First-class Celestial Master [Rebirth]
Chapter 58
This time Zhou Tong slept very deeply, and was woken up by the phone early the next morning. The biological clock of more than 20 years failed to wake him up.
As soon as he answered the phone, Duan Zheng asked nervously on the other end of the phone: "Xiaotong? Are you okay? I was scared to death. It's almost eleven o'clock. You haven't replied to my text message. It's not normal."
Zhou Tong was stunned all of a sudden: "What time?"
"Eleven o'clock." Zhengzheng said.
Zhou Tong turned his head to look at the wall clock, and it was almost eleven o'clock. He leaned against the head of the bed, a little surprised: "I actually slept so late..."
"Sleep?" Duanzheng understood, "This is terrible, it's the first time I saw you sleep so late! Why did you go last night? Didn't you go happy?"
Zhou Tong: "..."
It's not accurate to say it's happy, but it's really happy to say it's not happy. He really can't answer this question.
Zhengzheng made two hey hey, just about to tease, someone over there urged him to do something serious, and Zhengzheng hurriedly said: "I have sent all the information you want to check to your mailbox. Zhao Jingshan has always been quite mysterious, and he didn't find much. You Let’s just make do with it, and if I have other information, I’ll supply it to you!”
Zhou Tong: "Well, thank you."
"Let's say thank you, I still have things to do, so I'll hang up first, see you later."
"Goodbye."
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Tong went to wash his face and brush his teeth, and cooked some noodles for brunch. Thinking of the dream last night, he couldn't get rid of his good mood.
Open the mailbox, the correct email is the first one, Zhou Tong clicks on it, and downloads all the information, there are only five pages in total, most of which are similar to what he found, only a small part he did not find.
Zhao Jingshan has a group of feng shui masters under his command. He is a person who advocates metaphysics, and almost every once in a while he will go to various places to listen to metaphysics explanations from different schools. All industries under his hands are developed through strict feng shui control.
This coincided with Zhou Tong's understanding of Zhao Jingshan.
If the old man colluded with Chen En, what can Zhao Jingshan get from the old man?The secret recipe for making Gu?Or something else... Zhou Tong looked at those pages of information repeatedly, but still couldn't come up with any answer with reference value.
Zhao Jingshan is really too mysterious, and there are very few clues. He is far away in the north, and he is really out of reach.
After thinking about it, Zhou Tong temporarily put Zhao Jingshan's materials into the folder, and waited to see if he could send him other materials in the later stage.
What he cares more about now is how to summon Zhou Da's soul.
Zhou Tong supported his head with one hand, simulated the formation on the table depressedly, and muttered: "The lotus lantern, soul-calling incense, Yin water, my father's clothes... these things are not enough to call his soul. Come here, is it true that he holds some important position in the underworld and can't be easily called? But..." Zhou Tong's eyes were a little uneasy. Hei Wuchang's expression expresses a completely different meaning.
He was worried that Bai Wuchang lied to him, and his father was not doing well in the underworld.
What's more, Zhou Da's death back then was too strange, and he died suddenly. At that time, Zhou Tong hadn't entered the Tao, so there was no clue. Now that he has entered the Tao, he still can't find out the cause of his father's death. It's as simple as committing a fatal accident. After all, although the life span of a person with a fatal accident will be shortened, they will not die without warning.
He had to think again.
Zhou Tong pulled himself together, fished out a few books from the bookshelf behind him, and continued to read. His father has a large collection of books, and he must be able to find a way to summon the souls of the dead.
It took two hours to search, during which Zhou Tong sat at the table concentrating on reading and didn't go to the bathroom until he was interrupted by the sound of knocking on the door.
"Yo, you're still studying after you've graduated? It turns out you're only a top student." Duanmuqiu stood at the door with a smile and asked, "Did I bother you?"
"Don't bother me." Seeing Duanmu Qiu, Zhou Tong's smile rose, and he hurriedly stood up to welcome Duanmu Qiu into the room, "Aunt Qiu, come in and sit down."
Duanmuqiu walked into the room, holding a small box in her hand. She handed the small box to Zhou Tong and said, "Auntie Qiu got some good things for you. I just asked Qi Qing for your address."
"Aunt Qiu said, I'll pick it up from you, and you don't need to bring it over."
"I've always been curious about your store, so it's time to come and have a look." Duanmuqiu looked around, touched Yu Ruyi with a satisfied expression, "The feng shui in your store is indeed good, look at these jades, each one She looks juicy."
She casually glanced at Zhou Tong's desk, saw those books on evocation of souls, and said, "What? Are you studying evocation of souls recently?"
"Yeah." Zhou Tong thought for a moment, then said to Duan Muqiu, "My father died strangely, I want to call his soul over to ask about the situation."
"Your dad?" Duanmuqiu was stunned, "Isn't your dad Zhou Da? Didn't he die when you were seven or eight years old? It's been almost 20 years, and you can still recruit him?"
"Yes." Zhou Tong nodded, "But I still want to try."
Duanmuqiu glanced at the Returning Soul Incense on the table, after opening it, a small piece was dug out, obviously used, she put the lid back on and asked: "The Returning Soul Incense is useless? Have you already entered reincarnation?"
"Probably not." Zhou Tong said, "There was a response, but they couldn't be summoned. I think, the soul-returning incense is not enough."
"Isn't the soul-returning incense enough?" Duanmuqiu looked at Zhou Tong in surprise, as if he had misheard and couldn't believe it, "If the soul-returning incense is not enough, then I really don't know what else can give him invite."
"It's not just the soul-returning incense." Zhou Tong smiled wryly, and he also took out the Tongming lotus lantern, "plus this lotus lantern."
Duanmuqiu: "..."
Duanmuqiu was taken aback for a long time before saying: "This is weird. Both of these two things are the only magic weapon for summoning souls, but neither of them can attract Zhou Da's soul. Zhou Da's soul could be Are you trapped?"
Zhou Tong was silent, his eyelashes drooped, casting a shadow like a small fan.
Seeing this, Duan Muqiu comforted him, "Okay, okay, since the two of them are not enough, let's look for something else, which will surely attract Zhou Da's soul."
Zhou Tong said: "It's very difficult. Originally, the Tongming Lotus Lantern and Soul Calling Incense are two extremely domineering yin weapons. I use well water as a conciliating agent to neutralize them. If it is the same again, it will be difficult to achieve a mutual influence. But it can be a balance of mutual benefit." He patted the pile of more than ten books and said, "Otherwise, I wouldn't have to search for so many days."
Duanmuqiu thought for a while and said, "I do know one thing."
"What is it?"
"Stone of Potency."
Zhou Tong: "Aunt Qiu is referring to the stone of hidden heroes that the alchemist Dong Zhongshu used to summon the soul of Mrs. Li?"
Duanmuqiu: "Yes, it's the stone of potential talents."
It is recorded in "Picking up Relics" that Mrs. Li, the favorite concubine of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, had the reputation of "one look at the city and then the country", but she was jealous of her beauty and unfortunately died young.Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty fell ill with love, and he never forgot Mrs. Li, so he asked alchemist Dong Zhongshu to summon Mrs. Li's soul back from the underworld.
What Dong Zhongshu used was the stone of latent talent.
There is a land north of Heihe called "The Capital of the Wild", which is rich in "Stone of Potential Ying", which is blue in color, as light as a white feather, warm in winter and cool in summer.If you want to use this stone to summon the soul, you can carve the soul into the shape of a villain. At this time, you can use the stone statue to call the soul and let the soul enter the body. It does not breathe like ordinary people, but it can speak like ordinary people, so as to communicate Yin and Yang. .
The Qianying Stone is warm in nature and has a high degree of integration with other magic tools. If it is used together with the Tongming Lotus Lantern and the Returning Soul Incense, not only is it likely that there will be no repulsion, but it will also allow the two to play a better role.
Zhou Tong knew about the hidden hero stone, but he didn't expect that there was a reason for the hidden hero stone.
No matter how miraculous it is written in "Supplements of Relics", it is just a novel written by the predecessors. No one will take such mysterious things written in the novel seriously.
Duan Muqiu saw Zhou Tong's thoughts and said, "Xiao Tong, you don't know about this. This matter is true. What Wang Jia wrote is true. Dong Zhongshu really has this stone of latent talent." , and I happen to know the whereabouts of this gemstone."
"Aunt Qiu?" Zhou Tong looked at Duanmu Qiu in surprise after hearing this.
But Duanmuqiu said: "However, there will be some problems when you use it." Duanmuqiu sighed and explained, "The Stone of Qianying is in the hands of one of my customers. Her daughter got a strange disease when she was seven years old. I don't know where I went, the other souls will disperse without the main soul, so she put the hidden gem stone in her daughter's mouth to calm the soul, and has been looking for a way to bring her daughter back to her soul these years. If you want to take out the stone of latent hero, her daughter will definitely lose her soul."
This is troublesome...
Zhou Tong frowned.
There are many possibilities for the lack of the main soul, the most common one is the frightened soul, most people who become demented and foolish after being frightened are due to this reason, and there are other possibilities that they were hooked away.
The main soul is the root of the soul, it is in charge of people's emotions, and it integrates the essence of other souls, so many people will naturally covet it.
Zhou Tong asked, "Can you take me to have a look?"
"Of course you can." Duanmuqiu said, "I wanted to invite you to show her daughter."
Zhou Tong said with a smile: "Then... it's not too late?"
Duanmu Qiubai glanced at Zhou Tong: "Why are you in such a hurry?"
"It just so happens that I invite Aunt Qiu to have dinner after watching it."
"I won't go with you." Duanmuqiu said, "I have something to do later, so I'll give you my business card, and if you go to her with this business card, she will know that you are the one I called. .”
"Okay." Zhou Tong took the exquisite gold card, "Thank you, Aunt Qiu."
"Silly boy, why don't you thank me, if it's cured, I should thank you." Duanmuqiu said, "It's getting late, I'm leaving, I'll come back to you sometime and have a good time."
"Aunt Qiu, go slowly."
After seeing off Duanmuqiu, Zhou Tong packed up his things a little and went out.
The other party lived in a small high-rise in the city center and had to swipe the key card to enter and exit. Zhou Tong asked the security guard to swipe the key card to the door of the other party's house. After knocking on the door, a lady opened the door.
She looked at Zhou Tong suspiciously and asked, "Who are you?"
Zhou Tong said: "Aunt Qiu asked me to come." He handed the card to the other party. The lady took the card and checked it carefully. She felt relieved. She looked at Zhou Tong and said, "You are Zhou Tong, right? I I heard Xiaoqiu mentioned you, come and sit in the room."
Zhou Tong took off his shoes and entered the house, and walked in.
This small high-rise is about 01 square meters, the living room is spacious, and there is a long and deep corridor inside. Zhou Tong glanced at it. Feng Shui is not very good, but it is not too bad.
Sun Meiping led Zhou Tong into the house and introduced the situation to him: "Xiaorui has been in a coma for almost ten years. During this period, nearly a hundred warlocks were found, the talisman water was drunk, and the talisman paper was pasted. The incense sticks all day long. Burning, I have worshiped gods and Buddhas all over the country, but there is no improvement at all, even Xiaoqiu can't help it, alas..."
"Ms. Sun, don't worry, I'll take a look first." Zhou Tong comforted.
Sun Meiping nodded with a tired look on her face, and she pressed her throbbing temples. She hasn't slept well for ten years since her daughter passed out, and she feels that her life is coming to an end soon.
There was a girl lying on the bed, her soft body was buried under the quilt, her exposed face looked thin, her cheeks were sunken, her complexion was dark, and her whole face was full of lifelessness.
Zhou Tong checked her breathing, it was too calm and lifeless.
The qi around the girl's body was also lifeless, it wasn't yin qi but it didn't have any energy at all.After Zhou Tong looked around, his eyes stayed on the girl's arm, and he asked, "Can I see her wrist?"
"Yes." Sun Meiping was full of anticipation when something strange happened. She opened a corner of the quilt, dragged the girl's wrist out, and placed it in front of Zhou Tong. Zhou Tong took a closer look and found a small tooth mark there. .
"It's a sign." Zhou Tong said, "Did she meet any strange people when she was a child?"
"Strange person?" Sun Meiping has no memory at all. Her daughter passed out ten years ago. Who remembers what happened ten years ago...
"This is the mark left by the wandering ghost." Seeing Sun Meiping's expression, Zhou Tong knew that she couldn't remember anything, and explained, "The wandering ghost is a kind of ghost that wanders in the world. This kind of ghost is not threatening, but likes To make pranks, the target is those children who are not familiar with the world. They will appear in front of the children in the appearance of normal people, seduce them with toys, and when the children are very happy, they will suddenly turn into ferocious ghosts and scare their main souls , and then they will lead the main soul who has no self-awareness to play around until they get tired and change to another target."
"Then what should we do?" Hearing this, Sun Meiping grabbed Zhou Tong's sleeve as if grabbing a life-saving straw.
Zhou Tong said: "If the soul was just lost, it's okay, you can use your body to retrieve it, but now it's been ten years, and it's hard to find it."
Sun Meiping showed a look of despair, and Zhou Tong comforted her: "But she still has signs of life, which proves that the main soul has not dissipated, just find a way to let that soul come back."
"Please, save my daughter." Sun Meiping begged.
Zhou Tong said, "Let me try."
The girl's soul has only one main soul scattered, and it is very fragile after being separated from the body for so many years. It is difficult to sense the call of the soul-returning incense and the lotus lamp. Zhou Tong is even more worried that the two are too powerful to directly shake the girl's soul. scattered.
He hesitated for a while, and summoned Sun Meiping's soul in a normal way.
It turned out to be useless.
He had thought of this result a long time ago. It is impossible for Duanmuqiu not to try such a simple method.Zhou Tong didn't dare to use the magic weapon in his hand rashly. Originally, the Qianying Stone was a very good magic weapon and gentle, but it had already been put into the girl's mouth. Once it was taken out, the other souls would all disperse. There is no main soul for ten years, and even Zhou Tong won't be able to keep the rest of the souls if they are scattered.
After thinking about it, Zhou Tong had no choice but to say: "The time is not right, I'll go back and prepare and help you."
Sun Meiping firmly grabbed Zhou Tong's sleeve and said, "I beg the Celestial Master to save her, it doesn't matter if I go bankrupt..."
"What do I want you to go bankrupt for?" Zhou Tong smiled helplessly, "But if I rescue her by chance, I would like to borrow your Latent Stone."
Sun Meiping hurriedly nodded in agreement: "What the Heavenly Master says is what it is."
Zhou Tong comforted Sun Meiping a few more words and went out.
He had to go back and study how he could recall the main soul that had been separated for more than ten years without harming the girl's soul... Zhou Tong had a headache, and felt that the difficulty was not much easier than summoning Zhou Da's soul.
Ling Yuan has nothing to do, the main reason is that the girl's main soul is too fragile to withstand the slightest storm, and if she accidentally scattered her soul, it would be self-defeating, and that would be a loss of merit.
***
In the elevator downstairs, two girls who had just finished school shared a pair of earphones, their faces were flushed, and they were listening to something excitedly. One of the girls said: "This is this paragraph, this paragraph is so good! As soon as he made his debut I thought he must be popular, you see, how good the response was after the song came out!"
"It's so good! Sound Su is crying!" Another girl also said excitedly, "He is also good-looking. How old is he? Is he 15 years old?"
"16 years old!" The girl said with a sign of six, "As old as us, he is going to be a big star."
"Qiu Xiaohun is really amazing!"
Qiu Xiaohun?Looks like it's another star he doesn't know...
As soon as Zhou Tong stepped out of the elevator, he saw a poster pasted on the advertising column opposite the elevator door.
The newly popular idol singer "Qiu Xiaohun" performed with his soul - "Let's Go Empty".
The poster design style is mysterious, coupled with Qiu Xiaohun's focused expression while singing with his eyes closed, the whole reveals an eye-catching air of inspiration.Zhou Tong took a few more glances, and the young boy in the photo was indeed good-looking.
He stepped out of the elevator and walked out onto the street.
It's not easy to take a taxi in the city center, especially during the rush hour after [-] o'clock in the evening, taking a taxi is slower than walking, so Zhou Tong simply walked along the bustling commercial street all the way to the subway station.
Suddenly, a melodious singing came, and the further he walked, the clearer the singing became. Zhou Tong walked over and saw that there was someone standing in the middle of the road holding a guitar and singing.
He was wearing unremarkable short-sleeved shorts, big sunglasses, and his hair was covered by an inverted peaked cap, which almost covered his entire face.
He was singing a classic European and American song. This song once made a singer an instant hit. There was something special in his gentle and crisp voice that was clearly juvenile.
Zhou Tong's footsteps stopped.
This is the most prosperous area in City A, and there are countless people coming and going. Throughout the year, even during the Chinese New Year holidays, there are many people selling in the vicinity here, singing, playing and singing. No matter how good his performance is, Zhou Tong never stops Down.
But now, he stopped in front of the boy.
Not because the boy sang well, but because, besides humans, the boy's singing attracted other things.
Like... ghosts.
Those souls were all attracted by the singing of the young Qingyue, and they approached the crowd step by step. Fortunately, they were all souls with no malicious intentions, they just wanted to listen to the song.
Zhou Tong glanced around, and finally set his eyes on the young man, a thought popped up in his mind.
This young man's singing voice is very special, reminding him of the charming merman. I don't know if his singing voice can summon the girl's soul... I feel like I can give it a try?
Thinking of this, Zhou Tong decided to strike up a conversation.
For the first time in my life, I was a little nervous.
The boy sang a song and didn't continue. He put the guitar on his back and didn't mean to ask for money, so he turned and left.
Zhou Tong still wanted to talk to him, but the young man was walking fast and the crowd was crowded, so Zhou Tong could only follow behind him.
Until the boy turned into an alley, put down the guitar, and took out a bottle of water from his backpack to drink.
Just as Zhou Tong was about to step forward, he saw the young man taking off his sunglasses, revealing a familiar face.
"Qiu Xiaohun...?" This name just appeared 10 minutes ago, but Zhou Tong did not forget it. He was a little surprised. On the commercial street, can the brokerage company allow it?But these are not important, just a flash of gossip, what he cares about is that it may be easy to say what ordinary people say, but if it is a big star, it may be difficult for him to sing to that girl.
Just as Zhou Tong was thinking, Qiu Xiaohun, who was drinking water, seemed to see something, he turned his head to look not far away, picked up the guitar again and walked in that direction step by step.
Zhou Tong hurriedly followed.
Ling Yuan complained: "Do you feel like a wretched stalker?"
"I don't want to either, it's just that I don't have a good time to talk." Zhou Tong smiled, looking for a chance to talk to Qiu Xiaohun.
As the sun set, Qiu Xiaohun's figure was stretched very long in the alley.
Qiu Xiaohun stopped at an intersection, put down his guitar bag, took out the guitar from it and hung it around his neck, plucked the strings and tuned it, and began to sing.
This time he sang a nursery rhyme.
The red dragonfly in the sunset
please tell me
met you in childhood
what day was that
Take the little basket and come to the mountain
Mulberry trees are green
Picked mulberries and put them into small baskets
Is it dream shadow
The red dragonfly in the sunset
where are you
rest on the tip of the bamboo pole
It's the red dragonfly
This nursery rhyme was sung gently and gently by his brisk voice, as lingering as the wind passing through the alley at this moment.
Standing at the crossroads, Qiu Xiaohun seemed to be immersed in the singing, with his eyes closed, his slender fingers strummed the guitar, his lips opened and closed, and he sang this nursery rhyme to his heart's content.
Zhou Tong didn't realize he was immersed in his singing.
In the brazier at the side, the unfinished paper money was blown out by the evening wind, and the moment the gray paper ash floated past Qiu Xiaohun, his figure became very illusory.
At that moment, the air twisted rapidly, with Qiu Xiaohun as the center, it seemed that the space had changed, and the next moment, Qiu Xiaohun was sucked in by the mysterious force.
Zhou Tong hurriedly rushed over, but couldn't hold Qiu Xiaohun, and was pulled in by that force.
After landing, there is an empty space around, and you can't see the edge in all directions.
"It's such a headache..." Zhou Tong said, "This person's songs are too tempting, I'm too busy listening to them." Looking at the time on his phone, Zhou Tong said, "The crossroads divide Yin and Yang again." At dusk, his singing still attracts ghosts."
Looking around, Zhou Tong said, "I'm afraid we were pulled into the space he created by something."
After they disappeared, the passers-by saw the unburned clothes in the brazier and said, "A child was hit by a car on this road yesterday. It's so pitiful."
On the main road, there was no sign of Zhou Tong or Qiu Xiaohun.
As soon as he answered the phone, Duan Zheng asked nervously on the other end of the phone: "Xiaotong? Are you okay? I was scared to death. It's almost eleven o'clock. You haven't replied to my text message. It's not normal."
Zhou Tong was stunned all of a sudden: "What time?"
"Eleven o'clock." Zhengzheng said.
Zhou Tong turned his head to look at the wall clock, and it was almost eleven o'clock. He leaned against the head of the bed, a little surprised: "I actually slept so late..."
"Sleep?" Duanzheng understood, "This is terrible, it's the first time I saw you sleep so late! Why did you go last night? Didn't you go happy?"
Zhou Tong: "..."
It's not accurate to say it's happy, but it's really happy to say it's not happy. He really can't answer this question.
Zhengzheng made two hey hey, just about to tease, someone over there urged him to do something serious, and Zhengzheng hurriedly said: "I have sent all the information you want to check to your mailbox. Zhao Jingshan has always been quite mysterious, and he didn't find much. You Let’s just make do with it, and if I have other information, I’ll supply it to you!”
Zhou Tong: "Well, thank you."
"Let's say thank you, I still have things to do, so I'll hang up first, see you later."
"Goodbye."
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Tong went to wash his face and brush his teeth, and cooked some noodles for brunch. Thinking of the dream last night, he couldn't get rid of his good mood.

After thinking about it, Zhou Tong temporarily put Zhao Jingshan's materials into the folder, and waited to see if he could send him other materials in the later stage.
What he cares more about now is how to summon Zhou Da's soul.
Zhou Tong supported his head with one hand, simulated the formation on the table depressedly, and muttered: "The lotus lantern, soul-calling incense, Yin water, my father's clothes... these things are not enough to call his soul.

Duanmuqiu walked into the room, holding a small box in her hand. She handed the small box to Zhou Tong and said, "Auntie Qiu got some good things for you. I just asked Qi Qing for your address."
"Aunt Qiu said, I'll pick it up from you, and you don't need to bring it over."
"I've always been curious about your store, so it's time to come and have a look." Duanmuqiu looked around, touched Yu Ruyi with a satisfied expression, "The feng shui in your store is indeed good, look at these jades, each one She looks juicy."

"Your dad?" Duanmuqiu was stunned, "Isn't your dad Zhou Da? Didn't he die when you were seven or eight years old? It's been almost 20 years, and you can still recruit him?"
"Yes." Zhou Tong nodded, "But I still want to try."
Duanmuqiu glanced at the Returning Soul Incense on the table, after opening it, a small piece was dug out, obviously used, she put the lid back on and asked: "The Returning Soul Incense is useless? Have you already entered reincarnation?"
"Probably not." Zhou Tong said, "There was a response, but they couldn't be summoned. I think, the soul-returning incense is not enough."
"Isn't the soul-returning incense enough?" Duanmuqiu looked at Zhou Tong in surprise, as if he had misheard and couldn't believe it, "If the soul-returning incense is not enough, then I really don't know what else can give him invite."

Duan Muqiu saw Zhou Tong's thoughts and said, "Xiao Tong, you don't know about this. This matter is true. What Wang Jia wrote is true. Dong Zhongshu really has this stone of latent talent." , and I happen to know the whereabouts of this gemstone."
"Aunt Qiu?" Zhou Tong looked at Duanmu Qiu in surprise after hearing this.
But Duanmuqiu said: "However, there will be some problems when you use it." Duanmuqiu sighed and explained, "The Stone of Qianying is in the hands of one of my customers. Her daughter got a strange disease when she was seven years old. I don't know where I went, the other souls will disperse without the main soul, so she put the hidden gem stone in her daughter's mouth to calm the soul, and has been looking for a way to bring her daughter back to her soul these years. If you want to take out the stone of latent hero, her daughter will definitely lose her soul."
This is troublesome...
Zhou Tong frowned.
There are many possibilities for the lack of the main soul, the most common one is the frightened soul, most people who become demented and foolish after being frightened are due to this reason, and there are other possibilities that they were hooked away.
The main soul is the root of the soul, it is in charge of people's emotions, and it integrates the essence of other souls, so many people will naturally covet it.
Zhou Tong asked, "Can you take me to have a look?"
"Of course you can." Duanmuqiu said, "I wanted to invite you to show her daughter."
Zhou Tong said with a smile: "Then... it's not too late?"
Duanmu Qiubai glanced at Zhou Tong: "Why are you in such a hurry?"
"It just so happens that I invite Aunt Qiu to have dinner after watching it."
"I won't go with you." Duanmuqiu said, "I have something to do later, so I'll give you my business card, and if you go to her with this business card, she will know that you are the one I called. .”
"Okay." Zhou Tong took the exquisite gold card, "Thank you, Aunt Qiu."
"Silly boy, why don't you thank me, if it's cured, I should thank you." Duanmuqiu said, "It's getting late, I'm leaving, I'll come back to you sometime and have a good time."
"Aunt Qiu, go slowly."
After seeing off Duanmuqiu, Zhou Tong packed up his things a little and went out.
The other party lived in a small high-rise in the city center and had to swipe the key card to enter and exit. Zhou Tong asked the security guard to swipe the key card to the door of the other party's house. After knocking on the door, a lady opened the door.
She looked at Zhou Tong suspiciously and asked, "Who are you?"
Zhou Tong said: "Aunt Qiu asked me to come." He handed the card to the other party. The lady took the card and checked it carefully. She felt relieved. She looked at Zhou Tong and said, "You are Zhou Tong, right? I I heard Xiaoqiu mentioned you, come and sit in the room."
Zhou Tong took off his shoes and entered the house, and walked in.
This small high-rise is about 01 square meters, the living room is spacious, and there is a long and deep corridor inside. Zhou Tong glanced at it. Feng Shui is not very good, but it is not too bad.
Sun Meiping led Zhou Tong into the house and introduced the situation to him: "Xiaorui has been in a coma for almost ten years. During this period, nearly a hundred warlocks were found, the talisman water was drunk, and the talisman paper was pasted. The incense sticks all day long. Burning, I have worshiped gods and Buddhas all over the country, but there is no improvement at all, even Xiaoqiu can't help it, alas..."
"Ms. Sun, don't worry, I'll take a look first." Zhou Tong comforted.
Sun Meiping nodded with a tired look on her face, and she pressed her throbbing temples. She hasn't slept well for ten years since her daughter passed out, and she feels that her life is coming to an end soon.
There was a girl lying on the bed, her soft body was buried under the quilt, her exposed face looked thin, her cheeks were sunken, her complexion was dark, and her whole face was full of lifelessness.
Zhou Tong checked her breathing, it was too calm and lifeless.
The qi around the girl's body was also lifeless, it wasn't yin qi but it didn't have any energy at all.After Zhou Tong looked around, his eyes stayed on the girl's arm, and he asked, "Can I see her wrist?"
"Yes." Sun Meiping was full of anticipation when something strange happened. She opened a corner of the quilt, dragged the girl's wrist out, and placed it in front of Zhou Tong. Zhou Tong took a closer look and found a small tooth mark there. .
"It's a sign." Zhou Tong said, "Did she meet any strange people when she was a child?"
"Strange person?" Sun Meiping has no memory at all. Her daughter passed out ten years ago. Who remembers what happened ten years ago...
"This is the mark left by the wandering ghost." Seeing Sun Meiping's expression, Zhou Tong knew that she couldn't remember anything, and explained, "The wandering ghost is a kind of ghost that wanders in the world. This kind of ghost is not threatening, but likes To make pranks, the target is those children who are not familiar with the world. They will appear in front of the children in the appearance of normal people, seduce them with toys, and when the children are very happy, they will suddenly turn into ferocious ghosts and scare their main souls , and then they will lead the main soul who has no self-awareness to play around until they get tired and change to another target."
"Then what should we do?" Hearing this, Sun Meiping grabbed Zhou Tong's sleeve as if grabbing a life-saving straw.
Zhou Tong said: "If the soul was just lost, it's okay, you can use your body to retrieve it, but now it's been ten years, and it's hard to find it."
Sun Meiping showed a look of despair, and Zhou Tong comforted her: "But she still has signs of life, which proves that the main soul has not dissipated, just find a way to let that soul come back."
"Please, save my daughter." Sun Meiping begged.
Zhou Tong said, "Let me try."
The girl's soul has only one main soul scattered, and it is very fragile after being separated from the body for so many years. It is difficult to sense the call of the soul-returning incense and the lotus lamp. Zhou Tong is even more worried that the two are too powerful to directly shake the girl's soul. scattered.
He hesitated for a while, and summoned Sun Meiping's soul in a normal way.
It turned out to be useless.
He had thought of this result a long time ago. It is impossible for Duanmuqiu not to try such a simple method.Zhou Tong didn't dare to use the magic weapon in his hand rashly. Originally, the Qianying Stone was a very good magic weapon and gentle, but it had already been put into the girl's mouth. Once it was taken out, the other souls would all disperse. There is no main soul for ten years, and even Zhou Tong won't be able to keep the rest of the souls if they are scattered.
After thinking about it, Zhou Tong had no choice but to say: "The time is not right, I'll go back and prepare and help you."
Sun Meiping firmly grabbed Zhou Tong's sleeve and said, "I beg the Celestial Master to save her, it doesn't matter if I go bankrupt..."
"What do I want you to go bankrupt for?" Zhou Tong smiled helplessly, "But if I rescue her by chance, I would like to borrow your Latent Stone."
Sun Meiping hurriedly nodded in agreement: "What the Heavenly Master says is what it is."
Zhou Tong comforted Sun Meiping a few more words and went out.
He had to go back and study how he could recall the main soul that had been separated for more than ten years without harming the girl's soul... Zhou Tong had a headache, and felt that the difficulty was not much easier than summoning Zhou Da's soul.
Ling Yuan has nothing to do, the main reason is that the girl's main soul is too fragile to withstand the slightest storm, and if she accidentally scattered her soul, it would be self-defeating, and that would be a loss of merit.
***
In the elevator downstairs, two girls who had just finished school shared a pair of earphones, their faces were flushed, and they were listening to something excitedly. One of the girls said: "This is this paragraph, this paragraph is so good! As soon as he made his debut I thought he must be popular, you see, how good the response was after the song came out!"
"It's so good! Sound Su is crying!" Another girl also said excitedly, "He is also good-looking. How old is he? Is he 15 years old?"
"16 years old!" The girl said with a sign of six, "As old as us, he is going to be a big star."
"Qiu Xiaohun is really amazing!"
Qiu Xiaohun?Looks like it's another star he doesn't know...
As soon as Zhou Tong stepped out of the elevator, he saw a poster pasted on the advertising column opposite the elevator door.
The newly popular idol singer "Qiu Xiaohun" performed with his soul - "Let's Go Empty".
The poster design style is mysterious, coupled with Qiu Xiaohun's focused expression while singing with his eyes closed, the whole reveals an eye-catching air of inspiration.Zhou Tong took a few more glances, and the young boy in the photo was indeed good-looking.
He stepped out of the elevator and walked out onto the street.
It's not easy to take a taxi in the city center, especially during the rush hour after [-] o'clock in the evening, taking a taxi is slower than walking, so Zhou Tong simply walked along the bustling commercial street all the way to the subway station.
Suddenly, a melodious singing came, and the further he walked, the clearer the singing became. Zhou Tong walked over and saw that there was someone standing in the middle of the road holding a guitar and singing.
He was wearing unremarkable short-sleeved shorts, big sunglasses, and his hair was covered by an inverted peaked cap, which almost covered his entire face.
He was singing a classic European and American song. This song once made a singer an instant hit. There was something special in his gentle and crisp voice that was clearly juvenile.
Zhou Tong's footsteps stopped.
This is the most prosperous area in City A, and there are countless people coming and going. Throughout the year, even during the Chinese New Year holidays, there are many people selling in the vicinity here, singing, playing and singing. No matter how good his performance is, Zhou Tong never stops Down.
But now, he stopped in front of the boy.
Not because the boy sang well, but because, besides humans, the boy's singing attracted other things.
Like... ghosts.
Those souls were all attracted by the singing of the young Qingyue, and they approached the crowd step by step. Fortunately, they were all souls with no malicious intentions, they just wanted to listen to the song.
Zhou Tong glanced around, and finally set his eyes on the young man, a thought popped up in his mind.
This young man's singing voice is very special, reminding him of the charming merman. I don't know if his singing voice can summon the girl's soul... I feel like I can give it a try?
Thinking of this, Zhou Tong decided to strike up a conversation.
For the first time in my life, I was a little nervous.
The boy sang a song and didn't continue. He put the guitar on his back and didn't mean to ask for money, so he turned and left.
Zhou Tong still wanted to talk to him, but the young man was walking fast and the crowd was crowded, so Zhou Tong could only follow behind him.
Until the boy turned into an alley, put down the guitar, and took out a bottle of water from his backpack to drink.
Just as Zhou Tong was about to step forward, he saw the young man taking off his sunglasses, revealing a familiar face.
"Qiu Xiaohun...?" This name just appeared 10 minutes ago, but Zhou Tong did not forget it. He was a little surprised. On the commercial street, can the brokerage company allow it?But these are not important, just a flash of gossip, what he cares about is that it may be easy to say what ordinary people say, but if it is a big star, it may be difficult for him to sing to that girl.
Just as Zhou Tong was thinking, Qiu Xiaohun, who was drinking water, seemed to see something, he turned his head to look not far away, picked up the guitar again and walked in that direction step by step.
Zhou Tong hurriedly followed.
Ling Yuan complained: "Do you feel like a wretched stalker?"
"I don't want to either, it's just that I don't have a good time to talk." Zhou Tong smiled, looking for a chance to talk to Qiu Xiaohun.
As the sun set, Qiu Xiaohun's figure was stretched very long in the alley.
Qiu Xiaohun stopped at an intersection, put down his guitar bag, took out the guitar from it and hung it around his neck, plucked the strings and tuned it, and began to sing.
This time he sang a nursery rhyme.
The red dragonfly in the sunset
please tell me
met you in childhood
what day was that
Take the little basket and come to the mountain
Mulberry trees are green
Picked mulberries and put them into small baskets
Is it dream shadow
The red dragonfly in the sunset
where are you
rest on the tip of the bamboo pole
It's the red dragonfly
This nursery rhyme was sung gently and gently by his brisk voice, as lingering as the wind passing through the alley at this moment.
Standing at the crossroads, Qiu Xiaohun seemed to be immersed in the singing, with his eyes closed, his slender fingers strummed the guitar, his lips opened and closed, and he sang this nursery rhyme to his heart's content.
Zhou Tong didn't realize he was immersed in his singing.
In the brazier at the side, the unfinished paper money was blown out by the evening wind, and the moment the gray paper ash floated past Qiu Xiaohun, his figure became very illusory.
At that moment, the air twisted rapidly, with Qiu Xiaohun as the center, it seemed that the space had changed, and the next moment, Qiu Xiaohun was sucked in by the mysterious force.
Zhou Tong hurriedly rushed over, but couldn't hold Qiu Xiaohun, and was pulled in by that force.
After landing, there is an empty space around, and you can't see the edge in all directions.
"It's such a headache..." Zhou Tong said, "This person's songs are too tempting, I'm too busy listening to them." Looking at the time on his phone, Zhou Tong said, "The crossroads divide Yin and Yang again." At dusk, his singing still attracts ghosts."
Looking around, Zhou Tong said, "I'm afraid we were pulled into the space he created by something."
After they disappeared, the passers-by saw the unburned clothes in the brazier and said, "A child was hit by a car on this road yesterday. It's so pitiful."
On the main road, there was no sign of Zhou Tong or Qiu Xiaohun.
