Chapter Twenty-Six: Do You Know the Hunchback?
When the bowl of glutinous rice was served, Shi Chonglou was still babbling, but as the conversation progressed, he didn't dare to show any emotions anymore.
And the white moon finally solved the doubts that he wanted to talk about on the road before. Rolling his eyes at me, sarcastically hiding me too deeply.
In this regard, I expressed my helplessness.
Because only by taking Gu Yu, the real evil spirit, away from Lin Yutang, can we avoid harming the innocent.
Otherwise, once you use her to sacrifice the flag there, you will inevitably be resisted desperately, and who knows how many corpses will be placed by the river.
With my begging, Wang Hong simply ignored the fritter shop, made two phone calls and entered the house, and when he came out again, he had an extra shovel in his hand.
It is not so much an iron shovel as a wooden shovel, and it is made of mulberry wood.
Before I could speak, Gu Yu had already opened his mouth timidly.
"Can you ...... Don't do that? ”
Wang Hong will not give her a good face and scold in response.
"It's dawn, and you're still dreaming? Don't dig your grave and wait for you to harm others again? ”
"If you want me to say that since I have taken advantage of it, I will say goodbye to the past. Seeing that you are kind-hearted, you can't bear to let you go up in smoke, you also know each other a little, obediently use yourself to sacrifice a flag, and you won't lose anything? If you really tear your face, do you think there is still room in this world? ”
"I ......"
"Gu Yu, since I brought you out, it means that I want you to change your ways. And you should think the same way in your heart, otherwise how could you break out of the cocoon and turn into a butterfly? ”
As early as when Gu Yu helped us stop those cooks, I had already completely seen through her identity, so I kept pretending to be confused.
First, she was worried that she would become angry after the demolition, and help the evil spirit trap us inside.
Second, our two families have a rule, which belongs to the rules of the spirit master, don't kill the spirit object easily until the last resort.
Gu Yu, I have to try to save.
And, she's worth it for me too.
If it weren't for her conscience and good thoughts, she wouldn't have laid down the outer mother bureau and used the qi of heaven and earth to strengthen her body, so as to get rid of the old shell with no face.
This shows that she is eager for a new life.
As for causing trouble, it was really helpless for her.
After all, the previous body was an evil spirit, and many things were beyond the control of her, a good spirit who had not been born for a long time.
That being said, after all, she broke out of the body of an evil spirit, and after all, she was a new life sought by the mother bureau outside.
In a way, the two hills, the dense woods, the towering embankments, and the rushing rivers were her mother.
The embankment is like a woman's open legs, the purpose is to let the yin and yang qi better pour in, so as to help her give birth to a good baby.
And the hills that stand side by side can become the granary of her baby.
The dense woods can lay down peach blossoms and confuse evil spirits, otherwise the careful calculations will inevitably be exposed.
As for the rushing river, it not only symbolizes the liquid of pleasure of evil spirits, but also the source of Gu Yu's sanity.
That river, for the use of all people, allows her to feel the fireworks in the world, and at the same time, it can also wash away the lustful thoughts instilled into her by evil spirits.
"In the child-mother game, I chose to believe in you, and now and in the future, I will still believe in you."
In the end, Gu Yu nodded at me.
Hearing this, Wang Hong beckoned to the house: "You two don't get out yet, do you want the old lady to do manual work alone?" Do you have any sympathy, my mother is now pregnant. ”
Hey......
Li Cripple walked out with a smile, and immediately lowered his face when he saw me.
"Little rabbit, go back and tell your grandfather that Lao Tzu is not finished with him."
"Come on, you know how to play tricks, do you really have the ability to find two knives to fight?"
The one-eyed watchmaker came out and smiled at me.
"Cut...... Who is still fighting these days? ”
"If you can't beat it, you can't beat it, what kind of big-tailed wolf is it?"
"I can't beat him, but I can survive him, anyway, Lao Tzu is younger than the second knife, and he will slowly consume it. In this year, whoever dies late is the master. ”
"If you two talk nonsense again, the old lady will shoot you to death now."
Wang Hong said, and one person kicked in the past: "Remember, you two went to Lin Yutang to destroy those two mounds, and the old lady went to the river to take a bath, and dared to peek at me and gouge out your eyes." ”
"What do you have to look at?" Li lame muttered.
"That's it, the two knives have put you to sleep, let's see what's wrong?"
At this time, I realized that the usually serious watchmaker is also a sanctimonious person.
It seems that there is not a single good bird on this street except me.
"No, let's go first, you prepare some food and drinks in the evening. Reward is secondary, the main thing is not to be cheap, so as not to harm your future business. ”
"I know, I'll be ready to be rich."
They left, and we were full for this meal.
"Let's go, go home."
I didn't lead the way to lead the way, but I didn't want them to see the letter.
After seeing Wang Hong's methods, I had to pay attention to it.
"Damn, this is also called home, and it's almost the same as calling it a nest."
After entering the door, Shi Chonglou spat first.
"If you can't get used to it, get out, who is the same as you."
Ever since the signing of the letter of entry, it has been regarded as private property by White Moon.
In addition, we have the reality of husband and wife in Lin Yutang, so naturally we will not allow others to belittle everything about this place and about me.
Hey......
Shi Chonglou sneered: "It's a joke, why are you still serious?" ”
"Come in."
I opened the door, defused the awkward little episode, and motioned for them to sit down, and then went to the back room to pull out the box under the bed.
This was left to me by my grandfather, and I never had time to open it, but I believe that the flag that belongs to me is placed in it.
Sure enough, as soon as I opened it, I saw a dazzling white.
After taking it out and unfolding it, I saw the five-color thread crochet trim.
Two big characters of dragons flying and phoenixes dancing, stacked up and down.
- Lingdang!
This is the business of the two of us, and this is how I will make a living in the future.
Later, when the flag is sacrificed, I can hang it at the street corner.
And when the flag that has been down for 18 years is erected, the two companies can reopen after nearly ten years of trading.
At that point, I will be able to open the letter that was ripped from the door and earn my first pot of gold.
When it comes to sacrificial flags, we have to mention family history.
Our two families have a long history, evolved from the surname Ji, descended from the Yellow Emperor, and belong to the name of the country.
In the era of the feudal dynasty, there is no way to verify what my ancestors did.
Anyway, since the Republic of China, it has been a pawnshop business.
It's just that my pawnshop is very different from the one on the market.
They are righteous and yang; And we are evil and yin.
To put it bluntly, all of the things I collect in my pawnshop are not serious things.
But it's ...... Something that can kill people!
For example, the jewelry worn by the dead, such as the evil things in the murderous house, and the ominous objects dug out of the big deep pit.
In a word, we accept all the evil things.
Serious pawnshops, the gatekeeper is the court; My pawnshop is in charge of Xiangling.
As the name suggests, the phase of the artifact seeks the spirit, so as to make a proper disposal of the artifact.
What can be made with grievances is put up and adjusted, which is called nurturing the spirit, such as those objects in the West Wing.
If there is no cure, use the corresponding method to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, which is called killing the spirit, such as the faceless ghost.
In a word, distinguish between good and evil, and make the best use of things.
This bite of rice is not so easy to eat, but it is indeed delicious!
Walking out with the flag in both hands, I motioned to Bai Yue to help Gu Yu tidy up her makeup.
"I, what am I going to do?"
Seeing me approaching step by step, Gu Yu couldn't help but get nervous.
"You don't need to do anything, just lie down."
With that, I handed the other corner of the flag to Bai Yue and motioned for her to unfold it to help cover Gu Yu's body.
The flag was large enough to cover her entire body.
After it was done, I gently stretched out my right hand and hung it ten centimeters above Gu Yu's body.
"Don't move, it'll be over soon."
Seeing Gu Yu nodding, I took a deep breath and walked away with my right hand.
Everywhere you go, there is a looming pattern on the flag, like a rubbing.
It was a good ten minutes before I stopped, almost soaking wet.
Fortunately, everything went well, and Gu Yu's shadow had been completely depicted on it, lifelike.
As I sprayed onto it, the shadow vanished.
Seeing that Shi Chonglou was extremely curious, and seeing Gu Yu worried, I had no choice but to explain.
"Sacrificing flags is the rule of my two families. Each spirit master has to imprint its spirit marks on the banner. One is to engrave the spirit of a lifetime, and the other is to play a role in tracing back to the roots. In the future, if any engraved spirit causes trouble, it will be easy to find and pursue, and that's all. ”
"No, not exactly, right?"
After glancing at Gu Yu, Bai Yue asked purposefully: "In my opinion, this flag should have other functions, right?" ”
I understood what Bai Yue meant, it was nothing more than giving Gu Yu a kick down in case she was dishonest, so I nodded.
"That's right, there are indeed some other functions, just take the engraved spirit as a disaster, as long as I destroy the spirit marks on the flag, then the spirit will also be destroyed, like this." When the words fell, I pinched the trick with my right hand and gently flicked it where the shadow of Gu Yu was engraved.
Yes......
The cry of pain sounded, and Gu Yu was already curled up and fell to the ground, his face full of pain.
"Maybe, maybe it's heavier, are you okay?"
"No, no......"
Gu Yu looked at me like a ghost and hid back.
"Let's go, I'll show you around this home, and let you know where to go and where not to go."
Bai Yue was like a hostess, and she didn't give Shi Chonglou and Gu Yu a chance to refuse at all, and took them directly to the backyard.
Seeing them leave, I also pulled out the letter.
I have to prepare food and drinks later, but I don't have any in my pocket, so it's a serious thing to find a way to get money.
The letter was opened, and I was stunned after reading the first sentence.
It is both puzzled and uneasy.
"Excuse me, do you know what a hunchbacked man is?"
