Chapter One Hundred and Four. Case 15: Two moons
Hu Zongren went on to say that Zhao Jing said that her set of techniques, the left hand is yin, the right hand is yang, and the yin and yang complement each other to be able to restrain the ghost with direct contact with the left hand, because the ghost itself is yin, which allows her to grab the little girl's face with her hand, and the right hand is yang, and yang energy can be restrained, so she uses her right hand to fight ghosts. Hu Zongren went on to say, if you use this trick instead, it is estimated that your right hand will be yin and your left hand will be yang, but I don't know if this kind of way will work.
Hu Zongren continued, but what really made me aware of the clues was not because of her method of fighting ghosts, but because of her so-called theory of yin and yang. I don't know if you pay attention to it, but at five or six o'clock in the afternoon, the brightest place in the sky is on the left side of the property management building, which happens to be when the sun sets, so that direction is the west, so calculated, the direction of this building is to sit north and face south, and at night, the place where those ghosts pour in, according to the direction, happens to be the place where the moonlight can shine directly during that time period.
When Hu Zongren said this, I suddenly seemed to understand something, so I asked him, do you mean, these ghosts appear regularly every day because they have absorbed the yin energy of the moonlight? Hu Zongren nodded and said, I estimate that the eight achievements are so, the sun and the moon, in ancient times, the sun was called the "golden crow", and the moon was called the "jade rabbit", during this period, of course, there are some mythological meanings, but as the saying goes, the golden black and jade rabbits are west and east, which to some extent means the direction of the sun and the moon, you and I both know the way, the sun and the moon belong to day and night, even if the moon can be seen by us at night, but it is not that it will shine, but refracted the light of the sun, Therefore, the sun and the moon, one is the day and the other is the moon, and the combination becomes the word "Ming". Hu Zongren began to speak in a tone like a philosopher, if not looking at his face. Hu Zongren continued, do you remember the days when we had a conflict with Cha Wudao, and the Wei brothers wanted to take our names and chose what day it was.
How could I have forgotten that the day they set to change their lives happened to be the day of a solar eclipse, and it happened to be the day when the old and the new alternate around the New Year. And the so-called solar eclipse is that the moon covers the sun and appears in the same place, which is the reason why every time there is an astronomical phenomenon such as a solar eclipse, the kings of all generations will perform sacrifices. The solar eclipse phenomenon can also change the tides on the ground, and the reason why it can affect these phenomena on the ground is actually because it affects the magnetic field range of the ground. Hu Zongren said, you also know that the ghost itself is a kind of energy, a kind of magnetic field, otherwise how could your compass detect it.
Hu Zongren chattered for a long time, and I was confused, and I knew that he was trying to explain to me one of the most crucial elements of this incident, but he didn't seem to express it very clearly. Hu Zongren continued, we have learned that there are old houses here, and we also know that there is a Guanyin Temple near Lu Dao, and even that there is a military yamen near Lu Dao, all of which itself is also a major reason for gathering yin qi, but we have ignored a very important point, do you know what Lu Dao is?
I know that Hu Zongren has been waiting for me to answer, "I don't know about Lu Dao", so that he can proudly explain to me. So I won't talk about it. Hu Zongren saw that I didn't react, so he said, okay, we ignored this reservoir here.
I asked Hu Zongren, is there anything wrong with this reservoir? I think it's living water, not stagnant water. Hu Zongren said, when you were a child, did you hear a fable called "The Monkey Fishing for the Moon"? I said to Hu Zongren in surprise, it turns out that your fishing for the moon has become a fable? Hu Zongren ignored me, and then said that the monkeys fished for the moon because they thought the moon was in the water. The reason why the moon is in the water is because the moon in the sky is refracted to the surface of the water, forming a reflection.
As soon as Hu Zongren said this, I understood, you mean, there is a reason why a group of ghosts have emerged here because the reflection of the moon hit the water surface of the reservoir, thus forming two moons, so the already heavy yin qi has doubled, right? Hu Zongren nodded and said, I have calculated the time, whether it is what Manager Han said earlier or what we saw in the monitoring room, there is a relatively fixed time for the ghosts to appear, and I have calculated the position of the moon in the sky during that time period, which can just shine directly behind the property management building, that is, the gap where the group of ghosts poured into.
I said to Hu Zongren, but the weather in Chongqing, it is still a little difficult to see the moon at night! Indeed, Chongqing itself is a heavy industrial city, and the first batch of factories here since the early days of liberation were almost all arsenals, steel mills, etc., and the pollution was relatively serious. In addition, it is located in the eastern part of the Sichuan Basin, just at the edge of the basin, so after the exhaust gas here is discharged into the air, it will produce a certain range of rewinding due to the barrier of the mountain range, which is also one of the reasons why Chongqing is called the mountain city of Wudu. Hu Zongren said with a smile that as long as it is night, there must be a moon, and it is one thing to see it or not, but the moon is always there. This yin energy is not doubled because of the light, but because of the moon itself.
Hu Zongren explained, do you know that our Taoists have a deep understanding of gossip and Tai Chi, right? I said yes, not only you Taoists, I still have to study everything. Hu Zongren said that the two poles of Tai Chi are precisely the manifestations of the integration of yin and yang, but they have their own central point, and this central point will not change in essence under any circumstances. I said those two poles of Tai Chi, right? Hu Zongren said yes, the two poles, in fact, can be compared to the current sun and moon, Tai Chi presents a rotating feeling, can be compared to the current alternation of the sun and the moon, only when the sun and the moon appear in the sky at the same time, can it be called the sun and the moon at the same time, and that time period is exactly when the sun is about to go down, about five or six o'clock.
Hu Zongren said very proudly, so I calculated again and found two inevitable clues, as long as we analyze them, we can accurately find out where the nest of this group of ghosts is. I also smiled and said, can you say it all at once, don't say half of it and let me guess half of it, are you teaching or what are you doing? Hu Zongren saw that I didn't share his joy at all, so he said to me a little frustratedly, the first clue is that at five or six o'clock in the afternoon, the sun and the moon began to change, and the location of this group of ghosts' nests should be able to visually detect the sun and the moon at the same time during this time period, assuming that this is a "starting point" that leads to the appearance of ghosts. The second clue is the time when the ghost appeared, and the moon is roughly in this direction. After speaking, Hu Zongren clicked on the map with a pen, and that location was probably between the straight line on the back of the building and the area where the troops were stationed. Hu Zongren went on to say that at this time period, this group of ghosts should be able to see two moons, one in the sky and one on the water, and at this time the ghosts have already appeared in the surveillance, which is considered the end.
Hu Zongren said that with the beginning and the end, then we can get a trajectory of the moon in the sky during this time period, if we want to see the reflection of the moon, we must be able to see the water surface, so here temporarily take the water surface of the reservoir as a middle point of refraction, and the trajectory of the moon through this central point, so as to refract to a range of the property building, we can get a fan-shaped area, and the ghost nest we are looking for must be within this area.
Hu Zongren is reasonable, which makes me still a little admired, because I have always thought that his IQ is about as high as that of a chicken, but he can deduce so many things without rest all day long and when he is a little injured, because of Zhao Jing's words about yin and yang. I don't know if he is wise and foolish, or if he has secretly eaten brain platinum. I asked Hu Zongren, can you roughly draw this area to show me, Hu Zongren pointed to a semi-arc-shaped area behind the property building on the picture and said, about two or three miles of land, those ghosts must be on the shore and cannot be in the water, and coming in from outside the community means that the old nest is not in the community. Let's walk along the edge of this reservoir after dawn, and then use your compass to measure it, and make sure that we can find their nests, and it is easier to clean up in broad daylight.
After saying that, Hu Zongren laughed, obviously feeling very proud of his reasoning. He said to me, from now on, please call me "Hu Zongren with a smart brain", hahaha!
His laughter attracted the massage girl on the night shift in the foot bath city, and the little sister saw that the two of us were chatting so happily in the middle of the night through the curtain at the door of the room, and laughed loudly, so the little sister showed a happy smile and closed the door of the room very intimately.
I asked Hu Zongren if you wanted to rest first, and I didn't sleep all night. Hu Zongren said no, and now he was very excited. I said that I just found the ghost's nest, what's there to make you happy like this, anyway, sooner or later, these guys will have to be cleaned up, and you can sleep to recover some strength. Hu Zongren said, sooner or later, we have to clean up, for Zhao Jing and Manager Han, we are nothing more than helping them solve a trouble, but for you and me, we are taking revenge. After speaking, he pointed to his right elbow, and I saw that there was a trace of scratched skin, so I also subconsciously kneaded my little finger, which was still aching, and then said to Hu Zongren:
That's right, that little girl is an evil spirit, and it must be destroyed.
