Chapter 12: Five Ghosts Fortune
I said, "We can't get into that room and we can't help her." Hu Zhouzhou said: "That can't push the business away." I was about to say something when my eyes suddenly fell on Jade Mirror, who was meditating seriously.
I said, "Okay. I took this order. Yang Juan was overjoyed. I asked her to leave her phone number and go back and wait for news.
As soon as she left, I put it on the ear of the jade mirror and said very flatteringly: "Old jade tube, this matter depends on you!" ”
Hu Zhouzhou looked dazed and said, "Master, who are you talking to?" ”
I was surprised and said, "Didn't you see the ghost of the housekeeper in the villa before?" You can't see him? I pointed to the jade mirror.
Hu Zhouzhou said that he could only see some low-level wandering ghosts. I was about to hand him the Heavenly Dao Seal, and the jade mirror automatically appeared.
Hu Zhouzhou blurted out a swear word and said, "Master, you actually raise ghosts in the Taoist hall?" ”
Yujing was angry and said, "Poor Dao is not a ghost. Poor Dao never died. ”
Hu Zhouzhou said: "What kind of mess? You've traveled back in time from ancient times, huh? ”
I briefly recounted what happened to Yujing. Hu Zhouzhou leaned forward and leaned back with a smile, pointed to the jade mirror and said that there was such a stupid thing in the world.
Yujing grinned, and wanted to beat him with his teeth and claws, but every time he just passed through Hu Zhouzhou's body.
I was very helpless and said, "Good, don't make trouble, let's solve the matter in front of us first." ”
I said that there may be bad people in the supermarket who are doing evil and harming the innocent. The jade mirror suddenly became serious, and said in a righteous and awe-inspiring manner: "Wait for the poor road to go and check!" ”
Before he could finish speaking, he had already rushed out of the wall with a "whoosh".
I happily crossed Erlang's legs and drank tea with Hu Zhouzhou, thinking that with the flying speed of the jade mirror, I could be back in a minute or two. I didn't expect to sit for a long time without seeing his shadow.
Something must be wrong with that guy, right? As soon as the thought popped into my mind, Jade Mirror returned.
"Why is it so long?" I immediately greeted him.
Yujing looked puzzled and said, "Strange! Weird! "Yujing went around the supermarket, and I couldn't feel the ghost at all. He entered the room that Yang Juan had described. I still don't feel the presence of any Yin Spirits. But......
However, on the table in the center of the room, a piece of bamboo was placed in each of the five directions. On the bamboo pieces are pasted a paper figure cut out of yellow paper.
He said that it was obviously some kind of ghost control formation. But how can there be no yin in the supermarket? Why did the cleaner hear two different voices? He couldn't figure it out, so he decided to go to the supermarket branch and have a look.
I kind of understood, no wonder it took him so long to come back, he actually ran to five other cities.
Yujing found that the branches of this supermarket also had such a small room that no one was allowed to enter. There was only one table in the room. On the table, there is a piece of bamboo with a yellow paper figure in each of the five directions. Similarly, he didn't feel any yin qi in all five branches.
I originally wanted to say that the supermarket found a magic stick liar to come back and set up a formation, so naturally there is no yin. But after thinking about it, no, if there was a useless fake formation in the small room, it would be impossible for Yang Juan to hear the strange sound!
My curiosity was piqued.
The two times Yang Juan heard the sound was at twelve o'clock in the evening. This is certainly not a coincidence.
Curiosity haunts me, and now I can't afford to wait at home.
At around 11:50 p.m., me, Hu Zhouzhou, and Yujing came downstairs to the supermarket together. At this time, the supermarket and the nearby merchants have closed. Street lamps stand alone on the streets. The harsh light makes the neighborhood look even more deserted.
As soon as Jade Mirror arrived at the door, he said that he sensed that there were five ghosts inside.
I couldn't get in, so I wanted to summon the ghost out. The "Heavenly Dao Atlas" contains a ghost summoning trick - soul chasing trick.
I have five fingers of my right hand stretched out flat, with the tips of my fingers pointing upwards. Pinch the base of your middle finger with your thumb. It's the soul chasing trick that pinched. Surprisingly, I repeated the trick several times with no ghosts.
What's going on? Hu Zhouzhou and I looked at each other. Could it be that the jade mirror is wrong?
Yujing didn't say a word and immediately flew into the supermarket. When he came out, his face was complicated. I couldn't make out the meaning behind the expression and asked, "There are no ghosts in there?" ”
Yujing shook her head and said yes. And really five. But they were all locked up.
Locked up? No wonder I couldn't summon souls with the soul chasing technique. But how can they be locked? Since they are locked, why can't the jade mirror see them during the day?
Jade Mirror seemed to be unbearable, saying that two of the ghosts were tortured by the sadistic ghost spell.
People are dead and still locked up and abused? How much hatred is this? The main store plus five branches have a total of 30 ghosts. The supermarket owner has too many enemies, right? But his enemies can't all be dead. Taking 10,000 steps back, even if it was really such a coincidence, why did he lock these thirty ghosts in six places?
What Yujing said next suddenly solved my doubts.
He said that he remembered hearing Master mention a five-ghost fortune formation before. This formation uses mana to exert pressure, summoning the five fortune ghosts in the east, west, south, south, and middle directions, as well as the yin qi souls in the Three Realms to act. Ordered to transport treasures under the decree of the law.
There are two kinds of this method of attracting wealth, one is milder and is agreed in the form of a contract. In this way, there is generally no need to set up a formation, but directly by the mage to open the altar to invite ghosts, and after completing the contract, he will write five fortune talismans. This method is relatively mild, and the possibility of the recipient being eaten is much smaller. But there are also weaknesses, that is, the five ghosts of the contract method are less motivated, and they bring less property.
Yujing said that the second type is a rigid use of the law, which aims to force the ghosts and ghosts of the five directions to act. The supermarket's approach is an upgraded version of the second approach. Not only did they force the Yin Spirit to attract wealth, but they also set up a punishment mechanism!
According to Yujing's observation, the ghosts in the Five Ghost Fortune Array were all cast with some kind of control spell, they went out to transport wealth during the day, and they had to return to the supermarket at night, otherwise the spell would attack and be miserable. This is the reason why the jade mirror doesn't feel half a bit of yin qi when it comes during the day. At that time, they were busy outside.
In addition to this, they are also assigned heavy tasks. They are asked to bring back a fixed amount of money every day (the luck here does not mean that the ghost will bring back the real money, but that it will generate wealth and make the wealth roll in), and any ghost who does not meet the task for the day will be cursed by the sadistic ghost and suffer the pain of soul devouring.
What Yang Juan heard was the painful wail of the ghost when it was punished.
I felt sick, isn't this the same evil thing that those children abduct and sell, cripple children, and force these poor children to beg on the streets? These children are beaten and scolded if they can't get money, and those ghosts who don't have enough money are cursed by sadistic ghosts.
People are not grass and trees, how do some people do not have a heart? That's a problem.
I said, "Is there anything I can do to help them?" ”
Jade Mirror shook her head.
I turned to Hu Zhouzhou again, and he said, "I'm afraid not." There are many ways to persecute ghosts, and we don't know which method the caster uses, so it's impossible to remove it. For the same reason, not to mention giving them their freedom, there is nothing we can do to help them unlock the control spell and the demon abuse spell. ”
My heart was on fire and I said, "Can we just watch those people do evil?" ”
Hu Zhouzhou sneered and said, "There is retribution in this world. It's not that you don't report it, the time has not come. The power of ghosts comes from their own resentment. The greater the resentment, the greater their power. When they're strong enough to break through the cage, don't you think they won't retaliate? Those who want to speculate and make money by unscrupulous means will be attacked in the end. Then they will know that what does not belong to them, they will have to pay back sooner or later. In some cases, it is even repaid in double. ”
We returned in vain, and we were unhappy all the way. I felt that the black clouds above my head were heavy, and the air around me was heavy. An indescribable feeling continued to squeeze my heart.
