Time flies by, and eight years have passed in the blink of an eye...
"Master, Xiao Sheng is here to see you." Wu Sheng burned a cigarette in front of the grave.
He burned the cigarette that his master loved to smoke while he was still alive, and at the same time kept talking about the passage of time.
Near the Qingming Festival, Wu Sheng, who was in his internship period, came to the grave of Taoist Lin who once saved his life, that is, his master.
Tomb of Lin Hongyi.
"These days go by so fast." Wu Sheng also picked up a cigarette and said with a wry smile: "After I followed you for three years, you left with the cigarette in your mouth, which adds up to eight years, Master. "
Seeing that the cigarette had been burned out, Wu Sheng took out the yellow paper again and said, "As for you, please smoke less down there."
"After paying homage to you, I have to go back to my hometown to see my father, Uncle Liangzi and the others..." Wu Sheng looked at the mountainside: "I don't know what you were thinking at that time? You have to be buried. What are you doing here?"
"Come on, I won't nag you anymore." Wu Sheng stood up and clapped his hands: "The leader of our internship unit is not easy to talk to, so he gave me three days' leave, and I left quickly..."
Wu Sheng arrived at the station in a hurry and got on the bus to his hometown. After getting on the bus, Wu Sheng took out two photos, which were the photos left to him by Taoist priest Lin Hongyi.
One is a photo of Lin Yejin as a child, and the other is a photo of his sister Lin Xi.
After his master paid all his tuition at once, he passed away. Over the years, Wu Sheng has relied on these two photos to constantly inquire about their whereabouts.
But this is like looking for a needle in a haystack. How can we find them? This was his master's unfulfilled wish. In the three years since he was still alive, Lin Hongyi had taken Wu Sheng around, teaching him Taoism while looking for the two of them.
Although several people were found during this period, they only had the same name, not the same person. After Lin Hongyi passed away, the remaining Wu Sheng became even more difficult to find.
In the beginning, Wu Sheng had to encounter paper puppets at least four times a year, but Lin Hongyi did not take action, letting Wu Sheng use the skills he taught him to deal with them.
After all, Lin Hongyi's end was approaching, and he would really be unable to help Wu Sheng if he died by then. Out of helplessness, Wu Sheng was trained again and again.
Wu Sheng also lived up to his master's wishes. In his third year, he was able to completely deal with those paper figures.
In the next few years, it will basically be done once a year, because this kind of paper puppet show that carries great risks to disperse people's resentment is really dangerous.
Gradually, he became lonely, and the alternative was to invite others to die. Of course, in terms of price, the latter was higher.
"Huh..." Wu Sheng looked at the sunset and said, "Tomorrow is the Qingming Festival. I hope nothing goes wrong..."
It was so quiet until eleven o'clock, when a middle-aged passenger sitting in the middle row began to say something to the neighboring passengers. After a while, many people noticed the middle-aged man.
Only then did they realize that what he was talking about was a strange thing. In an already boring environment, everyone immediately became interested and invited the person to start talking again.
The middle-aged man was also unambiguous. He immediately expanded his voice and started talking eloquently.
At this time, the bus was driving on the road at the foot of a continuous tunnel. Many tunnel lights were not on, so the atmosphere was needless to say.
The man pointed to the mountain in front of him: "It's probably on that mountain. I used to live in that area. The people in our area moved out because of that weird thing."
He sighed heavily: "About fourteen years ago, a wealthy family moved to that mountainous area."
"This rich man has a strange temperament. He doesn't enjoy himself in the city, but he has to live in the wild mountains where no one wants him."
"And there is only a village road at the foot of the mountain that can lead into the mountain. There are no other roads."
"A family of four moved in after buying the land and building a house. It was quite normal at first. They drove a very large off-road vehicle down the mountain to buy things, and they even greeted the villagers enthusiastically."
"But gradually they had less and less time to go down the mountain for activities, and only their teenage son and daughter came out. In the end, only his son came out, and he was crazy."
"The people in the village organized themselves to go up the mountain to look for it. After searching for a long time, they only found the car they had driven before, and it was parked in a strange place. Since then, it has never been found."
"Hey, uncle?! Is this the weird thing you want to talk about?" The woman sitting at the back scratched her head: "Isn't this weird?"
At this time, the driver who was driving spoke: "Haha, ok, buddy, they say you don't talk about people in vain, and you don't ask ghosts at night. What should you do if you are scaring everyone?"
"Yes, brother." Wu Sheng felt that this was a bit inappropriate, so he agreed with the driver's idea.
But just two people couldn't move the car full of people.
A man chuckled after hearing this: "Brother, it's all boring anyway, so I just want to create some atmosphere."
Everyone in the car nodded in unison.
When the driver saw that everyone agreed, he stopped disturbing everyone's temper. He smiled and nodded to the rearview mirror.
The middle-aged man took a sip of water: "Everyone, listen to me. This is just the beginning. Strange things will happen later."
After a while, the mountain often made terrifying beast noises in the middle of the night, and from time to time, people cried.
There was a hunter who did not believe in evil, so he went into the mountains one morning with his gun on his shoulder, just to see what was making the noise. But he found the place where the family lived by accident!
The villa that was built was really just like what was shown on TV! At first, the hunter was puzzled. He heard that this house seemed to have been built by his family of four.
But when he entered the house, he couldn't think so much. There were many treasures inside! The man immediately had an idea. Anyway, these were things that no one wanted, so he put them in his bag and exchanged them for some money.
"Finally, when the hunter came home the next day, he suddenly became crazy and kept chanting 'Death-seeking ghost, life-seeking ghost' all day long!" The man wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"The hunter died within a few days. His death was very strange and his death was very scary..." The man seemed to have thought of something: "On the day of his first seven days, his entire family died! People say this The hunter took something he shouldn't have, it's a dead man's thing! Now he's been punished!"
"The whole family has become a prisoner of that rich family, and they have gone to save their lives!"
"How can it be over? I was the one who lifted the hunter after he died!" The man took a deep breath: "I still remember that his twisted face was smiling, as if he was smiling harder at me when he was lifting him. "
"Then the hunter turned into a ghost! He often went to claim the lives of that family! Many people died!"
"Many Taoist priests have come to see this place, but they can't do anything about this hunter ghost! Some even killed his men, and some were so frightened that they fled."
"And the people in our villages were afraid that something would happen, so they all moved away!"
"Finally, an expert came and temporarily sealed him!" The man suddenly stopped when he said this, then buried his head and swayed in the car.
"Oh man! Why are you stuck again?! Tell me quickly!" The man on the side stepped forward and pushed the man: "You should tell me what happened next?"
"Then?" The man suddenly raised his head, startling the man next to him.
The man was so frightened that he retreated to his seat. He gave a thumbs up and said, "Brother, I'm not as good as you in everything I do!"
He laughed to himself. Without turning on the interior lights, no one could see his true face. With the moonlight, everyone could only see his outline.
He ignored Daza's words and said to himself: "Later, the evil ghost took the opportunity to run out and continued to seek life for his master..."
The man scratched his head: "It's just that today seems to be the first time he has come out in so many years."
"Eh!? Brother, how did you know that?!" Da Ga couldn't help but ask.
The man let out a cold laugh: "Because...because I am that hunter!"
