2. Interpret hexagrams
I found out that there was no one else in his family except his grandfather, and I realized that he had only mentioned his grandfather all along, but not the rest of his family, because there were only two people in the family, his grandfather and him.
His grandfather was indeed demented as he said, even when he saw us come in, he didn't react, it seemed that even he didn't recognize him, I saw him leaning over his grandfather's side and shouting several times, his grandfather seemed to have a slight reaction, but instead of looking at him but at me, and then he called out a name: "Three boys." ”
I don't know if the third boy he called was this person's nickname, but he quickly explained to me: "My name is not the third boy, my name is Yiyang, and the third boy is my third uncle, but I haven't met him because my third uncle died when he was fifteen years old." ”
Then I saw the old man stand up, although his mind was confused, but his body was very strong, I saw that he kept walking towards me, but when he came to me, suddenly his face became fierce, and then I heard him shout: "It's you again!"
The old man suddenly shouted and startled me, but before I could react, he looked left and right as if he was looking for something: "Where is my hexagram?"
Before I could understand it, I saw that Yiyang had already gone to get something, and then I saw that he seemed to have taken three copper coins to the old man, only to see the old man skillfully twist the three copper coins in his hand, close his eyes and mutter something, and then threw the three copper coins on the ground with a snort.
I heard the crisp sound of the copper coin falling to the ground, I didn't understand what the old man was doing, Yiyang told me that the old man had just completed the hexagram and divination, and now the ground is the first line, and the sixth line can become a hexagram.
Sure enough, I saw the old man go back and forth six times, and each time I saw this person write down the hexagram, and after the six lines were over, the old man suddenly shouted loudly again: "It's him!"
At this time, I felt that the old man seemed to be suddenly not confused, after he shouted, I saw him go to the middle of the room and take out a stick-like thing, but it looked like a piece of paper, he took it and hit me when he came to me, I didn't know why I just wanted to hide, I heard Yiyang say: "Don't hide, my grandfather is helping you break the hexagram." ”
Normally I would have thought it was a neurosis, but now I believe it, and more importantly, the paper stick didn't hurt at all, but I could clearly feel the sound of something shattering, like an illusion.
After the old man called angrily, he returned to the chair and continued to sit down, as if he had changed back to that confused look, and I asked Yiyang: "This is solved?"
Who knows that Yiyang shook his head: "No." ”
I asked, "Didn't untie it?"
Yiyang said: "This hexagram on your body is exactly the same as the hexagram on my third uncle, my grandfather showed me the six hexagrams on my third uncle, which is exactly the same as the one you just divided." ”
I asked, "Your third uncle is also because of the murderous hexagram...... Dead?"
Yiyang said: "Since it is the same, then I understand, my grandfather said that my third uncle died seven days after the death of the former murderer, and when he had more than half of the murderous hexagram on his body, he also came back barefoot, and later it was after my third uncle died, and my grandfather found out that the shoes on his feet were also worn on the former murderer who had died." ”
I said, "Exactly like mine!"
After listening to this, I felt that my whole body suddenly softened, and I sat down on the ground, and Yiyang said: "It is precisely because the situation in the haunted house is almost the same as that of my third uncle, that I paid more attention to it, but this half of the evil hexagram on your body is inexplicable, obviously not when you came, but you ...... when you enter the haunted house."
When he said this, Yiyang suddenly seemed to think of something, and then looked at me and said, "You should have seen someone on the second floor." ”
I said, "All I saw was ghosts, no one else. ”
What I want to express is that I didn't see any strange people, but Yiyang said: "This diviner is at the scene, since he said that a murderous hexagram was split into the former and the latter hexagram, then there must be some plan, the young man who died will not die for no reason, there must be something in him, we have to go back to the haunted house." ”
After saying that, he pulled me away, I didn't understand it, I could only follow him, I glanced at his demented grandfather, but saw that when I was pulled away by Yiyang, the old man's eyes looked at me stunned, but he didn't look like a demented person, but there was something flashing in his eyes, which made me feel startled for no reason.
But soon I was dragged out of his house by Yiyang and returned to the haunted house.
When we returned to the haunted house, the patrol had already come, and the haunted house was also sealed, and it was isolated with a thread, and Yiyang pulled me into the haunted house from a corner, avoiding everyone's sight, and entered the haunted house through the small door. When we came inside, the people inside were being questioned, but because of the complex structure of the haunted house and the number of rooms, we avoided the sight of the patrol and came to the second floor, and the corpse was patrolling and checking the corpse, we couldn't get close to the corpse, so we could only watch from a distance through the room, I asked Yiyang: "We can't get close to the corpse, how can we explore?"
Yiyang said: "Do you pay attention, the shoes on the corpse's feet, that is, your shoes, are gone. ”
I saw that the corpse was not wearing anything on its feet, and my shoes were inexplicably gone, and I said, "Could it be that the patrol found that the shoes were not his, so they were taken off?"
Yiyang didn't speak, but was thinking about something with his forehead on his lean, and then I heard him say, "I'm afraid things are a little bad." ”
I asked, "What's wrong?"
Yiyang said, "What if this young man came without shoes on, and he came barefoot?"
What is the reason for not wearing shoes, and a young man comes to a haunted house to play without shoes, what is this new way of playing, I asked, "Why?"
Yiyang said: "The problem is in those shoes, this person was not a normal person when he came, he came in with a murderous hexagram." ”
I asked, "But didn't you say ......it before?"
Yiyang looked at me and interrupted me with his eyes, and I heard him say, "If that's the case, it's the worst, because if you say that, he's coming for you, and I ask you, why did you come to this haunted house to play?"
I said, "It's a few of my friends who want to come and play and pull me along." ”
Yiyang asked me, "How many friends do you have, are you very good friends?"
I said, "It's not very good, but it's okay." ”
Yiyang said, "What if one of these friends of yours is going to harm you?"
I wanted to deny it immediately, but I didn't, but I was stunned for a moment, and I asked, "Why do you think so?"
Yiyang said: "I felt something strange when a group of you came, there is a person with slightly longer hair among you, wearing a black dress, is he on good terms with you?"
Although Yiyang's description is more abstract, except for Xuan Ran, everyone else in us has short hair, and he is the only one with long hair, and he does wear a black long sleeve today, I said: "Yes Xuan Ran, he and I are indeed better." ”
Yiyang said: "At that time, I noticed that there was something strange about him, but I can't tell what was strange, now I think about it, it is his body with traces of the evil hexagram, and this trace is obviously the clue of the diviner, if I guess correctly, the evil hexagram on this young man's body was given by him, and then he came in and transferred the other half of the evil hexagram to you." ”
I was stunned, and I said, "Is it Xuanran? ”
Yiyang also said to himself: "But what is his purpose? If there is any contradiction with you, then he can directly create signs that you are scared to death, after all, it is natural to be scared to death in this place, but he chose to let this young man die, leaving you with a murderous hexagram, what does he want to do?"
