Chapter 141: The Shadow on the Tombstone
After the professor asked the feng shui master about the situation, he and the two students began to investigate. To the surprise of the Feng Shui master, the professor's investigation began at the cemetery, that is, the grave of the Feng Shui master's friend's family, who was killed by a meteorite.
Because the professor learned that the Taoist priest was using guò to use his hands and feet on other people's ancestral graves to carry out his terrible curse ability, since this is the case, it will definitely leave clues in the cemetery, these are very important clues. In fact, the ancestral grave of the person who was killed by the meteorite is not in Shanghai, but in the mountains near Hangzhou.
The professor had the potential to be a detective, and after almost two weeks, he finally found the location of the man's ancestral grave.
The professor also humorously said to the feng shui master: "I'm not afraid of that Taoist priest cursing me in this way, because our family doesn't seem to have an ancestral grave, ha, my ancestors were Jews in Europe, and they used to live and work in different countries and different regions." So, after death, he was buried in different regions and countries, even I don't know, which is my ancestral grave, until my father's generation, he moved to the United States, and then he became a navy, and died at sea in World War I, so the Taoist method is ineffective for me.
Although the feng shui master knew that the professor was joking, he did think that the West and the East are too different in terms of thinking and culture. And these differences may make professors think from different angles, so that they may have unexpected discoveries.
For the Chinese, the ancestral grave is very important, and people often associate the blessing and wealth of their children and grandchildren with the ancestral grave.
Because Mr. Feng Shui's friend's family is definitely a wealthy businessman in Shanghai, their family's ancestral tomb is very well built and repaired. Between the peaks, you can see a white marble tombstone in the distance, which is engraved with the extraordinary deeds of their ancestors.
The professor and two students, led by a guide, came to the cemetery, and although they got up before dawn in the morning, when they arrived at the cemetery, it was already past four o'clock in the afternoon, and after such a long walk and trek, and carrying various instruments on their backs, all three of them felt very tired. Even the guide shouted several times, saying that it was time to rest and then walk, but he was too tired to walk.
However, the professor estimated the time and felt that if he took a break, it would be almost dark when he arrived at the cemetery, and as soon as it was dark, it would be more difficult to investigate and make discoveries.
But when they arrived at the cemetery, they did not dare to delay in the slightest, and immediately began to observe and search the cemetery in detail. Start with the tombstone, and then use a hand-held drilling machine to make holes in the cemetery to see if anything is buried, and also dig multiple pits in different locations in the cemetery with a sapper shovel, but after tossing for a long time, no abnormalities were found. The three of them were so tired that they couldn't stand it, but the guide, who was very comfortable, sat on a stone, and looked at the three foreign devils with a little puzzlement, he felt that the three foreigners seemed to be tomb robbers.
At the repeated request of the two students, the professor agreed to take a break, and the two students immediately lay down on the grass like a puddle of mud. The professor gritted his teeth, endured the aches and pains, sat on the ground, and leaned against a tree tiredly.
It was already time for the sun to turn west, and from time to time there was a cool breeze blowing in the mountains, which made them feel very comfortable and comfortable, and the two students were perhaps too tired, and soon after lying down, there was a snoring sound, and the professor did not call them, he really couldn't bear to push them too hard, these two students were originally obliged to follow him to China, and the professor did not want to be too unkind.
The setting sun shines through the trees in the mountains and shines on this cemetery. The professor sat against a tree and watched as the three men and two students beside him, as well as the guide, were already lying on the grass, asleep. He himself was drowsy, but with his perseverance, he gritted his teeth, endured sleepiness, and desperately stayed awake, because he felt that this was in the wild, and if several people were asleep, they would completely lose their vigilance, and perhaps some kind of danger would follow.
Just when the professor was trying to stand up, he suddenly found that on the white marble tombstone, under the sunlight, there was a strange projection of a shadow on the top, very much like a stone, and the shadow below was very much like a person, and it was so similar, more like it was made with shadow puppetry, it was simply lifelike! The professor was stunned by this wonderful projection on the tombstone!
He suddenly forgot about the fatigue of his body, jumped up excitedly, walked to the projection, and looked in the direction of the sun. He wanted to figure out what kind of shadow was shining on a tombstone that would have this wonderful effect. But to his surprise, he didn't look at anything special, just saw branches and leaves, that is to say, it may be these extremely ordinary branches and leaves, under the sunlight, after layers of superimposition, this effect actually appeared! It's amazing, and the implication of this projection pattern is that a stone hitting a person happens to be the way the student who was stoned to death by a meteorite.
This must have been done by that Taoist priest.
But how did the Taoist priest do it? If nothing else, let's just say that the shadows of those countless branches and leaves, after layers of superimposition, are projected on the tombstone to present this effect, which ordinary people can't do at all.
He hurriedly looked at the trees carefully, and he didn't see any movement at all, each tree was so natural and normal.
As the sun sinks in the west, the shadow is also changing, according to common sense, because the position of the light source has moved, the shadow will definitely deform and disappear, but what is even more wonderful is that although the angle of sunlight is changing, the position of the shadow is also moving, but the clear shape, there seems to be no change.
And the shape, although the angle of the sun's rays changed, slowly moving down from the tombstone, all the way to the ground, and still moving, the shape remained the same.
The professor hurriedly took out his camera and turned off the flash to take a shadow, if he didn't care about the flash, he couldn't shoot anything, so he adjusted the focus of the shadow and took a few pictures in succession.
After a while, the wonderful shadow moved to one of the students who was lying on the ground sleeping. The professor put down the camera in his hand and watched the wonderful shadow intently, and when the shadow fell on the student, he suddenly thought of something. Rushing up, he woke up the student with eagerness and shouting, and the student immediately woke up, got up from the ground, and hurriedly asked the professor what had happened.
After such a toss, the other two people also woke up, and they both stood up, rubbing their sleepy eyes, and looked at the professor in confusion. The professor didn't explain much, but hurriedly pushed and shoved them, and asked them to move away, and before the three of them could continue to ask, suddenly, I saw two or three foxes on the hillside, as if they were suddenly frightened, rubbed a few times, jumped from a boulder into the grass, and then, something even more terrible happened:
The boulder seemed to be crumbling in its prime, and after the foxes kicked it, it tumbled down the hillside with a bang, and rolled until it reached the place where the student had just slept, and then stopped, and smashed that place into a deep crater, and if the professor hadn't woken the student up in time, he would have been stoned alive by the boulder.
The four of them stood next to them in fright, and they didn't react for a long time, and after a long while, they came back to their senses, and all three of them looked at the professor in surprise, and the student said with palpitations: "Dr. Pete, I didn't expect you to have the ability to predict, thank you for saving me."
The professor shook his head with a wry smile, and told the two students what happened just now, of course, in English, and the guide couldn't understand a word, just looking at it next to him, and the professor didn't want the guide to know too much, so he didn't say a word about the guide just now. The guide who harmed him really thought that the professor had a magical ability to predict, so he only pestered the professor to tell him a fortune.
The sky gradually darkened, and the four of them had to rush back overnight, so without further delay, they immediately packed up their instruments and walked out of the mountain.
After the professor returned to Shanghai, he told the feng shui master about this extremely strange experience, and showed the feng shui master the photos he had taken of the strange shadow. The feng shui master was also shocked by that shadow, how could it be so similar? The stone, the man, is simply lifelike, like a silhouette carefully painted by a painter, that kind of proportions and details, it is so perfect.
Feng Shui master and professor have the same point of view, this extremely wonderful shadow is definitely related to that Taoist priest, but how did he do it? Still a mystery. This is their feng shui housekeeping skill, and it is difficult for outsiders, even if they are masters in the feng shui world, to know the mystery in detail. The feng shui master also suddenly thought that at the moment when that friend was hit by a meteorite, it seemed that a cloud happened to float in the sky, covering the sun, which must be a kind of "shadow", and if this is the case, they are all covered by shadows, why did the meteorite just hit that friend's head?
And when the feng shui master sees the photo, with his profound feng shui accumulation, he can judge which location has the strongest yin qi according to the terrain on the photo without going to the scene, which is of course also the professional habit of the feng shui master. When he focused his gaze on the strongest part of the yin, that is, the topography in the upper left corner of the photo, he suddenly noticed that after the special exposure effect of the film, there was a halo that looked like a human face, and there seemed to be a strange smile on that face.
