This sentence almost made me jump out of bed, let alone the question of whether you can dismantle such a huge house there, if we do the work without Liuzhi’s promise, in case we get a lawsuit , we will lose big. I quickly put on my clothes and chased him out. Fortunately, Qin Yiheng didn't walk very fast. I ran and bumped and finally stopped him on the side of the road. I originally wanted to persuade him to calm down, but nothing worked, so I had no choice but to follow him into a taxi. We first hired seven or eight workers near the decoration market, and then hired a van, and the two cars drove back to the house at high speed.

After one night, standing in front of this yard again, no matter how strong the sun is, my mood is still depressed. Qin Yiheng directed the workers to knock and beat in the yard, not knowing what they were busy with. I walked to the side of the house and tried to knock on the wall with my hand. This house must have cost a lot of money when it was being built, and it is absolutely impossible that there is a problem with the tofu dregs project, so even if the few of them put all their energy into feeding, I don't think they can break a wall, let alone Dig the whole house three feet into the ground. Thinking of this made me feel relieved, so I found a place where the sun was very comfortable to smoke.

When the cigarette was almost smoked, I suddenly heard a worker inside shouting, boss, I dug it. I suddenly became curious, could it be that Qin Yiheng did everything possible to come back because he figured out what treasure was buried under this house yesterday

I leaned over to have a look, only to find that what was dug out looked like a stone statue, but more than half of the stone statue was still in the soil, and I couldn't tell what it was carved. Qin Yiheng commanded several workers to work together to dig out the stone statue and place it in the yard.

I just walked up to have a look, and the stone statue is not very big, only about half a meter. The color of the stone is not bad, and it should not be very old by feeling, but I can't tell what it is carved.

Just looking at the head, it looks a bit like a dragon, but the body is crooked like a pug. This form is a bit ridiculous and has no artistic beauty. However, lack of aesthetic feeling does not mean that it is worthless. I thought to myself, if this is an antique, such a well-preserved and strange-shaped thing, if it is put on the auction market, it will definitely fetch a high price.

Just as I was thinking about it, several workers worked together to lift another statue. The statue was covered with a lot of dirt, and it was quite gray. I took off my coat and dusted the dirt off the statue, so I could see it in its entirety.

This statue is as much a failure in style as the first one dug up. This one even outrageously replaced the dragon's body with a big fish with an upturned tail. This reminds me of a famous sphinx and mermaid in Singapore. In a word, it looks unspeakably weird.

After seeing two statues in a row, my doubts became even greater. I turned my head to look at Qin Yiheng. He was still instructing the workers to continue digging in the yard. The whole yard had been completely changed by them.

I asked Qin Yiheng what these two things were. He didn't answer, but just told me that I would know when everything was dug out.

Judging from his tone, it seemed that there were more than one or two, and my curiosity was completely aroused. Anyway, I didn't need to help, I was at ease, so I just stood by and supervised the work.

Since the first two statues were unearthed, subsequent excavations seem to have gone much smoother. I watched statues being dug up one after another, and the land in the yard had been cleared enough to grow crops directly. At first, I was interested in examining those statues carefully, but after seeing a few of them, I became less and less interested, and simply went back to the car and closed my eyes to rest. After about an hour, when I returned to the yard, the statue had almost been excavated, and several workers were working together to move the last one out.

After the last statue was erected, Qin Yiheng stood in front of the row of statues, silent for a long time. I stood by and watched for a long time, thinking that he was brewing some emotions to explain the origin of these statues to me, but who knew that he would not look back after a long time. I went over and patted him, and then he slowly turned his head to look at me, his expression was so serious that it was almost like a statue.

I never thought that his face could be so stiff. I had sunbathed enough before, and my mentality had been adjusted to be quite leisurely. Still chills.

Then the shock that Qin Yiheng told me brought to me can no longer be described in words. I always thought that I had been in this business with him for so long, and I already knew something about magic arts, but in fact, I was too observant. I never thought that there are so many unbelievable things in this world. Ways to help mankind achieve such ulterior motives.

Standing in the sun, Qin Yiheng first brushed over the nine statues one by one, then he stopped in front of the last statue that was dug out and asked me, do you know what this is

I shake my head.

The workers on the side didn't have much interest in these statues, but we hadn't paid them their wages yet, so we had no choice but to stand by and see me shaking my head, so they all shook their heads.

This is Pixiu, Qin Yiheng looked at me and said.

Pixiu is a thing that generates wealth and wards off evil spirits. It is usually placed on the desk, and many literati also choose to use it as a paperweight. If a single one is placed here, it must have the function of town house and wealth collection, but here are nine...

Qin Yiheng pointed to the other eight in turn with his finger, saying, these are Bixi (bìxì), Chiwen, Biyan (bì'àn), Pulao, Taotie, Yazi, Suānní, Jiaotu.

As the saying goes, a dragon has nine sons, each of which is different. These nine are the so-called nine sons, and they usually don't get together. In architecture or life, they will be scattered and placed in different places and positions. However, there are actually nine sons buried under this building, and they are surrounded by each other at equal distances. This is not accidental, but was deliberately buried here. Let me boldly assume that the person who buried these things in the yard was the one who killed the young man in the house before, and he had only one purpose in doing so. Qin Yiheng paused, as if hesitating to speak out.

He has only one purpose in doing this, which is to restrain the real dragon with nine sons. The young man who died in this mansion before must be the reincarnation of the so-called real dragon, destined to be the emperor. But killing him, dismembering his body, letting his soul disperse in this house, and using such a vicious method to suppress his soul and prevent him from being reincarnated, the purpose and method are really chilling, the most important thing is... Qin Yiheng's tone suddenly sank.

We fell for it this time. Someone designed this formation for us to break. Now, I don’t know what the consequences will be after the formation is broken. Presumably from the very beginning when the six fingers contacted us, we have already been put into it. In the trap.

After Qin Yiheng finished speaking, he subconsciously wanted to take a cigarette out of his pocket. Seeing this, I quickly threw my cigarette to him. He nodded and took a deep breath. I also wanted to take out a cigarette, but found that my hands were trembling uncontrollably. I try to take a deep breath, because only in this way can I relax myself. I looked at Qin Yiheng, he seemed to be trying to stabilize his emotions. The whole scene is very similar to the moment of waiting for the charge before the decisive battle in American movies.

I saw a few workers next to me also stunned, and I don't know if they really understood what Qin Yiheng said, or if they were completely overwhelmed by the abnormal momentum of the two of us. I patted my face, maybe things were complicated by us, maybe after the formation was broken, it was just that the real dragon could be reincarnated, it didn't have much to do with the two of us. But after thinking about it, I feel wrong. If this is the case, then why did Six Fingers lead us to break this formation? Could it be that he can't break it by himself? I looked around the yard, and nothing happened when the workers were digging the statue, so this formation does not require any special alchemy means to break it, just find a few young and strong workers carrying shovels, and it can be done no matter what up.

I sorted out my thoughts and wanted to analyze the context of the matter. First of all, I have to figure out a question, who put my birthday horoscope under the statue of Zhong Kui, and how did he get it.

Looking back on the details of that night, it should have been a total trick to lure Qin Yiheng and me away, and then push down the statue of Zhong Kui in the chaos, so that we could find the coffin board that was pressed underneath. Then, the other party must have treated us They understood it very well, because they dared to conclude that Qin Yiheng would turn over the entire yard because of that coffin board, thus breaking the Jiuzi Town True Dragon Formation in the yard. However, what we will face after that, I have no idea at all. However, the more I think about it, the more certain I am that Liuzhi is with the person that night, and he is even one of the participants in the implementation.

I told Qin Yiheng my analysis, and he agreed. It's just that everything is still unclear now, and we can only take one step at a time. Qin Yiheng dismissed the workers and took a few steps in the yard, but still didn't seem to have a clue, so the two of us had to go back to the hotel first.

When we got back to the hotel, Qin Yiheng and I took turns calling Liuzhi numerous times, but we were still prompted to shut down the phone. We even called Yuan Zhen, but there was only Liuzhi on Yuan Zhen's phone number that couldn't get through.

I was very nervous all the time, however, the strange thing is that from that night until we decided to leave, everything was calm and nothing strange happened. I think, even Qin Yiheng didn't expect this. A few days ago, his expression was still very gloomy. After a few days, he saw that there was no abnormal phenomenon, and he used a water bowl to test that there were no evil things around us. , also feel relieved.

Although those questions have not been answered, life still has to go on as usual. Occasionally, a little uneasiness still surges in my heart, and I always feel that we have embarked on a path designed by others. I don't know if I was frightened, but in short, although I didn't get sick after returning home, my body was much weaker. I turned off the phone and rested at home completely and peacefully for a few days. During this period of time, I thought about a lot of things. To be honest, I seriously thought about it for a long time. Can this business continue? On the one hand, I feel that my current income and small business are on the right track, and I am not short of money to spend; however, on the other hand, I feel that the previous days were not so scary. It seems that the money is very easy to earn in hindsight of.

Looking back on that house, to be honest, I was a little bit reluctant. If you want to take advantage, you will fall into the trap. It seems that this is true. After going through such unimaginable things, I still regret that this house was not taken down. Later, I carefully recalled the black shadow I saw that night, and the memory was even more blurred than what I saw at the time. I think it may be because I went to the temple that night, the yin energy was too heavy, so maybe what I saw was just a lonely ghost.

Qin Yiheng came to me several times during my recuperation period, and the conversations were basically his new ideas on that matter. In conclusion, even I think few are reliable, so there is no need to repeat them here up. But one thing he said impressed me deeply, but I can't verify the authenticity. He told me that the human soul can also be cut off, which is why the young man was mutilated. This is also well-documented in the scientific community, but today's science cannot come up with a reasonable explanation. I have seen some related reports on TV. Many amputee people will suddenly feel a strong pain in the limbs that have been amputated. Some of this pain is continuous, and some are intermittent. However, they The painful leg or hand is no longer there. The pain cannot be relieved by the current medical methods, but it can only be relieved by painkilling injections.

And the most outrageous thing is that many patients not only feel pain, but also have other sensations (such as feeling cold, hot, itchy, etc.), and the most amazing thing is that there are some very peculiar cases.

Most of the amputated limbs should be incinerated, but there are also some hospitals that want to save money and discard the limbs as medical waste. There was once a patient who often felt that the amputated leg was unbearably cold after the amputation operation, and then, under his repeated strong requests, he actually found his severed limb in the trash can , has been frozen stiff. Qin Yiheng said that this makes sense in metaphysics. It is not difficult for us to find out in many film and television dramas or heard rumors that many people who were disabled when they were alive, or who were disabled when they died, why their souls remain disabled after death. This is why Because the soul of the corresponding part of the body has been separated from the body. It seems a little cumbersome to say this. To use a simpler analogy, it is like a blister being split.
