In the parking lot on the second underground floor, Jiang Jinjiu was not the only one hiding in the dark and spying. There was another person hiding less than twenty meters away from him, and this person was Qin Qinxuan.
It is said that she separated from Jiang Jinjiu, quietly returned a few minutes after arriving at the predetermined location, and finally hid about thirty meters away from the northwest corner.
Qinxuan secretly monitored Jiang Jinjiu and paid attention to the situation around him.
As expected, she guessed that the ghost's hiding place was in the northwest corner. Before he lit the incense, a transparent mist appeared there - if it was far away, ordinary people could see it under strong light contrast. But if you are close, only those who have practiced to a certain level can see it with the naked eye.
Qin Xuan secretly started to worry about his safety, wondering if it would be too risky to use him as bait.
This transparent mist is called Earth Yin Qi, which is gradually revealed by the influence of the outside world.
In ancient times, they were more likely to appear in deep ditches, underground caves, underground palaces, and tombs. Most of them are inaccessible places and not visible to ordinary people.
In modern times, spaces that go deep underground, such as underground parking lots, underground shopping malls, subway tunnels... are common. The corresponding conditions for appearance are not difficult to meet, so many people can be seen. It’s just that when people discover it, they mistakenly think it is some kind of steam, smoke, exhaust gas, etc., so it is often ignored.
Let’s talk about the local atmosphere.
The ancients believed that the earth was alive, with breath circulating around it just like people. Recently, the term "earth energy" came into being.
Different from modern times, it not only refers to various gases contained in the earth's crust, but also includes underground magnetism, the influence of crustal movement, the traction force of ground and underground water flow...the forces caused by many activities that occur underground and the resulting non-solid objects. As well as the impact of factors such as geographical location, environment and terrain on the human body, the content is extremely extensive.
In Taoist scholarship, earth energy generally refers to the energy of the earth's veins, that is, the two air currents of yin and yang contained in the ground.
If there is no earth energy, this land will be a dead land, where no grass will grow, and gray dust will fill the sky. Any living thing will only die and turn into a dry and hard mummy, because even microorganisms and bacteria cannot survive there.
The trend of the local qi, whether it is smooth or not, affects whether the weather is smooth and whether the life here is prosperous or not.
The geoqi referred to here is the broad one.
Everyone knows that the basement is warm in winter and cool in summer, but very humid. This is the result of the moisture in the earth's atmosphere condensing here.
If the moisture-proof project is not done well, placing a refrigerator with the door open will cause frost to form on adjacent parts. And environments that can form frost can also cause fog.
Assuming there is no exhaust system in the parking lot, if you drive the car out, once the water vapor reaches the standard, fog will be common on cool days like autumn.
Yin Qi is cold, and the heavier the Yin Qi, the colder it is.
If a ghost suddenly appears, the earth's energy within a certain range will change drastically and the gas will condense rapidly. Although it cannot meet the atomization conditions, it will also condense the moisture in the air, increase the density of other substances, and create a density difference with the surroundings.
Imagine that when the size of space remains unchanged, the density of matter in a part of the space increases, which means that the density of other parts decreases. If vision is visible, it will appear that one part is clearer and another part is more transparent.
This density difference forms a "fog" that is difficult to see with the naked eye, which usually occurs when a ghost appears.
There is also a situation where a body is hidden nearby.
During the decomposition process, corpses volatilize a variety of toxic particulate matter, accompanied by toxic gases such as sulfur dioxide, carbon dioxide, hydrogen sulfide, ammonia, and methane. It combines with water vapor to form poisonous mist, which is also invisible to the naked eye.
One of the reasons why ancient coffins were used to bury corpses was to prevent poisonous substances from leaking out.
The human body contains a large amount of water, and the toxins are highly fused with water molecules in the sealed coffin, eventually forming a horrifying corpse gas.
However, in order to achieve the effect of killing those who touch it, it may take more than ten years of chemical reactions before it can be concentrated into a highly toxic mist gas. If the reaction is incomplete, it will only make the person seriously ill, or suffer from a weird skin disease, which can be as mild as diarrhea.
The above is only one type of corpse qi, and the forming factors are the key to determining the strength of corpse qi.
There is a kind of corpse energy that is difficult to decompose once formed. Although it is not fatal, it can cause hallucinations.
In addition, in a constant temperature and humid environment, toxic gases will also be produced when a large number of plants rot.
Even the flowers and plants we see in our daily lives, the stems, leaves, and roots of certain types of plants also contain trace amounts of toxins. When a large number of stems and leaves rot in a constant temperature and humid environment, the toxins are volatilized. If it can accumulate to a certain amount, and at the right time, it condenses with the earth's energy, it will form a poisonous mist that sticks to the ground like light smoke.
This is very common in forests and is called miasma.
Ordinary miasma would only make people sick and unlikely to cause death, but the poisonous mist produced in the swamp was much more powerful.
Biogas is a well-known, flammable and toxic gas.
If there is a large amount of biogas in the air, people will first become deprived of oxygen, and deprived of oxygen will become unconscious. The poisonous mist in the swamp is formed by mixing a variety of putrefaction toxins on the basis of biogas, so that the swamp often produces a hallucinogenic poisonous mist, and excessive inhalation of the poisonous mist can be fatal.
The swamp environment is relatively close to the environment in drainage and sewage pipes in cities. The latter is richer in humus and chemical agents, so the poisonous gases that can be formed are more diverse.
If there are several days of high temperature, followed by several days of light rain, and then another few days of high temperature, and finally the temperature difference between day and night exceeds ten degrees, the poisonous gas may flow back to the ground to form poisonous mist.
But all this will only happen if the pipeline is not properly drained. However, if some conditions can be ignored in a place with heavy Yin energy, it is more likely to accelerate the formation and accumulation of poisonous mist.
Qinxuan suspected that the mist he was seeing now contained hallucinogenic poisonous gas, and he was even more convinced after seeing Jiang Jinjiu's subsequent actions.
The smoke of the soul-calling incense reacted about ten minutes after Jiang Jinjiu entered the mist.
First, it seemed like there was a pair of scissors, cutting the rising smoke into cigarette rods two fingers wide and as long as a pencil.
The cigarette rod rose less than half a meter, as if it was caught in the turbulent current, swaying left and right, rising precariously upward.
However, every minute or so, a distinctive cigarette stick seems to be cut out. It jumps excitedly, draws a beautiful arc in the air and then falls vertically to the ground, like a small snake surrounding the river. Slowly crawl into wine.
But he always raised his head, as if he had not seen this scene.
Later, the intervals between falling cigarette rods became shorter and shorter, and more and more, and finally it was like a rain of cigarette rods, with very little rising smoke.
Soon the smoke on the ground became thicker, like a sea of clouds rolling with slight waves.
When a quarter of the incense was burned away, Jiang Jinjiu seemed to be on top of the cloud-shrouded mountains, but he still stood stupidly with his head raised.
So Qinxuan believed that the poisonous gas in the fog caused him to hallucinate. Otherwise, no matter how weak a person's resistance is, it will take a while for him to be affected by ghosts and have hallucinations, unlike if he was attacked in a very short period of time.
But how can you blame Jiang Jinjiu?
If Qinxuan knew his characteristics, he would not use him as bait. At this time, the Yin Qi in his body is relatively strong. If he has a sense of crisis, he can still resist for a while, but his unconscious resistance to ghosts can be regarded as zero.
Even if there is no poisonous gas, he can still be affected by ghosts and have hallucinations.
Fortunately, although Jiang Jinjiu was trapped in a hallucination, he did not extinguish the incense and fixed it to the ground with a cigarette case.
The ghost was also very clever and did not enter the smoke but just wandered around.
When Jiang Jinjiu walked out of the smoke, the smoke was flying and some of the cigarette sticks stuck to the ghost. Qin Xuan immediately noticed that the ghost was following Jiang Jinjiu, almost clinging to him.
At this moment, Qinxuan watched Jiang Jinjiuxu sneaking forward with something in his arms. He would poke his head out from time to time, mostly to see where his car was. Knowing where he was going, he immediately sneaked over and set a trap.
When the decoration of Qinxuan was completed, Jiang Jinjiu was still halfway there.
Jiang Jinjiu was sweating profusely from holding Fanny, his arms were sore and numb, and he didn't dare to think about resting. There is no need to delay in the current situation. The sooner you can get into the car, the sooner you can be safe.
However, fatigue made his movements more and more sluggish, and he accidentally touched the car body, triggering a sharp beeping sound from the alarm, which scared him and ran to the middle of two vans a little further away. He lay on the ground and looked through the car. He looked around through the gap at the bottom...it wasn't until ten minutes after the alarm went off automatically that he couldn't see half of his feet and couldn't hear other sounds. Then he breathed a sigh of relief and picked up Fanny and prepared to leave.
But before he could stand still, he heard a man yelling from the parking lot, "Fanny - come out here -" He was so shocked that he almost took his hand and threw Fanny to the ground.
Then a crisp sound of footsteps came from the entrance of the passage, and he vaguely saw a man in a gray suit, who seemed to be holding a silver object in his hand, like a wrench. Even if you can't see the man's face clearly, you can still tell how ferocious his appearance is. Even if he is far away, you can still feel the murderous intent.
When Fanny in her arms heard the sound, she was so frightened that she could hardly breathe.
No need to ask, this man must be chasing Fanny.
Jiang Jinjiu had no intention of comforting her, and focused all his attention on that man.
The only thing I could do now was to take a gamble, rush into the car and drive out before he noticed me.
Seeing the man heading to the northeast, he rushed out with all his strength.
But he never expected that when he put down Fanny and took out the key and inserted it into the keyhole, a man would appear next to him, swing a wrench and hit him on the head!
The man yelled with all his strength, and this blow would definitely leave him with a bloody head, and maybe even a hole in his skull!
Fortunately, Jiang Jinjiu raised his hand instinctively and blocked the attack with his arm. The wrench is slapped flat on the arm, hurting the flesh but not the bones. In severe pain, he rushed forward, pushing and hitting the man's stomach, knocking him down all of a sudden!
Seeing the wrench fall out of his hand, Jiang Jinjiu seized the opportunity and pounced on him to start a fight.
What Ling Jiang Jinjiu didn't expect was that the other party kicked him away as if he had learned Kung Fu before turning over to pick up the wrench.
Jiang Jinjiu is not allowed to be picked up by him. He may not be able to defeat it with his bare hands. How can he still survive after getting a hard object? ? Now the only choice is to fight with him, either you die or I die.
As the saying goes, those who are good at martial arts are afraid of encountering someone who is desperate for their lives, "I will risk my life!"
Jiang Jinjiu roared, rushing towards him like a mad cow and hugging his waist. His feet never stopped, pushing him against cars and pillars!
It did have some effect. Jiang Jinjiu's shoulder pressed against the man's stomach, and the force of the collision was like a powerful kick. The man's breath was temporarily interrupted.
But when the man calmed down, Jiang Jinjiu was hit on the back of the head by his powerful elbow. His head suddenly buzzed and almost stopped functioning! With no strength in his hands and feet, he couldn't help but kneel on the ground and stared at the man blankly.
The man raised his right fist and hit his temple. Jiang Jinjiu immediately fell to the ground, his head hit the ground with a bang. He had no strength left in his body, and he looked like he might faint at any time with his eyes narrowed.
Seeing this, the man did not continue to strike. He gave him a cold look, turned around and picked up the wrench. But his target was not Jiang Jinjiu, but towards Fanny.
In a daze, there was a voice in Jiang Jinjiu's mind that kept saying, "Get up! Kill him! Stand up! Kill him!..." But his hands and feet seemed to be filled with lead and he could not move.
Seeing the man's figure coming to his side, the voice urged more urgently.
Jiang Jinjiu suppressed his face and blushed. With all the strength in his body, he could only lift his right leg and kick it out lightly.
The man didn't seem to expect that he could still move, so he received this kick. Although the kick was not very strong and neither painful nor itchy, it undoubtedly angered the man. The last kick was enough to make Jiang Jinjiu lose consciousness.
Only then did all illusions cease to dissipate.
How did Jiang Jinjiu know that the man he was fighting with was actually Qin Qinxuan.
Qinxuan formed a square formation around Jiang Jinjiu's car, leaving a gap. Linglong is placed behind the car, covered with a piece of white cloth on top, a piece of velvet on the bottom, and a rope tied to the corner. It can be dragged out by just pulling.
Qin Xuan originally planned to hide behind the car and fill the gap when Jiang Jinjiu and Gui came in, so that the square formation could trap Gui for half a moment. During this period, Jiang Jinjiu was subdued and Linglong was dragged out to collect the ghost.
Linglong is equipped with an array of Kuixing tipping buckets - the Kuixing refers to the Heavenly Master Zhong Kui, and the tipping bucket refers to his sleeves. It is said that every time Zhong Kui caught a ghost, he would stuff it into his wide sleeves, no matter how many ghosts he caught, they would never be enough. The effect of this array is like a bottomless pit. After pushing a ghost into it, unless the ghost has superhuman abilities, it will never come out.
Not only that, the exquisite upper space also has an effect.
If the inside of Linglong is regarded as the ground and the outside is regarded as the sky, there is a gap of 10,000 meters between the sky and the earth. When a ghost is on Linglong, it is like being ten thousand meters high in the sky, and it is impossible not to fall down.
So although the current Linglong does not have the function of actively collecting ghosts, it is still a huge trap.
But Qinxuan didn't expect that the ghost was very alert. As soon as the gap in the phalanx was repaired, the ghost noticed her presence. So Jiang Jinjiu was confused and regarded her as a murderer, and met with strong resistance.
Because of his carelessness, he not only dropped the Fuyu in his hand but also received several beatings. When he got angry, he knocked Jiang Jinjiu unconscious.
At this moment, the main talisman of the phalanx rose into the air, shaking and threatening to fall at any time. The power of the phalanx was at the end of its might.
Seeing this, Qin Xuan flew into the formation, and Gui Fanni immediately rushed towards her. But Qinxuan has a talisman on his body, so he can't get even close to her. Qinxuan quickly set up Linglong, and stepped forward to force Fanny into Linglong. But seeing the main talisman floating down, Qin Xuan secretly felt happy when he saw that the other two talisman papers had cracked.
But Ghost Fanny is quite powerful and is no ordinary ghost.
The Kuixing bucket array can trap the ghost for half an hour before its effectiveness weakens. The kinetic energy of the ghost's struggle causes a certain degree of vibration in Linglong's entire body.
But Fanny only needed a moment to make Linglong vibrate violently, as if there were several vibrating mobile phones inside.
Qinxuan had just fought against Fanny, and he knew that it was not at the level of a fierce ghost, but somewhere between ordinary. Then there is only one other way for Linglong to be so shocked - Fanny's tomb is nearby.
Qinxuan looked around and saw that the parking lot was all solid concrete. How could there be a place to bury the body?
Now she had no time to think about it, so she quickly sealed Linglong's lid and replaced it with a seven-star soul-locking array, and Linglong was quiet.
Qin Xuan smiled proudly and said to himself, "It's done."
I feel very happy when I think about how easily I can add tens of thousands of dollars to my account.
Humming a little tune... You will never understand my sadness, just like the day does not understand the darkness of night, like the eternal burning sun, does not understand the waxing and waning of the moon. You will never understand my sadness...
