Day and night tour

Chapter 114 The Lady in the Coffin
Zhou Xuan severed the connection with the blood well, opened his eyes, put the diary into his inner pocket, and smiled bitterly.

The Yin people and gods who burned four incense sticks changed to the method of "getting tattoos to accumulate incense". Now that I think about it, it doesn't seem that Xuejing was greedy, but it was too difficult to find tattoos to accumulate incense.

He took out his pocket watch and checked the time. It was almost dawn.

"At this time, my sister should be in Jingyu Hall."

Zhou Xuan left the house and walked towards Jingyu Hall.

……

Jingyu Hall is where the Zhou family troupe performs rituals. Every night when the masters go out to work, the troupe leader personally watches over them.

Originally, the work intensity in the Quiet Language Hall was relatively low. Work started at around 7 or 8 in the evening and ended before the early morning.

But recently the Zhou family's business volume has been increasing rapidly, and the three or four-hour working hours are no longer enough.

Zhou Xuan heard from Lu Mingkun that he even worked until six in the morning the day before yesterday.

When Zhou Xuan arrived at Jingyu Hall, he peeked inside and saw that the masters had to deal with more than three corpses each and were very busy.

Zhou Lingyi lay on the bamboo chair with her eyes closed.

Zhou Xuan walked in with light steps, occasionally disturbing the workers.

When the master saw him, he smiled at him, a smile from the heart. The Zhou family team was not a slave-like enterprise. Although the working hours were long, the wages were doubling.

The masters work very hard.

One should never forget the person who dug the well when drinking water. They knew who was responsible for the recent surge in business, so they naturally treated Zhou Xuan with a smile.

When he got to Zhou Lingyi, Zhou Xuan greeted her quietly, "Sister."

"Why aren't you sleeping so late at night?" Zhou Lingyi picked out the largest orange from the fruit plate beside her, peeled it, and handed it to Zhou Xuan.

Zhou Xuan was too lazy to split the tangerine, so he ate it as an orange. He bit off half of it in one bite and said as he chewed, "Sister, I'm going on a long journey. I might be gone for a long time, maybe two or three months."

"Where are you going?"

"Mingjiang Mansion." Zhou Xuan leaned close to his sister's ear and said, "The Blood Well Divination gave me some guidance. I need to go to Mingjiang Mansion to learn how to accumulate incense for tattoos..."

"Ah."

Zhou Lingyi thought about it, nodded and said, "It's also good to go to Mingjiang Prefecture. It's the economic center of Jing Country and has a prosperity that Pingshui Prefecture doesn't have... It's also good for relaxing.

However, my sister and Master cannot go with you."

She looked in the direction of the ancestral tree and said, "Old Yuan and I will stay at home to guard the ancestral tree..."

The ancestral tree needs the Zhou family to guard it.

Before she returned to the Zhou family, the person who guarded the tree was her grandfather. Although her grandfather was unconscious and confused at the time, he was still in the Zhou family, so the ancestral tree was safe.

As the night-wandering god, Zhou Lingyi only has one chance left to take action for personal matters, so this action is extremely precious.

Normally it is not convenient for her to take action, so she needs Yuan Buyu to help. Although Yuan Buyu has been confused recently because of his unstable heart, his presence in the Zhou family class is a deterrent.

"I'll ask your fifth senior brother to go with you."

Zhou Lingyi said: "I know you are not afraid of anything, but your incense level is not high. Let Fifth Brother accompany you, I feel more at ease.
Fifth Senior Brother is the disciple of Four Incense Sticks. His sect’s cultivation method is similar to tattooing, so maybe he can teach you something.”

"Ah."

Zhou Xuan also felt that his fifth senior brother was extremely reliable, at least more reliable than that shadow. When the two of them went to Mingjiang Mansion together, they didn't feel so lonely.

not to mention,
We need to find a master who can burn four incense sticks as a sacrifice within a week. With Lv Mingkun's help, it will be much easier.

"Brother, have you decided on a date to go to Mingjiang Prefecture? I can find someone to buy the train ticket."

"The day after tomorrow."

"Aren't you going tomorrow?" Zhou Lingyi asked.

"I have something to do in Pingshui Prefecture tomorrow." Zhou Xuan said.

……

After Zhou Xuan returned to the house, he first looked back at the Shenqi Secret Realm. The flame of the heart incense was still quite strong and should be able to last for a few more days before going out.

"I have to visit Dr. Du tomorrow."

He walked out of the secret realm, stood up and took out a business card from the drawer.

On the front of the business card is a statue of Maitreya Buddha.

On the back, it is printed - Pingshui Prefecture Shande Hospital, pharmacy doctor Du Kaili.

This business card was given to him by Mr. Dai in the past, saying that this doctor could cure his "psychic" disease.

Later, Zhou Xuan learned that Mr. Dai had been the "foot" of the White Walker Shi Wei Tian, ​​and that Mr. Dai handed him his business card at the instigation of Shi Wei Tian.

This indirectly shows that Du Kaili is definitely a member of the kidnappers' gang and her status in the gang is not low.

"Visit him tomorrow and see if we can find the whereabouts of Chun Meng and Yan Zhong Dao."

Zhou Xuan has already begun planning a plan to hunt down the kidnapper's two masters.

Killing a kidnapping expert who only needs four incense sticks is difficult, but the most difficult part is how to find his hiding place.

……

Shan De Hospital is very famous in Pingshui Prefecture and is located at the intersection of Taiping Road and Taiping West Road.

The hospital is large and has many patients, so Zhou Xuan can find it without Lu Mingkun's guidance.

After arriving at the hospital, Zhou Xuan parked the car under an elm tree, took out two bundles of Huayuzhai cakes from the trunk, and walked into the hospital.

The hospital pharmacy is easy to find.

The pharmacy is connected to the drugstore. After getting the medicine, if there is a need, the medicine can be decocted and cooked directly.

The smell of cooking medicine is strong, and Zhou Xuan has a sensitive nose, so he can smell the fragrance of the medicine from a long distance without any perception.

He followed the smell and soon found the medicine shop and the drugstore sign.

"Hello, is Dr. Du Kaili here?"

Zhou Xuan asked a young female doctor who was writing a prescription.

"Transferred away." "Where was he transferred to?" Zhou Xuan pretended to be anxious and said, "I always have olfactory hallucinations. You know olfactory hallucinations, which means that I can smell some odors that I can't smell before. A boss friend recommended me to see Doctor Du..."

"That might be hard to find."

The female doctor raised her head and said, "She was transferred to Mingjiang Prefecture. Mingjiang Prefecture also has Shande Hospital, but I don't know if she works in the pharmacy..."

"At the pharmacy. Didn't I go to Mingjiang Mansion for further studies a few days ago? I happened to meet Doctor Du."

A male doctor holding an enamel teacup walked into the room slowly. He happened to bump into Zhou Xuan and the female doctor talking, so he interrupted and said,

"Old Wang, was that a coincidence? Don't tell me you did it on purpose... You better be careful. If your wife finds out, she'll come to the pharmacy to make trouble again." The female doctor teased Dr. Wang.

"Cough cough."

Doctor Wang coughed twice and glanced at Zhou Xuan and Lu Mingkun, meaning that there were patients around and they should not talk nonsense.

Zhou Xuan asked Dr. Wang, "There are many Shande Hospitals in Mingjiang Prefecture, right? I don't know which one to go to see Dr. Du."

"Two, one in Mingdong District and one in Mingxi District. Dr. Du is in Mingdong District."

After taking a sip of tea, Dr. Wang covered the cup and went back to work.

"Mingdong District, Shan De Hospital Pharmacy, Du Kaili. This Doctor Du seems to be quite good-looking. He has bewitched his colleague Lao Wang, who is a married man."

Zhou Xuan muttered to himself.

……

As Zhou Xuan expected, his article "The Water Seller" was published in Taiping Business Daily.

Zhou Xuan returned to the Zhou Family Class and saw the article he wrote printed on the newspaper. He murmured, "Will Jing Deng contact me tonight?"

……

Mingjiang Mansion, Great World Restaurant.

The Mingjiang dishes in the restaurant are cooked to a very high standard. Bosses and wealthy customers from other places are most willing to taste the local flavors here.

Old Mrs. Yu, however, was not interested in Mingjiang cuisine. She wore a white silk scarf and a fashionable Geli cheongsam and ordered three Pingshui dishes.

People from different places always prefer the food of that place. It is a habit formed over many years and a preference engraved in their bones that is difficult to change.

After the food was served, she drank rice wine and read a newspaper while eating.

She had four newspapers in her hands, each of a different style, all Mingjiang newspapers.

She flipped through the newspaper very quickly, as if she was looking for something in it, and she had no enthusiasm for the content of the newspaper itself.

After finishing her meal, she left the restaurant and went to Room 901 of the Xinmingjiang Hotel across the street.

The hotel is of high standard and every room is equipped with a telephone.

As Mrs. Yu walked to the door of the room, she heard the urgent ringing of the phone.

After she opened the door, she closed it tightly before walking to the phone and picking up the receiver.

"Hey!"

"Teacher, I saw an article in Pingshui Business News. The article is called 'The Water Seller'. The name of the water seller in the article is Zhang Hua. The words 'well' and 'lamp' are mentioned many times in the article, which seems to imply..."

"I understand the implication, but can the person who wrote the article check it?"

"We have checked. The article was submitted by a person named Guo Kaiming, but he was not the one who wrote it. He used the same submission method as us."

Old Lady Yu hesitated for a long time before she said, "This is an invitation for me to show up."

"Then we are..."

"Don't worry about him for now, wait a few days and see."

Old Lady Yu hung up the phone and said thoughtfully, "Could it be that this person is also a great master of deduction like Ren Ao?"

She lifted her sleeves and saw White Walker words carved on her wrist with a sharp knife.

Every stroke of the text is an ugly scar.

"If I am deduced, this talisman will move."

Old Mrs. Yu stood up and went out with her handbag...

……

Jiuli Mansion is the villa area of ​​Mingjiang Prefecture.

After showing the gatekeeper her pass, Old Lady Yu walked deeper into the building until she came to a statue of a stone pot spraying water. A maid sitting on a small bamboo chair stood up and said, "Mother Yu, the young lady has gone to bed."

"I'm in a hurry."

"Then I'll go take a look."

The maid walked into the house holding a bell. After a while, she said to Old Lady Yu, "Come in, the young lady is awake."

"Hey." Old Mrs. Yu responded and tried to make her steps lighter.
Walk through the entire corridor, go up the spiral staircase, follow the red carpet, and arrive at a room.

She knocked gently on the door.

"Come in."

Old Mrs. Yu opened the door.

The room was very small, only about ten square meters in size, without any everyday furniture, only two pitch-black coffins.

There were fresh blood stains on the cracks of the coffin.

There was an incense burner on the coffin lid, with a stick of incense burning.

Old Mrs. Yu walked to the coffin on the right and knocked lightly on the coffin lid with her knuckles.

"Miss, someone is watching us."

"He knows that I am the well light."

After Old Lady Yu finished speaking, she waited for a response from inside the coffin.
