When I returned to Beijing, of course, we were picked up by Crispy Meat and Qinhuai, and with me, my senior brother, which surprised me, and it was rare that he would go out in person. ()

The house was found for Yuan Yi early in the morning, and it was arranged by the state, after all, from a certain point of view, Yuan Yi is a national hero, but he can't be put on the table to talk about heroes, so these treatments are what he deserves.

Yuan Xi is very satisfied with this office accommodation building located in the compound, all the daily necessities are relatively complete, and you can move in with simple luggage.

After settling down Yuan Yi, a few of us ate together, and I introduced Yuan Xi to everyone, especially the senior brother, because Yuan Xi will be our little junior sister from now on.

Crispy Meat and Qin Huai drank a lot of wine, and as soon as they heard the introduction of Yuan Xi, Crispy Meat spoke first: "Sister Yuan Xi, you will be my sister in the future, and your father is a hero." Don't look at my brother like this now, listen, my brother will be very rich in the future. ”

Qin Huai also followed suit, and said: "That has to be in the future, don't listen to him blow." I came to you Brother Qinhuai for something, don't say that everything can be done for you, at least I won't let my sister you, be bullied. ”

In the end, my senior brother said, "Little junior sister, you can go with me to meet Master today, my Master has arranged it, and you can study with us for half a year." However, on weekdays, you can call me Senior Brother, it's just a title. Let's be in this vein, the real big brother is him. ”

My senior brother pointed at me, making my face hot for a while, yes, obviously I am the senior brother, what am I shy. But I was also moved for a while, it turned out that my senior brother had never forgotten this stubble, and the little junior sister said this rule as soon as she entered the door.

A meal was very comfortable and very happy, I went directly to Qinhuai's house to live, it was a small courtyard he rented himself, at this time it was quite convenient for me and crispy meat.

Because I was too tired, I fell asleep as soon as I entered the house, and I slept directly until it was time to eat dinner, when Qin Huai called me, and I woke up.

Since I ate too late for lunch, I wasn't too hungry, so I said to Qin Huai: "I'll go take a shower first, I've been on the train for so long, and I'm tired." ”

Qin Huai nodded, told me to hurry up, and then muttered about the crispy meat, saying that the kid doesn't like to wash once a week.

When the hot water was poured on my body, I breathed a long sigh of relief, as if the tiredness of the day had been swept away, but then my shoulder itched again, I sighed, I don't know why, this shoulder is always itchy as soon as it is touched with hot water.

I used to scratch it, and suddenly found that something was different, this time in addition to itching, there was also a slight stinging, what's wrong, I have a skin disease? This was my first thought, and then I subconsciously looked at it, but I didn't expect this to happen, but it made my scalp explode, and I saw an X-shaped mark on my shoulder.

This X-shaped shape is purple-black, not very regular, like a person painted it casually, but it can't be that there is something wrong with the skin, and it is like this by coincidence.

I suddenly felt a little confused, grabbed the towel hard, I took a few deep breaths to calm down, is this a Gu technique? Am I in the Gu? I've been living in the shadow of Gu magic these days, and I'm inevitably thinking about it.

But this thing doesn't look like a Zhong Gu at all, but like someone casually drew a mark on me, like a pig waiting to be slaughtered and stamped on it.

I don't know why I had such a nonsensical idea, but the idea just lingered.

I took a haphazard shower, walked out of this separate bathroom, and looked at the narrow sky that was divided in the courtyard, I always had a feeling, as if there was an invisible net covering me, I couldn't break free, and I felt a lot of pressure.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Crispy Meat and Qin Huai sat in front of me, staring blankly at the fork on my shoulder, with a shocked look, as long as you are not a fool, you can see that this is definitely a man-made trace, like I deliberately went to get a tattoo.

I still put on my clothes calmly and asked Crispy Meat and Qin Huai: "Do you have any opinions?" "Actually, I have a hundred bad feelings in my heart at the moment, but I can't say it, if the three of us are a small group, I am their backbone, and I have to help Crispy Meat solve the Gu on my body, so I can't panic.

"I don't know what's going on, I think you should go to your uncle once." So said the crispy meat.

Qin Huai pondered for a while and said: "I have a hunch, this is a conspiracy, maybe because you offended that Miao people, they are eyeing you, don't underestimate these Miao people, their nation is a strong and brave nation." You can be very warm to your friends, but you can be very cruel to your enemies. ”

What Qin Huai said is very reasonable, and the suggestion of crispy meat is also good, things that are not within our understanding, we can only ask the experienced old man.

In addition, Qin Huai also told me a not very good news, before, I asked Qin Huai to inquire about Sun Kui's village, this was successfully inquired, and at that time, Qin Huai thought that Grandma Ling Qing was a master of Gu arts, if we could find her whereabouts directly, for us, it should be extremely convenient.

However, in the department, Ling Qing*** everything turned out to be top-secret information, after Qin Huai spent a lot of effort, an insider told Qin Huai that it turned out that Ling Qing's grandmother could only contact her with my master on a single line, and she would wait in Kunming in advance when she had a task to facilitate contact. But when she was not in Kunming, no one could find her.

This news is indeed not good news, and it simply discourages our hopes.

If it is my master's one-line contact, then what should my Uncle Li know? Thinking like this, I could hardly wait, and went to find my uncle overnight.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Facing the mark on my shoulder, Uncle Li's expression was very strange, heavy, careful, and helpless.

He let out a long sigh and said to me, "Seiichi, you're really a troublemaker." It is worthy of the life of a child, and everything is entangled wherever he goes. ”

"Uncle Shi, do you know what this is?" I saw a glimmer of hope, and I could see that my uncle knew.

"When we were young, we had a story in Miaojiang, so we knew more or less. You are not a Zhong Gu, but it is similar to a Zhong Gu, because this mark does not have any side effects left on the body, it just plays the role of a marker. But this is also a kind of Gu, with this mark, as soon as you meet the person in the village, you are as obvious as a light bulb in the dark, you can't hide. Uncle Li explained to me like this.

Damn, I couldn't help but curse in my heart, this Miao person is so hateful, just draw a cross on Lao Tzu, there is no sense of art at all, what is a fork?

Of course, this is a manifestation that I only have after I am relaxed, after all, it proves that this is just a mark, and there are no side effects, will my dignified Taoist mountain lineage still be afraid of these Gu seedlings?

He will be tricked, I will have more things, and when the time comes, it will be up to who can't bear it first.

Seeing that I was relaxed, Uncle Li said, "What? Think there's nothing? I'm just giving you a reminder that if this mark is not erased within a certain period of time, it is estimated that it will have to be left on you for the rest of your life. Moreover, the imprint of this kind of village is generally unique to one village, and the Gu seedlings of other villages may not be eliminated. Maybe you don't think it's okay to stay on you, but I can explain to you the obvious reason for them, that generally this kind of imprint has a special smell that humans can't smell, and then it attracts a certain kind of bug, if you walk in the wild and meet that kind of bug."

Uncle Li explained to me very difficult, I suddenly had goosebumps down my spine, and 'Huo' stood up and said: "Uncle, don't say anything, tell me about Ling Qing***'s whereabouts, I will go to Miaojiang tomorrow." ”
