Seeing that I seemed to be thinking about something, Master Jiang asked, "Brother Tianyi, what's wrong with you? It seems that you still have some questions."
"Speaking of which, you have gained a lot from this search for the black-bearded fruit. You actually got the Yin De that Zhang Quezi passed on to you. That thing is not easy to get. It is a great opportunity for you!"
I turned around and said with a smile: "Master Jiang, you know the situation at that time. Zhang Quezi's Yinde is not what I want. He transferred it to me."
Master Jiang shook his head and said, "I think you are taking advantage of me!"
I smiled and then asked Master Jiang, "By the way, Master Jiang, when we entered Shan Daye's bedroom just now, I noticed that your expression changed. Did you find something?"
Master Jiang did not hide anything and said, "Indeed, there was a discovery. Fortunately, it was made in time! You may not know that a ghost appeared in the bedroom of Shan Daye's family. He was holding a mourning stick and was probably waiting for Yan Huanhuan's body to die completely and her soul to leave her body. He might be preparing to take her soul away!"
"What? A ghost messenger?"
I was shocked and asked hurriedly, "But why didn't I see it? Logically speaking, my Taoism has improved a lot now!"
Master Jiang said: "That's because the ghost messenger is not visible to everyone. Even if the Taoist priest smears the crow's tears on him, it won't work."
"But what I find strange is that I calculated Yan Huanhuan's life span when I lit the life-extending lamp earlier, and she should still have quite a bit of life left. But why did the ghost messenger appear in the Shan Daye family? "
What Master Jiang and I didn't know was that shortly after Master Jiang and I left Shan Daye's villa, just as Shan Daye and his wife were about to enter the villa, a bodyguard wearing sunglasses who was following them suddenly pulled out a knife from his waist.
The knife stabbed into Shan Daye's back.
Shan Daye was stabbed in the heart and lungs by the knife and died tragically at the door.
At that time, Yan Huanhuan was so scared that she fell to the ground, crying and screaming.
By the time the other bodyguard reacted, the bodyguard who killed Shan Daye had already pulled out a knife and committed suicide.
Later I heard that the bodyguard who killed Shan Daye was actually the brother of Shan Daye's lover.
The bodyguard was newly recruited by Shan Daye. The reason why he attacked Shan Daye was because his sister was favored by Shan Daye and forced to become his lover.
Shan Daye previously said that he and the girl named Xiao Fei were in a relationship that was consensual, but in reality that was not the case at all.
It seems that there are so many things in this world that it is hard to explain them all.
Shan Daye was killed and the bodyguard committed suicide.
After the two people died tragically, no one knew that a ghost holding a mourning stick floated up to their bodies.
The ghost took away the souls in their bodies.
It was a little after eleven o'clock in the evening. The dark clouds had disappeared and the moon was bright.
However, Master Jiang and I did not set out immediately to look for the monster.
The main reason was that we were all very tired. After all, we had been bumping on the road for almost a day.
Master Jiang suggested in the car: "Brother Tianyi, I think it's already so late, let's go catch the monster tomorrow morning. I have to go back to the crematorium and send the car back. If you have nothing to do, you can come with me, I have a place to stay there anyway!"
I had never been to a crematorium, so I agreed.
In the car, I planned to call Ma Qiang and tell him that I
I won’t be going back to the apartment for two days because I have something to do, but I can’t get through to Ma Qiang on the phone.
I curled my lips and thought to myself, it seems that boy has gone somewhere to pick up girls again.
The funeral car quickly drove to the crematorium in the city.
Many vehicles on the road gave way when they saw the funeral car. Perhaps the drivers thought it was unlucky.
But in fact, after death, most people still "sit" in a hearse, right?! Just like what was said in the skit, that little box is your permanent home.
This is my first time to visit a crematorium, and it’s a crematorium in the city.
It's very big here.
But it was very different from the crematorium I imagined. It was located in the west of the city and looked quite remote. The tallest building inside was only three stories high, and few of the lights were on. Master Jiang said that the three-story building was the staff dormitory.
When I asked, I found out that there were only a dozen or so employees in the entire crematorium.
Although it is a staff dormitory, Master Jiang said that sometimes there is no room for corpses in the 'dead room', so the corpses will be placed in unused rooms in the dormitory building.
This is quite fresh and a bit sensational.
Maybe the two adjacent houses are occupied by crematorium employees, and the other house contains a dead body.
The so-called room of the dead is actually the morgue.
The big iron gate of the crematorium is quite big, but a little rusty.
When the funeral car drove into the crematorium, it encountered many relatives of the deceased in mourning. The car did not stop, but drove directly to the back of the crematorium staff dormitory building.
We entered the staff dormitory through the back door.
Master Jiang stopped at the door of a room at the corner of the first floor of the dormitory building.
He introduced it to me and said, “This is where I live!”
The door was not locked and opened easily.
Maybe no one would come to the crematorium to steal things.
Master Jiang pulled the cord and the incandescent lamp came on. The light was a little yellow.
The room was very clean, about 20 square meters, with two bunk beds.
Master Jiang poured me a glass of water and said politely, "When you come to my place, you feel like you are back home. I don't care about that much and I am very casual! You don't have to be polite!"
I smiled and said, "Okay!"
Then Master Jiang started to cook the noodles, and we chatted while he was cooking.
When we talked about Master Jiang himself, he didn't say much. It seems that Master Jiang is also a person with a story. It is true that everyone is an independent individual and it is normal to have their own secrets.
"Forget it, don't talk about me!"
Master Jiang changed the subject and said to me, "Brother Tianyi, I have something to remind you of."
"What's up?"
I asked after taking a sip of water.
Master Jiang said in a deep voice: "It's about that lame Zhang who transferred his good deeds to you."
"Although Yin De is a rare thing for us Taoists, it is easy to trigger the 'five disadvantages and three deficiencies' if so much Yin De is bestowed on you at once."
"At the beginning, you may not feel the five disadvantages and three shortcomings, but now that you have so much good karma, I'm afraid the five disadvantages and three shortcomings will come early!"
The five disadvantages and three shortcomings are indeed a troublesome thing.
I couldn't help but ask, "Master Jiang, do you know which of the five disadvantages and three shortcomings I have committed?"
Master Jiang shook his head and said, "I don't know. If this kind of thing happens to you, it's hard for others to know unless you reveal it. And with the five disadvantages and three shortcomings, you will definitely encounter some things."
"Something happened
”
I am very confused.
Master Jiang explained: "Let me give you an example! Take Zhang the Cripple for example. He became a cripple. In fact, he violated the five vices and three deficiencies, which is the disability. The accompanying thing is that he was beaten and crippled. But disability is still better. If he is disabled or disabled alone, then it will be troublesome!"
Lack of destiny means short life. Lack of solitude means a life of loneliness.
"Do you get me?"
I nodded, and even though I was still a little nervous, I still had a smile on my face.
I smiled and said, "It's okay. Since I've already stepped into this business, I can only leave it to fate!"
A smile appeared on Master Jiang's face, but he really wasn't suitable to smile, as it looked ugly when he did.
Master Jiang smiled and said, "You are quite open-minded. But it is fine this way. Just like you said, just leave it to fate. If you are short of money or power, it doesn't matter!..."
I had a very pleasant chat with Master Jiang and we had almost finished our noodles.
Just when we finished chatting and were getting ready to go to bed, someone suddenly knocked on the door of Master Jiang's dormitory.
A man's urgent voice came.
"Master Jiang, are you back?"
Master Jiang couldn't help but frown and said in a serious voice, "You're back! What's wrong? Didn't I park the car in the garage? Didn't the boss see it? Why is he still looking for me?!"
The man hurriedly said, "No, no... Master Jiang, please don't misunderstand! It's not that you drove away the funeral car without permission, it's that a body was lost in the crematorium!"
Master Jiang suddenly sat up from the bed, put on his shoes, and got down to the ground.
He opened the door, looked at the person who came in, and asked, "Xu Guang, what's going on? Tell me first!"
The man then told the story of how the body was lost.
It turned out that there were two people on night duty at the crematorium tonight, and they were mainly responsible for patrolling. However, when the two patrolling people came to the morgue, one of them found that the door of the morgue, which was originally locked, was open.
The two men were both in their thirties, younger than Master Jiang, and were recent employees. When they found the morgue door open, they thought they had forgotten to lock it, so they walked in together.
The lights in the morgue are usually on.
But when Xu Guang was about to lock the door of the morgue, another man named Wei Dajiang accidentally glanced and discovered that the morgue where the corpse was originally placed was empty.
The body is missing!
This frightened Wei Dajiang so much that he lost his soul and immediately fainted.
Xu Guang also found something wrong, but he was much braver than Wei Dajiang. So when he found that the body was missing from the morgue, he immediately thought of Master Jiang who often lived in the crematorium.
So in a flash, the person on duty named Xu Guang rushed over here.
I glanced at Xu Guang. His face was pale, his legs were trembling, and there was fear in his eyes.
"Okay, wait a minute, I'll go with you to take a look!" Master Jiang said in a deep voice.
Xu Guang hurriedly said, "Okay, okay!"
Then Master Jiang left the door, returned to ** to put on his clothes, and took the cloth bag containing the magic tools.
I lay on the bed and asked, "Master Jiang, do you need my help?"
Master Jiang shook his head and said, "It's okay. Maybe those two guys scared themselves. I'll go out and take a look. Even if someone really stole the body, we have surveillance cameras here, so it shouldn't be difficult to find. You've been tired all day, take a rest!"
"All right!"
Since Master Jiang said so, I didn’t pay too much attention to it.
