The handsome man in the entertainment industry

The length is only about ten centimeters, the tip is facing the direction of their bed, and on the right side are ring-shaped marks that are as long as the knuckles, like a string of beads, scattered and arranged next to the tips of the bamboo shoots.

The other string partly overlaps with the previous string, and its shape is also similar, but the bamboo shoot marks are on the right, and the tip is facing the window, while the ring marks are on the left.

"Is this... footprints?"

Ruan Mudeng thought for a moment, pointed to the two lines of marks on the bed with the tips of the bamboo shoots and said.

"But if it's footprints, then this person walked in and out twice, his stride is obviously much smaller than that of ordinary people, and the size of his right foot is no more than half a palm long, probably only a three-inch golden lotus can do it; as for the person next to him The string marks, which look like they were left by something like a bamboo pole, I guess she is probably missing a left foot, either with a prosthetic or with a cane..."

The young man turned his head to look at his master, "So, that ghost fairy just now is a disabled old woman with bound feet?"

"Very likely."

Xiao Xiao nodded with a smile, "The powder I sprayed on its face just now is a mixture of gypsum, red nitrate, sun flint... and a special kind of insect eggs. Both red salt and sun flint are the most yang things. , although it can't control the ghost that has cultivated into a phantom body, it is enough to deter it."

"As for the eggs..."

He prolonged his voice on purpose, and pretended to be closed, "You will know in a few hours."

After finishing speaking, Xiao Xiao didn't wait for her apprentice to continue to ask, she forcefully pushed her back into the bed, turned off the light,

"Okay, it's already three o'clock in the morning, let's go to sleep now, the main show will be tomorrow, we need to recharge our batteries!"

Chapter 26, 03, Picking up Gold [-]

The two woke up early the next morning.

At this time, the genius was bright, the two of them washed up briefly, and after eating a bowl of snail powder, Xiao Xiao led her apprentice around the construction site.

"What are you doing?" Ruan Mudeng looked up at Xiao Xiao turning over the high boxwood platform that was originally used to place the Taishan Stone, holding a compass in his hand, turned to the east of the sunrise, and carefully measured the distance.

The workers on the construction site are also up now, poking their heads out of their dormitories in twos and threes, staring at them as if they were watching a monkey show, their eyes full of novelty and confusion.

"Don't worry, let's find out where the problem is first."

Xiaoxiao jumped down from the high platform, looked up at the position of the sun, "It's seven o'clock, it's almost time to start."

"Let's go?" Ruan Mudeng followed Xiao Xiao to the back door of the construction site, out of the area enclosed by the iron fence, and walked towards a hill behind, "Where are we going?"

"Of course to find the 'guest' from last night."

Xiao Xiao stopped under a poinciana, and took out a chrysalis from his pocket.

The chrysalis is quite big, about as long as a thumb, and the whole body is bronze in color, with a layer of metallic luster.Ruan Mudeng saw Xiao Xiao bit her index finger and wiped a drop of blood on the chrysalis.

After touching the blood, the chrysalis in Xiao Xiaotuo's palm split open automatically from the center, and a green-gold insect came out from the opening.

The insect looked like a cicada, with a chubby body, a small head and big eyes, two short tentacles at the top, and a pair of long and big wings on its back. Although they were still wet and wrinkled, they couldn't see clearly. Pattern, but the color is very bright, it looks like a butterfly's wings.

I saw the green-gold worm slowly crawling along Xiao Xiao's palm until it reached the tip of his finger, slowly stretching out its pair of big wet wings, standing upright in the air and flapping lightly, as if Dry your body.

"This is the legendary green clam."

Xiao Xiao put the bug on her fingertips on her shoulder, turned her head and smiled at Ruan Mudeng, "You should know this legend, right?"

"what!"

Ruan Mudeng let out a low cry, "So this is the green clam..."

It is recorded in "Sou Shen Ji" that there is an insect in the south called the green clam, which looks like a cicada or a butterfly. It is edible and tastes good.

The biggest feature of the green clam is that they will lay their eggs on the leaves of grass. If their eggs are taken away, no matter how far the distance is, the female green clam will definitely fly over with the eggs immediately.Even if the eggs are carefully hidden, the mother green clam will definitely be able to find them.

In addition, there is a legend in the book that "the green clam pays back the money".

The general idea is to apply the blood of the mother green clam on a coin, and then smear the blood of its child on another coin. No matter whether you spend the mother's money or the child's money, the money will fly back by itself. , so there is an allusion of "green clam flying back and forth", and the word "green clam" has since become another name for copper coins.

Ruan Mudeng once read a note in "Huainanzi", which specifically taught people how to make blood from green cockles and how to perform the "money return technique".

It's just that the young man never thought that this famous and legendary thing actually still exists in the world, and at this moment, Xiao Xiao casually took it out of his broken pocket.

"In yesterday's powder, I mixed some green clam eggs, and naturally some of them took possession of the ghost fairy. Now release the female worm and let it follow the eggs, and you will be able to find its hiding place. "

During the conversation, the two wings of the female blue gnat were also completely dried out. Sure enough, the four colors of gold, red, yellow and green are very bright.It flapped a pair of big wings, hovered tremblingly and flew into the air, and flew towards the mountains and forests.

"Go, let's follow."

The two did not walk for long.

Five minutes later, the green clam that resembled a cicada and a butterfly stopped on a broken stele and never flew again.

The broken stele is in a small mountain depression. Behind it is a mountain wall several meters high. There are a few willow trees with crooked necks growing beside it. Most of the stone tablet was covered, and if it wasn't for the green clam worm that led them here, it would be impossible for others to notice that there is such a broken tablet here.

"This is a tomb."

Xiao Xiao stretched out her hand and wiped off the dust on the broken stele, revealing the words engraved on it.

Province G has always been rainy. After years of wind, frost, rain and dew, the mound of this tomb has almost leveled out, and the handwriting on the broken stele has long been blurred. Only the owner's name, "Madam De Deng", can barely be read.

"Look," Ruan Mudeng stretched out his finger, rubbed the root of the broken stele, twisted it carefully, and then showed a little bit of white powder on his fingertips to the people around him, "It seems that there is some flour on here."

"It looks right, it's here."

Xiao Xiao nodded, then instructed her disciples to spread a yellow scarf on the spot, set up an incense table, light high incense, and bowed three times to the broken monument, muttering something in her mouth, and after finishing a set of formulas, she inserted three pillars of fragrance on the spot, "Today I respectfully invite Mrs. De, the old Mrs. Deng, to show up."

"Yesterday I didn't know that the real person was sitting in the town, so I offended the old man."

A gust of mountain wind blew by, and three wisps of green smoke swayed and swayed, circling a half arc above the tombstone. The two of them followed the prestige and saw an old lady standing under a willow tree beside the grave.

The old man was about sixty or seventy years old, with gray hair and wrinkled face, two eyebrows were trimmed very thinly, the eyebrows were raised high, and the corners of the mouth were pulled down.She was wearing a Qing Dynasty white fish-scale skirt inlaid with rolling color embroidery, and a set of dotted green hairpins on her head. Under the skirt, half of a black-bottomed embroidered toe was exposed. It should have been the position of the other foot, but only the tip of the shoe was exposed. A bare black stick.

"Mrs. Deng is polite."

Xiao Xiao bowed her hands to her, and performed a peer salute, her attitude was very calm and calm.

"Madam, you must have guessed the reason why we bothered."

"Hmph, I just never expected that that Zhuzi could invite such an expert as you!"

Mrs. Deng snorted coldly, "They are breaking ground on my site, they will definitely destroy my Feng Shui and prevent me from practicing. How can I let them do such nonsense?"

The cultivation of ghosts and animals is similar, they both need to rely on the power of mountains and rivers, the aura of heaven and earth, and it is particularly difficult to practice.

Moreover, before ghosts and immortals cultivate into real bodies, their souls still need to be attached to the bones of the corpses, and they must not stay away. At this time, if the feng shui where the corpses are located is broken, and if there is no other chance, then it is almost like ending the road of cultivation. , had no choice but to gradually wear away his Taoism, and finally turned into an ignorant ghost again.

A hundred meters to the north of the valley where Mrs. Deng's tomb is located, is the hot spring villa under construction.

The terrain of the villa is high. In autumn and winter, the wind and rain come from the north. Taking advantage of the slope of the mountain, it looks like a bowl of slurry pouring down and gathers at the place where the tomb is. favorable.

But once the villa was built, it not only diverted the hot spring water, but also blocked the "Qi" from the north, not to mention affecting the Feng Shui here, and after the construction started, most of the people coming and going on the construction site were young and middle-aged men. , a large amount of yang qi gathers, for ghosts who rely on yin qi to practice, it's like putting a charcoal stove next to the ice cubes, which makes people feel heartburning - no wonder Mrs. Deng couldn't bear it, and went to make a fuss every night , I have to drive everyone away.

"Look at this mountain forest, which stretches for more than ten kilometers."

Xiao Xiao thought for a while, then smiled at Madam Deng who was full of anger, "If Madam can trust my ability, I would like to have the courage to find another geomantic treasure for you, which will not be inferior to this one."

"Bah, confused!"

When Mrs. Deng heard this, she was so angry that her eyebrows stood erect and her almond eyes widened. She spat hard on the ground, pointed at Xiao Xiao and cursed: "Obviously those bastards came to disturb my peace. It's your fault first. This person is very nice, he can't tell right from wrong, and he actually asks me to make room for them? How can there be such a reason in the world!"

"I
