Record of Yin and Yang

Seeing the little paper people lining up to push themselves out along the crack of the door, Gu Jiu sat beside Shao Yi and yawned, "After the Ronghua troupe was driven away by the Luo family, the Luo family didn't invite the troupe back. I don't know if the sound of the play will be played at midnight tonight."

Shao Yi turned his head, just in time to see the tears dripping from the corners of Gu Jiu's eyes due to yawning, his long eyelashes were also wet, and there was even a very small teardrop hanging on it, shining brightly under the light.

Sensing the sight of her side, Gu Jiu turned her head for no apparent reason, just in time to see Shao Yi's gaze withdrawn in a panic.Gu Jiu frowned, followed and stared at Shao Yi, "Brother?"

Shao Yi lowered his eyes to dodge Gu Jiu's gaze, raised his hand to push Gu Jiu's head away as if to cover up, and said in a firm tone, "Go to sleep if you're sleepy."

Gu Jiu was pressed on the table with his head pressed down, and when he raised his head muttering, Shao Yi had already stepped aside to look through his talisman bag, and his complexion returned to normal, Gu Jiu naturally missed his reddened ears just now.

Shao Yi still needs to draw amulets for a while. Without Shao Yi's warm quilt on the bed, it would be difficult for Gu Jiu to sleep. He took a few red strings out of his bag, sat down next to Shao Yi again, and began to weave Peaceful Knot.These knots are usually put on the hexagram stalls for sale, and they are not expensive, but at least they can increase income.

Sitting and sitting, Gu Jiu leaned against Shao Yi habitually as if he had no bones, tilted his head and put it behind Shao Yi's shoulder, humming a little tune while weaving the red rope, quite leisurely.

After weaving more than a dozen safety ropes and knotting them out, Gu Jiu yawned again, unable to bear it any longer, he said to Shao Yi, "Brother, let's sleep."

"Okay." Shao Yi said, clearing away the talisman pens on the table.

Gu Jiu glanced at it casually, and saw that Shao Yi had a few failed talismans in his hand.At Shao Yi's current level, drawing talismans is basically done overnight, usually when there are no waste talismans, unless it is the kind that is powerful and difficult to draw.He didn't see what kind of talisman Shao Yi was drawing before, but now he asked curiously: "Brother, what kind of talisman did you draw just now?" Several pieces were actually scrapped.

"Five Thunder Talismans." Shao Yi said lightly.

The five thunder talismans need to be formed by the power of the five thunder gods. The more gods are invited, the more difficult it will be. No wonder so many talisman papers are wasted.

Gu Jiu suddenly nodded.

Gu Jiu quickly stopped thinking about it, put down the safety knot and walked to the bed.Shao Yi, who was behind him, immediately revealed a trace of depression and embarrassment between his eyebrows. Taking advantage of Gu Jiu's inattention, he quickly destroyed a few waste talismans, and then put the drawn talismans into his talisman bag.

If Gu Jiu saw it, he would be able to recognize that it was not a five thunder talisman at all, but the simplest peace talisman in his eyes.

That night, Gu Jiu was sitting next to Shao Yi, which made Shao Yi lose his mind and couldn't concentrate all the time, resulting in frequent failures in drawing talismans. This kind of waste of talisman papers was a common practice of Shao Yi recently, but he concealed it well, so Gu Jiu didn't notice it.

After sitting on the stool for a long time, as soon as Shao Yi lay down on the bed, Gu Jiu leaned over, giggled cheekily, put his cold feet on Shao Yi's instep, and sighed comfortably. Voice.

Shao Yi's body was stiff, and the touch on the instep was icy cold, but he felt that the place where the two touched was burning hot quickly. This temperature was not like the hotness of Jin Geng's Qi in his body that made him irritable. He was nervous, and it made him feel some secret joy that he still couldn't figure out.

Gu Jiu didn't know anything, he had already fallen asleep with his eyes closed.Only Yu Shao Yi was lying upright, looking at the expression on the top of the bed with bewilderment.

Shao Yi kept his eyes open like this until midnight, just when drowsiness struck him, a graceful but weeping singing voice suddenly sounded in his ears, waking him up instantly.

Gu Jiu who seemed to be sleeping soundly was also woken up together.

The two got out of bed and got dressed, cleaned themselves up within half a minute, then opened the door and ran out, looking for it following the singing.

The two of them were obviously not the only ones who were disturbed by the singing, and the servants who were watching the night outside were already huddled together in fright.One person saw Gu Jiu and the other two appearing, rushed over as if seeing a savior, pointed to the deep courtyard in front, and shouted: "Master Dao, there are, there are ghosts, I saw a white shadow floating past."

Gu Jiu patted him on the shoulder reassuringly, telling him to stay with the other servants, and don't wander around if you are afraid.

During the day, Gu Jiu stepped on several places where the singing often appeared, and the direction of the singing happened to be one of them, which was also close to their place. Gu Jiu took Shao Yi to run there, but halfway there, The singing suddenly sounded from another place, the originally clear voice became distant and indistinct, almost covered by the panicked sounds of servants running around here.

Gu Jiu and the others turned around and met a few little paper dolls strolling by the wall on the road. The little paper dolls babbled and called them, so Gu Jiu picked them up and asked about the situation while walking.

"Yeah!"

The strange thing is that the ghost singing opera appeared, but the little paper people all said that they didn't see the ghost, and they couldn't feel the unique yin energy of Yinwu.

On the way, Gu Jiu and the others passed the red rope trap set up by Daoist Fengling during the day. Those red ropes were in good shape and had no trace of being touched. Then they met the third master and apprentice of Daoist Fengling who also ran out, and nodded to each other. They walked in the direction of the singing in unison.

Luo Zhai is quite big, Gu Jiu and the others are not familiar with the terrain, so it is inevitable to find them in the wrong way, but the ghost seems to be playing tricks on them, changing places from time to time to continue singing, and after a while, Gu Jiu and the others are dizzy.

Finally, when they finally followed the singing voice that hadn't changed, the voice suddenly disappeared and never sounded again.

"This ghost is very arrogant." Seeing that he was playing tricks on them on purpose.Panting, Gu Jiulue hangs himself on Shao Yi's body, turns his head to look at Daoist Feng Ling beside him, the little old man is not much better.

The few people rested on the spot, Gu Jiu took a look at the surrounding environment, and saw that they were outside a courtyard, next to a courtyard gate, and the servants guarding the gate outside had disappeared, and the door suddenly "squeaked" , a little slit was opened from the inside, and a timid head came out of it.

Gu Jiu lowered his head, the man raised his head, and the eyes of the two happened to meet.

Gu Jiu raised his eyebrows, "Master Luo."

With a pale face, Luo Mingda came out from the crack of the door. He was still wrapped in a quilt, and squeezed to Gu Jiu's side familiarly, and asked tremblingly, "Just, I heard it just now. Is there really a ghost?"

Gu Jiu smiled and said, "Didn't the Elder say that you wake up until dawn?"

Luo Mingda was very annoyed, "Isn't it because I slept too much during the day and couldn't sleep at night? If I knew it earlier, I wouldn't have listened to the little matchmaker and stayed overnight."

Little matchmaker?Gu Jiu twitched the corners of his mouth, he should be the one Luo Mingda was looking for.

But Luo Mingda immediately asked Gu Jiu in a low voice: "Xiao Daoist, you said that this person will really become a ghost after he dies?"

Gu Jiu asked strangely, "What? You heard ghosts singing operas just now and still don't believe in ghosts?"

Luo Mingda sneered, "It's the first time I've encountered such a thing, I'm afraid, I can't believe it, I thought someone was messing with me. But speaking of the ghost show, how come I'm so familiar with it? "

Gu Jiu looked at Luo Mingda with a strange expression, "You don't know?"

Luo Mingda looked blank: "Know what?"

Gu Jiu said: "They are all saying that your ghost is a cross-dressing Tsing Yi named Xiao Yu'er."

Luo Mingda hissed, maybe years of drinking and sex had anesthetized his memory, and Luo Mingda seemed to be struggling to remember, and then he finally remembered and shook his head: "Xiao Yuer, is it just him? Impossible, impossible .”

Everyone looked at Luo Mingda, Gu Jiudao: "How is it impossible?"

Luo Mingda said: "Xiao Yu'er looks so weak, she will be limp until she dies. Could it be that after she dies, she becomes a ghost and dares to take revenge on others?"

Luo Mingda has lived with Xiao Yu'er for nearly a year, and it is right to know Xiao Yu'er, but it is a bit strange that he is so determined.And Xiao Yu'er came back to take revenge, if it was really as rumored, Luo Mingda forced Xiao Yu'er to marry, how come Luo Mingda didn't feel any fear when he heard that Xiao Yu'er turned into a ghost to take revenge?

Gu Jiu asked what was on his mind, "Aren't you afraid that he will take revenge on you?"

Luo Mingda was taken aback, "Why should I be afraid of him?" He shook the quilt tightly wrapped around his body, pouted, "It's not me who hurt him, if it wasn't for him, it would be my second brother's turn for the current head of the Luo family? "

This seems to involve the secrets of the Luo family, so it is inconvenient for Gu Jiu to ask further questions.It was midnight at this moment, everyone was quarreled by ghost singing, they didn't catch the ghost, and they had enough rest, so they were going to go back to the room first, and we'll talk about it tomorrow morning if there's anything to do.

But a servant came over suddenly and said that Luo Mingcong invited them over, including Gu Jiu and Shao Yi who were not in charge of this matter.

Luo Mingda yawned and didn't want to follow along to join in the fun, so he turned around and left wrapped in his quilt.

Gu Jiu couldn't help but look back, and saw Luo Mingda grabbing the quilt and jumping at the door, scolding the guard servant who had disappeared just now, and he went into the yard after scolding enough.

Gu Jiu and the others came to the main hall of the Luo family to entertain guests. Luo Mingcong and his wife, and Luo Mingya and his wife were there. They were not dressed as formally as they were during the day, and they came out in casual clothes after being woken up.

And in front of them, a maid with her hands and feet bound and her mouth gagged knelt in the center.

Walking over, Gu Jiu saw the tear stains on the girl's face, and looked at the people in the main seat pleadingly.

Gu Jiu observed their expressions, and saw that Luo Mingcong was tired and anxious between his brows, taking a deep breath from time to time, and seemed to be restraining his emotions.Mrs. Luo couldn't see clearly, she was closing her eyes and letting the maid massage her temples.Luo Mingya grabbed the handkerchief in her hand and looked at the servant girl with fear and resentment on her face. Cao Ziping beside her put her hands on her knees, lowered her head slightly, and looked at the ground, but she couldn't see the specific expression clearly. All he could see was his tightly knit brows.

Gu Jiu and the others sat down respectively, and Luo Mingcong pointed to the maid, and said to Priest Feng Ling, "Teacher Feng Ling, please help me to see this maid, is there something wrong with her?"

Daoist Fengling waved his whisk, walked around the maidservant, and slowly shook his head: "What's wrong with her?"

Luo Mingcong squeezed his forehead, looked at Cao Ziping, and said: "My brother-in-law said that this maid behaved strangely just now, and changed her appearance drastically in every gesture, and she looks exactly like Xiao Yu'er."

That is to say, they suspected that the little maid was possessed by a ghost, that is, the dead Xiao Yu'er.
