Chapter 1: The Time Has Come
"Tang Huazang! It's time to hit the road...... Tang Huazang! The time is ...... It's time to hit the road......"
"Get out of here!" At midnight, Tang Huazang sat up from the bed with a frightened expression, and the cold sweat was already soaking through the vest.
He turned on the nightlight at the bedside, staring at the TV that was not turned on in a daze, this dream has been haunting him for almost a month, as long as he lies down to sleep, he will always be awakened in a dream at twelve o'clock in the night by a long-tongued female ghost in a red wedding dress.
At this moment, Tang Huazang was completely sleepy, and in desperation, he turned on the TV......
It was not easy to stay up until dawn, he got up to wash, tidied up and went out.
Due to the poor sleep in the past month, Tang Huazang felt groggy and swayed like a drunk, but he had no way to survive in this city, so he had to go to work.
Passing by the familiar bridge and walking in the hurried crowd, everything seemed so harmonious and orderly, but among the busy figures, there was a thin old man with four words on the cloth sail and the words "Iron Mouth" and "Divine Calculation", which seemed to be different and idle, and his actions seemed a little out of place with everything around him.
Although there were nightmares, Tang Huazang never believed in these Jianghu warlocks, let alone the idea of going to divination, he was still the sentient beings who wore through the stream, and continued to rush on the road with a stagger.
Xu is head was too heavy, Tang Huazang stepped into a pit without paying attention, and the center of gravity instantly became unbalanced, and then he rushed forward directly, saying that it was too late and that was a coincidence! A scantily clad girl who has been staring at her phone is coming up......
Tang Huazang saw the menacing beauty in his panic, and couldn't help but leak a smile that didn't know whether it was happiness or helplessness......
"Hooligans!" The big-breasted girl screamed and exploded, and at the same time, a crisp "snap" exploded on Tang Huazang's face, and at the same time, a red slap mark was left on his face.
Suddenly, those pedestrians who had been in a hurry seemed to have time, and they stopped and watched the development of things in a meaningful way.
At this time, some of these righteous aunts stood up bravely: "Young man, I didn't expect it, seeing that you look quite good, how can you do such a trivial thing in broad daylight?" ”
"Yes, everyone dares to come out and attack their chests in broad daylight, is it lawless!"
"Yes, stop him, I'll call the police! This kind of person must teach him a profound lesson."
The big-breasted girl had put down her phone at the moment, leaning on an aunt's shoulder and sobbing aggrievedly, as if she had been done something......
Tang Huazang tried his best to defend himself, saying that he accidentally stepped on a pit just now and didn't stand firm and pounced forward, but no one believed it, but it was the righteous aunt who said: "Accidentally pounced forward?" Why did you pounce so accurately, why did you pounce on other people's beautiful girls, why didn't you pounce on me? ”
It was a funny argument, but it won the approval of the audience without thinking about it.
"Yes, you pounce on one more and see, if you can pounce on her, we will believe you......"
Tang Huazang looked at his aunt's figure tempered by the years, the big roll of the waves at the end and the makeup like the scene of the car accident, and couldn't help but shiver, and at this moment he was completely sober.
Just as he was in a hurry, he suddenly noticed that through the crowd, there was a little old man covering his face and smiling, and he was about to lose his breath.
"yes, how did you forget this old fellow! Isn't he a testimony for me?"
Thinking of this, he hurriedly said to everyone: "Please believe me, I have witnesses!" ”
As he spoke, he pointed his finger at the old man who was hiding his face and laughing wildly.
Everyone followed his guidance and saw the old fortune teller in a patched yellow robe, although he was dressed in tatters, he was very energetic, and at the same time, there was a hint of treachery on his smiling face.
Seeing that everyone's eyes were on him, the old man couldn't hold back a smile, tidied up his clothes, and put his palms on his chest with great seriousness and shouted, "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable!" Other than that, he didn't come out to explain anything, but instead began to chant cross-legged and closed his eyes like a high-ranking person.
This series of divine operations directly gave Tang Huazang a dry face: "Are people so indifferent now?" ”
Immediately afterwards, everyone looked back at Tang Huazang with the anger of being played, and under this gaze, he felt a chill from his toes to his head: "It seems that he is going to be beaten......"
At this time, an adult man who might have a hot temper or maybe wanted to show off with his big-breasted sister rushed out directly, and Tang Huazang's wail was heard......
In this way, about half a minute passed, maybe he was tired, or it was a little terrifying to look at Tang Hua's face covered in nosebleeds.
The crowd dispersed without scolding, and the big-breasted girl was escorted away by everyone, and when she left, she didn't forget to turn around and scold: "Bah, stinky rascal, don't let me see you, or I will beat you once!" ”
Tang Huazang lay on the ground and looked helplessly at the old fortune teller who pretended to recite the scriptures: "Hey! Uncle, you're too inauthentic, aren't you, it's cool to see me being abused? ”
"Well, cool! Hey, no, it's not good, but I'm helping you, kid" The fortune teller put down his crossed legs with a sincere look.
"Help me?" Tang Huazang, who was still thinking about this, became a little angry when he heard what he said.
"Let me be beaten is to help me?!" He struggled to get up, wiped a handful of nosebleeds, and stared at the old man in a daze.
Looking at the excited Tang Huazang, the old man didn't care, but stretched out his hand to wipe his face, turned around and took out a piece of yellow table paper and began to draw talismans with blood.
"Hey! Old man, I didn't disrespect you, you should respect me anyway! My blood says take it? Tang Huazang was annoyed and confused by the old man's behavior.
After waiting for about a minute, the old man put down the wolf pen in his hand and handed the talisman he had just drawn to Tang Huazang.
"Let you be beaten is to let you borrow everyone's yang energy, and use your blood to mix cinnabar to draw talismans in order to let this purifying spell enhance your blood and yang qi and avoid evil disturbances, believe me to sleep well tonight, if you have any questions, you can come to No. 11 Binjiang Road to find me!" After saying that, the old man packed up his stall and left.
Tang Huazang looked at the back of the old man who left in a dashing manner, and was stunned, "This old man...... How does he know I can't sleep well? Isn't he a fortune teller, and just left...... Out of business? ”
……
Although full of suspicion, Tang Huazang still put the talisman paper in his pocket, there was no way not to litter the waste paper, otherwise it would pollute the environment, he planned to throw it away again where there was a trash can for a while, and then got up and sorted out his clothes and rushed to work at the company.
The tired figure and the reason for being abused and beaten made Tang Huazang feel terrible all day.
Finally returning home after a busy day, Tang Huazang felt a wave of sleepiness, and he fell asleep on the bed before he even had time to eat.
When Tang Huazang was woken up by the alarm clock in the early morning, a long-lost comfort crept into his heart, and he felt that the whole person was full of strength.
This feeling has not been felt for a month, which made Tang Huazang feel very surprised, and subconsciously remembered to take out the talisman that he was originally going to throw away, but he forgot to throw it away because of his poor energy, but when he touched it, he found that the talisman that the old man gave him yesterday was still in his pocket......
"It might just be a coincidence," he didn't think deeply, and slipped the talisman back into his pocket.
Day 2...... Day 3......
Seven days later, Tang Huazang didn't feel anything unusual, he could eat and sleep, but on the night of the eighth day, he dreamed of the red-clothed long-tongued bride again, lying next to him, showing a weird smile on his face, and shouting in his mouth: "Tang Huazang, the time is ......."
Tang Huazang, who was awakened by the nightmare again, first checked the talisman given by the old man, and found that the originally good talisman had all turned into ashes at the moment, and grabbed a black ......
didn't have to think about it, Tang Huazang immediately got up, put on a coat, hurriedly went out, and went straight to No. 11 Binjiang Road......
Because in the dead of night, it is difficult to see a pedestrian taxi on the road, and after waiting for a while, Tang Huazang still did not see the appearance of the taxi, so he decided to walk to find the old man, because this matter could not be delayed any longer.
I don't know if the weather is cooling down or what the reason is, Tang Huazang who was walking on the road felt unusually cold, and it was the kind of cold that pierced the bone marrow.
While walking against the midnight cold wind, and thinking about the female ghost in red, Tang Huazang couldn't help but feel a little anxious in his heart, and his walk turned into a sprint, and then turned into a sprint......
Suddenly, an LED white light crossed, and with a "bang" sound, a taxi braked too late to break down from the lane and hit the sidewalk pole, the driver got out of the car and scolded the taxi company for what broken car, why did it suddenly lose control!
And Tang Huazang stood in place in a daze, looking at the driver in front of him complaining, the cold sweat of the vest seeping out from the bottom of his coat, because the car hit the place where he had just run, and the moment he turned around, he clearly saw the female ghost sitting in the car in the dream smiling strangely at him......
At this moment, Tang Huazang was completely crazy and turned on the running mode.
"Hey~! Brother ...... "The eldest brother of the driver behind him was still talking about something, but at this moment, Tang Huazang was no longer in the mood to listen to the driver's next content, because he knew that there might not be much time left for him.
After a while, Tang Huazang felt unusually tired, and even breathing seemed very difficult and cramped, and he secretly blamed himself for not exercising well, and he actually had to drop the chain at such a critical moment.
But he gritted his teeth and continued to run forward, a chill hit his shoulder, his back felt cold, and then his neck felt like it was wrapped in ice.
This reminded him of scenes from some thriller movies, isn't this how it feels like a female ghost to climb up, he remembered that when he was a child, the old people used to say that he couldn't turn back, so he continued to run forward.
"Hey, hey, hey~ The hour has come, you can't run!" An eerie voice came from behind his ears.
"Can't turn back, can't go back!" Tang Hua secretly warned himself in his heart.
"Do you think I can't deal with you? Hey, hey~" The strange voice came again.
Then the right shoulder felt cold and piercing, the cold made people numb, Tang Huazang's right shoulder was cut by the female ghost, and a strong pain came, but Tang Huazang did not look back and continued to walk forward firmly, and pretended that nothing had happened.
"I know, you can hear and you can see it, don't pretend to look back and see if your shoulder is still there?" The female ghost continues to intimidate.
Tang Huazang was still unmoved, and then the female ghost began to be annoyed and angry, "If you don't look at me, I will eat your left shoulder again until I eat you whole!" ”
Then, a sharp pain came from his left shoulder, which made Tang Huazang's facial muscles twitch, and his expression was distorted.
Cramped breathing, aching shoulders, heavy body, and frightened emotions all tormented Tang Huazang.
"Damn! Since you don't want to live, I'll kill you, it's a big deal to find a new Ding Furnace! The female ghost began to growl.
Tang Huazang looked at No. 11 Binjiang Road in front of him, the pain on the top of his head made him a little unable to support it, and gradually became more and more painful, anyway, he was dead left and right, and immediately his heart immediately stimulated the only remaining strength in his body and directly slammed his head into the gate of No. 11 Binjiang Road.
At this moment, the loud sound of the rolling shutter door opening was also like ripples in the air, and before the sound was completely extinguished, a figure wearing a patched yellow robe gradually came into view......
