When Xiang Feng and I cast a spell and spied on the image in Xiao Jiu's eyes, I once introduced the well water. Well water is a neutral water, neither yin nor yang. Normally, Master uses this water to make talismans. Right now, the power of resentment attached to the photo in the frame was suppressed by the yang energy of the day. Immerse the frame in the well water, and this force will 'resurrect'...

"What's wrong?" Master asked.

"Huh?" I came back to my senses and said, "No..."

"Originally, I should have gone down." Master said, "But I'm not suitable, you were born in the yin, and the five elements of the eight-character year belong to water, which is more suitable, although the well water is very cold, and the master can't bear it..."

I hurriedly smiled and said, "It's okay Master, I'll go down." ”

Master smiled slightly and put his hand on my shoulder, "I'll go get the rope..."

Master took the rope from the trunk of the car, and I looked around like a thief, quickly took off my clothes and only left a pair of underwear, jumped a few times, raised my arms like 'King Kong' and puffed out my biceps, and then shook my neck a few times.

"Leng'er, what are you doing?" Master asked.

I smiled, "Active, hot." ”

Master nodded a little weepingly, and then he took off his coat and wrapped it around my waist and tied the rope tightly. I took the picture frame, carefully grabbed the wall of the well, leaned down, and as the master lowered the rope, I fell into the well little by little...

The well was extremely quiet, I could hear my own heartbeat, plopping, as for my breathing, it sounded very heavy, as if there were many people surrounding me, breathing with the rhythm of my breathing... The moldy moss on the wall of the well is slippery and dirty, not to mention touching it, just looking at it with your eyes, there is a feeling of tight pores and itching all over your body.

Looking down, there is a pool of water, and there are debris floating on the surface of the water. It didn't seem to be that far away, but it took me a while before I came to the surface. The moment my feet touched the water, I felt a cold 'oops' and shrank in a hurry.

"What's wrong?" Master asked above.

"The water is so cold, it's fine...", my voice sounded 'humming'.

Picking at the brick crack in the wall of the well with the hand that was not holding the frame, I held my breath, gritted my teeth, and leaned down little by little. The water flooded over my calves and then over my thighs, like a knife stabbing in my leg... With a twist on my heart, I sank to my waist all at once, and the coldness rushed upward, and I stiffened down like a cramp. I shuddered for a while before I could barely adjust to the temperature of the water and let out a long breath.

I don't know how deep the water is, and it's dark below, and people are in it, and there is a feeling of fluttering and uneasiness. I handed the picture frame to my right hand, and as Master said, I pinched the picture frame with my two index fingers and put it up, and when I plunged it into the water, I felt a tremendous force, and I couldn't help but be startled and almost didn't hold it.

"Master."

"What's wrong?"

"It's so powerful."

"You put the picture in the water little by little, don't worry..."

I settled down, and as Master said, I put the frame into the water little by little, and as soon as the water was immersed in an inch or two, I felt a strong resistance. It was as if I wasn't holding a picture frame at all, but a large hydrogen balloon that was being pressed hard into the water. The further I pressed, the greater the resistance, and when I pressed it all down, my arm soon felt like I couldn't bear it...

I lowered my head and looked under the water with my eyes, and saw a faint white thing in the water... What is this? Why did this frame become like this? … I lowered my head again, and when I looked at it again, my soul almost flew away... What I saw was not a picture frame at all, but a woman in white... My two fingers were poking at the woman's forehead, and she looked at me with her neck tilted and stared at me with two eyes as if she wanted to jump out of the water...

As soon as I raised my hand, the woman suddenly disappeared, and the frame came off her hand and bounced out of the water. I kicked the wall of the well, jumped up, reached up with all my might, grabbed the picture frame in my hand, and then my body crashed into the wall of the well out of control, almost knocking me unconscious...

When Master pulled me up, I lay down like a shelf for a while before I got up. I told Master what happened to me in the well. As for the woman, Master said that it was due to the resentment that I saw, an illusion in the water.

"How big is that?" Master asked.

"Probably—" I scratched my head, not knowing how to describe it.

"Forget it..."

Master handed me a token, then drew a nine-square grid on the ground, pointed to a place, and said to me, "Leng'er, you stand here, hold this token hard, eliminate distracting thoughts, and think in your heart about the feeling when you pressed the picture frame into the water under the well, and when I say lose it, you throw this token into the nine-square grid..."

"Hmm..."

I did as I was told, and after a while, I felt as if what I was holding in my hand was not a token at all, but a picture frame. ”

I threw the token, and the token first fell into the seventh palace, and with a flick, it jumped to the third palace...

"The power of ten," said Master.

"Ten... Master, although that power is great enough, how can I hold it down if I have the power of ten people? ”

"Nope." Master said, "The power of the ten people means that it takes the yang energy of the ten people to restrain the resentment in this photo. ”

"That..."

"Cast a spell at night, after bringing up this grievance, I have to use the yang energy of ten people to restrain it, so that it will not disperse, only if it does not disperse, I can cast a spell to turn it into an image or consciousness, so as to know what Xiao Nan was thinking when he died..."

"It's difficult, Master, where are we going to gather these ten people at once? Even if we do, it's a question of whether they'll help us cast spells. Even if they are willing to assist us, they can cast spells in that Xiao Nan's house, so many people, and the movement is so big, it will definitely attract a lot of onlookers..."

"So, it's up to you."

"Me?"

"Hmm," the master looked at his watch, "you're going to find a way to get eleven bags, ten small ones and one big one." Before sunset, whatever method you use, you have to find ten strong men, between twenty and forty years old, and make each of them take a deep breath towards the east, and then exhale into ten small bags, remember? ”

I snapped my fingers, nodded, and said, "Well, Master, it's okay to find eight, and with the addition of two of us, it's exactly ten." ”

"No, the two of us have to cast spells, and we can't use our yang energy."

"Oh, I see."

"Then you go, when the time comes, go back to the old house and wait for me, I'll go and prepare the things I need to cast the spell..."

There is a vegetable greenhouse in this village, and I tried to go to the village store to buy the kind of plastic sheeting used for the buckle shed, but I didn't expect to buy it. I doubled the money, asked the owner of the store to find helpers, cut and glued, made eleven bags, and then filled them with water to test the airtightness.

When I came out of the store, it was already more than three o'clock in the afternoon, and it was not long before sunset, and I couldn't help but worry, this village was the same as their village, and I didn't see any strong men, where to find ten? …

Suddenly, I remembered that on the way Master and I came before, we saw a lot of people catching fish in the canal, and there were many strong men among them, and I don't know if those people are gone now...

I drove as fast as I could, along the canal embankment, to the delight to find that the men were still there, but they were almost gone, and were gathering together to arrange their nets and fishing gear. When I counted the number of people, there were as many as 12 of them, all of whom were strong men.

Master's coat was wrung out and put in the car, and I hurriedly put it on myself, then twisted open a bottle of mineral water, poured it twice on my head, looked in the rearview mirror, and combed my hair into a back comb, in short, to try to make myself look as mature as possible.

Hurriedly picking up the bags and taking another pack of Chinese cigarettes from the car, I jumped out of the car and went down into the river. I gave each of those people a cigarette, and in a few sentences, I became familiar with them. I said that I was a graduate student from the city, and my supervisor assigned me a task to go to the countryside to collect the air exhaled by ten strong men in the countryside, in addition to testing the lung capacity, and to see how well their lungs purify the air (a bit outrageous, fortunately they don't understand)... These people immediately stood in awe of me, and they stared at me one by one.

Anyway, it's just inhaling and exhaling, and it's not too troublesome. I asked about the ages of these people, and one of them was forty-two, too old, and the other was thin and had a weak face, and I didn't use him. The other ten, at my direction, took a deep breath into the east, and then exhaled deeply into the bag...

When I returned to the village, the sun had already set, and the village was full of smoke, yellow and white lights peeked through the windows of every house, and from now to time a dog barked from somewhere.

When I came to Lao Bi's house, the master had not yet returned. I felt like I was falling apart, tired and hungry. Squatting in the courtyard, eating some of the things I brought, the moon gradually rose, round and large, under the moonlight, this courtyard was desolate and desolate, and there were many shadows.

Finally, the door was pushed open with a bang, and Master returned.

"Master!"

"Hmm..."

Master had a few pockets in his hands.

"This is..."

"Did you get the gas?"

"Hmm."

Master raised his eyes and looked at the moon, then at his watch, "Leng'er." ”

"What's wrong, Master?"

"Tonight, something quite incredible may happen, in short, you remember, everything, must be done exactly according to what I say, there can be no sloppiness..."
