I gasped in shock. According to Su Xiaoniu, these were all powerful magical instruments. How could they be buried at the bottom of the well? I asked Su Xiaoniu curiously, but she replied, "Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask. You're such a whiner! - Take these magical instruments, put my clothes back in the bag, and bury them in the same place."
I pursed my lips. Since these clothes belonged to Su Xiaoniu, then, I suspect, these magical instruments might have been used by her when she was still alive. I just don't know why they were buried at the bottom of the well. Were they afraid of being discovered? Or stolen?
After burying the bundle back where it came from, I still hadn't figured it out. I cleaned up the three instruments and then drew a few more talismans: the Golden Light Mantra Talisman, the Small Golden Light Talisman, and the protective amulet.
The amulet is folded into the shape of Bagua and hidden in the chest. Its power is equal to that of the round mirror, but it is more durable than the round mirror.
The Golden Light Divine Mantra, a more powerful version of the Golden Light Talisman, is a fundamental Taoist mantra, known for its ability to purify the body and mind and protect against external demonic influences. It's also practiced by practitioners of the Martial Arts to sense potential dangers in their surroundings. Of course, its greatest power lies in its ability to dispel evil spirits and suppress evil spirits, possessing immense power.
Before drawing the Golden Light Mantra Talisman, one must chant the mantra and make the Golden Light Seal with their hands, which is quite complicated and tedious. Due to time constraints, I only drew two Golden Light Mantra Talismans, three amulets, and five small Golden Light Talismans, which I carry with me.
Other ritual implements, such as the Three Pure Ones bell and agarwood burner, were placed in the travel backpack along with candles, copper coins, yellow paper, and red thread. However, the Tianpeng ruler was too long to fit in the bag, with half of the end sticking out.
After everything was ready, I looked at the time and saw that it was about ten minutes before two o'clock in the afternoon. I drank some water, walked out of Su Xiaoniu's hometown, and walked a few steps to the Zhang family's residence.
Zhang Haitao seemed to have just finished preparing something. He came out of the house and said to me when he saw me, "Xiao Fei, are you ready?"
I patted my travel bag and said with a smile, "We're ready. We can leave at any time."
Zhang Haitao glanced at my travel bag. Perhaps he found the Tianpeng ruler on my back a little strange. He was stunned for a moment, but didn't say anything. He nodded and pushed his dusty motorcycle out.
Ever since hearing that his granddaughter was missing, Grandpa Zhang has been locked in his room and refused to come out. Before leaving, Zhang Haitao and I left a message saying that we were going to find Xuanxuan and asked him to take care of himself.
The motorcycle sped off, leaving Tianhe Road and Jiangzhou City. Zhang Haitao didn't bring anything with him when he left, which surprised me at first. But after a while, the motorcycle stopped at Xijiao Teahouse outside Jiangzhou City.
Zhang Haitao said he would take me to meet two people, and I followed him into the teahouse.
This teahouse has a unique, antique feel, reminiscent of a siheyuan (a courtyard house). The tranquil and unique environment creates a truly unique experience. Sitting beneath the ancient willow tree with its birdcage hanging in the courtyard, savoring a cup of tea while listening to the birds chirping in the branches is truly a beautiful experience.
I was unknowingly drawn to this place. Following Zhang Haitao's footsteps, I entered the teahouse and saw a sturdy man emerge. He only had one left eye; his right eye was covered with a black cloth, perhaps because he was blind or something. His sturdy arms were covered with bloodstains.
The man walked up to Zhang Haitao and greeted him, "Brother Tao."
Zhang Haitao hummed and said, "Lao Sha, are all the things ready?"
Lao Sha nodded and said, "Everything is ready, but the madam hasn't arrived yet."
"Wait a moment." Zhang Haitao said, pointing at me and introducing me: "This is Xiaofei I told you about before. - Xiaofei, this is my friend in the industry, Lao Sha."
Old Sha... I shook hands with the one-eyed man with a frown on my face and said very politely, "Hello, Uncle Sha."
Lao Sha scratched his head and said with a simple smile: "Just call me Lao Sha."
"Uh..." I smiled and called him Lao Sha.
Afterwards, we sat down at the teahouse and drank tea for a while. The tea here is truly extraordinary, refreshing with a hint of sweetness, delicate in taste, and delicious. I drank several cups in a row. However, I didn't know the rules here, and was amused by Zhang Haitao and Lao Sha.
Just when I was feeling embarrassed, a car horn honked outside. Lao Sha jumped up and said, "The madam is here!"
A brothel owner? I instinctively turned toward the teahouse entrance, only to see a voluptuous woman walk in. She was wearing a black leather jacket, the chest open to reveal a V-neck cleavage, estimated at a D cup. She was wearing black leather shorts, revealing her snow-white thighs, and knee-high leather boots. As she approached, her footsteps made a clattering, clattering sound.
He wore leather gloves on both hands and a bundle of thick rope was tied around his waist.
The most fatal thing was that she came in with a cigarette in her mouth, ignoring the other people in the teahouse, and walked straight to us. She opened her bright red lips and said in a very charming voice: "Hey~ Brother Tao, am I not late?"
Zhang Haitao looked somewhat helpless. He took a sip of tea and said, "That's perfect. Get ready and we'll be off."
The madam took a puff of her cigarette, her eyes fixed on me. A sly smile crossed her alluring face. "Is this handsome boy coming with us too?"
"Yes." Zhang Haitao introduced me to the brothel owner. This brothel owner was also one of his friends in the industry. Like Lao Sha, she was one of his two most trusted partners. This time, he only invited the two of them.
However, what made me depressed was that this brothel owner seemed to have a strong interest in me. She walked up to me and kept looking at me, especially the Tianpeng ruler on my back. She was even more eager to take advantage of it. She also kept using her body to seduce me and asked me to show her the Tianpeng ruler.
