18. When it is cloudy
When I woke up again, I was still standing in front of the statue of the Earth Demon Master, and the scene I had just experienced was like a dream, and I heard Yiyang ask me, "Stone, are you okay?"
I turned my head to look at him, feeling a little dazed, I didn't know why, I shook my head and said, "It's okay." ”
After saying that, I turned my head to look at this statue of the Heavenly Master, because after I came to my senses, I seemed to feel that I had seen such a statue of the Heavenly Master of the Earth Shatter somewhere before, but after recalling it carefully, I couldn't find any memories of it.
I looked at the statue again, but this time it didn't look like it had just felt at all, as if all of a sudden the statue had become ordinary, no longer the first time I saw it.
Just as I was thinking about this, I heard the old man and Yiyang say, "It's almost time for the clouds." ”
I was attracted by his words and asked, "What is the time of the clouds?" ”
Yiyang said: "It is the time of the day when the yang energy begins to subside and the yin energy gathers, and at this time the yin and yang alternate, so it is called the time of yin." ”
I thought in my heart that there was already a "yin" gathering here, plus it was yin, so would there be any more unexpected changes, I don't think the situation here looks like there are living people, so who is the person surnamed Mu that Mr. Dream guided me to find here?
I asked Yiyang, "So what are we going to do now?"
Yiyang said: "I have a hunch that the person who is wooden-minded is here, and he has already arrived here, so there is no reason not to go in and take a look." ”
The old man didn't say anything, it seemed that Yiyang was in charge of this matter, so I also said, "Then listen to you." ”
We bypassed the living room, up to the second floor, this second floor is the place where the previous and later trigrams occurred, when I went upstairs, I even felt that this staircase was exactly the same, after coming to the top, I really saw a person standing in almost the same place upstairs, and after looking closely, I found that it was a corpse, at first I thought it was the young man in the haunted house, but after reading it, I found out that it was just a paper person, but it was really realistic, and the upstairs was dim, so it looked like a real person.
In addition, the paper figure is wearing ordinary people's clothes, and it is normal to be confused by standing like this. There is a white paper note pasted on the heart of the paper man, on which is written a birthday eight characters, the old man and Yiyang looked at it, and did not recognize who it was, but only saw that it was a birthday eight characters, and the estimated age was indeed less than a person with a Jiazi, that is to say, the corpse seen in the haunted house at that time had been confirmed to be a corpse more than thirty years ago, plus his own original age, it happened to be less than a Jiazi time, could this paper man be the stand-in for the corpse?
I turned my head to look at Yiyang, who also thought the same thing, and he said, "This is the method of arson. ”
The old man said, "Look at whether there is a former murderer on his back." ”
Yiyang turned to the back of the paper man, and sure enough, he saw a hexagram on the back of the paper man, and he said: "I found it, this evil hexagram on the corpse and the stone is placed here." ”
The old man said: "Then there should be a paper figure corresponding to the stone here, this diviner is using the method of arguing the corpse to split a murderous hexagram into two, and then put it on the corpse and the stone, so in the haunted house, you can't find any trace of the diviner." ”
I asked, "Is it the paper figure with Huang Quansha hidden in its body, and it also has my birth date on its body at that time?" ”
Yiyang said: "It's not that, that's not the method of arsoning the corpse, there should be a paper man similar to this paper man here, as long as you find this paper man, maybe you can go to the murder hexagram on your body." ”
Hearing Yiyang say this, I said, "There is no longer a murderous hexagram on me." ”
I didn't say it just now, and Yiyang and the old man didn't find out, when I stared at the statue of the Earth Demon Heavenly Master and entered that strange place, I woke up again and felt that the three evil hexagrams of the Earth Yin on my body were gone. Yiyang checked it, looked at the old man in surprise and said, "Grandpa, it's indeed gone." ”
The old man was also surprised, and he asked me, "Stone, don't you know what's going on?"
I said, "I have a feeling that this post-murder trigram is not for my life, but just to bring me here." ”
The old man and Yiyang glanced at each other when they heard it, but they didn't speak, probably they also felt strange, it was obviously exactly the same scene as Yiyang's third uncle at the beginning, how could his third uncle end up with a tragic death, and it seemed to be just a mark on me.
Yiyang said, "Since this is the case, then it is even more necessary to find this paper figure to know what the truth is." ”
And there is not much place to hide here, there is nothing else except this paper figure, at this time Yiyang looked upstairs and asked, "Is it upstairs?"
So we went upstairs again, but there was no so-called paper figure upstairs, but we saw a coffin, and unlike the usual, it was an iron coffin. Hung by four chains, more than a foot above the ground. When we saw the coffin, we all looked at each other, and I felt that this should be the secret of this three-story building.
This was originally a cemetery, and it was not uncommon to have coffins, but iron coffins were not common, and I asked the old man, "Is there any way to use iron coffins?"
The old man was silent for a moment and said: "Generally, the unjustly killed person or the deceased is too resentful before his death, he will use an iron coffin to contain the corpse, because it is recorded in ancient books that iron does not pass through yin and yang, but the soul belongs to yin, in order to prevent such a person from gathering resentment after death, so the coffin is made of iron and the corpse is packed inside, so as to achieve the purpose of isolating yin and yang, isolating the yin qi, the resentment of the corpse cannot be gathered, and naturally there can be no further harm." ”
I gasped and said, "Could it be that this man is a man who died unjustly?"
The old man said: "There is a high probability that it is, you see that this iron coffin is hanging in the air, even if it has been isolated from yin and yang with iron tools, but for the sake of insurance, it still does not touch the earth's qi, which means that the person who does this is very careful, for fear that the people in the coffin will absorb the yin qi because of a little negligence." ”
As the old man was talking, I felt something change around us, and then I said, "Look at the ground. ”
If I'm not mistaken, there was no such thing when I first came in, but just as we were talking, a hexagram appeared under the coffin, and if I am not mistaken, this hexagram on the ground is the three evil hexagrams of the earth!
The old man and Yiyang also saw it, and at that moment they all looked at me together, and I heard the old man say: "This is the three evil hexagrams of the earth yin on your body." ”
Before the old man's words fell, he only heard a "bang", and the chain that was originally hanging from the iron coffin suddenly broke, and he only heard "bang" With a sound, one of the corners of the coffin has fallen to the ground, and the iron coffin is in contact with the three evil hexagrams of the earth yin on the ground, only to see the three murderers wrapping around the coffin like vines, and then the continuous chain breaking sound came out of order, and finally this special coffin completely fell to the ground, and when the last chain was broken and the coffin fell to the ground, the coffin also fell from the coffin, and I saw that the entire three evil hexagrams of the earth yin were gathered towards the coffin, as if it was absorbed.
After that, there was no movement.
The whole upstairs was as silent as death, even I could clearly hear my own heartbeat, and the three of us were stunned as if we were stupid, it took a while to come back to my senses, the first thing I did when I came back to my senses was not to leave quickly, but to walk to the coffin, and also shouted at me, I didn't respond, until I came to the coffin, I saw a person lying in the coffin, the first thing I saw was his face, only to see that his face was an iron mask like an earth-shattering heavenly master.
When I saw this mask, my head seemed to be broken, and a scene appeared in my memory, it was an identical mask of the Earthshatter Celestial Master, hidden in the deepest part of my memory.
So I reached out to the iron mask, intending to take it off.
