When the boss brought the small coffin to the glass cabinet in front of me, I smelled a faint smell of incense and candles, which was the smell of long-term worship and retention.

What kind of small coffin is this, and why should it be enshrined?

I have heard of worshipping gods and ancestors, but I have never heard of worshipping a small coffin.

It makes my heart go hairy.

The boss said: "You want this coffin!" ”

His eyes were lifeless, like the eyes of a dead man, cold, and goosebumps would arise at the first glance.

I cramped, "I ......"

To be honest, I don't want it anymore.

The boss said in a stiff tone: "Waste my time", and said that he was about to put the small coffin away again.

As soon as I heard it, I was upset: "Who said I don't want it anymore." ”

The boss's eyes stared at me and said, "Afterlife, do you really want it?" ”

I said, "Yes, why not, tell me how much?" ”

The boss said, "No money." ”

I couldn't help but feel strange when I heard it, someone opened a store to sell things for no money, didn't he deliberately tease me: "I really don't want money?" ”

The boss said, "I really don't want money, you wait for me." ”

After saying that, he took out a bamboo ladder from the back room, climbed up to the roof, and took down the blue lantern hanging on it.

The boss said: "These two things are a pair, you can take them." ”

Is the blue lantern a pair with a small coffin?

I became more and more confused, and asked, "These two things can't be beaten with eight poles, how can they be a pair?" ”

The boss said coldly: "I said it's a couple, it's a couple." ”

This temper, I have seen a lot of people who open stores and sell things, and it is the first time I have seen such a rush, and it is strangely tight, and it doesn't cost money to sell things.

This small coffin is definitely a master's shot from wood to craftsmanship, and the cost is probably not low.

It carries a lot of weight in your hand, almost like holding a large gold bar in your hand.

I looked at the blue lantern again, it was a papier-mâché lantern.

The blue paste paper is a little faded and gray, but there is no tear, and it is quite elastic when you touch it lightly with your hand.

Look at the candle inside, it's a red candle.

It feels weird, like a fake candle, and when you look closely, you realize that it is made of wood.

Red candles made of wood?

Can this lantern still be used?

The boss said, "Take your things and leave." ”

I thought that this boss didn't need money to sell things, so it was better to take a little more at his house, and said: "In addition, bring me some glutinous rice, red string, incense candles, mirrors, white wine, and the best 70-degree old white gan." ”

The boss said angrily: "I only do dead people's business here, and I don't have anything you want." ”

I saw a cardboard box not far from the door, and there were candles piled up in it, so I took one and said, "It's not that there is an incense candle, bring me some." ”

The boss shouted nervously: "Put it down, who told you to take things indiscriminately." ”

I dropped the candle on the floor in fright.

Syllable!

The candle broke into two knots.

The boss hurriedly ran out, picked up the candle that was broken in two, and said angrily: "Do you know how much effort I wasted making these candles? ”

I hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to." ”

The two broken candles are connected by a light line, which is usually white, but the light line of this candle is red.

The boss took the candle that was broken in two and said distressedly: "What's the use of saying I'm sorry, it's all like this." ”

I said, "How much, I'll accompany you." ”

The boss said: "Accompany, what do you take to accompany, do you take your life to accompany?" ”

I muttered to myself, didn't I just break a candle and say it so exaggeratedly?

I smelled an unusually nauseous stench, as if it came from the palm of my own hand, and I almost fainted when I picked it up.

I'll go.

It's like being loaded headlong into a stinking gutter.

Why is it so stinky, and greasy, it's something on it.

Wax?

I covered my nose with my other hand and said, "Damn, why does this candle stink so much?" ”

The boss said: "What do you know as a young boy, this is called 'human fire lamp', hey...... I didn't understand it when I told you. ”

"Human fire lamp?"

I've seen it in the book given to me by the blind.

It is said that a person has three fires, one on the top of his head, one on his left and one on his shoulder, and this human fire lamp can only be lit by human fire.

The evil is very afraid.

I said, "Are you bragging, is this really a 'human fire lamp'?" ”

When the boss saw that I knew about the 'human fire lamp', he couldn't help but look at me with admiration, and said: "I didn't expect you to know the 'human fire lamp', then you should know how much it cost me to make such a candle." ”

The blind man's book only mentions it, and does not write about how to make it.

Listening to the boss's tone, the price must be very high.

I said, "Boss, I really didn't mean to......"

The boss said: "Forget it, those who don't know are not guilty, I was also at fault just now, and I scared you." ”

There is such a good thing, how can I let it go.

I relied on the boss to ask him to sell me one, but the boss refused to live or die, so I relied on his store and refused to leave.

The boss was so annoyed by me that he couldn't give me the candle that had been broken in two.

The boss said: "Broken candles are more difficult than ordinary candles, and, you know, you can't use them." ”

Wrap the candle in a newspaper and stuff it in your pants pocket.

The boss was a little impatient with me and said, "Grab your things and leave, hurry up." ”

And I was cast out.

I was holding a small coffin in my left hand and a purple lantern in my right hand.

A small coffin is just that.

But the blue lantern is very inconvenient to carry in the hand, and the lantern is useless, the candle inside is made of wood, and it cannot be lit at all.

I saw a garbage can not far away.

I walked over and threw the blue lantern in my hand and threw it in the trash.

Then go to the incense candle shop to buy ingot candles.

Turn right according to what the boss said, and after walking for a long time, you will see a stone staircase leading to Qingyun Temple.

When I walked here, it was lively all at once.

You can see people buying ingots candles everywhere, and there are even more fortune tellers.

I bought incense candles, yellow paper, and red string.

In addition, some glutinous rice, old wine, mirrors and the like have to be bought in the supermarket.

It was already noon when I returned home after buying everything, so I went to the kitchen to get the jar out and soaked the glutinous rice with white wine.

He also drew a gossip diagram on a mirror with cinnabar and hung it on the door.

Then use ink to dye the red string black.

At this time, the phone in the living room rang, and it was Lin Dong calling.

Lin Dong said: "Mingtong, didn't you ask me to investigate Chen Qianqian?" She did study at Jian'an University, but was expelled from the school. ”

I exclaimed, "Expulsion, why?" ”

Lin Dongdao: "It's not clear, after she was expelled from school, she came to Xichuan City and worked in a textile factory. ”

Of course.

was expelled from school, and she returned to her hometown with a face, so she found a job in Xichuan.

No wonder I didn't even go home for the New Year after two years.

I went with Lin Dong to the Zhixin Textile Factory in Xichuan City, which is located on the outskirts of the city.

This is a large factory, state-run.

I found the factory director with Lin Dong, Lin Dong revealed the identity of the policeman, and the factory director was willing to cooperate with the investigation, but I heard that I wanted to find the information of Chen Qianqian, who joined the company six years ago.

The factory director's face changed slightly.

"The old materials are in the old office building, which has been abandoned," he said. ”

Lin Dong said: "As long as the information is there." ”

The factory director was embarrassed and said: "It's not that I don't want to, it's true, it's really the old office building is very evil...... There, there's haunting. ”

I glanced at Lin Dong: "Haunted? ”

The old office building is a small three-story building, the doors and windows are already dilapidated, the door lock is rusty and cobwebs, and the path next to it is overgrown with weeds.

It does look like it's been abandoned for years.

Lin Dongdao: "There are ghosts in this building?" ”

When this thing said this, his tongue was stiff, and he straightened it, and he probably trembled with fear.

To be honest, I'm scared too.

Closing his eyes, it was dark in front of him, and his sword finger crossed in front of him, there was nothing abnormal in the old building in the dark, and there was no yin qi condensation in the sky above the floor.

On the contrary, it is the yin qi of the grove behind the old building that gathers and does not disperse.

I said, "Let's go in." ”

The old building was very mildew and mixed with the stench, and then I heard the squeaking of rats, and the contents were thrown in a mess and covered with cobwebs.

Following the director's prompts, we found the archives.

The previous employee who managed the files should have been a very careful person, and the files were organized very clearly according to the year.

It didn't take much time to find Qianqian's information.

The first page of the flip is the profile, and in the upper right corner is her photo, which seems to emit a faint green light in the dimly lit room.

I couldn't help but be stunned, that day at Zhang Laohan's house, his posthumous photo also emitted green light under spiritism.

I had a very bad feeling in my heart.

Could it be that something happened to Qianqian?
