The bearded man immediately plugged in the door bolt without saying a word, and scolded the two of us: "How can I make an agreement with you about the three chapters of the law, and you are not allowed to open the door without authorization at any time, I don't understand?" ”

The fat man and I looked embarrassed, and the fat man defended: "We just heard our friend's voice just now and thought he came to the door, so we ......"

"Don't explain it to me!" Before the fat man could finish explaining, he was interrupted by the bearded man, and he said coldly: "I don't have a problem if you want to die, but don't bother me, this is the first and last time, if you do it again, let me get out of here!" ”

After speaking, he took out a piece of yellow papyrus, wrapped the severed arm on the ground and picked it up, and turned around angrily and went upstairs.

I returned to the cubicle with the fat man, and I couldn't help but ask, "Could it be that the sound I heard just now was a hallucination?" ”

"Definitely." The fat man nodded and said, "Not only is Brother Gua's voice an illusion, I'm afraid the knock on the door just now is the same, and the thing outside wants to lure us to open the door." ”

I felt a chill down my spine when I heard this, but luckily the bearded man arrived in time, otherwise he would have suffered. And the knock on the door just now must be an illusion, otherwise there is no reason why the bearded man can't hear it, because the smashing is too loud.

"What the hell is that thing?" I asked again.

"Judging from the corpse spots on the arm, it must be a dead person, and it is a person who has been dead for a long time, the flesh and bones have dried up, according to the calculation, it is either a ghost corpse, or it is an evil one, but no matter which one it is, if we really opened the door just now, I am afraid that there will be more than one bad luck, and it can create such a strong illusion, it is by no means an ordinary dirty thing." The fat man said.

I nodded, and the bearded man's adherence to the outdated rule of not being diagnosed just now also corroborates this.

This makes me wonder even more, what do the people in Liuhe Town have to do with the ghosts that pop up here? Doing business with each other should be regarded as a cooperative relationship, and each must take what he needs.

But since it's cooperation, why would the ghost rush in and harm people after the child's time?

I finally understood why the owner of the breakfast shop told us not to spend the night here, it was indeed too dangerous, and no one was close!

Then I talked with the fat man for a while, and after not having a clue, we each lay down.

This night, the fat man and I both woke up very much, and the strange and strange environment made us both instinctively tighten the strings in our hearts, and we couldn't sleep at all.

At dawn the next day, when it was almost eight o'clock, the bearded man went downstairs again, and after glancing at me and the fat man, he stood behind the door, opened it when the clock pointed to eight o'clock, and went out.

I always feel a little weird in my heart, it stands to reason that opening and closing the door at eight o'clock can't be early, but it can always be a little later, right? But every time the bearded man opens and closes the door, he waits behind the door for the last time, opening the door on time.

Not only him, but the rest of the town was also very uniform.

It's like ...... Some kind of ritual?

This time, the bearded man didn't bring anything to us after he went out, but looking at his mouth full of oil, it was obvious that he had eaten alone. The fat man and I were speechless for a while, and we talked to the bearded man very knowingly and went to have breakfast, but he nodded and didn't even look at us.

The fat man and I went out of the store, and we still came to the noodle restaurant where we had breakfast yesterday, and the boss saw that our faces changed slightly, and whispered, "You spent the night here last night?" ”

I looked at the fat man and didn't know whether to answer yes or no.

But after thinking about it, the boss told us yesterday to get out of here and not to spend the night here, presumably out of kindness, so I let down my guard, nodded, and said, "Yes." ”

"Then it seems that you should have an acquaintance here, I don't know which one?" The middle-aged boss asked us the following.

I was still hesitating whether to say it, but the fat man took the lead: "It's Boss Cao of the herbal medicine shop." ”

"Oh, it turned out to be Mayor Cao!"

The middle-aged boss said with a smile, and immediately became familiar with us, and even his voice was a little louder.

After saying that, he brought two bowls of noodles, and when I saw it, there was more beef than yesterday, and it was obvious that these extra beef were probably added to the bearded face.

Unexpectedly, the bearded man turned out to be the mayor of Liuhe Town, and he seems to have a very high status!

"Boss, I see that you have a good face, you should be a person with many children and many blessings, I don't know where the children are?" The fat man took two mouthfuls of noodles and asked seemingly casually.

I looked at the fat man, and the fat man pouted at the back of the store.

Following his direction, I saw a photo of a middle-aged boss and a young man in the middle, wearing a white coat, looking very intimate, it should be a family.

I secretly gave a thumbs up to the fat man, this guy was very observant, and he found the entry point of the cliché so quickly.

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "So-so, now I am the chief physician in a hospital in Kyoto." ”

Although he said modestly, he was obviously tickled by the fat man, and his face was colorful.

I was secretly surprised, because the young man in the photo looked to be in his twenties, and the white coat on his body had the word "Tongji" written on it.

You must know that the profession of a physician is not only good in medical skills, but also in clinical experience, and it is unlikely that you will be mentioned to that position without sufficient experience accumulation.

Instinctively, I remembered some of the things Miao Miao once said to me, she said that the yin virtue accumulated by the parents will sprout yin on the child, which can make the children and grandchildren more prosperous, a bit similar to feng shui.

I don't know if this sudden thought has anything to do with the family, but it always feels like they need some reason to keep this haunted town, right?

Liuhe Town is basically ruined, even if it is for business, where to do it is not better than this town?

Since my son has such a future in Kyoto, why not go to the bustling Kyoto?

"The future is great!" The fat man happily slapped a sycophant, looked envious, and said, "It's you who have worked hard here." ”

"Haha." The middle-aged boss was happy, with a smile on his face: "It's all for the children, it's worth it!" ”

"Yes, too." The fat man smiled and nodded.

Then, the fat man laughed and talked with the middle-aged boss again, and at this time, other people entered the store, and it was not good to talk again, so he left after eating the noodles and paying the money.

Out of the noodle shop, the fat man looked left and right, and whispered: "Find out, the people in this town are all yin people!" ”

"Okay...... Yin people? I was puzzled for a while, and I had never been exposed to this term, so I asked, "What do Yin people do?" ”

The fat man pondered for a while, and said: "This is a very remote method, it can't be explained clearly for a while, simply put, it is to sprout yin descendants by accumulating yin virtue, so that future generations can avoid disasters, and they will be blessed and longevity; But it is different from the general good deeds and accumulation of virtues, doing good deeds and accumulating virtues are to add blessings to the next life, and doing yin is the retribution of this life, after accumulating yin virtue, it can be immediately reflected in future generations! ”

"Is that really true?" I listened to it unbelievably, but I didn't expect that my previous thoughts were right.

When Miao Miao said it, she also said it casually, but I listened to it casually, and I didn't care too much, but I didn't know that I ran into it.

The fat man nodded, and said: "There are so many Yin Practitioners here, and even ordinary people have joined in, so it can only mean one point, Liuhe Town must be at a node of a certain underworld, otherwise there are not so many Yin virtues to accumulate." ”

"Underworld node." My heart jumped, I have heard this term, the so-called people have a way, ghosts have a ghost road, the road taken by the living is called the yang road, and the road taken by the dead is called the underworld.

After death, the soul of the deceased goes to the underworld to be reincarnated, and it is necessary to hurry, and the time must not be missed.

In this world, a large number of people die every day, and the yin spirits gather together, and the yin qi is soaring, and it is easy to flush the yang people into illness, so there will be a dark path where the yin soul walks in every place, and the small roads converge into a big road, and finally lead to the underworld.

Strictly speaking, the underworld and the yang world are not in the same space, it is impossible for a living person to break into the underworld, and once the yin soul enters the underworld, it will not return to the yang world, and the two sides have nothing to do with each other, and they are at peace with each other.

However, the underworld must also accept the souls of the four directions, so in some places, the underworld is connected to the yang, and that place is called a node!

It can be understood as an entrance!

When Yin Spirits go to the underworld to be reincarnated, they all enter the underworld through the nearest node, and then rush to the underworld.

The word node frightens me because Miao Miao told me that there are usually ghost guards near the node, and there is a Hades seal on his chest, and it will be very bad if he encounters a ghost and is discovered.

The Hades Seal has been very weak since it was suppressed in the blood pool of the underground palace, but the danger is still there, and it must not be taken lightly.

"Is there a Yin person at every node?" I asked.

"Not necessarily, let alone like there are hundreds of people gathered here, who are generally alone, and the vast majority of them are Qimen people!" The fat man said, after a pause, he said: "There are so many Yin people gathered here, I'm afraid it has something to do with Toukangou." ”

I nodded, and he remembered a detail from last night, last night when the bearded man was diagnosed, there were a few ghosts in ancient costumes that were obviously dressed in ancient costumes, and the ghosts were what they looked like before they died, in other words, those few yin spirits in ancient costumes had been dead for hundreds of years.

The hundred-year-old ghost has not yet been reincarnated, and there are several in a row, except for the ghost nest in Toukangou, it seems that there is no other place.

"Let's go take a look around." The fat man said.

I said okay, anyway, it's boring to go back to the herb shop, and the bearded face is not good-looking, so it's better to go out for a walk. Besides, Liuhe Town finally poked out some eyebrows, it should strike while the iron is hot, and it is idle to be idle.

What I'm most concerned about is whether there will be ghosts in this town at night, and if so, how many?

Even if there's some terrible mess here, will it bring the Commander-level Yin Errand?

For example, the cow commander, the horse commander, and black and white impermanence!

If you encounter them, you will really suffer, especially the Ox Commander, I offended him when the Hongcun Affair ended, and in the end it was the Gang that drove it away.
