Zheng Yi asked Fan Tong to get him a table or chair to use as the base of the "altar", so that he could place the incense wax paper code on it, and piggyback on a few small objects, such as a basin for holding the burning talisman paper.

After all, they are not acting in a horror movie, and if they really burn the rune paper and cause a fire, it will be counterproductive.

Fan Tong left the master bedroom, and Mo Chen asked Zheng Yi in a low voice, "Did you sense something?" ”

Zheng Yi stared at Mo Chen's eyes with a strange smile: "When did you become a roundworm in my stomach?" ”

"Fuck off! Don't disgust me! Mo Chen scolded.

Zheng Yi did see the problem in the photos of Fan Tong's parents, just like Mo Chen thought, common sense, even if the photo paper will slowly oxidize and fade due to time. Even so, the location of the fading will generally start with the area, rather than the regular fading according to the person in the photo.

In the photo, although the silhouette of Fan Tong's mother has begun to fade slowly, her father's figure can be said to be almost faint to transparent, which is a bit like a "supernatural photo".

Zheng Yi pointed to the background in the photo, "You can see the flowers and trees behind these two people, although they are also yellow, but the flowers and grass are still clear." ”

Mo Chen looked at the photo carefully, and as Zheng Yi said, except for the background part, which is a little old, it is all clear. It's just that the two people in the photo, as if they have been processed by some image software, one fades, and the other almost disappears.

"What does this mean?" Mo Chen asked puzzled.

Zheng Yi lowered his voice and said in Mo Chen's ear, "Do you remember the living dead!" ”

Mo Chen was just about to speak, at this time, Haiting helped Fan Tong walk in with a folding long table, Zheng Yi touched Mo Chen's arm, Mo Chen didn't answer again, and quietly put the photo frame back in place.

"Take a look, is this okay? This is the table my mom usually uses to put on the cutting board. Fan Tong said and placed the long table in the middle of the ground.

Zheng Yi glanced at it, "Well, just use it!" ”

Zheng Yi commanded everyone to set up the altar, and Mo Chen saw a hand-drawn drawing on the offering table, the pattern on it was a bit like a computer game minesweeper, one square grid connected to another of equal size. There is a copper coin pressed on each of the four corners of the drawing, and around the drawing, there are four tacks, and each nail is pulled with a red line, as if it plays a role in protection.

According to Zheng Yi's request, the window in the master bedroom must be opened, but he didn't say what it was really for, Mo Chen just did it.

Mo Chen felt that everything in front of him really seemed to have brought to reality a horror movie specializing in Taoist priesthood, with a small incense burner in the center of the offering table, incense to be burned next to it, and white candles standing on both sides of the incense burner. If a black and white photo is placed on the offering table at this moment, it really feels like a mourning hall, and thinking of this, Mo Chen's arms can't help but get goosebumps.

Ready for everything, the four of them tacitly didn't speak again, and even the big-mouthed Haiting was "shocked" by the environment in front of him, and closed his lips tightly.

The clock on the wall ticked forward, the hour hand pointed to twelve, and midnight had arrived. Zheng Yi had words in his mouth, stomped back and forth in front of the offering table, suddenly turned around, and ignited a piece of rune paper, which quickly burned out, and was thrown into the basin with a thud.

Zheng Yi stopped in front of the offering table, stacked a copper coin with his two fingers and muttered, "Fan Wu~~Fan Wu~~~" Zheng Yi's low voice, with a hint of hoarseness, made people sound like the spirit of the Jianghu Divine Stick.

"There is a road in the west, but it is not a destination, listen to my call, and respond quickly!" After that, Zheng Yi threw the copper coin in his hand onto the drawing on the desktop, and the copper coin fell on the drawing, shaking violently, and making circles on the spot. Zheng Yi leaned over, his arms propped on the edge of the table, staring at the trajectory of the copper coin's movement.

With the different rotations of the copper coin, Zheng Yi's face became more and more ugly, and Mo Chen wanted to ask Zheng Yi if the copper coin was not sure if it was because he couldn't find Fan's mother's direction, or if they made a mistake in any of their steps. However, before the altar was opened, Zheng Yiwan told them that no matter what happened, they were not allowed to make a sound and disturb him.

"There is a place for life and death, and there is also a place for the soul!" Zheng Yi suddenly shouted, grabbed a handful of white rice prepared in advance, and threw it towards the offering table. The white rice fell, there was a sound on the ground, and the copper coin immediately fell on the paper and stopped shaking, and Zheng Yi shouted again, "Get up!" ”

Before the words fell, the copper coin began to tremble again, but this time it did not rotate the circle, but trembled in place like a mobile phone vibrating.

Everyone stared nervously at the copper coin, as a layman, their worries were far greater than Zheng Yi's, because they didn't know, and they couldn't even tell what they were afraid of.

Just when Mo Chen was guessing, suddenly there was a sound, and the copper coin ran to the ground in a parabolic trajectory, Zheng Yi leaned over to pick it up, and sighed deeply.

"How? Have you found my mother's location? Fan Tong asked eagerly, and Zheng Yi shook his head helplessly.

I also know that this time the search was not smooth, and the air seemed to freeze for a while.

Mo Chen asked, "Is that step wrong?" ”

Zheng Yi definitely denied it: "No! I don't know how many times I've used the method of finding people, and besides, it's not a difficult operation. ”

"Then how can it fail...... Mo Chen didn't mean to blame Zheng Yi, although Zheng Yi usually hangs his son, but at such a critical moment, he has never dropped the chain.

"Who's to say it's a failure?" Zheng Yi frowned slightly.

Mo Chen looked confused, and looked at Zheng Yi strangely, "Then ...... you"

Zheng Yi suddenly realized, because of his solemn expression, Mo Chen and the others misunderstood the results of the calculation.

Although the copper coin was missing during the ceremony and the direction of Fan's mother could not be found, it cannot be said that this was a failed calculation.

The method of finding the position never distinguishes between the life and death of the person being found, so even if Fan's mother is unfortunately killed, it will not affect the success of the verification ceremony.

Zheng Yi explained that the copper coin representing Fan's mother has always been in an uncertain direction, and what really means is not that the ritual failure of this calculation verification has failed, but that the copper coin has actually given the answer.

During the ceremony, Zheng Yi once shouted, "There is a place for life and death." This sentence is the point, when he saw the first copper coin spinning, he had long been suspicious, so he shouted this sentence, and then the swaying of the copper coin was in response to his sentence.

To put it simply, that is, Fan's mother is now in a situation of not being born or dying, Zheng Yi said this, and Mo Chen immediately thought of the "living dead".

The space between the existence of the living dead is the place of immortality, so the copper coin cannot identify her location in the space of the living, so it falls into chaos.
