Chapter 7: Meet the Hanged Man
The next day happened to be a Sunday when there was no need for class, and Zhigao came to the temple again.
This time, Master Zhang seemed to know that Zhigao would come, and had been waiting at the door for a long time.
This time, he was still sitting in the upper seat, and the hospitable master was full of enthusiasm for Chigo's revisit, holding the teapot in both hands and pouring two bowls.
Zhigao got up and took a bowl of tea from the master with both hands:
"Thank you"
"Come, come...... Sit down ......"
The master did not drink it immediately after pouring the tea, but took the tea and respectfully worshiped the Buddha statues of the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother.
The master then spoke:
"Well, do you see clearly that it's a ghost?"
Chigo nodded:
"I saw it, I saw it, it's a female ghost ......"
The master pinched his fingers, looked at the roof beam at a 45-degree angle, and said, "Jin...... Wood...... Water...... Fire...... Dirt ......"
Then he called Zhigao 1510 and told the master according to the original.
At this time, Jiaming on the other side was still asleep in bed and had not woken up, but Mengran in the necklace kept arguing:
"Get up, the sun is on your buttocks."
"I don't have classes today and Sunday, why do you get up so early?" Stretched, turned around and continued to sleep.
"You're the only one left in the whole dormitory, everyone is gone, and everyone is going to pursue their own good life."
"Oh, they pursue a good life, and I am also pursuing, isn't a good life just sleeping?"
Seeing that Jiaming was impatient, Mengran opened his mouth and began to sing.
"Ah...... Damn, stop singing, it's hard to hear. ”
Jiaming saw that there was no way to take Mengran, so he could only obey her.
The gas in his stomach made Jiaming only need a few minutes, but it took more than an hour to wash up.
"Can you hurry up, let's go for a walk in the streets."
Seeing that Jiaming was not in a hurry, Meng Ran began to nag again.
A good day just doesn't want to waste in this monotonous dormitory, because Mengran had strict requirements for life and rest before her death, even if she doesn't go to class, she wants to go outside and walk around, and she hasn't gone shopping since she was killed.
Jiaming walked on the street helplessly, as if he had lost his soul, but Mengran in the necklace was excited, commanding to go here for a while, and saying that the clothes were beautiful.
In fact, it is the nature of women to love shopping and like beautiful clothes, but Jiaming, who went shopping for a day, suffered a crime, and could have slept well in bed for a day, but a beautiful day was ruined by Mengran.
Exhausted, Jiaming never left again, and sat down on the glass-side steps in front of a clothing store, with a long sigh:
"Hey...... Both legs were about to break, and I was exhausted. ”
With both hands clenched into fists, he banged on his calves and kept complaining.
Just now, Mengran has been like a bee, buzzing and noisy, but now it is silent.
Jiaming was very strange, picked up the necklace from his neck, and looked down.
It turned out that Meng Ran had been staring at the model behind him through the glass, the model's figure was similar to Meng Ran, wearing a simple and elegant dress, the layers of yarn hung down to the calves, and the layers of dyed white lined the white legs exuding a mysterious and bright light.
The intent-watching eyes never moved away from the clothes on the model's body, and it was clear that Mengran longed for the clothes that he didn't like ordinarily.
Holding on to the steps, he turned around and stood up towards the model and said to Mengran:
"Do you like this set?"
"I had a dream before I was alive, that is, to have a romantic date with the person I love in such beautiful clothes......" Mengran said as he sobbed.
Jia Ming was at a loss for what to do at this time.
I felt sorry for Mengran's dream, and thought that the dress must look good on her.
Neither of them spoke on the way back, and Jiaming tried to ease the atmosphere.
I saw a man next to him holding a purse under his armpit, and a bundle of change in his hand sat in front of two bags of red dates and counted them back and forth.
"How do you sell these red dates?"
Jiaming asked the man as he chosen.
"Ten yuan a catty, big and sweet."
Hearing ten yuan a catty, he was surprised and shouted at the man again, "It's too expensive, can it be cheaper?" ”
The man smiled and took a red date and put it in his mouth:
"Do you buy more, two catties and fifteen, the more the cheaper."
In fact, Jiaming didn't like the red dates, but he excitedly said to the man:
"Big brother filled me with ...... Feign...... Continue to load ......"
When he saw that he could no longer load it, Jiaming kept calling to continue loading.
The man curled his tongue angrily: "What are you doing, little brother, how much do you have to pretend?"
Jiaming pointed to the red dates and said to the man:
"Fill it up with me until it's free"
Manly roared at Jiaming: "Get out of ......"
This trick really worked, Meng Ran saw the man selling red dates, and his face was uplifted by Jia Ming's anger, and he couldn't help laughing out loud:
"Haha...... Why are you so bad-hearted......"
"What's bad, is it because he said that the more you buy, the cheaper......"
At this time, it is getting late, and the people who come and go are rushing home to relieve the fatigue of the day.
And the master on the other side, after listening to Zhigao's narration for a day, learned that the female ghost was in Jiaming's necklace:
"Man and ghost can't be together,"
"Why?"
Zhigao thought that the female ghost would help Jiaming win the competition, and he was curious about the master's words.
"Ghosts, also known as undead, the soul left behind by human death, has yang energy in the body before death, and the yang energy disappears after death, in order to reincarnate the soul, the yang energy in the body disappears and becomes yin, and will absorb the person's yang energy to replenish their mana, and delay finding a suitable time for reincarnation"
Hearing Master Zhang's explanation, Zhigao had goosebumps all over his body, was dumbfounded, nervous and sweaty, and his heart was "pounced on the winter, pounced on the winter", the ground jumped, and shrunk aside.
"That'...... What should I do if I encounter a ghost? ”
"Everything grows in nature, yin and yang are interlocked, if you encounter a ghost, you don't have to be afraid, because when the ghost sucks yang energy, it is not a once-to-two time, it is slowly eaten,"
Master Zhang seems to be very familiar with ghosts, and tells Zhigao very seriously and patiently.
At the time of parting, the master took out a string of Buddhist beads from his robe and handed it to Zhigao:
"You wear it on your hand, this is the amulet I carry with me and hand it over to you now, no matter how powerful the ghost is, it will take a detour when it sees it, and the copper coin given to you last time can also make the ghost hold his head and be judged"
Zhigao was very excited and thanked the master again and again.
When I left Master Zhang, it was already dark,
Except for the gentle breeze blowing, walking alone on the gloomy path, there is nothing but silence around me, as if the cold air has blocked the light. It was dark and heavy, as if the boundless thick ink was smeared heavily on the sky.
Zhigao quickened his pace and couldn't wait to fly to school immediately.
Just when I felt a chill in my heart, when I passed through a bamboo forest, I heard a rustling sound, and I thought it should be the sound of bamboo leaves blown by the wind.
Zhigao put the Buddhist beads given to him by the master on his wrist, and his heart was still terrified, and the rustling sound was still there, not like the wind blowing.
Fear and sound made it seem as if everything around me was going to swallow me, and I was confronted with endless winding paths, and even what seemed warm now seemed to have become a devil.
Zhigao was so frightened that he didn't even dare to come out of the atmosphere, his heart was pounding, as if there was a little rabbit jumping around in his heart, and he always felt that there was a disaster flying in the sky like a bird, which could hit my head at any time.
Sure enough, what should have happened happened, and under a camphor tree not far from him, he saw a bowl full of rice, an egg standing on the rice, and a candle left after burning next to it.
Zhigao, who was frightened, was frightened, and when he saw the creepy scene in front of him, he thought uneasily, isn't this an offering to the dead, I have heard before, and it is placed under a tree like this to enshrine the hanged ghost here.
If you are unfortunate enough to encounter a hanged ghost, you will definitely have a serious illness the next day, and the doctor who goes to the hospital will not be able to explain clearly, if the hanged ghost is hit, someone or family member will die within three days.
The rustling sound just now must have been made by the hanged ghost, and Zhigao glanced around, his eyes not letting go of any wind and grass, because he was afraid of being hit by the hanged ghost.
Quick-witted, he kept clutching the copper coin in his right hand, thinking that he must not let it hit.
Just as he was about to move forward with his slow steps, he suddenly saw a hemp rope dangling from the branches of the camphor tree.
Chigao's teeth were clenched, and her wide pupils were full of terror, which made her tremble and tremble like chaff, but there was no cowardice on her face, but she looked around the tree for the hanged ghost.
At this time, the copper coin began to vibrate in his hand, and Zhigao knew that the hanged ghost was getting closer and closer to him.
Suddenly, a rustling sound came from behind, and the one who could sense that it was already close was behind him, and Zhigao squatted down on the ground and rolled forward, rolling on the ground at three hundred and sixty degrees, fortunately avoiding the hanged ghost.
I saw a long red robe, with a disheveled head, black eyes, blood from the corners of his eyes, flowing down the pale and colorless face to his mouth, purple lips revealing a long tongue, which did not look sexy at all, and a piece of hemp rope was tied around his long neck.
Zhigao took out the copper coin and put it in his palm, and after reciting the incantation, he saw that the copper coin emitted a white light and shot directly at the hanged ghost.
Under the powerful light of the copper coin, the hanged man blocked it with two hands, and his nails were sharp and long, and he could see that it was very painful.
Zhigao did not hesitate, quickly took the Buddha beads off his wrist, and threw them at the hanging ghost from a few meters away, and the Buddha beads suddenly sparked on the hanging ghost's body, and there was an open flame burning on his sleeve.
After the hanged ghost knew how powerful Zhigao was, he first retreated about a dozen steps, and pulled his tongue directly longer, extinguishing the fire on his sleeve, and then rose to a few meters and flew in the direction of Zhigao.
Zhigao saw the hanged ghost flying towards him, and when he didn't think about what to do next, he dodged, and after a few desperate pursuits, the hanged ghost stretched out his long tongue and aimed at Zhigao.
"Come on, let you know how good I ......"
Chigo first sat cross-legged, chanting a mantra in his mouth, and then flicked the copper coin into the air with his thumb and forefinger, his hands clasped together.
Under the effect of the spell, the copper coin emitted five white lights, and shot at the hanged ghost, and the white light penetrated the body of the hanged ghost, and just shone on the Buddha beads on the ground.
The Buddha bead was awakened by the light of the copper coin, and a huge blue ball was emitted, which exploded at the hanged ghost.
"Click" heard the branch tied with hemp rope on the camphor tree fall, and the egg on the rice rolled on the grass, and when he looked at the hanged ghost again, it had disappeared......
