Chapter 48: Don't Harm My Brother
"With ghosts, you can be a doctor, and you should be punished; indulge in ghosts, reverse yin and yang, and you will be punished by heaven; Remember, people's hearts are more terrifying than ghosts. ”
After the blind man finished reading the content of the homepage, he looked at me and twitched the corners of his mouth unconsciously.
I took a breath, opened my bag, and pulled out the tattered book that I had with me and placed it on the counter.
There is also a line of eye-catching words written on the broken book: The human heart is terrifying, and it is worse than a ghost.
The blind man picked up the broken book and flipped through it, looked at me stunned for a moment, and said, "This is a book!" ”
All I could do was nod.
The pages in the iron box are completely different from the handwriting of the broken book, but the contents are clearly inextricably linked.
It can even be said that a considerable part of the back of the page is an index of a broken book.
Moreover, the content of the index is much more than that recorded in the broken book.
Obviously, as the blind man said, the pages and my broken book are simply the upper and lower volumes of the same book.
The first half is mainly to cure ghosts, and the second half of what I learned is all about exorcism and evil spirits.
The blind man compared the two again, looked up and said, "I know at last that something is wrong with you." ”
I watched him and didn't speak.
The blind man said, "From the very beginning, I felt that you were different from other yin people, and the things you learned were by no means like wild paths, but those things of yours did not look like orthodox Dharma talismans. Domineering, berserk, every talisman? It's like just trying to achieve the goal, desperate. ”
He let out a long sigh and put down the torn book, "Now the answer is there." In this half of your book, a large part of it has been cut, and some basic things have been almost completely deleted. ”
He seemed to hesitate for a moment, and then said, "I have a very strange feeling that the person who left you this half of the book ...... It seems that there is a deliberate attempt to hide something. Its purpose is to...... Personally, I feel that the person who copied this book just wanted to create a half-witted yin who knew nothing about yin and yang in the shortest possible time. ”
"Hmm." I nodded, and was about to tell me about the 'fake face man' that year, when suddenly there was a knock on the door outside.
The blind man pointed to the box and the broken book, "Put it away." ”
When I had packed my things, he walked over and opened the door.
"Brother Xu......"
Dashuang stood at the door, carrying a bag in each hand and a large backpack on his back.
It was drizzling outside, and he looked a little embarrassed.
I was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, I promised Dashuang yesterday that he could move over at any time, but I didn't expect this guy to be in such a hurry and come early in the morning.
I first introduced him and the blind man to each other, and then found the key: "Let's go, go and put things away." As he spoke, he winked at the blind man.
Actually, I didn't have much to hide from people, but I didn't see the blind man for a while, and as soon as I met, I encountered some questions, and we didn't have time to sort them out, let alone say more to others.
Braving the drizzle, I came to No. 14, where Lao Chen used to live, and when I opened the door, a special smell came to my face.
The blind man shrugged his nose, "Heh, this old man Chen is really not an ordinary person." ”
Seeing that both Dashuang and I were looking at him, he touched his nose and looked at me and said:
"In this room, I smelled at least three rare smells of wood, and a peculiar smell of stone. Whichever of these four things, when taken out, is ten times more valuable than the same volume of gold. You say, your former landlord, isn't it very interesting? ”
I raised my eyebrows: "Look at what is valuable here, point it out, I will sell it for money." ”
After Lao Chen transferred the property under his name to me, for various reasons, I only came in twice on the 14th.
This house is similar to the number 31 where I live now, except that there are no counter shelves on the first floor, just like ordinary people, a table and two chairs, plus a cupboard, and an old-fashioned cabinet that I can't name specifically.
The second floor is simpler, with only a brown trampoline and a large wardrobe.
If there is anything special about this house, it is that in the small backyard, against the east wall, there is a stone platform piled up with stones.
Usually, this kind of rough stone countertop is used by the elderly to raise flowers and place bonsai.
There was nothing on this long stone platform, just an empty stone platform two feet wide, almost four meters long against the courtyard wall and the house wall.
After a cursory look at the first floor, I came to the back door, looked at the backyard, and asked the blind man half-jokingly, "Do you see anything valuable?" ”
The blind man did not answer me, but walked into the courtyard, raised his head slightly, and stared intently in one direction.
I stepped forward and followed his gaze, subconsciously stunned.
It's a strange feeling that is hard to describe.
His gaze was at an angle of about 45 degrees to the ground, and from this angle, he could only see the bleak sky when he looked over the courtyard wall and obliquely upward.
However, it always seemed to me that following the blind man's gaze, it seemed like something was missing.
Less......
The blind man suddenly turned his head, stared at me and asked, "You say, how many floors does the Yin-Yang Post Station have?" ”
I was stunned for a moment and blurted out, "Three floors." ”
But as soon as the words came out, I subconsciously shook my head.
I raised my hand and rubbed my head, squinted at Dashuang, lowered my voice and said to the blind man, "It should be four floors." I ...... with Dabao."
The blind man waved his hand and motioned for me not to say any more.
I'm a little cloudy, but I have an indescribable weird feeling.
The 14th and 31st have a certain distance.
Assuming that there is an ancient building like the Yinyang Post Station between No. 28 and No. 31, it is estimated according to the angle, following the blind man's gaze just now...... Through the courtyard wall of the partition, I should not be able to see the ancient building station.
But if the post station really has a fourth floor, that is, the extra attic that Dou Dabao and I have visited...... Standing here, it's really possible to see it.
"Woe to you, when I first came here, I had something to say to you." The blind man said suddenly.
"Tsk, when will you get rid of this stink?" Maybe it's because I'm too familiar, I really can't stand the blind man's half-hidden problem.
The blind man pursed his lips, as if he wanted to say something to me, but suddenly there was a coughing sound next to him.
"Brother Xu, this house... Pretty good. Dashuang walked over, his head slightly bowed, his face a little red, but his eyes were slanted to the side of the courtyard.
"Okay, make do with it."
I said casually, and looked at the blind man, but saw that his eyebrows suddenly twisted, and a pair of eyes squinted at a large pair, and he didn't turn for a long time.
Dashuang also noticed his strangeness, and nodded at him with some curtle: "Brother Liu...... You...... You...... You take care of it. ”
"It's because you take care of it, right?" The blind man suddenly raised his voice and said.
"Huh?" Dashuang was stunned.
I was also stunned, and then asked the blind man, "What's the situation?" ”
The blind man shook his head, and suddenly he grabbed me, and went straight through the room to the door.
Then, he turned around and bowed deeply three times towards the door of room 14.
Dashuang ran over and stood at the door, looking at the scene in front of him at a loss.
The blind man straightened up, but said with a blank face: "I can see this place thoroughly today, this person ...... and people's hearts...... Hehe, I'm afraid that my master and his old man came in person, and I can't understand what the Tao is. ”
The corners of his grinning mouth drooped suddenly, his eyes stared at Dashuang, and he said word by word: "In a word, I can do nothing, but don't harm my brother." ”
