Text Chapter 4 City God Temple
Maybe the voice is too quiet, and this flute doesn't pay attention to me at all. I took out the pile of talismans again, and this time I chose it quickly, drew one out, and roared
"Haste as a law! Go! ”
The spell shot like an arrow into the middle of the river, and boom! With a bang, a flash of fire flashed in midair.
I don't know what Jiang Xin's Huangjian has suffered this time, and I can't manage so much.
Because the tree was finally washed away by the water.
In the film and television drama, the plot of the protagonist being rescued by drifting with a piece of wood, I can tell you very responsibly - it's all fake!
The tree, freed from the piers, rolled happily in the water a few times, and threw me into the rapids.
And then what? Then I drank water, choked on water, suffocated, and it was dark in front of me.
When I became conscious again, it became a light work floating on the water again.
Dude drowned again.
This! Just the beginning of the tragedy. I became a ghost again, and I still had the logo of the stick brother just now on the door of my head, and before I could figure out the situation, it was like an arrow off the string, shooting into the water like the wind, heading straight for my tumbling body!
Then, I was reinstated......
Drinking water, choking, suffocating, the eyes are dark, bright, and they become ghosts again.
Flying, resurrecting the soul...... Drinking, choking, suffocating, and a dark ......
How do you sing a song? I hurt you that night, and you had tears all over your face that night.
That night, I became an arrow;
That night, I drank a belly full of water;
That night, I became a ghost;
That night I became an arrow again;
Circulate! Solo!
How does a virgin get the achievement of Seven Jiro in One Night? I did it! Others are immortals who want to die seven times, but I don't have immortals and die seven times directly!
It wasn't until the bad luck of Brother Golf Stick was completely washed away from my corpse's head that the nightmare cycle ended.
I stood on the water, looked downstream, and the body didn't know where it had gone... Forget it, love to drift wherever you want. I've died so many times in a row, I'm really not in the mood to look for it.
Turning around and looking upstream, I had been swept far away from the toss just now, and the bridge was out of sight. Fortunately, I saw the yellow tip floating over from a distance.
He was beaten very badly, the wound on the right side of his head was clearly visible, it should have been smashed by a bat, the clothes on his chest were all torn, as if he had been blown up by a firecracker, and it looked like his left arm was also injured, and he covered it with his right hand.
"Master Huang, this... What's going on? ”
Huang Jian's face was full of anger
"There's no king's law, I don't recognize the waist card, and the ghosts dare to play...... I'll have to write a report when I go back......"
"Writing a report? Beat you like this, you don't arrest him?! ”
"Civilized law enforcement, do you understand?"
Huang Jian's face was full of frustration
"Besides, I... I'm just a clerical worker. ”
"Then what should I do now, Master Huang? My flesh is lost again. ”
It's really unlucky today, this series of blows has made me physically and mentally exhausted, and I can only hope that the fat ghost in front of me will show me the way.
Huang Jian took out his phone and looked at it
"Forget it, it's too late. You go back with me first, and I'll find someone to help you find the body. ”
After saying that, he grabbed the string around my neck again.
There was no need to look for anything this time, Huang Jian moved so fast that I didn't even have time to ask, I only felt a tightness in my neck, the sound of wind whirring in my ears, and the surrounding scenery quickly fell backwards.
After a quarter of an hour's effort, I returned to the city and came to a shopping street, a place I knew
--City God's Temple Street.
Chenghuang Temple Street is an antique commercial pedestrian street, which is very lively during the day, and the merchants here mainly sell small handicrafts, stationery and antique calligraphy and paintings.
The innermost part of the pedestrian street is the City God Temple, which is a small attraction in Jiqing City.
It was already past twelve o'clock at night, and the gate of the City God Temple had already been closed. I've been around here, the place is not big, it's just a small courtyard with two entrances.
Entering from the gate, it is the first courtyard to enter, the size of a tennis court, and the courtyard is facing the main hall, with a side hall on each side, and an incense burner in the middle.
The main hall is dedicated to Sun Simiao, the king of medicine, and the side hall on the left is the office of public security management and cleaning.
The side hall on the right is selling incense and candles, and there is a person dressed as a "Taoist" during the day, setting up a table and letting people draw lots to solve the lot. Now it's all off work, and the doors are closed.
The backyard is not open to the public, and it is padlocked all year round, so I haven't been there, it should be a warehouse or something.
Huang Jian slowed down and pulled me through the door.
On the edge of the incense burner in the middle of the courtyard, there stood a person, who looked to be fifty or sixty years old, about 1.5 meters tall, thin and small, dressed very casually, a white hurdle vest, and colorful beach shorts. He has a long face, small eyes, narrowed into a slit, and two mustaches under his nose.
It's so late, the gate is locked again, how can anyone stand in the courtyard? And they can see us.
As soon as we entered the door, he said hello to Huang Jian:
"Surprise me, Huang Jianjian, are you back? Don't knock on the door! ”
His voice was high-pitched and thin, and it sounded uncomfortable. As he spoke, he walked over with his flip-flops
"What's wrong with you? Got someone to roast? Alas? This kid looks quite young, why is he dying? ”
"It's hard to say, don't say it yet, old fairy, you have to do me a favor."
After Huang Jian finished speaking, he bowed to the thin old man. I didn't know what the situation was, so I quickly followed and bowed to the old man in front of me.
"Yo he! This little devil is quite polite. ”
The thin old man saw me saluting him, and looked me up and down a few times.
"Huang Jianjian, this will salute today, and it has passed the soul leaving period? You're always on time, and it's not your style to overdue. ”
Huang Jian smiled helplessly
"Don't make fun of me, old fairy, this kid is strange, he has no soul leaving period, so I have to go down and ask in a while. I'm a little bit of a problem with other things, old fairy. ”
"Sit down and talk, hey, this day is fine......"
The thin old man sat on the floor as he spoke, bathed in the moonlight. I wondered in my heart, the thin old man's big style, could it be the city god?
When we all sat down, the thin old man said to Huang Jian with a grin
"Hehe, come on, Huang Jianjian, what's the trouble, say it and give it to the old fairy."
Huang Jian smiled bitterly and simply told the thin old man what happened tonight.
The thin old fairy snorted after hearing this
"Li Helin, this kid put the stand-in again? This must be the eighty-one, right? ”
It turned out that the name of the water ghost Lao Li was Li Helin, and I remembered that this was my benefactor.
"yes, yes, this kid is the eighty-first he let go."
The old fairy nodded
"Let's not talk about him yet, you want me to help find the body of this little ghost, right?"
Huang Jian's face was full of embarrassment
"That's... More than. In addition to this, there is one more thing. ”
"You still want to meet the guy who whipped you with a stick. Look at where he came from, yes and no? ”
Huang Jian nodded
"I can't hide anything from the old fairy, to be honest, I haven't seen anyone with Taoism in my jurisdiction for twenty or thirty years."
A sly smile flashed across the thin old man's face
"Okay, these two things are not difficult to do, if you look up and don't look down, you will lose face to this ghost."
With that, stand up. Huang Jian also stood up and continued
"Don't worry, old fairy, you see that my time for this errand is up, I have to go down, and by the way, ask this little ghost what the situation is. Can you take care of this little ghost? ”
The thin old fairy snorted
"It's clean every day, go on, go, I'll talk to this little ghost. It's troublesome..."
After speaking, he took the string from Huang Jian's hand.
Huang Jian breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and walked into the main hall. The thin old fairy tugged at the rope in her hand:
"Let's get out of the way."
After speaking, he pulled me to the door of the side hall.
I felt like someone was being held like a dog for the night tonight. Where is this thin old fairy? Isn't it the City God? The experience of this night really destroyed the entire worldview I had built up for 20 years.
In his thoughts, Huang Jian came out of the gate of the main hall, followed by a string of ghosts!
There were about five or six of them, men and women, old-fashioned, expressionless, demented. This is the legendary ghost of the Soul Leaving Period, right? Several ghosts had strings around their necks, connected into a string, with the tip of the rope holding the end of the rope in his right hand and the token in his left hand.
I saw Huang Jian wave the token to the bottom of the steps of the main hall, and a large hole one meter square and bottomless appeared on the ground, the entrance of the cave was glowing with blue light, and the steps of the main hall extended along the hole.
Huang Jian led the string of ghosts step by step. As the last ghost enters the hole, the ground "Boom! The ground closed suddenly.
