There are actually not many children born on the same day in the same year and month. In a big city like Licheng with a population of millions, hundreds of newborns are born every day.
However, it is extremely rare for children born on the same day in the same year and month to disappear at the same time.
But just after the second batch of statistical catalogs for each city came up, Shen Hao had a classified catalog in front of him, with a number marked in red: eighteen.
There were a total of eighteen cases, "cases that occurred on the same day, same month, same year, and disappeared at the same time."
These cases are scattered in more than a dozen cities within the jurisdiction of Licheng, some in the city, and some in rural villages. If you look at the data of one place alone, you will basically not notice such trivial details as "born on the same day, same year, same month, same day."
But once you look at the dozens of cities within the jurisdiction of Licheng, the numbers listed are very dazzling.
Once or twice can be considered a coincidence, but eighteen times will definitely not be a coincidence.
Someone is abducting children with a purpose.
After discovering the clues, the first thing Shen Hao had to figure out was the birth times in these "coincidences". Why would someone specifically choose children born at these times to abduct? Do these times have any special meaning?
The two most recent times are: "The ninth day of September in the thirteenth year of Jing's lunar calendar" and "The second day of February in the seventeenth year of Jing's lunar calendar".
Shen Hao has little research on the calendar of this world, but there are many people in Black Flag Camp who have studied this aspect. After all, many people like "Gua Technique", and "Gua Technique" is inseparable from the calendar.
Zhang Liao was a person known to Shen Hao who had done a lot of research on the calendar.
After being called to the public house, Zhang Liao only took a few glances to see what was special about these two moments.
"General banner, the ninth day of September in the thirteenth year of the Jing lunar calendar is the yin month and yin day in the nine-year lunar calendar. The second day of February in the seventeenth year of the Jing lunar calendar is the yang month and the yang day in the nine-year yang year. At this time, we Generally called "extremely yin day" and "extremely yang day".
In addition, if you push back or forward according to this time node, you can easily deduce other "extremely yin days" and extremely yang days. "
Extremely cloudy day?
Extremely sunny day?
Shen Hao wondered: "Is there anything special about people born at these two times?"
"Yes, yes, people born at these two times will each carry very pure "yin blood energy" and "yang blood energy" when they are children. Compared with ordinary people, children with these two kinds of blood energy It’s easier to practice. But once you lose your virginity or age over thirteen, you no longer have these two bloodline auras.”
"Other than that? Is there anything special about it?"
"Besides this? This..." Zhang Liao thought about it carefully, but still shook his head to express his uncertainty.
Shen Hao waved his hand to dismiss Zhang Liao, but what he couldn't get rid of were the newly heard terms: Yin Vein Blood Qi, Yang Vein Blood Qi; Extreme Yin Sun, Extreme Yang Sun.
In order to understand these things, Shen Hao got up and left the public room, and went to the library in the guardhouse.
The library is different from the archives. It can be open to all Xuanqing guards around the clock for checking information or miscellaneous history.
Not as rich as the local libraries, Xuan Qingwei's library mainly focuses on things about monks.
Shen Hao entered the building and asked the attendant guarding the library to help him find information on "calendar" and "yin and yang blood energy".
There are only two copies.
The calendar book is very thick, and the cover is obviously worn. It can be seen that this book is often read. After all, there are many monks who practice hexagrams, and the calendar book can be used as a reference book.
The other book about yin and yang blood energy is only a little thin, and there are only a dozen pages in it.
However, the content of these dozen pages made Shen Hao read it three times.
The book mentions this sentence: The yin and yang blood energy is a vision of heaven and earth. Although it cannot last forever, there are many wonderful changes. Many latecomers have studied it, but few have finally achieved results.
At first glance, this sentence seems to be just the editor expressing some emotion. But if you think deeper, you will find some strange problems: since "latecomers do more research" and "very few" have achieved results, it means that more people can produce fewer results, but even if there are few, there will still be results. The fruit comes out, but where is the fruit? Why is there absolutely nothing concrete in the entire book except some vague conceptual conclusions?
It was already dusk when he walked out of the library. Shen Hao looked at the setting sun and made a basic judgment in his mind about "most latecomers have studied" and "few".
It's just that the researchers mentioned in the book are not ordinary monks, and are even in a hostile relationship with monks in the general sense, so the research results of these enemies are naturally "few" and not recorded at all, or these The results involved some secrets that required a limited scope of knowledge, so they were controlled.
As a monk who could be regarded as an enemy by the general public, Shen Hao naturally thought of those evil monks who had dealt with him.
When it comes to evil monks, everything becomes complicated again.
Perhaps more detailed information can be found at the Qianhu Office in Fengri City?
However, Shen Hao thought about it and temporarily suppressed the idea of going to Fengri City. It's not the time yet.
Although he couldn't find anything specific in the library, it gave Shen Hao a basic understanding of "calendar" and "yin and yang blood energy".
...
the next day.
Shen Hao singled out the missing cases that occurred in Licheng, two in total.
One is the 23rd year of the Jing Dynasty, three years have passed since then. The missing person is the son of a pork shop owner in the East Market. His name is Ma Haotian. He was six years old at the time and was born on the second day of the second lunar month in the 17th year of the Erjing calendar.
The file records that because business was very busy that day, Ma Haotian's parents did not keep an eye on the child, and the child often played outside the store, so they did not see the child for a while and did not take it seriously, thinking that the child was playing on the street again. went.
But when it was almost noon, business slowed down, and the couple realized that they hadn't seen the child for a long time, so they went to look for it, but the child was lost.
Every year after that, Ma Haotian's parents would go to the Yamen to submit the petition, but except for the first time when the Yamen accepted it, they ignored them at all.
The conclusion in the dossier is: there is a serious lack of clues and it cannot be traced, so it will be put on hold for the time being.
The other one is the 22nd year of Jingli calendar, four years have passed since then. The missing person was named Liu Yan. She was nine years old at the time. She was born on the ninth day of September in the thirteenth year of the Jing lunar calendar. She was born on a very yin day. Her family sold steamed buns near the west gate of Licheng.
The circumstances of this case are exactly the same as the previous one. Parents are busy with their business and temporarily neglect their children. When they turn around, the children are gone. After reporting the crime, it became a backlog in the Yamen and was shelved due to limited clues and other reasons.
The reason why these two cases were brought before Shen Hao was because the two families were still worried about their children disappearing for no apparent reason, so they saw the copper cabinets set up in the Black Flag Camp. Then deliver the letter inside.
A dead horse is treated as a living horse doctor.
Perhaps, people should have such a heart.
