Haunted Houses’ Chronicles

Chapter 23: Invert the tripod

Views:

This sound scared me so much, I almost jumped down the stairs head-on, I didn't care about the thread in my hand or anything else. As soon as he stepped down half a flight of stairs, he saw that Qin Yiheng had already climbed to the fifth and a half floors. I didn't bother to talk to him, I just ran downstairs with all my might. When I went down the stairs, my foot didn't sprain and broke, and I didn't care about the pain, so I kept running desperately down.

Until I ran out of the unit door and ran for more than 30 meters by inertia, I didn't know whether I was scared or tired, so I collapsed on the ground and began to breathe heavily. It wasn't until I was out of breath that I realized that Qin Yiheng was still upstairs, so I quickly glanced at the corridor door, but he didn't come out.

I thought it was broken, I ran out, he couldn't have had an accident, right

I was very worried when I thought about it, but I didn't dare to go back rashly, so I could only walk back to the door of the unit and look inside. Of course I couldn't see him, but when I lowered my head, I saw that the starch that Qin Yiheng had paved at the door of the unit before had been messed up when I ran out just now.

I squatted down and took a closer look. There were my hastily big footprints on it, but there was still half of them facing the corridor. Judging from the starch, the soles of the shoes have no texture, but they look like the kind of cloth shoes that many old men and women like to wear in the old society.

As soon as I thought about it, my hairs immediately stood on end. Damn, Qin Yiheng is so capable? Did you really lead the dirty things into the building? Although I still believe in Qin Yiheng's ability, but now he is alone on the top, and there is no movement for a long time, I think it is necessary to go up and have a look.

I lit a cigarette as a way to embolden myself, and I didn't dare to hesitate too much, for fear that I wouldn't dare to continue going up halfway, so I could only take big strides up. When I got to the fifth floor, I stopped and pricked up my ears to hear what happened on the sixth floor. But it was so quiet up there that I couldn't even feel Qin Yiheng's breathing. I thought to myself, is he holding his breath because of something? If this is the case, if I rashly come up, am I holding him back? But after thinking about it again, he felt that he still had to go up. What if he went into shock because of something

I took a deep breath, and it was considered a fight. With a sudden effort, I went up to the sixth floor in a few steps. After I stood still, I immediately turned on the lighter to look. Now I was even more confused, the sixth floor was actually empty. I took a picture down, and even the red line I lost on the ground was gone.

It was only then that I realized that I hadn't noticed the problem with the red line all the way, so Qin Yiheng must have taken it away. I just went downstairs, even if I went out of the unit door, I would not pay attention to whether anyone came out of the unit for a short time, but if Qin Yiheng came out, he would definitely call me. If we analyze it this way, he must still be in this building. Now there is only one possibility. Just now, because of the red line, we discovered the problem of this house, and the village head gave us the keys to all the houses in their house. Maybe he is now in a certain room.

When I thought about this, my heart was relieved, and I lay down on a door on the sixth floor and listened closely, but there was no movement in the room. I knocked on the door directly, thinking that if I just knocked down the floors, even if I couldn't find him, I would probably be able to see him outside on the first floor.

Who knew that after I knocked a few times, I heard Qin Yiheng calling my name, but the voice was not from inside the door, but above me.

As soon as I looked up, I saw Qin Yiheng poking out half of his face from the hole on the top of the building. This type of 6+1 type of house generally requires an iron railing nailed to the wall to go through a small hole to climb to the top of the building, rather than the kind that many high-rise buildings can directly walk up from the stairs. , so I didn't pay attention before, and I was nervous and my vision was limited, so I couldn't find it.

I climbed up with Qin Yiheng's strength and followed behind him. I didn't walk very far before I saw a round object on the ground, and I couldn't tell what it was for a while. Qin Yiheng pointed with his finger and said that all the problems of the village head's family were caused by this thing.

After hearing what he said, I became even more curious, and squatted down to look directly. This thing is not big, about the size of a basketball, and it should be considered bronze in terms of texture, but I can't confirm it without touching it with my hands. It might be a plastic thing, and I don't know how Qin Yiheng buckled that thing in. Thinking about it this way, I couldn't help reaching out to touch it. Qin Yiheng pushed me quickly and said, why don't you always have a long memory? The thing that was following you just now is buckled under this tripod. You opened it and got entangled. I don't have the energy to save you.

Now that he has talked about this, I can only stay away from this thing, take a step back and continue to look at it, and ask, what is this thing

He snorted before saying, this thing is called Qianjin Ding. The Qianjin Ding mentioned here is not the one that tops the car. The reason why it is called Qianjin usually means that a thousand copper coins can be placed in a tripod. This is used for seeking wealth and gathering wealth in Fengshui. They are all placed in the main hall, or on the feng shui level of the entire house. There are usually big ones and small ones, and the big ones can be bigger than cars, but they are used in royal palaces, and ordinary people basically maintain this size. Now many merchants and companies will also place a similar kind of tripod, which also means to make a lot of money. In fact, the effect is not too obvious, similar to Lucky Cat and Money Toad, the psychological comfort is greater than the actual effect. But if this thing is placed here, things will go awry, because the houses downstairs are all arranged according to Feng Shui. The essence of heaven and earth circulates, rises from the ground, and turns towards the sky. It is basically a cycle, but now that the Qianjin tripod is buckled upside down on the roof, it is equivalent to directly sealing the flow of Fengshui, so it seems that every household below The feng shui of Feng Shui is all about luck, but in fact, it becomes a big disaster. This is also because we discovered it relatively early. If we can't solve it for a while, the village chief's family may have to die. This must have been carefully arranged by the so-called expert before. If either the layout of the downstairs or the tripod upstairs is not correct, this terrible situation cannot be achieved.

Hearing what Qin Yiheng said, I understood a little bit. Most likely, the village chief offended someone, was framed by someone, and made a special trip to deal with him. But using this method of alchemy as a means is too insidious.

Now that the truth has been revealed, I am even more curious about how to deal with the thing behind me that he said earlier.

Qin Yiheng said that it was easier, because first, I didn't look back at it, so it didn't rush my luck because of it. Some drivers may see something when they are driving at night, and they will see it when they see it, but remember not to look back. From a normal point of view, it is easy to get distracted when you look back, leading to a car accident, but from a metaphysical point of view, anyone who has seen dirty things will have bad luck, and those things also like to be in contact with people who see them. , This is also very easy to understand, they also hope to find someone who can communicate; second, he has locked that thing under the tripod now, and when tomorrow dawns, go to the surrounding villages to collect an old hemp Pocket, put it on, seal the mouth with a pen dipped in cinnabar, and burn it in a sunny place.

Hearing what he said, I finally felt relieved, and then asked him what he said about the red line before.

Qin Yiheng said, that would make it easier to understand. Starch is spread at the gate of the courtyard to see whether the object is big or small through footprints; and plum juice is very yin-inducing, and it is said that plum branches often accompany the body to attract Evil, dipping the red thread with plum juice can act as a guide to attract spirits, which probably paved a waypoint for those dead souls.

The whole grains in the middle can firstly ward off evil spirits, and secondly, they can pay homage to evil spirits. Although it is rare to hear of people dying of starvation in the current era, no one can guarantee that if a starving ghost is recruited, it is a very fierce thing. The stones at both ends are called soul-falling stones, which are only effective if they have been washed under the waterfall.

It seems that the matter has become clear, the thought that one million yuan has been obtained in this way, the previous fears have long since disappeared.

On the second day, we went to the villages around the county to collect a linen bag. This kind of thing is not common now, because they are all made of chemical fiber, so we haven’t found it for a while. Finally, it’s not easy. I found one, and bought it back for a hundred yuan. It's not that the lion opened his mouth, but that we gave Zhang a big bill directly in order to avoid bargaining. In Qin Yiheng's words, you can't bargain when buying things used to exorcise evil spirits. This is the same as when you go to the temple to burn incense. You can't ask people if a piece of incense can be cheaper. Don't say it, but sincerity is always right. After buying the pockets, we stopped for a while and waited patiently until the sun was at its fullest the next day. Then Qin Yiheng lifted the tripod, tied a loose buckle with a black thread, fiddled with the bottom of the tripod a few times, and removed the black tripod. The thread was tucked into the pocket, and the whole process was like performing pantomime. In my opinion, the black thread is not tied to anything, but I don't know if it is a psychological effect. After putting it in the bag, it feels like the bag is bulging, as if it contained something.

In the end, Qin Yiheng set a small fire on the roof of the building and burned the bag completely. I watched from the side, and I could still hear a creaking sound from the pocket when it was burning. I actually knew that some impurities might be burned, but when I think about it, I always feel like something is screaming.

After all this busy work was over, Qin Yiheng put away the tripod, and specially bought a sports crossbody and packed it. Seeing that he was going to take such an unlucky thing back home, I still felt something was wrong. But his attitude was very firm, saying that the tripod was pretty good-looking, and he was going to go home and choose a good place to put it up. I had nothing to do with him, so the two of them went to the village chief to return.

We briefly told the village chief what had happened. After hearing this, the village chief was also frightened for a while, and his face became a little gloomy. He was very happy, though, and promised to transfer the money to my account the next day. Qin Yiheng didn't seem to care much about the one million yuan. Instead, he asked about the previous expert's information.

The village head recalled it, and said that the man had no obvious physical features, but he was quite strong, not very tall, and he was smiling when he talked.

I'm actually not at all curious about that tall man, but Qin Yiheng's expression is a little weird. He lowered his head to ponder for a while, then suddenly raised his head and asked the village chief a question, is that tall man a six-finger

Hearing his question, I was also shocked, so I glanced at Qin Yiheng, seeing that his expression did not mean to be joking, so I turned my gaze back to the village chief's face, waiting for him to say the answer.

But the village chief didn't seem to have any impression of this, saying that he didn't pay attention to the opponent's hand at the time, so now we ask this question, and he can't answer it.

Qin Yiheng suddenly became very disappointed. I thought to myself, the development of this matter should not be so outrageous. The last time that Liuzhi lied to us to go to that villa to destroy a real dragon formation in Jiuzi Town, and now he ran to the house of a village chief who had nothing to do with him, and used the Feng Shui bureau to destroy his family? What is he thinking? If he did all this, what was the connection

I didn't see anything from Qin Yiheng's expression, and he didn't get the information he wanted to know from the village chief, so we simply ended the conversation and we were ready to set off home.

The village head was quite hospitable and wanted to keep us for a light meal, but Qin Yiheng refused. I left an account number with the village chief, and we headed straight to the airport. On the way to the airport, I asked Qin Yiheng why he would ask that tall man if he was Liuzhi.

Qin Yiheng shook his head, saying that he was just curious, because if he summed up his previous experiences, that Liuzhi must be a knowledgeable person, and it cannot be said that everyone in this industry knows each other, but at least they can know a thing or two about each other. He had never heard of Liuzhi before. It wasn't that his ears were wide-ranging, but that such a person with obvious characteristics would definitely spread some news. This kind of feng shui seems to be so simple that you only need to move the position of some furniture, arrange the position of the decorations, and adjust the matching colors. It seems that it is not much different from a home decoration designer, but if you look closely, you can’t do it without certain skills , so he guessed and asked, but he didn't get an answer.

I heard him say a lot of things, but I basically didn't listen to them. I don't know why, but when I came out of the village chief's house, I had intermittent tinnitus. I shook my head a few times to get better, but it would happen again after a while, but I didn't pay much attention to it, maybe it was because I didn't have a good rest these days. Just thinking about whether he should take some medicine like Liuwei Dihuang Wan when he went home, I remembered reading the advertisement that this was for treating tinnitus, but Qin Yiheng suddenly told the driver to turn around, saying that he could not go to the airport, and took the bus instead. I found out after asking the reason. He was worried that he might not be able to pass the security check with this tripod for a while.

Then I remembered that the tripod was still in his bag, so I begged him to take it out and let me have a look again. Qin Yiheng hesitated for a moment, but still did not agree, but moved the bag to his side.

I saw his posture, and thought to myself, could it be an antique? Then when you share the money with him later, this has to be counted in it! I didn't want to look at it any more.

It was a short journey by plane, but it was instantly extended by the four wheels of the bus, but there was still nothing to say along the way. Qin Yiheng has been sleeping since he got in the car, and I am also bored, so I can only play mobile games. When I was tired from playing, I also wanted to take a nap to refresh myself, but I found that the tinnitus seemed to be getting worse and worse. It was so severe that I couldn't hear any sounds around me.

I was a little scared, so I pushed Qin Yiheng to wake up and told him the matter.

He told me that this may be because I heard the voice of Burning the Soul, which blocked the true energy in my veins. He turned around and introduced a local doctor to me. After a few tinkerings, it was fine. After talking, he continued to sleep with his eyes closed. went.

Since he said there was no serious problem, I felt relieved and simply closed my eyes, but the ringing in my ears was so uncomfortable that I didn't fall asleep all the way. When the car entered the station, Qin Yiheng was almost asleep. We planned to take a taxi back, but my tinnitus was really uncomfortable, so he gave me an address and asked me to find a man named Liu Laizi. In fact, it was not the first time I had heard of this person, but it was the first time for me to talk about meeting him. I heard Qin Yiheng talk about Liu Zizi's ability before. It is said that he has folk remedies for treating various difficult and miscellaneous diseases, which is more capable than the genius doctor Xi Laile in the TV series. Qin Yiheng also gave examples of several classic cases cured by Cripple Liu, but I am not very interested, because I am not very optimistic about the credibility of this kind of folk prescription for curing diseases. I think if this folk recipe works, it will definitely attract pharmaceutical companies to develop related professional medicines based on this folk recipe. Businessmen are all profit-seeking, not to mention those who do big business must be people who can smell business opportunities, so I think it is impossible for them to turn a blind eye to the business opportunities of these folk remedies.
