Chapter 9 Two short and one long
He looked at me and said, "Xiaohuai, you must know that there is no free lunch in the world." ”
I was stunned, and I didn't understand it at first, so I said, "Are you going to eat?" I'll do it for you now. ”
Zhang Yiqing said with a wry smile on his face: "That's not what I mean, I'll tell you directly, Xiaohuai, I can help you, but you have to promise me a condition when the time comes." ”
I just understood the meaning of Zhang Yiqing's saying that there is no free lunch in the world, I looked at Zhang Yiqing and thought, won't it be for me to recognize him as a godfather, I asked: "What conditions?" ”
Zhang Yiqing said: "I can't say it yet, but don't worry, this condition must be within the range you can bear." ”
When I heard Zhang Yiqing say this, I didn't think much about it, and I readily agreed.
Zhang Yiqing smiled and said to me, "Then let's go." ”
I closed the door, and then walked out with Zhang Yiqing, there was no one on the road, I walked side by side with Zhang Yiqing, I opened my mouth and asked Zhang Yiqing: "Master Zhang, where are we going now?" ”
The people here call the powerful people, and they usually call the master.
Zhang Yiqing looked at me in surprise when he heard me call him Master Zhang, and then said, "Now let's go to Qinkou River." ”
My father's body was fished up from the Qinkou River, and now he said to go to the Qinkou River, does he mean that my father's soul is in the Qinkou River, I asked Zhang Yiqing: "Master Zhang, is my father's soul in the Qinkou River?" ”
Zhang Yi said lightly: "When you arrive, you'll know." ”
We are not far from the Qinkou River, about fifteen minutes walking, the wind by the river blows, blowing on people's faces, giving people a pleasant feeling.
It's just that now the Qinkou River has been cut off, and a large part of the location is dry and there is no water.
Zhang Yiqing took me forward, in the night, the flashlight illuminated the road ahead, and walked along the river for about half an hour, and I saw that there seemed to be a pool of water in front of me, because the flashlight shone on it, and it was still reflecting.
We came to the puddle of water.
It was like a low-lying area in the Qinkou River, and it was filled with water, and we went down the river to the water.
The water looked so deep that you couldn't see the bottom of the flashlight.
And there is no water at the front and back ends of this puddle of water, and only the middle one remains.
Zhang Yiqing looked seriously at the water, then squatted down, touched his hand in the water, the water quickly shook, he pulled out his hand and said, "Xiaohuai, if it's right, your father's soul should be in the water." ”
As soon as I heard this, I wondered if my dad was killed by a water ghost.
I expressed the doubts in my heart, Zhang Yiqing looked at me and said, "You know a lot, your father's soul is below, if I let you go down to fish, will you dare?" ”
I grew up by the Qinkou River since I was a child, and the water is not bad, let me go down and fish up my father's soul, I dare, I nodded to Zhang Yiqing, Zhang Yiqing smiled lightly, and then I saw Zhang Yiqing take out three incense sticks from his back, and the three incense sticks were quickly lit by him.
He said to me, "I'll ask the people in here first, let us take them away." ”
I didn't know what Zhang Yiqing meant by this, but I still nodded and said okay.
Zhang Yiqing's face was solemn for a while, and then he opened his mouth and began to read: "People are in charge of people, and souls are in charge of ghosts. ”
After Zhang Yiqing finished reading, I saw him insert the three sticks of incense in his hand into the water, and he quickly withdrew his hand.
I thought that the three sticks of incense would be poured into the water, but I was wrong, and I saw that the three sticks of incense were planted in the soil, as if they were planted in the soil.
I stared at my pockets and thought to myself, this one really has real skills.
This exposed hand is not comparable to ordinary people.
Not long after, the three sticks of incense were dragged into the water, and they entered vertically, as if they were grabbing the three sticks of incense into the river with one hand.
Soon the three sticks of incense were submerged, and the water surface was calm again.
Zhang Yiqing continued to read: "With my order, summon the soul to come quickly, come out!" ”
There was a burst of black gas on the surface of the water, and at this time my heart was hanging in my throat, staring at the river, my eyes didn't dare to blink, and I didn't know what Zhang Yiqing wiped on my eyes last time, and after wiping it, I could see ghosts or something.
At this time, I saw the black gas, and my heart beat faster.
Then I saw a ghost, coming out of the water, but when I saw the appearance of the spirit, I knew it wasn't my father.
I wanted to tell Zhang Yiqing immediately, but Zhang Yiqing was one step ahead of me, and with a flick of his sleeve, the soul that came out was quickly suppressed.
I thought it was Zhang Yiqing who didn't say my dad's name, so I couldn't summon the soul, thinking, I told Zhang Yiqing my dad's name when I opened my mouth, Zhang Yiqing heard it, and then I pronounced my dad's name, and the water suddenly seemed to be boiled by boiling water, and it didn't take long for me to see a black shadow coming out of it.
It's just that this black shadow just came out of a forehead, and suddenly there was a gust of wind on the river, and this gust of wind was very strong, and the big blow made waves on the water, and then it pressed the soul down.
Along with it, the three incense sticks that originally entered the water flew out upside down and fell into Zhang Yiqing's hands.
Zhang Yiqing caught the three sticks of incense, looked at them, and found that the three sticks of incense had burned into two short and one long, Zhang Yiqing's face was a little gloomy, and said: "People are afraid of three long and two short, and incense is afraid of two short and one long." ”
I leaned over and said, "Master Zhang, what do you mean?" Is my dad's soul still fished out? ”
Zhang Yiqing nodded and said, "Fished out, but not now, your father is afraid that there is something to hide from you." ”
"Hiding it from me?"
Zhang Yiqing stood up slowly, and then extinguished the incense in his hand and said: "Xiaohuai, these three incense sticks are what I used to ask the ghosts and gods to make way, but these three incense sticks and ghosts not only did not accept them, but also burned them into two short and one long, this is a fierce appearance, your father may have done something to provoke the ghosts." ”
When I heard this, my heart sank, and I said anxiously: "Master Zhang, how could my father do something that provoked ghosts and gods?" Am you mistaken? ”
Zhang Yiqing said: "The incense is burned like this, how can you be mistaken." ”
Zhang Yiqing looked at me, got up and said to me: "If this matter is not clarified, the ghosts and gods in this river will not let your father go." ”
"Is my dad still saved?"
"Yes." Zhang Yiqing told me categorically.
Zhang Yiqing took me to the shore, all the way I was muttering in my heart, I was worried about my dad, now I know that my dad's soul is sinking in the Qinkou River, I want to rescue him even more, but I have no ability myself, I can only wait for Zhang Yiqing to help.
When I arrived at the riverbank, Zhang Yiqing's eyes stayed on me, looked at me a few times, and said: "You have bad luck, in fact, it stands to reason that you should have been born with your mother, but your mother is dead, but you are still alive, don't you think this is very strange?" ”
"Strange?" I muttered.
In fact, how do I know that my mother gave birth to me and died, but I am still alive, is there a problem?
"It's strange, I'm afraid that your father has actually done something to your life and let you live until now."
Zhang Yiqing sighed leisurely as he spoke.
"Can my dad still have this ability?" I asked rhetorically, and in my impression, my dad could be said to know nothing about these things.
"Even if your dad doesn't, your dad can find someone to help, and now you have to know how your dad changed your life."
I took a deep breath, I didn't expect my dad to hide so deeply.
Zhang Yiqing continued to walk forward, all I can think of now is that the person who helped my dad can only be Yang Duangong, otherwise, I really can't think of others.
I quickly told Zhang Yiqing about the possibility that my godfather might help my dad.
Zhang Yiqing said: "Then go to his house and see what he says?" ”
I hummed, along the Qinkou River we walked towards Yang Duangong's house, now the time is almost ten o'clock, we arrived at Yang Duangong's house at half past ten, I raised my hand and knocked on the door, and shouted: "Godfather." ”
There was an answer inside, and the door creaked open.
After the door opened, my godfather saw me and Zhang Yiqing coming, and quickly gave way.
