Chapter 468: Impermanent Search
The innkeeper was a little unconvinced when he saw me. He swore and said: "Young man, there are many things you don't understand. Don't think that gods and ghosts don't exist. When you see them, you regret it. ”
I nodded, and then jokingly asked him, "So after you saw it, did you regret it?" ”
The boss sighed, then nodded: "Regret." But there is no way to regret it, who made us born with yin and yang eyes? ”
I leaned over and whispered to him, "Boss, are you really yin and yang?" ”
The boss looked at me in surprise, and then said, "Is this still fake?" Why am I lying to you? ”
I pointed to the ghost envoy and said, "There's a ghost next to me, why can't you see it?" ”
My words were eerie and scared the innkeeper into a tremble. He looked warily over to me and said, "Don't be kidding. If there were ghosts, I could see them. ”
I smiled: "It seems that your yin and yang eyes are not very useful." ”
Then I waved my hand: "I won't tell you, where is there a paper shop here?" I'm going to buy some blank paper. ”
I had just walked to the door and was turning my head to ask the boss. Suddenly, there was a soft snap, and all the street lights outside went out.
The street was so dark that I couldn't see anything.
It's not just the street lights on the street that go out, but even the shops and neighborhoods next to it. All the lights were dark. However, these lights are uneven and should be turned off artificially.
I looked at the boss and said, "You guys are interesting, turn off the lights?" ”
The boss's face was a little pale: "You guys still don't go out, we can't go out this night, once we go out, we may not be able to come back." ”
I was curious and asked, "Why?" ”
The boss said, "We're at a crossroads. During the day, the road is for people, and at night, the road is for ghosts. ”
I listened to what my boss said a little nonsense, and I couldn't help but ask, "Who will you go to in the evening?" ”
The boss said, "I was about to say this. In the beginning, everyone was a little careless, after all, winter and summer, the time of darkness is different. Some people go home at night and don't bother to delay time. It is possible to run into a ghost who goes to the underworld, and is often hooked away. After a lot of deaths in a row, everyone quit. scraped together a lot of money and invited a master from the Central Plains. ”
I was so excited to hear what my boss said, I couldn't help but ask, "Did you see it with your own eyes?" ”
The boss nodded: "I also paid for it." You know, we don't have a Taoist priest here. So I went to the east to find a Han chief. That night, he started the Fa. Our doors were closed, looking out of the darkened windows. ”
I saw the chief with a lantern in his hand. Wander down the street. After walking three times like this, he stopped in the middle of the street, sat cross-legged on the ground, and did not move. ”
"We didn't know what he was doing, we were all a little nervous, and we wanted to go out and see what was going on, but no one dared to go out. And so it went through the night. It was finally dawn. That's when we opened the door. At this time, when I walked into the street, I saw that the lantern in the hand of the Taoist chief had already burned out. And himself, his body is hard. ”
I exclaimed, "Dead? ”
The boss nodded: "It's dead." ”
I couldn't believe it, "It's that simple? One didn't fight in front of him, and he died sitting in the middle of the street? ”
The boss nodded: "It's as simple as that." We were all depressed. I thought to myself, even the Taoist priest is dead, and we ordinary people are still here, aren't we looking for death? ”
"By this time, everyone was already trying to escape. But there was an old man who said that this chief was also because we died. In this case, let's take care of his funeral. ”
"It makes sense for everyone to think about it, so they scraped together money, bought coffins and paper money, and got ready. This Taoist priest has no relatives and friends here, so everyone can save money, so he directly burned two piles of paper money, and planned to bury him with the coffin. But here's the oddity. At that time, the pits were all dug. The man inside the coffin came back to life. ”
As soon as I heard my boss's description, I thought to myself, "This may be an out-of-body experience." ”
Sure enough, the boss said: "After the Taoist came back to life, everyone was terrified, for fear that it would be a corpse fraud." Later, someone who was bold and said a few words to the Taoist, only to find out that the Taoist was really alive. According to him, he was out of body and went to negotiate with those ghosts. ”
I was stunned when I heard this, and I asked the boss, "When did this happen?" There is such a great ability as a Taoist priest? Can you go to the underworld to negotiate? ”
The boss said, "I opened this shop at the age of eighteen, and now I'm forty-eight. Do the math, how many years? ”
Then the boss continued: "After the chief woke up, he told us that he had made an appointment with the people of the underworld, and every day after twelve o'clock, before dawn, this road was for the ghosts to walk, and the rest of the time, let people walk." ”
"At first, people didn't believe it. But in the end, there are a few brave people who try to walk. As soon as I walked away, sure enough, nothing happened. At this time, everyone finally believed and thanked Dade. The governor stayed with us for a few days and then left. ”
I asked anxiously, "Where is he now?" Do you know? ”
The boss shook his head: "No one knows where he went." Since then, he has disappeared. This person is in the Central Plains Taoist Temple, and there are several apprentices in the Taoist Temple. Every year his apprentices would come here to take a walk around to see if their master showed up. Well, thirty years have passed. The Taoist never returned, and his apprentices were all old. To be honest, counting the year, the Taoist chief is almost ninety now. At this age, I'm afraid I'm already dead. ”
The boss said with feeling: "We people here all say that it was because of that negotiation that the Taoist chief damaged Yangshou, so something happened." But I don't know his life and death, so it's not good to pay tribute rashly. So I made an appointment to wait for his 100th birthday to commemorate it. ”
The boss said this, and suddenly snapped and pulled down the electric switch behind him. The hotel was plunged into darkness.
I couldn't help but be vigilant, jumped back, and said, "What are you doing?" ”
The boss whispered: "Don't make noise, twelve o'clock has arrived, according to our rules here, there can be no light." ”
I was about to speak, and the boss whispered, "They're coming." ”
I subconsciously looked down the street. At this glance, you can see that the problem is coming.
There were people on the street. They were walking on the road.
These people are dressed so familiarly, and they are clearly impermanent.
I suddenly understood why the boss said that he had yin and yang eyes. What he saw was not real ghosts at all, but these impermanences.
I stared at the impermanence on the street, and carefully reflected on the boss's words.
If there is a problem with these impermanences, then it is not the people of the underworld who negotiate with the Dao Master back then, but the Great Grandmaster.
When I thought of this, the blood on my body couldn't help but boil: "The Great Grandmaster is here?" ”
But when I thought about it, I thought it was impossible. According to our induction, the Grand Master is still far away. These impermanences are, at most, his sentinels.
Outside the ruler for a while. The boss couldn't help but mutter, "It's strange." Usually these little ghosts are just passers-by, why do they go back and forth around my house today, but they just refuse to go? ”
When he said that, I noticed it too. Two of these impermanences went around the street, and the rest went inside a door.
I didn't know what they were going to do, so I leaned down on the glass door and looked closely. A moment later, impermanence came out of the curtain. Immediately afterward, he went to the side door again.
I reacted immediately: "These impermanences are looking for people. ”
The ghost envoy whispered: "Shouldn't he be looking for us, can't the great grandmaster be impatient and want to startle the snake and deal with us?" ”
I haven't spoken yet, and the impermanence has come to this place.
I said to the ghost envoy: "Go back quickly, tell Wushuang that you are optimistic about King Jizo and Lady Zhang, and don't come down." ”
The ghost envoy agreed, and ran away nervously. And I was standing at the counter, staring out nicely.
Those impermanences have finally come over.
The boss also saw that something was wrong, and he asked in a low voice, "Brother, these ghosts, are they here to find you?" “
