Crossing the karmic fire red lotus
(a)
What if one day, Hell Yama suddenly came to earth for the sake of his lover in a past life? You are not mistaken, it just happened, it was very strange, but it was very poignant......
Before that, Zhao Dongsheng was just an ordinary clerk, working in a bookstore called "No. 7 Pawnshop".
Not only is the name of the shop weird, but there are many other weird places.
It's just a broken bookstore, but it's actually opened in the most prosperous area of the city, the rent is frighteningly expensive, and you have to pay for water and electricity on a monthly basis.
It stands to reason that such a good location should be prosperous, but there are often few customers throughout the day.
The boss was a diminutive old man, wrapped in a black robe all day, and his wrinkled face was like orange peel.
Occasionally, strangely dressed customers will walk straight into the eerie room that is completely enclosed.
The boss would often rub a thick book with a black cover and a sickle on the cover......
However, these have nothing to do with an ordinary person like Zhao Dongsheng, for him, as long as he has a salary, it will be fine.
Zhao Dongsheng lives a regular life from 9 to 5 every day, two o'clock and one line, without a father or mother, and even a girlfriend.
However, there was an incredible thing that happened quietly on July 15, Zhao Dongsheng recalled that he was painful and happy, maybe he was such a restless person in his bones.
In the middle of July, the door of ghosts was wide open.
According to legend, every year from the first day of July, the king of Hades orders the gates of hell to be opened, so that those who suffer and are imprisoned in hell all year round can get out of hell, get a short-term wandering, and enjoy the blood and food of the world, so people call July the ghost month.
"Dong Sheng, today is Halloween, an unlucky day, you can be careful not to get anything dirty. ”
When the clerk Mo Xiaomi left, he mysteriously leaned into Zhao Dongsheng's ear and gave him a piece of yellow rune paper folded into a triangle.
In fact, the night shift was originally Mo Xiaomi's value, but she said that she was scared and begged to change shifts with Zhao Dongsheng, Zhao Dongsheng is a big man, so it is naturally impossible to shirk it.
Besides, the legend of Halloween, Zhao Dongsheng's grandfather didn't know how many times he talked to him when he was alive, and his ears were calloused, and he didn't see a ghost, where to believe it.
"Slow down, welcome next time. Zhao Dongsheng settled the account and sent off the last guest.
There is still a piece of talisman paper left by Mo Xiaomi on the cash register, which is said to have been opened by a certain eminent monk, and it cost dozens.
Just Mo Xiaomi's stupid girl believes that she must be a charlatan, Zhao Dongsheng smiled a little speechlessly, he was going to throw it away, but after thinking about it, he bought it with money, so he stuffed it into his pocket.
Strings of wind chimes hung from the glass doors of the bookstore, which were blown by the wind. The door suddenly opened, and a biting cold wind blew in, and a few crisp bells faintly sounded, mixed with the woman's chuckle.
Zhao Dongsheng couldn't help but shudder, picked up his coat and put it on, and secretly scolded himself for being cranky.
He double-checked it again to make sure there was nothing missing, locked the door of the bookstore and headed home.
He rented a house far away from his place of work, although it was remote, but the water and electricity were all-inclusive, and the price was cheap, which was perfect for a bachelor like Zhao Dongsheng.
Nine o'clock, it's not too late, if it were in the past, the nightlife had just begun. But today is an unlucky day, so much so that Zhao Dongsheng stood on the side of the road and didn't see a car butt after taking a taxi for a long time.
A bus suddenly stopped in front of him, No. 75, which happened to be the line where Zhao Dongsheng went home, and the body seemed to have just been painted with new paint, which was a particularly bright green.
Zhao Dongsheng was a little stunned, looked behind him, and turned out to be standing in front of the bus stop.
"Young man, you can't get on the bus yet?" the old lady sitting in the first row leaned out and shouted to Zhao Dongsheng.
"That's right, hurry up, don't stand stupidly!" Several voices sounded in the carriage one after another, urging him. Zhao Dongsheng didn't have time to think about it, so he hurriedly went up from the front door and threw a coin into the ticket vending machine.
The coin fell down and made a "snap" sound, and the driver in the driver's seat suddenly turned his head and stared at Zhao Dongsheng expressionlessly, which looked particularly weird against the background of the dim street lights, and Zhao Dongsheng even saw the middle-aged driver smile at him with the corners of his mouth.
Zhao Dongsheng suddenly got up with goosebumps, rubbed his arms in frustration, and found a nearby place to sit down.
The bus started staggeringly and drove forward along the straight asphalt road, the carriage was dark and dreary, and Zhao Dongsheng simply turned his head to stare out the window.
The scenery on both sides slowly receded, and he suddenly felt a strong sense of fatigue, his head was little by little, leaning back in his chair, and his eyes slowly closed......
"Eh, did you say he was really asleep? "A very immature child's voice, clear and crisp.
Zhao Dongsheng felt that something was poking him in the face, but unfortunately there seemed to be a lead block pressed on his eyelids, and he couldn't open them for a long time.
"You little girl, what did you say, when did the ghost woman's hypnotism fail. Then came a young woman's voice, with a soft tone, as beautiful as a Jiangnan singer.
"Don't make a fuss, I can smell it from afar, this kid has the blood of the Heavenly Master, this is a great supplement......" The old and hoarse voice revealed thick salivation. Zhao Dongsheng could easily hear that this was the old lady who had beckoned him to get into the car before.
The content of their words was strange, one time it was a Heavenly Master ghost, and the other time it was about the newly appointed Yama, who seemed to feel that Zhao Dongsheng was already in their pocket and was not in a hurry to enjoy it.
Zhao Dongsheng spent a long time, and even recited the heart mantra several times before he finally opened his eyelids.
Where is there still on the bus, into the eye, is a barren yellow earth, scattered with dry bones, a blood-red moon hanging in the sky, a wide river flows quietly, the water surface is turbid, and the yellow sand is churning. There are bright red flowers growing on the shore, and the flowers are not leafy, and Zhao Dongsheng vaguely feels that it is the flower of hell, the so-called doom flower Manzhu Shahua.
Flowers on the other side, flowers bloom on the other side, you can't see the leaves when the flowers bloom, you can't see the flowers when there are leaves, the flowers and leaves don't see each other, and the life is wrong. She is the flower that blooms on the Yellow Spring Road, and it is also the only scenery and color on the long Yellow Spring Road, and people follow her guidance to the Netherworld Prison.
Zhao Dongsheng finally came to the literary and artistic time, and suddenly, a bloody face came to him with a smile. The skin and flesh are rolled, and the white bones inside can be seen, and the eyeballs are sunken outside, dripping and turning. Zhao Dongsheng covered his lips so that he didn't scream in shame.
"Xiao Chao, don't scare him, then the meat won't be delicious. The kind-faced old lady gently tapped the seven or eight-year-old girl with a cane, and her tone was very serious.
Hey, hey, is it really okay to discuss this kind of thing in front of me? Zhao Dongsheng's face darkened, and he almost scolded, but fortunately he controlled it.
"Got it, mother-in-law. The girl covered her lips and giggled, her face was pink and tender, and she wore a bun, which looked particularly cute. Zhao Dongsheng didn't dare to look at her face, God knows if it would become a grimace with blue faces and fangs again.
"Have a good time with our meal. The old lady whispered strangely, Zhao Dongsheng only saw countless ghosts with missing arms and legs, and hideous faces rushing towards him, drowning him like a tidal wave, and there was even a sharp pain of teeth tearing on his neck.
Suddenly, a dazzling golden light shot out of Zhao Dongsheng's coat pocket and bounced many ghosts away, some of them couldn't dodge, and they were hit the glass, wailing.
Zhao Dongsheng heard a voice full of majesty and shouted, "Bold, don't wait for it to disperse quickly." With a pain in his head, Zhao Dongsheng suddenly woke up, and the bus had stopped on the side of the road.
Zhao Dongsheng fixed his eyes and saw that the carriage was empty, and the position of the cab was even more empty, and the original 75 road did not know when it became 715 road.
715 Road? Isn't it July 15 when you take it apart? Zhao Dongsheng broke out in a cold sweat and stumbled out of the car. After shaking his hands and fumbling for a long time, he took out a triangular yellow object, which was the rune paper that Mo Misai gave him before.
Zhao Dongsheng couldn't help but be glad that he didn't throw this thing away, otherwise it would really become a ghost meal.
It is said that seeing is believing and hearing is false, this time, Zhao Dongsheng completely believed in the legend of Halloween, and knew that even if he was deducted from full attendance by the stingy boss, it was not worth this night shift.
I was worried about how to go home, and a black Alto suddenly stopped in front of me, and the window was rolled down, it was an old classmate Yu Dahai, who seemed to have just come back from a party, and a smell of alcohol came to his nose.
"Dong Sheng, why are you wandering here alone at night? It's not good to take a taxi on this Halloween, I'll drop you off." Zhao Dongsheng saw that it was a familiar face, and immediately put down his snack, but when he remembered what kind of ghosts were broadcast in the ghost movie, he still felt weak in the end.
Zhao Dongsheng was worried all the way, Yu Dahai was very comfortable, there was a song in the car, and he shook his head while telling Zhao Dongsheng some interesting things about his high school days.
In less than half an hour, the car stopped at the entrance of the alley, Zhao Dongsheng thanked Yu Dahai and rushed upstairs almost as soon as he fled.
The window slowly rose, and Yu Dahai, who was sitting in the seat, suddenly shook his body, and his head was soft on the steering wheel.
A cloud of green smoke peeled off from him, slowly gathered into a woman's appearance, and chased Zhao Dongsheng away.
After a few minutes, Yu Dahai sat up straight, patted his drowsy head, looked around through the window glass, and muttered a little inexplicably, "How did I get here? Isn't this Zhao Dongsheng's guy's residence?"
The car started slowly and quickly disappeared around the corner......
(b)
Zhao Dongsheng entered the house and began to rummage through the cabinets, and it took a long time to pull out from under the sofa the things that his grandfather left him when he died.
It was a delicately made wooden box, and although it had accumulated a thick layer of ash, you could still see the carved vines on it.
Zhao Dongsheng remembered that his grandfather handed him this wooden box when he was dying, and his tone was cautious, "Dongzi, you must take good care of it, maybe it can save your life in the future." ”
Just like the ghost lady said, Zhao Dongsheng's grandfather is a heavenly master, and he is still a very famous heavenly master.
Zhao Dongsheng vaguely remembered that his grandfather said that he was the 89th generation descendant of the Maoshan faction, but at that time Zhao Dongsheng was already in elementary school, a scientific and technological society, how could he believe this, the left ear went in and the right ear went out.
As soon as the wooden box was opened, Zhao Dongsheng was choked by the musty smell and coughed, squinting at it, there were very few things inside. Just a boxy letter, and a strange pendant, Zhao Dongsheng picked it up and looked closer, the pendant was black and red, shaped like an eye.
"Fuyuko, when you open this letter, it means that you have encountered something unclean...... This pendant is called the Eye of the Dead, and it is a spiritual thing...... Grandpa will bless you underground. ”
Zhao Dongsheng read the letter at a glance and ten lines, and couldn't help choking a little, since he went to school, he has been estranged from his grandfather, and he didn't want his classmates to know that there was a Maoshan Taoist priest at home, and even felt ashamed. 166 Reading Network
