My head shot up.
Sure enough, Zhang Jiugua's tomb had a crack in the middle.
A slightly shriveled severed hand rolled out...
The severed hand just rolled in front of the abacus and rested on the beads.
Sweat broke out on my forehead.
In the blink of an eye, I saw Zhang Jiugua's body lying on the cracked grave!
He looked straight at me, his eyes filled with bright red blood, and he tried his best to reach forward, but the outstretched right hand was completely disconnected from the wrist...
"this……"
I bit the tip of my tongue hard and suddenly felt a burning pain coming from my wrist, along with a biting chill!
The tingling at the tip of my tongue and the sharp pain of ice and fire in my wrist made me suddenly wake up.
Is there any Zhang Jiu Gua anywhere in front of me?
It’s just that there is a severed hand on the golden abacus, and there is a gap in the tomb...
I raised my hand, and the burning and cold feeling came from the raccoon bone bracelet.
Next to me, Xu Shiyu looked at me nervously, with worry about me in her expression.
Grandma also came over. She stared at the severed hand with a particularly complicated look on her face.
As for the others, they looked at each other in shock, and no one dared to speak or make a sound.
Liu Wensan walked up behind me, and even He Caier was a little uneasy.
The calmest person was Blind Chen. His vision was obstructed and he could not see details.
I picked up the severed hand, wrapped it in a piece of paper, and placed it close to my body.
This severed hand belongs to Zhang Jiugua. I have returned grandpa’s severed hand to his coffin a long time ago.
I have a vague guess that this may be a taboo among the people.
At that time, my grandfather may not have known the art of Yang arithmetic, or he might only have some skills.
Finally, he picked up the long wooden box, looked at the hexagrams for a long time, closed the lid, and tried his best to breathe steadily.
"Are you okay, Sixteen?" Liu Wensan suddenly asked.
"It's no big deal." I smiled, shook my head and said, "This cheap master doesn't trust me as his apprentice."
After saying that, I still sighed softly.
"Go down the mountain." I waved and motioned for everyone to leave first.
Feng Qu first sent us back to Liuhe Village, and then left to go back to Feng's house.
Before we went to our rooms, Liu Wensan gave me a serious look. He didn't say much, but the worry in his eyes was obviously more than before.
Alone in the house, I opened the long wooden box again.
The strange thing is that the golden abacus still maintains the previous hexagram and is not scattered.
"One hexagram and two phases. The first explanation is that I am proficient in Yin and Yang, which is a sign of vitality. Perhaps I am the vitality in the changes in the world's dragon veins."
"These two explanations...there are so many changes, and only one line is left to be fulfilled. Are the rest of them all variables?" I murmured to myself.
One hexagram and two phases actually happened to Chen Xiazi.
When I told blind man Chen, it was also my first hexagram. His fortune was messed up, which was a sign of great misfortune.
I forcibly brought order to the chaos and paid some price, but Blind Chen also avoided danger.
According to the instructions of the bones, only during the first and last hexagrams, the successor of Jinsuan can bring things right, and then suffer retribution and debts.
As for other hexagram numbers, there are no restrictions at all.
I didn't actually think about this aspect before, but now I understand it.
Zhang Jiugua said that his last hexagram was given to Blind Chen. For him, it must be to bring order to the chaos. After modifying the hexagram, that will be the last hexagram!
He was not old at that time, he was still in his prime, and it was only after that that he went to the soilless mountain...
How did he change Blind Chen's fate?
What makes me even more shuddering is, why did he use this last chance to seal the last hexagram and leave the golden abacus?
I feel that if this were not the case, with his ability to tell the truth, he might not have died in Ji Niang Mountain...
There are clear taboos in the bone signs. If the last hexagram is used, if another hexagram is forced to be used after sealing the hexagram, the life of one hexagram will be three years, and the life of the two hexagrams will be nine years.
According to Mr. Yin's words, Zhang Jiugua arrived at Ji Niang Village and told him and Ji Niang's fortunes.
He may have taken his own life by force, which would be more harmful to his body than the life-saving technique.
After thinking for a long time, I finally came to only two conclusions.
Either it is extremely important to change the fate of blind man Chen, and he would not hesitate to let Zhang Jiu hexagram be sealed.
Either Zhang Jiugua is extremely confident about Buniang Mountain and his party, and everything is within his calculations.
But the actual facts are no longer known.
Now the hexagram Zhang Jiugua gave me has become a variable. There is no warning of what will happen after Ji Niang Mountain.
What I can only know is that chaos in the hexagram will lead to disaster, and the vitality in me may not still be there. I can only take one step at a time...
And he gave me the most important tip, that is, this trip to Ji Niang Mountain is very bad!
After I thought about this clearly, I closed the long wooden box again, tied a rope and hung it close to my body. There was a soft clattering sound inside the wooden box, and the abacus was already moving.
Drowsiness arose and I fell into a deep sleep.
A dreamless night.
It was almost noon when I woke up the next day.
Shen Ji came back and was sweeping the floor in the yard.
She seemed to be out of tune with her surroundings, and it was hard for me to ask her where she had been yesterday. She hadn't been seen all day.
Liu Wensan and He Caier went to Mrs. He's place.
My grandma also kept talking to Xu Shiyu. Finally, grandma told me that she wanted to go to the city with Xu Shiyu to have a look. The old house must be renovated, and someone must guard it. What if someone else cuts corners?
But I think grandma wants to take Xu Shiyu away so that I can deal with things?
Of course I didn't refuse.
After lunch, grandma took Xu Shiyu and left.
There are only three people left in the yard: me, Shen Ji, and Chen Xiazi...
I actually have a lot of doubts about Blind Chen. I don’t know how Zhang Jiugua changed his destiny.
And I have a vague feeling that his loneliness may not be due to nature. It is most likely related to Zhang Jiugua...
As for the deep bun, I was also wary deep in my heart.
After everyone left, Shen Ji also returned to the room.
This day passed extremely slowly.
It was late at night when Liu Wensan and He Caier came back.
They carried a lot of things and even brought back Mrs. He!
Mrs. He was dressed in jingling pendants. Although there was no package on her back, her aura was still gloomy, making people panic if they looked at her more than once.
From the look in Liu Wensan's eyes, I could tell that they were probably picking up Mrs. He because of me...
Since Mrs. He came, Shen Ji basically didn't leave the room. Even if he wanted to eat, he would only come out to bring it and then go back.
Obviously I can see that Mrs. He's eyes are like aquiline hooks. As soon as Shen Ji appeared, she looked straight at it without wandering at all.
And deep in Shen Ji's eyes, there was also a hint of fear.
After all, she was young and could not completely hide her emotions.
The next day, the third day came in a blink of an eye.
In the early morning, Mr. Yin came back...
