Chapter 4 There are ghosts in the hotel
The boss saw that Zhang Guanshan was satisfied and was about to go back, but Zhang Guanshan stopped him, "Boss, wait a minute!" The boss stopped, looked back at Zhang Guanshan and said politely: "What does the boss command?" Zhang Guanshan looked left and right, and said in a low voice: "If the boss doesn't mind, let's talk in the room!" ”
The boss hesitated for a moment, and when he saw that we were an old man and a young man, he would not pose any threat to him, so he nodded and entered the house. Zhang Guanshan did not speak after entering the house, but took out a yellow talisman from his cloth bag and pasted it on the door. Seeing this, the boss showed a look of horror on his face, and he pointed at Zhang Guanshan and stammered, "You...... What are you...... Do? ”
Zhang Guanshan smiled indifferently, and said affirmatively, "It seems that you know!" There's a ghost in your inn, and it's in the room you opened for us before! The boss's face showed a panicked look, he instinctively wanted to deny it, but when he touched Zhang Guanshan's perceptive eyes, he suddenly became speechless. He thought for a moment and asked, "Master, is there really a ghost in that room?" Zhang Guanshan nodded solemnly.
The boss's face immediately fell, and he muttered, "There really is a ghost, no wonder he would transfer the inn to me so cheaply!" It turns out that there are really ghosts here! Then he grabbed Zhang Guanshan's sleeve and said anxiously: "Master, as long as you can help me get rid of that ghost, I will give you two hundred yuan!" "In 1988, 200 yuan was a lot of money, enough for me and Zhang Guanshan to travel from Sichuan to southern Jiangsu and other expenses. The boss's willingness to give this number also shows that the ghost in his inn has caused him a lot of trouble.
Zhang Guanshan broke free from the innkeeper's hand and asked, "How many people have lived in this inn so far?" The innkeeper scratched the back of his head embarrassedly, "Hehe, because this place has been haunted before, and there are few people living in the county, so there are only you in the hotel today!" ”
"Good! I know! Go get me a bowl of rooster blood and an ink fountain, the sooner the better! Zhang Guanshan knew it, in fact, he chose this hotel because he saw the ghost spirit inside. Their Zhang family ancestor training: If you encounter ghosts, you will accept them.
The boss quickly prepared the things that Zhang Guanshan needed, Zhang Guanshan poured the chicken blood into the ink fountain and stirred it well, and then instructed the boss to lock the door, he used the ink fountain to play a grid line on the door, and asked the boss to go to his own bedroom, and after playing the grid line on the door, he told: "You can't open the door at night no matter what movement you hear, remember?" ”
The boss chick couldn't help but nod his head as if he was pecking rice, "Remember, remember!" ”
Back in the room, Zhang Guanshan asked me, "Lin Xi, are you afraid of ghosts?" I shook my head, this is not the first time I have seen ghosts, and since I am determined to learn Taoism, I will not be afraid of ghosts. Zhang Guanshan nodded with satisfaction, he touched my head and showed a loving smile on his face.
"You put this yellow talisman on your body!" Zhang Guanshan took out a yellow talisman folded into a triangle from his bag and put it in the pocket of my chest.
"Master, why did you use a chicken blood ink fountain just now?" I tilted my head, feeling that it was supposed to be used to prevent the ghost from escaping through the door, but I still wanted to confirm with Zhang Guanshan.
"It's called the Door Sealing Array, and it's to prevent ghosts from coming in and out. As soon as the rooster crows and the world is white, the rooster's crowing is a signal of the change of day and night, so the rooster's blood has a strong effect of driving away evil spirits. Since ancient times, the ink fountain has a straight line to adjust the pillars, if you shoot a line, the evil demons in the world dare not stop it, and it is a common and easy to use magic weapon in the exorcism. The combination of the two, whether it is used to seal ghosts or zombies, has a good effect. However, the only disadvantage of the ink fountain line is that it is afraid of water, and once it gets wet, it will paste off, and there will be no effect of the seal. "Zhang Guanshan explained to me patiently, and I knew that he wanted me to remember the origin of the effectiveness of these magic weapons.
After a brief wash, Zhang Guanshan said that he would sleep for a while, and then we would go to the haunted room at midnight. Otherwise, if you don't get enough sleep and don't have enough energy, it's easy for evil qi to enter the body. It's summer now, and there are a lot of mosquitoes in the hotel, and I haven't stopped my hands since I was lying in bed, and I've been beating the mosquitoes flying around. Seeing this, Zhang Guanshan took out a small bundle of wormwood from his almighty bag, lit it with a match, and smoked the four corners of the house, and the mosquitoes that were still flying in the house fell to the ground in a daze. There was no mosquito infestation, and soon I fell asleep......
In my dream, I came to the station and saw a girl about eighteen or nineteen years old, wearing a blue background and a small white floral dress, getting off the train with a big schoolbag on her back. The girl has fair skin, a delicate face, a pair of big eyes flickering and very beautiful, and her long black hair is braided into two braids hanging down on her chest. She excitedly went to the ticket office and asked for a shuttle to town, and the conductor told her that the last bus had left ten minutes earlier. If you want to get to town, you can only wait for the first train tomorrow morning at 8 o'clock! The girl was very disappointed, but she couldn't, so she had to carry a large bag and prepare to find a hotel for a night.
The girl walked out of the station with her bag on her back, and when she saw the hospitable guest hanging on the bungalow opposite, she took the backpack on her back and walked towards the hotel. At this point, I was watching a movie, and wherever the girl went, I had her in front of me.
I looked at the inn where the girl went, and it looked familiar, and thought about it for a while, isn't this the hotel we are staying in today? It's just a different name. How could I dream of this in my dreams? I was puzzled, and there was always a sense of foreboding in my heart when I watched the girl step into the back of the hotel.
As soon as the picture in front of me turned, the girl had come to the front desk.
"Boss, do you still have a room?" The girl asked politely with a smile. The man who had been immersed in reading raised his head when he heard the sound, and when he saw the girl's face, his eyes immediately appeared obsessed. I noticed that this boss was not the same boss we had when we checked in today, he was supposed to be the previous boss. Although I haven't seen many people, the boss in front of me gives me a sense of sinisterity. I looked at the boss, then at the girl, and I had a gut feeling that something was going to happen to the girl.
"Boss, is there still a room here?" When the girl saw that the boss was looking at her but was silent, she asked again.
"Oh...... Yes...... Yes, yes, yes! Only then did the boss react, and his eyes immediately narrowed into a slit with laughter.
"How much is a night?"
"1 dollar a night for a triple bed, 2 dollars a night for a twin bed, 4 dollars a night for a single bed! Girl, you can live in a single bed alone, I'll give you a discount of three yuan a night! The boss squinted his eyes and looked the girl up and down.
"Okay, thank you boss!" The girl smiled gratefully at the boss and took three dollars out of her pocket and gave it to the boss. The boss didn't let the girl register either, and just took the key and prepared to take the girl to the room.
