crossing yin and yang

Chapter 114

Wei Yang felt that he was flying, and the howling night wind was blowing on his face. He didn't feel any pain, but a feeling of weightlessness brought by high-speed progress. After a while, he realized that his feet were still on the ground. It's just that the distance of each step is frighteningly far, so it's no longer like running, but like flying away.At the foot was a country dirt road, with reclaimed fields on both sides, where sorghum was sparsely planted. The tops of sorghum stalks taller than a person had been scioned, but the grains were not full enough, which made those thin stalks look thinner.

He has never seen such a scene.where is thisWhat is he going to do?Wei Yang felt a little empty in his head, but his body seemed to have an independent consciousness, and he ran forward without stopping. After turning around the last field, his eyes suddenly opened up, and he saw a huge Zhuangzi appear in front of you.

That is obviously not something that belongs to the contemporary era. Zhuangzi occupies a very large area, and the walls are all built of bricks and stones. The stretching high walls block the prying eyes of outsiders. The shallow moat looks like a simple castle, but many places have been in disrepair for a long time, bringing out a strange sense of dilapidation.This kind of Zhuangzi could house an entire clan in ancient times, and it was also the favorite architectural style of the powerful and gentry in the war-torn dynasties.

But why did he come here?Before Wei Yang could think of a reason, Fei Dun's footsteps suddenly stopped, and his hands spontaneously took out something from the cloth bag hanging on his waist, and stuck it into the soil in front of him with a thud.That thing is very familiar, like a chicken bone, but it is much longer than ordinary chicken bones. It is probably the skeleton of some kind of large bird. He is also very familiar with this movement. array.

As if the whole person was split in two, Wei Yang watched in confusion as he used the extended version of chicken throat and death jade to form a formation on the city wall, and then removed a string of bone chains from his wrists.It was a chain made of three phalanges, simply strung on a thin leather rope, like a white finger wrapped around the wrist, it looked a bit scary, but also brought out a strange intimacy.Wei Yang was a little taken aback, isn't this the bone array he wears on his body?Why did it suddenly appear here...

Immediately afterwards, something trembling appeared, it felt like the thin scales of a poisonous snake ran across his back, carrying a biting chill and resentment, a light burst out from the bone array, a bright red light like blood, The light fell into the city like a meteor, and immediately, the chicken throats and dead jade placed on the ground also had a chain reaction. Zhuangzi.

It seemed that in just a few seconds, everything became silent, not the tranquility of the night, but a dead silence without a sound, as if it was completely crushed by the black and red interlaced light, and there was no more sound.Wei Yang's heart twitched suddenly, what's going on?He—or this person standing here—obliterated a manor with a bone array?

What about God's punishment?What about backlash?Wei Yang couldn't believe what he saw, it didn't conform to the common sense he knew and learned.However, he took another step forward, crossed the narrow river channel, and stretched out his hand to push open the huge wooden door.Inside the wall, there are several corpses laying in disorder. They should be guards guarding the gate at night. Everyone's faces are distorted and deformed, and blood oozes from the seven orifices.Further ahead, on the street, in the houses, wherever he walked, it was the same scene, even the rats hiding in the Kudi and the poultry raised in the yard all died without exception.

He had never heard of such a formation, and he never imagined that it could be summoned with a bone formation.But everything in front of him was so realistic, just like what he saw with his own eyes, Wei Yang suddenly felt scared. Could it be that this is the real purpose of the bone array?But why kill them, who is using the bone array? !

With a creak, the door of the side courtyard was pushed open, and he walked into a room that looked like a bedroom. There was a simple bunk bed deep in the spacious inner hall, and a middle-aged man was lying on it. The only person in the entire Zhuangzi who took action before his death touched the wooden sword next to the pillow with one hand, but before he could cast a spell, he was killed by the force.That face was so ferocious, but when he saw him, Wei Yang felt his face twitch, as if the corners of his mouth were raised into a smile.Then, he found himself bent down, brought a bone array in front of the man, said something, the corpse twitched, a black phantom rushed out of the body, and was absorbed by the bone array.

It was like a remnant soul.For some reason, there was something extra in his head, something he wasn't supposed to know.However, in this gloomy bedroom, instead of any surprises, this feeling was terribly terrifying.Looking at the stubborn Zhuangzi, looking at the corpse that was so tragic that his soul was about to be taken away, Wei Yang felt that his head was about to split from it, and he couldn't hold back any longer. He struggled, trying to escape from the bondage of this body. , but at this moment the bone formation he held in his hand suddenly emitted light, and the white light illuminated everything in the room.

Wei Yang was stunned, and saw a small bronze mirror not far away from him. The smooth mirror surface had fogged up, but there was still a figure, a young-looking one, but full of hair. A haggard white-haired man.Wei Yang was about to look more carefully, but the man's eyes also fell on the bronze mirror, as if he had discovered his existence, the man smiled slightly, stretched out his finger, and tapped it in the air...

With a crisp sound, the talisman drawn in Zhang Xiuqi's hand exploded again, but he didn't even look at the talisman, instead he got up suddenly and rushed towards the small bed beside him.Just now, Wei Yang's body suddenly started to tremble, and even his nasal cavity leaked a stream of reddish blood. He was obviously just sleeping, so why did such a sudden change happen?

A sense of panic mixed with fear rose deep in his heart. Zhang Xiuqi rushed over and took a picture of a pure heart talisman. However, the yellow talisman exploded before it touched the opponent's forehead. This is a pure heart talisman, the most fair Neutralizing, no one will have an adverse reaction to the Qingxin!

As the talisman shattered, only then did Zhang Xiuqi notice that the bone array hanging around Wei Yang's neck was shining with white light. He was just stunned for a moment, and grabbed the leather rope without hesitation. With a sound, the rope broke, and several bone fragments fell to the ground.Wei Yang's body trembled slightly, and he opened his eyes.

Suddenly woke up from the dream, and saw the little celestial master standing in front of him, with the appearance that even the face of the iceberg was cracked, Wei Yang was a little stupid, and he called Brother Qi after a few seconds, thinking Ask him why he was standing by the bed, and the other party has already asked, "Are you dreaming?"

"Ah?" That dream immediately came to mind, and Wei Yang frowned in confusion, "Don't tell me, I really had a nightmare, and it feels a little weird."

"What happened in the dream? Does it have anything to do with the witch bone?" Zhang Xiuqi's face turned even worse when he heard the word nightmare, and something that looked like anger was ignited in his eyes.

Unexpectedly, the other party guessed so accurately, Wei Yang blinked unconsciously: "It has something to do with it. I dreamed that someone killed many people with this bone array. It must have happened in ancient times. Could it be that I was dreaming?" What time did you say?"

I really can't think of why Brother Qi is so angry, Wei Yang carefully asked, but Zhang Xiuqi didn't say anything, just bent down to pick up the bone array that fell on the ground, put it in his pocket, and said coldly: "I'll call my uncle, you stay here first."

After saying this, he frowned, reached out to wipe Wei Yang's lips, turned around and walked out the door.That finger was cold, mixed with the smell of cinnabar and medicinal materials. When the rough finger pulp brushed the skin at the end of the nose, Wei Yang's heart almost jumped out. You must know that this was the last time they had in a few days. After getting in touch with him intimately, Brother Qi seemed to deliberately distance himself from him after he lost his memory, and Mr. Zeng was staring at him, which made him feel like he was trying to hold him back.

Why did you suddenly change today?After being stupid for a long time, Wei Yang thought of reaching out his hand to touch under his nose, but when he raised his hand, he found that his fingertips were still stained with some blood that hadn't been wiped off. Brother Qi just helped him wipe the nosebleed?However, Wei Yang still couldn't help pulling the corners of his mouth away. This movement is just like a conditioned reflex. Is it because I have trained well for a long time?

After being silly for a long time, he finally regained his intelligence and remembered the source of the nosebleed. Could it be that he had a nosebleed in his dream?The bone array hanging around his neck was also confiscated by Zhang Xiuqi, probably something happened that he didn't know. Thinking about it this way, the dream might be a bit weird. Could it be that the bone array is such a wicked thing?

Feeling a little uneasy, Wei Yang got up from the bed. He didn't run around because someone told him to, but sat on the bed and waited obediently. After a few minutes, Zhang Xiuqi came back again. When he saw Wei Yang, he said directly: "Uncle half I’ll come back in an hour and I’ll ask you about the details.” After speaking, he didn’t wait for Wei Yang’s answer, and sat back at the table to continue drawing talismans.

Seeing that the other party entered the working state so quickly, Wei Yang frowned, and suddenly realized that something was wrong, even when he had to draw the soul-fixing talisman every day when he lacked the soul of the sky, the little celestial master didn't do it like this. After working hard, you must know that they are serious Taoist talismans, not to mention energy-intensive, and some even use blood essence, which is not something that can be mass-produced by hundreds of sheets a day.But looking at the finished products on the table, there are at least a dozen or so. How long has it been since he fell asleep, drawing a dozen real talismans in two or three hours?Not to mention that this kind of texture looks very high-end, even the most basic Qingxin Talisman and An Shen Talisman shouldn't be able to fight for so long, right?

Now that the biggest problem has been solved, why is Brother Qi still working so hard?Could it be that something happened that he didn't know about?There was doubt in his heart, but Wei Yang didn't show it. Obviously, Brother Qi is not interested in talking to him now. Instead of running into a wall here, it's better to go back and ask Mr. Zeng.

In this way, one person was drawing the talisman, and the other was in a daze beside, the tortoise master specially came to the door, and was "persuaded" to go back by Wei Yang's kind voice, and almost an hour later, Zeng Jingxuan rushed back from the outside.

"Did you dream that someone used the bone formation? And killed a Zhuangzi? Tell me carefully." Without sitting down to take a breath, Zeng Jingxuan went straight to the point, with a very serious expression.

Knowing that this matter has a lot to do with him, Wei Yang didn't dare to be negligent, and quickly told the dream bit by bit. It stands to reason that the content of the dream would probably become messy when he woke up, but Wei Yang Not only did Yang not forget this time, but he remembered some details more clearly.

After briefly describing what happened, he added two more sentences: "There are at least fourteen or five chicken throats for the formation, and nine dead jade pieces, and I always feel that it is the end of a large formation. And they wear I have also done some research on cultural relics, and the clothes and buildings of those people are in the transitional style of the Tang and Song Dynasties, and the city walls are also in a state of disrepair, probably still in the war-torn era.”

Zeng Jingxuan sighed lightly: "That's not a chicken throat, it's an owl's thorns, usually made of the wing bones of a night owl. Based on the length you describe, it's probably a giant eagle owl that is extremely difficult to hunt. The larynx is the yang formation, which is used to destroy evil spirits, and the owl thorn is the yin formation, which can enhance evil spirits and communicate with ghosts."

Hearing this explanation, Wei Yang couldn't help frowning. Whether he used chicken throat or owl thorns is not the point of the dream at all. Is Mr. Zeng avoiding the key content?With a flash of inspiration in his mind, Wei Yang blurted out: "Do you know about this?"

Zeng Jingxuan didn't show the slightest surprise when it came to the unfinished battle or the age of the clothes, not because he was insensitive to these details, but because he had heard about such things long ago.

With a wry smile, Zeng Jingxuan no longer concealed it, and said: "That is not a manor, but a Taoist temple, which is a branch of the Jiangxi Leng family. public enemy."

"That was made by Sun Yunhe?" Wei Yang couldn't help but widen his eyes in surprise, "This bone array was once in his hands? But it wasn't mentioned in that manuscript at all. Isn't he still regretting that he couldn't use the witchcraft?" All the strength of the bone."

"The manuscript was completed too early. It is estimated that Sun Yunhe had not betrayed Maoshan at that time. As for what happened afterwards, it was confusing and no one knew the details. But this bloody case did shock the Taoist sect. What is even more terrifying is that , He didn’t just do this one thing, but strangled Jiangxi’s Leng family, Huaiyin’s Cui family, and Shangling’s Du family within ten years without leaving any incense. That’s thousands of lives.”

Wei Yang immediately saw sweat on his back. He didn't expect the bone formation to have such a master, let alone kill so many people with it.No wonder Ming Tong was like a little chicken in front of it, completely powerless to fight back.

However, Zeng Jingxuan thought farther than him: "If Sun Yunhe used this thing before, then there may be a reason for separating the bone array. Besides this dream, have you ever dreamed of any strange things?"

Wei Yang said: "Don't tell me, when I was dealing with that fox, I also saw some scenes. A man beat that fox fairy so hard that he couldn't fight back. The fox said he wanted to protect them." home', let that person take it."

"The Jiang family... did the person who collected the fox demon use the bone array?" Zeng Jingxuan asked immediately.

Wei Yang shook his head: "There is no bone array, he just used a drop of fingertip blood."

Zeng Jingxuan showed a look of surprise, and sighed: "At the beginning, the bloodlines of the Wu family were divided into several lines. Jiang and Yao were the purest Wu lines. Over time, these witches gradually lost their inheritance, and some of the stronger bloodlines also transferred to the Taoist sect, or relied on their talents to invite gods and immortals to do business with gods, Hans and witches. But before the Yuan Dynasty, there were still records of great witches, Sun Yunhe I once had a close relationship with a Jiang Wu, and this matter has a very close relationship with him coming out of Maoshan."

As he said that, he gave Wei Yang a meaningful look: "If the bone array was left by a certain Jiang Wu, and you are the direct descendant of that person, then no matter what Sun Yunhe did to this bone array , it shouldn't hurt you at all."

Wei Yang heard some overtones: "You mean, there may be a mark left by Sun Yunhe himself in this bone array?"

"It's very likely, and it's a mark that will only be activated when the three pieces are gathered together." This time, Mr. Zeng said with more certainty, "So you still have to carry the bone formation with you, and no matter what you dream about, you must write it down. It might be closely related to the function of the bone formation."

Unexpectedly, he could have such an adventure in his dreams, Wei Yang was almost speechless to himself, but although such an experience was not flattering, he was not very repulsed. At that time, Daozhang Sun had a great witch by his side, and he became a generation Grandmaster (although he is not a good person), if he can use the witch bone, will Brother Qi also get some benefits?

Thinking of this, he suddenly changed the subject: "By the way, Mr. Zeng, do you have anything else to deal with? I think you've been very busy these two days."

Zhang Xiuqi, who had been sitting next to him, immediately raised his head and looked straight at his uncle, with the nervous expression at the end of his eyes, Zeng Jingxuan sighed from the bottom of his heart, without revealing the slightest hint of wind: "It is necessary to make some preparations, although Xiao Qi's Heavenly Soul is back, but those enemies are still potential hidden dangers, you don't have to worry about them, just take a good rest and recover your strength as soon as possible."

This is completely bureaucratic, but the little magic stick rarely refuted, and responded with a smile: "I just ate and slept for the past two days, and I guarantee that in half a month, I will be a fat and strong man again." , Mr. Zeng, don't worry, if you need it, just tell me."

The meaning of these words is very clear, Zeng Jingxuan nodded with a smile: "It's natural."

Both foxes, big and small, knew that there was water in the other's words, but neither of them pointed it out. Zhang Xiuqi had already lowered his head, as if he was about to continue drawing symbols. Wei Yang touched his nose and stood up: "I'll go and order food." , you have something to continue talking about."

Watching Wei Yang go out the door, Zeng Jingxuan turned her head and said to Zhang Xiuqi: "Did you break the talisman again?"

There are two kinds of talisman leaks, one is broken when the formation is about to take shape, and there will be a crisp sound of "bang", the other is when something goes wrong when starting to write, and the sound of leak is a soft "hiss".The former is an accident that experts will make, while the latter is a mistake that beginners will make.Zhang Xiuqi has been drawing talismans all his life, and it is simply impossible for him to have problems when he starts to draw.

Zhang Xiuqi didn't answer, but just uncovered the page, picked up the pen and wanted to continue drawing, but his uncle had already walked up to him, and lifted the pen holder in his hand: "Don't use this to vent your anger, the three corpses are Is it easy to find? A waste of money!"

This body immediately stopped Zhang Xiuqi's struggling movements, and seeing the other party showing signs of turning into a gourd again, Zeng Jingxuan shook his head: "I don't care what you think in your heart, you can't leave Wei Yang's side these days, although Sun Yunhe It won't hurt a real Jiang family, but his hidden hands are not something anyone can resist, and if something is wrong, we have to help him."

The answer was silence, but Zeng Jingxuan raised the corners of her mouth, because the thing in Zhang Xiuqi's eyes was not boredom, but a secret relief after hearing the order.I have taught him a lot of things in the past 20 years, but I have not taught him how to behave in the world. The lack of the soul makes it difficult for this child to learn to feel emotions. Who is he tormenting if he persists like this?

Letting go of the writing brush in her hand, Zeng Jingxuan took out the things she brought back, and directly ordered: "Don't draw any more talismans today, prepare these medicinal materials first, and continue when you recover your energy tomorrow."

An afternoon passed quickly, and Wei Yang still looked half-dead. He ran to wash up after dinner, and went back to sleep.With the lessons learned from the "nightmare", Zeng Jingxuan didn't let Zhang Xiuqi stay for a long time, and sent him to guard.However, when Zhang Xiuqi walked into the bedroom, he found that the lamp was still on on the bedside table, and there was a small satin bag on the small table. He was stunned for a moment, walked over, and lifted the silk cloth.

Wrapped inside are a few pieces of broken jade, the quality of the jade is not very good, but the carver is very familiar with it.It was a birthday present from his father when he was a child, but he gave it to another child when he was 8 years old.Zhang Xiuqi's fingers trembled, and he clenched his fist immediately, as if he wanted to control the strange emotions in his body. He didn't like being manipulated by these things, but he couldn't forget it from the beginning to the end.

In the 20 years since he lost Tianhun, most of his years were shrouded in a gloomy mist, and he couldn't see the outline clearly. Only the last two months seemed to be polished by something. new.But these things he remembered are tormenting him now.For the first time, Zhang Xiuqi understood why his father left him to face the enemies who would take his life alone.

There are always things that are more important than your own life.

With a blank expression on his face, Zhang Xiuqi raised his head and looked at the person sleeping on the bed. Wei Yang has long been unknown at this moment, and he obviously didn't make it to the wonderful moment of acceptance.Looking at the other party's sleeping face resting for a moment, Zhang Xiuqi raised his hand to turn off the lamp, and slept on the empty bed on the other side with his clothes on.
