Although I was very reluctant to call me a magician from my classmates, there is no wall that is impermeable to the wind. It didn't take long for my peaceful school life to spread about what I did in front of our dormitory building.
Later, I also investigated, and the first person to say this was one of our school guards.
After the news spread, classmates would come to me to ask different questions every day, such as those who came to ask about the future, those who came to ask about marriage, and those who came to me for palmistry, facial features, and those who asked me to test my characters, in short, they were Treat me like a fortune teller completely.
Although this divination technique is also a Taoist skill, I don’t know anything about it. Although my adoptive father, Master Liu knows some divination techniques, he said that it is his worst skill, so I don’t need to use it. Come and teach me, so as not to mislead the children.
Of course, in addition to asking me for fortune-telling, I was also curious to inquire about the reason for the practice. Asking whether to arrest the old lady ghost, I had to tell those people that I was managing the practice for the Xuanhailin dormitory, and I was just doing it casually. , doesn't really matter at all.
I said this and sent a group of people away, but there are still some people who are still entangled, such as Xiong Ying and Gao Xinying.
Because I gave Gao Xinying a peace talisman, he insisted that I knew Taoism and was very good, so he kept yelling at me all day to teach him some skills and let him go to subdue demons and exorcise demons.
As for Xiong Ying, because she heard You Xiaoqing tell me about my past, she also insisted that I knew Taoism, but instead of pestering me to learn Taoism, she pestered me every day, asking me to tell her ghost stories , and then there are a lot of messy questions asked me, such as whether a Taoist priest can find a girlfriend, get married, have children, and will he still be a Taoist priest after giving birth to a child...
Anyway, I've been distracted by those things for a while.
It's winter now, and it's time for the New Year's winter vacation in a month, and I'm almost half a year old in high school.
This day coincided with a weekend, so I went to the yard that Wei Wei rented to draw talismans by myself. Wei Wei was not here at this time, but went to give Nangong Zhentian the last batch of talismans that I had drawn. I have to say this In the past six months, I have improved a lot in my ability to draw talismans. Out of ten talismans, I can now draw five blue talismans. Even I am amazed at such a speed of improvement.
Because this is still under the premise that I haven't used the magic spell to draw talismans. If I can ask the gods, I might be able to draw purple talismans.
When I arrived at the gate of the yard, I saw a woman standing on the steps of the doorman. She was about thirty years old, wearing a leather coat and shoes, carrying a leather bag in her hand, and her long hair was still curled up. The most important thing was She still has a strong "scent" smell on her body, but this kind of fragrance makes me uncomfortable.
Seeing me approaching, this woman immediately came over and asked me, "Young man, are you from this family?"
I was stunned for a moment, looked around, there was no one around me, and after confirming that she was talking to me, I nodded and said, "No, this is the house my friend rented, but he is not at home now, you want to If you are looking for the owner of this rent, I have to wait for my friend to come back and ask him, I don't have the contact information for the owner of the house."
After I finished speaking, I tried to bypass her to open the door of the courtyard, but the woman followed up and continued: "Then may I ask, do you know the two masters Wei Wei and Shi Yong?"
After I heard the words "Master" added to the names of Wei Wei and I, I couldn't help but wonder, when did I become a Master? And this woman calls us masters, which means she knows we know Taoism, but how does she know
So I asked her with a little bit of vigilance: "Did you have anything to do with them?"
The woman said, "My surname is Tang, my name is Tang Sumei, and I am a native of Long'an. Not long ago, something happened to my family, so I wanted to ask someone to ask Master to take a look. I have some connections in the city, so someone gave it to me. My address said that there are two masters living here in Longan, so let me come over and ask."
Hearing this, I felt that things were a little strange. If this woman named Tang Sumei came to Wei Wei, it would not be strange, but adding me makes me a little bit incomprehensible. I am not one of their organization, nor have I Register with their organization, even if there are people in the city who know their organization and give Tang Sumei information, why is there my name
Seeing that I was silent for a long time, Tang Sumei asked me again, "Do you know them?"
I said, "I'm Shi Yong, Wei Wei is my friend, he's not here right now, he won't be here until a few days."
After hearing what I said, this Tang Sumei was stunned and looked at me incredulously. She should only know my name, not my age.
I think in her impression, as a "master", even if I'm not an old man, at least I should be older than her.
Looking at her expression, I said, "Disappointed, I'm not a master, I'm afraid something happened to your family, I can't help you, but my friend does have some skills, you can put Tell me about your affairs first, and I will tell him when he comes back, and you can also leave your contact information."
Saying that, I took out the key and opened the gate of this courtyard.
I pushed open the door and invited Tang Sumei to come in, walked across the yard and into the main room, I poured her a cup of hot water and said, "There's nothing to entertain you here, drink a cup of hot water, I've been standing outside for a long time. ,cold."
This room is where I usually draw talismans. The scent of incense and candles is very strong. In addition, there is a portrait of the Taoist Sanqing enshrined on the wall facing the door of the room, so when the bomb comes in, it gives people a feeling of entering a Taoist temple.
Tang Sumei may have been affected by this atmosphere, she did not immediately freeze my water, but picked up two incense sticks from the table, lit them with the lighter she carried, and bowed to the portraits of Taoist Sanqing, and then put them on. After the incense was inserted, she caught the water I handed her and said, "Master Shi, I believe what my friend said. He said that you have great skills, so I should believe it. You shouldn't judge people by their appearance. Please forgive me."
Eh, Tang Sumei was suddenly so polite, which made me a little unaccustomed to it. Why did she think I was a master all of a sudden, was she frightened by the atmosphere here
I didn't talk to her directly, so I asked her to sit down at a table on the side of the room. This is where I usually draw talismans. On the table were inkstones, cinnabar, talismans and some leftover talisman paper.
I tidy up the table and said, "If you have something to do, you'd better tell me quickly, because I have something to do in a while."
Listening to what I said, Tang Sumei also put the cup in her hand on the table, but maybe because the room was cold, her hand never left the cup, she thought for a moment and then said, "It's like this, me and I Husbands say that they are from Long'an. Over the years, we have been doing business with the man and made some money, so we went back to Long'an to build a three-story villa, and also moved the graves of my mother-in-law and father-in-law to a Fengshui location. place and rebuilt it.”
"But after our little villa was renovated, we couldn't live in it."
When I asked her what was going on, she said, "Because my father-in-law and mother-in-law moved in first..."
Hearing this, I couldn't help being stunned, and asked her: "Aren't your father-in-law and mother-in-law dead? Could it be that they are haunted?"
Tang Sumei quickly nodded and said, "Well, that's it, I didn't believe it at first, but since my husband and I moved in, one strange thing happened, and we both had to believe it, and finally we had to move out again. "
I asked Tang Sumei what the strange thing was, she showed some expressions of resistance and fear, and then took a sip of hot water before slowly saying: "My husband and I just moved in on the first day, because we moved to a new house, so we came here. Many friends came to congratulate, and they all drank some wine at my house that night, and they left later."
"After waiting for everyone to leave, it was almost twelve o'clock in the evening. My husband and I simply washed up and prepared to go to bed. Our villa is on the third floor, and our room is on the second floor, and our room has a separate room. There is a bathroom, so we don’t have to go downstairs to wash up.”
"When we lay down, it didn't take long for us to hear a very subtle flushing sound in the bathroom of our bedroom. At first I thought it was because of the toilet. When I got to the toilet, I found that there was nothing wrong with the toilet, and the faucet on the sink didn't leak."
"I thought at the time that I might be too tired, and I heard it wrong, so I was about to turn around and go back to sleep, but as soon as I turned around, the subtle flushing sound came out again, and when I listened carefully, I found that the flushing sound was from It came from the toilet downstairs, and the toilets on the upper and lower floors of our villa are in the same location, so the drainage system is easier to design, so the sound of flushing downstairs will also be transmitted upstairs along the drainage pipe."
"At that time, the relatives and friends who came to celebrate our housewarming had already left, so why would there be the sound of flushing water downstairs, so I felt very strange, but I didn't think about the 'ghost', I just I wonder if a certain relative or friend drank too much and vomited in the toilet downstairs, and we didn't go to the toilet to check when we left, so they ignored it."
"So I called my husband and asked him to go downstairs to take a look. After all, it was too late. If I went alone, I would still be a little scared, but my husband drank too much with the guests. I can't get up, so I can only turn on the light and go downstairs to see by myself."
"When I got downstairs, I could hear the sound of water flushing in the toilet more clearly, so I called out 'who', but there was no response, and the sound of water flushing disappeared. When I opened the toilet door, there was nothing inside, it was empty."
"Except for the smell of alcohol, but this is normal, because the guests who drank too much that night all vomited in that dormitory, and one vomited on the floor after drinking too much. It took me a long time to clean up."
Tang Sumei's story is very detailed, even a little too detailed, so I urged her to say, "Then what happened later, did you see your father-in-law or mother-in-law in the toilet?"
