Chapter 088: Gold and Silver Silk Sedan Chair
"What did the sixth master ask me to do?" I asked.
In the end, it is the sixth master, who always hangs me with seven phases.
Bai Shounian said: "The specific Sixth Master hasn't said yet, but it's a big deal, and the main reason for calling you back today is to tell you that although you haven't been studying here for a long time, the master here has already taught you what the master can teach you, and when you do the next thing that the Sixth Master commands, you can leave from Jingheguan." ”
I was surprised, "That's it?" ”
I thought I'd have to study for a month or two.
He nodded, "To put it bluntly, this is the basic class, since you have already learned it, you don't have to waste any more time, you go back and rest for a few days first, and I will inform you after the sixth master's affairs are ordered." ”
"Okay."
When I came out of Bai Shounian's office, it was Huang Shanjun who sent me back to the county seat.
"What are your plans for the next few days?" He asked me.
I thought about it for a moment and said, "Find a house to live in." ”
His eyes lit up, and he said: "You don't need to look for it, just live in the house opposite me, which was also bought by the sixth master, and no one lives there, so I'll tell the sixth master when I turn around." ”
"Will it work?" I'm a little tempted, after all, it doesn't cost anything to live there.
He smiled and said: "What can be done or not, to be honest, you live closer to the sixth master is more at ease." ”
I thought about it, and besides, the sixth master now knows that Yu Hao is back, and there is nothing inconvenient about living in it.
I told him to move tomorrow, and I started packing up when I returned to the store, and as soon as I packed my clothes, I received a call from my second aunt.
I had a bad feeling in my heart.
"Second aunt, what's wrong?" I asked.
She said in a dumb voice, "Come to the hospital again, your second uncle...... Nope. ”
My ground was cold, I hung up the phone and hurried to the hospital, and when I arrived, the second uncle was already out of breath.
"A few days ago, the doctor said that it could be raised, why did it suddenly disappear?" I asked, wrinkling my eyebrows.
The second aunt sighed and said, "He knows that it was the hospitalization fee you gave, and he was reluctant to spend your money, and he was discharged from the hospital in the middle, so it won't work with such a toss." ”
My heart was sour when I listened, and I held back my tears to comfort my second aunt.
The second aunt squatted on the ground, holding my arm and crying silently.
She cried for a while, and I saw that her mood calmed down, so I went out to contact the villagers to come and help pull the second uncle back for burial.
The coffin of the second uncle had already been prepared, and after going back, he changed into a shroud and put it directly in the coffin, and carried the coffin to be buried at five o'clock the next day.
died in middle age, and we didn't do much in this area, so we only built a shed on the village road, and did not invite a singing troupe.
Invited someone to have a meal at noon, and the house was quiet in the evening, Zhiqiang nestled in the arms of his second aunt, his expression wilted.
I took out the 5,000 yuan I had prepared a long time ago and gave it to my second aunt, comforted her a few words, and planned to go back to the county seat.
When he walked to the door, Zhiqiang caught up and said, "Sister, I saw my uncle." ”
My dad is the boss, and according to the custom on our side, Zhiqiang calls my dad uncle.
I stiffened, and hurriedly turned around and asked, "When?" ”
He whispered: "On the night of my father's breath, I was in the hospital with my mother that day, my mother was sleeping in the corridor outside, I was by the bedside, and I heard someone talking at night, and when I opened my eyes, I saw my uncle, and he smiled at me." ”
"What did they say?" I asked hurriedly.
Zhiqiang frowned, thought for a long time, and said: "Uncle said that my father would not enjoy happiness and not cherish himself, and said that he should go with peace of mind, at that time, the uncle touched my head, and I fell asleep, and I don't know what to say later." ”
Looks like my dad is fine.
The big stone in my heart finally fell to the ground, coaxed Zhiqiang for a while, and watched him go back to the house before going to the county seat.
On the way, I said to Yu Hao: "It seems that my dad is still alive and well." ”
Yu Hao said: "He is so smart, he can't do anything easily." ”
I heard a deep grudge in his words, "You seem to have a deep grudge against my dad?" ”
He said helplessly: "With his ability, he must have seen through my identity, and dared to coax me when I was severely injured and my soul was weak and I lost my memory, and let me be a little ghost by his side for more than ten years." ”
At this, he laughed again, "But he certainly didn't expect that I would take the opportunity to coax his precious daughter into his hands." ”
I glared at him, "Obviously I coaxed you into your hands." ”
He smiled, but didn't argue with me.
I turned my head and asked him, "Yu Hao, what is your identity?" Why are Su Yuze and the old physiognomy so afraid of you? ”
And the sacrifice in the general's tomb is rejuvenated, I'm sure his identity is unusual.
He said, "Now is the time, don't say."
I snorted, "Don't talk about pulling down." ”
I ignored him, rode back to the store on an electric car, packed the rest of the things, and moved to the room that Huang Shanjun said that night.
It was a two-room house on one floor, Huang Shanjun lived in the one on the left, and I lived in the one on the right.
The next day, I disposed of all the goods in the store, filled in the holes that had been dug in the floor and the four walls during the arrangement of the Gogaku Formation, and cleaned the inside and out, and the store was completely emptied.
As soon as he finished doing this, Huang Shanjun said that Bai Shounian called me.
He and I hurriedly rushed to Jingheguan, and when I entered his office, I found that Fan Rou and Zheng Huanying were also there.
Bai Shounian said: "In the past, you were given the task to deal with ghosts, but this time I asked you to protect ghosts. ”
I'm amazed, the ghosts still use us for protection?
Bai Shounian put a photo on the table, I looked down and found that it was a delicate red sedan chair, the top of the sedan chair is hollowed, wrapped with gold and silver wires, like the top of the phoenix crown, and there are jade and silver bells hanging on the sedan chair, and the sedan chair is also painted with various colored flowers, lifelike.
If I had a sedan chair like this, I would be reluctant to sit on it, and I would be very happy just to put it on the sidelines.
"This is the palanquin of the ancient aristocracy." Bai Shounian said: "It belongs to a female yin person who has a relationship with the sixth master, or the soul of the female yin person is attached to the sedan chair, once the sedan chair is destroyed, she will also be scattered, this time she asked the sixth master to help protect her for a month." ”
Zheng Huanying said: "That is, someone wants to deal with her, is it a human or a ghost who is dealing with her?" Can you reveal the identity of that person? ”
Fan Rou echoed and said: "The other party is a human, we naturally have a way to deal with people, if the other party is a ghost, we also have a way to deal with ghosts, what we are most afraid of is not knowing whether the other party is a human or a ghost." ”
Bai Shounian smiled slightly and said, "Coincidentally, I really don't know if the other party is a human or a ghost this time." ”
Zheng Huanying and Fan Rou looked embarrassed.
I looked at the sedan chair and hesitated: "Mr. Bai, the sedan chair looks like it is some years old, and it must be because of that female yin person who can be preserved intact until now, if she really says so, as long as she also exists for a hundred years, such a powerful ghost thing still needs our protection?" ”
What surprised me even more was that the sixth master actually had a relationship with such a powerful ghost.
Bai Shounian said: "The reason for this is that the sixth master didn't say. “
Fan Rou asked: "Then the three of us are going to protect her for a month this time?" ”
"That's not necessary, the last five days are fine, the Taoist priests under the sixth master have been busy recently, and they can't spare manpower for a while, so you go to the top for five or six days first." Bai Shounian said: "Huang Shanjun will assist you, the three of you are not deeply involved in the world, you may have a way to deal with ghosts, but Huang Shanjun is still good at looking at people." ”
Huang Shanjun nodded, there was no look of surprise on his face, it seemed that he had already known that he was going to do this.
Seeing that we were no longer talking, Bai Shounian waved his hand and said, "Go ahead, be careful this time." ”
After speaking, he also looked at me specifically, "Especially you." ”
I know what he means, after all, it's best to see your parents this time.
"Okay." I answered and came out of his office.
Thinking that this time I didn't know if the other party was a human or a ghost, so I hesitated and went back to the house and put on the pickle jar.
Huang Shanjun drove us to a villa in his hand, and the door was opened by a middle-aged woman with sharp eyes.
After Huang Shanjun explained to her what she was going to do, she let us in.
The middle-aged woman said that her name was Zeng Wan, and the sedan chair was her family's ancestral heirloom.
"The sedan chair is beautifully made and has a high artistic value, and it will be sent to the city's museum for exhibition in a few days." Zeng Wan said: "The sedan chair has also been carried out for exhibition before, but this time I always have no reason to panic, I have a dream for several days, every time the dream is the same, the sedan chair was burned, just when I don't know what to do, I had a dream, in the dream there was a woman in a wedding dress said that she was the owner of the sedan chair, the soul stayed on the sedan chair, this time someone wanted to harm her, she has invited someone, and it will arrive today." ”
Saying that, she smiled: "I thought it was just a dream, but I didn't expect you to really come." ”
As she spoke, she led us to the second floor, pushed open the innermost door, and I saw the sedan chair.
It looks delicate enough from the photos, but when you really see it, you understand what it means to be beautiful.
Zeng Wan said: "I didn't understand why this sedan chair has been passed down for several generations, why it is still so well preserved, until the last time I dreamed, I didn't know that it was not an ordinary sedan chair." ”
Zheng Huanying walked around the sedan chair and said to Zeng Wan, "Can we stay in this house alone for half an hour?" ”
Zeng Wan hesitated for a moment, shook her head, and said, "I'm afraid this won't work, the sedan chair is too precious." ”
She didn't agree, Zheng Huanying didn't force it anymore, closed the door directly, and nodded to Fan Rou.
I knew that they were going to summon the yin man in the sedan chair, so they automatically stepped aside.
Fan Rou drew a talisman with cinnabar on the spot, while Zheng Huanying took out the dust, sat cross-legged in front of the sedan chair, took the talisman paper drawn by Fan Rou, pinched it in his hand, and recited a spell to the sedan chair.
Looking at their tacit cooperation, I somewhat understood why Bai Shounian sent the two of them over, and the two of them seemed to cooperate often.
The doors and windows in the house were tightly closed, but the dust in Zheng Huanying's hand floated a few sticks.
Her head drooped suddenly, and then slowly lifted it again, and the expression on her face had changed, gentle and calm, with a kind of vicissitudes of time.
Of course, this is just what Huang Shanjun and others saw, but what I saw was the phantom on Zheng Huanying's face, and I could barely see that it was a woman with delicate facial features, with a vain face and a very weak life, not even an ordinary ownerless lonely soul.
No matter how you look at it, she doesn't look like a female ghost who has lived for hundreds of years.
"Who is the person who wants to harm you?" Fan Rou asked.
Zheng Huanying's eyes moved, the corners of her mouth drooped down, and she shook her head slowly.
Is this not known or can't be said?
Fan Rou asked another question: "Is it a human or a ghost who wants to harm you?" ”
Zheng Huanying still shook her head.
It seems that she either doesn't know, or she has something unspeakable.
I thought about it for a while and said, "It seems that I can't ask, so let's stop, Zheng Huanying's body can't stand it after a long time." ”
As I spoke, I walked up to Zheng Huanying and wanted to take the talisman paper away from her hand, but she suddenly looked up at me with pleading eyes.
I was stunned and reached for the rune paper, only to be stuffed into a ball of paper at the same time.
Without a trace, I put away the paper ball, took down the rune paper, and tapped Zheng Huanying's eyebrows twice.
She shuddered and regained consciousness.
I got up and said, "It seems that the people in the sedan chair don't know anything, so we can only rely on our own defense." ”
I looked at Huang Shanjun and said, "Brother Huang, the people who have come and gone these days please watch more, and as for the ghosts, they will be handed over to us." ”
"No problem." Huang Shanjun said.
I looked at Zeng Wan and said, "Please arrange a room for us, preferably closer to this room, so that we can observe the situation in this room." ”
She frowned and said, "Is it just one?" There are a lot of houses in the family, and I'm afraid that three people in one room will wronged you. ”
"That's good, the three of us do it a lot, we're used to it." I say.
She didn't insist anymore and let me live in the house on the second floor at the corner of the stairs.
After entering the house, I first checked inside and out, and only after making sure it was safe did I breathe a sigh of relief and take out the paper ball in my hand.
Although Zheng Huanying was ghosted at the time, she was also conscious and knew that she gave me this paper ball, so I didn't have to hide it from them.
When I opened the paper ball, there were six words written on it: people are ghosts, ghosts are ghosts, and it is difficult to distinguish between people and ghosts.
I broke out in a cold sweat when I read these lines.
Fan Rou and Zheng Huanying were also silent after seeing it.
After a long time, Fan Rou said: "She is telling us that a ghost has become a human and wants to harm her, let us be careful?" ”
"It's also possible that people have become ghosts." I looked at them and said, "You don't notice that she is too weak, she doesn't look like a ghost who has lived for a hundred years, but more like a ghost who has been dead for a few days." “
Zheng Huanying understood what I meant, "You mean, she probably died a few days before she was sealed in a sedan chair." ”
"Yes." I say.
Fan Rou said: "But it's useless for us to think about this now, it's none of our business, the task given by the sixth master is to protect the sedan chair and the soul in the sedan chair from accidents, no matter how many days she dies, as long as we can keep the sedan chair without accidents." ”
I think so.
After discussing the matter, Fan Rou complained to me and said, "Why do you only need one room?" Now there are two people in this bed, what about the rest? ”
I smiled and said, "I made a bunk on the floor, this is the second floor, there is still a carpet on the floor, I went out to ask for a quilt, and it is very comfortable to sleep." ”
After tidying up, we went to sleep, and I lay down near the door, for fear that something might happen at night.
I don't know why, I always feel that the ghost in the sedan chair seems to be afraid of Zeng Wan.
As I was thinking, a bright light suddenly flickered in front of me, and I squinted my eyes and saw a crack in the door, and a hand reached in.
