Chapter 7 Qi Mingfei

"I said in the first class that I was a materialist, and now you ask me such a question?" Everyone laughed, but he continued. "Most of the witchcraft reflects people's reverence for nature and ancestors, and when we study these things, we are actually studying the evolution of the human history of the Southwest. The vast majority of so-called 'witchcraft' and 'tricks' appear in the context of extremely low productivity and extremely simple cognition of nature, reflecting people's fear of unsolvable affairs. You ask me this question, is it because you are interested in '****'? ”

The girl laughed embarrassedly.

"Ancient people had no way to change the environment in which they lived, and they could only pin their health, safety, and yearning for life on religion and witchcraft, and as modern people, it is better not to believe in these things too much."

In the midst of everyone's uproar, the girl ran away with a blushing face, and I quietly walked out the back door, waiting to see where he would go next.

A university professor who doesn't believe in religion and witchcraft, but privately studies Taoist texts for the sake of criticism? Or is it because he simply says one thing and does another?

I suddenly felt more suspicious about him.

"Sun Yang? Where are you? Lu Xiaoling suddenly called.

"In your ......," I looked for the sign. The lecture hall in Zhiyuan Building is here. ”

"Don't follow, come to the student union, I'll wait for you in the archives on the second floor."

I felt a little strange, and I asked people all the way to find the student union, and Lu Xiaoling stood at the door waiting for me.

"What's wrong?"

"Teacher Qi was only transferred from Yuanshan Normal University last year, so it can't be him."

"Why?"

"I checked the records of the student union last year, and there were only two students who died unnaturally, one died suddenly during military training, and the other committed suicide because of emotional problems, both of them were boys." Lu Xiaoling said. "Before he was transferred, the girls in our school would never die because of him as a teacher from another school, right?"

Yuanshan Normal is in the other direction of Yuanshan City, at least ten kilometers away from here, it is not impossible to insist on pulling Qi Mingfei into this matter, but it is indeed very far-fetched.

"And what did you find?"

"This is a list of girls who have died in accidents or by suicide over the years, but the information of the student union is only up to 85 years, and there is no record before." Lu Xiaoling said with some worry.

There are about a dozen people's names on it.

"I want to go to the student examination, but I can't find a reason and I can't get in."

"Who has the right to look into this?"

"Teacher, counselor or something, right?"

"What then?"

Suddenly, there was a feeling that the dog had nowhere to bite Wang Ba.

"I'll go see Li Li at noon." Lu Xiaoling said worriedly.

She wouldn't let me accompany her to the hospital anymore, so I wandered around the campus of Far Son University.

This is a prestigious school with a long history, and it is also the only prestigious school in the province that can get its hands on it.

Enzan University is known for its emphasis on inheritance, and many of its old buildings have been preserved in the renovations and expansions over the years, and many of them have been treated as cultural relics.

The oldest building is the clock tower when the school was founded in 1923, and after many renovations, it still retains the function of telling the time, while the old No. 4 teaching building was built in 1952.

The building was designed by the Department of Architecture of Enzan University and built over a period of two years, and was once used as a teaching building for many faculties such as foreign languages, finance, business administration, and trade, and was repaired in 1984 after a fire in 1981, and has been used as a teaching building for the Department of Foreign Languages ever since. The new building of the Department of Foreign Languages was completed five years ago and the building was vacant.

Why is it useless to be empty for five years?

I can't see it in the introduction.

The front and rear doors of the house were fenced up, and I saw a staff member installing surveillance cameras at the front door.

It seems that after the accident, the school decided to increase its management.

I have read some books on feng shui more or less in the past few months, I didn't read them carefully the night before, but I went around carefully during the day, and this house does not have too serious problems except for the nondescript style. There's nothing wrong with its location on the campus.

I don't understand at all.

Why did the university leave this three-story house with an area of nearly 2,000 square meters empty?

"Hey!" Suddenly, someone was next to me and said.

I turned my head and was surprised to find that it was Qi Mingfei.

"Hello." Qi Mingfei smiled at me. "You won't be looking for me, I guess? If there are new books, I can only ask you to save them until next month. ”

"Professor Qi." I hurriedly shook his hand, and his suspicion was cleared, but my interest in him continued unabated. "I'll come over to find a friend."

"Found it?" Qi Mingfei asked.

"She's out, I'll walk around and wait for her."

Qi Mingfei smiled and said, "Do you want to find a place to sit?" My dorm room is over there. ”

"Dorms?" I was a little surprised, he, such a young associate professor, actually lived in the school?

"It's a little quieter to live in the school." Qi Mingfei said.

I just wanted to ask him about the ghost, so I nodded and followed him.

His house is in a rather secluded corner of the campus, and if someone hadn't led the way, I'm sure few people would have walked over.

A detached courtyard with a small courtyard.

To my surprise, standing in his yard near the sink on the left, I could see the room where the accident occurred.

"You seem to be particularly interested in that room?" Qi Mingfei opened the main room that was the living room and beckoned me to sit down, his eyes full of curiosity.

"Do you know what's going on there?" I asked rhetorically.

"I've heard of some." Qi Mingfei shook his head. "It's nothing more than some legendary stories between students, and every school has similar ghost stories, and sometimes the ghost stories of two schools are almost exactly the same except for the specific location where they take place. Once you understand this, you won't have any interest in them anymore. ”

"But you're interested in Taoist things?"

Qi Mingfei laughed.

"My recent research topic is the integration and conflict between the Taoist culture of the Central Plains and the witchcraft culture of the Southwest." He explained. "The insights in your two sets of books are very interesting."

I noticed that his research direction was always related to the culture of witchcraft.

"Haven't asked yet?"

"Oh~ My name is Sun Yang." I hurriedly introduced myself.

"You should have copied those two sets of books, right?" Qi Mingfei said.

I didn't deny it.

"Even for a college teacher like me, who has no other burden, the value of your books is too high." Qi Mingfei said. "Can you discuss and let me borrow some of your originals? The price is negotiable. ”

He smiled a little embarrassedly: "You can also see that I have a fixed occupation, and I won't run away with your book." ”
