[Anecdotes in Jiyang] Topic: Did anyone pass by Jingui Pedestrian Street yesterday?
Content: The landlord is still very afraid and dares to post during the day. At 11 o'clock last night, I passed over the Jingui Pedestrian Street after working overtime. I passed by the door of Baoyangguan. I heard the sound of chanting scriptures inside. I was curious and looked in through the crack of the door. As a result, I saw a lot of people, and I wondered why I was still here so late, but when I looked closely, these people didn't touch the ground, and then I suddenly remembered that last night was the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the Taoist priests were doing things by singing the scriptures!
1L: ? ? ? It's scary, it's true
2L: Don’t be kidding me, there are still people dancing at Liming Square at Jingui Pedestrian Street at night, and ghosts are scared away, right?
3L: No one seemed to be doing square dancing last night, but the area was lively enough
4L: Landlord, you have hallucinations, go to the hospital
5L: Why is it Baoyang Temple again? There was a post two days ago asking if the talisman of Baoyang Temple is still alive or not. You can’t be the sailors of Baoyang Temple, right?
6L: Uh, landlord, have you had a particularly low fortune recently? Don't go out at night during Mid-Yuan Festival. It's easy to see this kind of thing. Fortunately, you saw it at a Taoist temple...
…
18L: I work near Baoyang Temple. This place is really amazing. There was a company employee downstairs who didn’t believe me and said some disrespectful words at the entrance of the Taoist Temple.
19L: It was previously rumored that there were no mosquitoes in Baoyang Temple. I visited and there were no mosquitoes. I also found a very sad thing. They are so poor that there is only one Taoist priest in their entire Taoist view. I guess they have no money to hire a navy?
…
45L: …I kind of believe it. My aunt was at the scene last night. She didn't see a ghost, but told me that two believers felt cold in the middle, as if there was something around them. And after I went back in the evening, my aunt had a dream about my grandfather (last night was to get a spiritual position for the deceased grandfather), saying that my grandfather smiled at her in the dream, and told her to take care of herself in the future.
46L: Oh, don't scare me upstairs, I'll take it seriously! !
Xie Lingya shut down the website. He heard about the post on the Zhongyuan Fa Conference last night on a local forum, so he deliberately went online to read it. He doesn't usually go to this forum, but at this time, it is very good to understand the image of this concept.
Because the subject name of the post only mentioned Jingui Pedestrian Street and not Baoyang Temple, Xie Lingya searched for it for a while, went in and browsed, and found that he was not the only one who saw Baiguishou pilaf last night.
But the landlord who saw the ghost is different from him, it should be because the fortune is too low or the anger is too weak.
This kind of person is still rare. Like He Zun, his fortune is not very good recently, but he didn't see it directly last night, he just had a strong sense, which shows that the landlord is even weaker than He Zun.
Someone downstairs had already reminded the landlord to be careful during the Mid-Autumn Festival night, and Xie Lingya didn't pay any more attention.
Although the scale of the Zhongyuan Dharma Conference held at Baoyang Temple last night was not very large, it had an excellent reputation, and both believers and onlookers who participated felt it. Today, several believers came to the Taoist temple on purpose and told Zhang Daoting that they dreamed of their deceased relatives last night.
With this incident, they can say that they are more confident in their beliefs. They asked Zhang Daoting for advice on how to practice, and even a few believers asked if they could come to the temple to do volunteer work. Baoyangguan is quite short of people, and naturally he will not refuse.
People who often go to Baoyang Temple also heard about the Fa conference, which became a hot topic of discussion for them for several days, and regretted not coming to the Fa conference. Those who attended had a wonderful sense of mission and took the trouble to tell those who came to ask about their experiences.
This matter has been widely circulated, and the discussion on the local forum has also made it even more mysterious.
Different from the pilgrims, for those who have no faith and are outside the information radiating circle, they are more interested in urban strange news, such as ghosts and so on.
In the evening, Xie Lingya went to Ding Aima again, "Did you come to watch last night?"
Ding Aima said, "I keep hearing the bell from you all the time, but I don't want to go, because I feel like it's telling me to die... oh no, it's going to be transcended."
It is not compulsory to summon the soul of the Zhongyuan Fa Conference. Some ghosts do not want to leave, so they will not go there.
"You can hear it so far, it's supernatural," Xie Lingya said, "I didn't do the ghost investigation last night. I'm too inexperienced. I don't know if I'll have a chance next year. The ghosts are all serene, so it shouldn't be uncomfortable."
"It's second, it mainly sounds like they have no interest!" Ding Aima said.
Xie Lingya: "??"
Are you bored? Do you know what idiom you are using?
Ding Aima said with a look of longing in his eyes, "I'd better continue to be a ghost, I think they have nothing to do after being overrun... I work part-time because I want to live in a big house in the future, this place has been built and started to be renovated, soon I can live in a big house without spending any money.”
Xie Lingya was a little envious after hearing this. Yes, he was really envious. Isn't this place much better than the decoration of their Taoist temple.
"Forget it, twisted melons aren't sweet." Xie Lingya looked at the time, "I'll go back first. There's nothing for wild ghosts in the urban area. If you want to eat, go to the back door of our Taoist temple, there at night. food."
Ding Aima swallowed, "Okay!"
This is probably the only thing that Ding Aima is dissatisfied with. There are many foods that are seen but not eaten.
All the ghosts and gods in the underworld would have nothing to eat if they hadn't specially sacrificed food. That's why there is a saying, "When a man is full, it lasts for a day, and when a ghost is full, it lasts for a year."
…
Tonight, because it was still July 16, the Taoist temple closed early. Xie Lingya taught Zhang Daoting to draw talismans in the backyard, but not everyone had his talent. Zhang Daoting said, "Oh, I think I recite those rituals. It's alright to make a hand, but it's really hard to draw a talisman!"
Such complex characters must be drawn in one go, and he must be distracted to think. Just one talisman is enough for him to practice for a long time, and there are more than a hundred Taoist talismans.
Xie Lingya asked him to practice all the signature charms of Baoyang Temple.
Shi Changxuan contacted his mentor on the side. It is said that although the other party is a scholar, he has studied for many years and still has a little understanding of their internal situation, and he has long known Shi Changxuan's family. The reason for the call is to care about Shi Changxuan's life.
Shi Changxuan told his tutor that he would still be staying in a Taoist temple in the future, and hung up without saying much.
"You haven't been to the school yet, it's quite big. I'll show you the way on the first day of school." Xie Lingya said very kindly. Before Shi Changxuan could answer, he heard some noise outside the back door, and got up to open the door to see.
I saw a young police officer in a police uniform among some vendors outside. It was Police Officer Wang who was in charge of their area, and a little girl who looked like a student was crying and weeping.
"What's wrong?" Xie Lingya couldn't help asking.
A fruit seller, Xie Lingya, said, "Xiao Xie, this girl dropped a bag here before and was picked up. It contained three months' living expenses. This is a dead spot for surveillance. I'm asking who sees it. arrive."
However, in such a situation, they all know in their hearts, and the hope is relatively slim.
Officer Wang saw Xie Lingya and asked, "Xie Lingya, did you open the back door and what did you see?"
Xie Lingya just wanted to say that our back door is not open at all, but suddenly thought of something and said, "Wait a minute, I'll ask other people."
He ran back to get the cinnabar, and quickly drew the spirit officer's eyes between his eyebrows. When he went out again this time, he could see what he wanted to see - as expected, Ding Aima was squatting on the steps to plan rice, and there were two others beside him. A wild ghost was robbing him, and the three ghosts were fighting with one hand and taking time to eat.
Xie Lingya: "…"
Someone saw that Xie Lingya had drawn something on his forehead when he came back, and said straightly, "Why is the face still painted?"
Xie Lingya let out a haha, "I'm just kidding."
Looking at Ding Aima again, he opened his mouth wide and tried desperately to stuff rice into his mouth, the corner of his mouth was bitten by another ghost, and a third of it could leak out.
Ding Aima took the time to look at Xie Lingya, knew what he meant, and said vaguely: "There was a man in his thirties who saw that there was no one beside him, and took it away, wearing light blue jeans, a yellow top, and a tattoo on his chest. A monkey, seems to be wearing a red bracelet."
Xie Lingya then said to Police Officer Wang: "Brother Wang, I have asked clearly, it should be picked up by a man in his thirties who was wearing light blue jeans, a top with a monkey figure on a yellow background, and a red bracelet. Let's see if you can find the face in the surveillance video."
The little girl was suddenly full of hope, and the merchants onlookers also said that they were lucky, and someone really saw it.
Officer Wang also felt lucky. Not only did he have witnesses, but he also remembered the details so clearly, so he quickly asked Xie Lingya to thank him and took the little girl to watch the video.
The little girl looked at Xie Lingya, but her face was slightly red, and she whispered: "That..."
Although Xie Lingya had a strange symbol drawn between his eyebrows, he looked a little bit middle-aged, but the bright red cinnabar made him even more fair-skinned and his eyebrows and eyes looked better. She summoned the courage and said, "Can you leave a contact information, I want to thank you when you find me? ."
Everyone had ambiguous smiles on their faces, thinking that this little sister is smart, even if she didn't find the bag, it would be good to be able to find a boyfriend.
Even Police Officer Wang felt speechless. I didn't expect that she was still crying just now, but now she was in the mood to strike up a conversation, but she didn't urge her.
Another good person joked: "This place is a Taoist temple."
The little girl's face collapsed. This place is a Taoist temple. She really didn't see it from the back door. Then this person lives in a Taoist temple. Could it be a monk?
"But Xiao Xie is not a Taoist priest." Someone else said it.
"..." The little girl felt that her mood was like riding a roller coaster.
Xie Lingya didn't know whether to laugh or cry. This little girl looked at the age of high school. "You should go and find your wallet. If you want to thank you, just go back to Baoyangguan and find Daoist Zhang." He threw it away without any pressure. Zhang Daoting.
"Okay, thank you." The little girl glanced at Xie Lingya again with nostalgia before leaving.
Zhang Daoting and the others were sitting in the backyard with the door open. Although they couldn't see outside, they could vaguely hear voices, including Xie Lingya throwing his bag on Zhang Daoting, but what could he say.
After Xie Lingya came back, Zhang Daoting said curiously, "Boss, when did you see the person picking up the money?"
After dinner, they were all sitting here studying Talismans, and the boss asked the little girl to find him, but he never opened the back door.
Xie Lingya said nonsense: "I learned clairvoyance, what I see, you learn ten sets of talismans earlier, and I will teach you too."
Zhang Daoting was stunned for a moment, then turned to ask Shi Changxuan: "Shi Changxuan, wouldn't it be true? Tianyantong really exists?" It doesn't look like someone who likes to fool people.
Shi Changxuan shook his head, "It's not that mysterious."
Zhang Daoting: "Hey, I'll just say..."
Shi Changxuan: "It should be the ghost who asked the door."
Zhang Daoting: "..."
Hey no, this is also very mysterious...!
In a few days, it was time for the opening of Quedong College, and Xie Lingya happily accompanied Shi Changxuan to report.
He is a local and has studied at Quedong College for four years. He is naturally familiar with the field. Although he does not know anyone from the philosophy department, it is always alright to report and pay the fees. The procedures are similar.
On the way, Xie Lingya also met a few acquaintances, and their first question was: "Senior, I heard that you have become a monk?"
Xie Lingya: "... nonsense! I just work in a Taoist temple!"
Xie Lingya first practiced in Baoyang Temple, and then helped Cheng Jie to exorcise ghosts. Cheng Jie said that he wanted to continue the postgraduate entrance examination in the future, so he mainly talked about Shi Changxuan he introduced. It was him who became a monk.
Junior brothers and sisters are relieved, that's not too bad, Taoism also needs finance. But they don't know that generally, the finances of such places also require religious beliefs, even lay people.
"I heard that your Taoist temple still sells talismans, and there are still people buying them in our school. Is it really smart?" The reputation of Baoyang Temple is becoming more and more well-known in Jiyang City, and even schoolmates have heard about it.
It's not just that we are selling it, but I actually drew it. Xie Lingya thought to himself, "If it doesn't work well, you will find out if you try it yourself. Report my name and get a 20% discount."
"Haha, that's good." However, everyone was still concerned about one question, and that was who this handsome guy was with Xie Lingya.
Xie Lingya considered that Shi Changxuan was not a hilarious personality. During the short period of time he lived in Baoyang Temple, he usually lived very restrained, and he didn't use his mobile phone much, so he introduced it lightly, making him want Shi Chang a little. The school girl who had no contact information was too embarrassed to say anything.
Seeing this, Shi Changxuan didn't say anything, he acquiesced.
Saying goodbye to these younger brothers and sisters, Xie Lingya accompanied Shi Changxuan to complete the formalities, and by the way, he visited Quedong College and gave him a brief introduction before going back.
…
Xie Lingya returned to Taoist Temple and did not see Zhang Daoting in front of him, so he asked a believer who was volunteering here.
After the Mid-Autumn Festival, a total of three believers became volunteers at Baoyang Temple. They would take turns to help out and do some work such as reception and registration, which relieved Zhang Daoting a lot.
The volunteer replied: "Zhang Daochang and others went to the backyard, as if to clear their doubts."
Confused? Are you also a believer? Xie Lingya felt strange, and went to the room in the backyard with Shi Changxuan, and saw Zhang Daoting sitting at the table with two men, both of them dressed professionally, one in their thirties and the other a little older.
Seeing that Xie Lingya and both of them were dressed as monks, they thought they were also looking for Zhang Daoting to solve their confusion, and said, "Can you wait outside, classmate? We haven't finished talking with Zhang Daoting."
"No, I misunderstood, this is our Taoist temple... The person in charge, Senior Brother Xie Lingya, and Shi Daochang who placed orders on our side. He is a Taoist priest of Zhengyi Huoju, so he doesn't dress up." Zhang Daoting explained quickly. For a while, there was a sense of relief that they had finally returned.
After the two heard it, and then looked at Zhang Daoting's expression, they all realized that Xie Lingya's identity was very important. Now many temples and Taoist temples in scenic spots have been contracted, but that kind of boss definitely doesn't know what's going on inside the temple, Xie Lingya is different.
Zhang Daoting called Senior Brother Xie Lingya in front of people because Xie Lingya taught him something, but he and Xie Lingya were the same generation, and the two of them felt that Xie Lingya was also an expert.
The two sat down on the sofa, and Xie Lingya asked casually, "Are you guys here to do something?"
Among them, the oldest man, about forty years old, said: "... About the same, we are from Yishui Mining. I want to ask Zhang Daochang to show us Feng Shui, and then make a dojo."
Queshan Province is rich in minerals, especially gold and jade. Yishui Mining belongs to Queshan Mining Group, a state-owned enterprise in the provincial capital. There are several mines in Diyang. If it is this kind of company, then the channel is not surprising.
Jinyang produces gold, silver, and coal, so the place names also like gold and jade. Moreover, most of the mines in Tuyang are located in non-urban areas, or in subordinate counties.
Xie Lingya's father works in the county seat, and he told Xie Lingya that the mining area is more superstitious, and many mines will not let women go down the mine, and there are many taboos like this. There are folk magic sticks over there doing things in the mines, and the money they charge is higher than that of a formal Taoist temple like Taiheguan.
This is still much better. In the 1960s and 1970s, cattle, ghosts, snakes and gods were all killed. It has been affecting the 1980s and 1990s. People still think that superstition is wrong. Now, some people in the mines have become more particular, but the atmosphere is not so serious.
It’s good to say that Xie Lingya has no research on Feng Shui. Zhang Daoting was worried about this just now. He added: “Old… Brother, it’s like this. They have a coal mine that is often haunted recently. Because they have built new buildings, they are suspicious of Feng Shui. Something went wrong. I heard about the Zhongyuan Dharma Conference from a believer, and I hope we can also do a transcendental dojo in the past, and take a look at Feng Shui by the way.”
It turns out that it is no wonder that they are not looking for people in the county. The Zhongyuan Fa will be very effective and attract them.
Xie Lingya doesn't know much about feng shui. He has only been working on talismans and miscellaneous arts recently. It stands to reason that he can only take half of this job, but he knows that Shi Changxuan is good at feng shui. The last time Uncle He Zun had an accident. , Shi Changxuan showed his hand slightly.
But it stands to reason that Shi Changxuan is just placing orders here. According to Taiheguan Taoist priest, he is not just picking up jobs. When Xie Lingya coaxed Shi Changxuan to come here before, he said he didn't want him to do anything.
At this moment, Xie Lingya cheekily looked at Shi Changxuan and called him regularly: "Shi Daochang..."
Shi Changxuan: "..."
Shi Changxuan said to the people of Yishui Mining: "Do you have any photos?"
photo? They reacted, they should be referring to the photos of the building, and quickly took out a tablet computer and showed Shi Changxuan a small video, "This is here, Liuhe Mine, this building is newly built, and no one was invited to see Feng Shui at that time. It doesn't feel right."
Xie Lingya asked, "What exactly is wrong?"
When they came to see the appearance of the Taoist temple, they thought it was a little unreliable, but they came in and chatted with the believers here, and after listening to some deeds and seeing the mosquito-free scene, they changed their views. At this time, listening to Xie Lingya's questions, all of them did not answer.
"Liu, you're all in the mine, tell me." The man at the head said to the man in his thirties next to him.
The Mr. Liu nodded and said, "When the building was not finished, there was an accident in the mine. Fortunately, no one died that time. After the construction was completed, a worker had an accident underground and died. Strange things often happen down here, and not long ago, there was a power outage at the mine, and there were people in the office... Hell, they fell ill.
"Before that, our mine had had zero casualties for six consecutive years! That time, the coal transporter suddenly broke the chain, and the workers inexplicably fell to the coal point and died while repairing. Alas! It's too strange, and it was haunted afterwards, so I suspected it was the building. It was caused by the change of feng shui, and I want to ask if there is any remedy. Then, I will also be a dojo to save the dead."
Mining has always been very dangerous, workers have some safety problems, and the mine is dark and closed, which is why the mine is somewhat superstitious.
Liuhe Mine has not had a safety accident for six years in a row. It went out after the building was built, and strange things happened in the mine, and now even the office is haunted. Even if there is no problem with feng shui, it really needs to be done.
Shi Changxuan also watched the video at this time, and said: "From the video alone, there is no problem. The new building is built on the central axis, and the square has been built to hide the wind and gather Qi. The old buildings on both sides are like hugs, but it adds balance. The mountain behind is like a terrace, and there is no conflict with the building."
"Yes, yes, someone said before that our mines are in good shape." Mr. Liu nodded hurriedly, "But only the building has changed."
Shi Changxuan shook his head gently, "I mean from the video alone. Mining and excavation, the interior of the building has not been photographed, not necessarily."
If there is an obvious problem, he can see it from the video, but if there are details or hidden problems, he can only go to the scene to check.
The man at the head said: "So I want to trouble the experts to go to Liuhe Mine to help solve this trouble. We will reimburse the car and horse accommodation, and the remuneration will be 150,000 after the event."
Shi Changxuan didn't look very interested, but Xie Lingya was interested in this amount of money, so he hesitated: "Do you have to do a three-day dojo?"
There are only a few people in their Taoist temples, and it takes three days to go out. Is it inconvenient to let the laymen bear them all?
Mr. Liu said: "This... yes, it must be three days."
Xie Lingya looked at Shi Changxuan again. Apart from the time issue, Shi Changxuan had to come out of this feng shui.
Shi Changxuan: "I only have time for two weekends."
Xie Lingya was overjoyed, "Enough. That Daoting is in the hall, and I will go with Daochang Shi."
Those three people originally came to invite Zhang Daoting, but they agreed to let Xie Lingya and Shi Changxuan go after their internal discussions. Anyway, Zhang Daoting called Xie Lingya senior brother, and Shi Changxuan just showed his hand.
Mr. Liu asked again, "Can Daochang Shi's affairs be brought forward a little bit? It would be better if it could be Friday."
Shi Changxuan said lightly, "No, I have class on Friday."
Three people: "… "
Although they have already convinced themselves in their hearts that being young does not mean that they are incompetent, it is still a bit weird to hear Shi Changxuan say that he goes to school. It turns out that Taoist priests also go to school...
…
After the people from Yishui Mining left, Xie Lingya thought about it for a while, and said to Shi Changxuan and Zhang Daoting, "Don't you think it's weird, since they also pay attention to feng shui, why didn't they ask someone to take a look when they built the building? "
Shi Changxuan said unsurprisingly, "There is indeed something strange, and there should be some scruples that I didn't say."
Xie Lingya thought about it too. After all, it is a company with many people, and it is the first time to cooperate with them. It is not necessary to explain everything in detail, "It makes sense, I just want to do a dojo anyway."
On the weekend, Mr. Liu drove to pick up Xie Lingya and Shi Changxuan.
Xie Lingya brought the things to be used for setting up the altar, and some large items were not easy to bring, so they had already made preparations for Liuhe Mine in advance.
Liuhe Mine is about an hour and a half drive from downtown Jiyang. There are some family buildings on the periphery. If you drive slowly inward, you can see the new building that Mr. Liu and the others mentioned. It is about ten stories high, together with the fountain square in front. All are brand new.
Mr. Liu parked his car beside the square and led them into the building. Shi Changxuan said to look here first.
This office building is a slightly curved square. Shi Changxuan looked inside for a while, but didn't say anything. After reading it, he said, "Let's go to the mine and see."
He turned his head and asked Xie Lingya for the birth date of the deceased worker. Because he wanted to do a dojo, Mr. Liu had already sent the information and some basic information to Xie Lingya.
Xie Lingya took out the phone and showed it to Shi Changxuan, he remembered everything in it.
While leading the way, Mr. Liu couldn't wait to ask, "Is there any problem with the building?"
"Let's talk after reading it." Shi Changxuan didn't intend to open his mouth after reading the eight characters.
In fact, Xie Lingya was also very curious, but with outsiders present, he had to follow an unpredictable look and said, "Brother Liu, don't be impatient."
Mr. Liu embarrassed: "I'm a little worried."
Mr. Liu took the two to the coal mine, and Shi Changxuan asked to go down the mine, because Shi Changxuan said about mining and digging mountains, Mr. Liu didn't think too much about it, and asked an old worker to lead the way.
The old worker's name is Zhou Mao. He was a little impatient at first. He is resting now. After listening to Mr. Liu's whisper, his attitude improved immediately, "Master, I will take you to change your clothes."
Xie Lingya guessed that Mr. Liu told him that they were here to go over and watch Feng Shui. This identity is really useful here. Many workers do not necessarily believe in it, but they will be more in awe.
Mr. Liu's task is probably to accompany him all the way. Even though he was a little nervous, he changed into waterproof clothes, overshoes and hard hats with them, and also issued a locator.
When dressing, Zhou Mao stared at Xie Lingya sorting out the talismans, he drew some talismans in advance.
In general, the mines find a ghost exorcist to buy a charm, and each one costs hundreds or thousands. Recently, strange things have happened in the well, and he is also a little hairy in his heart.
"One for each of you." Xie Lingya didn't think too much about it. Anyway, this time, Yishui Mining wanted to pay, so what's the matter with two talismans.
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Mao and Mr. Liu couldn't wait to take the talisman from his hand, as if they were robbing him.
After robbing the two of them, they also smiled embarrassingly, Zhou Mao said, "I'm sorry, I used to be bold, but recently...you know."
Mr. Liu told Xie Lingya a little bit in general, but not very detailed. He will go down later. Xie Lingya wanted to have a mental preparation just in case, and asked: "Master Zhou, can you tell me, what strange things have happened down the mine? Have you ever met?"
The sun hadn't gone down yet, and the sun was shining, Zhou Mao was an old worker again, and he said, "I really met once, not only me, but several people in our team. I was at the bottom of the shaft that day. Looking at Shengmei, I was alone, and suddenly I heard footsteps, I went out to see, but there was nothing."
Xie Lingya: "Footsteps, what kind of footsteps?"
Zhou Mao didn't expect him to ask such a detailed question, but this master was bold: "It's just the sound of overshoes, the place where I sit is only one square meter, there is a curtain blocking it, and there is a passage outside.
"I heard clanging and echoes coming from the passage. I didn't think much about it at first. Instead, I looked outside, but there was no one there. I came back and sat down, and there were footsteps again. I looked twice. , I can't see anything, so scared that my heart almost jumped out."
Xie Lingya nodded, "Is there any more?"
Zhou Mao thought about it and said again: "One time when I wasn't there, the top of our entire work area was roaring like thunder. At that time, several workers in our team kept saying: Luo Xiaojun, we went to work together. , it's a good game, don't mess with us! It took a while for the sound to disappear!"
Luo Xiaojun is the name of the worker who was involved in the accident. When most people encounter ghosts who are suspected to be relatives, friends and acquaintances, they shout like this a few times to tell them to stop making trouble.
Xie Lingya felt vaguely strange, and looked at Shi Changxuan, and said nothing for the time being, "Let's go, go to the mine."
…
Although the outside world is in broad daylight, the underground is pitch-dark, and because it is deep into the mountainside, the air circulation is not very good, it will be a little stuffy and humid, and the area that the miner's lamp can illuminate is limited.
As soon as Xie Lingya entered the mine, he thought, in such an environment, it is indeed easy to be afraid.
Zhou Mao said: "We are down here, and we are particularly concerned about feng shui. But it is not the feng shui of your masters, but ventilation and drainage."
Xie Lingya nodded. There are toxic and harmful gases in the mine, such as dust. Ventilation is very important.
If you inhale poisonous gas, people are prone to hallucinations when they faint, so some superstition rules in this place are actually just useful experiences summed up by everyone.
Zhou Mao repeatedly emphasized that he must listen to him, not to take off the miner's lamp, helmet, not to carry fire, the underground is very dangerous, all kinds of safety matters can be said to be the key to life, and there is no chance of luck.
Everyone remembers one by one, Zhou Mao has the final say in these aspects.
Shi Changxuan kept looking around with the miner's lamp, Zhou Mao explained to him what each place was doing, and when he arrived at a winding alley, Zhou Mao took a look inside and said, "This is where explosives are stored, do you still want to go in and see? ?"
"Let's take a look." Shi Changxuan motioned to go inside.
Zhou Mao led the way and explained, "It is necessary to make a bend like this for safety."
Except for the miner's lamp, the curved roadway was dark, damp and stuffy. Occasionally, water droplets dripped on Xie Lingya's helmet, making a ticking sound.
Xie Lingya walked behind, and suddenly felt that the person in front stopped, "What's wrong?"
Zhou Mao's teeth were fighting: "Why are there lights in front and in front?"
Xie Lingya thought it was strange, and when he looked at it with a probe, it was true, there was a faint light on the wall of the curve ahead, "Is it your colleague?"
"Who, who?" Because there were so many people around, Zhou Mao gathered up the courage to take a few steps forward and asked again.
There was no answer in the empty alley.
And as soon as he walked forward, the light also moved forward, relying on the curve, as if avoiding him.
Mr. Liu suddenly said with a bit of a cry: "No... Then there is light, why there is no shadow!"
Xie Lingya froze and looked to the side. That's right, they were wearing miner's lamps. There were lights and shadows on the walls of the alley. Why wasn't there in front of them?
There was a strange silence in the alley for a while, only the sound of dripping water remained.
Tick, tick.
Zhou Mao stepped back and said, "Xiaojun, my old Zhou has always been good to you! Don't make trouble with me!"
Xie Lingya held the talisman and stopped Zhou Mao: "Don't go."
Zhou Mao, such a big man, was also very empty at this time: "You can talk to him, I will wait at the crossing."
Xie Lingya: "…"
No, no, Uncle Zhou must have never seen a horror movie. Can you be separated from the Taoist priest?
Shi Changxuan pressed Xie Lingya's wrist, "Put it away."
Xie Lingya looked at him puzzled.
Shi Changxuan shook the miner's lamp twice, and said calmly, "That's the water that our lights reflected on the ground, and there's nothing in front of it."
The three of them took a closer look, and it really is!
Xie Lingya: "..."
Zhou Mao and Mr. Liu reacted the most, and couldn't help but blushed, "I-I thought..."
Xie Lingya glanced at them very understandingly, not everyone can think calmly in this situation, he almost wanted to escape on the spot just now, "Hahaha, it's a false alarm, let's go."
Shi Changxuan suddenly said: "Go directly to the place where Luo Xiaojun's accident happened."
Both Zhou Mao and Mr. Liu froze for a moment, their heartbeats had not recovered yet, "Now, go now?"
Shi Changxuan nodded.
Mr. Liu had no choice but to say with a white face: "Well, let's go... Master Zhou."
Thanks to the old worker Zhou Mao, he took the courage to lead them. When he was about to arrive, Zhou Mao gave a trembling introduction.
The place where Luo Xiaojun died, that is, in front of him, is a coal drop point. Coal is transported from the slipper to the coal drop point, and it slopes down from a bucket mouth. One coal drop point can store hundreds of tons of coal.
Shi Changxuan glanced at Liu Zi who was carrying coal and asked, "Did he fall to his death?"
That's what Mr. Liu said before, but Zhou Mao felt a little chill when he heard it: "He fell down there. There was originally a retaining wall at the mouth of the bucket, but somehow he turned over it! All the coal behind Hit him, and when he was dug out, he was out of breath. I think it was buried to death!"
A large space that can hold hundreds of tons of coal, first fell, and then so much coal fell continuously, pressing heavily on the body, layer upon layer.
No one spoke for a while, and Mr. Liu's breathing became heavier.
It seems that everyone can't help but imagine what kind of despair it is.
After a while, Shi Changxuan's voice sounded, "Let's go forward."
pat, pat.
The sound that suddenly sounded in the empty passage made everyone excited and looked sideways.
The voice came from the front, with a long echo, who is coming this way, the galoshes stepped on the ground, heavy, pat, pat...
But this is a straight passage, and the miner's lamp is used to illuminate it, and there is nothing. Unlike the winding road just now, you can see the bottom at a glance, even the black hole, the mouth of the bucket that once swallowed people's lives, but the source of the sound cannot be seen.
Zhou Mao and Mr. Liu's expressions suddenly changed, their eyes widened, their pupils contracted, and the corners of their mouths tightened.
It's not a reflection this time, is it?
"Fuck!" The two shouted at the same time and ran out.
"Huh??" They ran so fast that Xie Lingya didn't react, "Don't run!"
Hey, what are you running, stay and watch me show off a wave of operations before leaving!
Both of them had talismans drawn by Xie Lingya on their bodies. He felt that he could stay and witness his operations. He already had a few talismans in his hands.
At this time, Shi Changxuan stopped Xie Lingya again. He held Xie Lingya's wrist and said softly, "Don't move."
Xie Lingya looked at Shi Changxuan puzzled, and saw that he raised his hand and wiped it on his eyelids, his cold fingers dipped in some liquid and slipped over. When Xie Lingya opened his eyes and looked again, there was an extra spot illuminated by the miner's lamp. "people".
Looking at it from a distance, half of "hi" body is within the mouth of the bucket, his upper body is clinging to the wall of the bucket mouth, and his feet in overshoes are pulled up and down, trying to climb up...
It was this movement that made the sound like footsteps.
Xie Lingya took a step back subconsciously, but quickly looked at the ghost, "Huh", "It's really not right."
…
After Zhou Mao and Mr. Liu ran for a distance, they also regretted it, but it was so scary for a moment that they subconsciously ran wild.
"Let's go back to the master." Mr. Liu said tremblingly.
Zhou Mao was a little scared, "Shout out first..."
"Otherwise, shall we find a few people?"
Before they could finish their discussion, they saw two beams of lights shining on Xie Lingya and Shi Changxuan.
"Teacher Xie, Daochang Shi, are you alright?" Mr. Liu said sweatingly, "We were going back to find you..."
"Luo Xiaojun, are his galoshes green?" Xie Lingya asked.
Really, Zhou Mao saw the body that day, and he immediately broke into a cold sweat, "Have you seen him?"
"It's really him, that's not right." Xie Lingya looked at Mr. Liu and said, "Shi Daochang checked the building and the feng shui here, and confirmed that there is no problem, including Luo Xiaojun's birthday. I just saw Luo Xiaojun, His soul is very weak, and his mind is still at the moment of his death, he can't be separated from this surroundings, and it is impossible to harm people's ability to get sick."
Zhou Mao was a little superstitious because of the working environment. He heard Xie Lingya accurately describe Luo Xiaojun's characteristics, and said that he saw him, and his legs were weakening, "Can we go up and talk?"
Mr. Liu looked dazed and shocked, "No, it's impossible! Then we..."
Zhou Mao was also reminded, "Yes, what's the matter with Mine Bai?"
Xie Lingya: "Master Bai?"
Mr. Liu was a little embarrassed, "Uh..."
Previously, Xie Lingya and Shi Changxuan had a bit of a tacit understanding and felt that Yishui Mining was hiding something, but at the time they thought it was an internal tangle, and they didn't care about personnel anyway.
After he came, Xie Lingya heard Zhou Mao talk about what happened in the mine, and felt that the ghost thing was wrong.
According to what they said, Luo Xiaojun's ghost could go to the office and make people seriously ill. How could he talk so well in the mines, and if he harassed people for a few words, he would stop making trouble, and no one had an accident.
After seeing Luo Xiaojun, Xie Lingya was sure that Luo Xiaojun really wasn't a ghost. He even thought that the previous incidents, like the reflected lights that Zhou Mao saw, were mostly natural phenomena. The workers made up too much of their own brains, and it was attributed to Luo Xiaojun.
After leaving the mine, Mr. Liu made a phone call and said, "You two, there is something strange about this!"
Xie Lingya: "I'm waiting for your explanation."
"..." Mr. Liu was a little embarrassed, and then started from the beginning of the vague details.
In fact, his position is that of the secretary of Liuhe Mine Bai Mine Manager. This Bai Mine Manager is an atheist and firmly does not believe in feudal superstition. After taking office at Liuhe Mine, he approved the construction of a new building with a stroke of a pen.
At that time, someone persuaded him to ask someone to take a look at Feng Shui, but he didn't care. At that time, it spread all over the mine, and everyone didn't care. But later Luo Xiaojun had an accident, and it was rumored that it was because of Feng Shui.
Mine Bai didn't believe in evil, even though he was under a lot of pressure because of this matter, he still didn't believe it.
Mine Manager Bai also went down to investigate the problem in person. In the end, he thought it was an accident. His feet were wet and slippery. Although Luo Xiaojun did not operate illegally, this kind of work was very dangerous and it was difficult to prevent all accidents.
Therefore, the white mine manager only asked everyone to strengthen safety work and strive to reduce accidents to a minimum.
The next thing is that there are some supernatural events in the mine. The white mine manager also sneered, thinking that it was a psychological effect. Everyone scare themselves, which can be explained from a scientific point of view.
Of course, at this time, the news about him destroying the feng shui of Liuhe Mine also spread throughout the mine, and everyone was talking about it, and most of them thought it was rather mysterious.
With this out, Chang Bai was also in a bad mood, but he still insisted on his three views. Until the power outage in the office building when he was working overtime one day, he was particularly diligent in lighting the candle to work. It was then that he saw Luo Xiaojun's ghost, saying that he was miserable, and asked him to invite someone to do the dojo for three days.
Bai Mianchang was sick for a while, and there is no airtight wall in the world, and the news also spread.
This time, Mine Bai couldn't believe it, but he was a little stubborn and refused to contact the ghost exorcist in the mine, but he heard a relative of his mentioning going to the puja at Baoyang Temple. He believed in his relative, so he let him People go to invite the Taoist priest who holds the Yangguan.
Although there were rumors inside Liuhe Mine, when he invited Taoist priests, Secretary Liu still concealed some details, especially the section on Mine Chief Bai.
Having said that, Xie Lingya finally understood why the Liuhe Mine, which is still very particular, would build a new building without looking for a feng shui master. And he can somewhat understand the thoughts of the white mine manager, but just like this, how can the white mine manager see Luo Xiaojun? Does the source of this incident actually lie in the head of Bai Mine?
"Can we meet Mine Bai?" Xie Lingya asked.
"Okay, okay, just now, Mine Manager Bai also said that he would like to meet the two of you." Secretary Liu said hurriedly.
…
Mine Manager Bai just came back from the hospital. At home, Secretary Liu took them to the family area. Mine Manager Bai was still talking on the phone with people about work, and he just nodded apologetically and greeted them.
After Mine Bai finished the phone call, Xie Lingya shook hands with him and greeted him.
"Mr. Xie, Dao-chang Shi," Bai Mian-chi looked a little anxious, "I heard that there is no problem with the feng shui of our building, and Luo Xiaojun has no grievances left? However, I clearly saw him in the office!"
He didn't think that the two of them wanted to deceive him on this point, it was too unnecessary, especially if he wanted to make money.
Xie Lingya didn't know it yet. He said, "Can you tell me in detail what happened that day?"
Mine Bai couldn't help feeling his heart and talking about what happened that day.
That night, the mine manager Bai worked overtime until nine o'clock when the power went out suddenly. He wanted to finish the last bit of work, so he lit a candle.
But not long after, the candle flame suddenly shrank and turned green. Manager Bai was surprised and surprised, and wanted to stand up and take a look.
At this time, after the candlelight turned green, it became bigger and bigger, like a firework, and illuminated the whole room green.
Immediately afterwards, a black shadow suddenly appeared in the corner, bowing to the candlelight. As soon as it bowed, Mine Chief Bai felt as if his heart had been pulled, and the candlelight dimmed a little. The more it worships, the more pain the white mine grows, and the dimmer the candlelight becomes.
By the time the candle flame was only as big as a bean, Mine Bai had rolled his eyes.
That ghost figure claimed to be Luo Xiaojun at this time, and asked Bai Mine Manager to find someone to fill the three-day dojo. Otherwise, next time it bowed to the end, the candle flame went out, and Bai Mine Manager died like a lamp. Not only that, but also to go to his house and continue to worship his family.
Mine Bai lost consciousness, and when he woke up, he was already in the hospital. He thought it was a real nightmare, but when he checked his body, there were obvious bruises on his chest. He was in good health before and had no heart disease at all. Forerunner, isn't this worshipped by ghosts?
Xie Lingya doesn't know much about this trick, but he knows another thing, "So you haven't seen the face of that ghost, so you can't be completely sure it's Luo Xiaojun?"
Mine Bai stayed for a while, "I was, I didn't see it, it was just a black shadow, but he said he was Luo Xiaojun..."
He was silent for a while, and then he said inexplicably, "What the hell is going on? Could it be that I was dreaming, and then someone took the opportunity to make bruises on me? But how could he know what I did? Such a dream?"
Of course, there is another possibility, that is, there are other femininities in his office, but for some reason he is pestering Manager Bai and pretending to be Luo Xiaojun.
Xie Lingya looked at Shi Changxuan and said, "Tonight, let's borrow your office key."
Bai Mianchang never went to the office after the accident, he said coldly, "Okay, you two be careful!"
Before Xie Lingya left the white mine chief's house, he gave him a spiritual ancestral amulet to wear with him. Secretary Liu entertained them to rest and eat.
While Secretary Liu was away, Xie Lingya asked Shi Changxuan, "Do you know what that is?"
"I've never seen it before." Shi Changxuan said, "But the shadow..."
Xie Lingya also nodded, if it was a black shadow, neither red nor green, it shouldn't be too fierce. At that time, after listening to the white mine manager, he thought to himself, if ghosts are not difficult to deal with, he is not sure if it is something else.
In the evening, the two took the guy into the office building, the office of Mine Bai.
There are no lights around this point, only the family area in the distance is still lit up with stars.
Xie Lingya hid the peach wood sword and the talisman, took out a large amount of paper money, brought the basin for hygiene, and lit the paper money, "Luo Xiaojun, Luo Xiaojun? Are you here?"
Xie Lingya kept shouting Luo Xiaojun's name. Of course, the real Luo Xiaojun couldn't hear it, but it was enough that they could hear the thing they were looking for.
Xie Lingya shouted for a while, but there was no response. He had an idea and changed his words.
"Luo Xiaojun, we are here to burn money for you to discuss a matter with you. The master invited by Mine Bai won't be here for a while, and the dojo will be done later. You can use the money first and use it as interest, okay? "
At this time, there was a sudden gloomy wind in the house, and the temperature dropped several degrees in an instant.
Needless to say, Shi Changxuan has been through battles for a long time, and Xie Lingya also has some experience, so he didn't make a fuss, but glanced around.
Just as Mine Bai said, a ghost appeared in the corner, faceless, black and only in the shape of a human figure, it shouted softly: "No! No! No! One day later, it will take seven days and seven nights. Dojo!"
… Out.
Xie Lingya looked at him strangely, "Luo Xiaojun?"
The black shadow grew bigger, almost occupying the entire wall, and said sadly in a strange and frightening tone: "It's me, I died so miserably..."
Shi Changxuan didn't wait for it to finish speaking, and expressionlessly threw out a talisman and stuck it on it. The shadow instantly shrank back to its original size and rolled to the ground.
Xie Lingya also copied the Three Treasures Sword from the cabinet next to him, and rushed up to look at it, and then he slammed, "Your uncle! You dare to lie to me, I can go to you! Luo Xiaojun? Say it again that you are Luo Xiaojun. ?"
Shi Changxuan: "..."
"Ah! Ahh!" The peach wood sword was drawn on the body, making its figure darker and darker, and the black air on the ghost's body disappeared, revealing a middle-aged male ghost, screaming again and again, "I don't Dare, I dare not!"
Xie Lingya was tired, sitting on the ground, holding the sword in his hand: "Say, what the hell are you doing, you have a grudge against Mine Bai?"
The middle-aged male ghost hesitated for a moment, and then said with a trembling voice: "No, no hatred."
Xie Lingya looked at him, "You're not Luo Xiaojun, you have no grudges or hatred, and you're here to scare people and let people do a three-day dojo, you..."
Xie Lingya suddenly reacted, "Okay, you shameless bastard, you lied to the priest!"
There are so many lonely souls and wild ghosts, and not all of them are worshipped. Ghosts were originally humans before they died, and naturally some strange things happened, such as deceiving sacrifices.
This kind of thing Xie Lingya just heard from his uncle, there are those who pretend to be famous ghosts and people to worship for themselves, and even worse, there are those who pretend to be ancestors of others and ask for food and clothing. When a simple person heard that the ghost said that he belonged to Li Bai and Du Fu, he did not immediately offer food in admiration.
However, this kind of ghost is generally not capable, and the power of ghosts is also divided into large and small. They can't threaten people's lives. They can only rely on frightening and deceiving, so that they can have a good meal.
And what his uncle said is also an old thing. Now people don't believe it so much, so they can't deceive, and they ignore you.
It’s like the one-legged five-link. It was never so easy to deal with when there were many believers in the past, but now there are few people who know about it. After finally being picked up and not eaten, they don’t dare to kill them directly, but they are scared. scare.
Unexpectedly, this time Xie Lingya saw with his own eyes a powerful person who knew that he would kill people, and he had a bigger pomp. Instead of offering some food, he directly let him become a dojo! Look at this ambition!
When the middle-aged male ghost heard that his identity as a liar was exposed, he immediately covered his face in shame, "Master! I have no children and no daughters, I am a lonely ghost, I have no sacrifices, and I can't beat other ghosts. I can’t even grab it, I’ve been hungry for more than ten years!”
Ghosts who have sacrifices only eat a few meals a year, and ghosts without sacrifices are even worse. They don't necessarily win other ghosts when they mix food. Like this poor bastard, he hasn't eaten for more than ten years.
Because of this, it took advantage of Liuhe Mine's panic and pretended to be Luo Xiaojun to intimidate Bai Mine Manager. Seeing that Bai Mine was convinced, he even opened his mouth and asked Bai Mine to find someone to do the dojo.
As a lonely and wild ghost with poor ability, this middle-aged male ghost has to pretend to be a scary person. With the help of people's inner fear, the more afraid people are, the more arrogant the ghost's arrogance will be.
Mine Manager Bai also had a bit of a shadow on Luo Xiaojun. As soon as he said that he was Luo Xiaojun, Mine Bai immediately believed it, and he made up a lot of brains.
"Why do I feel a bit of a loophole? I've been hungry for more than ten years? You mean, is this the first time you've done this kind of thing?" Xie Lingya asked, "So, you haven't used the trick of worshiping the lamp to harm anyone before. life?"
As soon as Xie Lingya said that, the middle-aged male ghost actually burst into tears.
"...Fuck?" Xie Lingya was startled and turned to look at Shi Changxuan, "Am I so fierce?"
The ghost made him cry.
Shi Changxuan: "..."
The middle-aged male ghost cried so much that he almost pulled over, "Master, I'm suffering! I'm not lying, this is really the first time I've hurt someone, and it's not over yet!
"I have been hungry for more than ten years. Last year, I managed to grab a bowl of rice during the Mid-Autumn Festival. At this time, an old ghost came to me and told me that if I gave him the rice, he would teach me a trick to worship the lantern. The more it hurts, the more you worship until the lights go out.
"Where do I dare to hurt people, I just wanted to learn to scare people, so I switched with him. Then I studied hard and studied for a whole year. I didn't go out to grab food during the Mid-Autumn Festival this year, so I can finally cheat. Eat!
"But, but I only found out after using it, that liar old ghost is a fucking ghost of the Qing Dynasty, that ghost can only worship the lamp to extinguish the candle, but the incandescent lamp can't be extinguished, woo woo woo-"
Xie Lingya & Shi Changxuan: "..."
The middle-aged male ghost cried more and more piercingly, "That old ghost who lacks great virtue, cheating on my food, who still lights candles to live in these days, there are fewer people than people who believe in ghosts! I am here to find them. I searched, I searched, I finally found Liuhe Mine who just died and the power went out!"
Xie Lingya & Shi Changxuan: "..."
