It was already late at night when we left the comfort building.
At that time, Yu Qiuyue cried for a while, then stopped crying and left quietly.
After a while, when Yang Xiaoying woke up, her husband had returned from buying medicine and everything was over.
Because we were afraid that Yu Qiuyue would come back, we stayed there for a while. Seeing that Yang Xiaoying's fever had basically subsided, we said goodbye and left.
On the way back, Officer Yang told us that in fact, after Yu Qiuyue died, her mother had been obsessed with it all these years because she could not accept the reality. She told everyone that her daughter was not dead and that her son was not dead either.
The old man even refused to go to the crematorium to see the urns of his daughter and son.
Perhaps in her heart, as long as she didn't go, this incident could be treated as if it never happened.
We soon passed by the flax factory. Officer Yang said that since the explosion twenty years ago, the efficiency of the factory has plummeted.
Some people say that they will see dead workers wandering around the factory at night.
Because they died so suddenly, they didn't know they were dead.
Today, this place, once known as the first and second largest linen textile factory in Asia and the world, has now ceased production.
To be more precise, it is actually bankrupt. The factory owes more than one billion yuan and cannot pay wages. The workers have all been sent home.
There is also news that the flax factory has been sold and will be demolished in the near future to build a high-end residential community.
All the glory has come to an end, and the disaster that year has become a past event that no Harbinian wants to talk about.
I drove my car on the street and looked at the place where the flax factory was. It was completely dark and there was no light.
I didn't know at that time that a few years later, in this place full of bizarre ghost stories, a famous high-end community would be built, and of course it would also be a community that is constantly rumored.
This community is: Four Seasons Shangdong.
Later, some people said that the name of the Four Seasons Shangdong was reversed, which means Dongshang Sacrifice, in order to worship the innocent souls who died here.
Some people also say that the roof of this community is built like an incense burner, and lights are lit every night, like offering incense or a soul-inducing lamp.
There are endless rumors of hauntings.
However, this still cannot stop this community from becoming one of the ceilings of Harbin’s housing prices in the future.
It is located in key school district, provincial hospital, traditional Chinese medicine hospital, adjacent to the business district...
In the face of the value advantage of the market economy, all demons and monsters must give in.
Speaking of which, Harbin has several relatively famous real estate properties, known as the Four Ghost Buildings.
Four Seasons Shangdong is the first one, followed by Chang'an City, Forbidden City, and Qilin Palace.
Sijishangdong is the site of the flax factory explosion, Chang'an City used to be a mass grave, the Forbidden City was a food market where prisoners were killed, Qilin Washington... It is said that an entire building in the community is empty, and A Piao lives in it.
There is also a rumor that there is a room next to the Siji Shangdong distribution room. There are many Buddha statues and charms in it, and women are often heard crying in the middle of the night.
This is the rumor. I won’t comment on whether it’s true or not. I won’t say anything if it’s too much. Otherwise, the owners of the community will come to me.
After all, you must have a bottom line as a human being, and you must have a bottom line when writing stories.
But then someone told me that her children would cry inexplicably whenever they went to Chang'an City. This should be true.
Officer Yang took out the money to thank us. Uncle Ma hesitated and finally confiscated it.
Although he is greedy for money, he is also a person with professional ethics. It was Officer Yang who persuaded Yu Qiuyue just now, so why do you have the nerve to accept money from others?
I said forget it and just treat it as a good deed.
Officer Yang was also very interesting and said that if you need anything in the future, just come to me.
When Uncle Ma and I returned home, it was already past eleven o'clock in the middle of the night.
Neither of us was in the mood to sleep, so we made a pot of tea, sat across from each other, drank tea, smoked and chatted.
Today's incident was actually quite unexpected. If it weren't for Officer Yang's words, I guess there would have been some twists and turns. At least Yu Qiuyue wouldn't have retreated so quickly.
Therefore, the change between good and evil is often just a thought.
After chatting for a while, I asked Uncle Ma another question, a question that had puzzled me for a long time.
I said, "Uncle Ma, I've been with you for so long and I've seen a lot of ghosts. Why don't you feel that it's not exciting at all?"
Uncle Ma glared: "Isn't this exciting? If there weren't so many of us tonight, we wouldn't be able to catch that Yu Qiuyue."
I shook my head: "No, I mean, this is a bit different from what I imagined catching ghosts. The five thunder talisman you just used didn't have thunder either."
Uncle Ma said: "Then you have watched too many movies, right? Do you still want to be really thunderous? Come on, come on, today I will open your eyes. Don't say in the future that I don't teach you your real skills!"
As soon as I heard this, I got excited. He was going to give me something real.
Uncle Ma took out a pen and paper and drew a Five Thunder Talisman.
Then, Uncle Ma took the Five Thunder Talisman and recited the incantation.
"The Jade Qing Dynasty begins the Qing Dynasty, the true talisman tells the alliance, the two Qi are moved, the mixed one becomes the true one, the five thunders and five thunders arrive at the call, as urgent as the law and order!"
After reciting the incantation, he continued to perform the incantation, and finally pointed at the Five Thunder Talisman.
However……
The Five Thunder Talisman showed no response.
I looked at Uncle Ma, and he looked at me.
Then he reached out and hit me on the head.
"You see, this thing is what it is. Do you really think it can cause thunder?"
As he said that, he threw the talisman on the table without changing his expression at all.
I looked at the talisman and couldn't help but feel discouraged.
To be honest, since I was a child, I thought that the Taoist priest’s Five Thunder Talisman could really attract thunder from the sky. Even if it didn’t work, he would have to summon thunder out of thin air, just like in the movie.
But Uncle Ma told me that it was all nonsense.
He said that talismans are actually a kind of medium. Together with spells and rituals, they can indeed mobilize the power of heaven and earth, and can also communicate with immortals and gods.
But it is far from the level of triggering thunder from the sky. Maybe there were great virtues in ancient times who could do it, but in today's era, with thin spiritual energy, smoky air, corrupt people's hearts, and moral decay, where is the pure nature of the past?
Don't say that he can't draw thunder from the sky. If there is a person in this world who can draw thunder from the sky, he will immediately kneel down and call his ancestors.
Then why does the Five Thunder Talisman still have effect on spiritual bodies?
It's very simple. The sky thunder is so powerful that it can smash stones and trees. Those mere spirits, let alone encounter the sky thunder, as long as the Five Thunder Talisman can carry a trace of the power of thunder, it is enough for them. .
Of course, the sky thunder can't be brought down, ordinary thunder can still do it.
Because thunder, explained scientifically, is originally produced by the friction between positive and negative poles.
Metaphysically speaking, the blessed Five Thunder Talisman will contain some anode energy, while the ghost body just belongs to cathode energy.
When this anode energy and cathode energy rub or even collide, they will vibrate or even explode, just like thunder.
But to achieve this effect, ordinary people can't do it. The energy in the Five Thunder Talisman must be very strong.
On the contrary, the energy of that spirit body cannot be too weak in order to produce an effect.
The Five Thunder Talisman he drew just now at Yang Xiaoying's house didn't have time to recite the incantation to bless it, and of course the energy was limited.
In the end, Uncle Ma patted my head and said, "Remember, you must believe in science, not movies."
After saying that, Uncle Ma went back to the house to sleep with his hands behind his back, leaving me alone and messy in the wind.
I picked up the talisman that Uncle Ma had left on the table, looked at it over and over, then started to make the talisman with my hands, imitating the way in the movie, and shouted.
"Five thunders, break!"
With a whoosh, I threw the Five Thunder Talisman out of the door, and then planned to go back to the house to sleep.
But at this moment, there was a roar outside the door.
Exploded...
