“It’s very similar to what?”
Yin Zhaoxian followed Yin Qing’s gaze and looked up. The calm and coercive statue of the City God sat high in front of the stage, and an inexplicable sense of familiarity rose in his heart.
“Daddy…”
“Let’s go home!”
Yin Qing was a little afraid to speak, but Yin Zhaoxian didn’t point it out. He picked up his son and walked out of the temple in silence.
Passing by the many pilgrims coming in and out of the Chenghuang Temple, and not looking sideways at the various goods shouted and hawked outside the temple, Mr. Yin’s steps were faster than when he arrived.
It wasn’t until he left Miao Sifang that Yin Zhaoxian slowed down his slightly sore pace.
“Qing’er, what did you just say?”
Yin Qing faced his father’s gaze and answered with some anxiety.
“The appearance of the old gentleman just now looks like that of the City God in the temple!! Dad, I really saw it right and I am not talking nonsense!!”
“Yeah!”
Yin Zhaoxian responded softly, leaving Yin Qing in a daze, who was originally prepared to receive criticism from his father.
“As a father, I actually thought it looked familiar just now, but I’m not sure.”
Normal people who worship the City God will not carefully discern the face of the City God. In addition, the old man just saw it a few times and did not remember his appearance clearly. Yin Zhaoxian was not sure, but Yin Qing remembered it clearly. Clearly.
“Qing’er, you can’t tell anyone what happened today, not even your mother. Do you remember it?”
“Oh…”
“Huh?”
“Remember it, daddy…”
Yin Qing was a little confused as to why she couldn’t even talk to her mother, but she didn’t dare to talk back to her father.
“Well, Qing’er, you have to remember that a woman’s hair is long but her knowledge is short. Your mother is better, but she’s not so good. When you chat with the neighbors, everything will come out!”
Now Yin Qing seems to understand.
“By the way, when I see the great gentleman you talk about in the future, I must salute and say hello. Have you made a note of it?”
“Yes, I remembered it!”
Yin Zhaoxian led Yin Qing home, thinking that if nothing happened to the new residents of Ju’an Xiaoge for half a month, he would take Yin Qing to visit him personally!
Some people believe in the theory of ghosts and gods, and some people scorn it. Most people spread it by word of mouth, but few people see it with their own eyes. However, it is undeniable that most people have an attitude of preferring to believe it. Buji also maintains a heart of awe.
For Yin Zhaoxian, this time, it is really a bit mysterious!
. . .
Ji Yuan has already arrived home. Even though he did not lock the yard and the back room when he went out, not only because there is nothing to steal, but also because no thieves dare to come to Ju’an Pavilion to steal things.
Pushing open the door, he took out the willow branch that was broken on the road from his sleeve pocket, rolled up his sleeves and started the belated brushing of his teeth.
Brushing your teeth is one of the most inconvenient things that Ji Yuan has found since coming here. Willow branches are not just used casually. Before brushing your teeth, break off the willow branches section by section, take two of the sections and soften them into fibers at the top. Brush all over your teeth like a small brush, then use a new, thinner willow branch to pick between your teeth.
After tinkering for a long time, Ji Yuan picked up the wooden ladle and poured half a ladle of water into his mouth.
“Uh bah bah bah bah…bah…”
Spit out a mouthful of green mouthwash and rinse it several times before you feel it is clean.
In fact, using salt is more effective, but salt is expensive. If you are not a high-ranking person, it is too wasteful to use it to brush your teeth. You are not worthy of such a luxury.
After brushing his teeth, Ji Yuan felt that he might have nothing to do for a long time this day. He had no internet, no mobile phone, and no acquaintances to chat with. There was no point in going out, unless it was a temple fair in the evening and he could still go shopping. visit.
‘Hey, it makes me look like a lonely old man… How did my grandfather and uncle-in-law spend their time in the past? ’
As soon as I thought of the question, an answer jumped into my mind.
Play chess!
And this was also related to his biggest reliance, which made Ji Yuan couldn’t help but feel lucky that he had just asked about Old Cheng Huang’s chess records.
Thinking of this, Ji Yuan sat on the stone bench in the courtyard, stretched out his right arm, pinched the finger of the sword in his hand, and visualized the chess piece in his mind.
After the familiar tingling sensation of electricity arose, the shadow of the chess piece also appeared at the tip of the sword finger.
‘Black! ’
Ji Yuan was shocked. The original chess piece had a looming illusion. It was difficult to tell whether it was a white piece or a black piece. But at this moment, the chess piece was still illusory but it was already a black piece.
Not only did the color turn darker, but the sunspots now felt closer to reality on their fingertips. Ji Yuan couldn’t help but wonder if this piece would really “drop” onto the chessboard.
As for the reason for this change, it is probably related to the finger pointing at the evil thing last night. Thinking of the cold feeling when the thing was adsorbed and spinning on the arm, it is not difficult to deduce what was absorbed by the chess piece.
‘Yin Qi? The evil spirit of earth veins? It can’t possibly be anger, right? First try to see if you can still absorb the spiritual energy. ’
In fact, Ji Yuan had a strange feeling before. Usually holding the pieces to gather spirit seems to be some kind of suction of the chess pieces, but it never absorbs the spiritual energy or absorbs very little. It needs to be figured out later.
Putting aside the things that he couldn’t figure out for the time being, Ji Yuan got rid of distracting thoughts and began to visualize the Lanke chess game in his mind.
As Jiyuan’s distracting thoughts became less and less and he became more and more devoted, the wind began to rise in the small courtyard.
The wind was not strong, but it was continuous, surrounding Ji Yuan within ten feet. Waves of Qingling Qi gathered from all directions, and the greenness gradually accumulated around Heizi.
‘Okay, good! ’
No one bothered me this time. Ji Yuan tried to see if there was a limit.
Woo…Woo…
The wind was still as strong as before, but it seemed that Ji Yuan heard the sound of the wind. The leaves of the jujube branches in the courtyard were swaying, and the rustling sounds were also scattered with the wind.
As for Ji Yuan’s fingertips, except for a little black in the center, a large group of Qingling Qi has gathered, and its area is half a person’s length. Look for the book www.zhaoshuyuan.com to show the wind swirling slowly. Turn.
At this point, Ji Yuan couldn’t hold on any longer, his spirit began to tingle, and his arms felt as heavy as lifting a heavy barbell.
Everything must be done in a mode. People who cherish their lives like Ji Yuan even dare not absorb so much spiritual energy.
‘Dissipate some first, then absorb it when it becomes thinner! ’
Forced to think about the chess game, the surrounding green spiritual energy dissipated little by little, turning into spiritual winds circulating in the courtyard. When it dissipated until only one third was left, Ji Yuan thought. Harvest.
Zizzi…
First there was a feeling of electric shock, and then the fingertips felt sore. Qingling Qi flowed in, and the soreness also climbed up the arm.
“Hiss…”
Ji Yuan stood up immediately, almost as a reflex.
Hold it! !
This is an extremely uncomfortable feeling. It is a signal that the body is overwhelmed. If you eat too much, it will become poison. Fortunately, I have developed a good endurance in the mountain temple before, so the pain is still there. Can bear it.
Ji Yuan keeps his mind moving with the Qi, trying not to let the spiritual energy stay at one point, but guides the spiritual energy to circulate around the body, slowly reducing the pressure.
About ten minutes passed before the pain began to lessen, and Ji Yuan was already trembling with some involuntary slight spasms.
‘Fortunately, I was smart and dispersed most of the green spirit energy first, otherwise it would have been stupid to kill myself like this! ’
After another ten minutes, all the reactions in the body calmed down.
“Huh…huh…huh…”
Ji Yuan panted to calm his heartbeat and physical fatigue, and sat down lazily on the stone table, not wanting to move.
Feeling the surrounding wind slowly dissipating, the jujube branches and leaves in the courtyard swayed happily.
