Day and night tour

Chapter 53 Getting Started
Zhou Xuan unfolded the newspaper and a bold black headline caught his eye - "Several human trafficking dens destroyed in succession, restoring the bright sky to Pingshui Prefecture."

The picture accompanying the news showed a number of Maitreya temples in Huilang River being smashed.

Seeing that Zhou Xuan didn't look shocked, Yu Jia explained, "A few days ago, you asked me to buy the headlines to publicize the blood sacrifice and smashing of the Buddha statue at the Huilang River Temple. The public opinion exploded and the newspapers sold like crazy.

Some newspapers failed to grab the headlines, and some were unwilling to give up, so they sent reporters to the temple to see if they could pick up some scraps of information and hype the news to sell newspapers. As a result, one reporter photographed a kidnapper who stuffed the children he brought into the Maitreya Temple in Huilang River.

Then he reported the incident to the newspaper, and public opinion exploded again, causing public outrage. Many people went to the temple overnight and smashed a row of Maitreya temples. Then they found that there was a secret in the temple. The big Buddha was blocking the temple door, but there was actually a secret passage in the back half of the temple, and there was a cellar underneath, and the people who were abducted were locked up inside. "

"Has the abducted child been rescued?" Zhou Xuan asked.

"The kidnapper had good ears, and most of them were moved away. Only a few women and children were not moved in time, and they were sent to the police station to record their statements.

The kidnappers’ business is very wild. They not only deal with living people, but also kill people to take their bones and souls. The bones are stored in iron cans, and the souls are kept in cages with talismans... There are some vicious schools among the Yin people. Their magic tools are made from souls and bones. They buy all the materials from kidnappers. "

After listening to Yu Jia's account of the kidnapping business, Zhou Xuan finally understood why Feng Xigui's daughter's soul returned home today. It must be that the kidnapper made a mistake in his haste and broke the cage that held her captive, so she took the opportunity to escape home...

"So, the kidnappers blamed me for the first wave of public opinion because I took the lead in smashing the local temple, and then they put all the responsibility for the smashing of the temples for the traffickers on me?"

"Anyway, they say you've disrupted their business. The news has spread among the Baiyun gentlemen. The kidnappers want to target you. They're a bunch of lunatics who dare to do anything..." Yu Jia said breathlessly.

Zhou Xuan got out of the car and locked the door: "If they really dare to do anything, how can I come back alive today? The rat in the gutter can't stand the light, so why should I be afraid of him..."

He went to Feng Xigui's house today, and he didn't see any kidnappers bothering him along the way.

He guessed that if the kidnapper's revenge was not "much ado about nothing", then it was because he didn't dare to do it openly and always wanted to stab you in the back...

If you pay more attention and be cautious, you won't go too far wrong.

……

As night falls, the Zhou family's courtyard activities go on as usual, people chat and play chess as usual, and they are not affected by the kidnapping incident at all. In their own words, they can't wait for the kidnappers to come to their doorstep so that they can beat them up!
Zhou Lingyi was tending to the flowers and plants in the house.

The shadow swam silently into the wall of the house.

"Where did Fifth Brother go today?" Zhou Lingyi took out a notebook and a pen and began to take notes.

Shadow said, "The puppy said he didn't go out, just like yesterday."

"Where's Fourth Senior Brother?"

"I went to the newspaper office in the morning, didn't go out at noon, and went to Meiyuan Road in the evening to drink with Jing Yutang, the director of Baiyun Gentleman. The third brother sang opera in the dormitory all day, and the second brother and the second sister-in-law... uh..."

Shadow paused, feeling embarrassed to speak, Zhou Lingyi drew a line on the notebook and asked again: "Where is the senior brother?"

"I took Zhou Xuan to see Feng Xigui this morning. Zhou Xuan made a meditation hand seal and helped Feng Xigui's daughter find her obsession."

"Ah."

Zhou Lingyi wrote down everything, closed the notebook, and said, "Let the puppy keep a close eye on the brothers tomorrow."

"Zhou Lingyi, do you still suspect there is a traitor in your family?"

"I hope not..." Zhou Lingyi waved her hand and said, "Go and do your work. I'll go see Mr. Yuan."

After Zhou Lingyi went out, his shadow swam towards the ancestral tree. There were many dark shadows hidden in the tree canopy that was as broad as a giant umbrella.

They are the puppies of the Zhou family and also the eyes planted by Zhou Lingyi in the Zhou family.

……

"The head of the ancient Buddha was stolen by a monster with a goat's head and a human body, and the White Walker buried an eye in the Buddha's temple. From then on, the fire in the world was extinguished, and darkness enveloped the continent.

The sleeping storyteller listened to the oracle in his dream, and after waking up, he wrote the oracle in a book and sang it to every corner of the world. "

This is a story Zhou Lingyi heard when she was a child.

Stories are just stories. They cannot be completely true, but they are not completely false either.

At least there is a certain connection between the White Walkers and Buddha. Since Zhou Lingyi entered the old palace, she has read ancient books about the White Walkers in the palace. She observed that most of the White Walkers are born with Buddha nature.

Some ghosts have deep Buddha nature, some have shallow Buddha nature but none of them have none at all.

The White Walkers use the name of Buddha to attract believers. In addition to the effectiveness of the name of Buddha, the Buddha nature in them also provides them with the confidence to pretend to be Buddha.

Shizhi was born with good Buddha nature, but after all, he had just appeared in the world and was too young. Overall, the Buddha power contained in his blood was quite limited, but it was already very beneficial to Zhou Xuan.

First of all, Buddha's power can temporarily suppress the side effects of his spiritual communication.

Second, possessing Buddha nature helps in lighting incense at the entrance of the worship hall.

Last but not least, Buddha is the natural nemesis of evil spirits and monsters. Whether it is exorcising ghosts or converting people, he can achieve twice the result with half the effort.

"I have Buddha nature, I have spiritual power, and I have seen the blood well. All of this is for the great Nuo."

"A crazy god like Da Nuo is the most suitable for the Blood Well Spiritualist, but it's a pity that those old guys..."

Zhou Lingyi was sighing when the door of Luoying Hall was pushed open.

Yuan Buyu walked into the room holding two paintings.

Unlike his usual unkempt appearance, Yuan Buyu wore a plain long gown and new cloth shoes, and sat opposite Zhou Lingyi.

"Boss Zhou."

"Mr. Yuan, I want to talk to you about Zhou Xuan's joining the sect." Zhou Lingyi reached into his left sleeve with his right hand.

"Take a look at this first..."

Yuan Buyu handed over the two paintings.

All the paintings were from Zhou Xuan's hand. In one of the paintings, Zhou Xuan pierced Zhou Lingyi's heart with a sharp knife.

Another painting shows Zhou Xuan boiling Yuan Buyu's head.

Zhou Lingyi paused to take out her sleeves, looked at the painting for a while, and said with a smile: "My brother drew this? It's a very good painting."

"Xuan Zi is a psychic from the Blood Well. This kind of person has great talent but a miserable life story. He will go crazy within five years of joining the sect. After going crazy, he will kill those close to him first. The higher the degree of insanity, the more cruel the methods.

I drew these two paintings to guide Zhou Xuan into a psychic state, to see how crazy he could be. After testing, I realized that among all the records of Blood Well psychics I have seen, he is the craziest one..."

"so?"

"So, whoever becomes his master will end up in a terrible way."

"Uh..." When Zhou Lingyi heard this, she knew there was no reason to convince Yuan Buyu. She sighed and wanted to say a few more polite words before leaving. She would think of other ways to get married.

Yuan Buyu changed the subject and said, "But I am willing to accept him.

I have accepted four apprentices in my life.

The eldest brother stole my woman, the second brother stole my reputation, and the third brother stole my money. Only the youngest disciple is my best disciple, and he is also a psychic of the Blood Well.

He was not greedy for anything. He helped me to avenge my death and killed three of my brothers. Finally, he went crazy. Before he became completely insane, he forced me to kill him. I couldn't do it, so he sealed himself in the dream of the Blood Well, which was no different from death.

From then on, I was devastated and my incense was extinguished.

Over the years, I have always loved to study the Blood Well in my spare time, hoping to crack the mystery of the Blood Well and meet my little apprentice after opening the Blood Well, but I couldn't do it after all...

Xuanzi is very similar to my little disciple. He is not greedy or impatient, and he is always happy whenever you see him.

Of course, these are secondary. The important thing is... our fate and our blessing have come."
