The third month of the lunar calendar is the most beautiful time in Jiangdong, when a hundred flowers are blooming, everything is spring, and even the birds that get up early to catch insects are more active than usual. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info at seven o'clock, men and women began to come out to move, buy breakfast, wait for the bus, all kinds of people.

The happiest thing is the old man in the park, seeing that it is another sunny day, the wind is beautiful, the weather is neither hot nor cold, with a hint of coolness in the warm ocean, the spirit is even more sufficient, and even Tai Chi is played twice more than usual.

However, on the edge of the park, in a residential building facing Xingxing Lake, it was a solemn scene at this time. Unlike the warmth outside, the hallway is filled with cold, giving people the feeling that the cold storage has forgotten to close.

At first glance, the building is a building built more than ten years ago, with only six floors, and its style and style are incompatible with the surrounding commercial streets. However, judging from the layout of the exterior wall and the inside, it should have been a relatively high-end residence at that time, and the original owner was also very wealthy.

A middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes stood at the entrance of the corridor on the third floor, staring at the door number of "302" in front of him, rubbing his hands uneasily. Behind him was a little old man with four-inch long hair, wearing a royal blue Tai Chi robe, holding a whisk in his hand, urging him: "Hurry up and open the door, what are you afraid of with me." ”

The old man is in good spirits, although his hair is a little gray, but the skin on his face is smooth and ruddy, and his eyes are also embarrassed, if you only look at the face, he is only in his early forties at most, and with his hair, he looks like a person in his fifties.

The man in the suit was still a little flustered, he didn't know what was in the door that made him so frightened, he took out the key from his arms tremblingly, didn't insert it into the lock hole several times in a row, and finally plugged it in, hesitated before turning away, gritted his teeth and twisted the door lock.

As soon as the door opened, he hid behind the little old man, and refused to show his head even if he died. The old man squinted his eyes and surveyed the room: a typical three-bedroom and two-hall layout, with a living room in the center and a nanmu table in the center, with a tea set on it. There is a sofa on each side, and it looks like the materials are also very elegant.

Although Xiangyang District is not a city center, it is also very prosperous, and the market value of this house is estimated to be more than 2 million due to its proximity to the subway station. The man in the suit can afford to live here, and his net worth should be considered solid.

The little old man looked at it for a while, his expression became solemn, he sniffed, he didn't know what he smelled, he shook the dust in his hand, and said in his mouth: "It's amazing, such a heavy evil breath." ”

The door opened for a while, and the temperature in the corridor became colder and colder, just like the weather of March 9, the man in the suit was desperately wrapped in his coat, his lips were already a little blue, and he said tremblingly: "It's here again, it's here again, I'd better hide first." As he spoke, he wanted to slip away.

The old man looked really unpleasant at him, shook his head, took out a sachet from his arms and handed it to him: "You take this." ”

The sachet looks ordinary, but as soon as it starts, the shivering of the man in the suit stops, and a warm current goes straight from the palm of his hand to the chest and lungs, and the whole body seems to be bathed in a hot spring, which is indescribably comfortable.

His emotions calmed down, and he had a little more confidence in the old man in front of him, and was about to say two words of gratitude, when the old man had already stepped into the room.

It seemed that something hidden was pulled by this foot, and the originally stagnant air suddenly flowed, and then turned into a whirlwind. I could only hear the rustling sound one after another, and the objects in the house were staggered by this whirlwind.

Then all the electrical appliances were automatically turned on, the TV, washing machine, air conditioner, range hood, vacuum cleaner, as if in a social party, all were ringing, the TV was actually playing the morning news, and the announcer's voice was mixed in this noisy environment, which seemed very weird.

The old man moved in step by step, as if he was stuck in quicksand, and every step was extremely difficult. His brow furrowed tighter and tighter, and his face became more and more difficult to look at. Suddenly, he waved the dust, shook it back and forth in the air, pinched the mantra with his left hand, and recited the incantation in his mouth:

The great god of law, the blue body.

Qi rushed to the clouds, and the sound shook and thundered.

Holding an axe and drill, call for heavenly soldiers.

The train burns ghosts and kills sperm.

A string of tongue-twisting ancient texts came out of the old man's mouth, and there was a special rhyme. With every word the old man spat out, he took a step forward. The man in the suit looked at the old man's back, and felt that the other party's figure suddenly became taller, and with every step, the ground seemed to shake with it.

He rubbed his eyes, and screamed in shame, he was so frightened by that thing that he hallucinated. found that the little old man had walked to the door of the bedroom, his figure was still short, but there was an indescribable momentum on his body, as majestic as a mountain, which made people can't help but have a feeling of looking up.

Wiping the sweat from his head, the man in the suit was secretly glad that he had finally found the right person.

But he didn't wait long for him to be happy, he heard a crackling sound from the bedroom, accompanied by the little old man's shouting, and it was only a few minutes, the old man retreated from the bedroom in embarrassment, jumped back to the door in a few steps, stood still, took out a piece of talisman paper from his arms, and drank in his mouth: "Hurry!"

The rune paper bounced into the air, turning into a curtain-shaped firework that blocked the door. The man in the suit heard a loud noise, which shook his ears deafeningly, and before he could react to what was going on, the little old man had already grabbed his shoulders and ran downstairs.

It wasn't until he went out of the gate that the little old man stopped, staring at him with straight eyes, until he felt furious in his heart, and then he said coldly:

"Who have you offended lately?"

The man in the suit jumped up as if he had been stepped on by his tail: "No, doing business is about making money with harmony, even if I ask for food on weekdays, I am friendly and angry, how can I offend people." ”

The little old man glanced at the other party deeply, and saw that his expression did not seem to be fake, so he didn't ask any more questions, but said unhurriedly: "There is a cat ghost living in your house, it is very powerful, and I can't surrender." ”

Seeing the little old man withdraw from the room, the man in the suit was already mentally prepared, but when he really heard this answer, he still panicked, and hurriedly grabbed the other party's arm: "Dao Chief, you can't leave me alone." ”

The little old man looked embarrassed, he really wanted to just stop like that, but he had already received a gift of 50,000 yuan from the other party, and he was reluctant to spit it out again, as the so-called soft hand, he hesitated for a while, gritted his teeth and said: "I'll take you to find someone in a while, if you can say that he can make a move, it shouldn't be a big problem." ”

When the man in the suit heard that there was a play, he hurriedly nodded desperately.

To measure the size of a city, many times the most important indicators are not the area and population, but whether there is a traffic jam. For example, now, the man in the suit who is blocked at the three-way intersection dislikes Jiangdong City as too big, and the traffic jam along the way makes him want to smash the steering wheel, and he set off before eight o'clock, and he has not crossed the river until half past ten in the morning.

After crossing the river, the road surface gradually became clear. The development of Jiangbei is much worse than that of Jiangnan, and the little old man has to find someone to live in the suburbs, so the second half of the journey is smooth, and at about one o'clock in the afternoon, the two came to a private house at the intersection of Xin'an Road.

The man in the suit followed the little old man to the door, watched the other party take a deep breath, and carefully put his hand on the doorbell, his emotions were also infected, and he was a little more nervous. The bell rang for a moment, and the door opened, and a young man in a gray sweater and blue jeans stood in the doorway, carrying two garbage bags in his hands, looking at them in amazement.

Nearly 1.8 meters tall, slightly thinner figure, skin is the kind of common wheat-colored, close to flat short hair, facial features are not very good-looking, but they are also decent, with a rustic rustic atmosphere on the face, giving people the feeling that they are rural youths who go to the big city.

The only thing that makes an impression is his eyes, which are large and bright, and remind people of the word "clear" at first glance.

"Comfortable, why are you here?" the young man called the little old man's name as soon as he opened his mouth, which made the man in the suit stunned for a moment.

But what surprised him was still behind, seeing the young man come out, the little old man subconsciously made a upright posture, and said respectfully: "Uncle Shi, I have something I want to trouble you." ”

This young man, who looks like he is in his early twenties at most, is actually the uncle that the master talked about all the way?

The man in the suit suddenly felt that his head was not enough, and subconsciously remembered a lyric: It's not that I don't understand, the world is changing fast.

However, he has been in the business for so many years, he knows what to say on what occasions, and in the current situation, of course he is keeping his mouth shut and waiting for the master to speak first.

As soon as the young man heard the little old man's words, he subconsciously frowned: "I'm about to go out to throw out the garbage, you guys come in first and sit down, wait for me for a while." ”

Waiting for the young man to take out the garbage and come back and make tea for the two, the man in the suit has already looked at the surrounding environment: a typical farmhouse courtyard, the decoration can only be said to be simple, but it is better to be clean and refreshing, there are no stickers or posters on the wall of the living room, but just hang a big regular script "Jing" word.

"Comfortable, what's the matter with me?" the young man got straight to the point and asked about the two of them.

The little old man hurriedly said, "Uncle Shi, let me introduce you first, this is the boss of Qiu Bo Taoqiu." Boss Qiu, this is what I mentioned to you, my uncle Qiu Zhe. Speaking of which, you two were still one family five hundred years ago, hehe. ”

Qiu Botao hurriedly got up to greet him, shook hands with this family who seemed to be of a high rank, and then he said to the little old man, and made his intention clear.

Qiu Botao is in the clothing business, and his net worth is not hugely rich, but he also has a small 20 million. This house was not bought by him, but someone else gave him the debt when he collected the debt, but after he got it, he found out that the house was actually haunted, and it was a famous murderous house nearby.

Qiu Botao found a lot of so-called masters to catch ghosts, but they all made a fuss, either breaking his leg or breaking his hand, and he jumped off the building in a panic and got a comminuted fracture. The matter was not resolved, but a lot of medical expenses were lost.

Finally, an acquaintance with a wide range of doors pointed him to find the little old man.

The little old man's name is Zhang Zizai, a native of Jiangdong, forty years ago, he worshipped a passing Taoist priest as a teacher, learned an authentic Taoist talisman spell, and later set up a stall in the city. At first, it was just word measurement and fortune-telling, and by the way, he did some refining rituals, and gradually expanded his business scope to exorcise evil spirits and cure diseases, catch ghosts and subdue demons.

Because of his real skills, his reputation became louder and louder, and later people in the city who had a bit of a way in the city knew such a number one person. The original stall has also been replaced with a shotgun, and it has become a fashionable office today.

Now his business card is printed with the nondescript name of "Comfortable Abnormal Firm".

After listening to the introduction of the two, the young man named Qiu Zhe pondered for a while before he asked Zhang Zizai: "Since you came to me, you must have gone in to check, what is the situation inside?"

Zhang Zizai thought about it and spoke: "That room is filled with a strange force, like a turbulent river, and every step is very difficult. When I finally got inside, I saw a huge black cat with a pair of blue eyes staring at me. Before I could make the next move, the black cat roared and pounced. I knew I was invincible at a glance, and hurriedly retreated. ”

When he said this, he had some palpitations: "That black cat doesn't look like a living thing, it should be the legendary cat ghost." It's just that I always feel that something is wrong, although ordinary cat ghosts are vicious, they are just doing some private things, how can they make such a big move. ”

Qiu Zhe was also a little moved, touched his chin and thought for a while: "I haven't seen such a thing as a cat ghost with my own eyes, and this thing has never appeared a few times in history. ”

Seeing Qiu Botao's dazed look, knowing that the other party couldn't understand, Qiu Zhe patiently explained to him:

"The so-called cat ghost, also called cat Gu, is a kind of Gu technique. When a cat dies, it becomes a ghost like a human, and we call it a cat ghost. ”

"Some warlocks with bad minds will train the cat ghost through specific rituals, and then drive it to do things. The most famous is that in the Sui Dynasty, Dugu Tuo, the half-brother of Queen Dugu, asked his family Xu Ani to raise cat ghosts to murder Queen Dugu and steal the property in the palace. ”

"This technique is a bit like the folklore of the five ghosts, but it is much more powerful. The person who is entangled, first of all, is getting worse physically and mentally, riddled with diseases, and is in a trance, and then the family's belongings will disappear one after another, and will be carried to the hands of the caster by the cat ghost, and the cat ghost will not only steal the property, but also steal the victim's luck, especially financial luck. ”

Qiu Zhe explained this, paused, and then wondered: "But even in the Sui and Tang dynasties, this kind of technique was very secretive, and it was only inherited among a few families, and it was almost extinct after the Song Dynasty, at least it hadn't appeared for hundreds of years, how could it suddenly appear?"

On this kind of topic, Qiu Botao naturally couldn't interject, and even Zhang Zizi couldn't make a sound.

Qiu Zhe also knew that it was inappropriate to ask this, and the two people in front of him were obviously not good objects for discussion, so he stopped the topic, returned to the matter itself, and asked, "Boss Qiu, have you offended anyone recently?"

In the same way, Zhang Zizai also asked, and Qiu Botao naturally gave the same answer.

Listening to his answer, Qiu Zhe pondered for a while before he said slowly:

"You tell me the origin of your house. ”
