Myths and Dharma, starting from Erlang Shen

Chapter 182 The Art of Witchcraft and Gu
The moonlight is like water, shining in the courtyard.

Ji Ren and Qiao Qingyu were sitting in the courtyard chatting. Qiao Qingyu wanted to give Ji Ren some advice on his cultivation. However, after talking for a while, she found that her own cultivation and Ji Ren's cultivation seemed to be completely different. In the end, I had to give up.
Just chatting with each other made the relationship between the two people closer.

As he was talking, suddenly, a cry of surprise came from the distant guest room.

Ji Ren and Qiao Qingyu's expressions changed, and they stood up in unison and rushed to the place where the sound came from.

Ji Ren stopped at the door of Zhong Xiaoqiu's guest room, his eyes flashed, and he looked through the wall and saw that there were no outsiders in Zhong Xiaoqiu's room. There were only two female guards arranged by the Tianwu Division. They obviously entered after hearing the sound, but Zhong Xiaoqiu looked pale. As if he was frightened.

He turned his eyes and took a closer look, but he didn't see anything strange.

There are differences between men and women. Zhong Xiaoqiu only wore a thin undershirt. It was not allowed for Ji Ren to go in, so as not to ruin the melons and plums. Qiao Qingyu quickly entered and asked softly why.

"Sorry, I just had a nightmare."

Seeing Qiao Qingyu come in, although Zhong Xiaoqiu's face was pale, he still explained softly.

"Nightmare?" Qiao Qingyu frowned slightly. Was it a nightmare?

Ji Ren's expression changed slightly. Zhong Xiaoqiu was able to protect himself in the gangster den and still retain the blood of Su Guogong. There was nothing to say about his psychological quality. He was so good that he suddenly had a nightmare. Isn't it unreasonable?
Ji Ren's eyes flickered, and he saw everything. He saw a slight change in the energy on the top of Zhong Xiaoqiu's head, and some black energy solidified in his meridians. Ji Ren noticed something, but said: "I'm the one who disturbed you, Mrs. Huang, take a good rest. "

Zhong Xiaoqiu nodded slightly and went back to his room to rest. He just lay on the bed, but couldn't fall asleep.

"Witchcraft?" Qiao Qingyu's face changed slightly as she asked, "Did the people who were in Su Guogong's Mansion attack Mrs. Huang? It's just the art of witchcraft that has been lost for many years, but there are still people who know it?"

"What do you think is wrong?" Ji Ren's eyes changed slightly, but he didn't expect Qiao Qingyu to notice it as well.

The art of witchcraft and curses has been banned by all dynasties and should be lost.

"If I guessed correctly, it should be witchcraft." Ji Ren said.

This time, the people behind the scenes actually have such methods.

At this moment, Ji Ren's voice came from outside the door.

"Maybe it's because I changed the bed, I feel a little bit acquainted with life." Zhong Xiaoqiu said.

But after Qiao Qingyu left with Ji Ren, she whispered: "There is something wrong with Mrs. Huang."

To perform the art of witchcraft, a medium is necessary.

Only then did Zhong Xiaoqiu realize that Ji Ren was also here. He immediately put on his clothes and walked out the door, explaining: "An ordinary nightmare is like falling into hell. There are countless evil ghosts and water thieves, but it has passed."

"I can't tell, but I have an intuition that something is wrong with Mrs. Huang's Qi." Qiao whispered. She believed in her intuition, especially after she further mastered the Hunyuan Umbrella, her intuition became even sharper.

"I wonder what kind of nightmare you are having?"

"The fact that it is lost means that the public does not know it, but a small number of people know it, so they are more unscrupulous and it is more troublesome to solve it. But the question now is how did Mrs. Huang win?" Ji Ren frowned slightly.

And it is not an easy matter for the victim to be tricked.

The people living in the country of Su are all old people and loyal to Duke Su, and today at Uncle Weiyuan's house, everyone ate together.

"Do the Yang family know the art of witchcraft?" Ji Ren suddenly asked. "The Yang family passed down poems and books, and there is no connection with witchcraft. Do you doubt Yang Xing and the others?" Qiao Qingyu asked in confusion.

"I can't tell. Theoretically, there should be no relationship between the Yang family and Duke Su's mansion. But intuitively, when Taoist Zixu asked me to bless him today, there was something wrong with the mother and son of the Yang family. I felt worried at first. , and then I felt relieved." Ji Rendao.

"Is there any basis for this?" Qiao Qingyu frowned. The ultimate target of the plot to kill Zhong Xiaoqiu must be Duke Su. The Yang family cannot bear the thunderous wrath of Duke Su.

But according to Ji Ren, was he tampering with the blessing?

But in this case, everyone should be affected, not just Zhong Xiaoqiu.

Could it be that the birth date corresponds to the horoscope?

"No, it's just a pure intuition." Ji Ren shook his head and said, "Forget it, we can't wait for tomorrow. Now, you come with me to find your senior brother. We are not outsiders."

Qiao Qingyu nodded slightly, without saying much, and acted directly with Ji Ren, leaping up and turning into two afterimages, heading towards the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Not long after, Ji Ren and the two arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Tonight, New Year's Eve, the old man who was the gatekeeper of the Prime Minister's Mansion also went home to celebrate the New Year. No one came to open the door for Ji Ren and Qiao Qingyu. However, this obviously did not bother Ji Ren. He jumped over the wall and jumped into the Prime Minister's Mansion.

But after jumping in, he found that Qiao Qingyu hadn't followed, so he popped up again, looked at Qiao Qingyu and said, "Why don't you come over?"

"How about just jumping over the wall?" Qiao Qingyu was slightly stunned. She had been a child of other people's families almost all her life. Not only did she have extraordinary qualifications and strong cultivation, but her etiquette and so on were also impeccable.

During the Chinese New Year, on New Year's Eve, I climbed over the wall and entered the Prime Minister's Mansion. This was my first time doing this kind of thing.

"What's the problem? Follow the emergency, senior brother won't blame us."

Ji Ren said without caring, and jumped out of the wall again, then grabbed Qiao Qingyu's hand, jumped over the wall of the prime minister's house, and jumped into the prime minister's house.

Suddenly Ji Ren grabbed her hand, Qiao Qingyu's face turned red, but before she could break free, Ji Ren had already led her running forward, so he had to follow all the way.

In the Prime Minister's Mansion, Zhuge Qinglan, who was having a drink with his wife, noticed the presence of two people in the manor. His expression was subtle, and he immediately jumped into the air. He saw Ji Ren jump in, then jump out, and then jump in again. Then the two of them ran hand in hand in the prime minister's house. Zhuge Qinglan had a subtle look on his face. Are all young people doing this these days?

During the Chinese New Year, those who don’t stay at home well have to run out and climb over the wall of their house.

Also in and out.

This was Ji Ren. If it had been anyone else, Zhuge Qinglan would have killed him with a slap.

After speaking to Huang Sumei, Zhuge Qinglan waved the feather fan in his hand, and the formation in the Prime Minister's Mansion changed. Soon an avenue appeared in front of Ji Ren and Qiao Qingyu, and the two walked directly to him.

"You're celebrating the New Year, why are you here suddenly?" Zhuge Qinglan looked at Ji Ren and said.

"Zhong Xiaoqiu has fallen under the spell of witchcraft." Ji Ren said straight to the point without any ambiguity.

"What?" Zhuge Qinglan's expression changed. He hadn't heard about the art of witchcraft for many years.

Ji Ren nodded, indicating that Zhuge Qinglan heard correctly.
