Chapter 30: The Changing Formation
Back at Sun Xiaoxi's home, Wu Yu was still a little stressed in his heart. After all, he has not officially obtained a marriage certificate with Sun Xiaoxi, not to mention that Sun Xiaoxi's child was gone a while ago, and he was having trouble with himself, and Wu Yu, who saw Sun Xiaoxi's parents at this time, was still worried.
Mother Sun was very happy to see Sun Xiaoxi bring Wu Yu back together, and she liked her son-in-law Mother Sun from the bottom of her heart. Not only Wu Yu's performance has always satisfied Sun's mother, but even Sun Xiaoxi's child is gone, Wu Yu has always comforted Sun Xiaoxi, and he also took the initiative to go to Yu Chen to study, explaining that he is still very obedient to his mother-in-law's words as an aunt.
Seeing Sun's mother's expression, Wu Yu breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, it seemed that it was just Sun Xiaoxi who had a temper with him, and the matter did not affect Sun Xiaoxi's family.
Mother Sun let the two of them in, and didn't forget to say, "Xiaoxi, let me tell you what's good!" Didn't I tell you many times, you and Xiaoyu will call me in advance if you want to come back, Xiaoyu loves to eat the ribs I make, where can I buy ribs when it's so late! ”
Sun Xiaoxi looked helpless, as if since she established a relationship with Wu Yu and took him to meet her mother, her mother seemed to have become Wu Yu's own mother, but she ignored her own daughter.
As soon as Wu Yu and Sun Xiaoxi walked into the living room, the door was opened again, and the sound came before they entered the room. Director Sun said with a smile: "It's Xiaoxi and Xiaoyu who are back!" I saw Xiaoyu's car downstairs just now. ”
Sun Xiaoxi walked quickly to Director Sun: "Dad, we found a jade pendant at the scene of the antique shop, according to Uncle Yang of the Evidence Department, this jade pendant is very similar to the corpse jade in the cultural relics case that my mother investigated before, so I quickly took it home to show you." ”
Sun's father and grandma are all old criminal policemen, and they glanced at each other and took the jade pendant that Sun Xiaoxi brought back.
Wu Yu saw clearly from the sidelines, and the two of them seemed to be very careful to avoid contact with the jade pendant as much as possible. Mother Sun glanced at the jade pendant and said, "Old Sun! I'll accept this case! Let Xiaoxi leave this case alone. ”
Father Sun nodded: "Okay, but it's better to let that kid from the Yu family come over and take a look, I think this thing is definitely not as simple as the archaeological experts say." ”
Wu Yu frowned, it was obvious that Father Sun and Mother Sun must have seen this kind of jade pendant before, and it seemed that the two of them were a little jealous of this thing.
On the side, Sun Xiaoxi hurriedly said: "Yu Chen has something to go home, but just now we took Tian Tian and Xue Hao to the scene together, and we have new discoveries." ”
Father Sun looked at Sun Xiaoxi and Wu Yu in surprise, and then asked, "What did you find?" ”
Sun Xiaoxi glanced at Wu Yu and motioned for Wu Yu to tell him about the morning. Wu Yu scratched his head and briefly told him what happened in the morning, and during the whole process, Wu Yu observed the changes of Father Sun and Mother Count, and guessed what Father Sun and Mother Mother might know in the way that Yu Chen taught him.
Father Sun frowned: "Brain dead? It shouldn't have been caused by this jade pendant, but don't keep this jade pendant, hurry up and send it to the Evidence Division, and I'll let the people from the Evidence Department take it and destroy it tomorrow. ”
Sun Xiaoxi looked at his father puzzled: "Why do you want to destroy it?" Tian Tian said that this jade pendant is very likely to be related to brain death, how can the evidence be destroyed at will before the investigation is clear? ”
Mother Sun sighed: "Xiaoxi! Listen to your dad! This kind of thing is not auspicious, Mom and Dad have been through cases related to this thing, and too many people died that time, and this is not something we can handle. ”
Sun Xiaoxi looked at Mother Sun, but there was a little more persistence in her eyes: "I just came back to you after hearing what Uncle Yang said, I want to know the record of your last related case." The two of you are also veteran criminal policemen for many years, not to mention that you have taught me not to give up when I was a child, I don't believe that this case cannot be solved. ”
Father Sun nodded and pointed to the sofa, Wu Yu and Sun Xiaoxi hurriedly sat on the sofa, Mother Sun seemed to be hesitating, but Father Sun handed Wu Yu a cigarette and said: "That was the case ten years ago, you were still in junior high school at that time, and your mother and I almost never saw you again." ”
From the mouths of Sun's father and Sun's mother, Sun Xiaoxi and Wu Yu learned some information about the case, but because this kind of incident is not easy to explain, the police announced it as radiation, and some important information is kept confidential, so Sun's father and Sun's mother can't tell Sun Xiaoxi and Wu Yu the main situation of the matter.
However, Wu Yu still roughly understood what was going on, and from Wu Yu's preliminary judgment, it should be something used by the ancients to study immortality.
The ancients found that people who were washed by ghosts would gradually become old over time, so as early as the Han Dynasty, some people used this idea to study the way to make the human body grow in reverse. Legend has it that someone grinds a moldy substance from a corpse into powder, attaches a spirit to it through some secret technique, and then refines this thing into a jade-like substance. It is said to have a youthful effect.
Wu Yu carefully observed the jade pendant they found in the antique shop, at least from the outside, it should not be the kind of thing that Father Sun and Mother Sun said, and the kind of jade pendant that Father Sun and Mother Sun said can make people more than ten years younger all of a sudden, and then once they leave the jade pendant, they will quickly age and die, so far it seems that the jade pendant they found has not had such an effect.
Sun Xiaoxi looked at Mother Sun: "Mom, you said that the pattern carved on this jade pendant we found is the same as the jade on the case you broke back then, does that mean that these two things were unearthed from a tomb?" ”
Mother Sun shook her head: "We investigated later, and the jade pendant in that case was finally proved not to be from the tomb, but the same carved pattern as the jade pendant did appear in that tomb." ”
Sun Xiaoxi frowned, and couldn't help but look at Wu Yu, as if Wu Yu could explain these things about ghosts and gods.
Wu Yu scratched his head, and also saw the meaning in Sun Xiaoxi's eyes. I had to reluctantly say: "This pattern shouldn't be some kind of special mark, according to what I've learned from Yu Chen in the past few days, I guess this pattern should be a formation." ”
Father Sun looked at Wu Yu: "Formation? Is it the kind played in the TV series, the kind of formation used by ancient people to fight? ”
Wu Yu wanted to roll his eyes but didn't dare, but what his father-in-law said didn't look like what a director should say at all, but gave Wu Yu a joking feeling.
Scratching his head, Wu Yu said: "The main purpose of Yu Chen's experimental notes is to prove that the art of ghosts and gods is also a science, but it is a science that is not easy for modern people to accept. I've seen his explanation of the formation, and I agree with him myself, because his explanation is completely in line with our perception and makes a lot of sense. ”
Sun Xiaoxi glared at Wu Yu: "Okay, don't show your ability to endorse, hurry up and explain what kind of formation is going on." ”
Wu Yu nodded: "Actually, the formation is a bit similar to the current circuit board, if we treat the so-called ghost as a current, then the formation is a way to operate for the ghost." Through the change of the pattern, some different changes can be played, such as the so-called bundle fairy lock. It is composed of a formation that disperses the power of the so-called ghosts, and the effect of binding the ghosts is achieved by dispersing this force in all directions. It's like tying a giant with a thin thread, as long as the giant's power is dispersed, then the thin thread can bind the giant as well. ”
Father Sun nodded: "It makes sense, according to what you said, this is a formation, so since it is the same formation, does it mean that their effect is the same?" ”
Wu Yu scratched his head: "This is not necessarily, the change of the formation is affected by many aspects, such as the carrier of the depicting formation." It's like the charm used by Taoist priests to exorcise ghosts for children in Taoist temples, if that pattern is drawn on the snakeskin, then the effect of the formation will completely become another effect, which can make the soul of an elderly person leave the body. ”
Mother Sun was very happy with her son-in-law's performance, nodded and said, "So, the effect of this piece of jade is different from the one we saw, because of the different materials?" ”
Wu Yu shook his head: "I'm not sure, but these patterns are not necessarily exactly the same, maybe the small details are different, and the effect will be completely different." I saw that Yu Chen's experimental notes had such an introduction, and because there was an extra gram of cinnabar when drawing the talisman, the whole array became a formation with a completely opposite effect. ”
Father Sun sighed: "You two better hurry up and send this piece of jade back to the forensic department!" No matter what this formation is for, I don't think anything good will happen if we stay by our side, and it seems that this piece of jade may be the culprit of brain death! ”
Sun Xiaoxi nodded: "Okay, then let's go and send the jade back now, it just so happens that I will write a report in the team." ”
Wu Yu was deflated all of a sudden, Sun Xiaoxi's subtext was that he would stay in the police force, and he and Sun Xiaoxi's plan to go home and make people would not have a chance to sight. Wu Yu had no choice but to look at Mother Sun for help, after all, Mother Sun was still good to him, and she should be able to help her speak.
But Mother Sun was just about to say something, Sun Xiaoxi hurriedly said: "Mom, I still have to leave in advance, I will definitely solve this case, I don't believe that the wisdom of modern people is not as good as that of the ancients." Saying that, he forcibly pulled Wu Yu out, so that Wu Yu didn't even have a chance to speak.
However, as soon as the two of them came downstairs to the car, Wu Yu was about to open the car door and found that the jade pendant in Sun Xiaoxi's hand suddenly looked like a firefly, emitting a faint green light.
