Xu Wan also saw the woman's strange walking posture, but for her, more things are worse than less things, she even pressed Tongtong's head to keep her from looking back, and reminded the winter solstice in a low voice: "You lock the door when you go to bed at night. it is good."
Winter Solstice nodded: "Sister Xu, you too, it's not easy to go out with Tongtong. If you have any urgent matters, just knock on my door."
Xu Wan smiled gently: "Thank you."
Back in the room, Winter Solstice didn't pay too much attention to the woman. He had encountered enough strange things along the way, and he didn't care about one more.
He took out the yellow paper and cinnabar brush he bought on the way back, mixed the cinnabar with mineral water, and began to learn to draw Mingguang Talisman with great interest.
According to He Yu, when blending cinnabar, it is better to use mineral water than tap water, because mineral water contains more minerals and is closer to nature.
Drawing talismans is actually a way of communicating the heaven and earth with talismans using people as the medium. Paper is made of wood, which itself belongs to wood, but the color of yellow paper also represents soil. Earth is located in the middle of the five elements, and it takes the righteousness of heaven and earth, and cinnabar itself is fire, and cinnabar mixed with water also contains water properties. , which is almost a collection of five element attributes.
According to He Yu, some people will deliberately add gold powder to the cinnabar, so that the five elements are complete, intertwined, and endless, achieving the effect of truly subduing demons and subduing demons. However, when he said this, he had a smile on his face, and Dongzhi thought that it was more likely that he was lying.
In fact, the winter solstice did not have much expectations for the effectiveness of runes. He was mainly interested in drawing runes. Out of his profession and hobby, he simply equated drawing runes with "complete a painting". He also believed that the ancient Chinese culture of runes was the reason why It can be circulated for so many years, there must be its charm.
The ancient ancestors linked painting with subduing demons and put them into practice, while He Yu opened a door to this mysterious world for him.
The excited winter solstice couldn't stop. He drew hundreds of pictures in one breath, and picked out the two most satisfying ones, folded them into triangles according to the method taught by He Yu, and put them in his pockets.
Looking at the time again, two hours have passed. He is sweating profusely and hungry, like running a 10,000-meter marathon.
He thought to himself that he was fortunate to have brought back a late-night snack, tidied up the table, played with his mobile phone to solve the salt and pepper duck tongue, and was about to take a bath when he heard a knock on the door.
Through the cat's eyes, the winter solstice saw Xu Wan.
Xu Wan held Tongtong with a look of embarrassment.
"Xiaodong, haven't you slept yet? I want to go downstairs to buy something to eat. Can I put Tongtong with you first? I'll be back in a few minutes and leave her alone in the room. I'm not at ease."
She spoke softly, even if she refused, it would be fine, but this kind of effort, Dongzhi readily agreed: "Okay, let Tongtong sit with me for a while!"
The two exchanged a few words, and Xu Wan was about to go out when there was a sudden movement of shattering glass outside, and after a while, there was another muffled sound of heavy objects falling to the ground.
It was already ten o'clock at night, almost eleven o'clock at night. The hotel is located behind the commercial street in the city center. You can faintly hear the lively movement on the commercial street, but it is not particularly noisy. off, it's quieter.
But the windows were not closed on the winter solstice, so after the muffled sound, they heard screams from downstairs.
The shrill screams penetrated the night, and even spread into the room on the ninth floor, causing the winter solstice to shudder.
He and Xu Wan looked at each other, and they both walked to the window to look down, and saw that a person was lying on the ground, and a dark liquid slowly snaked out from under his head.
A lot of onlookers have gathered downstairs, but most of them dare not approach. Maybe someone called the police. When they were in a daze on the winter solstice, the siren had already come from the commercial street.
Xu Wan suddenly covered his mouth in panic and stammered: "That person is good, seems to have jumped from the next room..."
The winter solstice also found out, not only that, but looking down from here, he also felt that the man was a little familiar.
In order to prove his guess, he sent Xu Wan's mother and daughter back to the room, and went downstairs to the hotel lobby.
The news of someone jumping off the building quickly spread, and there were many people standing at the entrance of the hotel, most of them were hotel guests, as well as hotel security and lobby managers. , the two little girls at the front desk couldn't be busy at all.
The winter solstice stood behind the crowd, but he still used the clothes on the other person to identify that it was the woman he just passed by in the corridor!
Jumping down from the ninth floor, one of the conspicuous red high-heeled shoes was still on the other's feet, and the other was scattered not far away. Letting his eyes away from this uncomfortable scene, his hand involuntarily touched the Mingguang Talisman in his pocket.
I don't know if it's a psychological effect, but the winter solstice feels that my emotions are really calming down, and I'm not so scared anymore.
The police arrived quickly, began to surround the cordon, and asked the hotel staff. The winter solstice did not continue to stay to watch the fun, but hurried upstairs and went back to the room.
At this time, it would be too much trouble to change hotels, but he plans to leave early tomorrow morning.
As soon as he lay down, the police came knocking on the door.
They had obviously learned that the deceased lived in the room next to the Winter Solstice, and they came up to inquire about the situation. They told everything about the Winter Solstice 1510, and even mentioned the strange behavior of the other party when they encountered each other in the corridor. No, most of them committed suicide. In fact, the police came up to ask him routinely, registered his phone number and ID number, and sealed up the room where the accident happened for further investigation.
Not long after, the winter solstice faintly heard a knock on the door next door. It was estimated that Xu Wan's mother and daughter were also questioned.
He rolled on the bed for a long time before falling asleep. Before going to bed, he deliberately turned on the light in the bathroom. I don't know if it was a psychological effect. It also felt like someone was standing beside the bed, but every time the other party wanted to get close, they seemed to be separated by an invisibility. In the end, they could only stand there staring at the winter solstice not far or near, and their eyes became more and more resentful.
The winter solstice felt something in my heart, but I was so tired that I couldn't open my eyelids at all, and I even forgot when I finally lost consciousness and fell asleep completely.
The first thing he did when he woke up the next day was to reach into his pocket and fetch the amulet, only to find that the bright light amulet turned completely black from its brand-new appearance yesterday.
The winter solstice was very frightened, and the only explanation was that maybe something really wanted to get close to him last night, and the rune had an effect, but it was also "sacrifice".
Fortunately, there was only one left yesterday, and he didn't bother to toss any more. He just took it out from his backpack, then simply packed his luggage and went downstairs to check out.
When he went out, he deliberately looked back at the room where the accident happened. The door was closed tightly and the outside was sealed.
The winter solstice wanted to knock on the door and ask them if they had encountered any strange things last night, but on second thought, asking them only added to the troubles for others. If Xu Wan felt something was wrong, he would naturally check out and change hotels.
After what happened last night, the hotel already has experience today. For guests who want to check out, they will handle it without saying a word. The number of security guards in the hotel lobby has also increased from two to four, standing at the door like a formidable enemy. For reporters who want to take photos and interviews in the near future.
After leaving the hotel, he went straight to the train station on the winter solstice. After what happened, he was a little bit reluctant to take the train, but the journey went smoothly and nothing happened.
That evening, he arrived at Baihe Station, commonly known as Erdao Baihe.
On the winter solstice, I randomly found a hotel next to the station to rest for the night. After leaving the hotel, all kinds of weird things seemed to stay away, which finally made people breathe a sigh of relief.
Early the next morning, the Winter Solstice found a group that was going to Changbai Mountain, gave the fare, and hitched a ride.
He found an empty seat at the back and sat down. The girl next to him took the initiative to say hello to him. The two chatted a few words. During the winter solstice, he learned that the other party's name was Zhang Xing. He had just graduated from college. He originally signed up with a friend to play. She quit because she had something to do, and she had already paid the money, so she had to come alone. Fortunately, the team was all young people, and the team leader was very caring.
It was only during the winter solstice that he knew that, except for himself, all members of a tour group in the car were preparing to go on an outdoor trip to Changbai Mountain.
