Chapter 384: Moving Mountains

I stood up and walked over to the photo: "The person in the middle of this photo is your uncle?"

"That's right!" Yu Shanshan nodded: "On the left is Professor Qi, and on the right is the uncle's friend's surname He." Uncle often mentioned him for a while, saying that he was a very capable person, but he didn't say anything about his specific ability. ”

"That's right!" I walked around the house with my hands behind my back.

Finally, he stopped at the position of the sofa, reached out and pressed the back of the sofa, and moved the sofa in one direction.

Chen Sanjin was puzzled: "Brother Ye, what are you doing here?"

I replied, "There is an unfinished feng shui bureau in this room, move the sofa in one direction, and the feng shui bureau will be considered complete, let's see if there are any changes here?"

I stood for a long time without looking at anything in the room: "Am I mistaken?"

Jing Yuan said: "I turned on the light, and we looked carefully. ”

"Wait a minute!" I walked quickly to the window and looked out, and I saw a grape trellis from the floor-to-ceiling window, "I see." The indoor feng shui bureau complements the outdoor furnishings. The grape trellis outside blocks some of the light, causing the feng shui in the house to change. Xuanzi, you went out and dismantled the grape trellis. ”

"Got it!" Ye Xuan walked quickly under the grape trellis and kicked at the grape trellis pillar. Although the grape trellis is not small, it is just something welded out of steel pipes, as soon as Ye Xuan stepped down, the grape trellis shook a few times, and a thing wrapped in oilcloth fell from the grape leaves.

Ye Xuan stretched out his hand to unwrap the package, but I called him back: "Don't move yet, take the things back." ”

I put the package on the table and made a gesture to Jing Yuan, Jing Yuan pointed the gun at the package, and I picked up the oil paper with my dagger, revealing the small coffin under the oil paper.

The coffin was less than two feet long and less than a foot wide, and such a small coffin was usually used to bury the corpse of an infant or the corpse of some kind of animal. Whatever exactly that coffin contained, it was a mortal threat to the owner of the villa.

This kind of feng shui bureau is called Yin Sha Shou Window.

The coffin is placed on a grape trellis. From the top of the shelf down, the coffin is equivalent to condescendingly squinting at the floor-to-ceiling windows of the villa, people sitting in the living room of the villa, will inevitably feel like a man's back, no matter what you do, you will feel that someone is looking at you from behind, especially in the dead of night, that feeling is more obvious.

If it is upward, the coffin is aimed at the room above the living room, which is either the bedroom or the study. Unless the person in the house is never close to the window, as soon as the other person comes to the window, he immediately has the illusion of hanging a man from the window, and he will never see the figure, because the person is hanging under the window sill, and only by poking his head out of the window can he see the brain of a dead man. No one would dare to do that!

I knocked twice on the coffin with a knife, and then I picked the gap in the coffin with the tip of the knife, and gently lifted it up, and the coffin lid was immediately picked aside by me.

A dried cat corpse, instantly exposed to my eyes, the skinned cat corpse, shrunk into a ball in the coffin, limbs tightly covered chest, as if blocking something, and when I used the knife to open the cat's claws, I saw a hole in the cat's chest.

I couldn't help frowning: the corpse in the Yin Evil Gate should be a complete corpse, how could this cat corpse reveal a hole?

"Da Bai!" Yu Shanshan's face changed suddenly: "This is my uncle's cat?"

Ye Xuan was stunned: "The skinned cat, do you know it too?"

Yu Shanshan said: "Look at the bell under its neck, it was brought back from abroad by my uncle." Dabai has been lost for many days, how can he be skinned?"

I turned my head and asked, "How long has your uncle's cat been missing?"

"Three or four days! A few days ago, I saw my uncle holding Da Bai ...... in the living room," Yu Shanshan said this, her face turned pale: "That day...... It seems that something was wrong that day!"

Yu Shanshan said slowly: "I came back from outside that day, I wanted to go upstairs, but I saw two pairs of legs on the sofa, and I took a closer look and found that it was my uncle sitting on the sofa with Dabai in his arms. The eyes of both a man and a cat are shining. I was so frightened that I thought something was wrong. When I turned on the light, I saw that it was my uncle, and he kept his eyes on the door, not moving. ”

I had the courage to call him twice, but my uncle sat on the sofa as if he hadn't heard. At this time, I found that one of his hands was pinched around Da Bai's neck, and Da Bai's eyes were round, but he couldn't make a sound. ”

"I was so frightened that I wanted to call someone to help. But I just dialed the phone. I heard Dabai scream and rushed out of the gate at my feet. My uncle's hand was scratched by a cat with a bloody cut. The blood was dripping down, and he didn't seem to know anything. ”

"I was going to bandage him, but he didn't agree to anything. I hurried upstairs, saying that I went to the hospital by myself and was angry with me. I had to go upstairs first, but I was scared halfway up the stairs. When I entered the door, I had already closed the door, and I deliberately locked it, and Dabai rushed out of the door, who opened the door outside?"

"At that moment, I felt as if someone was watching me from the direction of the doorway. I wanted to look back, but I was afraid to see something else standing outside the door. By the time I finally mustered up the courage to look back at the door, it was halfway closed. My uncle was looking at me with his face against the crack in the door, his eyes staring at me like cat's eyes. Then...... At that time......"

Yu Shanshan said twice about that time before continuing: "At that time, I felt as if Da Bai had become my uncle, or rather, my uncle had become Da Bai. Dabai likes to hide behind the crack in the door like this to watch people. ”

After listening to Yu Shanshan, I looked at the cat corpse again. I gently turned the body over with a knife, only to see two words written under the coffin: "Move mountains"

Yu Shanshan said: "This is my uncle's handwriting, could it be that he peeled off the white skin?"

Ye Xuan asked, "What does it mean to move mountains?"

I explained, "Moving mountains is a feng shui term. Naturally occurring Feng Shui always has some flaws to a greater or lesser extent, even in the dragon veins. Take the dragon vein of the Ming Dynasty as an example, the place where the Ming ancestral tomb was built is just on the estuary, and the ancestral tomb will be flooded by the river every time the water rises, and every time the ancestral tomb enters the water, the Ming Dynasty will be shaken. ”

"In order to pursue perfect feng shui, feng shui magicians invented a way to move mountains and change water, that is, to artificially make up for the lack of feng shui. People who are particular about big things may build a hill on a large scale. Those who can't do this, maybe it's not suitable for moving mountains, so they simply make something to replace the hills. For example, hang a landscape painting on the back of the chair to act as a backer. ”

When I said this, I said to myself, "What does Principal Yu mean by the word "moving mountains?" Does he mean that there is a feng shui array in the school?"

The tasks in the school were suddenly a mess.

First, Old Man Qian asked us to protect Qi Xiangchen. Then, it was Qi Xiangchen who discovered the human skin painting, and at this moment there was another Principal Yu who was suspected of being a warlock. All the clues were a mess, as if they had nothing to do with each other. But I think there's some kind of connection in these clues. But I can't figure out what the connection is.

I couldn't help but say, "The most hateful thing now is that Qi Xiangchen doesn't cooperate with us. ”

Ye Xuan said in a deep voice: "Otherwise, tonight, let's go to Qi Xiangchen and put that old thing in a sack and cut it until he is honest." ”

"Don't be foolish!" I glared at Ye Xuan before I said to Shanshan, "Does your uncle have the habit of keeping a diary?"

"No!" Yu Shanshan shook her head and said: "My uncle's memory is very good, he never writes a person's name in the address book, and he can remember who is who by looking at his mobile phone number!"

"Well......" I said to myself, "it would be nice to know where the human skin painting came from, at least it's a clue." ”

Yu Shanshan said: "I think the human skin painting may have come from school. ”

I suddenly looked at Yu Shanshan: "What do you mean?"

Yu Shanshan said: "Professor Qi has not been out of school recently, and he has not had any contact with people outside. It's as if I suddenly got a human skin painting. There has always been a legend in the archaeology department of our school. Legend has it that many years ago, it was probably a turbulent time! There was an old professor of archaeology who collected a batch of antiquities. When the four old ones were broken, they smashed and burned a lot of antiques. The old professor secretly hid them somewhere in the school in order to preserve them, and hanged himself in the cowshed. The antiquities have been preserved like treasures. ”

"The old professor has always hoped that one day in the future, those antiquities will be brought to light, and he hopes that someone will crack the secrets of the antiquities. After his death, he would often appear in the school, instructing students to find antiquities in strange ways. Many people have seen the old professor's ghost, but no one has found the whereabouts of the treasure. If you want to find the treasure, you need to have a premise, that is, you can't be afraid of death, and those who are afraid of death can't pass the test of the old professor. ”

I suddenly became interested: "Is there a legend about those trials?"

"No!" Yu Shanshan shook her head and said, "I heard that the legend about the test was once circulated in the school, and then my uncle expelled those students who told the legend, and the content of the legend was completely gone." When I was still helping the education department sort out the student files, I saw the file and realized that there was such a legend in the school. ”

I nodded slightly and said, "Didn't your uncle say how the friend in the photo met?"

Yu Shanshan replied: "He said that the three of them were classmates, and they were all studying in the archaeology department of the school back then. Later, they went their separate ways. ”
