Chapter 38 The Roadside Ghost on Wang Yong's Body
July 1972
It's another round of Gengzi year, floods, and droughts.
A man in a tunic has his back to a table, on which is a newspaper from the summer of that year, July 1972, with the words "cultural relics unearthed from the Mawangdui Han Tomb" written on it, and in front of the newspaper is a wax-sealed object, small and round.
The man was holding a hexagonal object in his right hand, slightly larger than the palm of his hand, like a stone, with a deep reddish-brown color, and its surface was devoid of any pattern.
He turned around and placed the stone plate lightly on the table, but a layer of black scorch marks appeared on the palm of his hand and fingers, as if he had been burned by something.
There was a sudden noise outside the door, and he walked out, and when he came back, he found that the things on the table were missing, not only the six-sided stone plate, but also the wax seal pill not far from it.
Quanmin community, street restaurant.
After doing these things, it was already noon, Luo Baifan and Yuanyou found a small restaurant casually, and asked for two fried cakes with shredded pork, a cold cucumber and stewed elbow, Luo Baifan still wanted to drink, but was stopped by Yuanyou,
"If you're still driving, don't drink."
"No one cares, it's okay, and the traffic law doesn't say that driving and drinking will be punished, right?"
(The criminal punishment for drunk driving in China began on May 1, 2011, and there were no relevant criminal administrative penalties before; In other words, before that, driving after drinking alcohol would not be punished as long as there was no accident. The time period of this article is 1997)
Luo Baifan came up with ruffianism, don't look at him as a soldier before, but after being a public security officer for so many years, sometimes he is unruly.
"How many examples do you ask me to give, have you forgotten? In 1995, the star who said cross talk, called Lausanne, that was a drunk driver who died in a car accident, and a person I met some time ago, her husband drank and killed someone, and the soul of the person who was hit and killed followed, that was called a bad luck, and once, a young man who was drunk driving, drove 150 miles, and hit the cement pillar directly, and the inertia pulled the person's arm and body apart, and the blood was on the driver's seat with a thick layer, and there was ....."
Luo Baifan was excited and waved his hand.
"Alright, alright, I'm not drinking, okay? If you talk about it for a while, I won't be able to eat anything. β
Yuanyou smiled, and at this time the waiter brought the cold dishes.
Luo Baifan took a bite of cucumber, crisp and very refreshing,
"Today is a big catch! You've got a house, and I've found important clues! β
Yuanyou ate the slippery stewed elbow, "How did you connect the two things?" β
Luo Baifan also took a bite of his elbow, his eyes lit up, "This elbow is really good, delicious!" He said when he finished chewing.
"It's a coincidenceβ" So he probably made his guess and connected it all together.
The food has almost been eaten, Yuanyou said after listening.
"Your intuition is really powerful, your insight is really sharp, and you are worthy of being a criminal policeman. So what's next? β
Luo Baifan looked at his watch, "Don't you want to go and see Wang Yong?" Let's go! β
Yuanyou picked up the real estate certificate file bag, Luo Baifan put on his coat, and said: "The house has also been bought, do you plan to decorate more and clean up the things inside?"
"Probably decorate it, the things inside, I'll do it for them when I'm free these days, speaking of which, I've been quite busy lately, and I took a difficult job yesterday, and it's a little tricky."
Luo Baifan heard that it was tricky, looked at Yuanyou and said, "Tell me."
"Does the big hospital in Heguan District know? There is a Wang Sichuan barbecue restaurant nearby, which is quite famous. β
"I know, although the barbecue restaurant is far away, many people go to eat, the skewers are good, I have been there once, the store is very special, like the deer in front of the ancient military camp (zhΓ i), the big pointed pile is facing forward, it looks very powerful.
It is said that opposite his house is the hospital mortuary, and the shopkeeper is looking for the feng shui that the master gives the cloth, don't tell me, this master is you. β
Yuanyou snorted coldly, "If you find me, can something else happen?" I don't know which two knives they were looking for before, the pattern has changed, the sharp stakes have provoked the resentment, the name is given, Wang Sihe died in vain and died in the same voice, his family's sharp stakes are strung to death, the lawsuit is not counted, the business is also affected, look for me to crack it. β
"And what's going on? I don't understand you in the god and ghost world, but I think they found the right person this time, so it's not dangerous, right? β
"I haven't been to the site yet, so it shouldn't be a big problem."
"Then you have to be careful, money is a small matter, and safety is the most important thing."
"Hmm!"
Luo Baifan's car passed through the downtown area, looking at the pedestrian street from a distance, the crowds were endless, and seeing some shops was like giving no money for nothing, surrounded by many people rushing to buy.
This is because the Spring Festival is approaching soon, and this grand traditional festival in China will always make people crazy about buying New Year's goods on the eve of their arrival.
And their car sped by, leaving the bustle behind the car and heading towards the quiet and bleak east.
It was the Sixth Psychiatric Hospital near the foot of the mountain, commonly known as the Sixth Hospital.
Luo Baifan seemed to know the people there, said a few words, and let the car in. Yuanyou has never been to this kind of place, and he is very curious, but after taking a closer look, there is actually nothing special, it is similar to an ordinary hospital, and it may be a problem with the time period, and the hospital looks a little quiet.
They were received by a doctor surnamed Lu, who said that Wang Yong's condition in the past few years has not been very stable, sometimes good and sometimes bad, mainly because he can't sleep and needs to rely on medicine to rest, so they go in to see the situation, if the situation is stable, it's best to ask a little, don't irritate him too much.
After speaking, Dr. Lu led them to the depths of the corridor, and Yuan You noticed that the words "Focus on Mental Health" were written on the wall of the corridor, and there would be a room on both sides of the corridor, which were marked as Ward 1 and Ward 2, respectively, and they stopped until they reached the door of Ward 12 in the innermost.
Dr. Lo pushed the door in first, and they followed.
Yuanyou walked at the back, and when he saw Wang Yong, he couldn't help but be stunned.
The young man, who was just 20 years old, was skinny, with collapsed eyes, pale skin, and a shaved head, and looked like a terminally ill patient.
But this is not the reason why Yuan You was stunned, what surprised him was that Wang Yong's neck was riding a gray thing at this time, how to describe that thing, it looked like a gray cloth strip of dirt wrapped in dust.
Since the last time Yuanyou was fused into his body by an unknown thing, he has a spiritual eye, and he is very useful.
Dr. Lu called Wang Yong's name, but Wang Yong's eyes were blank, and he was wearing a hospital gown, squatting on the bed, and did not respond.
"You see, he is like this most of the time during the day, and at night, we have to give him injections, and we have to tie him up, otherwise at five o'clock in the morning, five people will not be able to hold him, and I don't know where he got so much strength when he is so thin."
Yuanyou took a step forward, getting closer to Wang Yong, and the thing on his neck seemed to be sensitive, and moved, and Wang Yong also moved.
Luo Baifan glanced back at Yuanyou, Yuanyou gave him a look, and he realized what Yuanyou had seen.
He said to Dr. Lu, "We'll ask him individually."
Dr. Lu nodded, motioned for them to pay more attention, and pulled the door out.
Yuanyou asked Luo Baifan to stand back, although Luo Baifan didn't know what to do, but listened to his words and took a few steps back.
The window of Ward 12 was on the north side, and there were trees outside, and the room was extremely dark.
Yuanyou saw Luo Baifan retreat, so he slowly walked in front of Wang Yong, leaned sideways, stretched out his left hand and grabbed Wang Yong's left wrist, and stretched forward with his wrist.
I saw Wang Yong's face showing an extremely painful expression, his mouth opened wide like a black hole, his head tilted back, the gray mist on his neck shrank into a small one in an instant, and before it became huge, Yuanyou bit his index finger and quickly drew a talisman on Wang Yong's body, this talisman is called "Evil Leaving the Body to Exorcise Ghosts", and he recited the exorcism spell.
"The sky is blue and the earth is bright, the yin and the yang are green, and my gods, pioneer evil ghosts, retreat evil, what gods don't please, what ghosts don't frighten, edict!"
Everything came suddenly, Luo Baifan was startled, and couldn't help but take a few steps back, leaning against the wall, he saw Wang Yong's hideous appearance after opening his mouth, and his neck was about to break, where is this action that a person can make.
And as Yuanyou shouted the two words of the edict, the gray mist behind Wang Yong's neck became bigger and flew towards Luo Baifan.
Luo Baifan didn't see anything, he only saw Wang Yong collapse on the bed, and suddenly a wind whistle passed by his ears, so he didn't know anything.
Yuan You frowned, and scolded in his heart, he didn't bring extra talismans with him this time, this thing that rode on Wang Yong's neck has been a few years, and it is a little difficult, so it seems that he can only endure the pain and cut his love.
Thinking about it, he roared, "I have mercy on my subordinates and make you good, then don't blame me." As he spoke, he took out a blood-red talisman from his cross-body bag, on which were painted many characters of dragons flying and phoenixes dancing.
I saw Yuan You gritting his teeth, and he didn't know why, but he showed a distressed and reluctant expression on his face, and bit his fingers, so that the blood talisman was stained with blood.
At this time, Luo Baifan, who was sitting on the edge of the wall, stood up suddenly, his head drooping, but his body rushed towards Yuanyou.
Yuan You snorted coldly, but just dodged sideways, and by the way, he put the blood talisman on his neck.
With a muffled sound, from near and far, something whistled away, and the room suddenly quieted down, Luo Baifan's face was about to pestle on the ground, and Yuanyou caught him.
When he was straightened, he moved and woke up.
"Oh my God!" Luo Baifan roared.
Yuanyou secretly laughed, "Oh my God, hurry up, you're heavy enough." β
Luo Baifan was as if he hadn't drunk water for several days, his throat was so dry that he couldn't do it, and he was choked and panicked when he spoke.
"What happened to me? Is it possessed, possessed? β
Yuanyou walked to the hospital bed and straightened Wang Yong, his face turned a little ruddy and fell asleep.
"It's possessed, that thing will become a climate in a few years, and by that time, it won't be himself anymore."
"I said you can say no in advance next time you exorcise evil spirits? I'm a mortal, how can I afford to toss like this, my bones are going to fall apart! What is that thing? Luo Baifan said as he moved his neck.
"If you guessed correctly, it should be a few of them, in July and a half of that year, they provoked the roadside ghost and followed."
According to this, what Wang Yong said when he came to report the case was full of nonsense? β
"There is such a possibility, but why are several of them, including that Shen Yuan, missing?"
After Yuanyou finished speaking, he thought to himself, maybe Wang Yong escaped because of the evil spirit, and none of them disappeared.
"Then can you ask him anything else? He woke up this time, and what he said must not be nonsense anymore! Luo Baifan saw that Wang Yong was sleeping deeply.
"He needs to recuperate for a few days, and we'll have to do it again."
Luo Baifan nodded, and the two of them informed Dr. Lu, and Wang Yong fell asleep.
Dr. Lu still didn't believe it, so he went in to take a look, and came out with a puzzled face.
"What did you do to him? Whose blood was on his clothes? It's really weird, he's never slept like this since he came here. β
"I'm going to say, there's a demon in him, and we've driven him away, believe it or not?" Luo Baifan whispered to Dr. Lu.
Dr. Lu smiled and said, "I believe you, I believe you are a big-headed ghost." Can you still engage in superstition as a policeman? But what's the deal with the blood? β
Luo Baifan began to talk nonsense about him.
Yuanyou smiled helplessly, he raised his hand to meet the sun, the wound on his finger healed again, he didn't know whether to be happy or have another mood, just let it take its course!
Sitting in the car, Luo Baifan asked while driving.
"Lao Yuan, what is the roadside ghost?"
"In fact, it is the ghost of ordinary people after death, and it is not very harmful in itself.
Every year in the middle of the year, the ghost door is wide open, once a year, it is not easy, these souls come to the yang world to collect some dark coins, or a good dojo to give birth to them, but these people kicked the field outside, ruined the money, and blocked the way.
If no one drives him away, he will stay with that person until the person's spirit is exhausted, and the person will go crazy if he does not die, and this resentment will increase day by day, and he will become a demon.
The roadside ghost on Wang Yong's body is actually not so fierce, I didn't bring an extra exorcism charm in my bag today, in order to save you, I used a "Liuding Liujia Evil Charm", and my liver hurts! β
"What kind of talisman is that, it can make Lao Yuan hurt like this, it must be unusual!"
"Have you forgotten Tang Hao, and the female tomb tiger in Honghe Cave? How powerful, think about it. β
"Oops, for my sake, it's worth it to bleed once."
Yuanyou shook his head, "This kind of talisman is powerful, and it is also difficult to become a talisman, and it takes three years to produce one, so it's fake if you don't feel distressed." β
Luo Baifan smiled and patted Yuanyou's shoulder, "Righteousness, true righteousness!" β
They chatted, and the car drove towards the public security bureau.
