Chapter 78: Six Yao Formation

Views:

Xiaolan heard something in Zhang Jianfeng's words, and when she hurriedly went over to take a look, she didn't know when she had turned to the fourth confession. It was made by the police who investigated the scene. The confession said that there were strange pieces of paper folded in the inner yard. Triangular objects were scattered around the house. There were strange talismans on the paper. There were also drawings of the talismans under the confession, which were crooked and twisted, like a few crawling snakes. Xiaolan carefully identified it and said: "What is this? Do you recognize this spell language?" Zhang Jianfeng shook his head and said: "No." Xiaolan said: "Bah, what did you say? I thought you said you If you recognize it, then you yourself will be the last witness." Zhang Jianfeng smiled and said: "It's not far off. Although I don't recognize this spell, I do recognize what this thing is." Xiaolan was surprised and happy: "Yes What?" Zhang Jianfeng said word by word: "It's the Six Yao Talisman of Zhongnan Mountain!"

"What?!" Xiaolan was so shocked that she almost jumped up: "What... what is going on?" Zhang Jianfeng sighed: "What else could be going on? Someone in Zhongnanshan must have intervened in the Sun family before and after the incident. . So I said that this last witness cannot be found by ordinary people. Just because such a big thing happened, did the person who intervened in Zhongnan Mountain never go back to investigate? This is not like the purpose of my mission. "It's gone." Xiaolan said nervously: "Then what should we do now?" Zhang Jianfeng said: "What can we do? Let's read through the case file first, and then I'll call the master and do a thorough investigation in Zhongnan Mountain and we'll find out." Two People then continued to read the following parts, which were all brutal confessions made by insignificant people. They did not have much effect on the inference of the case, so they skimmed through it and finished it.

The two came out of the illusion. Facing the anxious Xiao Qing, how could Xiao Lan dare to tell the truth? I was afraid that Xiao Qing would be frightened after hearing this. She only said that the police chief was unwilling to cooperate and would pester Yun Yun tomorrow. Zhang Jianfeng went back to the dormitory directly on the excuse that he was exhausted. Seeing that everyone in the dormitory had gone out to study, Zhang Jianfeng got out of bed, found the phone and started dialing Zhongnanshan. Gu Xinghan liked tranquility, so there was no telephone installed near the garden where he lived. Zhang Jianfeng called the mountain gate, and the little Taoist priest reported it to the head. Gu Xinghan came to pick him up again. Zhang Jianfeng waited for twenty-five minutes, and he couldn't help but He smiled bitterly and said, "It's my phone bill."

Gu Xinghan answered the phone and asked: "Is there something new about the soul-inducing lamp?" Zhang Jianfeng said hurriedly: "No, while the disciple was investigating the legend of the mourning hall classroom recently, he accidentally came into contact with another case that caused many harms. So I checked it out by the way. There are some things I don’t know, so I wanted to ask Master." Lone Star Han said: "What case is it?" Zhang Jianfeng said: "The tragedy of annihilation of thirty-six members of the Sun family." Lone Star Han laughed when he heard it. "It turns out this is the case, then I know what you are going to ask." Zhang Jianfeng said happily: "Master already knows? That's great, it takes no effort at all. Then please tell me, master, who intervened in the Sun family case back then." Which senior did I send?" Lone Xinghan smiled lightly and said, "It's me."

"What... what... what..." Zhang Jianfeng, who had always been sharp-tongued, suddenly found it so difficult to speak. It took him a long time to catch his breath: "Master intervened back then..." Lone Star Han said: "It can't be said that I was involved in this case. To be more precise, the Sun family should have found me before the incident and asked me to help them. I just did something." Zhang Jianfeng said: "Then Master should know what happened to the Sun family later." Lone Star Han said : "How could I not know about such a big thing? At that time, I wanted to rush over to find out more about it, but I happened to have something important to do and couldn't get away, so this matter has been postponed." Lone Xinghan said this Said that the smart Zhang Jianfeng suddenly realized that Gu Xinghan didn't say what the important thing was, and Zhang Jianfeng didn't ask, so he probably guessed it. What could be more important than human life? That can only be another legend that is more terrifying and has far-reaching influence. Cherry Blossom Road, these three words popped into Zhang Jianfeng's mind almost at the same time. Yes, the master must have received the order from his master before he rushed to the Sun family to help solve the legend of Sakura Road. After Cherry Blossom Road, the master saw through the world of mortals and escaped into Taoism, determined to live a pure life and never leave the mountain. Therefore, the master had no choice but to drag things out with the Sun family.

Just as he was thinking about it, Gu Xinghan was already there and sighed: "It must be fate, but I never thought that the case on my head would eventually fall to you to solve. In this case, you have helped me fulfill my wish." That's fine. Taoism takes saving people's livelihood as its own duty. If there can be one less injustice in the world, then there will be one less injustice." Zhang Jianfeng said hurriedly: "Disciple must obey the order. But master, can you tell the disciple the situation at that time." Lone Star Han He said: "I was about the same age as you at that time, and I was also on my way to school. I loved to play and often wandered around. One summer vacation, I didn't know why I ended up here. I heard about the Sun family." After hearing this, Zhang Jianfeng His nose was sore, and Gu Xinghan, a person who loved traveling around mountains and rivers, had no idea how much grief he had to go through to be able to stay in the small garden of Zhongnan Mountain for the rest of his life.

"At that time, I also became interested in the Sun family. I heard that the Sun family's grandfather was unwilling to build murals with images of hell. I intuitively believed that there was something wrong with their family. I originally wanted to sneak in and take a look. Who knew I was there? When I was wandering at the door, the Grand Master of the Sun family recognized me as a member of the magic world, and welcomed me in like a concierge. He was so polite that I felt embarrassed to sneak in." Zhang Jianfeng asked strangely: "How did you recognize me? What? Then the Grandpa of the Sun family doesn't know magic." "Well..." Gu Xinghan smiled slightly: "At that time, I liked to wear Taoist robes and wander around. I took the opportunity to ask the Grandpa of the Sun family, but the family was restless, and the people of the Sun family immediately There was a look of horror on my face, and I even said that my magic was powerful, and you could tell at a glance, and just asked me to pity them and save them. I smiled secretly in my heart, and without saying anything, I asked them if they had done anything bad before. When I said this When he said that, the face of Mr. Sun's family turned green, and he said, "Maybe I have already guessed it. What if I guessed it, and I am still hanging around in front of your door?" Come and take a look. It is my duty to save the common people, but you must also explain clearly what you did back then, so that I can think of a way to solve the problem. I saw that they were so afraid of something happening, and I thought there was nothing wrong with saying this. Who knows , the Sun family's lips trembled for a long time, but he asked me this sentence: 'Taoist priest, if something happens to my family, can one or two people be retained to continue the incense?'"

"I was stunned. I never expected that Mr. Sun's family would say this. Their family was actually prepared for unexpected events and was unwilling to tell the truth. I felt at that time that what they had done What happened must be extremely unusual and shameful, but they didn't want to say it, and I couldn't force the cow's head to drink water. I thought about it and asked: 'So, you actually knew that you were in danger?' The Grand Master of the Sun family sighed: "I knew it a long time ago. Reincarnation is a response, isn't it a joke? Our family has been in peace for thirty years, and it's not easy anymore. My family only worships Guanyin and not other gods. I just want to protect it." I am safe. It’s all my fault for being confused and making a mistake. Now I can’t go back.” I said, “Since I have been safe for thirty years, I’m afraid you have also thought of some ways to protect yourselves. I wonder if you can tell me about it.” The Grand Master of the Sun family said: "We also got the folk remedy from a Taoist priest. It said that we should hold a small ceremony every day, worship to the sky and offer food, and hold a grand ceremony in the inner courtyard on the fifteenth day of every month to recreate what we did back then." Things he had done. This way, he was able to guarantee peace for thirty years, but the Taoist priest said that this method could only guarantee thirty years at most. After thirty years, he would not dare to guarantee anything. My eyelids have been twitching lately. , I feel very panicked. Taoist Master, please save us. I heard that you are the number one disciple of Taoism.'"

"After hearing this, I feel a little relieved. It means that what they found is a true Taoist priest and what they seek is a true method. But this method also treats the symptoms rather than the root cause. The so-called worshiping to the sky is a repeat of what was done in the past. It's just a kind of confession. You can only ask God for forgiveness for a period of time, but it will be useless after a long time. I am very embarrassed. They are not willing to tell me the truth. I don't know where to start, but if I ask them, they will definitely Not to mention, later I thought of a compromise. I wanted to go into the inner courtyard, cast six-yao talismans, and temporarily set up a barrier. I just hoped that after a few people died, they would be enlightened and wake up. I never expected this to happen again. It was a tragedy that wiped out the family." Gu Xinghan seemed to regret his decision back then, sighing repeatedly. Zhang Jianfeng had been stunned for a long time. Why was the Sun family so determined to protect their privacy

"They looked embarrassed, and I said, if you are not even willing to let me enter the inner courtyard, then I am like a blind man, and I don't know how to help you solve the problem. I might as well leave. The Sun family had no choice but to agree. I went in and took a look. There was a very small yard at the end, and there was no flower garden. There were a lot of footprints on the floor, and I could tell that a lot of people often gathered here. There was a small ditch next to it, which gave off a stench. It was the smell of the rotten food that had been thrown away. I also saw a wooden table that was wiped clean, but there was dust on the table. I guessed that it was the incense table. I didn’t say anything about it, I just wandered around to see it. Let’s see if we find any clues. Huangtian paid off his hard work and finally let me find something abnormal. In the lower left corner of the incense table, I found a very bright liquid, not water, very crystal clear. I didn’t know what it was, so I quietly picked it. I hid a little bit, set up a six-yao formation for them, and then left to go to the school for a test. Later, the chemistry professor told me that the thing was mercury. The day after knowing the result, something happened to the Sun family. "

"Mercury?" Zhang Jianfeng exclaimed: "Master, I seem to know something." Lone Xinghan said: "I just guessed this, but I have no evidence and can't draw a conclusion. Since it's a coincidence, you took over. This case couldn't be better." Zhang Jianfeng was puzzled: "But it has been so long ago, and the people who knew about this matter are crazy and dead. Only the master's magic power is left to survive until now. This How do you ask me to investigate?" Lone Star Han smiled and said: "I'll teach you a way. I heard that although the Sun family moved to your place, some of them have been secretly sneaking back to the previous village. I guess there must be some secrets buried in that village. After all, what they do is done in the village. If you go over and take a look, you might be able to find something." Zhang Jianfeng said: "Disciple accepts the order, but in terms of the mourning hall classroom ..." Lone Star Han said: "If we can solve the Sun family's case in three days, then that's it. The Yin Qi in the mourning hall has weakened recently, and nothing will happen within three days. Just rest assured."

Zhang Jianfeng hung up the phone and immediately found Xiaolan. Xiaolan was very happy when she heard that there were clues: "In that case, you should go and investigate." After saying that, he found that Zhang Jianfeng's eyes were staring at him, and he was looking up and down. He asked himself: "What did I wear wrong today?" Zhang Jianfeng said leisurely: "Who persuaded me to take over this case in the first place?" Xiaolan said: "It's me, does handsome Zhang have any objections?" Zhang Jianfeng said Said: "Of course! When the critical moment comes, you pull away and just say lightly, 'Then you go and investigate.' What? I am your slave?" Xiaolan then heard Zhang Jianfeng's words asking her to follow him. He understood the meaning and quickly shook his head and said: "No, no, no, you don't know, our scandal has become extremely popular recently. If we don't see each other for two or three days like this, I probably won't be able to wash it out even if we jump into the Yellow River." Zhang Jianfeng said : "What's the point of not being clean? Do you think you can find someone to marry if you're clean?" Before he could finish his words, a stone fell from the sky. "Wow!" There was a scream, followed by a weak lament: "If you don't go, I won't investigate this case. It's up to you whether to go or not!"

The village where the Sun family made their fortune is called Baishui Village, which is the most common name. Because of the Sun family's case, even though the land here is fertile, no one dares to move in. Therefore, it has been abandoned for decades, and everywhere It was weeds with deep roots and loess that could roll down at any time. Zhang Jianfeng and Xiaolan trudged for two hours before entering the village. Those dilapidated low-rise buildings have not collapsed and are still standing there crookedly. Zhang Jianfeng said: "I wonder which room belongs to the Sun family?" Xiaolan said: "The Sun family was the last to move out of this village. Since they have become successful, they must have only packed a few important things and left most of the things behind." It's just thrown here. Let's see which room has the most bottles and jars, it's the Sun family's." Zhang Jianfeng smiled and said: "Look, it is indeed useful for me to bring you here."

The two of them found the house where the Sun family was without much effort. Zhang Jianfeng immediately hurriedly moved up and down. Xiaolan wondered: "What are you doing? Why do I feel that you are not here to investigate the case, but to dig for treasures." Zhang Jianfeng said. "That's right, I'm really looking for a treasure." Xiao Lan asked, "What treasure?" Zhang Jianfeng said, "Mercury. My master said that mercury was found in the inner courtyard of the Sun family where the ceremony was held." Xiao Lan said. : "Is your master a little too sensitive? Isn't it okay if someone accidentally dumped it? If we found the wrong angle at the beginning, our hard work would have been in vain." Zhang Jianfeng said: "My master can still make mistakes. Direction? Do you know what the special function of mercury is?" Xiaolan shook her head, and Zhang Jianfeng said: "Mercury can block the magic effect of the magic weapon to a certain extent." Xiaolan shouted "Ah": "You Didn't you tell me earlier? Wouldn't the case be solved? The murderer used mercury to arrange the internal organs, and he must have used mercury to crack the six-yao formation." Zhang Jianfeng said: "I haven't finished speaking yet, but Ghosts are also afraid of mercury, and they will melt as soon as they touch mercury." Xiaolan was speechless, and after a long time she said: "Then... what is mercury used for?" Zhang Jianfeng said: "This is what we came here for. Purpose."

The two of them were busy for a while, and Xiaolan finally found traces of mercury in a jar, and this time what was found was not just a little bit, but a lot. In front of the evidence, Xiaolan was speechless: "It seems that this mercury is indeed unusual. Why does the Sun family, a farming family, need so much mercury?" Zhang Jianfeng smiled and said: "Do you still remember the scene when the first family member in this village died? What? He said his face was charred and he died of poisoning." Xiao Lan said: "Why do you suddenly think of this?" Zhang Jianfeng said lightly: "That is the sign of mercury poisoning." Xiao Lan suddenly said with horror: "You... you said The Sun family killed..." Zhang Jianfeng interrupted: "I didn't say it, I just told an objective fact. I won't talk nonsense before I find evidence. If you have so much time to guess my words, why not look for it more carefully? Find it."

A very old cabinet caught Zhang Jianfeng's attention. The cabinet was so tattered that it was almost unusable. One of its legs was broken and leaning to one side, but it had a lock on it. Zhang Jianfeng wiped the dust off the lock with his sleeve. Although it was a little rusty, he still recognized it as a lock made by Wanjiang Factory. Wanjiang is the largest brand of locks. The locks they sell are more than twice as expensive as similar locks, but the quality is excellent. The Sun family used such an expensive lock to match such a dilapidated cabinet. There must be something weird in it. Zhang Jianfeng did not hesitate and kicked hard with his big foot. With a "crash", Xiaolan was startled. She saw that a big hole had been made in the cabinet door, and an exquisite paper man fell out of it. Zhang Jianfeng picked up the paper man and said in a voiceless voice: "How come there is such a thing?"

When Xiaolan rushed over to take a look, she saw that although the paper was yellowed and old, it was still lifelike, highlighting the exquisite workmanship. At that time, no wealthy family could afford such a paper man, but although the Sun family A rich man, but no one died in his family. What does it mean to buy such a paper figure and lock it in a cupboard? Xiaolan's face changed: "Is it possible that the Sun family is related to the mourning hall classroom?" Zhang Jianfeng said: "No, there is no connection. Although these paper figures are exquisite, in terms of specifications, they are not as good as those in the mourning hall classroom, which are embroidered with gold. Line, I'm afraid there is another mystery to this matter. Why don't we go to other houses and have a look."
