Chapter 154, The Old Man and the Little Ghost
"Fatty, did you hear the voice just now?"
I asked.
"It seems to be a little, but I didn't hear it clearly, I thought it was the sound of the wind. ”
Fat people are not as inspired as me, and it is normal to hear clearly.
"I heard a child's voice, go, let's go and have a look. ”
I've heard of a strange thing called a baby. Even after the death of some children, their souls did not enter the underworld, but they did not become evil ghosts, but only wandered in the world in the form of lonely souls. They want to be loved, so they take the courage to whisper a word in their ear when they meet someone they like. Hopefully they will hear, and find them and take them home. In fact, this seems unlikely to happen to me, because I have already entered this profession and I have encountered all the ghosts, only those who are so angry that they have almost reached the level of Brahmana ghosts are possible to communicate with normal humans, ordinary evil ghosts can't do it, let alone lonely ghosts.
But just now my Tinga and your voice doesn't seem to be fake, is it a special case?
The fat man and I walked up to the man in the black cloak, and I couldn't see his face clearly, but I could see some dirty gray hair, which was probably an old man.
On the cloth in front of it are some small dolls, mostly made of wood, estimated to be about ten centimeters high, look very small and very good workmanship, each puppet has completely different facial features, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a work of art.
If you look at it by ordinary people, you may think that these are ordinary handicrafts, which are sold in many small towns, and some people buy them at home and put them on the table as ornaments. But these puppets fall into my eyes, but it's a different story. There is an obvious yin aura lingering above these puppets, and it is good to be far away, but now that they are closer, they can see more clearly.
"Do you want to buy it? a thousand dollars a piece. ”
The old man said in a hoarse voice, but the fat man and I were not surprised at all, if these are handicrafts, then a thousand yuan is really scary, but if these are other things, some things I imagined, the price of a thousand yuan is not expensive.
"Old man, what are you selling?"
I asked with a smile.
"Don't you see that?"
The old man asked me rhetorically, and I paused, and the fat man behind me came over and said: "Old man, although we think that the things you sell are a little strange, but to be honest, we don't know what these things are, after all, they are also a thousand yuan a piece, so you don't introduce them?"
The old man who bowed his head smiled gloomily, but did not speak, I frowned, pulled the fat man back a few steps, and whispered, "She is selling ghosts." ”
The fat man was stunned, blinking at me, not understanding the meaning of my words.
In fact, it's no wonder that the fat man doesn't know, a few decades ago, when the reform and opening up was not yet ten years old, there were few people in China who knew that the little ghosts were pitiful. Can not be compared with the present, the so-called imps are divided into two kinds, one is Thailand and Vietnam with a dead baby or the child's soul refining a kind of magic weapon, carrying the soul of the child, binding the child's soul, the common people raise them, they take blessings from the outside to repay the favor, it is said that the good people raised by the imp continue to obtain the source of blessings, and the career and life are thriving. Another kind of imp is the paper talisman ghost used by Gu Yu of Xuanming Temple before, with different carriers and different functions. Most of the paper talisman imps are caught by the imps who have wandered in the world and have turned into ghosts, and seal them in the paper talismans for their own use.
But at the end of the day, neither of these things is the right way, and it's very evil.
I briefly explained to the fat man, he stared at me and said, "Is this the same as Gu Yu's?"
"This is a typical Thai and Vietnamese ghost method, which is different from Gu Yu. But I think the resentment is so heavy, I'm afraid it's not good. Let's have more than one thing and one less thing, let's go. ”
I didn't plan to pay for the thousand, so I didn't want to stay any longer and prepared to leave.
He turned back to the old man and said, "You set up a stall here, but you have nothing to do with me, so you will leave." But before leaving, I still want to say that the things you sell are not very good, and I hope you will cherish them a lot. ”
After speaking, he pulled the fat man to leave, but he didn't expect the old man behind him to suddenly smile gloomily and said, "I set up a stall here to wait for you." Isn't it worth a thousand dollars for a life?"
I was pulling the fat man to leave, but I didn't think that as soon as I heard his words, the fat man immediately stopped and turned around and asked, "What do you mean by a thousand yuan for a life?"
"Hehe, then you have to ask the little brother next to you, there is still a year to live, it's not easy to mix. ”
He seemed to see that there was something wrong with my body, and when he said this, the fat man refused to leave, pulled me back, and asked solemnly, "Do you know that my friend can only live for a year?"
"I can see, I don't need to know. ”
He pointed at me.
"Can you see my Shouyuan?"
It's not that I've never heard of this kind of thing, but I mentioned it before that if you cultivate the Heavenly Eye, you can see a lot of strange things that you can't usually see, such as whether a person is followed by ghosts, or whether the good fortune on your body is not very weak. What's more, if you cultivate the Heavenly Eye to a certain depth, you can not only see gods and ghosts, but also see the three lights of people's blessings and longevity, which can be described as extremely magical.
"Have you ever cultivated the Heavenly Eye?"
I asked.
"Walking on the rivers and lakes, you always have to learn some skills. The longevity on your head is insufficient, and it is dim and black, indicating that the limit is approaching, but your qi is long and your body is also very tough. This means that you are suffering from a spell or a strange illness, if the light of an ordinary old man's life is so terrifying, then there is no way to undo it. But you are different, you still have a chance to save your life. ”
With that, she stretched out her hand, a hand as terrible as dry bones, the skin on the surface of which was stuck to the back of the hand like a mummy, the nails were sharp and long, the complexion was black, and the folds were like the bark of a tree.
"My doll here can help you prevent this disaster, although it may not be able to make up for all your lifespan, but it is also a good thing to increase your life for a few more years. Hehe......"
With that, he began to laugh gloomily again.
"Fatty, let's go. ”
I don't have much interest in this kind of charlatan, and my body is not clear? Even Senior Han said that he couldn't help me, how could he have such good luck, and he could help me by meeting a random person on the road? This person gave me the feeling that he was like those people who used sugar water to pretend to be a miracle medicine to cheat everywhere, and what he said was very mysterious, but in fact, he just wanted to circle the money in your pocket.
"Can you really help my friend? really?"
The fat man asked in surprise.
"Believe it or not to believe. ”
Sure enough, it's no different from a charlatan, it's irresponsible, but it can arouse the curiosity in normal people, if you really have a disease, maybe you will really be deceived by her words.
"Fatty, let's go. ”
I dragged him, but the fat man stared at the puppet in front of him, did not move for a long time, and after a long time said, "If I buy your puppet, you must promise to save my friend! ”
"No one in the whole town needs these things, and I'm here for him, do you think you can save them?"
He said something like this again, I dragged the fat man out, and whispered: "Don't spend money in vain, I know my body, let's go back first." ”
But I didn't expect that at this moment, the fat man suddenly shook off my hand, and then took out a stack of ten yuan yuan from his arms, stuffed it, and said, "I'll buy it!"
With a resolute tone, why did the fat man, who usually does business calmly, suddenly seem to be crazy this time? Could it be that he was controlled by some evil magic?
"What are you doing?"
I asked, puzzled.
"This is what I should ask you, what do you want to do!"
The fat man actually asked me in turn, and I was completely confused.
"You think I can't see it, you are just a broken jar, anyway, Senior Han said there is no way, anyway, Mr. Xu and Mr. Tang didn't say they could help you. So you just give up, you just want to die in a year! Isn't that a thousand dollars? A thousand dollars can save your life, isn't it worth it?"
The fat man reprimanded me with a slap in the face.
