Because of my special constitution, when practicing Taoism and supernatural powers, fire magic is more acceptable to me. Because of this, I have a clearer understanding of various types of flames, such as sky fire, earth fire, and human fire. Fire, the colors of the outer flames of the three types of flames are different. The outer flames of heavenly fire are light blue, and the outer flames of human fire are light yellow. And this green and faint flame is earth fire, also called hell fire, and more A well-known name... called will-o'-the-wisp.
The effect of will-o'-the-wisps on people is more obvious than that of ghost vision. Some things that are invisible to the naked eye can reveal their true form as long as they are reflected under this kind of flame. This method is very common in practical applications. At that time, , there is a similar story in "Book of Jin".
Said: "When I arrived at Niuzhuji from Wenqiao in Jin Dynasty, I heard the sound of music at the bottom of the water. The depth of the water was unfathomable. It was rumored that there were many monsters under the water, so I burned rhinoceros horns and shined a light on them. After a while, I saw a water tribe covered with fire, with strange shapes, or riding a carriage wearing red clothes. That night, the dreamer said: "How can I be in harmony with you in Youmingdao Pavilion?" Qiao is very evil, and he will die soon."
In fact, this story has causes and consequences.
I vaguely remember that when this story happened, the emperor had just passed away, and the courtiers discussed that they should keep "Wen Qiao" in the court to assist the government, but Wen Qiao did not agree because before that, the emperor died. The emperor had entrusted this task to another person, so he returned to Jiangzhou to stop talking nonsense with them. But before leaving, this person saw that Kyoto was dilapidated by successive wars and lacked supplies. The old minister couldn't bear it, so He also raised and borrowed a batch of supplies, purchased supplies for the palace, and after serving the little emperor, returned to Wuchang.
When he walked to Niuzhuji, he saw the unfathomable depth of the river in front of him, and there was also the faint sound of instrumental music. He was very surprised, so he asked the local people to ask, and after asking, he found out that there were rumors that there were many monsters under the water. , which is not visible to the human eye. After hearing this, Wen Qiao was not in a hurry. He didn't know who he was, so he asked someone to light a rhino's horn and shine it into the water. It doesn't matter if it doesn't shine. The problem is, under the light, countless ghosts and ghosts are revealed, with strange shapes and many more.
Everyone at that time was frightened and quickly turned off the lights and fled back. But that night, Wen Qiao still dreamed of a strange-looking man who said to him: "You and I are different from each other. One is in the earth, and the other is in the world." In the underworld, people from two walks of life do not interfere with each other, so why do you use rhinoceros horns to shine on us?"
This incident made Wen Qiao very troubled, and he died not long after he went back and forth. Of course, this description does not explain how he died, but the records in the history books indicate that he died during the extraction of teeth. , as to whether his death has anything to do with this encounter, it is unknown. However, with this period of history as a backdrop, a new method that allows people to see ghosts emerged. Most people, People call this method of burning rhinoceros horns to spy on hidden objects "rhinoceros lighting", but they don't know that this method is not much different from the "will-o'-the-wisp lighting" we use.
Professor Sun must have read this historical material, otherwise, how could he have thought of this method.
With my hands in my pockets, I stood there and looked at a pile of rhinoceros horn fragments that the old man got from somewhere, not much thicker than toothpicks. I really felt that educated people are great and nothing would harm their ideas. I can figure it out.
"Here you are?" Professor Sun said after taking a moment to glance at me.
"Yeah." I said, squatting down to look at the coffin board he placed on the ground. Only then did I realize that the inside of the coffin lid was actually engraved with a lot of weird ancient characters that were fluorescent and gleaming. They should be seal characters, but...
Definitely not the big seal or small seal.
"What's written on it?" I asked as I saw him gesticulating and busy with his notebook. Hearing this, the other party made a silent gesture to me, and then he studied it without any shame.
My own. Seeing him like this, I sighed.
In fact, I have seen a lot of people like this. In the past, various scholars I met in school had a similar style. If they were not busy, they could do anything and laugh. However, if they got serious, everyone would follow them to the bottom of the sky.
It doesn't seem to matter at all.
Thinking of this, I couldn't understand the above content at all, so I had to pull up a chair and sit aside. Then, I took out a rhinoceros horn that hadn't been lit in the lamp and held it in my hand. It was black and shiny, and I looked at the quality of this thing.
, at least twenty years
The above situation has been described. You must know that the price of rhino horns on the black market is mostly several hundred grams per gram. Those with good quality are much more expensive than the same amount of gold. Such good things are sold one by one.
Burning, I always feel like I'm a bit of a prodigal.
Thinking of this, I can't help but feel a little curious. I'm wondering where these things came from. The old man's dress doesn't look like a rich man. Could it be that this guy is really an invisible man who pretends to be a pig and eats the tiger?
A rich man? Or... is he spending public money on a failing country?
Wait a moment.
Wait a minute. Wait a minute.
Suddenly I felt something was wrong. I raised my eyelids and looked at the old man's hands. Although the other man acted as if nothing had happened, his hands were shaking all the time... and they were shaking very badly.
It seems that because of his age, he seems to be very scared...
"Professor Sun, are you okay..." I asked with a slight frown.
"No, it's okay..." the other party said, pretending not to care, but after saying this, even the corners of his mouth twitched... Staring at those old eyes for a long time,
Then I turned to look at the strange lamp that looked a little evil. I shook the toothpick-like rhinoceros horn in my hand and asked him: "Professor Sun, where did you get this thing?"
"Friend, this is not a valuable gift from a friend." He said, his expression even more ugly.
"Oh, that's it." I nodded as if I suddenly understood, then stood up and looked at the security-looking old man standing at the door of the house with his hands folded in front of him like a butler, and asked him with a smile.
Said: "Professor Sun, the friend you are talking about cannot be this uncle!"
"No, of course not. This is what I asked for help." Professor Sun said and smiled, but his eyes were full of fear and uneasiness, not to mention that I have a little darkness in my heart, no matter how stupid I am.
You can also read some questions from his expression.
