Chapter 18: The Rules of the Underworld
Of course, after the landlord's brazen pleading, I finally agreed.
Provided, of course, that he must work under my command.
I agreed with the landlord, not because I was rent-free, but because after reading the landlord's eight characters, I found that he was hard-hitting!
This kind of person is very useful when it is critical.
And the landlord is from the city, and there are indeed many places where he needs help.
After taking over the business, we immediately took action, riding the landlord's motorcycle, and went to the mall to observe the vacuum cleaner together, measure, take pictures, and when we came back, we began to try to use bamboo strips, cardboard and other bones to tie out the skeleton first, and began to try to make it.
In the evening, I stopped making the vacuum cleaner and sat quietly in my chair and waited.
There was a candle lit in the room, and the lights were not turned on, and the surroundings were very dim.
"Aren't we going to turn on the lights?"
The landlord was nervous and smoked cigarette after cigarette.
"If you don't turn on the lights, ghosts don't like light! Let's open the door to do business, people are customers, and ghosts are also customers. Since Liu Yuanqing's wife has paid the money, we must pay attention to the service experience! I tapped lightly on the table and said leisurely.
At this time, the candle flame flickered twice, and the flickering flame turned into a blue light, and I stopped tapping my fingers.
"I've done what I promised you, and now it's time for you to fulfill your promise!" Looking at the darkness in front of the table, I suddenly spoke.
"He's coming? How can I not see it? ”
Seeing me talking to the air, a layer of goosebumps appeared on the landlord's body, and he couldn't help but approach me and ask in a whisper.
"You want to see it? All right! ”
I laughed, this landlord is timid himself, and now he wants to do yin walking with me, just to exercise.
I pressed my big finger over the index finger, ring finger, and little finger over the palm of my hand, and then used my erected middle finger to quickly slide over the unfinished teacup on the table to cast the eye-opening spell into the teacup.
After the curse, he still dipped his middle finger in water, wiped it on the landlord's face, and opened his eyes with a light sound!
The landlord sighed, only to find that on the opposite side of the table, there was a person sitting - Liu Yuanqing, the former owner of the store!
And next to Liu Yuanqing, there was a child, dressed in red and red pants, with a dull face, who was the boy I had pierced before.
Liu Yuanqing bared his teeth at the landlord and said, "Brother Zang, you have been wronged!" ”
The landlord was frightened and hurriedly surrendered, but he was speechless.
Liu Yuanqing didn't care, but said to me: "I only know that the city gate is the gate of the City God Temple, and we lined up to go there because a ghost sent us to inform us to go over." ”
After Liu Yuanqing's wish was granted, the ghost became much calmer and told me everything he knew.
When he had said that, he thanked me again, and then, after signaling to the still terrified landlord, he took his "son", the boy in red, out of the door and disappeared.
I didn't pay attention to Liu Yuanqing's disappearance, but thought about the information he provided.
City God Temple, these Knima pits!
This city god is equivalent to the lord of a city, the place in charge of the underworld of this city, and the absolute real power.
His uncle, without my knowledge, actually changed the gate of the city god, this Nima is really an old birthday star hanged to death!
There are many ghost and ghost generals under the city god, and it is really hard for me to find out who caught this.
But now it's not the key to check it or not, the key is how should I solve the matter of changing the gate of the City God Temple?!
Just as I was looking down in contemplation, I suddenly heard a loud bang, which startled me.
I suddenly looked up, saw that it was the landlord slapping the table, and scolded angrily, "You are sick, people are scary and scared to death, you know?" ”
"Three cannons, that one just now is really Liu Yuanqing's ghost!"
"And, also, that little ghost, that ghost kid, the one you pierced, this is scary!"
The landlord exclaimed.
I was speechless for a moment, everyone has been gone for a long time, and you just reacted, what the hell is going on!
"He's gone from your body, you don't have to worry about it in the future. But after all, you have been subjected to ghosts, so the yang energy of your body is seriously suppressed, so it is easy to attract ghosts in the future! ”
The landlord was anxious when he heard this, and just wanted to speak, but I stopped him.
"From tomorrow, you boil a jar of water with vines, then add aconite, ginger, cinnamon, and dogwood, and soak in the bath for more than half an hour every morning for nine consecutive days, and you will be completely recovered."
"Of course, if you persist every day, no ghost will be able to get on you again!"
This landlord will also be my partner in the future, so he is safe, and I still have to take care of him.
The landlord was worried about this, and now after listening to me tell him the method, he was immediately overjoyed, "Don't worry, I will wash it every day in the future!" ”
"It's just a trivial matter, and the real danger is much more powerful than this." I was overjoyed to see him and was ready to take this opportunity to give him a vaccination.
The landlord's face changed drastically, "What do you mean?" Is it also dangerous to tie paper? ”
"There is no danger in tying paper, but there are many taboos in tieping paper, and if you violate it, it will be dangerous, the kind that will kill you!"
After thinking about it for a while, I decided to popularize the most basic common sense of yin behavior to the landlord first, and he didn't know how to save his life.
Tie paper, in the final analysis, is an industry that fishes the yin, and it makes dead people's money.
Because of the particularity of the industry, each industry in the yin line has its own industry taboos, some of which are similar and some are different.
Those who have good deeds in modern times have also fabricated a so-called ancient four evil industries, that is, the so-called executioners, puppeteers, corpse collectors, and paper-tying people, and they have noses and eyes.
But as a person who is really engaged in the underworld, these taboos are not stories, but real life and death lines, and once many taboos are touched, it is life and death.
But don't underestimate these industries just because they can't be on the table!
When I was a child, I once heard my grandfather say that I used to have a friend Lao Li, who was also a yin walker, who was in the coffin business in the next village.
Because the craftsmanship is better, the coffins in ten miles and eight towns are all ordered by him.
At that time, the production conditions were relatively poor, and the coffins were all handmade, and if you wanted to order the coffin built by Lao Li, you had to book it a few months or even a year in advance!
Yes, you heard it right, coffins have to be agreed in advance!
It is not easy to build a coffin, although Lao Li also brings apprentices, but those apprentices mainly work.
The key part is still Lao Li himself, because the business is better, so in order to catch up with the work, Lao Li often has to work until midnight, and then rest directly in the coffin shop, or even lie directly on the coffin lid to sleep, but the coffin must not lie down!
Lao Li has learned a lesson in this regard!
In the past, when Lao Li just learned the craft from his father, he was young and bold and ignorant, although his father had already told him a thousand times, he still didn't take it to heart.
Once when my father went out on business, he was busy in the store by himself, and he slept directly in the store after being late.
In winter, lying on the coffin lid and feeling the air leaking everywhere, it was very cold, so he got into the coffin that had just been made and was ready to be delivered the next day to sleep.
Not long after he fell asleep, he heard someone knocking on the coffin. Lao Li sat up from the coffin in a daze and looked, oops, it was actually an old lady.
