18. Ask again
Sitting in Lao De's shop for several hours, the things I learned from Lao De's mouth, whether it was the secret technique of sucking away my seven emotions and six desires, or the three-life wood incense, at least this Xi'an trip was not in vain.
After Lao De went to greet the other guests, Big Dog and I kept arguing about what he was for me in the previous life.
I said it was my pet dog, and he said it was my lover.
In the end, after I beat him up, he chose to compromise......
However, Liangchi has been looking at Lao De and Lao De's entire store with a solemn expression, and none of us opened his mouth to mention the stubble of the hotel, and finally half an hour after Lao De left our table, Liang Chi began to talk to me.
He leaned into my ear and whispered, "Ah Yi, you look at those guests carefully." ”
I turned my head to see that the big dog followed suit.
Lao De's shop is actually quite large, but there are only three tables of customers in the huge inner hall except for our table, and one of the tables is only a man in a Taoist uniform in a yellow coat, and there is a mahogany sword on the table. There were three people at the other table, who looked a little fierce and sturdy. At the last table sat an ordinary-looking long-haired woman, she pinned a small drum around her waist, but I noticed that she had silver bells hanging on her feet, if I guessed correctly, this should be a Miaojiang woman, and it is a Miaojiang woman who is good at using Gu, don't ask me how I know, isn't it written like this in the novel?
When I retracted my eyes in confusion and looked at Liangchi, Liangchi's jaw stretched out slightly in the other direction, and I followed his line of sight again, only to see Lao De standing at the door facing a group of six people in the family group and said, "I'm sorry, our things are all sold out." ”
The woman in the lead of them still refuses to give up: "Shall we go in and rest?" If we don't order something, we can still pay you, okay? ”
Lao De smiled and shook his head and said to the group of guests, "It's getting late. ”
In the end, the group left, with a little helplessness and anger. As soon as Lao De turned around and continued to entertain the guests in the inner hall, we saw Lao De bring a stack of steamed buns to the table of the three strong men, and I looked inside through the window of Lao De's steamed buns......
This big ** (big liar) has a lot of drawers of buns stacked on the steamer in the kitchen!
Liang Chi said softly on the side: "Look, the people he receives should be people who know some strange arts, and the one in the yellow coat is a Taoist priest, right?" Those three strong men should also be in the doorway, as for that woman, don't you think her facial expression is a little stiff, other small drums around her waist, and silver bells on her hands, feet, and neck, will she be a Miao Jiang woman who is easy to look like and is good at using Gu. ”
The big dog looked at Liangchi suspiciously: "How do you know?" ”
Liangchi glanced at the big dog, shook his head helplessly, and seemed to feel hopeless about the big dog's IQ, and then patiently explained to him: "Look at their appearance, they are eating silently, each with their own hearts. The yellow-clothed Taoist priest and the woman alone came alone, and it was normal not to speak, after all, there was no one to accompany them. But there was no communication between the three people at the table from the time they came in to the present. And they all looked solemn, as if they were going to do something big. Look at Lao De again, he is still picking customers to receive, and he said before that he is the goalkeeper of the ghost market, so if I guess correctly, these people are all people in the doorway, and they are all ready to go to the yin and yang ghost market. ”
The big dog suddenly realized and nodded.
Zhang Ming, who was stunned with fright on the side, if he hadn't sat diagonally opposite me and glanced at him every time he looked at the big dog, he would have almost become like air and had no sense of existence.
Outside, the night is even more intense, and the surrounding shops are lit up with various lights, which are clearly flickering, like bright stars printed on the faces of passers-by, and people have different looks, some happy, some dull......
I glanced at the round clock hanging on the wall of the shop, and the hour and minute hands overlapped and pointed to the 8 and 9 ranges, which means that we have been sitting in the shop for at least eight hours until now.
Liangchi turned his head to Zhang Ming: "I'll ask you a few questions, and you answer honestly." ”
Zhang Ming glanced at Liangchi timidly, then at me and the big dog, and under the angry glare of the big dog's round eyes, he nodded a little timidly.
"How many times have you handed over bottles to that person?"
"Twice."
"Every meeting is a face-to-face transaction?"
"Yes."
"You've never seen her before?"
"No, the first time I saw her, she was just veiled, and I could see her eyes, and those eyes seemed to have magic, and I believed everything she said. When I saw her again, she wore a white hat on her head, and the light veil that hung down from the hat covered her eyes, and she couldn't see anything clearly. ”
"Did she say anything every time she gave her something?"
Zhang Ming shook his head: "No, every time I give her a bottle, she will give me a new small bottle." Then it disappeared into the crowd. ”
Ryochi continued, "She didn't say how many times she would have to give her the bottle before it was over?" ”
Zhang Ming still shook his head.
I frowned slightly and stared at Zhang Ming: "She helped you transfer and take away Liu Yan's luck, did you hand over anything to her?" ”
Zhang Ming pondered for a while before nodding: "I gave her Liu Yan's hair, and ...... My own blood. ”
That's right, but if you want to take away what doesn't belong to you, you have to pay a price, for example, there are two kinds of evil arts about making a fortune that I know, one is a kind of little ghost, not to mention the secret technique of raising a little ghost, it is complicated and troublesome, and you have to find the kind of child who died with great resentment, and if you raise it carelessly, you will also be attacked and lose your life. There is also a kind of five ghost fortune skills.
There are two versions of the five ghosts of the five ghosts of the Han folk legend, the first refers to Cao Shi, Zhang Si, Li Jiu, Wang Ren, Zhu Guang and other five Yin generals; The second refers to the five spirit princes, namely Zhang Yuanbo, the ghost of wealth in the east, Liu Yuanda of the ghost, Zhao Gongming, the ghost of wealth in the south, Zhong Shigui, the ghost of wealth in the north, and Shi Wenye, the ghost of wealth in China. And the five ghosts in the spell carry that is, to drive the five ghosts to carry wealth and bring other people's wealth to their own home. The five ghosts are found in old Chinese novels, saying that the five little ghosts can take people's property without opening the door and breaking people's cages. It can be divided into two types: one is Feng Shui and the other is spelling. They are all known for their prosperity and windfall. It is the secret method of poverty alleviation.
And what I saw at the time was that Liu Yan's entire luck was being sucked away, and when this luck was exhausted, it would affect the lifeblood of the whole person, causing this person to be haunted by bad luck day by day, and over time, it would cause people to develop mental illness, which would lead to the shortening of this person's lifespan. And people who are lucky will also be in a happy mood, which is also the way to longevity.
The evil technique used by Zhang Ming should be the same as the Five Ghosts Fortune Technique, or a similar secret technique. Before, Zhang Ming said that he would win every gamble, but his face was full of black energy, it was obvious that Liu Yan's luck was not all on him, it was very likely that Liu Yan's luck was only given to Zhang Ming, and the rest was sucked away by the woman in white.
I couldn't help but shudder when I thought of this, if my expectations were right, then what kind of thing is this female ghost in white, how can she suck anything......
