Volume 1, Ghost Town of the Bone Forest_Chapter 16, Passerby (2)

Passers-by generally don't bother people, and mostly go on their own, but if they run into one of the unjust creditors, it will be troublesome. The so-called unjust creditor, to put it clearly, is that he has no wish in the world, hoping to entangle a living person with relatively greater good fortune, and use this person's good fortune to cut off his karma, so that he can be reincarnated.

But when I was in my twenties, I didn't understand this kind of thing at all, and I didn't have a master to teach me, and the only remaining bit of knowledge came from the legends and folk tales of the older generation.

The two heads floating in front of me were not good at a glance, and followed me all the way to Shanghai from the train, and I didn't appear again for half a month, I thought that this matter was over, but I didn't think that I only entered the Xuanming Temple during the day, and came to me at night to find trouble.

The first two times each came, but this time it was both, and the heads of the old woman and the gloomy child kept laughing horribly, and my ears were "......buzzing", and my whole heart was beating so violently that even I could feel the strong vibration of my heart when it was beating.

Knowing that he couldn't make a sound when he opened his mouth, he simply forcibly calmed down, and touched the amulet given by Daba little by little with his arm. It was this amulet that saved my life the previous time, and the kid was afraid of it, so I used it as a way to save my life.

The white snake shuttled through the child's eyes, and the snake slowly poked its head out, apparently trying to attack me. On the other side, the worms from the old woman's mouth landed on my blanket, and several centipedes as long as her middle finger twisted their bodies and crawled slowly towards me.

The situation became more and more critical, I stood up and retreated to the edge of the corner, the two passers-by did not dare to approach, but the white snake and the centipede were getting closer and closer to me. I frowned as I saw that the white snake had lifted a small half of its body, which was a signal for the snake to attack.

In desperation, I jerked off the amulet around my neck, and then threw it on the child's head, and as soon as the amulet fell on the child's face, the child immediately let out a scream, and the sound was like a fingernail cutting through the glass, and my head swelled. But the effect is good!

The child's head was hit by the amulet, and it immediately retreated, and a large black spot appeared on its face, as if it had been burned. The White Snake stopped its attack and crawled backwards. Without snakes, I was not stunned at all by the centipedes, and suddenly lifted the blanket and shook the centipedes out, and then took the opportunity to run out of the room, but as soon as I jumped out of bed, I felt a pain in my shoulder, I looked back, but saw that the old woman actually opened her mouth and bit my shoulder.

"Damn, let go!"

I was anxious at that time, how to exorcise ghosts and demons, I don't know, there is every magic weapon in the house, I only know how to rush forward with brute force, the old woman bit me with a heartache, as if the teeth in its mouth pierced my skin, but there was no blood, I dragged the old woman's head forward and picked up the amulet on the ground, turned around and pressed it desperately on the center of the old woman's forehead.

", let you bite me!"

At this time, he didn't have time to pay attention to the gossip in his mouth, and only thought about letting the old woman loosen her mouth. It reacted like a child, screaming in pain, finally letting go, and I stumbled a few forwards to open the door and fell into the living room.

This fall really woke me up from the nightmare, and I was sweating profusely, I sat on the bed and saw that the blanket on my body had been completely lifted, my shoulders hurt, and I still had palpitations in the dark. When I walked to the bathroom and looked in the mirror, I gasped. A tooth mark on my shoulder was clearly reflected in the mirror, it was not bleeding but it was very red, and it was very clear to the touch.

The last time I hit a child, I was strangled by a white snake, and when I woke up the next day, I saw obvious strangulation marks on my arm. This time I was bitten by an old woman and there were tooth marks, and I couldn't help but worry in my heart, if I was killed in a nightmare, would I really not wake up for a long time?

The next day the fat man came to my house, and I told me about it, and the two of us sat down for more than an hour.

"I think you will be dizzy when you enter Xuanming Temple, and the reason for this may have something to do with these two passers-by who pestered you."

The fat man whispered, but I wasn't too surprised, because I had thought of this before.

"According to what you mean, it's because I have two ghosts wrapped around me, so I entered Xuanming Temple and angered the Bodhisattva, and the Bodhisattva didn't let me in and stunned me. It makes sense......"

I said with some humility.

"But this fucking doesn't mean that Xuanming Temple has the blessing of the Bodhisattva, so if we go in and touch things, will it really anger the Bodhisattva, don't ruin your life because of tens of thousands of dollars."

The fat man and I thought about it again, in fact, it was also a big taboo for me and the fat man later. In the words of the beads, the lock ghost is the first, the old man is second, and the funeral is third.

Ordinary people can't understand this, and they need to be explained.

Basically, locking the ghosts in ritual weapons, similar to the Daba Divine Stick or the Mortan Bronze Coins, which can be sold for a good price without retribution, is the favorite errand of their group. The second is to get the magic weapon that opened the light from the hands of the old monk or the old Taoist priest, which is relatively expensive but will not lose yin longevity, so it is called a second-class errand. These three are the burial goods in the tomb, but there is a group of people robbing the tomb in the tomb, beads they are rarely involved in the business, the rules in the tomb do not understand, especially the famous characters in history after the death of where will be the general ghosts, the poem says well: life as a hero, death is also a ghost. When you are alive, you are a dragon among people, and you are not easy to mess with when you die. However, if you want to make ends meet, you can't do it by touching the grave once.

However, there are two places that you should never touch unless you have to, namely the old temple and the Taoist temple. Even if there is no incense, it is also the territory of the Bodhisattva and the gods, you are an ordinary man, don't you look for death if you touch this moldy head?

However, when I was young, the fat man and I didn't understand this kind of thing at all. I just felt taboo, and after thinking about it, the fat man lit a cigarette, and suddenly said, "Do you remember that there is a dark garden behind Xuanming Temple?" ”

"You're going to touch the sacrifice?" I asked, slightly surprised.

"What do I want that rotten fruit! I mean, there might be earth beasts in the Garden of Hades, didn't you read that book? Let's try to catch an earth beast in the Garden of Hades and sell it for money! ”

As soon as the fat man said this, my brain immediately woke up, modern society, especially in Shanghai, let alone mountains, even if there are few rivers that are larger, it is almost impossible to find earth beasts in the mountains as written in the book. But if it is a place with heavy yin qi such as the Underworld, you can harvest if you don't keep it even.

"Okay!" I nodded immediately, "But I have to get rid of these two passers-by on me first, or I won't dare to sleep at night." Do you know any old mages in the temple there? ”

The fat man pursed his lips and thought for a long time before he whispered: "My grandfather seems to have an old comrade-in-arms who knows a little bit about this, I'll go back and help you ask, you wait for the letter." ”

The day I waited for the news was the most unsteady time in my twenty years of life, and I didn't dare to sleep at night, and my parents couldn't say anything about it. I watched "Strange Tales of the Mountains and Wilds" in my room all night, and I was still holding the amulet given by Daba tightly in my hand, and I drank several cups of strong tea in a row, and finally survived until the next day.

The fat man called at noon and asked me to meet on Lianyue Road.

Lianyue Road is near Jiading in Shanghai, and I took a bus for more than two hours to get there, passing through the crowded and dark alleys to my destination.

In front of me is an old mansion, with an old wooden door and a copper pull ring, and a pair of somewhat faded door gods pasted on it. It looks like a very ordinary family, not quite like the feeling of those who are out of the world in my imagination.

I knocked on the door, it was the fat man who opened the door for me, and after seeing me, he looked a little serious and whispered: "Inside is my grandfather's old comrade-in-arms, surnamed Han, and the neighbors in the neighborhood call him Master Han." You go in politely, don't talk too much. ”

I nodded hurriedly, and when I walked into the courtyard, I looked up and saw a birdcage hanging under the porch, in which a black starling was raised. This starling has round eyes and has been staring at me since he hit me and entered the door.

The fat man led me forward, and when I got to the bottom of the birdcage, I suddenly heard this starling chirping.

"Two ghosts, two ghosts ......"
