Chapter 51: Gu
"Special? Yes, it's quite special. Granny Meng said.
"Granny Meng, don't say it so much, just say it directly, what's the problem here? Why do we encounter so many dirty things? Li Bai asked.
Granny Meng looked at him and said, "Actually, you have encountered a lot of dirty things, and a big reason is because of your physique. ”
As soon as Granny Meng finished speaking, Li Bai's face turned black all of a sudden, and Lei Baoquan and Jin Guo next to him wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, so they could only hold back.
"Granny Meng, I know that I have a special physique, but you don't always take it out......" Li Bai was a little helpless.
Granny Meng smiled, although she was telling the truth, but at this time there was obviously some joke. She wore a string of sandalwood beads on her right wrist, and the dark red beads were reflected in the light. She took off the beads, handed them to Li Bai, and said, "This bead has been with me for more than 20 years, and it is given to you and worn on your body, which has the effect of driving away evil spirits and avoiding disasters." ”
Li Bai was taken aback, took the beads and said in disbelief: "This... That's too precious, isn't it? More than 20 years...... How can I be embarrassed to accept it? ”
Granny Meng patted his leg and said: "Because you are destined, so I gave it to you, although I don't say that it can turn evil into good fortune every time, but it still has some effect, I hope you don't dislike it because my wife has worn it." ”
Li Bai was like a treasure, smiled from ear to ear, and said, "How could it be? I can't wait to give it. Looking back at Lei Baoquan and Jin Guo, their faces were full of indescribable jealousy.
"Granny Meng, you haven't said what's wrong with this hotel?" Li Bai put the beads in his pocket and asked.
"When I first arrived, I could see that the hotel was full of gloom, and it must be a place where ghosts often haunt me, which is not surprising. But when I came in through the gate. It just felt a little wrong. Granny Meng said in a low voice.
The three of them tightened their hearts and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"There is also a strong evil aura in this resentment, this is the first time I have seen it on such an occasion." Granny Meng said.
"Evil?" The three of them only thought the word was familiar before, but they couldn't remember where they had heard it.
Suddenly, Li Bai shouted and said, "Oh! I know. I used to read novels, and the zombie 'zongzi' written in it was with a bad breath! ”
Granny Meng smiled and said: "Almost, the dead have evil qi on their bodies, but after entering the Yin Cao, the evil qi gradually weakens, and is replaced by yin qi, so most of the ghosts only have yin qi on their bodies, and there is no evil qi." But. If you want to talk about this evil spirit, there is a kind of ghost, it must be! ”
"What the hell?!" All three asked at the same time.
"A ghost raised by a man!" Granny Meng said categorically.
The three of them were stunned for a while, and they didn't say anything for a long time, although they had seen some unjust ghosts before, but "ghosts raised by people" were the first time they had heard of them.
"If I'm not mistaken, are you talking about that kind of imp? It's written in the news or in books. The Thai kind? Jin Guo asked.
Granny Meng nodded and said, "It is indeed recorded in many books. However, this way of raising turtles is not only in Thailand, our country has had it for a long time, and it belongs to a kind of 'Gu'. ”
As soon as they heard about "Gu", the three of them suddenly came to their senses.
"I know, Gu is from the southwest, such as the Miao Gu written in the book or something. Over there in Yunnan. Li Bai said first.
"That kind of Gu is similar to the kind of spell casting, right? I think I've seen it somewhere before. Jin Guo said.
"Come on, put on the spell...... The more you talk about this, the more mysterious it becomes, and it will be time to talk about ultrasound in a moment. Lei Baoquan felt that they were all talking nonsense.
Granny Meng watched the three of them argue for a while without coming to any conclusion, then shook her head and said, "A lot of what you said is made up by people and is in fiction. But about 'Gu'. There's a lot to be found. In the southwest area that Xiaobai said, there are indeed Gu, and there are many kinds of Gu, like this kind of raising ghosts is one of them, however, ordinary people will not touch it, because although they can use it to make profits for themselves, the effect of backlash is more obvious. The person who raises the little ghost has to use his own essence and blood to worship, and over time, he and the little ghost gradually seem to be integrated. At first, you can control yourself, but the more you get to the end, the more likely you are to be at the mercy of the little devil until you run out of energy. ”
"Oh my God, it's so scary, so why do so many people go to Thailand to do this kind of thing?" Li Bai said.
"People, profits." Granny Meng said lightly.
Lei Baoquan touched his chin and said thoughtfully: "So you are saying that there are people in the hotel who raise little ghosts?" ”
Granny Meng still had an indifferent expression and said: "I'm not sure if anyone has raised me, but I do feel that feeling, but this thing is not easy to find, and people who raise ghosts generally want to prosper their fortune and career, so they are generally hidden and will not be discovered." ”
"Who's going to keep this stuff in a hotel? I don't live here often, besides, Granny Meng said that raising this thing is to prosper ......" Li Bai suddenly stopped when he said this, he seemed to think of something, and turned his head to look at Lei Baoquan, who seemed to have the same feeling.
Jin Guo came late, so naturally he didn't know what the two of them thought, and asked, "What's wrong with you?" ”
Li Bai waved his hand and said, "Uncle Lei, do you also think of someone?" ”
Lei Baoquan nodded and said, "You speak first." ”
"Let's talk about it."
After the two of them counted "one, two, three", they spit out a name at the same time: "Zhao Shuai!" ”
"Who is Zhao Shuai?" Jin Guo asked.
"The owner of this hotel is also Uncle Lei's nephew." Li Bai said.
"Ouch, Uncle Lei, do you still have a nephew?" Jin Guo was surprised.
"Friend's son." Lei Baoquan replied.
"How can you be sure of him?" Granny Meng asked.
Li Bai stood up and began his own analysis: "First of all, as you said, people who raise this kind of thing must have something to do, either career, or fortune, in short, self-interest. Zhao Shuai's situation is very consistent with this, he is the owner of the hotel, and he told me last time that he wants to make the business bigger, and he doesn't want to just keep such a hotel. Second, you said that the person who keeps this thing is in the hotel, that must be the person who is often in the hotel, otherwise who would bring this thing here, you want to say the guest, right? Unlikely, because cleaning every day, it is inevitable that you will be discovered. If it's a staff member, it's possible. Therefore, to sum up, Zhao Shuai is the most suspicious. ”
"But didn't you say he came for you?" Jin Guo asked.
"The thief shouts to catch the thief, don't you understand?" Li Bai said with his head held high.
"There's another possibility." Lei Baoquan continued, "He didn't know the consequences when he raised him, but he didn't expect a lot of strange things to happen during this period, so he was very scared himself, so he called us here." ”
"Yes, yes, that's possible." Li Bai immediately agreed.
"I'm not good at reasoning and investigating, if you can find out, I can try to help you solve it, but if I have to find out...... I can't help it, I'm still up to you. Granny Meng said. (To be continued......)
