Conjuring spirits is not a difficult task for Mr. Lu, and it is a basic skill for a genuine Taoist priest who has worshipped his teacher - but I don't know this.

I said to Mr. Lu, "Do you want to teach me?" ”

Mr. Lu smiled at me: "Zhao Mang." You are the one who wants to do big things, and there is no need to learn these small things. ”

Xue Qian said beside her: "If you don't sweep a house, why sweep the world?" ”

Mr. Lu laughed and scolded: "Don't play tricks on me. People have limited energy in this life, how can they be comprehensive and be perfect. ”

We hid inside the house all afternoon. There was incense outside, and the smell reminded me of death, and I was a little scared.

To tell you the truth, I'm not afraid of imps right now, but I'm very afraid of death. The former can be reasonable, the latter is an irresistible law of nature.

When the evening came, all the mourners were gone, and there were only a few young people left, sitting around a table and playing poker in the courtyard, which was considered to be a wake-up for the black hole.

One of the young men said: "Black Hole has been gambling for most of its life. His favorite things are sickles, hammers, and red flags. I see, let's stop playing poker today, let's play boxing. It's a good way to honor him. ”

Another young man said, "Don't think like that, the black hole is a gambling addict, and when you hear us punching outside, you might be itchy and jump out of the coffin." ”

The young man laughed and said, "Wouldn't that be better?" The dead become the living, and the mourning becomes a happy event. ”

The young man opposite him smiled: "I'm afraid that if you are a half-dead person, it will scare you to death." ”

At this time, a slightly older person at the poker table said: "The old lady hates gambling the most in her life, and you are here to make a fist, aren't you trying to block her?" ”

The rest of the young people nodded yes.

Mr. Lu walked over. said: "Several, you'd better avoid it. ”

The young people all tilted their heads to look at Mr. Lu: "Who are you?" Why let us shy away? ”

At this time, the old lady came out of the house, and she said, "This is the Taoist priest I have invited, and he wants to summon the spirit of my son." Do what he commands. ”

The young men shouted, "Second aunt." Don't trust these charlatans, how can they summon spirits? ”

Mr. Lu didn't refute either, and said with a smile: "Whether you can summon spirits or not, you'll know if you try it." You'd better avoid it, lest the yang energy on your body be too heavy and the little ghost won't dare to show up. ”

The young men said, "Then let's stay away." Otherwise, this liar can't recruit a little ghost, and it should be said that we are influencing him. ”

The young man pushed into the corner and looked at the three of us as if he was looking at the excitement.

Mr. Lu set up the table in the mourning shed a little. Then he pulled out a yellow talisman. Lit on a candle.

There was nothing brilliant about these movements, and the young man not far away sneered and pointed quietly.

After Mr. Lu's spell was burned, more than a dozen whirlwinds appeared out of thin air in the courtyard, and these whirlwinds seemed to have spiritual wisdom, circling around the spirit shed endlessly.

When the young people saw this scene, they were already stunned, and they shrank in the corners of the wall, huddled together, and no one dared to laugh at Mr. Lu.

Mr. Lu looked at the old lady and said, "Get me some of his personal things." ”

The old lady agreed, and then took out a piece of clothing.

Mr. Lu dipped his hand in the incense ash on the table, soaked it in the wine cup, and drew a charm on the meaning. Then he pinched the dress and slowly walked towards the whirlwind.

Mr. Lu walked along. He said, "The talisman I burned just now is a ghost talisman. The little ghosts in the neighborhood are all going to be detained by me and obey the orders. Now, I'm going to tell who the black hole is. ”

Mr. Lu walked around with his clothes, and all the whirlwinds dodged, and none of them were attached to his clothes.

Mr. Lu sighed: "Aren't there black holes in these little ghosts?" ”

He looked at me and said, "You can identify me." ”

I suppressed my breath and hid my anger. Then I saw the whirlwinds turn into lonely ghosts floating in the air.

They are either pale, or have yellow muscles, or have sunken eye sockets, or are mutilated. In short, their appearance is terrifying.

I looked around, and there were no black holes among them. Estimate to him.

I shook my head at Mr. Lu.

Mr. Lu looked puzzled, and he waved his hand to let the whirlwinds go.

The young man who was originally shocked became alive again, and they asked, "Old Dao, how is it?" Has the soul of the black hole been found? ”

Mr. Lu ignored these idlers, he frowned and thought for a while, and said, "Isn't his soul here?" Gone elsewhere? ”

The old lady walked up to Mr. Lu tremblingly and asked a little pitifully, "What?" Is his soul dead too? ”

Mr. Lu said: "I have a way to know where the soul of the black hole has gone after it dies. As long as he didn't lose his soul on the spot, he could find out the clues. ”

The old lady asked, "How?" ”

Mr. Lu pointed to the young man in the corner of the wall and said, "You go buy a white paper lantern and come back." ”

Those young people didn't want to listen to Mr. Lu's dispatch at all, but with an elder like the old lady here, they couldn't help but go. So they complained twice, and they went to buy lanterns in droves.

Mr. Lu looked at the spiritual bed again and said, "We need your son's shroud." ”

The old lady hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

Mr. Lu stepped forward and took off the dead man's shirt, and when he did this, his expression was calm and natural, as if he had never felt the horror of the corpse.

After Mr. Lu got the shroud, he smiled at me.

I had a hint of foreboding, and I immediately said, "Don't look for me, I'm not going to do it." ”

Mr. Lu handed me the shroud and said, "No one else can do it." This kind of thing can only be done by Taoist priests, and you have seen black holes before. He is the soul, you are a living person, yin and yang are separated, you can't see each other, but you know each other, this is fate, relying on this cause and effect, you can find him. ”

Mr. Lu coaxed and deceived me, and finally put his clothes on me. Then he asked for the black hole's birth date and wrote it on the back of his clothes.

Every time Mr. Lu writes a word, I feel that my clothes are a little heavier. When he finally finished writing, I felt like I had someone on my back.

I tried to turn my head and look back, but there was nothing behind me.

Mr. Lu smiled and said, "Don't worry, we will follow you in a while." ”

I muttered, "It's a big night, I'm wearing the clothes I just pulled from the dead man, what's going on?" ”

At this time, the group of young men came back with a paper lantern. They were shocked when they saw me standing in the courtyard wearing a shroud, but fortunately, thanks to the large number of people and my young age, they still walked in.

They handed the lantern to Mr. Lu and asked; "What are you doing here? Why wear dead man's clothes? ”

Mr. Lu said, "We are going to find the soul of the black hole, do you want to come and take a look?" ”

The young people said, "It's good to take a look, lest you deceive the second aunt." ”

Mr. Lu smiled, handed the lantern to me, and said, "Zhao Mang, you restrain the anger on your body. If you see the lantern lit, relax and let your body go as it pleases. ”

I looked at the lantern in my hand, and there was a candle in it, but the candle was not lit. I thought to myself, "Can this candle burn on its own?" ”

I suppressed my breath, and after a while, I noticed that the lantern was glowing faintly. And this world is also very different from just now.

Only then did I realize that it was not the candle that burned, but that my eyes had changed, and I saw things that normal people could not see.

Mr. Lu whispered in my ear, "You are a black hole now. Let's go, where we need to go, where we need to go. ”

I followed the sound and found that it was dark behind me, and I couldn't see Mr. Lu's shadow at all.

I shook the lantern, and it illuminated a path. The road was like white satin, paved in the night, all the way into the distance
