Chapter 143: Goodbye Gu Jianfeng
I haven't seen such an unreliable, living person receiving a fake, coin and angry thunder, let alone these things? It's no wonder that people don't bother you, and that's why he dares to play like this.
But helplessly, now we have no better way, so we can only do this. While burning these fake paper money with raw edges, I secretly said in my heart: "Everyone, it's not me who wants to fool you, it's this dead fat man, if you have something to look for him, don't look for me." ”
After a while, the color of the flames gradually returned to normal, and the paper ashes were scraped everywhere, and it seemed that the nearby wandering ghosts had been almost sent away.
"Okay, now we can enter the elevator, these things outside won't be mischievous for the time being, in fact, ghosts and people are the same, take other people's hands short, eat other people's soft mouths, they won't be unreasonable."
I heard him say it's funny, and feelings are the same as ghosts and people, and they also have a human touch? Is that still a ghost? How come I haven't encountered anything like this before?
Think about it, I've met before, all of them are the kind of six relatives who don't recognize the master, if it weren't for the luck of the good, I'm afraid I'd have hung up by now.
"Don't believe it, in addition to those who died horizontally, some people who died normally could not form ghosts, and they were arrested and reincarnated early, even if there are those ghosts who have not reached the end of their lives, they don't have much ability, and they can hide when they see the living, and only those who die horizontally will form fierce ghosts."
The fat man said as he led me to the elevator room, since those wandering ghosts have been tied, at least people will not come to mistreat us, we are very relieved to go.
Coming to the elevator, the fat man's hand just touched the switch of the elevator, and the elevator suddenly opened silently. I was following him, and I almost got him squatted on the ass.
When I was about to complain about him, I was stunned, only to see a young man dressed in the costume of a Qing Dynasty official come out of the elevator, with a pale face, a thin body, and his eyes were like bright stars, bright and dazzling, as if all the spirit of his body was on his eyes.
The young man in Qing Dynasty clothes obviously didn't expect that there was someone outside the elevator, and he was also startled.
"Yu Liang? Is it really you? ”
The young man saw me. Cautiously called me.
Well?
I'm running out with the fat man, the dirty thing is not terrible, but the tangible and qualitative dirty thing is too terrible, which means that this dirty thing has been cultivated to a certain temperature, and can directly launch a physical attack, is this worth it?
But when I heard this voice, I couldn't help but stop and slowly turned around, I didn't dare to be too fast. Because if you are too fast, it is easy to blow out the invisible yang fire on your shoulder.
The fat man also turned around, and a pair of small eyes looked up and down at the young man who didn't know if it was a human or a ghost.
"Is it really you? I'm Gu Jianfeng! ”
The young man in Qing Dynasty costume took off the hat on his head, revealing a shiny bald head. It's really like Gu Jianfeng.
"Don't come here yet, let me ask you, are you a human or a ghost? How did it end up here? ”
After three months of training, I had already become extremely cautious. It's true that Gu Jianfeng is an acquaintance, but when I was in that small village that produced coal mines, he led me to a place where ghosts gathered, if I hadn't found out earlier. If you run fast, God knows what will happen.
And this is a national first-tier city, separated from that small village for a long time, how did he end up here? Why didn't I see him last night? It's all a question, or it's better to make it clear.
"I'm not a human, I'm not a ghost."
After listening to my words, Gu Jianfeng's eyes darkened, and he said a little lonely: "I know what you want to ask, didn't I tell you at the beginning?" Although there are some places where I lied to you, it was also out of helplessness. ”
"What? Do you two know each other? That's easy to do, it just happens that there are more people and more power, and there is one more helper to deal with those dirty things, but then you are not a human or a ghost, what does this mean? ”
The fat man walked towards Gu Jianfeng with a big grin, although in Huang Tian's account he once broke into the underworld for Chunjiao to make trouble, he shouldn't be a bad person, but I couldn't fully believe him, so I quickly pulled the fat man and asked him not to get close to Gu Jianfeng.
"You'll know after I finish speaking, Ryoko, I've told you about my experience, so I don't think I'm going to repeat it, right? I came here because I discovered a big secret, and this seems to be the key link in this huge secret, so I came. ”
After speaking, Gu Jianfeng told us something we didn't know, and this matter was inextricably linked to the matter we were investigating.
As Gu Jianfeng said, he himself is a figure who wanders in the two worlds of yin and yang, and his body has actually died a long time ago, however, the soul is sealed in the body and dominates the actions of the body.
To explain it in general terms, it is a very cruel thing for a human soul to be sealed in a dead body, because the body decays.
However, Gu Jianfeng's grandfather looked against the sky, and he was able to let his grandson live like a normal person, the only difference was that there was no blood in his body.
Since we separated, he has left there to move around as a wanderer, and has been dealing with some of the most vicious ghosts over the years.
However, not long ago, he received a business, saying that a white-collar worker who had just been married for less than two years suddenly hanged himself at twelve o'clock on the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve, asking him to ask the deceased what he couldn't think of, resulting in suicide, and the family also wanted to do something for the deceased.
When Angshi received this news, Gu Jianfeng's heart suddenly struck, now people are far less grand and lively about the New Year of the lunar calendar than before, it can be said that young people now have a very weak awareness of the New Year, as if it was just like that.
However, there is still a lot to say about the traditions left by China for thousands of years, but because most of the young people go out, and there are few old people who get together, many traditional taboos are forgotten.
On the night of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, especially the time of the meridian handover, it belongs to the time of alternating between the old and the new. There is such a short period of time that belongs to yin and yang, and those who die during this time period cannot be reincarnated, and can only be wandering ghosts forever.
Of course, since someone recruited him, he had to go and see it anyway, so he asked for this man's birthday, and then found a yin cave and broke into the underworld to find someone.
The time for other Yin walkers to stay in the underworld is limited, and they can only enter with their souls, not their bodies. But Gu Jianfeng is different, he can stay in the underworld indefinitely, and he also enters with his physical body.
He had done this before, as long as he knew the birth date of the deceased in the underworld, he could summon the soul and ask what was going on.
However, this time he miscalculated, no matter how he summoned, there was no news of the deceased, so he also made a special fuss in the underworld and checked the book of life and death. It was discovered that this man did not deserve to die at all, but he committed suicide inexplicably, but the soul could not be found.
Later, Gu Jianfeng broke into the bardo space again. There was still no gain, as if the soul of the dead was completely dissipated the moment the dead were sent to death.
However, this is not possible, because anyone who chooses to commit suicide. There must be something in my heart, and in this case, not to mention that it will become a fierce ghost. At least the condensation of the soul is much stronger than that of a normal death.
In this case, Gu Jianfeng's first reaction was that this person's soul must have been taken away by a certain master, otherwise he would never find it.
So who will take away the soul of the dead? What use did he want this man's soul? Generally speaking, only the Thai head descender will collect the souls of children under three weeks old to refine the ghost descendants, but the souls of adults are useless.
After the age of three, the door of heaven for children is closed, and the souls of adults have completely merged with their bodies, even if the souls leave the body after death, it is useless, who will collect the souls of these adults?
This time, Gu Jianfeng returned home, he didn't find anything, and naturally he couldn't ask for other people's money, but fortunately, he didn't have a strong desire for money, and he felt very embarrassed that he couldn't help others this time.
"What are the taboos of the New Year?"
I happened to be in training during the Chinese New Year last year, and I only had one day off, and I slept for most of the day, and I didn't have a chance to ask those old things for advice, so I interjected and asked Gu Jianfeng.
At this time, we have come to the elevator, and the fat man used glutinous rice paste to draw all the talismans on the mirrors on all four sides that we could not understand, and then sat down, took out cooked food and wine, and the three of them chatted while eating, drinking, and talking.
In such a small space as an elevator, three people who know how to do magic sit together and drink and wait for the ghost to come, this is also a unique experience, right?
"There are a lot of taboos during the Chinese New Year, and I also heard my grandfather say it when I was a child, and it was passed down from generation to generation, but now, except for a few rural areas that can still know a general idea, people in the city basically forget about these taboos."
Speaking, Gu Jianfeng began to give me a brief introduction to the taboos about the New Year, China is a vast land and a vast population, as the saying goes, five miles are not the same, ten miles change the rules, the folk customs of each place are different, but one thing is the same, that is, during the New Year, every household must stick to the door god and put the door stick.
Needless to say, the door god is the keeper of his own house, there are Wei Chi Gong Qin Shubao brothers, about Yu Zhang Fei, it is said that the door god was originally invented by Tang Taizong Li Shimin, at that time the palace was haunted, Li Jiancheng Li Yuanji and so on came to ask him for his life.
Li Shimin was afraid, so he convened his ministers to discuss the method, and at this time Qin Shubao and Wei Chigong said: "The eldest husband fought on the battlefield, made meritorious contributions, killed people, and bled in blood, how can you be afraid of ghosts?" ”
Tang Taizong was overjoyed, so he ordered the two of them to guard the palace gate for themselves, and sure enough, those ghosts did not dare to come in, and then it spread to the people, and the common people naturally could not let the two generals guard the door for themselves, so they painted their portraits instead, which is the origin of the door god.
As for the door stick, it's a bit weird, and it's also very interesting, it is said to be Shen Gongbao, who gambled on the declining God Calamity. (To be continued......)
