lost soul

The case of the corpse is a bit weird, and Duan Baopu and the others are at their wits' end right now, so it's more important to confirm Pei Ju's safety first.

Before leaving, Duan Baopu specifically told Saito several times not to go out.

"Understood, I am older than you anyway, and I asked you juniors to remind me." Saito scratched his head impatiently, and waved them to go quickly, "I will stay here honestly and play with my mobile phone, waiting for you back."

Pei Ci smiled and said, "It sounds like a flag."

"Go away, you two are husband and wife."

Duan Baopu laughed twice, told Pei Ci that he did a good job, and they went out together.

"Oh, that's right." Duan Baopu remembered something, turned around and put his palms on the door, and said in his mouth: "...the battle can start."

Nothing happened, Pei Ci thought that a kind of mask would be raised to protect the whole house.

After leaving the open space, the bus just came, and the two sat down side by side.

Only then did Duan Baopu explain: "There is also that kind of mask, but it will be obvious, and even a little heretic will find it, and it will be counterproductive."

Pei Ci thought about it for a while, before he met Duan Baopu, he thought that there were ordinary people in this world who only used punches and kicks, or swords, guns, swords and sticks.

I never thought that the Taoist spells that appear in novels, film and television dramas all exist, and they may be by my side.

Possessing supernatural powers, or being so strong that they ignore other people's willful actions, most people will still choose to restrain their edge and leave a way out for themselves.

Even someone like Duan Baopu would only act in front of familiar people.Normally, he couldn't tell that he was a Taoist priest, he was just like an ordinary sunny and handsome boy.

Although in every gesture, Duan Baopu's long-established habits make Duan Baopu look like someone who was born in the world.

Thinking of this, Pei Ci couldn't help covering his mouth and laughing.

Duan Baopu didn't know what was going on in his heart, he just thought that Pei Ci thought of something happy, he didn't think about it, but he covered his mouth and sneezed.

Pei Ci was taken aback, is it so effective to speak ill of people?

The bus had already entered the city, Duan Baopu and Pei Ci got off at a random stop, and then hailed a taxi.

The driver was an enthusiastic local. At first glance, he thought Duan Baopu and Duan Baopu were visiting city B, and his tone was very familiar.

"Where are the two handsome guys going?"

Pei Ci reported a place name: "At the foot of Mount Pei."

Hearing that they were going to this place, the driver was even more convinced that they were foreigners. Mount Pei is a key tourist attraction developed in City B. During the term, the natural scenery is beautiful, with layers of fog, deep forests and fragrant flowers, and it is also a good time to escape the heat in summer.

Thinking about this, the driver began to introduce the scenic spots in Peishan, saying which places have good things to see, and which stalls on the mountainside sell delicious food.

Of course Pei Ci, a local, knew everything well, so he didn't speak.

Instead, Duan Baopu started a conversation with the driver, and the two of them had a lively chat. If the conversation continued, Duan Baopu might ask for the driver's residence booklet.

Pei Ci coughed lightly, Duan Baopu stopped in time and stopped asking.

Still let him inquire about an interesting thing.

Just after ten o'clock last night, the driver was about to finish work and go home, but he met two people who wanted to get in the car. The driver thought it would be a one-time trip, so he let them get in the car.

The two people were standing in the backlight before, and the driver didn't feel anything strange. When they got into the car, only one person said with a low voice that he was going to Beiyunan Road.

With the passing streetlights on the side of the road from time to time, the driver could clearly see that the two men were dressed in black and had hats on their heads.

"It's summer, do you think they will make people think too much when they dress like this? The strangest thing is that they still wear sunglasses. The ones in the dark night are really scary."

The driver yelled for a while, shook his body, and stopped talking about this bad luck.

You can already see Mount Pei from a distance, its green and mist-shrouded.

The driver reminded Duan Baopu and the others: "This is the tourist area of ​​Mount Pei, and you don't want to go to the other side. It's the territory of the Pei family."

Speaking of which, the driver frowned, with a hint of apprehension hidden in his tone: "Anyway, it's best not to go, so as not to get entangled with that one."

The Pei family should be the old house that Pei Ci mentioned.

Duan Baopu glanced at Pei Ci, and found that his face remained unchanged, with an expression of nothing to do with me.

Duan Baopu asked speculatively: "I heard that the Pei family is a famous Chinese medicine family with a high status in City B, why..."

The driver smiled heartily, "This is just my personal prejudice, don't take it to heart, little brother, it's fun."

After talking, the car stopped, and there was a long queue in front of the gate of the tourist area.

After paying, Duan Baopu greeted the driver again, and said something serious before getting out of the car.

"If you hear rumors of something strange recently, don't go out, just stay at home."

Without waiting for the driver to reply, Duan Baopu and Pei Ci left.

The driver held the steering wheel with his right hand, and scratched his cheek with the index finger of his left hand, "It's strange."

If other people said this, he would definitely think that the person was supernatural, talking crazy or joking.

But when Duan Baopu said it, there was an undoubted feeling.

"It's strange, we've only known each other for less than half an hour, how can I feel this way." The driver grunted, stepped on the accelerator and drove away.

"Will he listen to what you remind him?" Pei Ci asked, looking back at the taxi going away.

"It's up to him to listen, anyway, I said it." Duan Baopu suddenly pretended to be profound, "But I believe he is a smart person, and he will listen."

Pei Ci glanced at Duan Baopu and said with a smile: "Are all you Taoist priests so clever?"

"It's interesting to pretend once in a while." Duan Baopu pretended to stroke his non-existent beard and asked, "Then shall we go to Pei's house on the other side now?"

Pei Ci nodded and said, "Okay, take this road. By the way, let me tell you about the situation."

As the driver said, there are two sides to Mount Pei. One side is developed into a tourist area by the city government, and the other side is where Pei's family lives.

But in fact, the whole mountain belongs to the Pei family, otherwise it wouldn't be named after "Pei".

"Shan's rent is not low, and they have to take a lot out of it every year, but that money is also coveted by everyone, and they have to make a fuss every time before they give up."

Duan Baopu said: "Maybe this is the big family. I don't understand."

Pei Ci laughed and said: "Aren't you also a big family? I heard that it is one of the four major families of Taoism?"

"Hey, the kind that is only famous in the circle, how can it compare to those of you who have rejuvenated your hands." Duan Baopu said.

"Rejuvenation?" Pei Ci chuckled and said, "Just don't destroy the flowers with such cruel hands."

Duan Baopu remembered what the driver said just now, and asked again: "From what the driver said just now, it seems that some people are not..." He thought for a while and continued: "I don't have a good impression of the Pei family."

"That's what they made themselves." Pei Ci didn't say the answer, and by the way put it off: "The Pei family will probably understand after you wait."

As soon as the words were finished, the two turned a corner, and Duan Baopu saw the Pei family from a distance through the obstruction of the stacked camphor trees.

The tall courtyard walls, antique courtyards and modern buildings are mixed, which looks very incongruous.

In addition to Feng Shui.

Duan Baopu doesn't know much about Fengshui, even if he knows a little bit, he can see that the Fengshui here is very good.

Generally, there is nothing wrong with big families paying attention to Feng Shui. The older generation always believes in this, and it is not all nonsense.

But... there's something weird about it.

Duan Baopu really couldn't tell, so he had to take a few photos with his mobile phone and send them to the WeChat group, so that the bosses in those groups could identify them.
