On the third night after I was discharged from the hospital, Huang Yixian arrived in the provincial capital, and Professor Dong personally went to the station to pick him up. After he arrived, he did not go to the hotel or Jianjian's place, but went straight to our school.
When I saw Huang Yixian's thin figure at the door of the dormitory building, I suddenly felt an inexplicable emotion in my heart. However, this emotion disappeared within less than two seconds, because as soon as he saw me, he immediately rushed to me.
When he came, he cursed me angrily regardless of what was happening. In front of Professor Dong and another middle-aged man who came with him, he cursed me for nearly ten minutes, with Professor Dong helping me.
It was useless for me to say nice things. He even brought up the story about me secretly swimming in the river with Jianjian when I was a child. He didn't stop until Uncle Chen, who was guarding the dormitory, thought something was going on outside and ran out to stop him.
After he finished cursing, he walked up to me again, carefully examined the wound on my temple, and asked with concern: "Does it still hurt?"
I quickly shook my head: "It doesn't hurt anymore!"
"Damn it, if I find that damn guy, I'm going to beat him to death!" He started yelling at the guy who sneaked up on me again.
Professor Dong standing aside, perhaps worried that he would scold him for another ten minutes, hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Mr. Huang, let's get down to business first."
"Yes! Yes! Let's get down to business!" Huang Yixian said as he took out a long-distance bus ticket and two dining tickets from his pocket, handed them to Professor Dong, and said seriously: "Professor Dong, you have to go back later."
Could you please reimburse me for the bus ticket and the food on the way? The total is ninety-seven and a half yuan."
Professor Dong took the note with a look of shame on his face. He probably never thought that this was the "business" that Huang Yixian said. He didn't know that Huang Yixian was such a person. He helped others do things without giving back a penny.
, whether it is a piece of talisman paper or half a match, he will always collect money from the other party. In his words, when you do this kind of thing for others, you must not put money in yourself, otherwise you may get into trouble. As for what exactly is there?
Without this, there would be no way to verify it.
After being stunned for a moment, Professor Dong quickly took out his wallet, took out a few hundred-dollar bills and handed them to Huang Yixian: "Here, Mr. Huang, take these hundreds of dollars and use them first! The hotel has been booked, and it's at the school.
Next door is the Century Jinyuan Hotel. We will also make arrangements for meals, so you don’t have to worry.”
Huang Yixian took the money unceremoniously and raised his hand towards Professor Dong: "Thank you very much Professor Dong!" Then he took out a piece of paper from his pocket, handed it over, and said: "It says I am on it.
Please transfer the 50,000 yuan deposit to your bank account number here."
Professor Dong quickly took the note and said: "Mr. Huang, please rest assured that the money will not be less. Tomorrow, someone will come to the hotel to sign the contract with you. After signing the contract, the deposit will be credited to your account as soon as possible."
."
Huang Yixian nodded, pointed to the Huangtu Ridge next to him, and said, "Is this the tomb you are talking about?"
"Yes, it's right here!" Professor Dong replied.
Huang Yixian took out the compass from his satchel and said, "Since we're here, let's take a look." Carrying the compass, he walked to the wall between the campus and Huangtu Ridge, and walked slowly along the wall.
Walk forward, looking down at the compass in your hand from time to time.
Professor Dong and I, as well as the middle-aged man who came with us, also followed closely. However, after walking for a while, there was no abnormality in the compass.
Huang Yixian frowned, turned around and asked me: "Is the burglary cave you mentioned really inside this wall?"
I nodded and said, "It's right inside, less than ten meters away from the wall."
"That's strange. Why doesn't the compass respond at all? Could it be that the Yin Qi in the tomb has not escaped yet?" Huang Yixian was a little puzzled. He pondered for a moment, suddenly thought of something, and asked me again: "You were on the phone two days ago.
Say, there is a locked door in that robbery cave?"
"Yes, it's a black wooden door, and there are Bagua and Lu inscriptions painted on the door."
"Could it be to lock the ghost gate?" Huang Yixian was slightly startled.
Professor Dong asked curiously: "What's the meaning of locking the ghost gate?"
Huang Yixian said: "Lock the ghost door is actually equivalent to a door talisman, which is to draw runes on the door, specially used to ward off evil spirits and suppress ghosts. The material for locking the ghost door is usually made of peach wood soaked in black dog blood, so it looks like
It looks black and jujube in color. However, the method of making a ghost door is actually very complicated. I thought it had been lost a long time ago! I didn’t expect that there are still people who know about it."
"Then what will happen if we have this locked ghost gate?" Professor Dong continued to ask.
Huang Yixian replied: "Lock the ghost door can lock the Yin energy in the tomb, and can also prevent the evil things in the tomb from coming out to hurt people. They must know that there are blood corpses in the tomb, so they installed such a locked ghost door. It seems,
These guys are not simple."
I asked in confusion: "Since there is a locked ghost door, why were my classmates possessed by ghosts before? And when I was attacked by someone the night before yesterday, I also made a strange sigh to scare the guy away.
How to explain this?"
Huang Yixian glared at me: "You brat, I haven't looked inside, so how could I know so much!"
I stuck out my tongue and quickly shut up.
Huang Yixian looked around again, and his attention suddenly focused on the lotus pond between the two dormitory buildings, and asked: "Why is there a pond there?"
Before I could answer, the middle-aged man who came with Professor Dong said: "The pool existed before the school was built. When the dormitory was built, it was originally intended to be filled up, but it was discovered that the pool was filled with water.
The water in the pond is quite deep, with the deepest point being more than ten meters deep! Moreover, the water in the pond seems to be inexhaustible. After pumping for two whole days, the water level has not dropped at all, because the pond water cannot be filled until it is drained.
, In addition, some people later thought that leaving such a lotus pond could be regarded as a scenery on the campus, so it was preserved."
I didn't expect that this middle-aged man was actually quite familiar with the history of our school. Even I didn't know these allusions. I couldn't help but look at him a few more times and felt that he looked familiar, but I couldn't remember where I had seen him before.
After hearing what the middle-aged man said, Huang Yixian frowned, pondered for a moment, and said, "Let's go! Go take a look at that pool."
The group of people walked to the lotus pond. There was no wind tonight, and the willow trees around the pond were motionless with their long branches hanging low, adding a bit of a strange atmosphere.
On the calm surface of the pool, bubbles emerge from the bottom of the water from time to time, making a "gurgling" sound.
I glanced at Professor Dong, stepped forward and said to Huang Yixian: "Uncle, there is something strange in this lotus pond."
"What's weird?"
I told Huang Yixian that Liu Yan and Dong Xiaodan committed suicide by jumping into the pool one after another. After hearing this, he did not show much surprise, but said lightly: "Judging from the topography, this pool is exactly at the entrance of the tomb.
It is easy for Yin Qi to accumulate, and the pond is surrounded by weeping willows that can lock Yin Qi. Over time, some evil things will inevitably happen."
"Then how to resolve it?" the middle-aged man asked from the side.
"Let me take a look first!" Huang Yixian said, lying down, holding the compass in one hand, and stretching as far as possible toward the water.
The three of us stretched our necks and stared at the compass. Suddenly, the compass needle trembled slightly and turned counterclockwise by more than ten degrees.
Huang Yixian took the compass back and took a look at it. His face suddenly changed and he exclaimed in shock: "This...how is this possible..."
Professor Dong quickly asked: "Mr. Huang, what's wrong?"
Huang Yixian slowly raised his head and said: "There are many Yin spirits gathered in this pool, and they are very resentful. I am afraid that many people have died in it."
"What...what!?" Professor Dong immediately turned to look at the middle-aged man and asked, "Has anyone ever committed suicide by jumping into this pool before?"
The middle-aged man hurriedly waved his hands and said, "How is that possible? This is the first time this has happened since our school was founded. There has never been any accidents in this lotus pond before."
Huang Yixian explained: "When I said a lot of people died, I didn't mean recently. It should have been hundreds of years ago."
"Hundreds of years ago? Could it be related to this tomb?" Professor Dong seemed to understand something.
Huang Yixian nodded and said, "It's very possible! There is endless water in this pool, and bubbles appear in the water from time to time. It must be because it is connected to the underground chamber, and the Yin Qi in the tomb gathers through the water veins.
Here, over time, it will gather into a spirit of ghostly resentment."
"Then why didn't something happen until recently?"
"It's hard to say. The two girls jumping into the pool should be caused by ghosts. The so-called ghosts are actually some unstable people who are affected by the resentment of ghosts. The reason why this kind of thing has never happened before, maybe
It's because the resentment accumulated in this pool in the past was not enough to affect people's minds. It may also be because those tomb robbers dug holes and affected the earth's energy around the tomb, causing a large amount of Yin energy to gather in this pool."
After listening to what Huang Yixian said, the middle-aged man asked eagerly: "Then Mr. Huang, can you find a way to resolve the ghost resentment in this pool?"
Huang Yixian pondered for a moment, then suddenly took out several paper charms from his bag, raised his hand, and the paper charms spontaneously ignited without fire. He muttered something in his mouth, and after the paper charms were fully burned, he threw them on the water.
Sprinkle the paper ash into the pool.
Professor Dong and the middle-aged man were stunned. They didn't know that the reason why Huang Yixian was able to make the paper talismans spontaneously ignite without fire was due to the use of white phosphorus. However, this trick was not particularly particular, whether it was using fire or white phosphorus.
The effect of lighting the paper talisman is the same, it is purely to add a sense of mystery.
