Just ask the magic conch: Where did he get the ashes of 12 people? !

1988 also couldn't answer: This tm is a criminal case!Killed someone and painted with the ashes of the victim... creepy...

Haha strange: Aren't you still investigating? Think about the good, what if he went to the crematorium to steal the ashes?

Penguin Goose: An art student who only uses paint and never adds strange additives passes by. By the way, popular science: Ji Qing just passed away two months ago.

Runyu: After watching popular science, Jiqing became famous a year ago because he painted "Father" with his father's ashes. A year later, he died suddenly at home with unknown causes. What a superstitious development! ?

Congee Dashan: Even Ji Qing is dead, what else can we find out?

After returning from Zhen's house, Xu Xinwen, in order to thank Zhou Jiran for saving his and Zhen Nuo's lives, took care of him carefully and meticulously for a week. Spirituality has gone up a level.

When Tao Jiang went to Zhou Weiran's appointment, he was relieved to see him so energetic.

Zhou Ziran asked Tao Jiang to come out because of the Zhen family's affairs. The last time they finished their affairs, they went back to school directly and did not see the rest of the Zhen family.But Zhen Nuo told her family the whole story, and the police report after calling the police also confirmed her words.This shocked the Zhen family into a cold sweat and was terrified. If Zhou Jiran hadn't solved the ghost in the painting, a massacre might happen to their family at any time.

Father Zhen is a businessman, and he had heard some supernatural stories with his business partners before, but he never thought that it would happen in his own home.Knowing that it was Zhou Jiran who saved their family, he has been struggling with how to repay him.

Then Zhou already received a text message from the bank, the reward from the rich is really irresistible, hehe.

Of course, such a happy thing should be shared with friends. After Zhou Jiran held his mobile phone for a while, he immediately sent a message to Tao Jiang—come out and share the money.

Tao Jiang: "Is your hand still not healed?"

Zhou Jiran sipped the milk tea with his fingers wrapped in bandages, and smiled nonchalantly: "It's okay, I bit it a little harder at that time."

Tao Jiang suddenly discovered that Zhou already had a small, inconspicuous canine tooth. Perhaps the two dimples when he smiled were so eye-catching that people overlooked other cute features.

"I asked you to come out to do business." Zhou already straightened his expression and put on a serious look: "I have seriously thought about starting a business together as you mentioned earlier, and to tell you the truth, I only learned alchemy. Two months, a lot of money, and I'm still holding the hatred of a female ghost, I can't cheat you."

After hearing Zhou Weiran's words, Tao Jiang's expression was a bit complicated: "You have only studied for two months?"

Zhou Jiran nodded honestly: "Although my grandfather is in this business, he can't teach me. I only really came into contact with this two months ago."

Tao Jiang: "...you may have misunderstood the dishes."

After only two months of learning, he can violently kill ghosts and still call himself a dish, so where do those people in the Taoist sect who have devoted themselves to practice for many years put their faces.

Zhou Jiran is not pretending to be modest. Although his grandfather often told him some short stories about catching ghosts and eliminating demons, he has never really seen them.The only Taoist person he has ever met is his grandfather. Both grandparents and grandchildren are taught by Tianmeng, and they are all served by the patriarch. Compared with his grandfather, he feels that he is a rookie.

"I have ancient books on metaphysics and Taoism at home, and I am not ignorant of this." Tao Jiang said seriously: "In ancient times, there were people in the Song Dynasty who became immortals in sixteen steps, and there were also people who struggled for a lifetime but could not reach the threshold. His talent will never be the latter."

The tails of Tao Jiang's eyes are slightly raised, the lines are smooth and graceful, and the eyelashes are too thick and slender. Such eyes have their own hooks, but the pupils are black and clean, and Qing Lingling looks only three points cold.

Such eyes staring at you with full seriousness, who can bear it?Zhou Jiran quickly blinked twice and looked away, "Then you also learned Taoism?"

Tao Jiang shook his head: "I'm the one without talent."

Zhou already felt that he had accidentally poked his sore spot, and felt a little regretful in his heart, but he didn't know what to say to save him, so he could only say dryly: "It's okay, 36 lines will make you the champion..."

Tao Jiang didn't care: "Although I can't learn Taoism, it's okay to pass you a talisman."

Obviously this is an understatement, but it is impossible to refuse.

Zhou Jiran looked at his face and said in his heart, this is probably the hardest thing to bear the grace of a beauty......

There was no way to refuse, so he could only accept it, and don't divide the money. Zhou already drank the milk tea: "Zhen Nuo's father gave me 20 yuan in my card, let's use it as our initial capital." Passionate: "Let's rent a house and use it as a studio!" As the main output force, it's not too much for him to ask for a game room, right?

Tao Jiang thought for a while: "There is no need to rent a house, my house is very big, and I live alone."

Zhou already thought that the house Tao Jiang mentioned might be a villa similar to Zhen Nuo's, but he didn't expect Tao Jiang to lead him directly to an ancient house.

There is a bronze plaque hanging on the side of the gate, and on it are a few big square characters - the key cultural relics protection point of the new city.

"Tao House." Zhou Jiran looked at the plaque hanging above the gate that was at least three meters high and asked sincerely, "Does your family have a mine?"

Tao's house is located in the neighborhood of Xiao'er Yeti that was dealt with last week. Although this neighborhood is an old neighborhood for some years, it has an excellent location. It is in the busiest city center. Two steps away from the gate of the neighborhood is the business. Streets and shopping plazas, housing prices here can be described as very expensive.Just looking at the screen wall outside the gate of this house, one can tell that the area inside is not small.

Tao Jiang is not a hidden rich second generation, is he?

Then this idea was quickly shattered after Tao Jiang opened the door.

After the door is opened, the goal is a brick screen wall with four gods and beasts in relief. Although it has become dilapidated due to the years of wind and rain, standing in front of it can only feel the majesty and silence.

Zhou already stood in front of the three-meter-high screen wall and looked at it quietly for a long time, "The four gods and beasts carved on the screen wall are quite unique."

He remembered that the twelve zodiac signs carved on the screen wall outside the gate were not common patterns.

There are roughly three functions of the screen wall outside the gate of the ancient house and the screen wall inside the door. One is to gather popularity and wealth, the other is to drive away ghosts and ghosts, and the third is to buffer the air flow and block evil spirits.There is a saying in Feng Shui that "the song is sentimental", which means that no matter whether the river or the air flow is taboo to go straight, the screen wall and the wall are Fengshui walls, which can dissolve Fengshui and avoid evil spirits. Most people will choose to carve longevity characters or bats, landscape pictures, etc. The patterns that symbolize longevity, even in Taoist temples, are mostly carved with cranes or pine trees.

Using the four gods and beasts is too powerful, which is not good for the family.

Tao Jiang explained: "The screen wall and this house were built in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties. They were included in the list of key cultural relics protection more than ten years ago. Except for the unified installation of electric wires in the community many years ago, the internal structure inside has never been touched."

Zhou Jiran looked at the weeds that were almost half a meter high on the ground and said quietly: "It can be seen." Zhou Jiran felt incredible: "You have been living here?"

Tao Jiang looked calm and didn't think there was anything wrong: "During this time, I have been busy with part-time jobs at school and didn't come back to weed. The weeds will inevitably grow faster at the turn of spring and summer."

Zhou has already been persuaded and accepted the setting that he lives in an old house in the city center and needs to come back regularly to pull weeds.

Bypassing the screen wall is the inner courtyard. In the middle of the courtyard is an ancient ginkgo tree as thick as three people hugging each other. This ginkgo tree is growing very well, and its lush branches and leaves cover almost half of the courtyard.The weather in May is already a bit hot and dry, but when you enter the yard, you only feel quiet and cool.

Look carefully at the roots of the tree, and there are some stone-like rough and dignified. It is said that only ginkgo trees that are more than a hundred years old can grow ginkgo shoots.

"This tree is also a protected cultural relic." Tao Jiang said: "It is nearly [-] years old."

Zhou Jiran asked sincerely: "Tao Jiang, isn't it stressful for you to live here?" Everything here, even a tree, is an ancestor.

Tao Jiang glanced at him and said, "You will know after you move in."

Zhou already regretted that he promised too soon.

Generally speaking, the Tao House is an ancient house with a relatively simple structure. Although it occupies a large area, it is generally a quadrangle in the shape of a square, and the inner courtyard is full of living areas except for an ancestral hall.

What's more miserable is that except for the ancestral hall and the wing where Tao Jiang lives, the other places are so dilapidated that they seem to have been unoccupied for hundreds of years... Maybe they really haven't been inhabited for hundreds of years.

Tao Jiang: "This is a historic site. Although the property right is in my name, I can't renovate the building structure without permission. I have been living alone for the past few years and my ability is limited, so I only repaired a few houses."

Although Zhou Jiran's major is architecture, he doesn't know much about it. "Repair costs are expensive?"

"It's not all." Tao Jiang felt helpless, "This house is a brick and wood structure with too many carvings, especially there are murals in the ancestral hall. Architectural structure, so it costs more."

Looking at the quaint and chic carved wooden door, Zhou already agrees. Such a beautiful building naturally takes time and money to maintain.

"How much did you spend on the repairs?" Zhou Jiran asked curiously, "That's why you took a part-time job right now?"

"This is indeed part of the reason for the part-time job. It has cost more than [-] yuan one after another," Tao Jiang replied: "The restoration of the murals in the ancestral hall was a gift from the teacher of the Cultural Relics Restoration Department who was very skilled and friendly."

Zhou Jiran was in awe of Tao Jiang when he heard the words. He was wrong before, not everything in it, including the trees, are ancestors, but the house itself is the ancestors. Where is the house where he lives, it is clearly a money-swallowing machine.

Tao Jiang explained: "There are two wing rooms that have been repaired, and you can live next to me."

Looking at the ancient and quiet environment in front of him, as well as the study room that he visited just now, which has an entire bookshelf of ancient books on Taoism, Zhou Ji was shamefully moved.

Action is worse than heartbeat, Zhou said excitedly: "Then let's pull out the weeds now! Create a good and livable environment, and run towards a happy life together!"
