Chapter 38: Lock the Ghost Door
On the third night after I was discharged from the hospital, Huang Yixian arrived in the provincial capital, and Professor Dong personally went to the station to pick him up.
When I saw Huang Yixian's emaciated figure at the door of the dormitory building, I suddenly felt an inexplicable feeling in my heart, but this emotion lasted for less than two seconds before the clouds dissipated, because as soon as he saw me, he immediately rushed forward, and scolded me angrily without asking any questions. In front of Professor Dong and another middle-aged man, who came with him, he scolded me for nearly ten minutes, and it was useless for Professor Dong to help me say good things on the side, he even brought out the incident that I secretly went down to the river to swim with a cheap person when I was a child, until Uncle Chen, who was guarding the dormitory, thought that something was going on outside and ran out to stop it, and he stopped.
After scolding, he walked up to me again, carefully examined the wound on my temple, and asked with concern, "Does it still hurt?" ”
I hurriedly shook my head: "It doesn't hurt anymore!" ”
"Damn, if I let Lao Tzu find that guy, I have to beat him to death!" He started yelling at the guy who attacked me again.
Professor Dong, who was standing on the side, was probably worried that he would scold for another ten minutes, so he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Mr. Huang, let's get down to business first." ”
"That's right! Right! Get down to business! Huang Yixian said as he took out a long-distance bus ticket and two catering invoices from his pocket, handed them to Professor Dong, and said solemnly: "Professor Dong, I have to trouble you to help me reimburse this ticket and the food money on the road, a total of ninety-seven yuan five." ”
Professor Dong took the bill, with a look of shame, it is estimated that he never thought that this was the "business" in Huang Yixian's mouth. He didn't know that Huang Yixian was such a person, helping others do things, and he wouldn't post a penny upside down, whether it was a piece of talisman paper or half a match, he would count it and collect money from the other party. In his words, to help others do this kind of thing, you must not put money into it yourself, otherwise you may get into trouble. As for whether there is such a thing or not, there is no way to verify it.
After being stunned for a moment, Professor Dong hurriedly took out his wallet, took out a few hundred-yuan bills from it and handed them to Huang Yixian: "Come, Mr. Huang, take these hundreds of yuan and use them first!" The hotel has been booked, right next to the school, Century Golden Resources Hotel, in terms of meals, we will also have arrangements, you don't have to bother. ”
Huang Yixian unceremoniously took the money and bowed his hand to Professor Dong: "So thank you Professor Dong!" Then he took out a note from his pocket, handed it over, and said, "This says my bank account number, 50,000 deposits, please call here." ”
Professor Dong hurriedly took the note and said, "Mr. Huang, please rest assured, the money will not be less, there will be someone to come to the hotel tomorrow to sign a contract with you, and after signing the contract, the deposit will be paid to your account as soon as possible." ”
Huang Yixian nodded, then pointed his hand to the loess ridge next to him, and said, "The tomb you are talking about is here?" ”
"That's right, this is it!" Professor Dong replied.
Huang Yixian took the compass out of his satchel and said, "Since you're here, let's take a look by the way." He took the compass and walked to the fence between the campus and the Loess Ridge, and walked slowly along the wall, looking down at the compass in his hand from time to time.
Professor Dong and I, as well as the middle-aged man who came with me, followed closely, but after walking for a while, there was nothing unusual about the compass.
Huang Yixian frowned, turned around and asked me, "The thief hole you said is really inside this wall?" ”
I nodded and said, "It's inside, less than ten meters away from this wall." ”
"That's strange, why doesn't the compass react at all? Could it be that the yin qi in the tomb has not yet escaped? Huang Yixian was a little puzzled, he pondered for a moment, suddenly thought of something, and asked me again: "You said on the phone two days ago that there is a locked door in that thief cave?" ”
"Yes, a black wooden door, and there are gossip and inscriptions painted on the door."
"Could it be that you are locking the ghost door?" Huang Yixian was slightly stunned.
Professor Dong asked curiously on the side, "What does this ghost door say?" ”
Huang Yixian said: "Locking the ghost door is actually equivalent to a door talisman, that is, drawing runes on the door, which is dedicated to warding off evil spirits and suppressing ghosts. The material used to lock the ghost door is usually made of peach wood soaked in black dog blood, so it looks black jujube. However, the method of making a ghost lock door is actually very cumbersome, and I thought it was already lost! I didn't think anyone would know about it. ”
"So what happens with this locked ghost door?" Professor Dong continued to ask.
Huang Yixian replied: "Locking the ghost door can lock the yin qi in the tomb, and it can also prevent the evil things in the tomb from coming out and hurting people." Presumably they knew that there were bloody corpses in the tomb, so they installed such a locked ghost door, it seems that these guys are not simple. ”
I asked puzzledly, "Since there is a locked ghost door, why did my classmate get caught up in the ghost before?" And when I was attacked the night before, I let out a weird sigh that scared the guy away. How can this be explained? ”
Huang Yixian glared at me: "Stinky boy, I haven't been inside to see it, how can I know so much!" ”
I stuck out my tongue and hurriedly shut up.
Huang Yixian looked around again, and suddenly focused on the lotus pond between the two dormitory buildings, and asked, "How can there be a pool there?" ”
Before I could answer, the middle-aged man who came with Professor Dong said, "That pool existed before the school was built, and when the dormitory building was built, I originally wanted to fill it in, but I found that the water in the pool was quite deep, and the deepest part was more than ten meters deep!" Moreover, the water in the pond seemed to be inexhaustible, and after two full days of pumping with a pumping machine, the water level did not drop in the slightest, because the pool water could not be filled without draining it, and some people later thought that keeping such a lotus pond was also a scenery of the campus, so it was retained. ”
I didn't expect this middle-aged man to be quite familiar with the history of our school, these allusions, even I don't know, I can't help but look at him a few more times, I feel a little familiar, but I can't remember where I have seen it.
Listening to what the middle-aged man said, Huang Yixian frowned, pondered for a moment, and said, "Go!" Go to that pool and have a look. ”
The group walked to the lotus pond, there was not a trace of wind tonight, and the willow trees around the pond were motionless and hung low branches, adding a bit of a strange atmosphere.
The calm surface of the pool, from time to time, bubbles emerge from the bottom of the water, making a "cooing" sound.
I glanced at Professor Dong, stepped forward and said to Huang Yixian, "Uncle Shi, there is something strange in this lotus pond. ”
"What's weird?"
I told Huang Yixian about Liu Yan and Dong Xiaodan jumping into the pool one after another, and after he heard it, he didn't show much surprise, but said lightly: "From the topography, this pool is located at the mouth of the tomb, which is easy to gather yin qi, and the weeping willows around this pool are planted that can lock yin qi. ”
"So how do you resolve it?" The middle-aged man asked from the side.
"I'll take a look!" Huang Yixian said, leaning down, holding the compass with one hand, and stretched out to the surface of the water as much as possible.
We all stretched out our necks, our eyes fixed on the compass, and suddenly, the hand of the compass trembled slightly, and turned more than ten degrees counterclockwise.
Huang Yixian took the compass back and took a look, his face changed greatly, and he exclaimed, "This ...... How is this possible......"
Professor Dong hurriedly asked, "Mr. Huang, what's wrong?" ”
Huang Yixian slowly raised his head and said, "There are a lot of yin spirits gathered in this pool, and they are very resentful, I'm afraid that many people have died here." ”
"What...... What the!? Professor Dong immediately turned his head to look at the middle-aged man and asked, "Has anyone committed suicide by jumping into this pool before?" ”
The middle-aged man hurriedly waved his hand and said, "How is it possible, since the establishment of our school, it is the first time this kind of thing has happened, and there has never been any accident in this lotus pond before." ”
Huang Yixian explained: "When I say that a lot of people have died, I don't mean recently, it should be hundreds of years ago. ”
"Hundreds of years ago? Could it be related to this tomb? Professor Dong seemed to understand something.
Huang Yixian nodded and said, "Very likely!" The water in this pool is inexhaustible, and bubbles bubble up in the water from time to time, presumably because of the connection with the underground **, the yin qi in the tomb gathers here through the water veins. Over time, it will gather into a ghostly resentment. ”
"Then Weishenme didn't have an accident before, and it didn't start to make trouble until recently?"
"It's hard to say, the two female babies jumped into the pool, it should be caused by the ghost obsession, the so-called ghost obsessed mind, in fact, some people with uncertain minds are affected by the spirit of ghost resentment, the reason why this kind of thing has not happened before, maybe the resentment accumulated in this pool in the past is not enough to affect people's minds, or it may be because those tomb robbers dig the hole, affecting the earth around the tomb, resulting in a large amount of yin qi gathered into this pool."
After listening to what Huang Yixian said, the middle-aged man asked eagerly, "Then does Mr. Huang have a way to resolve the ghost resentment in this pool?" ”
Huang Yixian pondered for a moment, suddenly took out a few paper talismans from his bag, raised his hand, the paper talisman spontaneously combusted without fire, he had words in his mouth, and when a few paper talismans were fully burned, he threw them on the water surface and sprinkled the paper ashes into the pool.
Professor Dong and the middle-aged man were dumbfounded, they didn't know that the reason why Huang Yixian was able to make the paper talisman spontaneously combust without fire was because of the use of white phosphorus, but this trick was actually not particularly exquisite, whether it was using fire or white phosphorus to ignite the paper talisman, the effect was the same, purely to add a bit of mystery.
