Chapter 53: Eight Coffins to Suppress Evil
Since my cousin already had a direction and it was getting late, I went back to the dormitory and packed my things with Dong Jing.
My cousin’s treasure bag is always full. He stands next to us and watches us pack up.
After a long silence, when he saw that we had almost finished packing up our things, he said, "Our mission tonight is very simple. We need to find a pattern in the school."
His hands paused as he was packing up. Pattern?
I looked back at my cousin and he nodded at me: "Yes, pattern."
My cousin, who had been silent just now, was thinking about something.
"Have you heard of the Eight Coffins to Suppress Evil?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Dong Jing dropped the glass in her hand. It was obvious that both she and I were in a trance.
The crisp sound of glass shattering brought Dong Jing and I back to our senses.
Eight coffins to suppress evil? !
I saw it not long ago in a book my cousin gave me.
It doesn’t matter how many coffins are used to suppress evil spirits; what matters is using coffins to suppress evil spirits.
As for why there are eight coffins, I don’t quite understand.
"When I was bored before, I paid attention to the Feng Shui here. I found that, apart from the sea on the back and a stone in the middle of the sea, the location of the school is exactly the most feminine place."
My cousin sat down next to us, took out paper and pen and started drawing.
Through his writing, I gradually understood.
These five villages are connected into one village.
There are mountains surrounding Zhuangzi from which you can see that there are high streams flowing.
When you get to the school side, the beach is just behind you.
It represents the wealth of this manor, and this is where it ends.
"I was watching the sunrise this morning and saw the Golden Mountain. Do you know the Golden Mountain?"
My cousin looked at Dong Jing and me and nodded.
I know about Rizhao Jinshan Mountain.
Only when a mountain has dragon veins will it turn golden when exposed to the sun.
After all, the light from the sun may also be other colors, otherwise there would be no rainbow.
The gold color represents that this mountain has dragon veins.
"The Golden Mountain I mentioned just now is a whole mountain."
I looked in the direction of my cousin's finger. A whole mountain?
What he meant was the mountains behind the village, which numbered nine in total.
Those nine mountaintops were all illuminated by the golden sun.
I couldn't help but feel that nature really made humans insignificant. I didn't know how to react and goose bumps instantly covered my whole body.
Generally speaking, it is difficult to find a mountain top that is a golden mountain in the sun.
This village consists of nine hilltops, all of which are golden mountains illuminated by the sun!
This is equivalent to there being several small dragon veins here that converge into a huge dragon vein.
But unfortunately, this dragon vein is cut off when it reaches the school.
Because the yin energy there is very heavy, it absorbs all the dragon veins.
"So the cafeteria aunt, also known as the Yin-Yang master, came up with the idea of using eight coffins to suppress evil. Eight coffins were used, divided into groups of two, to suppress the four directions of east, south, west, and north respectively."
My cousin explained and drew an icon on the paper.
"Do you see this thing ? After we enter the school, help me find this icon. I think this Yin Yang Master is not an ordinary person. She has her reasons for doing this. I also don't think she is so great that she would kill people for no reason, just so that other people in this village can live a long life and have a lot of money."
I was stunned for a moment after listening to what my cousin said.
What he said makes sense, no normal person would do that.
Unless this one is installed, someone asks her for help.
But as a Yin-Yang master, she should be very clear that as long as her hands are stained with blood, she will owe a Yin debt.
This is a loss-making situation for the Yin-Yang master, and it will harm others and not benefit himself.
Unless the person who asked her for help gave her something she really wanted.
But what is this?
No matter how hard I think about it, I just can't figure out what makes a person willing to kill people at all costs?
My cousin looked at us and smiled: "It's good that you have such doubts. With the determination to solve the mystery, we will definitely find the icon tonight."
"You mean this is something an organization does?" I asked.
Dong Jing, who had been listening quietly, said, "It is very likely that it is related to the ancient curse on you."
When I heard that it was related to the curse, I immediately perked up.
Must find that icon tonight!
"Let's go, it's getting dark, and I'm almost done."
Seeing that we were almost done packing, my cousin called out to us.
When we were just walking out, Hu Yue was walking in. When he saw us, he said he would take us to the school.
"No need, we know the way and we can go there by ourselves. You'd better notify the nearby villagers and tell them not to come out if they hear any noise tonight and wait until dawn." My cousin gave an order, raised his hand to look at his watch, and motioned for us to leave quickly.
It is still a quarter before midnight . The school is not far from the dormitory. After all, the dormitories are all occupied by workers. In order to facilitate their daily work, they specially found a vacant lot next to the school and built a simple dormitory.
As soon as we arrived at school, we started to divide the work and cooperate with each other.
This school is indeed different at night than when I came here during the day.
I don’t know if it’s my illusion, but I always feel that the closer I get to studying, the more I feel the chilly wind.
The wind was freezing cold, but the temperature had actually been warmer in the past two days, so there shouldn't be this kind of wind.
My cousin took a charcoal pencil and drew a circle on the ground. He was preparing to set up a formation.
This time was different from usual. After I entered the school, I couldn’t see clearly and everything was blurry.
At first I thought I was sick, but then I took out the pill from my pocket and ate it, but I still didn't feel better.
"What's wrong with you? Why do you fail me at the critical moment?"
My cousin looked at me and his face started to turn pale. He was obviously a little unhappy.
"It's very likely that he collided with something. Let him stay here. He knows how to set up the formation anyway. Come with me." Dong Jing frowned and raised her hand to look at her watch.
The time is getting closer to midnight and we can't waste any more time arranging work.
Having said that, I started to complete the formation by myself.
Dong Jing is right. After following my cousin for so long, I have slowly learned how to do it. The formation is not difficult for me.
So I took the charcoal pencil from my cousin and started to complete his unfinished work.
Seeing that there was no problem on my side, my cousin and Dong Jing went upstairs and started looking for the icon.
