180 more than one
The fat man asked me curiously what was going on, I told the content of the phone again, the two looked at each other and smiled, both scolded Qingfeng Dao is Duo Qi, and they were reluctant to give money at this juncture.
To tell the truth, as soon as I heard Qingfeng say it, I knew that someone was making trouble behind it, how could Yuecheng be a big city, how could there be no Taoist power? Why was such a big list swallowed by your group of foreign Taoist priests in Star City. Moreover, according to the stinginess of Qingfeng Dao Chang, it is estimated that even the soup will not be left for others, so it is normal for others to make some weird noises, hey, the hillbilly from Yuecheng, don't swallow such a big cake alone, draw it out and share it with everyone, otherwise, hum, I want you to look good.
The three of them pulled back from this topic, continued to drink and fart, and were talking about how men should pretend to be dead to avoid demanding, when the fat man suddenly slapped his forehead vigorously, looking remorseful.
"How?" I asked, surprised.
"Brother Ghost, call Qingfeng Dao Chief, and say that we are willing to go to Moon City to help!" The fat man said urgently.
"What do you mean?" Kong Xuan and I became more and more stunned.
"On a business trip, in this way, we can go to Moon City for a long time!" The fat man smiled with a fluttering eyebrow.
"That's right! I didn't think of that! I also patted my forehead, quickly took out the phone and dialed back to the number, Kong Xuan also patted the fat man's shoulder with eyebrows on the side, and praised repeatedly, the young man's IQ has developed well recently, and he is very thoughtful.
The phone rang, and it was a woman who answered the phone, saying that it was a public phone, and the person who had just called had left. hung up the phone and scolded, fortunately, there was still a number in the mobile phone with Qingfeng, I found the number and dialed it, and it rang for a while before Qingfeng picked up the phone: "I said Zhong Gui, since you don't come, don't call, roaming is very expensive!" β
"Come, who said we weren't coming? Let's come over here, you tell me the place first! β
"You guys? How many of you are? When I say 500 yuan a day, I don't mean 500 yuan a day for everyone. Qingfeng immediately explained: "Even if you come with a hundred people, I will only give you five hundred!" β
"Okay!" I replied with a smile and a smile, as long as we can come to Yuecheng to rest for a few days, even if we don't need money, we will come.
After telling us the location, Qingfeng couldn't help but ask suspiciously: "Why did you suddenly become so easy to talk?" β
"Why are we friends too, aren't we? However, if our girlfriend calls you, you have to answer yes yes! I couldn't help but be reminded.
"No problem, just a word. However, the salary needs to be adjusted, four hundred yuan a day! Qingfeng Dao Chang laughed and hung up the phone.
ββββββββββββ dumbfounded dividing lineββββββββββββ I stepped on the train to Moon City with the fat man overnight, yes, the train, not the high-speed rail, because the high-speed rail has no trains at night.
As for why we are in such a hurry, it is because we witnessed Ai Jiayu taking Kong Xuan away from the supper stall, saying that he was going back to do his homework, looking at Kong Xuan's desperate eyes that wanted to cry without tears, I shuddered with the fat man, and decided to rush to Yuecheng overnight on the spot.
When I arrived in Yuecheng, it was already the afternoon of the next day, and I called Allure and explained the reason. When I called last night, it was Guo'er who answered the phone, and now it's Allure's turn to be on duty. The two of them are independent consciousnesses and do not interfere with each other.
Called a taxi, and soon arrived at the Yuecheng Funeral Home, Yuecheng is not like Star City, even if you have money, it is impossible to build a funeral shed in the community, unless you are the secretary of the municipal party committee. But then again, if you are an official and have achieved the step of the secretary of the municipal party committee, you will be even more conscientious and conscientious, so how can you give people a handle on these things?
Qingfeng Dao Chang greeted us at the door, took the two of us to a secluded corner, handed us two sets of robes, and his voice didn't seem to be so hoarse: "Change it first, how can you mix it up for three thousand yuan a day!" β
Changed into a robe, and asked Qingfeng some questions casually, it was nothing more than what supernatural phenomena had happened in the past few days, I was so targeted to crack it, pretending to be a ghost, it was nothing more than a few tricks.
Qingfeng has a good memory, and he has brought together the supernatural events of the past few days.
First of all, the candle flame in the mourning hall always goes out automatically, and if it is that kind of candle or something, it is easy to understand, a gust of wind can blow it out. The problem is that in order to save costs, the incense candles used by the Qingfeng Tunnel are all the kind with light bulbs, and as soon as the power supply is plugged in, the top of the incense candle will be lit up, and the light bulb is surrounded by a circle of red cloth, and there is wind blowing on it below, and the red cloth is undulating and shaking, and it looks like a candle flame from a distance.
It is said that this kind of incense candle will not fail in the case of no power outage, but it is abnormal, at first Qingfeng thought it was a poor contact, carefully checked the power socket did not check out the problem, and went to the grocery store again to buy a few such incense candles back, when they bought it were good, but when they arrived at the funeral home, they began to have problems, and the problems were at one o'clock in the middle of the night, and the incense candles were automatically extinguished.
It's okay to go out, but after a few seconds it ignites again, lights up for a few minutes, and then goes out again, as if someone is remotely controlling.
This is the first strange thing, strange but not particularly scary, after all, there are other light sources. But the second thing is a little scary.
Qingfeng Dao Leader brought fifteen people over this time, along with himself, sixteen people, eight people in two shifts, and took turns twenty-four hours a day.
The mourning hall is built under the command of the head of the Qingfeng Dao, which is similar to the mourning hall of Jinmantang, and is also divided into two areas, the front and back, separated by a black curtain in the middle. The front is done and the rest is rested, but this time the coffin is placed directly in the middle of the front hall.
There was nothing abnormal during the day, but at about two o'clock in the morning, almost half an hour after the incense candle appeared strange, there was an abnormal sound from inside the coffin, tuk tuk, tuk tuk. It was as if someone was knocking on the door.
Originally, the funeral home had that kind of crystal coffin to provide, which was nothing more than to facilitate the relatives to see the remains before cremation, arranged by the funeral home, and covered with flowers, of course, the fee was naturally not cheap. But the family of the girl who died suddenly was very rich, so they put on the mahogany coffin they bought, and regardless of the tradition of covering the coffin before the funeral, after putting the little girl in, the coffin was sealed with a clang.
A sealed mahogany coffin, in the middle of the night, there was a sound like knocking on the door, which made Qingfeng Dao Chang and others frightened. At last, there were many people, and each other could be emboldened, and they shouted and pried the coffin open, and found that there was nothing in it except the little girl who was already cold and stiff.
Hearing this, I couldn't help but interrupt Qingfeng's words: "I said, this family is so rich, there must be no fewer people in the family, how can there be relatives to keep the spirit, right?" Even if there are no relatives to wake the spirits, there are always funeral home staff, right? How could they let you pry the coffin open? β
A strange look appeared on the face of the Qingfeng Dao Chief: "The staff of the funeral home slipped away as early as when the incense candle was abnormal. As for the family...... They were indeed rich, but from the beginning to the end there was only one person on their side, and after explaining the matter to me, they disappeared. It is said that he was also entrusted by others to ask us to come to everything according to the highest grade, and money is not a problem. β
"What do you mean?" I was a little surprised.
"I mean, in this mourning hall, except for this little girl who died suddenly, there are only sixteen of us, and there are no outsiders." Qingfeng Dao Chang narrowed his eyes, and there was a strange color in his eyes, "I don't think there will be spies planted by others in our group. We are all homeless orphans, all of whom grew up in Taoist temples. β
I can't help but laugh secretly, and I am still a spy, is your Taoist temple's daily rest time just watching spy movies? It's just a Taoist temple, what are others doing when they place spies in your Taoist temple? Peek at how you meditate or eavesdrop on how you chant sutras.
He coughed lightly at the moment to hide his smile: "Let's not talk about this first, what other supernatural events are there?" β
Hearing me ask this, Qingfeng Dao Chief's face suddenly changed, and he turned out to be very frightened, and nodded: "Yes, there is indeed one of the most strange things!" β
Qingfeng's expression surprised me. Although Qingfeng Dao Chang can't be compared with Kong Xuan, he is also a member of the Taoist sect, and he can't beat the ghosts and gods for the time being, but he must have knowledge, and with knowledge, his courage will not be very bad. Many things in the world are like this, you don't know what's going on, you don't get scared, you can make yourself scared more than what you don't know.
The look of horror on the face of the Qingfeng Dao Leader now showed that he didn't know anything about what was going on.
"The night before yesterday, that is, the night before I called you, the incense candle was bright and dark, and there was a knocking sound from inside the coffin, and I called a few people to lift the coffin lid, and the sound stopped, and since it didn't sound, I didn't bother to pay attention to it, and I took care of my own business." Qingfeng Dao Changtian/Tian's lips: "It's almost three o'clock/o'clock, I walked to the back hall, I want to see those disciples of mine." β
Seeing my puzzled expression, Qingfeng smiled bitterly: "The youngest of my disciples is only eleven years old, I brought it back from the orphanage four years ago, and I happened to have a cold these days, so I have to go in and have a look, and help the meatballs cover the quilt after ......."
At this time, the fat man couldn't help but interject: "You help the meatballs cover the quilt?" What does that mean? β
"Meatball, is that my youngest disciple?" Qingfeng explained: "As a Taoist people, there is a 'son' behind the Dharma name, which is high-end, such as Guangchengzi, Chisongzi, and Bodhi Zi...... So, the names I gave them were all with 'Zi'. β
"Meatballs also have a 'zi' character, no doubt!" I couldn't help but smile and glared at the fat man, turned my head and said to Qingfeng, "You continue!" β
"After covering the quilt, I was about to go out, when I suddenly felt that something was wrong, and when I looked back, I found that there were nine people sleeping on the ground!" Qingfeng Dao's voice trembled slightly.
"Nine people?" I was surprised, and then asked, "Is it that the Taoist priest outside sneaked in and slept?" β
"I thought so at first, I lifted the curtain and looked out, there were still seven people in the hall outside, and then I turned my head and counted, yes, there were nine people lying on the ground." Qingfeng Dao Chief's face became more and more shocked: "But, there are only sixteen of us in total, who is this extra one?" β
