Chapter 6 Tracing the Roots
Fortunately, after a night of worry, there was no danger and no accidents happened.
As soon as it was dawn in the morning, Brother Hu walked out of the supermarket cubicle, looking like he hadn't slept all night, and he was still holding an extremely old book in his hand.
He walked up to me with a mouthful of words: "You horseback Tang monk statue, I finally found out what's going on." ”
I will be skeptical, Brother Tiger 1510 stated to me that this Tang monk statue is generally tattooed after becoming a Buddha, but now the Tang monk statue behind me is before becoming a Buddha.
This is destined to make me go through 9981 difficulties, if I can finally get through these 81 difficulties, not to mention becoming a sage, at least in the next life, I will definitely have no worries about food and clothing, and live a long life.
Brother Hu's words, aren't they exactly the same as what the Taoist priest told me before?
I think this guy must be fooling around again, turning around and leaving.
At this time, he spoke: "There is a cause and there must be an effect, everything is destined, and it is no coincidence that you came to my store." ”
However, at this moment, I was so angry at my bad luck that I was determined to leave this hellish place.
Don't talk so much about me, I don't believe there is no way to get rid of it!
After all, nothing happened all night, and the fear in my heart had been firmly suppressed by anger.
Brother Tiger saw that I was iron-hearted, and he didn't say anything nonsense, so he took out a piece of crystal clear white jade.
"I was originally the last Taoist priest of Zhengyi, but the Taoist system in the world has declined, I was born stupid, and I can only get an errand to open a store in the Yin and Yang worlds."
"Now take out this heirloom and hook Chen Xuanyu, as long as you work in my shop, this piece of Xuanyu can play a role and protect you from all kinds of demons and monsters."
Seeing that Brother Tiger was not joking, and his face was very serious, I paused.
What is the difference between this set of rhetoric and the nonsense in the mouth of the charlatans? But I was attracted by the piece of Gou Chen Xuanyu in Brother Hu's hand.
The crystal clear white jade is extremely transparent, and I don't know if it's my dazzle or what, the white jade in my sight actually flashes with an indescribable light.
I hesitated, hesitated.
The strange thing is that according to my original approach, I should have directly refused, turned around and left.
After all, I grew up a staunch atheist.
But since the statue of the Tang monk on horseback tattooed on the back, strange things have happened one after another, and the encounters in the past two days have become even more bizarre.
I had to believe it. More importantly, if I lose this job, where will I go with all the money I have?
Eventually, I nodded, and cut a small cut in my thumb, and bright red blood beads rolled out and dripped onto the white jade.
The transparent white jade was really mysterious, and the blood beads dripped on it, but it slowly faded and disappeared in two or three seconds, as if it had been digested by it.
After the contract was concluded, I didn't have any special feelings, but Brother Hu said that I had completed the contract, and from then on, I was protected by Gou Chen Xuanyu.
"Will the female ghost in red still haunt me?"
Brother Tiger nodded and said, "That's right, she will continue to pester you, but you are sheltered, so you don't have to worry as before." ”
I finally breathed a sigh of relief in my heart, but the gloom had not yet dissipated.
According to Brother Hu's statement, I read the memory of the female ghost in red, and I got this reason, if I think about it, I need to complete this effect.
This fruit probably refers to the fact that I am going to help the ghost in red but am angry.
Brother Hu exclaimed: "That's right, you have a very high level of understanding. ”
It's just that what's the use of thinking about it, I don't know where to start at the moment, how do I know the origin of this female ghost in red? Why did he die tragically, refused to disperse for a long time, and insisted on staying in the world?
Brother Hu knew my doubts, and he smiled and said, "You are destined to be destined for me, and of course I will not sit idly by and watch your affairs." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he closed the door of the supermarket and led me to the cubicle in the supermarket.
The cubicle was only about twenty square meters, dimly lit, and a red sandalwood table that looked like it was a few years old was placed with a few burning incense candles.
The walls of the room were covered with all kinds of yellow sigils, and it looked like that.
"Although I am not good at learning, relying on the various ancient books left by my ancestors, it is not a problem to help you find out some clues about the female ghost in red." Brother Tiger patted his chest and assured me.
I did as he asked and sat down on top of a blanket on the ground.
Then he picked up a piece of yellow rune paper on the red sandalwood table, the brush in his hand was stained with cinnabar, brushed a few times to draw a rune, and turned around and patted me on the chest.
"You are being targeted by this female ghost in red, and you are haunted by evil spirits, and this talisman can find clues about this female ghost's evil spirit."
As soon as the words fell, Brother Tiger once again divided five by two and drew a talisman seal, but this time it didn't hit me.
He took out a compass, chattered endlessly, and then slapped the drawn talisman in his hand to the bottom of the compass.
At first, the compass didn't react, but then the pointer swirled for a while, and it was impossible to tell which direction it was going, and it shook violently.
Brother Tiger chattered more frequently, but I could see that he was obviously a little overwhelmed, and beads of sweat slowly slid down his forehead.
This state lasted for three minutes, and after three minutes, the hands on the compass finally stopped shaking and pointed in a certain direction.
After experiencing these three minutes, Brother Hu actually seemed to have collapsed, sweating profusely, and he was really not good at learning.
Fortunately, in the end, the source of the ghost of the woman in red was found.
Fengnan Village, an off-the-beaten-track village on the southern outskirts of S City, has not been able to retain young people since S City was urbanized ten years ago.
Over time, there are only some ancient old men left in Fengnan Village, and I am afraid that in another ten years, this place will really be completely deserted.
Brother Hu and I sat in the car for a while before arriving at Fengnan Village.
The tiled houses here are intersected and scattered, and the terrain is rugged, and it is clear that you can see it at a glance, but you have to take a few turns to get there.
An old man on crutches walked in front of him, with a mouth full of teeth, sparse to the extreme, with a hunched waist and a little cloudy eyes.
As soon as the old man saw us, he said, "It's been a long time since there have been outsiders in the village......
I thought to myself that if it weren't for the woman in red, I wouldn't have come to this lifeless village.
According to the old man's mouth, his name is Zhang Erdan, and he is a native of Fengnan Village.
As soon as I heard it, I was interested, so the old man should know about the ghost in red.
It's just that it is obviously not a wise move to bring up a topic such as murder as soon as I open my mouth, so I decided to start with the population records of Fengnan Village.
After learning the location of the village chief's house from Zhang Erdan's mouth, Brother Hu and I were not in a hurry, now that the sun is scorching, our stomachs have begun to growl, and we have to solve the stomach problem first.
There are no restaurants in Fengnan Village, so Brother Hu and I had to walk to the urban-rural junction not far away, and find a noodle restaurant at random.
The noodle shop business is obviously not good, and the owner looks to be in his fifties and sixties, but the striking thing is that the owner only has one ear.
