Chapter 25: Going to the Shadows
There was nothing to say all the way for the rest of the way, accompanied by the whining sound of the train, Zhang Guan got off the train, and as soon as he landed, a woman with heavy makeup came up and said with a smile: "Little brother, do you want to stay in the hotel?" ”
Zhang Guan shook his head unchanged, and was about to leave after bypassing the woman. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The woman hurriedly grabbed Zhang Guan and said secretly, "There is a tender girl." ”
Zhang Guan said coldly: "Let's solve the old people and children behind you first, and then come out to do business." ”
When the woman heard this, her face changed, and after she reacted, she caught up with Zhang Guan and said, "Little brother, what do you say, don't scare people in broad daylight." ”
Zhang Guan threw down a sentence without replying: "The old man said he was very hungry, and the child said that he was just disabled, why did he want to kill him." ”
When she heard this, the woman's outstretched hand fell weakly, and her face was like death, and she sat down on the ground.
After a lot of setbacks, Zhang Guan finally rushed to Changxi Village before dark, standing at the head of the village, the village has a panoramic view, such a backward appearance is a bit like the countryside in the nineties, I don't know how the old Taoist knew the person called Laizi here.
Zhang Guan stopped a man with a hoe and asked, "Hello, I want to ask, where does Laizi live?" ”
The man looked rough, and when he heard Zhang Guan's words, he smiled and said, "You also came to tell the fortune of Uncle Lai, he lives in the first house in the east of the village." ”
Zhang Guan nodded, thanked him, and rushed to Laizi's house.
As soon as I arrived at the east end of the village, I saw an old man dressed in gray linen clothes with a cloth on his head sitting in front of the house, holding a long pipe, and a big black tobacco pouch hanging under the pipe, smoking it a lot.
It seems that this person is the laizi of the old way, Zhang Guan stepped forward, and suddenly, a big black dog with a whole black body rushed out of the corner, and rushed straight to Zhang Guan, so frightened that Zhang Guan jumped back.
The old man waved the cigarette stick and said softly, "Sanwa, be quiet." The old man didn't speak loudly, a little hoarse, and some of the magic was that the menacing big black dog heard the old man's words, immediately stopped, obediently retreated into the corner, and bared his teeth at Zhang Guan, with a fierce look.
Zhang looked at the big black dog with palpitations and didn't dare to look at it anymore, calmed down and walked up to the old man, and asked, "Uncle, are you Laizi?" ”
"Young man, seeing that you are young, how can you be more lifeless than my old bones who have half stepped into the coffin?" The old man did not answer Zhang Guan, but looked at Zhang Guan with interest, and took another sip with his mouth.
The old man's words were ugly, but it seemed that this person was indeed Lai Zi, Zhang Guan smiled bitterly and handed over the token given by Lao Dao, and began to tell about his own affairs.
Seeing the jade pendant handed over by Zhang Guan, the old man had a strange face, and he didn't say anything, listening to Zhang Guan quietly.
Hearing this, the old man's face became cloudy, he put away his cigarette stick, and motioned for Zhang Guan to enter the house.
As soon as he entered the house, he smelled a strange smell, not smelly or fragrant, Zhang Guan had never smelled it.
Motioning for Zhang Guan to sit down, the old man asked, "Crazy Zhang asked you to come to me and give you a trip to the yin?" ”
Zhang Guan nodded, the crazy Zhang in the old man's mouth should be that old man.
The old man touched the sparse stubble, frowned, and seemed to be thinking about it, and after a long time, he slowly spoke: "Crazy Zhang is really crazy, child, are you really willing to take this risk?" ”
Zhang Guan asked with some doubts: "Is this yin very dangerous?" ”
The old man sighed lightly and said: "It seems that he didn't tell you in detail, according to my guess, this madman probably used your half-ghost body to go through the yin and fake his death, deceive the yin si, and do not enter the way of reincarnation, beyond the six realms, and naturally he will not be subject to the curse of hindrance." It's just that this matter of faking yin and faking death to deceive Yin Si is extremely dangerous, and once it is revealed, you will be dead. ”
Zhang Guan's face changed slightly, and after thinking for a while, he said with a flat face: "Anyway, I only have half of my life left, as long as I don't involve my family, it doesn't matter if I die." ”
The old man glanced at Zhang Guan with some surprise, and then said with a chuckle: "Do you believe me?" ”
"Faith."
"Okay."
"Give me your birthday." The old man prepared a large rooster, tied his feet, tied his mouth, and threw it aside, while holding a piece of yellow paper in his hand.
Although he didn't know the specific methods of the old man, since Zhang Guan chose to believe in the old man, there was no need to say much. Truthfully reported his birthday, and then the old man wrote something on the yellow paper with a slender brush, and what was written under the brush was bright red characters, I don't know if it was blood or cinnabar.
Then, the old man muttered something, took the yellow paper and put it on the fire to light it, and after the end was on fire, he threw it into a prepared white bowl next to it, and the yellow paper with Zhang Guan's birthday was burned into ashes and lay quietly in the bowl.
The old man poured some water into the bowl again, stirred it a few times, and then took the bowl and walked to the big rooster in the corner, the big rooster seemed to feel the crisis, its wings fluttered, but it could not move.
The old man used a small funnel and inserted the end into the mouth of the big rooster, and then began to pour the runic water in the bowl, and after a while the bowl was empty, and there was not a drop left.
Then, the old man picked up the sharp blade and wiped it neatly on the neck of the chicken, and the big only fluttered a few times and did not move.
The old man said expressionlessly: "Sprinkle this big rooster with some incense ash and cinnabar, and then bury it." With that, he went into the back room and prepared other things.
Zhang Guan didn't ask much, according to what the old man said, he buried the big in the yard after disposing of it.
After doing this, Zhang Guan waited for the old man in the main room, and not long after, the old man brought out another bowl, which was full of meat.
When Zhang Guan wanted to ask something, the old man approached, and Zhang Guan asked A pungent smell of corpses, vaguely recognizable, was from the meat in the bowl.
The old man said expressionlessly, "Eat this." ”
"I ......" Zhang Guan twitched the corners of his mouth, his face was ugly, and after exhaling heavily, he resolutely took the bowl in the old man's hand, tears in the corners of his eyes, and he had the tragic momentum of drinking poisonous wine for a long time.
After a while, Zhang Guan burst into tears, ate a bowl of rotten meat, and vomited the rotten meat, so he could only swallow it ruthlessly.
The old man nodded slightly, and said, "You are waiting here for Sanzhuang to carry the coffin over." I'm going to get something to eat for the. Zhang Guan nodded.
It didn't take long for several men to carry the dark coffin, laughing and walking into the old man's yard, Zhang Guan greeted him, and several men looked at Zhang Guan curiously, but they didn't speak, put down the coffin and left.
Zhang Guan looked at the coffin placed in the middle of the room, and began to be a little nervous in his heart, if the expectation was correct, the big rooster died on his behalf, and he ate rotten meat, and when he was lying in the coffin, under the cover of his own life, it was estimated that he would be able to deceive the Yin Si who came to charge the soul.
