"Auntie can’t see us," I said, and I winked at Lu Keqin and asked her to pull Hongyun to go outside.
We need toilets, and men and women, old men and women, naturally, can’t follow us out. When we got out of the threshold, the old man also put the curtain in the room, and they rang again, talking to Liu Dachuan and others.
I took Lu Keqin and walked forward, then turned to look at the door against the wall with lanterns in my hand. When I saw that it was an ordinary paper man who was blown by the wind and left and right, my doubts were not increased by one point.
Go to the courtyard, Lu Keqin asked, "Zheng Shuang, did you call us out to find out what was wrong?"
I turned my face and looked around to make sure that nothing in the courtyard could hear us. I told them what I saw at the dinner table in a low voice, and then said, "I have some doubts about what we saw, which made us confused, but I’m not sure whether they are really monsters or know something. I want to ask Hongyun if she found anything."
"Oh," Lu Keqin turned to see Hongyun, and I went to see Hongyun.
Hongyun said, "To tell the truth, when I lived outside, human beings were different from your present human beings in many places, but I didn’t feel that there was a strange smell here. To take a step back, even if there was a strange person who was so advanced that I couldn’t notice its smell, it could conjure up the village and these houses could not conjure up those fierce big dogs."
I believe Hongyun feels right, but she is still a little uneasy and asks, "Are you sure which dogs are real and not fake?"
Hongyun gave me a white look. "How can I not recognize a true and false dog?"
I am embarrassed to smile. "Then I am relieved."
Having said that, we have reached the outside of the toilet. Although we are not in a hurry, we have to queue up for convenience.
Back to the house, Liu Dachuan sat down at the dinner table, but they didn’t move chopsticks. The three of us washed our hands and came to the dinner table. I saw the old man and the old lady sitting by the kang and said kind words to let them eat together. They all said they had eaten.
After we sat down, the old lady got up and took the bowl in front of us. She was busy scooping rice for us from the casserole on the fire. Lu Keqin and Lin Xianer got up and went to serve the bowl.
I glanced at the sweet potato porridge cooked in the pot and said to the old man sitting on the kang smoking Liu Dachuan’s filter cigarette, "Uncle, did you know we were coming? This sweet potato porridge is well cooked."
"Last night, the Bodhisattva gave me a dream. I waited for a day with trepidation, and I still couldn’t believe it was true …"
Chapter one hundred and ninety-two Ghost makes a difference
We were led to this village by the Buddha’s light. The old man knew that we were coming. The bodhisattva gave him a dream. Two things can confuse me: they are monsters in my heart, and this village is their illusion. We have given up our doubts, but we have doubts about what the bodhisattva should care about us mortals. We are about to ask the old man what the bodhisattva gave him a dream and asked him to pick us up. I asked Lu Dachuan before, "Which bodhisattva gave you a dream?"
The old man replied, "Earth Treasure King and Bodhisattva"
Lu Dachuan said, "Isn’t Wutai Mountain in the west the Manjusri Bodhisattva Dojo? How can it be the Earth Treasure Bodhisattva?"
The old man seems to think that Lu Dachuan asked this question with a special smirk and said, "Which bodhisattva holds a dream and where is the bodhisattva Dojo?"
Lu Keqin interjected, "What’s the difference?"
"These dolls have puzzled my old man," the old man said with a wry smile. "I’m in my teens this year, and I’ve been doing ghost work for 70 years. It’s the first time I met a bodhisattva to give me a dream. I just can’t believe it’s true."
Hearing the old man tell me his identity aroused my curiosity and I couldn’t help asking, "Uncle, you are a ghost."
The old man said, "Not only am I a ghost, but all of us in Mingmen Village are ghosts."
"How can the living do ghost work?" The old man’s words made my brain turn around.
The old man took a look at the old lady by the fire and said, "It’s the first time that someone has asked us this question after so many years. You said that we are living. Why are we born to do ghost work?"
The old lady gouged out the old man and said, "This old man is crazy. How can you talk nonsense?"
The old man shook his head and turned his face and said to us, "Do you know that it is cloudy?"
"Oh," I’m a little confused. "I’ve heard some things, but I seem to hear that people who are born without crying can cross the Yin, so there are very few people. There may not be one in several counties. How can everyone in the village cross the Yin?"
The old man said, "You can see that our houses here are repaired like ordinary villages. We are also ordinary people dressed up. We are a magic sect."
"What sect?"
"Ghost Road"
"Ghost Road" I repeated the old man’s words and thought carefully. It seemed that I had never heard of this sect, so I asked, "Uncle, you are all Taoist priests. Why haven’t I heard of this sect before?"
The old man said, "It can also be said that we are Taoist priests, but we can be regarded as heretics and don’t belong to Sanqingmen. Outsiders don’t know that we are a ghost. First, because our spells can’t get the title of immortal, the title is small; Second, because we are mainly engaged in shady affairs, we rarely walk the rivers and lakes, but then again, although the world doesn’t know the name of the ghost road, it is no stranger to the ghost road, because those who can be yin outside also belong to our ghost road people. "
I know something about this village after the old man said, but they are all ghosts. We can’t hide what the king and bodhisattva have brought us here. I was just about to ask the old lady, "Stop talking, old man, and let the baby eat first. This meal is getting cold."
Although the old man and the old lady are ghosts, they are first of all people, but their identity is certain, so they don’t worry about what they give us for dinner. Earthworms and centipedes turn into chopsticks to eat. Counting it, there are more than ten hours without dripping water. Everyone is so hungry that they stick to their backs and eat a little food. Soon all the table dishes, steamed buns and a pot of porridge are wiped out by us.
If we put it outside, unless we go to the landlord’s house or pay for it ourselves, this way of eating will definitely hurt the host’s heart and lungs, but the old man and the old lady are particularly worried when they see that we are not polite to them and eat the food cleanly. The old lady also thinks that she has prepared less food for us and is busy taking dry food such as steamed bread and sweet potatoes to warm us up and let us eat.
After dinner, we watched it for a while. It was already more than two o’clock at night. The old man and the old lady didn’t arrange for us to sleep, and they didn’t mean to sleep themselves. We still have many questions to ask in our hearts. Naturally, we won’t say that it’s getting late and we’ll talk about it later, so we sat around and continued the topic just now.
Everyone has already said the words, so I won’t beat around the bush and ask directly, "Uncle, you are doing things in the dark, and we won’t let Yin Bodhisattva ask you to pick us up."
The old man looked at me and said, "We are in big trouble now. The Bodhisattva asked you to help us out."
I wondered, "I’m neither a Taoist nor a monk. How can a bodhisattva let us help you if I don’t understand Yin and Yang and can’t spell?"
Lu Dachuan also said, "Yes, we are not people today. We are here to do one thing and leave. If you are in trouble, Bodhisattva should find someone to help. How can we find our head?"
The old man looked at several of us. "It seems that you dolls really don’t know anything. You have made a big disaster and you don’t know that thanks to the mercy of the Bodhisattva, you will have a chance to make amends, or your life will be ruined."
Hearing this, I was shocked and immediately thought that we must have killed those ri ghosts because the kids deserved to die, but we shouldn’t kill them.
Although Liu Dachuan and Liu Changzu were bent on playing tricks, they were not stupid enough to listen to the old man’s words, and their faces were whitened and their heads were covered with sweat.
Lu Dachuan wiped a handful of sweat and asked, "Is it so serious that we killed people like animals and didn’t kill good people?"
The old man said, "Although the Bodhisattva didn’t tell me too much about your origin in my dreams, I also lost seven points in my heart. After you came to this era, you have already violated the heaven. After you came, you still acted against the sky and grasped the life and death of others. Of course, ri ghosts are not serious. The evil of burning, killing and looting in our country is not fatal, but the causal cycle of good and evil is rewarded. When one of them dies, it is natural that someone will kill them, but it should not be you."
Lu Dachuan said, "We were mistaken, but I still don’t understand that although you are heretics, you are also in big trouble with Taoism. You should ask the Taoist for help. To take a step back, even if you don’t ask Taoism for help, the Tibetan King and Bodhisattva are Buddhists. How can you find our head?"
I followed and said, "Yes, uncle, you are ghosts. Don’t you care if you are in big trouble?"
The old man stared and shook his eyes. "You little dolls don’t ask me what big trouble the old man has encountered, but they have been holding on to these problems."
On the surface, the old man is bluffing, but it can be seen that he is not really angry, but deliberately. I spat out my tongue and smiled and said, "We are all here to eat, no matter how much trouble you are in, if we are within our ability, we must help you. Isn’t it curious?"
The old man pouted again. "You’re a little doll. You’re quite slick. You don’t eat my old man’s rice. I’m not afraid that you won’t help me if there is a bodhisattva to support me."
I curled my lips. "You old man, how can you find someone to help you? You are so righteous."
"How to talk to grandpa?" said Lu Keqin, giving me a hand.
Liu Dachuan also thinks I can’t speak well and stares at me.
I know they can’t fail to see that the old couple are not so old-fashioned
"Haha," the old man said with a bright smile. "No wonder the Bodhisattva is really angry with my old man for asking you to help me."
And Lu Keqin, Lin Xianer, they took a look at a bunch of old ladies and old men who were too white. "Oh, why did you blow the bodhisattva at some point and know your temper?"
The old lady’s behavior and words made us all laugh.
After laughing, the old man’s tone became serious. "You don’t know. Although we are working for the underworld, the Bodhisattva is in charge of the underworld, but neither the celestial gods nor the underworld can directly intervene in the human affairs. We should ask Taoist priests or Buddhist monks for help when we are in trouble, but monks can’t kill Taoism. Now it’s difficult for us to protect ourselves. Fortunately, the Bodhisattva has found you with a bright eye."
"I know that Taoist Tianshi and real people are very powerful if they don’t kill. How can they be trapped?"
"Alas ….." The old man sighed. "A few years ago, the ri ghost nan Jing killed Zhang Tianshi, Zhenjiao Wang Zhenren and Maoshan Zhangjiao and others went to nan Jing to fight ri to save lives. As a result, Xiao Li attracted a group of advanced ninjas and a large number of ghosts to besiege these sects, which caused them to suffer heavy losses and suffered heavy losses."
"Oh, before we came, we fought a ghost ninja, who could plunder the ground in Ling Fei and lead lightning."
The old man asked, "What’s the matter?"
I told the story of meeting the ninja in detail.
The old man clung to regret. "It’s a pity. It’s a pity that you shouldn’t let him go."
"Uncle, you won’t be in big trouble. It’s also these ninjas. Let’s help and kill them."
The old man nodded. "It’s really these ninjas who are in trouble, but it depends on providence whether you kill them or not."
"Uncle, the more you say, the more confused I am. Let’s just tell us what you are in trouble and let us do something."
The old man said, "You should know that when we were in the shade, our souls went to the shade to do some things in vitro and help the ghosts and ghosts to seduce their souls. Recently, we have a lot of people who have never returned after their souls were isolated. I suspect that their souls were arrested by the little ninja."
"You want me to find their souls."
The old man nodded and the old couple both cried …
Chapter one hundred and ninety-three Tell the details
Of course, the two old people didn’t cry, but their eyes were red and they shed tears silently, but even so, we were helpless for a while and didn’t know how to comfort them.
Fortunately, the old man quickly returned to normal, wiped his tears and smiled at us and said, "Let you laugh."
