Last night was the old lady's first seventh, and the first seven are also called 'Soul Night'.

Generally, the soul of the ancestors is returned home on the night of the first seven, and then every room is visited to understand the situation of the descendants.

On the evening of the first seven days, the main house had to close its doors and windows before dark, and lay down in bed after eating early.

Then the ancestors would come in through the doors and windows or through various gaps and wander around the house. When they saw that their family members were sleeping peacefully, the ancestors would leave at midnight, that is, between half past nine and half past eleven in the evening.

Outside, there are bull heads and horses, and big ghosts and small ghosts are waiting to escort the souls of their ancestors to the underworld.

Therefore, family members should not go out and walk around at will, so as not to collide with their ancestors or various Yin soldiers.

If the family walks around that night, or even has a verbal dispute over trivial matters, the ancestors will feel sad and regretful, so they will stay in the world and refuse to leave for a long time. Therefore, on the night of returning to the soul, three animals must be offered, and rich tributes must be placed in the living room, so that the ancestors can eat and drink enough to go on the road. Also prepare a bowl of water to let the ancestors wash away the dust and walk comfortably on the road.

After the ancestors have eaten enough food, they will take some out of the door to thank the four ghosts, so that the treatment on the road will be better.

Some people say that there is not a door god in the house?

The door god will not refuse the soul of his own family, and the door god can't control the yin, and the yin and the soul of his own family can go in and out at will. The door god refuses to enter and exit the spirits except for his own family, so after the door is closed at night, there is a door god who is not afraid of being disturbed.

Hearing the waiter's words, my heart tightened, and my scalp was a little numb.

If I leave, nothing will happen to me. But I'm a Taoist priest! Although I didn't confer a gong or anything, but I am a person with a master, so I can't embarrass the master to Nanzhenguan, right?

After struggling with my mind for a while, I said to the waiter, "It's okay, if it comes tonight, I'll take care of it." ”

The waiter looked at me quizzically.

"I'm actually a Taoist priest, and the one over there in Nancun is that Nanzhen Temple, and the Fire Bell Taoist is my master." I said.

The waitress was less than thirty years old, and she didn't know if she was a local, and maybe she hadn't heard of Nan Zhenkan at all, so she was also skeptical.

It seems that I am in the local area, and no one knows me except for the old man in his sixties and seventies. So I'm determined to be aware that I'm going to meet that 'thing' tonight. In order to take advantage of this matter, Nanzhenguan can be carried forward.

"I'm not going to check out, I'll be with you in the lobby tonight, and if that 'thing' dares to come, I'll kill it!"

"Are you really a Taoist priest? I heard that the Taoist priest who chanted the sutra too much last night was scared away. ”

"I'm a real Taoist priest, if you don't believe it, you can watch it tonight!"

"Then ......, will I waive your rent?"

"No, you don't! Thank you! I'm not short of that money. ”

The waiter glanced at the car parked at the door, and the car of more than 100,000 yuan would not be short of the 100 yuan.

Then I talked to her about last night's incident, and finally had a deeper understanding of this matter.

I pondered for a long time, and when I went out again, I had to find a way to get a set of Taoist tools. Like the peach wood sword, the three clear bells, the order flag, and the tokens. Although I don't know how to use these things, since it's ghost hunting, I need to have this skill to be convincing.

In the alley opposite the entrance of the hospital, I finally found a small shop selling sacrifices. It was dark and gloomy, and there was an old man in his seventies who was busy. The shelves on both sides are filled with various offerings. Seriously, this is the first time I've been in this kind of place.

I walked in and asked the old man, "Uncle, are there three clear bells?" ”

The uncle looked at me curiously: "Young man, do you buy Sanqing Ling?" ”

"There are also peachwood swords, arrows, tokens, and yellow rune paper, all of which are given to me a set."

"Young man, why are you buying this?"

"Ghost hunting tonight! Subdue demons and subdue demons! ”

"Hey, hey, hey! Would you still do this? ”

"Nope! Pretend, but I have my way! ”

"Young man, I advise you not to do this, be careful of being topped!"

"It's okay, you can't get on me."

After speaking, I entered the strength into my right palm, and a faint yellow light emitted from the palm, and the words 'five thunders' appeared.

Uncle was taken aback, pointed to my right palm, his eyes widened, his lips trembled, and he couldn't stop you, you, you.

Gathering strength, the light is gone. The uncle was calm, and then he arched his hand at me and said, "Dare to ask who the little brother is learning from?" ”

I also arched my hand and said, "The Fire Bell Daoist of Nanzhenguan is my master. ”

"But Nan Zhen Guan of Nancun?"

"Exactly."

When the uncle heard this, he immediately turned around and went into the room to take out a cloth bag, and took out three clear bells, arrows, tokens, and a smooth peach wood sword from it. This set of things has been used for decades at first glance, but looking at the dust on the cloth bag, it seems that it has not been taken out for a long time.

The old is better, and the new is not yet believed. I asked how much it was, and the uncle said that he didn't need the money, just give it back to him when he was finished. Isn't he afraid that I'll kidnap these things?

After the uncle finished speaking, he took out a handful of yellow rune paper and brought a lighter, I tried the lighter, and it was able to play. I asked how much the yellow rune paper was, and he said that he would send it.

I'm not a Taoist priest, I don't have spells, I can't hit fireballs. And the fireball is a talisman, and I don't know how to draw it. You can only light it with a lighter, and you can throw it away. There are many kinds of talismans, and I don't have any research on them, and I'm not interested in them.

After thanking the uncle, I went out with my things. Uncle grabbed the landline phone next to him and watched me out.

Walked back to the guesthouse and went back to the room to take a shower. I changed into the Taoist uniform that Jiang Ming customized for me, and took the guy down to the lobby. The waiter was also a little stunned when he saw my dress.

She said you are really a Taoist priest? There was a hint of surprise in his tone. I smiled and said it was like a fake.

It's already evening, and looking at the lights outside, I can only sit on the sofa in the lobby and wait slowly.

When the waiter saw that there were no guests coming to the door, he turned on the chandelier in the lobby, which was bright and beautiful. She walked out of the desk and went to bring a glass of water. Put the water in front of me, then sit down on the couch opposite me and talk to me. What I asked was to keep inquiring about Nanzhenguan.

I said that the temple is being rebuilt and will be ready to move in by the end of the year.

She also asked how many people there were in the temple, and whether she could accept female Taoist priests. I looked up into her eyes, and then she looked a little flustered, and her gaze couldn't help but dodge.

I don't want to break her heart, now that I have a family, I don't want to waste time developing another relationship. I have two kinds of Taoist priests, and if they are all-truthful, they do not accept female disciples. Moreover, a Taoist priest of the Quanzhen Path cannot get married, unless he is still vulgar. I panicked.

The waiter let out a gloomy look. After a long silence, she stood up and said, I hope tonight will go well, otherwise it will be terrible to work here. Then he walked over to the desk and ignored me.

Generally, ghosts appear at the time of the child, that is, from eleven o'clock to one o'clock in the evening. I had to find a place to hide when I was in Yin, and it was between 3 and 5 o'clock in the morning. After five o'clock in the morning, if the ghost is illuminated by the sun, it will be wiped out and will never enter the cycle of reincarnation.

We sat opposite each other, five or six meters apart. She was playing on the computer at the help desk, and her typing could be heard in the quiet night.

Suddenly, she looked over, I felt her gaze, and I looked over. She stood up, blushing, and looked at me before she could speak. I thought the 'thing' was coming, and when I looked back at the gate, there was nothing.

"That ......, Mr. Chen, you ......, can you accompany me to the toilet?"

I was a little nervous and amused by her. I stood up and walked in the direction of the toilet, and she followed me. When I got to the toilet door, I stopped and watched her walk in with a red face.

Listening to the sound of the water being released inside, I felt a little like peeing. Just when I regretted not buying a pack of cigarettes, there was a sudden 'pop' and the power went out. I turned my head to look at the doorway, and the streetlights were all black.

According to Jiang Ming's previous experience, if the street lights are all extinguished, it will be a city-wide power outage. The general residential electricity consumption is separated from the municipal electricity consumption. There is a power outage in a single area, but the street lights are still on.

"Ahh ~~~~~" The waiter in the toilet screamed in fright, and then heard the sound of a panicked door opening. It's almost eleven o'clock now, and if the whole city goes without electricity, the only way to do it is to rely on the stars, and having the moon is a luxury.

I took out my phone and opened it, and in the faint light, I saw the waiter shivering when I rushed out. She saw her phone light up and ran over and hid behind me.

There is a dim emergency light in the lobby, and there is a fire escape sign at the foot of the wall that glows blue, so you can barely see a little. The waiter hid behind me, and I said it's okay, maybe there is a temporary power outage, let's go! I walked in front, and she followed behind, looking from side to side.

The service desk was dark, there was a large glass in the sofa area, and many residents could be seen coming out and asking each other about the cause of the power outage.

"You stay here, I'll go out and see."

"No, no, no, I'm going out too."

"Let's go!" After saying that, I opened the glass door, and it was a little stuffy outside, without a trace of wind. Many residents turned on their flashlights, held their mobile phones to illuminate, and asked each other why the power was out.

I went out and looked to the right, more than 300 meters away, I was burning paper, and a tent was set up at the door. Last night's Taoist team was scared away, and now only the people of the main family are busy.

I said I'm going to go over there and have a look, so you can stay here! After saying that, I went in to get the tools, and as soon as I got out of the glass door, I suddenly heard a loud 'bang', and then there was an exclamation in the distance.

Where the paper was burned just now, a large canopy of sparks floated, and a dark shadow lay on the ground. I was instantly at the fire. I saw a middle-aged woman, her head was flattened, and blood and ** flowed all over the ground.

"Mom! ......。 "The two people who rushed out of the gate were a pair of teenagers and girls who had just returned from burning paper, seventeen or eighteen years old.

I took out the three clear bells and shook them, 'Bells! Bell! Bell! Then look around.

This is a self-built residential building, with four floors, and a dark shadow can be seen sitting on the roof under the starlight. Who could this be? I diverged my consciousness, there was no one on the roof, and I only felt that the yin qi was very heavy. Ignoring the wails of the boys, I rushed through the door.

In a place where no one was seeing, I instantly appeared on the rooftop. The black shadow sitting on the fence was surprised, sensed my presence behind him, and looked back. It was a thin old lady with a deformed head and a head covered in blood. It's disgusting and horrible to watch.

Staring at the old lady with a bloodshot head for a while, I said Who are you? Maybe the old lady knew that I was difficult and opened her mouth to chirp. But she only said one note, can I understand that? I haven't learned this nonsense.

'Bell! Bell! Bell! Shaking the bell, the old lady looked at her with fear, and she floated into the distance. It's really floating, not walking. So this is a real ghost?

While shaking the three clear bells, he drew his peachwood sword. This is a peachwood sword that has been used for decades, and the surface is oily and slippery to the touch.

The old lady saw the peachwood sword and chirped nervously as she stepped back. It seems that she is not immune to the peachwood sword, so this peachwood sword should be a good thing.

Taoists believe that peach wood is the 'essence of the five trees', which is the embodiment of the father of the sun. The five trees are mulberry, elm, peach, acacia and willow.

According to the "Classic of Mountains and Seas. The Overseas North Classic records: Kuafu and the sun are chased away, like the sun. Thirsty to drink, drink in Hewei, Hewei is insufficient, and drink Daze in the north. Before he arrived, he died of thirst. Abandon his staff and turn into Dunlin. This Deng Lin is the meaning of Taolin.

Therefore, Taoists believe that the peach tree has the divine power to ward off evil spirits, and at the same time has the function of praying for blessings. In "Journey to the West", Sun Wukong steals peaches in Pan Tao Garden to eat, this is Xian Tao. Of course, immortals can subdue ghosts.

The old lady was afraid of the peachwood sword, it was a natural fear, and all the low-level ghosts were afraid of this.

I pushed the old lady into a corner, she had nowhere to run, but I couldn't understand her, what should I do? Do you kill her and make her go up in the dust, or do you want to ask the reason?

The old lady saw that I couldn't understand the nonsense, and she was afraid of Sanqingling and the peachwood sword, and then floated up. When I ran to the side of the building, she instantly circled behind me, and when I turned around, she opened her mouth wide and bit her.

As soon as I was in a hurry, I blocked it with a horizontal sword. She bit down on the peachwood sword, and with a 'z-la' sound, a puff of black smoke came out, and a burnt smell came from her nostrils.

The old lady screamed 'ah' and floated away. By the time I reacted, she was gone. I searched around the rooftop, but I couldn't find it. Then divergent consciousness to find it, and the surrounding area, even the whole building, did not have that kind of yin qi.

Looking around the roof, trying to find the old lady, if you can't find it, go downstairs to find it. There were hundreds of people watching on the street downstairs, all looking at the woman who committed suicide by jumping off the building, and no one dared to go over to help.

I appeared on the periphery of the crowd and walked around behind the men. These are all living people, and there is no trace of yin qi, so the old lady is definitely not here.

Then I remembered the waiter, who was not seen in the crowd, and looked back at the door of the hotel.

The waiter was looking at the door, and there were several timid women around who were afraid to come. Although I knew that something was going on here, I knew that it was the third person who jumped off the building, and it was the same family, so this matter was evil.

Instantly appearing behind these women, I put away the peachwood sword and the three clear bells. The waiter heard the movement of a bell behind him, so he turned his head to look.

When she saw that it was me, she hurried over and said, "It's terrifying! The third jumped off the building. Where did you just go? ”

"I went to check on the situation, and I saw an old lady on the roof, her face was covered in blood, but I didn't catch her, and she ran away."

"Did you really see her? I saw it last night, too, squeezing in through the crack in the glass door, also covered in blood, and going up the stairs. ”

The waitress trembled with fright, covered her mouth with her hands, and tears slipped down her eyes. It was pitch black around here, and I pretended not to see it. It turns out that when I went to bed last night, I felt that someone around me was watching me sleep, is it true?

At this time, a police car came, and several timid women followed behind the police car and also ran to see the excitement. The police are not afraid of anything in the eyes of the masses and are the embodiment of justice, which also gives them a reason to watch. Eating melons and watching onlookers has always been a hobby of Chinese people, and these three jumps can become the final topic of gossip in the future.

"Mr. Chen, I want to leave here, can you also go to live somewhere else?" The waiter looked at me with a pleading gaze.

I nodded, and said that my salute was still in the room, and I would go and get it. Then accompanied the waiter into the hall. The waiter said that the key to the hotel gate was at the service desk, and she had to take it out.

After packing my luggage and walking down the stairs, I only reached the second floor, when I heard the waiter scream in horror: "Ah! ......。 ”
