Chapter 8: Behind the Scenes
His words made my heart move.
"I don't want your money." I said to him. "But can you help me investigate something?"
"What's the matter?" Qi Mingfei was obviously a little surprised.
"Do you know what happened the night before yesterday?" I gestured to the room in the distance.
"I heard." Qi Mingfei replied. "But ......"
"I've been asked to investigate this matter, but now there are no clues." I told him. "Why has that house been empty for five years, what happened in that room, and if possible, I would like to ask you to investigate the information on the unnatural deaths of female students at Far Mountain University over the years."
Qi Mingfei was stunned for a moment, and then smiled.
"So, you're a ......"
"I'm a yin-yang magician." I nodded. It's a bit of an exaggeration to say that now, but I'm already a beginner after all, aren't I?
"It's really ......," Qi Mingfei shook his head. I don't know what to say. ”
"I can only say that the world is not exactly what you think, and you can disagree with me, but if you are willing to help me with these investigations, then I will give you the opportunity to pick out some rare Taoist scriptures for research."
"I need to think about it." Qi Mingfei said.
"I can understand that." I nodded. "Also, have you encountered anything unusual in the last few days?"
"Me?" Qi Mingfei was stunned for a moment.
"The first time I saw you, there was a faint ghost aura about you. Don't laugh, I'm not fooling you. The ghost aura on your body is very faint, and now it is almost impossible to see, which means that you may have encountered those things a few days ago, but it is not aimed at you, so it has no effect on you. ”
Qi Mingfei shook his head: "If you want to say that, you have to let me think about it." By the way, how would it feel to come across 'those things'? ”
"Suddenly feel cold, dizzy, palpitation, and then quickly get better, some people will suddenly feel sore, or inexplicably feel windy in a place where there is no wind, hear abnormal sounds, see some abnormal shadows or people."
"I don't think so." The water was boiling, Qi Mingfei poured me a cup of tea, and then sat down with the cup. "But if you have to make me think about it, when I came back from the office the night before, I met a man in the woods on the side of the old No. 4 building, and he was panicking."
I perked up and hurriedly asked, "What time is it?" What kind of person is he? ”
"Twelve o'clock, huh? Probably a little worse. Qi Mingfei said uncertainly. I was about thirty or forty meters away from him at the time, and it was impossible to see him clearly, but it was probably a man, I can confirm that. ”
I immediately stood up: "Can you take me to see it now?" ”
"Now?" Qi Mingfei asked in surprise, but he didn't say anything, put down the cup in his hand and stood up.
It was an artificially planted horticultural tree, probably plum blossoms or something, in bloom.
Qi Mingfei walked back and forth twice, and finally pointed out a range to me uncertainly.
In the winter woods, the grass is withered, and I found four shallow circular holes in the mud, and on the grass next to it, there are some barely visible incense ash and paper ash.
"This is the place." I said to Qi Mingfei.
He looked back in the direction we came and said, "Probably, right?" What left this? ”
"A small table, or a chair." I told him. "Someone has set up an altar here."
I was thrilled by this discovery, and the feeling was even stronger than the first time I experienced it.
There are still some footprints nearby, the place is very secluded and there is little chance that someone will come here.
Slightly bigger than my feet, should be forty-two yards, I stood next to it and tried it, and the footprints were deeper than the ones I had left.
This should be a man who is taller than me and fatter than me.
Standing here, you can look up and see the sealed room.
"You mean to say that someone set up an altar here, and then the girls on it had an accident?" Qi Mingfei asked with a frown.
"Yes."
"It's kind of nonsense." He immediately shook his head and said.
"Didn't you study witchcraft in the Southwest? Then you should know that the head lowering techniques and Gu techniques in Southeast Asia were all passed down from this side and then developed on their own. These things have been passed down for thousands of years, and they have not completely died out until today, when science is prosperous, so it must have a reason for its existence, isn't that so? ”
Qi Mingfei was still shaking his head. "Why didn't someone move a stool here and sit and rest?"
"Do you think it's possible?" I asked rhetorically.
This is a distance from any teaching building and classroom, and the only thing that is possible to come here is the old house where the people of the old No. 4 teaching building and Qi Mingfei live. But the old No. 4 school building has been sealed for five years, and if the people in their old house want to bask in the sun, their own yard or the grass outside will do, and there is no need to run so far into the somewhat gloomy woods.
"I don't want you to take my word for it, I just want you to help me find the truth." I said to him. "Maybe you're right, maybe I have my point, as a scholar who studies these things, don't you want to take this opportunity to figure these things out?"
"Okay." Qi Mingfei finally nodded. "What are you looking for?" He pulled out his phone and pulled up the memo.
Qi Mingfei left in a hurry, and I stood there excitedly and called Lu Xiaoling.
"How's they doing?"
Lu Xiaoling's voice sounded very uneasy: "Both of them are awake, but their spirits are very poor, and their memory has become very bad, and they can't even remember how they fainted!" ”
"Don't worry, I've found something here!" I suppressed my excitement and said to her.
She quickly rushed back.
"I climbed down here that day and walked out along that side." She soon found the traces she had left behind, and the moss and dirt were clearly visible. "Just a dozen meters from here?"
"He must have been gone by then." I comforted her.
"What do you think?" Lu Xiaoling's eyes were blazing. "This ghost hasn't been here all along, someone raised it and used it to seduce the souls of Li Li and Liu Xiao?"
I nodded.
"Why the two of them?" Lu Xiaoling circled in place. "Isn't that what the ghost said completely unbelievable?"
"What it says may be false, it may be true, but even if it is false, what is the purpose of what is it saying?"
"Then we have to look it up." Lu Xiaoling nodded. "No wonder I can't find or recruit souls, their souls must be imprisoned!"
"What is he doing this for?" She turned her head to me.
"I don't know." I shook my head.
"There must be something about it in my uncle's books!" Lu Xiaoling said to me excitedly. "Quick! Let's check it out! ”
"But his will ......"
"He said he couldn't give me access to the Zhouyi Research Society and Zhouyi Research Things, but these books were? Not at all! Lu Xiaoling grabbed my hand and said loudly. I don't want your stuff, can't I just look at it? ”
The warm touch made me stunned for a moment, and my face suddenly became hot.
Lu Xiaoling was stunned for a moment, her face was a little embarrassed, and then she laughed.
"I can't see it, Sun Yang, you are so shy! You can't be in love, right? ”
"It's none of your business!" Her ridicule made me a little embarrassed.
"You cultivate hard, and when you have achieved something, the sisters in my dormitory, you like that, I will definitely help you get it!" Lu Xiaoling patted me on the shoulder very angrily and said to me.
