Chapter 008: Calculating Ghostly Fate
Hearing me say this, the ghost let out two "woo woo" sounds: "My poor little son, after I grow old, I have always lived with him. Although my eldest son and eldest daughter are also good to me, they both work in distant places and can rarely accompany me..."
At this thought, a chill ran down my spine
I asked him what he had just recited, and he said it was a soul-requiem spell, which can prevent the spirits in the house from being disturbed
The area between his eyes, known as the "Palace of Descendants," has the least amount of negative energy, indicating that his "Blessings of Descendants" are quite good. During his lifetime, his descendants were all very filial to him. Given this, what unfulfilled wishes could he possibly have?
I carefully examined his face, and the right side, the "Chou" position, has the heaviest negative energy, indicating a deathly appearance. According to the calculations based on the annual fortune, the "Chou" position corresponds to the years of 78 and 79, which means he may die at the age of 78 or 79
Moreover, based on this changing line, I can also discern that someone in this family is not in good health, and the reason they are staying at someone else's home is to recuperate.
At this moment, I am able to clearly see the appearance of this ghost; it is not as frightening as I had imagined. Apart from its transparent body, its facial structure is the same as that of a normal person, without any distortions or missing features as I had envisioned.
At the same time, he slowly turned his head to look behind him
However, this range is still somewhat broad. If I only provide this information for Ning Haoyu to find, he will definitely complain vocally
We went around to the other side and entered the courtyard through the main gate. Wang Junhui stopped in front of my grandfather's door. I asked him what was wrong, and he glanced into the room and said, "It's nothing."
After hanging up the phone, I said, "Please ask Wang Junhui to come to my house for a visit." He thought for a moment and nodded in agreement. As night fell, the mosquitoes at the entrance of the shop became numerous, and if we continued to stand here, we would just be feeding the mosquitoes.
I closed the door of the small shop and took a deep breath
Without waiting for me to ask further, Wang Junhui suddenly said, "Your grandfather is a remarkable person"
Wuwu
Follow me, slowly turn around, and no matter what you see in a moment, do not shout! Wang Junhui released my arm and then slowly began to turn around
I held my breath, somewhat afraid to search for where that ghost was. Wang Junhui held a candle in one hand and changed his hand gestures with the other, then pointed at the candle flame.
Then a series of sounds emerged from the ghost's mouth, which ordinary people could not comprehend; however, these sounds transformed into coherent phrases as they reached my ears
At the same time, there has always been a lingering aura of negativity in his "Palace of Illness," which indicates that he died due to an "evil disease"
He then lit a candle, and the entire room was illuminated. Moreover, the shadows of Wang Junhui and I began to sway on the wall along with the flickering flame in his hand
Now that I have Wang Junhui's protective magic, I can temporarily listen to ghost stories with peace of mind
I also hurriedly turned my body to follow his rhythm
As I unlocked the door, Wang Junhui beside me began to buzz with chatter, and only after that did he allow me to push the door open
It is a "Beneficial Hexagram," and calculating the number of changing lines can be somewhat challenging. With the division of yin and yang, it is already not easy to deduce the original hexagram, and further deducing the changing lines requires even sharper insight to discern the variations in the life energy of the examined gates.
I clearly saw him looking at my grandfather's room with great surprise, could it be that something happened in there
Listen to me finish speaking, Wang Junhui has not said a word yet, but that ghost has started to move. This time, his lower body has also straightened up, and I see that he is finally not so awkward anymore
After a moment, I softly said, "Old man, could you please turn around so that I may take a look at you? I need to find the location of your family through your life energy."
I felt somewhat disappointed after receiving the divination. Wang Junhui asked me how it went, and I recounted my divination results in detail.
Wang Junhui buzzed on for a while, then casually pointed at my spiritual gate and said: "I will first stabilize your mind, so that you won't be confused after hearing too many ghost stories later."
Don't scare him? He has already scared me!
Upon entering my room, I brewed a pot of tea for Wang Junhui. This habit of drinking tea was learned from my grandfather, so I always keep tea leaves at home. However, given my circumstances, I cannot afford any fine tea, just the ordinary Tieguanyin.
As soon as this ghost moved, I was startled, and Wang Junhui pressed down on me, saying: "Don't be afraid, he has something to say to you"
With my current ability in "divination," I can only deduce up to this point
I finally let out a slight sigh and said, "Daoist Wang, what are you doing? Once you close the door, it's pitch dark in here."
As soon as I saw that this person was about to launch into a lengthy discourse, I interrupted, saying: "First, tell me, do you have any relatives in the south of the city who can temporarily accommodate your little son's family while we locate him? After that, you can discuss the details further."
I understand, he thought of speaking to me only after hearing my recent divination interpretation
After the door was opened, I reached out to turn on the light, but was stopped by Wang Junhui: "You can't turn on the light; this ghost is not of a high rank and is afraid of light. If you turn on the light, it will scare him."
According to the interpretation of the hexagram, this family from mhetushu.com resides in the home of good people, which means they are living in someone else's house, most likely that of relatives or friends, and certainly not in a hotel or similar establishment
Before I could turn my head, Wang Junhui suddenly grabbed my arm and said: "Don't rush, turn around slowly, he is right behind us, don't scare him."
The ghost paused for a moment, then provided me with an address, claiming it was his sister's home, which is also the aunt of his youngest son. They usually have a close relationship, and their family is well-off, living in a large house. The ghost mentioned that if his youngest son were in the southern part of the city, he would definitely have gone there
Wang Junhui said, "How can I clearly see his features without turning on the light? How can I discern the aura of fate surrounding him?"
The ghost asked me: "Is my son ill? How is his health?"
It is five, the number of the changing line of ninety-five
If I had not known that he was Master Wang, I would have probably punched him long ago
The cycle of Yin energy, in accordance with the principles of fate, is represented by Yang lines, with the number of changing lines arranged according to the life energy, namely 9, 3, 5
I strive to calm my mind, and then I continuously use my hands to stroke my chest, trying to make my breathing smoother.
Then I heard Wang Junhui opening his briefcase in the darkness. After a while, with a "click," he lit a lighter beside me. The flame illuminated his face, which appeared pale and somewhat frightening.
The writing desk was right in front of me and Wang Junhui, yet I did not see that ghost
I told him: "There is no need to worry, he did not go to the hospital, but rather to the homes of relatives and friends to recuperate, indicating that the issue is not serious. It is very likely just a mental issue, such as struggling to come to terms with your passing and similar matters."
Talking to a ghost with a book, this is still the first time in my life, so the more I speak, the faster my heart beats, fearing that he might suddenly turn around and reveal a terrifying face to scare me, or that he might suddenly pounce on me.
Thump, thump ... ...
This really scared me quite a bit, this guy must be deliberately trying to frighten me!
I nodded and edited a text message to send the address to Ning Haoyu, then I specifically made a phone call to repeat it. Upon hearing me state the detailed address, Ning Haoyu exclaimed, "Are you really that amazing?"
Wang Junhui explained: "There is a type of light that ghosts are not afraid of, and that is the light of incense candles. I will light a candle now, and you can use this candle to see him."
His turning motion was quite strange, and I always felt that something was off. After observing for a moment, I realized that he had only turned his upper body while his lower body remained facing away from us
I forced myself to calm down and asked the ghost what it wanted to say
The ghost respectfully nodded at Wang Junhui
When we turned back, we saw a translucent black shadow standing with its back to us, less than one meter away, and this shadow was even closer to me.
Based on the analysis of the命气 in conjunction with the hexagram and changing lines, it can be inferred that their residence is likely located within a certain community in the southern part of the city
My heart raced suddenly as Wang Junhui gently pressed a finger gesture on my back and whispered, "Don't be afraid, I am here, he cannot harm you. You can communicate with him now, remember to take it slow, proceed step by step, and do not startle him."
If it were not for Wang Junhui beside me, I fear I would have long since run out of this room, calling and jumping in panic
I said with a bitter smile: "What the hell am I? This is what that ghost said by itself, it scared me to death just now. Alright, enough nonsense, you go find someone first www.hetushu.com, once you find someone, we will discuss it in detail when you return."
The ghost, upon hearing my words, slightly trembled its transparent body and then slowly turned around.
Then the two of us exited my small shop, after which Wang Junhui extinguished the candle in his hand
While I was speaking, I suddenly heard the door of this small shop creak shut, which startled me greatly, almost making me cry out. When I turned around, I found that it was Wang Junhui who had closed the door.
In an instant, the candlelight seemed to possess a spirit of its own, beginning to tilt away from us. Could it be suggesting that the ghost is right behind us
Wang Junhui sat down, took a few sips of tea, and asked me: "Did you learn the skill of reading fortunes for ghosts from your grandfather as well? Your name is Li Chuyi, right? Is your grandfather named Li Nanshan, the renowned master known as 'Divine Fortune Teller' back in the day?"
I continuously observed the weak yin energy of his descendants' palace as it rotated in various directions, while simultaneously beginning to arrange hexagrams in my mind using numbers, repeating this process. Once I grasped the underlying patterns, the numbers in my mind also formed the primary hexagram of the matters I wished to understand.
Unknowingly, I am already drenched in sweat
You speak! I said to that ghost.
My grandfather once said that if one hears ghosts speaking, one must quickly seal off the auditory orifice; otherwise, if one listens to ghostly words too much, one will come to "believe" in them, and even become obsessed, at which point one will be controlled by the ghosts
Wang Junhui said beside him: "Send the address to your friend, it is best to resolve this matter in the evening, as it is difficult to handle during the day"
Having obtained the address, I no longer wish to waste words with this ghost and directly informed Wang Junhui. Wang Junhui then muttered a couple of times and said to the ghost: "You stay here and wait, do not cause any trouble, otherwise do not blame me for being impolite."
