Chapter 21 is full of doubts
Uncle Ma looked at Qin Ding.
"Xiao Qin, if you have any questions, let's ask them later, I'll talk about the third one first."
"Okay."
"Article 3: After the tape and the transcript are sealed, they will be taken into the Yin-Yang Pavilion by the palm of the hand for preservation.
The right to seal the tape can only be exercised by the Palm Keeper, but it must be done in the presence of the Governor.
Sealed tapes and transcripts cannot be destroyed or tampered with, but only the person in charge can hear and read them.
The prefect only has one chance to view the record that has not been sealed, and he must also be in front of the palm, and when the seal is completed, it will not be able to see it.
That's pretty much it, what questions did you have just now? ”
After listening to the third article, Qin Ding was sure that his previous guess was right, and what Uncle Ma said and behaved was also normal, and he couldn't see anything wrong for a while.
Uncle Ma was still waiting for his answer, and he scratched his head.
"What if there is a mistake in the transcript and I want to revise it, but it has been sealed?"
Uncle Ma snorted.
"A competent master and a powerful soul hunter will not make such a mistake, and they will usually carefully check before protecting the seal.
The Soul Hunter basically won't let this kind of thing happen, unless he is wrong in the investigation due to uncontrollable reasons, and if the palm is written wrong, as long as there is no substantial impact, there is no need to revise it.
Because the unsealing is very complicated, you have to apply to the above to cancel the token, and after passing the review, it will be distributed to the palm, and each withdrawal token can only be used once, if it is because of the mistake and the delay has an accident, it will be heavily fined.
Xiao Qin, don't think about making mistakes, you are so young, you don't even have Taoism, if you apply, it will take a year and a half to talk about it, and because of your problems in the middle, delay some karmic things, then it will be a big trouble. ”
Qin Ding was silent, it turned out that it was so difficult to remove the protective seal, who was so powerful that he could record that sentence at the end of the tape, and the matter he was involved in must have been very dangerous.
Uncle Ma was stunned when he saw Qin Ding.
"Xiao Qin? What do you think? ”
Qin Ding came back to his senses.
"I'm wondering how that recording was broken after the tapes were sealed."
Uncle Ma looked a little speechless.
"Is this heart you going to, take my words as a deaf ear?"
Qin Ding hurriedly smiled.
"No, Uncle Ma, I won't ask, I'm just, I want to know more so as not to make mistakes."
"Xiao Qin? Are you ...... Stimulated by what? Frightened by a lightning strike? You've been thinking too fast in the past two days, aren't you? ”
Qin Ding smiled with a little embarrassment, did this Uncle Ma see something? Before he could speak, Uncle Ma showed a little abrupt expression.
"Are you...... At the end of the tape, heard some strange words? Like making you careful or something? ”
Uncle Ma was in a hurry, Qin Ding was shocked, and almost showed his flaws.
"What? What strange words? Uncle, what did you say? ”
Uncle Ma looked serious.
"Didn't you hear? I remember a few years ago when I handed over the inspection record, Lao Leizi wrote this inexplicable sentence on it, so that I could pay attention to something.
I can't remember the content a little, but I asked Lei Zi at the time, and he said that this passage appeared at the back of the tape, I don't know what it means, and I suspect that the soul hunter accidentally recorded what the murder said when he was recording. Didn't you hear? It can't be because of this nonsense that you change your mind, right? ”
Qin Ding frowned slightly.
"Uncle, if it was said by the murderous spirit, I didn't understand it before, not to mention that there was nothing behind. It wasn't long after the Soul Hunter had finished reporting a long list of years, months, and days before the tape was finished.
Did you make a string with someone, or did that passage also be damaged? I didn't hear it anyway. But...... I think you're still misremembering, because after reporting the year, month, and day, it's basically a few seconds, how can there be any other voice. ”
As soon as Qin Ding said this, Uncle Ma narrowed his eyes, a little uncertain.
"yes, am I really mistaken? …… Alas! Forget it, let's not talk about this, let's get down to business first. ”
Don't look at Qin Ding's natural words, a layer of cold sweat has oozed from his back.
He couldn't tell if Uncle Ma was cheating or if he had really seen it in the transcript before.
But what is certain is that the message could not have been said by the ghost, because he really couldn't understand the ghost language before. And if Uncle Ma is cheating him, it is a bit too accurate.
But...... Qin Ding suddenly thought, with that strange content, if Uncle Ma really read it, could he not pursue it back then? Can't remember yet? And isn't it surprising to know that his surname is Qin?
But...... Uncle Ma really doesn't look like he's pretending, and he can say things like "be careful", which is really hard to tell.
Qin Ding put this question aside first, and he also noticed a place that Uncle Ma said just now, that is, these tapes used to have corresponding records, and they were all sealed together, but now, ...... Hire him to re-enter it, which can be regarded as a supplementary record.
And what about the previous transcript? Isn't it damaged by the seal? Could it be that someone applied for the removal of the seal and then destroyed or lost the transcript?
It's a new suspicion, but he can't ask this kind of question anymore, otherwise it will definitely make Uncle Ma suspicious.
All the doubts were mixed together like a pulp, and it was impossible to sort out at all, and this matter was even more confusing.
He didn't know either, he didn't figure out everything, everyone couldn't believe it, and he had to be careful.
While he was thinking quickly, Uncle Ma tapped his finger in front of the wooden card.
"This is the shield token used for sealing. I'll tell you the mantra now, and you can memorize it. ”
Qin Ding retracted his thoughts and glanced at the token on the table, which was engraved with some incomprehensible complex fonts, like something on the Dao symbol.
He hummed and pulled a piece of note.
Uncle Ma touched his chin and began to read.
"Ordered by the sky, ascend to the nine palaces, the hundred gods are seated, the gods are served, and the fierce souls are stable. By the order of Zhenwu Yuanjun, enter the edict of the Yin and Yang Pavilion! Envelope! ”
The spell was not long, and Qin Ding wrote it down on a piece of paper. As he put the pen down, he remembered that the "spell" was also mentioned in the passage at the end of the tape. It's a pity that I can't hear the key part of that sentence clearly, and I don't know what spell Jean is asking.
"Xiao Qin, the spell needs to be memorized skillfully. To protect the seal, you only need to hold the token, recite the mantra, and then click on the tape or transcript.
You have to strictly follow the rules I just talked about, which step is wrong, there will be serious consequences, do you understand? ”
Qin Ding nodded hurriedly.
"Understood."
"And what else do you have to ask?"
"Uncle Ma, since I have become a real master, then you can tell me now what we are doing in this place."
"I can tell you, but you may still not understand it for a while, and this needs to be understood in a different way.
Our place is ordered by heaven to suppress murderous spirits. In ancient times, it was called the 'Soul Division', and now it is commonly known as the 'Murder Soul Suppression Hall'.
As for the murderous spirit, it should be understood literally, generally referring to the resentment in the heart of a living creature with a soul when it dies, and after death, due to a variety of reasons, the resentment deepens, and it becomes a fierce spirit.
In other words, you can understand that after death, some kind of spiritual force is unwilling to die, and a kind of vengeful energy is formed. This kind of energy is very harmful, and it will accumulate, and when it becomes the climate, the scourge is not a joke.
Therefore, our place is dedicated to detaining and then disposing of these evil spirits who have caused disaster to the world, and archiving the process of handling the incident so that cause and effect can be determined.
Our subordinate department is the 'Investigation Department of Unusual Things', and the subordinate unit is the 'Murder Detective Station'.
The soul hunter belongs to the detective station, and on the surface, they are all ordinary people, and they all have jobs, and they will only deal with the murder when they receive the task in the station, and arrest the murderous soul. ”
Qin Ding couldn't help but be speechless, this was really subversive and opened up his new world. If it weren't for seeing it with your own eyes, it would be unbelievable.
He was suddenly in a trance, this couldn't be a dream.
"Uncle, then I have become a real leader, do these tapes still need to be recorded within a week?"
Uncle Ma glanced at the wooden box.
"Although you have become the master, some parts of the probationary agreement still have to be enforced, after all, you pressed your handprint, and the punishment is still working."
"That'...... Will I be able to leave the hospital after a week? ”
"A week later, you've finished writing these tapes, I've checked the transcript, and once you've sealed them, you can go out, but not in the meantime. …… Xiao Qin, you must not think about repentance, and don't think about running away, because ...... No matter where you hide, I can find you. ”
Qin Ding's scalp was a little numb, and he thought of what he said in that passage again-"You can't escape." ”
"Uncle Ma,...... You have to trust me. ”
Uncle Ma laughed.
"Xiao Qin, who knows if you're afraid of that thunder...... It's still another reason to change your mind, this place is not forced, but it's not something you can leave if you want to, it's all your choice.
Okay, don't grind, you're already in charge, accept the new life.
Also, hurry up and record it, write it early and finish it early. Your work isn't just about these tapes now, you're already accumulating new ones.
You put the token away, and I'll bring you dinner in the evening. ”
Qin Ding answered, and Uncle Ma walked out.
A new life? Still is...... The treacherous journey that has just begun.
He sat back in his chair and looked at the tapes in deep thought. There were so many things that happened that day that he needed to digest them.
He went through the events and the sentence at the end of the tape, and listed the doubts in his mind.
First, who left the words at the end of the tape is crucial, and if you can know or meet this person, all the riddles should be opened.
Second, the phrase "tell the white face that it is black" seems to be very important, but the person not only speaks quickly and smoothly in tone, but the words "white face" and "black" are easily connected into one meaning, so that he cannot hear the subject-verb distinction, so he decides to ignore the meaning for now, and only need to convey it correctly depending on the situation.
Third, ask what kind of mantra it will be, and what will it do? The presence of this reminder in that passage is obviously also important.
Fourth, there are many places in that passage that cannot be heard. For example, "Be careful***, don't ask *** about this tape***".
Is this to be careful about what, is it a person or a thing? Don't ask anyone, it won't be the same person.
Don't let me ask what is in that tape, what secrets are hidden in it, and will it have something to do with the disappearance of my parents?
Fifth, what does "**** Qiankun ****" mean? Turning things around?
Qin Ding had no clue at all.
After he listed these doubts, he recalled what Lu Xiaohu said. What made people suspicious, Uncle Ma later gave a reasonable explanation, but Lu Xiaohu said to himself, "...... Four plates, how could it be? What does that mean?
Is it one dish missing, or is it something else?
The content of the tape is not connected, it looks like there is a tape missing, but the serial number is written by the palm of the hand, and it is connected, and Uncle Ma did not seem surprised to see the four tapes, so it should be that the four tapes are not wrong, so why did Lu Xiaohu say that?
Qin Ding couldn't help but regret thinking of this, and couldn't help but pat his thigh, just such a good opportunity, just asked if there were a few tapes, but at that time, he thought too much about it, so he missed it.
While he was annoyed, he was thinking that since he was already in charge, he would definitely meet Lu Xiaohu in the future, and when that time came, he would definitely ask about this matter, and by the way, he would also ask about the disappearance of his parents.
Next, he thought of the former uncle Lei who he had never met, what mistake did he make, it would be so serious.
And where is the previous transcript?
