Chapter Twenty-Six: Paper Figures

When I was playing enthusiastically, I heard Meimei outside calling my name: "Cheng Shuai, Zhang Cheng Shuai!" ā€

I answered, "I'm here." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Why did you get here?" Sun Meimei stood at the door and said, "Uncle Liu asked you to go back?" ā€

"What are you going to do when you go back, they don't have anything in the temple."

"Heal your leg."

I just remembered the purpose of this Faming Temple, but it is strange to say, it seems that after entering this temple, the injury on my leg has never hurt again, nor has it itched, it seems that this Dharma Buddha is still very useful. Thinking that this was related to my little life, I had to reluctantly cut my love and say goodbye to my computer.

When I returned to the wing, I saw a monk wearing a red robe, and Uncle Liu called him the host brother. I heard the little monks sweeping the floor here say that they presided over the Dharma name Shide, and they were the oldest of the generations of Shizi, followed by my Uncle Liu, and then my father.

When he saw me, he smiled and said, "This is the son of my junior brother?" ā€

Liu Bo said: "Exactly. Then Uncle Liu called me over, "Quickly show your uncle the injury on his leg." ā€

I rolled up my trouser leg and showed him the tooth marks on my leg.

The host of Shi De looked at it carefully, and then touched the wound with his finger and asked me, "Does it hurt?" ā€

I shook my head: "It doesn't hurt." ā€

The host of Shi De frowned, "It seems to be rooted in it." Then he straightened up and said, "Shi Xuan, it's right for you to bring him back, if you want to force out the filth inside, you must let him meditate and cleanse himself." ā€

I asked, "What do you mean?" ā€

Uncle Liu said: "That is to say, let you calm down, you can't eat meat, and you must keep the precepts that the monks keep." ā€

"What, isn't that the same as a monk?"

"It only takes a while."

"Oh." I breathed a sigh of relief, I wouldn't have to go crazy if I had been like this for so long.

The host Shi De smiled slightly: "Don't worry, when the time comes, I will work together with my junior brother to force this filth out, and you will be fine." He added, "But strangely, I don't think this filth is ordinary, how could a virtuous nephew provoke such a thing?" ā€

The fourth uncle hurriedly said: "It's all because he is greedy for fun, and he got into such a big trouble." ā€

I looked at the fourth uncle and saw that he looked at me directly. I thought to myself, this Buddha is not an outsider, why don't you tell the truth. I had no choice but to cooperate, and repeatedly said that this was the case.

At this time, a monk came in outside and said, "Presiding, the villagers of Dongsha Village said that that thing has appeared again." ā€

Uncle Liu asked on the side, "Senior brother, is it still the coffin shop?" ā€

"Yes, I went to see the release of the wind and the release of the arrival, but I didn't find out why."

"I have to find someone who knows the art of Daigo." Uncle Liu looked at my fourth uncle, and then sighed.

My fourth uncle suddenly felt despised and shouted: "You monk Liu, what do you mean, I have also learned spells, don't look down on people." ā€

"Then do you know the art of Daigo?"

My fourth uncle replied: "I, I don't understand." ā€

I picked my nose on the side to watch the excitement, I heard that my fourth uncle used to follow the old gentleman in the village to learn a little Huang Lao's skills, but unfortunately he didn't learn well, showing people the house, and as a result, people were crying every day by their families, saying that the house was leaking and leaking, and it was called a miserable life below, and my fourth uncle ran out of the village and didn't dare to go back.

"I—I understand." Sun Meimei timidly raised her hand and said.

Hearing Sun Meimei say that she would, everyone's eyes focused on her, "Meimei, do you really know how to do it?" ā€

Sun Meimei nodded.

"Na Meimei, can you help?"

Sun Meimei nodded again and said, "Yes." ā€

As soon as I heard that I could go out and play, I hurriedly said, "I can help too." ā€

The fourth uncle gave me a blank look: "Go, stay here honestly, I'll go with Meimei." ā€

Then the fourth uncle went out under the leadership of the monk.

If you don't want to take me there, it will definitely not work, so I took advantage of Uncle Liu's disappointment and quietly slipped out. I followed the fourth uncle all the way behind them, and the fourth uncle had just reached the halfway point, and for some reason hurried back again.

When I saw that the fourth uncle was gone, I hurriedly shouted, "Sun Meimei." ā€

When Sun Meimei looked back at me, she asked in surprise, "Why did you come with me?" ā€

"Why, you don't want me to come with you."

Sun Meimei's cheeks were rosy, and she said softly, "No." ā€

I looked at the fourth uncle who was running back with his tail between his legs and asked, "Hey, why did my fourth uncle go back?" ā€

The monk said, "The donor said that his stomach hurts. ā€

"Stomach ache?" I looked at the back of the fourth uncle, and I didn't know if it was a real pain or a fake pain.

Then I walked down the mountain with Sun Meimei and the little monk. I asked the monk what was going on.

The monk said: "There is a coffin shop at the foot of the mountain, and the paper piercing people in the shop talk to people at night. ā€

Hearing this, I suddenly felt a chill down my spine, and the paper man spoke, really fake. The paper figure that gave the dead a funeral, everyone must have seen it, with a white face and round red cheeks, which makes people feel uncomfortable when they see it. No wonder my fourth uncle ran away with a stomach, so evil, even I wanted to slip away, but when I thought of going back to face the red wall of the temple, I still followed, anyway, Sun Meimei is there.

I tugged at Sun Meimei's sleeve, "What kind of Daigo do you really know?" ā€

Sun Meimei nodded: "Well, I learned from my master." ā€

"Your master?" I heard her father say that Meimei's Taoism is the best in her hometown.

"She is a Taoist aunt, once she traveled to our Sun Xuan Temple, I worshipped her as a teacher."

"Oh." I asked again, "What about your master?" ā€

"It's gone."

It seems that cultivation doesn't live long, I thought to myself.

When I arrived at the coffin shop, I saw many coffins at the door, which made me feel uncomfortable.

The little monk shouted to an old man: "Shopkeeper." ā€

"Little Master, you're here, what do you think I'm going to do here." The shopkeeper jumped sharply.

I glanced into the room and asked, "What about the paper figurines who can talk?" ā€

When the shopkeeper heard this, he said with a bitter face: "I've opened my mouth to speak, I dare to keep it." It's all burned, you see, aren't they all here......" As he spoke, he kicked the ashes on the side, and said distressedly: "It's all money, so it's burned, hey!" ā€

I asked him with interest, "What did those paper figures say?" ā€

"Young man, don't make fun of me, what can you say? It's just nonsense, some cry, some scold, and some talk to each other, in the middle of the night, not to mention how scary. Speaking of this, the shopkeeper seemed to have palpitations, and his shoulders trembled.

I rolled my eyes around and thought about the sight, it seemed to be funny.

The shopkeeper asked the little monk again: "Little Master, have you thought of a way, what do you think of my business!" ā€

The little monk said, "These two are invited to help the villagers catch evil spirits." ā€

"Just these two dolls."

"What's the matter, I look down on people." I looked at his coffins, and accidentally saw a paper man in one of them, and I asked, "Didn't you say that they were all burned, why is there another one?" ā€

The shopkeeper said, "This was just done, there is no way, it can't be like this forever." Because he was afraid of making trouble again, he threw it into the coffin. ā€

"Oh." A few of us went over and looked at the paper figure, and it was doing a pretty good job, with two pigtails, a red mouth, and round eyes.

I joked, "Meimei, look, it doesn't look like you, hahaha." ā€

Sun Meimei looked at the appearance of the paper man, pouted, and turned to the shopkeeper: "Since it can speak, then don't draw your mouth." ā€

When the shopkeeper heard this, he patted his head: "Yes, it makes sense." Hurriedly instructed the guys in the store to wipe out the paper man's mouth.

Sun Meimei asked again: "Besides that, isn't there anything else?" ā€

The little monk said, "Yes, sometimes a monster will appear on the street at night, holding incense in his hand, as if he was worshipping something. ā€

"Monsters? What kind of monster? I asked hurriedly.

"I heard from the villagers that the thing was not tall and looked like a human, but it was very fast and disappeared in a flash."

"Does this have anything to do with the paper man talking?" Sun Meimei asked.

The little monk shook his head, it seemed that they didn't know either.
