16. The truth of the past
I listened to the old man tell the ins and outs of the whole thing, Yiyang's third uncle did not listen to the old man in the end, but quietly slipped away from home to Heishuikou, at that time Fuluzhuang had not yet been built, so when Yiyang's third uncle came here, it was still a cemetery.
And Yiyang's third uncle dug up the grave of this gentleman, but the grave of this gentleman was empty, and there was only a paper figure with the eight characters of Mr.'s birthday written on it in the grave, that is, this gentleman did not really die, he replaced himself with a paper figure. The old man said that this is a method of stealing life, using a paper man to replace himself to die, deceiving the heavens, hiding his life in the life grid of others, and using other people's lives to continue himself, and what this gentleman stole is the life of Yiyang's third uncle, before he died, he did not help Yiyang's third uncle to lift the Huangquan hexagram, but completed the final life-stealing ceremony, so soon after this gentleman "died".
But Yiyang's third uncle didn't know all this, he came to Heishuikou, dug up the grave of his husband, and then he was contaminated with the murderous hexagram, and died seven days after returning home after being found by the old man. The old man also forcibly used the hexagram plate in order to save Yiyang's third uncle that it became what I saw at the beginning.
It's just that there are a few strange and strange places in the old man's narration, Yiyang's third uncle came here because he was guided by this gentleman's dream, but why did he dig up the grave after he came, why did he dig the grave, or was he looking for something?
These old men couldn't say it, because when he came, Yiyang's third uncle had already been caught in the path of the latter hexagram, and the former murderer died on the spot, and even this person Yiyang and his third uncle didn't know.
The old man said that he had also asked the three boys these questions, but he couldn't say anything, as if he had seen something, he was frightened, and the whole person was a little dumbfounded, and then the old man had no choice but to take the person back, and tried his best to save him, but in the end the third boy died.
At this point, I asked, "How did he die?"
Because from the very beginning, I found a problem, neither Yiyang nor the old man mentioned to me the cause of the death of the third boy, I just vaguely remember that Yiyang said that the longer the murderous hexagram lasts, the more miserable the person will die, and the longest murderous hexagram is seven days, and the third boy died after seven days, so that is, his death must be a or very miserable death.
When I asked this question, I suddenly felt that it had become strangely silent, Yiyang and the old man did not speak, and their expressions were very strange, and finally the old man was the first to speak, he said: "In the process of death, he became a human and not a ghost, and when he finally died, he was no longer human." ”
I was shocked when I heard this, and I asked, "What did you say?!"
The old man said: "At first, his face began to disappear, from his ears to his eyes to his nose to his mouth, completely became phaseless, at this time he became phaseless, but at least there was a person's Mu Yan, but then the bones in his body began to grow like spikes, bones grew from his shoulders and back, he was tortured to death, and when he finally died, he was already unrecognizable, and he couldn't see that he was still a person." ”
I thought that what happened to him might be what happened to me, and I couldn't help but be inexplicably scared, and I said, "How can this be?"
The old man shook his head and said, "I don't know, I've never seen such a way to die, so we ourselves were scared." ”
I asked, "So what did you do with the corpses?"
The old man said: "Although he has become like this, he is still my son after all, so I arranged a hexagram array based on gossip in the coffin, sealed his body in this hexagram array, locked the coffin with a Fuyin lock, and arranged a forbidden arrangement on the cemetery to bury him." ”
Although I didn't think it was appropriate to ask such a question, I still asked, "Didn't anything bad happen since?"
The old man didn't say anything, he was silent and I already felt something, and since I knew Yiyang, I knew that there were only two people in his family, he and his grandfather, since his third uncle was the third in the family, then it means that his grandfather had at least two children, so ......
Yiyang took his grandfather's words at this time and replied to me: "I don't know if it was because of my third uncle, a lot of changes happened in the family, my second uncle and my parents died one after another, and in the end only me and my grandfather were left." ”
Sure enough, this must be related to the Huangquan hexagram, especially the eight-way and four-way Huangquan hexagram, the hexagram made by the main murderer and the main injury, even if it is the family of a diviner like the old man, it is not immune, it can be seen that the hexagram is powerful and fierce.
It's just that the question then comes, the old man himself is a diviner, and he was able to escape in this accident, why is Yiyang, is there anything different about him?
It's just that I don't think it's appropriate to ask this directly, so I didn't ask, and the old man said at this time: "You must be very curious why Yiyang was able to escape the catastrophe and not be affected by the Huangquan hexagram." ”
I didn't gnaw, just nodded, and the old man said, "Because of the image of the Yellow Spring in his life." ”
I asked, "What does it mean to have the image of a yellow spring in your life?"
The old man did not shy away from telling me: "Because he gave birth three days after his mother's death, and since he was born, he has been fused with Huangquan Sha in his life, so he was born from Huangquan Sha, and he is naturally not affected by Huangquan Sha." ”
It sounds simply appalling, it is inconceivable that a person can give birth three days after death, but I didn't expect the child to survive, so Yiyang will not be an ordinary life, otherwise it is impossible to survive.
And there is a very coincidental coincidence here, that is, Huangquansha, Yiyang's family has Huangquansha, and Heishuikou also has Huangquansha, and they are all eight-way Huangquan, so the connection is ......
By analogy, is the diviner who has a murderous hexagram on me the same gentleman who is still missing?
I asked, "Did you see that gentleman later?"
The old man shook his head, and Yiyang said, "I've never seen him." ”
The old man became demented after that, and even if he saw it, he probably couldn't recognize it, and this gentleman is now doing the same trick on me, does it mean that the next target he wants to steal his life is me?
Is this the gentleman I saw in my dreams?
Thinking of this, I shuddered all over my body, and an inexplicable heart swelled up in my heart.
As I was saying this, I saw that the traces of the hexagram marks seemed to flash on the trunks of the dead trees again, and they were still faintly blurry, but I just saw them, so I asked again, "Have you seen the hexagram marks on the trunks of the dead trees?"
Yiyang and the old man both looked at it, but their consciousness was the same as before, and they couldn't see anything, and then they both looked at me strangely, I frowned, why only I could see, I said: "Although the Muyin hexagram and the Huangquan hexagram here have been broken, my heart has not calmed down at all, as if something is about to happen, and I am very uneasy." ”
I looked at the eerie atmosphere around me, and finally my eyes focused on the small three-story building, which was exactly the same structure as a haunted house, and I didn't know what secrets were hidden inside.
I asked the old man, "Then how did you get here?"
The old man said, "I remember that I came with a man. ”
