Chapter 18: The Two Laws of Dark Magic
The third uncle looked at the homework book, his body suddenly tilted, and I quickly supported him: "Third uncle, are you okay?" ”
The third uncle's face was not good-looking: "This smoke is very domineering, I'm afraid I will be able to recover one day, and the spell can no longer be used." ”
I said, "Third uncle, why don't you go back and rest, I'll go find the child." ”
The third uncle looked at me and nodded, "Okay." That kid didn't have much else, but there were two things that made people feel frightened and had to be guarded against. One is scheming, and the other is being able to control the spirit. When you go to him, wear aluminum clothes, so that you can effectively protect yourself. ”
I promised.
The third uncle sighed: "I have a hunch, the child is estimated to have left, even if he looks for it, he can't find it." ”
I asked why.
The third uncle said: "Why did Chen Wang die? He was the puppet of the child, and the child knew that Chen Wang had been followed, so he abandoned the puppet at a critical time. ”
I was taken aback: "You mean that the child controlled Chen Wang to jump off the building?" ”
"Yes." The third uncle said: "At the critical moment, it is really not easy for this child to lose his pawn and protect the car. He has been controlling Chen Wang for seven or eight years, and he must be handy, and it will come naturally. But at a critical time, he said that he would kill him, and this person's belly was unfathomable. The odds of finding him again are low now, and he is probably far away. ”
He looked at the name on the homework book: "Let's divide the soldiers, you go to the school and ask, and I will look for clues around to see if I can find information about this child." ”
It was getting late, so we didn't go back to the village, so we found a small hotel near the town to rest.
Early the next morning, I arrived at the town center primary school at about nine o'clock. After the gate, let me go to the second-grade office, I explained my intention to the dean of teaching, claiming to be a relative of the child Li Pu, the child was doing homework at my house last night, and left the homework book, for fear of delaying schoolwork, I came early in the morning to return the homework book.
The dean of education estimated that he often dealt with children, and he was very sincere, and did not doubt my identity, and said, "Big brother, don't you know? ”
My second monk was puzzled: "What do you know?" ”
The dean said: "Early this morning, Lip's uncle came and went through the withdrawal procedures for the child. ”
"What's that? Dropped out? "My jaw dropped.
The dean said, "His uncle came early in the morning, and he was anxious to go through the formalities. ”
I quickly asked him, did the child arrive at school in the morning?
The dean nodded: "His uncle said that the child will go to school in Shanghai in the future." ”
I asked him what kind of person his uncle was.
The dean devoted, "You are all relatives, don't you know this person? I think the two of them are quite harmonious, and Li Pu has been holding his uncle's hand, which should not be coercion. ”
My heart sank, and I secretly regretted that I should have come earlier, maybe I could have blocked them.
I've never seen the image of the person the dean described. I vaguely made a judgment: this so-called uncle is probably the new puppet controlled by the child Lip!
The dean of education chattered and said: "In fact, according to the process, it will take a few days to withdraw from school, but somehow, today is very smooth, and they will be able to complete it all the way......"
I had an unbelievable thought, would Li Pu even control these teachers and directors or something, and control them to go through the formalities as soon as possible.
I stayed at school for a while, just in time for the end of the second year class, and I talked to the head teacher at the recommendation of the dean. According to the head teacher, Li Pu was a very honest and inconspicuous student. I barely talk much in class, often do homework alone, rarely mix with classmates to play, and my academic performance is neither good nor bad, and I don't slip away.
All in all, it's a student who can't be remembered when he's mixed in.
I was secretly surprised that Li Pu had learned to taoguang at a young age, and he was obviously pretending. This kid is not yet ten years old, where did he learn the spell, and how he honed such adult scheming, it is simply incredible.
As soon as he landed in his mother's womb, he had already begun to cultivate, and it was only eight or nine years old.
I suddenly thought of a question, my grandfather has passed away for more than ten years, and Li Puman is less than ten years old, why did my grandfather's left manuscript appear in his hands, and what happened in between? Could it be that Li Pu still has a master, and there is a key link hidden in the middle?
I didn't find much useful information at school, so I had to go back to the hotel, but my third uncle was not there, and I waited until it was dark before he returned.
When we came back, we left the room, he didn't say anything, and took me back to the village in a small bus.
On the way, I tried to ask a question several times, but he waved my hand and told me not to say anything. When I got home, my mother asked, where did you go for two or three days?
The third uncle's attitude towards my mother was still very good, telling her that he took me out to go around, inspect the market, and wanted to invest money for Qiangzi to do a small business.
My mother was very happy to hear this, I have been idle at home for more than a month, and my mother's main concern is to let me have a formal job.
The third uncle gave me a look, and we were in his room. As soon as he entered the house, the third uncle's fatigue was fully revealed, and he sat against the wall, weak, and his face was sallow.
"Third uncle, are you alright?" I said worriedly.
The third uncle closed his eyes and said, "Qiangzi, bring me a cigarette." ”
I lit the cigarette and shoved it into his hand. The third uncle took a few puffs, and then said: "I went to visit and investigate, and Li Pu's situation probably made an inference. ”
I listened quietly.
The third uncle said: "I found the King of Rags and asked him if he knew a man named Lipu, and he recalled it for a long time and told me that he really knew him. It was more than ten years ago, and there lived next to him a young man named Li Pu. This man had little money, and he liked to read, and he often went to the tattered king, picking up old books, and sometimes bringing back a few books, and wanted to pay for them, but the tattered king confiscated them because of his friendship. As long as he doesn't take much, he takes it. The two of them were neighbors of each other, and for about a year, this Lip suddenly disappeared, and it seemed that overnight the man had moved away, without any warning. ”
I blinked and said, "Third uncle, do you think this young man is the same person as the child we saw?" ”
"There are many indications that this is the case." The third uncle said, "However, the details are all inferred by me. Li Pu should have accidentally discovered the manuscript of your grandfather An Shichang, and after he took it back, he practiced according to it, and somehow he actually rejuvenated, became a child, and practiced a body of evil arts. For now, this is the most logical inference. ”
I told my third uncle about the investigation at school.
The third uncle's expression was lost, and his face was sad.
His enemies are coming soon, and they are going to find him, and it is impossible to imagine what will happen when the time comes. I have experienced two fights, the third uncle and the paper man Zhang, the third uncle and the demon Li Pu, these two times are nine deaths and one life, and my heart is thrilled.
When it comes to spells, I don't have Zhang Hong's excitement, I feel that this is a high-risk industry, and I can't guarantee that one day people will be killed silently.
The third uncle waved me out. When I went out, he suddenly said: "Qiangzi, you tell Zhang Hong, you keep a low profile these days, don't come to me again." I can feel the danger getting closer, and I can't hold you down. ”
I nodded in agreement.
In the past few days, the third uncle has ordered that no one is allowed to come to the backyard to look for him. Zhang Hong came twice, but I stopped him. Zhang Honglian shouted a pity: "My clay villain is almost finished, and I originally wanted to show it to my master." ”
I don't believe it: "So fast? Clay needs a lot of materials, both ashes and grave soil, you have it so quickly? ”
Zhang Hong was proud: "Who am I?" By the way, I'll show you the effect when the villain gets it done. It's certainly no worse than Master's. ”
I had a grudge against black witchcraft and sent him away.
During the day, I helped my mother clean up the house and outside the house, and at night, when I was fine, I hid in my room alone to read the manuscripts left by my grandfather.
It's a pity, most of them are torn up, and the pages are incomplete, but even guessing, I can probably understand part of the context.
Grandpa has a deep study of the dark witch law. Dark witchcraft is simply an evil spell. Grandpa's manuscript begins with a clear title, there is no good law or evil law in the world, no distinction between black and white law, it all depends on the intention of the legal person. Harming people is black witchcraft.
Black witchcraft exists in different races and nationalities all over the world, and in China it is called Taoism and Maoshan Magic. It is called black magic in the West, black-clothed in Southeast Asia, and Yin-Yang Tao in Tantra in Japan.
There are many types of black witchcraft, such as cursing others, stealing money, taking revenge on enemies, summoning demons, evil spirits, and sacrificing people. In addition to these, there are two basic laws of black witchcraft.
The first law is called the law of similarity, which means that similar things will produce similar effects. The most representative is the cursed puppet, which was called the villain in ancient China. Sticking the birthday date of the person you hate on the doll and prick it with a needle every day will make him feel painful. The clay figurines made by Zhang Hong belong to this kind of thing.
One of the most famous cases in ancient China, the case of the Crown Prince Wu of the Han Dynasty, was caused by this spell.
