Chapter 19: The Wandering Old Man

In our world, there are always people who are willing to give. They are happy to help others, and they never tire of it. When you see others in trouble, you love to help them. Such a person is accumulating good fortune, and even if he can't be rich and wealthy in this life, he will have a good life in the next life.

In the spiritual world, there are also some spiritual gods who are for the purpose of cultivating the unfinished yin virtues in the human world. And staying in the human world, they use their own means to avoid danger. Leave quietly afterwards, not hurting, not pestering, and not scary. This kind of spirit god helps people to get lost, some people know how to crack it themselves, and if they don't crack it themselves, it will be automatically lifted after a period of time, and there will be no obscurity afterwards.

And those who have been lost for a long time are not because the danger has not passed, but because some spirits will be a little naughty and play for a while. This kind of spirit we become road thieves, and some places are called backward ghosts, and their behavior is called ghosts hitting the wall...

The scientific explanation is that the ghost hitting the wall is a hazy state of human consciousness, which will make people walk with deviations, and finally walk in circles, for this explanation, I agree, that is, the formation condition of this phenomenon must be wide, at least 2-3 kilometers to form this phenomenon, and there is a possibility that the person is drunk and the walking deviation is too large. But when we walk in a small alley, or on a very straight road, we will also encounter a situation where we can't get out no matter how we go, so this can't be explained by science, even if we deviate, we can find it if we go backwards. This situation, if you want to explain it scientifically, is a bit unclear.

Some people think that ghost hitting the wall and ghost blinding are the same concept, but they are not, and on the contrary, ghost hitting the wall is mostly to make you avoid danger, and most of the time the ghost is to make you invisible to certain dangers and then put you in danger. Of course, it is not excluded that some spirits ask for help and deliberately steal the road, which is rarely encountered by ordinary people, and there are more people in the industry.

The former is to save people and do good, and the latter is to harm others and do evil.

I have a friend some time ago when I was driving a ghost blindfolded, at a traffic light intersection, when the light was red, I couldn't see the car in front of me, I thought there was no car in front, I hit it straight, and when I hit it, I found that there was a red car in front of me. He has good eyesight, he doesn't drink, he is mentally stable, and he is not sleepy. Therefore, it is a blessing to encounter a ghost and hit the wall, and it is unlucky to meet a ghost to cover your eyes. Some people may ask, why do you say that there is no harm in ghosts hitting the wall? In fact, it is very simple, except for getting you lost and delaying a little time, it does not hurt you anywhere, and you can conclude from this alone.

Tonight is about a story that happened to me about a ghost hitting the wall, I don't know if it took me out of danger, but I believe there is, so what I did for it later, I did it with a grateful mentality, even if I slept in the car in the wilderness that night, I didn't feel any unpleasant.

It seems to be the seventh month of the lunar calendar last year, that is, the time of the Midyear Festival, I forgot the specific day, forgive me for not being sensitive to time. One day I was having dinner with friends in Huangpu District, and it was almost ten o'clock when I got home. Huangpu to Panyu, I like to take the city around the Nansha Port fast and then from Panyu's Jinshan Avenue, although not the closest, but it is the least traffic jam, because often take that road, so the route is very familiar.

I arrived at the ring at a little after 10 o'clock, and when I got to the ring city, I felt that the atmosphere in the car was a little wrong, because I drove FM. I usually like to listen to a radio station, but every time I tune in to that channel, it will automatically skip away, I thought it was a radio channel and didn't care so much, and then I opened the CD, but each song couldn't play for a minute and then automatically jumped to the next one. Under normal circumstances, I would never have thought that there would be a spirit god on my car, because my car has a Buddhist card and something to ward off evil spirits, and ordinary spirits can't get in, and even if they do, they can't stay.

I turned off the stereo directly, but after a few seconds, I turned it on again, at this time, I think, it shouldn't be the problem of the audio, the co-pilot is nobody, I look back at the back seat and there is no one, just when I feel inexplicable. I looked through the rearview mirror in the car and saw a blurry outline of my head, as if it was sitting right behind me. Because the interior of my car is all black, but the head is light yellow, I also looked carefully, I can only see an outline, but I can't see the face clearly, I know that this is meeting the spirit.

After driving for a while, I saw that the silhouette didn't move, and I didn't pay attention to it, thinking that it might be a ride, and I even asked it, brother, where to get off? And yet it ignored me. I didn't continue to ask it, because I saw the sign of the right turn arrow in Panyu 500 meters ahead, Nansha Port. At that time, the speed of the car was not fast, I turned on the stereo, and I said that I would play Jay Chou's song and listen to it together, you don't let me do strange things.

I feel that I have driven almost a thousand meters, and I still haven't found the entrance to Nansha Port, I have walked this road no less than ten times, there is no possibility of going wrong, I thought that there is a fast entrance to South China in front of me anyway, and I can also go back to Panyu, but when I feel that I am about to reach that intersection, I still haven't found the intersection that can go to Huakuai

I didn't even see the signs.

At this time, I was really anxious, because I was very sleepy and wanted to go to bed early, so I turned off the music, looked at the blurry silhouette through the rearview mirror, and said: You're not playing with me, are you? Eldest brother. I kept looking at the outline of the head after asking, and it nodded slightly. I was speechless for a moment, and wanted to park on the side of the road and reason with it, but I couldn't find a suitable place to park for a while. It's okay if I want to park directly on the side of the road, but I'm afraid that passing cars will suspect that I'm doing something exciting like a car shock, so I just found a trail and went down the ring town, ready to find a place to turn around and go back.

When I got down the ring city, I found that I was not familiar with the road at all, and I had already arrived in a desolate place, with fields and land, and geography and vegetables. I pulled over and looked at the back seat, but I didn't see anything. I looked in the rearview mirror again, and I could see the outline of the head in the rearview mirror. Alas, they want to play with me again, and they don't show me and refuse to communicate with me. So I took off the Buddha card and the four-faced Buddha hanging in the car and received it into the small storage box on the right hand, and then opened the navigation, and said while searching, I will open the navigation, you can control where you want to go, I will listen to you.

I don't know if it can control my navigation, and the place where I navigate is also where I live, but it doesn't tell me. That's all I can do! After I got it done, I started the car again, followed the navigation, walked and walked, and came to a village with fewer houses, I don't know what the place is called, there are fewer residents, but there are many factories. The road inside was complicated, so I kept following the navigation, and after walking for about half an hour, I realized that I was really spinning in circles. In some places, it was just a left turn, and I immediately turned left and was prompted to re-route. There was still a distance of about 20 kilometers, and I walked for half an hour. I found that I was only one kilometer closer to my destination.

Let's be honest. At that time, I was already very sleepy, and my heart was inexplicably on fire. Looking in the rearview mirror, the head was still there, still the same blur, and it didn't become clear because I put away the evil things. I just changed away and muttered, saying a lot of soft words, what big brother don't make trouble, I really have to go back to sleep, I know you have blocked the disaster for me, and I thank you, but I can't bear it if you keep playing like this, I'm going to break your wall now, thank you! With that, I pulled over and got out of the car.

The method of breaking the ghost and hitting the wall is very simple, and many people will do it, get out of the car and squat on the ground to smoke a cigarette, or pee anywhere, and leave some temperature outside. Of course, I didn't defecate anywhere, I silently clicked on the loneliness and began to smoke. While twitching and muttering to himself, big brother, you have played enough, go back, I have to rest if you don't sleep at night. I didn't bring paper money today, and next time I have the fate to meet again, I'll burn some paper money for you, thank you, okay? That's it, let's talk about the time of a cigarette.

After I finished my cigarette and got back into the car, I was supposed to go, I looked at the back seat, and I looked in the rearview mirror, and the yellow silhouette was gone. I breathed a sigh of relief, opened the window and yelled nervously, thank you! The tone was in tune with Fan Wei, and then he left happily, and after driving for less than two minutes, he habitually glanced at the back. To my annoyance, it got on again. Didn't it go? Still following up again. And the stereo turned on inexplicably, as if to tell me, yes, it's me again. Here I go again. Hey, hey, hey!

I was on fire at the time. It's really on fire. I yelled, what the hell are you going to do?********** what do you say, but it doesn't really work! I really couldn't help it, so I started reciting the exorcism mantra, not to be precise, but with a roar. After a few words of the spell, I heard the sound of something slapping on the seat. Bang, pop three times and then stop. I know it's resisting. And that spell is really torturous to it, it doesn't actually get out of the car, but resists. That's when I knew it was going to ask me for help, but I didn't know where to go.

As the saying goes, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain. I can't control it that much, you can make trouble if you like. I turn the music on. The sound is loud. He opened the window again. Started singing to Jay's tune. The song was called "In the Name of the Father." It's like chanting a mantra.

As soon as I had sung a short part, I heard a loud "pop" sound, which startled me. Because I shouted out of inertia, I yelled directly to the tune and adapted the lyrics: This is not a mantra, I'm singing, when are you going to snap? . . . Before I finished yelling, I realized that something was wrong, it felt like a flat tire!

After parking the car, I went down to check and look, and sure enough, it was a flat tire!!!!!! I took out my emergency lights and looked around.

There are houses in the distance, but this place is a desolate place, next to the fast vegetable field, and a small stream, and on the other side it is flat, and there is a standing stone on it, and I took it myself, and what kind of stone is it, it is clearly a stone tablet, and behind the stone tablet is a small grave bag, and a wreath is pressed on it.

It turned out to be a new tomb, but there was no inscription on the stele, and the tomb bag was very small. I walked over and took a closer look, and there was not even a trace of burned paper, like the kind of casual burial of hastily birds, is this a nameless grave, or a new grave, what is going on?

When I saw the new grave, I wondered if it belonged to the road thief with my car.

First of all, it was in the wrong place, although I knew that it should not be a coincidence that it suddenly had a flat tire in this place. Secondly, if it is a new tomb, the soul should only wander around, I am not sure if it has passed the first seven, but it must not have entered the ritual excess, because there is no trace of burning incense and paper nearby. The most important thing is that there is no inscription on the door of the tombstone, and there is not even the most basic surname, but what about the wreath? This struck me as odd.

There is still a probability that such a soul will not be taken away by the Yin Difference, if this soul is still here, plus the spirit who stole the road, then it means that there are two spirit gods near me. The one who steals the road won't attack me, so I don't know if the new soul is aggressive.

Thinking of this, I suddenly didn't feel sleepy either. Perhaps out of curiosity, or out of professional habit, I was tempted to understand what was going on with this new grave, and the way I could get the information directly was undoubtedly by shouting souls. But I didn't live. There are no tools for calling souls at all times, and there are no tools for sending souls, except for a few offensive talismans for temporary emergency use in the car, there is nothing else.

I looked at the house in the distance and it didn't look like a commissary, even if it was a commissary, there would be no paper money, incense and candles to sell, let alone rice. After thinking about it, I had to go home and get it. But the car had a flat tire and couldn't drive. And it was already more than 12 o'clock at that time, and in the wilderness, I couldn't call a car at all.

After thinking about it, I could only put the spare tire on myself and then go home and get something and come back again, in order to prevent another puncture, I deliberately got into the car, wanting to see if the road thief spirit would follow. If it does, I'll talk to it, and I'm not going to sit idly by. I'll go back and get my stuff and I'll be over soon. When I got in the car, turned on the lights in the car, and looked through the rearview mirror at the back seat, it came up. I hurriedly said to it, I know you brought me here for a purpose, is your purpose for the new tomb? After saying that, I stared closely into the rearview mirror, and the spirit really lowered its head.

I went on to say, "I have to communicate with him, but he shouldn't be able to show up right now, so I'm going home to get the props and call the soul out." Don't me anymore. I'll be back soon, okay? Eldest brother?

Looking at it again and bowing its head, I quickly opened the trunk and took out the spare tire. It took about half an hour to change it, and the emergency lights were almost out of power, and it was already a little more than a little bit by that time... I was thinking about the new grave, and I could have left it alone, but since I had run into it, it was fate, and it was fate, so I was happy to know about this spiritual thing, even if there was no reward for this work.

After putting away the things, I didn't put the flat tire in the car, and drove home directly after getting in the car, but at this time the navigation was normal. Because the time was very late, it only took me more than 20 minutes to drive to the house, and quickly went upstairs to get the bag that usually worked, and drove back, because the road in that place is not complicated, and I also deliberately wrote down the road when I came back, so I didn't get lost when I went to the place of the new grave, and when I arrived at that place, it happened to be ugly, that is, in the early morning, and it was easier to shout the soul than when I was a child, but it was also more dangerous for the operator. Because at this time, the operator will be more sleepy and easy to control the consciousness, ease and danger are also relative, just think five or five open and four or six open, there is not much difference, so I don't have so many scruples.

When I arrived at the destination, I quickly took something and put up a soul shouting array, just when I was about to raise the soul, I suddenly thought of a question, if there are really two spirits around, all shouted out at once, it would be a bit troublesome, not that I am afraid that they will deal with me together, but I don't bring enough sacrifices, afraid of disrespect for them, so I turned back to the car, trying to lead the thief to the car and trap it, and then go to call the soul.

But my thinking was thorough, but the effect was not as good as I thought, it did not keep up, and at this time I also wondered a little, could it be that the spirit of the road thief had left? Thinking of this, I quickly took out the compass to find it. Judging from the compass's reaction, there are indeed two spirits nearby, but why didn't it get into the car with me, did it already know that I was going to trap it? At this time, I can't use the method of soul attraction to guide it to the car.

It is necessary to say that the three methods of attracting souls, shouting souls, and bringing souls are different, and the effects are not the same. I won't explain it here.

I thought of a lot of ways to separate them, and I was a little confused.

As the old saying goes, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain. When people are forced to a certain extent, they can think of any way. Now that I think about it, I was really witty back then. I pretended to pack up my things and threw them in the car, and said as I cleaned up, I can't take care of this, I'll go home and sleep first, if you're not happy, you can follow me. Then I got straight into the car, and yes, I just wanted to trick it.

When I got in the car, I turned on the lights in the car and put the compass on the dashboard. When I started the car, I noticed that the compass shook violently a few times, and then I looked in the rearview mirror and the familiar circular silhouette was indeed in the car. I hurriedly drove the car a few hundred meters away, then stopped, and it was still in the car.

To be honest, I was very proud at that time, so it was okay, although I lied to you, but I hope you can understand

I didn't care so much, so I just set it at the back, and as for how to set it, it was the same as the previous method. I don't need to say much here, after everything was done, I got out of the car with my things, and I also put a charm on each of the four doors and even the trunk. Prevent it from coming out.

After doing this and making sure that there was nothing wrong, I quickly picked up my things and ran over to the new grave, because I had to finish the work before the hour, and when I got to the grave, I began to look for the soul, because I needed to confirm the approximate location. The range of soul shouting should not be too large, because in this wilderness, the range is too large, and it is easy to shout other irrelevant spirits. Even if the probability is very small, but it is not impossible, if you call one is good, it will be troublesome to call a few, maybe you will not see the sun the next day. In fact, I was also very scared at that time, because there was a creek in that place, so it was inevitable that there would be a small bridge, and there would be a lot of large and small crossroads under the bridge, and there would be many large and small crossroads in the farmland and vegetable fields.

To be on the safe side, I still took a water bowl first, because there were no street lights in that place, and the light was not enough with the flashlight in my bag. However, it is still windless, so lighting a red candle can also provide some light source. I placed a flashlight on top of the stele, then lit a red candle and lit a bowl of water in front of me. After reading the results, I breathed a sigh of relief, there was indeed only one spirit god in the vicinity, and it was very close to me, so I also put my mind at ease, set things up and began to curse and shout souls.

I thought I would shout directly in front of the stele, but when the soul shouted out, I was immediately mentally prepared, but I was still taken aback, and the soul that shouted out did not face me, but turned its back to me. In front of me on the right, next to the grave bag, I was not standing, but squatting. The reason why it scared me was because he was squatting with his back to him, and I was afraid that it would suddenly turn its head and let me see something unexpected. What I said was unexpected, not the way the tongue grows, the eyes fall out, and the seven orifices bleed, but the feeling of resentment and anger. Because I was brought here, I didn't know if it needed help or if it was going to hurt someone. If that's the case, then I'll just run away, because I can't touch the spirit god who can command other spirit gods to lead people over.

There is still truth to the saying that good people have good rewards, and I am out of a good heart, so naturally I will not be evil. I didn't speak for three minutes after I called it out, and it crouched there, sobbing and not responding. In that case, then my worries are unnecessary. If it was a resentful spirit, it would have done something to me a long time ago, since there was no response, then it was waiting for me to ask, it should know that I was helping it, and looking at its shape, it should be an elderly person over 50 years old.

I asked tentatively: "Uncle, I know you are lost, I am here to help you, if you accept my help, stand up and turn around." It didn't seem to hesitate when I said this, and then slowly stood up and turned around.

Since the light source is not very sufficient, and I can't shine a flashlight directly on it, I can't see its face clearly, all I can see is a rickety body. It's a bit hunchbacked, his hair is not short, and he looks like a wanderer, just like an old man begging on the street, very pitiful.

It took two steps forward and moved a little closer to me, which made me see it a little more clearly. Its pale skin still couldn't hide its kind face, and it was still smiling. Just like an old man begging on the side of the road, he looked at every passer-by flatteringly, hoping that the passer-by would give him a few cents and a few dollars to solve the problem of food and clothing for the next meal. I was a little sad to watch.

Even though it's gone. But it still kept this smile, the only thing it could give to passers--- smile. It's also the last thing to be able to rely on, even if many people disdain this smile.

I said, "Uncle, do you know that you are dead?" My tone was slow and a little choked. It still said with a smile: "Young man, I know that I am dead, but I don't know where I should go, I am a burden in this world, there is no stable place, I didn't expect that after I died, I still have no home. spoke with a heavy Henan accent, maybe someone from Henan. Wandering to Guangzhou. Although the original words are not like this, the meaning is this.

I said, "Uncle, I can send you to where you should go, we didn't know each other before we died, and I'm sorry to use this method to get to know you."

It says: It doesn't matter, I just want to leave this world, I have been helped by many strangers in front of me, but I can't do anything for them to repay them. I thought I would understand after death, but I didn't expect that I still need to trouble others after death, if you can help me get out of this world, then thank you.

Hearing this, my heart was sour again. Although some people are poor, they are always thinking about repaying others when they receive favors. I feel that I am ashamed of it, and I am afraid of causing trouble to others as a last resort. And some people are very rich, but they still try their best to ask for it from others, and even do whatever it takes, always thinking about how to calculate others. They are all the same people, why are they so different?

I said, "Uncle, do you have any other wishes?" I can tell you that I can't treat you to a meal before I die, and I want to do something for you now. It thought for a moment, smiled and said to me: Thank you, young man, I have been alone all my life, and I have no worries for a long time. I am very satisfied to live for so many years, the world is very good to me, I am grateful to those who have helped me, even this grave was dug for me by a strange passerby. Give me a wreath, and someone will be sent to the end, and I can't do anything for them. I just hope that they are good people and have good rewards.

At this point, I remembered another thing, I said that the person who buried you found that you were dead, why didn't he call the police, but buried you privately? It said, "That person is a farmer nearby, and I live in a straw shed in the vegetable garden over there, and I usually help the farmer to do something, and the vegetable garden belongs to that farmer." I told the farmers many times before I died that if I died one day, I would just find a random place and buy me

At this time, I understood everything, the farmer was a good man, and I talked so much with the old man, because it was very late, I felt that I was a little overwhelmed. I said uncle, I won't delay you, I'll send you to where you should go now, take a look at the world more, and wish you a good fate in the next life.

After sending the old man away, he worshipped at the grave. Then I did a simple transcendence ritual, and I will never forget the kind face that slowly disappeared with a smile. After doing the rest of the work, I packed up my things, and the flashlight was almost out of power. I went back to the car. Remove those talismans and untie the spirits trapped inside.

Speaking of which, big brother, the matter is done, please do it. The spirits who steal the road don't need me to send them, it's not that they don't know where the soul should go, they just need to stay and help some people to accumulate yin virtue, and they are full of virtue.

After it left, I wanted to go straight home, but suddenly I remembered something, but the flashlight was completely dead, so I got out of my seat and slept with my clothes. When it was daybreak, I went to the thatched hut in the vegetable garden, and found some relics of the old man, some shabby clothes, dishes and chopsticks, and a plastic box, and some bits and pieces of money in it, one piece, five corners, and many more corners. I counted it, and it was less than twenty pieces. I put all these things in a bag, and then went to have breakfast, and when a nearby shop that bought paper money and incense candles opened, I used all the odds and ends to buy paper money, and then I went back to the grave and burned the paper money and those things to the old man, I wanted to pay for more paper money myself, but the old man didn't want to cause any more trouble to people, and I didn't want to make the old man feel guilty.

Looking at the empty tombstone, I thought it would be good if there was no text on this stele. He came plainly and left innocently. Maybe for him, it wasn't a good outcome.

Although many people begging nowadays are lazy and lazy, if you see so many old people who have lost their ability to work, begging on the side of the road. Look at every passerby with a smile, and if you don't have a tight hand, help them a little bit. A few pieces of change, a few loaves of bread, or a bottle of mineral water. Maybe these things that don't matter to you can bring them a sense of gratitude to you and even the courage to survive on their own.

Giving roses to people has a lingering fragrance, and if you do more good things, the good fortune will naturally come quickly. Of course, those who have the ability to work are not worth giving alms at all. Friends, defend themselves from truth and falsehood, and distinguish between good and evil.
