I asked He Shao: "Have you ever heard of what it means to be red and white?" ”

He Shao shook his head like a fool, only thinking in his heart whether his girlfriend would like the surprise he prepared for her.

I had no choice but to explain to him: "It is a characteristic of ghosts to follow red and white when they see red, and they get angry when they see white." After a while, you put so many white Kong lanterns in the sky, didn't you make it clear that those things would surround you and embarrass you? ”

I think it's really like that fellow said, he's afraid to confess to the ghost tonight.

He Shao's heart jumped in horror when he heard this, and he pointed to the lotus river under the high slope and shouted: "Then why don't you hurry up and help me get it!" Xiao Tianshi! Tonight is important to me, I plan to propose to Xiaojing, but there can't be any moths. ”

When I saw that he had a good attitude, he only had a girlfriend in his eyes, and he was an idiot among the rich, so it would be okay to fulfill him.

He said, "Don't worry, since I'm here, I'll solve this matter." ”

Xiao Hanako pulled me aside when she heard this, and asked with a worried face, "Kunning, how are you going to solve it?" ”

I threw him a reassuring look: "You'll know in a moment." ”

He took out a stack of yellow table paper from his bag and said to He Shao: "Excuse me, call a few workers to come over and help, can you fold something with me?" ”

He Shao nodded again and again, and waved at the few people on the other side who were tossing Kong Ming's lanterns: "You guys come over to me!" Be careful, I've fired you! ”

Several workers hurriedly ran to He Shao.

He pointed at me again and said, "A few of you, you will all listen to Xiao Tianshi's arrangement for a while." Xiao Tianshi, I won't bother you for now! I have to go and see if the fireworks for Xiaojing have arrived. ”

"Go, go, go."

With a black line on my face, I looked at a few workers again, and distributed a stack of yellow table paper to each of them, and a stack to Xiao Yuhuazi and Lin Zhu: "I will teach you in a while to fold the paper into the shape of a lotus lantern." According to the method I taught, it is enough for one person to fold fifty. It should be done before dark. ”

Several workers nodded, and I hurried to teach them.

Lin Zhu asked me while folding: "Kunning, what are you folding these lotus lanterns for?" ”

"Put it in the lotus river!"

I quipped, "Add some romance to He Shao and her girlfriend!" ”

A freshly folded lotus lamp in Hanako's hand fell to the ground: "What is it?" ”

"Just kidding."

I said, "These lotus lanterns are used to attract souls. ”

The two of them became interested at once: "Soul attraction? ”

I nodded: "Didn't the file say that those children were missing in the lotus bush?" He also said that there were ghosts under the water, and they must have been dragged away by the ghosts. If I want to know what's going on under the water, I'm going to have to get the souls of those children to ask for clarification. ”

Lin Zhu suddenly realized: "Then why don't you use the traditional spiritualist ritual?" ”

I kept folding the lotus lantern in my hand, and explained: "The file says that so many gentlemen and heavenly masters have come to see the case of Lianhe, most of them are experienced and old-fashioned, and they are also born in the Yin and Yang or Heavenly Master families, and they must have used the traditional method of conjuring spirits a long time ago, but they have not solved it at all, so it can be seen that it does not work." ”

Xiao Hanako became interested when he heard it: "Then what is the principle of you putting a lamp in the lotus river to summon spirits?" ”

"Self-created principle."

I blinked mischievously: "This lotus river lantern was originally a custom of Qixi begging in some places, men and women by putting a lotus lantern into the river to express their thoughts of distant lovers, or people in love put lanterns together, praying for eternity." ”

"But one year, it was also the Qixi Festival, my senior brother and I went to the foot of Yunshan to play, and a lot of lotus lanterns were placed in the river. But I found that those lotus lanterns did not drift to their distant lovers with people's thoughts, but stagnated on the water, and even the wind could not blow away. I thought it was strange at the time, and when I wiped the tears of the cow, I saw that many unjust souls in the water were fluttering on the lotus lantern. I realized that it wasn't just moths, ghosts loved it too. ”

"Like moths, they have been buried in the cold river bottom for a long time, and they also expect a glimmer of light."

Xiao Hanako suddenly understood: "So even if the traditional spiritualist ritual can't attract the souls of the children, putting a lamp in the Lianhe River will definitely attract something under the river, even if it's not those children, you can ask about the situation under the water." ”

I nodded: "That's exactly why. ”

Soon, hundreds of lotus lanterns were folded.

When I looked up, the sky was just as red as blood.

It seems that tonight should be a clear sky, starry flowing, and a moonlit night with a long river of Tanabata.

Taking advantage of the fact that the workers were not leaving, I hurriedly took out a handful of candles from my bag, told Xiaoxiaohuazi to divide them into three sections, and handed them to the workers to put the candles in turn in the lotus lanterns, all as wicks.

After these are done, it is almost dark.

He Shao ran over at the right time: "How is it?" Has Xiao Tianshi finished? ”

I nodded: "I'm going to trouble you to find us a small canopy boat again, and we'll go to the Lianhe River to put lights in a while." ”

"That's not easy."

Young Master He pointed down the high slope: "When I came up just now, I happened to pass by the river, and I saw several people gathered by the river, and there were many awning boats parked on the side, so I asked them to borrow one." ”

Soon it took us to the river.

I saw a group of people gathered in front of a cluster of lotus flowers, some of them pointing at each other, as if they were looking at something. When I got closer, I heard a crying voice in the crowd: "Son! O son! Come back! ”

Pushing aside the crowd, dozens of people were kneeling on the ground, both men and women, most of them in their thirties and forties.

All of them cried and scattered: "Son! Why are you so ruthless, you don't see anyone dead or a corpse, even if you die, you don't come back to see your mother, and you don't even report a dream. Woo woo woo oh! Come back! ”

On the side of the mountain stood a Taoist priest wearing a yellow robe and a square hat.

When he saw the people on the ground crying like something, not only did he not comfort him, but he also pointed at them with a copper coin sword in one hand and a finger at them: "Hey! Yeah! Cry! Cry hard! ”

The person kneeling on the ground was originally a little dry-mouthed, but who knew that after listening to the voice of the yellow-robed Taoist priest, he cried even harder.

A piece of ah, ah, come back quickly, the sound of the soul resounded over the Lianhe River.

There is a cry, there is a Taoist priest.

Looking at their posture, are they summoning spirits?

He Shao didn't know what they were doing, but when he saw this scene, he was not happy, and he saw that the person in charge of Lianhe Village was also standing on the side eating melons, so he went up and patted him on the shoulder: "I said buddy, I'm going to spend Qixi Festival with my girlfriend on the edge of the Lianhe River now, and my girlfriend will be at the scene soon, what's the matter with you looking for a group of people to cry and grab the land here?" ”

The person in charge was also embarrassed: "Ouch! He Shao, can't I help it? ”

"Who told these people not to think about their sons on Qixi Festival, their sons and daughters, didn't they disappear in Liancong before? This year, I was fooled by a Taoist priest that I could summon spirits, and I came one by one to catch up with this day. ”

When I heard this, I looked at the Taoist priest.

I saw that he had a roe deer, a pair of triangular eyes, and a nose with large nostrils, and he was not a master at first glance.

But seeing that his treasury was red and without a baffle, and his nostrils were so big that he couldn't even hold five yuan, he must have run out of money and pretended to be a Taoist priest to deceive.

So he went up and saluted him: "Hello this senior brother! ”

He didn't expect to bite the gold halfway, and he replied at a loss: "Fusheng Amitayus Buddha, polite and polite." ”

You are a ghost, Nima even made up his name.

What kind of blessed life Amitayus Buddha, Taoism does not have this title at all.

When I saw it, I asked, "Senior brother, I don't know who I studied with?" Where are you now? ”

"What's the matter with you?"

The yellow-robed Taoist priest was originally trembling, but when he heard me ask him where he came from, he panicked and put on a very fierce look: "Who are you?" Ask a long question here? ”

I flashed the silver bell in front of him: "Heavenly Master's Mansion." ”

When he saw this, he was shocked, and he threw down the copper coin sword in fright and ran away from the crowd.

We hurriedly chased out, but we saw that the man took off his yellow robe and threw it on the ground as he ran, and even took off the hat on his head and threw it away.

Lin Zhu picked up the yellow robe on the ground, opened the placket of his underwear and took a look, and there were several beautiful small characters of Xishan Luan Crane embroidered with silk thread.

Lin Zhu saw that these words were quite stylish, which was very different from the obscene style of the person who wore him just now, so he said: "It must be that person who stole Luan Hezi's Taoist robe just now and came out to deceive." ”

"What's more,"

I said, "When he heard the three words of the Heavenly Master's Mansion, his frightened soul was almost gone, and he ran faster than a rabbit, he must have committed something, maybe he is still a wanted criminal in the Heavenly Master's Mansion." ”

Lin Zhu nodded: "That makes sense, I'll ask grandma to check this person when I go back." ”

As we were talking, a hand reached out out of nowhere and grabbed my arm, and at the same time an extremely unfriendly voice sounded: "What's the matter with you little girl?" In a few words, you drove away the master we had worked so hard to invite, so that we could not find our son, what are your intentions? ”
