Chapter 13: Replacing the Dead Paper Man
Is there a yin and yang shop on Taihang Mountain? There is a high probability that there is.
This place is close to Mount Wutai, and there are monks on Mount Wutai. Dharma monks need some special materials to make prayer beads, special fabrics to make robes, and some outsiders to provide information.
Of course, colleagues outside sometimes come over with dirty things to ask the monks to overtake, such as the third uncle who took Xiao Yan'er's soul to Wutai Mountain.
If there is a demand, there are naturally people who do this business. It's just that I've just entered the society and don't know where it is.
Boss Wu hesitated for a moment and said, "Let's go to Zanhuang County!" There is a barren mountain near Zhangshiyan, and there is a family on the mountain that should have goods. If you take a detour, it will be delayed for about three or four hours. ”
I looked at the sky and said nonchalantly, "You're in charge." ”
In summer, the nights are short, and it is already past eleven o'clock, and if you delay for three or four hours, it will be early in the morning, and then you will rush to the mass grave, and when you arrive, I am afraid that it will be dawn.
Zhong Kui eats something like a ghost mirror, and he must take it at night, so that he can buy me a day. What if the third uncle senses that something is wrong and catches up? Wouldn't this trip to the mass grave be spared?
Zhangshiyan is a scenic area, but the yin and yang shop that Boss Wu said is not in the scenic area, but on a hill next to it.
This hill has not been developed by the scenic spot, but the mountain is steep, not much worse than the Zhangshiyan Scenic Area.
We drove halfway up the mountain, and the road in front of us became a bluestone road, so we had to abandon the car and move forward. I looked at the soul-attracting lamp on the top of the mountain and reminded, "Boss Wu, don't go into the black shop." ”
Most of the people who open yin and yang shops are people who abide by the rules, they don't mix with messy things, they only do things that transform the souls of the dead, collect merits, and do business with their peers in their spare time to make some money.
But there are also black shops that specialize in pit people's lives, and this group of people is a cancer of society, whether you are a living person or a dead person, you will lose your life if you go in.
Of course, most of the black shops don't last long, some are killed by customers, and some are so notorious that no one wants to do business with him.
This is also what my grandfather told me, if you strayed into a black store, it would be a very dangerous thing, and who died or who lived depends on their own ability.
Boss Wu laughed and said, "You also know about the black shop?" But don't worry, the owner of this shop is dealing with the monks of Wutai Mountain, although he is a little greedy for money, but his reputation is still in the past. ”
I listened to him say this, and I also put down my snack a little. Anyway, those who do what they do are living with their heads in their hands, and they can be careful.
This bluestone road is not long, and after walking for more than ten minutes, I saw a wooden house appear in front of me.
Under the eaves of the wooden house, a soul-attracting lamp hangs, indicating that the shop also does the business of the dead. The inside of the shop was very dim, and through the window, you could vaguely see a few shadowy figures.
Although I had heard of the Yin Yang Shop, it was only in the book and my grandfather's dictation, and it was the first time I actually came to this place.
It is said that here, you can see fellow exorcists, as well as spirits hidden in the mountains. If you're lucky, you might even see corpses running to buy something.
It is said that in a yin and yang shop in Xiangxi, there is a female corpse attracted by the soul-attracting lamp, and she comes to buy things every day.
Later, the shopkeeper noticed that something was wrong, so he followed the female corpse, and it turned out that the female corpse had given birth to a child in the coffin. Although his mother died, she had not yet walked the Huangquan Road.
So the female corpse went to the Yin and Yang shop every day, exchanged her funeral goods for milk, and fed her newborn son.
That is, the boss is clever, and he knows that the female corpse always changes milk, so there must be something strange, so he chose to follow.
If it is seven days late, as soon as the night of returning to the soul is over, the female corpse will either be forcibly taken away by the ghost, or she will be angry and turn into a zombie.
The shopkeeper took advantage of the time to save the child and overlive the soul, which was a wish.
It's just that the child was fed by the female corpse when he was born, and the yin qi entered the body, so that he is still weak and sickly, and he is a frequent visitor to the hospital.
This story made me curious about the Yin and Yang shop, but my grandfather told me that if it wasn't a store that knew the roots, it was better not to mess around.
After all, this place is very bad, if the eight characters are not hard, and you mistakenly enter it, you will be unlucky, everything will not go well, and you will be riddled with diseases, so that you will die with a whimper.
The Wu brothers were also bold, and they pushed the door in without hesitation. As soon as I opened the door, a musty smell hit my face, and I frowned.
This is the place where food is not sold, otherwise I will have to vomit.
The Wu family brothers also frowned, but still stepped in firmly, and when they came in, he also gave me a meaningful look, which should have warned me not to run around.
He had a guy in his hand, so I naturally didn't dare to run around, so as soon as I gritted my teeth and stomped my feet, I obediently followed in.
After entering, I was surprised to find that there were many guests inside, they sat on the table and chairs in groups, some looked up at us curiously, and some lowered their heads and said nothing, as if they were indifferent to anything.
Boss Wu looked around and whispered, "Don't look around, some guests are not people." ”
If you are not human, you are naturally evil. I was secretly horrified in my heart, and when my eyes swept over, I found that there were a few guests whose figures were erratic, and their faces seemed to be covered with a layer of black gas, and I couldn't see them clearly.
This is the first time I've seen this kind of evil.
When I was a child, I had a white-haired old stiff on the roof of my house, and a few days ago, I also saw Xiao Yan'er hanging on the Mountain of the Female Dead, just before, I was almost bitten to death by a golden immortal corpse.
But this is the first time I've seen such an ethereal thing.
These guests should be lonely souls wandering in the mountains, taking advantage of the night to come to the Yin and Yang store to exchange something.
Wu Lao Er pulled me and said viciously: "Don't think about causing trouble!" If you dare to mess around, I'll be the first to kill you! Do you understand? ”
The brightness of my eyes immediately dimmed, and then I secretly cursed in my heart, these two brothers are quite vigilant.
Just now, I really wanted to cause trouble, create some trouble for the Wu brothers, and then run away. Now it seems that it is not working.
Boss Wu gave me a meaningful look, and then patted the iron guy on his waist menacingly. After warning me, he said in a deep voice, "Boss! ”
An old voice came from behind the counter: "Wushan is crying and mourning? Two surnamed Wu? ”
Boss Wu nodded and said, "Is there a dead paper man?" ”
An old man with messy hair suddenly came out from behind the counter, and he said impatiently: "If you want to replace the dead paper man, just wait there, it's out of stock today, and my old man is in a hurry." ”
After he finished speaking, he went behind the counter again, and then there was a small sound of shredding, probably in a hurry.
Boss Wu frowned, and was about to speak, but he heard someone next to him laugh and said, "My friend is also here to buy a substitute for the dead paper man?" That's really unfortunate, we also ordered a batch, and the boss is rushing to make it. ”
