Adventures of a middle-aged uncle

Bai Xiao woke up suddenly, saw He Hao's hands on his arms, blushed and said, "Senior, what are you going to do?"

Seeing Bai Xiao woke up, He Hao breathed a sigh of relief, and complained a bit: "Next time, I can't let you guard it. If you lose it yourself, how can I explain to your parents?"

Bai Xiao was a little embarrassed, and looked at me apologetically: "I'm sorry, Brother Li. I really didn't mean to sleep, but somehow. Seeing Sister Ziyue, I was fine for the first 10 minutes, and then I was really sleepy gone."

"It's okay, Ziyue doesn't know what sorcery is in it. But it's okay for us to stay with her. Is there something on you that resonates with Ziyue, so you feel sleepy."

"I don't know, let's take Sister Ziyue to Professor Xu to have a look." Bai Xiao suggested.

"Okay, it just so happens that we are also going to find Xu Qingze." He Hao sat in the driver's seat and turned the key.

Xu Qingze stared at Ziyue's face without saying a word, and said for a long time, "How long has she been in this state."

"It started at six or seven o'clock yesterday afternoon. It has been more than ten hours now." I simply calculated the time.

"This symptom is like someone has put a spell on it." Xu Qingze said.

"Is it the spell I sent you yesterday afternoon?" He Hao asked.

"No, that talisman is a fire-shaped talisman. I saw it in the materials yesterday. It is the life-saving talisman of the Fire Family. Only the elders of the Fire Family know the order of drawing that talisman and the words to recite silently. Who is that talisman?" For you." Xu Qingze looked at He Hao and asked.

"It's an old lady who tells fortunes on the street." He Hao said simply.

"Oh, that's interesting. It seems that this old lady should be the guardian of the fire town Kappa lurking in Ruixiang City." Xu Qingze said with certainty.

"So, we have met the two guardian families now." He Hao said.

"I'm afraid it's more than that. This spell is not from the Mu and Huo family. It should be from the Water family. I have sorted out some of the more magical functions of the Kappa in Wuxing Town from the information, and I can tell you about it now." Xu Qingze will The sorted materials were distributed to He Hao and me.

"Could it be that Ziyue's coma has nothing to do with Wang Zhicheng?" I was very confused. When we came into contact with people from the Shui family again, could it be that Wang Zhicheng is from the Shui family.It's just so confusing.

He Hao patted me on the shoulder and said, "Old Li, don't worry. Listening to Professor Xu's lecture may help us sort out our current mess."

"I don't know who Wang Zhicheng you are talking about, so I will start from the town river boy I know." Xu Qingze's voice is as gentle as water, and the students who have taken his class should be very happy. In class, even if the content is boring, you can still be attracted by his nice voice.

"The concept of the Kappa in Wuxing Town used to be mentioned by the old people at home as a legend. It was not until I came into contact with an ancient book that I realized that the Kappa in Wuxing Town really existed. Some time ago, He Hao brought the Kappa in Town, and I confirmed it After thinking over and over again, I dared to conclude that this is the legendary town kappa. At that time, I didn’t know and had no way to identify which series of town kappa that puppet was. Fortunately, Bai Xiao brought these materials over yesterday. I was lucky enough to come into contact with the town kappa’s real appearance .”

At this time, Granny Wen came up on the creaking stairs, holding a plate of cute snacks in her hand and putting them on the small tea table in the study, and gently refilling a glass of water for each of us.Her eyes flicked across Ziyue's sleeping face, and she suddenly felt a little dazed, so she asked, "What's the matter with this girl, she came here yesterday and was fine."

Professor Xu walked up to Granny Wen and put his arms around Granny Wen's shoulders and said in a loud but gentle voice, "Grandma, she just fell asleep because she was too tired."

"Oh, then I'll cover her with that blanket, or she'll catch a cold." Granny Wen turned around and went downstairs slowly.

Xu Qingze took a bite of the dessert that Granny Wen gave him and continued: "The Kappa of Fire Town, the Red Emperor of the South. Among the five elements, it corresponds to the position of the heart, so the kappa of Fire Town knows people and gods, and discerns what people think in their hearts."

"Muzhen Kappa, Dongfang Qingmu. The five elements correspond to the liver, and the liver stores the soul, so the Muzhen Kappa can extract people's souls and make people leave their souls."

"Tuzhen kappa, the central emperor. The five elements correspond to the spleen, and the spleen determines the will of a person, so the Tuzhen kappa can control people's will and control people's behavior."

"The Kappa of Jinzhen, the White Emperor of the West, corresponds to the lungs among the five elements, and the lungs govern the soul, so the kappa of Jinzhen can seize the body, that is to say, seize the body of another person when the soul is separated."

"Water town kappa, Northern Mo Emperor, the five elements correspond to the kidney, and the kidney belongs to essence, so the water town kappa can make people lose their minds and fall asleep. I corresponded to the role of the five elements town kappa, so I judged that Ziyue should be in the water type spell."

"Apart from these attributes, does the Kappa have any other functions?" He Hao asked.

"In ancient times, town kappa was mainly used to assist people who control water to change the river course, pacify floods, and cure drought. Dayu controlled water in Kyushu for a long time according to the right time and place. The guardians of town kappa have to change their residences at any time, within Kyushu according to The celestial phenomenon walks. So the reunion in 540 years determines their direction in the next 540 years. I am afraid that only the elders of the guarding families know about the other effects of Zhenkappa. As far as the information we have now, we can only know a little bit. [-]. Because the information comes from the Mu family, there are more records of their family's history of guarding the Kappa in Mu Town."

"If the Kappa of the Five Elements Town has a specific form, then what should the Kappa of the Water and Fire Town look like." I said what confused me.

"The kappa in the water-shaped town can exist in the form of ice. As for fire, I don't know much about it. It seems that only the elders of that family know about it. Yin and yang seem to interact with each other, but in fact they all communicate with each other. Take what we have now For the kappa in Muzhen who came into contact with him, his appearance is a three-inch long wooden doll, and the nail on his head is a metal. It corresponds to the metal that overcomes wood in the five elements, that is, rigidity wins softness. But if the wood is too strong, it will also appear The bullying of the wood is also the situation of opposing the gold."

"Mr. Xu, what have you said so much has anything to do with our case?" Bai Xiao was stuffing snacks into her mouth one by one, with a face full of clues, only knowing the silly and cute expression of the delicacies on the plate. .

He Hao reluctantly picked up a paper towel and wiped Bai Xiao's face, it was covered with some snack residue.Then he said: "If you don't understand, go downstairs and chat with Granny Wen."

Bai Xiao shook his head and said, "How do you know that I don't understand? I just don't understand what's involved."

Xu Qingze smiled softly and said: "The Kappa of Wuxing Town is designed completely according to the Yin-Yang and Five Elements. When Dayu controlled the water, he paid attention to dredging rather than blocking, so he finally exhausted his efforts to integrate into this kappa of Wuxing Town .”

"Wood, fire, metal, and water are listed above and below the earth. The first two belong to yang, and the latter two belong to yin. Fire is more active than wood and belongs to yang. Water is lower than metal and belongs to yin. The middle of land belongs to middle. Therefore, the guardian who has the kappa of the earth town has been named the leader of the guardian, and only the elders of the earth-shaped guardian are proficient in all the mysteries of the town kappa."

He Hao went on to say: "Wang Zhicheng used mind control to kill people twice before. Trace amounts of earth elements were found in Cheng Li's nutritional supplements and Lao Li's red wine bottle. When Zhang Xiong died, his backpack was full of big Stone. In this way, it can be deduced temporarily that Wang Zhicheng borrowed the earth element to carry out mental manipulation to kill.

But Wang Zhicheng's change of face into Wang Bing should be due to the use of gold elements. This is just my speculation for the time being.The next thing is that Ziyue fell into a coma. You just said that the water element was involved in it, and Lao Li's mood has been very unstable these two days.Finally, there is the fire element. Grandma Lin, who tells fortunes on the street, can really capture people's thoughts.In this incident, the five elements have almost been gathered. "

Bai Xiao seemed to understand half of what he heard, scratched his head and said, "Isn't this missing our wooden town Kappa?"

I answered, "Could this wood element be that we followed Zhou Jiaqi that night, and Zhou Jiaqi led us to the water's edge and disappeared mysteriously? If this is just a cover-up. Isn't the wood element able to make people lose their souls? Will we be there that night?" What I saw was Zhou Jiaqi's soul."

"Brother Li, you're saying that our wooden town kappa was found because of Zhou Jiaqi. Although Zhou Jiaqi and our family are neighbors, they don't usually have any contact with each other. How could they have anything to do with her?" Bai Xiao was a little surprised.

"Whether it matters or not is uncertain, but since Wang Zhicheng can use the five elements to kill people, either he has gathered all the Kappa towns in the five towns, or he knows the guardians of the kappa towns in the Tuxing town. So the five big families must be more or less It's all related to Wang Zhicheng." He Hao analyzed again.

Xu Qingze was half-sitting on his desk, he didn't look like a university professor at all, instead he looked like a romantic and unrestrained literati. His eyes flickered in and out of the gold-rimmed glasses frame, and he kept smiling, turning his hands A pitch-black pen said slowly: "Old Li, it seems that you have dragged our family He Hao into a huge conspiracy."

"We don't know what this conspiracy is. It is only good for us to learn more about the history of Kappa. If we say that these five families have only met once every 540 years in thousands of years, then they have only gathered a dozen times in total. You said that they really only meet once in 540 years. Use their respective town kappa to gather a table, settle the situation and then leave without contact with each other. There will be no one with ulterior motives among them who wants to gather all of them. Zhenhe boy. Then again, what will happen after the town's river boys gather together, it should be recorded in this document." He Hao ignored Xu Qingze's slight ridicule to me, just wanted to know as much as possible about Zhenhe The role of Kappa.

On the contrary, after hearing Xu Qingze's words, I lowered my head even lower in shame.

"I'm doing science popularization for free now, He Hao, how are you going to repay me? Let Sister Bai Xiao promise you with your body." Xu Qingze started to be a little unscrupulous again.

However, Bai Xiao was extremely happy when he heard these words: "I am willing, I am very willing." While speaking, he looked at He Hao's expression.

"If you want, you can do it yourself." He Hao squeezed out a sentence coldly.

Bai Xiao pouted, looked at Xu Qingze obsessively, and said, "Teacher Xu, tell me quickly. No one in our family is willing to tell me about Zhenhetong. I don't even know why our family wants to I have been in the army for generations, whether it is a soldier or a policeman, they all say that this is the rule left by their ancestors and they don’t explain it to me, which makes me really uncomfortable.”

Xu Qingze was very satisfied with the little incident he had just provoked, cleared his throat, took a sip of tea from his small teacup and said, "Minister Bai said before that every 540 years when the town's kappa reunions would cause trouble, it's not just that There are many people who have coveted the ability of town kappa for thousands of years. If the town kappa falls into the hands of people with ulterior motives, the consequences will be unimaginable. Jin can protect wood at the same time. Only when your family has been in the army for generations can you have upright gold Only in this way can your Bai family be safe and sound. On the contrary, most of the other four families are hidden in the world, but it is not easy to escape being hunted down. Therefore, the choice of the Bai family is the biggest choice of the ancestors of the Bai family. wisdom."

Bai Xiao's expression was a little dignified for a moment, he didn't know whether it was joy or sadness.Since childhood, we have had no worries about food and clothing, and a respected life has been accumulated by our ancestors little by little.As a member of the Bai family, she also has an inescapable responsibility.

"This book records what happened before and after the Kappa reunion 540 years ago, and I will briefly tell you what happened at that time.

The author has something to say:

I didn't expect that I could actually change the day
