Chapter Twenty-Three: The Fire Dragon Soars to the Sky
According to Uncle Li's explanation, some people have their appearance ruined for some reason before they die, even if they become ghosts after death, they have no facial features, usually speaking, they have no face.
Ghosts without faces, the underworld generally does not accept them, so this kind of ghost wanders in the world, the biggest purpose is to search for a suitable face, to put it bluntly, it is to find a stand-in, only if you find a suitable stand-in, this kind of ghost can be reincarnated.
According to my description, Uncle Li said that the fat man must be a ghost, and also said that this kind of ghost belongs to a kind of powerful ghost, but what he can't figure out is that the fat man has been with me for so long, and it stands to reason that there is a chance to kill me, but why didn't he do it, but saved me twice?
In fact, this is also the place I wonder the most, is it possible, just like Uncle Li said, the fat man is looking for a face that suits him, and my face is not suitable for him?
Even if that's the case, he can't save me one after another, right? Since Uncle Li said that the fat man is a powerful ghost, he would be so kind to help me with the taboo of offending his "peers"?
Uncle Li repeatedly instructed me, saying that since the fat man did not harm me for the time being, at least I was safe for a short time, so that I must not behave abnormally, and not let the fat man suspect me, only in this way can I temporarily save my life.
As for how to deal with the fat man, Uncle Li said that before he figured out the fat man's intentions, this kind of thing is better than being quiet, and it is better to wait and see what happens than to startle the snake, and said that when I go back, I will take him to meet the fat man.
After hanging up the phone, my mind couldn't calm down for a long time, although Uncle Li said that the fat man would not harm me for the time being, but since I already knew that he was a ghost, I couldn't do it at all if I was asked to pretend to be nothing.
I thought about running away, but in this way, it is bound to make the fat man suspect, and I am really in danger when the time comes, although I have never dealt with ghosts, but those ghosts on TV have come and gone without a trace, God knows what means the fat man has.
Sitting in the small chair in the supermarket until dawn, I hesitated, but finally sighed and returned to the van of the security guard under the highway.
The security guard is still asleep, I sneaked out last night, it seems that he doesn't know.
I woke up the security guard and asked him to take me back.
The security guard hummed in a daze, hit the steering wheel, and drove the car back to the service area, in the car, I told the security guard, I will put it down and leave immediately, if the fat man in the car asked what we did last night? Let's just say that I spent one night in the hospital.
After saying that, I gave the security guard 500 yuan, which is considered hush money.
Looking at the dragon card that gradually appeared in front of me, I didn't want to be more entangled, at that moment, I wished that the car could drive slower, so that I could see the fat man later.
However, it was still necessary to come, and in the blink of an eye, the van had stopped next to Longka.
What else can I do now? I could only get out of the car and walk slowly towards Longka.
With every step I take, I will subconsciously pause, and my legs seem to be filled with lead at the moment, as if my body is resisting me, telling me not to get close to the fat man.
Click!
What I didn't expect was that just as I was about to get to the edge of the dragon card, the car door opened by itself, and then the fat man jumped out of the car with a basin and toiletries.
Looking at each other, the fat man was stunned for a moment, and then asked me with a wicked smile, can you still pull it?
My heart was beating harder and harder, but I still managed to squeeze out a smile and said that the doctor had done a gastroscopy on me and it was much better.
The fat man nodded and told me to get in the car and sleep for a while, and he would buy me some and come back early.
Looking at the back of the fat man leaving, I was a little confused, really, for a moment, I even hoped that the fat man could show his true face, even if he ate me, this kind of frightened and frightened days, I really had enough.
I didn't go to the back warehouse to sleep, I just sat in the co-pilot's seat in a daze, the fat man in the back warehouse had been lying down, and I wouldn't have gone if I was killed.
The fat man came back soon, still carrying two sets of pancakes in his hand, threw me one set, ate it by himself, and asked me vaguely, why don't you sleep for a while?
I shook my head and said I couldn't sleep.
The fat man laughed and said Brother, your eyes are full of bloodshots, and you don't sleep yet? You can't be stupid by that old lady, are you?
I didn't speak, I just ate a pancake with my head bored: scared silly by the old lady? Lao Tzu is obviously scared by you, right?
The car drove up the highway again, and during this time, the fat man told me to go to bed, and said that he was there, and promised that the old woman would not dare to come.
I said thank you, Brother Hu, I really can't sleep.
"Love to sleep or not, see who is uncomfortable in the end", the fat man glanced at me, lit a cigarette while driving, took a puff and asked me, "By the way, the invoice from the hospital will be given to me later, and I will have to be reimbursed when I go back." ”
I was shocked in my heart, and said that I forgot about this stubble, "That, Brother Hu, I forgot to ask for the invoice, otherwise, I will pay for the money myself." ”
"Are you rich? With 3,000 gas and 1,000 medical expenses, how much do you earn in a month? The fat man skimmed me and continued: "Forget it, it's okay if you don't have an invoice, you can give me the list of those diagnoses, I have a good relationship with the little girl of Night Charm, grind and grind her, let her say hello to the finance, and I can also give a report to some extent." ”
"List? Oh no, I forgot that one in the hospital", I continued to play dumb.
"Did you say you kid was really fucking scared out of that old lady? Come on, what do you like, anyway, four thousand yuan, you kid must pay me back every penny when I go back", the fat man seemed to be a little angry, and scolded in his mouth.
I nodded and asked the fat man, how far is it to Zibo?
The fat man tilted his head and glanced at the side of the road, saying that he didn't see the sign written on it. There are still 200 kilometers to Zibo, and it is estimated that it will be there at noon today.
I was secretly glad in my heart, and said to hurry up, when I arrived in Zibo, I immediately went to find a temple, even if it was to ask for a talisman, so that I could feel better.
It was a full 4-hour drive, and when we arrived in Zibo, it was exactly 11 o'clock at noon.
After parking the car, the fat man said hello to the workers in the factory, came over and patted me on the shoulder, saying that he would take me to lunch.
I shook my head and said no, if I was fine, I would go back to the hotel and go to bed.
The fat man thought about it, then nodded, and said that it was okay, you kid didn't sleep for a night and a morning, and it was okay to rest.
Where the fat man went, I don't know, almost the moment I left the fat man, I immediately took a taxi and asked the driver to take me to the nearest temple.
I don't know if the driver took me on a detour, but I drove for an hour anyway, and finally the car went straight out of the city before I slowly stopped at the foot of a mountain.
I sneered and said buddy, are you kidding me? I told you to find the nearest temple, and you pulled me out of the city?
When the driver heard this, he was immediately unhappy, saying that why don't I know what to do? He also said that this temple was the most prosperous temple in their book, and if I didn't believe it, just go and complain to him.
The driver's appearance didn't want to lie, I didn't continue to talk nonsense with him, but got out of the car after paying, of course, when I got out of the car, I wrote down his license plate number, in case this grandson fooled me, Lao Tzu turned around and complained to him.
After inquiry, the temple that the driver said was built on the mountainside, and it was said that the mountain was really high, and when you looked up along the steps, you couldn't see the top of the mountain at all.
But this is not difficult for me, since I have been running all over the mountains, climbing mountains or something.
People who have been on incense know that the incense time is generally in the morning, but the people here don't know why, it's all this point, and the people who go up the mountain are still in an endless stream of threes and threes, is it possible, the driver didn't fool me, this temple is really spiritual?
It seems to have just rained here last night, and the steps are a little damp and slippery to walk on.
"Handsome guy, are you also here to see the fire whirlwind?"
Suddenly, just as I was climbing the mountain, a female voice suddenly came from behind me, startling me.
I looked back and saw a beautiful woman with shawl hair wearing a hiking hat and a mountaineering suit staring at me with big eyes and a curious expression.
I stopped and asked her what kind of fire whirlwind she had, wasn't it all for the sake of worshipping the Buddha?
The girl giggled and said that I was a foreigner.
As she spoke, the girl pointed to the pedestrians around her and whispered, "Ninety percent of these people are not here to offer incense." ”
I was slightly stunned and asked her what she was doing.
"They're all here to see the fire whirlwind."
I was completely confused by her and asked her what a fire whirlwind is?
"That's it...... It's just, I can't say yes, why don't you just go with me and have a look? The girl's big eyes blinked, playfully.
"Oops! The fire whirlwind has appeared, everyone hurry up! Suddenly, a shout came from not far away.
When the people around me heard this, they all quickened their pace, and the people behind pushed me to a rest point halfway up the mountain, and the girl kept giggling beside me.
There are a lot of people at the rest point, although it is not crowded, but it is not much better, and it is full of people as far as the eye can see.
When I saw that everyone was looking towards the mountainside, I didn't know why, but I subconsciously looked over there.
There was nothing else on the mountainside, just dense trees, which looked quite eye-friendly.
Puzzled, I turned my head to look at the girl, "What's so nice about this?" ”
"Don't worry...... Wait, hey, look! Before she could finish speaking, the girl's eyes widened in vain, and she jumped and pointed not far away.
I looked down again, and saw a large tree in the distance, and for some reason, it began to emit a faint green smoke without warning, and as time passed, the smoke became more and more intense.
This......
I'm sure it's definitely not man-made, the place where the tree grows is a big smooth slope, and it's strange that ordinary people walk over it and don't fall down.
However, if it is not man-made, how can this tree smoke for no reason?
Rumble!
Before I could continue to ask, the big tree in front of me was like someone had poured a bucket of gasoline on it, and it didn't even ignite spontaneous combustion, and in the blink of an eye, it developed into a raging fire.
Rao is crowd was already far away, but the scorching heat still made me a little unbearable.
"Fire Whirlwind! The fire whirlwind is coming out! At this time, someone in the crowd shouted.
Immediately after, the raging fire on the big tree was like encountering a tornado, the flames swirled first, and in the blink of an eye, they rolled straight into the sky, and the momentum was definitely comparable to that of an American blockbuster.
"Oh oh oh!" Seeing this scene, the girl clapped her hands excitedly, and shouted excitedly: "There has been a fire dragon soaring to the sky!" ”
"What did you say?" My heart fluttered, almost roaring, and I grabbed the girl by the shoulders and shouted, "What do you call that?" ”
"You hurt me", the girl struggled a few times, and said a little angrily: "This is called the fire dragon soaring to the sky!" ”
