as ice: “No matter what gods, Buddhas, demons or monsters, they must abide by the rules here! Qingcheng Hospital administrators using patients for experiments, spreading evil practices, and harming t..."Whatever, even though this place is mostly about spirit summoning, exorcism, and healing... since she lives here, she must be fearless." My brother walked up and knocked on the door.
There was no sound from behind the door. Glancing through the flimsy curtains from the window, she saw a screen flickering, indicating someone was home. Besides, she had made an appointment with them to leave today.
My brother slammed the door a few times, and a lazy voice came from inside: “Coming, coming~~”
Xi Linzhou opened the door, and we saw from the doorway that there was a laptop on her bed, playing a Japanese love action film. The screen was full of flesh, and "pa pa pa" sounds were everywhere. She also had a big earplug plugged in. It turned out she had been watching porn with an earplug
My brother glanced at me and asked, "You're looking at this so early in the morning Aren't you afraid of getting angry"
Xi Linzhou rolled her eyes, not the slightest bit embarrassed. She said helplessly, "What else is there to watch We're in this line of work, are we still afraid of horror films Romance films Who the hell believes in love Only watching this doesn't feel boring."
My brother scoffed and said, “So open and honest, I respect you as a man…but you have this time, why not go find a man instead of watching movies alone!”
She grumbled as she packed up her computer: “Forget men, they're all such scaredy-cats. Who would dare be with me I might as well just watch movies!”
She put her computer away in her backpack.
What Still want to bring it along on the road!
I widened my eyes, "Going out to collect the negative energy Why bring a computer The most useless thing is a computer. It's big, heavy, and even hinders escape."
She saw my confusion and smiled, "Watching this at night is more impactful. I've been waiting for you guys all afternoon, got bored and turned it on."
Watch... a love action movie set in remote mountains at night She's quite the unique flower, isn't she
"How can you live in such a place There are sharp qi pointing straight at the house, and hidden arrows facing diagonally… Such a dwelling will affect your health, and seriously could even bring about bloodshed. You should move to a different place."
Although she didn't ask us to see the house, since we're somewhat acquainted, I thought I'd kindly give her a heads-up.
"Gun and Dark Arrow Sha are relatively common types of Sha Qi. Generally, in large housing developments, if a road points directly at a particular building, that building is likely to be the cheapest in the entire development."
Such a house has bad feng shui, leading to unfavorable career prospects, difficulties in business, and health problems or blood disaster for the individual.
Xi Linzhou raised an eyebrow and said, “This rented house is only temporary, for two or three months. In two months, I'll go back with my master... The next head of the Tongxuan Society will be Elder Huiyuan... I heard that old monk lives forever, so he probably won't come.”
She slung her backpack onto her shoulder and said arrogantly, "So what about 'Dao is the only truth' or 'Buddhism is boundless' We shamans are better! We have no restrictions on our schools of thought, we use whatever methods work!"
Along the way, Xi Linzhou chatted with me the whole time, asking about my family and also sharing some things about herself.
Although she has a proud personality and gives off a slightly rebellious vibe, years of navigating the world have taught her how to interact with people. In conversations, she maintains a good sense of balance.
Although I couldn't quite tell, I still had a feeling she was secretly interested in my family matters and always tried to find out about Jiang Qiyun.
I've kept this a secret, Jiang Qiyun can't manifest physically in front of others right now, only those who have opened their Third Eye can see him.
"...You just said that gun-trigger and hidden arrow, can they backfire" she suddenly asked.
I shook my head. "This isn't a curse, so how would it backlash To dispel it, hang a curtain on the door and put a feng shui turtle on the windowsill... Things like qilin, Pixiu, and bronze lions... I wouldn't recommend placing those."
"Why"
"This place is a rented house, and the environment isn't great. The house is also small; it wouldn't really do justice to a Rui Beast's aura." I spoke plainly.
She let out a soft hum: “ … I’m not afraid of any curses or whatever, but this house was given to me by my senior sister. Was it intentional on her part”
I'm not comfortable discussing this. It's their issue to resolve, and I've already said my piece.
Xi Linzhou could be considered an "orphan girl". She was sold by her biological parents when she was young, and when she was about ten years old, she started running around with Old Madam Ma. This name was also given to her by Old Madam Ma, meaning "a lonely little boat".
She is twenty-four years old this year and has always been raised by Old Madam Ma. She doesn't know what special skills she has that would make her master value her so much.
"Hey, won't you get possessed by evil spirits if you're always with your husband" she asked.
"I don't want to answer that question." She said to herself, "Ah...that's right, you all have kids now..."
My brother reminded me, "Your mouth isn't getting tired You've been talking the whole way! Hurry up and point the way, where are we going now"
We took the expressway to provincial roads, then village roads... finally arriving at a village built into the mountains.
"Oh, oh, oh, black clouds are gathering overhead." My brother leaned out the car window and could see a dark cloud hovering over a courtyard from afar.
Xi Lingzhou rubbed her arms and complained, "It's so hot even at noon. It's really annoying, I'm going to get a rash if I get close!"
"Just get up, it's not a big deal to have chickenpox." My brother drove over there.
"How is this not a serious problem You'll have rashes all over your face then!"
"What are you afraid of You don't have a man anyway, so why care about face"
As we approached the small courtyard and were about to get out of the car, a frantic barking startled me into slamming the door shut.
I remembered once hearing Mu Yunliang talk about the destruction of Huangdao Village, and one of the reasons was rabies virus... It made me a little afraid of dogs.
A large black dog was barking incessantly in the yard. Through the half-open gate, one could see the dog desperately backing away.
In folklore, black dogs are often seen as animals that ward off evil. Dogs correspond to the 12 earthly branches of the Chinese zodiac, and their five element is Earth (Xu Tu). Xu Tu is yang earth.
And pure black fur, puppies over a full moon have the purest yang qi, so blood from such black dogs is often used by Taoist priests to exorcise evil spirits.
We once bought a small bottle of black dog blood on the black market, it was pretty expensive... Taking black dog blood isn't about killing dogs, most of the time they just make a small incision in the back legs or use a syringe to take a little bit.
Such benevolent livestock are mostly treated well, and normal people, especially mages, would not want to harm them.
"I feel like there's something strange about the energy in the yard... In the southwest corner, this dog definitely saw something." I told my brother.
My brother shoved a baseball cap onto his head: "Xiao Qiao, don't come down. It's too hot out there, you're still weak... Hey, tomboy, walk with me."
Xi Lingzhou was furious: “Damn it! Why can't I take the car What gives me such different treatment!”
My brother grinned, “Come on, you don't want to see what's inside that black box Don't cry if I keep it for myself.”
"You—"." Jiang Qiyun praised with a hint of amusement, picked me up in his arms, and strode towards the backyard."Hey hey... you're not really doing that here, are you! This place is nice and all, but it's...
