Pseudo master, she just wants to live

Chapter 159 Hanging Mirror
Fang Yao was sitting on the plush cushion, the curtain of the car next to her was half drawn, thick smoke was rising from the mud cellar not far away, and when the north wind blew, it was blowing here.

"Cough cough..."

Fan Chen was choked by the smoke and coughed twice, he couldn't help frowning and asked, "What's burning outside, such a big smoke."

"For burning charcoal, there is nothing in Zhangxiang city now. It's too cold, so I need to use it on the way tomorrow."

Fang Yao said and closed the curtain, "You said you found the baby's parents?"

Fan Chen nodded. Although he was behind the light, the black and blue under his eyes were still very obvious.

"I found it. She is the youngest daughter of a fisherman's family in a small fishing village near Zhangxiang City. She is only six months old."

For each of Fang Yao's paintings, he asked the painters to copy a hundred of them, and pasted them on the post station and the boats on the Zhangxiang River.

Early this morning before dawn, a man rushed over, saying that he had seen the little girl on the most wanted list, and that his family had lost a child.

"The fisherman said that ten days ago when he was fishing in the morning, he met an eleven or twelve-year-old boy who seemed to be seriously ill, with red blood spots all over his face and neck, which looked very frightening."

"Wait, boy?"

Fang Yao hurriedly interrupted him, "The boy he mentioned is the little girl I drew?"

Fan Chen raised his eyelids and looked at her: "He said that except for the hairstyle, everything else is exactly the same."

"Ah..." Fang Yao was startled, "Can a Gu master be a man?"

"The Gu masters in Zhaonan are indeed mostly women, but there are also very few men who learn Gu."

Fan Chen pinched the bridge of his nose tiredly as he spoke, "Actually, up to now, I'm not sure whether the Gu master is a man or a woman, but I can be sure that he should have been backlashed by the killing Gu half a month ago."

The fisherman rescued him back, and in less than half a day, the blood spots on the boy's face and body disappeared.

But at night, the boy and his youngest daughter disappeared together, and a set of clothes for the second daughter disappeared. The family searched all over the village but could not find anyone.

"So, he put Gu on the baby girl, but he took the baby away because he was afraid of being discovered?" Fang Yao was shocked and angry.

Fan Chen frowned and said: "It stands to reason that this is the only reason that can be explained, but he didn't take the Gu worm away in the end..."

Fang Yao vaguely understood what he said.

The killing Gu in Fan Chen's mouth should be returned to the Gu master after killing someone, but the little pervert who didn't know if it was a man or a woman didn't take the Gu worm after killing someone.

She said bitterly: "I think it's too late to take it away, if he doesn't leave, he will expose his identity as a Gu Master, and I will definitely knock out every one of his teeth!"

Fan Chen was silent, and said: "Your guess is also possible. In fact, I suspect that the purpose of his coming to Zhangxiang City is very likely to be related to the turtle monster."

"what……"

Fang Yao's heart moved, thinking that the man deliberately struck up a conversation with her, and what would be left behind for the money, she couldn't help but blurted out, "It must be so!"

If this is the case, then at the next Plague Demon Point, there may really be a later date!

She hurriedly asked: "Take out the hanging mirror quickly and see if there are any other plague monsters within a radius of one hundred and eight miles."

During the daytime, her mask saw that miasma in the sky was still covering a large area in the north, but the exact location and distance were still unclear.

Fan Chen really took out the gossip mirror from his inner pocket.

From an inconspicuous small mechanism at the top of the mirror, he gently pulled out a barely visible silk thread, and hung it in the middle of the carriage ceiling.

Ordinary people would not notice that there is a thread hanging at all. At first glance, it really looks like a bronze mirror hanging in midair strangely by itself.

This was the first time Fang Yao saw Fan Chen fiddle with the mirror, and she stood up curiously, but the latter gave her a glance: "The silk thread is very light, and it will shake slightly when you breathe, you'd better stay away. "

Fang Yao sat down silently, retreated to the innermost part of the carriage like Fan Chen, and held her breath.

After the copper-yellow hanging mirror swayed slightly for a few times, it finally came to a stillness slowly, motionless.

Fang Yao didn't dare to vent her anger, her eyes stared at the mirror surface of the hanging mirror without blinking.

Suddenly, a low curse came from beside him.

Her eyeballs flicked sideways, but Fan Chen's mouth didn't open, this guy was chanting a curse in ventriloquism!
Suddenly, a bright light flashed in front of her, and Fang Yao hurriedly turned her gaze back to the gossip mirror.

I saw the originally static mirror slowly turning again.

Obviously... there is no wind.

Fang Yao could clearly find that this time, the rotation of the mirror was irregular, it was fast and slow, left and right, as if an invisible hand was fiddled with it wantonly.

The seemingly ordinary mirror surface before, gradually appeared a cloud of black mist, like a trapped animal, scurrying around in the mirror.

Finally, when she felt that she was about to be suffocated to death, Fan Chen suddenly said, "Okay."

"call--"

Fang Yao instantly slumped on the cushion at the back of the carriage, gasping for breath, her eyes were a little dull.

Fan Chen stepped forward to take off the hanging mirror and held it in front of her.

Fang Yao took the hanging mirror and held it in her hand. The black mist seemed to be imprisoned by something now. Although there were still teeth and claws all around, it didn't run around wantonly.

She still remembered that Fan Chen said that the direction of the epidemic monster can be confirmed through the gossip compass on the back of the mirror.

So, she naturally turned over the mirror for comparison, and then...

"where is this place?"

"Qingfeng County."

As Fan Chen said, he glanced at her suddenly, frowned and said, "You don't know Bagua Luopan, do you?"

Fang Yao reflexively wanted to quibble, but after thinking about it, in front of this man who has more eyes than anyone else, there is no need to bother to hide these insignificant things, so she said angrily: "It's strange not to know."

"..."

After being shocked for a short time, Fan Chen quickly realized that Fang Yao was really different from other people.

Every time she got rid of the plague demon, she would go to it whenever she got it, and she hadn't even heard her read a word of the spell. It's not surprising that such a master doesn't know the Bagua diagram...it's not surprising.

He turned over the bronze gossip mirror, pointed to the simple compass diagram on the back, and said, "Mine is not complicated, it's not that difficult to recognize, and you can read, you just need to memorize the four directions of meridian, maoyou, which respectively represent north. South things."

Fang Yao hurriedly took the mirror, and looked through it twice. The black mist was indeed in the north. If it was more detailed, it should be in the northwest.

"What about the distance? How far is Qingfeng County from here?"

"It's about six hundred miles to the nearest official road."

six hundred miles...

Fang Yao was thinking about how many days it would take in the past, when she suddenly thought of something, she hurriedly took out the map given to her by the county magistrate Liyang.

Sure enough, she said why she had no impression of Qingfeng County, it wasn't on the map at all.

Fan Chen tilted his head, glanced at the map in her hand, stretched out his hand, and clicked on a blank space on it: "Qingfeng County is here."

Fang Yao took a look, it was not too far away from the official road, and it was not difficult to go around.

But in the next second, Fan Chen clicked his tongue and said, "However, all those who go north will avoid this county."

"Why?"

"Qingfeng County also has another name, that is... the hometown of bandits."
