Chapter 22: The Strange Sound of a Wooden Fish

The family of the deceased saw that I couldn't understand it, so they changed their tone and said to me: "Little master, the one who died is my wife, only twenty-eight years old this year, my name is Cheng Yuan, my wife was fine last night, and she was sent to the hospital this morning and said that it was gone, and she had to say that she died last night, she was the one who slept in a bed with me, I don't know if I died last night?" ”

I thought for a moment and asked, "Did the hospital say anything about why he died?" ”

"I didn't say this, if I have to find the cause of death, then I have to dissect the corpse, I didn't agree, I didn't want my wife to be disemboweled after she died, so I just pulled my wife back." Cheng Yuan thought for a moment and said to me.

After Cheng Yuan finished speaking, I turned around and came to the mourning hall to take a turn, generally in the conspicuous position of the mourning hall will be pasted with the deceased's seven orders, I want to see the deceased's birthday to calculate what's going on, then Cheng Yuan saw me in the mourning hall with his hands behind his back and looked around, and hurriedly came to my side and asked me in a whisper: "Little master, what are you doing?" I think you seem to have some skills, but what the hell is out there? What will we do next time you're not here? ”

I pondered for a while before I said to Cheng Yuan: "To be honest, I don't know what kind of evil spirit is outside, but it seems that he should have some ability, but don't be nervous, he just came to rob your wife's soul and go back to be his wife, in principle, it shouldn't hurt ordinary people, otherwise heaven will not tolerate it, even if I don't make a move, heaven will not allow him to exist." ”

"Oh, little master, you have to help me, I don't want my wife to die and suffer again." When Cheng Yuan heard that the evil spirit was going to rob his wife to be his daughter-in-law, he immediately pleaded in front of me.

Looking at Cheng Yuan's painful expression, I thought for a moment and said to him the doubts in my heart: "It stands to reason that people have to go to the City God Temple or the Land Temple to report after they die, why didn't your wife's soul go, I have always wondered, don't you have a Land Temple here?" ”

When Cheng Yuan heard me say this, he said to me helplessly: "Little master, you don't know, we don't have a land temple here for a long time, what age is it now, if it weren't for such a scene tonight, no one would believe that there is really a ghost, and the current housing prices are so high, an inch of loess and an inch of gold, who has a place to build a land temple for you." ”

I don't understand the planning of big cities, but I think what Cheng Yuan said is reasonable, but it's not right when I think about it carefully, even if the local land temple is gone, but the land god is always there, where is this land god now?

Just when I was puzzled, the wind outside became louder and louder, mixed with flying sand and stones knocking on the gate of the yard, and the people in the courtyard were frightened by the strange sound brought by the gloomy wind, and some women and children all hugged each other and cried bitterly.

I was irritable in my heart, and now there is no cinnabar, let me bite my finger to draw a talisman I really don't have the courage, it really hurts, I was thinking about how to deal with the evil ghost, the empty voice came again: "Little Taoist, I just want a bride, if you are forced to do so, don't blame me for being unkind, do you think a broken gossip mirror can stop me?" ”

At this time, a few people in the crowd cried and said: "Cheng Yuan, your wife is dead anyway, you just let him take your wife away, you can't drag everyone down to be buried for the sake of a dead person, right?" ”

I also wondered why these people could hear the words of the evil ghost, and after a closer look, I realized that the people who spoke were basically old people, and these people lacked yang energy, and it was not surprising that they could hear the voice of the evil ghost, just like a newborn baby can see ghosts.

Theoretically, ordinary ghosts can't communicate directly with people, and if they have to communicate with humans, they must use some media, such as ghosts, and use the mouths of living people to convey what they want to express, which also proves that the evil spirits outside have some climate.

Cheng Yuan saw that what those people said was reasonable, and he himself was trembling with fright, and I saw that Cheng Yuan was hesitant and said to him a little angrily: "Are you a man?" Can you bear to see your wife robbed after she dies? ”

"Yes, yes." Cheng Yuan stammered for a long time and didn't know what to say, I couldn't help but push him away angrily and said to him, "What's the panic, I'll go and get that evil ghost now." ”

After saying this, I also walked to the courtyard door, and when Xiao Song saw that I was standing by the door and did not intend to open the door, he came to me and whispered to me: "Guoqiang, can you do it?" If you can't do it, don't do it, it's none of our business, don't forget what we're here to do in Nanjing, and it shouldn't matter to them if you grab a ghost, right? ”

I'm young and vigorous, and my stubbornness came up when Xiao Song said this, so I ignored Xiao Song's dissuasion, and directly opened the courtyard door and strode out.

When I got out of the courtyard, I noticed that there was a small whirlwind about a meter high and hovering there not far away. It's just that ordinary people can't see evil spirits?

I didn't have much time to think about it, the man in red saw me come out and picked up the weapon in his hand and slashed at me, seeing that the man in red was fierce, I couldn't bear the pain and directly bit the tip of my tongue and sprayed a mouthful of essence blood, and the man in red was also flexible, and directly dodged the essence blood I squirted.

I didn't have a second time to spurt blood, seeing that the evil ghost was about to attack again, I pinched a finger in my right hand and said vaguely: "Heaven and earth are infinite, a hundred ghosts are not invaded, gods and Buddhas open the way, kill evil spirits, and be as urgent as a law." ”

When I finished speaking, I pointed my right hand at the demon and said in my mouth, "Disease." "After chanting 'disease', I realized that I was using a talisman spell, but I don't have a talisman at all, and in order to keep my composure, I didn't withdraw my outstretched hand.

The evil ghost saw my actions and hurriedly dodged back, taking advantage of this vacancy, I turned around and spread my feet, and ran back to the yard and closed the gate again, but when I ran back, I looked up and glanced at the gossip mirror on the door of the yard, and found that the gossip mirror had been cracked by the flying sand and stones, and it seemed that it would not last long.

When everyone saw my embarrassed appearance, they looked at each other, and the surroundings suddenly became as quiet as death, and I don't want to speak because of the pain on the tip of my tongue now, and Xiao Song will not be able to stand it, and came to me and whispered to me: "Are you stupid?" Is it worth it? What's the point of you doing this for the sake of a dead man you don't know? ”

I took a breath to relieve the pain on the tip of my tongue, and waved my hand at Xiao Song, I didn't want to argue with him on this issue, just when I was hesitating, I suddenly found a white dog staring at me with two eyes, I quickly asked bitterly, "Whose dog is this?" Why is it so weird? ”

When Cheng Yuan saw me asking, he hurriedly replied, "Little master, this is my husky." ”

As soon as I heard that it was Cheng Yuan's dog, I had nothing to worry about, so I hurriedly shouted to Cheng Yuan: "Quick, quickly put some blood on it." ”

I also know that black dog blood is the best way to ward off evil spirits, but now that the situation is urgent, I have no choice but to make do with it, Na Cheng Yuan saw that I wanted dog blood, and asked a little unbearable: "Don't you really want to kill it, right?" ”

"What do you think? I'm just asking for a little blood, you just cut it in the leg and put some blood. ”

Cheng Yuan saw that he didn't want his dog's life, so he turned around and took a kitchen knife and came out and called to the husky: "Erha, come here." ”

To be honest, this is the first time I have seen such a dog, and this is also the stupidest dog I have ever seen, after Cheng Yuan replaced Erha, Erha sat at Cheng Yuan's feet, and Cheng Yuan shouted at Erha: "Stretch your legs." ”

That Erha probably thought that Cheng Yuan was going to give it something to eat, spit out his long tongue, and then stretched out its dog paws flatteringly for Cheng Yuan to grab, Cheng Yuan was also neat, and cut directly on Erha's legs, that Erha was in pain, and he didn't know how to retract his dog paws, but he tilted his head and 'ah-woo' and dragged out the old man's voice.

After a while, Cheng Yuan took a small dish of dog blood and brought it to me, and Erha would limp in front of me and sit down and tilt his head to stare at me, and it was only later that I realized that it was not staring, Erha was just that kind of look.

I took the dog blood handed over by Cheng Yuan, and without saying a word, I directly finished painting the dog blood in the dish before stopping, with the talisman, I felt a lot more at ease, and estimated that the gossip mirror was almost the same, I directly grabbed the paper talisman and walked straight out of the door, this time there was a feeling that the strong man was gone.

When I was about to step out of the courtyard gate, I suddenly heard the sound of a wooden fish, which felt like it was coming from far away in my ears, and I wondered if there would be a monk here.

But when I opened the courtyard door, I found that there was nothing outside, not to mention the man in red, even the one-meter-high whirlwind of the eight sedan chairs had disappeared, if it weren't for the gossip mirror on the door of the courtyard that was about to be broken, it would have seemed that none of this had happened.

I don't understand what's going on, I went back to the yard with my head bored, everyone will look at me a little wrong, I'm in and out with Zhuge Liang Qi to capture Meng Shuyou, seeing everyone's nervous expression, I hurriedly comforted: "It's okay, the evil spirit is gone, what should everyone do." ”

I was relieved to hear that the evil spirit was gone, but I kept wondering what made this evil spirit give up this ghost bride? Could it be the sound of the wooden fish? If it's the sound of the wooden fish, who is beating the wooden fish? Why didn't I see the man who struck the fish?

Thinking of this, I came to Shinomatsu's side and whispered, "Shinomatsu, did you hear the sound of wooden fish just now?" ”

Shinomatsu looked at me for a while and shook his head to say that he hadn't heard, which made me even more confused, could it be that I had auditory hallucinations? But if I have auditory hallucinations, why does the evil spirit leave? Who is this knocker who knocks on the wooden fish?
