Chapter 16: The River Goes Wrong
Police lights flashed across the river, the black press was full of people, and our reaction to the crowd and the boy kneeling in front of the white cloth and sobbing spoke for itself.
"Hey, yes." Wang Weijun punched me and quipped.
I wasn't in the mood to pay attention to Wang Weijun, I just thought that this boy was quite pitiful.
The police quickly carried the body away, and the boy was taken by the police to assist in the investigation, and the crowd dispersed, and Wang Weijun and I went back.
I thought that this matter would not have anything to do with me, but I didn't expect the boy to come to me again two days later, saying that he didn't give me money when he left in a hurry last time, and I said that I didn't need to give money if I didn't do anything, but the boy insisted on giving me money, and at the same time made a request, hoping that I would do a magic service for his girlfriend.
I made a difficulty, I only stayed in theory about the practice, and I had been advised by Luo Sanshui, and I was about to refuse Wang Weijun but took the money and said that the job was accepted.
I pulled Wang Weijun into the corner and blamed him a few words, but Wang Weijun said: "You are stupid, you don't make money, this matter is very simple, we can just deal with it casually by the river at night, he is a little boy who knows something." ”
What else did I want to say Wang Weijun pulled the boy to ask about the girl, but I had no choice but to listen.
The two are sophomore students of the Fine Arts Department of Lanjing University, the boy's name is Tao Ke, the girl's name is Yin Ran, they have been in love for two years, and their relationship is very good.
Wang Weijun asked how he found out that Yin Ran was missing, Tao Ke said that it was all to blame him, he was a poor student from the countryside, in order to save money, he booked a cheap hotel on the Internet, and when he saw the poor conditions, he didn't say anything, there was a peculiar smell in the room, and it was useless to sprinkle a bottle of toilet water, which directly led to the two of them being uninterested in making out at night, and they wanted to change rooms and were told that there was no vacancy, and they couldn't change hotels, and the hotels in Hetang Town were full.
The two of them had a little awkward because of this, Yin Ran said that he went out to breathe, Tao Ke was also a little angry and didn't follow, the time was still early, and he didn't pay attention to the excitement on the street, but he didn't know that Yin Ran hadn't come back until eleven or twelve o'clock in the evening, and Tao Ke was in a hurry.
Because he was not familiar with the road, the enthusiastic hotel owner took the initiative to take him to look for him nearby, but he couldn't find anyone until two o'clock in the morning, and the phone couldn't get through, so he had no choice but to call the police.
The police on duty at night in the town were not manpowered, so they gave up after looking around the neighborhood, and refused to file a case and transfer manpower on the grounds that it was less than 24 hours, and just asked Tao Ke to go back to the hotel and wait.
Tao Ke waited in the hotel all night, and the next day the police sent additional people to help find it, but unfortunately it was not found, Tao Ke later found the calligraphy and painting street, and we all know the next thing.
Wang Weijun heard this with a look of hatred for iron and steel, and sighed: "Oh, brother, what are you doing here, girls need to be emotional, of course they are not interested in the poor environment, if you can spend more money, maybe you will ......." ”
Seeing that Wang Weijun was more and more outrageous, I quickly coughed, and he stopped.
For poor students in rural areas, saving is their virtue, and it is not a matter of spending more money at all, but because of a coincidence.
"What do the police say now?" I asked.
"The police have examined the autopsy, saying that he died by drowning, he killed, committed suicide, and accidents are possible, Yin Ran has a cheerful personality and will not commit suicide because of trivial things, as for the possibility of his killing, we are the first time to come to Hetang Town, there is no one we know here, he needs a motive to kill, the biggest possibility is an accident, Yin Ran can't swim...... But it's all my fault. Tao Ke lowered his head in annoyance as he spoke.
I comforted him and asked him what he was going to do next.
Tao Ke slowly raised his head, collected his sadness and said: "Yin Ran's parents have rushed to Hetang Town to recognize the body, and they have a conflict with me, they think that I killed Yin Ran, maybe I killed it, and let the police investigate me thoroughly, I don't deny that Yin Ran's death was indirectly caused by the awkwardness, but I deny that I killed Yin Ran, these are two different things, I can't let a basin of dirty water splash on myself, if it wasn't for the hotel owner to make me a time witness, I'm still a suspect now, so I want to continue to stay in Hetang Town, Until the matter is clear, not only to restore his innocence, but most importantly, not to let Yin Ran die unclear! ”
I can understand Tao Ke's decision, because rural children attach great importance to dignity because they are poor.
After Tao Ke left, I blamed Wang Weijun for being troublesome, but Wang Weijun ignored me and counted the money by myself, and said that there were a thousand yuan, I frowned, Tao Ke saved dozens of yuan in the hotel, this amount is not small for him, and the money must not be easy, if we just deal with it perfunctorily, it will be a bit excessive.
Wang Weijun persuaded me to open a point, he said that opening the door to do business is not to open a good hall, if you see that people are pitiful, just close the door.
I learned the process from books and know how to do it, but the biggest problem is my identity, there are strict requirements for the identity of the implementer, not that you can do it after learning, you must really worship the ancestor and enter the door, just like a piece of jewelry needs to be opened to have spiritual truth.
Seeing that I was silent, Wang Weijun patted me on the shoulder and said, "With me, you are worried about a hammer, and the affairs of the night are left to me, you can just watch me from the side." ”
"Can you do it?" I asked rhetorically.
"You really need to worship the ancestor to play, and only when you are recognized can you please move the true god, of course I can't, and neither can you, but to say that I, Wang Weijun, who is playing false, can do more than you, don't think about it, it's such a happy decision." After Wang Weijun finished speaking, he went to bed after running to the store.
At this point, I don't have a problem.
At ten o'clock in the middle of the night, when everything was quiet, Wang Weijun changed into Luo Sanshui's robe, packed up the Dharma bag and motioned for me to call Tao Ke, I was very hesitant, and finally had no choice but to call.
Tao Ke arrived after the three of us set off, on the way Wang Weijun said that we need to open the altar in the place where Yin Ran was scooped up, and in the afternoon he contacted the proprietress of Yipinxiang and borrowed the boat, so we arrived at the ferry and took the boat to the river.
I know very well what Wang Weijun is doing, one is to make Tao Ke look professional, and the other is to stay away from the calligraphy and painting street so as not to cause trouble, after all, there is more than one feng shui museum on the calligraphy and painting street, everyone is a peer, if you find that we are not authentic, it will be over if you spread it out and have a bad reputation, which is why he chose to come out at midnight.
I sat at the stern of the boat with a compass and looked up at the moonlight, the moon was obscured by thin clouds tonight, hazy, which helps the yin to travel at night, in fact, it is not suitable for this point, but the weather is not certain.
About half an hour or so we arrived at the place where Yin Ran was scooped up, after the boat stopped, Wang Weijun put down the penny of the boat, lit incense and lit the lamp on the bow of the boat, put on the magic utensils, and sprinkled some glutinous rice on the river surface and began to chant mantras and chants, as for what mantras and scriptures to read, perhaps only he himself knows.
Wang Weijun read for a while, and saw that Tao Ke had an anxious look, so he changed his tricks, took out the peachwood sword and poked the charm to ignite a wave of waving, looking at the full posture and bluffing Tao Ke, a college student, was stunned for a moment.
If it was the same as before, I might have been able to be bluffed by him, but now I see that his set is completely chaotic and out of order.
I feel a little sorry for Tao Ke, a thousand yuan was just like this, I couldn't get on and couldn't explain to him, I couldn't smash Luo Sanshui's signboard, so I had no choice but to sit in the stern of the boat out of sight.
As soon as I put the compass down, I suddenly found that the compass magnetic needle had moved abnormally in the Tianchi, deviating from the meridian black line, and the needle began to sink!
I was worried that it was caused by the slight shaking of the ship, and I specially observed it for a while, but it has always been this state, and my heart immediately mentioned the throat eye, the compass magnetic needle deviates from the meridian black line, which means that there is an aura near here, and the magnetic needle sinks in the compass meridian called the sinking needle, which means that there is yin energy involved!
Wang Weijun at the bow of the boat was in a daze, and my breathing was not smooth, because I noticed the strange changes around me, and the sound of other sounds on the dark river could not be heard at all except for Wang Weijun's chanting incantation, which was extremely abnormal, and at the same time, I didn't know when the fog had risen on the river surface, causing the visibility to become lower and lower.
If it can cause this situation, it means that the nearby yin aura energy is strong, which will blind people's senses, forming a so-called enchantment, trapping people in it and can't get out, if you don't want to crack it, you are likely to be trapped to death, as for how to die, I don't know!
