Chapter 197: Ghost Gate
After having dinner at Liu Yingqu's place and chatting with the old man for a while, the three of Muyuan said goodbye and left. Came to an alley not far from the campus, where Zheng Bu and Fu Wei were already waiting.
"Son, why are you here? We've been waiting for a long time! Zheng Bu complained and handed over the bag in his hand.
"Is there anything going on today?"
"It's nothing else, but the dormitory administrator came over and said that the school security department was looking for you and asked you to come over!" Fu Wei said, "At that time, you couldn't get through on the phone, and the aunt downstairs waited for a while and went back, just to tell you about it!" ”
Mu Yuan nodded, thought for a while, and said, "Boss, viagra, you haven't seen me today, and this thing, I lost it together when my house was stolen last time, understand?" ”
"Don't worry, I understand!" Zheng Bu nodded, "Then what are you going to do with this thing now?" ”
"I'll find a good place, and I won't have any more trouble in the future!" Makihara picked up his bag and wanted to reach out to stop the car.
"Let's go by car!" Zheng Bu handed over the key, "There are a lot of people taking taxis at this time, and I don't know when it will be!" ”
"No way!" Xia Xue shook her head, "If there are really criminal detectives staring, they will definitely notice this car!" ”
Mu Yuan also agreed with Xia Xue's statement, the last time the traffic police embarrassed this car, it showed that Zeng Shao dared to know about their car, and now in order to get the coffin of the spirit, it is impossible for them not to fight the idea of this car.
"Boss, you guys drive out for a few laps, let's take a taxi and go!" Just in case, Muyuan also resorted to a plan to divert the tiger from the mountain.
"Okay!" Zheng Bu smiled, "My second brother and I will leave now, if someone really follows, we will take them to the suburbs to relax!" ”
"Stay safe on the road!" Mu Yuan explained, and took the lead in the small alley on the side.
After a few circles on the road, when it was almost time, the three of them finally came to Tongyuanmen. It was already the middle of the night, and it was the turn of late autumn and early winter, and although some vehicles passed through the city gate from time to time, there was silence on the city gate.
In some works of public opinion in Hong Kong and Taiwan, the so-called "ghost door direction" and "ghost door line" are often mentioned, and the word "ghost gate" comes from "Zhou Yi", the ancients felt that the living environment is inseparable from qi, and there is life only with qi. Because the flow of qi will inevitably produce an aura, setting up a feng shui bureau on the only way to enter and exit the aura is very helpful to me. As big as a city, as small as a house, a room has a ghost door line.
For example, from the center of the house, it is called "Omotogimon" within 45 degrees to the northeast and "Satokimon" within 45 degrees to the southwest. The corresponding direction of "Table Ghost Gate" in the compass is Chou Gen Yin, and the corresponding direction of "Li Ghost Gate" in the compass is Wei Kunshen. The center line through the northeast and southwest is called the "Ghost Gate Line", that is, the Genkun Line on the compass.
Tongyuan Gate is in the northeast corner of the ancient city of the city, near the ghost gate, in addition, in ancient times, there was a mass grave outside the Tongyuan Gate, known as "the gong sounds, someone dies; Through the far gate, bury the dead" is sung among the people.
After standing on the gate for about a quarter of an hour, Mu Yuan paced back and forth a few times, as if measuring something, and muttering something to himself from time to time. Xia Xue wanted to ask a few words, but when she saw Mu Yuan's preoccupied look, she stopped again.
"Found it, let's go!" Makihara said.
"What did you find?" Xia Xue asked strangely, did she find the old man surnamed Cai? But there were a lot of street lamps under the city gate, and she didn't find anyone.
After getting off the city gate, Mu Yuan walked towards a narrow dark alley not far away, and after only a few steps, he stopped.
"Are you sure you want to come with us?" Makihara asked, "It's too late to go back now!" ”
"Sure!" Xia Xue replied affirmatively.
Makihara stopped talking and continued to walk down the alley. Before entering the alley, Xia Xue felt a wet and cold breath rushing towards her, mixed with an unpleasant smell, like a rotten smell, and like the smell of urine, which made people feel disgusting. Xia Xue frowned, and wanted to cover her mouth and nose with her hands, but seeing Long Ling'er's unaware appearance, she forced the idea again.
From the moment he entered the alley, Mu Yuan was silently counting the steps under his feet, and after walking a short distance, he stopped at a turn. Xia Xue looked around, this is a three-way intersection, one is the way to come, one goes straight down to the next street, and the other is an uphill Shikan Road, the Shikan Road is very short, that is, twenty or thirty steps, facing a dilapidated wall.
Xia Xue couldn't understand it this time, there was a wall at the end of the steps, so who was this road for? Looking at the degree of dilapidation of this stone staircase, it is obvious that people used to walk on it often, could it be that this wall was built after demolition or reconstruction?
"That's it, what do you think?" Mu Yuan turned his head and asked Long Ling'er.
Long Ling'er raised her wrist and shook the silver bell, and waited for more than ten seconds before saying: "I don't understand the calculation direction, but I feel that the breath here is a little wrong, the ghost gate should be near here, but my bell has no sense at all!" ”
"This should be it!" Mu Yuan's eyes rolled, and the black pupils carefully looked around.
Xia Xue didn't feel surprised anymore, because she had already seen these black eyes, but she didn't know why, but Mu Yuan at this time brought her a familiar feeling, as if they had talked to each other a few times. As she was thinking back to this familiar feeling, Makihara's question interrupted her.
"Xia Xue, are you sure you want to follow us?"
"Go, even if you go to hell, I'll follow!" Xia Xue was a little annoyed, these repeated inquiries obviously regarded her as a burden.
"Huh!" Makihara smiled, "It's not hell, but it's almost!" Come here! ”
Long Ling'er and Xia Xue followed Mu Yuan up the stone steps and went straight to the wall, Mu Yuan stretched out his hand and groped for a while on the wall, as if he wanted to confirm something.
"What are you looking for? Cranny? Are we going to turn it over? Xia Xue asked curiously.
"We can't go anywhere!" Long Ling'er said with a grin, "That's a different dimension, a place where the two worlds of yin and yang are intertwined!" ”
"Yin and Yang? Staggered teeth? Xia Xuehu asked suspiciously, "Three regardless of the zone?" Really? ”
"Well, almost!" Long Ling'er nodded, "Actually, it's a ghost market!" ”
"Ghost market? Isn't that the place to set up a stall? Xia Xue looked around, "How can there be a ghost market in such a small place?" ”
"You're talking about the ghost market in the sun, commonly known as the night market!" Long Ling'er explained, "The real ghost market is specially opened to people on the edge of the yin and yang worlds, buying and selling some Xuanyi laws, I saw some rare small things in that open valley, presumably from the ghost market!" ”
"Have you ever been to a ghost market?" Makihara asked curiously.
"Nope! Our lineage lives in the mountains and forests, sparsely populated, and the ghost gate line is difficult to find, and the old witch never takes me there! Long Ling'er's little mouth pouted playfully, looking very cute.
"Ready? We're going in! Mu Yuan said, letting Xia Xue and Long Ling'er into a very remote corner, hiding in the darkness.
"Go in? Where to go? Xia Xue thought strangely, there was a wall in front of her, and there was not even a door, did she want to break through the wall and enter?
Just when Xia Xue was pondering, she suddenly saw Mu Yuan's palm swinging, and the fire appeared in his palm, this fire Xia Xue had seen countless times, she had always thought that this was just Mu Yuan's magic prop, which was mixed by some kind of chemical agent. But seeing this kind of place today, Xia Xue completely dispelled this idea.
The seven up and eight down, upside down and upside down and upside down mentioned by Cai He, "Beisha" is not a well-known idiom, but a hexagram in the "Book of Changes", or these two idioms evolved from the "Book of Changes". In the Book of Changes, the odd number represents yang, and the even number represents yin, where nine is the most yang, six is pure yin, and the numbers seven and eight represent less yang and less yin respectively, yang is expanded, and less yang is transformed into yang is up, and less yin is turned into pure yin is down, which is called seven up and eight down. "Beisha" here says that seven up and eight down is a process of operation, standing under the ghost gate, it is necessary to separate the yin and yang of the human body, yang to yang, yin to yin. The same is true for the reversal of the three and four, when changing the hexagram, the first six hangings are all regular and gradual, while the seventh and eighth hexagrams are huge changes, respectively returning to the soul and leaving the soul.
To put it bluntly, it is to make the soul out of the body, which is the so-called crossing of the yin.
In the flash of the fire, a formation appeared at the feet of the three of them, Xia Xue only felt that her body was light, and then she was pulled by Mu Yuan through the wall and entered.
"Be obedient when you go in, don't walk around, only have time for three incense sticks, I'm waiting for you here!" Makihara's voice came from behind him.
Xia Xue was startled, didn't Mu Yuan come in with her? She turned her head to look, but she could still see the shadow of the wall, and the fog in front of her was that she was already in a completely different world.
