Chapter 5 Skin Painting Techniques
My heart pounded, and I immediately shook my head, pretending that nothing was wrong: "I haven't heard of it." ”
I crossed Zhu Fei left and right, bypassed him and left, and when I looked back after walking a long distance, I saw that the man had disappeared in the middle of the road, and I didn't know where to go.
When I came back from the funeral, I was not well, my head was groggy.
After saying goodbye to Zhu Feiyue, on the way home, I sorted out the whole thing from beginning to end: starting from the extra reincarnation of death in WeChat, strange things happened, first Su Yao committed suicide, I was misunderstood by the Su family, and now there is a strange man in black.
When I went upstairs, I found the reincarnation of death in WeChat, and was about to block it, when the neighbor Zhang Old Man went out, and as soon as we met, Old Man Zhang pointed at me and shouted:
"Little Lizi, what's wrong with you? His face is uglier than a ghost. ”
I went into the house and looked in the mirror, and it was really scary that my eyes were dark and my face was lifeless.
Old man Zhang followed me into the house, smashed his mouth and said, "Tsk, if I'm not mistaken, there is a breeze hanging on your neck, looking for your life!" Now you're in for a big deal! ”
Some time ago, the old man Zhang was cleaned up by the relevant departments because of the fortune telling, the old man had never been married in his life, so he relied on fortune telling to cheat some money and make a living.
I've been neighbors with Old Man Zhang for a while, and he has calculated my fate several times, but none of them are accurate, and each time he starts with "You have a big deal".
I know the old man's details very well, he has no other skills, so he brags about his shamelessness, I still admire it very much. According to the old man, up and down for 5,000 years, feng shui, divination, and the five elements gossip Qimen Dunjia did not know what he wouldn't do.
In the circle of Northeast metaphysics, his old man ranks in the top five, and his peers are convinced.
But today I was in no mood to talk nonsense with him, so I threw him a cigarette: "Uncle Zhang, how good are you going, I'm annoying." ”
Old man Zhang put the cigarette in his pocket, but he didn't leave: "Kid, let's be neighbors, don't blame me for not reminding you, the thing that is pestering you is a big murderer!" I look at your face, the atrium collapses, Shangguan, the four white and double holes are dark light, but the Yin Hall is red and scary, this is a typical ghost door to open the door, if I guess correctly, tonight around three watches, that thing will come to you. ”
At the funeral just now, a middle-aged woman threatened me and said that Su Yao's ghost was coming to me tonight. I never expected that this time I was actually right by Old Man Zhang!
In fact, if you think about it carefully, the beginning of the whole thing happened to start with Old Man Zhang, and on that day, the reincarnation of death asked me to ask Old Man Zhang for a cigarette and rewarded me with 500 yuan.
Could it really be that he was right to touch the mouse to death for his blind cat? I looked at him suspiciously, this old man was very unreliable, and I had heard him tell others more than once similar prophecies.
"Uncle, I beg you, you can find Ma Dongmei to fool around, I really don't have any money."
Old man Zhang got angry all of a sudden: "Who asked you for money?" I just think you're a good kid, and you died in vain, what a pity! ”
Turning around and walking to the window, Old Man Zhang looked up at the sky and said with emotion: "I, Zhang Youde, have killed and saved people in my life, but I still owe too much to Heaven, and now, it's time to repay the debt......"
I watched the old man's performance on the sidelines, crying and laughing: "You can't even tell fortunes, who will you give back to heaven?" ”
Old man Zhang sneered: "I deliberately miscalculated, the so-called virtual is real, the real is virtual, sometimes, a person falls into the market vulgarity, and is ridiculed and fooled by the small people, which is also a kind of practice." ”
The old man's words were very Zen, and my body seemed to be poured with cold water, and I woke up in an instant:
Could this old man ...... On the surface, he is giggling, but in fact he is a game world, a hermit who hides in the city?
When I was a child, my father was still there, and I occasionally heard rumors about this river and lake from his drunken words.
Sometimes, the real masters do not necessarily live in the deep mountains and old forests, on the contrary, this kind of people live in the world, often haunting the street vegetable market, low-key to humble.
Thinking about it like this, Old Man Zhang's back suddenly became mysterious in my eyes.
In my current situation, except for Old Man Zhang, there is no second person who can help me, so I simply had the attitude of giving it a try, and I told what I had experienced.
After listening to this, Old Man Zhang nodded, and sat down on the sofa chair: "Do you have any good tea?" ”
I took out a bag of black tea for five yuan and five hundred grams, and made him a cup, the old man drank it straight to his teeth, closed his eyes and counted it, and said:
"First of all, there must be something behind this, and you are the scapegoat. However, you can't be reasonable with the dead, and the ghost of the girl may be controlled by the bad guys and bewitched, and since she hates you, she will definitely come to you. ”
"Even if her death has nothing to do with you, she still has to come."
I hurriedly handed over the cigarette and lit the fire: "Are you sure...... She's really coming to me tonight? ”
Old man Zhang squinted his eyes and took a puff of his cigarette: "I must come." ”
My frightened legs shook into a sieve, and I hurriedly said, "I'll leave now, and I'll hide in the field for two days first." ”
Old man Zhang smiled: "You can't hide, you have been marked on your body, no matter where you flee, people can find you." ”
"And on time, never late."
I was about to cry: "What should I do? Uncle Zhang, is there a way you can cure her? ”
Old man Zhang drank tea and smoked slowly, and only after a few minutes did he speak: "Everything in the world cannot escape cause and effect, and those who harm others will eventually be harmed." Although I, Zhang, am a little bit of a man, I can deal with a female ghost, but it's not a problem. ”
"Kid, come with me."
I followed the old man Zhang to his house with trepidation, only to see the old man take out a canvas from the drawer, lay it flat on the coffee table, and said to me:
"My ancestor was born as a leather painter, the world is weird, nothing more than this leather painting, my ancestor was in the imperial court, painted for the emperor, the craft passed to me, it is not wasted. You see. ”
As he spoke, the old man found an old fountain pen, soaked it in ink, and began to trace it on the canvas.
I watched carefully on the side, the more I looked at it, the more shocked I became, usually hanging, the old man Zhang, who was deceived and abducted, the kung fu of painting was not simple, the pen was like the wind and did not say, and did not make a draft at all, just come at hand.
He sketched the human figure on the canvas, followed by details such as clothing, background, etc., and when the old man painted, his expression was serious, and his forehead was covered with beads of sweat.
It took more than half an hour before and after, and finally the old man Zhang wiped his sweat, took a bottle of cinnabar-like powder from the back room, put water in his mouth, and sprayed it on the canvas!
A lifelike door god was drawn in this way, the door god was tall and burly, wearing a red and black official robe, holding a Fang Tian painting halberd, with a fierce expression.
There are three big characters written on the official uniform: "Ghost sees sorrow!" ”
In the background is a blood-colored sky, and some groups of imps are frightened by the door god and flee in all directions.
After coloring, Old Man Zhang bit his middle finger again, and his fingertips were a little at the center of the door god's eyebrows, I don't know if it was an illusion, I seemed to see the door god move slightly.
"You stick it on the door, hehe...... I'd like to see if that girl dares to come to your house tonight! ”
Old man Zhang showed this hand, which made me more convinced that the identity of the old man is not simple, and with this big backer, my heart is much more steady. Hurry up and stick the door god as he instructed.
"The name of this god is Ghost Sorrow, as the name suggests, ordinary dirty things see it, and they can only turn around and flee for their lives." Old man Zhang pinched three sticks of incense in his hand, bowed to the door god, and said painfully:
"I paid a lot of money to invite this god, I will sleep in your house tonight, as long as the girl dares to come, I will let the ghost see her and subdue her, and teach her a lesson by the way."
There is an old man in charge, coupled with the protection of the door god, which is equivalent to a double insurance, I learned during the conversation that when the old man was young, he relied on a hand to paint the skin, saved a lot of people, and also offended many peers, and then everything was down, so he came to the county to live in seclusion and make a living by fortune telling.
I went downstairs to buy some vegetables, waited for the old man to have dinner, and waited until midnight, when Zhu Feiyue called: "What's the matter?" Will you use me to accompany you? ”
I really didn't want to involve Zhu Feiyue, the key was that he couldn't help except accompany me to chat, so I declined.
According to Old Man Zhang's analysis, Su Yao was killed by a bad guy and forced to commit suicide, that person did a very good job, not to mention killing, and used some kind of evil magic to bewitch Su Yao's ghost, making her mistakenly think that I killed her, in this way, even if Su Yao died and turned into a ghost, it was me who was looking for it, and the real murderer had nothing to do.
In other words, the content in the circle of friends is not her original intention.
I can imagine that Su Yao must have encountered something terrible on the way home when she left the barbershop that day, and she must have been desperate and helpless at that time.
Why am I not good people to do it to the end? What about sending her home?
What makes me most angry is that the murderer's methods are so despicable that he actually uses evil magic to brainwash him, so as to achieve the goal of blame.
I immediately thought of the cycle of death, is it possible that the strange man I met at the funeral today...... Is he the cycle of death?
And the real murderer is him?
I told Old Man Zhang about the appearance of the man in black, snorted coldly, Old Man Zhang touched his beard and smiled: "This person is not simple, when I deal with the little girl, I will have time to meet him." ”
That night, the first snow of this winter fell, and I chatted with Old Man Zhang for a long time, and after three o'clock in the morning, I couldn't bear it.
My eyelids became heavier and heavier, thinking that Su Yao should not dare to come, and suddenly I heard a shrill cat meow outside the window!
I was frightened with a layer of white hair on the back of my neck, and immediately came to my senses, and as soon as the cat's meowing stopped, there was a string of light footsteps in the hallway.
The footsteps were too faint to be heard if I didn't listen carefully, and my back was soaked in cold sweat at that time, and I hurriedly woke up Old Man Zhang:
"Wake up...... Here she comes! ”
