Bu Tian Gang

Xu Wan also saw the woman's strange walking posture, but for her, one more thing is worse than one less thing. She even pressed Tongtong's head to prevent her from looking back, and reminded Dongzhi in a low voice: "You lock the door when you sleep at night. good."

Winter Solstice nodded: "Sister Xu, you too, it's not easy to take Tongtong out with you, so just knock on my door if you have anything urgent."

Xu Wan smiled gently: "Thank you."

Back in the room, Dong Zhi didn't pay too much attention to that woman. He had encountered enough strange things along the way, and he didn't care about one more.

He took out the yellow paper and cinnabar brushes he bought on the way back, mixed the cinnabar with mineral water, and began to learn how to draw Mingguang talismans with great interest.

According to He Yu, when mixing cinnabar, it is better to use mineral water than tap water, because mineral water contains more minerals and is closer to nature.

Painting talismans is actually a method of communicating with heaven and earth using talismans as a medium.Paper is made of wood, which itself belongs to wood, but the color of yellow paper represents earth. Earth is in the middle of the five elements, and it captures the righteousness of heaven and earth, while cinnabar itself belongs to fire, and the cinnabar mixed with water also contains water attributes. , which is almost a collection of the attributes of the five elements.

According to He Yu, some people will deliberately add gold powder to the cinnabar, so that the five elements are complete, intertwined and flowing, endless, and achieve the effect of truly subduing demons.But when he said this, he had a hippie smile on his face, and Dong Zhi thought that he was more likely to be fooling around.

In fact, Winter Solstice did not have much expectation for the effectiveness of runes. He was mainly interested in drawing talismans. Out of his profession and hobbies, he purely equated drawing talismans with "complete a painting", and also believed that the ancient Chinese talisman culture It can be passed down for so many years, it must have its charm.

The ancient ancestors connected painting with subduing demons and put them into practice. He Yu opened a door to this mysterious world for him.

The enthusiastic Winter Solstice couldn't stop. He drew hundreds of pictures in one breath, and picked out the two most satisfying ones, folded them into triangles according to He Yujiao's method, and put them in his pocket.

Looking at the time again, two hours had passed. He was sweating profusely and hungry, as if he had finished a [-]-meter marathon.

He thought to himself that luckily he came back with supper, cleaned up the table, played with his mobile phone to finish the salt and pepper duck tongue, and was about to take a bath when he heard a knock on the door.

Dong Zhi saw Xu Wan through the cat's eyes.

Xu Wan held Tongtong by the hand, with a look of embarrassment.

"Xiaodong, you haven't slept yet, have you? I want to go downstairs to buy some food, can I leave Tongtong with you first? I'll be back in a few minutes, and I'm not sure about leaving her alone in the room."

She spoke softly, even if she refused, it would be fine, but Dong Zhi readily agreed to this kind of effort: "Okay, just let Tong Tong sit here for a while!"

The two exchanged a few pleasantries, Xu Wan was about to go out when there was a sudden sound of broken glass outside, and after a while, there was another muffled sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.

It was already past ten o'clock at night and almost eleven o'clock at night. The hotel is located behind the commercial street in the city center, and you can faintly hear the bustling movement from the commercial street, but it's not particularly noisy. If guests living on high floors close their windows Off, it will be quieter.

But Winter Solstice did not close the windows, so after the muffled sound, they heard screams from downstairs.

The shrill cry pierced through the night and spread to the room on the ninth floor, making Dong Zhi feel a little thumping in his heart.

He and Xu Wan glanced at each other, and they walked to the window to look down at the same time, and saw that there seemed to be a person lying on the ground, and dark liquid slowly snaked out from under his head.

A lot of onlookers had gathered downstairs, but most of them dared not approach. Maybe someone called the police. When they were in a daze during the winter solstice, the siren had already sounded from the commercial street.

Xu Wan suddenly covered her mouth in panic, and stammered: "That man is good, he seems to have jumped from the next room..."

Dong Zhi also found out, not only that, looking down from here, he also felt that the person looked familiar.

In order to prove his guess, he sent Xu Wan's mother and daughter back to the room, and then went downstairs to the hotel lobby.

The news of someone jumping off the building quickly spread, and there were many people standing at the entrance of the hotel, most of them were hotel guests, as well as hotel security and the lobby manager. Everyone looked panicked and talked a lot, and some went to the front desk to ask for check-out Well, the two little girls at the front desk couldn't be bothered at all, and they were all overwhelmed for a while, and the scene was a mess.

Dong Zhi stood behind the crowd, but he still recognized the woman he just passed by in the corridor by the clothes on her body!

Jumping down from the ninth floor, one of the conspicuous red high-heeled shoes was still on the opponent's foot, and the other was scattered not far away. The blood had not yet dried up, and slowly fainted from under the dead man. Dong Zhi hurriedly took a step back. Leaving his eyes away from this uncomfortable scene, he involuntarily touched the bright light talisman in his pocket.

I don't know if it is a psychological effect, but the winter solstice feels that my emotions have gradually stabilized, and I am not so scared anymore.

The police arrived quickly and began to cordon off the hotel staff. They asked the hotel staff that they did not stay to watch the excitement during the winter solstice, but hurried upstairs and returned to their room.

At this time, it would be too troublesome to change hotels, but he planned to leave early tomorrow morning.

As soon as he lay down, the police came knocking on the door.

They had obviously learned that the deceased lived in the room next to Winter Solstice, and they came up to ask about the situation. Winter Solstice told everything about the situation, even the strange behavior of the other party when they met in the corridor. It didn't matter, and it was probably a suicide. The police actually came up to make routine inquiries, registered his phone number and ID number, and sealed the room where the accident occurred pending investigation.

Not long after, Dong Zhi faintly heard a knock on the door of the next room, probably Xu Wan's mother and daughter were also interrogated.

He rolled on the bed for a long time before falling asleep. Before going to bed, he turned on the light in the bathroom. He didn't know if it was a psychological effect. When he was sleeping in a daze in the middle of the night, he could always hear the sound of water flowing from the bathroom when the faucet was turned on. I also felt that someone was standing beside the bed, but every time the other person wanted to get closer, they seemed to be separated invisible, and in the end he could only stand there not far away and stare at Dongzhi, his eyes became more and more resentful.

The winter solstice felt something, but my body was too tired, my eyelids could not be opened at all, and I even forgot when I finally lost consciousness and fell asleep completely.

The first thing he did when he woke up the next day was to reach into his pocket for the amulet, only to find that the bright light talisman had changed from its brand new appearance yesterday to completely scorched black.

The winter solstice was quite frightened, and the only explanation was that maybe something really wanted to approach him last night, and the rune had an effect, but it was "sacrificed" because of it.

Fortunately, there was only one left yesterday, so he didn't bother to bother anymore, he just found it out of his backpack, packed his luggage briefly, and went downstairs to check out.

When he went out, he deliberately turned his head to look at the room where the accident happened. The door was tightly closed and there was a seal on the outside.

Winter Solstice wanted to knock on the door and ask them if they encountered any strange things last night, but after thinking about it, asking would only add to their troubles. If Xu Wan felt something was wrong, she would naturally check out and change hotels.

After what happened last night, the hotel has already gained experience today. For guests who want to check out, they will handle it without saying a word. The security guards in the hotel lobby have also increased from two to four. Standing at the door is like an enemy watching For reporters who want to take pictures and interview.

After leaving the hotel, Dongzhi went straight to the train station. After what happened when he came, he was still a little bit resistant to taking the train, but the journey was safe and smooth, and nothing happened.

In the evening of that day, he arrived at Baihe Station, also known as Erdaobaihe.

Winter Solstice randomly found a hotel next to the station to rest for a night. After leaving the hotel, all kinds of weird things seemed to go away, which finally made people breathe a sigh of relief.

Early the next morning, Dongzhi found a group that was about to go to Changbai Mountain, paid the fare, and took a ride.

He found a vacant seat at the back and sat down. The girl next to him took the initiative to greet him. She had to withdraw due to emergency, and she had already paid the money, so she had to come alone. Fortunately, the team members were all young people, and the team leader was also very caring.

It was only then that the winter solstice found out that, except for himself, everyone in the car was a member of a tour group, and they were going on an outdoor trip to Changbai Mountain.
