Ring of Seven [Online Version]

After a long conversation with his brothers, Zhou Jue also felt that he was too allergic.He felt a little ashamed of himself for thinking so unmanly.So in the following days, he never talked about the novel again.Living the same routine as the freshman year.His wife lived a peaceful life and nothing strange happened again. He went to the library several times later, and the novel with "long feet" disappeared again as he expected.The fact that the book could not be found made Zhou Jue feel restless for several days, but he still did not appear.In the end, he didn't go to the library to work. He quit his part-time job and concentrated on working in school.As for the main reason for not going to the library to work part-time, he wanted to control his desire to read that book, otherwise he would go there every day to rummage through boxes, and others would think he was waiting for a love letter.

This day, people in their dormitory went to the Internet cafe together as usual, and the only one staying behind was Feng Laojiu.It wasn't until early in the morning that Zhou Jue and the three hurried to school. On the way, Fat San looked at his mobile phone and said to himself: "Tomorrow is July and a half, and it's a fucking ghost festival. Dude, light a cigarette and light up your fire."

Zhou Jue blocked the wind with his hand and lit up, took a puff of cigarette and said, "Didn't you tell me, don't mention these things in front of me."

Fat San sneered unceremoniously: "You are too cowardly, because of those trivial matters, you don't even go to the library. You still control the brothers' freedom of speech and deeds?"

Zhou Jue didn't bother to tell him, Fat San symbolized his dissatisfaction and hammered Zhou Jue's chest, and Thin Monkey grabbed the two of them: "Stop making trouble, I have to go to class tomorrow. By the way, you said that tomorrow is July." Half a month? Isn't it today?"

Fat San let out a cry and said, "Ahhh! I made a mistake! If I had known, I wouldn't have stayed up all night with a few brothers, and now I'm going back to hell."

Zhou Jue took a puff of smoke and said, "I'm afraid of your sister. You said I was timid earlier, and you won't get better. And I have my own reasons for not going to the library. You don't know how annoying that Chen Hao is." .”

Then when Zhou Jue finished speaking, the three of them fell silent for some unknown reason, but they all felt very strange why none of them answered the conversation suddenly.It was as if there was a fourth person to silence them.

The three of them glanced at each other, and in the end they only had a few guilty laughs, and then walked back at a faster pace.Because they didn't ride bicycles, the three of them walked all the way back. This distance is equivalent to the length of two bus lines.

Halfway through, Fat San, who was the weakest, began to pant a little.He touched the back of his head and said, "Do you feel as if someone is blowing on the back of my neck. Why do I feel like someone is always by my side?"

After finishing speaking, he wanted to look back, but the thin monkey quickly grabbed him and said, "There must be no one, so don't look back. I heard that if you walk at night and feel that someone is behind you, you must not look back. Otherwise... ..."

The fat man rubbed his neck and asked tremblingly, "Otherwise?"

The thin monkey glanced at him nervously.He licked his lips and talked about that incident: "Otherwise, we will never be able to go back. Our hometown is very snowy in winter. My second uncle had his fiftieth birthday that year, and our whole family went to the restaurant to celebrate his birthday. We are full of wine and food. The second uncle suddenly suggested that everyone walk back together and continue the fun at his house. At this time, the snow that had stopped suddenly started to fall again. It was so big that it was like falling snow. I couldn’t open my eyes. He turned around and said that someone was calling him. We said he heard it wrong, and he didn’t have any idea, but after walking a few steps, he turned back and said that he really heard someone calling him. He told us to go first, saying that it might be That relative was left behind. But this time he never came back, and after a few days you guess where we found him? He was actually buried alive under the snow on that road, and we didn't find him until the snow melted The forensic doctor said that he was drinking too much and had a sudden myocardial infarction. To be honest, my elders all said that he was snatched away by ghosts. It is said that there are two lights on our shoulders behind us, and one of them went out. Hurry up, go back to sleep quickly, eat more Yang Qi food in the morning, but if both lights go out, then you will really go away with ghosts...so that is to say, go back..."

The thin monkey talked more and more coldly, and finally he didn't have the confidence to continue talking, but Fat San immediately stopped looking back.Instead, she looked at him with an expression of "Are you sure? Brother".

Because Zhou Jue talked about books again earlier, his mood became uncharacteristically absent-minded, and the weird commotion in his heart revived again.He felt as if something was following him all the time today, and this thing made him very uncomfortable.

Zhou Jue interrupted their nonsense irritably: "Stop talking about this at this moment! Let's go!"

So the three of them speeded up, and finally rushed forward at a trot. Apart from their messy footsteps, not even the bugs screamed on the empty street.At this time, Hou Zhoujue gradually discovered a problem, and he shouted out of breath, "Stop, stop, stop! Why do you have to take a long detour? You can go back to school directly at the corner ahead, why do you have to go this way?"

Thin Monkey and Fat San paused, looked at each other and said, "We are following you, ah, that's not right. How could we go here!"

Zhou Jue grabbed them and said, "Wait, you said I would take you away, but I was obviously walking behind you."

The thin monkey looked at him with complicated eyes and said, "Fart, you are obviously walking ahead of me."

At this moment, the three of them stopped, the thin monkey walked in the front, and Zhou Jue and Fat San stood side by side.

Fat San rubbed his arm, he looked up at the nearby building and said, "Damn it! It's so evil! Library?"

Zhou Jue looked up, and saw the three-story building from the 50s standing in front of him.The black mass seemed to be a huge tombstone.Zhou Jue stood blankly at the door of the library, muttering something in his mouth.Fat San started to panic, he pulled the other two people and said, "Don't, don't read it, let's go! It's July Half Ghost Festival."

Just when Zhou Jue and the others hurriedly turned their heads to cross the road, he saw that the window on the library floor opened automatically, and there was a person standing by the window, but that person only showed his arms and half of his body.The face is not visible at all.He opened the window, and the dark curtain began to flutter like a piece of black silk, as if calling Zhou Jue and the others.

Zhou Jue stopped and walked back for a while, but Fat San grabbed him and said, "Why don't you leave?" His face was as stiff as a cast, and he turned around and said, "You guys Look, is there something there?"

Fat San and Thin Monkey were terrified by his appearance, they raised their heads and looked up at the same time, Zhou Jue found that the figure had disappeared, and there was still a piece of cloth hanging on the curtain at some time, and upon closer inspection it turned out to be a piece of cloth. clothes.Just when the eyes of the three of them were locked on the curtain, the dress seemed to be sentient, and it was blown by the wind sooner or later, and then slowly floated down.At that time, Zhou Jue and the others didn't feel any wind blowing.

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, threw away the clothes quickly, and rubbed his hands fiercely. Said: "My god, this... This is a shroud! It's for the dead! Pooh, it's too bad luck!"

A tendon in Zhou Jue's forehead seemed to be broken. He stared at the dress, and through the moonlight glowing with a strange blush, he found that it was a royal blue shroud with many birthday embroidered on it. Character.And very run down.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 the corpse in the coffin.

Zhou Jue moved his lower lip, he squatted down to pick up the clothes, and something happened to fall 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 "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 on his own.Fat San immediately protested: "No, I can't take it back. Regardless of whether this book is the evil book you mentioned, but it's wrapped in the clothes of a dead person, I feel unlucky. Throw it away."

Zhou Jue looked at him suddenly as if his sleepwalking was interrupted suddenly, and then he bit his lip and his eyes were full of hesitation, because at this time he had the mentality that he absolutely couldn't give up on this book.It was as if the book were part of his body.At this time, the thin monkey said faintly, "I don't think we can throw it away..."

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, things 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 that if we don't know the next development of the story, we can't predict what 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, in case... I mean in case Once the following things happen to us, what should we do?"

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 not, it's just an ordinary torn book, and you're afraid of a ball? "

Zhou Jue thought for a moment, then made up his mind to hold the book and stuff it into the backpack: "Go back first and then talk about it."

The three of Zhou Jue returned to the dormitory, and Feng Laojiu had already fallen asleep.Fat San pulled and dragged him off the bed.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. But the cover like this should be after liberation..."

After finishing speaking, he wanted to turn the page, but Zhou Jue stopped him sharply when he saw this: "Don't touch it!"

The other three looked at Zhou Jue with questioning eyes. Zhou Jue realized that he had lost his composure. He falteringly 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 burst out laughing. He put on his glasses and sat beside Zhou Jue and said, "What's so evil about a book if you care too much about it? I just want to see what's written in this book." But 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? Has your library offended anyone?"

Zhou Jue asked, "How?"

Fat San was afraid that the thin monkey would not be able to express clearly, so he took a step forward and said: "For example, is there a possibility that you actually offended someone, and they deliberately made a broken book to scare you, and they arranged it for tonight."

Zhou Jue covered his forehead with a sneer and said, "How is it possible, don't you guys know my personality? And even if someone has trouble with me, but today I went to the library for no reason, and then I met the shroud for no reason? Finally, I got it out of my clothes. Falling out of this book I hid in the box? Who do you think is so deliberate to punish me like this? Stretching after eating? It doesn’t make sense.”

Zhou Jue asked questions like a cannonball, actually expressing all the emotions accumulated in his heart for a long time.But when he asked, no one could answer.Instead, it aroused the question of the thin monkey: "So it was all right 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.Zhou Jue stared at the book for a long time, and finally said: "I think there is someone who may give us the answer."

Feng Laojiu nodded his glasses frame: "You mean Chen Hao?"

Zhou Jue finally shifted his eyes from the book to Feng Laojiu, and 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, stared at the book again, and slowly stretched his hand towards the book.The other three did not speak.Just when Zhou Jue was about to open the book, the thin monkey 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 in front of him, cast a questioning look at him.He was a little embarrassed, rubbed his nose and said, "Our family is Manchu, and there is a habit of inviting Sama there. When I was a child, I heard from my grandfather that there is actually a suspicious way to test whether objects are cursed."

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 will be created.Then put these two things in front of the two mirrors, and then put the evil thing between the two things. At this time, put a basin of water in front, drip human blood, and watch which direction the blood leans.Then you can know whether this thing is evil or not. "

Fat San stroked his fat chin and said, "It seems that I heard it in class, but that thing seems very evil. It is a religion that is 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 be really useful for this kind of thing. Fat San, have you forgotten? The word shaman originally comes from the ancient word 'Jdamman', It is the special name for the shamans, that is, the people who dance the gods, which is what we call the great gods. This thing first appeared in the historical records, and it is recorded in the "Three Dynasties Beimenghui" that "the family is treacherous and talented. ...... Guorenhao It is Shanman. Shanman, Jurchen witches also, because of its ability to change like a god'. So its original meaning is to communicate with ghosts and gods. If there are ghosts in this book, then it can be detected. And today happens to be July and a half, full moon night, 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 murmur: "I think...it's the warmest and coldest thing! That's right, that's what it means."

Zhou Jue shook his head and vetoed: "It's not exactly like this. 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: "Ignorant and ignorant trash! Think about it, we men are yang, but any attribute has both yin and yang attached. Even we men, there are also feminine things. But This is not the conclusion I want, I just proposed that the two things that Yin and Yang are most likely to obtain are actually magnets, you idiot."

Feng Laojiu patted the table and said: "I understand! So those who look at Feng Shui must use Sinan or Compass. In fact, it is the most obvious two levels of yin and yang!"

Zhou Jue crossed his hands and supported his chin and said, "That's right, the magnetic needle is made of iron, and the five elements of iron belong to gold. According to the theory that the five elements produce grams, gold produces 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 have the most yin and most yang things!"

The author has something to say: Well, I continued to develop and found that there is nothing to say. In short, when I was young, even now, I always had some resistance to shrouds and shrouds. I felt inexplicably gloomy. Maybe I was born afraid of death. As long as the dead Dabian's are terrible.So the shroud terrifies me very much.Hmm... It's quite scary. Some friends may think that the development of the story is too fast and too jumpy, but don't worry... I will make the story clear gradually, of course, as long as you have patience.Um……
