"A dead beggar?"

The uncle nodded and said, "Don't worry, I've already made an appointment with this fellow, and when he gets off work, he will come to the hotel and tell us about the matter in detail." ”

After speaking, the uncle didn't speak again, but turned up the car music again.

In the music, a man was singing in a low voice, and the master was a little unaccustomed to it, but he was embarrassed to say that I saw it and said to the uncle: "How can this man sing is more ugly than our Taoist priests." ”

Uncle turned his head to look at me and smiled: "You are a child, what music do you know, this song is called "White Birch Forest", and it has won awards." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the uncle drove to the front of a hotel and entered the parking lot to park.

Uncle opened a few rooms, and in the afternoon, the fellow came, and Uncle asked us to go to his room.

After a few pleasantries, the fellow began to tell us about the strange things before.

A few days ago, a female beggar, old and ugly, suddenly died in the wasteland behind the construction site, which is said to have been discovered first by Wang Daring, and the specific process is not clear.

The uncle asked: "Isn't it normal for a beggar to die in this city, could it be that she lured away the bold soul?" ”

The fellow continued: "There is nothing strange about this, but later it turned out that the beggar had a lot of money and a pearl necklace hidden on him. It is said that the money was divided between Foreman Qu and a few people who went with him, of course, it is estimated that Daring also has a share, so later, some people involved suspected that it was the old beggar who took revenge, so they confused Daring and killed him. Those people were frightened and went to find the foreman Qu, but he suppressed him and didn't let them speak. I also got too drunk with one of them before I found out. ”

After listening to this, the uncle looked at the master and wanted to hear his opinion.

The master pondered for a moment and asked, "Does that old beggar have any characteristics?" ”

The fellow replied, "The people have been dead for a few days, and it is said that the corpses are beginning to decompose, and their faces are ugly, a bit like rats." And it is estimated that when he was young, he was also a merry and open lord, and he still had a tattoo on his waist. ”

The master hurriedly reconfirmed: "You said that the face looks like a mouse?" ”

The fellow nodded.

The uncle asked: "Daoist Chen, this old beggar looks like a mouse, and a few days ago there was a rat bite incident at the construction site, do you think there is any connection between this?" ”

The master thought for a while and said, "I see that there is a record in the Taoist book in the past, saying that there is a kind of evil art among the people, called rat control, which is to steal money by controlling rats. And this is a witchcraft, and over time, the person who performs the spell will become more and more like a mouse. I suspect that this beggar may be like this. We nodded, and the master continued: "And people like this have more and more like rats, and they are always afraid that others will worry about their treasures, so they generally set up evil magic on their bodies to prevent themselves from being harmed. ”

Then the master looked at the uncle and said, "It is estimated that Foreman Qu and the rest of the people who have shared the money are likely to have also been tricked, so you'd better let them come at night, and I'll see if I can get rid of this evil spell." ”

Uncle nodded and started calling.

At first, Foreman Qu refused to admit it, and the uncle couldn't talk about him, but just persuaded him that it was best to take a look together at night, even if he didn't take any treasures, he had to see what the Taoist priest did. After all, he is the person in charge here, and even if the Taoist priest does it, he has to monitor it, in case the priest sets some building materials on fire.

Foreman Qu had to reluctantly agree, and then the uncle asked everyone to have a meal together and began to summon spirits in the evening.

After eating, sending off the fellow countrymen, the uncle suddenly found me and the master, and said to the master: "Actually, I came back this time, there is another matter, I want to ask your opinion, after all, you are in us, and you are highly respected." ”

The master was very strange, in addition to the exorcism of evil spirits, what else did he need to ask.

Uncle glanced at me and said, "When I come back this time, the most important thing is that my second brother is going to pass Song Hao to me." ”

My uncle's second brother is my father. Uncle has settled in the south and has two daughters under his knees, but in our inherent thinking, we value boys more. After the uncle's daughter got married, she didn't have a son to support the elderly, so the father took the initiative to propose that the youngest son and I pass it on to the uncle.

My father never mentioned this to me at all.

The master thought for a moment, and then said, "That's fine, your eight characters don't clash with each other." Moreover, Song Hao is a Taoist priest, he is playing with his heart, and when he is tired, he will go back. Since your second brother proposed it, it is also a good intention, and I want you to rush back from afar, so I am willing to do it. ”

Uncle nodded and said, "I always thought that I had read books, and I wouldn't have old thoughts, and I found that my roots were still old feudal." After you go back, I have to ask you to pick a day and do it. ”

The master nodded, and the uncle happily went to do something else.

It's about me, but it doesn't seem to have anything to do with me at all.

The master saw that I was sullen and said with a smile: "Don't be unhappy, adults do things, but also for your children, you are poor at studying, and now you are a Taoist, and you will not be a Taoist priest in the future, I am afraid that there is no means to make a living, follow your uncle, at least you will have no worries about food and clothing in this life." ”

I didn't answer, I just thought to myself, adults sometimes really think that children are not yet grown up.

I suddenly realized that Aunt Dao didn't think the same way, so she said that I hadn't grown up, but she still gave me those Taoist books, hoping that I could grow up quickly.

Does she really care about me?

However, when I lost my aura, I felt that I had really lost my Dao heart.

In the evening, I changed into Taoist robes with my master and came to the construction site again.

The master found a vacant lot in the construction site and opened the altar.

On the altar table, there was a small piece of jade brought by the master from Qingshan Town, and an ever-bright lamp was lit, and the eight-character book of Brother Daring was put on yellow paper, and then burned and put it into the lamp.

There was a pile of burning paper burning next to the altar, and I stood on the edge with a magic sword in my hand.

Because it was not good to bring a real sword when entering the city, in the afternoon, the master just asked the uncle to buy a piece of peach wood and sharpen it into a sword.

After a while, the paper burned very strongly, the master carried the bell, walked in front, the uncle held a temporary painted flag, followed behind, I held the magic sword, walked at the end, three people along the altar, hoping that the ghost of Brother Daring would come back as soon as possible.

Soon, a crisp sound was suddenly heard.

I've heard this voice, it's the sound of jade cracking, which proves that Brother Daring's soul is coming.

I was rejoicing when suddenly, I heard a movement around me.

Tell me about it.

Through the headlights on the construction site, I saw that not far away, the grass in the wasteland was moving without wind.

The people around also noticed the abnormality and shone their flashlights over there.

The uncle noticed the abnormality, turned to the foreman Qu, and asked, "Where are there cats sold around here?" ”

Before Foreman Qu understood, he only heard the people around him start shouting, and saw countless big rats in the barren grass, like sea water, surging towards this side.

Foreman Qu shouted, "I'm going to buy a cat now." ”

Just as we were about to turn around, we saw many cracks in the ground in the other direction, and then, like mushrooms after a rain, countless rats broke through the ground and besieged us.

The master looked at both sides, and asked people to surround us with the remaining burning paper, spread it in a circle, and then took out the talisman seal, recited the spell, and threw the talisman seal onto the burning paper, and the burning paper was all ignited instantly.

We hide inside the burning circle, and outside the circle, countless rats gather.

The master took out the willow leaves, handed them to me, and said, "If you look around carefully, it is estimated that the ghost of the rat beggar is about to appear." ”

At this time, Foreman Qu was already half-squatting on the ground in fear, and the uncle said sharply: "You are greedy for money, look at these rats now have come to the door." ”

When Foreman Qu heard this, he hurriedly took out a piece of cloth from his bosom and opened it, which was full of jewelry and the like. When someone else heard this, they hurriedly took out the money and treasures on their bodies.

Foreman Qu half-knelt by the fire and cried: "Master Rat, I am greedy for money, and I mistakenly touched your things, and now all the things are returned to you, please let me go." ”

Several people next to him also echoed and knelt beside him.

I really want to be able to run the aura, and I must be able to feel where the ghost is.

At this time, the master found the abnormality and threw the talisman seal in one direction.

I saw the Fu Seal fly to the dark place on the side, and just near the edge, suddenly a hand grabbed the Fu Seal.

Then, a man wearing a mouse mask appeared there.

At first, I thought it was a beggar ghost, but when I looked closely, there were shadows under the light.

That proves that he is not a ghost, but a person, or a person wearing Taoist robes.
