Chapter 223 The furthest distance in the world
"Fox Window?" The proprietress recalled, "I've heard that when I was still in Yingcheng, I heard the old people who were enjoying the shade talk about this."
She stood up: "This should belong to the Buddhist culture in the southern border. My husband had a lot of books on Buddhism. Can you please come to the library and help me find them together?"
Jiang Tang sympathized with her: "Okay."
The library is behind a row of fences in the backyard. It is a classical style wooden house in the south. The wooden frames on the windows and doors are carved with fine patterns.
Pushing open the door, there are rows of neatly arranged bookshelves inside. The desktop bookshelves and corners in the room are very clean, and it can be seen that someone comes to clean them every day.
Feng Mian walked to the bookshelves, and found that there was no dust on these books, every row of bookshelves was clean, and the books were well kept, without folds or damp.
The proprietress cherishes the inheritance left by her husband very much.
Some of these books are written in the dialect of the southern border, and the rest are in the common language of the four regions.
The proprietress is looking for those dialect books by herself, please ask Feng Mian and Jiangtang to help her find the rest.
I don't know how long it took, but Feng Mian felt that they had to rummage through all the books here, and finally found the news about Fox's Window in a book on Buddhism in the Southern Border.
This word appears in a short story about anecdotes in the mountains.
It is about a monk who met a family of residents who were infested by evil spirits on his way out for fasting. Because that family provided the monk with fast food, the monk decided to help them.
The monk used the window of the fox to find the place where the evil spirit was, and drove away the evil spirit. The family was very grateful to the monk, so they recorded this story to remember the monk's kindness.
It is mentioned in the book that the window of the fox is a mudra of southern Buddhism, which can open a channel connecting the real world and "another world", allowing people to see through the disguises of monsters hidden in the real world.
Moreover, it is said that if the monsters lurking in the world realize that someone has discovered their true identity, they will lose their ability to cause trouble.
Feng Mian felt that the second point still needs to be studied. After all, the strange guys he met on the street were clearly seen by himself and Jiang Tang, but they didn't restrain themselves.
However, if you can see it, you can communicate. The proprietress seems to want to see what it is that has been haunting her for so long.
He glanced at the detailed notes on the gesture below his eyes.
Bring the middle fingers and ring fingers of both hands together, bend down and touch the thumbs, making a gesture representing "fox"; then turn your wrists inward and outward respectively, so that the little finger of one hand is against the other hand index finger.
Then spread the middle finger and ring finger, let them cooperate with the little finger to clamp the index finger of the other hand, and finally use the thumb to clasp the pad of the other middle finger and ring finger.
At this time, the gap formed by the crossing of the index finger and the ring finger is the window of the fox that allows evil spirits to have nowhere to hide.
He looked at the simple picture drawn in the book. The gesture in this picture was very similar to the eight trigrams finger of Dongjing Taoism.
It seems that all the traditional cultures within the Four Realms have something in common. The Fox Window in the South and the Eight Diagrams Finger in the East are both used to spy on evil spirits, and the postures of these two gestures are almost the same.
Feng Mian called Jiang Tang to tell the proprietress, and handed them the book: "This page records about Fox's Window."
They leaned over to the book and looked at the contents of the book carefully.
"First of all, go to the place where you often see evil spirits, then set up three incense sticks to light, then place melon and fruit tributes, and then use the fox window to open the passage to another world..."
The proprietress checked each word carefully: "The place where I often see evil spirits...it should be my bedroom. I only have that dream every time I sleep in the bedroom."
"I'm going to prepare some joss sticks." She looked at Jiang Tang, "Can you ask Juli to send some fruits to my bedroom?"
Jiang Tang agreed, and then she and the proprietress left the library and went separately to find incense sticks and fruits.
After preparing these things, the proprietress took a bath and changed clothes and sat on the tatami in front of the bedroom, Feng Mian and Jiang Tang sat opposite her, in case there were any accidents during the process.
For unknown reasons, Tachibana was sent by the proprietress to play with little Yuki.
The lights in the bedroom were turned off, only two white candles were lit.
Melon and fruit tributes were placed on the table, incense was lit, and curls of cigarettes floated in the air.
The proprietress made a series of actions in sequence according to the instructions in the book.
At this moment, Feng Mian suddenly saw a figure walking in through the closed door, there was no sound of footsteps, and he entered the room through the wooden door without hindrance.
The proprietress couldn't see the figure at all, and continued to move.
The man entered the room to sleep and realized that it wasn't that he couldn't remember the man's face, but that the man's face seemed to be covered with a layer of white mist, and he couldn't see his face clearly.
When I saw him in the elevator for the first time before, I didn't feel that there was anything wrong. It seemed that I was influenced by something unknowingly, which caused me to ignore the man's appearance inexplicably.
Only when I consciously try to see the man's face clearly, will I find that the man's face is blocked.
The proprietress finally made the last gesture. She looked out through the gap formed by the interlaced index finger and ring finger, and she turned her gaze.
When she saw the direction of the man through the gap, she suddenly stopped.
Feng Mian originally thought that the proprietress would be frightened, or even fainted.
But no, the proprietress just froze in place, and then two lines of tears flowed down from her eyes.
Tears flowed down her cheeks to get off work, where they merged and fell to the ground.
The proprietress couldn't stop crying. Suddenly, she swept the melons, fruits and tributes on the table to the ground, overturned the small table, and then extinguished the burning incense. She rushed forward like crazy.
"Don't go! Don't go!"
But when she let go of that gesture, only the familiar room was left in her field of vision, and the direction she was looking at just now was empty.
The proprietress hugged the air, as if she was holding some treasure: "Don't go, don't go... I didn't want to send you away, don't go..."
She broke down in sobs, and the expression on her face was extremely regretful.
Feng Mian saw that the man also squatted down, trying to hug the proprietress, but his outstretched hand passed through the proprietress' body, and both of them could only touch the air.
Even though they are close at hand, they cannot touch each other.
Feng Mian finally saw the man's face, a face full of pity and honesty, the man was looking at the proprietress in great pain.
He walked up to the lady boss: "Madam boss, he is looking at you."
The proprietress was a little taken aback, groping in the air: "Where? Where is it?"
"Right in front of you."
The man's body gradually disappeared, and he looked longingly at the proprietress sitting on the ground.
"He disappeared."
The proprietress burst into tears instantly.
