First-class Celestial Master [Rebirth]
Chapter 144
The first half of Zhou Tong’s sentence has the same meaning as the conclusion given by the Chu family. Wu Minzhi can still understand it, but after the end, he can’t understand what the lifeblood is tied at all. Zhou Tong’s words are in his head. Turning around in a circle, Wu Minzhi asked: "Mr. Zhou, you mean that my elder brother was framed?"
"I'm not sure about this." Zhou Tong said, "But it's true that your elder brother is weird." He looked at Wu Huanzhi again, and the lifeblood in Wu Huanzhi's body disappeared again, and the black and white spots in Yin and Yang's eyes were also hidden in the two fishes. Among them, I can't help but feel a little disgusted with these eyes. What's the matter if they are good and bad?
Wu Huanzhi was still in a coma, but Zhou Tong and the others did not wake Wu Huanzhi up with their soft whispers. Zhou Tong invited Wu Minzhi out of the room and asked him in the corridor, "When did your elder brother get sick?"
"I went to the hospital for an examination about two months ago, but according to my elder brother, he started feeling unwell almost three months ago."
"Where did he go or meet anyone three months ago?"
"Yes." Wu Minzhi recalled it carefully, and said, "I still remember that X University invited my eldest brother to give a guest lecture at the end of the year, but my eldest brother refused on the pretext of having something to do, and left home the next day. I don't know where he went. I’ll be back in December.” Wu Minzhi frowned and calculated the time carefully, and said, “It’s probably December.”
"Is it December... Can you give me your elder brother's ID number?"
"Hey, good." Wu Minzhi reported a series of numbers, and Zhou Tong took a pen to write it down on the paper, then called Zhao Han and said, "Mr. Zhao, I have a private matter to trouble you, can you help?" Let me check where this person went last December?"
Zhao Han over there readily agreed: "It's a trivial matter."
After putting down the phone, Zhou Tong asked without missing any clues: "Do you have any strange behaviors on weekdays?"
"Strange behavior..." Because of the relationship between tutors, Wu Minzhi and his elder brother Wu Huanzhi's relationship is as indifferent as a gentleman's friendship. After graduation, he entered the society and was busy with his own circle. Zhou Tong asked these questions about Wu Huanzhi Wu Minzhi didn't have many answers. After thinking for a while, he said: "I don't think there is anything strange about it, but my elder brother is quite disgusted with going to the hospital after being sick. I persuaded him for a week before he was willing." Go get checked. That's right!" Wu Minzhi suddenly remembered something and said, "Brother seems to have known about his physical condition a long time ago, and he doesn't care about the test results at all."
"Then why do you suspect that there are evil spirits at work, and you want to go to the Chu family? With your scholarly background, you should trust doctors instead of these three-educated theories, right?"
"This..." Wu Minzhi looked a little embarrassed. He looked at Zhou Tong in embarrassment. He was struggling with something. After a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "This matter is my brother's secret, and I only found out by accident. , he didn’t want me to tell others, but this is a special situation right now, I’m going to miss the appointment, I’m sorry big brother.”
He looked around and saw that there was no other person in the corridor except Zhou Tong and Ling Yuan, so he lowered his voice and said to Zhou Tong: "Did you see the novels in the elder brother's room? Many of them were written by him. You may I've heard of his pen name, and his name is Mr. Mustard."
"Mr. Mustard?" Zhou Tong was stunned, "He wrote all the books on the shelf?"
"Yeah." Wu Minzhi nodded, and said, "I don't know when the big brother started this hobby, but this pseudonym was about ten years ago, and since then he has been very keen on metaphysics. At the point of madness, he often forgets to sleep and eat. I knew at that time that he was paying attention to these things. It may be that the enthusiasm at the beginning has faded, but in recent years he has not been so enthusiastic. Could it be that he was bewitched..."
Wu Minzhi gritted his teeth and said, "It would be best if not, but just in case..."
"It's not clear." Zhou Tong said, "There is no trace of the curse on your elder brother, and there is no evil spirit. For a while, there is no basis to judge whether he is possessed by evil spirits. I will observe for two days and see."
"Okay." The current situation can only be like this, Wu Minzhi agreed, he changed the number with Zhou Tong, and said: "Mr. Zhou can come here as long as he is free during this time. I will be waiting for Mr. Zhou at any time."
After leaving Wu Min's home, Zhou Tong sat in the taxi thinking about Wu Huanzhi's situation. He asked the taxi driver, "Is there a bookstore near here, master?"
"Yes, my brother is going to the bookstore?"
"Well, please, master, please drive us to the bookstore first?"
"Okay." At the intersection ahead, the driver turned a corner, the taxi drove into the side road, and finally stopped in front of a large bookstore.
There is a large poster on the window, half of a man in black is hidden in the shadows, and the other half is in the light. A lotus platform on his chest is blooming with faint light, and a golden lotus seed is slowly rising in the lotus platform, as if It's like being held in the hands of a man in black.
The word "Longevity" is written on this promotional poster. It is the horror and supernatural novel "Longevity" that Mr. Mustard has recently released. It is currently on sale, and all major bookstores are placing it on the shelves of best-selling books , can be seen at a glance.
Zhou Tong entered the bookstore, picked up a copy of "Longevity", and took out several masterpieces introduced on the Internet from the shelf next to Mr. Mustard's other works, "Human Crime", "Mud Plow" and "Longevity" It happened to be the best-selling trilogy at present. When I went to the front desk to pay the bill, the phone rang, and Zhao Han said, "I checked Zhou Tong for you. In December last year, this man named Wu Huanzhi's husband went to Y City in Q Province by M Airlines, and I also checked his relevant information for you, please give me an email address, and I will send it to you."
"Okay, sorry to trouble you."
"Where are you talking?"
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Tong compiled his email into a text message and sent it to Zhao Han.
What did Wu Huanzhi go to City Y for... City S is far away from City Y, almost across the entire country.Business?private matter?Wu Huanzhi's whereabouts can be checked in the boarding records, but there is nowhere to check where he went, who he met, who he did and what he did when he arrived in City Y.Zhou Tong put down the clues for the time being, paid for the three novels, and went back to the hotel where he stayed in S City.
After washing up, Zhou Tong lay on the bed and read novels, finishing the 20-word "Sin of Man" in one night.
This horror and suspense story is not all stories imagined in the mind, but a legendary story adapted from some existing materials. It is written with many climaxes and many mysteries. After reading it, I still feel endless aftertaste. If Ling Yuan hadn't read it and forced him to sleep at three o'clock in the morning, Zhou Tong might be able to read all three novels in one night.
The protagonist of this series of stories is a young man from a scholarly family like Wu Huanzhi. Both his parents died and he was brought up by his grandfather. At the beginning of the story, the young man’s grandfather died of illness. The "Ghost Exorcism Handbook" made by my grandfather has since stepped into the door of metaphysics.
Since then, life has changed, and there will always be some strange events around him. After experiencing these events, the young man becomes a Mr. Yin and Yang who can understand ghosts and gods. At the end of "Human Sin" It left a big foreshadowing and hooked people to read the next one. Mr. Mustard wrote so well that Zhou Tong actually found resonance in this book, especially the ending part, which was almost exactly the same as his situation.
Young people have discovered the disadvantages of being Mr. Yin Yang, the "five disadvantages and three deficiencies" that cannot be escaped, widowed, widowed, lonely, alone, disabled, money, life, and lack. But 30 years old.
This is exactly the way of heaven's punishment for human beings who pry into the destiny and even try to change their destiny against the heavens and entrust themselves to greatness, the so-called crime of humanity.
The story that Zhou Tong read stops here for the time being. This "Human Crime" was published when he was in college. The one in hand does not know how many times it has been reprinted. The content has not changed much. The current situation seems to be more touching than when I was in college. The routines and ghost exorcism methods used in it are all things that only orthodox metaphysics can have. The theory about four-pillar fortune-telling and Ziwei star number shows that Wu Huanzhi is solid. Foundation.
After watching "Human Crime", Zhou Tong is at least [-]% sure that Wu Huanzhi has entered the Tao, but for some reason, it is an unsolved mystery that Zhou Tong cannot see Wu Huanzhi's physical condition.
Could it be...Zhou Tong was startled suddenly, looked at Ling Yuan, and whispered, "Ling Yuan, do you think it is possible that all the stories in this book are true and Wu Huanzhi's own experience?"
Ling Yuan didn't know what the book was talking about at all, so of course he couldn't answer Zhou Tong's question. He grabbed the book, flipped through it casually, frowned after reading a few pages, and said, "This kind of old village desolate corpse Don’t stories often come up? This person’s description of corpse ghosts is nothing more than paper. Before Tianxuan destroyed an entire village, he used this ancient recipe when refining corpse ghosts with all the villagers, but the result was the same as It’s completely different from what’s written in the book.”
Zhou Tong glared at Ling Yuan, as if he was a fan of idols. He took the book back, looked at the description about the corpse, and said: "This is a novel after all, and it will definitely add a little artificial literary color, which is different from reality. There must be discrepancies. But... according to what you mean, it should not be Wu Huanzhi's personal experience." Thinking about it carefully, Zhou Tong also felt that his thoughts were a little too unbelievable. Wu Huanzhi is an honorary professor of the local S University. Part-time Song History elective course, I have to take a class every week, rain or shine, this kind of evil thing can't be dealt with in ten days and a half months, so many strange things are described in the book, it is impossible for them all to happen in the City S, that's a bit of a coincidence. If it was in two places, Wu Huanzhi must have no skills at all, and it is impossible to run back and forth between the two places in a short period of time.
Experience is not necessarily true, what about the character archetype?Could this young man who accidentally entered the Tao from the relics of the elders in his family be based on Wu Huanzhi?
Guessing this, Zhou Tong decided to go to Wu Huanzhi's house to check again to see if Wu Huanzhi really entered the Tao.
Zhou Tong called Wu Minzhi and greeted Wu Minzhi first. When he learned that Zhou Tong was coming, Wu Minzhi ran back from the research institute and bumped into Zhou Tong at the door of his house.
Zhou Tong asked, "Is Mr. Wu Huanzhi feeling better today?"
"Brother woke up early in the morning and came down to have breakfast. He may be resting now." Wu Minzhi often called back to inquire about Wu Huanzhi's situation, and knew Wu Huanzhi's routine after his illness like the palm of his hand.
After entering the house, Wu Minzhi asked the servant: "Is my brother awake? Or is he resting?"
"Young master is awake." The servant replied respectfully, seeing that Wu Minzhi asked her to retreat, he went to the kitchen to make tea for the guests.
Wu Minzhi led Zhou Tong directly to the second floor, knocked on Wu Huanzhi's room, and a weak voice came from the door, "Please come in."
Wu Minzhi pushed the door open and entered, the curtains in the room were drawn open, the sunlight came in, and the fine dust particles in the air could be seen at a glance. Wu Huanzhi was sitting in the recliner and soaked in the sun, with a blanket on his lap and a pocket book between his fingers. Zhou Tong glanced at the text on the cover, it was a paperback version of "Book of Changes".
When they came to see Wu Huanzhi yesterday, Wu Huanzhi was in a coma, so he didn't know it. Seeing Wu Minzhi brought two strange young people back this time, Wu Huanzhi looked at Zhou Tong in surprise, and asked: "Who is this?"
"My surname is Zhou and my name is Tong. This is Ling Yuan."
"Under Wu Huanzhi." Wu Huanzhi coughed after finishing speaking, his face was paler by the sun, Wu Minzhi nervously picked up the coat on the bed and put it on Wu Huanzhi, asking: "Brother, how is your health? Don't go to bed and lie down for a while?"
"It's okay." Wu Huanzhi patted the back of Wu Minzhi's hand with a smile, and said, "I've been lying down and my bones are soft, and it's good to go out for activities. It just so happens that the sun is good today, so I got up to bask in the sun and read a book."
Zhou Tong said with a smile: "Yes, spring has just started, the weather is getting warmer every day, and the sun will be getting better and better. Mr. Wu is watching "Book of Changes"? Are you interested in metaphysics?"
"I'm a little bit interested." Wu Huanzhi put the bookmark in the book, closed the book and put it on the shelf beside him, saying, "Chinese culture is extensive and profound, and any branch of it is worthy of in-depth study. Traditional literature is fascinating. , These little side-tracks are also very interesting to delve into."
"Mr. Wu is right." Sitting on the side, Zhou Tong chatted with Wu Huanzhi about Feng Shui, eliminating evil spirits and other things. At the beginning, they were all simple and easy to understand. Wu Minzhi could occasionally interject a few words, Later, the conversation became more and more in-depth, and it was all the essence. Wu Minzhi couldn't understand it, not to mention joining the discussion, but Wu Huanzhi had a good time talking and laughing with Zhou Tong, but he would always rise to the academic level unconsciously. I know that the real content of metaphysics is completely different at the academic level and at the practical level. Scholars sometimes rely on records and work behind closed doors. They certainly don’t know what they have accumulated in the quagmire.
After this discussion, Wu Huanzhi was like an ordinary scholar who had devoted himself to the study of metaphysics. Although he chatted happily, sometimes he had a bit of sudden enlightenment, but in terms of fundamentals, there was still a gap between what Zhou Tong had really come into contact with.
Besides, Wu Huanzhi didn't look like he had entered the Tao, he was just an ordinary person.
Could it be that he was wrong?
However, it is impossible to write a novel as true as "The Crime of Man" based on what you read in the book.
Zhou Tong fell into a thought dilemma for a while, and unconsciously lost his mind. Wu Huanzhi coughed and said, "It's really a pleasure to have Mr. Zhou visit today, but I'm really not in good health, so I won't entertain Mr. Zhou any more. Wait for me..." Wu Huanzhi had a wry smile on his lips, and then it turned into a sincere smile. He looked at Zhou Tong with sincerity, "When I recover, I will definitely pay a visit."
"I am. Mr. Wu is very knowledgeable. Talking with Mr. Wu today is really better than ten years of study. I have disturbed Mr. Wu for long enough, so I will leave first."
As soon as the words fell, Zhou Tong's face changed, and he hurriedly took a step forward. Before he could touch Wu Huanzhi, he was stopped by Ling Yuan. Wu Minzhi looked at Zhou Tong's sudden movement in surprise, and before he could ask, he saw Wu Huanzhi suddenly Arched and curled up into a ball, he fell limply on the recliner, and let out a few suppressed wailings, as if his body was in excruciating pain.
Wu Minzhi was stopped by Ling Yuan when he wanted to go forward, Ling Yuan said: "Don't touch him."
Ling Yuan shook his head at Zhou Tong and said, "It can't be saved."
Zhou Tong clenched his lower lip, "How could this be? What is this?"
"Prison ghosts and change lives." Ling Yuan said.
It took Wu Huanzhi a long time to see him again. He took a few breaths and waved to Zhou Tong and the others: "You all go out, I'm fine. I just had cramps. I'm fine now. I'm fine." He rushed to Wu Minzhi He forced a smile, "It's really all right, Min Zhi quickly entertained the guests."
Wu Minzhi had no choice but to send Zhou Tong and the others away. In the living room on the first floor, Wu Minzhi pulled Zhou Tong's arm regardless of etiquette, and asked anxiously, "Mr. Zhou, did you notice something?"
Zhou Tong shook his head: "I'm not familiar with this thing, but Ling Yuan knows." He looked at Ling Yuan, "Can you explain what is prisoner ghost to change life?"
"The prisoner's ghost is a life-for-life formation. Two people in the formation are buried with prisoner ghosts in their bodies. One of them is the father and the other is the son. The life is transferred to the person who has a son, and the life can be completely transferred to another person by seven or seven 49 palace divisions. However, the transferred life is not equivalent. After thirty, there are still forty to live, and the life transferred to the son is only four years."
"My elder brother..." Wu Minzhi took a step back with an ugly expression on his face, his eyes widened in disbelief.
"Yes." Ling Yuan said affirmatively, "His body is buried with the prisoner's father."
"Is there a way to crack this formation?" Zhou Tong asked.
"No solution." Ling Yuan said with certainty.
Wu Minzhi's footsteps swayed, despair appeared in his eyes, his mind went blank for a moment before he recovered, and asked again without giving up: "Is it really... there is no solution..."
"Yes." Ling Yuan nodded expressionlessly.
"Alas." Zhou Tong sighed and looked at Wu Minzhi sympathetically.
Wu Minzhi's body trembled uncontrollably, and he murmured in a hoarse voice: "Who on earth used such an insidious formation for my elder brother... What kind of enmity does my Wu family have with them? It must be like this!"
Zhou Tong said: "Mr. Wu, please calm down first. Your elder brother seems to know about this matter. It is very likely that the people around him used the formation method. Does your elder brother know anyone who knows magic spells?"
"I know you?" Wu Minzhi cleared his head after hearing the words, and carefully recalled Wu Huanzhi's words and deeds. Every move showed that he knew his situation a long time ago and had no intention of changing it. Could it be that he did it voluntarily? ?But people are born to live, how could someone want to die?Eldest brother has no lover or heir, and his parents are still alive, for whom will elder brother give up his life?
There is no such person!
Wu Minzhi racked his brains and couldn't think of such a person.
He looked at Zhou Tong with a sad face, confused, his mind was a mess, and he didn't know where to organize his thoughts.Zhou Tong patted Wu Minzhi on the shoulder, and comforted him: "This incident has hit you hard, so don't think about it, Mr. Wu Huanzhi may not want you to know about it, but he is Smart man, he has seen our situation today. Maybe he knows that we have guessed his situation. If you have time, talk to him and see what is going on. If you have anything to do, please contact me again. I spend all the time in City S."
The matter has come to this point, there is really nothing Zhou Tong can do to help, although Ling Yuan did not say it clearly, but Zhou Tong can also guess that both sides of the prisoner ghost change life father and son formation should be willing, as the so-called stand-in to take the blame, one life This is the reason for changing a life.
Since Wu Huanzhi was willing, it was not up to him, an outsider, to talk too much.
Wu Minzhi was still in chaos and couldn't accept this fact at all. No one could accept the fact that a good relative became short-lived, but Zhou Tong couldn't help him, so he could at most comfort him. No amount of relief is as good as "thinking about it".
After leaving, Zhou Tong took a taxi back and continued to read the remaining two novels.
A "Mud Plow" and a "Longevity" were both written as a continuation of the first "Human Crime". In "Mud Plow", the young man was exposed to more cruel and dark things, and even almost died.
"Mud Plow" means hell in Sanskrit, and it is the most painful place in the world without joy. It is deeply related to the environment in which young people live in the second part. I went to hell and wandered around. After being reborn, I deeply felt that the world was perfect, and I didn’t want to suffer from the fate, and I didn’t want to accept my fate of five disadvantages and three deficiencies. Compared with the kindness and positivity shown in the first part, he completely changed a person, his life became corrupt and depraved, and he was buried in the ice and snow by the ghosts he had offended.
"He lay in despair in the icy snow, letting the snow cover his cheeks, looking at a dark night sky above his head, with no moon or stars."
"He felt that his hands and feet were frozen, and the hot blood in his veins gradually lost its temperature. He no longer felt anything, and even his heartbeat became almost inaudible."
"He thought, he might be dying sooner or later, the death that will come sooner or later will come to him."
"The mud plow is in sight."
The second part came to an abrupt end. When Zhou Tong saw the end, he said that he was not shocked. Wu Huanzhi’s novel was written very well. Zhou Tong’s situation was special and very immersive. After watching “Mud Plow”, he couldn’t wait to pick it up. I read "Longevity", and was about to open it, but saw a sentence written on the title page.
People are like duckweed, wandering, but heart is like a rock, indestructible—Mr. Mustard Grass.
A few bronzing handicraft characters were printed on the title page, and there was a string of small characters clearly written below - for my dear child.
"I'm not sure about this." Zhou Tong said, "But it's true that your elder brother is weird." He looked at Wu Huanzhi again, and the lifeblood in Wu Huanzhi's body disappeared again, and the black and white spots in Yin and Yang's eyes were also hidden in the two fishes. Among them, I can't help but feel a little disgusted with these eyes. What's the matter if they are good and bad?
Wu Huanzhi was still in a coma, but Zhou Tong and the others did not wake Wu Huanzhi up with their soft whispers. Zhou Tong invited Wu Minzhi out of the room and asked him in the corridor, "When did your elder brother get sick?"
"I went to the hospital for an examination about two months ago, but according to my elder brother, he started feeling unwell almost three months ago."
"Where did he go or meet anyone three months ago?"
"Yes." Wu Minzhi recalled it carefully, and said, "I still remember that X University invited my eldest brother to give a guest lecture at the end of the year, but my eldest brother refused on the pretext of having something to do, and left home the next day. I don't know where he went. I’ll be back in December.” Wu Minzhi frowned and calculated the time carefully, and said, “It’s probably December.”
"Is it December... Can you give me your elder brother's ID number?"
"Hey, good." Wu Minzhi reported a series of numbers, and Zhou Tong took a pen to write it down on the paper, then called Zhao Han and said, "Mr. Zhao, I have a private matter to trouble you, can you help?" Let me check where this person went last December?"
Zhao Han over there readily agreed: "It's a trivial matter."
After putting down the phone, Zhou Tong asked without missing any clues: "Do you have any strange behaviors on weekdays?"
"Strange behavior..." Because of the relationship between tutors, Wu Minzhi and his elder brother Wu Huanzhi's relationship is as indifferent as a gentleman's friendship.

After thinking for a while, he said: "I don't think there is anything strange about it, but my elder brother is quite disgusted with going to the hospital after being sick. I persuaded him for a week before he was willing." Go get checked. That's right!" Wu Minzhi suddenly remembered something and said, "Brother seems to have known about his physical condition a long time ago, and he doesn't care about the test results at all."
"Then why do you suspect that there are evil spirits at work, and you want to go to the Chu family? With your scholarly background, you should trust doctors instead of these three-educated theories, right?"

Many of them were written by him. You may I've heard of his pen name, and his name is Mr. Mustard."
"Mr. Mustard?" Zhou Tong was stunned, "He wrote all the books on the shelf?"
"Yeah." Wu Minzhi nodded, and said, "I don't know when the big brother started this hobby, but this pseudonym was about ten years ago, and since then he has been very keen on metaphysics. At the point of madness, he often forgets to sleep and eat. I knew at that time that he was paying attention to these things.

What did Wu Huanzhi go to City Y for... City S is far away from City Y, almost across the entire country.Business?private matter?Wu Huanzhi's whereabouts can be checked in the boarding records, but there is nowhere to check where he went, who he met, who he did and what he did when he arrived in City Y.Zhou Tong put down the clues for the time being, paid for the three novels, and went back to the hotel where he stayed in S City.

Guessing this, Zhou Tong decided to go to Wu Huanzhi's house to check again to see if Wu Huanzhi really entered the Tao.
Zhou Tong called Wu Minzhi and greeted Wu Minzhi first. When he learned that Zhou Tong was coming, Wu Minzhi ran back from the research institute and bumped into Zhou Tong at the door of his house.
Zhou Tong asked, "Is Mr. Wu Huanzhi feeling better today?"
"Brother woke up early in the morning and came down to have breakfast. He may be resting now." Wu Minzhi often called back to inquire about Wu Huanzhi's situation, and knew Wu Huanzhi's routine after his illness like the palm of his hand.
After entering the house, Wu Minzhi asked the servant: "Is my brother awake? Or is he resting?"
"Young master is awake." The servant replied respectfully, seeing that Wu Minzhi asked her to retreat, he went to the kitchen to make tea for the guests.
Wu Minzhi led Zhou Tong directly to the second floor, knocked on Wu Huanzhi's room, and a weak voice came from the door, "Please come in."
Wu Minzhi pushed the door open and entered, the curtains in the room were drawn open, the sunlight came in, and the fine dust particles in the air could be seen at a glance. Wu Huanzhi was sitting in the recliner and soaked in the sun, with a blanket on his lap and a pocket book between his fingers. Zhou Tong glanced at the text on the cover, it was a paperback version of "Book of Changes".
When they came to see Wu Huanzhi yesterday, Wu Huanzhi was in a coma, so he didn't know it. Seeing Wu Minzhi brought two strange young people back this time, Wu Huanzhi looked at Zhou Tong in surprise, and asked: "Who is this?"
"My surname is Zhou and my name is Tong. This is Ling Yuan."
"Under Wu Huanzhi." Wu Huanzhi coughed after finishing speaking, his face was paler by the sun, Wu Minzhi nervously picked up the coat on the bed and put it on Wu Huanzhi, asking: "Brother, how is your health? Don't go to bed and lie down for a while?"
"It's okay." Wu Huanzhi patted the back of Wu Minzhi's hand with a smile, and said, "I've been lying down and my bones are soft, and it's good to go out for activities. It just so happens that the sun is good today, so I got up to bask in the sun and read a book."
Zhou Tong said with a smile: "Yes, spring has just started, the weather is getting warmer every day, and the sun will be getting better and better. Mr. Wu is watching "Book of Changes"? Are you interested in metaphysics?"
"I'm a little bit interested." Wu Huanzhi put the bookmark in the book, closed the book and put it on the shelf beside him, saying, "Chinese culture is extensive and profound, and any branch of it is worthy of in-depth study. Traditional literature is fascinating. , These little side-tracks are also very interesting to delve into."
"Mr. Wu is right." Sitting on the side, Zhou Tong chatted with Wu Huanzhi about Feng Shui, eliminating evil spirits and other things. At the beginning, they were all simple and easy to understand. Wu Minzhi could occasionally interject a few words, Later, the conversation became more and more in-depth, and it was all the essence. Wu Minzhi couldn't understand it, not to mention joining the discussion, but Wu Huanzhi had a good time talking and laughing with Zhou Tong, but he would always rise to the academic level unconsciously. I know that the real content of metaphysics is completely different at the academic level and at the practical level. Scholars sometimes rely on records and work behind closed doors. They certainly don’t know what they have accumulated in the quagmire.
After this discussion, Wu Huanzhi was like an ordinary scholar who had devoted himself to the study of metaphysics. Although he chatted happily, sometimes he had a bit of sudden enlightenment, but in terms of fundamentals, there was still a gap between what Zhou Tong had really come into contact with.
Besides, Wu Huanzhi didn't look like he had entered the Tao, he was just an ordinary person.
Could it be that he was wrong?
However, it is impossible to write a novel as true as "The Crime of Man" based on what you read in the book.
Zhou Tong fell into a thought dilemma for a while, and unconsciously lost his mind. Wu Huanzhi coughed and said, "It's really a pleasure to have Mr. Zhou visit today, but I'm really not in good health, so I won't entertain Mr. Zhou any more. Wait for me..." Wu Huanzhi had a wry smile on his lips, and then it turned into a sincere smile. He looked at Zhou Tong with sincerity, "When I recover, I will definitely pay a visit."
"I am. Mr. Wu is very knowledgeable. Talking with Mr. Wu today is really better than ten years of study. I have disturbed Mr. Wu for long enough, so I will leave first."
As soon as the words fell, Zhou Tong's face changed, and he hurriedly took a step forward. Before he could touch Wu Huanzhi, he was stopped by Ling Yuan. Wu Minzhi looked at Zhou Tong's sudden movement in surprise, and before he could ask, he saw Wu Huanzhi suddenly Arched and curled up into a ball, he fell limply on the recliner, and let out a few suppressed wailings, as if his body was in excruciating pain.
Wu Minzhi was stopped by Ling Yuan when he wanted to go forward, Ling Yuan said: "Don't touch him."
Ling Yuan shook his head at Zhou Tong and said, "It can't be saved."
Zhou Tong clenched his lower lip, "How could this be? What is this?"
"Prison ghosts and change lives." Ling Yuan said.
It took Wu Huanzhi a long time to see him again. He took a few breaths and waved to Zhou Tong and the others: "You all go out, I'm fine. I just had cramps. I'm fine now. I'm fine." He rushed to Wu Minzhi He forced a smile, "It's really all right, Min Zhi quickly entertained the guests."
Wu Minzhi had no choice but to send Zhou Tong and the others away. In the living room on the first floor, Wu Minzhi pulled Zhou Tong's arm regardless of etiquette, and asked anxiously, "Mr. Zhou, did you notice something?"
Zhou Tong shook his head: "I'm not familiar with this thing, but Ling Yuan knows." He looked at Ling Yuan, "Can you explain what is prisoner ghost to change life?"
"The prisoner's ghost is a life-for-life formation. Two people in the formation are buried with prisoner ghosts in their bodies. One of them is the father and the other is the son. The life is transferred to the person who has a son, and the life can be completely transferred to another person by seven or seven 49 palace divisions. However, the transferred life is not equivalent. After thirty, there are still forty to live, and the life transferred to the son is only four years."
"My elder brother..." Wu Minzhi took a step back with an ugly expression on his face, his eyes widened in disbelief.
"Yes." Ling Yuan said affirmatively, "His body is buried with the prisoner's father."
"Is there a way to crack this formation?" Zhou Tong asked.
"No solution." Ling Yuan said with certainty.
Wu Minzhi's footsteps swayed, despair appeared in his eyes, his mind went blank for a moment before he recovered, and asked again without giving up: "Is it really... there is no solution..."
"Yes." Ling Yuan nodded expressionlessly.
"Alas." Zhou Tong sighed and looked at Wu Minzhi sympathetically.
Wu Minzhi's body trembled uncontrollably, and he murmured in a hoarse voice: "Who on earth used such an insidious formation for my elder brother... What kind of enmity does my Wu family have with them? It must be like this!"
Zhou Tong said: "Mr. Wu, please calm down first. Your elder brother seems to know about this matter. It is very likely that the people around him used the formation method. Does your elder brother know anyone who knows magic spells?"
"I know you?" Wu Minzhi cleared his head after hearing the words, and carefully recalled Wu Huanzhi's words and deeds. Every move showed that he knew his situation a long time ago and had no intention of changing it. Could it be that he did it voluntarily? ?But people are born to live, how could someone want to die?Eldest brother has no lover or heir, and his parents are still alive, for whom will elder brother give up his life?
There is no such person!
Wu Minzhi racked his brains and couldn't think of such a person.
He looked at Zhou Tong with a sad face, confused, his mind was a mess, and he didn't know where to organize his thoughts.Zhou Tong patted Wu Minzhi on the shoulder, and comforted him: "This incident has hit you hard, so don't think about it, Mr. Wu Huanzhi may not want you to know about it, but he is Smart man, he has seen our situation today. Maybe he knows that we have guessed his situation. If you have time, talk to him and see what is going on. If you have anything to do, please contact me again. I spend all the time in City S."
The matter has come to this point, there is really nothing Zhou Tong can do to help, although Ling Yuan did not say it clearly, but Zhou Tong can also guess that both sides of the prisoner ghost change life father and son formation should be willing, as the so-called stand-in to take the blame, one life This is the reason for changing a life.
Since Wu Huanzhi was willing, it was not up to him, an outsider, to talk too much.
Wu Minzhi was still in chaos and couldn't accept this fact at all. No one could accept the fact that a good relative became short-lived, but Zhou Tong couldn't help him, so he could at most comfort him. No amount of relief is as good as "thinking about it".
After leaving, Zhou Tong took a taxi back and continued to read the remaining two novels.
A "Mud Plow" and a "Longevity" were both written as a continuation of the first "Human Crime". In "Mud Plow", the young man was exposed to more cruel and dark things, and even almost died.
"Mud Plow" means hell in Sanskrit, and it is the most painful place in the world without joy. It is deeply related to the environment in which young people live in the second part. I went to hell and wandered around. After being reborn, I deeply felt that the world was perfect, and I didn’t want to suffer from the fate, and I didn’t want to accept my fate of five disadvantages and three deficiencies. Compared with the kindness and positivity shown in the first part, he completely changed a person, his life became corrupt and depraved, and he was buried in the ice and snow by the ghosts he had offended.
"He lay in despair in the icy snow, letting the snow cover his cheeks, looking at a dark night sky above his head, with no moon or stars."
"He felt that his hands and feet were frozen, and the hot blood in his veins gradually lost its temperature. He no longer felt anything, and even his heartbeat became almost inaudible."
"He thought, he might be dying sooner or later, the death that will come sooner or later will come to him."
"The mud plow is in sight."
The second part came to an abrupt end. When Zhou Tong saw the end, he said that he was not shocked. Wu Huanzhi’s novel was written very well. Zhou Tong’s situation was special and very immersive. After watching “Mud Plow”, he couldn’t wait to pick it up. I read "Longevity", and was about to open it, but saw a sentence written on the title page.
People are like duckweed, wandering, but heart is like a rock, indestructible—Mr. Mustard Grass.
A few bronzing handicraft characters were printed on the title page, and there was a string of small characters clearly written below - for my dear child.
