617 Blue Bricks

a tracksuit for you. They're all custom-designed by designers."She was still tugging at my collar, looking inside: “Your flower tattoo is so alluring… Wow, imagining a scene with [censored], I'm gonna...Lin Yanqin was too concerned and blurted it out. She should have let my brother lead the conversation first.

My brother quickly remedied, "Master Yi, I didn't expect to meet you here. This girl is used to being spoiled and has no manners. Please don't be angry."

Yi Lao Tou looked at my brother suspiciously, unsure of our origins. He cautiously asked, "You guys don't seem like ordinary people. Did you come to find me"

"How could we possibly bring along all these cats and dogs We wouldn't even come to see you if we had to! We just came to the temple fair, never expecting to run into you here!"

My brother's attitude was very sincere, and Lao Yi's expression softened slightly.

"You said I gave something to your father, who is your father" Yi Laotou looked at Lin Yanqin.

Lin Yanqin bit her lip and looked at my brother.

"It's too late to make up lies now, isn't it" My brother asked with a smile, "How much have you given away in the past year You know the answer yourself."

Yi Lao Tou let out two dry chuckles: "Heh heh, I do have a good idea... Are you the younger generation of the Lin family"

Lin Yanqin nodded and said, "Because the amulet you gave my father carries a bit of negative energy, we were worried it would harm his health, so I sounded a little rushed. I'm sorry."

Yi Laotou squinted at Lin Yanqin and nodded, "I understand... you youngsters hear things and believe them readily. I reckon some inexperienced person said that thing carried yin qi, so you believed him"

Ahem ahem... Someone with shallow cultivation

Are you talking about me

That thing is definitely imbued with negative energy.

As he slowly packed up his stall, he said: "That thing I took from the fangs of a zombie mastiff raised by a sorcerer back in my younger days... The mastiff was loyal and protective, though it carried some negative energy. Its sharp teeth have the effect of dispelling demons, warding off evil, preventing gossip, and stopping malicious talk. Seeing your father's dangerous situation now, I gave it to him... Those who don't understand would naturally say things about its negativity…"

"Am I considered 'uninformed' again" I looked at Jiang Qiyun beside me.

Jiang Qiyun shook his head slightly, motioning for me to stay silent and continue listening to the Taoist master's explanation.

"How did you meet my dad" Lin Yanqin asked suspiciously.

"Back then when he went to the countryside, he was under my command. He was only in his teens, two years younger than me. I took good care of him. Who knew he was a high-ranking official's son Now look at him, he has risen steadily and hasn't become arrogant at all. He still remembers our past friendship! We can be considered friends despite the age difference. I'm truly happy for him." Old Yi said with emotion.

"You're renowned, many bigwigs have heard of your name. We originally wanted you to contribute your expertise to the nation, but it seems you prefer a life of seclusion To be so detached from fame and fortune is truly a role model for us younger generations." My brother followed his lead and showered him with praise.

Yī lǎotóu laughed and accepted the compliments, his expression didn't reveal any ill intentions at all.

He was talking with my brother and Lin Yanqin, I stood by the lake eavesdropping, the distance was enough for me to hear clearly.

This old man's thinking is clear and his words are measured. He doesn't sound suspicious at all, but I always feel like he's hiding something...

If he were truly a "master," he should be aware of the effects of Yin energy and objects on the human body and shouldn't rashly give away things carrying Yin energy.

If one were to say he had ulterior motives, what could such a man selling paintings at a temple fair possibly have up his sleeve

At his age, how could he possibly be eighty It's impossible for him to cling to power and seek an official position. Perhaps someone has instigated him or used him to secretly harm Mr. Lin, the patriarch of the Lin family

When my thoughts were racing, Jiang Qiyun raised his hand and tapped my forehead.

"…Another three years of being a clueless pregnant woman" he asked with a smile.

"First three years aren't even over yet, and I'm already a complete idiot." I scoffed.

Jiang Qiyun crouched down, picked up a tiny pebble from the riverbank, and flicked it into the water. The lantern-lit river rippled with a circle of waves.

He is lying.

Jiang Qiyun said coldly.

I crouched beside him, hugging my knees, and whispered, "How did you know"

Jiang Qiyun whispered in my ear, "Have you forgotten what Bai Wu Chang said And what Mu Wanchen said about the celestial phenomena All of it together, it must be a huge conspiracy. This old man is definitely part of it."

I swallowed hard. The Old King in the underworld, this old geezer in the human world, their actions aligned with the celestial cycles, weren't they even planning to reach the heavens and earth

That little demon appeared once in Whitebone Alley and then vanished. Whether it was human, ghost, or immortal, no one dared to open the space where the demon resided. It was filled with the unknown and chaos; only a fool would risk their life.

"The world is full of troubles, even trying to accompany you to watch a light show can run into issues." Jiang Qiyun lazily clapped his hands and said, "When will there be peace and bliss..."

"What kind of pure and joyful paradise do you desire, Great Emperor" I asked with a smile.

"What do you say Of course, I'd rather hold you and ignore everything else. I'm too lazy to deal with all this commotion." He stood up, pulled me along, and started walking along the riverbank.

My phone buzzed, and I felt a nervous jolt. Seeing my dad's name on the screen made my heart race.

My dad wouldn't call me unless something was wrong. He knows I'm with Jiang Qiyun and trusts us.

"Dad" My heart started beating wildly.

"Xia Qiao Is Jiang Qiyun here" My dad asked straight away.

"Huh Yes, he is." I hurriedly handed the phone to Jiang Qiyun.

Jiang Qiyun took the phone and listened to a few words, then replied, "I know," and returned the phone to me.

"Go back and look." He pulled me toward a secluded spot.

"What's wrong What's wrong Has someone broken into the house" I asked hurriedly.

Jiang Qiyun remained silent. We found a secluded spot, set up our ritual, and hurried back to the courtyard.

"Little Qiao, come look quickly!" My dad whispered, "Keep it down, don't wake Grandma!"

We followed my dad to his room. The wing room of the quadrangle courtyard was quite small, with just a bed and a table filling it up completely. But at this time, the floor in front of my dad's bed had actually been "raised"!

This is a really old stone slab! What's he doing with it

Under that slab of bluestone, he had dug out a small pit, within which there was a strange aura.

"...is the way," Jiang Qiyun suddenly said.

What does it mean

Jiang Qiyun raised his hand, and Quen Heng appeared almost instantly behind him.

"Your Majesty, what orders do you have"

"Dig up all the blue bricks in the courtyard and excavate seven inches down," Jiang Qiyun commanded.

"...Yes."

My dad said grumpily, “This house isn't simple! I just dropped my phone on the floor and when I heard the sound, something felt off... Usually, you can't tell with shoes on, but this time when something heavy hit it, I realized the bottom was 'hollow'. So I dug it open —"

"This must have been deliberately left behind by someone, just waiting for the right moment to make a move against our family!"hy did you possess this doctor And why treat female patients that way"The white-clad figure chuckled twice, his voice raspy as he said, "That's using them to their fullest... After all, these women......
