Chapter 32: Hints on the Skylight
I quickly subconsciously looked at my shadow, and the light in the room was so bright that I couldn't see clearly. I thought about it for a moment, and then I thought it was outrageous.
If it is really like what Qin Yiheng said, since he is afraid of being found that someone has no shadow, then why bother to open the skylight on the roof of the house?
Moreover, how can man not have a shadow? There are many rumors that ghosts have no shadows, but since they have become ghosts, what are they doing with people?
I discussed it with Qin Yiheng and wanted him to speak more clearly, but he told me that I could only guess so much at present, and as for what was going on, we were not the parties involved, so we definitely wouldn't know.
However, he reasoned that the reason for this was probably the old man's intention, and the skylight on the roof might be some kind of restraint, and if the person who needed to hide the shadow was not good for the old man, it was also a guarantee.
And the reason why the person who brought us here was so concerned about the umbrella was probably deliberately arranged by the old man, probably saying some alarmist consequences, and doing so to confuse everyone so that his goal could be more easily achieved.
Hearing him say this, I also have a picture in my mind: a group of people with umbrellas in this house conspiring with the old man in the hat, a little bit like attending the funeral, anyway, the picture I imagined is very weird, this is not a fucking cult, right?
I lit another cigarette, took a few puffs and was quiet, and then I remembered to ask Qin Yiheng, he was so nervous to find the tooth mark before, what was it for, because what he just told me, although it was evil, it was not a big deal, and it would not be life-threatening.
When asked, he told me that he had seen the teeth on the umbrella before, and he didn't think about it in the direction of the teeth at first. Because in metaphysical arts, there is a kind of bureau called "biting the night". The origin of this "biting the night" is very large, and it is necessary to choose the teeth of those who are painful to death. Because people instinctively want to bite something when they are in pain, the effect of this kind of tooth is the best. Then, at midnight every day, he drew a tooth mark on the head of his bed. It is said that after the tooth mark is painted, no one should check it after dawn, and when it goes back to night, you will see that there will be an extra tooth mark next to the tooth mark you have drawn. That night, when you fall asleep with this tooth in your mouth, you will dream of some strange hints, which are used to find Tai Sui.
Qin Yiheng said that he hadn't tried it either, so he hadn't seen the mystery either, and he only knew the general process of the Dao, but one thing was for sure, that is, this bureau was very hurtful, because this person who fell asleep with his teeth in his mouth also needed to extract one of his teeth the next day, otherwise it would attract a big disaster, and this kind of disaster was very rushing, such as fire.
This may still be related to Tai Sui. Tai Sui, widely said, can be used as a title in metaphysics, or a general reference, and to go into detail, in fact, Tai Sui is a very wonderful thing that says that animals are not animals, and that plants are not plants. In ancient times, most of the emperors who sought immortality were looking for this thing. According to legend, this Tai Sui cannot be bitten with teeth, but can only be swallowed. Because people's teeth will come into contact with many impurities in the world, and if they are stained with their teeth, Tai Sui will lose his spirituality.
This Tai Sui is not a simple thing, in the words of the world, it is very cunning and grudgeful. Therefore, if you use "bite the night" to find it, after Tai Sui notices it, he will come to make trouble.
However, this is just a legend, people live for a lifetime, and there are only a handful of people who can see Tai Sui, let alone Tai Sui, who is refined.
Therefore, he will be very nervous when he first discovers the teeth, after all, we came very rashly this time, and we have not gone through sufficient investigation and preparation in advance, he is afraid that this is a similar game to "biting the night", it is a trap, and if we are not careful, we will be buried in the fire again, which is really worth the loss.
Now that we have figured out the origin of the teeth, the next step is to get down to business: look at the house, after all, we are here for a purpose.
After smoking, Qin Yiheng and I began to carefully check from room to room in the house. I only had a cursory look at it before, but this investigation found that this house was indeed very large, and the dust marks of "one household for all people" seen before were found in many rooms, adding up to seven or eight.
I checked the house, but I didn't find anything new than that, not even the shadow of the wardrobe. Qin Yiheng also frowned and said, "There is nothing unclean in the house, it is undoubtedly a standard house." ”
Hearing him say that, I wondered even more. That old man in the hat made us come all the way to do business with us?
After thinking about it, I felt that it was still impossible, so I asked him, what should I do now, this house must not be collected, and it is clear that it is a loss of money!
Qin Yiheng looked around, thought for a while, and suddenly seemed to understand something, and said, "Turn off all the lights in the house." ”
The house is indeed very large, and it took a lot of effort for us to turn off all the lights. When the lights were turned off, the two returned to the living room and looked at it, and they were both shocked.
That night, at first, the stars were bright and the moon was dark, but at this point, I don't know if God helped us two, and it became a moon and stars again. The house itself is located in a remote town, there are no neon street lights around, and there is no pollution or the like, the moon is surprisingly bright, and the light is naturally surprisingly good, as soon as the lights are turned off, the moonlight shines straight through the skylight. However, the moonlight hitting the ground is not what we imagined.
Because these skylights are octagonal, it stands to reason that the moonlight hitting the ground should also be octagonal, even if it will be deformed because of the angle, at least it should be similar to an octagon, and the moonlight on the ground has nothing to do with the octagon!
The shape of these lights is hard to describe, it looks messy, and to my intuition, it looks like a ball of noodles.
At first, I thought it was a cloud floating over the house, but when I looked up, I was trembling.
Because I don't know when the skylight in the living room was scrawled with a similar brush or something dipped in paint, so the light on the ground will have such an effect.
At this time, the lights in the house were turned off, and although the moonlight came in, I was still nervous.
When I checked with Qin Yiheng just now, the skylight was very clean, and now, it was obviously passive.
I said in my heart, while we were chatting in the study, someone went to the room? But we didn't notice it at all!
I couldn't help but start to break out in a cold sweat, and the other party wiped the glass unconsciously, if you want to sneak up on the two of us, it will definitely not be difficult to wipe your neck! Besides, this is probably a trap, after all, according to normal logic, no one would go to the roof in the middle of the night.
I leaned closer to Qin Yiheng, wanting to ask him what he thought. Obviously, he also found that there was something wrong with the skylight, and after looking at it for a while, he actually walked directly under the skylight, raised his head to look, looked at it for a while, leaned down again, touched the ground illuminated by the light with his hand, and then asked me, do you feel familiar with these lights?
I was stunned by his question, looked at it a few more times, and didn't recognize anything, so I asked him, what the hell is this?
Qin Yiheng stretched out his hand and drew it, and said, "Do you remember the seal given by the old man with the hat?" This light, like the thing engraved under the seal, is a spell to suppress the soul and suppress evil spirits. ”
When I heard that it was a spell, I took a closer look at it, but I was so clumsy that I didn't recognize it.
However, I'm curious, not to mention who painted it, but he must at least have a purpose, right?
Now I recognize this as a spell to suppress the soul and suppress evil, and it doesn't look like a harmful game when I hear the name.
I asked Qin Yiheng, and he also shook his head and told me that he had been thinking about it, but he couldn't see the other party's intentions, so he could only carefully check room by room to see if he could find any clues.
We didn't separate from each other when we checked the house this time, and we were afraid that someone would plot against us. Both of them were always on guard, which made me a little uneasy, and when I followed the turn, I never calmed down.
There are a lot of rooms in the house itself, and it took a lot of effort for the two of us to check them out in such a carpet way. But after another turn, there was still no gain.
In the end, Qin Yiheng decided to try to move everything that could be moved, and see if there would be any findings. So, the two of them started to do manual work again.
Fortunately, the old man didn't have any electrical appliances left at home, and he probably took them with him when he moved out, except for a microwave oven and a refrigerator in the kitchen, there was nothing to move.
We both removed the electrical appliances and saw nothing but dust, so we began to move the furniture in the house one by one.
This furniture is all genuine mahogany, very heavy, we are tired enough to move around, finally finished the living room, smoked a cigarette and rested a little, we went to the bedroom.
