Huang Bo's weirdness made me feel a little scared, and his face seemed a little deformed.
"Okay, I can handle your apprentice's business, and I'll do it now. Follow me into the room."
We entered the room full of money, said Huang Bo.
"Director Ke, just watch. No matter what happens, don't move. Just watch. I'm letting you watch so that you can see my abilities. I've only shown this ability to two people in my life. You're the third one."
Huang Bo started to place mouth-watering coins in the open space on the north side. They were all five-cent coins, forming three circles. These three circles were used to avoid harm. There were three circles in total. Master Yunzheng told me that some knowledgeable families would place these three circles with black charcoal or other things in the middle of the yard or in the middle of a certain place in the house, and then bury them or cover them with carpets. This is to ward off evil spirits and to protect the house. This is completely different from the effect of Pichu or a convex mirror. This is absolutely true. Even if there is a big disaster in the family, it can be avoided. If it is really unavoidable, the big disaster will become a small disaster. It's just that the burning method of black charcoal is divided into different days. Also, when it is burned, there are dead people's bones and other things. Anyway, it is a very evil thing.
These also belong to Yin studies. At least I don't know whether they are true or not, but there are little ghosts in every family. Some are evil ghosts who just want to torment you for fun, and some are good ghosts. If you don't provoke them, they won't cause you any trouble. They are waiting for the day of reincarnation.
After three circles of Yin, one opening was left.
"Li Xiaohuan, walk from here into the circle. Remember, you're in the middle, facing north."
Li Xiaohuan was extremely nervous. It seemed that she was really scared. It was the first time she was so scared.
Li Xiaohuan walked to the middle of the three Yin circles, and Huang Bo sealed his mouth. As soon as it was sealed, the money in his mouth actually caught fire. Oh my god, this is impossible, it's metal, but it caught fire. I could tell it was Yin Fire. Huang Bo was chanting something, but I couldn't hear the number.
Li Xiaohuan looked at it, a little flustered.
Suddenly, Li Xiaohuan disappeared. I was startled and Huang Bo pointed at me.
The Yin Fire was extinguished, and he slowly opened the mouth of the Yin Sanquan and said.
"Li Xiaohuan will be out in twenty minutes."
"Can I speak?"
"It's ok now. We can still smoke a cigarette, but there's no place to sit here. We can only sit on the floor."
Huang Bo sat cross-legged on the ground and lit a cigarette.
"Where's Li Xiaohuan?"
"In the Yin San circle, you can't see her because she has no shadow, just like you can't see her shadow, but after a while you will see her shadow first."
"Why is there no shadow of her?"
"Humans are a combination of yin and yang. When yin is too strong, yang is too weak. Yang is like a flame that will go out little by little, which means that the person is going to die. If a person has too much yang and too little yin, it's like there is no sun. The person's shadow will be heavy. If it is heavy enough, there will be a disaster or sudden death. That is also a sign. If you use yin fire to roast today and yin money to buy your way out, there will be no problem."
I saw the shadow of Li Xiaohuan, and then Li Xiaohuan appeared. After she appeared, the money in my mouth disappeared all of a sudden.
"Take it. It's the money for buying your life. I have done my best."
"Thank you, Master Huang."
"I want to thank you because I got the dirty money."
"What kind of money is that? We don't recognize the words on it."
"This money belongs to an old man who is my neighbor. I used to have a good relationship with him. When he had nothing to do, he would always come over and we would play chess and chat. One time he took out this money, and I was stunned. This is exactly the kind of money I want. It is also a mouth-filled money. However, this money is too old. Speaking of this ancient coin, it is at least a thousand years old. It was dug out from a big tomb in the neighbor's house. It was found when the tomb was moved, and he got it in his hands. This is Yin Yang money. The word on it is Yin. Of course, you don't recognize it. I only recognize a few words. Only Yin Yang can produce such words. When the old man died, he asked his son to use this money as a mouth-filled money and examined the body again. This Yin mouth-filled money is very useful."
"What's it for?"
"How should I put it? We have two worlds, the Yin and Yang worlds. Of course, we are in the Yang world when we are alive, and we go to the Yin world after we die. Of course, there are people in this world who can communicate with Yin and Yang, such as shamans, but I have never seen one. We live in this Manchu place, and there were many shamans at that time. But this Yin black money is effective. If you hold it in your mouth, you will be like dead, and you can go to the Yin world to play."
"I was shocked. Old Huang, you are playing too big, aren't you? If you don't play well, it will be miserable if you can't come back."
"I have been waiting for this my whole life. I finally got the old guy's back after I died. He would never believe that I would steal his dirty money. If he took it away, he could go to the underworld and come back to the world of the living to see his relatives. Unfortunately, he can't come back."
"When you go to the underworld, won't I settle the score with you?"
"Hehe, he may not be able to beat me."
Huang Bo laughed out loud and said, "I think this person is a little too evil."
Li Xiaohuan and I went home. Under the moonlight, I could actually see her shadow. I breathed a sigh of relief.
The next day at work, I entered the dressing room and glanced at Li Xiaohuan. She was nervous.
"How about this, you choose to go somewhere other than the dressing room."
"Master, I still want to follow you."
Okay, you are not suitable for it, otherwise it will really kill people. You are so young, I don’t want to put that kind of makeup on you.
"Then listen to the master."
"Work in the refining room for a while."
I sent Li Xiaohuan to the refining room to learn from a master.
I also don’t go to the makeup room anymore, unless I have heavy makeup or makeup that is not easy to do, I will go there.
Liu Yang called me at noon when he was at work and asked me to go to the columbarium in Chixian immediately.
During this period, I seldom went to Liu Shougui's place because I was busy. There was a lot to do every day. There was a crematorium, with living and dead bodies, and even more things to do, big and small.
I went to the columbarium at Chixian Crematorium and Liu Yang was already there.
"Xiaozhe, something happened, my father is missing."
I was stunned. Liu Shougui rarely left this place, and when he did, it would only be for one or two days at most.
We entered the columbarium and there was a piece of black paper on the table. There were white words on it, very thin words. I didn’t recognize them, and neither did Liu Yang.
"Did you call your cell phone?"
Liu Yang pointed to some mobile phones on the bed, but Liu Shougui didn't bring his phone.
"Will you be at home? Have you gone to see your mother?"
"I went back and I felt that this note was left for us, but I couldn't understand the words on it. What are those words?"
I know, that is the word "Yin", because that is the word on the Yin black money. It seems I have to go find Huang Bo again.
I took the paper to find Huang Bo and knocked on the door, but there was no knock. I remembered that today was Wednesday and the night was between nine and ten o'clock, and we were not allowed to see guests on Wednesdays.
This old man actually has so many things to do.
The next day, when I went there again at nine o'clock in the evening, Huang Bo opened the door with Liu Yang.
He looked at us and let us in. I didn't say much to him and gave him the note. He looked at it for a long time and said.
"I said, I only know part of it. This should be a farewell letter. The general meaning is, I'm saying goodbye to you, but I'm not completely sure. There is another person who knows these words, and that's Ji Yihe."
I was stunned. Master Ji actually knew these words. I had no idea. So let's not waste time and go to Ji Yihe right away.
When he saw Ji Yihe, he glanced at the words on the paper and said.
"I don't know him. Go find He Dana. He Dana is the legless Crazy He. He has a very good relationship with your father Ke Zuo. He was your father's godfather. This guy actually lived to be 120 years old. I don't know what method he used. I simply can't understand it. I don't like this person very much."
I went to the place as Ji Yihe said and found He Dana directly. It was a courtyard house that looked exactly like in the south. It made me feel like I was in the south.
He Dana is a weird person. When I said it was Ke Zuo's son, Ke Mingzhe, he suddenly opened his eyes wide, which scared me.
"What's up?"
I handed him the paper and he took a look at it and said.
"This is a farewell letter. He said he was going to accompany his wife and told you not to look for him. It's useless because the matter is urgent and can't be handled. This is the only way."
"I think, Master He..."
"Call me Master."
I want to strangle this guy.
"Master, I want to ask you for help, my idol father."
He Dana glanced at Liu Yang.
"Liu Shougui, the ugly ghost actually has such a beautiful daughter. I knew he had a beautiful wife, but she died too early. If that's the case, then I have to help you because you are the son of my godson. If your father were alive, he would understand that he has learned almost everything from me. Unfortunately, he died before me, and the person who burned me didn't show up yet, so I can't die."
One hundred and twenty years old is quite impressive. His eyesight is not blurry and his ears are not deaf.
"Take me to the columbarium. I've only been there once in my life."
After I got He Dana into the car, we drove to the columbarium in Chixian. I pushed him into the columbarium and he looked at it for a long time and said.
"There's nothing here. He should have another place. You should know this place."
I looked at Liu Yang and she nodded. Then we took He Dana to the place.
It was so many years after my father died that I finally met He Dana. My father's life was mentioned, but there was no mention of godfather, so I just thought he was an old man in the crematorium, but such a thing happened.
That day, when the cold storage was opened, Liu Yang's mother's body was missing.
"That's not right. It was still there when I came yesterday, but it's gone today."
"Your father took it away. It's hard to say where he took it now, but there will be a kind of corpse smell. A corpse that has been stored for so many years cannot escape."
He Dana smiled strangely, and my heart tightened. I pushed He Dana away. He didn't let me drive, so I just pushed him. He said he could smell something, but I couldn't. Was He Dana kidding me? It was not fun to play with him.
I didn't expect that we would arrive at the gate of Chixian Crematorium. That was really evil. It seemed that He Dana was not necessarily deceiving us. I'm afraid something really happened here.
At this moment, the crematorium in Chixian was very quiet and all the work was finished.
The old man guarding the door saw Liu Yang and recognized him, but still refused to let him in, saying that outsiders were not allowed to enter.
"You need to find the director, right?"
I called the manager, and there was a holiday at that time, so the manager let us in.
There is a special place in Chi County, the temple room, where the body of a monk was once placed, but it was not cremated. I don’t know why it was placed there. This temple was built by the monk when he was alive. After his death, his disciples kept the body here for six years. It was only transported away six years later. As for what happened, I don’t know. Liu Shougui only mentioned it once and never mentioned it again. I asked two people, but he didn’t say anything.
He Dana stood in front of the door and said, "This is me. But it's quite troublesome to get in. This used to be the monks' morgue. After the monks' bodies were taken away, this place became idle and nothing was left here. Did you see the lock on the door? It hasn't rusted over the years. It's a special lock. Don't touch it. But this ugly ghost really has a way."
He always calls him ugly, and Liu Yang's face becomes unhappy.
"Will Master Liu be here?"
"Did I miss it?"
I don’t know if he missed it or not. It was also the first time I saw Dana Ho.
He Dana took out a key, and the key was actually crooked.
"Open."
I went over and really opened it, pulled open the door, and went in. It was a full glass freezer, and I saw two bodies covered with shrouds. They should be Liu Shougui and his wife.
I didn't go to see it, but came out, glanced at He Dana, and called Liu Yang aside.
"It's possible. Two bodies, but I didn't see them."
Liu Yang's tears suddenly came out.
"It's okay, it's okay, maybe it's okay."
He Dana couldn't get in, so he told me to look around the freezer carefully. Be sure to pay attention. If there is something inside, don't get close.
Liu Yang and I went in and turned on the light. It was still dark inside. We looked closely and saw that there was indeed a row of things surrounding the refrigerator, inserted into the ground and surrounding it. I couldn't see clearly what it was. It was a very small thing. (To be continued)
