Record of Yin and Yang

Moonlight shines through the casement and onto the floor of the house.

Gu Jiu was wrapped in a quilt, his head was buried on Shao Yi's shoulder, and the little brother was lying beside the pillow, breathing regularly.

A gust of wind blew, and the temperature in the room dropped.

The little brother who seemed to be asleep raised his head and meowed towards the empty place in front of him.

Gu Jiu and Shao Yi also woke up immediately.

Pei Yu, who suddenly appeared, was already sitting at the table, drinking the tea that Gu Jiu specially prepared for him before going to bed, and seeing them awake, he smiled and said, "You two are still so vigilant."

"Master."

Gu Jiu got out of bed with her clothes on. She hadn't had a good rest recently, and she was able to sleep on the soft bed with great difficulty. Right now, Gu Jiu is moving quickly, but her mind is still blurred

Shao Yi is much more sober than him, no matter how you say it, he is an old fritter who has been in the rivers and lakes for a few years more than him.

Pei Yu was still so young, his handsome face was still pale, he put down his teacup and got straight to the point: "What do you want from me?" It's stuck in time, so it's not good to stay for a long time.

Gu Jiu handed the talisman paper with Zhao's birth date written on it to Pei Yu, "We want to find a ghost, so we need to borrow Master's soul chain."

Pei Yu picked up the horoscope and looked at it, then looked at Shao Yi, "What? You can't recruit?"

Shao Yi nodded, "There is a problem."

Pei Yu opened his palm, and a black chain appeared in his palm. He pasted the talisman paper on the soul lock chain. The characters on the talisman paper seemed to evaporate when heated, and the characters gradually disappeared, leaving only a blank space. Talisman paper.

Pei Yu recited a mantra: "The Envoy of the Five Thunders, the Dusi of the Five Dings, the Great Sage Hanging in the Sky, the Thunderbolt Booming, the Five Sacred Mountains facing the sky, calm the universe, dare to disobey, order to kill your soul, as urgent as a law."

Seeing the chain hanging down to the ground held by Pei Yu, there was a sudden rattling sound, and one end moved like a swimming snake. Following Pei Yu's order, the chain circled around the room, and then passed through the room. The door disappeared into the night.

The soul lock chain can travel thousands of miles in the blink of an eye, but within a few breaths, the soul lock chain will go back and forth, and the chain is empty.

"Can't you come?" Gu Jiu asked puzzled.

Pei Yu frowned, reached out and took the soul chain in his hand, stroked it carefully for a while, and said: "The soul chain is stained with the anger of a living person, this ghost seems to be trapped, and the anger will isolate the soul chain. Open, can't hold it."

The soul-locking chain only locks the soul of a dead person, and the anger of a living person represents a living person, and it is helpless.The soul lock chain is also useless, Pei Yu can only express his helplessness.

After Pei Yu left, Gu Jiu and Shao Yi couldn't fall asleep either, so they simply drew a talisman. By the way, they guessed Zhao Ban's current situation. He should be plotted by a living person. This living person may be a magician who refines ghosts. And so on, it may also be his former enemy.

But the enemy is unlikely, because from Zhang Yutang's description, Zhao Ban is really a very gentle kind of person. He was also very popular during his lifetime, and he handled things well. After that, he continued to plot.

The two each drew dozens of talisman papers, and the sky brightened.But Zhang Yutang came over immediately after dawn, with a tired face, he said that he had dreamed of Zhao Ban last night, the other person looked pained, his mouth kept moving, he wanted to say something but couldn't make a sound.

Gu Jiu asked Zhang Yutang: "Do you still have the clothes Zhao Ban wore when he was alive?"

Zhang Yutang hurriedly said: "Yes, yes. After Ah Ban left, I asked someone to keep some of his clothes unburned, and put them in the small courtyard where he used to live. I will ask someone to get them." .”

Zhang Yutang ordered the servant to bring those clothes, they waited for a long time, when Zhang Yutang got impatient and wanted to send someone to look again, the servant came back empty-handed.

Zhang Yutang said, "Where are the clothes I asked you to take?"

The servant wiped his sweat and said, "Master, Mr. Zhao's small courtyard has no clothes."

"How is it possible?" Zhang Yutang said, "I folded those clothes myself and put them in. I have searched through all the boxes and cages in the closet?"

The servant said: "I've looked for it all, but there really isn't one."

Gu Jiu asked: "Master Zhang, did you go to see those clothes after they were put in?"

Zhang Yutang was ashamed and said: "In the first few years, I did go there often. Later, because of Aying's incident, and my parents passed away, I had less time to take care of the family business..." When I got busy, I naturally forgot .

Zhang Yutang pointed at the servant again, "Go and ask Madam if she asked someone to take those clothes."

The servant ran to the backyard, and came back and said that it was Madam who asked someone to take it away, "Madam said, those clothes are made of very good material, it's a pity that they will be bitten by insects if they are left there. I took it out and distributed it to some servants to wear, Madam said, if the master wants it, let those servants look for it, maybe they can find some back.”

Zhang Yutang turned to look at Gu Jiu.

Gu Jiu shook his head: "It's useless to confuse the breath of the dead with the breath of the living." The most important thing is that Zhao Ban has been dead for too long, for as long as 13 years. There are not many left, and if it is worn by a living person again, I am afraid that the aura belonging to Zhao Ban will be gone long ago.He took Zhao Ban's clothes just to try them out.

Shao Yi said: "Replace it with something else, as long as it is Zhao Ban's."

It was fine if he didn't say anything, but when Zhang Yutang said something, he was silent for a while, but his face gradually became angry.

"No?" Gu Jiu wondered, Zhang Yutang and Zhao Ban are so good, and they grew up together, so they should give each other a lot of gifts, right?

Zhang Yutang said dejectedly: "It's all gone, either it was lost or it was broken. Up to now, none of the things that Ah Ban gave me are left around."

Thinking about it now, Zhang Yutang felt panicked, it seemed that apart from the small courtyard and a memorial tablet of Zhao Ban, there was no other trace of Zhao Ban's existence in the house, and this person was almost disappearing from his life.

Seeing Zhang Yutang's sad expression, Gu Jiu hesitated, and said, "There is another way, I'm afraid you don't agree."

Zhang Yutang raised his head expectantly: "What way?"

Gu Jiudao: "Dig the grave and open the coffin."

In Zhao Ban's situation, if there are things he used before he was alive, he can be recruited to get rid of the predicament he may face at present, but now that the things are gone, he can only use his bones to break.However, unless the ancients encountered a major event that required the grave to be moved, otherwise the corpse would not move easily after it was buried, otherwise it would be considered disrespectful to the deceased.They were not sure last night that Zhang Yutang was willing to let them dig up the grave and open the museum, and move Zhao Ban's bones, so they thought about asking their master to use the public equipment for private use first.

Zhang Yutang's reaction was really great, he shook his head again and again, expressing his disagreement.

Gu Jiudao: "Then you can bear him to continue to suffer?"

When Zhang Yutang heard it, his expression hurt and he hesitated.

Gu Jiu persuaded him for a while, saying that there is no one who would disturb Zhao Ban by opening the coffin. He should be in an environment that made him feel uneasy. If he really wanted to save the bones, he was thinking of other ways I don't know how long it will take to solve it. Maybe this delay will cause Zhao Ban's soul body to cease to exist.

Zhang Yutang didn't hesitate any longer when he heard the terrible result that might happen, and agreed easily.

To dig a grave and open a coffin, it is best to choose the time of day when the yang energy is at its peak, so as to prevent the yin energy from colliding with the living.And this time is usually at noon, which is the so-called three quarters of the noon, like twelve o'clock at noon.

Zhang Yutang agreed to dig the grave and open the coffin, so he asked people to make preparations according to the request put forward by Gu Jiu and the others.The three of them just sat in the hall and waited. From time to time, servants would bring the prepared materials for Gu Jiu and Shao Yi to review.

After being so busy for a while, a servant suddenly came to invite Zhang Yutang, saying that Chen Ying had invited him over and had something to say to him.

Zhang Yutang showed a tired look, and said to the servant: "I have something to do here, so we can talk about it tonight."

After the servant left, he came to invite again soon.

Zhang Yutang was listening to the servant's report at that time, so he was very impatient, with anger welling up on his face, he restrained himself and said: "Teach Madam to take good care of her body, don't worry about everything, go, don't come again."

The servants left tremblingly.

It's just that she didn't expect that Zhang Yutang refused to go, and Chen Ying asked someone to carry her here, regardless of her body.

To be honest, Gu Jiu was a little surprised when he saw a woman who looked like she was almost fifty years old with gray temples and called Zhang Yutang her husband. If Zhang Yutang hadn't said that his parents had passed away, he would have thought that this woman The person is Zhang Yutang's own mother.

Chen Ying's body was very weak, even makeup could not cover her pale face.She leaned back on the chair and looked at Zhang Yutang weakly, "Husband, I heard that you agreed with these two Taoists to move Big Brother Zhao's tomb?"

Although Zhang Yutang had shown some resentment towards Chen Ying just now, seeing her like this now, he couldn't bear it anymore, so he calmed down and said, "Yes, Ah Ban has asked me for help many times, and I can't ignore it."

Chen Ying was very angry immediately. She pointed at Gu Jiu and Shao Yi: "You want Brother Zhao to have no peace after death? You actually agreed with these two liars to open his coffin?"

Zhang Yutang's face changed, "They are not liars, they are very accurate in fortune telling."

The liar Gu Jiu looked delicately, and looked at the expressionless liar Shao Yi.

Chen Ying was very excited: "I don't agree, I respect Brother Zhao, he regarded me as his own sister when he was alive, how can I tolerate you disturbing him after he dies!"

Gu Jiu and Shao Yi didn't speak, although Chen Ying was very angry, but upon closer inspection, she could see a trace of panic hidden in Chen Ying's eyes.During the conversation with Zhang Yutang, they learned that Chen Ying was one year younger than him, but why she looked ten years older than Zhang Yutang now, even if it was because of her multiple miscarriages, but the plane It was a bit too dragged down, and with her panic at this moment, it seemed a little unusual no matter how you looked at it.

It's a pity that Chen Ying's face is too thick, and it's impossible to see her face.

It was Zhang Yutang's family business that he couldn't open the coffin.Zhang Yutang's previous hesitation because he was afraid of disturbing Zhao Ban disappeared quickly after Chen Ying appeared. The more excited Chen Ying was to stop him, the more he expressed that the coffin was definitely opened today.

Chen Ying was so angry that she almost fainted, Zhang Yutang angrily asked his servants to carry Chen Ying down.The materials needed are all common, and they can be prepared quickly. After everything is ready, Gu Jiu and the others will set off immediately.

Zhao Ban's tomb is outside the small town, and he arrived in a short carriage ride.

The graves of Zhao Ban and his family are in the same place, and Zhang Yutang will ask someone to take care of them several times a year, so when Gu Jiu and the others saw the graves, the surroundings were not cluttered.

When they first saw Zhao Ban's tombstone, Gu Jiu and Shao Yi didn't think it was wrong, but when they calculated the direction and decided where to dig, they suddenly saw rows of runes engraved on the back of the tombstone.

The faces of the two of them changed suddenly, "Soul Suppressing Monument?"
