Chapter 295: Exorcism from the Ghost Tower
After eating in the morning, Gu Yunzhe and the others drove to the property rights exchange together, and after searching for it, they finally found an accurate answer. The property rights of the Hundred Birds Chaofeng Building have been managed by the government department, and if you want to continue to know its true situation, you can only go to the county government to ask.
Gu Yunzhe and his entourage rushed to the government compound again, and when they arrived here, it was almost time to get off work. They could only tentatively ask where the office that held the property was located, but the answer was that they had to ask the secretary of the mayor's office. It's just that at this time, the entire government standing committee is in a meeting, and the secretary has also been called in to observe.
A few people wanted to leave for a while, and come back in the afternoon. After they walked out of the government gate, Gu Yunzhe suddenly asked them to wait here for a while, and he returned with Youlan. Coming to the hall, the two stood in front of the grooming mirror and waited quietly.
The reason why he wanted to continue to wait here was because Gu Yunzhe had already found the meeting room of the Standing Committee of the Government just now. Coincidentally, the last topic is being discussed, about the restart of the Hundred Birds Chaofeng Tower.
After listening for a while, Gu Yunzhe understood that in the early years, many reception matters of government departments were handled by Hundred Birds Chaofeng Tower, after all, in the entire county, there is no hotel that can compare to Hundred Birds Chaofeng Tower. It's just that since Chun Yu Xingsheng was driven away by Gu Yunzhe, this once glorious hotel immediately fell into endless darkness.
Therefore, not only has there been no bright spot in the government's reception work, but the annual tax payment has also been reduced a lot. After all, the tax revenue of just one hundred birds and phoenix building can reach nearly 10 million, which is a lot of political income for a county.
The county magistrate who presided over the meeting directly said at the meeting, "Whoever can take over the building and solve this haunted rumor will give him the property rights of this building for free." After saying this, he looked at everyone present, but found that none of the officials dared to look at him. With a long sigh in his heart, he directly announced the adjournment of the meeting, stood up, and left the conference room.
At this moment, Gu Yunzhe and Youlan also began to step on the stairs and walked towards the second floor.
As soon as the county magistrate walked out of the conference room, he looked up and saw Gu Yunzhe and Youlan coming up from the stairs, and was instantly attracted by Youlan's beauty and was stunned. The officials who followed him were barricaded in the door, their probes looking out.
Gu Yunzhe glanced at Youlan, thinking that she was doing ghosts, and gently bumped Youlan on the shoulder. Youlan chuckled and shook her head slightly. However, the county magistrate came back to his senses and asked, "Who are you two and what are you doing here?" ”
Gu Yunzhe smiled slightly, "Hello, I'm here just for the Hundred Birds Chaofeng Tower." I'm confident that the rumors that that the building is haunted will be resolved in a short period of time. ”
The county magistrate frowned slightly, glanced at Youlan, then looked at Gu Yunzhe, and looked him up and down carefully, "You?" Are you really sure? ”
Gu Yunzhe nodded lightly, "I can make a military order with you!" Take out 50 million to bet on you. ”
The county magistrate glanced back at the officials behind him, and those officials all looked at Gu Yunzhe with interest, and they didn't seem to believe his words. However, the other party actually said that he would bet 50 million, which seems to be true.
After all, the property rights of the Hundred Birds Chaofeng Building are not worth 50 million. What's more, now plagued by haunted legends, it can be said that the property rights of the current Hundred Birds Chaofeng Building are worthless, and even the performance of the surrounding houses and shops has plummeted. Mainly, there are still people who come to visit during the day, and when the sun sets, the customers here immediately hide far away, and those shops can only close and lock their doors.
"Okay, I'll make this military order with you. If I lose, on behalf of the government, I will not only give you the building for free, but also give you a plaque. If you lose, you will leave 50 million and don't come to harass us again. Look at how that goes. The county magistrate patted the document in his hand and said loudly.
Gu Yunzhe smiled and nodded, and stretched out his hand, "Thank you for the leader." I can get the money right now. I'll start working in the afternoon, and in three to five days, I can give you a satisfactory answer. ”
The county magistrate also stretched out his hand and shook hands with Gu Yunzhe. Then he signaled to the secretary and took Gu Yunzhe to the county finance department to go through the formalities.
Half an hour later, Gu Yunzhe held an envelope in his hand and walked out of the gate of the government compound with Youlan in his hand.
Everyone immediately greeted Gu Yunzhe and asked if Gu Yunzhe had dealt with the property rights of that building. Gu Yunzhe did not speak, but handed them the envelope and let them see it for themselves.
"50 million bet! Brother, you're a bit too big. Moreover, it will take up to five days to solve the haunted matter, are you sure" Zhang Jianqiang held a pile of materials in his hand, and after looking at it, he said with some worry.
Gu Yunzhe smiled, "It's worth the 50 million to buy the property rights of that building." Besides, what the hell, I can get it. ”
"What, I'm a little confused by what you're saying. You got it, really? Zhang Jianqiang asked. Those people also came over to listen to Gu Yunzhe's explanation.
Gu Yunzhe waved his hand, "Let's talk about it when we go home." "Beckon everyone to get on the bus and get out of here first.
Afterwards, the group returned to the hotel. After arriving at the hotel, Gu Yunzhe told the story of the incident in the Hundred Birds Chaofeng Tower, as well as the meeting with the county magistrate, and pointed out to everyone that the exorcism was just a cover, mainly to cover for advanced barriers. Finally, the steps of exorcism and the things needed are explained in detail.
After listening, everyone finally understood why Gu Yunzhe would take them to visit the ghost tower at night, and also had an understanding of the reason for the gap between Gu Yunzhe and the Outer Eight Gates. And Youlan finally knew why as early as that year, the Outer Eight Gates listed Gu Yunzhe as the target of purge, it turned out that it was not only because of the matter in Zhangjiakou, but also because he completely uprooted the rudder here.
Just do it, and in the afternoon, they will divide their labor and start preparing for the exorcism of ghosts. Bian Fengxue and Gu Changsheng took Xiao Yuanqing to buy all kinds of items needed, including yellow rice paper, red cotton rope, cinnabar ink, pure water, all kinds of incense, incense candles and large incense burners, as well as various fruits, three animal heads and hooves, etc. In addition, there are some peach wood cards, peach wood swords, gossip mirrors, copper bells and other things in formation. The reason why Xiao Yuanqing was brought is because as a Taiwanese and a seafarer who often travels at sea, he has rich experience in worshipping and can expand the scope of purchase.
And the people in the family, under the leadership of Gu Yunzhe, looked for the relevant people separately and retrieved the key to the building. Then he commanded the waiters in the hotel, in the local area, found a lot of cleaning hourly workers, and the next day, went to Bainiao Chaofeng Tower to clean.
It's just that at the beginning, those hourly workers and waiters were a little timid when they heard about the ghost building and didn't want to go. However, after Zhang Jianqiang offered five times the salary, and promised to let them out before dark. When everyone heard this promise, they no longer resisted and agreed, and some were willing to introduce others over.
The next day, everyone poured out of the city, went straight to the Hundred Birds Chaofeng Tower, under the onlookers of almost tens of thousands of people, after a day of cleaning, the entire Hundred Birds Chaofeng Building was completely new, without the slightest decadent appearance.
When they were cleaning, Gu Yunzhe saw that on the other side of the road, all the high grounds, walls, and nearby rooftops, as long as there were people standing anywhere, almost all of them were full of people. One by one, it's like visiting a circus, and it's a pleasure to watch. Not only did the police come to maintain order, but they also attracted some small traders and hawkers to sell all kinds of goods and fast food in the crowd, and they made a lot of money. He walked over and asked, only to learn that the previous afternoon, they had heard that the ghost building was going to do something, and they came early in the morning to see the excitement.
Without waiting for the sky to get dark, the cleaning was completed, and then the wages were settled and the hourly workers were dismissed. They began to set up the ritual scene. First of all, put incense at the main entrance, put offerings, hang flags, and sprinkle paper money. Then the red rope began to be hung in the building, and yellow paper and copper bells were hung on the red rope. Later, in the center, with red candles, peach runes, peach swords, and gossip mirrors, a large exorcism array (Qiangang Guardian Array) was placed, and incense ashes were sprinkled around the formation. Finally, several batches of red silk cloth were thrown down from the roof of the building, covering the entire sky over the plaza outside the building.
After this operation, everyone outside can be seen one by one. They had never seen such a big battle, at best, they would put an incense case in the courtyard, and then invite one or two gods and goddesses, holding peach wood swords and soul bells and other magic weapons, and beating for a while.
Maybe it's because the lights are on in the building and there are people walking around in it, and even when they see that the sky is dark and the crescent moon is rising, they still endure the biting cold wind and stand on the side of the road to watch the excitement.
After the arrangement was completed, after Gu Yunzhe and the others had dinner, it was already close to nine o'clock, so they would rest for a while. At about ten o'clock, they began to move.
After standing on the incense table outside the gate, everyone first picked up the incense, lit the incense candles, and bowed respectfully. Subsequently, Gu Yunzhe walked into the building alone, while Zhang Jianqiang led the others to drive the car to the parking lot in the distance, and when he came back, he did not continue to walk into the building, but stood at the edge of the square and looked inside.
Those who watched the excitement were very puzzled, and one of them was thick-skinned, and asked Zhang Jianqiang: "I said this brother, why don't you go in." Could it be that a young man can do it? ”
Zhang Jianqiang glanced back at him and smiled, "That's right." He was alone, and we didn't dare to go in for fear of being hurt by mistake. ”
The man in the back looked left and right, and exchanged glances with the people around him, with a look of disbelief.
Zhang Jianqiang also ignored the opinions of these spectators behind him, what he said was the truth, and the reason why he stopped going in after he came out was what Gu Yunzhe warned them. After all, what he wants to do will be a little big, and I don't know if the people around him will be injured by mistake. Therefore, except for Zihe, let all of them leave this building and stand outside the square, and when they see the unexpected situation, they also have time to prepare.
Gu Yunzhe slowly walked to the middle of the hall formation and motioned for Zihe to pull the gate. Zihe understood, walked to the central control room, and directly pulled off the electric brake of the entire building. When the whole building was plunged into darkness, the people outside who were watching the excitement were in an uproar. A moment later, Zihe walked out of the building and stood next to Youlan outside the square.
Gu Yunzhe sat cross-legged in the formation, breathed for a moment, his eyes opened suddenly, and with a wave of his hand, the candles on the ground used to arrange the formation were all lit up at the same time.
The people outside, seeing this scene, were all shocked and took a deep breath. With my eyes wide open, I used my full strength to see through the open doors and windows, trying to see what was going on.
The orange candlelight, the red rope and yellow paper all over the room, the style of the whole hall immediately became eerie and terrifying. It was still the thick-skinned man who suppressed his breathing a little quickly, and approached Zhang Jianqiang, "The one inside is going to exorcise ghosts, or to summon ghosts." ”
Zhang Jianqiang's heart moved slightly, his childlike heart suddenly rose, he turned around and approached the man, and said in a low voice, "Of course it's an exorcism." However, those ghosts are all hiding, and they need to be summoned first, and then eliminated one by one, so that the inside can be clean. ”
"What, we have to find out first. Then those ghosts won't run out. The man's voice trembled a little as he asked, his face was no longer bloodless at this time, obviously frightened by Zhang Jianqiang's words.
Zhang Jianqiang smacked his lips and groaned, "I don't know." Don't you see that we're all hiding here? If there is an unforeseen situation, such as wind and grass, we can have time to prepare. ”
After listening to his words, the man's heart was already beating into one, and his breathing began to become rapid, "What are you going to prepare?" ”
Zhang Jianqiang leaned closer to his ear again and began to whisper: "Ready, run!" The last word "run" shouted in the man's ear with enough voice.
The man "sighs", his hands are raised, he jumps backwards, and the sweet potato in his hand is also thrown out, and then, screaming, he burrows into the crowd and runs away. The people in the distance were a little unclear, so they became more curious about what was happening inside.
At this moment, the crowd, which had been a little commotionous, once again issued a "Ah! Voice. It turned out that inside the building, Gu Yunzhe's hands began to dance. As he moved, the candles began to swing as well,
Suddenly, Gu Yunzhe's hands shook suddenly, and he saw all the candles on the ground, the flames rose sharply, and a dazzling bright light illuminated the entire hall. Then the incense ash that surrounded the formation seemed to encounter a strong wind, and suddenly began to flutter around the entire formation, forming a whirlwind that was getting higher and higher.
At this moment, there were people in the crowd outside who heard the conversation between Zhang Jianqiang and the two, and when they saw that person was scared away, they were already suspicious. At this moment, I saw the whirlwind in the hall again, and I couldn't hold on any longer. Several people shouted "Hell! ", yelled into the crowd and quickly left. With these people taking the lead, the entire crowd watching the excitement was already nervous, but at this moment, they were all immediately frightened by that shout.
In the brief commotion, all the people who watched the excitement disappeared.
