Chapter 75: The Child with the Red Lantern
Today's child is so precocious that she knows this so quickly, and I said that she is indeed my girlfriend, but don't tell anyone else.
Children are usually very easy to coax, and gave him a few candies, and he promised me not to say it, but I saw that there seemed to be a yin spirit in his body, it couldn't be the one that was lost in the hotel before, right?
Just as I was curious, Gaqi ran away, and Simeng appeared behind me at this time.
"Fusheng, you saw it too, right?" Simeng put his arm around my neck.
I said, of course, why don't you deal with him?
Simeng hesitated: I don't know that guy's cultivation, if I can't deal with it, I have to ask you for help.
I said okay, take a few steps ahead, let Che Ling follow him, and we'll go back to the house and eat dumplings first.
After eating the dumplings, you have to go into the ancestral hall and bow down to the ancestors, just now we put the dumplings in front of them, let them enjoy them first, now I'm not kneeling?
Suddenly, I found an old woman absorbing some cigarettes, and I was startled: Who are you? Why is it in our ancestral hall?
"Of course I'm here, I've been here for years."
I thought this was our ancestor's relative, so I asked him, "Do you know my grandmother?"
"I don't know, my name is Huang Santai, I am your family's life-saving immortal, and your grandfather invited me back before."
Grandfather!? It turned out to be him, I guess he brought it back when he was a yin walker, the name of Huang Santai's grandmother, I have heard of it, it seems that it is indeed from some earth immortal, which can protect the water and soil of one side.
I asked her, "If that's the case, you'll have to help our family become quite prosperous, after all, we have offerings to you every year."
"Hehe, of course, but in your grandfather's time, it wasn't that simple, you know? At first, I was not your protector or your enemy, but because your grandfather's father did not worship me according to the traditional practice when he invited me over, and his strength could not control me, so for a while, I took some revenge on your family. ”
I was very surprised to hear it, and asked what was going on with this Huang San Grandma, and she said that about 100 years ago, my grandfather dedicated all his cultivation in order to protect this place, but I didn't take him at all, but kept putting it under a big tree in your backyard, since you are his grandson, you can go over and find the upper Sanqing charm, and you can break through again if you have the spell.
It turned out that my grandfather still had such a powerful thing left for me, and he seemed to be really good to me, so I chatted with Mrs. Huang a few more words, so I went outside the ancestral hall.
I went to dig under the poplar tree at the back of the house, and sure enough, I found a book there, but it was already covered with dust.
I blew away the dust on it and saw the words clearly, sure enough, it was the Sanqing charm, I remember that the master gave me the book "Folk Evil Suppression" at that time, which recorded the use of many charms, but those were too simple, and there was not much practical effect.
And all of the inside of this Sanqing Talisman are excellent talismans, figuratively saying that the sky is burned and the earth is destroyed, as well as Mount Tai pressing the top and thundering nine days are all very powerful single-attribute talismans.
If I casually learned one of these charms, it would already be a mess, and now I know the primary attribute charms such as the Fierce Fire Talisman, the Five Thunder Talisman or the Avalanche Talisman, and it seems that I need to practice more to go further.
Seeing that there was no one around, I immediately put away this Sanqing charm, now there are two books in my clothes, and I will work harder to read and study in the future, I left here and returned to the ancestral hall, and found that Huang Santai's grandmother was drinking, I went outside and brought some dumplings and wine in, so that Huang Santai's grandmother could eat enough, and it was also to repay her for her kindness to me.
I saw that when she ate, she didn't use her hands to absorb the nutrients of those foods with her mouth, and I saw a lot of smoke entering her mouth, and then she said that she was full, and she would have to offer more next time, I said that this Huang Santai's appetite is really big, no wonder my grandfather's father was not enough to worship her at that time, I remember that they should have been very poor at that time.
As the saying goes, it's easy to please God, but it's hard to believe in God, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to send this Huang Santai away when she comes.
I left the ancestral hall and returned to my room, and found that Simeng had fallen asleep, and I guess I was tired today, just when I was going to open the quilt to sleep, I suddenly heard the sound of tuk tuk knocking outside the window, and I was stunned, and immediately got out of bed to look out of the window, and found that it was Che Ling who came back.
"Did you find anything? Liu Qianting! "I called her name directly.
"I found that he walked into the inside of the old hotel, that place has four floors, it seems to have been abandoned for a long time, the name is Xinrong Hotel, in Dongsheng Town outside your Taiping."
Xinrong Hotel, there seems to be a news report that there was an accident there, and the entire hotel people died mysteriously overnight, but why did Gaqi go anywhere?
I put on a leather jacket and ran out of the room, hoping to find him at the Xinrong Hotel.
The Xinrong Hotel can be reached by taxi, and there is not much time, and I don't know if there will be an accident in this kind of place now, so I have to hurry up.
With the big beauty and ghost of Che Ling, things should be easier, I have always believed in her Taoism, and after going to the Qinglun Dungeon last time, with the ghost eyes and the thousand-year-old Tai Sui that the master gave me, I can now say that I am invincible.
So I might be able to these female ghosts, but now is really not the time to think about this, after all, there is still someone in danger and I may have to save him.
When the taxi driver passed by a road planted with willow trees, I saw a few happy children walking with lanterns, but at this time, the car spirit next to me said to me: I really want those lanterns? Can you buy one for me?
Originally, I thought she was just joking, but she was pulling my clothes and pouting her cherry lips and staring at me, and the movement of her little hand pulling my sleeve was like a child.
Sometimes I think how can Che Ling be like a little girl? How old they were, and they still pestered me to ask for some lanterns, but I couldn't go against her wishes, so I had to tell the taxi driver to stop, and then go to the nearby shop to see if there were any to buy.
I asked a few department stores, but found that there were no lanterns to buy at all, and what red lanterns to say, so I was a little curious, so I asked one of the clerks: How can there be no red lanterns to buy in this place, so how can there be a child passing by just now?
The clerk seemed to be confused by my question, and said, "There are no lanterns like that in this place, and I don't see any children passing by?"
What the? My hairs stand upside down, and when I think back to the appearance of those children, they are all wearing red belly pockets, like those dead babies?!
Depend on! No wonder, other people can't see those children, it turns out that they are not human?
Che Ling said: Then let's go and ask the children to get it!
I said, knowing that it was a dead baby, it was better for us not to touch them.
"It's okay, isn't it me? These imps are no match for me at all. ”
I knew that Che Ling would say that, and now that Simeng is gone, she can do whatever she likes.
I never thought that when we went to the place where we had just passed by and saw the children, we could no longer find any trace of them.
I said: Qianting, if you don't take it, forget it, right? No good! When I said the last few words, I deliberately accentuated my tone, hoping that she would know the seriousness of the matter.
Che Ling pursed her lips, moved her long eyelashes, the muscles on her face trembled, as if she was a little angry, she didn't speak, let me get out of the way, and when I left, I found that there was a shop selling coffins not far away.
Passing by here, we saw an old man in a black cotton coat walking out of it, and at that moment the old man and the night almost merged into one, and it was completely impossible to tell who was who.
Che Ling suddenly came behind me and pulled my clothes, why was she afraid of being like this? Could it be that this old man is more powerful than Che Ling?
I couldn't help but take a few steps back, and the old man came over with a swaying body and told me in a very quiet voice: I won't hurt you, but please don't hurt my child, okay?
His child, I looked at the ground, this old man has a projection, proof that he is a person, what did he mean by his child, I went to ask him, he said it was the child with the lantern just now.
It turned out to be them, and I said of course I wouldn't hurt them, but this car spirit next to me wants a red lantern, I don't know if you can give one to her?
The old man nodded and turned back to the coffin shop, then took out a paper lantern and burned it, and soon another lantern appeared in his hand, and the old man walked over with the lantern and wanted to hand it to the car spirit, but she actually pulled me back and shrank back.
I said, "Qianting, it's okay for you to take this lantern!"
She hesitated for a moment before slowly reaching out and taking the lantern.
I thanked the old man, but he said to me: You have a thousand years old in you, right? There is also the power of the ghost eye to protect the body, no wonder you dare to fall in love with a yin spirit.
I said yes, old man, why do you know?
"Of course I know, but there are some things you don't know, you know? This millennium Tai Sui has side effects! ”
Side effect? No way? What could that be?
The old man turned his head, shook his head as he walked into the coffin shop, and said, "That is, although it can give you magical powers, it will slowly erode your body, and one day you will only become its food."
What the? But the master didn't tell me that! Is he trying to trick me? I remember when he was making it in the living lab, he gave me this thousand-year-old food.
Why didn't I pay attention to this at the time? Oops this time. It's useless if I can be with Simeng or Che Ling, I may die in a few years, and now I haven't lifted the curse of the corpse bed to collect the soul, without the heart, the soul can easily leave the body, what's wrong with me? Why did so much bad luck bebecross me at once?!
Could it be because of the words on my forehead or the picture I've seen on the blackened face?
That oil painting is now located at Amada University of Fine Arts.
While I was pondering, the old man finally left a sentence: If you are eroded by the thousand-year-old Tai Sui in the future, you can come to me, but the premise is that you are still alive at that time, I know that you still have two curses on you, hehe, you can still live until now?
Saying that, the old man closed the door of the coffin shop, and I looked at the banner of this shop, which read: Chen Lu coffin shop.
Chen Lu? Is it the old man's name?
Hearing what he had just explained to me, I felt a little bit that the master had pitted me big enough to put me in such a terrible situation, would I really die soon?
Now I feel that why does the master want me to be some kind of big yin official, it turns out that he knows that I am dying, so by the way, let me join in this kind of work.
When I went to look for the taxi just now, I found that the driver had already driven away, who told me that I hadn't gone to find someone for so long, now it's late at night, and it's relatively remote here, no car enters here again, and the car spirit told me that I only walked over, although it was not very far, but it was still a little unsafe to walk at night.
I took out my mobile phone to illuminate the road in front of me very brightly, although my mobile phone is a copycat version, but the lighting function is very ideal, and it will not be damaged if it falls on the ground many times.
Che Ling had followed Jia Qi to the Xinrong Hotel just now, and I knew that he must be very familiar with this section of the road, and she led the way, and I think he will find a place soon.
There was a road here, and in the middle of the tree-wrapped, I saw an old hotel standing in the dead darkness of the night.
Che Ling said that this was it, I pushed open one of the doors, walked inside, and then said to Che Ling: Where did Jiaqi enter?
"I probably went to the second floor, and I saw him walking up the stairs."
I know that this hotel has four floors, a large area spread, with swimming pools and coconut palms, some beaches, what a bowling alley and a health club, and it was the first luxury five-star hotel in the city, but it has now gone out of business.
The supporting facilities in the hotel are still being placed, and the old ones can't see what they are, and the dust fell to the ground, and I kicked it with my foot to see some cups and chairs, which are probably left over from the previous people.
There is a huge screen on the wall of the hall, and there are many horizontal and vertical chairs in the stage, the glass is scattered all over the ground, and stepping on it will make a forehead rattling sound, and the car spirit shook my hand and said: Fusheng, look at it! The lantern turned on!
The red lantern wouldn't have lit up, I was just playing with the car spirit, and who knew it would turn on when I walked to the front of the screen.
At this moment, thanks to these faint lights, we see ourselves on the mirror of the screen.
The ghostly face of the car spirit was even paler at the moment, and it looked a little terrifying. I said, "Let's go up to the second floor!"
As we stepped down the hallway to the second floor, we suddenly found a camera that had been left here, and I said that this one looked quite new, as if it had not been here for a long time.
I wanted to open it to see what was going on inside, but the lens showed that the power was low.
I took it in my hand and took it apart from the battery on the back, I don't have a No. 7 battery, otherwise I would have put it in.
Bring the camera with me, I think I'll see it when I go out.
Walking up the stairs on the second floor, we saw that there were many figures on the walls on the second floor. It's some kind of child's prank, but it doesn't look like it.
At the end of the stairs on the second floor, I stopped, and the Che Ling put his index finger in front of his mouth to tell me not to make a sound, and I looked in front of me with excellent eyesight, but found nothing.
The second floor should be a place to live, there are countless rooms on the left and right, and it stands to reason that there should be nothing special, but Che Ling said that I have to take a look when I see that Jiaqi has been here.
From the first one to the other five rooms, I saw that the layout was much the same, with broken beds and some furniture covered in dust and cobwebs.
If you look at it, there is some soot under the table, probably left by the former residents.
I turned over some mud and saw that there were two marbles underneath, and I felt strange in my heart, because these marbles had a very special color, showing an agate color, so I thought they were very precious and held them in my hand.
Who knew that at this moment, Che Ling covered his mouth and looked out of this room: I just saw someone passing by!!
