The villa area where the Xing family is located is called "Aomori Peninsula", and the area under the mountain reservoir is called "Xianhu Park".

The name is very fairy, but the so-called "fairy lake" is just a small reservoir, about four to ten minutes' drive from the city. When the weather is good, many people come here for dinner and camping.

The road leading to Xianhu Park has to pass through an old stone bridge. Because of the reservoir, the river under the stone bridge has almost dried up, exposing the pitted mire.

The formation of the Xing family started from the bridgehead. The car stopped in front of the bridgehead. Lin Haoren was wearing a large sweater and a lapel coat. He pulled up the hat of the sweater to cover his head, revealing only his straight nose and pale lips.

"Master." The disciples of the Xing family in front of the bridge lowered their heads one after another. They all wore black suits and looked like bodyguards. They had clean cropped hair and serious faces.

"How's the situation?" Xing Yu still looks like a parent of Xing in front of outsiders. He raised his jaw slightly, and smiled unsmilingly. His cold look brought out a slight sense of oppression. He straightened his cuffs with one hand and made a gesture to the senior. "Please" gesture.

Posing.Lin Haoren slandered secretly, and walked towards the bridge with his hands in his pockets.

"There is no movement at the moment." A disciple looked at Lin Haoren suspiciously, "Master, this is...?"

"My senior, you're amazing." Xing Yu quickly caught up with Lin Haoren and walked side by side with him, asking, "Where's uncle?"

"Wake up." The disciple said, "Second Lord is fine, but he is not in good spirits and needs to recuperate."

"Yeah." Xing Yu frowned, "Take care, and report any problems with the formation, and don't hide it."

"Yes!"

"How am I so good? I can talk nonsense!" Lin Haoren waited for his disciples to leave before he said in embarrassment, "What formation is this?"

"You learn quickly, and you will be better than me soon. I just said it in advance." Xing Yu didn't take it seriously, and smiled, "This formation is the ancestral formation of the Blood Soul Hall, and its original name is 'Holding Soul Formation' , Later, due to a problem in the inheritance, part of the formation map was lost, and the original effect was greatly reduced. It is said that my grandfather's grandfather changed his name, and the formation method also changed. ’, it doesn’t have much effect of restraining the soul, but it can search the location of the soul and make it impossible to hide.”

Xing Yu pointed to several directions: "Since we want to track its whereabouts, we naturally need to expand the range of formation."

"Search?" Lin Haoren glanced at Xing Yu from under the hood, "I followed you out, and you still have nothing to hide?"

"It's not the soul here that follows me, so I said that it may be obeying something else." Xing Yu explained, "Ghosts have their own way of communication, and you should know that."

Lin Haoren was thoughtful, and asked again: "What happened to your uncle?"

"You'll know after you've seen it." Xing Yu led the way for him, and the two soon arrived at the farmhouse at the foot of the mountain.

There are many large and small farmhouses here, and some of them can still stay. There are huge words "accommodation" pasted on the glass windows, and there are signs next to them, most of which say "Xianhu Farmhouse" and "Xianhu Laoyang Farmhouse" , "Authentic Xianhu Fish Farmhouse" and so on, they look similar, even the brands look similar.

At this time, the farmhouse was quiet, and the farmhouse where the accident happened even hung a sign that it was temporarily closed. The kennel in the yard and the chicken coop in the backyard were all empty.

This is a farmhouse close to the reservoir, and a small pond was dug in the backyard to raise a few fish. In the middle of the pond was a crudely made rockery, and there was no moss growing on it.

Lin Haoren saw the yellow talisman used for repression on the door, on the fence, on the window, and by the pond in the backyard. The cinnabar handwriting was clearly visible, with a sense of righteousness, which was incomparable to the "Shishi Talisman" in his hand.

This farmhouse has only two floors. There are ping-pong tables and some flowers on the roof.

The first and second floors were in a mess, the tables and chairs were overturned, and the room at the end of the second floor was even more horrible, like a murder scene.

The walls were stained with blood, one side of the window was broken, and the window frame was dangling as if it would fall at any moment; the decorations on the wall fell to the ground, the glass was shattered, and the carpet was distorted in an incredible shape. Together, it seemed that someone had twisted them together with their hands.

Lin Haoren turned his head, startled - there was a bloody handprint on the bathroom door.

"This is a very typical supernatural phenomenon." Xing Yu knew that Lin Haoren hadn't systematically understood these things, so he explained patiently as if he was leading an intern, "It is very difficult for ordinary souls to do this, I have explained to you that firstly, ordinary people cannot see them, and secondly, they cannot touch anything, nor can they possess themselves. So most of the time, there is an insurmountable wall between humans and ghosts...you can understand it as Two parallel worlds that do not intersect each other."

"But supernatural phenomena are different." Xing Yu said, "To do this, the soul needs to have a strong power to break through the wall separating Yin and Yang, but even so, the 'phenomenon' itself cannot harm people, it can only scare people."

"Understood." Lin Haoren nodded, looking at Xing Yu amusedly, "Now you look like an 'expert' who breaks feudal superstitions, but who would have guessed that your job is to catch ghosts?"

Xing Yu laughed, and ignored Lin Haoren's stop, took him by the shoulders and led him into the bathroom.

The shower in the bathroom fell on the ground, and there were large bloody handprints on the wall of the shower room, which were very clear.

Half of the mirror on the sink was shattered, and the remaining half became dark, unable to reflect people.

"People say that the eyes are the windows to the soul." Xing Yu pointed to the mirror and said, "The mirror is one of the media that leads to yin and yang."

Lin Haoren patted his hand away, leaned over and looked in the mirror - he remembered the scene in Donghai Primary School where the mirror in the hall of the teaching building seemed to swallow up the light of the mobile phone's flashlight, which was very similar to this.

It was too dark around at that time, and he couldn't see what was going on, but looking at it now, he found something was wrong.

"Did you find it?" Xing Yu said with the corners of his mouth curled up, "It's not that the mirror can't reflect the shadow anymore, but that there is something in the mirror that blocks the image."

Lin Haoren looked at the dark mass in the mirror. At first glance, he felt that the mirror was dark. After a closer look, he found that there seemed to be a layer of black mist inside the mirror, which was floating and erratic, covering all the shadows of people. .

He looked at the lump with wonder, and couldn't help but reach out to touch it. His fingers felt obvious resistance on the mirror—it was a normal glass mirror, nothing special.

As if sensing something, the black mist in the mirror slowly gathered at the tips of his fingers, as if overlapping with his hands through the mirror.

This feeling is too strange.

"Okay, don't get too close." Xing Yu pulled him up, "There have been supernatural phenomena, or places with too much yin, and this kind of thing happens occasionally. The reflection in the mirror is the opposite of us In the world, ordinary people can't see these black mist, but because the mirror can't reflect the portrait, they will feel panic, and then their mind will be shaken, and the three souls will be unstable, and they will be taken advantage of by ghosts."

"Your uncle is..." Lin Haoren frowned and looked at the half-shattered mirror, a little puzzled, "Isn't he a professional? Still scared by such a trick?"

"Of course it's impossible." Xing Yu said, "It's nothing more than a few tricks to take advantage of the loopholes - scare you and make your three souls unstable; make you sad and sad, unconscious; make you hate and hallucinate. In short, as long as your will is not enough If you are firm, it is easy for them to succeed. The light ones are injured, and the severe ones lose their lives."

But Xing Tianlu is from the lineage of a celestial master, and he has learned the method of controlling ghosts since he was a child, so it is naturally impossible to make such a low-level mistake.

Like a well-informed teacher, Xing Yu explained carefully: "This involves the knowledge points of the basic magic weapon. Highlight the key points, take notes."

Lin Haoren: "..."

"Ordinary people can't connect yin and yang. If you want to connect yin and yang, you have to use: ox tears, rhino horns and mirrors. These three things are the most common way to connect yin and yang. When you are in an environment without ox tears and rhino horns, the mirror is One of the most commonly used tools.”

"My uncle was fooled." Xing Yu frowned at this point, "That guy seems to know that I can see ghosts, so he avoided me and went to my uncle alone. This is my uncle's room, and I live next door After we had supper that night and parted ways, there was a strange noise in my uncle's room not long after. I wanted to break in but I couldn't open the door. There was a strong force blocking it. This is almost impossible for ordinary souls. done."

"And then?" Lin Haoren was terrified when he heard it. It was hard to imagine that at the position where he was standing that night, Uncle Xing's life and death were on the line, and he almost died.

Lin Haoren felt a chill run down his back, and followed Xing Yu out of the bathroom.The cold wind seeps through the cracked windows, and the sunlight shines in the room, which makes people feel more at ease.

"As you can see now, a very strong supernatural phenomenon has occurred in the house." Xing Yu stood in front of the window, with his hands on the window sill, and said, "So my uncle went into the bathroom and planned to use the mirror as a medium to catch it. The culprit."

Unexpectedly, the other party was waiting for him in the mirror. As soon as Xing Tianlu used the mirror, the other party used the mirror instead to bring him into the hallucination.If Xing Tianhu, the head of the Xing family, hadn't arrived in time and broke in through the window, Xing Tianlu would have to confess to being here that night.

"So powerful?" Lin Haoren was surprised, "How could it lead you into a hallucination when you were on guard?"

"Mirrors are a medium to connect yin and yang, and are also an important tool to connect souls. Even if ordinary ghosts use mirrors to make trouble, they must first scare you too much, and then take advantage of the chaos. But for powerful ghosts, use mirrors to use illusions to damage your three The soul is very easy."

"But it doesn't make sense." Xing Yu said, "If it's really powerful, there's no need to create supernatural phenomena to force my uncle to use a mirror—since a mirror is needed, it means it's not powerful enough to use illusions at will The two are contradictory. So this can only explain one thing, it has another thing in its hand, it can use the illusion in the mirror, that kind of thing is very powerful, but it can't hurt people directly .This should be the reason why I couldn't break in at first."

Lin Haoren understood: "That is to say, that guy has a magic weapon in his hand. That magic weapon prevented you from opening the door, and he also helped it use the mirror to create an illusion, almost taking away Uncle Xing's soul."

"Don't you think this method is very familiar?" Xing Yu said, "Old A in Melting Soul Cauldron is about to lose his wits as soon as he comes out, and he doesn't have much strength to attack people, so he used the headmaster who raised a demigod to use his hand to fight against people." Gathering yin by myself has enhanced the power of the soul. The same is true for this one, let's call it old B."

Lin Haoren: "..." It sounds weird.

"If old B is very strong, you don't have to worry about me being able to see it. There is no need to go every step of the way to trick my uncle into being fooled." Xing Yu said, "After all, it is still for the purpose of devouring the soul and strengthening its own strength. When we investigated the farmhouse , found that many chickens and ducks have died for no reason recently, the dogs barked in the middle of the night, and..."

Xing Yu said: "You can read the local news a few days ago. Someone in Xianhu Park committed suicide by jumping into the reservoir. The time coincides with the time of the disappearing ancient objects in the gentleman's tomb."

Lin Haoren: "!!"
