17: Straw Man Stand-In
Birthday eight characters, break a lifetime.
This sentence, the first sentence in the grandmother's codex, is considered the opening sentence.
Before I saw the Codex, I didn't believe that a person's eight characters could basically determine the glory and wealth of a person's life, birth, old age, sickness and death.
But after reading the codex, I realized that the eight characters are really mysterious, through the year, month and day of birth, the eight characters are simply arranged at four times, but it can be seen that a person's marriage is good or bad, how many heirs there are, when they will suffer disasters, when they can make a fortune in business, and even if their husbands and wives cheat or not, they can be seen.
On the codex, grandma also emphasized a sentence, a person's birthday can not be given to people at will, if it falls into the hands of someone with a heart, it is indeed possible to change a person's fortune through practice, so that some disasters are approaching.
The eight characters on the yellow talisman on the straw man, although it became a little blurred due to liquid immersion, but at a glance, I was sure that this eight characters were mine.
Birthday, I haven't seen it, I can't know whose it is in general, Xu Buhuo only saw the eight characters and seemed to know that it was mine, so I couldn't help but ask: "How do you know that the eight characters on this are mine?" ”
"Push it with the year, push it forward with the year of this year, the year pillar of this eight characters is exactly eighteen years ago, aren't you exactly eighteen years old?"
"Why is my Bazi in an earthen pot?"
I thought that this was a sacrifice for the village chief, but I didn't expect it to be a calculation against me.
The straw man reminded me of the previous clay figure, plus the eight characters on the straw man, let me know that this straw man is my stand-in.
Putting my stand-in here and sacrificing the soul of the village chief, I don't know the specifics, but I know that this is definitely not a good thing, and I can't help but ask Xu Buhuo what the result would be if he didn't find out.
"I don't know."
Xu Bu replied very simply, I stared at him, he didn't look at me, but at the earthen pot.
My instinct told me that he must have known what the sacrifice would do to me, but he wouldn't say it.
The fear of the unknown and speculation will only increase infinitely.
There was a stone next to it, and I picked it up and smashed the earthen pot, Xu Buhuo looked at me twice and smiled, as if my actions were ridiculous.
Inside the shattered earthen pot, there was a lot of red liquid, and some hair, I looked at it, and it was about the same length as mine, it should be my hair.
With the hair and figure-of-eight layout, I was even more sure that this was a calculation aimed at me.
Why do you want to count me?
In the village, I am the kind of child of someone else's family, well-behaved, with good academic performance, and I didn't recruit anyone to mess with anyone, I can't figure out why the people behind me are calculating me.
Jiang Yan, who is not dead, controls the spirit of Wang Pozi to hook me, and here I find a calculation against me. and the arrangement in the yard last night, I know that Jiang Yan is calculating me, and there is another person behind me who is also calculating me.
Xu Buhuo and Uncle Qin, if this game was arranged by Xu Buhuo, it would be impossible for him to let the grave digging stop the calculation, and the only remaining person was Uncle Qin.
Is he really hurting me?
Thinking back to that smiling and seemingly kind Uncle Qin, I can't figure out what reason he used to harm me.
In addition, who is secretly influencing me and making me dig Jiang Yan's grave like a demon.
As soon as I dug up and saw the village chief, I thought it was for me to save the village chief, but then I found my stand-in below, and I knew that the purpose of influencing me was to let me save myself.
Is there another person hiding in the shadows to protect me?
When the people in the village learned that the village chief ran to Jiang Yan's grave, they were all busy.
"You broom star, it's all you, it's all you, she came to find you, and now even my head is going to be taken away."
Sister Hu suddenly went crazy and scolded angrily, crying and trying to pounce on me.
She refers to Jiang Yan.
With Sister Hu's scolding, except for Xu Buhuo, the rest of the people present looked at me with strange eyes, and seemed to think that Jiang Yan was responsible for the village chief becoming like this, and Jiang Yan suddenly came back because of me.
I tried to explain, but I couldn't say anything. Normally, I feel quite kind to these uncles and aunts, but now, from the fear and speculation in their eyes, I see indifference.
I found that human nature seems to be like this, it is easy to say anything before an accident, as long as someone dies, his brother can immediately turn his face.
was inexplicably calculated, I didn't know what would happen, I didn't have the heart to waste time here, turned around and went down the mountain, Xu Buhuo caught up with me, saying that people are like this, there is no need to care.
"Tell me, old man, what effect will it have on me if that sacrifice is completed?"
I suddenly turned my head to stare at Xu Buhuo, because I knew that although this calculation was not made by him, as far as his ability was, he must know the result of this calculation.
Xu Buhuo was silent for more than ten seconds and said, "In the past two days, haven't you felt anything abnormal in your shoulder?" ”
I subconsciously moved my shoulder and asked, "No?" Since the loss of spirit, my whole body has always been sore, and my shoulders have always been sore. ”
"You'll find out when you go back and look in the mirror."
Not to mention that I didn't feel anything, but as soon as I said this, I felt like something was pressing on my shoulders, a little heavy, and I hurriedly ran to the house, took off my clothes and put them in front of the mirror.
When I looked at it, I just felt the hairs all over my body stand up.
On my left shoulder and on my right shoulder, there was a gray palm print, as if someone had slapped me on the shoulder and bruised it.
Looking at the two palm prints that inexplicably appeared on my shoulder, I subconsciously thought of the palm prints that appeared on the windowsill before, and then wondered if the palm prints in the two places came from the same place.
I didn't feel anything when I didn't see the palm print on my shoulder, but when I came out of the house, I began to feel like I had two bricks hanging on my shoulder, and I felt unspeakably uncomfortable.
Back at the old mansion, Xu Buhuo was rearranging the magic circle on the ground of the courtyard.
"See?"
Xu Buhuo asked me very calmly, although he hadn't looked at my shoulder, he obviously knew that there were two palm prints on his shoulder.
"Why is this happening?"
Xu Buhuo stopped what he was doing and said: "Now it's the soul shoulder, if the sacrificial ceremony is completely completed, you will become a ghost shoulder, at that time, you will become like a puppet, at the mercy of others, but now because you found out and interrupted in advance, it will not have any impact except for the fact that your shoulders are a little heavy." ”
My mother came in from outside and asked the village chief what was going on, and I said that he had been sacrificed, but I didn't know who it was, and I didn't mention that it had anything to do with me.
After telling me to be careful, my mother continued to work, I wanted to help Xu Buhuo, he told me to get out of the way and cool off, I simply went into my grandmother's reading hall to look at the collection of books she left.
Things have developed to this point, people are hard to distinguish between good and bad, and I know that I can't be like before, what others say is what it is, I have to understand this knowledge as soon as possible.
Only by understanding some facts can we not be confused about who is good and who is bad.
Combined with what happened before, I feel that Xu Buhuo is fine, but I am worried that everything he shows is a disguise.
As for Uncle Qin, although I haven't seen him do those things with my own eyes, I still have doubts about him.
He and his grandmother were the ones in the village before they knew this, and if he hadn't admitted it himself, I wouldn't have known that he would have done this, and no one in the village seems to know that he knows those things like his grandmother.
It's not a simple person to be able to hide so deeply.
In order to force me, I found an embroidery needle and pricked my fingers as long as I was sleepy.
I stayed up until the evening, and I couldn't bear it before I went to sleep. When I went to sleep in the new house, I was possessed by a ghost, so I had to lie on my grandmother's bed.
I slept until nearly twelve o'clock, when my mother woke me up, ate something in a daze, washed my face, and then woke up.
Looking at the time, I lit the soul lamp.
Xu Buhuo took out another dead man's incense from the cloth bag and lit it in the same way, I subconsciously thought of Uncle Qin's explanation of the dead man's incense, saying that it could summon grandma's dead soul, so I asked: "What is the use of this incense, why only light one at a time?" ”
"Of course it plays an important role, you kid don't have the idea of this incense."
Xu Buhuo's eyes were very calm when he looked at me, and I couldn't help but panic when I saw it, feeling that he seemed to have seen through my thoughts.
Staring at the slow-burning incense of the dead on the lid of the coffin, I gave up the idea of extinguishing it.
I didn't suspect that Uncle Qin had a problem before, I really wanted to extinguish this incense, but now, after discovering that Uncle Qin was also in danger, I questioned what he explained.
I don't know if Mrs. Wang will come tonight, in order to master the knowledge as soon as possible, I moved out my grandmother's collection of books and continued to read, and when I encountered something I didn't understand, I was cheeky to ask Xu Buhuo.
At four o'clock in the morning, I was sleepy and leaned against the corner of the wall to nap. Xu Buhuo also seemed sleepy, sitting at the door and napping.
In a daze, I felt that the light in the room seemed to change, and when I opened my eyes, the light of the soul lamp had already turned green, and the wooden chair at the door of the mourning hall was empty.
Xu Buhuo is gone.
I woke up suddenly and rushed to the door, the courtyard was quiet, and Xu Buhuo was not there.
Looking at the somewhat seeping lights of the soul lamp, I forcibly resisted the idea of leaving the mourning hall.
There was a spell on the threshold, which was obviously something that grandma had arranged a long time ago, and as long as he stayed in the mourning hall, he would be absolutely safe.
Looking at the empty wooden chairs, I don't know where Xu Buhuo went in the middle of the night.
After waiting for a while, I saw that the light of the soul lamp still did not change color, and the uneasiness in my heart became even stronger.
Bang dang.
The small courtyard door was suddenly blown together by the cold wind, and the biting cold wind on the face made me subconsciously nervous and felt like something was going to happen.
The collection of books says that the yin thing is dispatched, and the temperature plummets.
The lights are still green, indicating that there is something else around.
Is Jiang Yan around here?
The figure of the woman in red had just flashed in my mind, and where Jiang Yan's birthmark appeared on the right side of my face, there was a sudden heart-piercing pain, which made my whole body tremble.
Bang dang.
The door of the small courtyard opened again, and when I looked up, my whole body couldn't help but tremble.
