The moment he was about to walk out of the restaurant, I stopped him loudly.
Because he just said those four words "all dead", which really scared me. Usually people who just met would not make such a joke.
When I returned to the dinner table, I stood up and poured someone a glass of wine respectfully. .??.
"Master Qin, please speak more clearly."
He took a sip, put down the glass and said: "When a person is about to die, there will be some changes in the appearance and the inside, such as the hair suddenly becomes dry and straight, the face is dull, and..."
He pointed to the middle of his forehead: "Have you noticed, your friend, there is a faint vertical line hanging down here in Yintang? The vertical line hangs down to the bridge of the nose. That is the sign of death."
"He may be you after him. Do you know under what circumstances you can see this kind of appearance?"
I frowned and shook my head.
He recalled: "Last year, did you read the news in the newspaper? A family of five went fishing in Liangshan Reservoir on the weekend. Later, the car crashed into the reservoir and they all drowned. The face of this family at that time is what your friend looks like now.
’s face.”
My face turned pale and I said that I was not a local and had only been in Kangding for a few months. I didn't know about this news. Then I quickly asked how to solve it? The pay would not be shabby.
I thought this kind of thing could be solved with money. If it couldn't be solved, it would be nothing more than adding 0 after the amount of money, just like helping me check my household registration in Nanping.
Without thinking, he shook his head and said: "Brother, although I can see it, I don't have the ability to solve this matter. As for the guest house where you are staying, I was scared just by looking at it. Your only way now is to hurry up.
Go find the crazy Taoist priest, the sooner the better!"
I said anxiously: "Taoist Master Ma is only awake for ten minutes a day, and last time he ran away and couldn't be found. He came and went without a trace. Where can I find him? It's too late!"
"Well, wait for me here for a few minutes."
He came back in about ten minutes with a white plastic bag in his hand.
Opening the plastic bag, he took out a large handful of red string Guanyin pendants, counted five and handed them to me and said: "These amulets are the ones I gave to my girls before I finished giving them away. Five of you, go back and take one each."
, somewhat useful, for good luck, one eight hundred and eighty-eight, give me a total of four thousand four hundred and forty yuan."
"ah?"
"Didn't you just say you don't want money?"
These Guanyin pendants are made of jade, but they are the most rubbish kind of jade. They are all black and not green at all. People in the industry call jade jade shit. They can be wholesaled in Jieyang for four or five yuan each, and
The carving is poor, and the eyes of the Guanyin Bodhisattva are slanted to the side of the nose.
"I said I don't need money, but this is a life-saving thing, so you can't get it for free! Do you understand? This is called causality!"
"You don't think it's tatters, do you?" "Let me tell you clearly, these Emerald Guanyin were secretly placed in the lotus lanterns of the Vajra Temple and spent the night during the God-Dance Festival on the tenth day of May last year!"
"That night, all the eminent monks in the entire Vajra Temple knelt in front of the lotus lanterns and recited the Peace Sutra! Even ordinary people can't do it! Do you still dislike it?"
"Now that I have your money, I don't have to spend it myself. I will donate it all to the Vajra Temple. This is called dedication."
"Forget it, don't pull me down!"
Seeing my hesitation, he quickly took away all the Guanyin pendants. I grabbed them and said I didn't say I didn't want them! I want them! Don't be angry!
I went back with me to withdraw the money, and he nodded briefly and left. He also told me to take the amulet with me before going to bed, don't get it wet, and find a way to find Taoist Master Ma as soon as possible.
After they left, I immediately called Lao Guo.
As a result, Lao Guo said that he had not heard from Taoist Master Ma for two months and had no idea where he was. Moreover, Lao Guo also said that no one would be able to find him unless the Taoist Master came back on his own.
After hanging up the phone, I started thinking wildly.
Last night, I glanced at the legless woman, was she the July Climb worshiped by the Dangxiang people? I had heard the ancient legend of the July Climb as early as at the foot of Helan Mountain. A person has no legs and has to crawl.
The things unearthed from the ancient tombs are all underworld tools, also called Yin tools. Is it possible that some of the cultural relics from the tomb carry the curse of climbing in July? Of course, this is all my suspicion and random imagination, and it is unscientific.
in accordance with.
Is the first problem that bean sprouts had caused by that thing?
I hurriedly ran to Dou Sprout's house and kicked open the door.
"Where did you put the wooden man?"
Dou Sprout looked puzzled and said, "It's under my bed. What's wrong?"
I directly dragged the real-looking puppet out from under the bed! The limbs of this thing had been glued with bean sprouts. I looked at it for a few minutes, and the more I looked at it, the more uncomfortable it became, like a corpse with stiff limbs.
"Oh! What are you doing Fengzi!"
"Don't fucking stop me! I'm going to burn it!"
"Damn it! You can't burn it!"
Dou Sprout panicked and said anxiously: "I stayed up all night to fix it! It costs hundreds of thousands, Fengzi! How can you just burn it when you say it?"
I had made up my mind, so I pushed Dou Sprout away immediately! I grabbed the wooden man's legs and walked out! Dou Sprout didn't listen, he was obsessed with money.
I threw this thing directly from the second floor into the courtyard. The bean sprouts were solid and the arms and legs were not broken, but the fall caused the wooden man's limbs to twist backwards and fold into a strange shape.
It looks very awkward at a different angle.
Brother Yu lives on the first floor. He heard the noise and ran out of the house and asked me what I was doing.
"You happen to be in Brother Yu! Now go buy a barrel of gasoline and come back! I'll go find some firewood!"
When Brother Yu came back after buying the oil, I had already built a fire in the yard, locked the door, threw the puppet on the firewood pile, poured the gasoline directly, and looked on with my head, without stopping me.
"Can't burn! Can't burn!"
Dou Sprout suddenly screamed hysterically. He pulled out the knife and shouted: "I will kill anyone who dares to give money! If you don't believe me, try it!"
Brother Yu grabbed Dou Yazai's wrist and shouted angrily: "Yu Yazai, you are crazy! You are trying to use knives on us!"
Douyazai's eyes were in a trance for a few seconds. He looked as if he had just woken up from a dream. He threw the knife in his hand with a clang.
He glanced at it, frowned and ordered: "This thing has always been unlucky. Light it and burn it."
I lit the lighter and threw it directly on the fire.
The dry fire started crackling in an instant, the fire became fierce in an instant, and thick smoke billowed out.
The heat wave made us all retreat subconsciously. In a daze, I felt that the scene in front of me seemed familiar.
That night by the river, July Climb was burned to ashes in this way.
"wrong.".
Xiaoxuan's eyes suddenly turned frightened, and she shouted: "Look! How could this happen?"
My eyes widened when I saw it.
After only a few minutes of burning, a very puzzling phenomenon occurred.
The puppet lying on the pile of firewood cannot be lit! It just emits white smoke! It does not catch fire!
Brother Yu let out a sigh and said, "Maybe it's not warm enough, so don't worry yet."
After watching for a few more minutes, the fire became smaller, and the true-looking puppet was still lying there intact!
"What the hell! Why can't it burn if it's made of wood?"
After the fire was extinguished, I only saw that the surface of the thing was blackened, revealing a layer of light green, a very light green.
He looked back and frowned and said, "I didn't expect this. This thing is not made of cypress wood. It should be made of firewood."
I asked: "Baotou, do you mean sea pine wood? There were sea pine trees in ancient times?"
He nodded his head and said: "Sea pine has been around for a long time. In ancient times, it was often used to make pipes. You see, this thing has been burned by fire for so long before it reveals its true color."
Sea pine is also known as fire-proof wood because it cannot burn at all. This kind of wood is said to have extremely fast heat dissipation ability and strong flame retardant ability. In ancient times, it was used to make water dragons.
Seeing that the sun was about to set, I was anxious. No matter what, I never wanted to see this thing again tonight!
I ran to 2 in a hurry I found an ax in the utility room of the building. I came down and swung the ax and slashed at the puppet! While I was chopping, I cursed with red eyes: "Fuck you! You want to mess with us! I'll kill you first!"
My appearance might have frightened Xiaoxuan, but I didn't care and quickly chopped the wooden man into several pieces.
People who have never seen the real thing may have a hard time imagining it. Some young people may even think it is a life-size figure, but they are wrong. Anyone who wants to see it can go to the Hebei Museum, where there are two of these things, and stare at the puppets.
Look at your face carefully for five minutes, and I will ensure that you sleep and dream at night.
I found three sacks, separated the arms and legs of the puppets and put them inside, and then Brother Yu and I threw them away separately.
Brother Yu threw it far away.
And I threw my feet into a family’s vegetable patch and my head into an abandoned well in the south of the village, so that their bodies and heads would be separated and they would never see each other again.
It was past 8 pm when I came back. I gave each of them a Guanyin pendant and asked everyone to bring it with them. No matter if it was useful or not, just for peace of mind.
At around 10 o'clock, I lay down and covered my head to sleep, and I had another dream.
I dreamed about the well. The well was bubbling and bubbling like a boiling pot. After a few seconds, the head of a long-haired woman slowly floated up.
I woke up from a nightmare, with a layer of sweat on my back.
I slept with the light on at night, so I immediately got up and leaned on the pillow, lighting a cigarette to calm down the panic.
"Bang bang bang! Bang bang bang!"
"who!"
Although I slept on the second floor, I heard clearly that someone was taking pictures of the door knocker of the guest house.
We are all sleeping in the house, it is so late. Who will knock on the door?
"Bang bang bang! Bang bang bang!"
Still knocking.
I didn't dare to go downstairs alone, so I took a flashlight and called Brother Yu.
Brother Yu was still drowsy at first, but he woke up when he heard a knock on the door.
Brother Yu frowned and asked me: "Who is knocking on the door?"
I whispered that he was definitely not one of us, as we were all in the room.
"Let's go down and have a look."
Going down the stairs to the courtyard, looking at the big locked iron door, Brother Yu asked loudly: "Who is it so late?"
After a few seconds, a voice came from outside the door.
"It's me, why can't you hear my voice?"
Brother Yu immediately shouted coldly: "Who knows who you are! I don't know you! Stop knocking on the door! Leave now!"
I grabbed Brother Yu's arm tightly.
"What's wrong?"
I looked at Brother Yu in horror, then at the closed door, and said tremblingly: "Yu. Brother Yu, this is Lao Fu's voice!"
