Chapter 9 Chapter 8 Evil Gate, It's Just the Beginning!

First Young Master Liu's brows were twisted into a Sichuan character, and the corners of his mouth were raised unnaturally, like smiling or crying.And that crackling sound came from his mouth, it was the upper and lower teeth fighting.Then, he said in a voice that was about to burst into tears: "Qiangzi, I've stumbled." "What? Hit... hit evil?" Tian Guoqiang's heart skipped a beat, as if a stone had fallen. Tian Guoqiang looked at First Young Master Liu's face, and the surprise in his heart was almost indescribable in words.Although he looked panicked just now, he was flesh and blood and normal.But now, in just a few tens of seconds, First Young Master Liu's entire face was almost thinner, only his eyelids were swollen a lot.Just like a malnourished patient.

This is not a place to talk, besides, the secrets between the four of them about last night cannot be revealed to others.Therefore, Tian Guoqiang had no choice but to greet the other two, and dragged First Young Master Liu to a millet pile to sit down. Sitting down and taking a few deep breaths, Young Master Liu's decadent complexion improved a bit, and he said impatiently, "I'm telling you, I've stumbled into something evil, what a fucking hell!" "Isn't it the moment at the Lingguan Temple last night? Don't mention it, everyone." Tian Guoqiang glanced at everyone and said.

"No, it's not that thing!" Young Master Liu waved his hands repeatedly: "Didn't we all run away at that time? We also got separated. On the way back alone, I encountered another strange thing." "Don't worry, speak slowly!" Tian Guoqiang said calmly. He felt that what happened to Young Master Liu might be inextricably related to what happened to them before. They collected a lot, and even Goudan and Xiao Mazi cried on the road. Now it is no exaggeration to describe them as grasshoppers on a rope. At that moment, First Major Liu told Tian Guoqiang and the others in detail about the kid who bought the lantern, which shocked a few people and sighed again and again.

"Master Gou, what do you mean to say, the Ming coins in the stack of banknotes you paid may be the change money that kid gave you?" I also personally realized why First Young Master Liu was so frightened just now, and if it was me, I'm afraid it would not be much better! "It's not possible, it's certain!" Young Master Liu insisted. "Damn it!" Hearing what Liu Dashao said with absolute certainty, the dog who was the most courageous of the four slipped off the grain pile and fell into a ball. "Then what should we do next? I heard from my mother that once you are haunted by a ghost, you will be in big trouble. This thing doesn't eat or drink, and doesn't know how to get tired. It just follows you day and night, but during the day The sun is too big, so I usually dare not come out, but at night..." Speaking of this, the disgraced dog's voice gradually turned into a mosquito moan.

"How about the night?" First Young Master Liu sneered. "I will let you be his substitute, and then reincarnate yourself. You will become a dead ghost, and then you will harm other people." Goudan wiped his neck with his hands, and made a beheading motion, which is very real Said. Indeed, the theory of substitutes has been widely circulated since a long time ago. In the eyes of witches and demigods, those who died unnaturally, such as drowned, burned, hanged, and hit by a car, They all belong to the category of 'in vain'. Precisely because they are dead ghosts in vain, the King of Hades in the Underworld will not accept them. Other ghosts can be sent to the six realms of reincarnation to choose to die, but they can only wander in the Yang Realm and become lonely ghosts.And if you want to die, there is only one way to choose, and that is to kill another person at the place where you died, let him be your substitute, and you can go to reincarnation!

Although there is no theoretical basis for this statement, countless cases in life have vividly proved this point.For example, if a person drowns in a river, one or two people will die in the waters where the person died in the previous year in the second year and the third year, and the same is true at the scene of a car accident.I would like to add here that ordinary ghosts are just some kind of fragile spirits, which cannot directly harm people, but they can use hallucinations to confuse and intimidate you, so that you can make mistakes in judgment and achieve your own goals, so most people It can be said that you killed yourself, but as long as you are determined and not be confused by external objects, the ghosts will have nothing to do with you.

Although Goudan's words have some truth, and what happened to Young Master Liu doesn't seem to be fabricated, but Tian Guoqiang didn't completely put the whole thing on the side of strange power and chaos, he just smiled and said with a little sneer : "God, I'm not talking about you. You have carried schoolbags for three years, and you haven't learned to arm yourself with advanced ideology and culture, but you love to play with feudal superstitions all day long, and then give me gossip to confuse the public. Next time Wenqing will be sent down. , I will be the first to report you to the organization!"

"Tian Guoqiang, let me tell you, if you kid dare to speak ill of me behind my back, I won't say anything, I will immediately hold a big sign and take the train to Beijing to find Chairman Mao to report your father! The sign reads: Down with all evil Cannibal Village Chief Tian Qingshan." Goudan countered without showing any weakness. "Fuck, report my father? My father provoked you!" Tian Guoqiang couldn't laugh or cry. "He didn't recruit me, his son recruited me!" "Then you report, what are you reporting!" Tian Guoqiang was extremely embarrassed by this bastard.

"Since it is a report, there are too many clauses. For example, the foreign watch you are wearing must have been given by the President of the United States. Your father is asked to be a traitor, cooperating with the inside and the outside, in an attempt to steal the identity of our socialist family. Fruit. And your father's hair, combed like his mother's, is no different from the head of the Kuomintang reactionaries. Isn't this the restoration of capitalism? Don't stare at me, and your father is hanging The head of the village with a hairy head, the official with a big sesame seed, insists on doing paperwork, and the paperwork is just a paperwork, and he insists on finding a woman!" Goudan opened his mouth like an American devil's howitzer, and he couldn't shoot it. tidy.

"The female clerk is not quick and careful..." Tian Guoqiang explained. "Fart! Then why don't you find the old lady Hu at the entrance of the village as a secretary, and you have to pick a twenty-year-old girl. Don't think that I don't know what your father wants to do. I have seen it several times. I just stare at other people's breasts. Look at your ass, pretending to be self-serving, messing around! Old cows eat tender grass!" "Puchi..." First Young Master Liu and Xiao Mazi who were listening were amused by him, and they all looked at Tian Guoqiang winkingly and laughed endlessly.And Tian Guoqiang's face was blue and purple, and his fists were clenched tightly, obviously very angry.

First Young Master Liu knew that if they were left alone and the two of them were bickering here, they would probably start a fight, so he and Xiao Mazi hurriedly stopped the two of them, and talked nicely for a long time before suppressing it. It made the two of them angry. "Young dog, it's not that I don't care about this matter." After a long break, Tian Guoqiang opened his mouth to Liu Dashao: "The village has large forests and many hollows, and there are everything on weekdays, so when you encounter this or that It’s inevitable, let’s do it this way! Let’s go to Grandma Guanhua and ask her to tell us a fortune teller, shall we have a good or bad fortune?” Regarding the theory of ghosts and gods, one cannot fully believe in it, but it is even more important to believe in it.After all, if everything in the world exists, there must be a reason for its existence.And the "Grandma Guanhua" mentioned by Tian Guoqiang is another name for a kind of witch in the folks. In layman's terms, she is the great dancing god, Mr. Yin and Yang.It's just that he is male and she is female. Grandma Guanhua's surname is Fan. Because she is quite old and her hair is gray, out of respect, people in the neighborhood all call her Fan Xiangu. What, no one can say clearly. It is said that Grandma Guanhua was just an ordinary peasant woman before she officially became a psychic. One time when I came back from farm work, I was seriously ill. I often felt that my soul was about to float out of my body. When I was sleeping, I always saw a strangely dressed person drawing a spell and saying that I would take her as an apprentice. I looked for a doctor in the health center for a long time, but there was no improvement.Later, her family took her to find a great fairy in the town, and the expert said, you are a psychic, you just need to do what the master in your dream said, and you have to put an incense burner at home , burn incense in the morning and evening, and after you open your eyes, your body will be fine. Later, after Granny Guanhua recovered from her illness, she really became a psychic and took over the class of the great immortal. As for why Tian Guoqiang knew that there was this Granny Guanhua, there is still a long history. A few years ago, Grandma Guanhua came to his house as a guest. It happened that the neighbor's aunt was also holding her little grandson and chatting at Tiancun Chang's house. The two-year-old boy looked very childish. After a while, the neighbor aunt left.Grandma Guanhua shook her head, and said to Tian Guoqiang's mother flatly: "The neighbor's child is difficult to raise, and even if it grows up, it will cost a lot of money." Tian Guoqiang happened to be there at the time, and when he heard their conversation, his first reaction was that this ugly woman was playing tricks, she must have had a feud with the neighbor aunt, and took the opportunity to week their family. But unexpectedly, not long after, something happened to the child!He suffered from long-term fever, anorexia, pale complexion, and gradually developed abdominal distension. Finally, he found out that the child had a strange disease at the town hospital, and it disappeared the next day.Since then, Tian Guoqiang has subconsciously recognized the existence of this feudalist, um, this old woman is ugly, but she still knows a little bit about it. Another time, in Xiushan Village over there, a baby died of illness and was buried in a mass grave. His mother later gave birth to two babies, but they couldn't raise them enough, and died within a few months.In desperation, eager to seek a child, she had no choice but to go to Grandma Guanhua, hoping she could give her a solution.After asking her address, Grandma Guanhua burned a stick of incense and came over to take a look in a daze. She said that the body of your former child was not rotten, so he couldn't be reincarnated, so she came to pester you, dig him out, Just burn it with fire.After the woman came back dubiously, she asked someone to dig out the child from the mass grave, and it turned out that she was not dead, but a mummy! After burning the baby's body with fire, she raised another boy. Fortunately, he didn't die this time, and he was healthy and safe. For this reason, the mother gave three baskets of eggs to Grandma Guanhua as a token of respect. grateful.But there is one thing that is very strange, because people in the village say, and they don't know why, this boy looks exactly the same as the child who died before... Faced with Tian Guoqiang's gold medal for Grandma Guanhua, Young Master Liu directly opposed it, shaking his head like a rattle: "No, no, absolutely not to go to that old lady!" His tone was very firm. "Why? Granny Guanhua is very clever." Tian Guoqiang didn't understand why Young Master Liu reacted so strongly when he heard Granny Guanhua's name. "Anyway, it's impossible!" Young Master Liu pouted and said, "If we beg her, go out on the front foot, and inform our parents on the back foot. I'll have to suffer! Besides, even if she doesn't tell the truth, she will definitely not give me a good face, maybe she will even sneer and tease me on purpose!" "What's wrong? Do you have Liang Zi?" Tian Guoqiang immediately dragged out several black lines from the back of his head. "You don't remember, last year it was me and Xiao Mazi who couldn't get used to her high-spirited appearance, took advantage of the autumn harvest and entered their vegetable field in the dark, and blasted the whole acre of pumpkins with earthen explosives!" Liu Da Shao said. "Yes, yes, there is such a thing, I ran slowly, and the old woman kicked her buttocks, my mother is not dead, she is seventy-eight years old, and her legs and feet are still strong!" Xiao Mazi added, fearing that the world would not be chaotic. . "You guys! Jing Ai is causing trouble for me!" Tian Guoqiang was left speechless. In this way, the road of Guanhua Granny will not work.I had no choice but to put my hands on my chin again, fall into a state of thinking, and ponder over countermeasures. Unfortunately, he is neither Zhuge Liang nor Sima Yi, so after much deliberation, he has nothing to gain except feeling his head swell. "Brother Tian, ​​why don't we just leave it alone and wait for a couple of days to see if everyone is safe and well, it's over. Be careful in the future and don't go into that monster temple." At this moment, the sun was already shy Hiding half of his face in the clouds, the temperature on the ground obviously dropped several degrees. The environment that was still comfortable just now turned a little cold.So, Xiao Mazi, who couldn't stand the cold, cried out. "It sounds good, wait for two days first, what if something happens in these two days? Offended those Bodhisattva masters, if not, the four of us will have to burp tonight!" Goudan put his hands into his sleeves , said angrily. "Where did you come from! You have a crow's mouth!" Tian Guoqiang glared at him, and seeing Goudan's ball face, the fire that had been suppressed just now flared up again: "Even if you want to harm someone, first, Mr. Swallowed you alive!" "Cut." Goudan is not as timid as in the temple, peeing his pants in fright, but carefree, as if he has something to rely on: "Anyway, our house enshrines the Tathagata Buddha, three incense sticks in the morning and evening, Stay at home, I will be blessed by the Buddha at night, so I am not afraid!" After finishing speaking, Goudan stood up, patted the millet on the leg of his trousers, and ran to the house without saying hello to the three of them. . "Goudan's grandma seems to be a Buddhist." Looking at Goudan's back, Xiao Mazi murmured. "Grass, belief in Buddhism is great, feudal superstition. When Wen Qing comes down to investigate people's sentiments, the first thing I will do is to ask my father, who is the village chief, to smash all the Buddha statues in your house to pieces, and tell your mother-in-law and grandson to hug and cry!" Tian Guoqiang He spat heavily on the ground and cursed. "Wait..." First Young Master Liu's eyes lit up, as if he was grasping at a life-saving straw: "Brother Tian, ​​do you think we should also invite a god to make offerings, so that those demons and ghosts will not dare to mess around with their screams?" .” "Don't say it, it seems to be the right way!" Tian Guoqiang slapped his head: "Why didn't I think of this good way in the first place!" "However, where to invite a god? Besides, what is the easiest way to invite?" Tian Guoqiang was in a dilemma. "It's easy to handle!" Young Master Liu had a countermeasure, and his mood naturally improved by more than a little or two, and his gloomy face that had been suppressed by the two strange things was also in full bloom: "I often heard that storytellers say that Guan Yunchangguan The master is the most powerful, loyal and unparalleled, the red rabbit horse, the Qinglong Yanyue knife, these things are left at home, and there are shameless brats who come to smash the scene, click, click, click, and the head of the master Guan's gods will be chopped off. " "It makes sense!" Tian Guoqiang nodded again and again: "We have also seen that Guan Yu is a man, pure." "As for where to go..." First Young Master Liu frowned: "If it doesn't work, let's go to the town to buy it!" "In the town? That's too far away!" Tian Guoqiang smiled wryly. Indeed, starting from Xiushui Village, you have to climb two valleys and walk for several hours on the main road to reach the town. "Why, do you still expect to be able to buy statues in the dilapidated shop where that rat with big head Chen cried?" "It's still early, so it shouldn't be a problem to go back and forth. As for the money, let's share it among the three of us! It's enough to buy a small statue." First Young Master Liu searched up and down and found out that he was hiding all over his body The private money, ordered a little, said. "You look at that little pockmark?" Tian Guoqiang was a little moved. After all, at this juncture, having a psychological guarantee is better than anything else. "I'll listen to you." Xiao Mazi smiled. "That's good, that's it!" The three clapped their hands, and immediately left the village and took a small path into the mountain. Nothing happened along the way, except that the crows in the woods called "quack quack quack" which made the teenagers a little scared.Fortunately, on the main road, they ran into old man Hu who was about to transport corn to the city for sale. Old man Hu was driving a tractor. Although the sound was loud, like a thunderclap, it made people's eardrums hurt, but at that time, it was a real baby bump.So Young Master Liu proposed to take a ride, but old man Hu was not too happy, saying that there were too many people and it would cost him gas money.The last few people talked about it, and Tian Guoqiang brought his village chief father to the stage again, so old man Hu reluctantly agreed. Black industrial smoke rose slightly, carrying a group of people towards the town. It is said that it is a town, but it is actually much worse than the well-off countryside we are now.Looking around, there are only a few small buildings with three or four floors standing there.The roads extend in all directions, paved with asphalt, on the fences and on the poles, there are all kinds of red banners.All kinds of gadgets are sold in the alleys, which are very lively. Because time waited for no one, Liu Dashao and the three just bid farewell to old man Hu in a hurry, and agreed on a meeting place when they returned.Without further ado, I went directly to the second floor of the department store and bought a cheap and majestic statue of Master Guan, preparing to use it at home to ward off evil spirits. The statue looks heavy, but it is actually hollow. Otherwise, how could it be so cheap?Right!A few people packed it in plastic bags, and then let Tian Guoqiang, who was relatively stable among them, take care of it, while Xiao Mazi and Liu Dashao escorted it in the crowd.Although the corridor is still dark, the light at this time is enough to see everything clearly. Weird things happened in the lobby in broad daylight! First Young Master Liu stepped aside at the bend of the stairs, and let Tian Guoqiang, who was holding Master Guan, go down first. He took a breath and was about to follow, but suddenly felt that his back was pushed hard, and his body couldn't help but Bounce forward. Fortunately, he stretched out his hands reflexively and grabbed Tian Guoqiang's arm, so he didn't lie down on the ground.However, Tian Guoqiang was hit hard, his hands loosened, and the statue of Guan Gong fell to the ground and fell into pieces. Tian Guoqiang looked at Young Master Liu in surprise, and was about to ask him if he stepped on the empty steps, but Young Master Liu shouted in panic, "Yes...someone pushed me!" And Xiao Mazi, who was leaning on the side in a panic, waved his hands again and again, disregarding the relationship: "It's not me, it's not me." As soon as he said this, without saying too much, the three of them understood: something was entangled with them! First Young Master Liu immediately ran up the corridor, and sure enough, there was no one within ten meters of sight. Even if there were a few guys, they were all staring at the things in the glass cabinet on the counter, without any motive or condition for committing the crime.This shows that no one is playing a prank. It's only afternoon, can't those things wait?We just lived in their temple, played a game of poker, and ate a fruit offering. What kind of hatred is there that insists on putting us to death? Young Master Liu's face was ashen, and his heart was in a mess. It seems that tonight, life and death are extremely unpredictable!At least, it's definitely not Christmas Eve! Young Master Liu's face was ashen, and his heart was in a mess. It seems that tonight, life and death are extremely unpredictable!At least, it's definitely not Christmas Eve! However, Master Guan's statue fell to pieces, which also made Liu Dashao understand why these things pushed him so hard just now that he smashed Master Guan in Tian Guoqiang's arms. Direct contact, so cleverly used this method to destroy the statue! After thinking about it, Young Master Liu had a bottom line: Aren't you afraid of Master Guan?Let me bleed some blood, and bring another one back, I want to see if you dare to be fierce in front of Master Guan! "Let's go! Tian Guoqiang, let's go back and buy another one. I think it's really a ghost. If you don't invite Mr. Guan, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep at night! You can sleep at my house tonight, or I will sleep at yours. Take Master Guan!" He purposely looked very relaxed, letting Tian Guoqiang know that he was not very scared. The sales girl in the store was confused, these three boys just bought a statue of Guan Gong ten minutes ago, why did they come back all of a sudden?The two ignored the girl's surprise, just paid the money, moved and left. Both of them were thinking about how to invite Master Guan to go home properly this time. The store was full of people, Tian Guoqiang hugged this thing carefully, for fear of being bumped into accidentally. People who are afraid of ghosts just encountered ghosts. As soon as they walked out of the store, an old man wearing sunglasses came to meet him. He flicked around with a guide stick in his hand. First Young Master Liu hurriedly pulled Tian Guoqiang, fearing that he would be hit by the bamboo pole in the blind man's hand, but the blind man seemed to be possessed by an evil spirit, so he turned a corner and walked towards Tian Guoqiang. Just when the two were thinking about how to avoid him, the blind man's feet suddenly slipped, and he slammed into Tian Guoqiang head-on, and swung the crutch in his hand. There were people on the left and right, Tian Guoqiang had nowhere to hide, so he could only dodge instinctively sideways.The bamboo cane hit Master Guan's head sharply, breaking the statue into several pieces. Tian Guoqiang became anxious on the spot: "You blind man, you walk without eyes! There are so many people in the world, why the hell are you here to bump into me?" Many people gathered around, seeing a blind man fell on the ground, some people went to help him, and some heard Tian Guoqiang scolding, and accused him one after another: "You young man, why do you talk like that? People can't see, so you can't see it." You can't insult him like that?!" After the blind man was helped up, he knew that he had caused trouble for others, so he quickly bowed to Tian Guoqiang.Unexpectedly, after this, everyone couldn't stand it anymore, and began to criticize Tian Guoqiang. First Young Master Liu and Xiao Mazi looked at each other when they saw that the momentum was not right, and hurriedly pulled Tian Guoqiang out of the crowd to rest for a while. Although it was a blind man who accidentally broke the statue of Guan Gong, Young Master Liu believed that it was a sign of being targeted by ghosts.Otherwise, how could the idol be broken twice in one day?It must be that the ghosts who followed them were extremely afraid that the statue of Guan Gong would be invited home, which would affect her revenge. Tian Guoqiang said with a distressed face: "What to do with the dog, why is it so difficult to ask Master Guan to go home!" First Young Master Liu was also a little dumbfounded, but he was born with a stubborn temper, okay!The more you don't let me invite you, the more I have to invite you back! Well, the show is on.In ancient times, Liu Bei visited the thatched cottage three times, and now we, Young Master Liu, invite Guan Erye three times!At that moment, Young Master Liu even forced the blackmailer to get all Xiao Mazi's pocket money, and dragged the stunned Tian Guoqiang to the counter of the department store for the third time. "You...why are you here again!" The girl at the counter who was holding the big tea mug was almost choked to death by the boiling water, and she even wondered if these young men who had just started falling in love with her used the excuse to be with her close?However, when she heard First Young Master Liu's next words, she just spit out the saliva she just drank. "Give me another Guan Yunchang!" "More?" The girl wondered if she had run into a ghost today, or if she was still in a dream, but it should be Young Master Liu and his gang. "Yes! This time, please be more careful about your troubles." First Young Master Liu pushed a few crumpled banknotes onto the counter. "But..." Seeing Young Master Liu's rather handsome face, the girl blushed a little. "What's the matter, it's not that I won't give you money!" Young Master Liu said. "That's not what it means, but... it's sold out." The girl spread her hands helplessly. "It's sold out, how could it be sold out?" First Young Master Liu and Tian Guoqiang were both dumbfounded. "It's not something that's in short supply. It's just in stock. The only two left, I bought them for the three of you." The girl explained. "That's it!" Young Master Liu was immediately disappointed, but then he grabbed the girl's hand as if he wanted to confess, and she almost cried out in fright: "Then you know, where can I buy it? " "It is estimated that only our department store has it. If you want it, come and see it next week. Maybe it will come." "Next week, it's too late." First Young Master Liu let go of his trembling hands, his eyes were gloomy and indescribably desolate. "What's late?" The girl couldn't bear to see his expression: "Little comrade, may I ask, is this thing important to you?" "Of course, we're going to take it..." Xiao Mazi had just interrupted halfway, when he was interrupted by Young Master Liu's heavy cough, and then gave the tongue-chewing guy a hard look, before letting him go Xiao Mazi retreated angrily, never daring to show himself in front of beautiful women again. "It's nothing." Young Master Liu shook his head. The girl at the counter was very smart, knowing that First Young Master Liu must have something to hide, so she didn't ask any more questions, and just smiled kindly. "By the way, do you have any other statues of Bodhisattvas in this department store, such as heavenly soldiers and generals? In a word, the more effective the better!" "Then I'll go to the warehouse and ask!" The girl was quite talkative, she turned around and went to the warehouse inside, but she came out soon, shrugged helplessly, and drove the hopeful people into the bottom of the valley: "Sorry , all sold out." I don't know how to say goodbye to this kind girl, and the three of them don't have the energy to think about it.In short, Young Master Liu only felt that he was dragging his stomach full of disappointment, as well as the skin of the walking dead, hitch a ride with old man Hu, and returned home in a daze. It was already evening when we returned to the village.Stepping on the weeds on the side of the road that have not been taken care of for a long time, looking at the sunset in the sky, Young Master Liu, who usually has no ink in his stomach, suddenly remembered the phrase "The sunset is infinitely good, but it is only near dusk." All kinds of encounters in the Lingguan Temple began to emerge, as well as the child carrying the lantern, and the lingering - phantom! Suddenly the sound of "Pa-ta, pa-ta" came, and Young Master Liu turned his head abruptly, startled.Not long after, I felt a coolness on my cheeks, and I wiped it with my hand, but it turned out to be a white, green and green sticky substance, which reached the tip of my nose, and gave off a foul smell.Having lived in the village since he was a child, he naturally knew what it was, damn it, bird shit! Looking up, a very large crow perched on the edge of the wall.The big one is a bit strange, it looks at least two or three times the size of an ordinary crow, and its wings are black and bright, as if it has been coated with wax.At this moment, it was blinking its bloodshot eyes, and was uttering a miserable cry like a dead father to the surprised Young Master Liu. , people can't dodge, can't avoid.
