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.
Back at 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 a 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 felt scared just 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 Ma is only awake for ten minutes a day, and last time he ran away and couldn't be found at all. He came and went without a trace. Where can I find him? It's too late!"
"Well... 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 daughter 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 all 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. It only costs four or five yuan a piece when wholesaled in Jieyang.
The carving is poor, 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! Ordinary people can't even 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 in the ancient tombs are all underworld tools, also called Yin tools. Is it possible that... a certain cultural relic from the tomb carries the curse of climbing in July? Of course, this is just my suspicion and random imagination.
