Chapter 15: The Hungry Ghost Road

Long Lu subconsciously patted his jacket pocket, and then put down his hand embarrassedly. He looked at Brother Deng and asked, "When you enter the Long family as a bodyguard, you should also pass the exam, right?"

"That is, the exam requirements are called a strict, physical fitness, culture, and foreign language, and then review after the exam, and then take the exam after the exam, it took 2 months, if it wasn't for the high salary, I would have given up. By the way, half a year after the exam, the training will be on the job. ”

Li Xiaoguo looked at Brother Deng's trembling fat when he spoke, and thought about how this guy's physical strength passed at that time. Long Lu continued: "There is a subject in the examination and training called "Buddhism and Taoism Culture of Country X". ”

"Yes, it's full of weird things, and some magic weapons and charms. I just read that part of the strange story as a chatter, and I didn't read anything else. How do you know that the exam was actually tested, and the score is not low, and the 10-point question that you understand by looking at the picture is actually asking us to explain a charm. ”

The bodyguards of the Kaolong family still need to understand these things, and Li Xiaoguo feels that these big families are synonymous with verbosity and complexity.

Long Lu patted the fat bodyguard on the shoulder: "It's not so easy to be a bodyguard in the Long family. In fact, there is a paragraph in the middle of that book that contains six paths, including the path of hungry ghosts. ”

Several people all said "huh", I don't know if it was due to the cold, or finally heard Long Lu talk about the topic, everyone squeezed in the direction of Long Lu.

"I also read it from the book, and I guessed it based on the situation just now, which may not be accurate. Long Lu looked at everyone leaning over, a little embarrassed.

Everyone knows his habits, but there is no one to talk to, he paused a little embarrassed, and then continued: "The six realms are the cycle of life and death, and the six places where all beings in the world are reincarnated after death are called the six realms. They are the Heavenly Dao, the Shura Dao, the Humane Dao, the Animal Dao, the Hungry Ghost Dao, and the Hell Dao. ”

Sure enough, it's the same as listening to mythological stories, but what happened today is mysterious enough, so that no one interrupts him, and everyone listens patiently.

"In our previous lives, we estimated that we were honest and didn't make any mistakes, so we were reincarnated in a place like humanity that is neither good nor bad, and if we accumulate some more virtue, we will go to the Heavenly Dao and the Shura Dao, which are better places to enjoy happiness all day long. And the latter is called the Three Evil Paths, and being reincarnated there is a tragic word. Needless to mention, everyone knows about being a cow and a horse all their lives, and being reincarnated into a hungry ghost is generally a person who has committed some kind of greed, stinginess, and viciousness in his previous life. ”

"To be a hungry ghost here, you have to live in the darkness forever, and your stomach is burning all the time, and you have to endure hunger all the time. They are more addicted to food than to drugs. He turned back and pointed to the demons on the other side of the river, who had not dispersed, with small limbs and large bellies like pigs: "In fact, even if they eat it, it is useless, and the food will not only not fill their stomachs, but will make their stomachs burn, and the pain is very great." ”

At the end, he added. "Therefore, the hungry ghosts here are not the souls of people we knew before, but reincarnated beings like us. ”

A few hours ago, Long Lu said such a thing, and everyone probably treated him as if he was mentally ill, but what he encountered today was incredible, and it was highly consistent with what Long Lu said, and several people believed it.

Only Brother Deng heard what kind of "reincarnation" and "accumulation of virtue" and the like, and finally couldn't sit still and shouted: "It's 2020, how can you be feudal and superstitious, it's better to say that they are zombies infected by germs, I think it's a little more credible." ”

As soon as he said this, several people muttered again, in fact, according to the description, everyone felt that they were closer to the hungry ghosts, but the education they received since childhood made several people feel that the zombie result was more acceptable.

Just when everyone's hearts were swaying from side to side, Long Lu said: "Whether it's a hungry ghost or not, you'll know if you try it." ”

"How to try?" several people gathered around Long Lu again.

"Didn't you take the spell test during the exam?" do you remember?" Long Lu asked Deng Fatzi.

Brother Deng didn't think about it, so he replied: "That ghost drawing, even if you remember it at the time, you can forget it all now." ”

"Then according to my memory, there are no cinnabar talismans here, so let's replace them with blood. After speaking, he took out the dagger from his waist and looked at Brother Deng with blazing eyes.

"What are you looking at me, don't look at me with a lot of meat, in fact, I am obese anemia, and I faint blood, as soon as I see blood, I will, oops, you guys are hard!" Seeing that several other people were looking at him in unison, he just wanted to say something for himself, but he was caught by Li Xiaoguo and the driver left and right, and in a flash, Long Lu had already made a hole in his fingers.

Li Xiaoguo was still saying: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. The driver next to him was already talking heartlessly: "You still call it anemia? However, the blood lipids are indeed a little higher, and I have to eat lightly when I go back. ”

He was still afraid that Deng Ge would lose his voice, and his right hand did not forget to cover his open mouth. Deng Ge flicked like a loach a few times in a muffled sound, and it wasn't until he watched Long Lu draw a few lines on the body of the pistol with his bloody hand that he completely gave up resistance.

"There's no yellow paper, it's okay to draw on the gun?" Even Li Xiaoguo stared curiously at the "blood gun" in Long Lu's hand. ”

"If you want to use yellow paper to draw talismans and stick them on the ghosts' heads, do you think you have a chance to paste them?" Long Lu glanced at the dense group of ghosts on the opposite bank with his eyes, and said, "In fact, the production of talismans has been developing over the years. After so many years of using guns, spells drawn on guns have also come into being, and there are even many new charms that can be used with many high-tech weapons. Of course, there are also a lot of old-fashioned ones, and there is no way to insist on what ancient method is the first, and you must use yellow paper, peach wood, glutinous rice, etc. ”

A few people listened to the clouds, especially the dragon slash, as the eldest young master of the Long family, how could he have the opportunity to come into contact with these things, he was completely confused. Li Xiaoguo has watched a few movies in Hong Kong in the early years, and knows that this is a means used by "Taoist priests" to ward off evil spirits and subdue ghosts.

Although he didn't quite understand, looking at the pistol that Long Lu was holding, Long Slash still reminded him: "You can't shoot here, right?" Maybe there are a lot of evil ghosts on our side, and the gunshots may all come over." ”

After Long Lu waited for the blood on the gun to dry slowly, he went to the pocket of his jacket again, and this time he found a swarthy iron pipe-muffler. This security captain jacket pocket is like a cornucopia of Doraemon, taking whatever you want.

With the muffler installed, he walked quickly to the river, made a standard gesture of raising his gun and aiming, and fired a shot at the group of ghosts on the opposite bank.

A slight spark flashed, and one of the hungry ghosts in the front row shuddered backwards, his right shoulder sinking back, apparently the shot hitting him in the shoulder. The group of ghosts also shook slightly around him, but it was just these small noises, and everything immediately returned to its original state.

Everyone stared at it with wide eyes for a few seconds, and made sure that there was no reaction, Brother Deng was already blowing the wind in the ears of the dragon: "I'll just say it's zombies and the like, Brother Lu is not right to hit the shoulder, this zombie can't die anywhere, you have to shoot your head directly... Oops, is this a fire?"

Before Brother Deng's words were finished, he opened his mouth to stop, only to see the evil ghost who was shot, bursts of green smoke suddenly appeared on his shoulder, as the smoke became thicker and thicker, a fire hole appeared on the hungry ghost's shoulder as if paper had been boiled, as the fire hole slowly expanded, the hungry ghost twisted painfully, and the other evil ghosts next to him retreated like the plague. In a few moments, the hungry ghost's entire shoulder was burned out, and the hand that had lost connection to its body fell to the ground.

"It's a pity that I'm just coping with professional exams, and I don't know where to use it too properly, if it was drawn by a professional, that hungry ghost probably wouldn't have any slag left. A few people were stunned, and they didn't notice it when Long Lu walked back with a gun, until Long Lu said a few words, and everyone woke up like a dream.

"It seems that these are really some kind of hungry ghosts or something, and we are really in some kind of hungry ghost Dao!" Li Xiaoguo and the thought came to their minds.

Only Brother Deng had a clear idea, and now he not only didn't mention the "zombies" he had always insisted on, but he actually blamed Long Lulai, "I said, you have this way, don't you draw a pair of guns on each of us earlier, with this thing, no matter how many of these hungry ghosts there are, they will be made into skewers by us." Besides, there is no need to waste so many bullets. "This fat man came to this barren land since he was beaten, as if he had completely forgotten that Long Lu was his boss.

Long Lu slanted over with a murderous look, and Brother Deng also knew that he was speechless, and he was stunned on the spot. The driver smiled beside him: "Even if you leave here alive now, it is estimated that life will not be easy." ”

However, Long was simple-hearted, without the young master's shelf, and explained to Long Lu vigorously: "You see that we ran all the way from the car, and we didn't stop for a while, so we had the time to think about drawing charms." ”

"Since we're sure it's in the Hungry Ghost Road, how should we go back. Li Xiaoguo opened up on the side, this is what he is most concerned about, how to escape from this eerie and terrifying world and return to Harbor City to be an ordinary high school student.

"Well, it's not in the textbook!" Long Lu said, touching his chin. A few people almost "booed" out.

Long Lu became the security captain of the Long family, because Long Ye took a fancy to his infinite superpowers and had many years of security experience. When it was his turn to talk about Taoism and metaphysics and the like, he basically just didn't touch the door. "It is said that the horse steward is fine with the passage method, if he is there, these may not be a problem. ”

Seeing that Long Lu couldn't explain, Long Slash lowered his head and thought for a while, and said to everyone, "What do you think should be done now." ”

Everyone shook their heads blankly, Long Lu understood the young master, and knew that he already had an idea in his heart: "Young master, you give an order, what do you say, let's just follow." ”

"I think I'll go to the neighborhood in groups first to see if I can find the cave I came into. Long Slash looked around at everyone and added: "Of course, there is a certain danger, but it is better than staying here and waiting for death." ”

"That's going to cross the river and go back!" Several people were shocked to break out in a cold sweat when they heard this proposal.

"We don't have to act now, let's pretend to leave. Although the hungry ghost on the opposite side was greedy, he was afraid of the white snake under the water, and did not dare to go down to cross the river to chase after him. As long as we disappear from their sight long enough, they will naturally disperse. "When the time comes, we will return to the other side the same way, as for the white snake in the water, as long as we don't make too much movement when crossing the river, it shouldn't gather to attack us." ”

Long Slash said every word, thoughtful and well-arranged, a bit of a general commanding on the battlefield. Everyone nodded in agreement. But they all said in unison that they were unwilling to search in groups, and they wanted to be with the young master, and we would follow the young master wherever he went.

Long Slash knew that a few people were afraid, and he was unwilling to leave the strong Long Lu for half a minute, so he smiled slightly, and he didn't say anything.

Just as the few people were about to set off, Long Slash said again: "This Brother Deng just now had a very good idea, and he drew a sigil on each gun. There's nothing to be afraid of when you meet a hungry ghost like this. ”

Everyone nodded, Long Lu took out the dagger, and walked towards Brother Deng who was crying with a sad face: "Borrow some more blood for use." ”
