Copper Coins

"Master, what's the matter?" Jiang Shining is a wild ghost after all. Compared with Lu Nianqi, he has an inherent advantage, so apart from a little pain and a little dizziness, he didn't suffer any actual injuries, so he was the first to recover.When he sat up from the ground in a mess, he saw Xuan Min was holding a little torch, silently staring at a certain place on the ground, motionless, as if he was stunned.

In the limited time we get along, Xuan Min always looks calm and calm, as if nothing can frighten him or anger him.Dazed and speechless, it was the first time Jiang Shining saw him.

What kind of a terrible situation could make Xuan Min so speechless? !

Jiang Shining's heart skipped a beat, and some uneasiness welled up more or less.

Seeing that Xuan Min didn't respond, he immediately became even more anxious. He hurriedly stood up and wanted to go over to have a look, but he tripped as soon as he took a step.

"Ah - watch carefully!" Lu Nianqi cried out in pain, and suddenly withdrew her feet.

"Forgive me, forgive me, I didn't pay attention to my feet." Jiang Shining apologized repeatedly, but when he saw the brat covering his head and curling his hands, looking sloppy and paralyzed, he wondered: "You were stepped on your feet, cover your head do what?"

"..." Lu Nianqi held back for a while, then said in a low voice, "I don't know why I didn't hold on when I landed, my face hit the ground, and my forehead was scratched."

Jiang Shining was very convinced by this.He was interrupted, and the doctor's nature came up again: "Can you stand up? Where else did you fall?"

"I bumped into the hand that was cut earlier, and it's probably bleeding again." Lu Nianqi shook his hand, and finally stood up with Jiang Shining's strength, "Other than that, there is no injury, monk...cough, What did he find? Why didn't he speak?"

He lost his parents and elders at a young age, so he was always a little impolite.If Xuan Min hadn't shown some ability before, he wouldn't even change his words, and would probably call him "Monk".

The two wounded, who had not fallen lightly or heavily, limped towards Xuan Min's side, because Xuan Min was used to being cold, they did not dare to get too close, just half a step apart, like a meerkat. Stretch your neck and look to the ground.

The talisman paper in Xuan Min's hand probably also had a mysterious purpose. After burning it for a long time, it was not finished, and there was still a pinch of fire on his fingertips. It was not bright, but it was enough for people to see the face on the ground clearly.

Jiang Shining: "..."

Lu Nianqi: "..."

To be honest, under the trembling and dim light of the fire, in such a situation where a blind man rides a blind horse and does not know the way forward, it is possible to suddenly see his companion's head falling in front of his eyes, and it is possible to be frightened and frightened.What's more, Xue Xian's face was facing upwards, and his seven orifices were bleeding to death, which was very suitable for the occasion. The horror and horror of the scene was simply improved.

however……

The first thought that came to Jiang Shining's mind was speechless.

Immediately after getting out, the thought was: What is this trouble...

In the end, there was a "buzz" in his head, and he murmured with cold hands and feet: "It's over, how can you live if your head falls off."

He could finally understand why Xuan Min didn't respond just now, after all, this kind of scene was simply unheard of and unseen.

The ancestor was still nagging nonsense just a moment ago, who would have thought that he could really hang up his own head?

"Body, where's the body?" Jiang Shining stammered and asked.

The horror on Lu Nianqi's face hadn't faded, and he turned to Xuan Min with staring eyes.

Xuan Min didn't make a sound, and didn't show any more expressions on his face, he just reached out his hand and took out the half piece of cardboard body from the hidden pocket.The previously lively paper skin lay in his palm, motionless, as if it had become a real piece of thin paper, ordinary and silent.

Jiang Shining opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.It was Lu Nianqi who spoke first: "Is he, is he a human or a ghost? It's all like this, can he still live?"

"Should..." Jiang Shining replied subconsciously, but found that he couldn't answer.He hesitated for a moment, carefully picked up the thin head on the ground, and called out tentatively: "Xue...Brother Xue? Are you still awake? When you are awake, you respond.

"..."

He waited for a moment with bated breath, but heard no answer.The hand holding Xue Xian's head trembled, and he hastily placed his head in Xuan Min's palm.

"Is it useful to paste it together?" Lu Nianqi asked dryly.

Can that work?Have you ever seen someone who turned his head and used paste to stick it alive?Why don't you stick one for me to see?

Jiang Shining was full of words and wanted to vomit, but in the end, because of Lu Nianqi's young age, he held back and looked at Xue Xian whose body was separated with a sad and worried expression.

In the end, Xuan Min, who had been looking down at his palm, suddenly opened his mouth and said, "It's hopeless, let's burn it."

Jiang Shining and Lu Nianqi yelled almost in unison: "What?"

Xuan Min's expression didn't change, he looked cold and serious, seeing that Jiang Shining took it seriously, his legs went weak immediately: "Master, are you serious?"

"I don't collect the paper man's corpse." Xuan Min responded, and moved the burning paper talisman in the other hand closer to Xue Xian's paper body.

At the moment when the tongue of fire was about to touch the paper, a faint voice sounded next to Xuan Min's ear: "Stop, you dare!"

The sound obviously did not come from the paper, but from the void next to Xuan Min's ear.

Jiang Shining, who looked gloomy and doubtful, suddenly raised his head when he heard the sound, looked straight at Xuan Min, and circled him back and forth, but didn't dare to speak, because he couldn't find Xue Xian at all.

In fact, at the moment when the paper skin broke in two, in order to avoid suffering one more physical pain for nothing, Xue Xian simply broke his true spirit out of the paper skin.The true spirit has no substance, like the wind or the air, and no one can see it.It just happened to fit Xue Xian's mind—it's a coincidence that he lost his head by accident, it's really embarrassing, and he doesn't really want to see people.

So he silently gathered behind Xuan Min, acting as the soul behind Xuan Min.

He originally thought that swimming past without a sound like this, talking eerily into the bald donkey's ear, would frighten the bald donkey into a loss of composure.

Who knew that Xuan Min didn't even turn his head, and replied in an unsurprising tone: "Aren't you pretending to be dead?"

Xue Xian: "..."

As the saying goes, one thing falls one thing, ever since meeting this bald donkey, Xue Xian felt like he was about to vomit blood.

"How do you know that I'm pretending to be dead?" Xue Xian was so pissed off that he couldn't be frightening, he held back for a long time, and squeezed out these words from his teeth.

Xuan Min flipped the palm of his hand without changing his expression, put the cardboard that was going to be burned back into the secret bag, and replied indifferently: "The disaster will last for a thousand years."

Xue Xian wanted to send him to heaven.

but……

Thinking of something, Xue Xian forcibly suppressed his violent temper.He reluctantly gave in and said, "Okay, it's not easy for a man with my tolerance to be as knowledgeable as a bald donkey like you, so talk nonsense as you like."

Xuan Min tilted his head when he heard the words, and glanced lightly at the void next to his ear, as if he felt that this evil person had taken the wrong medicine, yet he was able to hold back his words and be honestly bullied.

Xue Xian cleared his throat in a low voice, probably feeling that it would take some shame to say it.He glanced at Jiang Shining and Lu Nianqi who had heard the sound, and decided to lower his voice.

The true spirit has no entity, so it doesn't matter how big or small it is, just like a gust of wind.He shrank himself again, swam to Xuan Min's ear, and said in a voice so low that no one else could hear him, "Baldy donkey, let's discuss it."

Xuan Min didn't open his mouth to speak, but he didn't move either, apparently waiting for his next words.

"Lend me your body." Xue Xian said.

Xuan Min: "..."

Xue Xianwu groped for a while, felt that this statement sounded a little outrageous, and silently changed another sentence: "No, I didn't intend to take your house. I mean, find a place for me to stay, it's best to be close to it. your waist."

Xuan Min: "..."

Xue Xian: "..." How can it be so hard to speak human words!

The reason why he was so entangled was because the true spirit could not float without attachment for a long time, and had to find some real objects as support, otherwise it would disperse while floating.The longer the true spirit wanders, the greater the damage to the vitality.He didn't want his body, which had been brought back with great difficulty, to turn around and become paralyzed again.

The little cardboard man was broken, and he couldn't live on it for a while.

As for why it is said to stick to the waist...

Ever since the golden pearl entered Xuan Min's secret pocket, he felt more and more that Xuan Min's physique was really special.So he couldn't help but think of the "ringing of the bell" he heard twice before, both times came from the root of Xuan Min's waist, and both times made him dizzy and dizzy.

The changes brought about by Jin Zhu must have something to do with this.

He even had some unrealistic thoughts - if Jin Zhu was so close to Xuan Min's waist, and he was so close, with both approaches, would it not be long before he could return to his original body? up?

Although the real dragon's muscles and bones have been stretched, there is still hope for new ones to grow and take care of them.

He wanted to return to his original body as soon as possible, to re-grow his dragon muscles and bones, so as not to be inconvenient to move like he is now, and to have to haggle over everything he wants.

"Forget it, I mean just find something to let me stay, and I don't have to wrap my waist around, I'll just go into your secret pocket." Xuan Min didn't say a word, Xue Xian had already changed his request one after another, and took the initiative. Losing power and humiliating the country took a few steps back.

Xuan Min glanced at the emptiness: "It was like mourning for a concubine before, but now you want to go in on your own initiative?"

Xue Xian bit the tip of his tongue and hummed unwillingly: "Yes, yes, just say it's okay."

Xuan Min asked indifferently, "Why?"

Xue Xian mechanically said: "Your bones are strange."

Xuan Min shook his head, as if he had nothing to say to this evil obstacle.After thinking for a while, he took out Xue Xian's golden bead from his secret pocket.

When he twisted his index finger around, there was an incision that was neither deep nor shallow, and bright red blood beads leaked out from the incision.Using the blood bead as ink, he raised his hand and drew a spell on the golden bead.Xue Xian knew how to draw the spell, because he had drawn exactly the same on the back of the thin paper when he lived in sojourn.

After he finished collecting the last stroke, the golden bead shone slightly, and then dimmed in an instant.

Xuan Min raised his hand to grab Xue Xian's floating place, and then slapped the golden bead, Xue Xian was patted into the golden bead.

He didn't really return to his body, but he used the golden bead as an ordinary object that could be attached, and stayed in it for the time being.

But even so, he was more than happy.

It had to be said that when the bald donkey wasn't deliberately angry with him, he was barely pleasing to the eye. Just this one move precisely stepped on Xue Xian's point, right in his heart.

When putting Xue Jinzhu back into the dark bag, Xuan Min lowered his eyes and asked indifferently: "Are you still crawling?"

Xue Xianxin said that Lao Tzu is now naked and chubby without even a limb, what a fart!However, he had just accepted Xuan Min's favor, and it was really not good to push his nose so quickly, so he rarely replied honestly: "I won't climb anymore."

"Is it still upside down?"

"..." Xue Xian moved his lips angrily, and finally said aggrievedly, "Stop making trouble."

Seeing that he was finally being honest, Xuan Min let Jin Zhu fall into the bottom of the bag.

So far, this evil obstacle has finally settled down.

One is that he just promised Xuan Min to be honest, he can't turn his face and deny people, he has to put on a show.The second is that Xuan Min did choose a good place for him to live in this round golden bead. He couldn't jump even if he wanted to. Can't find any more tricks.

Jiang Shining didn't hear Xue Xian's bargaining words, but after taking Xuan Min's series of actions into his eyes, he more or less got a general idea.He pointed to Xuan Min's secret pocket and asked, "Is he injured himself?"

Xuan Min shook his head.

Only then did the nerd feel relieved.

After dealing with Xue Xian's unlucky bead, Xuan Min was able to observe where they were.

He took a handful of fire with his fingertips, and took a look around—this is an underground stone room built by no one, and the ground is slightly inclined to one side.

Xuan Min flicked the paper fire in the inclined direction.

Jiang Shining and Lu Nianqi were startled by the two huge shadows almost at the same time.

"What?!" Jiang Shining gasped, and took two steps back.

"Tomb-suppressing beast." Xuan Min said.

I saw that the sloping ground was only three or four feet long, and at the end was facing a half-open stone gate. On both sides of the stone gate stood a huge stone beast. The beast was about ten feet high, with round eyes and high forehead, not angry Self-prestige.They all lowered their eyes slightly, quietly examining the comer in a condescending manner.

Such beasts with such appearance and specifications can usually only be seen in the tombs of some princes and princes.

"Tomb town?!" Now that Xuan Min explained, Jiang Shining didn't doubt that he was there, and immediately the back of his neck felt chilly. He touched his arm and asked, "Is it possible that this Grave Island really lives up to its name? Big grave?"

Lu Nianqi's face turned green when he heard it: "But... I've never heard of such a saying? It's said that it's called Fentou Island because it's shaped like a tomb bag. If it's a real tombhead, how would those drug dealers dare to come?"

Xuan Min raised his hand to shine a light on the face and feet of the tomb-suppressing beast, and said calmly, "It's a new carving."

Jiang Shining: "How new?"

Xuan Min said, "Within three to five years."

It was carved within three to five years, which means that the underground stone tomb was also built within three to five years?That's strange, who is it for?

Xuan Min swept the place where they fell with a backhand of fire, then illuminated the indistinctly deep tunnel above, and shook his head.

Anyway, the way we came here is already impassable, so we can only walk down to find another exit.

Xuan Min swept away the flames, then took a step forward.

Both Jiang Shining and Lu Nianqi shrank and feared, but they didn't dare to get too far away from Xuan Min, so after hesitating for a moment, they hurried a few steps and followed closely behind Xuan Min.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I am a wild ghost myself." Jiang Shining read it twice slowly, and it seemed that he was really better.

Xuan Min passed between the two giant tomb-guarding beasts, and pushed open the half-closed stone door.

Even if the wooden door has been in disrepair for a long time, it will only make a "squeak" sound when it is opened.But this stone door was different. During the process of pushing it open, the bottom of the real door rubbed against the same stone ground, making rattling noises.The voice seemed extraordinarily empty and quiet, and there were several echoes in the unknown depth of the tomb, which made people's hairs stand on end.

Lu Nianqi immediately pinched his legs, feeling like he wanted to pee.However, he was a stubborn and unrepentant character, not only did he not back up, but he bravely took two steps forward.

In this kind of ghost place, you can't always know whether it's safer to go first or last.

Just when Xuan Min was about to push the stone door to the bottom, the door suddenly knocked against something, and there was a muffled sound, then it couldn't be pushed anymore, as if it was stuck.

"There's something behind the door!" Lu Nianqi said with some trepidation, and there was some shivering in his voice that he had tried hard to restrain.

Xuan Min didn't rush to look at the things behind the door first, but used the firelight to sweep the general scene in front——

"Mother—" Lu Nianqi finally couldn't help but exclaimed.

In fact, judging from the area swept by the fire, this room should still be a transitional tomb passage, no different from the stone room just now, only narrower and longer.What really frightened Lu Nianqi was the walls on both sides of the tomb passage. On the walls, there were totems of beasts that were more terrifying than the tomb-slayer beasts. However, the tone of the strokes was neither black nor colored, but red. .

"This, this, is this painted with blood?" After all, Lu Nianqi was still a little younger, and was the first to panic.

How much blood is needed for two totems of this size? !

Jiang Shining was soft-tempered, so he shivered for a while before realizing it and said, "Probably not, you smell it, if it's really painted with blood, this tomb should be full of rusty smell."

"That's right." Lu Nianqi quickly calmed down, took a deep sniff twice, "There is no smell of blood."

Once you calm down, you can discover many more details.

For example, the color of this totem is still too red. If the blood was really dried on the wall, it would have turned maroon by now.

"Cinnabar." Xuan Min raised his eyes and glanced at the walls on both sides.

It is easy to use blood and beasts in the tomb, but the use of cinnabar is a bit intriguing-because cinnabar has the effect of warding off evil spirits and suppressing ghosts, using cinnabar to draw the totem of this tomb is not to wish the people in this tomb a hundred years of sleep or an early date. To die, but to prevent him from being reborn forever.

This is an extremely cruel approach.

Although Jiang Shining had never seen a large tomb, it was the first time in his life that he came back to wander around the tomb, and he didn't know much about the rules in the tomb, but he still knew a lot about cinnabar.When he was in the medical hall, he had been fascinated by his ears and eyes since he was a child, and he could remember the use of many medicinal materials without deliberately memorizing them.But he still likes to flip through books related to medicinal materials, including cinnabar, over and over again when he has nothing to do.

"Using cinnabar to draw animals..." Jiang Shining muttered, "Who hates the people in the tomb so much, it takes a lot of hatred to do such a thing."

Xuan Min waved his hand and said, "Maybe it's something evil in the tomb."

If the person buried in the tomb is always restless, the tomb repairer will add cinnabar to the tomb to protect the peace in desperation.

Jiang Shining and Lu Nianqi stopped making wild guesses.

Seeing that Xuan Min no longer paid attention to the wall and turned to the back of the stone gate, they hurriedly followed.

Seeing this, Lu Nianqi's expression changed.

I saw that there was indeed something blocking the back of the stone door, so that the door couldn't be opened to the end.But it wasn't something rare that was pushing against the door, it was a person.

Two people, one old and one young.

The elderly one curled up on the ground, covering his shoulders with one hand, the jacket on his body was covered with plaster, scratched in several places, and the back of his hand was covered with bruises.

The young one, leaning against the wall, sat paralyzed, his eyes closed, his lips were pale, he looked a little weak, probably worse than Jiang Shining, he was too thin, and his cheekbones were particularly prominent.He was still holding dead wood branches in his hands, about three of which were entangled with red strings, and the branches were intertwined.

If Xue Xian could poke out the pocket at this time, he would have found that he recognized the wooden branch tied with the red string, and he also recognized the slumped young man——

It was none other than Lu Shijiu they were looking for.

"Nineteen?!" Lu Nianqi was stunned for a moment, then rushed over.He was at a loss at first, wondering whether he should touch Lu Shijiu or not.He couldn't help shaking Shijiu's shoulders until he confirmed that there were no obvious scars on Lu Shijiu's exposed part.

"Nineteen? Lu Nineteen?! Wake up!" Nian Qi shouted while shaking, seeing that Nineteen hadn't moved, he pushed the old man on the ground again: "Old man Liu, old man Liu, wake up!"

Jiang Shining stepped up and wanted to go over: "Let me see."

But just when he was about to bend down to check, the bloodless Lu Shijiu finally couldn't bear Nianqi's shaking, and struggled to open his eyes.

Also waking up was the old man Liu who was curled up on the ground. The old man seemed to be dreaming that his feet were stepping on the ground. He twitched his feet and opened his eyes suddenly.He stared at his cloudy old eyes for a while, then slowly got up.

Jiang Shining hurriedly bent down to give him a hand, and helped him upright.

Old man Liu and Lu 19 looked at each other for a while, and then looked at the person in a daze, as if they had been dizzy for a long time and couldn't react.

Jiang Shining and Xuan Min looked at Lu Shijiu's actions, and found that he was indeed as Lu Nianqi said, which was a bit strange. Just looking at his series of actions, it was impossible to detect that he was blind.

Lu Nianqi patted Shijiu on the shoulder abruptly and said, "Are you stupid? Aren't you able to see Qi? So you won't recognize me?"

With this shot, Lu Shijiu seemed to have finally regained his senses.He murmured in a hoarse voice: "Nianqi?" Then he stared at Lu Nianqi intently for a while.No matter how he looked at his eyes, they really didn't seem to be sick. When he stared at Lu Nianqi, he could even see the light gathering inside, which was no different from ordinary people's eyes, except that they were darker.

But after a while, Jiang Shining found that he finally showed some habits of blind people——

That Lu Shijiu seemed to be very slow in recognizing people, his eyes moved slightly, he looked up and down at Nian Qi for a while, and seemed a little uncertain, then stretched out his hand and pressed Nian Qi's forehead for a while.

"Hiss—" Lu Nianqi gasped, gritted his teeth and said, "Why are you touching this side again? I just fell and hurt my head, and the mole can't even be touched."

Hearing this, Xuan Min raised his eyes and took a glance.

I saw that the few scattered moles in Lu Nianqi's court life palace were indeed smashed, two round skins were broken, and there were some bloody scars, which were indeed quite different from the original ones.

Hearing this, Lu Shijiu grabbed Nian Qi's hand again and put it in front of the tip of his nose, as if he planned not to look at his palm.

Nianqier pulled his hand back without saying a word, frowned and said: "Don't touch your hand, just now I was scratched on the boat, and it just got better, when I fell down, I knocked it again, and it split again. You If I press it lightly and hard for a while, my hand will definitely be useless."

Lu Nineteen silently withdrew his hand and nodded, as if he had confirmed that the person who came was indeed his younger brother. He repeated it word by word: "Lu Nianqi."

This time, it was no longer a questioning tone.

In his own yard, Lu Nianqi was so anxious that he shed a few tears. Now that he finally found Lu Shijiu, he returned to his impatient look, as if he was not willing to come to find someone.Seeing that Jiang Shining was quite speechless.

But he soon discovered that Lu Shijiu was not much better.After touching people and being supported by Lu Nianqi to stand up again, the first thing he did was to take Lu Nianqi's hand off his arm, as if he didn't like being supported by others. Where is the enthusiasm, and even a little... indescribably cold.

What's wrong with this?

Jiang Shining looked at the two brothers with some displeasure, and finally understood what Xue Xian meant by "not very close".

But he thinks that he is not blind, and he can barely distinguish between the sincere and the fake.Whether it's Lu Nianqi's worry at home, or the relieved look that flashed across Lu Shijiu's face when he recognized the person just now, it doesn't seem to be fake. How about ignorance?

After standing up, Lu Jiujiu asked about old man Liu's situation, then he fiddled with his few wooden branches and stopped talking to others.

Xuan Min glanced at him up and down, then at Old Man Liu, and frowned slightly.

"Master, aren't you and brother Xue looking for this little nineteenth brother?" Seeing him frowning, Jiang Shining couldn't help reminding him that he didn't know what was wrong.

Xuan Min nodded, and took out the golden bead from the secret pocket.

Xue Xian was rolling in Xuan Min's pocket until he was a little dizzy. When he was still a piece of paper, he felt that the golden pearl had changed slightly under Xuan Min's influence.Now that he was directly in the golden bead, he realized that the change was not subtle at all!

At first, he felt that he was soaking in a hot pool, and there was a spring under the hot pool, and the steam was bubbling from the spring, which made him feel comfortable all over.

However, as the temperature of this pool of water rose higher and higher, it became hotter and hotter, until now it was almost scalding hot, and he realized belatedly that what he was soaking in was not a hot pool. Planning to make a pot of dragon broth? !

It's a pity that it's too late to regret, and I can't get out even if I think about it.Because he found that the soup was still a little sticky, and his hands and feet were so weak that he couldn't even lift it.

Under such circumstances, he could no longer care about things outside of the secret bag, so he was a little confused about what Xuan Min and the others did and who they met, let alone interjecting. .

When he was boiled to the point of melting, Xuan Min's hand saved him.

This bald donkey is also a rare thing. Obviously, the temperature of the fingers is no different from that of ordinary people, and even slightly cooler. How can the golden beads be baked like this in the dark pocket against the waist and abdomen?

When Xue Xian was held in his hand, he let out a long breath—he finally felt cooler.

The temperature of Zhenling has dropped a little, and his head is not so dizzy.

He rolled back and forth twice in Xuan Min's palm, cooling down the temperature all over his body, then he stopped obediently, and looked outside through the thin, translucent golden skin.

"Lu Nineteen?" Xue Xian asked in surprise, "So you found it?"

Xuan Min let out a "hmm".

Xue Xian felt a hot paste on his forehead, and his reaction was a little slow.After a while, he lazily replied: "Oh, that would be great. It just so happened that you also brought a wooden branch, so you can help me find someone."

After finishing speaking, he lazily rolled around, and said to Xuan Min: "Bulk, give me the money."

Xuan Min: "..."

Xue Xian saw a few pieces of silver coming out from his other hand, squinted his eyes and lazily shouted: "I'll pay you back the gold."

Lu Nineteen "looked" at them, and said to Lu Nianqi, "Take it, don't take too much."

He is young, only seventeen or eighteen years old, but he also has strange habits.He wanted to support his family, so naturally he had to collect money from him for divination, but the amount of money was not fixed, it was only a fixed amount.Gold, silver, and copper are all up to you. If you only want to give copper coins, then you get three copper coins. If you want to give silver, you still get three silver coins. If you take the wrong medicine and want to give gold, you still get three coins.

Xue Xian was the kind who took the wrong medicine, and when he found him, he was given three small golden beads.

Lu Nianqi honestly took three pieces of broken silver from Xuan Min, and wanted to stuff him into Lu Shijiu's pocket, but was blocked by Lu Nineteen: "My coat is scratched, you take it first, Stop being greedy."

"Who is greedy?!" Lu Nianqi frowned.

Lu Nineteen ignored him, only looked in Xuan Min's direction, and asked, "What are you trying to predict?"

Xuan Min handed over the golden bead in his hand.

Xue Xian said: "It's this golden bead, please help me figure out where are the people who handled this golden bead before."

Lu Shijiu didn't take the golden bead into his hand either. He just squatted down on the spot and touched the wooden branch tied with the red string in his hand. While staring at the golden bead, he supported the wooden branch and moved slowly on the ground.

Jiang Shining watched for a while before realizing that it was not Lu Shijiu who was holding the wooden branch to write on the ground, but the wooden branch was writing by itself, and Lu Shijiu's fingers could barely touch it.He stared at the wooden branch for a long time, and saw several criss-cross lines drawn on the ground, as well as some sporadic dots.

It wasn't until the wooden branch fell to the ground with a "click" that Lu Shijiu frowned and picked it up.

He touched the marks on the ground with his fingers, his eyes were half closed, his lips were silently opened and closed, and he was talking to himself to figure out something.

After a while, he looked up at the golden bead in Xuan Min's hand, and said in Xue Xian's direction, "It's a little strange, only four of them can be traced, and there is one who can't be counted for some reason, as if it doesn't exist. "

Xue Xian pondered for a moment, and said, "Five people in total? All right, then tell me the calculated four people first."

"En." Lu Shijiu nodded and said, "One is a fisherman, the other is that person I can't figure out, the third is a warlock, and the fourth is that you should have seen him in the government office. People, surnamed Liu. The fifth is this master."

Xue Xian: "..." Well, even if I don't count, I know there are these four.

"Then what about the current trace?" Xue Xian asked again.

Lu Shijiu said slowly while touching the traces on the ground: "The fisherman is now in Anqing Mansion across the river. You will see that the warlock is repairing in the Xiaolong Cave in the sky on the line of Panlong Mountain in the middle of Sichuan. Master Liu ..."

He rubbed his fingers against the ground, frowned slightly and then loosened his brows, still looking indifferent: "Master Liu was caught in water last night, so he won't survive today. Master, I don't need to say anything."

After explaining one by one, Lu Jiujiu withdrew his hand and looked at Xue Xian.

"Master Liu won't survive today?" Jiang Shining was a little stunned.

When he was in Liu's house back then, when he heard Mrs. Liu say that the debt must be paid, he never thought that Master Liu would really pay off the debt, let alone that he would pay it off so quickly.

Hearing this, Lu Shijiu raised his hands and groped the ground again, and said, "Well, I really won't survive today, and now I'm lying in a side room."

Jiang's family died of running water, and Jiang and his wife were refined into graphite after death, so they must have also experienced the pain of oil splashing and fire burning.The idiot Liu Chong lives in a side room with a shady roof all day long, and he has sucked in the luck for several years, and almost took his life into it.

Now Master Liu's time has really come to an end, he died in the fire, and closed his eyes in a side room... Sure enough, the debt must be paid.

Lu Jiujiu looked at Xue Xian and said, "Is there anything else I need to ask?"

Xue Xian shook his head, and the whole golden bead rolled along with him: "I know everything I need to know."

Lu Shijiu looked at the others again: "What about you?"

Hearing this, Xuan Min put his fingers together and put Xue Xian back into his dark bag.When the golden bead slipped off Xuan Min's somewhat warm fingers, Xue Xian thought to himself: It would be great if he could reach out, but he should hold on for a while anyway.

It's a pity that the beads were round and rolled into the bottom of the bag without any hesitation, and Xue Xian's pot of dragon broth started to boil again.

After throwing away the golden beads, Xuan Min took out a piece of folded thin paper from his bosom.

This is exactly the one he unfolded in the upper room of Guiyunju earlier. There are many things written on the paper, some are words, some even have rough pictures, and some are very scribbled, as if they were jotted down. Yes, some wrote the sequence carefully.

When he handed the thin paper to Lu Shijiu, he didn't unfold it, but kept it folded, and from a loose corner, he could vaguely see two characters written at the beginning: looking for someone.

Xuan Min said in a deep voice, "I want to know who left this paper, thank you."

Lu Nianqi still accepted the three grains of silver from Xuan Min in an orderly manner.Nineteen looked at the thin paper and painted on the ground with one hand holding the wooden branch.

Xue Xian, who had just fallen into the dark bag, was also very curious about Xuan Min. Before his brain was dizzy again, he was also listening to the movement outside the dark bag with his ears up.

A moment later, when Xue Xian was about to be confused again, he heard Lu Shijiu's voice vaguely said, "Yourself."

Xue Xian: "..."

It's a bit sick to ask Guazi who owns the paper I left.He suddenly thought of what Jiang Shining said earlier, the smell of medicine on Xuan Min's body was somewhat similar to the medicine used to treat people with lost souls.

Could it be that this bald donkey really has amnesia? !Then he pretended to be too normal, right?

Not only Xue Xian, Jiang Shining who was standing aside, even Lu Nianqi couldn't help looking at Xuan Min with strange expressions.

However, Jiang Shining felt that this look was a bit rude, and quickly looked away, eyes and nose closed, mouth and heart.

Xuan Min didn't even look at them. He seemed to be unaware of these gazes. Without changing his face, he asked Lu Shijiu calmly, "Are you sure you've never been in the hands of others?"

Lu Nineteen touched the ground to reconfirm, then nodded and said, "No."

Xuan Min nodded, "Thank you."

Now that the calculations were done, Lu Nianqi said, "You haven't come home for half a month, is it because you fell into this ghost place?"

Lu Shijiu seemed not to have heard this, and pointed to the doorway behind him: "I can't get out the way I came here, so I have to go inside."

Nian Qi frowned and stared at him, then let go of his hands angrily and walked aside.

Lu Nineteen ignored him, and walked along the tomb passage, towards the deeper tomb door.Old man Liu also followed in silence, and the two of them walked a few steps one after the other, then looked back at Xuan Min and the others, and said, "We have roughly touched the road once, and we almost reached the end. it should be OK."

After speaking, he tilted his head, motioning for them to follow.

Xuan Min looked at them silently for a moment, didn't say much, raised his foot and followed them. When he was walking, he turned his head slightly and said to Jiang Shining and Lu Nianqi, "Walk behind me."

The two agreed, tailing behind Xuan Min like tails. On the one hand, they were a little scared, but on the other hand, they didn't dare to get too close to Xuan Min, for fear of stepping on his cloud-like monk robe.

Jiang Shining saw that Nianqi still had a debt-collecting face, so he whispered to him: "Your brother must be very tired, he probably tried to find the way out a lot, you see that he is half-dry in his coat and robe, he is probably caught Soaked in water, although slightly dry
