Chapter 21: Conclusion
Brother Yang was my first customer after entering the industry, so it had a special meaning for me, and his death gave me a great impact.
At first, I thought he was mentally wrong, but then I thought he had to make an enemy without paying attention, which led to the creation of revenge, after all, there are a lot of tricks to torture people in the industry, and it doesn't necessarily have to be exorcised or something.
Of course, there is another possibility, that is, backlash, casting tricks such as peach blossoms, all of which are against heaven and reason, and you have to back cause and effect, Brother Yang doesn't understand this, and he has no restraint, and finally plays himself to death.
However, I went to the autopsy later, intending to see if Brother Yang had left any traces of curses or backlash, but he encountered a mess of bad things, and he was delayed after coming and going, and the corpses were cremated into ashes, so it was a fart.
But in the final analysis, the culprit is still the old man who sells strange books, he is the initiator of this incident, if it weren't for him, Brother Yang would still be an ordinary person living an ordinary life.
What I didn't expect was that now I actually met someone who bought strange books, which is not due to fate.
Because of curiosity, I mobilized my eyesight, activated the yin and yang eyes, glanced at Xia Rui's father, and almost didn't cry out in surprise.
I estimate that even a ghost may not be able to see him with this level of aura.
There are two reasons for this situation, either Xia Rui's father is a master in the industry and intends to hide his breath; Either that, he has a catastrophe coming recently, and his luck is low and his life is not long in coming.
But no matter which one it is, I have to pay attention to Xia Rui's father, if you can't get it right, the formation of gathering yin qi in the urban village is made up by him, and as for the purpose and motive, I am very concerned.
And because, although the consumption of yin and yang eyes is not large, with my current physical state, I still can't use it indiscriminately anytime and anywhere, so I silently weaken my eyesight and remove the yin and yang eyes.
Later, I felt that today's field investigation task had been basically completed, so I planned to withdraw first, and casually found a reason, saying that I would go to the next student's home to visit, so I said goodbye to Xia Rui's father.
Xia Rui's father wanted to keep me for dinner, but he couldn't resist me and repeatedly shirked it, and in the end, because he wanted to take care of his wife, he just sent me out of the door, and did not send me downstairs.
It wasn't until I saw Xia Rui's father close the door that I began to walk down the stairs, and just after I got down the stairs, I heard footsteps below, and the sound was getting closer and closer, and someone was coming up.
The corridor was very damp and narrow, and I was worried about colliding with someone who came, so I stopped at the entrance of the corridor on the third floor, intending to let the people below go up first.
But when the owner of the footsteps appeared in front of me, I was stunned for a moment, it was Xia Rui! She is still wearing that coat, and she doesn't dislike the heat in the summer, the key is not afraid of heat stroke.
She also saw me, but just glanced at me, and quickly buried her head in it, and without speaking, she walked straight past me, which gave me a strange feeling.
I just watched her go upstairs, but she seemed to be distracted or something, and she actually stepped on the air and was about to fall.
"Are you alright?" I rushed forward and caught Xia Rui from behind in time.
Xia Rui's face was pale, and the whole person was still in a state of confusion, but she quickly reacted, struggled to stand up, and stared at me at a loss, looking like a pure and shy girl.
"Thank you......." Xia Rui crossed her hands in front of her chest, and didn't seem to be very good at dealing with strangers.
I glanced at Xia Rui and focused on her wrists, and found that both of her wrists were tied with red ropes, and the knotting method was also very special, if nothing else, it should be an insider's technique.
And the moment I hugged Xia Rui just now, I found that her body was extremely cold, and I could feel the heavy cold through the clothes, and there must be some secret hidden under the coat.
I smiled and nodded, and said, "No thanks." After saying that, he didn't linger any longer, and went straight downstairs.
Perhaps because of the scarcity of customers in the urban village, I waited on the side of the road for a long time before stopping a taxi, and after getting in the car and saying the address, I didn't talk to him, and silently digested the things I had just met Xia Rui in my heart.
I thought about it for a long time, and then I entangled the scattered clues such as the remnants of incense candles, "Walking Horse Yin and Yang", dry ice, red rope, coat, etc., and then a thought gradually appeared in my mind.
It seems that next time, I have to talk to Xia Rui's father and Xia Rui!!
When I made up my mind, the driver had already sent me to the periphery of the farmers' market in the city, because there were many people in the city, and the market was even more crowded, and the driver did not plan to send me in, saying that he would charge a less fare, so he let me walk in by myself.
It's a few steps away, I don't have any opinion, so I gave the money to get out of the car, but when I got off the bus, I was blindsided.
I'm not a local, and I used to rarely go shopping, so I didn't know that there were all kinds of large shopping malls in the farmers' market here, and I suddenly felt like a mountain cannon entering the city.
After going around for a long time, I finally found an antique street, saying that it is an antique street, in fact, there are few shops, and there are not many pedestrians on the road.
In fact, on the side of this street, there are some small stalls, and most of the owners of the stalls have complicated identities, either farmers in the suburbs, or scammers (liars), or they may be Yuan Liang who is inverted, and the dragons and snakes are mixed.
Looking around, the stalls were full of miscellaneous things, old books, broken jars, and strange objects that I had never seen.
I heard that someone used to sell an old compass, and then it was collected for thousands of dollars, and the buyer took it to auction, which is said to be a Taoist magic weapon, and finally seemed to be fried to a sky-high price, making millions in vain.
For this kind of thing, I just listen to the story, and if there is something real to put out, I will also see the excitement. First, I can't afford it when I'm poor, and I have to be careful about spending hundreds of dollars; Second, the antique industry is too deep, and it has not been invaded in it for decades, and most of them pay more tuition.
The stall owners were very cold, and when they saw me passing by, they didn't look at me squarely, and they didn't plan to shout to attract customers.
I didn't care about those stalls, so I casually found a shop that looked at the decoration of the antiquity, and finally walked in with insufficient momentum.
The boss looks very kind, his face is a little chubby, and when he saw a customer coming to the door, he quickly got up to greet him, and at the same time asked me what I needed to see.
"Old yellow paper and cinnabar, the older the better." I replied, but my eyes were wandering in the store, obediently, many treasure pavilions were full of antiques, what blue and white porcelain, Tang Sancai and so on, as for whether it was Xibei goods, I didn't dare to jump to conclusions.
