Chapter 14: Joy and sorrow

At night, I hugged Yanzi, and I couldn't sleep excitedly, because tomorrow I can live with her with peace of mind, I think I will never look for ghosts again, I don't want to provoke these things anymore, and I also stay away from the strife in this circle, I just want to live happily with her. The swallow put her arms around me and said delicately in my arms: "Old ghost, let me tell you something, it is definitely three joys." ”

I looked down at the swallow in my arms, and a hint of blush appeared on the swallow's face under the dim nightlight, "You say." I asked the swallow speculatively. Swallow smiled slightly, then leaned close to my ear and said, "You're going to be a father." I sat up all at once, turned on the lamp on the table and looked at the swallow, and then said excitedly, "You mean really? The swallow looked at me embarrassedly in the bright light and nodded. I excitedly lay on the belly of the swallow and listened to nothing, although I couldn't hear anything.

"When did you find out?" I asked. "I saw that I hadn't had a period for a month, and after shopping with my parents that afternoon, I went to the hospital, and the doctor said I was pregnant," Yanzi said. "I'm excited, it's great, it's a good sign to be pregnant, God always cares for new life. I turned off the lamp and fell asleep with the swallow in my arms, because tomorrow something better would happen, and we would be free from the nightmare forever.

The next morning, the warm sun drove away the cold winter air, and the wind seemed to follow my mood not so howling, but blowing softly, with a hint of warmth. The sky looks high because of the clear blue sky. We got into Brother Sheng's car, and the car drove to Xi'an. At about seven o'clock in the evening, we arrived in Xi'an, and after telling everyone that we were safe, we drove to the place designated by Mr. Guan.

After Yanzi and I went upstairs, it was Mr. Zang who opened the door for me, and there was a middle-aged man in Tang costume standing in the room, about one meter six tall, bald and wearing glasses. The man saw me "hum", then sat on the sofa, crossed Erlang's legs, and said in very unmarked Mandarin: "Hello, my surname is Du, you are the ghost." Mr. Guan smiled at me, took the luggage in my hand and said, "Old ghost, this is Mr. Du in Guangzhou, who is here to help you, I can't do such things alone, and only with Mr. Du can I help Yanzi perfectly exorcise resentment." Mr. Zang brought me a large bowl of tea and said, "Why don't you go and give Mr. Du tea?" Then he put it in my ear and said, "You must bear with it, he and Mr. Guan can save Yanzi, this guy is a bit perverted and controls your temper." ”

I took the tea, walked to the edge of the sofa where Mr. Du was sitting, then bowed and raised the tea above my head and said, "Mr. Du, thank you for your help, I will never forget the old ghost of great kindness." You please drink tea. Mr. Du didn't have a tea bowl, but said in a weird way: "Save your woman's life and give tea like this, kneel down and give me tea." I was taken aback when I heard this, the man had gold under his knees, I stood up straight, thinking about whether to kneel, to be honest, my heart was tangled at the time, my knees were a little weak, and I almost couldn't help kneeling, compared to the life of the swallow, this man's self-esteem is nothing. Mr. Du kicked me in the leg and said, "Hurry up, I'll leave if you don't kneel." "All at once I was on fire, and the cup fell in my hand and fell to the ground and shattered. Teacher Zang shouted angrily: "Du X, don't go too far, your skills are superb, but you can also use me." Mr. Guan also walked over and said, "Mr. Du, haven't we all said it?" You see, don't be too harsh on this kid, how can he be a person in our circle. ”

I closed my eyes, and I had already hit this stupid hat surnamed Du countless times in my head. I was about to kneel down as soon as I was ruthless, when Yanzi spoke, she held another cup of tea and said, "Old ghost, let me come, Mr. Du, I will kneel down, can you see it?" Mr. Du looked at us and reluctantly said, "It's okay, you two are no outsiders anyway." The swallow stepped forward, I tried to stop the swallow, but the swallow blocked me, walked up to Mr. Du, and then her knees were slightly bent and she was about to kneel, and suddenly she stood up again, and splashed the hot tea on Mr. Du's face. Then he stood up straight, pointed to Mr. Du's nose and said, "You can not save me, and I can not live, but you can't insult our old ghost." You still dare to kick him, believe it or not, I let him beat you. ”

Mr. Du was so hot that he kept wiping his face with his hands, then stood up, his face was red and yelled at Yanzi: "Hey, hey, look at me beating your hands." I pulled the swallow behind me, grabbed Mr. Du's neck and said, "I'll hit you first, this old girl." Mr. Guan was busy pulling me, and Mr. Zang jumped to his feet and said, "Mom, let's hit this stupid b first." ”

Mr. Du flicked my wrist with his fingers, and I immediately let go of the pain, and then he took out a tissue and wiped his face. Suddenly laughed: "You two really have personalities, but I like it, I like it, and I'm willing to help you." Teacher Zang was stunned and laughed: "This person is really cheap." Mr. Du said to Teacher Zang with a straight face: "Don't laugh, I don't forgive you for scolding me just now, go back to you to settle accounts with Old Man Zang." Teacher Zang waved his hand and said, "Save people first, let's talk about the two of us later, I will be waiting for you at any time." ”

Mr. Guan kept smiling and preparing to pull, yellow table paper, silver balls and a string of large gold rings, he led the swallow to the gossip in the middle of a room, in which a huge gossip map was placed on the ground, I couldn't tell what material it was made of, although it was huge but very delicate. Then Mr. Du sprinkled gold dust on the swallow's hair and pasted spiritual talismans on the swallow's body. I called my brother downstairs and asked him to find a hotel to sleep in first, and then contact him tomorrow. After hanging up the phone, I found that Mr. Zang had already lassoed the swallow with a gold ring, and connected it to the many silver balls around it with some gold wires.

At this time, Mr. Guan kept writing a lot of Buddhist mantras with gold dust on the snow-white walls on all sides, and Mr. Du was holding some gossip mirrors hanging all over the sky and four corners of the room, I know what to do, this room has become an enchantment, once the formation is completed, no soul can enter this space, and the soul in the space can not escape.

"Let's get started!" Mr. Guan and Mr. Du said at the same time. Then one walked to the dry position, the other to the kun position, Mr. Guan held a small tower in his right hand, and grabbed a silver ball with his left hand to straighten the gold thread. Mr. Du held a small peach wood order in his left hand, and also grabbed a silver ball in his right hand, and also pulled the gold thread straight.

The two began to chant words, and Teacher Zang also read something in his mouth, and then used Yu Ruyi to hold up the glass bottle that I sacrificed my life from Tianjin and walked towards Yanzi, and then said, "Are you still willing to give your soul?" The glass bottle shook a little, Mr. Zang nodded, and threw the glass bottle to the ground, and for a while I vaguely saw a gray thing rising up and burrowing into the swallow's body, the swallow trembled for a moment, and then his face showed a painful application. Mr. Guan and Mr. Du kept walking counterclockwise, and then the positions of Qiankun were reversed, and suddenly the swallow let out a breath and made a sound of soul breaking. Mr. Guan was overjoyed: "It was a success. ”

As he spoke, he was about to put down the silver ball in his hand, but Mr. Du said: "Don't put it, it may not be over yet, move in reverse, Diamond Sutra." Mr. Kwan hurriedly clenched the ball again, and was about to spin it, when the swallow shook violently, trembling all over, and kept calling my name. A cold voice suddenly interrupted Yanzi's words and said, "Just this little soul is like stopping me? Then there was a burst of laughter, and the swallow struggled to break free from the trap of the golden ring.

Mr. Du scolded: "Water blower, old man Zang quickly take another one." Teacher Zang was a little flustered and hurriedly said, "The other one she doesn't want to help Yanzi." Mr. Guan suddenly spurted out a mouthful of blood and sprayed it on the swallow's body, the swallow no longer laughed wildly, but still shook violently, Mr. Guan said: "You hurry up, there is no time, you can suppress it for a while, listen to us." Teacher Zang agreed, and was about to run to a small incense burner on the ground, but a silver ball flew out and hit Teacher Zang's foot, Teacher Zang's arm was still hanging, and his hand didn't have time to support the wall and stumbled two steps with his body against the wall to stabilize the body that almost fell, and then shouted at me: "Go quickly, uncover the spiritual talisman on the incense burner, throw the incense burner into the gossip array, I can't move my feet." ”

I hurriedly ran over, unveiled the spirit talisman according to Mr. Zang's words, threw the incense burner into the gossip array, a scream came from the incense burner, Mr. Du walked over quickly, and hit it with a peach wood order in the air, the golden ring began to tremble violently, Mr. Du quickly moved back to its original position, and Mr. Guan went to the right position of the incense burner, and used the small tower to hit the air, and also returned to his position. The swallow trembled even more, kept rolling her eyes, my heart was dripping blood, but there was nothing I could do but support Teacher Zang and watch everything that happened in the field.

Mr. Du shouted: "It's a loss, it's a loss." Then he pricked his skin with a peach wood order, and kept sprinkling the swallow with the blood that burst out. Mr. Guan was even more so, the edges and corners of the small tower hung out streaks of blood from his arms, but they never let go of the small silver beads they were holding. The swallow shouted and fell to the ground, not twitching. Mr. Guan and Mr. Du also sat on the ground, and the two of them kept coughing, spitting out bloody phlegm one by one. Teacher Zang said to me, "Leave me alone, I'll stand against the wall first, you go and see the swallows, the ceremony is over." ”

I ran to Swallow and picked her up, but she was unconscious and even breathing weakly. I turned to look at Mr. Kwan, who waved his hand to indicate that it was fine. I was relieved to carry the swallow into a bedroom bed and cover her with a quilt. Then Mr. Guan, Mr. Zang and Mr. Du helped them into the living room.

I rubbed Mr. Zang's ankle, Mr. Guan was swallowing as if he was meditating, and Mr. Du kicked his legs towards the sky, and he didn't speak like Mr. Guan, but his movements were like a rabbit and an eagle. Ten minutes later, Mr. Du and Mr. Guan almost shouted, then spat out a pool of black blood and stood up. Mr. Guan said, "Let's go, let's go see the swallows." So they walked in front, and I supported Mr. Zang to follow behind.

Mr. Guan pressed the swallow's head, closed his eyes, and said something in his mouth. Mr. Du, on the other hand, grabbed the swallow's wrist and kept tapping his arm without saying a word. The corners of the two of them showed a smile on their lips, and Mr. Zang and I saw it and understood that this was a satisfactory solution to the expression, I held Mr. Zang's hand, and he also held me, and we both cried with excitement.

Suddenly, the expressions of the two gentlemen Guan Du became solemn, they stopped smiling, and then frowned, as if they were puzzled by something. Mr. Du first let go of Yanzi's wrist, took out a business card and handed it to me, saying, "Call me if there is a place where I can be used, I will come at any time, I am not with you." With that, he turned around and walked out the door.

Mr. Guan also opened his eyes, stopped talking and looked at me and stopped, I sighed and knew that things might have changed, so I asked: "Mr. Guan can say whatever he wants, no matter how bad the result is, I can accept it." "At the time, I thought it must have been that the child couldn't stand the shock and died. Mr. Guan squatted on the ground and hugged his head, and with the old suit on his body, he looked like a migrant worker who could not ask for wages.

"I'm sorry old ghost, I'm sorry, I miscalculated, this grudge is too strong, we may need a soul." Mr. Kwan was silent for a long time and said this.

I opened my eyes wide and couldn't believe that this was true, and for a while I went from sadness to joy, and I almost fainted with Venus in my eyes due to the impact of the two heavens, but I stood firm and asked, "Then has the resentment weakened this time?" Mr. Guan raised his eyes and said to me: "Yes, it is weakened, so if you need another one, you can save the swallow, and this time I will guarantee with my life." "And how long do we have left, and has it been extended?" I asked urgently.

Mr. Guan shook his head, didn't look at me again, just whispered: "The time is even more urgent, it has been shortened to a month, and the counterattack of weakened resentment is so terrible." I'm sorry old ghost, I'm sorry .........."

I collapsed to the ground in despair.
