Chapter 51: Number 507

After listening to the whole thing, I felt a cool air swishing in my back. This is too weird, isn't it, is it something unclean?

Chen Lao frowned without saying a word, stood up and came to the window, took out the compass from his pocket, and at the same time his eyes fell on the road outside the tea restaurant.

The old man Ah Liang and I also followed Chen Lao to the window, and I leaned over and asked, "Old Chen, what did you find?" ”

Chen Lao pointed to the intersection opposite the tea restaurant and said, "You see, the intersection in front of you runs north and south, running through east and west, and the crossroads are low, and every time it rains, there will be water here to become a river." ”

"Well, that's true, every time it rains, whether it's heavy or light, it's always the place where the most water accumulates." The old man Ah Liang said.

"Ah Liang, think about it carefully, does this intersection have many traffic accidents every month?" Elder Chen asked.

"Since the road was repaired half a year ago, there have been many traffic accidents." The old man Ah Liang replied solemnly,

Unexpectedly, Chen Lao's words were completely consistent with the actual situation, and he said in his heart that Chen Lao didn't understand feng shui, how could he see it so accurately?

"That's right, this intersection is probably a road to the underworld, the fourteenth, fifteenth, sixteenth, and third days of each month are the days when the ghost door is closed, and your tea restaurant happens to be at the very edge of the crossroads, some ghosts don't want to go to the underworld to report hungry, so they come to your tea restaurant to eat, fill their stomachs so that they can go to the underworld to report reincarnation." Chen Lao said in a deep voice.

Here I will explain to you the difference between the path to yin and the path of yin and yang, although both can lead to the underworld, but they are a little different in nature. Tongyin Road is like a one-way ticket, there is no return. But Yinyang Road is like a round-trip ticket, there is a go and a return.

"Old Chen, why do they all eat noodles?" I asked curiously.

"When the old man has a big birthday, the noodles he eats are called longevity noodles, which means longevity and longevity, and the noodles eaten by ghosts, remove the long words, called longevity noodles, which has the meaning of short life or broken life. Chen Lao explained.

"Brother Sheng, can I still open this store?" The old man is actually more concerned about this issue, the tea restaurant is his half of his life's work, here are his memories of half of his life, it can be said that it is a spiritual sustenance of the old man, and he doesn't want to give up easily.

Chen Lao pondered for a moment and said, "There are only two ways, the first is to break the pattern of this road, so that it cannot become a road through the yin, I am afraid that the municipal side will not allow us to destroy the road." ”

"So, what about the second option?" The old man asked hurriedly.

"The second way is to put a statue of the god at the door to suppress the ghosts, so that they will not dare to come in and eat." Chen Lao said.

"Then I'll go to the temple tomorrow and ask a Bodhisattva to come back and worship at the door." The old man thought for a moment and said.

Chen Lao shook his head and said, "Don't ask the Bodhisattva, the Bodhisattva is merciful, and he can't bear to let them go hungry." If you want to please, please Guan Gong, and use murderous energy to scare them off. ”

The old man was convinced of Chen Lao's words, and said that he would invite a Guan Erye back early tomorrow morning, and then the two old friends who had not seen him for many years must have a lot to say, so I continued to sit beside the two old men and listen to their old stories and listen to their stories when they were young.

It was already past ten o'clock after chatting, and the old man Ah Liang saw that no one came to the restaurant to eat, so he planned to close the store and take us to his house for a few days.

But at this time, the phone rang, and I could feel the old man Ah Liang's body trembling obviously, Chen Lao glanced at me, and I immediately picked up the phone and said, "Hey, hello." ”

There was no one on the other end of the phone, I seemed to hear the whirring wind, and just as I was about to hang up, a low and hoarse voice came from the other end of the phone, the man asked for two fried rice rolls and asked me to send them to him before twelve o'clock.

"Why are they still them?" The old man Ah Liang sat on the chair in fright, and said tremblingly.

"Old Chen, there are ghosts who come into the store to eat noodles because of the relationship between the yin road in front of the door, so is this the case?" I asked, puzzled.

Chen Lao lowered his head and pondered for a moment before saying, "It's hard to say, Ah Liang, you go and prepare two fried rice rolls first, we are not familiar with this place, you show me the way, Xiao Meng and I will send it over to see what is going on." ”

The old man Ah Liang heard the words and entered the kitchen, and after a while, the fried rice noodles were ready, and the address for delivering the food was not far away, just around the tea restaurant, and I took the takeaway and Chen Lao set off according to the road map drawn by Ah Liang.

Hong Kong is known as the city that never sleeps, and even at this time, the roadside food stalls are still popular, and there is an endless stream of people eating. It's just that the old man's tea restaurant is not on the lively main street, plus the location is not very good, so there are not many people eating.

Ten minutes later, Mr. Chen and I followed the route map drawn by Ah Liang to find the delivery address, which is an old-fashioned hollow-shaped tube building, with a total of eight floors, and the corridor is full of tattered debris, which may be the world behind the prosperity of Hong Kong.

Chen Lao and I went directly to the fifth floor, the entire fifth floor is a large open corridor, a rough count, there are seven households in this corridor alone, we came to the innermost room 507 door.

Chen Lao and I looked at each other, Chen Lao knocked on the door, and after a long time, a few Hong Kong dollars were stuffed out of the crack in the door, and at the same time, a hoarse voice said, "Just put it at the door." ”

I could clearly feel a dark wind coming out of the crack in the door, and I could faintly smell a foul smell.

After the man finished speaking, there was no movement, I put the takeaway at the door, leaned down and picked up the Hong Kong dollars, and found that they were not dark coins, so I put them in my pocket.

Chen Lao glanced at me, and I hid at the staircase, wanting to see who came out to get takeout.

After the two of us hid, we waited for a long time and no one came out to get the takeaway, so I whispered to Chen Lao, "Chen Lao, just now I felt a yin qi coming out of the crack in the door, and at the same time there was a smell. ”

"I also smell it, it seems to be the smell of rotting corpses, you see that the entrance door of his house is facing northeast, and the windows in the house must be facing southwest, and the southwest direction is not facing the road to the yin, as long as someone in that room is dead, it must be hit by the yin qi of the road, and the soul cannot leave." Old Chen said in a low voice.

"Are there dead people living there?" I asked, a little scared.

"It's hard to say, I'll see later." Chen Lao said.

The two of us hid at the top of the stairs until twelve o'clock, when the lights in the hallway suddenly went out one after another.

My heart also rose to my throat, his uncle, do you want to be so infiltrating, the quiet in the dark corridor is terrifying, and I can only hear the heavy breathing of me and Chen Lao.
