Chapter 1 Buy One Get One Free Lingbao
"Alas! here it is again" Wang Lin, who was still awake in his sleep, sighed in his heart, his body was tightly bound, and it seemed that the blood had stopped flowing.
Although he was accustomed to it, Wang Lin still looked at the ceiling a little nervously, and a faint figure slowly emerged from the ceiling. She was wearing a student uniform from the Republic of China, a blue cloth blouse and a black pleated skirt, eyebrows-length bangs combed with two black and thick braids, blurred facial features, and no feet could be seen under the floating skirt, slowly floating down.
Wang Lin clenched his fists, trying hard to shout, to turn over, to wake up quickly, and to end this terrifying scene as soon as possible. People are awake when they have nightmares, and their surroundings are as clear as when they are awake, and anyone who has had nightmares has experienced this feeling.
The figure was getting closer and closer, and Wang Lin obviously felt that every time he saw her, it was much clearer and more condensed than before, unlike the almost transparent phantom at the beginning, "Today's nightmare is longer than usual, why haven't you woken up yet?" Wang Lin thought anxiously.
"Ah!" At the most nervous moment in his heart, Wang Lin finally shouted out, his hands and feet no longer had a sense of restraint, but they were still a little sore, and he raised his right hand with great effort and wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead. Whew! let out a long breath, the scene was still his own room, but the female ghost that slowly floated down had disappeared, and Wang Lin woke up by himself.
After this toss, Wang Lin was completely sleepy, turned on the light, picked up his mobile phone and read the novel, diluted the terrifying emotions, and then came to the light of the day, and swept away the terrifying palpitations in his heart with the rising sun. There will be such a few days a month to have this dream, no matter how to change the place of residence has no effect, from time to time nightmares have been haunting him for nearly eight years, during which his parents have also led him to try various methods, Chinese medicine, Western medicine, charlatans are useless, and slowly get used to this state.
Nightmares have seriously affected his life, because of the frequent bad rest, the mind is always dizzy and not clear, eight years of chaos, school grades plummeted, after work to do things always go wrong, and luck is also plummeting, good things can't catch up, go to the heel of the card, ride a bicycle off the chain and other small troubles constantly.
"Lei Jun, the good buddy who lived with him last night, didn't come back, and the nightmare that hadn't appeared for three consecutive months reappeared, what's going on?" Wang Lin was a little suspicious in his heart, and it was strange to say, the three months he lived with Lei Jun was the most restful sleep for Wang Lin, and he didn't have this nightmare for three months, Wang Lin even secretly wondered if it was Commander Lei to ward off evil spirits?
"This kid doesn't know where he went, and I can't even sleep peacefully," Wang Lin muttered psychologically.
The sky was bright, and in the morning light, the terrifying afterglow had already dissipated. There was not much sleepiness, Wang Lin simply didn't sleep, and planned to get up to go for a run and then go to the morning market, buy some breakfast and walk to work, which could also save a dollar of bus money.
Wang Lin ran three laps in the community, maybe he came out earlier today, and he didn't meet the beautiful cutie who would come out for a morning run every other day, so he lost his interest in running down, and slowed down his pace and walked towards the morning market.
The morning market is a street away from Wang Lin's rented house, and it is already very lively here at five o'clock in the morning, and the uncles and aunts who get up early gather here, and the shouts of small traders are heard from time to time. Following the bustling flow of people, looking at the lively scene can also be more pleasant, and dispel the irritability in your heart.
Wang Lin bought a "pancake fruit" and was about to enjoy the hustle and bustle of the morning market while eating, when an old man who set up a stall next to the breakfast stall stopped him and said, "Young man, I see that your Yin Hall is full of black gas, have you encountered something wrong?" Come and I'll show you!"
"Charlatan!" was Wang Lin's first reaction. This kind of person has also encountered a lot, first scaring you with words, and then bragging about his awesomeness, saying how to help you get through this hurdle, and finally began to withdraw money. Wang Lin turned around and wanted to leave. But the three words of the old man directly made Wang Lin stop his steps.
"Young man, you must be scolding me for being a liar in your heart, the old man's voice came from behind, and the old man guessed his thoughts, Wang Lin was a little embarrassed to stop his steps. "Forget it, this old man looks like he's going to be eighty, and it's not easy to get up so early to set up a stall, so spend five yuan to open a stall for him."
Seeing Wang Lin turn around and come back, squatting in front of the stall, the old man stared at Wang Lin with his eyes for a while and said, "Look at your eyes are blank, Yin Tang is dark, and there is a trace of blue and black between your eyebrows, have you had nightmares?"
"Hey, it's really a good thing for him, it's a bit of a way!" Wang Lin thought in his heart, turned around and looked at the old man, "You really made you say it right, is there any problem?" Wang Lin asked. It's still early to go to work, Wang Lin touches the eighty bills left over after buying pancakes and fruits in his pocket, and he won't suffer much loss, and see how he fools.
"If the old man is not mistaken, you will often be attacked by nightmares, young man, let's be honest, you are evil!"
"It's not so scary!" Wang Lin heard this statement a lot, and thought to himself, "I really have some ability, my parents once found him a fortune teller who was said to be very powerful, and he also said so." β
"Yes or no, you know it! You have Baoshan in your arms and don't know, it is exactly where these ghosts like to cling to, you have the body of Yuanyang, ordinary ghosts can't avoid it, but it is the Ding Furnace that the ghost cultivator likes" The old man looked at Wang Lin's suspicious eyes, glanced at Wang Lin with disdain, and explained to him with a profound face.
Wang Lin suddenly beat a side drum in his heart, did he meet a master? Or was it the first time that someone was told such a detailed reason, and immediately asked: "Then tell me about it, is there any solution?"
"The little art of exorcism and demon hunting, although the old man knows a little bit about it, the ordinary troubles can be solved, but you can't solve it, the Tao is not enough, and you want to live a few more years!"
"My problem is serious?" Wang Lin felt that he had definitely fallen into the old man's pit, but he knew the helplessness in his heart, and he always wanted to find a way to solve it.
"There is a definite number of which is more important and which is more important, I have a magic weapon here, which should be able to help you, as for whether it can let you tide over the difficulties, it depends on your own creation" The old man pinched his fingers and calculated, and said to Wang Lin.
"Co-author, you are always a professional salesman of the town house magic tools" Wang Lin looked at some feng shui town house ornaments on the old man's stall, such as peach wood swords, pagodas, roosters, gossip compasses, copper gourds, five emperor coins, etc.
The old man glared at Wang Lin and snorted: "I am all ancestral treasures, the old man I have no children and no daughters, I can't bear to bury these treasures, I plan to give the treasure to the destined person, otherwise even if I take the gold and silver mountains, I don't want to exchange them for the old man's treasures", the old man was very angry, and said a lot.
Looking at the old man's unhappy expression, Wang Lin also felt that what he said was a bit straightforward, and he heard that the old man had no children and no daughters, and he was a dead horse and a live horse doctor anyway, so give it a try!
"I'm wrong, old man. Then which treasure do you say is related to me?" asked Wang Lin.
The old man stroked his silver beard and lowered his eyelids, thought for a while, and said, "You are invaded by evil spirits, and you hang this gossip mirror on your chest, hoping that it will work for you." After speaking, the fortune-telling old man sighed heavily and said, "Hey, I'm a good person to the end, and I'll give you this too." β
After speaking, the fortune-telling old man took out another copper gourd in the package he carried, which looked much more dilapidated than the one in the stall, and was already covered with patina. Wang Lin saw that the old man trembled and took the gourd in his hand, as if he wanted to give Wang Lin a rare treasure, his face was full of reluctance, and he told Wang Lin: "There is also this copper gourd, you put it in the high place of the bedroom, this is handed down by my ancestors, my ancestors said that there is a great mystery in this gourd, if the road is broken, there will be great blessings, and it will be given to you together." β
"Old man, don't talk about buying one get one free, I have to ask how much it is first, I'm afraid that the money in my pocket is not enough?" Wang Lin asked with a little weakness, there was not much money in his pocket.
"These two things are handed down by the old ancestors, this gossip dragon mirror is made by my grandfather, the origin of this gourd is even older, and it has been passed down in our family for at least five generations" The old man said with a nostalgic look about the origin of the two objects, as if he had given up his most beloved things, if it wasn't for the acting skills of the actor, anyone with a discerning eye could feel the old man's reluctance.
"Old man, you can all be regarded as antiques, I declare in advance that I don't have much money with me, and I may not be able to afford it," Wang Lin said with an embarrassed face.
"I'll charge you eighty for this mirror, as for this gourd, my grandfather said, the spirit treasure is priceless, and the treasure will be given to you," the old man said slowly, with nostalgia and reluctance in his tone.
"Eighty is not expensive!" Wang Lin said with a little surprise. Before, he thought that the old man had been rendering the age of the two things, and he would definitely ask for a sky-high price. There are also these things in the craft shop, Wang Lin knows a little bit about the decoration design work, and he also buys one get one free, and the old antique gourds sold in some stalls alone are more than eighty yuan.
"It's not cheap, it's not the old man, I'm stimulating you, I want eighty-one and you can't afford it. After speaking, the old man pouted disdainfully.
Wang Lin was blushed by the old man, a little embarrassed, seeing Wang Lin's embarrassment, the fortune teller seemed to be a little reluctant to say comfort: "Look at your face is full of heaven, your eyebrows are slender and delicate, the bridge of your nose is straight and the roots are high, you are a rich and noble person, but you are entangled by yin qi all the year round, and your wealth is blocked. β
After giving the old man money, he directly hung the gossip mirror around his neck, put the gourd into the private room bag, and came to the company while eating some cold pancakes and fruits.
"Morning, Uncle Qu. Morning, Sister Wang". When he came to the door of the company, Wang Lin said hello to the older man and the middle-aged woman who was cleaning.
"Xiao Wang, come here", Sister Wang called Wang Lin to come to her. This Sister Wang is the company's know-it-all, what kind of parents inquire about short, big and small affairs, what news is this, Wang Lin guessed and came to her, "What's the matter, Sister Wang?"
"Xiao Wang, did you make a mistake about the customer's contract quotation, I saw that when the customer came yesterday, he argued with Mr. Han, and said that he would do things according to the contract. If you don't pay the work on time, you go to court and sue us. β
No, Wang Lin's heart is also a little unsupportive, his usual carelessness, the manager of the design department, Manager Zhang, usually takes care of himself, and helps himself correct small mistakes when reviewing the contract.
"Wang Lin, Mr. Han told you to go to the office, be careful, I see that his face is a little bad." As soon as he entered the company, his colleague stopped Wang Lin and reminded him.
"Okay, thank you, Brother Lu."
Wang Lin stood at the door of the general manager's office, blew upward, tidied up his clothes, and knocked on the general manager's door.
"Get the hell out of here, I won't have to go to work tomorrow", a few minutes later there was a roar in the manager's office.
Bang! There was another sound of falling objects and paper scattering.
Employee A: "The boss is angry, this time the confused brother has suffered again."
Employee B: "I heard that he miscalculated the quotation this time, and the quotation was 60,000 yuan."
Employee C: "I think the boss is determined to fire him this time, and I don't know how he got done?
Wang Lin walked out of the manager's office with his head down, came to his seat and silently began to pack his things. This is already the sixth job in more than a year since graduation. After packing up his things with ease, Wang Lin walked outside with his suitcase, nodded goodbye to several other colleagues in the company, and left a helpless smile.
Holding the box, Wang Lin planned to take a luxurious ride, but remembered that the money in his pocket had been relieved by the fortune teller.
Sadly, he walked back to the rented house with the box in his hand, and his hands were already numb from tiredness. This is a one-bedroom apartment he shares with his good friend Lei Jun. Lei Jun is his high school classmate and Wang Lin's senior brother, Wang Lin, Lei Jun and his cousin Liu Chao studied kung fu with a retired scout for a few years in the local area. The relationship between the three is very iron, and when they go to school, they always skip school together, exercise together, and go out to fight together.
But when it came to the college entrance examination, Lei Jun and Liu Chao did not take the college entrance examination but went to work in other places, Wang Lin, who wanted to go together, went to a third-rate university under the coercion of his parents, and graduated in a daze.
Three months ago, somehow Lei Jun also came to Songjiang City to develop, and the Iron Triangle was reunited again. Lei Jun didn't go out to look for a house, and crowded into Wang Lin's small rental house, but it is worth mentioning that since Lei Jun came back, the nightmare has not appeared once in the past three months, and it didn't appear once until yesterday when Lei Jun didn't live at home.
"Haha, I said that Xiao Linzi didn't serve the emperor well and was kicked out" Lei Jun was watching TV at home and joked when he saw Wang Lin coming back.
"Get out, I didn't see that my hands are numb, hurry up and take a hand." Seeing Lei Jun laughing at him, Wang Lin replied angrily.
Lei Jun took the box with a smile, and joked on the side, "It's okay Xiaolinzi, stay at home with peace of mind, brother will support you." β
"Thank you for your great grace, Mr. Lei, you have hands and feet under you, and you have to support yourself!" Wang Lin replied in a strange manner. But speaking of which, Lei Jun seems to have made a lot of money by going out to work in the past two years, and his whole body is a famous brand, which is worth a lot of silver. I usually spend money generously, and I am not in a hurry to go out to find a job, so I always go out for a stroll.
Looking at Lei Jun who was laughing on the side, Wang Lin had no choice but to ignore him and return to the bedroom, took out the gourd and threw the bag on the ground, wondering where to put it?
After looking around, he felt that the top of the wardrobe was the most suitable, Wang Lin tried hard to reach out and put the gourd on it, but he was still almost able to get there, "fuck" Wang Lin cursed, Wang Lin, who was a little uncomfortable, felt that everything was against him, and he angrily left the gourd up, ready to lie on the bed and rest for a while, but as soon as he turned around, the gourd rolled down from the top and smashed directly on the top of his head.
"Damn!" Wang Lin only issued an interjection of this word and was directly knocked down, the gossip map on the gourd was stained with some blood flowing from the head, emitting a yellow halo, and then a faint flame ignited on the gourd, the flame flickered a few times and then turned into a cloud of mist into Wang Lin's eyes, Wang Lin suddenly felt that his eyes were stinging and hurriedly closed his eyes, and after the flames disappeared, a small yellow ball of light slowly floated out of the gourd, and drilled into Wang Lin's Baihui acupoint, Wang Lin only felt a huge energy enter his head, and a picture flashed in his mind, and he fainted with a headacheγ
