Chapter 53: Burning Paper
Fortunately, it is not my turn to go out for such a thing as ghost hunting, otherwise I would have to be scared to death, my uncle is also a simple and bold, and comforted me and said that I don't need to be afraid, Master Shen's mana is strong, and he will definitely be able to return a bright man here.
I'm noncommittal about my uncle's words, anyway, I haven't seen Master Shen make a move, and the ghost knows if he has mana, but I also hope that he can be reliable, otherwise we will be tantamount to breaking into the ghost nest, and we won't know how to die when the time comes.
After Master Shen gave us instructions, he carried his gossip mirror and peach wood sword and walked towards the outpatient building, which is like this in general hospitals, the outpatient building is always close to the door, and there must be an emergency building next to it, which is almost the common pattern of all hospitals, as for the inpatient department, it must be in the back, far away.
I pray, old fellow, that you will have to give me some strength! Our lives are in the hands of your old man, and if you hang up, we estimate that it will be difficult for us to escape.
After Master Shen walked into the outpatient building, the sky gradually darkened, because it was in the suburbs, there were no people around, and I felt very kind to hear two dog barks occasionally.
To be honest, I'm afraid of dogs, but at times like this, I'd rather have a dog around, at least I've heard that dogs have yin and yang eyes and can see things that we can't see normally, especially dirty things.
This is rarely the case in the city, and I have said before that ghosts are actually anions in the air from a scientific point of view, and they are a kind of human thinking group, which is affected by various radio waves, and it is difficult to survive in the busy city full of all kinds of radio waves.
On the contrary, in rural areas, where there are very few electromagnetic waves, ghosts are easy to survive, which also leads to the important reason why there are more such supernatural things in rural areas and very few in cities.
My uncle brought two flashlights, all of which were fully charged large miner's lamps, but they didn't turn them on, because ghosts are not completely afraid of light, and some powerful people are not afraid at all, especially lights, and they don't have the energy of sunlight, so they don't pose much of a threat to it, but ghosts still like to stay in dark places, and we both guard a little rooster just waiting for the water in the bowl to change color, and we can't always turn on the lights.
Another point is that I am also afraid, I can't see anything without lights, at most I feel someone near me and poke with chopsticks, if I really let me watch a ghost float towards me, I don't have the guts.
Is it the seventeenth or eighteenth day of the lunar calendar? I don't remember exactly, but the moon rose after a while after dark, and although my vision was not as good as during the day, I could see that the water in the bowl in front of me had not changed at all.
In a dark and desolate abandoned hospital, guarding a mourning stick, a bowl of water and a chicken, the scene was indescribably eerie, and I was expecting something to happen, but I was very conflicted by the fear of what would really happen.
However, with my uncle by my side, I can finally settle down a little, and when people are extremely afraid, they always want to find some spiritual support, especially when relatives are around.
As time passed, there were a few terrible screams coming from the outpatient building, and my uncle and I couldn't help but feel creepy, although we didn't see what was going on inside, we could guess some.
After hearing the call, my uncle and I lit the incense candles with lighters, and the two white candles were placed on both sides of the porcelain bowl, and in front of the bowl there was a notched circle drawn by Master Shen, and the paper money was lit in the circle.
I just lit the paper money and I found out that something was wrong, I used to follow the old man to burn paper for several generations of people in the family, I have also seen it, generally speaking, the fire after the paper money is lit is no different from anything else, but there is more fly ash.
However, the color of the paper money we are burning now is actually a miserable green, which means that we don't know how many wandering ghosts and wild ghosts are wandering around? In order to compete for the paper money we burned.
I'm really not calm anymore, and I'm feeling cold all over my body, it's like I'm in a ghost! I couldn't see them, but I could tell from them that they must be nearby, even looking greedily at me from behind.
This feeling made me uncomfortable, and I peeked at my uncle, and saw that he was also looking at me, and when he saw me looking at him, he gave me a look, and told me not to say anything, and to pretend that I didn't know anything.
I knew what my uncle meant after a little thought, and it seemed that he also sensed that something was wrong, but at this time, we had no choice but to hold on, hoping that those things would let us go for the sake of giving them money.
When we burn paper for our family, we always say that some son or grandson has sent you money, please pay attention to check and so on, but here, we just burn paper silently and don't say anything, because we don't know what took away the paper money we burned, and relatives can't recognize it.
In fact, speaking of this, many people in the city have also had such an experience, that is, they forgot where their family's grave was, and only remembered a general direction, at this time, they could only find a crossroads, draw a circle in the middle, and then burn some paper money, some chanted the names of their deceased relatives, and some burned them for those ownerless souls, which can be regarded as accumulating some yin virtue for themselves.
I have been working in other places for so many years, and I often see such things in festivals such as Qingming and Chongyang, and in some remote mountainous areas, there are also offerings of fruit, roast, chicken, liquor, and the like.
In order to hold on for a longer time, we burned very slowly, and we don't know what happened after Master Shen entered the building, but occasionally I could hear some movement from inside, indicating that the old man had not hung up yet.
I really don't know, if Master Shen really dies inside, how can my uncle and I get out of the gate of this hospital, secretly complaining in our hearts, my uncle is really, in the eyes of money, can we make this kind of deadly money?
Du said that the year is a true portrayal of me now, surrounded by ghosts, I think, if I change anyone, I will have the same positive feeling as me.
It is generally believed that it is a privilege to follow people who know magic, and they are considered to be very mysterious and can play with ghosts that we cannot see.
However, actually hanging out with such a person in a haunted place is far from exciting, on the contrary, it can be very scary.
Dirty things also have their own bottom line, and in general, why can't the vast majority of us see these things? Haven't encountered anything too unbelievable?
The reason is that these things don't actually want to be seen, they have their way of living, but these people who know magic can see these things, and they have a pair of yin and yang eyes.
Such a person can see ghosts, and ghosts can naturally see him, and they also know that they have nothing to hide in the eyes of such people, so fierce spirits and ghosts often have an instinctive rejection of such people.
Far from being safe with such a person, it will be more dangerous, because those fierce spirits often regard the person who follows such a person as his accomplice, to clean up his own.
People who know magic have the ability to defend themselves, but we ordinary people don't have this ability, and if something happens, the people who follow people who know magic will often be unlucky.
Therefore, I would also like to advise you not to mix with people who know how to do magic unless necessary, as it is not beneficial.
Half an hour passed, and the paper money in our hands became less and less, and the whole hospital yard was miserable, and from time to time a small whirlwind would sweep away the flying paper ashes, and I knew that it was those not too fierce wandering ghosts who got our benefit and left on their own.
In fact, ghosts are not too difficult to speak, there is a good saying, money can make ghosts grind, as long as it is given enough money, ghosts can also do things for people.
These ghosts received our paper money, so naturally they didn't bother me too much, after all, our purpose was just to get rich, and we didn't really want to occupy their residences, as for the boss behind the purchase of this hospital, this is not what we should worry about.
I wanted to smoke a cigarette, but I was afraid of committing some taboos, so I had to endure it. There are different small whirlwinds blowing around, although I didn't deliberately investigate, but a rough estimate is that at least dozens of ghosts have gotten money from here, and I really don't know how many such ghosts and wild ghosts exist in this hospital.
At this time, I suddenly found that there was no movement in the outpatient building, and I chuckled in my heart, saying that don't be the old guy hanging in it, in that case, my uncle and I can only run away, even if we can make more money in this job, we can't be contaminated, otherwise our lives will be lost.
Not long after, Master Shen actually walked out of the outpatient building, his clothes were disheveled, as if he had gone through a fight, his face was pale, and he looked like a ghost at first glance.
After walking over, Master Shen glanced at us, motioned for us not to ask anything, and then silently took out a Taoist robe from the package and changed it into.
After changing into a Taoist robe, it really has a bit of the taste of a Maoshan Taoist priest, which is almost the same as the Taoist priest played by Wu Yaohan in the Mr. Fantasy I watched before, but it is much more serious than him.
After changing his clothes, he took out two mirrors from his bag, the same inferior ones that my uncle and I bought at a roadside stall, tied them to my uncle and me with red ropes, and hung them around my uncle's necks, and instructed us: "When the paper money is burned, use the white wax fire head moxibustion to bake the mirror, and then take it, and if you feel that there is someone around you, you can shine it in that direction, and at the same time poke that direction with chopsticks." ”
With a mirror around his neck and a chopstick in his hand, he can't cry or laugh, what is this? Why are the defenses so funny?
But what reassures me is that I still have the pendant that Lao Wu gave me around my neck, for so long, I haven't let anyone touch this pendant, which is double insurance, even if I have a special physique, self-protection should be no problem.
The whole hospital is divided into various departments, and there are countless rooms, if you look for them one by one, you can't find them until dawn, I really don't know how Master Shen did it.
While thinking wildly, I stared at the bowl of water, and said to myself, don't have any accidents, if we get things done without danger, we can start work as soon as possible, and after finishing the work, we can just take the money and leave.
At the moment when the paper money burned out, I suddenly felt a chill to my bones, that cold was not a cold in my limbs, but a cold that penetrated deep into my soul, and at that moment, I almost thought that I was frozen to death, and the bowl of water was ......
