Chapter 31: Burning incense for ghosts

When he saw us coming, the shadow immediately turned and walked away.

I immediately pulled out the sharp knife and cut it off separately from the little Taoist.

The shadow ran very fast, and the little Taoist priest and I chased after him very quickly, especially the little Taoist priest, who was secretly throwing a piece of something at him.

The shadow was struck with a bang, and there was an "oops".

But he still wanted to run away.

With his head down, he rushed left and right, changing directions from time to time, and at this time, Director Chang, who followed later, had already turned on the lights.

When he saw the light coming, the shadow took shape, and he did not run away.

He tried to cover his face and the light with his hands.

But there are only a few people in the crematorium, and everyone's characteristics are obvious, and he can't stop it.

From the clothes and figure alone, we can already see that this person is Lao Zhang, who sweeps the floor.

Curator Chang recognized it more clearly, and when he came up, he said angrily, "Lao Zhang! What the hell are you doing? ”

After the initial fright, this old Zhang also looked at Director Chang with wide eyes.

Instead, he said angrily, "You guys, what are you chasing after me? ”

I was on full guard against this old man, and the moment he spoke, I breathed a long sigh of relief in my heart.

Nor is he.

Curator Chang said that this old man had a quirky personality, and seeing that he didn't answer and resisted, Curator Chang's face was a little deformed, and he pointed at him and said, "You! What do you run? ”

Not to be outdone, this old Zhang slapped the ground with his backhand, "You guys have knives in your hands, chase me when you come up, who knows what's going on, what else can I do if I don't run!" ”

On the contrary, he had a reason, and Director Chang was a little speechless by his confrontation for a while.

He swept the place where he had just been with a flashlight, and saw several incense sticks inserted in a small jar, and cigarettes curling out.

"You, what are you doing in the middle of the night?"

Director Chang questioned again.

Lao Zhang tilted his head and snorted, "Incense, incense to those who have been cremated today." ”

Curator Chang asked him why he had incense on the ghosts.

Lao Zhang snorted, "Who stipulated that I can't give incense to others, our crematorium has never had this rule, let alone since your director Chang came." ”

This robbery made Director Chang very angry, but he burned incense in the middle of the night, and he really didn't make any mistakes.

Strangely, why burn rhino horn incense to incense ghosts?

Although Director Chang's hands were a little trembling, he did not lose his vigilance, swept the flashlight towards the morgue, and when he saw that the door seemed to have been moved, he suddenly shouted, "Not good!" Then he ran over.

At that moment, the little Taoist priest and I didn't think much about it at all, and ran in.

The morgue is unlit because there is no need for it.

I don't know if it's because of the characteristics of the work, there are only two small windows here, in the early hours of the morning, if there is no permanent director's flashlight, it is estimated that the black hand can not see five fingers.

Just as Director Chang's electric lights flickered, I saw four corpses on the morgue.

In addition to that, I found that there was something like a mist in this morgue.

No wonder Director Chang said that the surveillance could not be seen at night.

The four bodies were covered in white cloths.

Seeing that the door seemed to have passed, Director Chang lifted these white cloths one by one with suspicion.

When he opened it, I saw a gray-yellow face, an open mouth, and the way people looked after they died, which was really scary.

When Curator Chang lifted the three white cloths covering the corpses, I suddenly thought, isn't this the picture I had seen before?

Dead people, dark surroundings, slightly open mouths.

Just when Director Chang lifted the white cloth on the last corpse, I was still scared and trembling when I was on guard, and then retreated suddenly, and my body hit the morgue behind me, and my back suddenly hurt.

At that time, I had forgotten about the pain, and I still wanted to retreat, or even run away immediately!

Because I saw a very horrible picture.

It was a face stripped of its face, so terrifying that it was impossible to describe in words.

It was dark black and bloody, with white eyes exposed, no teeth and gums covered by the skin of the mouth, and dense cyan tendons everywhere, which made people unforgettable at a glance, I vomited, and I almost vomited overnight!

But I clutched my chest again and forcibly held back.

I've never seen such a terrifying picture, and I guess the little Taoist priest is the same.

I don't know what is under our noses, peeling off a human face alive!

Director Chang estimated that he had seen such a picture a few times, and hurriedly covered it with a white cloth.

The two of us exited the morgue first.

A moment later, Curator Chang, who looked frightened, also retreated, and he had already taken off the bell that the little Taoist priest had given him.

When handing it to the little Taoist, he deliberately flipped over the string of bells for the little Taoist priest to see.

The little Taoist priest was also shocked when he saw the bell flipped by Director Chang.

The wind chime hole has been blocked by cotton!

What the hell is this doing? If it's a human, there's no need to plug the bell, but if it's not a human, can a ghost do it?

Curator Chang was indignant, turned around and questioned the old Zhang again, but the old Zhang still hummed and didn't want to deal with Director Chang.

This person must be hiding something, and I said to him with a sharp knife in my hand, "This incense of yours is called rhino horn incense, which can make people drowsy, where did you get it?" ”

This old Zhang was suddenly startled, looked up at me, and said in a panic, "You, why are you ......?"

He should have wanted to say, how do I know.

Hearing me say this, Director Chang also answered, saying that he burned ecstasy incense, and his face in the crematorium was lost, and he couldn't get out of the relationship, and he would hand him over to the police tomorrow.

With such a threat, Lao Zhang was obviously a little scared, hesitated for a while, and said that this incense is not a ghost, but a ghost.

We all felt very strange and asked him what he meant.

This old Zhang hesitated for a while, and finally said, "If I say it, you can't embarrass me anymore." ”

Director Chang took the lead in assuring that as long as he told the truth, he would not be embarrassed by him.

Lao Zhang frowned and looked around, as if he was afraid that someone would overhear, hesitated for a while, and then whispered.

"You may not believe it, and I don't know when it began, every time someone was cremated, that person's soul would stand at the head of my bed at night, weeping day and night."

The little Taoist priest and I glanced at each other, and there is such a thing?

I told Director Chang before that they had something to detain the soul of the deceased, and it was a little Taoist priest who broke it blindly, is it really there?

Lao Zhang continued, "Only by lighting this incense can I communicate with them and persuade them to leave. ”

Use rhino horn incense to persuade ghosts to leave?

Lao Zhang nodded.

The little Taoist priest asked him if it was useful?

Lao Zhang said that he used it again, and every time he lit incense, those ghosts were gone.

I knew that rhino horn incense was precious, and he couldn't just get it, so I asked him where he got it.

At this time, he swallowed and vomited, and said that he got it by chance when he was traveling, and then said that a monk in a temple gave it to him.

Seeing that he really couldn't ask anything, and it was indeed not his doing, Director Chang reprimanded him and asked him to go back to sleep, and we will go back to rest first.

Could it be that the man hiding in the shadows is the half-fool? I haven't heard his voice yet.

But the man's eyes are blank, his eyebrows are slanted, the heavens are narrow, and his movements are slow, can he cover everything up?

I asked Director Chang for confirmation and asked him if his voice was low and hoarse.

Curator Chang was stunned for a moment, saying that the half-fool was talking dumbly, not hoarse at all, and asked me if I doubted the half-fool.

I was a little flustered and said no, just casually asked.

Could it be that I spent so much money to divinate a hexagram, but I made a mistake?

My gut tells me no.

But what's going on now?

The three of them talked for a long time in Director Chang's office, but they still didn't understand whether it was a human or a ghost.

We discussed until four o'clock in the morning, we were really sleepy, so we lay on the sofa and slept for a while, and Zhang Xiaoya took the initiative to float to the door.

I felt that I had only fallen asleep for a while, and there was an urgent knock on the door, Director Chang rubbed his eyes, looked at the time, and said, "It's half past six, it's dawn, who's outside!" Knock what! ”。

After opening the door, he found that the tall corpse mover was standing at the door, he looked frightened, and when he came up, he said to Director Chang, "Director Chang, come quickly!" Lao Zhang, Lao Zhang! ”

Director Chang asked him what was wrong.

He was so excited that he was almost speechless, and choked for a long time before he said, "Lao Zhang is dead!" ”

When I heard that Lao Zhang, who burned incense last night, died?!

I jumped up from the sofa and asked the tall corpse mover what was going on.

The corpse mover trembled and said, "I lit a cigarette just now to borrow fire from Lao Zhang, and found that he was out of gas!" ”

Running over with the corpse movers, the old Zhang curled up in a ball, squatting in the corner of his house, his mouth open, his hands in an open state, staring at a pair of frightened eyes, already dead.
