After calming down, I need to sort out the whole thing in an organized way. After asking Mr. Xia and Mrs. Xia about the born horoscope, he drew a tic-tac-toe with his left hand, divided his palm into a nine-square grid, and started to make hexagrams based on the horoscope and name. This is usually a safer approach so as not to miss any clues.
The second palace of hexagram Luokun belongs to the southwest, belongs to earth, and its main color is yellow. The main numbers are two and eight, which are the beginning of autumn, the elderly women and mothers at home, and the arms, chest, and abdomen.
This is a hexagram that I don’t understand. It refers to the beginning of autumn, and the current time has just entered summer. If we want to say the beginning of autumn, we can only push it back one year. At that time, everything in Mr. Xia’s family was normal, and everything was normal. The strange phenomenon has only occurred for a month at best. The main numbers are two and eight. I don’t understand what they mean for the time being. If the old lady’s current age is calculated as a virtual age, does it mean two and eight? But the old lady’s horoscope told me that her actual age was seventy-one, which had nothing to do with these two numbers. The main arms, chest, and abdomen, do you mean there are some abnormalities in these places? But when I asked Mr. Xia for confirmation, I only learned that the old lady had some mild myocarditis, and everything else was fine. If the chest can be summarized as the "heart", this can barely be regarded as accurate.
As for the elderly women in the family, there is no doubt about this, so I asked Mr. Xia, do you have children at home? Because one of the hexagrams refers to the mother. But Mr. Xia said sadly that he had a child, but he died in the war in 1942. I asked in 1942, was it the big bombing? Mr. Xia said yes. Due to the decline of the family at that time, the craftsmanship of his lineage was actually still respected by many high-level people in society during the Republic of China government, so he gradually regained a lot of vitality. Just when he felt that there was hope for reviving the family craftsmanship. At that time, the bombing took the lives of many people, including his own family and his son.
After my wife gave birth to her first child, she had no way to continue having children. The old couple didn't know the specific reason, and after their only child was killed in the bombing, they couldn't continue to have children, so they continued like this for decades, with the old couple taking care of each other. When talking about this, Mr. Xia was a little sad, saying that if the person who has been with me all my life leaves before me, leaving me alone, I'm afraid I won't have much hope, and he will soon follow. She left.
Seeing Mr. Xia so sad makes me feel uncomfortable. According to all the information I have so far, in addition to the incredible thing about the puppets having long hair, I have found a clue that may be very critical, which is that the real problem with these strange puppets is this "Yangmen Girl" This part of the puppet.
I returned to the wooden shelf again, placed the water bowl, and began to perform the Water Bowl Circle Light Technique. After burning the talisman paper, a figure with a big head and a small body appeared in the bowl. It looks a lot like a child because in proportion to a child's body, the head is larger. Then I thought of the child of Mr. Xia and his wife who died during the bombing in 1942, so I asked, "It seems that this apparition is a child, about 5 to 8 years old. When your child was killed at that time, Is he about this age? Mr. Xia immediately shook his head and said that was impossible, because when the child was killed, he was already in his twenties and had already started a family.
The successive setbacks had a big impact on my mentality. In the past, if you used the hexagram plus the round light technique plus the fragrance of soldiers and horses, even if you couldn't tell the whole ins and outs of an incident, you could always guess it. But now that two of the three moves have been used, I am still confused. The information I have is actually information that can be grasped without fortune telling. It is meaningless to me.
So I started to get a little anxious. I knew that if I couldn't save the old lady, it was very likely that she would pass away in the next few days. Once she passed away, Mr. Xia would inevitably be too depressed, and then I'm afraid it's a matter of time before I go. If that were the case, I would be guilty of this for a long time. But Master has taught me that we are just ordinary cultivators. Although most people do not have the abilities we have, they are just different professional attributes. Just like some people who can drive tanks and fly planes are still out of reach for us. So while this profession is special but ordinary at the same time, we cannot pretend to be omnipotent, and we can only sigh when things are beyond our capabilities.
But I didn't give up because I still had one useless trick left, which was the Fragrance of Soldiers and Horses. Seeing that the first two measures had little effect, I lit the incense in the room. In fact, before lighting it, I had thought that the smoke would probably go towards the pile of puppets, and it was very likely that the smoke would go towards the pile of puppets. , will linger on "Mu Guiying", but when I lit it, the smoke first hovered in the room for a while, and then went straight to Mu Guiying. This was exactly what I expected. Just as I was preparing When the incense of soldiers and horses was extinguished, the direction of the smoke suddenly changed, and it drifted straight towards the outdoors.
This discovery made me very excited. At least it gave me a new clue. If it still cannot be found out, it can only be a problem with my ability. I asked Mr. Xia to wait at home, while I followed the smoke carefully. The house that Mr. Xia lives in is a simple bungalow. There is a fort outside the door, and under the fort there is a constant flow of pedestrians. But when the smoke drifted to the edge of the fort, it suddenly turned and drifted towards a fired jar placed in the corner of the house, lingering for a while and lingering for a long time.
So this gave me a message that there is something weird in this jar. The jar is used to hold things, but it has no seal and the mouth is facing upward. Leaning crookedly on a pile of briquettes and tiles. I walked over and took a closer look, and found that the mouth of the jar was covered with spider webs. Inside, there was actually a little novice monk with a clay body sitting in meditation.
I pierced the spider web with the incense handle, then reached in and picked up the little clay novice monk. I held it in my hand and looked at it. I found that it was as big as the one I saw in the bowl at first. The appearance of the small body is very similar.
Once the development instructions matched the actual findings, it proved that things were a big step ahead. This made me overjoyed because I finally had another chance to save people. The little novice monk with a clay body was about the height of my palm, and the widest part was about the diameter of a Lao Bai Gan bottle. From the slightly cracked part on the top, you could see the red clay tire inside. The appearance is mottled and the nose is missing. It doesn’t look like it was a product of recent years. If this little novice monk with a clay body is the main reason for the strange things happening in Mr. Xia's house, it means that this villain is at least inevitably related to the troublemaking ghost.
I held the little figure in my hand, then walked into the house and asked Mr. Xia, where did this thing come from? He said that last year, his wife went to the river to wash clothes and saw something red among the pebbles. She thought it was a red stone washed down from the upstream, so she went to pick it up, but when she dug it up, she found that Only then did I realize that it was a little clay figure. Although it was a little worn, it was washed smooth by the river water, and the posture of meditating seemed very pleasant, so I took the clothes back with me after washing them.
I told Mr. Xia that most of the things that happened to your family were caused by this clay figurine. I turned the clay figurine over, showed him the part of the clay tire, and then asked, "This crack is new, which means it just opened not long ago. Do you have any impression of this?"
Mr. Xia said that this happened not long ago. Maybe this clay figurine has been soaked in water for too long and has been soaked. After being brought home, it has been placed in a relatively dry place, so it may have cracked. I asked Mr. Xia if he still remembered when these things happened. Mr. Xia thought for a while and told me that it probably happened in August last year. I did the math on my fingers and found that it was correct. That time period happened to be around the beginning of autumn.
So in this way, the initial timing of the hexagram coincides again. The possibility that the Clay Man is the main "suspect" has once again greatly increased. But I still don’t understand. Even if this clay figurine is a spiritual thing, why did it suddenly transfer to the puppet in the room? Is it because it wants to change its body? Then why did you choose Mu Guiying? And how does it know the female characters in "The Female Generals of the Yang Family" and how can it accurately overthrow them one by one? The most puzzling thing is why the puppet has long hair.
Could it be because the body of this little novice monk with a body of clay is hollow? Is there anything in it?
I made this assumption to myself. I told Mr. Xia that I might have to break the clay figurine. Mr. Xia obviously didn't realize the seriousness of the matter, so he said to me, even if you break it, it won't look good if you pick up such an old thing and keep it at home, but my wife is reluctant to throw it away. Because of this, I put it in the earthen jar at the door.
I took out the flashlight and shined it towards the crack behind the little novice monk with the clay body. I got closer and looked carefully. I found that the innermost crack was actually black. This meant that it was indeed hollow inside. Since it was hollow, Yes, then there might be something inside. As long as I see what's inside and speculate, I can find the real reason why this place is haunted.
So I made do with the base of the flashlight and hit the little novice monk with a clay body on the head. While hitting, I silently recited Amitabha Buddha in my heart. Although I am not a Buddhist, the novice monk is a villain of Buddhism, and he didn’t know that I was like this. , can it be regarded as the blood of the Buddha?
It makes a crisp sound when struck. Although it is made of clay, the surface is covered with a smooth glaze. This is why it has not turned into mud and scattered after being washed by river water all year round. After about seven or eight blows, the crisp sound suddenly became muffled, and I knocked a hole in the head of the clay figurine.
It was dark inside, but I could see a glimmer of light through the previous crack. I turned the crack downwards. If there was something inside, it could be poured out at this moment. After fidgeting for a few times, I used two fingers to pull out a messy mess of hair tied with a red cloth strip.
And just when I was clipping my hair out, something suddenly hit me hard and suddenly between my chest and breasts. I was unprepared and fell to the ground.
