice has taken his leave!" When Zhang Xingchen heard this, he proposed to leave.

"Hmmm! Go ahead! Qingluo Daoren nodded, let Zhang Xingchen leave, and he stayed where he was, observing the green light between his fingers, with a thoughtful expression on his face.

Zhang Xingchen left, took his younger brother, and sent him directly to the hospital, preparing to stay in the hospital for a few days first, and let his body recover for a while.

On the other side, just when the wood carving cracked and green light shot out, Ma Fucheng, who was far away at home, suddenly opened his eyes, and a green light appeared in his eyes, obviously aware of the fact that his spell was broken.

However, he was not nervous or urgent, but the corners of his mouth turned up, revealing a smile: "Interesting! Someone was able to break my spells! I underestimated the people of this realm! It is estimated that the other party will follow this clue to find it? I'm not afraid, even if the other party doesn't come over, I'm afraid I won't be able to stay in this body for too long! However, after all, you still have to find a way to support it for a while, and when the time is up, after witnessing it with your own eyes, it's not too late to leave! ”

After talking to himself, the green light in his eyes gradually faded, and he closed his eyes again and fell asleep.

…………

Song Jianqiu is not too involved in the affairs of the Ye family, as long as the life of this family of three is happy, there are no disasters and no difficulties.

All she can do now is to provide a little help to make the Ye family's life in Asan City safer.

As the weather enters December, it gets colder and colder day by day.

Compared with what is said on the Internet, the wind and snow in the north are very dry and cold, and the city of Asan in the south is typical, and the magic system in the south is cold, and it always rains in winter.

The rain kept falling, and the heavy rain and light rain came in turn, as if it would make the ground dry after a little pause.

This time, it is often a week or two.

In this kind of weather, whether it is the clothes to dry or the quilt on the bed, there is a feeling of dampness to the touch, coupled with the cold, no matter how much you wear, you will shiver from the cold!

However, even at this point, the south still does not see snow, and being able to see hoarfrost is already the greatest luxury.

This can only be seen on the ground or the corners of the roof in the early morning when the weather is fine, and if it is a little later, when the sun is basking in the sun, the hoarfrost disappears as if it had never appeared.

Although Song Jianqiu is far more tolerant of the cold than others, she doesn't need to be so maverick, she gets up every day and puts on three clothes and one pants.

The upper body, from the inside to the outside, is a long-sleeved shirt, a sweater, and a thick coat.

The lower body is generally pantyhose.

The pantyhose seem to be very thin, in fact it is very thick, the material is generally cashmere, rabbit down, modal or velvet, etc., warm and breathable, I really don't know if I don't wear it, I was shocked when I wore it, in winter, it was said that those girls who wore pantyhose did not want to have a demeanor or temperature, in fact, the warmth effect of pantyhose was much better than that of autumn pants.

Of course, if it's still too cold, you can wear a pair of trousers or a small skirt, the former is a safer approach, and the latter is just for the sake of looking good.

In the summer, she doesn't like to wear skirts, and Mother Song can show off her dress, and the clothes are not the same, and it is still the case in winter.

Like some windbreakers, sweatshirts, cotton clothes, knitted clothes, etc., it feels like they don't need money, and they are stuffed into her wardrobe, so that every few days, she can see one or two new clothes in the wardrobe, and as soon as she gets home, she will be pulled into the room by Song's mother with great interest, turn on the air conditioner, and then fiddle with it.

It rains every day in the winter in the south, so all kinds of short, medium and high boots, or snow boots, etc., are also full of shoe racks in Song Jianqiu's room, which makes her feel that she is estimated to wear them for a lifetime, and I am afraid that she will not be able to wear them all.

Time passed day by day, and in the blink of an eye, it was the end of the year; As soon as December 31 passes, another year has passed!

This day is not only the Chinese New Year's Eve of the Gregorian calendar, but also Song Jianqiu's birthday! It was also her first birthday after she was adopted by the Song family, which was not only commemorative, but also became a little special.

On this day, even Song Wencheng, who has always been busy, had a rare day off, accompanied Lin Yuqin and Song Jianqiu, went to play everywhere, and after lunch at noon, the Song family invited the aunt's family, and Song Jianqiu invited a group of his friends.

When she said that she wanted to invite her friends, she realized that she had such friends unconsciously, in addition to Li Chuyan and them in the same class, there were also Zhou Qingli, Ember and Ling Zhiqing, Tang Xiaoyun, and even Zhuge Aya, who was far away in another province, and Du Yanxue, who was already cultivating together......

If you count carefully, the number of people has already broken double digits, which can be considered astronomical for someone who had almost no friends before!

Coupled with the aunt's family, in fact, this can already be regarded as a party, of course, Chinese families do not have the habit of partying, generally eating, and then sitting together to chat and chat.

On this birthday, Dad Song did not book a table outside, but planned to hold it at home, anyway, the space at home is large enough, and there is no need to worry about too many people and crowding.

What's more, on Song Jianqiu's first birthday, whether it is Song's father or Song's mother, they all feel that they are at home, and they will feel better.

The decision was so determined, as early as December 31, Song Jianqiu had already sent invitations to Li Chuyan, Zhou Qingli and others, and a group of people naturally readily agreed, indicating that they would definitely come back.

It just so happened that Yu Zhiqiu was also there, and the other party happily agreed to come.

On the 31st, it happened to be Sunday, and at four o'clock in the afternoon, Li Chuyan, Lin Meijuan, Li Huiqin, Wang Zhaoxue, Feng Qian and Han Chenlu came in succession, all dressed up very beautiful and cute, and after seeing Song Jianqiu, they sent their birthday wishes and gifts.

Gifts are not very valuable, but they all represent their hearts.

Not long after, Zhou Qingli, Ling Zhiqing and Yu Zhiqiu, the four of them, also came together, and they all sent birthday wishes and gifts.

After a while, the aunt's family also came, the eldest daughter of the aunt Song Wenhui is the singer Su Qing, but unfortunately she can't come, I heard that the concert is being held, and the youngest daughter Su Xue, only five years old, lively and cute, from the first time she saw Song Jianqiu, she seemed to like this little cousin who suddenly became extra, and came to help celebrate her birthday today, and she also gave her own hugs and gifts for the first time.

However, unexpectedly, not long after the aunt's family came, there was another knock on the door.

Song Jianqiu went to open the door, but saw a monk standing outside the door.

This monk is to make a noise about the Buddha, call the Buddha girl, and then explain his intention, it turned out to be the Lingyan Temple Jingshi Master and the Buddha Azi, I don't know how to know her birthday today, and now I sent a gift.

Master Jingshi gave a half-human-tall Bodhisattva! This bodhisattva is carved from jade, incomparably fine, lifelike, and obviously very valuable.

The gift of the Buddha is a Buddhist scripture, which is said to have been brought from the collection of Landa Temple.

For these two gifts, Song Jianqiu accepted them, and asked the monk who sent them to bring back his thanks.

Yesterday I was only seven or eight years old, and today I will be an adult at once!!
