Chapter 470: Rosary
We discussed it for a while and finally decided that we would stay here for the night. After all, if we go any further, our plans will be completely disrupted.
We have to release the paper figure here before we can quietly move forward.
When the innkeeper heard about our plans, he was stunned. Then he almost pleaded, "Brother, are you still going to stay here?" ”
I nodded and said, "We still have some business to do." ”
The boss said with a sad face: "Aren't you afraid of those impermanence coming to you again? ”
I knew what he was worried about, so I smiled and said, "You're worried about impermanence getting you in trouble." ”
The boss didn't admit it, didn't deny it, just looked at me and said, "Isn't this all the same?" ”
I comforted him: "Don't worry, let's tie a few paper figurines here." Before twelve o'clock, definitely go. Those who are not common are no longer here, and they won't be difficult for you. ”
The boss nodded: "Okay, you guys should be careful too." Then, he asked curiously, "What did you just say?" Looking for a paper man? ”
I nodded: "Is there a paper shop around here?" I'm going to have to buy some materials and tie the paper man. ”
The boss looked at me and asked with some curiosity, "Those paper people who went to the grave?" ”
I nodded.
The boss said, "So what the hell are you doing?" Last night, you were in a fight with the ghosts. I'm going to buy something to go to the grave today......"
I smiled and said, "Actually, you can treat me as a Taoist priest." ”
The boss nodded: "I think you also look like a Taoist priest." ”
Then, he said, "If you want to find a paper man, you don't need to buy it, I have it here." ”
Then he told us to wait a while and went out on our own. A few minutes later, he picked up and hugged back seven or eight paper figurines. And he asked us, "How?" Do you need anything else? I still have paper money here. ”
I looked at those paper figures, and the workmanship was not bad, and I couldn't help asking, "Could it be that you originally opened a paper shop?" Why are there so many paper figures prepared? ”
The boss smiled and said, "We are at the crossroads of the underworld. Everyone here has been dealing with ghosts since childhood. Therefore, everyone will tie paper people, and they will use it when they can't keep it. You can't buy these things when you want to go out because there's no one to sell them. Come on, are these paper figures enough? ”
We nodded again and again: "Enough, enough." ”
The boss asked again, "Do you want some more paper money?" ”
I waved my hand again and again, and then went back to the room with the others.
All day, we didn't come down again.
Wushuang and I didn't systematically learn how to tie paper figures, how about paper people to make fake and real. But I've never eaten pork and I've seen a pig run. What's more, there is a great master such as the King of Jizo beside him.
The two of us carefully wrote our birthday on the paper figure.
Then we thought about it and took out a wisp of remnant soul from each of them. In this way, we finally reached the level of hunger that was really fake. As long as a few wizards don't take a closer look, they will definitely not be able to find out the truth of these people.
After doing all this, I said a little worriedly: "These paper figures can indeed confuse each other's eyes with fake and real." But what if they split up and continue to chase us? ”
King Jizo said, "This is a problem, and we have to find a way to hide ourselves." ”
Wushuang thought for a while and said, "This is easy to do. Then she turned back to the envoy and said, "Go to the underworld and see if there are any people in this city who have just died." ”
The ghost envoy agreed, and hurried away. A few hours later, she returned. "Yes," he said, "Yes, I found their names and addresses. ”
Wushuang picked a few of them and said, "There are men and women in these people, we just need to go to their homes and take something that these dead people used before they died." You should be able to disguise them. ”
Wushuang sat in the room as usual, looking at King Jizo and Madame Zhang. And I went out with the ghost envoy, and according to those addresses, we went around these houses, and stole a few things that the deceased had used before his death.
These things are nothing more than glasses, combs, pens, photographs, etc.
After we retrieved these things, Wushuang had already drawn the spells according to the eight characters of these people's birthdays. Let's bring it accordingly. Then he confessed: "No matter what, you must restrain your breath." Don't show it, or you'll be discovered. ”
We all nodded in agreement.
It was not yet dark at this time. We sat staggeringly and rested.
However, at this moment, I suddenly heard a faint sobbing sound.
I was startled and looked up from the table. I saw the sunset shining through the window. The room is brightly reflected.
It's not dark yet, so it's not supposed to be a ghost. But the cry just now was so weird, right in my ears.
I looked around and there was nothing out of the ordinary. Not only that, but even the most vigilant Jizo King did not react, he was closing his eyes and recuperating.
I slowly got back on my stomach on the table. I had been in a daze for a few minutes when the cry came again.
I sat up. Now I understand that this cry is not someone else's, it is Wen Yu's.
I couldn't sleep anymore and had to sit cross-legged. I know that she didn't wait for me to come back, probably thinking that I was killed by Wushuang in the underworld.
In this way, Wen Yu cried all afternoon without a sound. In the evening, when I was hungry, it finally stopped.
I saw that it was basically dark outside. With a long sigh of relief, he gently woke up the rest of the people: "Hey, it's time for us to go." ”
Wushuang raised his head and rubbed his sleepy eyes: "Let's go, let's go." What about paper people? ”
Mrs. Zhang said, "One person brings one." When on the street, let them go and let them go in the opposite direction. ”
We nodded, packed up, and were about to set off when we heard a soft footstep on the stairs.
As soon as I heard this voice, I didn't know why, but I felt like it was coming for us.
Sure enough, a few seconds later. Dangdang, our door was gently knocked three times.
I put my back to the door, then slammed it open.
There was a boss standing outside who seemed startled. He looked at me and said, "I'm here to remind you that it's getting dark and it's time to go." Otherwise, after twelve o'clock, it will be very dangerous. ”
I nodded and said, "Thank you." ”
I, Mushuang, King Jizo. The three of us are either half-immortals or immortals. So the soul can be condensed into a substance. The owner was able to see us. As for the ghost envoy and Mrs. Zhang, he couldn't see it.
A few of us went downstairs one by one, and King Jizo walked last. Suddenly, he stopped and turned to look at his boss.
The boss was a little nervous by him and asked, "Yes, is there something wrong?" ”
King Jizo said solemnly, "Thank you." ”
The boss waved his hand again and again: "No, no." I opened a store, you pay for accommodation, thank you? ”
King Jizo smiled slightly, thought for a moment, and took out a string of prayer beads from his arms. He pointed to the rosary and said, "When the old monk had just been shaved, Master once gave me a string of rosary beads. From that time to now, I don't know how many times this rosary has been counted. A few days ago, I gave two of the rosaries to two young friends. Today, I might as well give you one, it should be a commemoration. ”
Then, he took one from the rosary and placed it in the palm of the boss's hand.
The boss groped for this round and jade rosary, and couldn't help but say, "What is this made of?" It looks like wood, but it's heavier than wood. It's hard to the touch, but it doesn't feel like a stone. Is this an antique? Isn't it worth a lot of money? ”
Instead of answering him, King Jizo said, "If you encounter any danger, in a matter of life or death, smash this rosary." Don't be reluctant. ”
Then the king of Jizo came up to us and said, "Let's go." It's not early. ”
King Jizo and I walked out of the gate, and I quietly asked him, "Why did you give him a rosary?" If the rosary is crushed, your vision will come out, has he had a great calamity recently? ”
King Jizo nodded: "I always feel that he won't survive tonight, and those impermanences won't let them go." With this rosary, he can at least save his life. Whether he leaves or stays tomorrow depends on his creation. ”
