Liao Zhiyuan nodded deeply upon hearing this: "Brother Gang, we've only been apart for one night, why has your 'Spirit Platform Purple Fire' turned to ash?"
The "Lingtai Purple Fire" is the Yang Fire on our forehead, a term used in the new Bazi (Four Pillars of Destiny) system.
Another theory suggests that the purple fire at the Lingtai (spirit platform) represents a person's lifespan.
Once this flame becomes weak and ethereal, it signifies that the person's lifespan is nearing its end.
Upon hearing Liao Zhiyuan's explanation, Qi Zhigang was immediately shocked: "Huh?! No way!"
"I really didn't encounter anything strange, I just felt weak all over and extremely sleepy."
"I thought it was because he was tired from staying up all night with Grandpa yesterday..."
Just as Qi Zhigang was speaking, his father Qi Shan's voice suddenly came from afar: "Gangzi, Gangzi, come back quickly! Your second uncle seems to be dying!!"
"Huh?!" Upon hearing this, Qi Zhigang immediately got up and ran quickly towards his old family home.
Qi Zhigang's father had two brothers, and his father, Qi Shan, was the youngest.
His uncle died long ago, and it is said that his death was quite mysterious.
......
Because he was anxious, Qi Zhigang left in a hurry and didn't say much to Zhao Youliang and the other man.
Furthermore, Zhao Youliang and Liao Zhiyuan were not in the mood to choose gifts at this time.
Because they discovered that Qi Shan's "Lingtai Purple Fire" was also extremely weak, like a candle flickering in the wind.
"How could this happen? Could it be that some evil spirit has possessed their whole family?"
After muttering to himself unconsciously, Zhao Youliang immediately denied what he had said.
Because he did not find any evil aura on Qi Zhigang and his son, which means that their sudden reduction in lifespan was not related to anything unclean.
But this makes things even stranger:
Leaving aside Qi Shan, given Qi Zhigang's character, he would never do anything immoral or immoral, so how could he suddenly "shorten his lifespan"?
Besides, he's a doctor, the kind of good doctor who doesn't care about making money but only wants to cure every patient.
With this professional advantage, there's even less reason for such a situation to occur.
After discussing for a while, Zhao Youliang and Liao Zhiyuan still came to no conclusion, so they had no choice but to visit Old Liu first.
Because of their fathers' relationship, Liao Zhiyuan was considered the "grandson" of this master of paper-making, so they were especially close when they met.
After recounting the strange events that happened to the Qi family father and son, Old Liu couldn't figure out the reason for a while.
He only instructed Zhao Youliang and his companion: First, be careful of the walking corpses;
Secondly, if you want to save Qi Zhigang, it would be best to go to his home and take a look.
After all, there was the "suppressing the saint" incident first, and then the "gathering evil formation" incident later, Qi Zhigang's current situation is really dangerous.
......
Time flew by and night fell in the blink of an eye. Zhao Youliang brought Liao Zhiyuan to the barbecue stall to help out.
They had intended to visit Qi Zhigang's home, but after making a phone call, they learned that Qi Zhigang had accompanied his second uncle to the hospital.
It is said that Qi Zhigang's second uncle is seriously ill and is currently undergoing intensive care.
"Qi's second son is sick? He's even been hospitalized for emergency treatment?" Li Mao asked after Zhao Youliang hung up the phone.
"That shouldn't be the case!"
"Quantum, Zhiyuan, you two don't know, but Uncle Zhigang is in great health!"
"To put it simply, when he bullies his neighbors and curses in the street, his voice is louder than ours, even young people."
"Goodness, anyone who didn't know better would think he was shouting through a megaphone!"
Li Mao's words immediately resonated with the people eating barbecue around him, who were all clearly people who had been scolded by Qi Zhigang's second uncle.
However, these outside residents were kind-hearted; no one gloated, and no one cursed Qi Zhigang's second uncle.
I'm just lamenting that this town is getting more and more eerie; everyone should be careful...
Just as everyone was whispering among themselves, a scream came from afar.
The direction they were looking was the direction of Wu the carpenter's house.
"Oh no! Has something happened again?!"
Zhao Youliang and Liao Zhiyuan exchanged a glance and immediately followed the people eating barbecue towards Wu the carpenter's house.
Before they could reach her, a middle-aged woman ran towards them.
His face was deathly pale, and his expression was one of terror.
Upon seeing the crowd, he instantly collapsed to the ground, screaming in terror, "People are dead! More people are dead!"
"Old Wu's wife also committed suicide; she hanged herself while wearing a red dress!!"
"Is she trying to become a vengeful ghost and come back to take revenge on someone?!"
Now, let me explain to you, my dear readers, why wearing red clothes to commit suicide will turn you into a vengeful ghost.
In traditional Chinese culture, red represents happy occasions such as weddings.
Conversely, white is used to decorate funerals and to make mourning clothes, etc.
Therefore, clothing related to death should avoid red, a festive color.
According to folklore, if someone commits suicide while dressed in red, there will be no Black and White Impermanence to guide them, meaning that the ghost will never be reborn and will forever remain in the mortal world.
The ghosts of those who commit suicide are already filled with resentment, and the added consequence of never being able to be reincarnated... the outcome is predictable.
......
The town's police responded quickly, so quickly that they sealed off Old Wu's carpenter's house before Zhao Youliang and Liao Zhiyuan could even see the specific situation.
Among the police officers who responded to the call, Zhao Youliang saw a familiar figure—Police Officer Xiao Zhao.
Although he was puzzled as to why Zhao Youliang hadn't cooperated with the armed police in prison as agreed, he couldn't bring himself to ask under the current circumstances.
He could only signal to Officer Zhao with his eyes, telling him to be careful.
After all, that "person" dragging the sack had been bothering him the whole time.
From afar, police officer Xiao Zhao clearly understood Zhao Youliang's meaning and nodded repeatedly with a mournful face.
Shortly after Zhao Youliang returned to the barbecue restaurant, he was greeted by Director Zhou of the Urban Management Bureau and a group of staff members.
"Quantum, same old rules: based on our meal allowance standard, the average cost per person is forty."
"We brought our own alcohol!"
As Zhao Youliang repeatedly agreed, Director Zhou of the Urban Management Office spoke up again.
"Isn't Quantum a bit eerie? Today, when we went to level a mass grave, we actually dug up more than a hundred sets of human bones in a big pit."
"These bones are missing limbs, as if they've been gnawed on by something."
"Many of the bones still have teeth marks on them!"
After Director Zhou finished speaking, one of the team members chimed in, "Not only bones, but they also dug up a lot of guns!"
"After the police came and examined it, they said it was a 'Type 9, Liaoning 13 rifle,' an antique!"
9. The Liaoning Type 13 rifle was a weapon used during the warlord era in my country.
The Fengtian Army's arsenal developed a domestically produced rifle based on the German Mauser 98/22 rifle and the Japanese Type 38 rifle.
It was finalized in 1924, which was also the thirteenth year of the Republic of China, and the rifle was designated as the Liaoning Type 13 Rifle.
Because the head of the arsenal at the time was Han Linchun, the rifle was also known as "Made by Han Linchun" and "Han's Type 79 Rifle".
