Chapter 3: The Conjuring
After leaving the Public Security Bureau, I found a small hotel to stay in.
On the way, I kept thinking about He Jin's disappearance.
Putting down my luggage, I was not confused, and immediately plunged into the vast sea of people in H City and began to look for He Jin.
I think the police are better at finding people than I am. They can't find it, and I certainly can't find it.
I don't look for He Jin, it doesn't mean that I don't do anything, just wait stupidly.
I don't think it is possible for He Jin to steal the nameless corpse, unless he was coerced.
If it was coerced, from stealing the nameless corpse in the middle of the night last night, to now, most of the day has passed, there should be news.
But until now, there has been news that he may have been killed.
I plan to use spiritualism to determine He Jin's life and death.
Summoning He Jin's soul means that he is dead, otherwise, he is still alive.
Spiritualism, in addition to the spiritualist charm and pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, also requires He Jin's eight characters and his hair, or nails, blood, and the like.
Bazi, that is, the birth date Bazi, is the year, month, day and hour of a person's birth expressed by the Ganzhi chronology.
He Jin is my old classmate, and I naturally know his eight characters, but I don't have hair, nails, or blood.
He Jin is missing, and these things can only be found at He Jin's residence.
Unfortunately, I don't know where to get into his house.
At this time, the safest way is to go to Big Belly and ask him for these things.
He has an accident, and his residence, I think, must have been sealed off by the police.
But I don't think I'm going to give it to me if I ask for it from my belly.
He didn't believe me, at least not completely.
This can be seen from the interrogation of him and the young policeman, one singing red face and the other white face, using my words, and after the words, he deliberately got close to me, revealed some news to me, and wanted to test me.
Fortunately, it didn't bother me.
The next day, I contacted a few old high school classmates in H City, and sure enough, some of them knew where He Jin lived.
I went by taxi, but I was afraid that He Jin's residence was guarded by the police, and my goal was too big, so I asked the driver to stop two or three hundred meters away from He Jin's residence.
I walked over.
When I arrived at He Jin's residence, I found that I was too worried, although He Jin's house was sealed, there was no police.
I didn't walk in through the main entrance, but climbed in from the balcony, but fortunately, he didn't live high, only the second floor.
I took a few of He Jin's hairs from the comb in the bathroom and left.
Spiritualism, for me, is not a commonly used spell, I do more to dispel evil spirits, and the commonly used talismans are also to attack or defend against those things.
If it were me three years ago, I would have prepared some less commonly used talismans like spiritualist talismans.
Now I don't have any, I can only paint.
Drawing symbols is not something that can be drawn when you want to, different symbols have different requirements, and in addition, you also need to consider many factors such as the celestial phenomena of the earth, the leylines and so on, in order to determine the time of drawing symbols.
Fortunately, the spiritualist talisman is not a very advanced talisman, and the requirements for drawing talismans are not strict.
According to my calculations, two more days later, between 7:30 and 7:45 in the morning, it would be suitable to draw a spiritualist talisman.
To draw a spirit talisman, all you need is yellow paper, a brush and ink.
Some people may wonder why I use ink instead of cinnabar for my talismans.
In fact, the most commonly used talismans are not ink, but cinnabar.
However, cinnabar has a strong yang qi and has a restraint effect on ghosts, so it is not suitable for drawing soul charms.
On the day of the drawing, I got up at six o'clock in the morning, washed and cleaned my body (purely to wash my body and not enter the palace. and place on the table what you need to draw the symbols.
After looking at the time, I felt that it was almost over, so I lit three pillars of incense to tell the ancestors and gods, and recited the meditation, meditation, and meditation mantras three times each, and then recited the pen mantra, water mantra, ink mantra, inkstone mantra, and paper mantra.
When this was done, it was exactly half past seven.
I lift the pen, run the master's mind, condense the pen, dip the ink, and put the pen.
A charm, in one go.
I put down the brush, picked up the talisman, and looked at it, the pen was vigorous and powerful, and the spirit could be faintly felt on the cloud seal.
I haven't drawn a talisman for three years, but I haven't lost my work. This spiritualist talisman is still very well drawn.
After the first one, I moved on to the second and third...... Just in case.
In a quarter of an hour, I drew five symbols. By the time I finished drawing the talisman, I was already sweating on my forehead, and it was a very tiring thing to draw the talisman.
After drawing the talisman, I rested for an hour to regain my strength, then closed the windows and closed the curtains to ensure that no wind and sunlight could enter the house, creating a suitable place for ghosts to appear.
I didn't turn on the lights, the light in the room was very weak, very dim, dim, dim.
I took a spiritualist talisman, wrote He Jin's name and eight characters on the back of the talisman, and when the ink was dry, wrapped one of He Jin's hair with the spiritualist talisman and burned it together.
After the talisman is burned, I light a pillar of incense to keep time, take a small spoonful of ground very fine limestone powder and mix it with ink, grind it evenly, dip it in ink with a brush, and write it on white paper in funeral script:
"My friend He is here?"
The stone is heavy and can be seen by ghosts. The funeral script, which looks very similar to the water book of the water tribe, but is more complete than the water book, is a kind of text specially used to communicate with ghosts.
After I finished writing, my arms were in the air, my muscles were relaxed, I didn't use any force, I still held the pen, and the tip of the pen was just disengaged from the white paper, trying to make sure that a strand of hair pressed on the pen could be reflected on the white paper.
At this time, as long as He Jin's ghost comes, I can know it immediately with a light push of the pen.
This is a very difficult thing, back then, when I was practicing this, I was beaten by the master a lot.
The dim room was quiet, thick and gloomy, so thick that it seemed to stick to time, like hell, only the incense in front of me, a little fiery red light, slowly burning, telling me that time was passing minute by minute.
My arm started to ache and my heart was beating faster and faster.
I kept telling myself in my heart, don't be afraid, He Jin is not dead, not dead, not dead......
Half of the incense was burned, three-quarters of the way through, and there was only a little bit as thick as a coin.
The incense went out, but the pen didn't move.
He Jin really didn't die!
I let out a sigh of relief and collapsed on the bed.
Although He Jin still couldn't be found, it was undoubtedly good news to be sure that he wasn't dead.
At this point, I felt like I could do something else.
I did something else, not because I didn't want to find Hejin, but because I had no money.
In the past three years, I have been in Kunlun Mountain, I haven't earned a penny, and my savings have been almost spent, otherwise I wouldn't have lived in such a dirty and messy small hotel.
I originally wanted to borrow money from my former high school classmates, but seeing them struggling one by one in H City, such a metropolis, and the pitiful salary every month, except for a little living expenses, they all paid car loans and housing loans, and I couldn't open my mouth.
Fortunately, with the name of my alma mater, 985 Engineering School, within a few days, I became a small technician in a small factory on the outskirts of H City, with a salary of 3,000 yuan, which was okay.
Every ten days, I would use the spiritualism again, and I would summon He Jin's soul, but I never got it.
This shows that He Jin has always been alive.
But the police never found him.
I thought that life would go on like this, but I didn't expect that a month later, one night, I was working overtime, drawing engineering drawings, and Wei Da Belly appeared again.
He took a team of SWAT officers and pinned me directly to the ground.
