Chapter 92 Before the Spring Festival, Suspicious

As the saying goes, before and after the Spring Festival is a day of festivities, there will be gods to bless them, and demons and monsters dare not come out to make trouble, but the point is that ghosts will not hide because you celebrate the festival. And even if you set off firecrackers during the Chinese New Year, they are likely to stand next to you and watch you set off firecrackers, and they are not afraid of firecrackers, because they are virtual bodies, not entities, and physical attacks are ineffective against them.

According to one thing mentioned in the 'Sun Wu Taoism All Heaven World Tao Chapter', in fact, the place where people will go after death is called the underworld, and there is a river in the underworld that divides the underworld into two areas, that is, east and west, and the Styx River is very vast, and there is a strong yin wind blowing on the Styx all year round, so it is impossible to fly over, and it is very difficult to ferry over. And the underworld is just a part of the underworld, equivalent to a ghost jurisdiction, and it is also the largest jurisdiction in the east.

There are many tributaries of the River Styx, among the several tributaries in the east, the most famous are the two famous tributaries in the underworld, one is called the River of Forgetting Worries, and the other is called the River of Nai, which can cause harm to ghosts, and the water of the River of Sanssouci can make ghosts forget the troubles of life.

Because there is a river Styx between the underworld, the management departments on the east and west sides basically do not interfere with each other, because even the god-level figure of Emperor Fengdu cannot cross the River Styx, just imagine how difficult it is to cross the river, so there are jokes on the Internet that if you die in the Americas, you will be a foreigner in the next life, which is very likely; But a Korean loses his breath, and when he reaches the underworld, he will still run to the underworld, and he will wrap Japan, because there is a soul-attracting stone in the underworld, and the coverage of the 'soul-attracting' in the world is extremely wide, as for how wide, you still have to ask the ghost.

The most famous hell is under the underworld, a flipped space, simply put, the floor of hell and the floor of the underworld are shared, just face up, face down, the situation and we stand on the land of northern China, if you can run through the earth, you can run to the land of the United States and stand. The location of the River Styx, in hell, has become a very famous hell flame river, flowing with yin magma water, also divided into many tributaries, each tributary finally converges into a small lake, the magma water in each lake has a different effect, I heard that there is also a kind of ghost lost in the illusion, as long as the ghost soaks in the morning, it will be intoxicated in the illusion, and then slowly be corroded by the lake, the soul is scattered.

Because of the relationship between the River Styx, things can't come and go in the underworld, so is this the case in hell, in fact, no, the sky above the River of Flames in Hell can fly, and the entrance to the 'Tongxian Road' is somewhere in this river, where is it, or that sentence, you go and ask the ghost.

Because hell can communicate with each other in the east and west, from time to time there are some imps in the west who don't know whether they are alive or dead, and they plan to smuggle to the underworld in the east, resulting in Yin soldiers guarding the flaming river all year round, and the earliest job of these Yin soldiers is to harvest souls in the upper world, but because they have changed jobs, the matter of harvesting souls is handled by the public security bureau of the underworld, that is, Lu Qingfeng and these ghosts.

The above content is all things that Qin Ide explained to Robert on the subway when he rushed to the restaurant, because Robert was very interested in the water of the Styx that He Shanbao said just now, so he had to let Qin Ed explain the matter of the Styx, and what Qin Ide said was all from Sun Xiaotong, because she kept a book of 'All Heaven World Taoism' there, and she didn't know this. How could Sun Wu Daofa's founding ancestor know so much, when he was still alive, he smuggled to the underworld and hell, and then ran back with a swagger.

When people hear more bizarre things, they will want to ask for proof of whether they are true, Qin Ide at the end of last month, he specially asked Lu Qingfeng to come up and ask him whether what he said in this book is true or not? It was confirmed from Lu Qingfeng's mouth that it was indeed the case. This made Qin Aide, Liang Yifu and Sun Xiaotong sure and certain that their ancestor must have engaged in cross-border smuggling back then, or they would have listened to the description of a cross-border smuggling guy and wrote it in this book.

Robert and Qin Ide said these strange and confusing words in the subway, and they were not afraid of being treated as fools by the people next to them, anyway, even if it is true, in today's Internet era, 99% of people will regard this as an artistic fantasy, no one will believe that it is true, and the best way to cover up the truth is to spread the truth as an Internet rumor.

After hearing Qin Ide's explanation, Robert thought for a moment and asked, "I think it would be better for me to come back to China in the future and wait for my death...". Qin Ed smiled and asked, "Why?" ”。 Robert said: "The west is Satan's place, if he doesn't let me reincarnate, it will be miserable, and I am more familiar with Mr. Lu, and I will have friends in the underworld in the future."

Qin Ed really cried and laughed when he heard this, why did you kid think of this so quickly? Qin Ed opened his mouth and said: "Why don't you ask Lu Qingfeng another day, who is in charge of the Western Underworld now, and it is likely that it is not Satan who is the leader." Robert smiled and said, "Okay, I still have a lot of things to ask him about history."

After this topic ended, the two did not speak in the car, and sat silently in the subway for a long time, because the road was a little far, it was really boring not to talk and not to play with the mobile phone, Qin Ed planned to sleep for a while, at this time Robert asked: "Actually, why are people afraid of death?" Even if I know now that I'm gone, I'll have another life, but I'm still a little scared of death."

When Qin Ide heard this, he said indifferently: "Fear of death is the instinct of living beings, and the instinctive consciousness of living beings is to survive, and even if they know that they will go to the underworld to wait for reincarnation, waiting to be born in the world again, people will still be afraid, afraid of losing everything they have, afraid of starting over, because it is impossible for us to know whether the next life will be a child of a poor family or a child of a rich family, so..." Speaking of this, Qin Ide took a deep breath and said: "Our life is actually very short, and there are too many things to cherish, because the you in the next life is actually not the current you."

Qin Ide was able to say this, and this is not thanks to Liu Qingqing and the monk, who let him know that he has been a 'soft-footed crab' man named Wu Xiuliang all his life, and his bones are shrinking, the point is that in fact, Qin Ide once dreamed of the years when he was Wu Xiuliang in his dreams, and understood that he was not only such a shortcoming, but also a 'scumbag' who was a 'scumbag' who didn't work, didn't study, didn't work, and wandered around the kiln all day long.

When Robert heard this, what was going on in his heart, Qin Ed didn't know, but there were still two stops left to get off the train, so let him think about it slowly.

After Liang Yifu fell, Robert still wanted to drive to the destination, but Qin Ide said that he was always lost, so he still took the bus first, and then took the subway to the subway station near the destination, and now the two of them walked for 5 minutes to the front of the restaurant with a history of more than 20 years.

At this time, the two came to the restaurant and found the restaurant manager who went to Jishantang for help, named Gong Xi's restaurant manager, Manager Gong saw that the person who came was a young man, and he was a little uncomfortable, but then he remembered that the woman in the store was also very young, and thought that as long as he had the ability, it didn't matter whether he was a young man or an old man, he could handle this matter well.

Manager Gong took Qin Ed to a private room, and arranged a few dishes for Qin Ed to eat, it happened that Qin Ed and Robert had not had lunch yet, Robert ate very unceremoniously, Manager Gong saw that Qin Ed did not move the chopsticks, and hurriedly smiled and said: "Eat first, let's talk while eating." Qin Ed nodded with a smile, and kept recalling in his mind what Uncle Qin taught him to pretend to be a master and his emotions at that time, but he hadn't pretended for too long, so he really couldn't remember, so he should ask the other party what was going on before eating.

Qin Ide looked at Manager Gong and asked, "I went back to the store just now, and I heard my junior sister say that something haunted happened in your restaurant, and she briefly told me about it, what are the details..." When Manager Gong heard this, he didn't even have the mood to drink tea, and said with a bitter face: "Alas, I'll show you this first." After speaking, Manager Gong took out his mobile phone and went to the public opinion website, and opened the post that the newcomer brought the ghost home after drinking in a certain restaurant in Pengcheng, Qin Ide took the mobile phone and looked at the post inside.

The post is about a couple who got married in August 2014, after the wedding banquet in this restaurant, they always felt sore shoulders when they returned home, and they couldn't solve it after seeing a doctor.

The second post said that the situation was similar, but it happened in October 2014, the same sore shoulder, but did not invite the master to see a doctor, and it is still sore, they suspect that there is a problem with the food in the restaurant, which caused the frozen shoulder of the female owner, so they hereby post to denounce and ask for compensation.

The third post is more appropriate, it happened in December 2014, before the wedding banquet, the female owner was putting on makeup in the dressing room of the restaurant, and together with the makeup artist, she saw a paper piercing person in the mirror, and when she looked back, there was nothing, and when she looked in the mirror again, the paper piercing person became two, and she ran out of the door in fright, and then was sent to the hospital for treatment.

Seeing this, Qin Aide returned his mobile phone to Manager Gong and said, "That's it?" So how do you think your hotel is haunted? ”。 Manager Gong looked depressed and said: "Originally, I thought they were posting to ask for benefits, or to retaliate against our restaurant, because they all disliked the food at the wedding banquet of our restaurant, but they were very picky anyway, and they wanted to damage the reputation of the restaurant when the discount was not negotiated."

Qin Ed interjected and asked, "The food is not delicious?" Are they the only ones complaining that it doesn't taste good? ”。 Manager Gong said with a wry smile: "Other people also have complaints, during that time we changed the chef in the restaurant, and the chef thought that the benefits we sent were not good, and he always cooked at random without working, especially the dishes at the wedding banquet were not well checked, so the second chefs copied and served, and now we have changed the chef, so the taste of the food has returned to normal." Manager Gong said and hurriedly said, "By the way, Mr. Qin hurry up and try the dishes of our restaurant, and taste whether it tastes good."

Qin Ed nodded, started to eat with chopsticks, and after the three of them had a full meal, Robert looked at Manager Gong and asked, "Did you also see those paper figures?" ”。 Manager Gong nodded helplessly and said: "Yes, after our boss first saw the post on the Internet, he decided that these people did not get a discount and deliberately created rumors to retaliate, but afterwards when we went in and out of the locker room, we could see the paper figure in the mirror from time to time, but after a closer look, I didn't find it, and then our boss once came to inspect the store, and when he went to the locker room to change his shirt, he saw the rumored paper man."

Qin Ed and Robert glanced at each other, Robert looked at Qin Ed and asked, "What now?" ”。 Qin Ed looked at Manager Gong and said, "Take us to the locker room to have a look."

Manager Gong took the two of them to the rumored haunted dressing room, and when they entered, they found that there was a long dressing table inside, and a small single room behind the dresser was used to change clothes. Manager Gong said: "What our boss means is that if there is a ghost, please catch it, and if there is no ghost, I hope you can figure out what is going on here, why you see the paper figure in the mirror, because the hotel cannot compensate the customer for this reason."

Qin Ed nodded, and began to investigate in the room with Robert, Robert mainly looked for problems from the perspective of non-ghosts, Qin Ed was responsible for finding out if someone had set up some trick formation, because he didn't feel the existence of yin qi when he entered this room, so he ruled out the possibility of haunting.

When he came to the front of the dresser, he looked at the mirror carefully, except for his own appearance that was more eye-catching, he didn't find anything strange, and he didn't know what the appearance of the paper figure in the mirror was, it was really hard to determine what the situation was, and the mirror was mounted on the wall, and there was not even a gap in the middle, so it was difficult to be tampered with.

Qin Ed sat on the chair in front of the dresser with his mouth suffocated, Robert passed behind him, Qin Ed suddenly saw two human-like colored shadows appear in the mirror instantly, and he hurriedly shouted: "Robert, don't move yet, step back." When Robert heard this, he was slightly stunned and asked, "Have you found a ghost?" ”。

Qin Ide said: "No, you walk slowly again according to the position you just walked over." Robert nodded and complied, and walked slowly, when he came to the direction of Qin Ed at 5 o'clock, Qin Ed immediately shouted to stop, Robert stood in place and turned his head to look at the mirror, he and Qin Ed saw a colored humanoid shadow appear in the mirror.

Robert suddenly said, "Look over there, there's a window." Qin Ide also found through the mirror, reflecting a ventilation window on the opposite wall of the dresser; So he moved the chair to the window, stood on the chair, looked at the window, and found that there were two translucent stickers pasted on the edge, which looked a little old, Qin Ed pushed open the window, and at this time Robert shouted: "Dear! Look at it".

Qin Ide turned to look at the mirror, and found that there were two inverted humanoid shadows in the mirror, this time it became clearer, it was really a bit like a paper man, Qin Ide gently turned the window light, and the two shadows suddenly became dim, and then Qin Ide covered the sticker with his hand, and the humanoid shadow in the mirror disappeared.

Qin Ed breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that it was just a matter of light source refraction, and then he and Robert called Manager Gong who was standing outside the door to come in and demonstrate this physical phenomenon once, Manager Gong breathed a sigh of relief and said: "It turned out to be a sticker farce, I almost thought it was really haunted."

Qin Ide said with a smile: "It's okay this time, I think those who posted, the one behind them all followed the train of thought of the first person who posted, and mistakenly thought that he had seen a ghost, so he said that the hotel was haunted, but in fact, he was suspicious, and there were not so many ghosts in the world."

Manager Gong nodded and said: "Regardless of whether there are ghosts or not, I finally refuted the rumors for the restaurant now, but I am afraid that this business will be difficult to do for a while in the future, but it is really good that there are no ghosts."

The haunted matter of the restaurant ended here, because it was not really haunted, Qin Ed didn't want to collect money, and Manager Gong also invited them to lunch, but Manager Gong said that they did him a big favor, and they had to pay for it, so he wrote a check for 2,800 yuan in the name of the restaurant and gave it to Qin Ide.

Actually, this incident was really haunted, but Qin Ed and they really didn't find anything related to the supernatural when they checked it at the time, and in a later incident, Qin Ed and they found out that the haunted incident in this restaurant was really deliberately done by someone, but this will happen in the future.

To get back to business, Qin Ed took the check and Robert left the restaurant, found a bank, and put the money of the check into Robert's card, Robert said at first that he didn't have to pay back so early, but Qin Ed said with a smile: "Chinese don't like to owe money to others before the New Year." Robert smiled and nodded, let's do as the locals do. Just after Qin Ed said this, a trace of memory suddenly flashed in his mind, as if he had said this before, and who had heard him say it; It's just that I can't remember anything.

Since he had nothing to do, Qin Ide took Robert to the most famous commercial street in Pengcheng to go shopping, in fact, Qin Ide came here for the third time, and the last time he came here, Liang Yifu took him to buy clothes, and he also needed to buy clothes, so he took Robert over to hang out.

I don't know if Qin Ed is really a road idiot, or if there is something about the layout of the buildings in this East Gate Pedestrian Street that makes people get lost, Qin Ed and Robert ate snacks here and bought clothes, Robert heard Qin Ed say that there is an animation city here, and he has to go there to take a look. Because Liang Yifu took himself to it once last time, do you still remember the game console that Liang Yifu played when he went to the factory last time to catch 'ghost Gu knockers', after Liang Yifu changed from a yellow man to a black man and then back to a yellow man, he took Qin Ed to the animation city to sell the game console for 1,000 yuan, originally he wanted to sell it in Huaqiangbei, but the store there was very good at bargaining, so he came here to sell the game console.

Now Qin Ed took Robert to wander around here, and finally found a girl who bought shoes in a shopping mall to inquire, and then he successfully walked out of this strange circle and came to the animation city, and then Robert began to spend indiscriminately again; Since Liang Yifu is not there, the two of them don't know the price of these anime peripheral goods, and they don't know what genuine and pirated is, anyway, they can buy whatever they like, Qin Ed saw that Robert had spent more than 3,000 yuan here, and began to be curious about Robert's family.

On the way back, Qin Ed asked Robert what the family did, only to know that Robert's grandparents have thousands of acres of land in Norway, are local farmers, and have several big houses, his parents work in London, England, his father is a lawyer, and his mother is not so exaggerated, just an ordinary small shop clerk, according to Robert's words, it is a well-off life in Europe, but this European well-off has become highly productive when it comes to our Celestial Empire. Robert has 800 pounds a month for living expenses, which is equivalent to a lot of money.

Qin Ed explained to Robert that he couldn't let Liang Yifu know how much living expenses he had a month, otherwise Liang Yifu would be stimulated, thinking that he had only earned 6,800 yuan last time he went to hunt ghosts, which couldn't catch up with Robert's living expenses for a month, and he had earned it back by working hard, thinking of this, Qin Ed couldn't help but smile bitterly.

As the saying goes, the car is not full, Pengcheng is one of the four famous economically developed cities in China, this rush hour is a very terrifying time period, you don't go to work people to join in the fun, Qin Ed took Robert and planned to go back to Jishantang. Now there are three options, A squeezes into the subway, B squeezes into the bus, C walks back, D takes a taxi back, and E Didi drops you back. However, they chose to take the bus back, but they regretted it, changed the bus twice, and squeezed all the way to the station near Jishantang to get off, if they could regret it, they should have chosen D or E just now.

Qin Ide didn't have a difficulty in choosing, but he didn't want to choose, in fact, the monk in his spiritual world once answered his doubts about the difficulty of choosing when he chatted with Qin Ide. The monk said that because he can't let go, many times he will feel that even if he chooses this, it may not be the most correct, but since he has chosen to stick to it, and then wait for the next choice, and the gains and losses are in the choice, and those who have not chosen will think that the choice will be better than now, and people are troubled by the results of their choices, in the final analysis, they are not troubled by the results, but by what they can't ask for, because there is a gap between the facts and the ideal results, but people will recall, This induces thinking, and then asking for trouble.

However, whether it is a human or a ghost, in your life, as long as you still exist, you must choose, make a choice, and then embark on the chosen path, thus forming your own destiny, which is what Qin Ide thought of after two bus transfers, and it belongs to the question that he wants to think about and answer.
