I sat there with lingering fears, staring at the black cat dozing at the door, and told Big Eye what had just happened.
After listening, Big Eyes asked: "You mean this cat is following you?"
"It's not tracking me, it's tracking the two of us." I said.
Big eyes thought for a while and asked: "Why does it follow us?"
"Don't you know that cats are neither in the Chinese zodiac nor belong to the six animals. They are the pets of the devil? Especially black cats are easy to attract ghosts." Since I hit the evil, I have done many things in this respect. homework.
Big-eyed chuckles and laughed, and said: "I think you are too sensitive. According to you, isn't the gravekeeper the devil? Cats are indeed Yin, but they are not as evil as you said. Cats are good. Spiritual ones can get rid of evil spirits. Magicians in the West rely on cats to improve their spirituality. The ancient Egyptians also regarded cats as the incarnation and symbol of the goddess of the moon."
I glanced at the big dark fat cat again, and told the truth: "But I always feel uneasy in my heart."
"It's a bit weird indeed." After speaking, his eyes paused, and he said: "Since the cat has appeared, I guess the tomb guard should be nearby. Let's go look for it in the cemetery."
At this time, the sun was not so venomous, and there were a few cotton-like clouds floating on the horizon. As the wind blew, the half-person-high weeds rustled in the cemetery.
"Big eyes, the cemetery is very yin, don't you feel yin?"
"Why can't I feel it, but the cemetery is originally a place with a heavy atmosphere."
"Then do you think there are ghosts hidden in the grass?"
"There are ghosts under every tombstone, but not every ghost will harm people."
I followed Big Eye and comforted myself: "Yes, ghosts are good too. Last time I helped Zhao Youde move, I saw a lot of ghosts helping him load the car, and I was very enthusiastic."
rustle…
Behind me, there was another Xisuosuo's voice. I hurriedly looked back and found that the big black cat was following us, alerting us like a thief.
"Big eyes, the black cat is following us."
Big eyes stopped, looked back, and said, "It's okay. We didn't do bad things or steal things."
This time, Big Eye and I walked the entire cemetery from beginning to end, but still did not find the shadow of the grave guard.
The big black cat didn't know when it ran out of shadow. Looking up at the sky, it was already sunset, and a large cloud of fire like blood hung from the sky, staining the entire cemetery red.
Big Eye and I walked out of the cemetery again, the black cat still languidly lying on duty
At the door of the room, he raised his head and looked into the cemetery from time to time.
This behavior of the black cat makes me feel like a dog.
Dayan and I sat in the duty room for a while, and when the sky gradually darkened, I repeated the old tune and asked, "Bigeye, where do you say the grave guard would go? If he never shows up, could it? Shall we wait for him all night?"
With big eyes and two fingers pinching the cigarette, he said helplessly: "Otherwise, what should I do? Don't you find it, go back and continue to be haunted by ghosts?"
"I'm worried that the gravekeeper is also a ghost."
Pointing at the furnishings in the room with big eyes, he said, "Ghost drinks hot water? Read a book? Worship Bodhisattva?" He stood up and walked to the cabinet and opened the drawer. "And this, ghosts will definitely not use these things."
Big eyes threw the thing in his hand to me, took it in his hand and saw that it turned out to be a *** or a mighty card. The guardian of the tomb is less than 60 years old, so he still uses this stuff? Then he is too mighty!
Okay, I admit that ghosts don't need to ***, the tombkeeper is not a ghost, but where did he go
At this moment, the big black cat at the door suddenly stood up and looked into the cemetery. Dayan and I hurriedly walked to the door and looked into the cemetery.
A figure was slowly walking out of the cemetery. When I got closer, I said silently, "It's him, the cemetery guard. Why did he come out of the cemetery?"
The tomb guard is still wearing the black clothes, shoulder-length gray hair in a ponytail behind his head, his eyes are sharp, and I don’t know if it’s too dark last time and I didn’t see clearly, and his skin is not as memorable. Full of gullies, I always feel that he is a bit younger than last time.
If I thought he was more than 60 years old last time, it was only 50 years old.
The tomb guard looked at me and Big Eyes, and finally his gaze fell on me. His sharp eyes made me very uncomfortable, making me feel like I was stripped naked and thrown on the street.
"Why are you here again?" he asked.
"Old man, last time we didn't know Taishan, we were offended. We encountered something difficult, and would like to ask you to help..."
Before Big Eye finished speaking, the grave guard walked directly into the duty room. Big eyes were a bit embarrassed, but immediately followed in, and I hurriedly walked to the door.
The tomb guard bent over and took out a bamboo basket from under the bed, and there was a lantern in the bamboo basket. Horse lantern is another name for kerosene lamp. A portable, weatherproof kerosene lamp that can be hung on a horse during night riding. This kind of lamp is common in film and television dramas. But it was the first time to meet me in reality.
Suddenly I found that I was still holding it in my hand
The mighty card *** that Big Eye gave me was not in his absence. After all, it was impolite to flip through his things. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, I hurriedly put the *** into my pocket.
Big Eye continued: "My friend hit an evil, and he hit a big evil. I know a little bit about Dao and deeds, but because of my inadequate ability, I was also entangled by ghosts."
The grave guard raised his eyes to look at me and said, "Your body is indeed worse than last time."
What he said about being unclean was of course not that I should take a bath, but that I was being harassed by ghosts. He lit the lantern, then walked out of the room with the bamboo basket on his back, and walked towards the cemetery. The big black cat immediately followed him like a shadow.
Dayan and I were stunned, and rushed to him. We walked to the cemetery with the cemetery guard left and right, no matter what the big eyes said, he did not gnaw.
Seeing the big eyes winking at me, I hurriedly said: "Old sir, I said you listen, don’t think we are bothersome, I am a truck driver, and it happened two months ago. Oh, I also hit an evil one before. It was because I was peeing in the car while driving, but after seeing the incense with the goddess, the matter was resolved, mainly the incident two months ago..."
I recounted my own experience from the previous experience, and after talking about the key things, Big Eye helped to add it to the side.
But no matter how you say it, the tomb guard just doesn't chew, and he doesn't even look at us at me, but concentrates on his own business.
The tomb guard is very simple, carrying a bamboo basket and carrying lanterns, turning around each tombstone like a patrol, and when he sees the tribute left on the grave, he picks it up and puts it in the bamboo basket. It took two hours to turn all the tombstones.
He picked up a total of twelve tributes in front of the tombstone, which was the same as the number of people who came to the grave at noon today. Except for snacks, they were basically fruits such as apples and bananas.
Dayan and I were talking dry and dry, but he kept pretending to be deaf and dumb. I was a little unhappy and said, "Sir, you are talking."
The tomb guard carried a lantern and shone it around. After seeing the big black cat still following us, he said: "I am a tomb guard. I only do things related to my job. If you want to get rid of evil spirits and catch ghosts, you should find someone else. Right."
Big Eye said: "Old man, what we do in this profession is to balance the yin and yang, walk the way for the sky, and help others is also to accumulate yin virtue. You can't die without saving, right?"
The tomb guard turned his head to look into the big eyes, suddenly smiled, and said, "I never accumulate yin virtue."
Meow meow…
The big black cat under his feet screamed twice, seeming to echo the tombkeeper's statement.
