The soul of the ex-husband

There are shadow casts on the bronze bedposts.

Xiao Qi narrowed his eyes slightly, trying to see more clearly through the white gauze curtain, but found that the dark lines were complicated and twisted, interlaced and superimposed, very much like some kind of characters.

In the middle of the string of characters, there is a serpentine mark.

Xiao Qi felt strange.

Normal bedposts can be carved, but they will not be carved with patterns similar to religious totems.

Just as Xiao Qi was about to stop, he changed his gesture again, kicked away the hem of the Taoist robe, took another step, and circled around the bed.

Behind the screen, the woman let out a soft "tsk" and said, "Isn't it about to end? Why did it start again?"

Seeing Xiao Qi's posture just now, she thought she was going to die down at last, but unexpectedly Xiao Qi started chanting mantras again, buzzing, and his head hurt.

Xiao Qi circled around the bed twice more, and saw clearly the four corners of the bed, there were similar totems on each pillar.

Xiao Qi maintained the seal gesture, but pinched his fingers secretly.

This is his habitual small movement when thinking.

Is there any mystery hidden in these four bedposts?

But only a moment later, Xiao Qi's eyes lit up suddenly.

Pentagram Forbidden Soul Formation!

Xiao Qi remembered, this is a formation, placed beside the bed, with the bed as the boundary.

The statement about the pentagram soul-suppressing array is all from Xiao Qi's reading in some ancient books of mysticism.

This formation originated in the West, and later spread to He Kingdom, but it was lost hundreds of years ago.

The superimposed symbols on the dark lines are the proverbs of Israel, which are used for prayer, and the figure in the middle is ouroboros, which means cycle and reincarnation.

This formation can prevent all spirits from approaching, so it has the effect of exorcism.

After Xiao Qi understood what kind of formation was set up in front of him, he felt that it was evil.

It's not that there is a problem with the formation itself, but that a soul-forbidden formation that has been lost for a hundred years is set up next to a vegetative person, and it is arranged so secretly, what is the intention?

Is it just to protect the person on the bed from evil?

Xiao Qi stood by the bed, his face as calm as water, motionless.

Everyone thought he was in a trance.

The woman behind the screen urged arrogantly: "Shouldn't it be time for the mage to end?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Xiao start up and raised his head to face above the beam of the bed.

"What is he looking at?" There was suspicion in the woman's voice.

Although the young man was blind, he always seemed to be able to see.

Is it possible to see everything without eyes?

On the other side, Xiao Qi actually sorted out the whole story and was looking for a way to break the formation.

As I heard in the backyard just now, the woman asserted firmly that the souls of vegetative people will not be brought back.

Presumably the key lies in the forbidden soul array in front of him.

Since the Pentagram Forbidden Soul Formation can block all spirits, besides evil spirits, of course it also includes the souls of vegetative people themselves.

Even if he summoned the soul back today, he couldn't break through this formation, and the soul still couldn't get close.

Xiao Qi turned his mind, and the long eyes behind the sunglasses quietly looked at the whole big bed.

From the point of view of the formation, there should be five corners, but now only four are found, and there is one missing, which must be the eye of the formation.

A pendant hung above the head of the bed, shaking slightly, soon caught Xiao Qi's attention.

Through layers of white veils, it can be seen that the pendant is a double concentric ring with faint lines on the ring.

Xiao Qi just wanted to stretch out his hand to push aside the bed curtain, intending to take off the pendant.

A woman's voice suddenly came from the other side of the room: "What are you doing!"

People around were startled and looked at the slim figure on the screen in puzzlement.

Xiao Qi paused, but he didn't let go as he said, and said without changing his face: "The spell casting is over, I want to see if there is any sign of this good believer waking up."

"This child is weak and can't see the wind. Please stay away from the priest and don't lift the bed curtain." The woman calmed down a little and said, "If the ceremony is over, please go to rest first, and it will be settled here." Someone arranged."

After finishing speaking, Xiao Qi loosened the white veil and took a step away from the bed.

The woman secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that nothing had happened, she sat upright and said, "This child should also rest, and everyone who has nothing to do with him should step down..."

Before the woman finished speaking, Xiao Qi took out a yellow talisman from his wide sleeve, lighted it on the candle on the window sill, and swayed the talisman twice in mid-air, the movement was smooth and natural, all in one go.

Before everyone could see why, the old man suddenly exclaimed: "It's on fire!"

Everyone looked for the sound, and they were surprised to see that inside the gauze, a string of tongues of fire licked the bottom of the pendant and swallowed it upwards. There was nothing left in the place it passed. A string of platinum chains [-] centimeters long, like paper. In the blink of an eye, along with the flames, it was completely burned, leaving no ashes.

The moment the fire was extinguished, Xiao Qi who was standing outside the gauze tent stretched out his hand towards the air, making a gesture of catching, and with a soft "bang dang", a string of necklaces fell out of Xiao Qi's palm out of thin air.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

This is clearly an object taken from a distance!

The woman was shocked: "You!"

Holding the necklace, Xiao Qi turned around sideways, facing the direction of the four landscape screens, with a straight body and a low and clear voice: "Madam, can you explain, is there any particularity to this chain hanging above the brows of believers?"

The woman came to her senses and snorted heavily, she was very unhappy, as if she should say "None of your business" in the next second.

But everyone is a gentleman after all, the woman only said in a low voice: "That necklace is a talisman, it has been hanging on the bedside for nine years, and I haven't taken it off for a moment, I advise you to put it down quickly, in case something happens to the child, Who will take the responsibility? Everyone can't tell, right?"

Xiao Qi nodded indifferently, not wanting to have a confrontation with the woman.

Just as he was about to put down the necklace, the woody fragrance with a slight milky smell in the room suddenly became rich, like a sprayed flower bud blooming in an instant.

Xiao Qi had a sensitive nose, sniffed lightly, then raised his head, turned his face with some hesitation, and looked at the big bed in the middle of the room.

I saw layers of veils hanging down to the ground, and at some point stood a tall and tall figure belonging to a man, vaguely, facing Xiao Qi.

On the bed, the vegetative person was still lying quietly.

Xiao Qi's heart skipped a beat, he knew he had hit a ghost.

He turned his head to look at the people on the other side of the room. Sure enough, everyone looked as usual, and they didn't see a figure appearing out of thin air under the bed curtain.

Xiao Qi looked back into the bed curtain again, but saw that the man seemed to smile silently at him, then turned and walked towards the person on the bed.

The moment the man turned around, a mighty gust of wind came in from the window, setting off layers of white gauze curtains.

The gauze curtain opened a gap, and through that gap, one could see the man with his head down and his eyes down. His side face had a kind of fragile beauty, and there was a mole on the side of the tip of his nose, even the color was gentle brown.

Seeing the mole, Xiao Qi felt as if struck by lightning, his mind went blank, almost following instinct, he strode forward, grabbed the gauze curtain and lifted it to both sides.

Because of Xiao Qi's rash behavior without any warning, the woman stood up abruptly and said sharply: "Presumptuous! Who allowed you to watch it?"

As soon as the words fell, two burly men rushed out from behind the screen, and rushed towards Xiao Qi with a threatening manner.

Xiao Qi is ignorant of the movements in the room, he only has the person on the bed in his heart.

Inside the bed curtain, the man happened to bend over, and it turned into a light snow color, attached to the figure of the person on the bed, and disappeared after a slight flash of snow light.

In the next second, the eyelids of the man wearing the breathing mask moved slightly.

Xiao Qi stared at the other person's familiar face, tilted his head to look carefully, his eyes were full of blankness and uncertainty: "Sister Heng... Zhou Heng?"

The man on the bed trembled and opened his eyes.

Before this, Xiao Qi never thought that the name would also become a kind of curse, powerful enough to break the nine-year imprisonment.

It was also at that moment that Xiao Qi believed that the Sleeping Beauty in fairy tales really existed.

The man raised his hand with some difficulty, pulled down the breathing mask, tilted his head on the pillow, and looked at Xiao Qi outside the veil, with deep phoenix eyes.

The eyes of the two are facing each other, this is the beginning of the story, the theme is——

"cheat".

The old man's voice was loud and draws a long tone: "Master woke up—"

Almost at the same time, sirens sounded from far and near outside the house.

The people in the room reacted differently and were in a mess.

"What's going on?" The woman gripped the back of the wooden chair and asked, "Who reported it to the police?"

The two burly men stopped where they were, a little at a loss, and finally looked at the figure on the landscape screen, waiting for instructions.

Although Tata and Peter Pan didn't know what happened, they were clever. They looked at each other and knew that they couldn't be watched by the police, so they rushed to the altar and swept things into the suitcase.

Simon took advantage of the chaos and called Xiao Qi: "Let's go!"

Xiao Qi came back to his senses suddenly, the sound of sirens outside was approaching.

He glanced at the man on the bed, turned around without stopping, and stepped on the cabinet near the window with a few steps.

Before jumping out of the window and leaving, Xiao Qi squatted on the window sill with one knee bent, holding the top of the window frame with one hand, thought for a while, and looked back into the room.

In the chaos of the crowd, Zhou Heng's eyes never moved away from Xiao Qi's body. Seeing Xiao Qi turning his head, he slowly but firmly raised a weak arm. His open palm faced Xiao Qi, and his middle finger was slowly folded on top of his index finger. rear.

Xiao Qi seemed to be stabbed, avoiding his sight, but a corner of his heart collapsed.

***

"What does this gesture mean?"

One afternoon in December 2012, the sky was freezing white, but the sun was shining brightly.

Xiao Qi and Zhou Heng hid by the back wall of the Internet ring center chatting and basking in the sun.

Zhou Heng gave Xiao Qi the popular science Onmyoji's seal-binding technique, and showed him how to make gestures in the hand-print of the Nine-Character Mantra.

The two teenagers chatted happily.

On a whim, Xiao Qi spread out his palms, overlapping his index and middle fingers, and said, "What does this gesture mean?"

Zhou Heng looked at it for a long time, then shook his head blankly.

Xiao Qi curled his lips into a smile, looking a bit mean, put his palm in front of Zhou Heng, and said, "Here, remember, this gesture is similar to the Vulcan salute in Star Wars, which means hello."

Zhou Heng nodded, he really believed it.

As long as children can look it up online, they will know that this gesture has nothing to do with raising hands.

Zhou Heng then looked at Xiao Qi.

Seeing the sun, Xiao Qi narrowed his eyes slightly, with a comfortable appearance that was almost melted by the sun, his brows were clear and bright, and the corners of his lips were smiling, with a three-pointed scorn.

Zhou Heng's eyes moved slightly, he raised his palm towards Xiao Qi, put his middle finger behind his index finger, and said seriously:

"Hello, Kong Kong."

"Kong Kong" is Xiao Qi's nickname, which is taken from the Buddha's enlightenment of "dependant origin and emptiness".
