Chapter 44: The Great Murderous Land
In the first half of the Sutra, in addition to the explanations of Feng Shui and physiognomy, there are some examples from previous generations.
These examples are bizarre, and if they were not from the Jin Kui Xiangjing, I even suspect that they might have been written by literati.
In fact, if you think about it, it is normal to have these examples in the book, which may be a way for the ancients to write.
I once read the Compendium of Materia Medica, and it is the same in it, and there are many cases.
Underneath the description of Hui Ling, there is an incident.
said that I don't know what year and month, a big family gave birth to a child.
The elders of the family have high hopes for this child, hoping that he will be able to glorify his ancestors.
But after the child is sensible, he behaves very stupidly. For reading and literacy, there is no interest at all. For naughty tricks, but very good.
The elders of the family were first disappointed, then annoyed.
I beat and scolded, but there was no way to do it.
When he was a teenager, the child gradually understood the hard work of his elders and wanted to calm down and study.
But the content of the book can't be stuffed into my mind at all.
Later, a master showed the child's face, saying that his mind was stuffed, and without the soul called Fuya, it was already a miracle that he could retain his sanity, and he was not born to read. This matter can only be stopped.
As a result, no one forces children to study anymore.
But the child saw his parents sighing and sighing, frowning, and his heart was also very anxious.
The pressure mounts mounting, and he finally decides to run away from home.
I want to find a place where no one is around, and I forget about it for the rest of my life.
Soon after he left home, he got lost and arrived at night in a place where there was no village in front of him and no shop in the back. Eventually, he met Hui Ling there.
Hui Ling gave him something. After this child got something, he was very intelligent.
There are only a few words recorded in the book, mainly describing the magic of Hui Ling.
In addition, there are various precautions for meeting Huiling.
At the end of the note, there are two very strange hints from the Golden Kui Sutra.
The first tip said that Hui Ling was very dangerous and should not be seen easily. And don't go to him for wisdom. Because not all of them will come back alive.
The second tip says that even if you get its wisdom, it will probably not end well, and you must be cautious.
I hadn't seen Hui Ling before, so I didn't know what danger it was.
But tonight, I had to meet it.
As for the reminder of the Golden Kui Sutra, I hope I can turn evil into good fortune.
I told Xia Tian about Hui Ling.
Xia Tian looked at me with some concern, but she also knew that I had to find Hui Ling, otherwise, I would lack a soul and I would not be able to do many things.
The lesser of two evils must be taken.
So instead of stopping me, she asked, "Do you need me to help you with something?" ”
I looked at her with some appreciation.
This person is really a good partner.
I thought about it and took off the natal light from my left shoulder.
I already have one less soul, and one more natal light, and my body is even weaker.
I handed the natal lamp to Xia Tian and said to her, "After a while, you wait outside, when I come back from Hui Ling, I may get lost." When the time comes, I'll find my way according to where the natal light is. ”
Xia Tian nodded.
Then, I took out my compass and began to calculate the location of Hui Ling.
It is said in the Sutra that Hui Ling is accustomed to turning into a human form and hiding in the world. But he has high requirements for the place where he lives, and it must be a great place within a radius of ten miles.
I carefully calculated the layout of the surrounding buildings, and then I was stunned.
Xia Tian asked me, "Did you find it?" ”
I nodded with a complicated expression: "Found it, it's right next to our school." The commissary. ”
Xia Tian was stunned: "That commissary is a big murderous place?" ”
Then, she seemed to understand, and then nodded and said, "It's true that there have been accidents all the time." In the past three years of high school, the owner of the commissary has changed five or six times, and none of them have died well. ”
"And the commissary has frequent car accidents. When you think about it, it's really fierce there. ”
I hummed, "Let's go." ”
On the way, Xia Tian asked me, "Is there a way to solve this murderous place?" ”
I said, "There's no need to fix it." Fierce land is not the same as feng shui cave. Feng Shui Cave is to gather the evil energy around them, infringe on the minds of the living, and finally make the living unlucky. ”
"And the murderous place is just the place where the simple bad thing happens. For example, those car accidents, if there is no murder place, they will happen somewhere else, and they will definitely not be able to escape. ”
"The owner of the commissary, also because of bad luck, took down this murderous place in the dark."
"It can be said that it is not the fierce place that makes people unlucky, it is the unlucky people who invariably choose the fierce place."
"Bad luck is like water, it likes to flow low, and the bad ground is like a depression, and all the unlucky people have gathered."
Xia Tian suddenly realized: "So, is the fierce land a garbage dump?" In the past, everyone threw away garbage, but now that there is a garbage dump, they are thrown into the murderous place? ”
I smiled, "Your analogy is quite graphic, yes, that's what it is." ”
Similarly, the magpie announces the good news and the crow announces the funeral. In fact, no matter how divine the magpie and the crow are, it is impossible to influence people's happiness and sorrow, right? It is the state of people that affects them, not the state of them that affects them. ”
"A lot of people turn cause and effect upside down, and instead give birth to a lot of strange taboos."
Xia Tian nodded approvingly.
The two of us talked all the way and soon arrived at the school gate.
The commissary, right in front.
I chatted with Xia Tian all the way just now, and I didn't feel anything, but now I see the canteen with lights on in the night, and I am still a little nervous.
Xia Tian asked me, "Is the owner of the commissary Huiling?" ”
I shook my head: "Probably not." Hui Ling is actually a kind of ghost. The owner of the commissary is clearly a living person. ”
"Perhaps, during the day, the boss is in control of the commissary, and at night, it is Hui Ling who occupies it."
Speaking of which, I suddenly noticed a problem.
This commissary is for students.
During the day, the commissary is open to welcome customers, understandably why is it that at night, the commissary is still lit up?
The students are all locked up in the dorms, who will buy things?
It can be seen that my calculation is correct, and there is something wrong with this commissary.
I said to Xia Tian: "You just stand here, don't go." I'll just go over it myself. ”
Xia Tian hummed and stood under a tree at the school gate.
When I walked towards the commissary, Xia Tian stopped me again and said to me, "Be careful. ”
I smiled at her and walked over to the commissary.
The commissary was unlocked, and the door was hidden.
Before pushing the door, I took out a thunder talisman and clasped it in my hand.
Then I looked back in Xia Tian's direction.
In the dark night, I couldn't see Xia Tian anymore, but I could see the candlelight in her hand.
This candlelight is my natal light, and I can easily find its location with my own sense.
That's fine, if there's anything wrong with Hui Ling, I can leave quickly and not be trapped.
Although the Jin Kui Xiangjing doesn't say what Hui Ling is, I feel that it should be a kind of powerful ghost, but it just retains its sanity.
You can't let your guard down when it comes to this kind of thing.
I took a deep breath and pushed the door open.
The commissary, as before, has not changed much.
It's just that there is no electric light inside, and a candle is lit on the counter.
There was a middle-aged man, sitting behind a candle, reading a book with his head down.
When I came in, the middle-aged man was obviously aware of it, he looked up at me, smiled and asked, "Want to buy something?" ”
This middle-aged man looks exactly like the commissary owner, but I know that he is not the commissary owner.
Because not so long ago, the owner of the commissary died, and the new boss was a woman.
This should be the appearance of Hui Ling transformed into a living person. It's just that he has transformed into the previous boss who has died.
I looked at the shelves.
The snacks and stationery on the shelves are all gone, replaced by black jars.
I know, I'm hallucinating now.
At this time, a middle-aged man's voice came to my ears: "Want to buy something?" ”
I was shocked, and suddenly realized that I didn't know when, the boss actually left the counter and came behind me.
