Chapter 340: The Night Watch
At about eight o'clock in the evening, Pumpkin and I left the hotel and drove to the vicinity of the Eastern Suburbs Cemetery.
I parked the car, took my things, and pumpkin and I got out of the car.
There is also a doorman at the entrance of the Eastern Suburbs Cemetery at night, so we can't go directly through the gate. After all, it's night, and no one will come here at night to worship.
However, the area of the cemetery in the eastern suburbs is still quite large, and the four sides are surrounded by iron fences. Although the fence is quite high, there are some places that have been broken without maintenance. From the east side of the cemetery, we found the broken fence and entered the cemetery.
Not far away, there is a large area of tombstones.
I turned on the Cursed Eye, and the pumpkin followed me right behind without a flashlight. The cemetery was so quiet that you could hear the chirping of bugs from time to time. Those tombstones, looking black from a distance, look like small people standing there.
In addition, the humidity at night is a bit heavy and cold. So, when I walked into the cemetery with Pumpkin, I felt a little uneasy.
"It's a horrible place." Pumpkin muttered quietly.
I glanced around a few times, but I didn't notice the evil spirit, which meant that there were no ghosts on this side of the cemetery.
In this way, for fear of being discovered by others, Pumpkin and I cautiously walked along the gap aisle in the middle of a tombstone towards the small building of the "ashes depository".
After walking for a short time, the pumpkin accidentally tripped over a tombstone, breaking a little skin on his thigh.
"Are you alright?" I asked worriedly.
Pumpkin shook her head: "It's okay, Brother Qin, let's keep walking." ”
But after a few minutes of walking, the pumpkin suddenly tugged at my clothes.
"Brother Qin, squat down first!" Pumpkin said in a sneering voice.
I was a little confused, but I squatted down anyway.
"What's wrong?" I whispered to the pumpkin.
The pumpkin pointed to a tombstone in the middle of the first few rows, and the bird whispered to me, "Brother Qin, there is someone in front." ”
I was a little shocked in my heart, I was just looking around to see if there were any ghosts, and I really didn't notice if there was anyone here.
Following the pumpkin's gaze, I saw that there was indeed a person in front of a tombstone.
There was life in the man, and there was no doubt that he was a living person. However, he looked very strange, and he was actually crouching in front of the tombstone, and he didn't know what he was holding in his hand, and he was rubbing it against it.
Because it was facing away from us, my cursed eyes could only see his back.
It was an old man, dressed in gray, with dry palms.
He was wiping the tombstone with a rag!!
While wiping the tombstone, the old man's mouth was still muttering: "Wife, I came to see you." Look at you, your face is dirty, let me wipe it for you......"
The old man's words made my scalp tingle. Because the old man was talking to the picture on the tombstone, he rubbed his finger lightly against the face of an old woman on the photo.
"Don't worry, I won't leave you, I will always be with you. But why don't you see me? ... We've been together here for more than ten years, and even if you leave, you should let me know... Do you know that I really miss you......"
"These days, when I can't see you, my heart is very restless, and the amount of food has decreased. If it weren't for the child's car accident, I have been taking care of him, and I would have gone over to accompany you a long time ago. As I told you earlier, our eldest grandson has gone to high school and has excellent grades. In the future, I will definitely be able to get into a better university......"
The old man faced the tombstone as if he were a living person, and said a lot of things. It's mostly their family's business.
But on this big night, talking to the tombstone is really terrifying.
"Brother Qin, who is that person?" Pumpkin asked me in a whisper.
I replied, "I don't know, it's an old man." It looks like he may have missed his wife and came here. However, it seems that he often comes here. ”
Pumpkin's voice trembled when he heard my words, "No, this old man often comes to this kind of place, he can't have a problem with his spirit, right?" ... It's a cemetery after all, and it's scary. ”
The old man muttered a lot of things, as if he couldn't finish talking all night.
After thinking about it, I said to the pumpkin, "Let's go, let's get out of here first, and leave him alone." ”
But unexpectedly, I just took a step out, but I accidentally kicked something. It should be a wine bottle or something, and it seems to have been left by people who came to worship in the past.
With a "bang", the bottle made a sound.
It's quite loud. The old man turned around: "Who? Who's over there?! ”
As he spoke, the old man, as if he was not afraid of being discovered, turned on his flashlight and shone it on me and the pumpkin.
I scrambled to the ground and leaned against the pumpkin.
Oh my boy, the two of us were leaning against the tombstone, and my face was almost attached to a picture of a woman on the tombstone. The woman had a smile on her face and eyes fixed on me.
For a moment, I felt a cool breeze on my back, and I felt panicked.
"Who! Come out for me. The old man shouted at us.
Then, I heard footsteps.
Looking up slightly, I saw that the old man had walked around a few tombstones and walked towards us.
I could read his clothes clearly, and they were marked with the words "Eastern Suburbs Cemetery". Looking at the old man's dress, it should be the grave keeper of the Eastern Suburbs Cemetery, the old Du mentioned by the administrator Su Jingkou.
The old man frowned and walked slowly towards us. In less than two minutes, we will definitely be spotted.
"Brother Qin, what should we do, we can't seem to hide?" Pumpkin said with an ugly face.
I didn't say anything, thinking in my heart what to do. Ya, it's really a failure, just came over, and I'm about to show my stuffing.
What to do, what to do? I was anxious.
What neither the pumpkin nor I expected was that just as the old man was about to approach us, suddenly, several blackbirds flew out from behind a nearby tombstone.
The blackbird screamed and flew into the sky.
It's a few crows!
"Damn it, it turned out to be a crow." The old man scolded, stood still, and did not continue on our side.
Both Pumpkin and I breathed a sigh of relief.
The old man's flashlight shone in all directions, and then slowly walked towards the outside of the cemetery.
It wasn't until he was far away that Pumpkin and I sat up.
"Grandma's, it was really hanging just now." I said.
Pumpkin said, "No, it's just a few steps away." The old man takes a few more steps, and we'll be exposed. But Brother Qin, that old man is really weird, he actually spoke to the tombstone, is it possible, does he think that the person in the tombstone is still alive? ”
How is this possible!
But Pumpkin's words reminded me. When we were chatting with that Su Jing before, we also asked about this Lao Du on the side. Lao Du's name is Du Luosheng, and he has been working in the Eastern Suburbs Cemetery for many years.
And the words that Lao Du muttered out just now couldn't help but make me frown.
What did he say, he had been with his wife for many years, and said that his wife did not see him and left without informing him......
If that's the case, does that mean that his wife has communicated with him before? But people have already passed away, how can there be any more communication. That is to say, it is likely that this Durosheng wife has become a ghost. Or, his wife has not become a ghost, but her soul has remained in the yang world.
Yes, the possibility is huge.
If that's the case, how could that old Du's wife suddenly disappear. Could it be that he went to the Yin Si report and was reincarnated?
This is not right, it seems that the old man and his wife have a very deep relationship. Even if his wife becomes a ghost or a soul is stuck in the yang world, if you want to leave, you should have a communication with him.
Could it be ......
I thought of the bad point. I suspect that his wife has not left the sun. Rather, his wife is trapped somewhere, and the soul or ghost can't come out.
Combined with the previous Qi seniors, help me to divinate the hexagram, I suspect that this old man Du Luosheng's wife is likely to be one of those ghosts calculated by Qi seniors.
I am a Taoist priest of the Lushan Sect, and now the Taoism is very profound, if there is a ghost in the eastern suburbs cemetery, I will definitely be able to perceive it. But I don't feel ghosts, and why.
And Senior Qi made it very clear, saying that there are a lot of ghosts gathered in the Eastern Suburbs Cemetery.
Now I can't see even a ghost.
Does it mean that those ghosts are imprisoned in one place and cannot come out?
Suddenly, I thought of the Yin-Yang Codex.
By the way, my master and the ghost Chama Mian also mentioned it before, saying that the Yin and Yang Code can control ghosts. Does that mean that it is because of the Yin and Yang that those ghosts are controlled?
If so, what is the purpose of those ghosts being controlled?
It is definitely not possible to let the Yin and Yang Dian play its own role, unless there is a Taoist priest or a ghost of the Yin Division to urge the Yin and Yang Dictionary.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but sweat on my forehead, because I felt that this cemetery was indeed very boring.
The grave keeper Du Luosheng has already left this side.
I stood up and beckoned to Pumpkin: "Let's go, let's go to the small building." ”
Then, Pumpkin and I slowly approached the "ashes depository" of the small building.
I wondered, since the administrator Su Jing saw the little girl, and guessed according to his words, it was very likely that the little girl was a ghost. And the little girl followed him out of the building.
It can't be that the little girl's ghost is still in the room with ashes in the small building.
There is a possibility.
Soon, Pumpkin and I left the cemetery. What makes us feel strange is that the grave keeper Lao Du is gone. He had just left with a flashlight, but how could he have disappeared so quickly.
Grandma's, it worries me.
Does that mean that there is something wrong with that old man Du Rosheng?
If Du Luosheng controlled the Yin and Yang Codex, wouldn't it mean that he could control the ghosts. But after thinking about it, I still rejected this idea. On the one hand, there are the words that the old man Du Luosheng said earlier in front of the tombstone. On the other hand, he doesn't have Taoist mana at all.
Therefore, the possibility of him controlling the Yin Yang Canon of the Spiritual Weapon is almost zero.
No matter what, you still have to go to the small building to find out first.
