First-class Celestial Master [Rebirth]

Early the next morning, Zhou Tong took a taxi to Changjie.

Changjie is the name of the old city people. Just like the old street, the reason why Changjie is called Changjie is not because of its length, but because of its long history. first street.

The city museum is located on the long street, and the number one university in the city, which is the university that Zhou Tong studied at the beginning, is also on the long street.

There are three roads in the long street, centered on the monument mentioned by Nvdixian, extending in three directions. Tian Xiaozhen's studio is in the northwest direction, one bus stop away from the monument.

Zhou Tong went to the monument first.

This monument was built in the early 60s. It has been in the wind and rain for more than [-] years. It has appeared in many historical movies. There are countless photos about it all over the world. It is symbolic for City A. Many foreigners come to A City for tourism Often the first stop is the monument.This monument has witnessed the development of the people of City A in the new era, and has brought together many people's beautiful longings.

Zhou Tong still remembered that when they were freshmen, Teacher Sixiu specially organized them to listen to a piece of old revolutionary history under the monument, which was very impressive.

When Zhou Tong went, there were still many people taking pictures beside the monument. In order to protect the monument, a cordon was pulled around the periphery.Zhou Tong walked to the cordon and looked at the stele.

The stele has gone through wind and rain, and there are many traces on the stele. Zhou Tong looked around, and sure enough, he found the string of words that the female earth fairy said under the stele.

Ling Yuan narrowed his eyes and said, "Isn't this Sanskrit?"

Zhou Tong nodded and said, "It's really not, it's in Tibetan."

"Tibetan?" Ling Yuan raised his eyebrows and asked, "What is written?"

Zhou Tong said: "...It's a little difficult to translate, I only know a little Tibetan." After carefully identifying it for a while, he said, "I can't translate it, but I can probably understand the meaning. It should be 'My heart will never die, my body will last forever. 'the meaning of."

"Pray?"

"It's possible." Zhou Tong attached his palm to the Tibetan script, feeling a little hot in his palm, he took it back and said, "I can't get rid of it, let's go and see what's going on with Tian Xiaozhen first."

Ling Yuan was somewhat reluctant: "Oh."

Tian Xiaozhen had been waiting for Zhou Tong and the others at the door for a long time. Seeing Zhou Tong coming, she trotted all the way there, dragged Zhou Tong inside and said, "Brother, you are finally here. I hope you have been looking forward to this morning."

Zhou Tong smiled: "Why are you so impatient?"

"Hey, isn't this a kind of joy that is about to be done?!"

"Poor mouth."

Tian Xiaozhen brought Zhou Tong into the room all the way. There was also a tall and thin boy in the room. He wore a pair of black-rimmed glasses and looked very refined, like a scholar.

Tian Xiaozhen introduced to Zhou Tong: "This is my fellow student, who followed the boss in the first period, Gao Xu, this is my senior brother, Zhou Tong."

"Hello." Gao Xu spoke steadily, not like Tian Xiaozhen. After Zhou Tong said goodbye to him, he heard Tian Xiaozhen say: "Originally, the antiquities here should not be given to people in the 'society' casually." See, but I secretly told the boss you were coming, and he 'forgot' the key with me."

Tian Xiaozhen took out a small bunch of keys from her pocket, and said triumphantly, "There are gloves over there, and I prepared new ones for you, brother, just wear them."

With a soft click, Tian Xiaozhen opened the safe and took out the cultural relics inside. Tian Xiaozhen changed her previous impetuous style, her eyes were serious, and she carefully took out the long-handled bronze mirror and put it in front of Zhou Tong, "Look, senior brother. "

Zhou Tong put on his gloves, looked at the mirror carefully, and finally fixed his eyes on the groove on the handle. Tian Xiaozhen said: "This is the place, we can't mend it no matter how much we do. Whenever we think the work is finished When we went to see it the next day, the bronze there would automatically crack, and we had to start all over again, but it happened three or five times.”

Gao Xu added: "The fragments were so badly shattered that they were almost smashed to pieces, as if they had been dropped from a high place, but this cultural relic has been kept in a safe, so it is unlikely to be damaged."

"Yeah." Zhou Tong nodded and said, "It's the same as what I saw yesterday, there was a groove here." He paused here, and looked back at Gao Xu.

Tian Xiaozhen followed Zhou Tong's gaze to see Gao Xu, and said, "Brother, don't worry about him, he understands."

Zhou Tong then continued: "There is aura left over here, and there is a strong rejection of foreign things."

"Spiritual Qi?" Gao Xu pushed his glasses and said incredulously, "How to prove it?"

Zhou Tong looked behind Gao Xu, there was a thin down jacket wrapped in a plastic bag, Zhou Tong said, "Lend me the clothes?"

Gao Xu was taken aback, unable to understand what Zhou Tong was doing, he nodded, took the clothes and handed them to Zhou Tong: "Please."

Zhou Tong took the collar out of the plastic bag, pulled out two feathers, stuffed the clothes back, and put them back in place.

Gao Xu watched Zhou Tong's movements nervously, his eyes under the glasses did not blink, Zhou Tong put the feather in the groove, the feather that should have fallen slowly floated up, Gao Xu's eyes widened, Looking at this scene in disbelief.

Seeing this, Tian Xiaozhen rolled her eyes at Gao Xu and said, "You still don't believe it?"

Gao Xu looked at Yu without saying a word, always feeling that Zhou Tong had done something.

The next moment, the fluttering feather suddenly cracked, as if being caged by an extremely dense net, it shattered into slag bit by bit.

Gao Xu was speechless this time.

He looked at the feather crumbs that fell on the table, dumbfounded, and his mind was full of unscientific, unscientific, unscientific...

Zhou Tong put the mirror back to its original position, and said, "In this situation, we must either give up and continue repairing it, or find a gemstone magic weapon with equal spiritual power to inlay it on it."

"Zhou Tong." Ling Yuan suddenly stopped Zhou Tong, "Look at the back of the mirror."

Zhou Tong stopped taking off the gloves, and put them back on again. He turned the mirror over, and a starlight flickered on a corner of the handle, where a string of words was written dimly.

Zhou Tong asked, "Is there a magnifying glass?"

"Yes." Tian Xiaozhen handed over the magnifying glass and said, "Where is there text, brother?"

"En." Zhou Tong asked for a pen and paper again, holding a magnifying glass in one hand to read the text carefully, and transcribing a string of text on the paper with the other hand.

Tian Xiaozhen looked at the words written on the paper by Zhou Tong, and turned to Gao Xu, "Did this Tibetan sentence exist before?"

"No." Gao Xu said with certainty, "I have read it carefully with the teacher, and there is no text on it."

"Then this text..." Tian Xiaozhen looked at Zhou Tong suspiciously, with a puzzled expression on her face, "Senior brother, what's going on?"

"Covered by Qi." Zhou Tong focused on comparing the mirror with the words on the paper, and finally said: "My heart will never die, my body will last forever..."

"What a cult." Tian Xiaozhen muttered in a low voice.

The writing on the mirror is exactly the same as the writing on the stele.

Zhou Tong lowered his eyes and said to Ling Yuan, "What do you think?"

Ling Yuan said: "The stele is newly engraved."

"Yeah..." Zhou Tong turned around and asked Tian Xiaozhen, "Has anyone else touched this mirror except us and the teacher?"

"No, no..." Tian Xiaozhen recalled carefully for a moment, then suddenly remembered, "Yes, yes, there is a teacher!"

"Which teacher?" Before Zhou Tong could ask, Gao Xu asked.

Tian Xiaozhen showed doubts on her face. She looked at Zhou Tong blankly, but there was a figure in her mind but she couldn't remember it. Zhou Tong looked helplessly and asked, "Do you remember which day it was?"

"Which day..." Tian Xiaozhen seriously lowered her head to think, pushed back her memory, and finally said vaguely, "It seems to be around two or three o'clock in the afternoon last Wednesday. I took a nap in the studio, and when I woke up, I saw that Teacher."

Gao Xu showed his mobile phone in front of Tian Xiaozhen, "Look, these are some teachers from our school. Those who can come here are deleted. Which teacher came that day."

Tian Xiaozhen took the mobile phone, as if she had lost her memory, she swiped carefully little by little, she paused her fingers, suddenly remembered, and said, "It's this teacher!"

Gao Xu poked his head over, looked at the position of Tian Xiaozhen's finger, and said in a deep voice, "It's Teacher Wu, he passed away last month."

Tian Xiaozhen: "..."

Seeing Gao Xu's suspicious eyes, Tian Xiaozhen looked wronged, and she said: "Brother! Believe me, it's really Teacher Wu."

"Okay." There are many possibilities, and Zhou Tong didn't dare to draw a conclusion directly. He asked Tian Xiaozhen, "Then what did this teacher do after he came that day?"

"I didn't do anything..." Tian Xiaozhen recalled, "He came for a few minutes and then left."

"A few minutes?" Gao Xu sneered, remembering something, and said, "I told you earlier that day that the teacher was in a hurry to call you and asked me to call you. I called you more than [-] times and there was no one. Pick up, you still say I'm spreading rumors, you never heard the phone ringing at all."

Unconvinced, Tian Xiaozhen took out her mobile phone and transferred it to last Wednesday. Sure enough, she saw more than [-] missed calls from Gao Xu, and she was stunned.

She was a little confused in those few days, and she almost got into a car accident. Did something really happen after the teacher came that day?But something is wrong...

Tian Xiaozhen touched the obsidian on her wrist. This obsidian is a magic weapon. If something strange happens, it should remind her.

By now, Zhou Tong probably understood what was going on.

I am afraid that it was the words on the mirror that were copied and carved on the stone tablet.

But who is it... The characters on the stele are exquisitely carved. Even a top craftsman, with the stele placed like that, would have difficulty crawling on the ground to carve such finely crafted characters on the bottom.

"Let me find a way to cover up the aura on the Tibetan text first." Zhou Tong thought for a while, and he had to do this kind of treatment first. He returned the mirror to Tian Xiaozhen, and then gave Tian Xiaozhen and Gao Xu two Liuding Liujia talismans. Tian Xiaozhen Put it away carefully, and said: "Brother, is this mirror weird?"

"Yes, but it doesn't seem to be any evil at the moment." He warned, "If anything happens again, you should contact me in time."

"En." Tian Xiaozhen also knew that she had made a mistake, and nodded seriously.

Zhou Tong returned to the stone tablet again. He squatted in front of the words, carefully looked at the aura on the words, reached out and touched the first word, and felt a burning sensation from his fingertips, which burned all the way to his heart. Tong Tong lowered his eyes and said, "There is anger in the words."

"What's the matter?"

"Vow power." Zhou Tong stood up, glanced at the crowds that were constantly flowing around, and said, "It's the power of vows for pedestrians here to make a pilgrimage."

There is an old saying: Calamity and fire cannot invade the power of will, and it stands alone like the aura of the Han Dynasty.

Vow power refers to the power of prayer.

Just like the golden statues of Buddha placed in temples and the statues of God of Wealth and Kitchen God pasted at home, the statues inherit the culture of a city and the power of prayers of the people in the city. It is also necessary to be able to gather the power of prayer.

"This is tricky..." Zhou Tong sighed and said, "If you destroy it without authorization, it's like smashing the statue in the temple. Offending the monk is a trivial matter, but angering the believers is a major matter."

He had a terrible headache and frowned in embarrassment.

At this moment, a strange breath suddenly came from behind.

Zhou Tong swept across the crowd and immediately aimed at the target.

The woman was wearing a windbreaker, standing at the corner of the street, carrying a handbag, and was waiting for the traffic light to cross the road. She looked no different from ordinary passers-by, but she exuded a kind of evil spirit, which made her incompatible with the people around her.

Zhou Tong pretended to be a tourist here and wandered casually around the stele. Not long after, the woman came near the stele.

She looked up at the tall stone tablet, the corners of her mouth slightly curled up, and then circled around to the back of the stone tablet, as if reading an introduction.

Zhou Tong walked up to her and said, "This stone monument was built in [-] to commemorate the great martyrs who guarded City A in the XX Battle. Now it is a famous architectural landscape, and tens of thousands of people come to visit the monument every New Year's Eve." A New Year's Eve. For the people of City A, many people are used to praying under the stele, whether it is praying for the health of their families or success in their careers, they always feel that those martyrs who have guarded the city will hear their voices."

The woman's body froze, her expression was covered by the big sunglasses, she forced a smile at Zhou Tong, but said nothing.

Zhou Tong smiled at her and said, "It seems that I have never taken a photo here, would you help me?"

The woman was taken aback, then nodded nervously, she stretched out her hand, and Zhou Tong put the phone in her hand.

Zhou Tong stood under the stone tablet, smiling slightly and looking at the camera, Ling Yuan walked over calmly and stood beside Zhou Tong, with a calm and expressionless face.

Zhou Tong: "What are you doing?"

Ling Yuan ignored it, still looking at the camera indifferently.

The woman picked up the phone stiffly, and it didn't work for a long time. Zhou Tong asked, "Miss, what's wrong?"

The woman remained silent and fiddled with it for a while, and finally fixed it. She raised the camera and gestured to Zhou Tong.

Zhou Tong looked over the camera and looked at the woman steadily.

The woman hurriedly finished taking photos, returned the phone to Zhou Tong, then looked around, and left in a hurry.

Zhou Tong looked at her back and said with a smile, "A kitten."

"Too many people." Ling Yuan said, "Let's go."

"En." Zhou Tong nodded.

The two followed the woman not far or near. The woman walked through the crowd in a panic, and seemed not to notice Zhou Tong who was following them.The woman looked back at the corner and did not see Zhou Tong and the others. She felt a lot more at ease. She walked through the bustling city center and turned into a place with less traffic from a small alley. To a secluded corner.

Zhou Tong and Ling Yuan followed her calmly.

When they reached that alley, the woman stopped there.

She is undressing.

The clothes that almost covered her limbs were slowly taken off by her. After taking off, she only wore a skirt inside, and her upper body was empty.

Ling Yuan frowned slightly, and looked at Zhou Tong, only to find that Zhou Tong was staring at him without blinking.

Ling Yuan: "Hello."

Zhou Tong: "?"

Ling Yuan: "..."

After taking off her clothes, she began to bend over to take off her skirt, and the long woolen skirt that fell to the ground fell off, revealing two very thin legs.

Those two bamboo pole-like legs supported the woman's thin upper body. Her chest was almost flat, and there was no sign of protruding.

The next moment, she started peeling.

A huge hole exploded from the inside to the outside between the two chests, and a sharp thing protruded from it. The woman with her arms outstretched was like a scarecrow placed on a field, motionless, while in her chest But a hole was opened.

The pair of sharp claws slid down the hole in the chest, resting on the woman's flat abdomen, and then jumped out, a cat half the height of a person jumped out.

After the cat jumped out of the woman, the woman stood there without moving.

The cat stepped on the woman and knocked her to the ground. He dragged the woman's hair and walked all the way to the corner when he bumped into something, and the cat froze in place.

It seemed to have thought of something, and hurriedly turned its head and ran in another direction. Unexpectedly, there was also an air wall erected somewhere in that direction. In shock, it threw the body of the woman in its hand on the ground. With a cry, it rushed in all directions it could go, but in every direction there was a wall blocking it.

It slammed left and right for a long time, but it still refused to give up trying.

Zhou Tong came out from the dark. He looked at the puppet trapped in the formation and said, "I thought the puppet was extinct, but I didn't expect to see it again. Sansheng is lucky."

Omao watched all Zhou Tong's actions vigilantly with a pair of gray standing pupils, and arched its back to guard Zhou Tong closely.

Omao is a kind of cat that is very easy to cultivate into a spirit.This kind of cat has a very high IQ, and its hands are extremely dexterous. Before they became spirits, their IQ surpassed that of ordinary people. Their hands can make the most exquisite dolls in the world, and carve the most detailed patterns and characters.

Even cats who have become spirits like one thing.

Peel off the human skin in the cemetery, put it on yourself and walk among the crowd, pretending that they are ordinary humans, to learn human culture.

Because of Omao's super high IQ, it was once rounded up.

The things made by Omao, no matter good or bad, are precious magic tools. As early as more than 100 years ago, this kind of creature had disappeared and only appeared in books.

Zhou Tong was very curious when he watched the puppet's every move. That puppet's ability to adopt the appearance of a human woman proved that it had become a spirit.

But why did it steal the wish power on the stele?

The string of "My heart will never die, my body will last forever" is obviously to turn the power of prayer into a method of longevity. Is it seeking longevity?

The cat was trapped in the game, unable to move, Zhou Tong thought for a while, walked up to the cat, and was only a short distance away from the cat, "Everything has a balance, you want to live forever but you exchange other people's things, Have you ever thought about the price you will pay in the future?"

The cat bared and looked at Zhou Tong. It meowed, and the sound came to Zhou Tong's ears very clearly.

The puppet cat was a female puppet cat, and Zhou Tong heard a female voice, she said: "When you humans killed us, did you consider the price you will pay in the future?"

Zhou Tong: "..."

Omao said again: "Everything is for survival. I collect these prayers for my own reasons. Why do you meddle in your own business?"

Zhou Tong said with a smile: "Then let me answer your first question first. The orthodoxy has declined. Thousands of years ago, almost everyone could practice, but the heights are scattered and different. Now, it is possible to step into the There are very few people in the inner way, which is the price we pay for not following the human way. Moreover, because human ascetics occupy the sky, they will be restricted by five disadvantages and three shortcomings from the moment they enter the Tao. The higher the ability, the more restrictions The bigger it is, the balance."

There was a twinkle in Omao's eyes, showing signs of being moved by Zhou Tong's persuasion. She looked a little flustered, but she managed to calm it down.

Zhou Tong looked as usual, as immovable as a mountain and as stable as a rock, like an old man who preached and taught karma. He said kindly: "Then the second question, you collect other people's vows and transform them through the scriptures. The text you want, but have you considered how much people here will lose once their vows cannot be absorbed by the stone tablet. The vows to pray for the health of the family are gone, and the vows to pray for a smooth career are gone. The old man travels in the snow, hoping that everything will go well for his children and grandchildren, but he can’t hear from heaven. What you stole is not a bit of spiritual energy, but other people’s wishes. As for what’s up to me..." Zhou Tong smiled kindly and yet Gentle, with eyebrows and eyes bent, said softly, "I'm sorry, I'm a native of City A, I come here every New Year's day to pray for blessings, you stole it, but it's mine."

Omao was speechless, it couldn't hide the flustered expression anymore, so it had to change the subject, "I didn't know that the female earth fairy was sleeping under the stone tablet before, it's understandable for you to help her, but I There are also compelling reasons. If you are willing to promise me not to intervene in this matter, I can also give you a certain reward."

"Yes." Zhou Tong nodded, "Then tell me your purpose, what is the purpose of collecting so many prayers and transforming them into the power of longevity?"

Omao suddenly fell silent, she looked at the ground, her eyes were full of struggles, her claws were tightly hooked.

Zhou Tong waited quietly for her answer.

Time passed little by little, both parties were very patient, and neither of them interrupted the other's thinking, but Zhou Tong was very firm, while Omao was already wavering between confessing and not confessing.

"I transformed this nature for longevity..."

"For whose longevity?"

"Imao!" There was a scream, and Zhou Tong followed his prestige. A young man in his twenties suddenly ran over from a distance. After the cat's plight, Chong Zhoutong glared at him, "You people still want to hunt and kill even cats? Isn't it shameless?!"

Zhou Tong: "..."
