The moon rises from the east and sets on the river in the distance, a vast expanse of white.
I carefully climbed onto this bridge, which was still under construction.
This place is not very prosperous, and is even a bit remote, so at this time, there are no people at all.
Xiaoru, Fang Tao, and I went up the bridge, and no one asked us questions along the way.
This bridge spans the Wulin River and was built from two ends. It is about to be closed. It is estimated that the problem is stuck at this juncture.
"Let's go! There seems to be someone guarding the front." Xiaoru whispered to me.
"Let's go down first and see if there are any fishing boats nearby. Rent a fishing boat and go to the river to explore the situation." I said.
Lian Xiaoru agreed with my opinion.
After a while, we all got off the bridge again and found a fishing boat on the nearby river bank.
"Uncle! Can I borrow your boat? We want to go to the middle of the bridge to have a look." I said.
"What? Go and look in the middle of that bridge?" The uncle was so frightened that he shook his head quickly: "No, no! How dare I go to that place! Wherever I went, whether I can come back is still a question! Half a month ago
A ferry sank there, and the bodies of a woman and a child have not been found!"
Speaking of this, the uncle deliberately lowered his voice and said, "There was an accident on the bridge today. Do you know?"
"have no idea!"
"I think 80% of them were dragged away by the resentful spirits under the bridge. This is already the fifth time. The bridge can't be closed no matter how hard it is. Do you think it's strange?" The uncle muttered to himself with his eyes widened.
He sighed and said, "You can't go to that place!"
"I'll give you a hundred yuan, can you send us there?" Fang Tao said.
"If you give me ten thousand, I won't dare to go. Life is more important than money! Young man." The uncle decisively rejected Fang Tao.
"What should I do? If I can't go to the river, I don't know what's going on nearby." I sighed.
Lian Xiaoru winked at me slyly, then grabbed my hand and pressed it on the soul urn at my waist. She muttered silently, then gently pressed my soul urn and shouted softly:
"Master Qiao Yang, we are in trouble. Yuanyuan come out quickly to help."
As soon as he finished speaking, a red light flashed from the soul urn, and then out of thin air, a woman wearing a floral cotton-padded jacket appeared in front of everyone.
"Ghosts... you, you are ghosts..." This scene made the uncle's eyes widen in fright. He jumped off the boat and ran towards the shore quickly.
"Uncle! Don't run away! We just want to borrow the boat." Xiaoru shouted to the uncle.
"No, you can take it if you like it!" The uncle didn't even look back.
"Okay, we'll stop here when we're done." Lian Xiaoru shouted loudly.
Under the moonlight, I could only see the uncle running, and I never heard her reply again.
Xiaoru smiled, patted me on the shoulder with a proud look on her face and said, "How is it? My method is pretty good, right?"
"The method is good. However, it is a bit unethical. If my uncle finds out about this, he will definitely give you a scolding," I said.
"Master, is something wrong?" Cui Yuanyuan looked at me in surprise.
"It's okay! I accidentally called you out." I said to Cui Yuanyuan embarrassedly.
Cui Yuanyuan rubbed her eyes with her hands: "Okay! I'll go back to sleep first."
I nodded and saw the girl once again turned into a red shadow and got into the soul urn.
"Let's get on the boat!" Lian Xiaoru jumped onto the boat proudly.
After a while, they swung the boat and sailed towards the rolling river. Not to mention, this girl's boat was rowing quite steadily.
Later, I found out that this girl was born by the river when she was a child.
"Qiao Yang, do you see? The bridge is almost closed now. The boss who built the bridge must be very anxious. I guess they are sending people everywhere to look for us now!"
Xiaoru said to me.
"That's inevitable. I think those guys from before will definitely call their bosses and then look for people everywhere to look for us. It seems that we have to leave here early. After I finish making alms, I'll take care of the people nearby.
Recruit the resentful souls, ask about the situation, and then we will go back. Whether we can save the resentful souls here depends on the master's ability." I said to Lian Xiaoru.
"Um!"
Lian Xiaoru nodded and rowed towards the center of the river.
After rowing for about twenty minutes, our boat arrived at the very center of the bridge.
Our boat rowed under the bridge pier and stopped close to the bridge pier.
"I'll do alms right here!"
I said to Lian Xiaoru, and immediately took out the magic tools and tributes used in the ritual from my bag.
I saw a small table on the boat, so I laid a yellow turban on the table, placed an incense burner, took out Ruyi and Dharma seals, built a temporary altar, and then placed tribute fruits and a bowl of rice.
He put three sticks of incense in the small incense burner, took an iron bowl, put a soul-calling flag on the bow of the boat, and imitated the master's method of serving food.
I grabbed a handful of rice from the iron bowl, threw it into the river, and muttered something: "Looking at the fishing boats on the river, there is a cloud of smoke on the reed beach. Where is the fisherman of Baling now? The moon is full by the Youth Pond. A new grave.
The old tombs are piled with bones, and every family has its own sacrifices and sweeps. The poor woman is crying by the river, watching the time turn into paper money... This night is a good one to inherit the merits and virtues, and the flower flags call to invite you to come."
I held the soul-calling flag in my hand and waved it, then grabbed a handful of rice from the iron bowl and threw it into the river.
Soon, a strange scene happened.
A gust of cold wind came, and I suddenly felt cold. Soon I heard a "pop, pop, pop" sound in my ears, as if there were fish fighting for food.
Jiang Feng blew his clothes, making his clothes rustle, and his soul-calling flags fluttered in the wind. From time to time, he could hear sighs coming from his ears.
"well!"
It seemed like a woman was sighing.
Suddenly, I felt a numbness in my scalp, and it felt like there were suddenly many pairs of strange eyes looking at me around me. Although I couldn't see them, I could clearly feel them.
I touched the glass bottle and grapefruit leaves that Master gave me with my hands. I wanted to put some cow's tears on them and put them on the grapefruit leaves to see what was going on around me.
Finally, after thinking about it, I gave up the idea.
I don't want to upset my mind. Seeing too many ghosts is not a good thing.
I continued to recite the mantra, grabbed a handful of rice, and threw it into the river.
"This night and this time, the Dharma assembly is coming. The fragrant flowers call for the coming, the flower banners call for the coming..."
The last handful of rice was finally scattered. I breathed a sigh of relief and put the bowl on the table.
Suddenly I saw the iron bowl moving consciously on the table, making a "dang-dang-dang" sound. It was really scary.
I quickly pressed the iron bowl with my hand and whispered: "Don't be greedy, all living beings. The rice has been scattered and the rice bowl is left for next time."
After I finished speaking, I let go of my hand and became quiet this time, and the bowl stopped moving.
Needless to say, there must have been hungry ghosts fighting for food just now.
I glanced at Lian Xiaoru and saw the girl's eyes widened and her mouth opened wide, so I couldn't help but laugh.
It was strange that the boy Fang Tao was not frightened this time. I glanced at Fang Tao, and then I realized that the boy was looking at the bridge pier attentively, in a daze.
"Fang Tao, what's wrong with you?" I shouted to him.
"Hey! Look, there's a woman sitting on that bridge pier."
Fang Tao pointed to the bridge pier.
I looked towards the bridge pier and saw a woman sitting on it.
The woman wore a pair of high heels, black stockings, and a blue low-cut skirt, quietly gazing at the river.
"Sister, don't worry about it! It's so late, why don't you go back and go up to the bridge pier?"
Fang Tao shouted to the woman.
The woman looked at the river and sighed: "My husband is dead, what's the point of living?"
"Your husband died? How did he die?" Fang Tao asked.
Seeing this woman's stunned look, I couldn't help but feel nervous. I thought, this woman can't be a ghost!
At this time, Xiaoru also gently tugged on the corner of my clothes with her hand, and asked in a low voice: "Qiao Yang, there seems to be something wrong with this woman! Look, the pier is so high, how could she be a woman?
You have to go, even if you jump off the bridge, you still have to have some ability and courage!"
"I suspect that this woman is the legendary bridge-guarding ghost. It is said that every time a bridge is built, ghosts will gather on the piers below, and there will be at least one undead person guarding it. It is precisely because of this that people die when building bridges."
"It looks like it to me. How about you ask her first what kind of resentment she has. Once we know what she wants, we can take the right medicine." Now I have confidence in myself.
Since I killed several male ghosts with my palm thunder last night, I have become more and more confident in my spells.
I want to see how this female ghost performs. If she listens to me, then I will let her go. If she doesn't listen to me, I will just slap her and send her to see Marx.
"Sister, if you have anything on your mind, just say it! Don't hold it in and feel uncomfortable."
I shouted to the woman.
The woman sneered and said: "I have already said it. I killed my husband. There is no point in living. Half a month ago, he fell into the bridge pier and was buried alive by the cement. I got
We received 300,000 yuan in compensation. But what’s the use of all this?”
"Sister, can you leave here? Don't sit on the bridge pier. Can you go find your husband now? He is waiting for you down there!"
I thought to myself, it would be easy as long as this woman agreed.
Ghosts are usually straight-tempered. As long as she doesn't stay on the bridge pier, the bridge can be closed smoothly.
As soon as the bridge was closed, the boss named Peng would naturally stop looking for human sacrifice. This method of using grudges to control grudges is really a bit cruel. Even if he didn't look for me and Xiaoru, this guy would definitely look for us again.
Others will take his place. As for how to deal with this guy named Peng, that is a matter for later. Let’s solve the current problems first.
Instead of doing this, it would be better to persuade this female ghost to reincarnate as soon as possible.
"Woo!" The woman burst into tears: "I'm guilty. I killed my husband. I shouldn't let him come here. I shouldn't be greedy for this money."
After saying that, the woman suddenly stood up and was about to jump down.
