Chapter 12: The Woman Who Burned Paper Money
Qian Wancang remembered a poem: Zhuang Shengxiao dreams of butterflies.
The meaning of the poem is probably as follows: Zhuangzi had a dream in which he dreamed that he had become a butterfly, but when he woke up, he suddenly became confused, and he did not know whether he was awake or if the butterfly had dreamed that he had become what he is now, and he couldn't tell whether he was a Zhuangzi or a butterfly for a while.
Qian Wancang faintly felt that this book "Zhuang Sheng's Dream Building" should have something to do with this poem.
Because they all have the word "Zhuangsheng", and they are all related to dreams.
Of course, this is just a far-fetched guess.
In order to learn more about "Zhuang Sheng's Dream Building Technique", Qian Wancang took out his mobile phone and planned to search for relevant information on the Internet.
Unfortunately, the phone has been turned off because it is out of battery.
"Broken phone, battery life is really poor!"
Qian Wancang complained, put the phone back in his pocket, then walked to the window, looked out, and found that there was no one outside, and the thin middle-aged woman still did not appear.
"Forget it, let's talk about it tomorrow."
Qian Wancang shook his head, not wanting to wait any longer.
I didn't come for two hours, and it was getting dark, so I guess I wouldn't be here today.
Qian Wancang returned to the table, picked up a pen, and wrote down his phone number on a sticky note.
Then he picked up "Zhou Gong's Dream Interpretation" and "Zhuang Sheng's Dream Building", opened the door of the clinic and walked out.
Standing at the door, Qian Wancang looked around again, but still didn't see the figure of the eldest sister.
Then he turned around and put a sticky note with his phone number on the door so that someone could come to the clinic and find him.
After locking the wooden door of the clinic, Qian Wancang strode towards his home.
"Huh?"
As soon as Qian Wancang entered the community, he smelled a strong smell of fireworks.
He thought someone's house was on fire, and immediately looked around.
Fortunately, there is no smoke coming out of several buildings in the community, and it should not be a family fire.
But where does the smell of fireworks come from?
Puzzled, Qian Wancang found that next to the sewer manhole cover not far away, there was a pile of sparkling ashes.
Come to think of it, the smell of fireworks is emitted by this pile of ashes.
Qian Wancang didn't think much about it, took a step, and continued to walk home.
To his astonishment, there was a pile of ash next to the three or four sewer manhole covers he passed.
What surprised him even more was that these sewer manhole covers were also pasted with a yellow rune paper, just like the kind of rune paper used to exorcise demons in the movie.
"Who's doing it?"
Qian Wancang muttered to himself.
At this moment, he saw a woman squatting in front of their apartment building, throwing the golden paper ingots into a pile of fire, and still chanting words in her mouth.
After getting closer, Qian Wancang found that the place where this person burned paper was next to the sewer manhole cover, and on the sewer manhole cover, there was still that yellow rune paper.
It seems that the previous piles of ashes were burned by this person.
Qian Wancang was a little puzzled, why did this person burn paper money for the sewer manhole cover?
He had seen someone burn paper money for the God of Wealth, and he had seen someone burn paper money for the land public, but he had never seen anyone burn paper money for a sewer manhole cover.
Could it be that someone believes in the god of sewers? Or is it the god of manhole covers?
Qian Wancang felt a little funny.
Of course, in such a serious and pious paper money burning scene, he can't laugh out of it anyway.
Holding back a smile, Qian Wancang looked at this person with a serious face.
I saw that this person was about thirty years old, with a thin body and a haggard face, like a housewife who had been devastated by life.
Qian Wancang seems to have seen this woman, and she should also be a neighbor in the same community, but she is not very familiar with her.
Since you are not familiar with it, there is no need to bother people to burn paper money for sewer manhole covers.
Qian Wancang was about to leave.
But at this moment, he saw a thrilling scene.
The woman who burned paper money actually took the burning paper money and drew circles on the sewer manhole cover......
And he drew circle after circle, circle after circle, and there were words in his mouth!
Qian Wancang knows that a lot of combustible gases, such as methane, are produced in sewers.
If these gases do not drift smoothly into the atmosphere, but accumulate in the sewer, they are very likely to cause an explosion if they encounter an open flame.
Some time ago, there was a tragic incident.
It is said that there is a child who embeds firecrackers in the exhaust hole of the sewer manhole cover and then lights it.
Tragically, the firecracker fuse ignited so fast that the child exploded before he could run away.
What's even more tragic is that the firecracker that exploded ignited the combustible gas in the sewer, and a violent explosion occurred, which blew up the manhole cover instantly, and the child was also blown into the sky by the top of the manhole cover, seriously injured......
Qian Wancang just felt that the woman was burning paper money next to the sewer manhole cover, and it would be much safer if there was still a certain distance from the sewer manhole cover.
But at this moment, she actually took the burning paper money and drew circles on the manhole cover.
It's just a matter of playing with your life!
Once Mars comes into contact with flammable gas in the sewers, the consequences are unimaginable......
"Big sister, be careful of the combustible gas in the sewer!"
Qian Wancang suddenly shouted.
But as if she hadn't heard, the woman still held the burning paper money, drew circles on the manhole cover, and said something in her mouth.
"It's going to explode!"
Qian Wancang took a few steps back and said with a look of horror.
Finally, the woman removed the paper money, which was about to burn out, from the manhole cover and threw it into the pile of ashes.
Qian Wancang knew that the woman's actions were not because of his advice, but because she had completed a ritual.
Immediately afterwards, the woman folded her hands and knelt on the ground in prayer.
Qian Wancang stood aside, quietly waiting for the woman to do a complete set of rituals.
After two minutes, the woman let out a long breath, then pressed to the ground and struggled to her feet.
It should be that I knelt for too long, and my legs were a little numb.
"This eldest sister, your behavior just now is very dangerous, it is very likely to ignite the combustible gas in the sewer, once the combustible gas is ignited, the consequences are unimaginable!"
Qian Wancang said with a serious face.
"It's over, it's over, rest assured."
The woman had a smile on her face and a relaxed face, as if she had completed a difficult task.
She didn't say anything more, picked up a white woven bag, and walked into the distance.
Looking at the woman's figure, Qian Wancang sighed and shook his head gently.
Luckily, nothing happened, and if something did, the sewer gods wouldn't be able to save you!
Turning around and entering the unit building, Qian Wancang took the elevator and quickly returned home.
First, he found a charging cable and charged his phone.
Then, he moved out of his laptop, opened the search page, and typed five words into the search box: Zhuang Sheng Dream Building.
After a second, the search results were displayed on the computer screen.
However, Qian Wancang searched the entire screen and did not see any information related to "Zhuang Sheng's Dream Building".
Could it be that this "Zhuang Sheng Dream Building Technique" is really a long-lost magic cheat?
There is no information about it even on the vast Internet?!
Qian Wancang picked up "Zhuang Sheng's Dream Building Technique" and gently turned the first page.
I saw four lines of words written on the yellowed paper.
First line: Table of contents
Second line: Book I: Charm Language
Third line: Book II: Blinding
Line 4: Book II: Soul Mastery
