Chapter 27: Halloween

On August 27th, the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar, today is Halloween, I have been lying in the hospital for two weeks, my body has gradually improved, and my cousin has been with me these days, never leaving an inch.

"Qingyuan, how's it going? Is it okay to become a monk with your cousin? ”

In the past few days, my cousin has been talking about becoming a monk, and my ears are about to grow calluses, not that I don't want to, in fact, I have a lot of resistance in my heart.

For my situation, ordination is the best solution, Putian Temple, one of the largest temples in China, in the easternmost part of the city, on the border of the two provinces on Mount Amaterasu, nearly tens of millions of pilgrims every year, absolute Buddhist holy land.

Between Yin and Qiu, no matter how great his ability is, I'm afraid, he won't be able to deal with so many monks.

In the end, I decided that when the Midyear Festival was over, I would accompany my cousin to go there, but I didn't want to be a monk.

In the past few days on Sunday, he also came to persuade me, saying that although I don't have a wisdom root, as long as I go to the Buddha, I can get through the current calamity.

It's already afternoon, and I've been eating hospital meals for the past few days, so I can't move, and second, I'm penniless now, and I don't want my cousin to break the bank.

"Let's go, Qingyuan, go out for a good meal, and after eating, I'll take you to make a horse and kill chicken, and find two beautiful ......"

My cousin didn't continue, I said in my heart, he still didn't change.

I didn't want to go out, and my cousin drove me around the streets, and there were piles of burned incense paper, some of which were still smoking.

Zhou Tian said that Halloween, just like people celebrate the Spring Festival, is a day when ghosts can go home, reunite with their families, and eat together.

Yin Qiu told me several times, don't run around, my cousin smiled on the side.

"Don't worry, Qingyuan, here you go."

As he spoke, my cousin took out two Buddhist cards and handed me one.

"It's okay, the great monk gave it to us, even if you encounter a ghost, you won't be afraid."

I sighed, accepted the Buddhist card, and at a high-end restaurant, after a full meal, my cousin was going to drag me to the horse to kill the chicken.

After finishing the horse and killing the chicken, I felt much more comfortable, and this time, it was already past 10 o'clock, and my cousin smiled at me.

"Let's go, cousin, I'll take you to have some fun, I know that there is a club around here, and the sister in it is very punctual!"

I tried my best to persuade him, but my cousin just didn't listen, he explained that he was going to become a monk, and if he didn't go to Lele, I was afraid he wouldn't have a chance.

I didn't stop my cousin, he drove me down to the entrance of the hospital, and I walked into the hospital on crutches.

In the empty hall, there was no one, my ward was on the 6th floor, I came to the elevator door, one with the word "maintenance" written on it, and the other was parked on the top floor, the 11th floor.

I waited for a few minutes, and the elevator didn't move.

Just when I was wondering, the elevator moved, came down, and when I went down to the 2nd floor, it stopped again, I waited, this will be full of food and drink, and I also drank a few sips with my cousin, very sleepy.

I pressed it impatiently, not knowing what the man above was doing.

At this time, the elevator that was supposed to go down went up again, and I took a few steps back, feeling that something was wrong.

I was going to take the stairs, although my foot hurt, it was not well, I pinched the Buddha card, this big night, I have nowhere to go, only to go back to the ward, and then sleep until dawn.

I went up the stairs very slowly, and when I got to the fourth floor, it was already 11 o'clock.

"Hey, that patient on the sixth floor, he's going to die tonight."

"Huh? How do you know? ”

"What I accidentally saw today, that guy, it's fierce, I heard them talking, saying that they would take 1 million to buy the patient's life."

I gasped, and the voice came from the half-open fourth floor, one old and one young.

The first thing I thought of was to call the police, but then I thought about it, should I encounter a ghost again?

I felt the wall and tiptoed over.

"Old man, you've been messing around here for so long, is there any good place to go, introduce me!"

"You just came here, just stay here, in fact, this place is quite good."

I poked my head out, and the hallway was empty, darkly lit, only a few wards, and there was still a little light.

"Could it be that I'm thinking too much?" I muttered, turned my head, I wowed, screamed, in front of me, stood an aunt, her clothes were dirty, her hair was a little messy, and I, as if I had seen her somewhere.

"Young man, here, it's not peaceful tonight, you better not go back."

Suddenly, I remembered, it was my aunt who was waiting for the bus that night, pulling me, and kindly reminding me not to get on the No. 146 bus, why is she here?

"Auntie, are you a human or a ghost?"

I'm still a little scared.

"Tonight, don't stay in this hospital, especially you, you have a lot of bad spirit!"

I nodded gratefully.

Indeed, tonight, something is wrong, I went to the hospital, there was no one in the middle, I didn't think much about it, no matter whether this aunt was a human or a ghost, this time, I kindly accepted her suggestion, and I immediately went downstairs.

"Hey, why don't we mix it up too? Perhaps, something good? ”

"Silly boy, settle down, I just heard someone outside."

The voices of an old man and a young man floated from the fourth floor again, and I turned my head, and the aunt just now was gone.

My feet hurt again, so I had to go down the stairs slowly.

"Look, it's a lame boy."

"Wait, how do I think this kid can hear us."

I didn't look back, pretending to be calm and went downstairs, one old and one young, right behind me.

"When I try him, there is no fire on this kid."

In the palm of my hand, I held the Buddha card, and I only waited for the critical time to take it out.

I felt a chill down my spine and something quickly floated past me.

Suddenly, I was stunned, and almost screamed, Zhou Tian said, ordinary people can't see ghosts, and ghosts don't want to be seen, if they are seen, they may play tricks on you.

The young ghost in front of him had several long sutures on his head, and his whole face seemed to have been stitched together with needles and threads, bulging in some places and collapsing in others.

I suppressed the fear in my heart, pretending that nothing was right, rummaging through my body, tilting my head, and the ghost, with its pale hand, dangled in front of my eyes.

"I don't seem to see it, old man, you're too careful."

"Young man, your amulet card has fallen."

Fiercely, the old ghost behind me, said a word, I panicked, inertia looked down, oh no, I said in my heart, the Buddha card is obviously in my hand.

The young ghost in front of me suddenly stretched out his hand with his teeth and claws, and was about to grab me, I took out the Buddha card, and faced him, a dazzling golden light, the ghost in front of me was bounced away, and at this time, behind me, the hand that had been shriveled pinched my shoulder.

This will be inconvenient for me to move, so I have to hold the Buddha card, and originally, the Buddha card that is still lit, this will, but there is a black breath on it, and all of a sudden, the brilliance is lost.

"Haha, this kind of thing, although it is powerful, it's just that once you encounter obscene things, it's useless."

All of a sudden, I seemed to think of something, it was my cousin, he was in the cup today, grinding and rubbing, I don't know what to do, but looking at his expression, I understood at once.

Two ghosts, one in front of the other and one behind, blocked my way.

I turned my head, and the old ghost, with gray hair, and cheeks that were out of the ravines, was white, and there was nothing to be afraid of.

"Go away, what are you going to do?"

"Hehe, boy, you just eavesdropped on our conversation, at least pay some money to come out."

The old ghost said, squeezing my shoulder's hand and increasing the force.

"Okay, okay, what do you want to eat, leave your name, and I'll buy a tribute for you tomorrow."

"yes, yes." The ghost of that year is excited.

"Silly boy, what kind of tribute do you want, the yang energy on the living person, but it's delicious, boy, let's breathe a little yang energy."

Fiercely, I became angry all of a sudden, why are these ghosts always like this, I don't say a word, clenching my fists.

"Let go of Lao Tzu, otherwise don't blame Lao Tzu for being polite."

The young ghost in front of him clapped his hands, revealing a fierce look.

"Wow, I'm a ghost, aren't you scared?"

"I've seen a lot of ghosts, and there are several of them at home."

As I spoke, I punched him in the mocking face, and he flew out, and then I grabbed the old ghost's hand and twisted it hard, and he cried.

Sure enough, they could touch me, and I, too, could touch them, and when I turned around, I punched the old ghost in the chest, and with my cane, I was about to hit him on the head.

"Don't don't, I don't dare."

The old ghost begged for mercy.

The young ghost, who seemed to be blinded by me, looked at me stupidly, and my feet hurt a little.

"Come and help me, look at what, and then watch me beat you."

Then two ghosts, one old and one young, helped me and slowly went downstairs, which made my heart much more comfortable, and the two ghosts supported me one after the other, and I was much more relaxed.

"What were you guys talking about? Give me an honest explanation, what 1 million buys the life of a patient on the 6th floor? ”

"I see that you are not a monk, nor a Taoist, nor a ghost, except that you are a little more evil, there is nothing special, you are not afraid of ghosts?"

"I'm afraid, of course I'm afraid, it's just that I'm a ghost, don't go too far, it's you who want to provoke me first, I just want to go back to the ward."

Later, I learned from the old ghost that a ghost keeper had received money from others and planned to use the ghost to kill a wealthy businessman on the 6th floor.

"Isn't it from Onizuka?"

I asked the first time, and the old ghost nodded.

"Hey, young man, seeing that you are young, not only powerful, but also know a lot, that person in the ghost mound is more fierce than ghosts, and has a lot of powerful ghosts, collecting money from people and doing things with people."

Walking to the 2nd floor, I stopped.

"What room does that patient live in?"

Somehow, I don't want to just walk away!
