Chapter 11 Chapter Seven: The Spirit Summoning Game (Part 1)

After finally finishing speaking, I swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said in a deep voice: "Superstitions and legends are the products left over from human culture, so the so-called existence has its rationality. But, do you all believe in these superstitions?" The night came suddenly. The word "suddenly" is used because it was really sudden.The sun went down suddenly, night fell suddenly, and then it was nine o'clock. My brain is still dizzy. There are too many things I have seen and known today, and my thinking is in a mess, and I can't effectively connect the beginning to the end.

When I returned to Yinlou again, I saw Zhou Chaofan who was waiting anxiously downstairs. "Night silence, you are finally here." Nervously, he took out a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped the sweat from his forehead. I gave a soft "hmm" and still lowered my head as a greeting. Seeing that I was unwilling to speak, he walked to my side without humming. "Has everyone been found?" I still couldn't figure it out, so I just gave up.There are still too few clues! "Done." "So are they all here?" "It's here." Zhou Chaofan seemed to feel that the answer was too simple, and added: "They all went to the mass grave and waited."

"Who are they?" "Except for you, my cousin and me, the other three are all middle school students from our country." After hesitating for a long time, he suddenly asked hesitantly: "Yebuyu, last time you and Yunhan mentioned the head-bending technique and Gu or something. You explained the head lowering technique very clearly, so what exactly is Gu?" "I can't tell, you're very curious about these things." I glanced at him. Zhou Chaofan immediately laughed terrified, no matter how he looked at the smile, he felt embarrassed. I glanced at him again, and then explained: "Gu, according to legend, is a kind of poisonous insect cultivated artificially. Putting Gu is a mysterious witchcraft inherited from ancient China.

"In the past, in the southern villages of China, there used to be a lot of trouble. Talking about it turned pale, and no one dared to think it was fake. Scholars of letters passed it on to each other, and the writing was so powerful that it seemed to be true. Part of it Many medical experts also believed it to be true, so they came up with many tricks of Gu. It is said that there are eleven types of Gu. , Malnutrition Gu, Swelling Gu, Insanity Gu, Yin Snake Gu, Raw Snake Gu. In the past, some people only used Gu to make money and kill..." Zhou Chaofan listened intently. After a long time, he was so impressed that he said, "I heard that Xiao Ye is very knowledgeable. I didn't expect that you even know such a remote thing. I checked in the library for a long time. , I can’t even find out your detailed explanation. Then, what about the head drop technique? There should be a solution!”

Depressed, why do the people I get along with slowly and always call me Xiao Ye?Could it be, am I really small?Or do I look small in size? I couldn't help touching my face, and explained unhappily: "Of course there is. The head-down technique is very popular in Nanyang. Many people are afraid, so they often ask the head-down masters to break and defend. Slowly The method has become the most common common sense passed down from family to dictation. "There are a total of 20 solutions to the common head lowering technique. I don't know much about these methods, but it is said that everyone has different fortunes in different periods, and the obvious manifestation is the physiological cycle of physique. Of course, we When you are at a low tide, you are more likely to be persecuted by the head-down technique. In addition, when you encounter a researched spellcaster or an opponent with a special natural physique, your own knowledge and physique become very important accordingly..."

When the explanation was over, the mass graves also arrived. The wind at night was very strong, as if an invisible hand was pulling my clothes vigorously.Suddenly feeling very cold, he shivered violently, and wrapped his coat tightly, but it didn't work at all. This place is really famous, no wonder the locals are scared.I looked around casually, and saw that the mass graves were densely packed with darkness, and the dark green phosphorous fire in the night, faintly exuded a cold color. Not far away, a faint orange flashlight could be seen, as if there were several figures around. Thinking of something, I suddenly asked, "What's your relationship with Zhao Yunhan?"

"I have nothing to do with my sister-in-law!" Zhou Chaofan obviously misunderstood and waved his hands hastily. "No way, it doesn't matter if you're calling so intimately? I'm not a fool!" I laughed angrily, too lazy to explain.I'm afraid this misunderstanding has spread throughout the school. Alas, some things really get more troublesome the more you explain them. It's wiser to keep silent. "It really doesn't matter." Zhou Chaofan was so anxious that he almost cried, as if I had done something horrible to him, "She forced me to scream like that, and...and she also took the initiative to find me, Forcing me to tell her what happened to my cousin, that's all!"

"It shouldn't be that simple." I crossed my arms and stopped, "Why didn't she force me?" "God, who are you Yebuyu, who dares to force you!" Zhou Chaofan yelled wronged, "Zhao Yunhan once told me that if anyone can help my cousin, it must be you, Xiaoye. She also told I must find a way to arouse your curiosity, otherwise, my cousin will definitely not survive the next week." I frowned.What exactly does that Zhao Yunhan want to do?What is the purpose of her series of weird actions?Headache. For a long time, I have encountered many strange and bizarre things, and I have also met many strange and inexplicable people, but only this woman I can't guess, and I can't even guess what she will do next.

To be honest, my curiosity about her even surpassed the event itself. "Xiao Ye, it's half past nine." Seeing me in a daze, Zhou Chaofan reminded me in a low voice. I nodded, "Let's go." In the place where the flashlight was shining, there were four people standing.Except for Zhou Lei whom I know, the other two women and one man are all the same age as me.The man is rebellious and unruly, with a feeling that he doesn't take people very seriously. The girl stood with her hands down gently, with a pure face, and looked at me curiously.The other has long hair that covers both cheeks, making it difficult to see her true appearance, but judging from her figure, she should be a beautiful woman.

The girl seemed to have something on her mind as she kept stepping on the dirt in front of her with her shoes. "This is Xu Hui, a handsome young man who was famous in our school when he was in middle school." Zhou Chaofan pointed to the boy and introduced him, then turned to the gentle girl, "This is Xu Xi, a beautiful woman who is curious about everything. I said, if there is something interesting, I will drag me to join it." Xu Xi's gentle and beautiful face twitched slightly, and then smiled happily. This series of complicated expressions fell into my eyes, and my mind was like a stirring five-flavored bottle, and all kinds of feelings rushed up.Strangely, things don't seem to be as simple as Zhou Chaofan said!

Finally, he pointed to the long-haired beauty and said, "This is Zhang Yingxue, the high school belle of our country." I didn't wait for him to introduce myself, so I said first, "My name is Ye Buyu, and I'm Zhou Chaofan's current classmate. All handsome men and beauties, you should know the purpose of coming here, right?" Xu Hui snorted, "Isn't it just to play a game?" "Yes, it is indeed just a game, but this game is not ordinary." I lowered my voice mysteriously. It doesn't matter, although it seems that these three people did not come willingly, but I can't worry about it, as long as there are enough people.Zhou Chaofan, this guy really doesn't seem to be simple. "Whatever the game is, start it quickly, I have to go home and do my homework when it's over." Zhang Yingxue raised her head and said impatiently, her long hair slid to the sides, finally allowing me to see her face clearly.That face is beautiful, but I always feel like I have seen it somewhere. Ignoring their different attitudes, I took a long breath slowly, and then I said slowly: "Before playing this game, I have to ask a question first. Do you all know some superstition stories?" As soon as this question was uttered, the expressions of the five people next to him became more complicated. Xu Hui gave me a very unfriendly look, hesitated to speak, and said after a long time: "I only heard that if you look at the cracked mirror, you will be sucked into the mirror. If the eyes of the thirteenth face are closed, then this person will soon return to the west." When someone speaks first, the number of people behind will naturally increase. Xu Xi also said: "It is said that if the four walls of the room are covered with posters, it is easier to be crushed by ghosts, because the ghosts cannot go out of the room. Also, before going to bed, the four people who looked at the room If you sleep in the corner, you will be crushed by ghosts and unable to move." Zhou Lei scratched his head, "I heard that when you see a hearse or a funeral, you should hide your thumb, otherwise your parents will die miserably. Some people say that it is not good if you don't stop breathing temporarily. When I was a child , I once saw a hearse while riding a bicycle, but in order to hide my thumbs, I let go of my hands, and finally fell down with both people and the car! I am ashamed to die!" Zhou Chaofan thought for a while, "I heard from my grandma that if you keep staring at the ceiling at nine o'clock, there will be a sound of 'Boom! Boom!' from the window. Otherwise, he will die miserably in a few days." It was Zhang Yingxue's turn, she hesitated, and then said: "If you see a short-tailed cat, you will lose your love; if you see a black cat on Saturday afternoon, something bad will happen; if you see a black cat, you will lose love. If you don't take three steps back, something unfortunate will happen. But it's all bullshit." I nodded and continued the topic with satisfaction, "Actually, there are many similar superstitions and legends. For example: if you trim your nails on Friday night, you will lose your relationship. You can't look in the mirror at two o'clock in the middle of the night, otherwise, you will see people other than yourself .If the number on the admission ticket is divisible by seven or three, you will be admitted! "It is said that if a couple stands on the left and right sides of the tree and pokes their faces out to take pictures, they will definitely break up in the future; even if they get married, they will get divorced! There are many ghosts in the four corners of the bathroom ceiling, and they will take advantage of people's presence Killing people while washing their hair. If you feel itchy deep in your ear, something good will happen the next day. If your left ear itches in the morning, something good will happen that day. This superstition is quite good, after all, it is a good thing no matter what.” After a pause, I continued: "There are also some, for example, when many people were talking but suddenly fell silent, it was said that an angel passed by in the sky, but some people also said that a demon passed by. "It is said that people with long hair are more likely to see ghosts. If you lean your back against the wall to study at night, an old lady will run out from the wall and pat the person who is studying on the back twice. You must not turn your head this time, or your head will be slapped. She cut it off. If you haven’t seen a ghost before the age of twenty, you won’t see it in your life. Similarly, if you haven’t been oppressed by a ghost before the age of twenty, you won’t have one in your life. White spots, and someone will give you the gift you want." After finally finishing speaking, I swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said in a deep voice: "Superstitions and legends are the products left over from human culture, so the so-called existence has its rationality. But, do you all believe in these superstitions?" This question caused another silence among the five people. Looking at their unhappy faces, I am completely sure that each of these guys has their own reasons for coming, and it is definitely not just for fun. I'm afraid some people, they don't even want to come, just for some reason or reason, they can't refuse. "If you don't believe me, no one would believe such a stupid thing." It was Xu Hui who was the first to break the deathly silence. "I don't believe it either." Zhang Yingxue answered very simply this time. Xu Xi thought for a while, "I kind of believe it, just like astrology fortune-telling. I'm afraid I'd rather believe it than believe it. The result of many people's iron teeth is still to make themselves suffer." Zhou Lei nodded sympathetically, "I didn't believe in these strange things before, but now I have to believe it!" "What about you?" I asked, looking at Zhou Chaofan who bowed his head silently. "I believe." He answered concisely, with a rare lack of tension in his tone. "Very good." I nodded again with satisfaction, "Then, let me ask one last question. There are five members of a family, namely Xiaoming, younger brother, father, mother, and grandfather. In short, we are called Xiaoming's family for the time being. They go out to Traveling, but on the way, there is a river that must be crossed, and there is a single-plank bridge on the river. And the weather is not good. When we came to the river, it was already night, and it was dark and dangerous when crossing the bridge, so we must have lights. OK. Now we know that it takes one second for Xiao Ming to cross the bridge, three seconds for Xiao Ming's younger brother, six seconds for Xiao Ming's father, eight seconds for Xiao Ming's mother, and twelve seconds for Xiao Ming's grandfather. Each time the bridge can be crossed in at most two seconds People, and the speed of crossing the bridge depends on the slowest person crossing the bridge, but after the light is lit, it will go out in 30 seconds. At that time, no one can pass, and the great travel plan cannot be carried out. Go down. Then, how can Xiaoming’s family cross the bridge in thirty seconds?” Immediately, everyone was stunned by my question. No one understands what I want to do, but just stares at me with dull eyes, obviously not jumping from supernatural problems to mathematical calculations.
