The prison has completely changed, with no release time and more than double the number of guards. The prison guards began to get nervous, and the atmosphere in the entire cell was solemn as if it was about to freeze.

"I just heard that another felony died in the old area last night, plus the previous deaths, there are more than ten, and the investigation has begun, but are we okay? ”

Although Brick always bragged in front of me that he was not afraid of heaven and earth, but when this kind of thing happened, his courage was not fat enough.

"What do the rats say, can you get cinnabar?"

It's been two days, but the mouse hasn't replied for a long time, which makes me feel a little bottomless.

"I haven't had any wind lately, so I'll ask when I'm eating. ”

In the cafeteria, the prison guards patrolled all around, and I and the bricks deliberately lined up behind the rats, and eating in the number was not as free as in the American videotapes, and you were like entering a restaurant with your lunch box, and you could sit wherever you wanted. The unification is all militarized queues in the cafeteria, and the people in line sit in a row to eat.

But if it is placed in normal times, people who are better mixed like rats can carry the lunch box around, but now is an extraordinary time, and no one pays attention to that bit of favor.

"Mouse, did you get cinnabar?"

Brick asked.

The mouse lowered his head and said vaguely while eating: "I got it, but not much, just a small box." ”

After speaking, he took out a small box from his crotch and stuffed it into the palm of the brick, never thinking that this small action would be watched by the prison guard next to him!

"Hey, what are you doing?

This prison guard looked relatively young, probably a newcomer for a long time, and he didn't know about mice and bricks, so he didn't give face, and grabbed the brick's arm after coming over.

"Give me face, I didn't do anything bad, just let them help me bring a pack of cigarettes. ”

The brick is also an old oilman, raised his eyebrows, and said with some displeasure.

"You're breaking the rules, hand over your things!"

The young prison guard was holding the brick's hand, and the brick had a bad temper, and at this moment his eyes widened, and he shouted: "Fuck, I won't fucking hand it over! If you don't let go, you're welcome." ”

The prison guard's face was furious, and he raised the baton in his hand to hit the brick's head hard, and the brick was even more angry when he was beaten, and he raised his hand to hit the prison guard's face, but at this time, I hooked his arm and whispered: "I'm sorry, it's all a misunderstanding." ”

Then he took the small box containing cinnabar from the brick hand and handed it to the prison guard, who opened the box and looked at it, and said strangely: "Didn't you say that it was smoke?

He didn't see that it was cinnabar, I smiled and said: "I asked the brick brother to help get it, this is cinnabar, my ancestors have a custom, if someone dies in the place where they live, they must use cinnabar to drive away evil spirits." But I didn't expect such a misunderstanding, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. ”

If the bricks were to be used here, we would be in an awkward position, and if we were confined, no one could say what would happen in such a narrow, lightless space.

"Exorcise evil spirits? What are you doing, this is a place for you to transform, I really think you're here for a tour? I confiscate the things! If there is a next time, I will confine you down. ”

After speaking, the prison guard took the cinnabar box and walked out, the brick was a little unconvinced, but I was tightly pulled.

"What should we do? The cinnabar box is gone, and if that evil ghost finds us, won't it be doomed?"

I comforted him a few words, and at this moment, the prison guard came to my door, knocked on it and said, "Ba Xiaoshan, someone has come to see you, come out." ”

I guessed that it must be a fat man!

Through the glass window, the fat man said in a low voice: "I asked someone to send in the things you asked me to prepare for you, sandwiched in the new quilt, there is a stack of rune paper, and a few pens, but I can't send in cinnabar, can you get it inside?"

"It's difficult, I got a box today, but it was confiscated by the prison guards. ”

I shook my head.

"Then I'll think of a way, by the way, the matter you asked me to ask Senior Han has been settled, and I have done some research myself. The original site of this prison was originally a textile factory, and it was rebuilt before the establishment of New China, that is, during the Republic of China. There were also many news reports about this place at the time, and it was said that the textile factory had caught fire before, and two female textile workers were burned alive without escaping. After the textile factory was burned down, the original owner sold the entire textile factory to the government at a low price in order to make up for the losses, and the government converted the factory into a prison on the basis of the factory. So, if you find a ghost inside, there are two possibilities, one is the lonely ghost of the prisoner who died over the years, and the other is the ghost of the female worker who was burned to death at that time. ”

I basically already knew what the fat man said, so I nodded and said, "Then did you help me ask? If there is no cinnabar, how can I draw a talisman? Is there any other way to deal with evil spirits?"

"Senior Han said that if there is no cinnabar, you can draw a talisman by blood, but you can draw a talisman with a lot of blood, and you need to practice drawing talismans, unless you are particularly talented or lucky. He also said that if there is no rune paper to subdue the evil spirits, then you need to do the Tao, but if the Tao is not high, I am afraid that you can only rely on magic weapons. ”

I don't have any of what Senior Han said! Cinnabar has been confiscated, not to mention Taoism and cultivation, and cultivating "Wudang Five Elements Gong" for so long is not even an entry. As for the magic weapon, I'm fucking in prison now, where are I going to get it!

"If none of that is available, I'll help you inquire about a side door. The fat man said something mysterious, and turned his head to look around, and continued, "Brother Zhuzi said that even if the evil ghost is fierce, it can't escape the pursuit of the ghost and the ghost, and if there is a way to lure the ghost to the world to catch the ghost, then it will naturally be able to subdue this evil ghost." However, if you want to ask the ghost to show up, you need gift money, and you need to send something. And it's not something that can be invited casually, there has to be a way. Brother Zhu gave me a method, and I wrote it on a note and sewed it into the quilt I brought to you. ”

Actually, I have heard of this method before, it is not the right way, it belongs to the partial door of the partial door. Originated in the Song Dynasty, I heard that some small bosses of running merchants at that time would carry a pendant, most of which were Bodhisattvas or immortals, but a small number of them were ghosts. At night, if there is no place to sleep in the mountains, they will pray for blessings in front of the pendant, and some people wearing pendants with the appearance of the ghosts will burn the paper money they carry with them, and ask the ghosts to send the shadows to be guards. The ordinary mountain ghosts did not dare to approach easily, and they could keep them safe overnight.

"Let's talk about it first, anyway, don't worry, I won't let you stay in there for long. ”

After the fat man left, I followed the prison guard to get the quilt he sent in, and after returning to the cell, I groped on the quilt for a while, took out a brush, a stack of rune paper, and a slender strip of white paper, unfolded it to see, there was a rather awkward scripture written on it, the fat man was very careful, and added pinyin to each word, which was convenient for me to practice.

This is actually an ancient Sanskrit scripture, a spell used to summon the guards of the underworld, but there are not many people who know it now, and the beads are quite capable of knowing this kind of old thing.

"What's this?"

Brick asked curiously.

"It's an ancient scripture, used to subdue ghosts, and now that everything is ready, I owe it to Cinnabar, if Cinnabar can get it, I'm confident that we can at least keep ourselves from dying. ”

While we were talking, the prison guard suddenly came over, knocked on the door and shouted, "Ba Xiaoshan, come out." ”

I wondered, this is not work and meal time, the fat man has just come to see me before leaving, why are you looking for me again?

After I got out, two prison guards took me to a place in the cell that I had never been to, and after several circles, I came to the office area behind the cell.

They actually brought me to the door of the warden's office, what are they doing here? Are they going to let me out?"
