seal of magic

Suping Township is in the neighboring province, very far from Taolin Town, and the roads are not easy to walk. In order to be able to get back to work before Monday, Qi Shao and Zhong Qingyu got up at [-]:[-] on Saturday morning to wash up and prepare to leave.

It takes two hours to drive the mountain road from Taolin Town to get on the expressway.The mountain road was bumpy, Zhong Qingyu was okay, but Qi Shao was sitting in the passenger seat, and with the shaking of the car, he felt that his upper and lower eyelids were about to stick together.

Seeing that Qi Shao was very sleepy, Zhong Qingyu said, "If you're sleepy, go to sleep, it's still early."

Qi Shao shook his head.Probably because he didn't know anything about Xuanmen spells, so he was extra scrupulous. Qi Shao found that he was more on guard against Zhong Qingyu than others.When they were living together, he would carefully lock the door before going to bed. Now that they are in the same space, he still cannot sleep peacefully.

"What were you trying to say to me before?" Qi Shao tried to keep himself awake through chatting.

"Ah? When?" Zhong Qingyu didn't react immediately.

"Just before you went to Guizhou, we talked about it when we had dinner. Then you answered the phone..."

"Uh, this matter..." Zhong Qingyu glanced at Qi Shao's sleepy state, obviously it was not a good time to talk about serious matters.He thought for a while and asked, "Qi Shao, do you want to learn how to draw symbols and spells?"

Due to being too sleepy, Qi Shao's brain reacted slowly, and it took two seconds to understand what Zhong Qingyu was talking about.

"Are you willing to teach me? Isn't this stuff a secret of every school and school." He sat up straight and tried to open his eyes wide to look at Zhong Qingyu. He looked dumbfounded and silly.

Qi Shao was already lovable, but his current appearance is simply cute with capital letters.Zhong Qingyu only glanced at it and then quickly looked away, fearing that he would get too excited and drive the car into a ditch.

"There's nothing that can't be passed on. Learning these things requires a lot of talent. People without talent can't learn it, and people with talent don't necessarily want to learn it. Now it's not the same as before. Let's not talk about the dangers of catching demons and exorcising demons." , The treatment is the same. A few years ago, when the association was not allowed to recruit jobs privately, it was almost impossible to recruit people. In recent years, the policy has been relaxed, and it is better to allow everyone to work part-time to show Fengshui and sell talismans."

"Then how much do you sell for a talisman now?"

"Let's look at the quality and usage. For example, if you can really suppress disasters and exorcise evil spirits, people will buy a set of 10,000+, but you have to have a certain reputation and status in this industry, otherwise you will say it will work. People don’t believe it either. Lucky charms are easy to sell, ranging from three to five hundred pieces to three to five thousand pieces. To put it bluntly, this kind of charm is to borrow luck. If you borrow it, you have to pay it back, so it’s too powerful. Strong is not good, it is suitable for beginners to draw."

"How many pieces of this kind of talisman can be drawn in a day?" Qi Shao was quite interested in this matter, and felt that he seemed to be awake.

Zhong Qingyu: "It depends on proficiency and talent, no matter what, after a period of practice, you can draw at least five or six pictures a day."

Five or six cards a day, one is calculated as three hundred, one day is... one thousand five to one thousand eight, one month... Qi Shao's brain is not working well now, it took a long time to figure it out - one month That's [-] to [-]!What kind of work do you have?

Qi Shao immediately expressed his willingness to learn.Not only for making money, but mainly for protecting yourself.In addition, he took a sneak peek at Zhong Qingyu, so that he could learn more about Zhong Qingyu's world.

"If you want to learn, it's okay now anyway. I can just tell you some basics. Magic is just a general term. The so-called magic in our country is divided into Taoist magic, Buddhist magic and other folk witchcraft. Our ancestors of the Zhong family practiced I studied Taoism, and later integrated other schools of witchcraft..."

These things were long and boring, and were recited by Zhong Qingyu like a sutra without ups and downs. After a while, Qi Shao felt that his brain, which had just woken up, began to turn into a paste again.In the front, he could understand what Zhong Qingyu was saying, but in the back, he could only hear the buzzing, and in the back, he couldn't hold on anymore, so he closed his eyes and rested for a while, but fell asleep as soon as he closed his eyes.

Seeing that Qi Shao had finally fallen asleep, Zhong Qingyu smiled happily, turned up the temperature of the air conditioner in the car, and played soothing music in a low voice.

After walking for nearly ten hours on the road, after getting off the expressway, Qi Shao exchanged with Zhong Qingyu, and Qi Shao drove to let Zhong Qingyu rest.After four o'clock in the afternoon, the two finally arrived in Suping Township.

After getting out of the car, Zhong Qingyu asked where the village committee was, took Qi Shao with him, and met the village director.

Zhong Qingyu showed his ID, and Qi Shao noticed that it was still the police.Taking advantage of the time when the village director went to call to verify, Qi Shao quietly asked: "Are you for real, will you reveal your truth in a while?"

Zhong Qingyu said in a low voice: "Of course it is true! Don't worry, it has been reported, we are on a business trip."

After a while, the village director came back, received them very warmly, and asked them what they wanted to know.

Zhong Qingyu asked: "Do you know Zhu Xingping?"

The village director said, "Yes, but he moved out eight years ago, oh no, seven years ago! Seven years ago."

Zhong Qingyu: "Then do you know where he moved?"

The village director thought for a while and said, "I don't know." He asked several other people in the room, and they all said they didn't know.

One of the fat people said that after Zhu Xingping's wife died, he locked himself and his children in the room for more than a month. Everyone was afraid that something would happen to him, but then one day he came out suddenly, as if nothing happened, so he said to stay here It always reminded him of his wife, who wanted to move, but refused to say where.

"The strangest thing is that he didn't take anything with him. He kept all the furniture and appliances at home, so he took his daughter and his wife away." Fatty said.

"His daughter?" Zhong Qingyu and Qi Shao looked at each other, and Qi Shao took out his pocket watch to show the village director: "May I ask if this is his daughter?"

"Yes, yes, yes!" The village director nodded repeatedly, "This is his wife and his daughter."

Qi Shao: "He's the only child?"

"On this one, his old mother and his wife even quarreled several times over this matter." The village director said.

"What are you arguing about?" Zhong Qingyu asked.

Village director: "Hi! Zhu Xingping and his wife used to work in the county. Didn't his wife give birth to a daughter? His wife always wanted him to have a son. His wife refused, saying that they both Going to work, I’m tired enough to take one with me, and I can’t take another one with me. Let his wife help with it. There’s also a problem. Their home’s conditions are not good, and the house they bought in the county is small. His mother has no place to live, so she sends the child back Come from the village, but his wife refuses, so they have been making trouble like this for several years."

Qi Shao: "Then what happened in the end? How did his wife die?"

The village director sighed: "Later, his wife resigned and became pregnant again, so he sent her back to raise a baby. But I heard, I heard that his wife didn't resign voluntarily, but he went to his wife's unit to make trouble. He asked someone to fire his wife. Then his wife got sick and left before the child was born."

In the evening, the village director invited Zhong Qingyu and Qi Shao to his home for dinner. After dinner, Qi Shao stood in the courtyard and said to Zhong Qingyu, "I still have a problem. Even if Zhu Xingping has the ability to change Zhu Yinan's gender, the birth record It is registered in both the account book and the account book, can this be tampered with?"

It happened that the wife of the village director came out to pour water, and heard half of what they said: "What birth record? You want to check the birth record of Zhu Xingping's daughter? Don't bother. Not long after Zhu Xingping and the others moved out, the county hospital caught fire. The file room was completely burned down, and one of my juniors who worked there was fired because of it. Hey, why did you come to investigate Zhu Xingping? Is it related to him?"

Qi Shao fooled around for a long time, and finally sent the village director and his wife away, and asked Zhong Qingyu with some worry: "We came to investigate Zhu Xingping with such a big fanfare, will he know?" He originally thought of pretending to be Zhu Xingping's friend and came to look for him. A few people asked, but Zhong Qingyu went directly to the village committee.

"No. Everyone here knows that he gave birth to a daughter, and that's why he moved here, so he definitely won't leave his contact information to the people here." Zhong Qingyu replied.

Qi Shao felt relieved and continued the conversation: "The hospital files can be burned, but the household registration information is not so easy to change?"

"Dong Wende, do you still remember that he can pretend to be someone else. We don't know much about Zhu Xingping yet, we'll talk about it after we visit his house later."

"Do you have to go at night?" Qi Shao always felt worried.

"Seven years have passed, and the remaining resentment is likely to be gone. The sun is so strong during the day, it is difficult to find anything. Don't worry, nothing will happen to you." Zhong Qingyu said seriously this time, completely missing the last time The look of the hippie smile when we go on an adventure together.

"What's the matter? Is this difficult?" Qi Shao was keenly aware of Zhong Qingyu's strangeness.

"That's not true, I'm just thinking, how come there are always people who want to use these forbidden techniques, and exchange lives for some inexplicable reasons, or even exchange lives for several lives. Just like Zhu Xingping, how could he treat him like this in order to have a son? His wife and daughter."

"Probably because the family has the throne waiting for the son to inherit it. Seven years ago, the child was eight years old, and he could already remember a lot of things. The child could only suppress women's hobbies every day when he knew he was a girl. Going to the men's bathroom with all the boys and being humiliated for being pretty. It's hard to imagine how she survived all these years."

Qi Shao admired Zhu Yinan very much in his heart. Under such circumstances, this girl is still studying hard and wants to leave the twisted family by her own strength. She is really very tenacious.However, Qi Shao was a little surprised by Zhong Qingyu's reaction, he thought that Zhong Qingyu would get used to it after seeing this kind of thing a lot.

Hearing Qi Shao's question, Zhong Qingyu smiled helplessly, and said, "No matter how much you want, you can't get used to it. People have so many desires, and you can restrain yourself when you know you don't have the ability to realize them, but one day you find that you It can be achieved, but when it is at the cost of other people's lives, you may not be able to control yourself."

Qi Shao looked at Zhong Qingyu and asked seriously: "If one day you are faced with such a choice, will you sacrifice other people's lives for your own benefit?"

Zhong Qingyu looked into Qi Shao's eyes when he heard the words, and answered him word by word in a very serious tone: "I don't know. This is the principle of life."
