Chapter 217. Case 23: Lock the area
The so-called ghost hitting the wall, this is actually a kind of folk shouting, which refers to walking to a place, suddenly wandering around in a daze, unable to find the way, but he was completely unaware during this period. It usually shows that you are taken to a place that you have never thought about for no reason, or you are left in circles. And the ghost hitting the wall is also divided into two different situations, one is harmless, walking and walking to wake up, feeling afraid that it is also a matter of the future, the other is more dangerous, for example, obviously saw a road in front of you, but walked over only to find that it was a cliff, fell down, and there was no chance to be afraid.
So based on what I've learned, I know that these are two fundamentally different ghosts under the same system, one is a road thief and the other is a circuit breaker. The common denominator between the two is that they both use the power of ghosts to hallucinate people in order to achieve the purpose of confusing each other, and the difference is only in the quality of the motives. According to the owner of the tea stall, the ghost he encountered hit the wall, which only fooled him for a while, and did not cause any harm to himself, so from this point of view, what he encountered should be a road thief, which is a relatively harmless one. But a new problem arises here, depending on what I know about the more alternative ghosts of the Road Thief.
Normally, most of the way thieves deceive people out of good intentions, believing that the place is not safe, so they will confuse you and make you change your direction to avoid danger. Many people have encountered or heard of such a situation, walking in the mountains at night, walking and walking unconscious, and when they wake up the next day, they find themselves sleeping in a pile of graves. It's not the first time we've heard such a story since we were young, but since people have woken up and haven't lost arms and legs, it means that they haven't been hurt by anything. This danger does not necessarily exist, but the ghost who bewitched him at the time thought that the danger existed, so he acted with good intentions and took the person to a place where he felt safe.
Therefore, if a person wakes up in a grave, then the ghost who brought him must be the owner of the nearest grave. So these changes said by the tea stall owner are equivalent to another message to me and Hu Zongren in disguise, that is, when he went to the toilet, he was about to come out, and there was danger outside, what danger, it was very likely to be a more violent ghost. When I thought of this, I subconsciously touched the compass on my body, because I began to anticipate that it would inevitably take a spiritual test later. Hu Zongren asked the shopkeeper, the ghost you just said hit the wall, is there often someone else besides you who will encounter it? The owner of the shop said that many people had encountered it, but they were not injured, but they were just wandering around for a while, so everyone didn't pay much attention to it. Hu Zongren asked again, did it only happen in this toilet? The shopkeeper shook his head and said, "That's not it, near the pavilion I just mentioned, there were people who wandered around in the pavilion for a long time, and many people saw it, and the second cliff I just mentioned was more dangerous that time, and everyone almost wandered to the bottom of the cliff.
Hu Zongren asked him, these are all things that have really happened, right? The shopkeeper nodded and said, It's true, if I don't know if the things of those young people are true or not, but this ghost hitting the wall is absolutely true. When he heard this, Hu Zongren suddenly stood up and said, "On the way here just now, the two of us saw a sign, and there is a layout plan of this park on it, right?" I nodded and said yes, what are you going to do? Hu Zongren didn't answer me, but just said to me, you wait for me, I'll go and see. After saying that, he walked in the opposite direction, and during this time, the shopkeeper told me a few strange things in his heart, but the credibility was really not high, and I just kept agreeing with it.
After a while, Hu Zongren ran back out of breath, put his mobile phone in front of us, and the mobile phone was the layout of the park that he had just run to take on the guide board, and he asked the shopkeeper, what do you think of our current location? After the shopkeeper looked at his phone, he pointed to a place above and said We are here, Hu Zongren then asked where is the toilet where you were hit by ghosts? The boss slid his finger and said a place, and then Hu Zongren continued to ask about several other places where people had encountered ghosts hitting the wall, including the location of the pavilion and the second cliff, and the boss also pointed out them separately. We compared, and almost all of the places he said are on the edge of the park's trails, that is, they belong to places that everyone can walk, only one place in the upper left corner, in the picture display, but it does not belong to the open area of the park. So I asked the tea stall owner, what is this place? The boss said, this is the abandoned bomb shelter I just told you about!
So I made a secret note and thought we might be able to visit this place. At this time, Hu Zongren pointed to the middle of the screen and asked, what about here? Where is this? The boss said, this is under the cliff under our feet, where there used to be a dark river, now it is full of weeds, and it is possible to go, but it is very difficult, and no one will go.
I looked at the location carefully, and if I set this map as a center point, and set the place where the ghost hit the wall as the edge point, then extending from these edge points to the center point, it will come together, that is, if the road thief who caused the crowd to hit the wall was to avoid the danger around him, then this danger must be in the center of many crime sites, that is, the location of the dark river below. So I asked the boss again, this place is the dark river, that is, the place where you just said that a big earthworm appeared in the rainstorm, right? The boss said yes, that's pretty much it. Where are the bomb shelters, there are usually occasional people who go on expeditions or something, but there is no way at all, if you are not careful, you will be injured, the grass has grown to waist high, and it is under the cliff, and no one usually goes.
Hu Zongren glanced at me, and I nodded slightly. Because we both understood that this place was probably more likely than the bomb shelter that I had thought of earlier. Hu Zongren asked the shopkeeper, how should I go to this place? The shopkeeper said, this is difficult, you have to climb over the wall first, and then there is a small dam fence underneath, where the dark river used to cross, and then you can walk in the direction of the uphill slope.
After saying this, everyone stopped talking, and it is estimated that except for the shopkeeper at that time, everyone was thinking about their own things. After a while, Hu Zongren suddenly asked the shopkeeper, you just said that the group of young people who came to explore a few days ago, you quickly noticed that you thought that the other party had a lot of people and came together, so is there anyone else who has come recently, that is, the person who can attract your attention. The boss frowned and thought about it and said, this is really not true, I have people here every day, and people who go to the park to play basically have to pass by my tea stall, but I really don't think there are any strange people. I took the conversation and asked, is there a temple here or something, I see there are some laymen at your door. The boss said that there used to be a Buddhist temple, but then it was abandoned, and there was no Bodhisattva in it. That was many years ago. I asked him again, where was that temple before? The boss said that on the edge of the dark river, there is a very small earthen temple, and now you can still see the temple wall, but there is no Buddha statue in it. Hu Zongren stammered and asked, what kind of Buddha was when there was a Buddha statue before?
O Maitreya Buddha! The boss replied casually.
This will not be wrong, if the thing that the White Lotus Sect is looking for is hidden by someone in advance, although now everyone does not know who hid it, and they don't know why it is hidden, but if the person who hid the thing is a member of the White Lotus Sect, then he will choose the Buddha temple in this place. So I hurriedly asked the shopkeeper when the Buddhist temple was demolished? The boss said that it was not demolished, but the Buddha statue was moved to another place, where it was moved, I don't know this, the time was about ten years ago, and at that time I could still walk. I think about it, it's not the Cultural Revolution, who would be so bored to demolish the Buddha statue, you know, out of the Buddha's body and blood, that is a big sin to go to hell.
Hu Zongren asked the boss, the female ghost in red you just mentioned, and those who threw corpses, when those people met at that time, was it day or night? The owner said that he heard that it was evening. Hu Zongren asked again, aren't you going to close the door at night? How did those people get in? The boss said, can you still not help if you want to come in? That iron gate can stop the gentleman, but not the villain!
I thought about it, because Hu Zongren and I are going to be villains in his mouth once tonight.
So we continued to gossip a few words, and the boss was very happy, probably no one had played with him so happily for a long time. After drinking the tea, paying for the tea, and seeing that the time was almost 3 o'clock in the afternoon, I expected that if the people of the White Lotus Sect were to come, it should be in the evening, otherwise it would be easy to attract the attention of others if they were looking for something in broad daylight. So Hu Zongren and I plan to take advantage of this time to familiarize ourselves with the place, and if something unforeseen happens, at least we have to know how to escape.
So we continued to walk slowly, on weekdays, there were not many people in the park, and soon we walked to a public toilet, thinking that this was the place where the owner of the tea stall hit the wall, Hu Zongren asked me, do you want to go in and have a look? What do I say? He said, look what the hell is inside.
