Chapter Seventy-Five: A Ghost in the Moonlight
"Whose name?"
For some reason, when I asked this, I felt a little empty in my heart. Yes, when Lao Tang said that there was also a name on the back of another paper man, I had a faint bad premonition, and my heart said don't be my name!
However, sometimes God just likes to play such tricks with you, and the more you worry about something, the more it comes. Just after I asked this, I only heard Lao Tang reply, "Your name!" ”
Hearing the other party's words, my heart sank to the bottom, especially when Lao Tang turned the back of the paper man and saw the three words "Chen Ergou" written on the back of the paper man, I had an inexplicable panic in my heart.
Write our names on the paper figure and put it in the coffin, this kind of bad luck is not to think about it, it must be used to harm people. And the people who are important to the other party are naturally me and Lao Tang.
What the hell is all this going on? Who is targeting us? And what is the purpose of the other party doing all this?
Ghosts are not scary, but this kind of thing is really scary, because you don't know what kind of evil art the other party writes your name on the paper figure, and what kind of evil art will it do to you? It is this kind of unknown panic that makes people feel chills in their hearts.
My brow furrowed, and I tried to remember what I had learned, wondering what kind of magic was in front of me, but no matter how much I thought, I couldn't think of a single reason.
At this time, Lao Tang asked me, "Who do you think will harm us?" ”
I shook my head, paused, and then said, "Could it be that we interfered in the affairs of the Ma family, you should still remember the seven nails on Old Man Ma's coffin?" ”
To be honest, if the other party was just Lao Tang's enemy, then I would definitely not write my name on the paper man. On the contrary, if the other party was only targeting me, it would be impossible to place the coffin in front of Lao Tang's shop, let alone write his name on the paper figure. Since the other party's goal is very clear, it is the two of us, who will we offend?
You must know that Lao Tang and I have not known each other for a long time, except for going to Niutou Mountain once, and we have dealt with the affairs of the Ma family together in the past few days. If you want to say who we have offended together, after thinking about it, I really can't think of any other reason than meddling in the seven nails on Old Man Ma's coffin.
As I said before, the most taboo thing in the yin and yang industry is to meddle in other people's spells. And when we dealt with the case of Old Man Ma's corpse, it happened that the reason for the corpse fraud was that someone had cast an evil spell in the coffin. We defused this catastrophe for the Ma family, which is undoubtedly equivalent to meddling in other people's spells.
The more I thought about it, the more I felt that it was related to the Ma family's affairs, and I couldn't help but smile bitterly in my heart: "Old Tang, now we are in big trouble." ”
Lao Tang looked at me with a solemn face, let out a long breath of turbidity, and then said, "What should we do now?" Although we meddled in the affairs of the Ma family, we didn't mean to break the spells of our peers, but we didn't even know who the other party was, and even if we had the heart to explain, we couldn't find anyone. ”
Lao Tang is right, when we took over the business of the Ma family, we really didn't know that Old Man Ma's deception of the corpse would be related to personal grievances, and by the time we knew that Old Man Ma's coffin had been tricked, it was already too late.
At this time, Lao Tang burst out of a nameless anger and scolded: "Ma Yun, that guy must not be telling the truth, the other party can even be angry with us in order to harm Ma Yun, obviously the other party has a deep hatred with Ma Yun." Since there is a deep hatred, how can Lao Yun not know about it! his uncle, tomorrow I have to ask Ma Yun to spit out the truth, or I won't be done with him! ”
I nodded, as the so-called bell is still tied to the bell, who is harming us, only Ma Yun knows.
I pointed to the coffin in front of me and said, "So what now?" ”
Lao Tang said, "Otherwise, it's burned?" ”
I hurriedly shook my head and said, "Although I don't know what kind of spell this thing is, putting the paper figure with our name written on it in the coffin obviously means cursing us to death." It's just that...... The paper figures have the names of the two of us written on them, if we recklessly burn them, will our lives be finished with the paper figures? ”
I'm not joking, because if someone does a sorcery, the paper figure is usually linked to someone's life, and if the paper figure is traumatized, the corresponding person will also be injured. This kind of evil witchcraft is widely spread among the people, for example, if someone wants to harm in the past, they will tie a small paper figure or straw man, write the birth date of the enemy, and then while chanting a mantra, take a needle to pierce the paper man or straw man, so that the corresponding person will be in pain like a needle prick, and life is better than death.
Because of this, I really didn't dare to burn these two paper figures casually.
Hearing me say this, Lao Tang was also a little scared, and said nervously: "Then what should I do?" ”
I thought about it, so I said: "Let's let it go first, and tomorrow we will ask who is going to harm us from Ma Yun's mouth, and then we will talk to each other in person." If it really doesn't work, let's think of another way! ”
Lao Tang agreed with me, and in the end, we carried the coffin to the side of the store, and the two paper figures, we did not put them in the coffin, but placed them next to the coffin. I don't want something with my name on it lying in a coffin all the time.
The matter of the coffin and the paper figure was put aside for the time being, and we entered the fortune-telling parlor, and it was about eleven o'clock in the middle of the night.
The fortune-telling hall is divided into the front hall and the back hall, the front hall is placed with a variety of magic instruments and Buddhas, usually Lao Tang is in the front hall to tell fortunes and solve disasters to make a living, and the back hall is divided into two, there are two bedrooms. Lao Tang slept in the master bedroom, and I slept in the guest bedroom.
Although we are in big trouble now, because the old man Ma cheated the corpse the night before, and he was busy burying the old man Ma during the day, Lao Tang and I didn't close our eyes for a day and a night, so as soon as we fell on the bed, we couldn't stand the sleepiness and fell asleep one after another.
I don't know how long I slept this night, anyway, I had some strange dreams all night, first I dreamed of Fa Xiaoxiaoliu, who was standing at the entrance of the village with his back to me in the dream. I'm surprised that he didn't die, how did he come back? I went to ask him, but he turned his back to me and ignored me, so I walked over and touched him, but as soon as he turned around, I was startled, this is not Xiao Liu at all, but a paper man!
At that time, I was so frightened that I felt a tremor in my heart, and then the things in the dream changed and became Lao Tang's fortune-telling parlor. I sat in a fortune teller and told people's fortunes, and I wondered when this shop would be mine. At this time, I saw a large black coffin in the center of the fortune telling hall, and I was very curious so I walked over and pushed the coffin lid open, and when I saw it, Lao Tang was lying in the coffin. Dressed in a black shroud, with straight hands and feet, he looked like a dead corpse.
I was a little sad to see Lao Tang die, and I asked him why did you die?
Lao Tang actually answered me, he said, "I'm not dead, help me up." ”
When I saw that he was not dead, I reached in and tried to lift him up from the coffin. As a result, his hand hugged him, and his palm pierced his body directly.
I was startled to see that I was carrying a white paper figure from the coffin, and a spirit woke up from my dream.
When I woke up, I sat up straight from my bed, gasping for breath. Thinking back to those strange dreams just now, I felt terrible in my heart. Fortunately, it was nothing more than a dream.
At this time, the sky was not yet dawn, and the moonlight outside was very large, but the room was very dim, and the light was very bad. I reached for my phone from the bedside table and looked at the time, it was only two o'clock in the middle of the night.
At this point, I felt a little anxious to pee, so I planned to get up and pee and come back to sleep. But when I got up to pee and passed through the back door of the front hall, I casually glanced into the front hall out of the corner of my eye, but this glance caught a glimpse of a person standing in the front hall.
Yes, the antechamber has two large windows, and the moonlight shines in through the windows, making the antechamber much better than the backroom. In the moonlight, a dark figure stood motionless in the corner of the wall in front of the window.
At that time, I was shocked, who is this person? Why did the third watch appear here in the middle of the night?
When I walked to the center of the front hall, it was about a meter or two away from the other party, and then I recognized the back of this person standing in front of the window, or I recognized his clothes, isn't this Lao Tang?
I'm surprised, why didn't Lao Tang sleep in the middle of the night, standing alone in front of the window in a daze?
"Old Tang, what are you doing?"
I called out to him.
But he ignored me, still with his back to me, motionless, as if he hadn't heard me call him.
The other party's appearance made me feel a little strange in my heart, and I vaguely felt that something was wrong, but I couldn't say it. This feeling made me feel very uneasy.
Then I called out to him again, but he still ignored me, so I slowly approached and reached out to touch him.
When I touched his body with my hand, the feeling of my hand told me that this *** is not a person at all, because he is too light, and I just touch it lightly, and it will all sway. When I saw it, I was so shocked that I almost screamed, this *** turned out to be a paper man!
That's when I finally understood that something was wrong. Dream, yes, this scene in front of me is exactly the same as the strange dream I just had, because the person in front of me is not Lao Tang at all, but a paper figure wearing Lao Tang's clothes! <
