Chapter 0020: Terrified
Now I finally understood why Liu Feihe had been worried after hearing about the cause of He Qianxue's death. It turns out there was this reason.
"Don't interrupt, let Master Liu finish what he has to say first!" Master He Jiu scolded, and judging from his appearance, he was obviously very nervous.
Because the fate of the Xue family is almost exactly the same as that of the He family.
Liu Feihe sighed slightly and continued speaking.
At the beginning, Master Liu Feihe felt that the matter was not simple, so he traced the Xue family back several generations and found out that the Xue family was not originally from Liuzhou, but moved to Liuzhou from other places one hundred and thirty years ago.
It was also from this generation that the daughter of the Xue family began to show abnormalities.
Ever since Miss Xue's grandfather gave away all the family wealth, became a monk and disappeared, Miss Xue's father knew very little about family affairs.
Although Master Liu Feihe was knowledgeable, he was unable to figure out what had happened to the Xue family. Later, he used the art of Feng Shui to look around the Xue family's ancestral home and finally discovered a secret room.
There is a statue of the god in the secret room.
Because what happened at that time had a huge impact on Liu Feihe, he remembered it deeply and unforgettably. He clearly remembered the shape, clothing, posture, and Buddha's finger of the statue, which were exactly the same as the one in the He family.
However, the material of this statue is slightly different. The other one is made of white jade, and it is much smaller, only about one person tall.
What concerned Liu Feihe the most was that the face of the statue was equally beautiful and enchanting, but it was completely different from the one of the He family.
About three days later, Liu Feihe was suddenly called over by his master, who said that he was going out with Xue's father and asked him to stay to help Xue's mother take care of Miss Xue's funeral.
Liu Feihe didn't think much about it and nodded in agreement.
But who would have thought that his master and father Xue would never come back after they left.
It was then that Liu Feihe suddenly realized that his master might have found some clues, so he took Xue's father to investigate.
When he went to look for the statue again, he found that it had disappeared.
After that, he searched everywhere but still couldn't find the whereabouts of his master and Xue's father, and he regretted it for the rest of his life.
I sighed as I listened to this. The experiences of the Xue family and the He family are really strikingly similar.
However, Miss Xue’s grandfather is more decisive.
Precisely because he knew that the tragic death of Xue's daughter was inevitable, he simply hardened his heart to become a monk himself, and asked his son to never marry, so that the Xue family would have no descendants, in order to cut off this horrible evil consequence!
It’s a pity that things don’t always go as we wish.
However, this is enough to show that the terrible things that happened to the Xue and He families must be related to this strange statue!
He Jintang suddenly asked: "Could it be that our ancestors hid the secret on the statue?"
Master and disciple Liu Feihe and I slowly circled the statue. It was completely black and we couldn't tell what kind of stone it was made of.
"Is there something wrong with this altar?" Liu Feihe's eldest disciple named Meng asked, pointing at the altar.
Master He Jiu shook his head: "I come down to offer sacrifices from time to time, and I have checked many times, but I have not found anything."
The man surnamed Meng was unwilling to give up. He went over and checked again and again, but found nothing.
His master Liu Feihe stared at the statue in silence.
I stepped back a few steps, squinted my eyes and carefully examined the entire statue, counted quickly with my fingers behind my back, and quietly used physiognomy.
In physiognomy, the first thing is observation, the second is calculation.
In addition to heaven, earth and man, every object in the world also has its own quality, so nothing is impossible to look at and nothing is impossible to count!
However, this subject is extremely mysterious and one often relies on nothing more than a flash of inspiration.
After much calculation, I feel that the most inconsistent part of this statue is the face!
Thinking back to what Liu Feihe had said before, that the statues of the Xue and He families were identical in all other aspects except for their faces, he suddenly had an idea and looked up carefully for a while before saying, "There might be something strange on the head."
When the others heard my reminder, they opened their eyes wide and looked up.
The lighting was dim at the time, and the stone statue was more than 20 meters tall and made of black stone. It was completely unclear when viewed from below.
"What's so strange about what you said?" said the man surnamed Meng disapprovingly.
I was just guessing and not sure, so I said to Master He Jiu, "I want to go up and take a look. Is it convenient?"
After all, this is the statue worshipped by the He family. Climbing it without permission would be a blasphemy.
After a slight hesitation, Mr. He Jiu nodded and agreed. He then asked me what tools and equipment I needed so that he could ask A Biao to prepare them.
The man surnamed Meng laughed and said, "What tools do you need? I'll go up and take a look!"
As he said this, he rolled up his sleeves, kicked his legs, and climbed up.
I saw him grab with both hands and jump up several meters. He was quite skilled. I reached out and touched the black stone of the statue, only to feel it was cold and quite rough. Then I climbed up slowly.
The man surnamed Meng, however, jumped very fast. In a moment, he reached the waist of the statue and hung there. He turned his head and smiled at me, "You are as slow as a snail. What are you trying to do? Do you want me to help you?"
I smiled and said, "Be careful of yourself and don't fall down."
Still climbing up slowly.
The man surnamed Meng smiled proudly and said, "My master has thrown me on a cliff since I was a child. I can climb up this kind of terrain even with my eyes closed. How can it be difficult for me?"
As he spoke, he used his hands and feet to climb up at an incredible speed, and there was a burst of exclamations and cheers from below.
I observed carefully as I climbed.
The first principle of physiognomy lies in "appearance".
Xiang means "wait and see", and its importance is even greater than "calculate".
Of course, the meaning of "watch and see" does not just refer to seeing with the eyes, but includes the five senses of "form, sound, smell, taste and touch". In layman's terms, it means "vision", "hearing", "smell", "taste" and "touch".
Therefore, as a fortune teller, first of all, you must have extremely keen five senses and have the clearest understanding of the surrounding environment at all times.
This stone statue is made entirely of unknown black stone with exquisite craftsmanship. It looks natural, and even the smallest patterns on the clothes are carved to look lifelike.
I was admiring the exquisite craftsmanship of this statue when I suddenly saw something around her waist.
Judging from the shape, it seems to be a round jade ring hanging on the waist. The craftsman who created this statue even carefully carved the patterns on the jade ring.
A small part of the jade ring was covered by clothing, but from the exposed part, it seemed to be a rune with an extremely complex structure.
I was secretly surprised when I heard the man named Meng above my head laugh three times. It turned out that he had climbed onto the shoulders of the statue.
He walked a few steps along the outstretched arm of the statue, came to the neck, exclaimed, "This seems a little strange."
By this time, I had already climbed to the waist level of the statue. Looking far ahead, I saw that there seemed to be a very fine mark on the statue's slender neck.
Seeing the man surnamed Meng reaching out to touch it, he hurriedly shouted, "Don't touch it!"
The man surnamed Meng disagreed and reached out to touch his neck.
I heard a crackling sound and was instantly horrified. A crack appeared on the neck of the statue!
