Chapter 209
When the outsider left, Zhou Lao's face also relaxed.He asked Zhou Shui: "Do you understand? This is to send you to the police. Be more careful in the future. This person has sorcery, by the way, what's the matter with the money in your wallet? Is it a blindfold, or a small transfer?"

At this time, Zhou Shui took out a piece of "money" from the pile of coins.He asked for ten more real coins from Yan Yan, inserted the Ming paper into the middle of the real coins, and said to Mr. Zhou: "I'll go to the bank to deposit it, and the machine cannot be blocked by the trick of the blind eye. The Ming coins are selected as small transfers, and they are deposited in." blindfold."

Yan Yan took the money over: "Okay, I'll go. Your temper has grown. First you fell down Ji Lao Liu, and then you got into a fight with the police. Don't go to the bank to fight with the security guards. It's really dark." Bi, if people say a few words about you, you will definitely not be able to bear it."

Zhou Shui was also a little embarrassed, and muttered in a low voice: "Who told Ji Lao Liu to say that Dad is here. If you say I can do it, you can't say Dad."

Yan Jing went out for an hour, and the man came back and said, "The machine has been passed, and it has been passed twice. It can be selected when it can be counted."

Zhou Shui and Mr. Zhou looked at each other, almost saying in unison: "It's still a blindfold."

At this time, Zhou Shui became a little nervous, and said: "Damn, money can block you? You underestimated him, seriously underestimated. By the way, put these ghost coins in the trash basket or take them to dirty places like toilets, and you will be able to Xie Sha, the money can be changed back."

Zhou Shui thought of another question, and he asked Mr. Zhou: "Xiao Jin's money is not blocked, it was all real money when the police checked it just now. But the money that was exchanged for Ji Lao Liu for the second time is also Xiao Jin's." , how to explain this?"

Mr. Zhou sighed softly: "This is a selective spell, and it is impossible to block everyone. The blind method is mainly controlled by the mind, and the method is a subtle sneak attack - cast the spell when you are not prepared or inadvertently, so that you can Unknowingly, I got the idea. The target of this spell is clear, mainly banknotes related to you. If we want to block us or the money in our hands, the caster must have extremely strong and capable Brain wave energy that lasts for a long time. Money that has passed through the hands of thousands of people can also block it. It goes without saying that this caster has extremely high mana. But he also has weaknesses-me, rigor, and jade, our money is no obstacle Stay. This means that the caster should be older, unable to perform multi-target spells, and unable to continuously send brain waves for a long time. This has something to do with the weak brain power of age."

Before Elder Zhou finished speaking, Ruyu rushed to ask, "Uncle, how old do you think the other party is?"

This is also a question that Zhou Shui is eager to know.

Mr. Zhou shook his head: "I'm just analyzing it too. This blindfold is a kind of deception. The masters of classical tricks are more or less familiar with it. They are called illusion in their industry. There is also this kind of thing in the West, called hypnotism. But The specific techniques are very different. Western hypnosis requires the performer and the subject to face each other. If the technique is performed outside the line of sight, it is necessary to "seed" in advance, that is, to be exposed to hypnosis before this. Then you can Different environments, but within a limited time, props or advance instructions must be used to make the subject hallucinate."

At this time, Lao Mo poured a glass of water for Zhou Lao.Mr. Zhou took a sip to moisten his throat, and said: "This kind of blindness is not found in Taoism or Buddhism. It's not that you can't cultivate, but you are ashamed to practice. The changes in the form shown by Buddhism and Taoism are not blindness, but shameful. After breaking the "emptiness", it can temporarily reorganize the four major elements of earth, water, fire, and wind. It is a genuine supernatural power. I can only guess the exact age of the specific performer. It is estimated to be 50 Between the ages of 70 and younger, it is impossible to have such a deep skill. Even older, it is impossible to transmit brain waves continuously for such a long time."

50 to 70 years old.Among Zhou Shui's "acquaintances" in this age group, there are only two people who can catch up with each other.Master Li, and the ghost breeder with the hooked nose.The two of them, Zhou Shui, have nothing to worry about. Both of them have competed with Zhou Shui in "brain power".The ghost raiser had also indirectly confronted Zhou Shui in Xiaoliang's hometown, and the intermediary was the blood boy.If it hadn't been for the catastrophe who threw himself on Zhou Shui at that time, Zhou Shui would have made the ghost raiser "disappointed and insane" long ago.But if it wasn't them two, who else would it be?

If you can't figure it out, think about it from another angle.Zhou Shui, a local practitioner of different arts, has never come into contact with it, let alone offended anyone.But is there such a possibility that Zhou Shui just arrived and didn't pay homage to the pier, so he was picking a gift?
Old Motou is a psychic, and Miss Zhou has yin and yang eyes, so she should be regarded as a "warlock" in the local area.Not to mention the size of the ability, good or bad are considered "people in the circle".Zhou Shui and his party have lingered in these two people's land, especially the old Motou's tenant.Even if someone is picking a gift and wants to attack Zhou Shui, he must inquire about the situation with these two people in advance.In that case, just being the grandson of the local land lord is an excellent card to avoid the battle.

In this case, it shouldn't be the work of Tai Yuan, a local supernatural person.Then there are only the enemies that Qin Yang followed.Then this matter has to be implemented on Master Li or the ghost raiser.Although Master Li's mind-bending technique is different from that of blinding eyes, there is no essential difference between the two. They are different leaves on the same root.If the mind control technique is broken, even if there is still a blindfold, there is not much skill left.Master Li can basically rule it out, then only the ghost breeder is left.

If the ghost raiser is targeted at this time, there is still less evidence.Zhou Shui made some calculations. If he wanted to find out about this matter, he still had to wait until the other party made another move.I dare not say that I will be able to catch the opponent's tell next time, but there is always a chance.Except for waiting, Zhou Shuizhen has nothing to do with it.This made Zhou Shui very depressed. Waiting for others to strike first, we will counterattack. It is unpleasant to think about it-the initiative is in the hands of the opponent, and he can do it whenever he wants. First, observe you in the dark, your side If you relax a little bit, you will suffer a moderate loss.

At this time, Old Motou suddenly said: "Why don't we ask a helper to see if we can solve it?"

Mr. Zhou shook his head. He knew in his heart who this old Motou was pointing at. It was either his father, the Lord of the Land, or a priesthood related to the Lord of the Land.All Shinto abilities are bestowed by God, so it goes without saying whether it is taboo or not.The old man should not take care of his own affairs, so don't make trouble for him.

After a while, Mr. Zhou suddenly said something, talking to himself: "Why don't you try?"Ruyu asked curiously: "Old man, what are you trying?"

Mr. Zhou was still deep in his thoughts, as if answering Ruyu and talking to himself: "I still remember the steps. I have seen the things in the book, but I am not sure if they will work or not... Tonight, let's do it tonight." a game."

Ruyu became even more curious: "Game? The game is good, let me reveal it. What game?"

Elder Zhou didn't say anything, his eyes were on Zhou Shui.Zhou Shui was confused at first, and after a while, he suddenly realized: "Dad, are you talking about "Xiaoyaoyou"?"

Elder Zhou nodded.

Getaway is a Taoist practice.In the early days, there were often wars. After a battle, thousands of people lay dead in the wilderness. The family members traveled thousands of miles to collect the corpses. The corpses had long since decayed and were unrecognizable.Taoism invented this escape—as long as you have the relics of the deceased in your hand, and then do a ritual ritual of the escape, you can find the body or soul of the deceased.Also, the wanderers who left their hometowns died outside, and Shangaolu was far from having the conditions to collect the corpses, so they had to bury them in a tomb at home.If you do this ritual ceremony of wandering, you can also attract the souls and let the dead return to their hometowns and be buried in the soil.

Zhou always understood the details of the religious rituals of the getaway, just understood, but he never did it once.The reason why Mr. Zhou was able to think of Xiaoyaoyou was because he was reminded of the Yinbang last time.Looking at the Yinbang also only understands the procedure, without the slightest experience.But after a try, there was no difficulty at all, and it was done easily, and Mr. Zhou began to feel confident.

Zhou Shui also knew that there was a Taoism called "Xiaoyaoyou", and he remembered it clearly in the ancient books handed down by his family.But Zhou Shui didn't study it carefully. This is a major flaw in Zhou Shui's character—he generally doesn't delve into knowledge that he doesn't understand theoretically.The free and unfettered tour belongs to the category of Zhou Shui's "not delving into it".

However, there is still a problem now, the escape is for "visiting" the dead.And the other party is obviously a living person—ghosts don't need to be blindfolded to do things.It stands to reason that it shouldn't work on living people, but since Mr. Zhou proposed it, he must have his own ideas.

Mr. Zhou said: "This getaway is a method for the dead. We have to change the method to use it on the living."

This is where Mr. Zhou is better than Zhou Shui, and he can learn and apply everything.The reason why Zhou's family's education level is higher than that of his son is probably one of the reasons.

Zhou Shui still didn't understand, "The deceased was negative, and Xiaoyaoyou also took advantage of this. But the living person is positive, and if this nature changes, the theoretical basis will also change, okay?"

Elder Zhou said: "The deceased is yin, and the method of using utensils in the yang world is used to get the meaning of yin and yang. He also said: "There is God's will in the dark. You see, isn't these ghost money just a yin thing? It's also a hundred secrets, and he didn't expect to leave this clue for us."

Zhou Shui glanced at Mr. Zhou and said nothing.However, looking at the expression, it seems very disapproving.

After dinner, Mr. Zhou began to perform the ceremony.First, I took a handful of soil from the yard, added clear water, and made mud. I made a conical mound with the mud, and cut a spirit flag with white paper, propped it up with a small bamboo stick, and stuck it in the grave. on the mound.Then he took one out of Zhou Shui's stack of coins, rolled a paper tube, and stuffed it under the mound.A grave cap is made on the top of the mound, which is in the shape of an inverted cone.On the whole, it is a miniature tomb.

Since Zhou Shui didn't take it seriously, he wanted to laugh while watching.Mr. Zhou is quite serious and meticulous in his work.Outsiders look at it, at first glance it looks like an old child playing house.Rigorous and Ruyu seemed to feel the same way, and both suppressed their laughter.Ruyu leaned over the table and watched, while commanding: "Uncle, do you want to erect a monument? Or, put another little white flower?"

After finishing it, Mr. Zhou couldn't help laughing while looking at it: "You can say that this person is old and has a childlike innocence. That... looks like it?"

The rigor couldn't bear it any longer, he burst out laughing, and said jokingly, "Dad, my hands are itchy because of what you did. When I was young, I liked playing with mud the most. I used mud to make a nest, which was hollow. I threw it hard. There was a "poof". Because of this, I was often scolded by my mother."

Seriously speaking, everyone laughed.They seem to have common interests.

At about ten o'clock in the evening, Mr. Zhou began to practice.First, burn incense and chant mantras, which lasted for half an hour.Seeing that it was almost done, he drew a sword sleeve with his left hand, pinched the sword finger with his right hand, pointed at the grave mound and shouted: "Disease."

Following the word "illness", a small flame burst out from the top of the "grave hat".At this time, the small grave was like a huge burning candle.The strange thing is that the fire is not that big, and the outside wind blows in, which makes people feel blown, but the flames stand up straight without trembling.

Mr. Zhou turned off the light casually.Then he confessed to Zhou Shui: "This flame is a will-o'-the-wisp, not a real will-o'-the-wisp, but a virtual fire inspired by the yin power of that piece of ghost paper. It will leave after a while, and swim to the side of the person who cast the blind eye. You drive Follow it, remember, recite the mantra while walking. The Taoist mantra is the most suitable, and that... the rebirth mantra is also fine. As long as you recite the mantra, it will not die, and keep on reciting it, and it will keep wandering until it finds that person."

Rigorous and Ruyu stuck out their tongues.Looking at this "mud candle" is full of surprise.

Zhou Shui pushed rigorously: "Don't be cautious, go and start the car."

The lights were turned off, and only this will-o'-the-wisp illuminated the room.I don't know if it's a psychological effect or a real situation.Zhou Shui felt a chill in the room out of thin air.The will-o'-the-wisp flickered, and the shadows of people reflected on the wall also had a gloomy feeling.Ruyu stuck out her tongue and said to herself naturally: "This effect is scarier than ghost movies."

The car started, and Ruyu and Zhou Shui got into the car.At this time, the ghost fire also floated out leisurely.Just a will-o'-the-wisp, without that little mound.Elder Zhou couldn't follow, so someone had to stay at home to watch the small mound and chant curses.In addition, cats and dogs should not be allowed to touch this grave mound.This mound is the root of the will-o’-the-wisp, and if it is damaged, the will-o’-the-wisp will be extinguished.

A rootless flame floated out. Although the flame was not big, it was not too difficult to follow at night.One of the reasons why this ritual must be done at night is because the flame is so conspicuous at night that it is not easy to lose sight of it.The other is that because of the sun during the day, the will-o'-the-wisps will be extinguished as soon as they are exposed to the sun.

The will-o'-the-wisp drifts to the right, but fortunately, there is a road not far to the right.Zhou Shui was worried that this will-o'-the-wisp would go in a straight line, crossing the house and over the ridge, so it would be impossible to follow.Who would have thought that this will-o'-the-wisp seemed to understand human nature, walking directly on the main road, neither fast nor slow, the car could just keep up.

On the main road, the will-o'-the-wisps began to go north.The city center of Tai Yuan is in the south, and if you go north, it becomes more and more remote.This road seems to have been repaired in recent years, and there are not too many passing vehicles.Zhou Shuikou kept chanting, Ruyu focused on staring at the ghost fire, driving carefully and carefully, with a clear division of labor, the ghost fire always dangled two or three meters in front of the car along the way.

An hour later, the will-o'-the-wisps disappeared.

This is a huge yard, and the walls on both sides can't see the end at all.The parking place seems to be the side entrance of this yard.Just a side door, its specifications are already far larger than the main entrance of an ordinary community.The door is a track door, the kind that is an aluminum alloy fence door with a self-moving function.

Zhou Shui saw the will-o'-the-wisp floating in from above the fence gate.The gate of the fence was closed tightly, and rigorousness could only stop the car.As soon as the car stopped, the will-o'-the-wisp disappeared immediately under the cover of the daylight-bright lights at the gate, but it was certain that the will-o'-the-wisp had entered the yard.

It was midnight, and there were still young people in twos and threes active in the yard.The pedestrian gate at the gate is still open, and there is a guard room next to the pedestrian gate, and two security guards in the guard room can be seen through the window.

Zhou Shui got out of the car, went to the door and took a look inside.This seems to be a school.Zhou Shui looked at the signboard on the door stack again—Tai Yuan University of Aeronautics and Astronautics.
