Chapter 50. A real hole
I said to Situ, this shouldn't be, if the hole is still there, how come we have never found it after so many visits? Situ said that because the house was built high, most of the angles that could be seen had been blocked. But if you're going to look for this cave, I'll know that you can definitely see it from an angle. Situ said that if you stand directly below Hongya Cave and walk in the direction of Huguang Guild Hall, you will definitely be able to see it on that viaduct. I said to Hu Zongren, then let's go to this place tomorrow.
Hu Zongren also nodded, and Situ continued, but before you go, you have to think about it first, that hole can't be reached with your bare hands, and there is no way. If you want to enter that cave, it may be a bit risky, you can go and see it first, and then think of another way. Situ stretched out a finger and said very firmly, but one thing I can be sure of is that in this cave, people from the Xuanyuan Society have entered it. And that's what happened recently. What do I say for him, Situ said that Hu Zongren and Xing Yazi's predecessors have long been out of contact with the Xuanyuan Society, and recently they have officially become enemies, but it is because Hu Zongren swept the master's face in front of other disciples, which is to set himself on fire. So if the other party did something in the cave, or left Hu Zongren a clue, it would definitely be after that.
Situ said to Hu Zongren, you are in your thirties, how much trouble your stinky temper has caused you over the years, why don't you know how to change it. Hu Zongren smiled and scratched his head helplessly. Situ said, what is in this coffin, you should have discovered, the doll is mutilated, this is a key information. Just imagine, when you take the ghost away, whether it's in a bag or a jar, at the very least, the container should be intact, right? I nodded yes. Situ said that this doll is missing some parts, in other words, its container itself is incomplete, which dooms the ghosts here to either be incomplete or ready to break out of the shell at any time. Don't think that this talisman can really seal the ghost without leaking, since people have found such a container, it will definitely not be without reason. If my guess is correct, if you enter the cave of Hongya Cave, you should be able to find a missing part of this doll, and put this doll together completely, and you will be considered to have passed this test.
Hu Zongren asked Situ, what if we can't find it, because the other party designed such a bureau for me, the original intention was not to ask me to break it, but to hope that I couldn't break it. Situ shook his head and said, he can't figure this out for the time being, since he wants to rectify the person, he will die for something, and he has to deliberately leave some clues, could it be that there is really some master who is secretly testing you? Situ also said, and you have to pay attention, the gossip of heaven and earth corresponds to the direction and astrology, the astrology changes every day, and then it will have an impact, although I can't see how much time you have left in this pass, but you have to remember, the sooner the better, and even if you find the things in the cave, you may not be able to piece together this doll completely, that is to say, a level on this kun position, you will pass, there are new problems waiting for you behind.
Although Situ said these last few words as a result that Hu Zongren and I had long expected, but when he said it in front of everyone, the two of us couldn't help but feel nervous, at least for myself.
Situ went on to say that the rock of Hutou Rock itself appeared very late, and if you want to say where this "rock" is, it should be the boulder on the top of the Hutou Rock Tunnel now. But I don't know what this place has to do with our fine learning, and if I had to pull one out, it would be the hospital on the top of the mountain.
I slapped my thigh and excitedly said, yes, why didn't I think of that? On the slope of Hutou Rock, there is a large military hospital in Chongqing, but wherever there is a hospital, it is inevitable that people will die every day, and after the death, there will definitely be a soul, although not every person who dies will become a ghost, but the probability of the hospital is much greater than anywhere. Situ told me that this was the only place he could barely get in touch with at the moment, but he was not sure yet, and the gate of Dongshuimen and the city of Jiangbei City, he needed to do some understanding in private before he could make inferences.
Situ said, in short, now you have to hurry up and figure out Hongya Cave first, and buy yourself more time first, so that you can be fully prepared later, and I will try my best to help you. I'm old now, and my leg is broken again, so we can't just follow you to help you, so let's ask you for news behind you. Hu Zongren stood up, saluted Situ, and then said, I am already grateful for your old man's willingness to help this time, how can I trouble you to run around with us personally? Situ glared at Hu Zongren and said, your kind words will be saved to me here, since we are through trouble together, then don't make such a fuss, no matter who has something in the future, we will inform each other as soon as possible. After speaking, Situ pointed to Master Tie Songzi and said, If this old guy and I burp in the future, we are all childless and daughterless, and we are still counting on you children to send us to the end.
Situ asked Hu Zongren to walk to him, and then he pulled up Hu Zongren's T-shirt and carefully looked at the Baji seal on his back. I only remember that when Master Situ picked up Hu Zongren's clothes, Master Tie Songzi let out an "oh~" exclamation, it seems that he likes Hu Zongren's type of tight muscles on his back, so I couldn't help but glance at Master Situ again, and before a fragrant picture appeared in my mind, I quickly strangled it in the cradle.
Situ said, whether the line between Gen and Kun will be connected depends on the results of your exploration of Hongya Cave tomorrow. He put down Hu Zongren's clothes and said to us, when you go tomorrow, remember to bring the charm that Master Tie Songzi gave you, in case something happens, you can block some of them.
For the rest of the day, we began to enjoy this wonderful meal. During the banquet, there was a heated discussion between Master Tie Songzi and Fu Yunni about the religious ornaments they wore on their hands, and Master Tie Songzi took Fu Yunni's hand, like an old mother and asked for warmth, so soon the two of them became best friends. Hu Zongren and Situ and I often chatted without a word, and Hu Zongren ate heavily, but his face was full of anxiety. I understood his thoughts, because he had now begun to treat every meal as if it were the last meal. Situ said that he hadn't seen the two of us for a long time, and this time he came to treat him. Naturally, we are not polite to him, you must know that among all the people here, Situ is the richest one.
After the meal, I asked Hu Zongren to put the urn back in the car first, Master Tie Songzi was still holding Fu Yunni's arm and chatting endlessly, and I helped Situ down the stairs, on the way I asked him, when you opened the coffin lid, what did you mean by that flashing expression? Situ smiled and said to me, it's a pity that you don't want to be a thief because your eyes are so sharp. I said don't talk nonsense with me, tell me what you thought was like this. Situ stood still, then looked at me and sighed and said, Hu Zongren's trouble this time is far more serious than he expected, do you know what that doll is in the coffin? This shows that people will die, and if Hu Zongren doesn't handle it well, he may be the one who dies.
I said indignantly to Situ, why are those people who claim to be old-timers one by one, but they are all so narrow-minded, a few words of verbal disputes, they will kill others. Because I know very well that if a metaphysical person uses a trick to damage the law, according to common sense, there is no way to ask the law to give a judgment, if Hu Zongren can't overcome this hurdle this time, he will only set off a revenge if he dies, and no one can uphold justice.
Situ said that this is the reason why not everyone can walk the yin and yang road. In our eyes, those guys who make bad tricks are scum, but don't forget, in their eyes, it's the same. I stopped talking, thinking to myself that this was indeed what Situ said. Situ went on to say, when you go to Hongya Cave tomorrow, quietly pay attention to any people nearby who look more attention-grabbing and are secretly watching you. If someone is really secretly watching you, it is also a good idea to catch and ask after you have finished your business.
Among the few of us, I am undoubtedly the least courageous, and I am not even as bold as Fu Yunni. In many cases, I just go up hard, which is related to my traditional personality, I have always believed in smearing oil on the soles of my feet when I encounter danger, but I have been with Situ and Hu Zongren for a long time, and I also admire their momentum and courage, especially Situ who is old and strong. Of course, arresting people for torture is not something to be praised for.
After sending Situ and Tie Songzi home, I sent Fu Yunni and Hu Zongren back. By the time I got home, it was already late, and I simply told Sister Cai that what happened to me that day was as terrible as possible, and she was much more relieved to see that I didn't seem to have anything to do.
The next day, I made an appointment with Hu Zongren and Fu Yunni, and the three of them went to explore the rumored "hole". We first drove to Chaotianmen, and then slowly drove along Binjiang Road in the opposite direction towards Hongyadong, because of the slow driving, I encountered the contempt of many overtaking drivers. When we drove the car slowly to the viaduct, along the direction of my position at 10 o'clock, it was Hongya Cave, at this time, Fu Yunni shouted to me, you stop the car, I seem to see a big gap in the cliff. So I turned on the car, pulled over, and took the telescope we bought at Chaotianmen for up to 20 yuan from Fu Yunni and looked at it. On the cliff face, less than 20 meters away from the house, and some vines hung down to cover it, there was indeed a hole.
I think that's the real "Hongya Cave".
