Chapter 1004 Looking for Bao Gong
According to Xue Qian's psychology of watching the excitement, I thought he would be very happy, and asked me happily what this excitement was. But this time Xue Qian was very cautious, and he frowned and asked, "Old Zhao." What is your purpose? ”
I was stunned for a moment and said, "What purpose can I have?" ”
Xue Qian said: "Why do I always think you have bad intentions? Invite me to watch the excitement, maybe it's trying to trick me. ”
I laughed and said, "When did you become so suspicious?" ”
Xue Qian sighed and said, "No way, it's too long to stay with Mr. Lu." Consciously or unconsciously, I practiced it. ”
The two of us were joking. From afar, Mr. Lu came over.
It's still summer, and the temperature is still high at noon. Mr. Lu walked over quickly, and a layer of fine sweat broke out on his head. He asked, "Zhao Mang?" Where have you been? Look everywhere and you won't find it. ”
I said, "I saw something rare last night. I went to verify it just now. ”
Mr. Lu blurted out and asked, "What the hell again?" ”
I thought to myself, "What's that about?" Why is it that when I encounter rare things, I am a hell? But if you think about it, Mr. Lu's speculation is not wrong.
I nodded a little helplessly. said, "Yes." Hell indeed. ”
Xue Qian smiled: "Who did you see this time?" ”
I laughed dryly twice and pointed behind me, "Old man Wang." ”
Xue Qian and Mr. Lu suddenly realized: "It turned out to be him." ”
Looking at the appearance of the two of them, it seems that they have long known that Old Man Wang is dead. It's no wonder that I had a big problem with my soul two days ago, but Xue Qian and Mr. Lu moved freely. Old man Wang's funeral movement was not small. As neighbors, it is impossible for them not to know. Hugh liver to ba.
Xue Qian said suspiciously: "This is strange. Old man Wang is usually smiling and kind, even if he is a ghost, it shouldn't be so bad. How can it haunt you? ”
I said, "Not dwelling. It's just that Old Man Wang wants to go to the Judge's Temple to watch a play at night, and he is worried that he can't find his way. So I gave him a ride. ”
Xue Qian suddenly realized: "So that's what happened. You are his neighbor. And he's a ghost, and only you can see the hell around. He's going to ask you for help, and it's reasonable. But...... Is that the rare thing you're going to say? ”
I smiled and said, "The weirdness is still to come." When on the road. Old man Wang asked me why I didn't attend his birthday banquet. said that when he celebrated his birthday two days ago, it was very lively, but I was missing, which is a bit of a pity. ”
Xue Qian said, "That's not right. I remember him as if it was winter's birthday. On that day, we went to pay homage to my birthday, and the son of the old man Wang was reluctant to burn the heating and choked me cold. ”
I laughed and said, "yes, I remember it was winter, too." Later, I pondered and found out that Old Man Wang regarded his funeral as a birthday banquet. ”
Xue Qian sighed when she heard it: "Actually, it's okay like this." It's rare to be confused, and it's over happily. ”
I also said with emotion: "Yes." He thought that the mourners had come to pay homage to his birthday, and he was very happy. ”
Xue Qian blinked her eyes and said, "Did something happen again?" I always feel like you have something to say. ”
I said, "Later, I sent Old Man Wang to the temple fair. At the temple fair, there is a stage singing night play. The accompanist has already slept, and only one is left to play Bao Gong. Squeaky sang for half the night. I was so dazed that I was about to fall asleep. Out came a ghost. This unjust ghost knelt on the stage and wanted to sue. ”
Xue Qian's eyes widened: "There is still such a thing?" This little ghost is even more confused than Old Man Wang, which is a strange anecdote. ”
I laughed, "Isn't it?" scared the actor on the spot. ”
Xue Qian asked, "What happened later?" How did things work out? ”
I said, "I was going to take a knife and drive the demons away. But Old Man Wang took the initiative to go up. He felt that the ghost had delayed his viewing of the play, and drove the ghost away. ”
Mr. Lu understood my thoughts, and he smiled at me, "Do you want to visit the singer?" ”
I nodded and asked, "Have you eaten?" ”
Both of them said they had eaten it. I pointed in the direction of the Judge's Temple and said, "Then let's go." ”
On the way, Mr. Lu instructed me to practice Taoism diligently. I'm different now than I used to be. In the past, I fished for three days and dried my nets for two days, so it didn't matter how bad my Taoism was. But now there are two dragons in the body. If the Dao technique is not enough to suppress them, something will happen sooner or later.
Naturally, I happily agreed.
After a short time, we walked to the Temple of the Judges. The temple fair is still going on. Music was playing on loudspeakers, and vendors were hawking along the streets. Tourists are a lot of people.
I saw outside the greenhouse, the circus boys shouting and soliciting customers, the owner of the haunted house wearing masks greeting passers-by, and the girls of the song and dance troupe wearing scantily clad clothes and sultry postures. The Judge's Temple was drowned in these bustles and completely turned into a foil.
Xue Qian walked around and asked Mr. Lu: "Is the stone statue in the Judge Temple a judge?" ”
Mr. Lu smiled: "It's not like you haven't seen people in the underworld. Where did the judge come from? ”
Xue Qian said: "I mean, did the person who carved this stone statue want to carve it into a judge in folklore? Or is this stone statue someone else, and it was misunderstood by the Huaicheng people. ”
Mr. Lu shook his head: "I can't tell you this." It's too long, no one can figure it out. ”
We searched for the temple fair and came to the stage. Compared to other places, this stage can be regarded as deserted.
Most of the people who came to see the play were old people, and they sat quietly. Some bring their own benches, while others simply sit on bricks.
Mr. Lu asked, "Is the one who plays Bao Gong here?" ”
I grinned and said, "They have such a thick layer of powder on their faces that I won't recognize them even if they walk across from me." ”
Xue Qian said: "That guy sang in the middle of the night and was frightened, he must still be sleeping at this time." Let's go backstage and have a look. ”
The so-called backstage is nothing more than a makeshift hood. One by one, we lifted a small slit and looked inside.
If there is a girl sleeping inside, quickly slip away, and if it is a man who is asleep, shake him awake and interrogate him where the bag is.
It didn't take long, except for the few people who were performing on stage, the entire troupe knew that there were three thieves and rat-eyed people, who lifted the tents one by one, and didn't know what the idea was.
The troupe surrounded us, and a few men stood up, holding sticks in their hands, and it seemed that they were martial artists.
The three of us smiled and said with a dry smile: "We're looking for someone." ”
The head of the class was an old man, and he said with some dissatisfaction: "You can't lift the tent when you are looking for someone, do you understand the difference between men and women?" ”
Mr. Lu nodded hurriedly: "I'm in a hurry, I forgot about it." ”
The head of the class asked, "Who are you looking for?" ”
Mr. Lu said: "We are looking for someone to play Bao Gong. ”
The class leader smiled: "There are more of us who can play Bao Gong." Which one are you looking for? It's okay to name it, or it's okay to name it. ”
Xue Qian and Mr. Lu both looked at me. I waved my hand: "Isn't this a problem for me?" How could I recognize. ”
I thought about it for a moment and said, "It's the one who sang last night." ”
When I said this, everyone's faces changed. The head of the class waved his hand and said, "No one watches the play during the day, and it is even more impossible to sing at night." Let's go, we don't have this man here. ”
Last night, the troupe did rest. There was only one Bao Gong on the table. But he squeaked and sang, and these people could not have heard it.
I said, "Don't fool me, I saw with my own eyes, he sang on stage." ”
The class leader smiled: "You saw it?" Who did you see singing? Point him out. ”
I scratched my head and said, "We have no ill intentions, so why are you deliberately making things difficult for us?" ”
Mr. Lu walked up to the head of the troupe and whispered: "I know why you don't tell the truth, someone has bumped into a ghost, after all, it is an unfortunate thing, are you worried about ruining the reputation of the troupe?" Rest assured, we are here to solve your problems. ”
Then, he pulled out the corner of the yellow talisman in his arms, and said with a smile: "I am a Taoist priest." My apprentice saw this last night, and when he saw that the road was uneven, he drew his sword to help, so we wanted to take care of it. ”
The head of the class immediately changed his face and said, "I see. Offended, offended. ”
