After leaving the research institute, Hu Huaiyu drove along the coast, and when he saw fishing boats moored on the shore and children playing on the beach, he stopped the car and asked.Stop and ask, after driving seven or eight kilometers, when they approached a group of children chasing and playing by the beach, Hu Huaiyu yelled: "It's them, it's them!" His cry attracted the attention of the children, and they all surrounded him. These children were almost naked, and their skin was so dark that they glowed. They were the children of fishermen at a glance. Hu Huaiyu pointed to one of them and said, "Do you still remember me? You once sold me a strange, round big snail!"

The boy smiled: "Remember, is it delicious? I don't like it, it smells very fishy!" Hu Huaiyu took a deep breath, in this world, there is no need to imagine, there are people who have eaten live ammonites! He shook his head, and didn't know whether he wanted to say that it was not delicious or that he hadn't eaten it. He asked very clearly: "Where did you catch this big snail?" The child shook his head: "I didn't catch it, my third uncle caught it with the net." The child's third uncle is naturally a fisherman, and Chen Kesheng also became nervous at this moment: "Where is your third uncle?"

The child pointed to the distance: "On the boat!" Not far from the shore, there were several medium-sized fishing boats parked, Hu Huaiyu hurriedly said: "Your third uncle, please come, I have something important to ask him!" A few banknotes were placed in the child's hands, and the child was unambiguous, grasping the banknotes tightly in his hand, and then asked: "Is this for me, or is it for my third uncle?" Hu Huaiyu repeatedly said: "It's just for you - ask your third uncle about something, I won't waste his time!" All the fishing boats on the nearby sea knew that the director of this weird research institute was a rich man. The child cheered and waved to the other children, and everyone ran towards the sea together. After a while, the water splashed everywhere, and a group of children They were all thrown into the sea.

These children who grew up on the boat, when they got into the sea, they swam like fish, and saw white lines appearing in the sea water. It was all the waves the children made as they swam forward. It was a scene full of vitality, which made Chen Kesheng feel refreshed.After a while, children climbed onto the boat one after another, and after a while, an adult appeared on the deck, covering his forehead with his hands, looking towards the shore, and Hu Huaiyu hurriedly waved to him. The adult walked to the stern, jumped into a sampan, and rowed towards the shore. The man landed on the shore, with a thick and dark complexion. He was a very solid fisherman, about thirty years old, and said with a smile: "Director Hu, do you still remember me? Last year, you bought a dead fish from me. It's a pity that the fish is rotten! It's a pity!"

Hu Huaiyu said 'ah': "Yes, I remember!" He said, turning his head to Chen Kesheng: "Last time I saw that among the buckets of dead fish he dumped, there was one that looked like an ancient spineless fish. fish!" Chen Kesheng was stunned: "Yes, yes, no, no, what do you mean by 'seems to be'?" Hu Huaiyu sighed: "The body of the fish is already rotten, so I can't be sure. After I bought it, I didn't do any further research. It seems that he specially found ancient marine life!" The fisherman naturally couldn't understand the conversation between the two biologists, so he just looked at Hu Huaiyu with a smile: "I heard from the child that the director bought that round and flat snail? Is it useful?"

Hu Huaiyu said: "It's worth studying, I still want it!" The fisherman shook his head: "I have been fishing all my life, and this is the first time I have found such a snail!" Chen Kesheng hurriedly said, "Then, please tell us where we found it?" The fisherman scratched his head, showing a very determined expression: "Tell me to say that I can't say it, but tell me to go, I will go!" Fishermen's methods of operation are quite primitive, and there are no standard charts for reference. Where to go fishing and netting, it is all based on experience. Hu Huaiyu knew this situation, so he hurriedly said: "Take us there."

The fisherman tilted his head, looking as if he was struggling.Hu Huaiyu looked towards his boat and saw that someone was arranging fishing nets on the deck.He knew that fishermen must rest for a period of time after going out to sea, tidying up their fishing nets, replenishing fuel, waiting for the next fish season...and so on.So, he handed over another stack of banknotes: "You keep it first, and I will write you a check when I get back to the research institute!" The fisherman looked at the banknotes in his hand, was overjoyed, and agreed repeatedly.Although Chen Kesheng himself was born in a wealthy family, seeing Hu Huaiyu spend money like running water.I couldn't help but be dumbfounded, thinking about the scale of the research institute, I don't know how much it will cost to maintain it.People like Hu Huaiyu who have more fantasies than reality can be sure that they are not some business wizards.

Where does his money come from?At this time, although Chen Kesheng was suspicious, he naturally wouldn't ask.After a few days, Chen Kesheng and Hu Huaiyu got acquainted, and he once asked Hu Huaiyu when they were drinking together.Hu Huaiyu's answer was: "My previous generation left me a lot of property!" What puzzled Chen Kesheng was that when Hu Huaiyu answered in this way, his expression was twisted, he was very embarrassed, and he obviously didn't want to go any further! These are off topic.But at that time, the fisherman made an appointment with them, and he would come back in three hours so that he could replenish fuel. Hu Huaiyu and Chen Kesheng were very happy, and immediately returned to the research institute and started working.

They carefully took the animal body of the living ammonite out of the shell, and it was still quite complete. They carefully observed it and recorded it at the same time—they first used oral records, and then sorted them out afterwards. As soon as the two started working, they forgot the time until the fisherman came to the door, and the two apologized repeatedly. When they boarded the boat, they felt hungry and troubled the third aunt (the fisherman's wife) to cook a big pot of rice, using the sun-dried salt The fish served with the meal was extremely delicious. Chen Kesheng and Hu Huaiyu laughed at each other, and they both thought it was the most comfortable meal in their lives. Scientists often have such behaviors that are different from ordinary people, such as Edison’s pocket watch as an egg in water to boil. , not surprisingly.

When the boat sailed, it was in the evening. When sailing at night, the fisherman was very experienced and did not hesitate. At midnight, the two were lying on the deck, under the blowing of the sea wind, feeling drowsy. The fisherman came and told them: "Here, I am trawling here. Sometimes the net is a little deeper. The sand is dragged together, of course, when the net is pulled up, the sand will leak down, but I believe that the strange snail is in the sand." The fishermen are experienced and the scientists are knowledgeable. Although the language methods used by the two parties are different, there is no difficulty in communication.

When Hu Huaiyu and Chen Kesheng heard this, they glanced at each other. They both had a plan to use sand suction boats to find live ammonites—everyone must have understood why Chen Kesheng died in the scorching sun at the beginning of this story. Below, the work of excavating sea sand is underway.Going around in a circle, the story finally lets the listener know the outcome of one suspense, but immediately enters another suspense. This is one of the good ways to tell a story.At the same time, the two of them were also very anxious at this moment, Hu Huaiyu said: "May I ask you to catch me?" The fisherman Zheng Yizheng: "Boss, we...don't lower the net at night, but we will catch...the ghosts from the sea!" Hu Huaiyu laughed loudly when he heard this: "Fishing nets are not impermanent ghosts, how can they have the ability to restrain souls!" The fisherman's expression became very frightened, and even when there was no one pushing him, he couldn't help but backed away two steps. Muttering: "From generation to generation, it is said that we don't log off the net at night!" Hu Huaiyu got a little impatient, took out the checkbook, wrote a check with a swish, tore it off, and put it in front of the fishermen: "You will read it!" The moonlight was very good that night, and the fisherman obviously knew the number, so he was speechless for a long time before swallowing forcefully, the Adam's apple moved up and down, made a 'silky' sound, and took the check. Then, he pressed the check to his chest and muttered to himself for a while, as if wishing him well.He also called out all the people on board who participated in the operation, and announced that they would get off the net. There were four people on the boat. After hearing this, their expressions were very strange. The fisherman was talking loudly (to strengthen his courage): "Let's offer incense first, and the gods of the past will bless us!" When the Chinese are helpless, they like to rely on the power of the "gods of the past". They believe that there are "gods" around them all the time, and those gods will inevitably hear the blessings and orders. Responsibility for divine tasks. As a result, the boat got busy, first taking turns offering incense, and then surfing the Internet.Hu Huaiyu said: "Please use fine mesh." Chen Kesheng felt the same way, because living ammonites may be extremely small before they grow up, as small as the size of a fingernail.With a fine-meshed net, it will not be picked up and dropped back into the sea. Anyway, the net was about to be cast, so of course it didn't matter if the eyes were big or small. After the fisherman agreed, he muttered his best wishes for a long time. The trawling net was lowered into the sea. Hu Huaiyu was quite good at the operation of fishing boats, so he asked to go as deep as possible.The trawling operation is to sink all the way to the bottom of the sea, and then drag it over the sea bed. Even the creatures hidden in the sea bed are hard to escape. This method is often used for coral harvesting.But because this method is very destructive to marine life, and it is not necessary, the operation time is long, and it is easy to damage the fishing net, so it is not widely used by fishermen. After the net was cast, the fishing boat moved forward at a very slow speed. The people on the fishing boat, except for Hu Huaiyu and Chen Kesheng, all had strange and nervous expressions.Naturally, at this time, they were all troubled by the ancient legend that "it will bring up the wronged souls in the sea".Ancient legends, for those who deeply believe in such legends, will have a threatening power.For example, legend has it that urinating on a skeleton will cause the ghost to exact a vicious vengeance.In fact, no one would dare to do that!Fishermen have been working at sea for a long time, and the sea is ruthless, suddenly calm, and suddenly it can turn into raging waves, so fishermen pay special attention to that ancient legend, which has been kept in their minds since childhood. All very uncomfortable. The fisherman was no exception. He took out a bottle of wine and drank with several fishermen in turn. Moreover, everyone kept muttering to themselves that the fisherman's wife never broke the incense. At this time, the atmosphere on the boat was very strange. Although Hu Huaiyu and Chen Kesheng didn't believe it, everything seemed to have been deliberately arranged by a director who was very good at creating an atmosphere. I felt a chill, as if some wronged soul would be brought online from the sea! The winch that twisted the fishing net was rattling, and the thick nylon net was pulled up. Gradually, a corner of the fishing net emerged from the sea water.Seen in the night, the fishing nets stained with sea water are shining brightly, which is very pleasing to the eye. At this time, Hu Huaiyu and Chen Kesheng were standing side by side. It seemed that the manpower on the fishing boat was quite tight, but they couldn't help. At this moment, Hu Huaiyu suddenly patted Chen Kesheng on the shoulder forcefully, and said loudly: "Remember your idea? I have a further supplement, which is really wonderful!" Chen Kesheng didn't expect that he would suddenly bring up this matter at this time, but he couldn't think of it for a while. He asked: "What is my idea?" Hu Huaiyu glared at him: "You said, I am black impermanence, you are white impermanence!" At this time, the fisherman happened to be beside the two of them, and Hu Huaiyu's voice was loud. When the fisherman heard it, his face turned pale with fright, and he lost his voice, "Director Hu, don't... talk nonsense!" Hu Huaiyu saw that the fisherman looked terrified, and was as happy as a child who had played a prank. He stuck out his tongue at the fisherman, and then looked at Chen Kesheng.Chen Kesheng remembered his hypothesis, he really didn't want to entangle Hu Huaiyu in such illusory assumptions, so he didn't answer, but pointed to the fishing net that was being pulled up gradually: "Look! The net is coming up soon... ..." Hu Huaiyu refused to let it go: "That's okay, I saw something on the Internet. My new idea is so wonderful, you will definitely say that I have a rich imagination!" Chen Kesheng muttered: "There is no doubt about it!" He has not known Hu Huaiyu not long ago, and he may still know nothing about Hu Huaiyu, but there is no doubt that Hu Huaiyu has a rich imagination! The fishing net was drawn very fast, and in a short while, more than half of the net had been pulled up. The harvest of this net was not too much, because the net was already more than half full, and there was nothing to be seen except sea water. When the fishing nets were almost out of ten, I saw more than a hundred fish of various kinds, dozens of crabs and some shrimps and shellfish. Hu Huaiyu and Chen Kesheng didn't pay attention to the shellfish. The sea sand quickly leaked through the mesh, and the fish, shrimp and crabs struggled in the net. Those shellfish were all very common species, some were melon snails, some were horn snails and The frog snails did not have the ammonites they hoped for. Hu Huaiyu and Chen Kesheng looked at each other, but they were not very disappointed, because they didn't expect such good luck to get another live ammonite all at once. They are all marine biologists. They naturally know that the coelacanth, which was considered extinct by humans, was suddenly discovered on the east coast of Africa. This species was considered extinct 80 million years ago. Precious creatures, it was not until thirteen years later that the second one was discovered! There were no live ammonites in this net, and they were going to search for it for a long time. The fisherman asked beside him, "Boss, what should I do?" Hu Huaiyu said: "If you want these fish, you can keep them, but I advise you to put them back into the sea, because if any souls in the sea are caught by the net, they can be put back together!" After he said this, he looked very proud and laughed out loud. The fisherman's expression became extremely ugly, his hands clenched into fists, looking at him, it seemed that he wanted to beat Hu Huaiyu hard.But most likely at this time, he remembered the check with a lot of denomination, so he suppressed his breath and turned around abruptly.Chen Kesheng, who was on the side, looked down on him very much, and lowered his voice: "It's not funny to make fun of other people's traditional legends!" Hu Huaiyu shrugged. The fisherman and his assistant were busy opening the mouth of the fishing net and lowering it into the sea again, so that the fish, shrimp and crabs in the net could go back into the sea again. Hu Huaiyu clamored to go back again, so the fishing boat started slowly again.Chen Kesheng felt that Hu Huaiyu was too self-centered and not very easy to get along with, so he didn't talk much.Hu Huaiyu, on the other hand, was a little excited, and loudly said that he would arrange a search plan with a sand suction boat, and emphasized: "I am not afraid of any ghosts in the sea, and I will work day and night!" Chen Kesheng naturally agreed with Hu Huaiyu's plan, but he really didn't dare to compliment Hu Huaiyu's attitude, so he didn't make a sound. But Hu Huaiyu was so excited that his face turned red like he had drunk too much wine! "I have made further supplements to your idea of ​​the soul of the creature, and it is indeed possible to make the ancient creature appear again now!" Chen Kesheng said coldly: "My idea actually doesn't make sense!" Hu Huaiyu was stunned for a moment, not understanding why Chen Kesheng would backtrack. He looked at Chen Kesheng for a moment, then shook his head again.Chen Kesheng knew that if he didn't explain himself, he wouldn't give up, so he said: "I'm just joking, you think, even if you have the soul of a trilobite, you need a body of a trilobite to be resurrected. Theory There must be a body in the body before the soul can enter! Moreover, the body must be complete, fresh, and able to perform the functions of the body, you can't put the soul into the fossils of trilobites!" Hu Huaiyu listened very carefully, but he listened. After that, he still shook his head resolutely.Chen Kesheng was afraid that he didn't understand, so he further explained: "The ancient Egyptians firmly believed that after death, the soul is immortal and will come back one day. So they devoted themselves to preserving the corpse and created mummies. But they were in vain. Even if their souls come back and enter the mummy, what is that?" Hu Huaiyu murmured: "It's really terrifying!" Chen Kesheng breathed out, Hu Huaiyu finally understood, and he added: "It is useless to have the soul of an ancient creature without the body of an ancient creature, so my idea is just a clumsy joke!" Hu Huaiyu immediately picked it up: "But it inspired me to have a very interesting idea!" Chen Kesheng sighed, anyway, the fishing boat sailed very slowly, so let Hu Huaiyu talk about his "interesting idea"! So, he made a gesture to encourage Hu Huaiyu to continue speaking.Hu Huaiyu thought for a while before saying: "No one knows what the soul is like, not even the human soul, let alone the soul of a living thing!" Chen Kesheng gave a perfunctory "hmm". Facing the sea breeze, Hu Huaiyu took a breath: "My idea is that the soul is actually the genetic code of living things!" Chen Kesheng is a biologist, so he could understand the meaning of Hu Huaiyu's words as soon as he heard it. In an instant, he felt a considerable degree of shock, and he couldn't help but let out an exclamation of "ah".Although the sea breeze was very refreshing, he felt hot and irritable.He immediately understood what Hu Huaiyu meant!I also know that Hu Huaiyu's idea, although very bold and a bit appalling, is theoretically possible.Genetic code! All organisms are controlled by genetic codes. Practical science doesn't know too much about genetic codes, and only knows that they exist in the chromosomes of cells. The growth process of a living thing, its shape after growth, life instinct, etc., are all controlled by genetic codes.High-level organisms, such as humans, are controlled by genetic codes; low-level organisms, such as ants, are also controlled by genetic codes. If you have mastered the genetic code, for example, mastered the genetic code of the Chinese tree frog, inject it into the embryo of any other organism, and change the genetic code of this embryo, then the embryo will develop and grow exactly in the form of the tree frog. , grow into a tree frog. The genetic code transmits the genetic information, and the genetic information determines everything about the organism, including the external life form and internal life content. Chen Kesheng himself has never conceived of linking the soul with the genetic code, and he doesn't know if others have had such an incredible association. Hu Huaiyu may be the first person to make this association! Theoretically speaking, Hu Huaiyu's ideas go a step further than the various theories surrounding the soul! Using a human being as an example, if A's soul is inside A's body, then A will naturally be A from the outside to the inside.But if A's soul enters B's body (there is such a story of "returning the soul from a dead body" in the legend), then only the content is A, but the appearance is B. But if you master the genetic code of A, and change the original genetic code of any fertilized egg to replace it with the genetic code of A, then, after the embryo grows, it must be A in both content and appearance. !Humans can be like this, but any other creature is the same, the genetic code is the real soul of any creature! Thinking of this, Chen Kesheng couldn't help but his breath was quite rapid. He looked at Hu Huaiyu and was speechless for a moment.Hu Huaiyu could see from his expression that he had fully understood his idea, so he was very happy: "What do you think?" Chen Kesheng took another breath: "It's a very great idea. If you can master the genetic code of ancient organisms, you can naturally make ancient organisms reappear... I don't know if you have ever thought that if... it can be done like this, people... will never... It will die, anyone can be cultivated out of thin air in the laboratory as long as they have the genetic code of this person!" Hu Huaiyu also had a horrified expression, and waved his hands vigorously, as if trying to drive away this weird idea, he said: "Where can this goal be achieved, human science may never reach this point! The synthesis code of biological proteins, which one Biologists don't want the secret?" Next, he muttered vaguely to himself for a long time, and Chen Kesheng himself was intoxicated in his imagination, so he didn't hear clearly. It wasn't until the fishing boat docked that the two of them looked at each other and went ashore in a trance.As the shock brought by their vision was quite equal, they stood still for a while after landing, and Hu Huaiyu said, "I'll go back to the research institute to work, how about you?" Although Chen Kesheng also loves work and has made such a huge discovery, he has not yet reached the point of madness, so he shook his head: "I'll come back tomorrow—when are you going to announce this amazing... the greatest discovery of this century?" Great biological discovery?" Hu Huaiyu thought about it for a while, and suddenly his expression became very nervous. He held Chen Kesheng's hand with both hands: "Please keep it a secret, and don't mention it to anyone. I want to announce it when there are more living specimens." Chen Kesheng shook his head: "If there is a specimen, we can announce the discovery." Hu Huaiyu shook his head and insisted: "No, I... this may be the most important thing in my life, I have to handle it carefully!" Chen Kesheng patted the back of his hand understandingly: "This is the biggest event in any biologist's life! Well, I respect your opinion." Hu Huaiyu breathed out, and before breaking up, Chen Kesheng said again: "Starting tomorrow, I will go to Presiding over the job of finding!" Money is easy to do. The next day, I prepared for the whole morning. Since the afternoon, the sand suction boat has started to suck up a lot of sea sand on the bottom of the sea. Chen Kesheng is also working under the scorching sun, hoping to find live ammonites again.Chen Kesheng's work has not been rewarded for the time being—wait a minute, hey, isn't this story the legend of Yuan Zhenxia?Why hasn't Mr. Yuan Zhenxia appeared yet?Of course, this story is the legend of Yuan Zhenxia.There are two reasons why Dr. Yuan Zhenxia has not appeared yet.One is that what happened at the beginning of this story has nothing to do with Yuan Zhenxia at all—and it seems that there is no possibility of any relationship at all.The second reason was that Dr. Yuan Zhenxia's mood was extremely low.Yuan Zhenxia, ​​who lived alone on Wizard Island for nearly a month after Ma Xian was taken away by Cupid, seemed no better than an idiot.After Eros left, there has been no news.Originally, Yuan Zhenxia wanted to live on the Wizard Island, but Gu Tuo saw that his mood would only get worse and worse on the island, so he almost "caught" him on board and sent him back to the civilized world.With such a low mood, Yuan Zhenxia was naturally unable to work. He sat and drank all day long, drowsy, and even muttered to himself: Will Ma Xian recover?She won't become an idiot, she'll be fine, she'll be back to normal, even if it doesn't, Venus, please send her back! Those who cared about Yuan Zhenxia were all anxious about his situation, and they were all trying to figure it out. The director of the hospital is also one of the many people who are anxious. The director's solution is: do something for Yuan Zhenxia, ​​so that he can recover from his depressed mood - it is impossible to be normal unless Ma Xian suddenly appeared in front of him alive and kicking! What the dean did for Yuan Zhenxia was an administrative matter of the hospital.Early that morning, the dean sent someone to invite Yuan Zhenxia to his office. Yuan Zhenxia's cheeks were thin and listless, he was originally handsome and upright, but he seemed to be a different person suddenly, many female nurses came to greet him, almost half of them had tears in their eyes, Yuan Zhenxia just smiled wryly.He sat down opposite the dean, and the dean looked at him: "The hospital is going to be expanded, you know it!" Yuan Zhenxia didn't even bother to nod his head, he just let out a "huh". The dean pointed out, "We bought the old house on the right, including the land, which is nearly 3,000 square meters." The dean spoke very excitedly, but Yuan Zhenxia's eyes were lost, and he didn't even bother to "hmm". The dean rubbed his hands: "The owner is a strange old man, the land price is reasonable, but he put forward a series of additional conditions, I want to send you to negotiate, can those conditions not be set so harshly. " Yuan Zhenxia shook his head: "I'm not an expert in this field." The dean was a little angry, and slapped the table hard: "You can be an expert in any field, cheer up!" The dean's actions only made Yuan Zhenxia raise his eyebrows slightly, but his gaze was still distracted. The dean sighed: "I really can't send anyone else. Anyway, you have nothing to do. Why don't you find something to do? The conditions offered by the owner are extremely weird. You will be interested!" Yuan Zhenxia said to himself in his heart: "No, there is nothing that can interest me!" The dean said, and pushed another folder in front of Yuan Zhenxia: "Take it and have a look first." Yuan Zhenxia didn't even want to pick it up, his hands were still hanging down, and he didn't touch the folder.The dean's temper was so good that he opened the folder for him, and Yuan Zhenxia reluctantly glanced at it. As soon as he saw the paper in the folder, it made his eyes widen a lot. It was a stack of very beautifully printed paper, on the fine jade paper, there were light plum and stone printed on it, and there were two inscriptions in red on the lower left. ". What is written on such exquisite paper is calligraphy and cursive script. This kind of cursive script, there is probably not one person in ten thousand who can understand it. Seeing Yuan Zhenxia's attention, the dean pointed and said, "Fortunately, I have learned calligraphy, so I can understand it, how about you?" Yuan Zhenxia nodded: "I have learned cursive script and I can understand it. This... the old man's calligraphy is very good!" The dean smiled: "The style of writing is good, but it's four or six parallel prose. I really can't imagine there are such people now." Yuan Zhenxia saw that the first sentence was "Not idle garden, Yu's ancestral home is also—" He said: "Accordingly, such a person is not willing to sell his ancestral home." The dean nodded: "That's right. The hospital has been in contact with him for a long time, but he was only willing to sell it until recently. You will know other reasons after reading it!" Yuan Zhenxia took the folder: "I'll go to my office to check it out, and I'll give you an answer after reading it!" The dean made a "please" gesture. Yuan Zhenxia took the folder and left the dean's office. When he took the elevator to his own office, he naturally remembered the first time in the elevator. The first time I saw Ma Xian. That made him so sad that he closed his eyes—it seemed like many years had passed since then, but in fact, not many years had passed. After arriving at his own office, he sat on the ground for a long time before opening the folder and looking at the words written on the exquisite paper. After reading it, he couldn't help being a little dazed. The proprietor, who called himself "the old man of no leisure", had a brilliant literary talent, and he really had the taste of four or six parallel essays.He said that the Buxian Garden was built in the middle of the Qing Dynasty, and it was the foundation of his ancestors. After it was completed, the wish of his ancestors for hundreds of sons and grandchildren failed to be realized. On the contrary, the population became more and more withered. Women, all failed to have children, which made him very sad. However, the reason why he sold the old house was not for this, but because he accidentally discovered in the notes of the previous generation that the house might have been haunted by some kind of magic when it was built. It may still be in a corner of the house, or underground. Therefore, the condition he put forward was that the demolition of the old house should not use machinery, but use human hands. Moreover, every brick and every tile must be smashed to see if there is any monster hidden in it. After the entire house was demolished, the ground had to be dug three feet, also for the purpose of finding monsters. "Although Yu is seventy seventy years old, he is still strong and healthy. After getting rid of the monsters, if he has a chance to give birth, he will not be dead!" ——This is the last sentence of Old Man Buxian. Yuan Zhenxia cursed after watching it. After Yuan Zhenxia finished reading it, he wrote a few sentences first, but then he was very sad again——he thought of Maxian again. Making troubles is also a kind of witchcraft, Yuan Zhenxia thought, if there were any monsters, Ma Xian would be able to spot them at a glance!But now, where is Maxian and what's going on? He closed his eyes, and pressed the index finger and thumb of his right hand on his temples, but that couldn't alleviate the pain in his heart, so he had to take a deep breath and opened his eyes again. This seventy-year-old man with outstanding literary talent and excellent calligraphy is still obsessed with wanting to have a son—otherwise, he will be "extinct".For an old man with traditional ideas, I am afraid that there is nothing more terrifying than "extinct"!So, to put it bluntly, he was willing to sell his ancestral home in order to allow him to have children again.And he stubbornly believed that he was infertile, and the reason why his entire family was getting smaller and smaller was that when the house was being built, someone practiced a law and harmed him! Yuan Zhenxia has heard quite a few stories about being cheated when building a house. Most of them are vivid and very interesting. The forms are roughly similar. They all contain the meaning of punishing the rich and unkind or miserly, and some stories are written maliciously. Framed, or used this method to take revenge. Therefore, the consequences of casting this kind of magic can be large or small.For example, a rich and heartless rich man tends to ignore craftsmen when building a house. If he encounters someone who can cast spells, he will have a mischievous revenge, such as putting a Bolang drum on the beam. The sound of "dong dong" drums. (Young people today, do you know what a "Bolang Drum" is?) If you put a dead mouse in any corner of the house, the house will hear the sound of the mouse biting, scratching, and even look at it. To giant mouse shadows dangling around... and more. This kind of mischievous spellcasting can only achieve the effect of "unrest in the house". However, revenge or framing spells are much more vicious and terrifying, and will have bloody consequences.It's like stealing a sharp axe, and there will be a murder case in this house, and the weapon used by the murderer must also be an axe.There are even those who can make the owner of the house ransack all over the house, which is very evil and heinous. After having a certain understanding of witchcraft, Yuan Zhenxia has long regarded this kind of magic as a part of witchcraft.Therefore, he is completely acceptable to the fact that there may be monsters in the mansion.What made him frown was that he couldn't think of any way to persuade such an old man who eagerly hoped to have a next generation. It is absolutely impossible to persuade him not to do that, and if according to his conditions, it may take a year just to demolish the old house, and it will inevitably waste a lot of money! Yuan Zhenxia thought for a while, then called the dean's office and asked, "How do you meet this old man who is not idle?" Hearing Yuan Zhenxia's question, the dean knew that he was willing to accept this task, and was very happy in his heart: "About negotiating in a law firm, um, Chen Jiannan Law Firm."
