Chapter 20: The Gambler
But he said that in order to change his fortune, my classmate went to the cemetery in the middle of the night to dig up the bones of a child. The child, who was only five years old when he died, appeared to have been electrocuted in the family, and then buried in a special way according to local custom. As for how to bury it, I won't talk about it here, just my unlucky classmate.
He said that when the baby's coffin is dug up, it must be opened with his back to the coffin, and then wearing gloves and carrying the baby on his back with his backhand. Put it in a new coffin at twelve o'clock in the night.
This new coffin is also exquisite, with a pair of crow eyes and three hundred-dollar bills in the coffin. The lid of the coffin should be engraved with some special ghost-suppressing runes, which can neither harm the dead baby inside, nor let the dead baby escape.
When they are done, put a paper figure in the child's grave and bury it again so that no one will find out. The coffin containing the baby was then transported home.
The coffin is best placed in the basement and then the live chicken is slaughtered for memorial service. A stick of incense in the morning and evening cannot be broken, otherwise there will be a big mess.
I don't know where he heard about this remedy, and it is said to change people's fortunes. But I know it's complete nonsense, because everyone's fortune actually has a constant quantity. And this constant quantity will also vary according to the date of birth. Some people have a little more, some people have a little less.
Fortune is constant, but it can be expressed in different ways. Some people are young and proud, but their old age is desolate, and some people are young and miserable, but their old age is free of illness and disaster. According to what I know, my classmate's method is at most to overdraft his fortune in advance, wait for his fortune to run out, and wait for the rest of his life to endure hardships!
At this time, even if he won more money, it was useless.
Don't say it, his fortunes have changed dramatically since he used this method. Kill all sides in the game and win happily.
But the more he wins, the more scared he becomes.
Because he always felt a pair of eyes staring at him behind his back, and sometimes he would hear the laughter of a female doll. Every time he heard it, he felt his whole body tremble and sweat on his forehead.
Later, the situation became more and more serious, and some people said that he would always make a child's laugh very abruptly, which sounded creepy. It is also said that it is sometimes strange to see his shadow in the light, as if there is a little girl riding on his shoulder.
This student has a weak heart and knows that there may be something wrong with his home remedies. Later, when he went to worship regularly, he found a gap in the lid of the baby's coffin, and out of curiosity, he glanced inside.
It didn't matter if he looked at it, he actually saw the inside of the coffin, and there was also an eye that peeked secretly through the crack in the coffin. He and that eye are separated by a coffin crack!
This guy was so scared on the spot that he turned around and ran. After running over, I realized that my eyes were not very good, and I could see everything hazy, as if there was a ghost.
When I heard this, I said, "San, you're really fucking guts!" You don't even know the truth of being a human being when you gamble? It is taboo to dig people's graves, if you do such a thing, aren't you afraid that your old Ji family will be wiped out?
Zhang Wuren said next to the old god that the situation is much more serious than you think. Tsk, you dare to move the corpse of a baby who died young? I really ate the bear's heart and leopard's gall.
Ji Laosan had a bitter face and said, Great China, let's be classmates, you can't help me. I've inquired, you're the best at these things, I can only beg you.
I said, Ji Laosan, I can help you, but you have to quit this gambling. Look at you are a rich man, how many people can't envy you? You're addicted to gambling stuff!
Ji Laosan said, Great China, as long as you can help me kill that little ghost, I am willing to let me chop off my fingers! It's so infiltrating! Do you know what happens to my eyes right now? At night, I could see the kid following me! He wants my life!
Zhang Wuren said, okay, we take care of this matter. But the rules in the circle can't be broken, the money that should be given must be given, and you know, our industry is very taboo.
Only I know that Ji Laosan is poor now, and if this guy has a dollar, he will take it and turn it over. 10,000 yuan was a drizzle for him before, and for him now, he really can't take it out.
I took out my mobile phone and transferred 10,000 yuan to him on a certain treasure, saying, I lent you this money, and I will pay it back when you have money.
Zhang Wuren looked at me strangely and said, Lao He, you are doing this because of cause and effect. If we can't handle that little guy, it won't let you go.
I said okay, you, if you really can't do it, we don't have to be retaliated against by that little guy? Besides, we've even dried up the corpse clothes, and we still care about a little baby spirit?
Zhang Wuyi scratched his head, and couldn't refute it. However, he quickly stopped thinking about it, but asked Ji Laosan to transfer the account first, and then took out a bottle of Sanyang wine.
He poured Sanyang wine into his hand and rubbed it back and forth twice, and slammed it on Ji Laosan's head. Ji Laosan screamed and said, it hurts! Hurt!
Zhang Wuren said, the pain is right. Your body is full of yin energy now, the yang energy of Sanyang wine is the most vigorous, and under the alternation of yin and yang, it is strange that it does not hurt!
He pressed his palm on Ji Laosan's forehead, and after a while, Ji Laosan's forehead turned pitch black. Zhang Wuren told me that the Demon Thorn would lend me a little bit.
The Demon Thorn is made of a hundred years of lightning wood, to say that the craftsmanship of the great monk of Hongde is really good, although it is only the thickness of the thumb, but the texture is extremely hard. There are naturally formed thunder patterns on it, as well as the ghost suppression runes of the Buddhist gate. The two runes are entangled with each other, and if you don't look closely, you think they are naturally formed.
The most important thing is that one end of the demon thorn is sharp, although it is wooden, I don't know how the great monk Hongde dealt with it, and the hardness is even stronger than steel.
But it was said that Zhang Wuren was holding the Demon Punishment Thorn, and used the tip of the tip to pick it on Ji Laosan's head, and a stream of black blood suddenly spurted out. That's right! It is indeed squirting, not flowing.
Zhang Wuren twisted Ji Laosan's neck, and all the black blood sprayed into the basin prepared in advance. I frowned, there was clearly something wrong with the blood.
Zhang Wuren returned the Demon Thorn to me, and then let go of Ji Laosan. He said, "How does it feel?"
Ji Laosan shook his head and said that he felt much better. Lao Zhang, okay! Have real skill! Is that all it done? This 10,000 yuan is too easy to make, right?
I was so angry that I almost kicked over, and said, Ji Laosan, you were the number one person in Shenze County at the beginning, usually at the gambling table, hundreds of thousands of yuan are gone as soon as you push it, and I don't see you blinking, why is Lao Tzu here, 10,000 yuan still have to be calculated?
Ji Laosan hurriedly said, what, brother, isn't this a tiger falling into Pingyang? Now that you're tight, when you clean up that little ghost, I'll go back and kill all sides, and then won't there be a lot of money?
I shook my head, and said in my heart, how could the bold and righteous Ji Laosan become like this? Could it be that gambling can really change people a lot?
Zhang Wuren said expressionlessly on the side, how can it be so simple? The infant spirit is one of the most difficult ghosts in the world, this kind of little ghost doesn't know how much suffering he has suffered in the underworld, and he doesn't know how many times he has been reincarnated, so he finally has a chance to be a man. If you die unexpectedly, you will be angry.
You don't know whether you live or die, and using a soul coffin to bind people is simply looking for death. Don't look at your physical condition now, but can you believe it? As soon as you leave the door of my house, that eye will be blind immediately!
When Ji Laosan heard this, he quickly lowered his figure and said, "Brother, what should we do?"
Zhang Wuren said, two ways. First, tonight, you drive the coffin alone to the place where it was dug up, and put it back as you did if they dug it up. This method is more passive, because whether the other party will let you go or not depends on the mood of the infant spirit. If it doesn't want to make trouble with you and obediently go back to reincarnation, even if your life is saved, of course, your eye may not get better, but it won't get worse anymore.
Ji Laosan said, what if the other party doesn't want to let me go? Brother, I don't think that little rabbit cub is good at stubble, otherwise we will kill him directly.
I saw the bruises on Zhang Wuren's forehead, and I knew that he was really angry. But although Ji Laosan is a fuck, after all, we played in a dormitory at the beginning. And he's not bad by nature, it's all damn gambling like this.
So I dragged Zhang Wuyan, meaning to ask him to take care of it.
Zhang Wuren took a deep breath and said, you had better not have the idea of killing people. Let's not talk about whether you have the ability to do it, even if you could, I wouldn't do it.
Zhang Wuren didn't bother to explain to him why he couldn't kill the other party, and said directly, the second way, you take me over to see the coffin. I'll tell you about it. It's safer to do that, but there's a downside.
Ji Laosan hurriedly asked, what's the disadvantage?
Zhang Wuren said, the sense of infant spirits is very keen, we have been doing this business for a long time, and there are not a few evil spirits who have taken action. If we follow you, it's easy to be mistaken for someone who wants to kill you. This kind of infant who died prematurely has the deepest resentment, and the brain is not very clear, so it may not be a good thing for us to pass.
In fact, if you want me to say, Ji Laosan chooses the first method is the best. Because although the other party is a baby spirit, it also makes Ji Laosan haunted. But after all, we didn't feel the killing intent from it. As long as Ji Laosan prepares more gold and silver ingots, or things that children like to play, it may not be impossible to solve the problem.
And we definitely won't let him take such a risk, at least we still have to give him one or two pieces of Buddhist texts for the amulet, so that even if the other party turns his face, he can escape back.
But Ji Laosan was frightened by the infant spirit, and said that he was not willing to carry the coffin to the cemetery alone. I tried to persuade him several times, but this guy still wouldn't let go. We had to go to his house.
It's just that Zhang Wuren and I never thought at that time that when we went to his house this time, we would poke out such a big basket.
