Monster 1

The unscrupulous venting in the car gradually stabilized Lu Yunlin's mood. He got out of the car first to relieve the smell of cigarettes from his body, and then knocked on the car window to signal Xie Zhi'an to get out of the car too.

Unknowingly, Xie Zhi'an took out a black mask from there, covering his red and swollen lips, leaving only a pair of red rabbit-like eyes, which looked like he had been bullied.

"The glasses are broken."

Because of wearing a mask, Xie Zhian's voice sounded muffled, with a slight nasal sound.

"Do you want me to compensate you?" Lu Yunli glanced at the remnant body of glasses lying in Xie Zhian's hands, and asked fiercely, "How much?"

"I have a bit of astigmatism."

At this time, a couple near the place where Lu Yunxi and the others parked had just passed by, and they were carefully watching the situation here as they walked, for fear that these two people who were not in a harmonious atmosphere would just fight in place and hurt them.

It wasn't until after the couple left the basement that Lu Yunli stretched out his hand to hold Xie Zhi'an: "If you can't see clearly, follow me."

----------

The elevator on the basement floor can only go up to the fourth floor of the library, and you need to climb the stairs to go up.

Lu Yunli has never let go of Xie Zhi'an ever since. The two boys who are both very handsome and well-dressed walked together so closely, which naturally attracted some people's whispers.

But Lu Yunli didn't care about these things, Xie Zhi'an was thinking at this moment, 'How can I make Lu Yunli less angry. 'Naturally, there is no time to pay attention to the eyes of the outside world.

Because of Professor Chen Youde's order in advance, the librarian on the fifth floor has sorted out the relevant books and put them on the table, which also saves them the time of searching aimlessly.

"You can find two books, I will find the remaining four books."

Knowing that Xie Zhi'an couldn't see things clearly, Lu Yunzhang took the initiative to move the four thicker books to his side, but he was a little dumbfounded when he opened them—complete ancient Chinese versions, awkward Mandarin and various ancient The technical terms are really a headache to read.

But all the books were brought over, and Lu Yunzhang didn't have the nerve to call out, so he just read it bravely.

Lu Yunxi finished flipping through the book in a dizzy way, and looked up at the person opposite—his face was almost stuck to the book.

Because he doesn't have glasses, Xie Zhian reads very slowly. After turning one page, he looks at another page. This slightly clumsy movement looks silly.If he was impatient, he probably couldn't help turning the page or two for him on the spot.

But Lu Yunlu looked at him like this for a long time, and then he turned his eyes back to the book.

——It is true that I will go to the Buddha another day to ask for an exorcism talisman. I am afraid that I am possessed by an evil spirit today, so I think Xie Zhi'an looks good.

Lu Yunxi took less than 30 seconds to seriously reflect on himself, and felt that his anomaly today might be due to the fact that he was always messing with Xie Zhian for various reasons.

Even between two men, an appropriate distance should be kept to prevent being fascinated.

Lu Yunxi thought so.

It was two hours after the two of them had completely read these materials. After comparing the sacrifice methods of various ethnic groups above, none of them matched the situation at the murder scene.

"Is it possible that the murderer left this video at the scene just to mislead us?" Xie Zhian guessed.

"If we can't find relevant information, then we can only think so." Lu Yunli rubbed his temples with a headache: "We don't know any experts in this field, so we can only give up this article if we have no clue. There's a clue."

"Hey, there are still young people here." An old man who appeared behind Lu Yunli at some point smiled and waved to the other side: "Come here quickly, all the books you are looking for are here!"

Lu Yunli turned his head to look at the old man behind him, and couldn't help but exclaim in his heart: what a beautiful person.

Lu Yunzhang remembered that he had heard the saying "beauty is in the bones but not in the skin" before. At that time, he didn't understand what it meant. He thought that this person was old and his face was full of wrinkles. How could there be anything beautiful or not.

But today, he really understood the meaning of this sentence.

The old man in front of him looked to be in his 70s.There are many wrinkles on the face, especially the lines around the eyes, which may be a testament to the saying 'crow's feet are not too shallow for people who love to laugh'.But her eyes are still like a girl's, shining brightly, as if they contain all the light in this world.

She was wearing a light-colored sweater, her long silver-white hair was neatly coiled behind her head, and she stood upright with an undeniable aura.

"Why is the young man staring at me for so long?" The old man smiled and joked at Lu Yunlin: "Do you think I look good at grandma?"

"It should be called Auntie." Lu Yunli smiled politely: "Is Auntie looking for these books?"

"Let me take a look." Seeing that his companion hadn't come yet, the old man turned over two pages first: "I guess so...it looks quite similar, oh baby, can you hurry up, what's the ink stain?"

"On weekdays, when you smear ink, I don't see me urging you so much."

The old man who was called a baby came over without any haste - she looked like a foreigner, because she had a pair of emerald green eyes and short milky white hair unlike the previous old man.

"You dare to urge me?" The old man from before raised his chin arrogantly, and handed the book in his hand to the baby: "Look, is it this one?"

Zhiying shook her head helplessly and dotingly, and quickly flipped through the book in her hand: "No... eh?" When her eyes moved to the remaining books on the table, she murmured in a low voice: "Is there anyone still interested in Ren Qi?"

Hearing the infant's words, Lu Yunli's eyes lit up: "What do you know about 'Seven Days of Humanity'?"

"Yes, she has it." The old man before proudly patted his chest: "She is a walking encyclopedia of folklore, don't worry, she is the best at crooked ways."

"Then do you know what other customs there are on the seventh day?"

"Customs?" Zhiying looked straight at Lu Yunlin, his green eyes seemed to be able to see through everything: "You have to tell me what kind of customs it is, so I can tell you in detail."

Zhiying's gaze made Lu Yunli feel a little uncomfortable, he thought for a while, and recounted the appearance of the crime scene to Zhiying.

"What direction is the corpse's head facing?"

"Towards the north."

"Calling souls and asking ghosts of the Ge Han nationality." Zhiying supported another old man, let her sit down first, and then continued: "Seven is a very mysterious number in metaphysics. You young people are more familiar with it." There is the "first seven", which is said to be the seven days after the death of the human soul; there is also the "seven days of the human being" you are looking for, the day when the legendary Nuwa created human beings. In Buddhism, there is a saying that the seven days come out in circles, which is said to be seven days. When the sun rises, all evil realms will be wiped away."

"Don't understand?"

When Zhiying said this, he paused for a moment, and Lu Yunli said a little bit of his true feelings in a daze.

"She didn't expect you to understand." The old man from before smiled and rolled his eyes, very satisfied with the honest answer of the young man in front of him: "She will understand what is related to you."

"The Gehan people claim to be the true descendants of the Nuwa people. In their eyes, the seventh day of the first lunar month is a very sacred day, and it is also a day when they can have contact with the ancient gods. As for whether they can have contact, we have no way of knowing , but the shaman clan within the Gehan clan used this connection to create a sorcery such as 'calling on souls and asking ghosts'."

"How did you do it?"

"They believe that the seventh day of the first lunar month is the time when the spiritual power of the gods is the most vigorous, and it is also the day when humans and ghosts celebrate together. If on this day, while everyone is in a joyous and chaotic period, kill a 'life', Put the head of his spiritual body with its back facing the tomb of God Nuwa, that is, place it facing north. You can secretly transfer the spiritual body of the ancient person to this person's head, absorb the power of his spiritual body, and obtain a short-term Vitality. At the same time, he can answer what he wants to know through his ears and mouth."

"Can I ask?" Lu Yunli, who has been receiving a materialist education, couldn't help asking, "Why do people really believe this?"

"Whether I can ask, I have no way of knowing. After all, I don't have... no one to summon my soul." Zhiying smiled and shook her head, as if she felt that the young man's question in front of her was too naive: "The existence of everything is reasonable, you What can’t be seen is a treasure in the eyes of others?”

"That's right." Although I don't know if what the old man said is reliable, it's better than finding nothing by searching here for hours.Lu Yunli stood up and bowed to the two old people: "Thank you for your guidance, the younger generation has benefited a lot."

Zhiying turned slightly to avoid Lu Yunlin's etiquette, and said calmly: "I can't be called a senior, but if you really want to investigate this matter, you'd better listen to what the old man said. .”

Lu Yunzhang smiled and said, "Of course I can listen to it."

When going down from the fifth floor, Xie Zhian couldn't control the distance of the stairs, so he could only grab Lu Yunli's arm again.Although Lu Yunlan didn't dodge, Xie Zhi'an still gave a dry cough and tried hard to find a topic: "Do you not trust her too much?"

"The fifth floor checks the identity and cultural background of the people who come in. If she is a nonsense person, I'm afraid she won't be able to come in."

"She said she was called Zhiying." Xie Zhian reminded carefully.

"Well, what happened?"

"Uh..." Seeing that Lu Yunli's appearance does not seem to be fake, Xie Zhi'an introduced him: "I heard that she was invited to appear on stage more than ten years ago, and the price was more than one million each time."

"What do you mean?" Lu Yunli frowned slightly: "I haven't heard of it? Feng Shui?"

"Probably." Xie Zhi'an's tone was a little awkward: "She herself has a lot of research on metaphysics, and she knows a lot about the culture and etiquette of many dynasties that have passed by in a flash and are rarely recorded in history. The Professor Chen Youde we met this morning is her. one of his apprentices."

"So what she said is true." Lu Yunli helped Xie Zhi'an to avoid the crowd and stood in the elevator: "Someone used Li Lingyu's body to call out spirits and ask ghosts, who to call? Who to ask?"
