Chapter 5: Grandpa's pocket watch

Speaking of hotels, it is also a place where the gods frequent it. Especially the first and last room. Often, there will be more people. Why is the first or last room in the hotel so popular with the spirits?

Here I want to tell you about the spirit of the hotel. The spirit of the hotel is roughly divided into three types,

First, the spirit that was disturbed during the construction of the hotel. If you don't invite people in the industry to move the grave and break ground in the early stage, you don't ask someone to deal with it in the later stage. There will be a lot of resentment, and sooner or later something will happen, and the hotel feng shui will be seriously damaged. The business cannot make ends meet, and it will inevitably end up in bankruptcy.

Second, the wandering gods are the lonely ghosts that everyone knows. Most of them do not leave with others after finding a place to live. Only occasionally come out to scare the guests. It does not entangle or cause physical pain to the guests, and it is usually used in the form of dreams to indicate its existence, and there is no great harm.

The third is what the guests bring in. And the spirit left behind, this kind of spirit generally, will not stay for too long, and people who meet the eight characters and live will follow for a period of time, or disaster or illness or bad luck.

And the next thing I'm going to talk about is brought about by the third kind of spirit.

It was around the end of the National Day in 2013. A college classmate from Wuhan called me.

His sister and brother-in-law took their 5-year-old son to Rencheng for a trip on National Day, and after coming back, his son was like a different person, talking to himself all day long, sometimes saying inexplicable words to a corner, and sometimes telling his parents that he wanted to go back to Rencheng. He's looking for a wife. made his parents not know what to do, after the double scientific study of the hospital doctor and the psychiatrist. His brother-in-law was sure that the child was not sick and not deliberately naughty. It's probably an evil spirit.

So I inquired in many ways, and only then did my college classmates know about me, and then they couldn't wait to get through my phone!

My college classmate's surname is Wang, and he is in the same department as me, and we met at the captain's draw of the school's freshman cup football match. There are only two teams in our department, and our team and theirs are in the same line, so they can talk very well. At that time, they were young and vigorous, and they vowed to fight for their heads in the finals of Luojia Mountain. In the end, the reputation of the first eliminated team was evenly matched. After that, we became good friends, even though our habits and hobbies were very different.

His biggest credit for college is that he has changed girlfriends he doesn't know how many. And my greatest credit is that I have learned to memorize I don't know how many scriptures, charms, hand mantras and methods! So after college, he opened a sex toy shop, and recently started a wedding planning company. And I, using my strengths, took it for granted that I became the god stick in his mouth.

As for why we don't go to the professional counterpart. Actually, it's because we didn't graduate! His time is busy changing girlfriends, and more than half of my time is not in school, but in the master's Baolian Temple to learn Taoism and practice, and follow the master out of business! The most direct consequence of this is that I only met a few friends in college and didn't graduate successfully, so strictly speaking, I was still a second-rate person with only a high school degree.

Getting back to the point, after listening to the description of the classmates who spoke Wuhan dialect. I was stunned for a moment, and calmly asked, "Are you talking about Pisa?" He said loudly, you He Laozi。。。。。 When I was ready to redescribe it in Mandarin. I stopped him in time and told him that I was teasing him, and he was about to explode when I opened my mouth and asked, "Your brother-in-law is not around." He said yes.

The information I learned from my brother-in-law was roughly the same as what Fun Wang said. What I learned extra was that the place where they played in Rencheng was in Chimelong, and the hotel they stayed in was Chimelong Hotel. Hearing this, I have decided that I want to take over the business. Because Erotic Wang is a good friend of mine, and the Chimelong Hotel is not cheap.

Because my brother-in-law was very anxious, I bought the high-speed train from Rencheng to Wuhan at noon that day.

When I arrived in Wuhan, it was not dark. I haven't even had time to eat a bowl of hot dry noodles that I haven't had in a long time. was pulled by the love Wang on his brother-in-law's Mercedes-Benz, and drove all the way to his brother-in-law's community.

Seeing their serious faces, I gave up the idea of going for a full meal first and settled things first.

Their house is a 280-square-meter duplex building, so I feel more at ease because the remuneration is guaranteed.

When I saw the child, his mother was feeding him dinner. When I stared at him, I realized that he was also staring at me, his eyes very empty. When I tried to get close to him, he suddenly went berserk. grabbed the spoon in front of him and smashed it to the door,

The force deputy is good. It's just that the accuracy is a little worse, and at the same time, I also realize that this is not the strength of an ordinary five-year-old.

So, the child is possessed!!

The child may also feel that the visitor is not good and wants to rush out. Amorous eyes quickly hugged him.

I hurriedly said, "Hold him and put him on the stool!" Then he skillfully pulled out a small bundle of ink fountain thread from his bag.

At this time, my sister spoke.

"What are you going to do? Don't tie him up, okay? Your rope is so thin. It hurts."

I was stunned for a moment, then nodded in understanding. He then took out a sleepy talisman and a waking talisman and hit the child's feet respectively. The child struggled a few times and then quieted down, his eyes looking straight at me,

Then he asked slowly in hoarse but standard Cantonese: Are you a side?

The three of them were stunned, obviously things were beyond their comprehension. I was stunned too. How is it an old lady's voice!!

When they heard the hoarse voice of an old lady coming from the mouth of a child, the three of them were a little broken. The first to react was her sister, who fell to her knees in front of the child with a thud.

He said incoherently, "Please spare him, don't torture him anymore。。。。。 Later, he said a string of inaudible hometown dialects.

The kid was still staring at me stunned, as if waiting for me to answer his question.

Looking at my sister's heart-rending pain, I was at a loss, and I could understand the heartfelt feelings of my beloved son. But that doesn't solve anything.

I waved my hand and motioned for them to step away. I'm going to have a good talk with him!!

After they had all exited the room and closed the door, I moved the chair to the opposite side of the child. She was still looking at me with stunned eyes. Looking at the air between us, to be precise, the atmosphere was very oppressive. In order to relieve the psychological pressure, I took out a cigarette, lit it and smoked it, and then raised Erlang's legs and looked at him in a daze.

Straight to the point, he said: I'm here to see you off.

He suddenly shouted: Return my wife, I want to go back to Rencheng!

He still used Cantonese, which probably meant that. And then he kept yelling and repeating that sentence. Ben didn't give me any chance to ask questions.

I pulled out a requiem and hit him, and it was quiet. But it couldn't go on anymore because the kid fainted. I know it's protesting against me.

Once the spirit fails to communicate, it will not communicate with you again, and this is where I should strengthen my learning.

I reluctantly called them in, and my sister saw the child slumped on the sofa at a glance, and suddenly lost control again. I retrieved the charm from the child and pulled my brother-in-law aside.

When asked, tell me about your affairs in Rencheng, and whether you brought anything back. He groaned for a moment,

Said: It's all some dolls, masks, toys and other things that I bought for the baby at the attraction, nothing special.

I said you take out all the things you brought back from Rencheng and I'll take a look.

He said wait, turned around and went into the inner room and began to rummage through it.

I watched my sister sobbing helplessly holding the child, walked over and patted her on the shoulder to comfort her until she was fine. I'll help you get it. She nodded mechanically, and at this time her brother-in-law came out with a bunch of things, all of which were some toys, white tiger hats, koala schoolbags, rhinoceros pillows, bracelets, or something.

I took out my compass and started looking for paranormal reactions, and sure enough, I found a slight paranormal reaction on a pocket watch, and I picked up the pocket watch.

Asked: This is also bought by Chimelong?

My brother-in-law took it and was stunned for a moment and said, I don't remember this thing.

Then my sister came over with the child in her arms and said that the baby had picked it up under the bed in the hotel.

I thought about it for a moment and kind of understood what was going on

Immediately asked: Did you have an old man who just checked out before you moved in?

My brother-in-law said, how do you know? The hotel was out of room that day, and I was going to change the hotel, but the front desk suddenly said that there was a customer who wanted to check out. Then after waiting for a while, I saw an old man with gray hair come out, and we went into that room.

I said, this pocket watch belongs to the old man, and the old woman who got on your son's body was attached to the pocket watch and was brought to Wuhan by you.

They asked in unison: What then?

I said one word: wait.

In unison, they asked, "What are you waiting for?"

I said, "Wait for the wind."

They were stunned for a moment. I said, just kidding, it's dark now, let's wait for dawn.

Fun Wang looks like he wants to fight with me.

I hurriedly said: "You leave your pocket watch on the child at night." Sleep alone in the children's room, I'll come over tomorrow morning.

Brother-in-law, you give me the invoice for your hotel. By the way, help me book a high-speed rail to return to Rencheng tomorrow morning.

The brother-in-law hurriedly said: What should we do if you leave, can't you handle it?

I smiled confidently and said, "I'll take the trouble with me." Then he went out with the fun and went straight to the food stall on the edge of the East Lake.

The long-lost Wuchang fish, Liangzi Lake Dabai Diao, I'm here!

As soon as the next day dawned, I was going to take me to my brother-in-law's house, and my brother-in-law opened the door and let me in, and I found my sister sitting on the sofa with a haggard face, a little distressed.

Take out a rice charm from your backpack, give it to your brother-in-law and explain to him: After I leave, you can put the rice charm on the child's neck, and you can take it off after seven days.

He nodded. I approached their children's room.

At this time, a ray of sunshine sprinkled on the child's innocent and lovely face, what a beautiful picture!

I gently removed my pocket watch and put it in my bag, and after feeling the compass turning, I zipped it up and walked out of the room! Tell my sister that the baby is okay. Wait until he wakes up and don't tell him what happened! My sister nodded and barely smiled, although there were tears on her face, she looked good.

Seeing this smile and thinking of the picture of the child sleeping peacefully, I thought that this trip was worth it. Immediately said to Wang Wang: Send Lao Tzu to the high-speed rail station. On the way, Funky asked me how I could do it so quickly, and I didn't bother to explain it to him, so I casually said that I had a trick!

He asked, "Then why didn't you make a move when you first came here yesterday?" Return Nima Pit Lao Tzu for a supper!

I said something that left him speechless: Do you want to throw a bomb when the landlord comes up?

I believe everyone knows the speed of the high-speed rail, and I will return to Rencheng South Station at one o'clock in the afternoon. After picking up the car at the south parking lot and paying a huge parking fee, I went straight to the Chimelong Hotel. I walked to the service desk and tried to ask for the registration information of a resident in front of my brother-in-law's room!

The front desk lady immediately rejected my request, which is understandable, after all, I am snooping on other people's privacy. I said with some displeasure: Is that room empty? The answer is yes. After paying a huge amount of room fees and deposits, I got the room card, and I couldn't wait to rush up, came to the room, closed the door, hung up the Do Not Disturb, took out the pocket watch and put it on the desk, and began to shout souls.

Sure enough, an old lady came out and came to the place where she had stayed with her obsession, and her mood was unusually stable. I tentatively asked her for information about my wife, but she didn't say a word, probably because of my failed communication last night.

Since you won't talk to me, then I have to ask you to tell me by asking the pen fairy, but if I ask alone

There is no guarantee that the old lady will be hired accurately.

When I was thinking about who to invite to help invite the pen fairy, the phone at the bedside rang, and the gentle and charming voice of the service desk lady came from the microphone: Hello!

When I was about to say no, the lady at the front desk said: There is an old man who said that he lost something in his room and wanted to look for it. I didn't hesitate to say yes!

Before it was time for a song, the gray-haired old man appeared outside the door. I opened the door and let him in, and I was right to the point: Are you looking for this?

His eyes lit up and he was about to snatch it, so I grabbed it and put it in my pocket and said, "Do you know what's in it?"

He said unexpectedly: Yes, my wife.

I said that I could help her reincarnate sooner.

He probably guessed what I was doing, and said unhurriedly: "Young man, thank you for your kindness." But we're doing well now.

I said, this will affect your lifespan.

He shook his head and said, "If you send her away, it will really affect my lifespan."

Looking at the old man's sincere eyes, I was moved in my heart and did not speak. The old man sat on the couch and said to me, if you have time, I will tell you our story.

Looking at the old man's face full of vicissitudes, I nodded silently. The pocket watch in his hand was actually a little restless.

I silently recited a mantra, Requiem.

I sat on the bed across from the old man, who was silent for a moment and began to tell their story (I can't remember the original words, I can only give a general meaning)

The old grandfather's surname is Jiang, in his early 70s, a native of the city, before he retired, he was a senior manager of a state-owned enterprise, and his family conditions were relatively superior. At that time, the grandfather's original wife died in childbirth, so they did not have another child after they got married, and they wanted to cultivate that son wholeheartedly.

After graduating from high school, Xiao Jiang went to Canada to study, and after graduation, he got married and had children, and has settled there ever since. As a result, it took a long time for the family to see each other once. The last time we saw each other was two years ago when my grandson turned one year old! At that time, the whole family took their grandson to the Xiangjiang Safari Park to play, and stayed in the Chimelong Hotel. That night, the grandmother took her grandson to sleep, and the grandmother liked her grandson very much.

However, it took two years to leave, and after a long time, it became lovesick, and when I was old, my health was not good, and a sudden coronary heart disease directly took my grandmother's life. Until the moment of his last breath, he did not see his son and grandson for the last time.

When the old man said this, his eyes moistened. I know that the old grandmother is so resentful that her soul does not want to leave.

I nodded, handed him a tissue, and said, "And granny came looking for you, right?"

He nodded and said, yes.

The first seven gave him a dream that night, saying that he missed his son and grandson, wanted to see them but couldn't find the way, and every night after that, he would give him a dream and tell him that he would hide it in the pocket watch she gave him. The old grandfather is also reluctant to be with his wife for decades, so he is not afraid or suspicious, he carries a pocket watch everywhere he goes all day, and on that day of every year, he will go to the Chimelong Hotel to revisit, and take the soul of the old grandmother to feel the only place where he sleeps with his grandson.

This year is already in its third year. I was surprised to ask, "Didn't your son and grandson come back?"

He said they were busy, they had to go to work and school, and it was so far away, so I told them not to come back

I suddenly didn't know whether to praise the greatness of father's love and mother's love, or to reprimand Xiao Jiang's unfilial piety.

At this point in the story, I don't think there's any need to listen to it.

I told my grandfather that you can't live like this with her, even if she has no intention of hurting you, but your longevity is doubling down, which is worth the loss.

The old man said that he didn't care about this, and that it was better to go down to accompany her earlier than to live alone.

My eyes moistened when I heard this, what the hell is wrong with this society?

The old people want very little, a little company, a greeting, or even a soft call.

Are these hard?

When we are away from home, we always say that we are very busy and forget to call, but we don't know that our parents at home are also busy but never stop worrying about us. Sometimes a phone call and a greeting can really make them happy all day long.

Getting back to business, looking at the old man's unwavering appearance, I told him that if I don't send her away, not only will she reduce your life, but she will never be reincarnated again in another year. Even if I don't care about her, she will eventually be beaten and scattered, and you will only harm others and yourself.

Actually, I don't want to say this, but I have to tell him the truth. After hearing this, he really started to worry, and after a long thought, after about ten minutes, he asked me if I could let them meet. I know that they only rely on dream communication, which is too virtual and has no substantial emotional outpouring.

I said yes, but you have to help me convince her to go back to where she belongs. The old man nodded.

I pulled out my pocket watch and could feel a strong reaction. After chanting the mantra and shouting out my soul, I exited the room. Time and space are left to them, this last exchange, I hope they have a pleasant conversation.

After waiting at the door for about half an hour, the old man called me in. Seeing the old grandmother's soul standing there very calmly,

I think it's better to persuade you.

Since my grandmother refused to communicate with me, I asked my grandmother with a hexagram to be on the safe side. The hexagram showed that she was indeed willing to go, and then I saw the grandmother off in front of the old man, and the moment I was done, I saw a smile on the old man's face. But I don't know if the smile is bitter or sweet.

When I was dropping him off in the car, I asked for his son's phone number because I wanted to tell him the story.

After seeing the old man leave, I took out the phone and called Fun Wang: Tell your brother-in-law that the matter is settled, but the remuneration will be 30% more.

He hung up the phone, as if to tell me that they weren't bad for money.
