Ring of Seven [Publication Edition]

.

The clothes slowly fell to their feet, and the thin monkey was the most daring one. He squatted down and picked it up. After watching it for two or three seconds, he screamed like a ghost. He quickly threw away the clothes, rubbed his hands fiercely and said, " My god, this... this is a shroud! It's for the dead! Bah, bah, it's too bad luck!"

A tendon in Zhou Jue's forehead seemed to be broken. He stared at the clothes, through the moon glowing with a strange blush, he found that it was a royal blue shroud with many "shou" embroidered on it. It is very old and worn, but it is indeed the kind of shroud worn by the aged dead, and there is even a feeling that the clothes have been taken off from the corpse in the coffin.

Zhou Jue moved his lower lip, squatted down to pick up the clothes, and at this moment something fell out of the clothes pocket.Zhou Jue picked it up and saw that it was a book with a yellow cover. Zhou Jue held the book tightly and said to the two of them, "It's back again... This book is the book "Seven Human Ring."

The three of them didn't pick up the shroud, but Zhou Jue didn't know why, and stuffed the book into his backpack.Fat San immediately protested: "No, I can't take it back. Regardless of whether this book is the evil book you mentioned, it is actually wrapped in the clothes of a dead person. I feel unlucky, so throw it away."

Zhou Jue looked at him suddenly as if his sleepwalking was interrupted suddenly, then bit his lip, his eyes were full of hesitation, because at this moment he had the feeling that he absolutely couldn't give up on this book, as if it was his book. part of the body.At this time, the thin monkey said quietly: "I don't think it can be thrown..."

Fat San asked, "Why?"

The thin monkey said: "Think about it first, if it is really a transition from the story to reality, then Zhou Jue has already opened it, so even if you throw it away, something will still happen, and we have no way of knowing the content of the subsequent story..."

Fat San followed up with Thin Monkey and said, "You mean, if we don't know what's going on in the story, we can't predict what else will happen in real life?"

The thin monkey nodded and said: "It's possible. The plot we know now is all the content that Zhou Jue read before, but how much has he read? This book is so thick, just in case... I mean just in case What happened next happened to us?"

Sweat dripped from Fat San's forehead immediately, he nodded and said, "You are so right, Skinny Monkey, it's okay to carry it anyway, if it's okay, it's just an ordinary torn book, don't worry about it." ball?"

Zhou Jue thought for a moment, then squeezed the book into his backpack as if making up his mind: "Let's go back first."

The three of Zhou Jue returned to the dormitory, and Feng Laojiu had already fallen asleep.Fat San dragged him off the bed repeatedly.Zhou Jue took out the book and put it on the folding table, the four of them stared at the book with eight eyes.

Feng Laojiu touched the glasses from the desk and looked down at the book, muttering: "This book is so old, it feels like it has been around for decades. However, this cover should be from after the founding of New China..."

After finishing speaking, he wanted to turn it over, but Zhou Jue stopped him sharply: "Don't touch it!"

The other three looked at Zhou Jue with questioning eyes. Zhou Jue realized that he had lost his composure. He faltered and touched his neck and said, "No... no... I always feel that this book is too evil. You'd better not read it." bump."

Feng Laojiu let out a burst of laughter. He put on his glasses, sat beside Zhou Jue and said, "You care too much, what can be so evil about a book? I just want to see what is written in this book. "But the hand retracted.

Fat San and Thin Monkey glanced at each other, and Thin Monkey said, "Is it possible that someone actually wants to punish you? Have you offended anyone in the library?"

Zhou Jue covered his forehead and said with a sneer: "How is it possible, don't you guys know my personality? And even if someone has trouble with me, but today I walked to the library for no reason, and then met the shroud for no reason, and finally fell out of the clothes. Publish this book I hid in the box, you say, who is so deliberate to punish me like this? I’m full? It doesn’t make sense.”

Zhou Jue asked questions like a cannonball, venting out the emotions accumulated in his heart for a long time.When he asked such a question, no one could answer, but it aroused the question of the thin monkey: "Then why was everything fine a while ago? We played games all night so many times."

Fat San said: "Stupid! What day is it today? It's July Half Ghost Festival! It's so dark."

Finally, after a long time, these four people came back again.Zhou Jue clutched his chin and stared at the book, as if he wanted to see a hole in the book.He stared at the book for a long time, and finally said: "I think there is one person who may give us the answer."

Feng Laojiu supported the glasses frame: "You mean Chen Hao?"

Zhou Jue finally shifted his eyes from the book to Feng Laojiu, Feng Laojiu folded his arms and sighed, "How should I put it, I think if I have to say that, I think that Gu Laojiu is even more suspicious."

Zhou Jue shook his head, and looked straight at the book again. He slowly extended his hand to the book, and the other three did not speak.Just when Zhou Jue was about to open the book, the thin monkey suddenly said, "I have a way, maybe I can know whether this book is evil or not."

Everyone's eyes fell on the thin monkey again, and even Zhou Jue, who was a little absent-minded, cast a questioning look at him.The thin monkey was a little embarrassed, wiped his nose and said, "Our family is Manchu, and there is a habit of inviting Sama in our hometown. When I was young, I heard from my grandpa that there is a method to test whether an object is cursed or not."

Fat San asked curiously: "What method?"

The thin monkey said: "This method is called 'Taiyin Qiankun Measurement'. It is said that on the night of the full moon, one thing with the most yang energy and one with the most yin energy are placed on the sides of the two mirrors. In front, then put the evil thing between these two things, then put a basin of water in front, drip human blood into it, and see which direction the blood leans, you can know whether this thing is evil or not."

Fat San stroked his fat chin and said, "I've heard this saying before, but it seems very evil. It's a religious method closest to the primitive worship of nature. Are you sure about the thin monkey?"

The thin monkey shrugged his shoulders and said, "What do you think? Do you think my house is in the deep mountains and old forests? I only heard about it from my grandpa, but never saw it with my own eyes."

Zhou Jue patted the table and said, "Let's try it. Indeed, Sama may really be useful for this kind of thing. Fat San, have you forgotten? The word shaman first appeared in historical books, "Three Dynasties Northern Alliance" It is recorded in "Huibian" that "the Wu family is treacherous and talented... The people of the country are called Shanman. The Shanman, the Jurchen language witch is also like a god for its flexibility." The original intention of shaman is to understand ghosts and gods. If this book If there is a ghost, then it must be detected. And today is exactly July and a half, the night of the full moon, but what is extremely yang and what is extremely yin?"

Feng Laojiu smiled and said, "I'm not a specialist in this field, don't you guys study folk customs?"

Fat San didn't want to lose face on such a crucial issue, so he could only bite the bullet and say: "I think...it's the warmest and coldest thing! That's right, that's what it means."

Zhou Jue shook his head and denied, "It's not exactly like this. Just think about it, Taiji produces Liangyi, and transforms Yin into Yang. For example, we men belong to Yang, women belong to Yin..."

Fat San quickly interrupted Zhou Jue's analysis and said, "Stop it...do you still have men and women? Where do we get women from here? Are you a woman?"

Zhou Jue glanced at him and said, "Idiot and incompetent trash! Think about it, we men are yang, but any attribute has both yin and yang attached. Even in us men, there are also feminine things. But this is not the conclusion I want, I just put forward the two things that are easiest to obtain Yin and Yang, they are actually magnets! Stupid!"

Feng Laojiu patted the table and said: "I understand! So those who look at Feng Shui must use Sinan or Compass. In fact, this is the most obvious, it is Yin and Yang!"

Zhou Jue crossed his hands and supported his chin and said, "Yes, the magnetic needle is made of iron, and the five elements of iron belong to gold. According to the saying that the five elements generate and restrain each other, gold generates water, and the north belongs to water, so the north water is the son of gold. Iron is produced in Magnet, magnet is produced by the gestation of yang, yang belongs to fire, and it is located in the south, so the south is the mother of the magnetic needle. So people in the Southern Song Dynasty said that the compass is where the anger lies."

Feng Laojiu continued: "A magnet has two poles, N and S. N always points to the North Pole, and S always points to the South Pole! S is extremely positive, and N is extremely negative. Find two magnets, and then use N or S To the mirror, and we get the most yin and the most yang!"
