Feast of Rebirth

After he fell asleep, strands of black air flowed out from his back, twisted into a bunch, and floated towards the door.

When the black air floated to the door, it seemed to have hit a wall of fire, and the color suddenly faded and scattered into a ball.It took a long time to re-condense, but it has shrunk a lot from when it first came out.

The moment it was re-condensed, three spirit talismans came through the air, and the black smoke was stopped in a hush, and the black smoke was rampaging in a panic in the spirit cage, doomed to be futile.

Yun Congfeng took it away easily, but he had a problem with how to deal with it. If he handed it over to his boss, he might not know what happened in the final interrogation.Or he can keep it by himself, and reading remnant souls is not something he is good at, just asking questions, this remnant soul can't speak.

When he was in a dilemma, Yun Congfeng thought of Bai Jiu, so why not visit his old friend.Bai Jiu has a lot of friends, so he may know some capable people who can solve this problem.Thinking of this, he shouted "Ding", the talisman was tightened, and Yun Congfeng stuck a few more talismans on it, making sure that it was tight and there was no possibility of escape. He put it away and prepared to go to Bai Jiu. Just as he crossed the threshold, he again An embarrassing question came to mind: Where can I find Bai Jiu?

In the past, in the academy, we could meet each other every day. After coming to Wang Jing, Bai Jiu took the initiative to find him. Now he is going to find someone else, and he doesn't know where he is.

Yun Congfeng thought about it, right!Isn't there another Bai Ziqian in the academy, he must be looking for him, and he left for Guihai Academy.

Guihai Academy, as always, is full of books.There is always an inexplicable sense of kindness and comfort when revisiting the old place.Yun Congfeng wandered east and west, stopped a few people and asked if they knew where Bai Ziqian was, they all shook their heads and said they didn't know, and bumped into the wall several times in a row, Yun Congfeng felt that such random questions were just looking for a needle in a haystack, so he decided to ask an academy waiter .

The waiter entertained him very warmly, and according to his prompt, he dug up the files of students surnamed Bai for the new school year. Yun Congfeng and the waiter searched all over, but there was no Bai Ziqian's name.

The waiter went through it again, and looked back to see if there was anything missing on the bookshelf, but there was none.

"Did you remember wrongly?" The waiter said with a smile. Yun Congfeng felt embarrassed and said, "Bai Jiu introduced me to him. Bai Jiu, you should know. He has no reason to lie."

"Then..." The waiter turned around and looked through the bookshelf carefully, then suddenly gasped, and pulled out a paper bag from the next shelf: "Why did you put it here?"

Bai Ziqian was in Class [-]A, Yun Congfeng thanked the waiter, and walked to Class [-]A based on his memory.

Bai Ziqian sat quietly in the back row of the classroom, writing big characters.The others finished today's homework and went out to play other things.

"Brother Ziqian."

Bai Ziqian raised his head, somewhat astonished: "Sir?"

"Don't call me Mr., I never taught you anything." Yun Congfeng sat down and glanced at the paper on the table: "Is it the homework assigned by Mr. Academy?"

"Yes."

"Sir, the purpose of practicing big characters is to calm your mind. If you calm down, you don't need to write these big characters. In essence, it is the same as the homework in the kindergarten." When Yun Congfeng was in school, the master of the academy also assigned this kind of homework, but there was no one in the class. Several people take it seriously.

Bai Ziqian smiled quietly: "It's good to be able to calm down." Then he said: "Sir, why did you come to see me?"

"I want to ask for something, I want to find Bai Jiu, where is he most likely now?"

"Of course it's at home, and there may be a blind date." Bai Ziqian put down his pen with a smile on his face, "I'll take you to meet him."

"Won't it delay your homework?"

"No delay, time is not tight."

Sure enough, as Bai Ziqian said, Bai Jiu is on a blind date.He drooped his head, fiddled with the Bodhi in his hands one by one, and the parents of both sides had a lively conversation in the main seat.

Due to customs, men and women on a blind date cannot see each other. The woman's parents brought a portrait, and the servant held the painting with a painting pole.Bai Jiu's aunt boasted to the painting: "The second girl from the Li family is a good-natured girl, rich in poetry at a young age, and gentle in temperament. She is a hard-to-find good match in the world."

Bai Jiu was extremely perfunctory: "Well, yes, yes, you are right. But I think she is too boring."

"Why are you bored? Looking at the portrait, you can still tell that he is bored?"

"I just feel bored. Look, this portrait doesn't even have a smiling face. It looks like Mr. Academy. I don't want to be with Mr. Academy every day."

Auntie frowned: "This... this is the painter's problem, how can I blame it on the girl!"

"They're still seeing each other." Bai Ziqian sat down under the tree, "Wait, we have something to talk about."

Yun Congfeng also sat down, listening to Bai Jiu fighting wits and courage with his relatives in the room, he wanted to laugh.

"I smell a strong evil spirit on you, what is it?"

Yun Congfeng thought about it, and took out the spirit cage: "Here, this is it. I want to ask something, but I'm not familiar with it."

Bai Ziqian looked at it for a moment: "This is not acceptable."

"what?"

"This remnant soul has been illuminated by the red thread? It will soon dissipate, and there is no value in asking."

red line.After Yun Congfengjing said this, he suddenly remembered.The reason why the remnant soul of the old witch was captured by him was due to the ubiquitous "red lines" in Qingpingsi Mansion. The "Red Line" organ array spreads all over the Qingping Division, which has the function of exorcising evil spirits and suppressing demons. If external abnormal forces want to touch Qingping Division, they will be sensed by the "Red Line" and will fight back.

From this point of view, the power of the red thread is beyond his imagination, or in other words, the remnant soul that the old witch secretly saved is too weak.

"Then what should we do?" After all, it was the only clue, and Yun Congfeng didn't want to give up on it.

Bai Ziqian rubbed his nose: "Let it out for a try? Maybe it doesn't have much self-awareness now, and just wants to go back to the place it instinctively wants to go back to... Maybe it will work? Well, let me give it a try. It's a little bit harder, maybe it won't last a little longer."

When Bai Ziqian said this, he was full of uncertainty.Yun Congfeng took a closer look, and found that the old witch's demon soul was indeed dying. She was dying and might dissipate at any time. With the attitude of treating a dead horse like a living horse doctor, Yun Congfeng opened the spirit cage.

The remnant soul that was just released was unstable and almost disappeared.Bai Ziqian muttered something, bit his finger and dripped blood on the remnant soul.

Yun Congfeng endured his uneasiness and waited for a while. The remnant soul slowly took a breath and began to stabilize.Fortunately, the sky is now approaching evening, and the yin is flourishing and the yang is declining.

The black smoke drifted slowly into the distance, Yun Congfeng followed it, and Bai Ziqian got up to follow.Yun Congfeng looked back: "This...you'd better not get involved."

"Why?"

Yun Congfeng couldn't tell for a while: "Hey... well, I can't tell for a while. But you don't need to know, it's not good to know too much."

"Is it about the people in the palace?"

Yun Congfeng was even more troubled, and Bai Ziqian continued, "So this remnant soul is that old witch."

Yun Congfeng laughed awkwardly.

"She's leaving." Bai Ziqian reminded.

Yun Congfeng quickened his pace to keep up, the black smoke drifted quickly, and the sky became darker and darker. A little bit of light black smoke could easily dissolve into the sky and be invisible.Yun Congfeng stared at him closely, unable to care about Bai Ziqian behind him.

The black smoke floated to the center of the capital, to the base of the imperial city, and was about to float over the palace wall and go inside.Yun Congfeng stopped and thought about what to do.

"I can't see it anymore." Bai Ziqian looked at the black smoke drifting over the tall palace wall, and gasped in surprise: "It actually passed through the barrier, the background is really big."

To be able to pass through the protective barrier of the imperial palace, the origin must be extraordinary.Yun Congfeng had no ability to track him down anymore, so he couldn't help but think wildly: With his hands and eyes open to the sky, could it be the emperor who is behind the scenes?

But if it ended like this, I would be a little bit reconciled.

Why.He heaved a long sigh.It was completely dark.The streets were lit up with little lights, and the residents under the imperial city had fewer lights. Yun Congfeng folded a piece of paper and the moon illuminated, "Go back."

After walking for a while, a few drops of rain fell from the sky.Bai Ziqian remained silent, he took out his umbrella from somewhere, and put it on the heads of the two of them.Yun Congfeng glanced at him in surprise, or felt that it was not good for him to go all the way without saying a word, so he thought for a while and asked, "Brother Ziqian, did you learn magic from elementary school?"

"Yes."

"Then why don't you concentrate on practicing the way of art? Isn't it easier to study the way of art than to study?"

"Mister's skills and attainments are not weaker than learning, so the niche is naturally fine."

"Ah? Do you think I'm very good at technique? Actually...it's just so-so..." Yun Congfeng rubbed his nose and smiled awkwardly.

"Why is Mr. so inferior? I'm not exaggerating. Mr. has deep inner strength, and he is on par with the elders of the Bai family. There is no need to talk about learning."

"..."

"You know I came down from Mount Baopu, right?"

"The family was just guessing at first, and later got the exact information from insiders. However, the family respects the people of Baopu Mountain, and the husband doesn't want others to disturb him easily, so the family didn't pay a visit."

"An insider?" Yun Congfeng frowned. It was impossible for Hu Yan to sell him out, and Chi Nu was a bored gourd. Who could it be?

Bai Ziqian turned his head and looked at him for a while: "He's a businessman with an eye for money."

merchant.All of a sudden, Yun Congfeng woke up, it was that old fox Wei Ze!

"Mister is angry?"

"No." Yun Congfeng of course wanted to deny it, "I'm just curious... Is it true that some influential people in the capital know my identity?"

Bai Ziqian thought about it seriously: "Maybe. Of course, I don't know if I'm interested in knowing more about it. Mr. Bai Jiu has a good relationship, so it's inevitable that he will be noticed."

The two chatted about something, and Bai Ziqian suddenly changed the subject: "Xiaosheng heard that Mr. has a lady from the demon clan?"

"Huh?" Yun Congfeng was caught off guard, his face flushed instantly, and he faltered: "This... that... indeed! But she went back to her mother's house and hasn't been here for a while."

"Sir, this reaction is not quite right. Could it be that you are lying?"

"You think it is, then it is..."

"Mr. is worrying too much, Xiaosheng has no other intentions."

At the entrance of Guihai Lane, Bai Ziqian stopped: "Do you want an umbrella, sir?"

"No need, thank you."

"Goodbye sir."

As Yun Congfeng walked, he always felt a chill on his back.He was sure that Bai Ziqian was watching him from behind, but he didn't dare to turn around to confirm, so he continued to walk, and he was relieved when the other party should no longer be able to see him.

He felt that Bai Ziqian's weirdness that he couldn't tell was probably because he approached him too deliberately and enthusiastically, but after all, he had helped him a few times, so it seemed too petty to speculate that he had ulterior motives for no reason.The black smoke has gone to the depths of the palace, and the mastermind behind the scenes is still unknown. Hu Yan just ran away at this time... Yun Congfeng returned to the Rujia Inn full of worries.
