Hu Zongren didn't speak at first, so I asked again. Hu Zongren took his feet off the window, then stretched out his right hand to roll up the sleeve of his left hand, and then unbuttoned the wrist of the shirt inside.
He stretched out his hand in front of me. Since I was driving and on the way down the mountain, when Hu Zongren's hand stretched out, I glanced at it with the corner of my glasses out of habit. This time, I was surprised.
So I didn't care that neither of us had fastened our seat belts, nor did I care that the road itself was very narrow. I hurriedly stepped on the brakes and parked the car on the side of the road. I must admit that I rarely stop.
It was so ugly. After I pulled the handbrake, I grabbed Hu Zongren's hand and asked him what was going on?
On Hu Zongren's left wrist, near the two nut bones, there were three slender black marks with a sharp top. The black mark was very similar to the Baji mark that appeared on his body earlier, but it was smaller than the Baji mark.
The extreme mark is black with red in it, which is darker. On the inside of Hu Zongren's wrist, there are black marks about three fingers wide, connected into one piece, much like a whole birthmark, and on the back of the wrist, there are three marks on the left and right.
The mark was the same as a ghost scratching me many years ago, so I could recognize it at a glance. It was a fingerprint scratched by a ghost.
Judging from the size of the handprint, it seems to be the hand of a child, but a person has 5 fingers. If the thumb is removed when grasping, there should be at least four, but there are only three on Hu Zongren's wrist. Look.
It looked like a child with only three fingers. He grabbed Hu Zongren's wrist from the left and right sides respectively, and grabbed the mark. Hu Zongren smiled bitterly and said, how do I know what is going on? I know that group of people.
The bastard won't let me go so easily.
I asked Hu Zongren, how long has this situation been present for you, and why didn’t you say anything? Hu Zongren said that he discovered it when he woke up on the third morning after we last handled the case. That’s why,
I scolded Zhao Jing on the phone, using all the curse words, saying that the Xuanyuan Society did not keep their word and that when they were approaching the last few cases, they came to do evil things. This is not the behavior of Jianghu children. Hu Zongren said to me
Said, why do you think Zhao Jing went back to their Xuanyuan Club? Was it because she was scolded by me and didn't dare to meet with us?
I scolded Hu Zongren and said, why didn't you tell me these things earlier and what symptoms you have? Hu Zongren began to say impatiently again, don't worry so much. I know almost everything you know. If
If we can take precautions, we don’t have to worry about it now. He told me that when he woke up that morning, he didn’t realize it at first. It was only when he looked in the mirror while washing his face that he realized something was wrong with his hands. But he saw
Fu Yunni's attitude seemed to be that she was not aware of this incident, so he kept it concealed for those few days. Hu Zongren said that he didn't feel it at all at first, but after all, it appeared suddenly, and it was obviously a ghost arrest.
The marks on his hands were still fine when he went to bed the first night, which only means that these marks appeared overnight, which means that when he was sleeping soundly that night, there was a ghost.
Next to him, he grabbed his hand.
Hu Zongren also told me that there was nothing unusual about his body in the first two days, but on the second night after the mark appeared, he asked Fu Yunni to go to bed first, intending to hide the mark before going to bed.
At this time, my wrist began to feel a dull pain. He told me that it was not a very painful kind, but a kind of soreness, as if something was constantly expanding outside my flesh, and it was not persistent.
Yes, but it comes in waves. Every time there is pain, the tendons in his hand twitch. Hu Zongren said with a wry smile, you also know that the tendons and blood vessels in the left hand can connect to the heart. Every time there is pain,
, my heart throbbed once. And the situation became more and more serious. Within a few days, every time this feeling appeared, I would inevitably feel nervous, but I didn’t want to be ignored by the people around me.
He found out, so he kept holding it in. And the most terrifying thing was that his hands began to tremble.
I have come into contact with some people whose hands tremble, but they have either done bad things and been caught, or they suffer from diseases such as Parkinson's syndrome. Although we have encountered many cases of ghosts scratching people,
, but most of them are just bruises or redness, and people themselves do not experience this kind of swelling and pain. Even the one I encountered a few years ago was just a mark, and there was no very painful feeling.
.
Hu Zongren told me that when he scolded Zhao Jing that day, it sounded like Zhao Jing did not know about it, and Zhao Jing told Hu Zongren that she would go back to Xuanyuan Club to find out about it and see if it was true.
It wasn't their people who did it. But Hu Zongren had such a bad temper that he would curse people randomly when he said a few wrong words. Under the circumstances at that time, Hu Zongren didn't bother to care so much. He insisted that it was people from the Xuanyuan Society who did it.
, as for whether Zhao Jing knew about it or not, it seems not that important. Hu Zongren also told me, do you think our case this time was really transferred to us by Zhao Jing? Since Zhao Jing went to Chengdu, this time a few days ago
The case was handed over to me. It was the victim who called me directly. I asked Hu Zongren, are you saying that from that day on, you and Zhao Jing have no contact, right? Hu Zongren nodded.
, and he told me, you remember when we met earlier today, you asked me why Zhao Jing didn’t come, I said she went to Chengdu, and you said that 80% of the time, you were planning how to deal with us. I really felt that
I feel so sad. Hu Zongren paused and said, That's why I tell you, if they really want to continue to deal with us, I can only fight them desperately.
I asked Hu Zongren, what should you do with your hands now? You can't just leave them alone. What if it gets worse? Hu Zongren didn't speak, just shook his head, and then sighed. I know Hu Zongren
It had been a long time. During this period, he was acting crazy all day long, as if he didn't need to worry about many things, so the times I saw him sigh were very few. So I said to Hu Zongren, how about this?
I guess none of us can tell what exactly is going on with your mark. Let’s first think of a way to suppress the swelling and pain in your wrist. Hu Zongren asked me, how to suppress it? I said, we have nothing to do, so we have to
Ask for help from those who have the means. Hu Zongren said, you said to go to Granny Huang, but no, she is Fu Yunni’s godmother, and Fu Yunni will find out about this sooner or later. I said, let’s go to Situ
.
So when we rushed to Situ's house that day, it was already dark. Situ was well-informed, but he seemed a little confused about the thing on Hu Zongren's wrist. He asked Hu Zongren almost the same question as me,
So after briefly talking to Situ about the situation, Situ told us that we need to completely eradicate this thing. I'm afraid we can't find the root cause yet, but I can teach you a method. You can match your own Taoist cultivation level every day.
Suppression. As for what this is specifically, you have to give me more time to understand and investigate. At the moment, this seems to be the most feasible method. So Master Situ taught Hu Zongren a formula and asked him to do it every morning and evening.
Recited three times to suppress the things in the body. Because it is obvious that the things left by the ghost are already in Hu Zongren's body. Situ also told Hu Zongren that every three days, he would
Prick a small needle at the black mark, let out a few drops of blood, and carefully observe whether the blood is black or red. Situ concluded that if your black blood doesn't stop one day, it means you are still being restrained.
After Hu Zongren memorized it, he smiled bitterly and said to Situ, "Old man, this time I am really bad. You have traveled all over the world in your life and made more enemies than me. I hate myself for not having such advanced skills as you."
He was bullied every time. Master Tiesongzi, who had been silent for a long time, walked up to Hu Zongren, patted his shoulder and said, kid, don’t be afraid, what matters between you two is our matter. One year ago
We were comrades-in-arms and we still are.
Hu Zongren was very touched by Master Tiesongzi's words. After thanking him again and again, we left Situ's house. Before leaving, Situ told us that during these days, you should do whatever you are supposed to do. Don't hide. The more you welcome us,
The more difficult it is, the more pressure it will put on the people who want to harm you, and it will also buy us more time.
I sent Hu Zongren home that night, and before I got off the bus, he told me not to let Sister Cai know about this matter. She and Fu Yunni are best friends, so I can't say it out loud that day. I agreed to him, and
Tell him that he must exercise restraint according to Situ's method.
In the following days, I often sent messages to Hu Zongren to understand the situation. Hu Zongren said that Situ's method was very effective and that he seemed to have suppressed it, but it was not eradicated. A few days later, he called me again.
I called and said that a new case was called. It was still not Zhao Jing who notified me. I just said that she had something fishy. I asked Hu Zongren what the case was, and Hu Zongren said, that place is not far from me, so you don’t have to
He came to pick me up. I just took a taxi there and it was just across the bridge. Of course I know where the place he mentioned is. For the sake of protecting the privacy of my employer, I won’t say where it is publicly. I won’t even say where it is.
Can you tell me which district it is.
I asked Hu Zongren, didn't the other party tell you on the phone what we were going to do? Hu Zongren started laughing as hard as ever and said, "We can talk to people in person about the specific things when the time comes. I only know that this time
