The years of reselling the haunted house

I finally understood where my incense ash should be sprinkled. After listening to my third uncle's order, I quickly poured the incense ash in my hand into the copper bowl without saying a word.The rhizome baby's body is not big, and a furnace full of incense ash has almost covered the baby's body.

I have just discovered that this baby's limbs are complete. If there is any difference from a normal baby, it is his facial features.The rhizome of this Metadora tree should not be fully formed, and the facial features of the formed baby look a little unclear and vague.

"Nephew, if we come a few days later, I'm afraid this stem will take shape." The third uncle stood there for a long time, then exhaled and said.

"What's the matter with this child? What will happen when it takes shape?" I couldn't help being curious, and interjected.

"As I said, this is a kind of sorcery, and I don't know the specifics. But the number of spells also has something in common, so I can also destroy this ghost seedling with this method of Taoism. I know that there is a The sorcery that grows ghost seedlings should be this. Ghost seedlings grow, that is, ghosts use plants to help them escape. You see that the root looks like a baby, but it is actually the body of the ghost baby, that is, the dead body that Chen Ximei buried. The baby has already merged with this stem. In that haunted house, there is full of fierceness and yin, which can nourish the growth of this ghost seedling. When the baby's facial features are fully formed, this ghost fetus will break out of the ground..."

"What will happen if you break out of the ground?" Listening to Uncle San talking about this, I felt more and more that I knew too little, so I asked anxiously.

"There are records in ancient books that this kind of ghost fetus is unearthed, and if it is properly guided, it can be revived. But Chen Ximei is dead, and this ghost fetus is left alone, and it will become the Feisha ghost baby recorded in ancient books. The fetus in the womb is food. And this kind of flying evil is not easy to form, it is difficult to subdue. It is estimated that many people will suffer."

After hearing Uncle San's explanation, I couldn't believe it. It sounds like a fairy tale.

Seeing my doubts, the third uncle also said: "It is said that it is recorded in ancient books. No one has seen it with their own eyes. It is better to believe that this kind of thing exists than to believe that it does not exist. The reason why this kind of evil method is called It is evil, and it has its own reasons. Right now, let’s destroy the unformed ghost fetus and ghost seedlings, regardless of whether it is true or not, it will be settled once and for all.”

"Okay. How to destroy it?"

"Burn him." After finishing speaking, Third Uncle dug a hole on the ground with a shovel, and put the withered ghost seedling in it.From the bag like a conjuring, he pulled out a few firewood sticks.

"Third uncle, your bag is a grocery store, why do you have everything?"

The third uncle said: "When you come out to work, how can you do it if you don't have everything ready. These firewood sticks are made in the stove of the farmhouse. They burn human fireworks, also called Yaohuo, which are very effective against some evil things."

As the third uncle said, he lit a firewood stick and threw it into the pit.

From time to time, I filled the fire with firewood, and the flames burned more and more vigorously.

But the strange thing is that, although the mulberry plant has withered, it seems to be able to prevent fire, and there is no flame, and the surface of the leaf seems to be soaked in oil, sizzling.

Seeing this, the third uncle hurriedly pulled out a few pieces of talisman paper, broke his middle finger, wrote a few talismans on the talisman paper, and threw it into the fire.

The talisman paper burned quickly. Strange to say, as the talisman paper burned out, the burning flame rose to a height of more than one meter.

At the same time, I heard a sound like a baby crying.The voice was sharp and sad, as if enduring endless pain.

After hearing that cry, I felt the skin of my body tightened, and goosebumps appeared.

The two of us were staring at the pit intently, and no one expected that a sigh came from behind us suddenly.

The sigh was so soft that it was not really heard.

Before we could look back, a figure jumped out from beside us.The figure moved quickly, and rushed to the side of the fire in three or two steps, reaching out to scoop up the ghost seedlings inside.

My third uncle and I never expected that someone would appear here and now, so after experiencing this change, we didn't react for a while.

Waiting for the third uncle to shout: "Who?"

The man had already picked up the ghost seedlings from the fire with his bare hands, and flew down in another direction.

We followed a few steps, and the man quickly disappeared into the night.

We had no choice but to stop, and the third uncle cursed: "Damn it. Someone is robbing this thing."

I stared at the direction the person left, recalled it for a while, and asked, "Third Uncle, look at that back, does it look like a person?"

"Huh?" The third uncle was taken aback: "Like a person? Like who?"

I shook my head: "It is impossible."

The third uncle said angrily, "What are you talking about, what did you see?"

"That old man. The old man in the library, I think his back looks a bit like him. And this man also has silver hair."

"Damn it. Did you notice this? You said that, and I feel the same way. Isn't this old man a professor? Why grab this thing?" The third uncle was also puzzled.

"Who knows. He was very interested in the picture of the Murdara that we had at the time. I figured that he might have followed us after we left. He followed us all the way to this place, and when we entered the haunted house, he would He lost it. But he didn't give up, and kept searching around until he saw us burning this ghost seedling, so he took the initiative to snatch it."

I analyzed it, and the third uncle nodded, agreeing with my statement.

The third uncle waved his hand: "Forget it, the ghost seedling has been burned to death, and there should be no way to revive it. Although our task is not complete, it is considered complete. When we finish this haunted house, we will go to the university to find it when we have time." The old man asked."

I looked at Third Uncle and asked, "Then this haunted house is broken?"

The third uncle said: "It's almost there. The power of the confinement ghost lies in this child. The ghost's body has been destroyed, and his soul should have dissipated by now. Didn't you hear the ghost crying? At noon tomorrow, we will go to the haunted house to clean the house, and the rest of the ghosts and dirty things will be removed naturally. By then, we will be able to manage the house. Hehe, when the time comes to find a buyer, hundreds of thousands will be in hand , nephew, we will be developed."

When he said this, the third uncle's face was flushed, as if he had been injected with chicken blood.

"what about now?"

The third uncle yawned: "Go back to sleep. Damn, I'm trapped to death now."

We packed our things, pulled a car and headed back to the basement.

According to Uncle San, the matter went well.But I feel that things are going to be difficult, maybe it may not be as easy as the third uncle said, in fact, the development afterward has also verified my feeling.

Chapter 14

Although it's not quite perfect, this house can be regarded as a solution according to the third uncle.It was as if we had unloaded a heavy burden from our shoulders, which instantly relieved the tense nerves of my third uncle and me.

My third uncle and I were lying in a mess in the basement, and fell asleep almost without any buffer.

This time, we slept in the dark, except for getting up to pee, we almost didn't move the place.The experience of these two days, the mental and physical fatigue, is something I have never encountered in my life.So much later, I realized that this experience was nothing compared to what happened later.

Until the morning of the third day, Uncle San peed in the bucket next to my head. I thought it was raining in a dream, so I wiped the water from my face and woke up when I felt something was wrong.

The third uncle was sleepy, and was about to get under the bed after urinating, but I grabbed him, and it took him a long time to wake up.

The third uncle stretched his waist, patted my shoulder and said, "Let's go, nephew, let's have morning tea?"

I said angrily: "Go eat your fried dough sticks and tofu brain."

The third uncle sneered: "Let's deal with it first, and then we'll go clean the house. If everything goes well, we'll get the money after seven days. Then we'll go to the best restaurant in Shenzhen."

I gave him a blank look: "You said it lightly. Even if the house is broken, you are guaranteed to find a buyer within seven days?"

The third uncle waved his hand: "Don't worry. Who is your third uncle? I've already found a buyer, and I'm just waiting for us to break the bad situation of this house. It will be a matter of minutes to sign the contract and get the money. "

Seeing that Uncle San is full of confidence, I am also dubious. Could it be that Uncle San really did something reliable this time?

In the morning, Uncle San took me to the surrounding counties to buy things, saying that they were all needed for Jing Zhai.

The third uncle told me that after breaking the murder situation of the haunted house, there is another important step, which is to clean the house.

The so-called Jingzhai is also called Sajing or Wangzhai, and in some places it is called Wangsijiao or Wangbajiao.The main purpose is to remove the yin qi left in the house by purifying the house. Only when the yin qi is removed will it not attract dirty things.

Speaking of this, Uncle San also said that removing Yin Qi is actually a literal term. In the final analysis, it is to remove the remaining ghosts in the house.It's just that saying this kind of statement at the moment can easily cause panic. After all, not everyone believes in the existence of ghosts in the world.

In real life, many people don't pay attention to or don't know how to clean the house, so there are so many haunted houses.But people who study Fengshui and practice Taoism know the steps of cleaning the house. If they don't know how to clean the house, they are definitely not a qualified Fengshui master and Taoist disciple.

The third uncle explained a lot to me, and then smiled: "But it's also thanks to the fact that most people don't know how to clean the house, otherwise how would we make money?"

I glanced at Third Uncle, this kind of thinking is a bit inhumane.After all, if there is a haunted house, people will die tragically.But having said that, we cracked the haunted house, making money is one aspect, and by the way, we also saved the souls of the dead, so that the dead can live in peace, which is not necessarily a good deed.Thinking of this, my heart is much more at ease.

Third Uncle prepared a lot of things. In addition to the whole grains that he often used, he also bought a few bottles of white wine, all of which were high-grade grain wine. Others included red paper, yellow paper, red cloth, steamed buns, and sandalwood. , broom and other objects.

We have been shopping all morning.Finally, I prepared a large bag of things, and arrived at the deserted building at noon.

At the gate of the deserted building, Third Uncle put on his tattered Daoist robe again.I looked at the oil-stained Taoist robe, which should be the one he wore when he came back from learning Taoism.Later, he was beaten up by the old Liang's family, and his Taoist robe was torn.Now I see that there are many patches sewn on it, it should be repaired by the third uncle.

I looked at it and couldn't help but said, "Third Uncle, is this robe of yours an antique? You can't wash it, what does it smell like?"

The third uncle gave me a white look: "You know what a fart, this robe is left to me by my master. It is stained with immortality, and it will lose the immortality after washing it. I usually don't wear it easily. Let's go to the clean house, You also learn a little bit, and I will leave this job to you in the future."

It was the first time I heard my third uncle mention his master, and he seemed to be quite remarkable. Just as I was about to ask a few questions, my third uncle opened the door and walked in.

I stood outside the door, still a little hesitant, after all, what happened that night is still vivid in my mind.

The third uncle turned his head and said, "Don't worry. At noon, ghosts can't make trouble."

Only then did I safely follow Uncle San into the house. Uncle San asked me to start from the first floor and open all the doors and windows.We opened the doors and windows one by one until the second floor.At the same time, use a broom to clean up some sundries on the ground.Among them is the puppet that has been destroyed beyond recognition.The third uncle said that this thing had to be taken back and burned.In addition, the falling Bodhisattva in the cabinet was also wrapped in a red cloth by the third uncle, and he will be disposed of later.

Then the third uncle mixed the bought grains together and put them in a basin for me to hold.In addition, he fetched a basin of clean water and carried it by himself, and took a stalk of sorghum millet off the broom and held it in his hand.

We started from the innermost window on the second floor. The third uncle dipped sorghum millet in clear water and dusted it out of the window, muttering something in his mouth: "This house has an owner, please tell the Quartet that you should leave and go when you come. Make offerings, return the God of the house, avoid miscellaneous things..."

Every time I go to a window, after Uncle San has dusted off the clean water, I need to scatter half of the grains in the basin indoors and half out of the window.Sprinkle all the way to the door of the entrance door.

Finally, the third uncle took the compass and set up a small incense table in the center of the house, paved it with red cloth, placed three large bowls, lined the bowls with red paper, filled them with grains, and burned three sticks of incense. , for wine and food.The third uncle held three sticks of incense in his hands, bowed three times, and said: "The god of the house has arrived, and the incense is back."

After the incense is burned, you can go out.When you finally go out, hang a piece of red cloth on the door frame. Even if the house cleaning has come to an end, the grains scattered on the ground need to be kept for more than seven days.

When we finished the last step, the third uncle also let out a sigh of relief, saying that he could contact the buyer.

Without losing the opportunity, I asked my third uncle: "I heard that the mantra you recited involves the house god. What kind of god is this house god? Why have I never heard of it?"

The third uncle was mysterious and told me in a low voice: "It is said that it is a house god, but it is actually a ghost. We build this clean house, to put it bluntly, to drive out the ghosts and settle the house ghosts. This house ghost is what we call the house god. Through the clean house House means that the god of the house declares sovereignty to the four directions, and at the same time warns the ghosts that the owner of the house is protected. It is also because of the protection of the house ghost that the owner of the house can be safe and free from intrusions by outside ghosts. Therefore, there is a saying, A house without ghosts is hard to live in."

I nodded: "We solve the murderous situation, that is to drive away or get rid of the evil spirits, and invite the house ghosts back after the end, is that what you mean?"

The third uncle praised: "That's right. A child can be taught..."

Then, the third uncle called someone, and after chatting for a while, he told me with a smile: "It's done. After seven days, we will clear the grains in the house, and we will sign a contract with the buyer. We will get it." The money, excluding the part given to Chen Dafa, we can make a net profit of 50. It will be due in half a month, and we will have an account with Boss Wu."

I was also moved by Uncle San's beautiful vision for the future, imagining that we could get the first pot of gold in seven days.I still owe a lot of foreign debts, and it's really difficult to live with debts.At that time, they will be able to pay back, the so-called debt-free.

For the first time, I feel that the seven days are so long, it is not an exaggeration to describe it as like a year.In seven days, we spent the last more than 100 yuan of the third uncle, and we also paid a lot of credit at the food stall in Guozai.

When the seven days came, the third uncle hurriedly took out his phone, ready to contact the buyer.

Who knew that before the call was made, a call came in.

The third uncle looked at the number and hurriedly answered it.

While talking on the phone, I saw my third uncle suddenly stand up from his chair, his tone changed, and his emotions became agitated.

When I saw that something was going wrong, I saw my third uncle arguing excitedly with the other party on the phone, pacing back and forth in the room with limited space.

In the end, the third uncle yelled into the phone: "Fuck you..."

After finishing speaking, the third uncle hung up the phone resentfully, as if he was going to fall, but fortunately he controlled his emotions and was not willing to fall.

But Third Uncle's face was ugly, extremely gloomy.

I asked cautiously, "Third Uncle, what happened?"

The third uncle couldn't get rid of his anger, and said bitterly: "I'm a fucking villain, a villain, I'm a fucking villain. I really beat dogs all the year round, and let the dog bite my leg..."

I reminded: "Third Uncle, he hunts geese all year round, and the geese pecked at his eyes."

"It's a dog, he's even worse than a fucking dog. Do you know who is calling? It's Chen Dafa. This bitch has heard that I broke the haunted house, but he doesn't accept it. The price promised to me doesn't count. Yes. Can you tell me that I am not in a hurry? The buyer has been found over there."

"I said third uncle, you didn't sign a contract with him?"

The third uncle stomped his feet: "Isn't this urgent? I didn't think too much about it. Who knew he could change his mind?"

I smiled wryly and said, "Then we are not wronged at all by our somersault."

All the beautiful visions, like soap bubbles, burst in an instant, and the two of us are like deflated balls.Although various difficulties were imagined in advance, most of them were in the process of how to crack the haunted house.Never expected such a turn of events.

All our plans are based on successfully buying and selling haunted houses.Now when the accident happens, everything will be in vain.

At this moment, the door was kicked open.

The flesh-faced Boss Wu came in with a maniac, glanced at us, and said with a sneer, "Old Man Li, the seven-day limit is up, where is my money..."

Chapter 15

I was startled and calculated the time. Today should be exactly the seventh day.

The space in the room was limited, and Boss Wu came in with two people. This time, they were both wearing black shirts, with big arms and round waists, and a fierce look on their faces. It seemed that they were masters who often beat and killed.And listening to the movement in the corridor, there must be more than the three of them.

My third uncle and I are clean now, not to mention 30 yuan, not even 30 yuan.

So when I saw the other party coming in to question me, I was a little dumbfounded.

Look at the third uncle again, as expected of an old fried dough stick, he is much calmer than me.When this guy saw someone coming, he still didn't forget to call Boss Wu and said: "Benefactor Wu, the poor Taoist chief is here."

Mr. Wu waved his hand in a big way: "Go to hell, Mr. Li, you've been playing tricks all day long. I don't think you look like a monk. But I don't care if you are really sophisticated. I only care about my money. I don't care about my money. Today, you give me 40 yuan, let's settle the accounts, otherwise..."

As soon as Boss Wu changed his subject, the two people behind him took a step forward, and a chilling atmosphere enveloped the audience.

I gritted my teeth, it's really a usury, isn't this a wild asking price?In just a few days, it has increased by 10 yuan.But no one is to blame for this matter, only the third uncle. The way he borrows money is not protected by law.With this kind of result, it is natural for the dumb to eat coptis.

The third uncle's face changed when he heard this, and he hurriedly said, "Boss Wu, I also accept the 40. It's just..."

Boss Wu sneered: "Do you think it's useful? I shouldn't have believed you last time..."

As he said that, Boss Wu glanced at me standing beside him, his eyes were cold and frighteningly cold.

Boss Wu then said to the third uncle: "You say you, it's fine if you don't pay the money, and you even brought your own nephew in, do you still look like an uncle? I feel ashamed for your nephew ..."

When I heard this, I felt a little unhappy. Although my third uncle and I haven't seen each other for many years, he is also a bit unreliable, but after all, blood is thicker than water. We can do whatever we want, but I can't see my relatives being insulted by outsiders .Anyway, my third uncle and I are in the same trench now.
