……………………………………………………………………
At noon, a group of people from the villa came down the mountain. However, except for the three outsiders, everyone only remembered the male vixen who caused trouble last night. It was the same weird thing as in the village, and the rest had no memory.
After settling down in Xiaoxia, Wan Li and Ruan Zhan immediately started investigating, and then came back at night to summarize and analyze the intelligence obtained. Finally, it was discovered that the person who caused the "vixen" in the family was actually the person who once built a house in City A. Because those things were great achievements for this small mountain village that was very poor at the time, they are still proud of them now, and they were easily investigated.
"Guess who is the girl in the last family?"
"The waitress in the villa." Ruan Zhan answered without thinking.
"Has anyone ever said that you are annoying?" Wan Li looked out the window at the dark sky, "Can't you pretend you don't know? It makes me feel a little proud of myself, and being recognized by others is also a psychological need! ”
"It's obvious that we went to the villa after the three Japanese. They wouldn't know it beforehand, so he must not be doing it for us, but to fulfill the kid's wish. If there wasn't someone special there , the kid just needs to hide on the side of the mountain and go to the village to pervert at night. There is no need to take risks even if he knows we are coming. Doing something desperately, whether it is good for people or ghosts, is all obsession."
"By the way, I remembered what you said." Wan Li said, "Yesterday Xiaoxia said that the kid went to scare her, and there were some stumps that looked like intestines hanging on the eaves. I was thinking, it was It’s not that the snow girl turned up to deceive Xiaoxia, otherwise there’s no way to explain why the kid appeared at her place and molested the girl at the same time.”
"It seems you are not stupid."
"Can an idiot find out so much information?" Wan Li rubbed his chin, "I talked so much all afternoon that my jaw dropped."
"It's a pity that those people can't explain the things about their ancestors." Ruan Zhan ignored Wanli's complaints and focused all his attention on this matter, "It's no wonder, if there was really any secret back then, The person involved at that time would have let this matter be buried with death, so how could he tell the children and grandchildren of future generations? This is human nature, and it seems that we want to keep it simple."
"That's not necessarily the case." Wan Li said, "At least we know that the kid must be related to that house and the people in this village. We can find a way to prevent him from retaliating and hurting others."
"Don't worry about this. The little devil was seriously injured yesterday. If it hadn't been for the sudden attack by the snow girl, it wouldn't even be able to escape. I just walked around the village and there was no ghost or evil spirit. They are here. People have ideas about us, and they are currently observing from the outside. As long as I am here, I will not allow them to do whatever they want."
"I'm afraid, you have to protect me!" Wan Li said with a playful smile, and then returned to the topic, "But our defense is not an option. Do you have any plans?"
Ruan Zhan didn't say anything, and just took out a crumpled piece of paper.
"What is this?" Wan Li took the paper and pinched his nose, "What kind of strange smell is this." He opened the paper and saw that it was a painting drawn with a brush.
"Although I don't understand Chinese landscape painting, this painting is not very good. It has craftsmanship and is not everyone's work." Wan Li commented, "Is it you? I'm not talking about you. You have nothing to do but practice drawing. Just be you. I’m a seasoned person, learn from other people’s landscape paintings!”
"This is not mine, it's Xiaoxia——"
"What? It's Xiaoxia, so the painting is very good. After all, she was suffering from a high fever, so it should be considered good that she didn't turn the landscape painting upside down."
"You guys can make the most of it!" Ruan Zhan chuckled, "You can have eight explanations for one thing. I want to hear how you rounded off your words after knowing the truth."
"You just said this was painted by Xiaoxia. I also wanted to complain that you didn't stare at her and have a good rest. What kind of painting were you painting!"
"Which of your ears heard me say that it was Xiaoxia's painting? Before I finished speaking, you rushed to flatter me. She is asleep now and can't hear your compliment." Ruan Zhan said and looked at it. Glancing at the door of the room.
This is Uncle Yan's house. It is a newly built two-story building. It is grand and spacious. It also uses a homemade small heating stove. They were arranged to live in the guest room on the second floor. Because Uncle Yan and Xiao Xia were sick, the house was very warm, so Wan Li and Ruan Zhan, who were standing in the small living room on the second floor, had to roll up their sleeves in their shirts.
"Is there another expert?" Wan Li looked at the piece of paper in his hand again.
"When we were going down the mountain at noon, didn't Xiaoxia disappear for a while?"
"Yes!" Wan Li sighed, "I really want to spank her for being so disobedient, otherwise why would her illness relapse! She was frozen from the inside out on the mountain, even if I am Miao Hand Ren My heart cannot recover for a day or two."
Ruan Zhan felt a little distressed when he thought of Xiaoxia's illness, and couldn't help but frown habitually.
"What does her disappearance have to do with this piece of paper?"
"She said that in many of the cases she has handled, evidence was found from inconspicuous places, even trash cans, so——"
"She went to dig through the trash can?" Wan Li interrupted Ruan Zhan again, "Her status in Changkong Law Firm is similar to that of a lawyer like a tea girl. It is not her turn to handle big cases. She is from You saw it on TV! You believe it too!"
"It's a miracle that she hasn't been sold as a piggy yet." Ruan Zhan nodded in agreement.
"Let's put it this way, she is a first-class student, but has very little life experience. She is an overprotected hothouse flower. She looks smart but is actually - I don't know how to describe it. I just wonder why people like her He has repeatedly been involved in such supernatural events."
"But this time she made a meritorious service! As I said, she was born with good luck." Ruan Zhan reached for the piece of paper, walked to the coffee table, and unfolded the paper.
The ink on the paper is a little blurry, but at first glance it looks like an ordinary landscape painting.
"This is not an ordinary painting." Ruan Zhan explained to the confused Wan Li, "You know the Japanese have a problem. Everything must be hidden under complicated patterns. Kenji Okamura's red paint That's what wooden boxes are like. They think they're so elegant, but in fact it's not only troublesome and unnecessary, but also petty and disrespectful."
"Using beautiful things to cover up ugly purposes is inherently perverted, and even being a bad guy is not fun." Wan Li completed Ruan Zhan's words and saw him taking out a red pen to trace the painting as he spoke. Several parts of it. Gradually, a strange talisman appeared on the piece of rotten paper, a bit like a chain, but also like a snake with its head and tail attached.
"It turns out to be a charm, but it's hard to find!"
"Yes, I wouldn't have noticed it normally. The charm is well hidden in the painting and is not easy to detect." Ruan Zhan said, "But Xiaoxia ran to that house before we set off from the villa. The Japanese were digging through the trash and accidentally found this. I think even if the Japanese always like to recite poems and paint elegantly before doing evil things to show their 'nobility', but maybe there are other reasons? So, This is the result of my observation for an afternoon."
"Is this why you only visited one house and left all the rest to me? Well, I forgive you. However, this little Japanese is really hardworking. He just practices drawing talismans when he has nothing to do. He is more dedicated than you."
Ruan Zhan thanked him without sincerity and pretended not to hear the attack that followed.
"Don't thank me yet, what does this have to do with that kid?"
“I remember that when you were in college, you studied human memory issues. You said that there is a kind of thing that you subconsciously store in your memory after seeing it, but you always ignore it because it has no physical connection. It's in your mind, but it's like it's not there. You won't notice it at all. Once the conditions are right, you will immediately combine this deep memory and draw a very certain conclusion, which is what we often call aura. A flash——"
"Listen, say it!" Wan Li urged Ruan Zhan to stop.
"When I was in City A, I carefully investigated the house and found nothing. But I discovered something strange when I was in the basement. I just passed it through my mind at the time. Today I saw this picture The painting just clicked. The basement of the love hotel was damp and dark, which was incompatible with the cleanliness and beauty of the whole house, especially the wall on the shaded side. Due to its age and disrepair, coupled with the moisture from not seeing sunlight for many years, it became white and white. The wall has become a flower wall. The important thing is that the patterns on the wall are very unique, as if they were faintly revealed from the inside after the wall became thinner, and - it is very similar to this charm, but due to the half-shade and half-darkness, it cannot be seen. I could see it clearly. I thought at the time, this really looks like a charm!"
"But you didn't think about that then, right?" Wan Li took over, "People always ignore the things they are most familiar with, and sometimes they even think they are neurotic. So what is the use of this charm?"
"It is used to calm spirits! It can even suppress all ghosts and yin energies!"
"So what are your conclusions?"
"Not yet, but the matter will be revealed soon." Ruan Zhan said while looking out the window.
Out the window, it was a clear moonlit night after snow, cold and bright.
He has arranged a simple formation around the village. If an evil object enters, the spell will be ignited, then the village will be alarmed, and he will have the opportunity to catch ghosts. However, he believed that this was just a cautious defense, because the chances of the Imps and Japanese attacking tonight were slim.
Not to mention that the kid's soul had already been damaged after he used a hotel pillow to suppress him last time, and the mental power of Okamura Kenji who swallowed him could not be fully integrated. Let's just say that this time he hit him with a fire seal. It cannot be recovered quickly.
When the shikigami is injured, the master will also be injured. Because of the three snow girls, two were slightly injured and one was seriously injured. It is conservatively estimated that one Japanese will be bedridden. They should not have the energy to find trouble. After all, the Japanese give people the impression that they want to keep this kid, because although the kid is currently lacking in abilities, he is the type who can cultivate into a high-level shikigami. This is rarely seen in modern society, and the Japanese will definitely not give up easily.
The question is where did the three Japanese go? It's really hard to find them if they become invisible. Also, what is their relationship with Yang Muyou?
As if he had a spiritual connection with Ruan Zhan, Wan Li suddenly asked, "Are there any women in Japanese Onmyoji?"
"This is an ancient sect that has been passed down for a long time. It should not exist. But there are many secrets in it, who knows!"
"I have to remind you that these three Japanese pretended to be a family, an old man, and a young couple. If a woman cannot be an onmyoji, there may only be two, and the woman is either useless, or It's just another piece of chess."
"I know, but——"
Before Ruan Zhan finished speaking, the sound of dogs barking suddenly came from the village.
"I heard someone say -" Wan Li believed that Ruan Zhan had already prepared his defense, so he was not in a hurry, "Dogs are like this, biting people hard, biting slowly, and biting slowly. This sound It sounds like it's tight for a while, slow for a while, neither tight nor slow for a while, what is this biting about?"
"Maybe it's a dead person!" Ruan Zhan said, "Let me go and take a look. You guard Xiaoxia."
