Fortunately, after the clothes fell, the night was safe, I fell asleep when the day was almost dawn, because I was nervous all night, and I slept more deeply after being relieved, and when I woke up again, it was already about ten o'clock in the morning.

Thinking about last night's experience, I still have some lingering palpitations, the girl who appeared outside the door yesterday and the girl behind me are definitely not the same person.

Or rather, it's definitely not the same thing.

Hurriedly washed his face and brushed his teeth to sober himself, and wanted to find Old Man Ji quickly.

Old man Ji hasn't been out of the stall recently, and the first thing he said after seeing me was, "When you went back yesterday, did you see anything following you?" ”

My chick nodded again and again like a chicken, and asked Old Man Ji why this happened.

Old man Ji pondered for a moment, "According to the general saying, if a person dies in the water, his soul will stay in the water, turn into a water ghost, and find a stand-in to be freed, but this one in you doesn't know what's going on, and he actually left the water with the corpse, which is the first strange thing; The second strange thing is that she is different from ordinary ghosts, ordinary ghosts have a very weak point, that is, the phase gate on the top of the head, which is where the ghost's essence is condensed, dip your middle finger in cinnabar and point at the top of its head, and it will leave, but the girl behind you, it is completely useless to point at the top of her head. ”

The more he described me, the more scared I became, even about the red eyes that appeared on the cat's eye last night.

Old man Ji was already thinking about something, but after listening to me, his expression became solemn, and he asked in detail, "Boy, it seems that you are too old this year, no wonder the black qi of the palace at the bridge of your nose lingers, this is a precursor to turning into a death calamity." ”

After finishing speaking, Old Man Ji used his right index finger and middle finger together to press my Doom Palace.

I felt his fingers hot, as if they had just been roasted on the fire.

After pressing it more than ten times, Old Man Ji withdrew his hand and shook his head, "I don't know if you are destined, or if the thing that collided is too powerful, the black qi of the Doom Palace can't be dispersed, even if it is forcibly dispersed, it will recondense." ”

In the words of the face, this is called inescapable.

Although I haven't done a good thing to help my grandmother cross the road, I haven't done anything bad that hurts the heavens and reason, how could I get into this death?

Old man Ji walked a few steps in the house with his back hand, and heheed, "What is a robbery, the strength that can't be removed is called a robbery, everything has a cause before it has an effect, I guess the root of everything is in the dead girl." ”

Old man Ji was speechless when he said this, and asked, "The girls are dead, what does it have to do with her?" ”

Old Man Ji glanced at me, "Dead?" How did he die? Why did you run so far into the river by committing suicide? Why go in the middle of the night? ”

My mind wasn't too foggy, and I asked, "You're saying she didn't kill herself?" ”

"I just suspect that her soul is strange, not like a normal death. There is only one way to dissipate the calamity on your palace of ill fortune and stop this girl from following you, and that is to find out the true cause of her death. ”

My head was a little big, and I said, "Captain Ye, they haven't figured it out yet, how can I find out?" ”

Old man Ji said, "Why? Just by what you learn. What is a celestial machine? What is the art of ghosts and gods not checking? If you can't solve this problem, then don't learn divination. ”

I was suddenly relieved by his training, and my heart recovered a little, and I asked him how to find it.

Old man Ji said let me clean my hands and burn incense, and he will come to help me solve a hexagram in a while.

I didn't expect that Old Man Ji would be so good to me at a critical time, and my words revealed my gratitude to him, but he heheed, "The reason why I help you, one of them is because I expect you to inherit my mantle, and now there are not many young people who are willing to learn this; Another is that I have no heirs, and if I die one day, someone must wear a filial piety robe for me to mourn. ”

I frowned and said, "You're only in your fifties, how can you talk about such frustration?" ”

Old man Ji smiled, "There is life and death, the law of nature, I can't escape this law, at this juncture, I should have been dormant, but now I have to take action, I have a bad premonition." ”

I asked him what he was talking about, but he stopped talking.

Just ask me if I've read that book.

I said I had read it, but I didn't understand it very well.

He snorted, "I can still understand the first few meditators, I don't need me to teach you, you can figure it out yourself; You don't need me to teach you the rest because I don't understand it either. ”

I was taken aback and asked him what he was doing with this book for me, Old Man Ji heheheed twice, "You have talent, maybe you can eat this book thoroughly, and you will definitely be a great master at that time!" ”

Old man Ji has always been a little weird, he gave me this book just for me, and it was useless to ask.

As I spoke, I washed my hands, and he put in the incense, and handed me something for divination, but it was a boxy white sieve.

I am very strange, I have never seen a sieve that can be used as a divination instrument, but Old Man Ji said, "Hexagram is so high and deep, everything in heaven and earth can be used for divination, and besides, this sieve is made of buffalo bones, which is specially used for divination of evil things." ”

I grabbed the cow bone sieve in my hand, found it heavy, shook it sincerely, and then threw it out, after landing three times, Old Man Ji asked me to stop, he remembered the three numbers on the surface of the sieve, half-squinted his eyes and pondered for a while, and then pinched his fingers with his hand to calculate, I haven't seen anyone deduce the hexagram for so long, and finally he said, "Okay, we'll go into the mountain in a while." ”

I was confused and asked him where the mountain was? What to do in the mountains?

He shook the cow bone sieve in his hand, "I have already occupied your hexagram, there are three officials and ghosts in it, there is nothing to doubt about what you provoked evil monsters, the overall hexagram is Gen, and the direction is due south, which means that the problem lies in the barren mountains south of the moat." ”

In the barren mountains?

Next to the moat is a barren mountain, but the mountain is dangerous, overgrown with weeds, inaccessible, I haven't been there in the past six months, how can I suddenly have a connection with the mountain?

For Old Man Ji's divination, I am still quite convinced, not to mention his previous theories, he can only calculate the missing human head, which is definitely not something that ordinary fortune tellers can do.

I suspect that the cause of death of this girl named Zhang Xiaoya is related to the barren mountains south of the moat.

Old man Ji also thinks so.

After a simple noodle order at his house, and after eating it, he rested for a while, and the old man Ji signaled that I could go, he brought some cinnabar to ward off evil spirits, and also took a ring ruler about forty centimeters long and covered in pitch black.

Seeing that I wasn't prepared for anything, Old Man Ji glared at me with his eyes, "Don't forget what you're following behind you, be careful of dropping the chain when it's critical." ”

Old man Ji is really scary, he reminds me all the time, I have to find the red line again, the red line of his house is ready-made, I wrapped it around my wrists many times, and prayed silently in my heart, this time I must let me know what is going on when I enter the mountain, otherwise such a fierce ghost will follow behind me, and I don't know when I can get out of control, which is really enough.

When everything was ready, I rode the broken bicycle that was about to fall apart, and drove Old Man Ji straight to the direction of the barren mountain he had laid out.

The south side of the moat is a barren mountain, the range is very large, it is overgrown with weeds and bitter bamboo, and there is no development value, usually no one goes at all, and the nearest road to the barren mountain from us is the stone bridge that hides the human head.

Old man Ji went to the barren mountain, and to get to this barren mountain, you have to pass through the stone bridge, and I always feel that there is some kind of connection in all this.

After entering the barren mountain, I thought I didn't know what to look for, but I didn't expect Old Man Ji to tell me directly, "Find a house." ”

He explained that the hexagram he had previously drawn was Gen, and in addition to speaking about the mountains, the figure drawn by Gen resembled an inverted bowl, which was used for shielding, and in this vast mountain, it could only be a house.

I nodded in agreement, and I was shocked, I didn't expect that Old Man Ji could get so much information just from a hexagram, no wonder he said that divination is a peep into the heavens.

It is much easier to find a house in the mountains, because there are not many houses in the mountains, some of which may have been inhabited before, but now they are deserted, and there are scattered houses that are inhabited by some fruit growers.

There are three officials and ghosts in the hexagram, and Old Man Ji suggested that I find a house with no one in the house, only an uninhabited house is prone to evil things.

Until the evening, we found two uninhabited houses on the barren mountains in this area, the first one had a dilapidated wooden bed in it, and there were some toilet paper and some indescribable things scattered on the ground, and there was a fishy smell, Old Man Ji only glanced at it and fell, "The more places like this, the more evil things are likely to happen." ”

The second room was relatively clean, with only a broken pot in the room, and the floor was full of mud, presumably caused by rats making holes in the ground.

After finding these two houses, Old Man Ji looked at the sky, "Now the time has come to test your courage, the two of us will guard one by one until eleven o'clock in the evening." ”

My eyes widened, "Why are you still guarding?" ”

Old man Ji said, "There is evil in the hexagram, and evil things are afraid of the sun, whether it is a person or a ghost, so we have to squat here, and before the turn of Haizi, things related to you should be revealed, so we wait until eleven o'clock at night." ”

The mountain was dark very quickly, and at this time it was already dark, I didn't expect to be separated from Old Man Ji and squatting in this dead and silent mountain, I was a little afraid, and asked him if he had any other way.

"Nope."

Old man Ji replied very simply.

I thought about it, and chose this relatively clean and dilapidated house, according to the old man Ji's words, a house without filth has a small probability of evil events.

After choosing, Old Man Ji said again, "If anything is wrong, call me." ”

He was going to wait in another house, and when he was leaving, he patted me on the shoulder, "Manly man, be bold, and expect you to be alone in the future, how can this be reassuring." ”

After Old Man Ji left, of course I didn't dare to wait in the house, so I chose to sit behind a few big trees about thirty meters away from the house.

As the sky became darker and darker, I didn't dare to sit anymore, and lay directly on the ground, the quieter the mountain, the more afraid of a sudden sound, and even more afraid of a phone or text ringtone, I quickly took out my mobile phone and turned it to silent.

In this state, I felt that time was passing very slowly, and I felt that a few hours had passed, so I secretly flipped out my phone and glanced at it, but it was not even ten o'clock.

It was pitch black all around, and strangely there was no sound of insects, and when I looked around, I didn't know what was hidden, which made my scalp tingle.

It's really too old this year, I was pestered by a dead girl, and I had to come to find the cause of her death, thinking of this girl, I suddenly felt the grass and trees behind me moving slightly.

There was no wind in the mountains at this time, and the grass and trees behind me were shaking, and I felt my whole body tight, could it be that this girl was really killed here? Follow me to where she was killed, so she has a sense too?

Old man Ji said that when people are extremely afraid, their courage will decline, and at this time, they can see everything that they usually can't see without the help of rhino horn incense.

I slowly turned my head and sure enough, I saw something white that was fluttering behind me.

The cold hairs on my body were about to explode, and I just wanted to get up and run, but at this moment, I heard small footsteps in my ears, and I resisted my fear, and saw two figures, one tall and one short, who seemed to be men, coming in the direction of this house.

The movement of the grass and trees behind me immediately stopped.

Then I saw a short man walking in front, holding a straw rope in his hand, and tying it to the neck of the tall man behind him, who was mechanically following him.
