Chapter 40 Chapter 39 Qiu Shu

After Qin Yiheng said this, he kept smoking, probably because he wanted me to digest it.For a while we were all silent.I analyzed it a little bit in my head, and barely understood what he meant.However, there are too many doubts, and I still can’t understand after going around and around. Just sitting like this makes my head even more confused, so I stood up and walked a few steps, trying to change my mind.Suddenly it occurred to Qin Yiheng that there was something on the wall here, so I scanned it with a flashlight.Sure enough, someone actually wrote a few lines of numbers with a marker on the wall.I have never been very talented in mathematics. After a closer look, I feel that these numbers do not have any special rules, nor do they seem to be calculated.I muttered a little, lowered my head and thought for a while, and always felt that there was something wrong with these numbers.

I asked Qin Yiheng what he thought, and when he heard my question, he also stood up and came over, saying that he had just jotted down these figures in a hurry, and didn't have time to think about them. Judging from his posture, he probably left them behind by the people who came in before. . He didn't have a clue, let alone me, so I just sat down and waited for dawn.I glanced at my watch, it was already past 4 o'clock in the morning, and it would not be long before dawn.By this time, I was really tired.As soon as I sat down, I felt a little sleepy, but a thought suddenly flashed in my head, I seemed to know what the numbers on the wall were.Thinking of this, I suddenly regained my spirits. The numbers on the wall are not calculation records at all, but time.

I stood up and looked at the numbers carefully, and the more I looked at them, the more I felt that my guess was correct.Although it is not possible to correspond to all the numbers, some of the numbers must be time.In daily life, when we record time, we generally add colons between hours and minutes, and these numbers are written compactly; secondly, there are no colons, so it seems difficult to associate time with people. I immediately told Qin Yiheng my reasoning, and he nodded quickly after hearing this. Now, although the numbers on the wall have some clues, but I compared them, only some of the numbers can correspond to the time, and the other numbers are still unpredictable.In the current situation, I didn't have the time to think about it anymore, so I took out my phone from my bag, and planned to write down the numbers and wait until dawn.Just halfway through memorizing, I heard Qin Yiheng say "Hey" behind me, and when I turned around, I saw him pointing a flashlight at the corner of the wall, as if he had discovered something.I was confused for a moment, remembering that there was someone outside the hole before, and I was so busy thinking for a while that I ignored such an important thing.I quickly scanned them with my flashlight, and the outside of the three holes was pitch black, but I didn't see anyone there. After a closer look, I realized that Qin Yiheng had been shining on an object in the corner.

This room isn't that big, but after a quick glance, I still can't see clearly.I didn't pay attention when I came in just now, and I don't know when it was placed here.But the last time I came to this room, I looked it over carefully. The room was definitely empty. Could it be that someone came after we left?Is it Yuan Zhen? I asked Qin Yiheng a question, but he ignored it, and walked towards that thing cautiously instead.I saw that his posture seemed to be quite nervous, so I followed him with a flashlight.After walking two or three steps, I realized that there was something similar to a round tripod in the corner. It was not very big, and it seemed to be similar to the one found on the roof of the village chief's house.

I asked Qin Yiheng, why did this thing come here?He looked back at me, shook his head, then walked to the side of the object, looked it up, and suddenly shouted, "Damn it, it's Qiu Shu!" I was startled by his shouting. Although I am a typical layman in alchemy, I have been fighting with him for so long, and I have been affected by it. Qin Yiheng told me about this before, so I heard him say so. As soon as I said it, my scalp felt a little numb. Qin Yiheng said that the so-called Qiu Shu is a general term for things that can "disturb others".This "may" is similar to "ke", and we often confuse them in daily life, but strictly speaking, they are two different things.To put it simply, "wrong" comes from the outside, such as a person's appearance.And "restraint" comes from the inside, and most of them are restrained by the horoscope of birth date, numerology and five elements.There are many things that can "disturb people". The famous one is the theory of Luma Huanzhu in the Three Kingdoms period, and "disturbance" is not limited to animals or even creatures, trees, objects, and even certain parts of people or animals. This move can actually be regarded as "disturbing".In many places, it is still a common saying that children cry for a long time.China has a vast territory and customs vary from place to place, so the understanding of "disturbing others" is not uniform.For example, the customs in many places believe that domestic dogs are all of the same color, and those with white four-legged feet will be "disturbing". The four deflections of the house are solved; while the domestic cat is all in one color, and the tip of the tail is white, it will also be "disturbing", and the method is the same as that of dealing with dogs.And these chopped off dog feet and cat tails are called Qiu Shu.

At the beginning, Qin Yiheng told me all kinds of hatreds, and the scope of the coverage was too broad, so I only remembered these few.Now when I suddenly heard him talk, I hurried over to have a look, but I was very surprised when I saw it. There was something inside the tripod, which was quite full, but I couldn't tell what it was at first glance.I asked Qin Yiheng, is Qiu Shu in it?Why does it look so strange? Qin Yiheng gave a "hmm" and told me that it was full of human nails, which were all pulled out from the fingers.I gasped immediately. Although the cauldron is not big, the nail cover is only as big as it looks. The whole cauldron is about to be filled. How many people's nails must be inside?Where the hell is this collected from?

Qin Yiheng said that these were the nails of the dead, and it was actually easy to collect them if he knew someone who was an employee of the crematorium.Now, the big question is, how did this tripod come to be here?As he said that, he squatted down and turned around to check, then looked up and told me that this is the one we found on the roof of the village chief's house before, and he didn't run away. After finishing speaking, Qin Yiheng stood up, scanned the entire room with a flashlight, and continued, the dead man's nails are a kind of Qiu Shu. If they stay at home, they will attract evil and bring bad luck. There is nothing special about stacking them here. Things happen, but still can't stay long, we have to go out early.

I was quite happy to hear that he was going to leave the ancestral hall.It's really depressing to stay here, I just want to find a place to sleep.So, I ran to the corner to get my backpack. As soon as I put it on, I heard the faint sound of iron chains coming from outside. I immediately looked at Qin Yiheng, obviously he heard it too, and was frowning.I asked in a low voice, I heard this voice before, could it be that someone broke through the iron gate again? But he shook his head, and then suddenly his face changed drastically, and he quickly shouted at me, this is a fucking prisoner with an iron chain hooked on the collarbone, quickly put the bag under the feet, don't touch the ground , or we are dead!

After finishing speaking, before I could react, he sprayed blood all over my face in one gulp.I was already flustered enough, and now I was even more flustered when he spat out the blood.Looking at Qin Yiheng, it is estimated that he is too anxious to consider the strength. He bit the tip of his tongue too hard, and now the blood is all over his chin!I know that this time things are really troublesome, even he started to harm himself!Hastily stepped onto the backpack. Our backpack is an outdoor brand-name product, and it should be of good quality, but the contents of my bag are not enough. When I stand on it, although it barely touches the ground, in fact, the thinnest part is only separated by two layers of cloth.Now I'm even more nervous, I don't know if this counts as leaving the ground, seeing that Qin Yiheng is still rummaging for something in the bag.The air is so oppressive that people are almost suffocating, because the sound of the iron chain is getting closer and closer to me!

I was afraid that Qin Yiheng didn't hear the sound of the iron chain approaching, and couldn't care less, so I yelled, Qin Yiheng!What are you looking for? He didn't look back, but he was looking for things more quickly, and he threw everything on the ground.After another ten seconds—these ten seconds are simply too long—he turned around, and I saw clearly that he was holding a string of firecrackers in his hand, and shouted at me, lighter! I hurriedly took out my pocket, but I was so nervous that my hands were shaking under such circumstances, and I still couldn't find it after searching for a long time.Qin Yiheng became anxious all of a sudden, his voice was close to roaring, why the fuck is your bag so deflated?Don't you want to stand taller?

I said, there's nothing fucking in this house, where do you want me to stand? During the time I was talking, I had already touched the lighter and threw it to him in a hurry.He took the lighter and immediately asked me to lie on his back, remembering to lift my feet.I had no choice but to jump behind him in three steps and two steps.As soon as he exerted his strength, he carried me on his back. Qin Yiheng's physique is not strong, and I am not a very thin person. It is okay for him to stand up for a while, but it may be difficult if he stands up for a long time.I don't know how long it will take to finish that prisoner. Anyway, judging from the current situation, it may be very difficult. Qin Yiheng told me to close my eyes, if there is a messenger escorting the prisoner, the person who saw it will die in the near future!Damn it, it was that Qiu Shu who brought them here, someone wanted to kill us! After finishing speaking, Qin Yiheng began to move towards the corner step by step. I couldn't see because I closed my eyes, but my instinctive sixth sense told me that something was about to enter this room!This feeling of depression is too strong, stronger than any I have encountered before, and it is so frightening that people just want to pee their pants.However, I suddenly thought that he told me to raise my feet and close my eyes, so what should he do?Damn, doesn't he mean that he is going to die with the other party? I quickly asked Qin Yiheng, what should I do next?He didn't answer.I obviously felt that the whole room was cold in an instant. This coldness didn't seem to be caused by the skin, but a chill from the bottom of my heart without warning.I wanted to say more, but my butt was pushed against the wall in a daze.It was quite painful, and I let out an "oops".Qin Yiheng suddenly told me, straighten your legs, I will push you out of the vent, and then I will reach out, and you will pull me out! Straightening your legs is easy to say, but really difficult to do.I almost exhausted all my breastfeeding energy. I barely used my waist to straighten my legs as much as possible, and tried to find the hole with my feet.As soon as I did this, Qin Yiheng's body shook, and he couldn't hold it anymore.Now I was even more panicked, but the more panicked I couldn't find the hole, the more I groaned for half a minute, I finally found the hole, and after I told Qin Yiheng, he leaned back and pushed me forward. In the mouth of venting evil spirits. Fortunately, the hole was not too small, and the process of getting out was relatively smooth.When the whole person stepped on the ground outside, I was almost drenched in sweat. I don't know if I was scared or tired just now.However, I didn't have time to rest, so I quickly reached out to pull Qin Yiheng, but he didn't extend his hand as agreed. I thought to myself, don't let anything happen to you, if you tell him you're inside, I'm afraid I'll feel guilty for the rest of my life, so I yelled inside and told him to come out quickly.He responded, but he still didn't move, he could only hear his messy footsteps, and he didn't know what he was busy with.I was so distraught, but there was nothing I could do to help. This feeling of helplessness was really uncomfortable.I just wanted to squat down and look inside, but I was afraid that I would get caught because of it. After waiting for a while, I heard Qin Yiheng yell my name, and then his hand stretched out from inside, and then the sound of firecrackers crackled in the room.I quickly pulled him out.As soon as he stood still, he immediately turned around and spat out a mouthful of blood into the hole. He didn't even bother to stop, and told me to run after him. The two of us ran all the way, I can’t remember how far we ran, and fortunately there were no potholes along the way, and we didn’t sprain our feet. Finally, when it was dawn, he waved and said that we could stop. He collapsed on the ground panting heavily.I asked Qin Yiheng what he was doing inside just now, and I almost panicked to death. He took a few breaths before saying that he wanted to come out immediately, but there was a book in the bag that recorded the numbers on the wall, so he had to take it out.After finishing speaking, he spit out a few mouthfuls of bloody saliva, and told me that today is also thanks to the fact that it is almost dawn, otherwise the two of us would be in dire straits.After speaking, he stretched out his hand to show me, only then did I realize that one of his hands had been blown up horribly, probably because he had been holding firecrackers just now.
