Chapter 1: July 14
July belongs to Kun, which is the most yin hexagram in the gossip.
Most people believe that July 14 is the day when the door of ghosts is wide open, so they rarely go out at night.
Actually, this is just a one-sided idea.
In fact, on the fifteenth day of the seventh month, before 11 o'clock at midnight on the 14th day of the seventh month, the door of the ghost was opened and closed.
According to ancient books, this time is the deadline for the ghosts of wandering the world to return to the underworld.
The day when the ghost gate is officially opened should be the first day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar. On this night, the nine Great Yin Acupoints in the world will be opened, and all the ghosts will be able to come and go freely, and each will enjoy the offerings prepared for them in the world until the fifteenth day of the seventh month.
If the ghost misses this time to go back, he can only stay in the human world and wait for the ghost gate to reopen next year before returning to the underworld.
Every year, there are always some ghosts who are greedy for all kinds of things in the world and miss the return time, and the ghosts who stay are mainly the new ghosts of the year.
Because the souls of the newly dead are still inextricably linked with the human world, and they have not fully accepted the reality of death, especially those who died unexpectedly or died of young illness generally return to the world in the first year after death with a strong attachment to their families, and those who have been unjustly killed will be full of resentment and unwilling to accept their fate, and for various reasons, they do not hesitate to lose their soul power to stay in the world.
The underworld generally turns a blind eye to the stay of these first-year new souls, and as long as they don't do too much evil in the world, they generally go with them.
However, for old ghosts or new ghosts that endanger the world, ghosts will be dispatched to arrest and bring them to justice, so as to maintain the balance and order of the yin and yang worlds.
South, End City, July 14, 7 p.m.
Fan Wu drove out of the company and rushed home, today is July 14, I have heard since I was a child that you should not wander outside on Halloween night, it is easy to run into evil spirits.
Although Fan Wu didn't believe in these ghosts and gods, he saw many aunts and aunts on the corners of the streets, flower beds and alleys and other places along the way, and he couldn't help but think of the Hong Kong-made horror movies of the Yinyang Road series that he had watched before, and he suddenly felt a little hairy in his heart.
There are not many cars on the road tonight, so I drove a little faster unconsciously, thinking that there must be no ghosts in the world, but we can't hinder the aunts and aunts from worshiping their ancestors and doing their filial piety.
"I'm not afraid, I'm just hungry. Fan Wu gave himself a positive hint.
There were still two streets to go, and Fan Wu breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
From a distance, I saw a beautiful woman crossing the road on the zebra crossing in front of me, as a single dog who loves her breasts and legs, no, it should be a dedication to her job, and of course the five good young people who respect the old and love the young should stop and give way.
The car stopped in front of the zebra crossing, watching the beautiful woman in front of me walk by, it was really eye-catching.
That's a girl who looks a little literary temperament, looking at the side is about twenty, with short ear-length hair, wearing a retro shirt, a bit like a college student during the Republic of China, it is the kind of female college student of the Republic of China who marches on the street in film and television dramas, is it a student from a nearby university?
The girl smiled politely when she passed by the front of the car, the smile was very beautiful and charming, until the girl had left the road Fan Wu came back to her senses, remembered that she was still in the middle of the road, and hurriedly started the car and continued to go home.
The front turn is back to the community, the last traffic light, and the red light for more than 90 seconds, the idle point is driving the radio, and it actually puts the appropriate "waiting for you to come back", the song is a good song, but it is still strange to listen to tonight, Fan Wu quickly turned it off.
I was bored and looked around, there was only one car on the road, and because there was a new real estate construction site at the turn, and the road equipment along the route had to be repaved, there were no cameras on this section of the road now.
I'd like to go straight to the lights, but let's wait, and be careful tonight.
"Damn, why is it so long for 90 seconds! I'm not afraid, I'm just hungry. ”
“5... 4... 3... 2... 1”
Finally, the green light came on, I started the car, and I got to the turn with a foot of gas, and it was fine.
"Neurotic, scare yourself. "Nothing happened, Fan Wu said self-deprecatingly.
Turn right and go back to the community after the construction site, the construction site where many mud trucks enter and exit on weekdays is very quiet tonight, but Fan Wu still habitually slows down the speed when passing through the entrance and exit of the construction site, safety first.
The inner street in front of the community is relatively remote, the construction site is dusty and bad, the residents of the community generally enter and exit from the side door on the other side, and only people who drive here will go, especially at night There will be no pedestrians, let alone today.
Fan Wu, who was driving slowly, saw that there were pedestrians on the road, although the pedestrians he saw were on the other side of the road, but Fan Wu was also a little nervous, but why did this person seem to have seen it somewhere?
Take a closer look, I went, and I really saw it!
Although it is a little distance, and the drizzle is not very clear, but why does her body shape and dress look so much like the temperament beauty who crossed the road just now?
But it can't be, how can she drive faster than I do? And she's standing there staring at me!
Unknowingly, the car drove to the entrance and exit of the transport vehicle at the construction site, and Fan Wu, who was squinting and observing, did not notice that a large truck full of rebar was reversing out of the construction site.
The speed of the truck was not fast, but somehow it just hit the right side of Fan Wu's car, and the truck stopped immediately after hitting it, and Fan Wu also braked urgently.
"It's dangerous!"
Fan Wu, who was just about to get out of the car to see the situation, suddenly heard a tooth-aching sound of metal rubbing.
It turned out that due to the huge inertia, the steel bars on the truck slipped outward from the rear of the car, and went straight down from the roof of Fan Wu's car and the right side of the body, and the car became a hedgehog in an instant, and Fan Wu lost consciousness directly before he even had time to untie the seat belt.
Fan Wu, who woke up, struggled out of the broken car window in the crack of the steel bar in a daze, except for the special pain that he felt when his head was hit, he was lucky that his body was not injured, and even his clothes were not damaged, which was a miracle.
However, there must be demons when things are abnormal!
Fan Wu, who had a splitting headache, didn't care about thinking so much, so he staggered to the side of the road and sat down against Huaji, and took a breath before talking.
After resting for about ten minutes, I slowly came to my senses, and my head didn't hurt so much.
The first time I thought of calling the police, but the mobile phone was in the car, and it was estimated that it was impossible to get it by looking at the situation of the car at the scene, but how did I climb out of the car just now? Looking at the density of the steel bar, there is no space at all, it is too strange.
What's even more strange is that after such a big car accident, why did no one come out of the construction site? Even if no one was on duty, what about the driver? Did he run away?
"Damn, you're finished, you dare to hit and run!"
There is no way, there is no one on the road, so I can only go back to the community and ask the security guard to help call the police.
No, what about the woman on the other side? I looked up and saw that the other side of the road was empty, and there was no one.
Fan Wu had to walk back to his community to find the security guard on duty to help call the police, however, there was no one in the gate duty room, and there was no one in the parking lot duty room.
It's so unlucky, did they all just go to the bathroom? Or are they lazy? I'll have to complain tomorrow.
Then I had to go home and call the police again, and when I got into the elevator, I felt severe pain, so much so that Fan Wu was in a trance, and he returned home in a daze and lay on the bed for half an hour before he gradually woke up.
Fan Wu, who was in a better state, immediately called the police, and immediately went downstairs to the scene of the accident to wait for the traffic police.
"How can you be faster than me, it's so efficient!" Fan Wu thought as he walked towards the scene.
"Don't go!" a gentle female voice came from behind.
Fan Wu looked back, heh, isn't this the girl who crossed the street just now?
"Hello, beauty, are you talking to me?" Fan Wu didn't expect to see her here, did she live here too?
"Yes, Mr. Fan, I told you not to go over there. The girl replied.
"How do you know my surname is Fan, why did you tell me not to go over there, that was my accident scene, I didn't go to see the excitement, I am the party, and I must cooperate with the traffic police. ”
"It's useless if you go, the traffic police won't listen to you. ”
"Don't listen to me, do you listen to you? Oh, when I was hit just now, you were across the road, then you should have seen the process of the incident, you come with me, let's go and explain the process to the traffic police. Fan Wucai remembered that the girl should have also witnessed the accident.
"Alas, it's better for you to go and see, you don't need me to talk nonsense, I'll wait for you here. The girl said.
"Whatever you want, the accident is so clear, and you don't need to testify to anything, but what do you mean by waiting for me here? ”
"Anyway, you should go over and have a look first, and then come back, you will definitely come back to me with a lot of questions, or I will go to your house and wait for you first." ”
"Alas, what kind of mess, so good-looking, actually has a problem with your brain?" Fan Wu ignored this strange-talking girl and ran over by himself.
There were already five or six people standing at the scene to watch the excitement, the traffic police took pictures on the periphery to collect evidence, and the fire and ambulance personnel dismantled the car in the middle to save people.
When Fan Wu arrived at the scene, he happened to see the firefighters break the car door, and the ambulance personnel lifted the driver out of the car and put him on the road for first aid.
Looking at this scene, Fan Wumeng circled, as if it was himself who was carried out for first aid?
Watching the car being demolished, watching yourself being first aided, watching yourself being declared dead, everything was like a dream.
"That driver is me, so who am I? ghost? I'm dead?" Thinking about this sudden question, Fan Wu returned home in a trance.
"You're back!" said the girl as she entered the door, sitting comfortably on the couch.
"Well, I'm back. Hmm, why did I come back? This is my house, how did you get in?" Fan Wu immediately came to his senses.
"It doesn't matter how I got in, did you find out?" said the girl without a hint of emotion.
"What do you mean?"
"I'm dizzy, haven't you noticed you're dead? You're a ghost now. The girl rolled her eyes slightly.
"I just found out, but I haven't been able to fully accept it, is there really a ghost in this world?" said the girl, Fan Wu confirmed that she might really be dead.
"I said no, do you believe it?" the girl continued to roll her eyes.
"I believed before, and I ...... now Alas, I'm a ghost, aren't you afraid of ghosts, are you also a ghost?" Fan Wu began to accept the fact that he was dead, and began to wonder about the identity of the girl and the purpose of finding herself.
"I'm not a ghost, I'm just not afraid of ghosts, especially a little ghost like you who just died, hehe. The girl seemed to think of something funny, and couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Who are you?Who are you?Do you know me?What are you looking for me?" Fan Wu thought about it, or find out the girl's origin first.
"Why are there so many questions, I just said that you must have a lot of questions for me. Come one by one, my surname is Zhong, and my single name is Aoi. I'm not a person, because I'm not a person at all, and I didn't know you before today, I should say that I don't know you in this life, it's not that I'm looking for you, it's my grandfather who asked me to come to you. ”
"What the hell? Except for the name, everything else is said but not said. What? Your name is Zhong Kui?"Fan Wu became a ghost and began to consider whether the ghosts and gods he had heard before was really true, and when he heard Zhong Kui, he immediately thought of Zhong Kui, the ghost hunter.
"I'm the Aoi of the Geranium, not the Zhong Kui. The girl said with an uneducated expression.
"Oh, that's good! I'm scared to death, I thought that I had just met a ghost hunter, then I was really unlucky to get home, anyway, I don't know if there is Zhong Kui, maybe it's just made up by everyone. ”
"He's my grandfather!"
"Your grandfather? Your grandfather is Zhong Kui? Ghost hunting Zhong Kui? He has offspring?" This time Fan Wu was really embarrassed and shocked, and he didn't know what to do with his expression.
"Of course there is! you are stupid!" Zhong Kui said helplessly.
"Then what do you mean when you say that you are not human? Also, you said that grandpa asked you to come to me, what is the matter with Zhong Kui Tianshi looking for me?"
"People die as ghosts, ghosts die as stings! I'm sting, grandpa asked me to come to you to ask me to help you die, twice!"
