Chapter 25: [The Stone Statue That Collects Money and Doesn't Do Anything]
On the first floor of the house,
Lu Zhengyi surrounded the stone statue and observed.
A stone statue about fifty centimeters high is placed in the center of the living room, and it is not very delicately carved.
Compared with the angular artworks of modern times, it is more than a little rough, as if it were a child's handiwork.
Except for that faceless face,
On this stone statue, whether it is the clothes on the body or the accessories on the body that represent his Buddhist identity, they are all very blurred.
Clothes don't look like clothes, and Buddha crowns don't look like Buddha crowns......
If it hadn't been placed next to the bronze statue of the Bodhisattva by Chang Zhengwei's mother, which had preconceived notions of identity, it would have been placed on the side of the street or in the wild, and it would have been easily mistaken for an ordinary stone.
After walking around the stone statue twice, Lu Zhengyi stopped in front of the stone statue again.
Because Chang Zhengwei was only recently disturbed by the stone statue, he hallucinated.
And for a long time after returning home, he was unaffected.
So before and after the hallucination appeared, he must have made some move to the stone statue and triggered the condition.
Regarding this point, Lu Zhengyi had already asked him clearly.
Before and after Chang Zhengwei's hallucination, the only conscious action was to bow to the stone statue.
Of course, it is also possible that he has offended the statue in some unconscious behavior.
"Smack."
After standing still in front of the stone statue, Lu Zhengyi clasped his hands together and gave a round of applause.
Then he closed his eyes and began to pray.
Whether consciously or unconsciously, he starts with the possibility he first understands.
But with this attempt, the stone statue in front of him began to change.
"Knock knock—"
It was as if the sound of someone hitting the ground with a stone kept ringing in my ears.
Lu Zhengyi opened his eyes, and in front of him, the stone statue kept trembling.
The stone statue, which was obviously lying flat, began to shake back and forth, left and right, as if the ground was uneven.
This made Lu Zhengyi quickly stop his movements.
His floor is tiled, and he can't stand this stone statue tossing like this.
"Lu, Director Lu."
Next to him, Chu Renmei, who couldn't even move the stone statue just now, hurriedly said, "I think it's because of your great powers, and this stone statue can't stand your worship." ”
"Fools can see it."
Lu Zhengyi replied casually, his attention always on the stone statue.
This stone statue can give people hallucinations, and it must have a certain spirituality.
But it's not like a ghost like Chu Renmei, who can speak.
"Come on, you try."
Lu Zhengyi said to Chu Renmei next to him, "Since it can't stand me worshipping, then you can try it." ”
"Ah, this ......"
Chu Renmei grabbed her hair and hesitated and didn't dare to stand closer.
Just now, she had already tried.
This stone statue is indeed a bit extraordinary, no matter how hard you try, you can't lift it.
Now, the great god Lu Zhengyi worships, but this stone statue can't stand it.
But wait, this little ghost comes to worship, maybe this strong and weak identity should be reversed.
"It's okay, I'm watching."
Lu Zhengyi reluctantly approached the stone statue, raised his palm, and placed it next to it, "If something happens later, I'll shoot it immediately." ”
"Well, be serious."
Chu Renmei floated pitifully and showed her form in front of the stone statue, "I am the only resident actor in your crew." ”
"If you miss me, it will be difficult to find such a good actor in the future."
"When the time comes, there will be no ghosts to help you make money."
Lu Zhengyi frowned, "Don't talk nonsense, hurry up." ”
"Yes, yes, yes."
Chu Renmei quickly closed her eyes, folded her hands, and began to pray.
But after a long time, she opened her eyes again and asked very carefully, "So, what should I pray for?" ”
"Everything."
Lu Zhengyi was a little impatient, "Just pray that Xiaole will live a long life and be in good health." ”
He didn't believe that the statue had such power.
"Yes, yes, yes, I have to say goodbye to Xiaole."
Chu Renmei said, but she just wanted to close her eyes, but she regretted it, "But...... Director Lu, I don't know if this stone statue is a bad thing or a good thing, what if it affects Xiaole? ”
She is a ghost, and she knows very well how troublesome an evil creature like herself can be if she gets entangled.
So, she didn't want her son to suffer this.
"Then pray for me, and wish me a long life...... Well, it's okay to be healthy. ”
Lu Zhengyi replied casually.
"Director Lu, you are so good, you must be in good health."
At this moment, Chu Renmei has no opinion.
She closed her eyes very earnestly, folded her hands, and began to pray.
That pious appearance is a little less ghostly and a little more human.
The time for Chu Renmei's prayer is not short.
First, she earnestly recited the content of her prayer, and then she shook her palms, bent down and bowed, knelt down, and kowtowed.
And when Chu Renmei stood up again and opened her eyes.
Her body trembled suddenly, she took several steps back one after another, stared at her with wide eyes, and stammered, "Lu, Director Lu, what do you want to do?" ”
Lu Zhengyi's palm stopped on the stone statue and asked expressionlessly, "What do you see?" ”
"Lu, Director Lu?"
Chu Renmei looked at the front of her in confusion, and then tilted her head and looked at the stone statue, "Two Lu Dao? ”
"Got it."
Lu Zhengyi nodded knowingly, and placed his palm on the stone statue.
Suddenly, Chu Renmei stopped retreating, "Hey, Director Lu, you're gone." ”
"Go on."
Lu Zhengyi seemed to have understood the ability of the stone statue, and continued to command, "Next, you take the potato chips and fruits over there, or the sacrifice next to the land lord in the corner, and pray again." ”
Although Chu Renmei was puzzled, she still did it honestly.
When she tried to pray with potato chips and fruit again, there was no second Lu Zhengyi in front of her.
Then, under the guidance of Lu Zhengyi's eyes, Chu Renmei carefully took the sacrificial rice from the plastic bag next to the land lord.
She lit the sacrificial shrine and continued to pray.
To be honest, the picture of a female ghost holding a sacrificial stone statue is very strange.
But again, nothing happened.
"Pretty realistic."
Lu Zhengyi looked at the stone statue with interest, stretched out his hand and touched its head, "Just pray and don't prepare offerings, so that people can see what they fear in their hearts." ”
"I've prepared offerings for you, and you're not doing anything bad, but it doesn't seem to do any good?"
"It's not appropriate, is it?"
After three attempts, he could probably understand the stone statue's abilities.
If you only pray and do not make offerings, it will allow the worshippers to see those who are afraid in their hearts.
For example, Chu Renmei that Chang Zhengwei is afraid of, and Chu Renmei is afraid of herself.
As for why the statue shook so much when he came to pray.
Probably because of what he was afraid of, this stone statue was more afraid than himself.
But this seems a little unreasonable.
I didn't pay for it, I made a request directly, but you didn't want to, and I gave a small punishment, which is understandable.
But I paid first, and then I made a request, but you still didn't react at all, which is a bit of a matter of collecting money and not doing anything.
"Director Lu, I understand what you mean."
Next to him, Chu Renmei suddenly spoke, "I remember that Teacher Chang said that the reason why his mother invited this Buddha statue from the temple was because he made a horror movie, so he wanted to exorcise evil spirits." ”
"Then the power of this Buddha statue, could it be to drive away evil spirits?"
"So after I made an offering, this Buddha statue did not react."
After a pause, she added, "As for why I wasn't expelled, could it be...... Because I am in a relationship with others. ”
"Why don't you come and try it?"
