Strangers

In fact, it was your left hand that started the problem. After years of erosion, until the resignation of the marriage, the inner weakness was maximized, so the "weak self" dominated and the "strong self" was driven into the right hand.No, saying 'weak me' and 'strong me' is just rhetorical, there is no such distinction at all. —It is not others but yourself that denounces a part of yourself as alien. "

At this point in the story, I closed my folding fan and looked across.

After 3 minutes, the new guest took out two stacks of banknotes and put them on the table.

"What happened to that man after that?" the guest asked.

"Just go back to being a normal person," I said.

Xie Yu thought, this is definitely not me.

There are two pieces of evidence, one, his father died when he was four years old, not seven; two, Zhou Yuan broke up with him face to face, while the man's fiancée was on the phone.

All other coincidences are regarded as the same by him.

After fastening the copy of the diary, Xie Yu opened the curtains to see his own shadow reflected on the window glass, blending with the magnificent night view of the city.

☆、Nine Palaces

Qi Xie said to go to sleep, and slept from the afternoon until the next day.

It was rare for Ding Li to get up early, and he looked into the master bedroom opposite. There was no one on the bed, but the crack in the bathroom door was lit.

"What are you doing here?" Qi Xie came out wiping his hair.

"Wait for you to eat breakfast." Ding Li frowned as he said, "I tell you not to touch the wound with water, it will be infected!"

"It's okay." Qi Xie shook his left arm, "It's ready."

Ding Li grabbed his arm and took a closer look. There was only a shallow scar where the blood was oozing yesterday: "Strange, your blood circulation is so poor, how could it heal faster?"

Qi Xie withdrew his arm: "Don't use your human medical common sense to apply to me."

Ding Li thought of something again: "Where are the sutures?"

"Just cut it."

"Could I come next time for this kind of thing?"

"Yes, Doctor Ding." Qi Xie came to the dining table, pulled out the chair and made a cup of tea.

Ding Li sat down on the opposite side and handed the bowl and chopsticks: "Ah Jing, are you angry?"

"No."

"Then I don't think you're happy."

Qi Xie flicked the cup, and a handle of tea sank down: "Probably because I didn't sleep well."

Ding Li looked at the clock: "You seem to have slept for seventeen hours."

"Wake up at two o'clock in the morning."

"Insomnia?"

"No, just sort out what happened recently."

"You can also tidy up during the day."

"I can't sleep anyway."

"That's still insomnia."

Qi Xie tore off the towel and put it on the back of the chair: "You were actually playing Fang Xun's game console the night before yesterday."

"That's a PSP." Ding Li corrected.

"According to his personality, he will not lend out his own things easily."

"Well, it was true that he was playing alone at the beginning. I went over to look at it and found that I had played that game before, and he lent it to me after chatting."

"Why are you pretending to be stupid with me?" Qi Xie snorted, "May I know that you are trying to get close to him?"

Ding Li blinked: "Are you jealous?"

"Yes, I've known him for a few days, and he didn't say he would lend me the game console."

"That's a PSP."

Qi Xie smiled: "Seriously, did you find anything?"

Ding Li shook his head: "In some respects, he was not scheming, but at that time Assistant Qian was by my side, so I didn't have a chance to speak. I'll see if I have a chance next time."

"Alright." Qi Xie put down his chopsticks, "Let's go out at ten o'clock and go to the University City."

"Another case?" Ding Li was dissatisfied, "I just came back from Liling Mountain yesterday, at least let you rest."

"It's not that she asked me to go today, it's the entrusting unit."

"Tell them two days late."

"No, I will take the IELTS test tomorrow."

Ding Li tilted his head: "Then I will practice oral English with you in the afternoon?"

Qi Xie ignored his joke: "Three suicides happened in that college one after another. Three students jumped from the same teaching building one after another. The school thought it was a crime, and they closed the building for a whole day under the pretext of arranging the examination room. Let's see the scene."

"It turned out to be this matter. There was a lot of noise on the Internet some time ago."

"Oh? What do you say?"

"The school is irresponsible, the psychological quality of college students is really bad, etc., light a candle on the way, deserve a like."

Qi Xie interrupted: "I'm asking about facts, not attitudes."

Ding Li shrugged: "It's a pity that there are no facts on the Internet, only attitudes."

The spirit-calling banner at the school gate hangs vertically, facing the pile of paper money, the cleaning staff simply gave up cleaning and stood beside the portrait with a broom and sighed.The wheels of the black Mercedes-Benz brought air currents, which made the paper money twirl, and the one that flew the highest happened to cut into the gap of the rear window.

He stretched out his hand to pinch it, leaned close to his nose and took a sniff.

"What can Mr. Qi smell?" Master Zhang asked.

"It's nothing, just the smell of parents' tears." Qi Xie threw it back out the window, and the paper money skimmed across the green belt, landed on the other side of the main road of the campus, and was swallowed by the sweeping truck that was slowly approaching.

The receptionist of the school was waiting at the three-way intersection. She was a woman who reported her surname as Jin, with light makeup, a straight face, a white shirt and a skirt, and no jewelry on her whole body.

"We are an institution of higher learning. It is not good for the school leaders to receive Feng Shui masters. Please understand." Secretary Jin gestured with his right hand without sincerity, "This way, please."

Qi Xie guessed where her hostility came from, and asked a random question to open the topic: "This campus was put into use last year?"

"Yes." Secretary Jin took a long stride, "The information has been sent to your mailbox, and it is clearly written on it."

Qi Xie smiled: "The description of the parties is naturally more valuable than written words."

Only then did Secretary Jin cooperate, and recalled the scene at that time: "I passed the Fuyu Building early that morning, and heard someone shouting at the roof, and looked up to find a boy standing outside the railing, and he jumped off before he had time to react. As for the other two times I was not there, one was on the night of March 3, and the other was in the early morning of May 14."

"It seems that I jumped four times in half a year."

"It's three." Secretary Jin said impatiently, "Please do more homework."

"I mean, including this one." Qi Xie pointed at his fan.

The landing point was 100 meters away, and it was drawn down from the height of the fourth floor. Ding Li beside him rushed over without saying a word. Secretary Jin put away his panic for a moment, and immediately took out his mobile phone and dialed 120.

"The one with the head down, even the gods can't save it." Fang Xun put his hands in the pockets of his sweater and blew bubbles.

"Did Mr. Qi have a premonition?" Assistant Qian still looked at him leisurely.

"It's all about good eyesight." Qi Xie raised his hands and walked forward.

The security line in the examination room temporarily played an additional function, blocking the onlookers outside. Ding Li on the lawn slowly shook his head.

"Supreme Taiyiduer Tianzun..." Suddenly, a hoarse voice recited, and a man came over: 50 years old, thin, wearing an old navy blue double-breasted jacket, gesticulating with bony fingers, and his eyes Sunken, with a gray beard under his cheeks.A man and a woman followed each other on his left and right, walking step by step, like two disciples, and at the end stood a man in a gray suit.

"What a coincidence." The gray suit was ironic.

"Morning, Secretary Lu." Secretary Jin replied.

"It seems that our two directors really have a good understanding." Secretary Lu glanced at Qi Xie and his party.

"It's a good thing it's the Infrastructure Department, otherwise the school should be closed." Secretary Jin dismissed it.

Assistant Qian guessed the situation, and whispered behind him: "It seems that the two deputy divisions wanted to compete for credit, and each invited a group of people to solve the matter, and it happened to be the day when the building was closed."

Fang Xun excitedly pulled down the earphones: "This time is the battle mode?"

Qi Xie shook his fan: "Don't be too careless, because you are strong and lose because you underestimate the enemy."

Fang Xun put his hands behind his head, "Mr. Qi thinks I will lose to these fake Taoist priests?"

"No." Qi Xie glanced at the corpse, "It's something from this building."

The south hall of the Fuyu Building was empty, and the wall facing the entrance was four stories high, and a large landscape mural was pasted on the wall.It is a series of peaks and ridges made of black Taishan stone flakes. Scattered perspective, a stream of water gurgles down from the top of the mountain, bypasses the valley between the mountains, and flows into the small semicircular pool on the first floor.It may have been wet all year round, and the humidity in the hall was very heavy. The pool and walls were dark gray and covered with dark green moss. At first glance, it didn't look like a new building at all, but looked like an old house that had been around for a long time.

Ding Li's gaze never left Qi Xie since he entered the door. Seeing him casually looking around and reading something, he took out a pen and a few yellow papers from the collar, and passed through the door of the duty room. Draw something on the table.

Ding Li leaned over to look, it seemed to be a kind of charm, Qi Xie drew four papers and stopped writing, folded the paper into four triangles, placed them on the table one by one, and told them to take one each.

"Although this thing has a certain effect of exorcism, you should be careful, especially don't touch suspicious objects." Qi Xie urged.

Secretary Jin was indifferent: "There were so many students here yesterday, and I didn't see how they were doing."

"I thought you had already discovered it. Every time something happened, it was when there was no one in the building." Qi Xie handed over the talisman.

Secretary Jin still didn't take it.

"Then the right is to cooperate with our work, thank you." Qi Xiong offered it with both hands respectfully.

Secretary Jin couldn't refuse, so he accepted it and stuffed it into his pocket.

Suddenly a big face appeared behind him.

"Wow!" Fang Xun took a closer look, and it was the Taoist priest who just poked his head over in a gloomy manner.

"Young man." The Taoist squinted his eyes, "You need to practice drawing amulets for a few more years when you go back..."

"The junior understands." Qi Xie was not annoyed, but smiled, "Thank you for your advice, sir."

The Taoist is leaving.

"Go back and practice for a few more years before I let you steal my teacher?" Fang Xun retaliated for the scare, and made a fuss.

The Taoist stopped immediately and took a hissing breath: "Young student, does this disciple of yours owe you discipline?"

Qi Xie still smiled: "He is not a disciple, but an employee."

The Taoist twitched the corner of his mouth like a cramp.

When he walked away, Qi Xie adjusted his sleeves calmly: "I don't think this person is kind, so you should stay away from him later."

Fang Xunman didn't care: "What can his little deeds do to me?"

"At least it can push you down the stairs." Qi Xie took the floor plan handed over by Assistant Qian. The scale of this teaching building is not small. Every twelve classrooms form a square atrium, which is then connected to form a nine-square grid. He counted and found that there are 69 classrooms on the first floor, four floors to one multiplication, and the whole building can accommodate nearly ten thousand people.

"The Fuyu building was designed according to the old principal's suggestion." Secretary Jin led the four of them through the corridor, "From the exterior to the interior decoration, everything is detailed, including the flowers and trees in this courtyard. Just one month after it was built, he became ill from overwork and died."

Assistant Qian nodded and pointed to the lower left corner of Jiugongge: "Are we here now?"

"Yes." Secretary Jin looked up, "The last student jumped from there."

Qi Xie looked over, and saw that the atrium was covered with a steel grille ceiling, which was high and dark, and densely covered with vines, attracting insects and ants.

"Ah Jing, come and see this." Ding Li squatted and beckoned.

Qi Xie stepped forward and found that there was a pattern embedded in the floor tile in the center, eight chess-sized black stones were strung together in four or four rows at an angle of 45 degrees.

☆, Wei Yin

"So that's how it is." Qi Xie understood it in his heart, "There was also a white stone embedded in the center of the front hall just now, I thought it was a decoration and didn't care."

"There are nine shoes, one on the left, three on the right, seven on the right, two and four on the shoulders, six and eight on the feet, and five in the center." There was a sneer on the top of the head, "I don't even know the Luoshu formation and talk about Feng Shui, it's really embarrassing!"

"Hey, don't be rude." The Taoist priest stood in the corridor on the second floor and stopped the male disciple next to him pretendingly, "How can you say that everyone is in the same industry, and the employer is ahead, so you have to save some face for them, right?"

"Yes, yes." Fang Xun raised his head, "For the sake of my peers, I won't say that you memorized that formula completely wrong."

"What nonsense are you talking about! You are absolutely right!" The male disciple squeezed the railing tightly.

"Are you going to jump down and beat me?" Fang Xun smiled.

Assistant Qian tugged at the corner of his clothes: "Don't quarrel with him."

Fang Xun is very innocent: "I didn't argue with him, we are exchanging feelings between colleagues."

"Who is exchanging feelings with you!" the male disciple shouted.

"Look, he's shy."

"you--!"

"Gass!" the Taoist yelled.

The disciple quickly bowed his head and took a step back: "It's Master."

Fang Xun curled his lips: "That's why you are wrong, Master, how can you be so cruel to him when he is still a boy."

"Young students." The Taoist looked down from the bottom of his eyes, "As a senior, I have to remind you of something."

Qi Xie replied with a smile: "I also ask the seniors to advise."

The Taoist snorted coldly: "It's okay to let a dog bite a person, but it's best to see the target clearly, don't be stupid and bite the master who can't be bitten."

Qi Xie was not angry at all, and even cupped his hands upstairs, the Taoist priest sank into the boundary line of the railing, and the smell of gunpowder that permeated the atrium temporarily dissipated.

Secretary Jin coughed: "Do you want to go upstairs and have a look?"

"No need at the moment." Qi Xie said with a smile, "There's nothing to see up there, let's go to other yards first."

"This way, please." Secretary Jin continued to lead the way, "The person just said is right. The patterns in the court are indeed arranged according to the Luoshu. The vertical and horizontal additions are fifteen. The white dots represent yang, and the black dots represent yin. The front hall in the south is the Yangyi Court, and now we are going north from the Yinba Court in the southwest corner to the Yangsan Court in the west.”

Qi Xie nodded, walking happily.

Turning clockwise to the north, Secretary Jin followed the phone call and walked aside, Qi Xie seemed to hold back for a long time, at this moment he finally seized the opportunity and went to the edge of the flower bed in Yang Jiuting.

"Ah Jing, what are you happy about?" Ding Li asked in a low voice.

"There are a lot of bugs here." Qi Xie said.

"What's so happy about bugs?" Ding Li was puzzled.

Qi Xie didn't answer, ran to a corner and started digging through the trash can.

"What are you doing?" Ding Li asked.

"See if there is a suitable container. I want to catch one and take it home."

"How old are you?" Ding Li laughed, and handed over a clean glass bottle after a while.

Qi Xie didn't thank him either, he took it and stepped into the flowers.

"What kind of insect is this?" Ding Li brought the bottle close to his eyes and shook it.

"It glows at night."

"A firefly?"

"Yeah." Qi Xie turned to look at the atrium, "But there are a lot of bugs in this building, including those you can see and those you can't see."

"Could the latter be the reason why the students jumped off the building?"

"One of them is that I saw on the body of the deceased just now. That kind of bug is called Weiyin, black, half an inch long when it is young, and looks like... two hairs with a knot in the middle."

"What shape is that?"

"Chromosomes in Metaphase of Mitosis."

"understood."

"Weiyin reproduces asexually, and most mammals can parasitize. The female insect is about the size of a thumbnail, and looks like a butterfly with four wings. It doesn't like to be noisy and only appears in quiet times. When it sees a host, it will bite. His ears lay worm eggs in the pinna, and the larvae only need half an hour to hatch, and then crawl deep into the ear canal, using the cochlea as a cocoon. It will continuously emit a very thin sound, which may affect the The mind of the host makes it unbearable and self-determined."

After finishing speaking, the other three people also gathered around.

"Is there such a dangerous parasite?" Secretary Jin didn't hear the first half.

"It's not necessarily dangerous." Qi Xie explained, "Weiyin is harmless to most hosts, and only weak-willed people will be affected by it. The four students had a reason to jump off the building, but they were only slightly catalyzed by it. "

"Then what insecticide can be used to kill it?"

Qi Xie did not give a positive answer: "Weiyin has no natural enemies and relies on natural death to balance the number. It has a nest like a bee. The larvae will return to the nest after eclosion in the host body, and then fly out as a mother. After laying eggs , will immediately return to the nest and die there.”

Ding Li proposed a plan: "Can we find that nest and get it away?"

Qi Xie nodded: "That's exactly what I plan to do."

"What was that nest like?"

"You can't help if you say so, I'll just go, and don't make trouble for others."

"Will it be dangerous?"

"Don't worry, it doesn't dare to bite me."

Ding Li was not at ease at all, and was about to ask again, but saw a female disciple of the Taoist priest passing through the corridor from the south. Hong Liang clasped his fists and said that the master opened an altar in Yangwu Court, and he sincerely invites everyone to come and observe.

A few people didn't know what to say, and looked at each other.

"Okay, tell Master, we'll go there now." Qi Xie replied.

"Please!" The female disciple clasped her fists again and left.

Assistant Qian Yanran: "Is Mr. Qi going to this Hongmen banquet?"

Fang Xun interrupted: "There is still food and drink at the Hongmen Banquet, who wants to watch that old man dance to the gods!"

"Since he took the initiative to invite, it would be too impolite for us to push back." Qi Xie straightened his front, "Is Secretary Jin coming?"

She shrugged lightly: "I haven't seen it anyway, so let's open my eyes."

In the center of the Jiugongge, in the center of the Yangwuting, five white dots embedded a cross.A confession case stands on the ground, three plates of melons and fruits, two red candles, an incense burner, a jug of wine, and some yellow paper.

Fang Xun kicked a pebble away: "Then why hasn't the old man come? The room is too big and he lost his way."

Qi Xie took a good rest: "He won't have any face if he doesn't make us wait enough."

"Unexpectedly, Secretary Jin is also interested in these things?"

The voice came first, Secretary Lu walked through the front hall, the Taoist priest changed into a grand attire, and followed behind with two disciples.

"Oh, young man, why are you standing there!" The Taoist greeted uncharacteristically enthusiastically, "Hurry up and exchange positions, so that I can subdue the evil spirits in this house!"

"I would like to follow Master's arrangement." Qi Xie agreed slowly.

"Be careful." Ding Li whispered.

"Just take care of yourself." Qi Xie went to the opposite side.

The six people stood around the courtyard in varying degrees of density, the Taoist priest stood in the middle, and the men on the left and the women on the right each had a Dharma protector.

"Everyone!" The Taoist swept his fox eyes, "The poor Taoist is ordered by Tianzun to open an altar here to practice! No one is allowed to leave the magic circle on the way! If you violate it, you will bear the consequences!"

Ding Li looked at Qi Xie across him, but Qi Xie was looking at the roof, Ding Li looked at the roof, only a large area of ​​vines, and looking at Qi Xie again, he was looking at the floor, saying something, as if he was chatting with someone .

At this moment, the Taoist drew out the peach wood sword from behind, poked a piece of yellow paper, pointed it at the candle and burned it, and chanting the Taishang Laojun's urgent order, he took a mouthful of wine and spit it out!The fire flashed, the Taoist chanted non-stop, pulled out the copper bell around his waist and shook it hurriedly, and the left and right guardians also began to chant mantras, making a buzzing noise together.The Taoist priest rang the bell in one hand and played with a sword flower in the other, and took small steps around the venue, passing by two secretaries, passing by several classroom doors, and was about to reach Qixie.

Ding Li clenched his fists and was about to step forward when the Taoist priest walked past Qi Xie again.

"Evil ghost! Quickly reveal yourself!" The Taoist shouted suddenly, and slashed his sword in the air.

"Where are you running!" the Taoist shouted again, jumping up and down from left to right.

"Look at the move!" He slashed away from Assistant Qian, turned sharply with the tip of his sword, and stabbed at Fang Xun!

Snapped!There was a crisp sound.

Half of the peach tree flew out, landed, and bounced on the altar with a bang!Take the incense burner and throw up a piece of fly ash!The people who were still in shock looked through the gray mist, and ten meters away on the opposite side, a silhouette was drawn by the light, and the raised right hand of the man had not been put down.

"This!" Secretary Jin saw it clearly, "This is impossible!"

——With just a wave of the folding fan, the solid wooden long sword was broken in the air!

"Senior, I'm really sorry. If you accidentally damage the sword, the younger generation will definitely compensate you at the original price." A smiling voice came over through the gray fog.

The Taoist priest's face was pale, and he glanced down at the half-cut mahogany dagger in his hand, sweating profusely, not daring to look at him, he hurriedly took a step back: "Where is that!"

"I want to come from the encounter with the younger generation, the senior will always give advice, the younger generation expresses its gratitude, and boldly apply what it has learned here, and please don't be offended by the senior."

"Don't blame! Don't blame!" The Taoist bowed again and again.

"Senior has a very subtle sentence, I don't know if the younger generation remembers it wrong."

The Taoist nodded respectfully.

"It's okay to let a dog bite a person, but it's best to see the target clearly, don't be stupid and bite someone who can't be bitten."

The disciple took up the confession case, and the Taoist fled in despair.

"That was—!" Secretary Jin stepped forward.

Qi Xie picked up the half of the mahogany sword and threw it into the trash can: "It's just a magic trick, to enliven the atmosphere."

"I'm absolutely right!" Secretary Jin's eyes lit up, "Are you interested in coming to our school to give a lecture? About physics?"

"Jin Ming, don't you really think that there is a time-space wormhole?" Secretary Lu sneered, "At first, I pretended not to know each other, and then acted together in such a play. Tell me, how will you share the money with those three accomplices?" where?"

"It depends on the situation." Qi Xie did not refute, "If the two clients are deceived, the reward will be divided into [-]%."

"You think you can get away with it?"

"No, come out to make a living with your cleverness, please show your hands high and give me a way out."

Secretary Lu snorted and left, Qi Xie put away his smirk and brushed the incense ash off his shoulders.

"Mr. Qi." Jin Ming chased after him, "Please explain what happened just now."

"I'm not busy, let's solve the problem of micro-sound first." Qi Xie pointed at his fan, "Go upstairs."

☆, rich

Yang Wuting, four floors, the grille covered with vines is close to the top of the head, and there are more and more mosquitoes.Qi Xie came to the edge of the corridor, put the folding fan in his waist, and jumped onto the railing with both hands.

Ding Li was startled and quickly supported him: "You don't want to die!"

"I can't fall to my death." Qi Xie stepped on a few fake gongs picked out from the pillars, and climbed neatly to the top of the steel grille.

Ding Li turned up without saying a word, and he regretted stepping on the grille. The height under his feet was 20 meters through the gaps in the plants. The slender steel frame was obviously not designed for the master, and it might collapse at any time.

"Could you say hello before you mess around next time?" Ding Li grabbed the arms and legs of the steel frame and crawled forward in order to disperse the force.

Qi Xie turned around: "Who told you to come up, go down."

"I won't go down." While speaking, Ding Li's left foot sank, a section of steel beam was not welded firmly, and he trembled a few times.

Qi Xie knew he couldn't hold him back, so he could only sigh: "Don't go there, this side is safer."

Ding Limao moved over carefully with his waist bent, but Qi Xie was as casual as if he was walking on the road.

"I must have been a cat in my previous life." Ding Li muttered.

"I didn't have the zodiac sign of cat in my previous life." Qi Xie's ears pointed.

Ding Li lowered his head and sniffed: "Did you smell a strange fragrance?"

"Yes." Qi Xie stopped, squatted down, and pushed aside a bunch of branches.

Ding Li leaned forward: "There are flowers here."

"Where?" Qi Xie asked.

Ding Li pointed: "In front of you."

"You should be glad you couldn't see."

"Can't see anything."

"nest."

"where."

Qi Xie pointed: "In front of you."

Ding Li felt strange: "It's normal for you to see things I can't see, why you can't see things I can see."

"Because the flowers you saw were covered by the thousands of live and dead female insects I saw." Qi Xie took out half a stick of incense from the collar, and reached out to him for a lighter.

"How many things did you carry in there?" Ding Li ordered for him.

Qi Xie ignored it, extinguished the open flame of the incense head, found a gap between the vines and plugged it in: "Now wait for these female insects to be fumigated away."

Ding Li groaned in surprise.

"What's your expression?" Qi Xie sat down.

"You actually took the initiative to explain."

"Is there a problem."

"Before I didn't ask you and I didn't explain it. Even if I asked, I didn't necessarily say it. If I said it, I kept half of it. The half I said might not be true."

Qi Xie smiled: "You can't remember the past, can you?"

Ding Li was determined: "Just because of this impression, don't try to play tricks."

Qi Xie watched the wisp of incense slowly dissipate: "I burned the diary twice, one was last week and the other was seven years ago, about Mei..."

"What's the matter?" Ding Li stopped talking when he saw him.

"Even if the old woman didn't take you as a hostage at that time, I would still burn the diary, because one day you suddenly told me that you saw a golden catfish with wings in the moat."

Ding Li was very surprised: "You mean I can see monsters too?"

"Once." Qi Xie looked at the leaden sky in the distance, "Because I told you everything before, you were influenced by my way of thinking and saw things that normal people shouldn't see."

"So you're planning to burn the diary? Never communicate with each other? So that I can become a normal person?"

Hearing the displeasure in Ding Li's words, Qi Xie hummed as if he was justified.

"But if you want to know anything in the future, I will tell you exactly what it is." Qi Xie said again.

Ding Li glanced at him: "Where did you figure it out?"

Qi Xie sighed softly: "I suddenly felt that I underestimated the memory of human beings. Maybe no matter how many times I burn the diary, you can follow your feet and find the wooden door of Zhiguai Zhai. Down, raise your hand and knock up."

Ding Li blinked: "Is this how I found you last time?"

"Someday, a year after 'that'."

"so amazing."

Qi Xie smiled: "I want to know how the sword was broken just now?"

Ding Li was full of interest: "Say it."

"Just now, I guessed that the master had no good intentions, so I searched in Yin Jiuting by the way, and saw an iron-faced dog there."

"What is the iron-faced fang?"

"Like a monkey in hedgehog skin, it jumps very nimbly, and its claws and teeth are very strong." Qi Xie laughed, "So I called it over to discuss it, saying that I was in a bit of trouble, and asked it to help me out. , or kill it."

"This is not a discussion, but a threat." Ding Li corrected him rigorously.

"Then Master sent me away on purpose. I thought it was most likely that he was looking for Fang Fang, so I told Tie Mian Liao to stay beside you and bite off his wooden sword when he came over."

"It turns out that waving the fan is just for show." Ding Li understood, "Will that monster bite people?"

"No, it only eats rust." Qi Xie knew what he was going to say, "It's already the limit to break that sword. If I really do it, I have nothing to do with that Taoist priest."

Ding Li smiled: "But you looked so good just now."

"Of course, I haven't done anything these years. I've been thinking about how to scare people. Fortunately, that master is a complete idiot, otherwise I really don't know how to end it." Qi Xie said, took off the incense and wrung it out. Tuck back the front.

"Did the female worms fly away?" Ding Li looked at the flower.

"There are two or three more, don't worry about it." Qi Xie leaned forward, "Huh?"

"Huh, what?" Ding Li saw him picking up something from the air.

"It turns out the scent is it." Qi Xie suddenly realized, "By the way, don't touch it, it's poisonous."

"If you want to touch me, you can't see where it is."

"That's right, no wonder there are so many bugs in the building, it turned out to be attracted by it."

"What is it?" Ding Li didn't understand.

"A plant, the book says it originated from ancient times. It was used as incense in the palace during the Yin and Shang Dynasties. It was eaten by a favorite concubine and died. King Zhou ordered people to eradicate it so that it became extinct. I didn't expect to see it here." After Qi Xie finished speaking, he frowned, "This is troublesome, even if I remove Weiyin's nest, they will still come back following the scent..."

"Then remove this plant together." Ding Li suggested.

"Its root system is very fragile, and it will die when it is moved." Qi Xie went on to explain, "This thing is called 'Fu', and it looks like a fern. If it is not picked in time, it will lead to pests."

Ding Li was thoughtful: "Listen to you, how do you feel that it is born to wait for people to pick it?"

Qi Xie shook his head: "It's not a human, it's a bird demon called 'Yu'. It is said that it is the only monster in the world that feeds on fragrant fruits."

"Then why doesn't it come to eat this fruit?"

"Because Yu is extinct." Qi Xie sighed softly, "It's just that Fu has no way of knowing, and is still blooming and bearing fruit, holding the fragrance for thousands of years, attracting a bunch of bugs, and I haven't waited for Yu to pick it. fruit."

Ding Li nodded, and suddenly thought of something: "Isn't this building called Fu Yu Building? Is there any relationship between 'Fu Yu' and 'Fragrant Yu'? Just now Secretary Jin said that this layout was designed by the old principal, including the flowers and trees inside. Could it be that he planted this grass?"

"Probably not, Fu cannot be cultivated artificially."

"Then why does it grow on the vines on the roof?"

"I don't know." Qi Xie stood up, "Let's talk about it later, it's not safe here, remember not to step on the beam on the left, it's a bit loose."

Climbing down the railing, only Assistant Qian and Secretary Jin were left in the corridor.

"Fang Xun." Qi Xie patted his cuffs.

"He said he went downstairs to play for a while, so he must have an excuse to check the layout." Assistant Qian replied.

"Maybe it's because of the incident just now that I want to return your favor." Ding Li pointed it out on purpose.

"Secretary Jin." Qi Xie turned to her and asked, "Has the old principal ever said the meaning of the word 'Fu Yu'?"

Jin Ming was a little surprised when he heard the words: "That's not true, I think it means gifted education or something."

"So he also chose the vines on the grill?"

"Yes, especially the vines in Yangwuting. It is said that an organization donated them to the school. They are very precious. At that time, they were transported together with the grille and hoisted up as a whole. On the day of construction, he was sick and came to the site to direct."

Qi Xie and Ding Li looked at each other, confirming the previous guess.

Hearing intermittent and out-of-tune singing from afar, Assistant Qian followed to find him. In the Yin Er Court in the northeast corner, Fang Xun was nodding his head with his earphones on, sitting on the ground and drawing something.

Seeing Qian Sining approaching, Fang Xun pulled down his earphones and set up his notebook: "Sister Qian, look!"

"The painting is really good!" Assistant Qian seemed to praise the child.

Fang Xun snorted and closed the sketchbook with satisfaction.

"How is it? What's wrong with this building?" Assistant Qian asked him.

"No problem." Fang Xun got up and patted his buttocks, "Didn't Mr. Qi just say that there were bugs playing tricks? What does it have to do with the building?"

"If it weren't for the different layout in the building, the insects wouldn't be causing trouble." Qi Xie walked over, "It must be someone who discovered the remains of Fu, killed the crime, and didn't kill the insects. It just so happens that a new district is being built here. So he asked the old principal to make the building into a Luoshu array to ward off evil spirits and exorcise insects, so that the vines with fragrant flowers could be transplanted in. He was afraid that the students would be poisoned by mistake, so he hoisted it to the roof. Unfortunately, at some point, the array was destroyed Only when it is destroyed will it cause pests and ants to plague and hurt people's lives."

Fang Xun moved his right foot: "So you can see it!"

There should have been two patterns of black stones on the floor tiles, but one was missing where it was stepped on.

Qi Xie waved his folding fan: "Did you follow the mutation of Qi to find it?"

"Treating the symptoms is sometimes faster than treating the root cause." Fang Xun proudly stuffed it into the pocket of his sweater, took out an obsidian, and threw it over.

"Why are the specimens different? It's just that the perspectives are different." Qi Xiong snapped, "Where did you find it?"

"The flower bed must have been chiseled out by some boring student." Fang Xun smiled, "If you tell him that he killed four people due to slack, I don't know how he will react."

The teacher arranging the examination room walked in in twos and threes, no one noticed the few people walking out, the incident started and ended silently, during this period, four lives unfortunately passed away, and people expressed their condolences; The sound died, and hundreds of micro-tones were born, and no one knew about it.

Fu is still bearing its fruit and shaking its leaves.

into the night.

After tidying up the dishes, Qi Xie went into the study as usual, just as he locked the diary in the drawer, the light went out.

Boom.A glass jar was placed in front of him.

Qi Xie was taken aback: "I forgot."

Ding Li sat on the table and looked at the jar: "It's so bright."

"Yeah." Qi Xie tapped the pen tip on the glass, ding, ding.

"What's the name of this bug?" Ding Li asked.

"Weak Wing Flowing Light." Qi Xie replied.

"What a strange name."

"It sounds good."

"Did you say that the old headmaster spent so much effort just to protect those few grasses?"

"You don't think it's worth it?"

"No, it is an endangered species after all."

"Then there's no need to ask."

"I mean is there a story behind it.
