I don't know if it's her illusion, but in Lu Yangyang's eyes at this moment, even the color of the withered grass and broken trees in front of him has become brighter and richer, even revealing a strange color.
But just now, except for her loud sneeze, nothing special seemed to have happened in this small courtyard...
No.
Nothing happened.
Lu Yangyang looked behind her.
Just as she was sneezing, in order to clear a way for Madam, the servants of the mansion swung their swords and chopped down a section of acacia branch that was as thick as the wrist near the hole.
But that sword wasn't strong enough, it only cut off more than half of it, and now there is still a small piece of locust branch attached, which is about to fall.
Looking at it, Lu Yangyang always felt that something was wrong, so she stretched out her arms and bent the other plants that blocked her view, and stretched her neck to look carefully at the black locust branch.
After taking a closer look, I really saw the problem.
Black locust is a tree, lush and lush, it can grow tens of meters high, but what was cut down just now was just a single branch of the black locust tree, but after being cut down, it still looks majestic and straight, and the thin branches are still decorated with heavy The small vermilion flowers are too unique among the black and green weeds that are swaying here and there, curly and spreading wantonly.
After paying attention to it, and then looking around the small courtyard, Lu Yangyang found three other sections of locust branches that were exactly the same as it, growing in the southwest, northwest, and northeast triangles of the small courtyard...
It's the "Four Corners Seal"!
Now that the black locust branch in the southeast has been cut, and a corner of the seal has been damaged, the things that have been suppressed are naturally ready to move. If you want to restore everything to its original state, you must restore the seal immediately!
Brother Xie is not exactly a fool, he realized the problem only half a beat later than Lu Yangyang, and then he shot quickly, several thick yellow talisman papers were driven by him and flew towards Robinia, trying to stop the falling of the locust branches.
Seeing this, Lu Yangyang was relieved, and put down her tiptoes.
That's right, although Senior Brother Xie is a poor man, he has been studying talismans at Wangfeng Gate for much longer than her. Naturally, he can handle this situation.
However, she hadn't let go of her breath yet, and the few talismans Xie Shixiong had all weakened...
What's worse is that after this delay, the wound of the cut locust branch became even bigger, and it was so precarious that there was almost only a layer of bark left, and it inevitably began to fall crookedly...
The moment it fell down, the original earthy smell suddenly turned into a pungent bloody smell, and the screams of livestock and beasts in the wind swept over, making the whole yard extremely eerie and cold!
Everyone in the Liu Manor wanted to run away in panic, but their feet were as stiff as if they had taken root!
A frail maid even rolled her eyes after trembling for a long time, fell to the ground, and passed out!
This kind of breath also made Lu Yangyang uncomfortable.
Feeling the vegetation around her consciously approaching her, and seeing that senior brother Xie had folded his arms and shook like a sieve, Lu Yangyang had no choice but to loosen the red rope on his wrist.
Then she flicked her fingertips, and a small, hidden white spot of light flew out and landed on one of the talisman papers in front of her.
When it encountered the white light, the talisman paper, which was so soft that it was about to fall to the ground, suddenly trembled!
It straightened up in an instant, and then, like a bull, it slammed into the locust branch, and quickly wrapped up its broken opening tightly like a bandage, and it fell down completely just a little bit The black locust branch pulled back, and even because it was wrapped so tightly, it even forcibly narrowed the branch.
It was at this moment that the evil spirit that suppressed everyone suddenly dissipated.
The black locust branch returned to its original straight appearance, and the weeds that seemed to be alive and wanted to stretch their veins became silent again.
Everything just now seemed to have never happened.
Brother Xie, whose knees were bent with fright, clasped his hands tightly, and was trembling, was the first to react.
Realizing that the danger was no longer there, he immediately let go of his hands and patted his robe in order.
Patting, he turned his head and looked at Lu Yangyang suspiciously.
Lu Yangyang still had that honest look.
I don't know who breathed a sigh of relief first, and the other people in the yard gradually came back to their senses.
The maid who had passed out slowly woke up, but the servants with weak legs couldn't stand still and fell to the ground. However, they were not ashamed, but instead showed the joy of being alive after the catastrophe.
"Sister." The youngest maid tightly tugged on the sleeve of the eldest maid, "What happened just now?"
After one person made a sound, everyone couldn't help but make a sound.
"very scary..."
"My legs were weak just now."
"Mr. Xie used the talisman!"
"Amazing!"
"Did you see that talisman?!"
...
Madam Liu also stroked her chest and took a deep breath, sincerely thanking her, "Mr. is very capable!"
This series of words of praise woke up Senior Brother Xie who was still looking at Lu Yangyang suspiciously.
good.
He thought to himself, Lu Yangyang, a little beggar, has been in the mountains to learn talismans for less than a month, and he hasn't even learned how to draw talismans. Evil aura is contained so thoroughly?
This is naturally the skill of an inner disciple of Wangfengmen like him!
He felt complacent in his heart, but kept humbly saying "I dare not take it". But before he pretended to say a few words, he accidentally tripped over a few clusters of viburnum growing together, and almost fell to the ground.
He immediately kicked it a few times angrily!
But the plant didn't move at all except for shaking slightly. On the contrary, his toes were severely knocked.
Thinking of the abnormal state of the black locust tree after it was cut down, Senior Brother Xie was afraid that there would be another accident, so he could only take a detour in resentment.
Lu Yangyang followed behind and happened to pass by the cluster of pod ferns.
Without thinking about it, she dialed it casually.
The cluster of pod ferns, which were as tough as tough rocks, broke off immediately with a "bang".
"..."
Facing Senior Brother Shangjie's gaze turning back again, Lu Yangyang picked up the broken pod fern in his hand without changing his face, pretending nothing happened.
As soon as Senior Brother Xie turned around, she quickly inserted the plant back into the soil, and tightened the red rope on her wrist again!
Then, she puffed up her cheeks and patted the back of her hand angrily as she walked.
Pig skull!
Always forget!
...
The danger is temporarily lifted, but Ah Xiang hasn't found it yet.
Although she was shocked by the accident just now, but now everything is calm, Madam Liu felt that she couldn't let go of Ah Xiang, so she tried to ask her brother for help.
The servant was hopeless, and everyone gathered around the senior brother, and no one dared to go deep.
Brother Xie was also a little timid, but thinking that he had solved the crisis just now with a single talisman, his courage grew a lot.
However, he didn't want to take too many risks.
So, he called Lu Yangyang and told her to open the way first.
Lu Yangyang thought for a while: "Brother, I'm afraid too."
In order to make her frightened look more real, she also deliberately recalled the appearance of the most coquettish senior sister in Wangfeng Gate, and fluttered her round Xingxing eyes pitifully.
Her soft face is very suitable for pretending to be pitiful, and the thick and long eyelashes that are curled up make her look more like a bunny.
It's a pity that senior brother Xie only has fame and fortune in his eyes, and he never engages in such things as sympathy and pity.
"Hurry up!"
Lu Yangyang could only grab the grass and walk in.
Little Fragrance Pig didn't see it, but instead saw a lot of plants up close during the search.
She recognized several of them. These kinds of common weeds outside, even if left unchecked, can barely grow up to the ankles, and then they can grow up to the roots of the legs at most, and it is absolutely impossible to be higher than a person's waist.
After careful observation, she found that the green and black leaves of the plants and trees were actually mixed with the brown color of dried blood...
Sure enough, this yard was full of something wrong from the very beginning.
Continuing to look down, she walked to the black locust branch in the northeast corner, and accidentally found a corner of a talisman buried under the black locust branch.
It's a talisman folded into a triangle, and there is a red letter on the exposed piece, like a deformed "Yu".
She had been in Wangfeng Gate to learn talismans for a short time, and she couldn't see any way to do it, but she was a little bit concerned about the word that might be "Yu", so she called Senior Brother Xie over.
Senior Brother Xie didn't want to come in, but Lu Yangyang called him a lot of times. If he didn't come in again, he would be scared, so he could only go in reluctantly.
However, the moment he saw the corner talisman clearly, his expression changed drastically, and he immediately got down and covered the talisman with some soil with his hands!
But even so, his eyes were still full of surprise and uncertainty. Just now he found that the seal was broken and he was able to cast the amulet calmly, but now he couldn't stay for a moment, and hurried out of the yard as if fleeing.
"Ah Xiang is not in the courtyard!" He told Mrs. Liu decisively.
Mrs. Liu was surprised: "But the red line is not..."
Senior Brother Xie: "There is another possibility for the spirit-seeking talisman to appear in the same situation as just now. Axiang once came to the courtyard and stayed there for a long time, but it left again not long ago."
After hearing these words, Lu Yangyang glanced at him.
Brother Xie is lying.
As mentioned before in teaching the spirit-seeking talisman, there is only one situation where the red line of the spirit-seeking talisman stops, that is, the thing being looked for is there!
But she did feel that there was no smell of other living things in the yard, otherwise she would have been able to find Axiang directly...
Lu Yangyang was still pondering in perplexity, Senior Brother Xie was already eager to leave.
But he still forced his expression to be more natural, and continued to explain to Mrs. Liu: "...even if I use the talisman again now, the result will not change. It will take a while to use it again. When the time is right, I will visit again ."
Mrs. Liu has seen his ability, so she has no doubts about his words, and he will do what he says.
"Then this yard?"
Brother Xie: "That tree has been sealed by my talisman. As long as you don't touch it, it will be fine. But the hole needs to be filled as soon as possible to restore the yard to its original state."
"I'll call someone to make it up right away!"
"That's good."
...
The other people in the house didn't know that something like this happened in the yard.
In the lobby, three maids were packing up the cups that Madam Liu broke.
The maid whose wife threw the cup picked up the fragments of the cup, feeling uneasy: "You guys think, can Ah Xiang be found this time?"
"Sure."
The second maid twisted the tea-soaked coarse cloth.
"The one who came this time was the talisman master from Wangfengmen! My mother told me that more than 20 years ago, there was a severe drought in my hometown, and there was no harvest. Many people died of starvation. It was the talisman master from Wangfengmen who passed by. Hearing about this, I drew a talisman for the town, and then begged for heavy rain to save the people in our town, what a god!"
The third maid, who was fatter, took out a peanut from her sleeve and stuffed it into her mouth, and said cheerfully: "I don't know if I am a god or not, but that talisman teacher is really handsome, and the female talisman artist is also... ..."
As she spoke, she suddenly stopped: "That female talisman... eh? What does she look like..."
"I just know how to eat, my brain is ruined! You don't remember, I remember, she..."
"she..."
Several maids wanted to say something, but they suddenly found that the vivid memory of Lu Yangyang in their minds suddenly seemed like an ink painting that had been splashed with water, and the ink marks outlining the girl's facial features gradually faded away, and they could no longer see clearly.
