After a meal, the guests and the host had a great time. After the "wine" was full, they went home to prepare things. I ate and drank. There was still business to do in the evening.
Sitting in the car, Xiao Di looked at Tan Xuan intently, as if he was looking at something new, with a very puzzled expression.
Tan Xuan was offended and asked: "What are you looking at? I have something on my face, but I still haven't seen a handsome man?"
Xiao Di curled his lips and said: "You don't have anything on your face, and you don't think you are handsome. I just stared at you. I haven't known you for a day or two, but I am just curious about why Old Qiu Tou treats you with such respect.
, it’s obvious that you are asking for something from him, and after dinner he would rather take a taxi back than let you see him off, what is going on?”
Tan Xuan chuckled, "He was polite to me. Maybe he was impressed by my charm and didn't let me send it away. He was probably afraid that I would visit his home."
"Fart!" Xiao Di curled his lips and made a retching gesture, "Ouch..."
"You are really shameless and talkative. You have such charisma. If Old Qiu Tou hadn't given me a chance to tell you, I would have made it clear to him your purpose this time. Why are you doing it for others?
For the sake of your Jiang Yingyue, how can you be so noble? Why are you so shameless..."
There was no one else around, and Xiao Di scolded Tan Xuanhao because he was still drunk.
"If you see through it, don't tell me. There are still things friends can do. Thank you for holding back and saving my face. Just take a rest and I'll take you home right away."
It is senseless to argue with a woman, because there is no chance of winning. It is even more senseless to argue with a drunk woman, because if you don't win the argument, it may be dangerous. Tan Xuan should learn now and take the initiative directly
Flatter and don't give Xiao Di a chance to lose his temper.
"Take me home, who told you I was going home?" Xiao Di looked at Tan Xuan and asked. "Don't even think about leaving me and secretly going out with Lao Qiutou at night. I'm not going anywhere today.
I’m determined to follow you. I must participate in tonight’s action.”
Tan Xuan said helplessly: "When did I say I won't let you go? You have to go back and rest for a while now. I'm busy at night, so I have to go back and rest for a while to recharge my batteries."
"I'm not going back. I'm going to sleep at your house. Jiang Yingyue has moved to your house anyway, so I won't be left alone..."
Tan Xuan wanted to explain, but Xiao Di didn't listen at all. There was no other way. Tan Xuan could only drag Xiao Di back to his home. He would be really busy at night and he needed to rest well in advance. Fortunately, his house was big enough.
It's so big that no one can influence anyone.
It was getting late, and Jiang Yingyue called to tell her that the work unit had held a welcome party for her and that she would be late when she came back. She asked Tan Xuan not to worry about her dinner. Jiang Yingyue just hung up the phone, and Qian Bo also called.
He came over and said that he invited Tan Xuan to come and play with him.
Tan Xuan had no time to join in the fun with them, so he refused Qian Bo's invitation directly and resolutely. At the same time, he asked Qian Bo to send Jiang Yingyue back after the show, even if it was just downstairs.
Jiang Yingyue didn't come back to eat, but Tan Xuan needed to eat, not to mention that there was one more person waiting for food at home at this time, so the food that should be cooked still had to be done, and there was more to do. Although the one who ate at noon
It was a lot, but he couldn't help but drink more, and he went out to clear his stomach in the meantime. If he cooked less, it wouldn't be enough for him alone. One pot of rice, two dishes, enough for two people to eat.
Haishi starts at eleven o'clock at night, when everything is quiet and people disappear. It is a good time for ghosts to look for people and people to look for ghosts. Because Haishi is the time for casting spells, Tan Xuan and Xiao Di arrived at the appointment at around ten o'clock
location, and was much more proactive than when I participated in Su Cheng’s activities before.
The meeting place agreed upon by Tan Xuan and Lao Qiu Tou was by the river, because that was the focus of Wang Dongxue's life and the starting point of ghost life. In order to find the guy behind the scenes, Tan Xuan was not afraid of trouble. Dashuang started to trace Wang Dongxue from the moment he became a ghost.
See where she has been.
Not long after Tan Xuan turned off the car, Old Qiu Tou came to the river. Old Qiu Tou was still dressed as yesterday, with a bag slung across his body and sunglasses. He was not dressed like an expert. If he held a stick, he would be blind.
When he saw Tan Xuan's car, Lao Qiu Tou walked a few steps closer to the car.
"Mr. Tan, you're here. I'm sorry to keep you waiting."
"It's okay, I just arrived." Tan Xuan unlocked the door and let Lao Qiu get in the car.
"Are you all ready?"
Old Qiu Tou patted the yellow cloth bag and said confidently: "Everything is ready. Please open your eyes."
As he said that, Lao Qiu Tou took out a compass with a square outside and a circle inside, a mini Luban ruler, some talisman paper and miscellaneous things from his bag. On the Tianchi of the compass was a small Tai Chi pattern with a pointer on it.
In addition to the five elements, eight trigrams, heavenly stems and earthly branches engraved on the outer disk, there are also cross red longitude and latitude lines, and there is also a 360-degree angle scale on the disk. Although the Luban ruler is not big, the numbers on it are even more densely packed, Xiao Di
Out of curiosity, she only slightly recognized a few of them when she brought them to her eyes. In the middle of the night, she doubted whether Old Qiu Tou could see the words on them. As for whether he could see them clearly, she didn't even dare to think about it.
Watching Old Qiu Tou keep taking things out, Xiao Di kept wondering how big the bag was, because the things he took out were obviously much larger than that bag, and she remembered that there were wine gourds and those things in the bag.
What about the cockroach poison and rat poison used in setting up stalls?
Finally, Lao Qiu Tou stopped taking things out of his bag, and at this time, the back seats in the car were already full.
Old Qiu Tou proudly asked Tan Xuan, "Mr. Tan, have I prepared all these things?"
Tan Xuan smiled and nodded, jokingly: "It's quite complete. It seems that you have not only set up a stall these years, but also collected rags. Where did you get all these?"
Xiao Di secretly poked at Tan Xuan. It was a bit too rude to be sarcastic when asking for help.
Old Qiu Tou laughed out loud. Under his sunglasses, he didn't know if he saw Xiao Di's little moves. "I have collected them all over the years. They are all personal hobbies. I didn't expect that they would be useful today."
After the laughter, Lao Qiu Tou and Tan Xuan asked tentatively: "Mr. Tan, there are few people and few cars now, how about we start."
Tan Xuan nodded, "Okay, let's start. Under the bridge in front is where Wang Dongxue's Soul Journey begins. The rest is up to you."
"Don't worry, I will do my best." With that said, Lao Qiutou opened the door and got out of the car.
Xiao Di was stunned and looked at Tan Xuan, who was about to get off the car, and asked, "Is it starting now? Didn't you say you have to wait until Haishi? It's not the time yet."
"It's now, there's no jet lag in this thing." Tan Xuan got out of the car and closed the door with a snap, leaving Xiao Di sitting in the car without reacting.
"Is there still jet lag in this thing?" Xiao Di muttered and hurriedly got out of the car and followed.
Old Qiu Tou walked to the bridge, looked around, and finally stood where Wang Dongxue's car crashed into the river. Tan Xuan did not get on the bridge, but just watched from a distance. In fact, he also liked to watch the excitement.
But he only sees the excitement of capable people, and he doesn't bother to look at people like Ge Youming who are worse than liars.
"How did he know that's where the accident happened?" Xiao Di asked, standing next to Tan Xuan.
Tan Xuan snorted and said: "The aura of the place where something went wrong is different. People who understand can tell it at a glance. There is nothing surprising. Only people who seem to understand but don't understand or are liars can do anything and mobilize people."
With that said, Tan Xuan turned around and took off the sandalwood beads around his neck again and handed them to Xiao Di, "I don't know what will happen in a while, but I know you won't go back if I advise you. You can still wear this, you have a flexible mind."
Just stay away from me if you need anything."
Xiao Di nodded, said "hmm" softly, reached out to take the sandalwood beads and put them on his chest, not daring to raise his head to look at Tan Xuan.
Seeing Xiao Di's uncharacteristic behavior, Tan Xuan was very puzzled, but he held back his curiosity and did not ask. Instead, he pointed at Old Qiu Tou on the bridge and said, "Don't you want to record the material? Old Qiu Tou is about to perform a spell. You
Why don’t you take out those video recordings of yours?”
"Who said I didn't take it out? I've already prepared it." Xiao Di snorted, still not looking directly at Tan Xuan, and directly buckled the sunglasses stuck on his head on his glasses.
"Your glasses..."
Tan Xuan was not a fool. When he saw Xiao Di, he also imitated Lao Qiu Tou by wearing sunglasses in the middle of the night. Lao Qiu Tou wore glasses because of his own reasons. His left eye was not suitable for seeing light and he had no choice but to wear them. But Xiao Di, she
There's nothing wrong with his body. It's obviously a problem with his glasses. Taking a closer look, Tan Xuan found something different on the beam of his glasses. He didn't look carefully during the day, but now he discovered that there was a hidden camera there. At this time
Only then did I understand why she had been wearing such a pair of glasses. She was already ready for feelings.
Before Tan Xuan finished speaking, Old Qiu Tou on the bridge had already made a move. Tan Xuan hurriedly signaled Xiao Di to look over there. He saw Old Qiu Tou holding a yellow talisman in his hand, slowly folding it into something like a thousand pieces of paper.
He took out a handful of hair from his sleeve and tied one around the bird's neck.
"Is he holding Wang Dongxue's hair?" Xiao Di asked in a low voice.
"Hmm." Tan Xuan remained motionless, just humming and motioning for Xiao Di to continue reading.
Old Qiu Tou put away the rest of his hair and squatted down, pressed the little bird made of a yellow talisman onto the ground, rubbed it, and then threw it directly into the air.
"this……"
Xiao Di was suddenly stunned on the spot, because the wings of the little bird made of yellow paper suddenly burst into flames, and then the fire engulfed the little bird without falling, and turned into flying ash and quietly scattered in the night.
However, after throwing away his hand, Old Qiu Tou returned the same way with his hands behind his back, paying no attention to what happened next and seemed to have no concern at all.
Xiao Di was confused. She didn't know what Old Qiu Tou was going to do. Why did he come back when he had nothing? She was quite puzzled.
"Mr. Tan, let's go." Old Qiu Tou walked up to Tan Xuan and said respectfully.
"Okay, now it's all up to you to show the way. Get in the car." Tan Xuan also responded politely.
Lao Qiu got on the car, and Tan Xuan also got on the car. Only Xiao Di was a little slower to react, but he followed closely. Xiao Di knew that the show was about to begin, and he had to follow closely at this time, without any slack.
, Tan Xuan will not wait for her.
After Old Qiu Tou sat firmly, he picked up the compass and held it in his left hand. He took out a talisman in his right hand and stuck it on the back of the compass. Then he bit the tip of his middle finger and smeared the blood on the latitude and longitude lines of the compass, and finally on the Tai Chi pattern of Tianchi.
"Chase!"
At random, Lao Qiu roared, and a red light suddenly flashed on the compass, and then the pointer on it suddenly started to rotate automatically, very fast. After a few turns, the pointer suddenly stopped again, as if it was being beaten.
It was like pressing down suddenly.
Old Qiu Tou looked at the pointer and said to Tan Xuan: "Drive along the road, it's heading southeast."
Tan Xuan did not hesitate, stepped on the accelerator, and the car suddenly jumped out.
"Who is it?" Xiao Di was stunned for a moment, guessing that it might be the paper bird that turned into ashes just now.
"stop!"
The car had just passed a few intersections when Old Qiutou called out to Tan Xuan again.
"It paused here, now it's turning to the right, it's going that way."
So Tan Xuan hurriedly turned on the turn signal, turned right, and then followed Old Qiu Tou's instructions to go straight and turn.
Gradually, a smile appeared on Tan Xuan's face, and he was the first to determine the route before Old Qiu Tou gave the next instructions.
"Mr. Tan, how did you know it was coming this way?" Old Qiu Tou was surprised and puzzled by Tan Xuan's ability to predict the unknown.
Before Tan Xuan could pretend to be sophisticated, Xiao Di, who was in the passenger seat, directly broke the news and said, "Because he is familiar with this road. He has walked it several times in the past few days."
Xiao Di was right. Not only was Tan Xuan familiar with the route they took, but she was also familiar with it, because it was the direction to Wang Dongxue and Jiang Yingyue's dormitory.
