Seven Evil Slips

Without explaining an operation manual, rules of use, and taboos, just laugh and leave? Cao Yanhua was furious, why didn't Qingniu knock him off his back and throw him to death?

Suddenly, he had a thought and shouted: "I see, it was the wolf who opened the Phoenix Luan buckle!"

The more I thought about it, the more I was right: "I said that no one can open the Phoenix Luan buckle, but I didn't say that no wolf can open the Phoenix Luan buckle!"

How can I explain it that way? Luo Ren couldn't laugh or cry.

The magic stick was furious at the other end: "I said that there is no one, and the implication includes wolves!"

"but…"

"No, but it seems cool for me to say that. Cool people always speak concisely. For example, those who follow me prosper and those who oppose me perish. Do we need to emphasize that people who follow me, pigs, dogs, and wolves all prosper? Is that so? Long-winded, is it cool?"

Are all experts so preposterous? Cao Yanhua felt aggrieved.

Fortunately, Kiyo stood by his side: "But, now it seems that the Phoenix Luan buckle has indeed been opened."

The magic stick does not deny this: "It is opened, but it must not be a human being or a wolf."

That is...not a man, not a wolf? The mighty figure of a werewolf appeared in Cao Yanhua's mind.

But... Forget it, he didn't dare to say it.

It was Luo Ren who broke the silence: "Then look at this painting again. I can understand the mountains and rivers. It is said that Hangu Pass is connected to the Qinling Mountains in the south and the Yellow River in the north. The painting may use the terrain of mountains and rivers to point out Hangu Pass. Ji Jian and Fenghuang Luankou are also clear, but this wolf or dog..."

The magic stick showed the same straightforwardness as Luo Renmuyo before: "I don't know this wolf, and I won't guess. Guessing is based on evidence, and you can't guess wildly."

Kiyo tapped and tapped on the armrest of the sofa: Hmm, you can't make wild guesses, you have character.

Luo Ren nodded: "Okay, let's ignore the wolf for now, and use the existing information to deal with what happened."

In this way, the source of the matter is far from the "Hangu Pass" with a question mark.

Luo Ren continued to lead the line with a marker pen, and stopped when he reached the edge of the wall. At the beginning, he wrote "the first seven murders, tortoise shell and animal bones".

After a while, write "unlucky, wait for a great virtuous person to be born and seal", and after another paragraph, write "Yin Xi, Hangu Pass, Lao Tzu, Fenghuang Luankou, and seven evil slips".

In this way, it is integrated with the previously speculated picture frame, but Luo Ren's pen stopped at a point in the middle, paused, and put a huge question mark.

"From the later description, it can be seen that Zhang Guanghua is an ordinary person. He is not a big villain, nor can he be called a great virtue. So I think that he does not have the ability to open the Phoenix Luan buckle. Before him, someone else went first. Open."

Kiyo nodded: "Zhang Guanghua was just the first one to come into contact with it."

The magic stick coughed on the other end of the phone: "He may not be the first to come into contact with it. Don't forget, there are seven fierce slips, and only one is brought out by Zhang Guanghua. Zhang Guanghua is just the first one you come into contact with." .”

Ten thousand eyes fell on the basin of water: "So, there are still six pieces of human skin?"

"Hey, this little brother's voice sounds strange, who is this?"

ear health? Ten thousand three deeply felt the shame of being ignored: "I have spoken before, when you asked how many fierce Janes there are, I was the one who answered, seven!"

Really, maybe I was too excited at the time, so I didn't pay attention, the magic stick was very happy: "What's the name?"

"Everyone calls me Thirteen."

"Alright little Sansan, let's continue to the topic."

Forget about the little three, and give him two for three! Ten thousand three was exasperated, but the topic has moved on.

"I didn't know the inside story before, and I used human skin instead when I said it, but now I want to correct it. There is no human skin, only the fierce Jane. How should I put it, it is not the Jane that is ominous..."

It's like a ghost possessing a lamp. People who are frightened will only describe "that terrible ghost lamp" in horror. The lamp is so innocent, but no one will separate the two, and they will only look at the lamp and run away.

"The seven ominous powers have no shape, and no one has really seen them. It's just that Lao Tzu quoted them on the wooden slips, so later generations called them fierce slips. I guess, it was trapped in the wooden slips for too long, so Even if it escapes, it habitually still has the shape of a wooden slip. When possessing the body, it will naturally protrude from under the skin in the shape of a wooden slip. When it is in a hurry to leave the human body, the way it walks is... rough."

Kiyo continued: "So those people have wounds on their backs?"

"Yeah, take off a piece of skin."

Cao Yanhua broke the casserole and asked: "Then why is it on the back, not on the face, or on the arms?"

The magic stick was impatient: "It's not too small, it needs a relatively flat display space."

"Well, it's fine on the legs..."

Cao Yanhua stretched out his plump legs to look around, and even gestured with his hands. The space is large enough, and there is no problem with the two fierce slips.

Luo Ren signaled him not to get to the bottom of it: "If you regard Ji Jian as a person, it probably has its own preferences, just like a serial killer, it always has characteristic behaviors."

The magic stick laughed loudly: "Little Luobo, you are really in my heart. This is the scary thing about this matter! Do you remember when I said that the fierce Jane is alive?"

Kiyo murmured in his heart: Why do you say the "terrifying thing" in such a laughing tone, this magic stick is really...

"No one knows what it looks like. It's just an invisible force, or maybe it's just a breath. In the Southern Song Dynasty, Wen Tianxiang wrote a song "Song of Righteousness". The opening line said, "Heaven and earth have righteousness, mixed with manifolds, The bottom is the river and the mountains, and the top is the sun and stars', which means that righteousness is everywhere, filling the heaven and the earth, in various forms."

Luo Ren's face suddenly changed, Kiyo looked at him curiously, Luo Ren smiled and motioned her to continue listening.

"From this, it is speculated that the fierce slip may also be like this, it is alive. It does not necessarily have to be possessed, nor does it necessarily have the shape of the wooden slip. You don't know if it has the ability to think, and you don't know whether it communicates with each other. But I'm almost sure that the other ones are different from this one, and may even become smarter because of this one's being trapped. Continue to attach to people? A piece of skin is missing on the back? No, no, no, they will be more intelligent. Good at hiding."

Cao Yanhua suddenly shuddered: "Alive, alive?"

The living ones still communicate with each other, so does it hold grudges?

Cao Yanhua looked at Wansan: "Brother Sansan, you... you burned it with fire!"

Yiwansan was worried for a long time. Hearing what Cao Yanhua said, he felt as if he had been stepped on. He didn't even care about being called "Brother Sansan": "I burned it, what about you, didn't you?" Smash it with a cup?"

Kiyo gave himself a sigh of relief, and said silently: "I'm fine, I didn't do anything..."

Luo Ren reminded her softly: "Kiyo, you carried it with a water basin."

Kiyo's reaction was even more intense than that of Izuan: "What about you, you stabbed it with a knife."

Luo Ren was angry with her: "Muyo, that's not poking, it's pricking."

…

The magic stick listened to it at the other end with elation, and was so happy to watch the fun without buying a ticket. What scene is there at the other end? Cao Pangpang must have fought with Xiao Sansan, and as for the little pocket, he must have pulled Xiao Luobo's hair...

Look, just when there is a little danger, they are eager to shirk each other. These few people are not familiar with each other. This is not the kind of friendship that has passed fate. If you are in danger, come to help as soon as possible.

The magic stick suddenly missed his friends.

He heard Luo Ren say: "Okay, it's already happened. It's because of me. If I can stop it for you, I will do my best. I just don't know if it will agree or not."

it? which is it

What Luo Ren pointed to was the basin of water, and the piece that sank in the water... fierce Jane.

Ten thousand was dejected: "Forget it, I can't run away, and there must be one less."

Looking left and right without paying attention, he suddenly approached the basin of water, gnashing his teeth: "There is also the one on the other end of the phone, called Shenzhu, don't miss him."

When he looked up, he saw Kiyo's contemptuous eyes.

Ten thousand shrugged indifferently, what's the matter, Wen Xiang got off the horse and went to bed in the dark, dead friends never die poor, this is my virtue.

The **** stick said: "You don't have to be too nervous, there is something that can check and balance the seven evil sticks."

Luo Ren thought for a moment: "Phoenix Luan buckle?"

Even knowing that Luo Ren and the others couldn't see, Shen stick nodded: "Phoenix Luan deducted the power of gold and fire, they were still auspicious birds of heaven at that time, and they actually represented the power to fight against evil spirits. I have a bold idea. speculation."

"As we said before, the punishment of the murderer comes from another force, which may be the five elements represented by the Phoenix Luan buckle. The Phoenix Luan buckle has held the murder slips for thousands of years. The remaining power of this force must still be there, and it is impossible to completely eliminate."

"Both Liu Shuhai and Luo Wenmiao had their left feet cut off, and cutting off their feet was an ancient punishment. Please note that in ancient times, tools were relatively simple, such as stone knives and stone axes, which could not be cut as sharply as modern crafts. This can explain why The severed wound was **** and uneven."

So, is it the power of Phoenix Luan's buckle that is restraining it?

Luo Ren smiled and looked at Muyo: "Look, it's not that scary. Everything checks and balances each other. There are black and white, yin and yang."

Cao Yanhua continued: "Well, if there are seven fierce slips, there will be a phoenix clasp."

Ten thousand three suddenly thought of something: "Then the water shadow I painted..."

The magic stick nodded again: "The water shadow should come from the power of the Phoenix Luankou. The fierce slips will only hide in every possible way, and it is impossible to remind you what they are. I think it is the Phoenix Luankou who wants to re-seal the seven fierce slips."

Kiyo couldn't help it: "Where is the Phoenix Luankou now?"

The magic stick laughed: "Who knows, just like the other six evil slips, they are somewhere in this world, just stay there."

He suddenly lowered his voice: "However, maybe, like the seven evil slips, they are also eyeing you. The meeting is a fate. The shadow on the water surface is so secret, why didn't you discover it and draw it?"

Everyone's eyes fell on Ten Thousand Thirteen.

Ten thousand hehe laughed twice, and laughed twice again, the laugh was uglier than crying.

After hanging up the phone, Kiyo realized that time had passed so quickly, and the sunset sunlight cast on the wall was now only a thin line.

She turned her head to look at Luo Ren, Luo Ren felt her gaze and turned her head to smile.

"What are you thinking?"

"I'm wondering what this murder case is."

Cao Yanhua murmured: "No matter what it is, I think it is absolutely impossible to wear people like puppets with strings. Ancient people are simple..."

After sensing everyone's contempt, he changed his words: "Primitive people, expressing their feelings are more straightforward. If they want to kill you, they will throw a stone on your head. How can they have the time to engage in performance art?" , with this energy, it’s better to roast a wild boar and eat it.”

Leading wild boar? hunt?

Luo Ren's heart skipped a beat: "Muyo, that song that Pin Ting sang."

Broken Bamboo, Continued Bamboo, Flying Soil, and Chasing Bamboo.

It was a hunting song.

Could it be, describing what is about to happen, or the scene before it happened?

Go to cut wild bamboos, connect them to make bows, shoot mud bombs, and hunt for food together.

And then, what happened, the scramble? In that era of scarcity of resources, food was more valuable than everything else. Maybe some people were no longer satisfied with sharing everything with the clan and tribe, and there was a dispute over the distribution of prey, or maybe two people shot the same beast together. They didn't agree with each other, and raised their knives at each other.

The murder scene of the fishing line puppet, raising a knife, dodging, and someone with two arms outstretched to dissuade it, is so similar to the scene that happened at that time.

There was always a person raising the knife ferociously, and the word "sword" in oracle bone inscriptions once appeared on the found fierce slip.

Regardless of whether this murder was caused by anger, greed or possession, there was only one result: the tool that was originally made to open up space, obtain food and protect oneself in a difficult living environment fell on the same kind.

And a long, long time later, hundreds of thousands of years later, when human society gradually overcomes the harsh natural environment and no longer needs to drink blood to build a nest...

In the quiet afternoon or night without people, dense clusters of fishing lines, one by one, pull out the scene of the past.

The past is never dead, it is not even past.

Can fierce Jane be trapped in a basin of water? For the time being, it will always come out, just like a fire that was lit at that time. When the fire was burning, the fierce Jane remained flat and still, but as soon as the fire was extinguished, it immediately revived.

It used to lie dormant at the bottom of a river in the outskirts of Datong for fifteen years, but it was a mountainous river. I don't know if there is something mysterious at the bottom of the river.

According to the last "wonderful" idea of ​​the magic stick, Cao Yanhua went to the yard to dig a small pot of soil, poured it all into the water basin, Luo Ren found a wooden box, carefully put the water basin in, covered the box, Tie it up with the usual iron chains used in car dealerships, and finally said: "Let me draw a phoenix on the box, it should represent fire."

Iron chains, wooden boxes, water, painted phoenixes, and soil are the simple versions of gold, wood, water, fire, and soil.

At least, before the second stalk is about to move, it can be barely blocked for a while.

Luo Ren was finally able to go to the hospital to see Pin Ting with peace of mind. The car just started when he stopped again.

Kiyo was wondering, Luo Ren pushed down the window and waved to her.

Kiyo walked over suspiciously.

"Kiyo, do you want to go together?"

Together? No need, Kiyo smiled awkwardly: "I...don't know her well, your family...give me a greeting and wish her a speedy recovery."

Luo Ren smiled: "Pin Ting is insane, it won't take too long to see her. We can go for a ride after we get out of the hospital."

Another ride? Take a night ride? Kiyo had lingering fears in his heart: "No, I appreciate your kindness. I don't want to ride in your car for the rest of my life."

This answer seemed to be expected by Luo Ren, he suddenly leaned over and whispered a few words in her ear.

The warm breath brushed against the ear, itching, Kiyo's eyes gradually lit up, and he asked Luo Ren in doubt: "Really, can it be done at night?"

Luo Ren nodded: "Also."

The car drove away again, but this time, it took Kiyo with it.

Cao Yanhua looked at it sourly, and chattered to Yiwan, who was sitting beside him drawing a box, "Brother Sansan, let me tell you, the first time I met my younger sister, Little Master, was in Chongqing Liberation The river-crossing cableway of the stele, at that time, I hadn’t reformed myself…”

It's as if he has reformed himself now, who doesn't leave the whole set of lockpicking tools? Ten thousand three ignored him, and drew on the box on his own.

Cao Yanhua continued to babble: "I wanted to steal something from her, but in the end, Sister Mushiro really listened to six ways and saw all directions, as if she had eyes on her back, and she shot like lightning..."

He was still gesticulating, pinching his **** together fiercely: "Just grabbed me. I pretended to be calm at the time, thinking to myself, **** it, this is too cool..."

"The result..." He sighed, "She looks so smart and capable, why every time I come to Luo Ren, I think a piece of candy can trick her away..."

Ten thousand three pushed Cao Yanhua: "Brother Cao."

"Um?"

Cao Yanhua turned his head and saw that Wan San was holding a marker pen, the tip of which was worn out: "Luo Ren's pen is not easy to use, so go out and help with errands, buy colored pens, gold ones are best..."

He pointed at the box with pride: "I'll draw a golden phoenix, a fire phoenix, the fire is unavoidable. Hurry up."

Well, there is no one else in this room to order, Cao Yanhua patted his buttocks and stood up: "You wait."

He stomped towards the gate.

The moment Cao Yanhua's back disappeared at the door, the expression on Wansan's face suddenly collapsed. After sitting in a daze for a while, he took out a folded drawing paper from his arms, and slowly flattened it open.

At that time, in the middle of the night, he drew a picture and tore it off with a squeak. Luo Ren was startled and asked him, "What's wrong?"

In the dark, his hand holding the pen trembled, but his voice remained calm, and he replied, "The drawing is useless."
