Between mountains and seas

Speaking of which, Gu Sheng can see the curse on Shao Jingxing's body at a glance - his seal is black, and the curse should not be too obvious; it is also a common method to have nightmares and get injured in dreams as soon as he falls asleep. If you didn't get his birthday horoscope, or collected hair or nails from him to make magic tricks; you can wake up from your dream, and you can restrain yourself from falling asleep again, so it can be seen that the curse is not deep, and it is mostly a curse. Curse man thought that he could be killed if he was dealt with casually, so he didn't take him very seriously.

To sum up, although Shao Jingxing himself was extremely nervous, in the eyes of knowledgeable people, the curse he cast was just the most common curse, which could be lifted with a little effort.Even if you don't release it manually, as long as you stay with Mumu, the curse will gradually lose its effect.

But it was such a small broken curse that Huo Qing brought him back... Gu Sheng laughed silently in his heart, and continued to say to Shao Jingxing: "You are a dog, although I don't know how to lift your curse yet, but If you are with it, the curse will not take effect for the time being."

Tengu?Shao Jingxing couldn't help but looked at the cat again: "It's called Muddy?" Such a good cat, why did it take such a silly name?But then again, it is clearly a cat, why is it a dog again?No wonder the names are so confusing. I can't even figure out what kind of creature I am, so it's strange if I don't.

Although he complained secretly, Shao Jingxing didn't forget what Huo Qing told him. The special affairs department is a department that deals with all kinds of "special" affairs, so calling the cat a tengu must have other motives. Otherwise, he should investigate first. For a moment, what exactly is a tengu?

As soon as Shao Jingxing lowered his head and turned on the phone, he heard Huo Qing say lightly: "Tiangou is recorded in "Shan Hai Jing·Xishan Jing"—there is a beast in the Yin Mountains. Its shape is like a raccoon with a white head. , can ward off evil spirits."

Shao Jingxing felt that there was a meaning of "I knew you didn't know" in his tone, so he put the phone away in embarrassment, and laughed dryly: "Long, does it look like a fox?" But it doesn't look like a cat either. The fox has a round face.

Huo Qing calmly explained: "The raccoon originally refers to the wild cat. It means that the tengu looks like a cat, with a white head." He saw Shao Jingxing's eyes glance at the cabinet, and he guessed what he was thinking. Blue-gray, it’s a cat after all, it’s just because the power of mountains and seas has mutated the ability of a tengu, so it doesn’t have to look exactly like a real tengu.”

"So that's how it is..." Shao Jingxing couldn't help but bent down and looked into the cabinet again, "Then Uncle Gu said just now that if I stay with it, the curse won't take effect..."

Huo Qing's face involuntarily heated up again: "Tengu protects against evil. Curses are also 'violent' things, and they will be driven away by them." He acted as trustworthy as a life-saving straw, and it was really stressful to lie to him face to face.

However, Shao Jingxing didn't notice Huo Qing's expression at all, he just focused on observing in a daze: "Then, how can I be with it? It doesn't seem to like me very much..."

Gu Sheng laughed, walked over and took the cat out of the cupboard, and put it into Shao Jingxing's arms: "That's all."

"Hey - hey!" As soon as Shao Jingxing took over, the cat jumped nimbly, jumped from his arms onto his shoulder, stretched out its paw and patted the back of his head.

Shao Jingxing gasped.The place where the cat's paw was photographed was like being pricked by a fine needle. Does this cat still scratch people?If it is scratched, do I need to get a rabies vaccine?He reached out to touch the back of his head, but the tingling pain disappeared again, and he didn't find any scars when he touched it, as if the pain just now was his illusion.

After patting Shao Jingxing vaguely, she seemed to be satisfied, and slipped off his shoulders again, laying in his arms, looking like she was going to sleep.

"That—" Shao Jingxing didn't know whether to say that the cat seemed to have scratched him just now, but the cat looked so obedient now, it was a completely different cat from just now.

While he was still hesitating, Huo Qing coughed dryly: "There's nothing wrong with this. You stay here for a few days, and I'll go and see your friend surnamed Hu, and the shop owner..." The more he Said the redder the ears, "I'll go and see if I can find any clues to lift, lift the curse on you."

"Ah——yes, yes, there's Hu Yuan!" Shao Jingxing was a little ashamed. He was so worried about himself just now that he forgot about Hu Yuan!

Obviously, not everyone can come to this so-and-so private restaurant. Huo Qing can bring him here, it must be because he has entered the world of mountains and seas, but Hu Yuan can't, he can't get such a shelter.If he was left alone, his end might be the same as that of Xiao Zheng's wife.

Speaking of which, it's someone like Huo Qing who still misses a stranger at a time like this...

Shao Jingxing was very ashamed of his awareness: "Then thank you——"

Before he finished speaking, Huo Qing had already turned around and left the private restaurant. Maybe it was because Shao Jingxing was dazzled, but he actually felt that Huo Qing seemed to be running away, so he couldn't help turning to Gu Sheng in a daze—what's the matter?

Gu Sheng suppressed the smile at the corner of his mouth, and coughed too—he coughed more times today than in the previous year: "Did you feel anything when I was slapping you just now?" Now that he has coaxed people in, Business still needs to be done.

"Oh——" Shao Jingxing said quickly, "I feel a pain in the back of my head!" Need a vaccine?

Gu Sheng couldn't help but smiled: "It's not about the vaccine... Doing this vaguely means that your curse is related to that position. Think about it carefully, has anyone touched the back of your head in the past few days?"

How can I remember this... Shao Jingxing tried his best to recall for a long time, but still shook his head: "I can't remember..."

"It's okay." Gu Sheng said gently, "As long as you stay by your side, the curse will be slowly removed. But Xiao Shao, the problem is not that you are cursed, but why you are cursed. You know , if you can’t find the person who cast a curse on you, even if the curse is lifted this time, he can still cast a curse on you next time. When you identify a person, there are thousands of ways to cast a curse, it’s hard to guard against .”

Shao Jingxing's hairs stood on end at what he said, and he said with a mournful face, "I really can't think of anyone who would curse me, and I didn't offend anyone..." When he said this, he suddenly stopped—if someone would If you hate him, maybe there really is one?

Of course Gu Sheng would not miss his hesitation: "Have you thought of any clues?"

"No, it's unlikely, maybe I'm thinking too much..." Even if he donated all his property, Shao Zhongyan wouldn't hate him enough to want him to die, right?If he died, Shao Zhongyan probably wouldn't have a chance to have another son.

Gu Sheng didn't urge him, just said: "If you think of any clues, you can tell us—even if it's wrong, it doesn't matter, we can investigate slowly. Before that, if you have nothing else, I personally suggest you You can live here first, which can better protect your safety."

Shao Jingxing nodded his head, "Then it will cause trouble for you, Uncle Gu."

Gu Sheng waved his hand: "In a way, our job is the same as that of the police. It is our duty to protect the people. In this way, I will arrange a place for you first - but our room is also Not much, why don't you squeeze with Xiao Huo first, and I'll ask someone to make room for you in a few days?"

"No, no, no!" Shao Jingxing waved his hands quickly, "I'll live with Huo Qing!" In case he still has nightmares at night, Huo Qing will be more at ease by his side.At least Huo Qing seemed - he was much more reliable than a cat.

So Shao Jingxing stayed like this.

The second floor of the private restaurant is a row of rooms, Gu Sheng pushed away one of them: "Xiao Huo lives in this room."

Shao Jingxing was still looking around.I don't know why, although he only went up one flight of stairs, he always felt like he had entered another world, as if the stairs cut off the smoke-smelling air on the first floor.

Gu Sheng glanced at him with a smile.Shao Jingxing's sense is actually very keen. There is indeed a talisman array between the first floor and the second floor. It makes sense to say that there are two worlds, but ordinary people can't feel it at all.

This talent is really not bad, coupled with his special ability, it's no wonder that Huo Qing would rather lie than deceive people...

Of course Shao Jingxing didn't know Gu Sheng's evaluation of him, so he just withdrew his eyes from looking around and looked at Huo Qing's room.

This room looks like a double dormitory, but it is more clean and tidy than any dormitory Shao Jingxing has seen when he was in school - there are not many things, but everything is neatly arranged, such as the mouse on the computer desk And water glasses, and even the clothes on the back of the chair are all folded first.It's simply, unbelievably neat.

"You can sleep on this bed." Gu Sheng pointed to a single bed on the left.The bed was empty and apparently had been unoccupied.Gu Sheng took out clean bedding and pillows from the closet: "The place is a little small, I feel wronged..."

"No grievance, no grievance." Shao Jingxing quickly shook his head, took the quilt with a wink and made the bed himself.Now pointing at others to save their lives, why pick and choose?People haven't asked him for protection money yet.

"Little Shao——" Gu Sheng watched him make the bed, and talked as if he was doing something routine, "What are you doing now? Will living here affect your work?"

Work?Where does he have a job.In the past, his job was to hang out with his friends. If you want to put it this way, it is really not convenient to "work" living here.

"It's fine if it doesn't affect you." Gu Sheng didn't seem to notice Shao Jingxing's embarrassment when he talked about work, and continued, "It's not that I'm troublesome, it's just Xiao Shao, haven't you considered learning a little about this? Honestly Said that this time it is fortunate that you and Xiao Huo have a connection of green blood, otherwise——you would think that this nightmare is a curse, and would you ask him for help?"

Shao Jingxing's hairs stood on end again when Gu Sheng said it.

Of course not!Before Huo Qing suddenly appeared, although he was very surprised by the scars on his body, he didn't connect it with any curse at all-not to mention him, nine out of ten ordinary people would not think so, only Do you think it was an injury you made by chance?

"So, you still lack knowledge in this area." Gu Sheng's attitude was gentle and casual, as if the elders of the neighbors came to chat, "Although such things are rare, they do exist. You will feel that this knowledge is useless, but once you encounter it, if you are not vigilant, accidents are easy to happen..."

Shao Jingxing nodded unconsciously.In fact, after entering the world of mountains and seas twice, he already felt that his knowledge in this area was lacking.But because of his resistance to the world of mountains and seas, he did not take the initiative to learn this knowledge.But now that the curse incident happened, he suddenly realized that it wasn't that if he didn't learn, he wouldn't encounter problems. On the contrary, when he encountered problems, he found that he couldn't do it, and that was the worst.

"Uncle Gu, but these things... I have never known about these things, and I can't figure them out..." There are many sources of such ghostly things on the Internet, but most of them are probably made up. ?

Gu Sheng smiled slightly: "If you want to learn, you can ask Xiao Huo to teach you. Speaking of it, you can meet in the world of mountains and seas, and you can also establish a relationship through the blood of Qingfu. This is also a fate."

Shao Jingxing looked down at his wrist: "Is this green clam blood about to expire?" Thinking about whether this thing made Huo Qing feel that he was in danger, maybe in a few days when Huo Qing went to look for him again , he has turned into a corpse!

Thinking about it this way, Shao Jingxing wished he could put on a few more drops of green cockles blood.Gu Sheng was also very talkative: "The green clam that Xiao Huo brought back last time was handed in. I'll apply for it. I should still be able to get a few drops."

The two were talking when they heard a door open outside, and a female voice rang out along with the sound of slippers: "Slippery, baby, where have you been?"

Garfield, who was lying on the head of Shao Jingxing's bed, raised his head when he heard the sound, then jumped out of the bed and walked out.However, its movements were slow from beginning to end, and Shao Jingxing felt that it was suspected of being passive and sabotaging work.

But the people outside the door were obviously not affected at all. As soon as Garfield went out, a series of enthusiastic voices came: "Oh, you are still so cute today, come and let my sister kiss, MUA—"

Gu Sheng pressed his forehead: "Ji Xiaojiu, don't wake up in the morning just thinking about petting cats!"

"What do you want to do when you wake up and don't pet the cat?" The person outside the door said confidently, then poked his head in from the door, and Shao Jingxing saw the slightly raised hairline and the "broad" forehead because of it Son.

Of course, even though she has a big brain, this girl is still quite beautiful, but she has disheveled hair and is wearing a bright red Hanfu. If she looks at it in the middle of the night, she might look like a ghost...

Seeing her dressed like this, Gu Sheng's expression of headache became more obvious: "Why are you dressed like this so early in the morning?"

But the girl was indifferent to his complaints, and instead looked at Shao Jingxing with great interest: "Wow, is there a newcomer here? He's still a handsome guy, but his eyes are a bit heavy—— handsome guy, do you suffer from insomnia? There's a sleep spray that works well, you Do you want to try? I can send you the Taobao address—”

"Ji Yu!" Gu Sheng couldn't bear it and used his trump card, the girl with a big brain suddenly lost her voice, and showed Gu Sheng an expression of "Why are you like this".

Shao Jingxing almost burst out laughing - crucian carp, the name is delicious.

"This is Xiao Shao, Shao Jingxing." Gu Sheng ignored the resentful expression on the girl's head, and introduced Shao Jingxing, "This is Ji Xiaojiu, Keli's document. Let her sort out some basic information for you later. Take a look first, you can ask her if there is anything you don’t understand, she still has solid knowledge in this area.”

"So you're really a new colleague?" Ji Xiaojiu is very resistant to blows, and after a few cats, he's alive and well again, "What do you want to prepare for?"

"It's the most basic." Gu Sheng pondered for a moment, "Xiao Shao has never been exposed to these things, so you can make this biological illustrated book for him first."

Just as he was talking, the phone in his pocket rang, so he nodded to Shao Jingxing and went out to answer the phone.

"I have something to do early in the morning..." Ji Xiaojiu muttered, and sat down in front of the computer in the room with the cat in her arms. "Handsome guy, wait a moment, I will call up the illustration book for you in five minutes. Do you want to use the computer on the computer?" Take a look, or import it to your phone? It’s just that there are more moving pictures, which take up memory, do you have enough memory in your phone? If not, I’ll add a memory card for you?”

She spoke as quickly as beans poured from a bamboo tube, and while typing on the computer, she took the time to look at Shao Jingxing: "How did you get in here, handsome?"

Shao Jingxing replied honestly, "Huo Qing brought me here."

"Oh, Brother Huo——" Ji Xiaojiu opened his eyes wide, "This is rare. So what, do you want to live here? Do you want to live with Brother Huo?"

For some unknown reason, Shao Jingxing suddenly felt a little guilty: "No, I'm - just stay for a few days..."

"Only for a few days?" Ji Xiaojiu looked disappointed, "Aren't you a new colleague?"

Shao Jingxing had no choice but to explain his own affairs: "Uncle Gu said that the curse will be invalid if you are with Humu, so..."

"It turns out that you are—" Ji Xiaojiu slammed on the brakes, "Oh, cursing this thing is a bit troublesome, mainly because it is difficult to find out the source. You know, it's like seeing a doctor, you have to know It depends on what kind of disease you have to decide which medicine to take, otherwise even a small cold may eventually turn into myocarditis..."

Shao Jingxing felt that what she said made sense: "Fortunately, Huo Qing saved me and brought me here..." He stroked Garfield lying on the side, "If it's not confused, I don't even know what to do ..."

"Ahem——" Ji Xiaojiu showed a guilty expression on his face, and quickly turned the computer screen to Shao Jingxing, "The information is ready. Here are some pictures of common mutated animals and plants and an introduction to their habits. You should learn about them first. Wait for these After reading it, I will compile a copy of the supernatural power information for you, and it would be better to understand all of them. From now on, I will take care of the general knowledge. As for the physical training, I will leave it to Brother Huo."
