Chapter 30: Vigil
When I walked forward, I met the old man who had swept the floor before, and he was cleaning the paper ashes in the Zodiac Reincarnation Furnace.
When he saw us coming, he didn't even lift his head.
When I tried to talk to him, he looked up at me and didn't respond.
After we left, Director Chang said, "This old man's surname is Zhang, he has been working here for many years, he has a quirky personality, and he doesn't care much about people. ”
Like the others, this old man had a gray face and a mediocre appearance, except that his whole body was in the shape of wood fire.
In the physiognomy method, the human body is divided into five elements, some people have five distinct shapes, some people have both, and the wood shape has both fire shapes, which is the personality of mutual birth and transformation, and its personality is impatient, young and six relatives, the Lord has worked hard all his life, and there are dark diseases.
It is said that how can a person with an impatient personality be withdrawn and not like to talk?
I couldn't help but look at him twice, and by this time he had already packed up the ashes and walked away.
He seemed to be immersed in his own world.
The last person who Director Chang led us to meet was Lao Xiao, who was in charge of the crematorium.
This man looked to be in his sixties, his hair was half gray, and when he turned to talk to us, I saw that his eyes were yellow, and his face was even darker, especially in the palace of misfortune, and there was an indissoluble depression.
Listen to this person's voice, and it's not the person hiding in the shadows.
When we left the crematorium, I asked Director Chang, "That old Xiao just now, is his liver not very good?" ”
Curator Chang sighed and asked me, "Is it from the face again?" ”
I nodded, from the five senses corresponding to the five elements, the liver belongs to wood, its surface is in the eyes, his eyes are yellow, and his face is dark, indicating that there must be something wrong with this old Xiao's liver.
Director Chang gave a thumbs up and said, "This old Xiao was already liver cancer when he came here, and he was in an advanced stage." The doctors gave death ultimatums, so he took the crematorium that no one answered, and he stayed up here for a day. ”
There are only a few people in their crematorium, and after reading it, Director Chang asked me and the little Taoist priest if we could see anything weird.
We didn't see the weird place for the time being, this curator asked us to wait for the evening to see, he has now figured out the pattern, every five days and seven days, the corpse placed here overnight, there will be a loss of faces.
I asked Director Chang if there were any unburned bodies today, and Director Chang said that there were still four bodies, and the family members had already left, and they would be cremated tomorrow morning.
Seeing that he wanted to keep us here for the night, the little Taoist priest euphemistically expressed that this spell casting was troublesome and needed to charge a certain amount of benefits.
This person had been a cadre before, and his ability to observe words and colors was naturally outstanding, and he said at the moment that he could, and if he could solve this problem, he would definitely not treat us badly.
With Director Chang's statement, the little Taoist priest decided to stay.
Naturally, I don't have any opinions, I came here to find that person desperately.
I asked Director Chang who would stay here at the crematorium at night.
Director Chang said, "Except for Du Hua (the tall man in the corpse movers) and me, everyone else lives here, of course, I will accompany you here tonight." ”
The little Taoist priest also took out the string of black bells that he had lent me last time, handed them to Director Chang, and asked him to hang them in the morgue, if there was any movement in the morgue, the bell would ring.
Curator Chang looked at the string of black bells, shook them and made no sound, he thought it was amazing, and said that he would hang it in the morgue now.
After Director Chang went out, I whispered to the little Taoist priest to let him watch out for two people, one was a fool, and the other was Lao Zhang.
I don't care about any other reason, these two people didn't speak to me, I didn't hear them, then there is a big suspicion.
As for who stripped the human skin from the face of the corpse, it doesn't matter so much to me.
The little Taoist priest snorted, took out his bronze dagger, and put it on his waist, "Indiscriminate killing of innocents, even if my master touches it, he will not stand idly by." ”
Now that it's getting late, it seems that we have to wait here until late at night, and after hanging up the bell, Director Chang brought us a few bowls of instant noodles and asked us to make up for it first.
Although I was a little hungry, I don't know why, in such an environment, I couldn't eat.
Curator Chang himself tore open a bag and soaked it in hot water, and the food was very fragrant.
He said that he was about to get used to it, and he would slowly like no one to call him in the future, and he was used to not being able to call others casually.
There was a kind of helpless self-deprecation in these words.
The little Taoist priest meditated for a while, got impatient, and said that he wanted to go out for a walk, and I followed.
Just ask him, see who has problems in this crematorium, the little Taoist priest said, "It's hard to say, anyone is possible, if the person you are looking for is really in this crematorium, the enemy is in the dark, we are in the light, you must be very careful." ”
After saying this, he suddenly asked about Zhang Xiaoya and asked her how the Heavenly Soul was recovering.
I told him about Zhang Xiaoya's situation.
The little Taoist priest nodded, and said that Zhang Xiaoya's heavenly soul has almost recovered, and there may be a lack of aura, so let me call her out and follow us closely.
I wondered why the little Taoist priest would let me do this.
The little Taoist priest snorted, "The world of ghosts is different from ours, they have a very wide sense, she is already connected to your blood, if there is danger, you can warn in advance." ”
It turns out that the person who raises ghosts can also predict the surrounding situation in advance, which I didn't expect, and I used my heart to sense Zhang Xiaoya in Huai Ling, and after she came out, I even said to her that Gabby made a call, and the responsibility of "defending" us was handed over to her.
Although Zhang Xiaoya's black eyes were born, she still had no look, and she looked a little cute, and after I finished speaking, she tilted her head, indicating that she had understood what I meant, and followed me closely.
This can't help but make me sigh, this time and that time.
A month ago, I felt terrible at Zhang Xiaoya following behind me, and now she is following behind me, which actually gives me a faint sense of security.
Zhang Xiaoya seemed to like this place with a lot of yin energy, staring around with big cloudy eyes, if she hadn't received my "mission", she would probably have wandered around the crematorium.
At this time, she was just like a child.
At about 11 o'clock in the evening, Director Chang led us on a tour, focusing on the morgue, and nothing happened.
He whispered to us, "The loss of faces should have happened in the middle of the night. ”
Since Director Chang said so, we had to continue to wait.
But I'm worried that both humans and ghosts, knowing that we're here, might stop doing it.
Director Chang is also worried about this, so it will be troublesome.
But then he added, "As long as there are dead bodies here for the night, every Friday and every seventh, this has not stopped." ”
By about 11:40, Director Chang said we needed to take a look.
We walked out with Director Chang, and before I had walked about ten steps out, I smelled a faint strange fragrance in my nose, and my mind was suddenly dizzy, my eyelids were heavy, and I wanted to sleep.
The little Taoist priest seemed to notice that something was wrong, and immediately closed his fingers and recited the mantra, and I felt that this faint fragrance was particularly familiar.
After a few moments, it came to my mind.
Rhino horn!
Old man Ji once gave me a rhino horn incense that can communicate with ghosts.
When the rhino horn incense was lit, the human spirit was in a state of confusion, and I quickly turned my hands upwards to give birth to the "Xiang Qi" in my body.
After "Xiang Qi" was born, my spirit was immediately shaken, and that state of malaise disappeared suddenly.
Where does the rhino horn incense come from?
Curator Chang was not as lucky as the two of us, he yawned a lot, his eyes began to fog, and when his body shook, he was about to fall to the ground and fall asleep.
The little Taoist priest immediately grabbed his arm and pressed the Baihui point on the top of his head twice with his hand, and Director Chang woke up like a dream and opened his eyes and asked us in amazement. "What, what's going on?"
Before I could answer him, I saw Zhang Xiaoya behind me float out and head towards a place in the crematorium.
I had told her to warn us in advance, so she must have found something.
I didn't have time to explain to Director Chang, so I hurriedly and quietly followed behind Zhang Xiaoya, who looked like a white shadow.
I saw that there was a flashing red light in the reincarnation furnace where paper money was burned, and there was a vague black shadow shaking in front of the light.
