In the late winter afternoon, the breeze is gentle.
The bright sunshine was shining down wantonly, and countless light dust seemed to be flying in the air.
Qin Yao, Qiu Sheng, and Wen Cai lined up in the main room, standing in front of the table, each holding a brush in their hands, drawing runes one by one on the rice paper as white as snow.
Uncle Jiu was sitting on a chair at the door of the hall, holding a teapot in his arms, basking in the warm sunshine, squinting his eyes and feeling sleepy.
This weather and sunshine are perfect for taking a nap.
"Junior brother, there is still a lot of work waiting for me to deal with at the factory..." Wencai drew the holding charm absentmindedly and hesitated for a long time, but finally couldn't help but speak.
Qin Yao held his breath and concentrated, carefully drew the invisibility charm, and said lightly: "It's useless to tell me, you have to talk to the person at the door. Besides, you are busy, so I won't be busy?"
Wencai: "..."
After pricking up his ears to hear their conversation clearly, Qiu Sheng immediately gave up the idea of asking for mercy and tried to calm down, describing the magic talisman stroke by stroke.
Outside Renjia Town.
Cemetery.
Shi Shaojian stood on the top of a mountain with sparse green grass, looking at the figure below with gloomy eyes: "Junior Brother Song, this time, if you still can't give me any useful information, it will be really unjustifiable."
For some reason, just listening to his voice, Song Zhuo felt a sense of irritation in his heart. He suppressed it and said: "Brother, maybe I am not capable enough. I couldn't find it in the past, I can't find it now, and I may find it in the future.
No, please don’t call me over again in the future and waste our time.”
After saying that, without looking at Shi Shaojian's livid face, he flicked his sleeves, turned around, and strode down the mountain.
Shi Shaojian's heart was filled with murderous intent, and his eyes were filled with cold light.
But no matter how angry and annoyed he was, he would not dare to attack and kill his fellow disciples.
Everything has a cause and effect, and if there is a cause and effect, there are traces to follow.
Judging from the background of Maoshan, it is not that difficult to find out the cause and effect of a person, an event, or a period of time. Although their father and son's wanton hunting of ghosts is detrimental to their personal ethics, there is not much fault in the general sense. After all, it can be regarded as a crime.
Disguised ghost hunting.
Coupled with the blessing of the ancestors in Neimaozhong, no one will really bite them and won't let them go... This is the role of relationships, the power of connections.
But having said that, if he attacks his fellow disciples, then the first person to kill him will probably be their backers!
Shortly after.
Xu Sheng turned back three times at a time, carefully came to the top of the mountain, bowed his hands and said, "Senior Brother Shaojian."
Shi Shaojian exhaled a breath and looked into the other person's eyes: "Junior Brother Xu, Senior Brother, I have high hopes for you, you won't let me down, right?"
Xu Sheng blinked and said, "Thank you for your love, senior brother. I will be more serious and work harder to find Yizhuang's weaknesses in the future."
Shi Shaojian's expression changed, and he couldn't even hold back the fake smile on his lips: "In the future? When will it be in the future? How long do I have to wait?"
"Senior brother, don't be anxious. To achieve great things, the most important thing is patience. Even if we wait another year, two years, or three years, as long as we seize the weakness of Yizhuang's line and kill with one strike, this waiting will be meaningful.
." Xu Sheng said sincerely.
Shi Shaojian: "..."
Why does he feel like this guy is just lying to him?
"I can't wait that long. The Yizhuang Clan will fall apart in the near future! Junior Brother Xu, please do one thing for me."
Xu Sheng's heart skipped a beat and he whispered, "What's going on?"
"I asked people to place a large number of ghost papers produced outside at the Yuelai Inn in Renjia Town. You go and tell me your name, take out the ghost papers, bring them back to Yizhuang, and distribute them through Yizhuang's sales channels." Shi Shaojian instructed. .
Xu Sheng opened his mouth slightly and asked stammeringly: "Brother, are you serious?"
Shi Shaojian: "..."
What words?
How free do I have to be to joke with you?
"Brother, I'm sorry, I can't do this." Seeing that he acquiesced, Xu Sheng felt a chill in his heart, and could no longer maintain the smooth and sophisticated smile on his face: "Once Qin Yao finds out, I will die. And it will definitely die miserably. If you insist on forcing me to do this, you are forcing me to die!"
"As long as you do it covertly, how can he find out?" Shi Shaojian encouraged.
However, no matter what he said, Xu Sheng just shook his head: "Senior brother, you underestimate Qin Yao too much. He is not as simple as you think. I am sure that with him in Yizhuang, it would be better not to do this. You will be caught."
After his successive refusals, Shi Shaojian finally became angry and shouted: "I asked you to check for loopholes but you couldn't find them. It's even harder for you to do something than to reach the sky. After all, you are the spies placed by our master and apprentice in Yizhuang. Or are they the spies placed by Yizhuang beside our master and apprentice?"
Xu Sheng resigned himself to it, without being affected by the rebuke at all. He raised his hands and said, "Senior brother, do you have any other instructions? If not, junior brother, I will resign first."
Shi Shaojian looked at his leaving figure with a stern look, and said silently: "You are unfaithful, so don't blame me for being unjust..."
evening.
Qin Yao, who had drawn a whole pile of runes, hung up his brush, rubbed his wrist, raised his head and said to Uncle Jiu at the door: "Master, I've finished the drawing too."
Probably because Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai each only needed to draw one talisman, they ended their practice in the middle of the afternoon, and he was the only one left to draw it until now.
Uncle Jiu stood up and walked into the main room, looked at the talismans in front of him, and nodded slightly: "That's right, I didn't do it perfunctorily. You can go and have a rest. Come back for dinner later."
"Yes, Master." Qin Yao replied, walked away, and left the yard in the blink of an eye.
Happiness comes from contrast. After trying some additional practices like an initiation, it was too painful for him to draw the symbols one stroke at a time.
As the saying goes: I could have endured the darkness if I had never seen the light!
"Shao Ban." Just as he was relaxing, the Taoist priest from Maoshan with slightly rounded cheeks and a mustache slowly came to his side.
"Senior Brother Song Zhuo." Qin Yao nodded and said with a smile, "Do you have anything to do with me?"
Song Zhuo took a deep breath and said with determination: "Young Ban, I am the spy planted by Shi Jian and his apprentice in Yizhuang."
Qin Yao looked surprised.
I wasn't surprised that he was a spy, but I was surprised that he actually revealed it himself.
As if he had guessed what he was thinking, Song Zhuo immediately explained: "In Yizhuang, although we are busy and tired, the benefits are linked to the busyness and tiredness. In just one month, I have saved a lot of money." I couldn't save money in the past year.
In addition, both you and Uncle Lin sincerely regard me as a fellow disciple, not a subordinate who can come and go when called upon, let alone threaten me to do anything.
I have a sense of belonging to our Yizhuang and I no longer want to be a spy."
Qin Yao narrowed his eyes and asked, "Aren't you afraid that if you reveal it like this, I will feel grudge against you and even drive you out of Yizhuang?"
