The handsome man in the entertainment industry

Deng didn't bother to do complicated meals, so he made a large plate of shredded chicken and cucumber cold noodles, added a lot of Xiao Xiao's favorite sesame sauce and a big spoonful of hot sauce, and the two of them made do with it.

After lunch, Xiao Xiao proposed to go out for a while.

"My hair should be cut, it's too hot and troublesome."

He pulled the loosely tied ponytail at the back of his head, and complained to his lover who was still washing the dishes about his long hair that was about to hang down to half his waist.

"Also, there are not many talisman papers, smectites and red strings in the study. Let's go to Jinshui Street to replenish some materials."

So the two went out together in the afternoon.

Xiao Xiao didn't call her son over, but drove by herself.

The two went to a hairdressing salon first, and spent two hours restoring Xiao Xiao's long-haired shawl to the length that just passed her ears. Then they drove halfway across the city to Jinshui Street, which specializes in selling antiques and toys. I went to a familiar shop and bought a lot of common and rare materials for spells and spells.

As long as it is not in the street corner area full of street stalls, even during holidays, there is still not much traffic in the depths of Jinshui Street, only a few tourists who come here to see the style of the antique street, and occasionally meet with cameras. Photographers of old street scenes.

When strolling here, Ruan Mudeng didn't have to worry about being recognized, so he just put on a sun hat and a pair of light-colored sunglasses, and pretended to be a foreign tourist, and walked the streets with Xiao Xiao openly string alley.

The two of them wandered around until dusk before they came out of Jinshui Street.

"Why do you buy so many things in one go?"

Ruan Mudeng, who dutifully acted as a follower and a strong laborer, carried several bags of large and small bags, weighed his hands weighing less than [-] catties, and couldn't help but ask his own master who was beside him.

"Well...be prepared."

Xiao Xiao unlocked the car, opened the trunk door, and asked Ruan Mudeng to put the bag in his hand, together with a piece of uncarved white marble blank, into it.

After the two sat down, the car started and started to drive in the direction of the return trip.

"Actually, I've been thinking about a question."

Xiao Xiao drove the car, and merged into the traffic flow of the second ring road on the left lane.

"what is the problem?"

Ruan Mudeng sat on the co-pilot's seat, looking at Xiao Xiao's side face who was concentrating on driving.

"Tell me, since Xiao Ning will give up the identity of 'Bai Yiming' that he has used for more than 30 years, why would he come back to City A?"

Xiao Xiao mentioned the name "Xiao Ning" in a flat tone, showing no signs of emotional fluctuations at all.

"...Perhaps, he felt, there was no need to live as before?"

Ruan Mudeng has always regarded Bai Yiming as a respectable senior and friend, and even secretly had a hint of envy and jealousy towards his past friendship with Xiao Xiao.

It was only after so many accidents happened that he realized that all his understanding of that person was based on the other person's deliberate performance, and it was just the superficial impression he wanted to leave on others.

After all, he is a person who has lived longer than Xiao Xiao and has more powerful cultivation methods. With Ruan Mudeng's knowledge and knowledge, it is simply impossible to guess Xiao Ning's mind.

"Do you still remember that I should have told you that 'Bai Yiming' has a special constitution and is not suitable for learning Taoism?"

Xiao Xiao shook her head, denying Ruan Mudeng's guess.

"In fact, when the twins of the Bai family were born, the younger brother was no longer breathing and heartbeat when he was carried out by the steady mother-in-law. I heard that it was because he was in the mother's womb."

While driving the car, he talked about the past more than 30 years ago.

"At that time, I happened to be in Bai's house. I was begged repeatedly by the parents of the twins, and saw that the baby's body was still a little warm, so I cut my wrist with a golden snake dagger, drew Yin and Yang Yin with my blood, and tried to give the baby The baby has summoned its soul... Unexpectedly, the person is indeed saved, but the core inside is not the baby who died young, but Xiao Ning who has been hiding in the golden snake dagger..."

Ruan Mudeng also heard about this past event from Bai Fengchu, the elder sister of the Bai family, but it was the first time Xiao Xiao mentioned it in such detail.

He didn't interrupt Xiao Xiao's foreshadowing, and asked him to finish his words carefully.

"Although it is said that Xiao Ning took away the physical body of his twin brother, the body of 'Bai Yiming' is indeed the body of the bardo body that was resurrected after being dead in the womb."

Ruan Mudeng nodded, seeming to have guessed Xiao Xiao's meaning.

"You know, although it is extremely rare, all newborns who are born with a bardo body are born with yin abundance and yang decline, with extremely light horoscopes, and most of them have yin and yang eyes all their lives. I like the type of entanglement. If there is no knowledgeable person to 'suppress their lives' for them, it will almost always end in an early death."

Xiao Xiao said and sighed lightly.

"After all, the Bai family is a fairy hedgehog's family. I don't know how many 'things' were raised in the high walls and deep courtyard of the ancestral house. That's why they sent the 'Bai Yiming' who was a child to me to be educated. Also, apart from some self-protection Apart from the means, I have hardly taught him other techniques, and this is also because his constitution is too weak and too yin, and he is really not suitable for cultivation."

Ruan Mudeng thought about what Xiao Xiao had said about Bai Yiming accompanying him during the New Year, and felt sore in his heart.

"It's just that even if you don't teach it, the soul in that person's skin knows the Dao Dharma Subduing Technique."

"Yeah, he didn't need me to teach him."

Xiao Xiao laughed self-deprecatingly, and stopped the car before the red light.

"However, even though Xiao Ning already knew those things, the skin he changed into is indeed too yin-qi-filled, so it's not suitable for practicing the way of a celestial master whose essence is yang... and if he doesn't use Taoism, he can use it instead. What about the drop technique?"

He looked sideways at Ruan Mudeng on the passenger seat, and asked his apprentice a question.

"The principle of descending technique is to reverse yin and yang, cover up good with evil, and use fierce, evil, yin, and resentment to hurt people or even kill them."

Ruan Mudeng thought for a while and replied:

"Since it is a sorcery that goes against the sky, there must be no reason why the more yin the constitution is, the more suitable it is to practice. On the contrary, people who practice the subjugation technique will often be backlashed by the evil qi, and the more severe the subjugation technique A magician, the shorter the life, the sooner he dies..."

He looked at Xiao Xiao and came to a conclusion, "Since even those strong and healthy descendants can't escape the backlash, Xiao Ning still uses the weak and weak bardo body. The burden should be greater."

"Yes, that's it."

The red light turned green, Xiao Xiao stepped on the accelerator and drove forward.

"Indeed, I think Xiao Ning should also know that if he doesn't want to die early from the backlash of his spells and ruin his hard-earned physical body, then he should continue to pretend to be an ordinary person of the 'White Film King' and minimize the number of Don’t even use the descending technique all the time.”

He hummed a low laugh. "Since he dares to use it freely now, I'm afraid he has found some way to counteract the backlash, or..."

Xiao Xiao paused, and then continued:

"Or, maybe he found a more suitable body than 'Bai Yiming'..."

Hearing his master's reasoning, Ruan Mudeng's heart skipped a beat, thinking of the maggot-like ghost from the ancient tomb who claimed to be the princess of the Yuan Dynasty that once parasitized Shen Rui and Li Xiaoya.

At that time, the maggots that "Li Xiaoya" pulled out from her body were taken away by a man in black who suddenly appeared.

Thinking about it now, in fact, on the night of the Lantern Festival Gala, apart from Li Xiaoya who had the God of Ear Reporting, Xiao Xiao, Zhou Han and himself, the only one who could clearly know the development of the situation was "Bai Yiming" who kept talking with Xiao Xiao up.

——It's a pity that no one suspected such a big flaw at the time, and now it's useless to shoot it after the fact.

"So you suspect that the reason why Xiao Ning returned to City A is because there are things he needs here?"

Ruan Mudeng turned to ask Xiao Xiao.

"Ah."

Xiao Xiao nodded, then pouted in the direction of the co-pilot's glove box, "There's a photo over there, take it out and see for yourself."

Ruan Mudeng reached out and took out a photo from inside.

It was a candid photo taken with a telephoto lens, and the protagonist in the center of the picture was not "Bai Yiming" as he thought, but a man in his 20s with very conspicuously dyed silver-blue long curly hair and wearing a tight-fitting black and white dress. young woman.

He was taken aback for a moment, and then immediately said firmly, "I've seen this woman before!"

"Well, yes, you should have seen it."

Xiao Xiao replied: "According to the entry and exit records, she had been to Hong Kong City before. Later, someone checked the surveillance video of the funeral parlor. She was one of the people who made a fuss about the farewell ceremony for Cheng Yuntian's body."

As he spoke, he quickly turned his head and glanced at his apprentice.

"The old man found out that this girl has been wandering around City A and its surrounding areas recently, and she seems to be looking for someone or something... They suspect that this girl should belong to Xiao Ning and is working for her master .”

"I see."

Ruan Mudeng completely understood.

"So when you say 'be prepared for any danger', you are guarding against Xiao Ning who is also in City A, what methods will he use to harm us?"

"Hmm...Actually, if Xiao Ning really wants to deal with us, he probably won't be able to guard against us based on the gap between him and me."

Xiao Xiao frankly revealed the truth to her apprentice, "I can only do my best and make some preparations..."

At this time, the car had already driven to a place about 10 minutes away from the duplex apartment complex where the two lived, and the sky was completely dark.

"By the way, do you want to cook something casually when you want to go home, or did you just eat out
