Chapter 25: I don't know where it came from
"Can you tell us about what happened that day?" Liu Yang asked.
Lao Tong smiled: "Then I have to invite the old man to have a drink." ”
The four of them came out of the square and walked slowly along the street. The old boy walked in the front, probing the road with a blind stick, not looking at the eyes, but walking more than anyone else. From time to time, men and women greeted him and joked on the road, and the old boy laughed and teased, looking so close to the people.
Coming to the crossroads, the old boy led them around the road to the back of an alley. There is a row of food stalls here, hanging large wattage light bulbs at night, shining brightly, dozens of spicy hot, mutton skewers, home-style stir-fry stalls, frying and cooking fragrant, so lively.
Lao Tong took them to a mutton stall and asked for dozens of large skewers, a mutton stuffy pot, and a case of beer. Bai Shuang hurriedly said: "We have eaten in the evening...... The old boy pulled out a bottle of cold beer from the box, bit off the cap with his teeth, took a big sip first, wiped his mouth and said: "Don't be so poor and fastidious young people, eat when you are hungry." I tell you, I'm not a man who can't be pretended, and if you don't eat it, I'll eat it all. ”
It didn't take long, mutton skewers, hot pots, and platters of side dishes were all set up on a table, and the old boy felt that it was not enjoyable to eat, so he ordered a lunch box of egg fried rice. The three of them were dumbfounded, what kind of person is this, it's just a rice bucket.
The old boy is like he has not eaten for 800 years, he eats quickly and fragrantly, and he goes down for more than half of it in a short time. When the speed finally slowed down, he stepped on his stool and blew on the bottle with his beer.
Liu Yang asked him to tell him what was going on that day.
The old boy took a sip of wine and said, "This matter is a bit complicated, and we must start from the beginning." A few days ago, Li Damin suddenly found me and asked me to help him observe the falling yin, and he wanted to go to the underworld to find someone. I asked who it was, and he said it was a Japanese who had been dead for hundreds of years. I said what are you kidding, I can't find it. Not to mention whether the person is a foreigner or not, but he has been dead for such a long time, and it has been a hundred years, so he will definitely not be found. ”
"Oh? Why? Xu Dazhi asked curiously.
Lao Tong said: "You may not know much about the underworld. The underworld is similar to our yang world, but there is a difference of thirty or fifty years, and there is a law over there. Those who died in vain have become ghosts, and they are able to travel to and from the yang world, relying on the bones of their former lives and the place of death where their souls died at the moment of death. When neither of these aspects exists due to the passage of time, its presence in the yang world will become smaller and smaller. If you want to say that there are more than 100 years of old ghosts, there must be, but very few. The ghosts will not exist in the yang world for too long, and they will eventually be taken into the city of vain death and managed in a unified manner. Those who can wander in the yang world for more than a hundred years are ghosts who have undergone a certain amount of cultivation and know the art of ghost cultivation. That kind of ghost, just like a person becoming an immortal, the probability is so small that it is negligible, how many immortals have you seen? ”
"Ghost cultivator?" Xu Dazhi asked: "What kind of spell is ghost cultivation, I heard a master say it before, and he will too." ”
Lao Tong turned his face sideways, as if he was paying attention to him with invisible eyes: "Who do you know, who can actually cultivate ghosts?" Oh, forget it, I don't inquire. The evil thing about this spell is not how vicious the means are, but the process of cultivation. Ghost cultivation ghost cultivation, as the name suggests, is a spell that only ghosts can practice. So can a person cultivate, but this person must treat himself as a ghost and go to the underworld to practice! I don't know much about the secrecy of the process, and my skills haven't reached that point yet. ”
Bai Shuang asked Xu Dazhi curiously: "Who are you talking about?" By the way, Liu Yang, I remember that you mentioned the ghost cultivation technique in your novel, which was practiced by Peng Liang and Brother Peng. ”
"I'm a novel." Liu Yang smiled.
Xu Dazhi said in a low voice: "I'm talking about unraveling the bell." ”
Liu Yang coughed: "Don't go off-topic, Brother Tong, keep talking." Li Damin looked for you to watch the yin, and then what? ”
"I told him plainly, it can't be. But Li Damin, this kid, is very tough, which is not only the reason why I like him, but also the annoying thing. Determined to death, he identified a way to run to the dark. At the time, I guessed that the Japanese dead ghost he was looking for might have a few places to go. It is not clear that he will be reincarnated in the six realms of reincarnation, and he will become a man and a beast; Second, if you cultivate ghost cultivation and practice with a ghost body, you may be very high; Thirdly, he suffered in the eighteen layers of hell. Lao Tong said.
"I have a question, will foreign ghosts hell in China?" Bai Shuang asked.
"Well, I can't say anything about you. I can only say that if you die in China, you will go to the hell of China, and the underworld is also divided and managed. In ancient times, there was a saying that fallen leaves return to their roots, and people who died in other places had to find a way to transport their bones back to their hometown, for this reason. So I said to Li Damin, it is almost impossible for you to look at Luoyin now and find a ghost who has been dead for hundreds of years or a foreign country. No, it's simply impossible. The old boy poured a few more sips of wine.
He wiped his mouth and said, "This Li Damin, die." He said he had seen a manuscript left by the Japanese ghost, which clearly stated that it would be possible to find it if he was psychic. He was convinced that this Japanese ghost would not lie. I think about it, okay, let him watch the yin once, and if he can't find it, he will die. Play with your child. ”
The three of them knew to get to the point, did not speak, and listened quietly.
Lao Tong said: "You know, it is not so simple to observe the falling yin, and the first place to start the Fa cannot be chosen arbitrarily. It must be in the place of great evil, the junction of yin and yang. ”
"So you chose that tower?" Xu Dazhi said.
The old boy turned around, picked up the blind stick, and pointed it to the sky. The three of them looked in the direction and it was the spire of the red tower in the square. The three of them looked at each other, they really couldn't believe that Lao Tong was blind, how could he be so accurate?
Lao Tong was like a teacher with a stick and commented on the spot: "When you come here, you see the road that leads directly to the square." ”
"Hmm."
Lao Tong said: "You will remember in the future, if you buy a house, don't choose the end of the road, the road is opposite; Also, don't buy the one at the crossroads. These are all road brakes, and those who occupy this place are ruined and killed. Such a house is not suitable for living, and is only suitable for places such as Guanluoyin, Yin Temple, and Chenghuang Temple. Yin and yang intersect, which can be convenient for the Bodhisattva to adjust the yin soldiers and yin generals. The tower sits at the end of the road, right next to the intersection, and is not only extremely vicious, but also has at least three homicides in it. It's locked and doesn't let anyone in. ”
As he spoke, he suddenly turned his stick and pointed in the other direction. There, the spires of the New Tech Building loomed.
"See that, right? The feng shui there is even stranger, the whole building is not facing north and south or east and west, but at an oblique angle, like a wall knife. The whole building is like a knife stuck in the chest of our city, gathering the evil spirit of the whole city. The broken tower in the square was already fierce, but it was corresponded to by this building, and the evil spirit was twisted and turned, and it was even more ferocious. ”
"It's so fierce, don't the people who made it know it?" Xu Dazhi asked.
The old boy laughed and laughed so much, he said: "I don't know feng shui, and there may be a murderous house built with your hands." But all the elements conform to the characteristics of the murderous house, which is obviously intentional. There are masters who have built a fierce building here, gathering evil energy here, and I don't know what I want to do. ”
The three did not speak. Xu Dazhi was curious, Bai Shuang didn't believe it at all, and Liu Yang was thoughtful, obviously silently memorizing, and it was estimated that he would use it as material in the future.
The old boy came to his senses, and actually stood up and said, "I have been to that building, and there is an exhibition hall in front of the building. This exhibition hall is very exquisite, it is very much like a book spread out, if you can look down from a high place, and it happens to be at a good angle of sunlight, you can see that the glass on the roof of the building is actually written scriptures. And this building is like a knife and a pen, and it happens to be written on the 'book' of the exhibition hall. ”
"What's written?" Xu Dazhi asked.
Lao Tong smiled and shook his head: "How do I know, I can't see it again." “
The three of them almost vomited blood, you can't see anything, the details just now are so exciting. Xu Dazhi felt that Lao Tong was mostly ridiculous, whether it was true or not, it was all a joke. Lang Lang Qiankun, the flag is fluttering, where did the murderous house come from. Listen to what he has to say next.
Lao Tong continued: "We chose the broken tower as a place to watch the falling shadows. In fact, what you see in the video is only a small part of what happened that day. Before the video, I did a traditional view of the yin for Li Damin, but it didn't work. Therefore, the only way to do this is to use a special method -- to let him enter the dying bardo realm in the extreme yin of the murderous house, and see if he can find the Japanese ghost. And then there's what happened on video, all the way to his madness. ”
"At the end of the video, you remove his mask." Xu Dazhi said: "When I saw that woman, I was so frightened that I took several steps back. ”
"That's Mi Po. She wasn't scared, but the situation that appeared at the time was really strange. ”
Lao Tong said that when he took off the mask, he found that Li Damin had changed. It's not that his facial features have changed, but the temperament on his body has changed drastically, and he has completely become a woman.
Lao Tong said that judging from his experience, Li Damin must have been possessed by some female ghost. At that time, Li Damin was still wearing a very feminine red robe, coupled with the extremely feminine feminine aura he showed, people couldn't help but have an illusion that this was not a man at all, but a wicked woman with a manly appearance.
What is certain is that the woman who is on him now is definitely not the Japanese ghost he is looking for. That Sun Ami is a man. During the Kyoto period in which Sun Ami lived, women were not allowed to perform Noh plays, and the stage was full of men.
Is the possessed female ghost a woman who once hanged herself here?
Neither is it. Lao Tong said that this broken tower had been haunted before, and he was once entrusted by someone to do a small ritual here, and the ghost died unjustly. For those who hang themselves, it is the most troublesome to send them to life, and their ghosts often stay where they hang themselves and do not leave. At that time, it took a lot of effort for the old boy to send the hanged ghost away. Li Damin's body is not the hanging female ghost, even if the hanging ghost comes back, Lao Tong will be very familiar with its breath.
This ghost in Li Damin's body, Lao Tong and Mi Po couldn't see what it was at all, and they didn't know where it came from.
