In the story, a family hired several masons to repair the owner’s house. They were stingy and deducted a lot of wages, which angered the masons.
When the house is built, the family will move in, but every midnight, they will hear a cough in a corner, which is very strange. It sounds like an old man who accidentally choked while smoking and tried not to get out.
Later, the family found a lot of Mr. Yin and Yang, and finally met a gentleman who said that the corner was attacked by a bricklayer. This array was called "Ghost Cough"
Specific exercises are as follows: grab a big toad, put pepper noodles in its mouth, and then sew the toad’s mouth. Toad is choked by pepper noodles and coughs until his mouth is sealed. If he wants to cough, he will cough like an old man.
If the performer has some experience, the toad will live for a long time and will not die, then people in the house will hear this terrible cough every night, and the toad will be very painful and will produce some resentment, which is always very bad for the home.
Thought of here nine uncle suddenly took Zhou Xiaolong a startled Zhou Xiaolong.
Nine uncle asked, "What are you thinking so engrossed? ! ！”
So Zhou Xiaolong simply told the story of ghost cough to his uncle, who obviously heard that he said to Zhou Xiaolong, "The bricklayer’s trick is to scare people, and there will be no real harm. If Zhou Xiaolong encounters that type today, Zhou Xiaolong will burn incense, but who will abandon this trick in the mine?"
Uncle Jiu said it was reasonable. Zhou Xiaolong couldn’t breathe in the atmosphere. One or two people held their breath and listened carefully, but they heard the distant water flowing slowly.
Zhou Xiaolong listened for a while and never came out again. The strange cough comforted himself secretly. Maybe being in this terrible place caused auditory hallucinations.
Zhou Xiaolong and Jiu Shu walked forward more and more. The lower the top of the mine was, the better it was for Jiu Shu to walk. Zhou Xiaolong could walk with his head down for nearly one meter. It was very uncomfortable.
The road ahead became very wet, and then there was water. It was too painful for both feet to walk in muddy black water, so Zhou Xiaolong asked Uncle Jiu, who was leading the way ahead.
Zhou Xiaolong said, "Uncle Jiu, where are we going? Didn’t you say that centipede was used as bait to lure the big toad out of the hole? If you go straight ahead like this, Zhou Xiaolong, the two living people, won’t send a snack to the toad?"
Uncle Jiu stopped and said, "You’re right. We’ll set a bait here and wait for the big toad hook. When the toad is full of centipede, we’ll take advantage of paralysis to eliminate the future trouble at one stroke."
Zhou Xiaolong said, "Good, let’s do it!"
Then Zhou Xiaolong and Jiu Shu were busy.
Nine uncle took Zhou Xiaolong’s arms and held the travel bag with the bottle of centipedes in it. Zhou Xiaolong made a lot of efforts to catch these centipedes, so they finally got enough for a big bottle by looking for locust trees or streams, at least there must be more than 1000 centipedes.
Yesterday, when I was leaving, Uncle Jiu sprinkled a lot of powder on the centipede, and then poured an old wine towel to block the bottle mouth. At this moment, the centipede in the bottle should be half drunk.
So as not to escape all over the floor immediately after pouring out the bottle.
Uncle Jiu lifted the bottle cap and Zhou Xiaolong lit up a bottle of alcohol, which was very unpleasant, and then
Zhou Xiaolong saw a dark, sticky, disgusting meat ball that was poured down by Uncle Jiu in a dry and flat place in the mine.
Those centipedes are really drunk, twisted and rolled together like many earthworms.
Zhou Xiaolong’s eyes are wrong when he wants to vomit. He asks his uncle, "Then what should I do? ! ！”
Uncle Jiu ignored Zhou Xiaolong. He took out something similar to Chinese herbal medicine and sprinkled a lot around the centipede. Then he lit a stick of grass as thick as a cigarette. Then Zhou Xiaolong smelled a bad smell, but it was better than the centipede.
After finishing these, Uncle Jiu pulled Zhou Xiaolong back to an safe place where there was a big protruding stone, and Zhou Xiaolong and the two of them hid behind the stone.
Uncle Jiu said, "Put out the light."
Chapter 5 Toad
Zhou Xiaolong was very nervous when he closed his hand and saw the darkness.
But soon Zhou Xiaolong saw the big centipede. It turned out that all the centipedes had luminous spots, and many of them were wrapped together like a big light bulb with insufficient light.
Zhou Xiaolong asked Uncle Jiu curiously, "Why is Uncle Jiu still lit up? Is it because the centipede shines that it can lure out the big toad at the bottom of the cave?"
Uncle Jiu asked Zhou Xiaolong, "Yes, I wonder if you ever caught a toad when you were a child?"
Zhou Xiaolong said, "When can I catch a toad and talk like this?"
Uncle Jiu shook his head and said, "I don’t even have any childhood memories."
Zhou Xiaolong urged Jiu Shu to "get to the point, Jiu Shu"
Uncle Jiu explained that frogs or toads are the same because frogs’ eyes can’t see static things. Frogs’ eyes are different from ordinary animals’ eyes. They pay special attention to moving objects, but moths and flies react in their eyes. But if a bug moves, the frog will immediately find it and attack it according to its flying direction and speed.
Zhou Xiaolong nodded and said, "Uncle Jiu, those centipedes have been moving and there are phosphorescent toads, which are sure to be found."
Uncle Jiu said, "Yes, I think so, but I also lit a incense, which can attract many kinds of reptiles. It is said that the formula of the incense is snake catcher."
Zhou Xiaolong said happily, "Everything is ready, Uncle Jiu, so let’s wait for that big guy to hook up!" ! ! ! ！”
Many things don’t happen as people think, or many things don’t go according to people’s wishes.
For example, at this moment, Zhou Xiaolong and Jiu Shu carefully designed the latent capture operation, which seems to have ended in failure.
Why do you say that? Because Zhou Xiaolong and Uncle Jiu are hiding behind the big stone, the flowers are dying, but there seems to be no trouble in front of the centipede meat ball.
Maybe when people are in the dark, it will be relatively slow, but Zhou Xiaolong looked at his watch, and Zhou Xiaolong has been waiting for an hour and forty minutes since he arranged the bait. Even Uncle Jiu, who has always been calm, can’t stand waiting, rubbing his hands and getting anxious.
Zhou Xiaolong asked in a low voice, "Uncle Jiu, maybe the big toad is no longer in this mine hole, maybe he has escaped."
Uncle Jiu asked Zhou Xiaolong to light the handle. Zhou Xiaolong did it. Uncle Jiu took out a brass compass and stared at the pointer.
Zhou Xiaolong asked, "How? Is there a reaction? "
Uncle Jiu said, "It’s strange that there must be something bad in this mine, otherwise the pointer wouldn’t behave like this."
Zhou Xiaolong asked again, "Do you think there is a magnet in the ore? Did you mistakenly guide the compass pointer?"
Uncle Jiu interrupted Zhou Xiaolong and said, "A compass is not a compass, but a magnet won’t vibrate and react like that?"
Compass and compass ancestors are both called Sina, but they are still very different
Compass, also known as compass, is mainly used for feng shui detection and is a common tool for the Qi-regulating sect.
The compass is mainly composed of a magnetic needle located in the center of the disk and a series of concentric circles, each of which represents the ancient China people’s understanding of a certain level of information in the universe.
The ancients believed that the popularity field was controlled by the cosmic gas field, and that harmony in the universe was auspicious and disharmony in the universe was fierce.
Therefore, the ancient sages listed all levels of information in the universe, such as the stars, the stars, the five elements representing everything, heavenly stems and earthly branches and other departments, and the numbers and symbols on the disk surface would be dense
Therefore, feng shui master can find the most suitable position or time for a specific person or thing by observing the rotation of the magnetic needle.
Although there is no concept of "magnetic field" in geomantic omen, the direction, orientation and separation of each circle of compass imply the law of "magnetic field"
