My matter has come to an end, and I can’t forget the promise I made to the curator.
I cleared my throat and asked softly: "Master, when I come this time, I also want to ask you to take away a piece of amethyst. Look..."
Master Ruhai nodded slowly: "There is no circulation place here in Pindao, and we never sell magic weapons."
"However, there is something here, Pindao, that can also neutralize the White Tiger Star Official."
As he spoke, he pointed under me with his whisk.
I looked at the patched futon and asked in disbelief.
"Y-is this?"
"Exactly."
Without saying much, I stood up with the futon in hand and bowed deeply to him.
Then I looked around and saw that there was no such thing as a payment code in the room.
"The relationship between you and me has nothing to do with money. The time has come and it's time for you to get off the mountain."
I was startled. Could this man be a living god?
Before I left the house, Master Ruhai gave me an inexplicable instruction.
"If you haven't arrived home before eight o'clock, be sure to stay away from the water."
I looked at the time. It was only two o'clock in the afternoon. No matter how slowly I walked, I would definitely reach the funeral parlor before eight o'clock.
Besides, there are no water bodies such as rivers in Monan County. Even if I wanted to look for them, I couldn't find them.
After coming out of the Taoist temple, I looked at the futon in my hand, took out my cell phone and called the curator.
On the phone, I made it very clear.
However, I privately added that he would buy some rice, flour, grain and oil for the old fairy every month from now on.
Ruhai Zhenren may not need money, but he also has to live.
The director's visit to the Taoist temple can be regarded as planting a field of good deeds, which is also a good thing.
On the way back, I kept thinking about Master Ruhai’s words. Where did I owe the debt?
When we arrived at the foot of the mountain, it was already evening, and since it was cloudy today, the sky was obviously darker than usual.
I hesitated for a while and decided not to go back to the funeral home yet.
Although this has a high probability of being a dead end, I still want to try it.
Even if I am asked to repay the debt, I have to know who to pay it to, right?
This kid was actually behind me the whole time, but he never showed up.
If you follow the normal method of warding off evil spirits, he will definitely not come out.
This matter needs to be done in an eccentric way.
The sun sets in the west, the sky is getting late, and dark clouds are rolling in from the distance, making people feel breathless.
The hour hand pointed to 22:00. I went into the small shop behind me and bought some yellow paper. I also bought some used dishes and chopsticks.
There is basically no nightlife in the small county. At this time, there are almost no people on the road.
I looked around and found a T-intersection.
From a Feng Shui perspective, T-shaped intersections are more likely to attract evil spirits and are more suitable for burning paper than crossroads.
The moon was dark and the wind was high, the street lights were dim, and the strong wind was blowing the leaves above my head.
The air pressure before the rainstorm was terribly low, and I sniffed unconsciously.
"Click."
The lighter burst into orange flames.
The yellow paper ignited with the wind, and black smoke blew out. I turned the bowl upside down and tapped the bottom of the bowl with my chopsticks.
"Dang Dang Dang..."
The sound of the chopsticks hitting the bottom of the bowl was amplified many times by the deserted night.
"Whose wife or husband are you?"
…
A gust of wind blew against the ground, and the ashes of the yellow paper floated in the air and slowly fell like black butterflies.
My heart tightened, and I quickly closed my eyes and pretended that nothing happened.
"Take big money, take the high road, and climb mountains and ridges without fear."
Suddenly, a whirlwind blew next to the pile of paper, that's it!
Before burning the paper, draw a circle on the ground, but you must leave a gap. This is for the little devils passing by.
But once
If you find that the wind is blowing from the left, it means that the person who came to withdraw money is an outsider and not a member of your family.
And that child is a member of my family.
This means that he has arrived.
I could feel him near me.
He has already started to collect the money. When he has received half of it, I will stamp out the burning paper.
If he can't get the money, he will naturally show up out of anger.
However, I can't open my eyes now. Once I open my eyes, I will startle him, and then I will definitely fail.
Under the tremendous mental pressure, I felt my eyelids twitching constantly, and a trace of sweat seeped down my forehead.
I hit the bottom of the bowl faster and faster, making a clanging sound.
Suddenly, I closed my eyes, stretched out my foot, and stepped quickly on the pile of paper.
I waited for a long time, but the kid didn't show up.
"Hahahaha."
Suddenly, there was a voice above my head. When I looked up, I felt my nose was wet.
The ghost baby with a head as big as a pot lid, covered with a blue-gray skin, hung upside down on the tree like a bat.
A pair of eyes without pupils looked at me lifelessly, and a wide mouth grinned down to the base of the ears.
The skin looked like it had been soaked in water and was covered in wrinkles, mixed with a lot of mucus like snot.
"Crack!"
The putrid liquid on his skin landed on my nose again. I couldn't hold it back and almost spit it out.
"Are you looking for me?"
A child's voice sounded from his mouth. The voice was clearly full of childishness, but the tone was extremely old, sounding more like the voice of an old lady.
