After hearing that her father was still alive and well, Sister Liang finally breathed a sigh of relief. So she asked Hu Zongren again, that person is fine, why are you crying? Hu Zongren said impatiently, "Who knew that your dad, at such an old age, would still hurt so much when he hit someone? If he punched me in the nose, could I not cry?" I couldn't help being funny, so I interrupted and said to Sister Liang, your father is fine. There was something wrong when we checked just now. The situation may be more serious than we thought before. For everyone's safety, I suggest None of us should go back into the house until this is clear. Sister Liang asked me, what should my father do if he wants to eat? I glanced at Hu Zongren and said, "It's okay, let's feed him." ¡°Actually, I just said it. After seeing Uncle Liang¡¯s terrifying appearance just now, it¡¯s hard for me to believe that I would reach out my hand when feeding him. Then I pulled Hu Zongren aside and planned to discuss it with him. Because everything happened so fast after entering the back room, Hu Zongren and I didn't even have any time to communicate before we escaped in a hurry. I think that my observation ability is slightly more detailed than that of Hu Zongren, so in such a short period of time, I actually discovered a lot of new doubts. These doubts make me very scared, so some decisions can only be made after Hu Zongren and I reach an agreement. The biggest doubt is undoubtedly the metal sheet in Uncle Liang¡¯s mouth and the tattoo on the ghost¡¯s hand afterwards. I had already learned from Sister Liang that it was a lotus tattoo, but after seeing it with my own eyes, I found that Sister Liang's description was not careful enough. Although it is indeed a lotus flower, it is somewhat different from the lotus flower we usually imagine. It does not appear very concrete, but relatively abstract. The lotus on the tattoo is more like a religious symbol, just like the lotus with Guanyin sitting on the lotus in the paintings we have seen in daily life. If it is a religious pattern, then the lotus should be with Guanyin Bodhisattva, but many people think that tattooing the image of a god on the body is a disrespect for the god. Because as a mortal, it is inevitable to have seven emotions and six desires, but the gods pay attention to one thing: no desire and no pursuit. Then, for example, when a couple is intimate, the god in the tattoo will form a kind of blasphemy in the process. I am very glad that my own tattoo is just the Fudo Myoyo Mantra. Although it is tattooed on my chest, it is my zodiac Buddha after all. In addition, I am not a Buddhist originally. This tattoo was only made by Master Yin in Chengdu. Under the guidance, it's just to protect yourself from the hidden arrows of Cha Wudao. So although I'm not very particular about it, these days, this tattoo has brought me mostly positive things, so I don't care much about it. But the thing on the ghost's hand is different. In any religion, there are more or less methods to suppress and fight against ghosts. The lotus tattooed on the ghost's hand should have been used to intimidate and suppress ghosts, but now it is not. Appearing together, this is something I didn't expect at all. "In addition, I am very sure that the metal piece in Uncle Liang's mouth is actually the lotus flower in the ghost's hand. This also proves that all this was not accidental, but someone did it deliberately. Regardless of who put this metal lotus into Uncle Liang's mouth for what motive, if someone later notified Hu Zongren and me to handle the case without going through the victim, think about it, this case seems to be It's for both of us. When I was fighting that ghost hand, I stabbed it many times with a rope-head nail. Every time I stabbed it, Uncle Liang's body would vibrate. In my opinion, it seems that there is an interoperable connection between the ghost hand and Uncle Liang's body, so I made a bold guess, whether someone would regard Uncle Liang's entire body as a hand, and The lotus in the mouth corresponds to the lotus on the ghost's hand? Another thing I don't understand is that after we followed Sister Liang into the house for the first time, we found that the whole house was tightly closed and it was pitch dark in broad daylight. I regret that none of us thought at that time why. Keep curtains and doors closed. But when Hu Zongren lifted the curtains and opened the door, Uncle Liang's painful expression clearly conveyed a message to us that he was afraid of the light. If, as I guessed, Uncle Liang and the ghost hands echo each other, then that means that the two ghost hands on the bed and the ghost behind the ghost hands should be afraid of light. If we really To clean it up, maybe we have to start from the perspective of "light". After I analyzed these situations and the doubts I noticed to Hu Zongren, that pig, although he also thought that what I said was right, it was still very difficult for us, one tall and one short, to stand at the door and stupidly think of a solution. It is difficult to solve this problem. So Hu Zongren said to me, do you remember what Situ said to us that night at his house? I said remember it, and he said that if we had anything to do, we could ask him. Although he was too old to follow us on long journeys, he would still do his best to give us advice.?Hu Zongren said a little embarrassedly, you know, what I don't like the most is trouble others, but this time we may really be a little unskilled, so let's ask Situ. I nodded, and then asked Hu Zongren, should you make the call or should I? Hu Zongren said, it's better for you to fight. I don't think about it as carefully as you do, and you can express it more clearly than me. So I said to Sister Liang who was standing aside, why don't you go have a meal first, and we'll stay here to watch. There are some things we can't figure out that we need to ask the seniors for advice. This is a professional saying, and you are an ordinary person. , it is better to avoid it. Although she was unwilling, Sister Liang agreed. She said she would go to the other end to have something to eat and would come back later. After Sister Liang's figure disappeared around the corner, I took out the phone and called Master Situ. It is already close to 1 o'clock at noon. Situ and Tiesongzi are both old people, and their work and rest schedules are somewhat different from us young people, so I guess this time is just the time for them to finish eating and then plan to take a nap. It wasn't too late yet, so I called Situ. The first thing Situ said after picking up the phone was to ask where we were, as if Hu Zongren and I were going to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing. I told him that we were in Jiangbei City, and you had everything figured out, but when we were handling this case, we encountered some things we didn't understand, and we needed you to use your profound knowledge to show us the way. Then I told Situ everything that happened since we arrived here in as much detail as possible. It¡¯s different from usual. Situ usually expresses his opinion after listening to my story. But when I talked about the ghost hand and the lotus in Uncle Liang's mouth, Situ suddenly interrupted me and asked me in detail what the lotus looked like. I said it looked a bit like the lotus in religious symbols. The petals of the lotus looked like the flame of a candle, with olive-shaped pointed corners. Situ asked me, is the bottom of the lotus flat with a seat or is it just empty? I said it was empty, but I only judged the one in Uncle Liang's mouth. I didn't take it out to look at it, but I guess it was exactly the same as the one in my hand. After listening to what I said, Situ remained silent for a long time, then sighed and said, you two kids, the real test begins now! In fact, what I'm most afraid of is hearing Situ speak to me in this tone, because such a tone usually only appears after Situ knows what happened, and the helpless reproach seems to be telling me I feel like you two are really involved in a huge dispute. But that¡¯s how people are, the more ominous they feel, the more they want to know the truth as soon as possible. So I asked Situ anxiously, "Just tell me, what's going on?" Situ said, I think you may have provoked a secret sect, the White Lotus Sect. I know the White Lotus Sect, and I can be considered a fan of Mr. Jin Yong¡¯s books. However, in Mr. Jin Yong¡¯s books, the White Lotus Sect often appears in a rather mysterious image. In reality, I have repeatedly come into contact with some real members of the White Lotus Sect over the years. Although they are not as strange and unpredictable as what is written in the book, they are often mysterious and elusive, giving people a feeling that they are not easy to get close to. Strictly speaking, they are a branch of Buddhism, because they worship Maitreya Buddha. In the ghost hunting industry, except for Taoism, shamanism and some Buddhists, there is a well-known name called Onmyoji, and most of them are They are all from the White Lotus Sect. When I was still studying with my master, he told me that although the power of the White Lotus Sect is no longer what it was back then, this esoteric sect still left behind many mysterious secrets. It belongs to the "Pure Land Sect". It was originally a sect. It appeared in the form of religious worship, but because it has been relatively active in history, it was subsequently exploited and became a spiritual force for peasant uprisings. My master also told me that people in ancient times were relatively ignorant, and farmers accounted for the majority. They were squeezed so hard that they needed to find a breakthrough. At this time, some religious ideas gave them a very beautiful vision, so history There are not a few turmoils in the world caused by religious calls. The most well-known one is the Taiping Rebellion in the Qing Dynasty. Although many years later, I can always find a similar trajectory in any change of dynasty. Even in the era we live in today, after giving the people a beautiful promise, they overthrew the original system with the help of the people's power, but Who knows if there will be another similar trajectory? So I asked Situ on the phone, I didn¡¯t have much contact with the White Lotus Sect, why did they suddenly sneak in again this time, and the one who had a grudge against us was the Xuanyuan Hui, who were all Taoist priests!
