Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Breath of Death
Finally managed to survive until dawn, and the two hurriedly walked out of the hotel.
When Zhao Wan'er drove to Li Bing's residence with Li Bing, Li Bing's mobile phone rang. The call came from his classmate, who told Li Bing about an unfortunate thing.
It turned out that yesterday Li Bing's classmates went to the laboratory building to look for Professor Zhang, but saw the door of the laboratory open, but they didn't know where Professor Zhang had gone. Li Bing waited for Professor Zhang to be absent for a long time, and when he called Professor Zhang's phone, it was always a blind tone, so he had no choice but to go to class first, and then look for Professor Zhang at dinner, only to see that the door of the laboratory was still wide open, and he still did not see the professor, and the phone still could not be reached.
Li Bingna felt that something was wrong, so he called several of Professor Zhang's acquaintances, but there was still no whereabouts of Professor Zhang.
Since Professor Zhang's family was in Anhui, Li Bingna had no choice but to call a few classmates to look for Professor Zhang, and after all the investigations were fruitless, everyone returned to Professor Zhang's laboratory.
Several classmates thought it was strange, and everyone guessed all kinds of possible scenarios together. According to Professor Zhang's cautious habits in his life, it is impossible for him to forget to close the door and go somewhere else, and it is very likely that he is still in this building. Li Bing's classmate suddenly thought that Professor Zhang had a heart attack, and suddenly became nervous, could Professor Zhang have had a problem?
All the students began to search for Professor Zhang's whereabouts in the building, but to no avail. In the end, everyone's eyes were on the women's restroom, which was ignored by everyone.
A few classmates walked into the women's bathroom and saw that everything was normal. When one of the classmates opened a small door in the bathroom, he let out an exclamation and sat down on the ground. When everyone heard the news, they went up to take a look, and saw that in that small room, Professor Zhang was leaning on the flush toilet, his glasses were hanging on the bridge of his nose and almost falling off, but his eyes were wide open, his expression was distorted, and he was motionless, which was quite frightening.
After the Gulou Public Security Bureau received the report, the criminal police and forensic doctors arrived at the scene after a while. After taking photographs at the scene, the medical examiner carefully examined Professor Zhang's body and confirmed that there were no external injuries, and that he had been dead for 20 hours and had died of a heart attack.
After carefully investigating the scene and ruling out the possibility of homicide, the criminal police did not understand why Professor Zhang died in the women's bathroom.
Could it be that Professor Zhang has some kind of psychopathic factor? This is the last thing that Professor Zhang's students and colleagues want to think about, and it will ruin Professor Zhang's reputation throughout his life. According to campus surveillance data, no one else entered or exited the building that night. Therefore, this possibility can also be ruled out.
On the night of Professor Zhang's death, a student passing in front of the building provided information that the lights in the building might have tripped and gone out for a while last night. So, everyone speculated that it may be due to a problem with the circuit, Professor Zhang happened to be in a hurry, and touched the women's bathroom in the dark, and it happened that at that time, he had a heart attack, which directly led to Professor Zhang's death.
After hanging up the phone, Li Bingleng looked at Zhao Wan'er, both of them wondering that since Professor Zhang died of a heart attack, whether the ghost of Professor Zhang that the two of them saw last night was real, or because the two of them were too nervous in the past few days.
"Bronze Mirror!" Li Bing shouted in a low voice: "Come into my room, Wang Jie also said yesterday that she would give me the bronze mirror, if I have this weird and terrible bronze mirror in my room, then all this is true, if not, it is an illusion."
Zhao Wan'er held Li Bing's hand with some fear, and the two approached Li Bing's room step by step. When he arrived at the door, Li Bing took out the key and hesitated for a long time before opening the door.
The scene that shocked and frightened them appeared in front of them, the bronze mirror with the breath of death was placed upright on Li Bing's small desk, which was particularly eye-catching in this rather narrow space.
After staying for a long time, Li Bing came to his senses, and hurriedly went downstairs to find the landlord, and after the landlord told him that no one had come to look for him last night, Li Bing completely understood that death had descended on him.
Back in the room, Zhao Wan'er saw Li Bing's nervous expression and comforted Li Bing: "Brother Li, don't worry. Although the bronze mirror was full of evil spirits, it was already daylight, and it was expected that it would not be anything strange. We should contact that Zhang Yuanshan immediately and ask him to come and discuss countermeasures. ”
After being reminded by Zhao Wan'er, Li Bing woke up like a dream, and quickly begged Zhao Wan'er to dial Shi Liya's phone and asked her to come to Li Bing's residence with Zhang Yuanshan as soon as possible.
When Shi Liya arrived half an hour later with Zhang Yuanshan, there were already four or five cigarette butts scattered in front of Li Bing.
After listening to Li Bing's anxious narration, Zhang Yuanshan stared at the bronze mirror.
After a long time, under the silent gaze of everyone, Zhang Yuanshan took out a piece of talisman paper, pasted it on the mirror, turned his head to Li Bing and said, "Li Bing, what your teacher said is right, this bronze mirror is indeed a burial thing." It itself has an evil aura, it may really be the soul of the palace maid Ruizhu who is hiding inside, and the evil qi is constantly soaring, and with my Taoism, it can no longer be dissolved. This talisman can only be blocked for three hours. And this bronze mirror cannot be destroyed, if it is destroyed, then the soul and evil spirit become one, then not only the person who touches this bronze mirror will die, but also the person who has seen this bronze mirror will not escape this catastrophe, even I am no exception. ”
Li Bing, Zhao Wan'er and Shi Liya were shocked at the same time, and asked almost at the same time, "Then what should I do?" ”
Zhang Yuanshan sighed and said: "I can't think about it, but I heard my master once say that Buddhism and Taoism are one, and all evils will not invade." Maybe you can find a monk to try and work with me to suppress this evil spirit. ”
Zhao Wan'er asked Li Bing eagerly: "Brother Li, the night before yesterday, when we were in the meditation room, didn't Master Kongming promise to go to the ancient mansion of the Wang family to have a look and chant Buddha to eliminate disasters?" Calculate the time, it happens to be the agreed day. Just now, Xiao Zhang Tianshi said that it is possible to eliminate this disaster if the Buddha and the Tao are united, why don't we ask Zen Master Kongming to try? ”
Li Bing nodded: "Wan'er, it wasn't for you to remind me, I almost forgot about it." Without further ado, we took this bronze mirror and went to Qixia Ancient Temple together. ”
On the way to Qixia Ancient Temple, Li Bing remembered the strange expression that Zhang Yuanshan stared at him when he first saw him last night, and turned his head from the passenger seat and asked, "Brother Zhang, can I ask?" We first met yesterday, why did you look at me so strangely? ”
Zhang Yuanshan smiled: "Little brother, I also feel strange. It stands to reason that you have encountered many strange things one after another, haunted by ghosts, and should be blackened and your eyes darkened. But when I saw you, I thought you were full of imprints and your eyes were bright, so I thought it was strange. May I ask the little brother, are there any other adventures during this time? ”
Li Bing felt so strange and muttered to himself: "There are many adventures, but they have all been told to you, and they are not all good." ”
Zhao Wan'er interjected while driving: "Brother Li, could it have something to do with the Buddha light we had in the Qixia Thousand Buddha Rock?" ”
"Buddha light?" Zhang Yuanshan's eyes widened, and after he heard Zhao Wan'er finish speaking, he laughed: "Little brother, it seems that you are extraordinary and can have such an adventure." Since the little brother has the Buddha's light to protect his body, his natural spirit will not be hurt by ghosts. In this way, the little brother may have a great future, but I am confident, as long as I join forces with Zen Master Kongming, the ghost in the mirror will not hurt the little brother. ”
When everyone heard Zhang Yuanshan say this, they were a little comfortable, and they couldn't wait to reach Qixia Ancient Temple immediately to find Zen Master Kongming.
When the group of four people arrived at Qixia Ancient Temple, the monks in the temple had already finished their morning class. The four of them came to the meditation room of Zen Master Kongming, and Li Bing carefully placed the bronze mirror covered with cloth on the floor of the meditation room.
After seeing the salute, Zen Master Kongming asked Li Bing strangely what was on the ground. When Li Bing told Zen Master Kong Ming that it was the bronze mirror that brought them nightmares and misfortunes, a trace of surprise flashed on Zen Master Space's face, and he put his hands together and chanted the Buddha's name.
"Did you hear anything?" Zhao Wan'er asked suddenly.
Everyone listened carefully, and in addition to the sound of the Buddha horn of Zen Master Kongming, there was indeed a sound like broken glass and a painful and miserable cry that seemed to be a woman.
Zhang Yuanshan suddenly said: "It's the voice in the bronze mirror!" ”
Everyone was shocked, and their eyes all turned to the bronze mirror placed on the ground, and after listening carefully, they unanimously believed that the voice was coming from the bronze mirror.
Zhang Yuanshan lifted the yellow cloth covered, but found that the mirror surface was intact, still flat, and there was nothing unusual.
