Chapter 480 The Confucian Mantra: Oblivion and Unknown
"Sir, do you have something important to say? Ah..."
Zhu Xiucai came quickly.
After hearing Qin Shaoyou's instructions, he ducked and ran over.
Then……
He hit a pillar under the eaves.
"Are you okay?" Qin Shaoyou asked concernedly.
Zhu Xiucai rubbed his forehead where he hit the pillar and replied emotionally: "Don't worry, sir, there is no way a collision of this magnitude can hurt me."
"I know you'll be fine, and I didn't ask you. I asked the pillar...don't break this pillar. It will be troublesome to replace it."
When Qin Shaoyao said this, he stepped forward to take a look and made sure that there were no cracks on the pillars. He breathed a sigh of relief and then asked: "Did you find a notebook with notes in Big Mouse's house?"
"Shang Shu"?"
Big Rat is the codename of Yongli in this operation.
In the Demon Division of Mianyuan County, several people, including Sun Xianzong, were planted with black lotus by Monk Tomorrow.
Qin Shaoyou was not sure whether he would be able to detect the movements of the Demon Division of Mianyuan County through these black lotus when he met the monk tomorrow, so it was better to be cautious.
"Yes, the book is currently in the evidence room." Zhu Xiucai nodded.
He was deeply impressed by the book "Shang Shu", because the insights and insights written in the book were very unique, which benefited him a lot after reading it. He even planned to apply to borrow the book after the case was over and study it hard.
,study.
But now he is very curious: Why did Mr. Zongqi suddenly mention that "Shang Shu"?
Is there any secret hidden in that book?
But Zhu Xiucai abided by discipline, suppressed his curiosity, and did not ask questions.
Qin Shaoyou told him: "Go and get it quickly."
Zhu Xiucai said yes and immediately called a night watchman on duty and asked him to help him to the evidence room.
When he got the "Shang Shu" from the evidence room and returned to Qiu Shi's room, Tu Huang also arrived.
At Qin Shaoyou's signal, Zhu Xiucai handed the book into Tu Huang's hands.
Tuhuang flipped through it, chanted a few more incantations, and then shook his head.
"This book is no good. There is no breath left on it. Maybe it's because the time has passed so long that the breath has dispersed."
If an object is often played and used by its owner, it will leave the owner's atmosphere.
But if left for a long time, the owner's aura on the object will gradually dissipate.
Qin Shaoyou knows this rule, but he has a question: "Does anyone have no breath?"
"Yes." Tu Huang nodded.
Upon hearing this answer, not only Qin Shaoyou, but also Zhu Xiucai realized something was wrong.
Zhu Xiucai frowned and expressed his opinion: "Big Mouse is a scholar. The insights and experiences in this book are very tempting for a scholar. Even if he does not read this book all the time,
It must be read every day. After spending several months together day and night, there must be a trace of his breath left in this book, right?"
When they first found this book "Book of Secrets" in Yong Li's home, the book was placed beside Yong Li's pillow. At the same time, there were many reading notes written by Yong Li on the desk. It can be seen that Yong Li had a deep appreciation for this book.
, absolutely can’t put it down.
Under normal circumstances, this "Shang Shu" should at least be tainted with the atmosphere of Yong Li.
If it doesn't, then it's definitely not normal.
After listening to Zhu Xiucai's words, Tuhuang also realized that this "Shang Shu" was abnormal, and guessed: "It seems that an expert from the Confucian school has applied mantra to this book, hiding the breath that the book should have."
."
He tried to decipher the truth spell in the book, but to no avail.
"Either our judgment was wrong, this is an ordinary book, and there is no power of power; or it is this power of power, which is of a very high level..."
"I think the latter is more likely." Qin Shao said.
He remembered what happened to the fat aunt's daughter. Since Lao Zhangtou has the ability to seal other people's memories and hide the aura in books, it is naturally not difficult.
Tan Huang nodded.
"I think so too, so I have to ask Senior Brother Cui and Junior Sister Su to come over."
With a wave of his hand, several talismans flew out of his sleeves and turned into butterflies and flew out of the house.
After a while, Cui Youyou, Zeng Cong, Wen Zhu, Su Jianqing, and Su Tingyu, five disciples of the Jade Emperor Temple, all came to Qiu Shi's room.
Cui Yougui asked as soon as he arrived: "Junior Brother Tu, why did you call me here? I'm busy practicing."
It was obvious that he was dissatisfied with being interrupted in his practice. If it hadn't been for Tuhuang Chuan's talisman, he probably wouldn't have been so polite.
Who made Tuhuang good at drawing talismans? Why did he ask for help?
Thinking of the talisman, he felt a little distressed, so he added: "It's such a close distance, and we're here as soon as you shout, so what are you wasting the talisman for?"
Qin Shaoyou was afraid that Senior Brother Cui and Tu Huang would quarrel, so he quickly said: "I asked Senior Brother Tu to invite you all here. I ask for your help if I have something serious to do."
He gave an overview of the situation.
After Cui Yougui listened, he immediately became interested. He took the "Book of Secretaries" from Tuhuang's hand, looked over it over and over, and recited mantras and cast spells.
But he also gained nothing.
So he concluded: "If this book is really not an ordinary book, then the great Confucian must have applied the power of truth to it, otherwise it would be impossible to hide it from me!"
Qin Shaoyou shook his head gently in his heart.
Senior Brother Cui is really not pretending well.
But he didn't say much, and just asked: "Suppose this book is enchanted with power words, can you decipher it?"
"It's hard to say, but you can try."
For the rare occasion, Cui Youwei did not continue to show off, perhaps because the mantra in this book put pressure on him.
He glanced at the several junior brothers and sisters in the room and asked: "Junior Brother Tu called us here to decipher the mantra in the book using the Yin-Yang Five Elements Formation?"
Tu Huang nodded: "That's right."
Cui Yougui immediately urged: "Then what are you waiting for? Let's get started. Finish it as soon as possible and continue practicing as soon as possible."
Tuhuang immediately took out the corresponding formation materials and set up a Yin-Yang Five Elements formation in Qiu Shi's room.
However, the core of this formation is the seven Taoist priests of Jade Emperor Temple.
Zeng was good at refining weapons, and his spiritual energy was mainly of gold nature, and he stood in the golden position in the magic circle.
Wenzhu was proficient in alchemy and medical methods, but his aura was partial to wood, so he came to the wood position.
Qiu Shi supports Gu insects, while earth nature is responsible for nourishment and breeding, so he is responsible for the position of earth.
Tuhuang and Cui Youwei, one is good at splashing ink and drawing talismans, and his aura is mainly water, and the other is good at flames and explosions, and naturally has a stronger fire nature. They stand on the water and fire in the magic circle respectively.
As for the two sisters, Su Jianqing and Su Tingyu, one is a ghost, one is yang and the other is yin, they happen to be responsible for the yin and yang eyes in this magic circle.
After the seven people were in place, they chanted mantras in unison to activate the magic circle.
Qin Shaoyou pulled Zhu Xiucai back to the door, so as not to hinder the seven Taoist priests from casting spells and forming formations, and at the same time, he also monitored the outside of the house to avoid prying eyes.
"Buzz——"
Colorful spiritual power rose from the bodies of the seven people. After gathering together, they blasted towards the "Book of Secretaries" placed in the center of the array.
"Click——"
Qin Shaoyou, who was standing at the door, seemed to hear the sound of something breaking.
Then he heard an old voice chanting: "Obscure and unknown."
The words quickly turned into a cacophony of noise.
Qin Shaoyou knew that the seven Taoist priests of Jade Emperor Temple had succeeded.
The mantra imposed by the great Confucian scholar in the Book of History was deciphered by the combined efforts of everyone and the magic circle.
Tuhuang waved his hand, used the method of retrieving objects from the air, took the "Book of Secrets" into his hand, kneaded the secrets and recited the incantation.
"How is it? Are you breathing now?" Qin Shaoyou asked.
"Yes."
Tuhuang closed his eyes and sensed the atmosphere in "Shang Shu" through magic.
"In this book, there are mainly the breaths of three people, two old and one newer."
now it's right.
The two old auras must be Lao Zhangtou and Zhang Xiaoni.
The new one is Yongli.
Qin Shaoyou immediately handed over his hand: "Please ask Brother Tu and Brother Qiu to send out paper figures and Gu insects to help me go to Guankou County to search for the owners of the two old auras."
"Take orders."
Tuhuang and Qiu Shi accepted the order.
Immediately afterwards, Tu Huang took out a pile of talismans from his arms and threw them out.
After these talismans landed on the ground, they swayed and turned into palm-sized paper figures. They could still communicate with each other, but the words they spoke were not human words, but the sound of paper rubbing together.
A group of palm-sized paper figures sniffed around "Shang Shu", and after remembering the scents of Lao Zhangtou and Zhang Xiaoni, they all floated out of the room in the wind.
The silly roe deer Qingji, who was standing around outside the house to watch the fun, but was blocked by magic, immediately noticed the group of paper figures.
"Little man, little man."
"As big as us."
They were so excited that they wanted to surround them and see what was going on with these paper figures, but the paper figures rode the wind and disappeared into the sunshine.
The Qingjis were stunned and didn't understand where the paper man had gone, so they hurriedly looked for it.
But Qin Shaoyou knew that these paper figures did not really disappear, they were just hiding in dark places where they were not easily discovered.
After Tuhuang released the paper man, Qiu Shi also pulled out a gourd from his waist.
After removing the plug, a group of Gu insects crawled out.
From the appearance, these Gu insects look like damselflies, with a blue-purple luster all over their bodies, and they spread their four wings while shaking their heads.
Like the paper figures, they also circled around "Shang Shu" first, and after confirming their breath, they flapped their wings and flew out of the Demon Suppression Division at extremely fast speeds, towards the direction of Guankou County.
The Qingjis rode bamboo horses and tried to catch up, but they couldn't catch up.
It's not that they don't have these Gu insects to fly, it's that Qin Shaoyou released his blood energy to stop them.
"Sir...sir."
At this time, Zhu Xiucai beside Qin Shaoyou suddenly spoke.
He seemed very excited, not only did his breathing become thicker, but his voice was also trembling.
This made Qin Shaoyou a little surprised and didn't understand what was wrong with him.
Is it because of the paper man that Brother Tu released just now?
Qin Shaoyou suddenly remembered that Zhu Xiucai had been plotting against Cui Youwei's paper figurine.
Could it be that he has taken a liking to Brother Tu’s paper man?
But Brother Tu's paper man is only as big as a palm, can he, Zhu Xiucai, even look at it? Can he also use it?
