Chapter 18: Unraveling the Hexagram
Bamboo is tough.
There is no doubt about that, but the coffin is not light.
According to Sister Xia He, the other party dragged the coffin forward, no matter how good the toughness of the bamboo was, if it was forcibly crushed by such a heavy thing, it would more or less bend or even break.
But this bamboo forest in front of me ......
Each piece of bamboo is as if it is running for Miss World, one standing straighter than the other, and the surface is extremely smooth, without even scratches.
"Huh?" Xia He was stunned for a moment, carefully observed the bamboo forest, and couldn't help but wonder, "But I obviously saw it with my own eyes!" Am I dazzled? How so? ”
"It's not that you're dazzled, it's that someone is deliberately trying to dazzle you."
I had a number in my heart, and after confirming that what Sister Xia He saw was an illusion, I didn't continue to move forward, turned around and returned to the cemetery, and jumped directly into the empty grave without saying a word.
Xia He chased after him puzzled: "Deliberately dazzled me?" Who is so bad? Why would he do that? Is there any benefit to doing this? ”
I also wonder why.
Obviously, I just wanted to help Xia Lan at first, and then I just wanted my grandfather to be buried in the ground, but when I checked it, I felt like I had fallen into a bottomless abyss, and I was coerced by a huge conspiracy.
There are no coincidences, only cause and effect.
These strange things happen one after another, even if they seem to be unrelated, no matter how much they seem to be coincidences, as long as they are carefully discussed, a clear context will surely emerge.
At first, it was Xia Lan who was made a spiritual contract, so she asked me for help from the "only" person who could solve this matter. I wanted to save Xia Lan, but Aunt Lian accidentally fell into the water and died when she went to invite her grandfather, and I couldn't wait for my grandfather, so I had to break the rules......
Then, it was my grandfather who died in a mass grave. But because I was in a coma, I missed my grandfather's funeral, so I heard three versions of the burial theory, so I could only verify it in person, and naturally entered the mass grave.
Then, I met Sister Xia He, who came to worship Aunt Lian, learned the news of Aunt Lian's death, found Grandpa's grave, and learned about the bizarre reason why they were buried here, and decided to dig up Grandpa's grave to find out.
Then, I sent Sister Xia He home, met Xia Lan, asked about the dowry, and learned that the dowry was related to Uncle Li's family. After finally saving Aunt Li's life, I handed over the task of asking Uncle Li about the whereabouts of the dowry.
Then, I bumped into my grandfather's corpse and found that he was imprisoned, and the Zhang family was also maliciously targeted.
On the other hand, Uncle Li dug up the ancestral grave in order to find out the dowry, and found that his ancestral grave had been dug up completely, and Sister Xia He, who happened to be present, was haunted by the phantom born by herself when she came to the appointment.
Finally, it is the famous scene of Sister Xia He seeing her grandfather moving the grave by herself.
All of them sound very strange, and they don't seem to be necessarily related to each other except in chronological order.
However, when you list them like this, the obvious sense of design immediately comes to mind.
And just ......
In most events, there is a name that cannot be avoided.
- Liu Mazi.
He was the one who set the spiritual contract for Xia Lan, he was the one who chose the cemetery for Aunt Lian, and he was the one who cast spells on Sister Xia He to produce phantoms.
It seems that it is only related to the affairs of the Xia family.
According to Liu Mazi's consistent style of keeping one hand, it may be that he meddled in the affairs of the Xia family, which had a chain reaction, so he went farther and farther.
Therefore, I didn't involve Liu Mazi with everything at the beginning, I just felt that this person was not kind, and he specifically arrested the Xia family to make trouble.
But think about it.
These three things related to the Xia family are precisely the most subtle and the most design-oriented part of all things.
And, Liu Mazi is naturally the key figure!
While combing the whole context in my mind, I silently dug the soil in the grave and did not answer Sister Xia He's question.
Sister Xia He saw that I didn't speak, and she also knew that her question was not easy to answer, so she stood still for a while, pretending to change the topic naturally.
"So what now?"
"You first insert Aunt Lian's tombstone, and the soil must not pass the scale I left behind, and it must be completely stepped on. Then set up three incense sticks in front of the tombstone, before the incense burns out, don't leave, don't make a sound, even if you see Ah Piao, you can't scream, understand? ”
I came back to my senses and immediately pointed out to Xia He what to do next.
If all this is Liu Mazi's ghost, then Aunt Lian is just a tool person nine times out of ten, and the reason why she must be buried here is very simple, that is, to watch Grandpa's grave and attract me to come and find out.
In the graveyard of the tool man, the other party naturally doesn't need to bother to do any special spells, so it is completely enough to deal with it in a normal way.
But this is a mass grave, and the food contenders are staring at it with wide eyes!
With the incense, there is a high probability that the Ah Piao people around will be attracted to it, their yin qi is enough, and they will not be afraid of the domain field here.
In order to prevent Sister Xia He from seeing Ah Piao and being overly frightened, causing the incense to be extinguished or the strength of the phantom to increase, I gave her a preventive injection in advance.
Sister Xia He nodded, showing an expression of looking at death as if she were at home, and according to what I said, she did it seriously step by step.
I took off my T-shirt, wrapped up the seven pieces of soil that I had dug up, climbed back to the ground, and watched her movements for a while, but there was no problem, so I ignored this side and walked to the side with the dirt from the grave.
Then, start setting up.
Yesterday, I deliberately didn't cover the coffin and fell into the ground, just to force the other party to move the grave of my grandfather in person, so I deliberately sprinkled seven pieces of soil in the corner of the coffin.
The plan is to use the grave soil to make a divination.
In fact, if you are looking for ordinary things, you can calculate the approximate direction without starting a hexagram.
But things such as dowry involving spiritual deeds, sealed coffins, etc., involve a lot of yin and yang variables, but they are not so simple.
I originally planned to use the grave soil of the mass grave to calculate where my grandfather's coffin was moved, after all, the grave soil here gathers an unknown amount of yin qi, which is not comparable to ordinary grave soil.
The act of sealing the corpse is not difficult.
But it is not easy to completely seal these yin qi that have accumulated over thousands of years. Therefore, it is easy to find the grave soil that was scattered in the coffin and taken away together.
The idea is good.
However, as soon as the seven pieces of soil were placed one by one, and the hexagram was formed, I immediately noticed that something was wrong.
Hexagram of Wind Breath.
The surface is everywhere, but in fact there is no sound.
To put it bluntly, there is a response everywhere, but you can't feel the grave soil in the coffin anymore!
I subconsciously looked at the grave.
It stands to reason that I dug in the same position as yesterday. When I spread the soil, I was careful to conceal it, and it was impossible for the other party to turn the coffin upside down and shake off the soil inside......
How could there be no contact?
I stood up, according to the hexagram, and walked along the "coffin drag marks" again, and when I reached the position I pointed out to Sister Xia He just now, there was no induction, and the hexagram plate instantly became blank.
It's like......
The past and future of the grave in the coffin were emptied in an instant!
It's hard to understand.
It was the first time I had encountered a hexagram that I couldn't solve, and I couldn't help but go around there a few more times, but I didn't notice anything unusual at all.
Again, that's the same sentence.
To say that the coffin was dragged away from here, I certainly can't believe it!
Unexpectedly, I was smart but was mistaken by cleverness, and I was tricked by the other party's confusing methods, it seems that this opponent is really not simple.
I couldn't do it.
But not because the sure plan failed, but because he lost to this person with sinister intentions, who didn't care about the lives of others and wanted to let the Zhang family perish!
But......
I'm not going to just throw in the towel!
On the first day of teaching me to tell me about divination, my grandfather told me that hexagrams and physiognomy are good, and they are not static, and if you rely too much on the "heavenly opportunity" you see, you may put yourself in trouble.
Therefore, it is necessary to leave a door outside the hexagram.
The door outside the hexagram is different from Liu Mazi's deliberate hidden danger.
If I have to describe it, it's like a coder left a backdoor in a system he designed so that he could avoid firewalls and hack into computers that use the system at any time.
Grandpa asked me to open a hidden "back door" in each hexagram to ensure that when the hexagram changes, it can be monitored as soon as possible, and I can jump in or out of the hexagram at any time to save myself.
But in my opinion......
Since the hexagram can change, then through this back door, it means that I can also enter the hexagram and make changes to the hexagram.
To put it a little more rampantly, it is-
I can change someone's life!
