Chapter 39: Disappearance
After leaving Maoshan, I finally have an explanation of my promise to Yuan Daojun, calculating the time, it has been some time since we came out, and it is time to go back.
The doctor's three-day vacation had long been overdue, but fortunately, he had greeted the hospital in advance, and it would not have much impact, but I heard him say that the hospital seemed to have recently set up a new project and urgently needed his participation, so after returning to Chengdu, the doctor left in a hurry.
Since leaving Maoshan, the Taoist priest has quickly returned to his former free and uninhibited appearance, but when we asked him what was going on before, he pretended to be crazy and stupid, full of haha. Seeing that he didn't want to say, we didn't bother to ask again, anyway, he has returned to normal now.
Yuan Daojun's matter has been solved, and the Taoist priest has also been recovered, and now it is time to solve the problem of the room.
I told the Taoist priest in detail about the ghost in the middle of the night last time, but he didn't believe it, looked at me suspiciously and said, "Impossible, since the Taoist lived with you, he has quietly buried the feng shui bureau of the house around, how dare ordinary ghosts approach?" ”
This time, I didn't believe it, so the Taoist priest patted my head, pulled me into the courtyard, and pointed to a very inconspicuous eaves on the top of the door, so that I could take a closer look at what was there.
The location was near the draining pipe, because on the eaves was a protruding cement platform with several pots of flowers and plants raised by the original owner of the house, and I stared at them for a long time, and suddenly found that there was a mirror hidden behind those pots of flowers and plants.
"See, this is the town house bureau that Dao Ye specially helped you set up, the doom source on your kid is specially tricked, and it is impossible for Dao Ye to stay next to you as a nanny all the time, so I helped you set up such a bureau, although it is simple, but it can scare off most of the evil things, how about it, is it interesting?"
The Taoist priest asked me for merit with a proud face, but I still didn't believe it, so I said to him: "You don't fucking fool me, it's just a broken mirror, who knows if you put it?" In case this mirror was there in the first place, and you kid just saw it with sharp eyes, and then made up such a broken reason to fool me, if I believed you, it would really be a ghost. ”
Now the Taoist priest was not happy, without saying a word, I turned to the back of the courtyard, pointed to a few corners of the eaves for me to see, I found that the corners he pointed to were pasted with yellow talismans, just wanted to ask him what kind of talismans they were, he stretched out his foot and pulled a few times on the soil behind the courtyard wall, the soil was removed, and a brown wooden sword hilt was suddenly revealed below, although I couldn't see the lower part, but I could guess that it was a peachwood sword.
"See, it took a lot of effort for Dao Ye to get such a real guy, I was originally going to use it myself, but the last time I went to Qiao'er Yatou's house, I happened to encounter a better one, so Dao Ye took this handle as the heart of the formation, with it, plus the power of the Feng Shui Bureau, even a vicious ghost could not break in."
The Taoist priest said endlessly, and at this time, Lin Qiao'er also pulled my clothes, and said with a cautious face: "Xiaoyi, the Taoist priest didn't lie to you, I took care of the pots of flowers on the eaves before, and I didn't see the mirror on them......"
In fact, I don't need Lin Qiao'er to say, I also know that the Taoist priest didn't tell lies, on these things, the Taoist priest has his pride, and it is impossible to lie to me, the reason why I don't believe it is actually to see what the Taoist priest has done here.
"It's strange, according to what you said, it's impossible for a ghost to get close, and if it's something that even the Otaku Feng Shui Bureau can't stop, how can it be so easy to let me go? It doesn't make sense, it doesn't make sense......"
The Taoist priest also felt strange, frowned and thought about it, then walked to the window of my room and looked at it, and suddenly said that he wanted to go and see my room.
Without much thought, the three of them circled back into the courtyard and entered my room. After the last time we saw the hell, we were in a hurry to leave the next day to look for the Taoist, and I didn't even have time to put away the quilt, so everything in the room remained the same as it was when the incident happened that night.
"That's it!" I pointed out the window and continued, "She was floating motionless outside the window, and my quilt was so wet when I woke up that it almost froze me to death." ”
The Taoist priest came to the window and looked out, glanced at the bed-the bedding that had been dried, touched his chin and thought about it, and said to himself: "It's really strange, this is unreasonable, unless that thing is in the courtyard in the first place, it ......"
The Taoist priest suddenly stopped when he said this, and I was also stunned, and a bright light suddenly flashed in my mind, and the two of them shouted out a name almost at the same time: "Aqing!" ”
Ah Qing, the girl who died in an accident in Ah Ji Village, I still don't know how she died, but when she had an accident that night, I heard her voice, but at that time, because of fear, I mistook her cry for help for the confusion of evil things, so her death is actually indirectly related to me.
The Taoist priest asked strangely, "What's going on?" If you want to say that she has been following you for a day or two, how can she suddenly show her tracks to scare you? ”
I also wondered, my grandmother told me that these two ghosts had cause and effect with me, so she gave me a piece of bone for them to survive, and they had been safe all this time, how could this happen all of a sudden? It's unlikely that she had malicious intentions, after all, she had just saved me a few days ago, and if it weren't for her ghost eyes, even if there was the Apocalypse Sword, I might have died in the stalactite forest of the grotto.
Lin Qiao'er also knew about Aqing's affairs, and for this girl she had never met, the kind-hearted Lin Qiao'er was also extremely sympathetic to her, and when she talked about it at this moment, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she said to us: "Hey...... You say, could she be trying to convey some kind of message to Xiaoyi, but Xiaoyi mistook her for a ghost? ”
"Huh? Wait, don't say it's really possible! Reporter, think about it, did she have any special actions at that time? ”
When I think about it carefully, it seems that the ghost figure has only floated in front of the window all along, not to mention any special actions, and she has not even moved!
The Taoist priest sighed and said: "Alas, reporter, you are too impulsive, people are a good ghost, and it is not easy to show up to talk to you, but you don't say a word and draw your sword to cut people, if you are a Taoist, I have to run!" Okay now, you've scared people, and you're counting on her to appear again, if what she's going to tell you is very important, what will Dao Ye do if he sees you? ”
I rolled my eyes and scolded: "Fuck off, don't talk about it, in that case, everyone has to be scared to pee, if Lao Tzu has your ability, how can you be afraid of being like that?" ”
"You all don't say a word, now that things have happened, it's useless to say anything, Taoist priest, you are so powerful, find a way to communicate with her, don't those Taoist priests on TV be able to communicate with ghosts?"
"Holy, talking to ghosts? You said it easily, if an ordinary ghost Taoist set up an altar, make a method, and summon a soul to ask, it would be fine, but these two reporters are not ordinary. The ghast of the little girl in Fengyang Town has been eroded by the yin wind under the earth all the year round, and it has completely changed, and Ah Qing is even more unusual, and I don't know what happened to her when she died? Dao Ye once tried to help her overachieve, but when she was overdue, she was hindered by a strange force, that power was very terrifying, and it was entangled with her soul, and it couldn't be separated at all, unless she intended to contact us, we had no way to communicate with her. ”
The Taoist priest's words made me feel a vague sense of foreboding, Aqing's death was already weird, and now her ghost was also in trouble, and all of this seemed to stem from that strange night, closely related to the curse that recurred on my body. Could it be that there are other secrets about what happened to A-Qing that night?
Everything became more and more weird, and when it came to the curse, I suddenly remembered the old turtle, who said that I had an 'inscription' on my body when he was still locked up in the ground. Of course, I can't know if it's this inscription, but judging from the description of the old turtle at the time, he was referring to the curse of doom on me, and what happened afterwards proved that it was right, and I did release it.
I should have asked him about it, but I didn't even have a chance to ask him about it after a series of thrilling events. After that, it fell into a deep sleep, and I didn't have a chance to ask, and slowly this matter was left behind me, and if I hadn't talked about Ah Qing again today, this matter might have been completely forgotten by me.
I hurriedly went to find the old turtle, trying to find him to understand, but I couldn't find it, I couldn't help but get anxious, and then I remembered that I didn't seem to be harassed by this uncle all the way back, and I couldn't help but be surprised, and I hurriedly asked the Taoist priest if he threw that guy in Maoshan?
The Taoist priest also looked depressed, and put on an innocent look and said to us: "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, do you think the Taoist master dares to do that? That uncle doesn't even pay attention to the two Maoshan bigwigs, Yuqing Zhenren and Yuxu Zhenren, if I really throw him away, I'm afraid tomorrow the two of you will have to go to the river outside the city to catch me. ”
The Taoist priest's words also made sense, he had completely succumbed to the old turtle's yin-power, and he really didn't dare to do so. But if that's not the case, then where did the old turtle go?
Lin Qiao'er took out her mobile phone at this time, rolled her eyes at us, and said angrily: "You guys are really stupid, call, isn't your mobile phone with him, Taoist?" ”
As soon as I heard it, my heart said yes, so I hurriedly took out my mobile phone and dialed the number of the Taoist priest, and after waiting for a while, the phone was connected, and the funny voice of the old turtle came: "Hey, who?" Who's looking for uncle? ”
The old turtle's voice sounded quite happy, maybe this was the first time someone had called it, which made it feel quite novel, I was speechless in my heart, and hurriedly said: "Old... Uncle Turtle, where did you go to the old man? We thought you were lost, and we were so anxious to die. ”
"Hehe, I didn't lose it, I didn't expect that in the years when the uncle was trapped, the outside has become like this, the world is so big, the uncle has to go shopping, don't worry, the address has been written down, and when the uncle has had enough, he will naturally go back."
The old turtle's excited voice almost made me faint, the feeling of this master ran away from home, I rely on, it is a talking Wang Ba who slipped out alone, it is strange not to be caught by others, I hurriedly persuaded: "That, Uncle Turtle, you don't know much about this world, you come back first, you always want to go out, we will take you out." ”
"Shit, who wants you to bring it, damn it, speaking of this uncle, you haven't settled accounts with you yet, every time you are in a place where there are people, you have to stuff the uncle into your backpack, fuck, the uncle has to walk around this world in a dignified manner."
“……”
"By the way, a guy named Zhang Shiguo called before, saying that he was looking for help from the little Taoist, and he was sent by the uncle, you should inform the little Taoist, don't talk about it, the uncle has to gallop on his horse, quack quack......"
With a burst of ugly laughter, the phone was hung up, and the three of us froze in bewilderment, not knowing how to react.
"This ......"
I sighed, it seemed that if I wanted to figure out this matter, I could only wait for the old turtle Hongchen to return from frolicking.
Since it is hands-free, we all heard the words of the old turtle, and it said that a person named Zhang Shiguo called him for help, Zhang Shiguo, isn't that my third uncle?
Thinking of the third uncle's special work and identity, he must have a special thing to find a Taoist priest, and there has been no news of him since the last time I talked to the third uncle, so I just asked about his situation at this time, so I dialed the third uncle's number and called.
The phone rang for a long time before it was connected, and I immediately said, "Hey, third uncle, what are you doing, why did it take so long to answer?" ”
The third uncle's tone on the phone was strange and very unnatural, he asked me if the last thing had been resolved, I told him what happened, and told him that I had been cured and discharged from the hospital, and now I am home.
The third uncle snorted, and there was no follow-up, I waited for a long time and didn't wait for him to speak, I couldn't help but wonder in my heart, and asked him if he had called the Taoist priest?
The third uncle's tone was very surprised, and he asked me how I knew? I told him that the Taoist priest's mobile phone was occupied by a very domineering guy, and it was that guy who told me that you had found a Taoist priest, and the third uncle sighed, and then fell silent again.
It's so weird, could it be that something is going on?
I just wanted to ask, but the third uncle suddenly sighed and said, "Big nephew, there is one thing...... I ......"
"What's the matter, what's the matter?"
"Alas, your uncle and your father are missing!"
"What?"
I was stunned, thinking that I had misheard, and hurriedly repeated it again, until the third uncle said again: "Your uncle and your father disappeared a week ago!" ”
Now I'm completely confused, missing, what does this mean? My uncle and my father are almost a hundred years old together, how could two middle-aged people who have gone through vicissitudes suddenly disappear?
Under my questioning, the third uncle explained the reason to me.
