In fact, as a custom, I don't think there is anything wrong. It's just that many things have happened so suddenly recently, which makes me have to think about some originally simple things to a complicated level. Hu Zongren is someone who knows me better, and he
I know that the current situation is definitely not that simple. At least the Fujianese colleague's move of moving the brazier into the corridor for no reason seems very abnormal.
Why do you say this? Because when burning incense and worshiping Buddha, you usually find an open and open place and invite the gods from all directions to achieve the purpose of doing business, burning incense and worshiping gods. However, the corridor is small, dark, airtight, and seems to be in a
It's the same as doing something secretly. It doesn't achieve the purpose of worshiping God at all. I don't think the boss of this supermarket would agree to it. Although I can't confirm at the moment that it is really this Fujian employee who did this, but I think
If it is really him, then there must be a compelling reason. As for the motive of this reason, no one knows.
Teacher Yang walked aside to make a phone call. Since the phone was not on speakerphone, I only heard Teacher Yang’s hums. I didn’t even have the ability to guess the content of their conversation. Teacher Yang hung up the phone and followed
I said that the Fujianese employee said that incense was burned every day behind the innermost corner outside the warehouse on the first floor, because that place is not easy to be found, and the first floor is also the entry point for all the goods in the supermarket.
The exit is called the "wealth road". Burning incense and worshiping gods nearby means asking the gods to help pave the way for wealth so that money can flow in. It was originally a simple custom, but it caused trouble.
The employee from Fujian said that due to different customs and habits, after he burned incense there, he had several conflicts with a residential building over there, saying that burning incense at the door of the corridor was bad luck. Later, there were
Once when I was burning paper, I was hit by fruit peels thrown at me by the residents upstairs. When I went to burn paper again the next day, I found that the brazier had been kicked over by the residents. I thought that if the neighbors were not willing, I would find another place.
, then the place for burning paper was moved to the stairwell.
I shook my head, thinking that burning incense, candles, money and paper in stairwells, especially corner stairwells, would be the easiest to attract ghosts. In the past, if there was a funeral in someone's family, people would always use it on the first and last seven days or on the anniversary of death.
Put a white radish split in half at the door and put incense candles on it. This is to guide the deceased in your home and let them find their way back to their home. Although the customs in different places are different, the customs formed in each place are different.
The nature of ghosts is the same. So I asked Teacher Yang, I just looked at the environment downstairs in your office, and I didn’t see any residential buildings. I just saw a fortress. Teacher Yang said that he
I don't know. Although I have worked here for a long time and have been to the warehouse on the first floor many times, I really haven't paid attention to the residential buildings nearby. However, I occasionally see people around me from the window.
Passing by this passage, there is probably a path nearby.
Hu Zongren said to me, why don’t we go down and take a look first and understand the terrain. I said it’s broad daylight, do you really want me to walk around with a compass? Hu Zongren said, that’s not necessary, just think about it.
, since the brazier is now between the corridors, and there are only two ways to go in this corridor, one is to go upstairs and the other is to go downstairs, and these young people also saw the ghost squatting beside the brazier before, then
It means that the ghost entered this range through one of these two roads. If we can follow the clues, we will get closer and closer to the answer we want. I asked Hu Zongren, so what do you mean, we should start with
Let’s start with the brazier in the corridor and start checking from there, right? Hu Zongren nodded and said, this is the most reliable and lowest-risk way I can think of so far. And we can start from here to check the good and evil of these ghosts.
A judgment, which will directly affect what kind of treatment we should choose later.
Hu Zongren paused and said, "How should I choose to treat him?"
Hu Zongren stopped after saying this, but I didn't quite understand what he meant. Originally he said "we", but then he changed his words and said it was himself. So I looked at him, but he deliberately turned his eyes
He avoided it, so I understood that he was actually emphasizing that this was his business. He also knew that the things we encountered recently were becoming more and more difficult, so much so that we were in danger several times, but he still didn't
I hope that I will get too involved in the middle, at least not to take over the cause and effect that has nothing to do with me.
When I thought about this, although I felt in my heart that Hu Zongren was really a friend, I must not say so. I had to pretend not to notice anything. When it comes to brute force, Hu Zongren is probably a little better than me, but he said
If he is too narrow-minded, he is no match for me. So I ignored him at the moment and just told him, okay, I will listen to you, and we will start the investigation from the brazier in the corridor.
Then Hu Zongren gave instructions to Teacher Yang and others. The office had already been formed, so before the matter was completely resolved, we all thought that it might not be a good thing for these people to go back to the office. In case we were angry.
Those ghosts, these few people have to follow us to suffer disaster. So Hu Zongren asked them to find a place to stay by themselves, whether it is to visit other colleagues' offices, or to go shopping by themselves, no matter where they go, just don't go back to the office.
, and Teacher Yang proposed to investigate with us, but was rejected by Hu Zongren. Hu Zongren said that there are some things that we are not fully sure about now. We don’t know whether we will encounter danger, so it is better not to have you come with us, and you
There were also girls among them. Girls were the most troublesome. They would scream when something happened. I'm afraid I wasn't scared to death by ghosts, but by people first.
Hu Zongren said it with a playful smile, but I know that what he said is actually the truth. Unless there is an unavoidable need for key clues, it is not necessarily a good thing for the victim to follow us. Because there are ghosts in your mind, and the ghosts have been in you since then.
Hu Zongren then told Teacher Yang that when we get out of the elevator later, we should not open the closed fire doors here. Before the matter is resolved, try to prevent people from entering this area. Although
There are vegetables here, which can easily go bad, but they are better than those that are constantly haunted. To be like exorcising ghosts, you have to endure this loss first. Although Teacher Yang was still a little embarrassed, he finally agreed, so he
He said that the other colleagues would leave first and he would stay in the warehouse and tell his colleagues in the warehouse not to let them go upstairs.
Hu Zongren nodded, and together with me we worked on the area again to prevent as many ghosts from entering the area. Hu Zongren tore off a plastic bag used to hold vegetables in the supermarket and reached out to dig out some sewer.
He put the mud from the ditch in it, and then pulled out another bag and filled it with the carrots that had been bitten off, as if the police were collecting evidence at a crime scene. Then he took out a few more charms and stuck them on the
Under the shelf where the vegetables are placed, I found an angle that is not easy to be noticed, but each talisman is facing another shelf, and so on, so that each talisman can play its maximum role. Then we used Teacher Yang
I opened the elevator with my employee card. Before going downstairs, I drew and painted on the four walls of the elevator car.
After arriving on the first floor, several of Teacher Yang's colleagues dispersed on their own. I had never been to a supermarket warehouse, and the sight in front of me still felt a bit spectacular. The huge and empty place was filled with all kinds of things.
Goods. When you come down at any time, you can see the trucks unloading goods. Teacher Yang took us to the entrance and exit of the trucks and said to us a stairwell on the right. This stairwell is the one that can go up to our office. You can follow it.
You can find the brazier by walking up here. After talking, Teacher Yang pointed to the left hand direction. There was a corner that was blocked from sight. Teacher Yang said that the place where incense was originally burned as mentioned by my Fujian colleague was probably right there.
But I have never been there. Since you asked me not to follow you, please go find it yourself.
Hu Zongren nodded and said, if we have new information later, we will call Teacher Yang. Teacher Yang will provide us with a lot of conveniences in the supermarket. After saying these words, Teacher Yang
I turned around and left, and got together with the group of staff who were taking stock of the goods. It looked like they were explaining something. So Hu Zongren tugged on my sleeve and said to me, let's get started now.
About ten meters in front of me, there was a stone fortress about ten meters high, covered with moss and weeds. In the gaps between the stones, there were occasionally spider webs and some dead ones.
Insect corpses. There is a small ditch about an inch wide between the bottom of the fort sill and the ground. Some of the water flowing down from the fort sill collects in the ditch and flows away. Judging from the distribution of moss on the fort sill, this
Baokanshang has been here for at least fifteen years. Because this area is an old-fashioned residential area, there are traces to say that this place is haunted. So I followed Hu Zongren and walked towards the stairs.
Start going upstairs.
The stairs from the first floor to the first floor are slightly longer than the one we used to go from the first floor to the second floor. I think that is probably because the garage space is higher. So after we climbed the stairs on one side, we just
Turning the corner, I saw the brazier placed in the corner. The brazier is probably the most common iron washbasin. I bet if it hadn't been burned to a pitch black, I would have been able to see the exquisite prints in the basin. The one in the corner
The wall was not clean originally, but it was so blackened by the smoke and flames. There were still some burned paper ashes in the brazier. Hu Zongren reached out to fiddle with it and found that among the paper ashes, there were some remaining incense sticks.
Son.
The color of the paper ash is light white and a little moist, which means that it has been at least one night since the last time the paper was burned. We arrived here this morning, which means that last night, the Fujian employee was there
