Chapter 100 The Strange People in the Market
Although Luo Ding made the "heart protection mirror" a little upset, he also understood that such a thing was too anxious, so he put it down for a while and then went out to take a walk. This is not only relaxation, but also maybe he could find some inspiration in this way, which would help him solve the problem himself.
However, Luo Ding was not in a big magic shop at this time, nor did he go to Feng Shui Street, but just walked slowly on a small street. Now it was the time when the night was about to fall, and Luo Ding had just finished his meal in a food stall, which was quite satisfied. With Luo Ding's income now, he could afford the more expensive things, but he still liked this food stall very much, because the food here is cheaper and more delicious, so Luo Ding has always had a special liking.
However, in a big city like Shenning City, there are not many such food stalls, and most of them are still retained in some urban villages. Therefore, Luo Ding is now in an urban village. Although such a place is not as bright and beautiful as the CBD area outside, and there is even an unknown smell in the air, Luo Ding smells a vibrant from it. This is why Luo Ding likes here the most.
The street lights in the villages in the city are mostly yellow, and after the night falls, these street lights slowly lit up one by one, and some of them are not bright. Luo Ding was walking slowly on such a small street at this time. Suddenly, Luo Ding found a small note on the wall on one side, and the words on it were written in crooked words: "The Emperor of Heaven, Emperor of Earth, I have a night crying man (or a child crying at night in his mother's room). Passersby recited it three times and slept until dawn."
Luo Ding couldn't help laughing. This is actually a folk way to cure children's crying at night. People often think that after being frightened, the "soul" will wander outside the body, and will experience symptoms such as sleep uneasy, loss of appetite, diarrhea (green loose stools), convulsions, high fever, etc. People think that this is "soul loss". If the soul is lost, you naturally have to call the soul back, and such notes will have such effects.
Luo Ding didn't care much about this before, thinking that this was just a matter of no use, but since he had the superpower in his hands, he had his own special understanding of such things that he originally thought were mysterious or superstitious.
In Luo Ding's current view, the reason why children cry at night is that the aura they are accustomed to has changed. Children are quite sensitive in this regard. They can feel the small changes, so they cry. The way to make them stop crying is to calm the aura around them. In principle, such a "soul-summoning song" is to use the power of other people's aura to try to affect the aura around them, thereby changing and calming down.
Such things may sound incredible, but they exist - things in the world do not mean that you cannot see or touch them, but they do not exist. Not only Feng Shui, but also other aspects.
Luo Ding continued to walk forward, and when he reached an intersection, he found a pile of medicinal residue on the road. Because the area of the paving was relatively large, people passing by inevitably had to step on it.
This is another folk custom, that is, if there are people who are seriously ill at home and cannot be cured for a long time, they will throw the medicine residues of the medicine they drink on the street. If someone passes by, they will step on the medicine residues, which means that the patient's illness will be taken away.
Luo Ding didn't care about it at first, so he stepped on it directly. In his opinion, if his kick could make the patient recover soon, it would be a merit. As for whether he would "contaminate" a little bit of disease when he stepped on it, Luo Ding didn't care, because even if there was such a possibility, such disease was very weak and had no effect on a healthy person.
"Huh!"
However, when Luo Ding stepped on the medicine residue, he couldn't help but be stunned, because he actually sensed aura when he stepped on it, but this aura was of course weak, so even if Luo Ding's right hand had been able to "sensate" in the air, he had never noticed it before.
After thinking for a while, Luo Ding realized that there was actually a small aura on these medicine residues. This aura was very weak and when there was no abnormal movement, it seemed to not exist at all. But when Luo Ding stepped on it, it was like he was stepping on a mechanism, and the aura changed, so Luo Ding's supernatural powers sensed its existence.
After discovering this problem, Luo Ding couldn't help but lift his foot and stepped on the medicine residue a few more times. He found that his previous sensing was not wrong. As he stepped on it, the aura on the medicine residue was like a cotton pad. Once he stepped on it, he first "pressed" it, and then "bounced" it again. However, Luo Ding soon discovered the mystery here!
In the night, Luo Ding looked towards his right direction. In that place, there was a house. Although the doors and windows of the house were closed, he could vaguely smell the fragrance of medicine coming from there.
Luo Ding smiled. He knew that the person who poured out this spoiled the slag should be from this family, and he also knew that his sensing just now was correct. It turned out that just when Luo Ding stepped on the slag, he felt that the aura like a cotton pad was rising and falling, as if it was sensing with another aura. Luo Ding's superpowers were quite sensitive to the sensing of the aura, so he immediately sensed it, so he found the family with patients.
Moreover, Luo Ding found that when his feet step on the medicine residue, the aura of the family with patients will change accordingly. He knew that this might be the effect of this custom: the aura of the family with patients must also be problematic. Using such external forces can cause the aura of the original disease that causes the disease to change, which will be beneficial to the patient's recovery.
"It seems that these so-called superstitious folk customs still have their own reasons."
Luo Ding thought to himself that this was a very novel experience for him. He had never paid attention to such things before, but today he encountered it due to an "unexpected" situation and discovered some of the secrets. This feeling was quite good.
After thinking through the truth, Luo Ding did not stop anymore, but continued to walk slowly. Although the urban village was not as bright as those office buildings or high-end communities outside, the popularity here was quite strong. At this time, people came and went on the streets. Although these people looked very tired, they had a sense of impetus, which was what Luo Ding admired the most.
Slowly, as Luo Ding walked in, the fewer and fewer people were. He knew that this was because this was already a place with a deeper urban village, so there were fewer talents, because it was the time to eat, and usually people went out to eat. Luo Ding didn't care at all. He actually had no purpose for coming out today, that is, he just walked wherever he went.
"Huh!"
Luo Ding, who was walking slowly, suddenly screamed softly and stopped. He found that he was at an intersection, which was the intersection of four alleys. The reason he screamed softly was because he sensed a evil spirit. After carefully distinguishing for a while, Luo Ding quickly confirmed that this evil spirit was coming from the alley on his right hand.
After hesitating for a while, Luo Ding immediately walked towards the place where the evil spirit came. In such a city village, because of not paying much attention to building a house, it is also the place where evil spirits are most likely to be generated. At the same time, because the distance between the houses built in the city village is relatively short, the evil spirits generated can also be more powerful. Luo Ding didn't know that it was okay, but since he already knew it, he certainly could not let it go. At least he had to figure out what was going on.
The alley was very dark, and it was night again. There was only one homemade street light on the wall in the whole alley, so the dim light added a bit of terrifying feeling. Although Luo Ding also raised his vigilance a little, he was not afraid, but continued to walk forward.
The alley is a "dead end". After Luo Ding walked about two or three hundred meters, there was a turn. After the turn, the place where he walked about ten meters was already the end of the alley.
However, when Luo Ding turned around, he found an old man standing there, as if he was looking at something.
Luo Ding's arrival obviously alarmed the old man, but the old man just glanced at Luo Ding and turned around again, as if Luo Ding did not exist. Luo Ding did not make a sound, and just stood there quietly. He "sniffed" a similar smell from the old man - Luo Ding believed that this old man was a Feng Shui master like him. At the same time, Luo Ding also believed that since he had discovered the evil spirit here, the old man in front of him also discovered the evil spirit here. In this case, the old man came here to deal with the evil spirit here. Therefore, Luo Ding couldn't say a word, and he wanted to see how the other party dealt with the evil spirit here!
The old man did not ask Luo Ding to wait for long, nor did he disappoint Luo Ding. He just looked at it for a while and started to walk to a place, pressing the things in his hand to the ground, and then slapped it directly with his hands.
Luo Ding's eyesight was quite good, so even though the light was darker here, he still saw clearly that the old man pressed a nail on the ground, or to be precise, a peach wood nail. The old man did not use tools such as a hammer, but directly slapped the peach wood nail with his hands.
Even if you don’t use cement to apply the floor in such an alley, if someone steps on it every day, the place will naturally become very hard. However, even in this case, the old man can still knock the peach wood nail pressed to the ground inch by inch!
There was only Luo Ding and this old man in the alley, and there was no one else except that. Luo Ding and this old man did not speak, so the sound of the slap was so clear that it was even more clear that Luo Ding would never doubt whether what he was seeing was fake or illusion.
"Is there really a kung fu like iron sand palm in this world?" Looking at everything in front of me, Luo Ding couldn't help but be stunned. But if there was really such kung fu, what was all Luo Ding saw now? How could this old man treat his palm as an iron hammer? However, Luo Ding soon didn't feel anything surprising. Because in comparison, the superpowers of his right hand are even more surprising. In comparison, it would be normal for this old man to practice hard qigong.
However, what surprised Luo Ding even more was still behind, that was, the old man nailed it was obviously not just one peach wood nail, but five. Luo Ding even found that as the old man nailed it more and more peach wood nailed it, the evil aura he had sensed before was gradually weakening, and the speed was getting faster and faster!
"Magic! This is really amazing!" Luo Ding couldn't help but exclaim in his heart. He didn't expect that he would just come out for a casual look today, but encountered such an "adventure". This far exceeded his original expectations, so at this time Luo Ding's eyes were "staring" on the old man's hand to see how he "uses" his kung fu. Of course, Luo Ding's attention is not on the old man's iron sand palm at all.
The last inch of the last peach wood nail was slapped into the ground by the old man. At this time, Luo Ding's eyes suddenly narrowed and then stood there motionless, because he sensed that the evil aura disappeared, not what shocked Luo Ding the most. What shocked him was that when the last inch of the peach wood nail was slapped, the evil aura was not destroyed and then dispersed, but seemed to have been absorbed into a certain place and then "disappeared".
For a moment, Luo Ding's ability was unable to figure out what was going on, and at this time, the old man had already walked towards Luo Ding.
"Haha, there are really fewer and fewer young people who can understand it now."
"I admire you!"
Luo Ding smiled and bowed to the old man. Everything the old man showed was indeed borrowing Luo Ding's words like this.
The old man nodded, said nothing, and left.
After the old man left, Luo Ding slowly walked forward a few steps, lowered his head to look at the five peach wood nails that the old man had just photographed. After a while, Luo Ding's eyes became wider and wider...
