Chapter 9: Halloween Night
So how can a trash can be blown over by a strong wind?
I saw that Qin Zhi wanted to go back and pick up the trash can, but I didn't know why, so I blurted out: "Don't go, it always feels weird, let's go to the Innocent Dao Pavilion soon." ”
However, Qin Zhi felt that it was nothing, and seeing that he was about to bend down to hold the trash can, an old blue truck suddenly rushed out of front and crashed towards Qin Zhi.
I was in a hurry to stick my head out of the car window and shouted, "Qin Zhi, if you don't leave, I won't tell you about Comrade Lin Dashan again!" ”
After shouting, these words were indeed effective, Qin Zhi immediately withdrew his hand and hurriedly returned to the car.
Only I saw a person squatting there next to the garbage can to pick up ashes at some point, and every ash that came to his hand turned into a penny in that thing's hand.
And the old blue truck that rushed out just now also disappeared without a trace.
I couldn't help but be frightened and asked Qin Zhi to hurry up and drive, thinking to myself what day it was today? When you go out, you should read the yellow calendar.
In this way, Qin Zhi drove for ten minutes, and finally found the parking lot near the Dalu District, and after stopping the car, I looked at no one around, and it was very quiet, so that I subconsciously grabbed the red charm in my pocket.
Then ask all the way to the location of the Innocence Pavilion, and you can reach it by crossing the road in front.
The more I walked through the intersection, the more I felt that the street was too deserted.
"It's only 7:15 p.m. at this time, and the street should be quite lively, no matter how bad it is, there will be people passing by."
"It's strange that there isn't anyone tonight."
Qin Zhi followed me and muttered suspiciously, making me feel the same way.
But after crossing the road, I began to see people coming and going, squatting on the side of the road, burning paper and coins in the brazier.
I saw this superstitious scene that Qin Zhi couldn't help frowning, and at the same time, he was a little drumming in his heart, wondering if it would be Halloween, right?
Speechless, it's really dangerous for me to come out on this day.
Then I saw that the long queue around me was full of old people and some middle-aged people burning paper by the basin, and they were still reading something, probably telling their deceased relatives!
After turning another corner, I saw the signboard of the Wuxian Daoist Hall not far away, and a middle-aged man wearing a Qing Dynasty braid was waiting at the intersection.
When he saw me, he stopped me and said, "Is the little brother L.A." Saying that, he glanced coldly at Qin Zhi beside me, and seemed to be very repulsive.
"Yes, the Taoist made an appointment with me last month to meet tonight and talk about something."
As soon as I finished speaking, the middle-aged man made a gesture of invitation to me, and then followed him for a while, and Qin Zhi began to shake a little behind me.
I turned to look at him in disbelief and saw that his face was a little pale.
"What's wrong? Under the weather? ”
"It's okay, it's just that my head suddenly hurts a little, and it's an old problem that I often stay up late."
Qin Zhi said a little reluctantly, so I had to stop and walk over to help him, but at this time, the middle-aged man coldly reminded: "Little brother, are you nosy on the road?" ”
"Don't you look at the yellow calendar before going out, today is March 3 Halloween, people who are a little taboo will not go out on this night, and your friend has not yet worn anti-evil items, and he still has a lot of yin qi on his body, which should be the reason for frequent contact with dead people."
The middle-aged man was right, and it made me look a little different.
But what he said next left me a little confused.
"Are there any of you who have eaten heavy food that day, if so, please go to the Land Temple to grab some ash soaked water and drink it." He pointed to the Earth Temple a few steps away, which reminded me of the hot cocoa Qin Zhi had drunk before he came.
Eighty percent is this problem, I think it is important to solve Qin Zhi's problem first.
But Qin Zhi stared at me mockingly and said, "No need, I'm still waiting for you to tell me everything, and I'll call an ambulance myself." ”
I knew that he was very repulsive to superstitious people, and maybe he had a special aversion, but it was true, and I did see a ghost just now.
And I saved him without Qin Zhi's knowledge.
In the end, I had to ask the middle-aged man to take us in, and the middle-aged man silently led me and Qin Zhi into the Innocent Dao Hall.
The smell of incense in the hall is very strong, and the voices of people are boiling, which is very lively.
He took me and Qin Zhi to the statue of the Three Holy Ancestors enshrined in the Dao Hall.
"Go burn incense for the grandfather." The middle-aged man handed me three sticks of incense, and I lit them up and down as usual, but it was Qin Zhi's turn to resolutely refuse.
Let me see the displeasure in the middle-aged man's eyes becoming more and more solemn, and he stretched out his hand to force Qin Zhi to incense.
"Poof! Laugh at! The middle-aged man was splashed with a basin of water in the back, and the whole person was wet, and after a while, his body suddenly shrank into a ball, floating to Qin Zhi's feet like a piece of paper. Frightened, Qin Zhi jumped on the spot.
A real person suddenly becomes a paper figure!
Let Qin Zhi, who witnessed all this, face pale at me, and I am the same, retreating.
Although I believe that ghosts exist, I am just an ordinary man who is easily scared to deal with all of this.
"It's... Is this an illusion, or is it magic? ”
"Should.. Probably not. ”
Qin Zhi and I both became a little frightened, but a Taoist boy came over and calmly put away the paper figure, and reminded me in a childish voice: "If you enter the hall, there will be a matter of paper figures, it should be a matter of piety, the paper people are extremely believers of the master and the ancestor, and it is easy to get out of control, you should pay attention next time." ”
"Thank you, can you take me to the Wordless Daoist?"
"Yes, but Master said that he will be out before 12 o'clock today, so you can wait in the rest hall for the time being."
Saying that, Daotong greeted me and Qin Zhi, who didn't react, into the rest hall, which was very classical, looking ancient like the dojo, and there was a dry well in front of the door.
Before closing, Daotong reminded me again: "Remember that it is not advisable to go out more on today's day, you have to wait until after 12 o'clock to go out." ”
After saying that after my Daotong closed the door, he left me and Qin Zhi in this room illuminated by oil lamps, surrounded by scriptures and books, and a golden sword with a red mane hanging on the wall.
I looked a little curious and walked over to take it down, but Qin Zhi covered his stomach and snorted: "I have a stomachache, I don't know if there is a toilet?" ”
It's really a coincidence, and I can't go out at all at this time.
I reminded him, "Bear with me, we'll talk about it after 12 o'clock." ”
"I can't help it, I'm about to pull it out!" Qin Zhi covered his stomach anxiously and walked towards the door, and I was also in a hurry to walk over to stop him.
"Get out of the way! I'm about to pull my pants on. ”
"Don't let me, you listen to me once, it's really dangerous, didn't you see the paper man just now."
"That could be a trick! Just let me go out for a while and I'll be back soon! ”
I insisted on refusing to let it, and the two had an argument for a while, which made Qin Zhi's stomach hurt a little and he lost his mind and was about to kick the door.
Outside the door, there was just the tune of Latihu, and the woman's cold and clear singing voice came frequently...
Outdoor doors, doors come open...
The door opened, the dry well meeting, the two eloped into a show, and jumped into the well one after another.
Come on! Come on, Lang Jun, open the door quickly.
This is... What is the situation!
