Chapter 20: Tang Qian
By the time I opened my eyes, it was already dawn, and it was as if nothing had happened. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć I looked at my hands in confusion and said to myself, "Am I dead or alive?" As I spoke, I touched my chest with my hand again, and it was clear that the chest that was pierced by Hu Fang with my hand last night was not damaged at the moment, except for the damage to my clothes. I looked up in confusion and saw that there seemed to be a missing star from the originally connected star pattern on my chest.
Just when I was puzzled, a strong son's voice came from the side: "Where is this?" My head hurts...... "I followed the sound and saw everyone lying on the side, only me and Qiangzi woke up. When Qiangzi saw that I was awake, he asked, "What happened last night?" How did I end up here? I was about to answer, when another voice next to me preempted me and said, "You were possessed by a demon last night." Li Zhisheng said and stood up from the ground.
After last night's incident, Qiangzi didn't dare to disbelieve it now, but he didn't dare to believe it all, just sat on the ground scratching his ears and cheeks and remembered. Li Zhisheng ignored Qiangzi and came over and asked, "Is there anything wrong?" ......I was about to answer, when someone suddenly pressed me down, and I coughed repeatedly. Hu Fang heard the cough and hurriedly straightened up from me. I noticed that there were tears in her eyes, and I smiled and said to her, "Why, you think I'm dead?" She slapped me the chest, "It's good to be dead, you know to make fun of me." With that, he turned around to check Tang Gan's condition.
Li Zhisheng stared at the hole in my chest from the side, I noticed something unusual, so I got up and said, "One is missing, isn't it..." Could it be that it saved your life yesterday? I pondered for a moment and said, "Yesterday the little girl told me that the fish is the fish, and the seal is the seal. And let me sprinkle the blood of the fish here to save everyone. As I spoke, I looked around again, and there was no blood. Could it be that this thing on your chest is a mackerel, and what you have in your hand is a seal? But as far as I know, the ray is only one of the nine stars in the celestial phenomenon, and you, the one that has disappeared, already has nine stars, how can you call it a fish? Li Zhisheng muttered to himself puzzled.
I couldn't think of a reason for it, but everyone had already woken up. Except for some abrasions on Qiangzi's face, Tang Gan slept outside for a night and caught a cold, no one had anything unusual. And the school gate that disappeared last night has also appeared in front of everyone's eyes. Li Zhisheng said to me again: "It seems that this ghost mound seems to have been broken, otherwise we would never have survived until now." I'll go back and look for information now, and you can go back and get some rest. I nodded yes, and then asked the others to go home and rest first, and then meet me at dinner time and invite everyone to dinner.
As soon as I got home, I took out the parchment book, which recorded everything that had happened last night. Unexpectedly, this moment made the mark on his hand fade by more than half. Presumably, this should be like what Li Zhisheng said, so the more ghosts are sealed at one time, the more this thing will fade. But you have to experience it realistically, and that's the most troublesome thing.
Then I thought of the strange little girl, "Did she lead me there just to break this ghost mound?" But why yesterday? Why on earth did I see her, could it be that I had awakened in vain? Thinking of this, I hurriedly flipped out the booklet that Yin Li had left me before.
Although there is almost no record of the box on it, it is very detailed about the void. After looking for a while, I saw a small section in it that said: Only by dyeing the mahogany with the blood of the mother chick can it lead to vanity, not permanence. The general meaning seems to be that dyeing mahogany with hen's blood can induce vanity, but it is not always there, only temporary. "Looks like I got that doll right." Zheng was smug and thought for a moment, "No, I've seen her before." How can this be explained? After thinking about it for a long time, I couldn't come up with a reason, so I had to wait until I saw Li Zhisheng in the evening and asked him.
After lunch, I took a shower and took a nap. I slept very soundly from noon to after 5 p.m., I got up, washed my face and went straight to the restaurant.
When I got to the restaurant, I saw that they had already arrived. As soon as I entered, they stared at me like a flock of chirping birds in a bird's nest seeing their parents who had gone out foraging for food. I swallowed, reached out and touched my wallet again, and thought to myself, I am going to be slaughtered this time.
Although I thought so in my heart, I still had a smile on my face. I walked over and saw that there was one person missing, so I asked, "Why didn't Tang Qian come?" Hu Fang shook his head helplessly and said, "That eldest prince said that he was going to the bar to make a girl." I smiled and said, "Since he has other arrangements, let him be." As he spoke, he asked the waiter to order.
Qiangzi alone ordered five or six dishes, not to mention Hu Fang, she would not be polite. In the end, I simply stopped looking at them and told Li Zhisheng the questions I had at home. After hearing this, he smiled and said, "I guess the little girl you saw has nothing to do with your puppet, because ghosts, if it wants you to see you, it will naturally be able to see it." I sighed and said, "Looks like I'm being sentimental again." He waved his hand and said, "You can't say that, haven't you seen another ghost?" Maybe it's because of the puppet you made. Oh, by the way......" He paused and continued, "I went to check some information about the onizuka, and this check may have found out something. ā
As soon as I heard him say something, his face immediately became gloomy and he said, "What......'s the matter?" and he straightened up, took out a somewhat torn book from behind him, handed it to me, and said to me, "There are a lot of things about ghosts and monsters on it, which I found in a second-hand bookstore." ā
I took the book and looked at it, there were a few scribbled words on it, "The Divine Sutra", and I asked curiously: "What kind of book is this, I have never seen it." He pointed to the back of the book and said, "You may not have heard of this book, but you should not have heard of the author of this book." Hearing him say this, I turned the book upside down in curiosity. There were three words written on the back, "Zhang Manqian", I frowned and said: "I really haven't heard of this person, what is the origin, you just say it." ā
Li Zhisheng shook his head and said, "This person's real name is Zhang Zi Manqian, and there are some names named Dongfang Manqian. But now people know more about his other name, Dongfang Shuo. He is a writer of the Western Han Dynasty, but this is known to everyone, and what everyone does not know is that he is very proficient in astrological divination, strange ghosts and gods. Although this book is only a novel about ghosts on the surface, it is a historical record of many ghosts and ghosts when combined with strange arts. People nowadays know very little about this book, so it's no surprise that you don't. ā
I flipped back and forth through the pages of the book, and it was full of ancient texts. I can't even fully recognize some of the words, let alone understand them. I returned the book to Li Zhisheng and said, "Even if this book is like a wordless book in my hand, I can't see anything at all." You'd better just tell me. ā
Qiangzi and Hu Fang on the side were chatting about what to eat, and they didn't take it to heart at all when I talked to Li Zhisheng. Li Zhisheng took the book and said: "It's not surprising that you can't understand it, in short, it means that there must be nine in this ghost mound, and what is related to it is the nine-star celestial phenomenon." Some people want to borrow these nine mounds to completely open the gates of the underworld, and then release those unjust ghosts and ghosts to harm the world. Yesterday it was one of them, so it was sealed by the nine stars on your chest. ā
I frowned and said, "So I'll have to be busy in the future?" Li Zhisheng put the "Divine Sutra" into the bag behind him and said: "It's up to you whether this goes or not, in short, that's a matter for the future." Now, I'm going to see what to eat too. As he spoke, he snatched the menu from Qiangzi's hand and looked at it. Qiangzi muttered on the side: "I haven't finished ordering it yet, do you want the popping chicken steak or not~"
After a while, the three waiters took turns to serve the dishes, and the plates were stacked two or three layers. Hu Fang and Qiangzi ate before the dishes were ready, and Li Zhisheng and I covered our eyes while watching.
After the food was served, the waiter said that he would give a bottle of red wine because he had consumed 3,000 yuan. I thought I had misheard, so I asked the waiter again, "Wait a minute, you ...... How much did you just say? The waiter smiled and said, "Hello sir, spend 3,000"
I wiped the sweat from my forehead and smiled bitterly and said to the waiter, "Okay, okay, I know, let's put the wine there." Looking at Qiangzi and Hu Fang, who were gobbling up on the side, it was estimated that it would be a little difficult to return the dishes at this time, thinking that since they had ordered everything, they would eat it.
I opened the wine, poured a glass for everyone, raised the glass and said, "Celebrate the Great Disaster!" The crowd echoed in unison. The glasses clinked together with a crisp sound.
The wine has passed three rounds, and the dishes have passed five flavors. Everyone ate until they were about to vomit. One by one, he collapsed in his chair, and Hadron squinted at the TV hanging on the wall and said, "It's been a long time since I've eaten so well." Hu Fang was already speechless, she half-leaned back in the chair and stretched out her hand and gave a thumbs up.
After resting for more than half an hour, everyone recovered, and Hu Fang said, "It's almost, let's go out for a walk." I nodded and got up to go to checkout.
At this moment, a news broadcast on TV caught my attention: "This city found a tragic death of a male corpse surnamed Tang in the back alley this evening, and it was preliminarily determined to be a suicide, and then the on-site reporter will bring you a live report......" At this moment, I saw a photo of Tang Qian hanging in the lower left corner of the news.
The others present also saw this amazing scene, and I turned my head to look at Hu Fang. I saw that her eyes were already wide in surprise, and she pointed to the TV with her mouth open. It seems to want to speak, but it is stuck in the throat and can't speak.
I asked Hu Fang to call Tang Qian quickly and confirm. When she heard me say this, she hurriedly pulled out her phone. After a while, the phone rang, and the phone rang on the TV at the same time.
It seemed that it was indeed Tang Qian, but Hu Fang looked frightened and held the phone to my ear with a trembling hand. At this moment, I heard Tang Gan's voice on the phone: "Hey? Sister? What's wrong? "But the phone on the TV kept ringing......
