Chapter 11: The Five Paths

The photo burned for no reason, as if it was resisting Chen's initial contact, and the flames instantly devoured everything about the man in the photo!

Huang Yongfa reached out and grabbed the photo, and hurriedly slapped the flame on it, this is an old photo, extinguishing the fire with water will definitely melt all the image coating on it, but the fire cannot be extinguished without water.

When Chen Chu talked about Huang Yongfa's parents, Huang Yongfa took out the photo and seemed to "let go of the past", and the panic on his face when he patted the photo at this moment reflected that he still did not let go of the past and was still thinking about his relatives.

The female ghost Jiang Xue understood Huang Yongfa's mood very well, and came over to extinguish the fire together, puffing out a breath of yin qi with her cheeks, who knew that the flame was not extinguished but burned even more, just a few breaths, and the photo was burned half before it was extinguished, leaving only the woman with the baby in her arms left alone.

"I'm sorry."

Chen didn't explain, just apologized.

Huang Yongfa gently wiped the scorched black marks on the photo with his hand, and his voice was a little hoarse: "I'm a little tired, let's go back first." His shoulders trembled slightly, and he gave the order to evict the guest.

Chen Chuchu and Lin Umbrella glanced at each other.

Lin Yu took out a business card and handed it to Chen Qiqi, who put it on the table: "If there is anything you can come here to find me, the problem of ghasts and ghosts is not very big." ”

The words seemed to be said to Huang Yongfa, but Chen Chuchu's eyes looked at Jiang Xue next to him.

The two stood up, pushed open the door and left, it was useless to say anything at this time, neither of them was a person who was good at saying comforting words.

Downstairs.

At the staircase, Lin Umbrella sighed and said: "This person has a deep obsession in his heart, and his body is also very strange, obviously full of dead qi is no different from a dead person, but he still looks like a living person......"

Chen Qiqi said: "That's because the female ghost next to him overdrew the yang shou of the next life in advance and forcibly extended his life for him." ”

Lin Umbrella was surprised: "Impossible, the life span of a living person is limited, where can it be exchanged like goods, not to mention overdraft, I think this female ghost is not simple." ”

Chen Chu smiled: "It doesn't matter, all the things I want to know, the female ghost will automatically come to the door and tell me." ”

Lin Umbrella suddenly realized that the business card he left behind was for the female ghost Jiang Xue, and joked: "If my brother didn't know me tonight, wouldn't he want to sleep on the streets?" ”

Chen Chu smiled but did not speak.

Lin Umbrella asked, "Then what are we going to do next?" ”

Chen Chuchu straightened his collar and said: "There is one thing I haven't done for a long time, I want to go and see, I'll go to your side later, if the female ghost comes early, leave her for a while." ”

Lin Umbrella shrugged: "Got it." ”

It's late at night, but there is no shortage of night taxis.

A taxi stopped just as it happened, and Chen Chu was a little surprised, this driver was the same one who had taken them to the Kowloon Walled City ruins two hours earlier. The driver obviously recognized Chen Chuchu: "Sir, you haven't rested yet, where are you going?" ”

Chen Chuchu sat in the taxi lane: "What temples are there around here?" ”

The driver was stunned for a moment, and looked at Chen Chuchu in the rearview mirror: "Sir, the Midyear Festival has only been more than an hour, don't make this joke, the closest temple to here is the City God Temple." ”

"Then go to the City God Temple, don't worry, I am a living person."

"Okay."

Taxis weave around the sprawling island city, and the driver quickly drops him off in front of the Temple of the City God, a somewhat remote location in Mong Kok.

Chen initially paid the fare, and as soon as he got out of the car, the driver rubbed the accelerator wheel against the ground, and ran away as if he were making a gorgeous U-turn......

This guy still thinks of him as a ghost.

Chen Chuchu smiled lightly, looked up at the City God Temple in front of him, it covers an area of not much, it should be about thirty square meters.

The walls are made of rectangular stone strips, without plastering wall plaster, the roof is a red tile structure, and there are decorations such as goldfish bells in the drainage place, which looks like there is a simple and restrained delicacy.

Next to the gate hangs the opening hours of the City God Temple.

Chen Qiqi's body spiritualized and walked directly through the door panel, and what caught his eye was a statue wearing a golden robe and an official-like hat sitting in the central shrine, which was the main god of the City God Temple. The space in the temple is quite spacious, surrounded by orange-red light bulbs, and the environment is dim, and ordinary people can only barely see the layout when they come in.

He looked around, in addition to the main book and the Yin official around the city god, the temple also enshrined the five gods and the land lord, but the land lord is common, and these five gods are not common.

Wutong God belongs to the "God of Wealth" ghost god, in the Song Dynasty was considered to be the body of the mandrill, in the Ming Dynasty is the ghost of Liuzhou, in the eyes of the people although not the orthodox God of Wealth, there are not many places to worship, but it is a ghost god that can really bring good luck. It is said that the god of five tongs looks like a red-haired one-horned ghost, but his heart is not bad, and if he encounters a poor family, he will cast a spell to make his rice bowl at home inexhaustible rice.

Chen Chuchu picked up the plastic bag on the table and opened it, took out a handful of incense and lit it, and then respectfully saluted from the City God to the Yin Guan, inserted incense and said: "Xiaodao Chen Chuqi, a disciple of Longhu Mountain, met the treasure land on the road, saw that there was turbidity in the heavens and the earth, and there was chaos in the underworld, so I came to visit the gods of the City God and asked for a reason......

The original plot of this world, the ghost black brother disappeared inexplicably for more than 20 years after his death, and his appearance was more terrifying than normal ghosts, killing ordinary people, killing masters, swallowing ghosts, wantonly trampling on life and death, but I didn't see any yin to come up and arrest him, which is very abnormal in itself.

The incense was smoky, and there seemed to be a thick layer of fog in the temple.

Chen Chuchu knelt on the futon, maintained Taoist etiquette, looked at the statue of the god of the city god, and waited for half an hour without seeing the apparition.

He picked up the stick holder on the table, circled the incense head three times to ask the question again, and then shook it with a clatter, and soon a bamboo stick slowly stretched out and fell to the ground.

Syllable......

Before he could pick it up, the bamboo sticks crackled with flames, and there was no flame, but the bamboo sticks had quickly turned black and turned into fly ashes.

Chen Chuchu: "......"

When he was at Huang Yongfa's house, he touched the photo and burned, which was understandable, maybe Huang Yongfa's father had some special identity and was banned in some way.

But now in the Temple of the Gods, this kind of thing is still happening?

Suddenly, there was a feeling that the world seemed to reject him.

At this moment, a hoarse and weak voice came from the corner: "Yes...... It's Longhu Mountain...... disciples...... This generation, unbelievable...... Really? ”

Click, click, click.

The sound of the wood distorted, I saw the neck of the Wutong God standing on the altar making a tooth-aching grinding sound, its head turned stiffly, and the pupils made of unknown stones reflected Chen Chuchu's figure: "You...... Come closer, I'...... I'll take a good look at you...... It's too far away to see clearly. ”

This Wutong god was wearing a red official uniform (Song Dynasty), wearing an official hat, his hair and beard were red, his face was hideous, there was a feeling of Zhong Kui, and his limbs were twisted back and forth with his neck, like a puppeteer, and his voice became more and more urgent: "Come and show me...... Show me you! Come on! ”
