Chapter Twenty-Eight: A Commission
The girl was frightened, and the dozen or so slugs that fell from her body frightened her a lot. Chen Muqing brought over a cup of tea at the right time, and then asked her to go to the balcony to blow the wind.
I walked to the altar and took out three sticks of incense and lit them and inserted them into the censer. Since I apprenticed to the Heavenly Master, I have been worshipping the ancestral Heavenly Master Zhang Daoling at the request of my grandfather, in fact, in addition to Zhang Tianshi, there are a large number of gods that need to be worshipped, but the conditions are limited, and I can only retreat to the second.
As the three sticks of incense burned slowly, the smell of the incense overshadowed the fishy stench emitted by the slug after it died. The girl also walked back from the balcony, calmed down, and then, after introducing herself to each other, she told us about some strange things that had happened to her recently.
The girl's name is Ah Xiu, she is also studying at the university we attended, and she rented a small single room near the school to live, and she has a roommate, but she doesn't usually see anyone.
A few days after she moved in, she began to feel unwell, and she always felt sticky and slippery in her sleep, but every time she woke up, there was nothing.
This gradually affected her sleep, making her unable to fall into a deep sleep, so much so that she was in a trance during class.
After a week of this, something even more terrible happened. However, when talking about this, the girl's face blushed, and it took a while to say that her private parts actually had a layer of painless red spots.
She was startled when she took a shower and rushed to the hospital for a check-up, but nothing was detected. After a few more days, she became more and more scared, she couldn't eat or sleep, and if the doctor hadn't said it was okay, she was afraid that she had contracted something.
At this time, I heard about a 'heavenly master' among my classmates, and I suspected that I might have caused some 'dirty things', so I came to me with the mentality of trying it out.
After hearing this, the tea in my hand also bottomed out, chewing and drinking the tea leaves in my mouth, I said, "When you just came in, I smelled a very fishy smell." I think that 80% of what happens to you has to do with where you live. ”
Ah Xiu asked nervously, "What should I do then? Then I'm not going to move out. ”
I shook my head and said, "That's... Don't worry, if you move now, won't you be able to get back the house deposit? So, you give you something, you go back and stick it on the door, if it's okay, if it's okay, if it's okay, come back tomorrow. ”
Ah Xiu thanked him repeatedly, and his expression was relieved. I got up and went to the altar, took out a piece of yellow paper from the drawer, dipped my brush in cinnabar, held my breath and wrote down a talisman.
Then he bowed three times to the portrait of Zhang Tianshi, took out his private seal, and printed it on the yellow symbol.
Ah Xiu just wanted to take the talisman, but I raised the yellow talisman and said, "One hundred, no credit." ”
She didn't seem to expect me to ask for money, and she was stunned for a moment. Chen Muqing on the side rolled her eyes, took out her wallet, took out a red banknote and handed it to me: "I'll give it for her." ”
"Okay, it's the same for whoever comes out. The corners of my mouth twitched, and I exchanged the yellow charm for the banknotes. Then sit back on the sofa and read my "Zhongge Mantra", Ah Xiu and Chen Muqing said something again, and then Chen Muqing sent Ah Xiu out of the door and turned back.
"What talisman did you give her?" asked Chen Muqing.
I shook the hundred yuan in my hand and said interestingly: "I thought you would ask for the money back, in addition, I gave her the Xingzhu Town Mansion Talisman and invited the Mao Sun Chicken." ”
"I know you have to take cause and effect in doing this. Chen Muqing packed up the tea set, and after returning from putting things away, she asked again, "Just by listening to her, you can be sure that the town house charm is useful?"
"I can't be sure, it's actually a psychological comfort for her, and another deterrent. I sat up straight and said, "Wait, she'll be back tomorrow." When the time comes, Brother Aqing, you will propose to accompany her, and then go to her house to see what is going on. ”
"Then why don't you say it today?" Chen Muqing said suspiciously, "I don't think Ah Xiu should mind if we go over." ”
I shook my head and said, "It's useless to go in the morning, and besides, you still want two big men to spend the night in one of her girls' rooms?"
Chen Muqing was said by me like this, and she had nothing to say. Actually, I have some other speculations in my mind, but there is no need to talk to him now.
Chen Muqing has a steady personality and acts delicately. The only drawback is that he is too honest and a good person. Since it was he who brought this cause and effect, I had to think of a way for him anyway.
At five or six o'clock in the afternoon, I took a cloth bag and went out to get some things ready. By the time I came back, it was already a sparse moon, and it was nearly three watches at night.
Chen Muqing saw that I was fine when I went out, and when I came back, I was also puzzled by the weeds and dead leaves, so she asked me where I went to drill the grove.
I rolled my eyes, took out a piece of bamboo from the cloth bag, handed it to him, and said, "You take this thing with you, remember, don't open it regardless of the sound coming from inside." Tomorrow Ah Xiu comes to you, and you take this to her house. ”
Chen Muqing was stunned by my mysterious words, and asked directly: "What is this? ”
I had the intention to tease him, because of what happened to Ah Xiu, I probably already have eyebrows in my heart.
"Hehe, it's a damn thing. If you believe in me, you can do it, and what is fatal can also save lives. ”
Chen Muqing's expression froze for a moment, looked at the sleeve suspiciously, looked at me a few more times, said 'sick', and then took the bamboo tube back.
In fact, according to my description, where do ordinary people dare to accept it after hearing it? That is, Chen Muqing knew that I would not harm him, so he magnified his courage.
The next day, as I expected, Ah Xiu came again, crying that although she had nothing to do last night, when she woke up, the Star Town Mansion Talisman had been destroyed!
Chen Muqing was also taken aback, but she didn't forget to ask to go to Ah Xiu's house to help her take a look at it at the right time, as I said before. Ah Xiu hesitated for a moment, and then agreed to this request a little shyly.
The next thing was relayed to me by Chen Muqing after the incident.
said that they returned to Ah Xiu's rental house from the academy after class together, and the girl's room was very tidy, but as soon as Chen Muqing walked in, she couldn't help but feel a very uncomfortable feeling of dampness.
His eyes could see yin and yang, and although he didn't see any ghosts at this time, he could see traces on the walls, floors, and even beds in the room that seemed to have been dragged by something.
And these traces can only be seen by his yin and yang eyes, ordinary people can't see them, they can only see Ah Xiu's clean and tidy room.
Chen Muqing also saw the 'Star Town Mansion Talisman' posted behind the door, and when she saw it, it was also as if it had been pressed by something, and she could see some black marks, and the talisman had become fragmented.
Thinking that he was wasted like this with a hundred yuan, Chen Muqing was a little distressed. However, what is happening now makes him feel that Ah Xiu is indeed in danger.
Chen Muqing didn't tell Ah Xiu what he saw, because he didn't want too many people to know about this kind of thing. He comforted Ah Xiu first, then went to open the window for gout, and took out the sleeve I gave him and put it on the table.
There was a boy with him, and Ah Xiu's mood calmed down.
It was night, and nothing strange had happened for a few hours. Chen Muqing made a bunk in the room, and Ah Xiu slept on the bed.
The two chatted for a while, and suddenly Chen Muqing heard the sound of cheering and knocking in the bamboo tube.
The sound made people feel creepy in the quiet room, Chen Muqing sat up in shock, the voice became louder and louder, as if something was struggling to figure it out.
Chen Muqing felt that the cold hair stood up, and while blaming me for not telling him what was inside, she jumped on the bed to comfort Ah Xiu, who was also stunned.
At this moment, there was a clattering sound from the door of the room. Immediately afterwards, there was a very sweet smell in the room, and when they smelled the smell, Chen Muqing and Ah Xiu were both in a trance, and fatigue kept coming.
"Bang!
The sound in the bamboo tube became louder, and the sleeve standing on the edge of the table snapped and fell to the floor.
Chen Muqing and Ah Xiu couldn't help but close their eyes, only to hear a rustling sound in their ears, and then a very disgusting stench gradually penetrated into their noses.
Faintly, he seemed to hear a short cry of 'chirp-thump-', followed by the sound of something crawling, and finally it stopped abruptly, and the sound of the bamboo tube also stopped, and everything became silent.
