Part-Time Taoist Priest

Chapter 16: The Ghost Worships the Lamp

Tuyang Forum

[Fuyang Interesting Stories] Topic: Did anyone pass Jingui Pedestrian Street yesterday?

Content: The host is still very scared, only dare to post during the day.I passed by Jingui Pedestrian Street after overtime work at eleven o'clock last night, and passed by the entrance of Baoyang Temple. I heard the sound of singing scriptures inside, and curiously, I peeked through the crack of the door to look inside.In the end, I saw a lot of people, and I wondered why I was still here so late, but when I took a closer look, these people didn’t touch the ground, and then I suddenly remembered that last night was the Ghost Festival, and Taoist priests were doing rituals by singing scriptures!

1L: ? ? ?Scary to death, true or false

2L: Don’t be kidding me. There are still people dancing in Liming Square at Jingui Pedestrian Street at night. If there are ghosts, they should be scared away.

3L: No one danced in the square last night, but the area was lively enough

4L: Sir, you have hallucinations, go to the hospital

5L: Why is it Baoyang Temple again? Two days ago, there was a post asking whether the talismans of Baoyang Temple work or not. You are not the sailors of Baoyang Temple, are you?

6L: Uh, landlord, is your luck particularly low recently?If your luck is particularly low, don’t go out at night during the Mid-Yuan Festival. It’s easy to see this kind of thing. Fortunately, you saw it in a Taoist temple...

……

18L: I work near Baoyang Temple. This place is really magical. The employees of a company downstairs didn’t believe it. They said some disrespectful words at the entrance of the Taoist temple. I was unlucky for several days. It’s better to go to burn incense later.

19L: It was rumored that there were no mosquitoes in Baoyang Temple. I visited it, and there were indeed no mosquitoes. I also found a very sad thing.Their Taoist temple is so poor that there is only one Taoist priest, so they probably don't have the money to hire a navy?

……

45L: ...I'm a little bit convinced.My aunt was at the scene last night. She didn't see a ghost, but she told me that two believers felt cold in the middle, as if there was something around them.And after going back at night, my aunt also dreamed about my grandpa (he got a coffin for the deceased grandpa last night), saying that grandpa smiled at her in the dream and asked her to take care of herself in the future.

46L: Ah, don't scare me upstairs, I will take it seriously! !

Xie Lingya closed the webpage. He heard about the post on the local forum about the Ghost Festival last night, so he took a look online.He usually doesn't go to this forum very much, but it's very good to see it now to understand the image of Benguan.

Because the subject of the post only mentioned Jingui Pedestrian Street but not Baoyang Temple, Xie Lingya searched for it for a while, went in and browsed, and found that he was not the only one who saw Hundred Ghosts holding rice last night.

But this landlord who saw ghosts is different from him, probably because his luck is too low or his anger is too weak.

This kind of person is still rare, like He Zun, he also has a bad luck recently, but he didn't see it directly last night, it's just that he has a strong sense, which shows that the host is even worse than He Zun.

Someone downstairs had already reminded the host to be careful on the Ghost Festival night, so Xie Lingya stopped paying attention.

Although the scale of the Zhongyuan Dharma meeting at Baoyang Temple last night was not very large, it had a very good reputation, and both believers and onlookers who participated felt it.Today, several believers specially came to the Taoist temple again and told Zhang Daoting that they dreamed about their deceased relatives last night.

With this incident, they can be said to be more confident in their beliefs. They asked Zhang Daoting how to practice, and even a few believers asked if they could come to the temple to do volunteer work.Baoyang Temple is quite short of people, so naturally it will not refuse.

People who often go to Baoyang Temple also heard about the Fa conference, and it became a hot topic among them for several days, and they regretted not attending the Fa conference.The believers who participated had a wonderful sense of mission and took the trouble to tell their experiences to those who came to ask.

This story was widely circulated, and it was also discussed in the local forum, which added a layer of mystery to Baoyang Temple.

Unlike pilgrims, for those who have no faith and are outside the information radiation circle, they are more interested in, of course, urban anecdotes, such as ghosts for women who work night shifts during the Ghost Festival.

In the evening, Xie Lingya went to look for Ding Aima again, "Did you come to watch last night?"

Ding Aima said: "I have been hearing the sound of the Dharma bell from your place, but I don't want to go, because I feel that it is telling me to die... oh no, to save me."

Of course, it is not mandatory to call back souls at the Zhongyuan Fahui. Some ghosts don't want to leave, so they won't go.

"You can hear it from this far away. It's the supernatural power." Xie Lingya said, "I didn't succeed in the ghost survey last night. I'm too inexperienced. I don't know if I will have the chance next year. However, I think being superseded All the ghosts look peaceful, so they shouldn't be uncomfortable."

"It's secondary, mainly because it sounds like they've lost their life!" Ding Aima said.

Xie Lingya: "??"

Lost life?Do you know what idiom you are using?

Ding Aima said with longing in his eyes, "I'll continue to be a ghost, I don't think there's anything left to do after they've been saved... I'm working part-time because I want to live in a big house in the future. This place has been built and started to be renovated. Soon I will be able to live in a big house without spending any money.”

After hearing this, Xie Lingya was a little envious, yes, he was really envious, isn't this place much better than their Taoist temple's decoration.

"Forget it, twisted melons are not sweet." Xie Lingya looked at the time, "I'll go back first. There are no places for wild ghosts in the urban area. If you want to eat, go to the back door of our Taoist temple and stay there at night For dinner."

Ding Aima swallowed, "Okay!"

This is probably the only dissatisfaction about Ding Aima being a ghost. Many foods can be seen but not eaten.

All ghosts and gods in the underworld, if the people in the underworld did not sacrifice food specially, they would have nothing to eat.That’s why there is a saying, “If a person is full, he can last a day, if a ghost is full, he can last a year.”

……

Tonight, because it was still July [-]th, the Taoist temple closed early, Xie Lingya taught Zhang Daoting how to draw talismans in the backyard, but not everyone has his talent, Zhang Daoting said: "Oh, I think I will recite the rituals of the ceremony. It’s okay to do hand-to-hand combat, but drawing amulets is really difficult!”

Such a complex character needs to be drawn in one go without distraction. Just one talisman is enough for him to practice for a long time, but there are more than a hundred Taoist talismans.

Xie Lingya asked him to practice all the signature symbols of Baoyang Temple.

Shi Changxuan was on the sidelines in contact with his mentor. It is said that although the other party is a scholar, he has studied for many years and has a little understanding of their internal real situation. He and Shi Changxuan's family have also known each other for a long time.The caller was concerned about Shi Changxuan's life.

Shi Changxuan told his mentor that he would still live in the Taoist temple in the future, and hung up without saying much.

"You haven't been to the school yet, right? It's quite big. I'll show you the way when school starts." Xie Lingya said kindly. Before Shi Changxuan could answer, he heard some noise outside the back door, so he got up and opened the door to have a look.

I saw a young policeman in police uniform among some vendors outside. He was the police officer who was in charge of their area. A little girl who looked like a student was beside him, crying.

"What's the matter?" Xie Lingya couldn't help asking.

A fruit seller knew Xie Lingya, and said, "Xiao Xie, this girl dropped a bag here earlier and was picked up. It contained three months' living expenses. This place happens to be a blind spot for monitoring. I'm asking who to watch it." arrive."

But like this situation, they all know in their hearts that the hope is relatively slim.

Officer Wang saw Xie Lingya and asked, "Xie Lingya, did you open the back door and what did you see?"

Xie Lingya was about to say that our back door is not very open at all, when he suddenly thought of something and said, "Wait a minute, I'll ask other people."

He ran back to get the cinnabar, and quickly drew the eyes of the Lingguan on the center of his eyebrows. When he went out this time, he could see what he wanted to see—as expected, Ding Aima was squatting on the steps and planning rice. Two wild ghosts were robbing him, and the three ghosts fought with one hand and took time to eat with one hand.

Xie Lingya: "..."

Someone saw that Xie Lingya had painted something on his forehead when he came back, and said straightly, "Why is the face still painted?"

Xie Lingya laughed, "It's just a joke."

Looking at Ding Aima again, he opened his mouth wide and desperately stuffed food into his mouth, the corner of his mouth was picked by another ghost, and a third of it would leak out.

Ding Aima took a moment to glance at Xie Lingya, knowing what he meant, and said vaguely: "There is a man in his 30s who sees no one is around, so he just walks away. He wears light blue jeans, a yellow top, and a tattoo on his chest. The monkey seems to be wearing a red bracelet."

Xie Lingya then said to Police Officer Wang: "Brother Wang, I asked you clearly. It should be picked up by a man in his 30s who was wearing light blue jeans, a yellow-bottomed monkey top, and a red bracelet. Take a look. Can you find the face in the surveillance video?"

The little girl was filled with hope immediately, and the onlookers all said how lucky they were, someone really saw it.

Officer Wang also felt lucky, not only did he have witnesses, but he even remembered the details so clearly, so he quickly asked Xie Lingya to thank him on his behalf, and took the little girl to watch the video.

The little girl looked at Xie Lingya, but her face blushed slightly, and she whispered: "That..."

Although Xie Lingya had a strange symbol drawn between his brows, which made him look a little bit in the middle, but the bright red cinnabar made his complexion fairer, and his eyebrows and eyes looked better. She summoned up her courage and said, "Can you leave a contact information, I want to thank you for finding it." .”

Everyone had ambiguous smiles on their faces, thinking that this little sister is clever, even if she didn't find the bag, it would be nice to find a boyfriend.

Even Police Officer Wang felt speechless. She didn't expect that she was still crying just now, but now she was in the mood to strike up a conversation, but she didn't rush her.

Some good people joked: "This place is a Taoist temple."

The little girl's face is broken, this place is a Taoist temple, she really didn't see it from the back door, so this person lives in a Taoist temple, is it a monk?

"But Xiao Xie is not a Taoist priest." Another person said.

"..." The little girl felt that her mood was like riding a roller coaster.

Xie Lingya didn't know whether to laugh or cry, this little girl looked like she was in high school, "You better go find your wallet, if you want to thank you, just come to Baoyang Temple and find Daoist Zhang directly." Zhang Daoting.

"Okay, thank you." The little girl gave Xie Lingya a few more nostalgic glances before leaving.

Zhang Daoting and the others were sitting in the backyard with the door open. Although they couldn't see the outside, they could vaguely hear voices, including Xie Lingya throwing his bag on Zhang Daoting, but what could he say.

After Xie Lingya came back, Zhang Daoting asked curiously, "Boss, when did you see the money picker?"

After dinner, they all sat here to study talismans, and the boss asked the little girl to find him, but he never opened the back door.

Xie Lingya made nonsense: "I learned clairvoyance, and I can see that you learned the ten groups of symbols earlier, and I will teach you too."

Zhang Daoting was stunned for a while, and then turned his head to ask Shi Changxuan: "Daozhang Shi, it can't be true, right? Eyesight really exists?" He felt that Shi Changxuan came from a family, so he should know a lot about it. It doesn't look like someone who likes to fool people.

Shi Changxuan shook his head, "It's not that mysterious."

Zhang Daoting: "Hey, I just said..."

Shi Changxuan: "I should have asked the ghost at the door."

Zhang Daoting: "..."

Hey, no, this is also very mysterious...!

In a few days, it will be time for Quedong College to start, and Xie Lingya happily accompanied Shi Changxuan to report.

He is a local, and he has studied at Quedong College for four years, so he is naturally familiar with it. Although he doesn't know anyone in the philosophy department, he can always lead a way to report and pay fees, and the process is similar.

On the way, Xie Lingya also met a few acquaintances. The first question they asked was: "Senior, I heard that you have become a monk?"

Xie Lingya: "...Nonsense! I just work in a Taoist temple!"

Xie Lingya first practiced at Baoyang Temple, and then helped Cheng Jie exorcise ghosts. Because Cheng Jie said he wanted to continue the postgraduate entrance examination in the future, he mainly talked about Shi Changxuan he introduced, but for some reason, it changed after the word spread. It turned out that he became a monk.

The younger brothers and sisters are relieved, that's about the same, Taoist temples also need finances.But what they don't know is that generally the finances of such places also require religious beliefs, even lay people.

"I heard that your Taoist temple still sells talismans, and there are still people in our school who buy them. Is it really good?" The fame of Baoyang Temple is becoming more and more popular in Fuyang City, even the younger students have heard of it.

Not only are we selling it, but it is actually my painting, Xie Lingya said in his heart, "If it works, you will know if you try it yourself, and you can get a [-]% discount if you report my name."

"Haha, it's good to be brave." But everyone still cares about one question, that is who is the handsome guy Xie Lingya is accompanying.

Xie Lingya considered that Shi Changxuan was not a lively character, and during the short period of time he lived in Baoyang Temple, he usually lived very restrained, and he didn't play much with his mobile phone, so he introduced it lightly, making him want Shi Changxuan a little bit. The school girl who hung up her contact information was also embarrassed to say anything.

Seeing this, Shi Changxuan didn't say anything, and acquiesced.

Saying goodbye to these juniors, Xie Lingya accompanied Shi Changxuan through the formalities, and visited Quedong College by the way, giving him a brief introduction before going back.

……

Xie Lingya returned to the Taoist temple and didn't see Zhang Daoting in front of him, so he casually asked a believer who was doing volunteer work here.

After the Ghost Festival, a total of three believers became volunteers of Baoyang Temple. They would take turns to help and do some work such as reception and registration, which relieved Zhang Daoting a lot of burden.

The volunteer replied, "Daozhang Zhang and others went to the backyard, as if to clear up their doubts."

Confused?Are you also a believer?Xie Lingya felt strange, and went to the room in the backyard with Shi Changxuan, and saw Zhang Daoting sitting at the table with two men, both of them were dressed more professionally, one was in his 30s, and the other was a little older.

Seeing that Xie Lingya was not dressed as a monk, the two thought they were also here to seek Zhang Daoting's confusion, and said, "Student, can you wait outside first? We haven't finished chatting with Zhang Daoist yet."

"No, I misunderstood. This is the person in charge of our Taoist temple, brother Xie Lingya, and Daoist Shi who is on our side. He is a Taoist priest of Zhengyihuo, so he doesn't dress up like a monk." Zhang Daoting quickly explained After a while, because they finally came back, there was a sense of relief.

After the two listened, looking at Zhang Daoting's expression, they all realized that Xie Lingya's identity is very important.Now many temples and Taoist temples in scenic spots have been contracted, but that kind of boss must not understand the inside of the temple, Xie Lingya is different.

Zhang Daoting called Xie Lingya senior brother in front of people because Xie Lingya taught him something, but he also talked with Xie Lingya's peers, and the two felt that Xie Lingya was also an expert.

The two sat down on the sofa, Xie Lingya asked casually: "Are you here to do something?"

Among them, the oldest man, about 40, said: "...More or less, we are from Yishui Mining, and I want to ask Daoist Zhang to show us Fengshui, and then we will build a dojo."

Queshan Province is rich in minerals, especially gold and jade. Yishui Mining belongs to Queshan Mining Group, a state-owned enterprise in the provincial capital, and has several mines in Fuyang.If it is this kind of company, then there is nothing strange about the channel.

Fuyang produces gold, silver, and coal, so gold and jade are always included in place names.Moreover, most of the mines in Fuyang are located in non-urban areas, or in counties under their jurisdiction.

Xie Lingya's father works in the county, and he told Xie Lingya that the mining area is superstitious, and many mines do not allow women to go to the mines, and there are many taboos like this.There are folk magic sticks doing things for the mines, and the money they charge is higher than that of formal Taoist temples like Taihe Temple.

This is still much better.In the 70s and 90s, all ghosts and snakes were killed, and it has been affected until the [-]s. People still think that superstition is wrong, at least unspeakable, and burning paper during the Ghost Festival must be done secretly.Up to now, some people in the mine have become more particular, but the atmosphere is not so serious anymore.

Fortunately, Xie Lingya didn't know much about Fengshui. Zhang Daoting was worried about it just now. He added: "Old...brother, it's like this. They have a coal mine that is often haunted recently. Because they built new buildings, they suspect There is a problem with Fengshui. I heard about the Zhongyuan Fahui from a believer, and I hope we will also set up a transcendence dojo in the past, and take a look at Fengshui by the way."

That's the case, no wonder they didn't look for people in the county, the Zhongyuan Dharma meeting of Baoyang Temple was very effective and attracted them.

Xie Lingya doesn't know much about feng shui, and recently he only worked hard on talismans and miscellaneous arts. It stands to reason that he can only take half of this job, but he knows that Shi Changxuan knows feng shui. Uncle He Zun had an accident last time , Shi Changxuan showed his hand a little.

But it stands to reason that Shi Changxuan is just placing orders here, and according to the Taoists of the Supreme Harmony, he didn't pick up jobs casually. When Xie Lingya coaxed Shi Changxuan to come here, he said that he didn't want him to do anything.

At this moment, Xie Lingya looked at Shi Changxuan cheekily, and called him eagerly: "Daozhang Shi..."

Shi Changxuan: "..."

Shi Changxuan said to the humanity of Yishui Mining: "Do you have any photos?"

photo?They realized that it should be a photo of the building, and quickly took out a tablet computer and showed Shi Changxuan a small video, "This is here, Liuhe Mine. It doesn't feel right."

Xie Lingya asked: "What's wrong?"

When they came to see the appearance of the Taoist temple, they thought it was a little unreliable, but they came in and chatted with the believers here, and after hearing some deeds and seeing the mosquito-free scene, they changed their minds.At this moment, when Xie Lingya asked questions, he answered everything.

"Xiao Liu, you are all in the mine, so tell me." The leading man said to the 30-year-old man next to him.

This Mr. Liu nodded and said: "Before the building was completed, there was an accident in the mine. Fortunately, no one was killed that time. After the building was completed, a worker had an accident in the mine and died. Since his death, the mine Strange things often happen in the next day, and not long ago, there was a power outage in the mine, and there were people in the office...Damn it, they fell ill immediately.

"Before that, our mine had had zero casualties for six consecutive years! The chain of the coal transporter suddenly broke, and the worker fell to the coal point and died inexplicably while repairing it. Alas! It was so strange, and it was haunted afterwards, so I suspected it was the building. It was caused by changing Feng Shui, and I would like to ask if there is any way to remedy it. Then, I also set up a dojo to save the souls of the dead."

Mining has always been very dangerous. The workers have some safety problems, and the mines are dark and closed, which is why the mines are somewhat superstitious.

The Liuhe Mine has not had a safety accident for six consecutive years. It happened after the building was completed, and strange things happened in the mine, and now even the office is haunted.

Shi Changxuan also finished watching the video at this time, and said: "Only from the video, there is no problem. The new building is built on the central axis, and a square is built to store wind and gather energy. The old buildings on both sides are like hugs, which adds to the balance. Feeling. The mountain behind is like a tower, and there is no conflict with the building.”

"That's right, someone said before that our mine is very good." Mr. Liu nodded hurriedly, "But we only changed the building."

Shi Changxuan shook his head lightly, "I mean just from the video. Mining and excavating mountains, the layout of the building has not been photographed, not necessarily."

If there are obvious problems, he can see it from the video, but if there are problems with details or hidden places, he can only go to the scene to check.

The leading man said: "So I want to trouble the master to go to the Liuhe Mine to help solve this problem. We will reimburse you for the carriage and accommodation, and you will be paid 15 yuan afterwards."

Shi Changxuan looked not very interested, but Xie Lingya was interested in this amount, and he hesitated: "Do you have to do a three-day dojo?"

There are few people in their Taoist temple, and it takes three days to go out. Is it not convenient to let the laymen bear it all?

Mr. Liu said: "This... yes, it will take three days."

Xie Lingya looked at Shi Changxuan again, besides the time issue, Shi Changxuan had to come out for Feng Shui.

Shi Changxuan: "I only have two free days on weekends."

Xie Lingya was overjoyed, "That's enough. Dao Ting is in the temple, I will go with Daoist Shi."

Those three people came to invite Zhang Daoting, but they discussed internally to let Xie Lingya and Shi Changxuan go, so they agreed, anyway, Zhang Daoting called Xie Lingya senior brother, and Shi Changxuan showed his hand just now.

Mr. Liu asked again: "Can Daoist Shi's affairs be brought forward a little bit? It would be best if it can be on Friday."

Shi Changxuan said indifferently: "No, I have class on Friday."

Three people: "..."

Although they have convinced themselves in their hearts that being young does not mean that they are incapable, it is still a bit weird to hear Shi Changxuan talk about going to school. It turns out that Taoist priests also go to school...

……

After the people from Yishui Mining left, Xie Lingya thought for a while, and said to Shi Changxuan and Zhang Daoting: "Do you think it's weird, since they also pay attention to Fengshui, why didn't they ask someone to look at it when they built the building? "

Shi Changxuan was not surprised and said: "There is indeed something strange, there should be some scruples not to say."

Xie Lingya thought about it. After all, it is a company with many people, and it is the first time to cooperate with them. It is not necessary to explain everything in detail. "It makes sense. I just want to be a dojo anyway."

On the weekend, that Mr. Liu drove to pick up Xie Lingya and Shi Changxuan.

Xie Lingya brought the things needed to set up the altar, some big ones are not easy to bring, so they have already asked them to prepare in advance for the Liuhe Mine.

Liuhe Mine is about an hour and a half drive from the city of Yuyang. There are some family buildings on the outside. When you drive inwards, you can see the new building that Mr. Liu and the others mentioned. It is about ten floors high, together with the fountain square in front. All brand new.

Mr. Liu parked his car beside the square and led them into the building. Shi Changxuan said to look here first.

The office building is a slightly curved square shape. Shi Changxuan took a look around inside and didn't say anything. After reading it, he said, "Let's go to the mine to have a look."

He turned around and asked Xie Lingya for the date of birth of the deceased worker, because Mr. Liu had already sent the information and some basic information to Xie Lingya because he was going to be a dojo.

Xie Lingya took out his mobile phone and showed it to Shi Changxuan, who had memorized it all.

While leading the way, Mr. Liu couldn't wait to ask: "Is there any problem with the building?"

"Let's talk after reading." Shi Changxuan looked like he didn't intend to speak after reading the horoscope.

In fact, Xie Lingya was also very curious, but there were outsiders present, so he had no choice but to follow an inscrutable look and said, "Brother Liu, don't be impatient."

Mr. Liu said awkwardly, "I'm a little worried."

Mr. Liu took the two to the coal mine, and Shi Changxuan asked to go down to the mine, because Shi Changxuan had said about mining and digging mountains, and Mr. Liu didn't think too much about it, so he hired an old worker to lead the way.

The old worker's name was Zhou Mao, and he was a little impatient at first. He was taking a break now, and after listening to Mr. Liu whisper a few words, his attitude immediately improved, "Master, I will take you to change clothes."

Xie Lingya guessed in his heart that Mr. Liu told him that they were here to save lives and look at Feng Shui. This identity is really useful here. Many workers may not believe it, but they will be more in awe.

Mr. Liu's task is probably to accompany them all the way. Even though he was a little nervous, he still changed into waterproof clothes, overshoes and hard hats with them, and distributed a locator.

While getting dressed, Zhou Mao stared at Xie Lingya sorting out the talismans. He had drawn some talismans in advance for later use.

In general, mines ask ghost exorcists to buy talismans, and each piece costs hundreds or thousands.Recently, there have been strange things happening underground, and he is also a little nervous.

"One for each of you." Xie Lingya didn't think too much about it, anyway, Yishui Mining will pay you this time, so what's wrong with taking two talismans.

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Mao and Mr. Liu couldn't wait to take the talisman from his hand, as if grabbing it.

After the snatching, the two also smiled, and Zhou Mao said, "I'm sorry, I was considered courageous at first, but recently it's really... you know."

Mr. Liu told Xie Lingya roughly, but not in detail. We will go down later, Xie Lingya wanted to be prepared just in case, so he asked: "Master Zhou, can you tell me about the strange things that happened in the mine? Have you ever met one?"

Now that the sun is shining, Zhou Mao is an old worker again, and he said: "I really met it once, not only me, but several people in our team. I was guarding the shaft that day. Looking at the coal, I was alone, and suddenly I heard footsteps, I went out to look, but there was nothing."

Xie Lingya: "Footsteps, what kind of footsteps?"

Zhou Mao didn't expect him to ask such detailed questions, this master is very courageous: "It's the sound of overshoes, the place where I sit is only one square meter, there is a curtain blocking it, and there is a passage outside.

"I heard the sound of jingling and clanging coming from the passage, and there was an echo. At first, I didn't think much about it. Instead, I went outside to look, but there was no one. I came back to sit, and there were footsteps again. I looked twice. , I can’t see anything, I’m so scared that my heart almost pops out.”

Xie Lingya nodded, "Is there any more?"

Zhou Mao thought about it and said: "One time I was not there, and the top of our entire working surface was booming, like thunder. At that time, several workers in our team kept saying: Luo Xiaojun, we went to work together , You played well, don't mess with us! It took a while for the sound to disappear!"

Luo Xiaojun was the name of the worker who had the accident. When most people encounter ghosts suspected of being relatives, friends, or acquaintances, they would shout this a few times to tell them to stop making trouble.

Xie Lingya vaguely felt strange, exchanged a glance with Shi Changxuan, pressed down temporarily and said nothing, "Let's go, go to the mine."

……

Although it was broad daylight outside, the underground was pitch black, and because it was deep into the mountainside, the air circulation was not very good, it would be stuffy and humid, and the area that the miner's lamp could illuminate was limited.

As soon as Xie Lingya arrived in the mine, he thought, in such an environment, it is indeed easy to be afraid.

Zhou Mao said: "In our underground well, we especially pay attention to Fengshui. But it is not the Fengshui of your master, but ventilation and drainage."

Xie Lingya nodded. There are poisonous and harmful gases and dust in the mine. Ventilation is very important.

If you inhale poisonous gas, you will easily have hallucinations when you faint, so some of the superstitions and rules in this kind of place are actually just useful experiences summed up by everyone.

Zhou Mao repeatedly emphasized that you must listen to him. You must not take off the miner's lamp, safety helmet, and do not carry fire. It is very dangerous to go underground. All kinds of safety matters can be said to be the key to life, and there should be no chances.

Everyone remember that Zhou Mao has the final say in these aspects.

Shi Changxuan kept looking around with a miner's lamp, and Zhou Mao introduced to him what each place was for. When he arrived at a winding alleyway, Zhou Mao took a look inside and said, "This is where explosives are stored, do you still want to go in and have a look?" ?”

"Let's take a look." Shi Changxuan motioned to go inside.

Zhou Mao led the way, and explained casually: "It is necessary to make such a turn, and it is also for safety."

The curved alleyway was dark except for the place illuminated by the miner's lamp, damp and oppressive, and occasionally there were drops of water dripping on Xie Lingya's helmet, making a ticking sound.

Xie Lingya was walking behind, and suddenly felt the people in front stopped, "What's wrong?"

Zhou Mao's teeth clenched: "Why is there still a light in the front?"

Xie Lingya felt it was strange, so he poked his head around and saw that there was indeed a faint light on the wall in front of the curve, "Are you a colleague?"

"Who, who?" Zhou Mao plucked up the courage to take a few steps forward because there were many people around him, and asked again.

There was no answer in the empty alleyway.

And as soon as he walked forward, the light also moved forward, relying on the curve, as if avoiding him.

Mr. Liu suddenly cried a little: "No...then there is light but no shadow!"

Xie Lingya felt cold, and looked to the side, that's right, a few of them were lighting miner's lamps, there were lights and figures on the wall of the roadway, why wasn't there any in front?

For a while, the alleyway fell into a strange silence, only the sound of dripping water.

Tick, tick.

Zhou Mao stepped back and said in his mouth: "Xiaojun, my old Zhou has always been very good to you! Don't make trouble with me!"

Xie Lingya held the talisman and stopped Zhou Mao: "Don't go."

For such a big man like Zhou Mao, he was very imaginary at this time: "You guys talk to him, I will wait at the crossing."

Xie Lingya: "..."

No, no, Uncle Zhou must have never watched a horror movie, can you and the Taoist be separated?

Shi Changxuan pressed Xie Lingya's wrist, "Put it away."

Xie Lingya looked at him puzzled.

Shi Changxuan shook the miner's lamp twice, and said calmly, "That's the water that our lights reflected on the ground, and there's nothing in front of it."

The three of them took a closer look, and it was true!

Xie Lingya: "..."

Zhou Mao and Mr. Liu reacted the most, and couldn't help but blush, "I, I thought..."

Xie Lingya glanced at them very understandingly, not everyone can think calmly in this situation, just now he almost wanted to take over on the spot, "Hahaha, false alarm, let's go."

Shi Changxuan suddenly said: "Go directly to the place where Luo Xiaojun's accident occurred."

Both Zhou Mao and Mr. Liu froze for a moment, their heartbeats hadn't recovered yet, "Now, let's go now?"

Shi Changxuan nodded.

Mr. Liu had no choice but to say with a pale face: "Then, let's go...Master Zhou."

Thanks to the old worker Zhou Mao, he took the courage to lead them the way.When he was about to arrive, Zhou Mao introduced him cautiously.

The place where Luo Xiaojun died, that is, in front, is a coal drop point. Coal is transported from a chute to the coal drop point, and then tilted down from a bucket mouth. A coal drop point can store hundreds of tons of coal.

Shi Changxuan glanced at the coal transporter and asked, "Did he fall to his death?"

That's what Mr. Liu said before, but Zhou Mao was a little chilled when he heard it: "He fell there. There was a retaining wall at the mouth of the bucket, but he turned over for some reason! The coal behind is all gone. It hit him, and he was out of breath when I dug it out. I think he was buried to death!"

A large space that can hold hundreds of tons of coal fell down first, and then so much coal fell down continuously, pressing heavily on the body, layer upon layer.

No one spoke for a while, and Mr. Liu's breathing became even heavier.

It seems that everyone can't help but imagine what kind of despair that is.

After a while, Shi Changxuan's voice sounded, "Go forward."

pat, pat.

The sudden sound in the empty passage made everyone startled and looked sideways.

The sound came from the front, with a long echo, who is walking this way? Overshoes stepped on the ground, heavy, clatter, clatter...

But this is a straight passage, illuminated with a miner's lamp, there is nothing.Unlike the winding alleyway just now, the bottom can be seen at a glance, and even the black hole, the mouth that once swallowed people's lives, only the source of the sound cannot be seen.

Zhou Mao and Mr. Liu's expressions changed suddenly, their eyes widened, their pupils shrank, and the corners of their mouths tightened.

It's not a reflection this time, is it?

"Fuck!" The two yelled at the same time and ran outside.

"Huh?" They ran so fast that Xie Lingya didn't even realize it, "Don't run!"

Hey, what are you running, stay and watch me show off a wave of operations before leaving!

Those two people had talismans drawn by Xie Lingya on their bodies, and he felt that they could stay to witness his operations. He already had a few talismans in his hands.

At this time, Shi Changxuan stopped Xie Lingya again, he held Xie Lingya's wrist and said softly: "Don't move."

Xie Lingya looked at Shi Changxuan in puzzlement, and saw that he raised his hand and wiped his eyelids, his cold fingers dipped in some kind of liquid and slid across them, and when Xie Lingya opened his eyes to look again, there was an extra eye on the place illuminated by the miner's lamp. "people".

Looking at it from a distance, "he" has half of his body within the mouth of the bucket, his upper body is firmly stuck on the wall of the mouth of the bucket, and his feet in overshoes are pushed up and down, trying to climb up...

It was this movement that made the clacking sound like footsteps.

Xie Lingya took a step back subconsciously, but quickly looked at the ghost, and let out a "huh", "
