Hit the yin and yang road

"This is a well-furnished apartment with standard two-bedroom and one-living room and three-bedroom and one living room suites. It is close to two subway lines and surrounded by business districts. The monthly rent is less than [-] yuan, which cannot be rented." The owner boasted triumphantly, "So most of the people who live in this bachelor apartment are senior white-collar workers and management-level talents."

Chen Yang turned around: "I remember that the salary of senior white-collar workers is between [-] and [-] yuan, and the monthly rent alone is [-] yuan. Isn't that all spent here?"

The owner was a little embarrassed: "Some people rent together. Isn't this a two-bedroom or a three-bedroom? The monthly rent is only four to five thousand. In the imperial capital, this rent is not bad."

Chen Yang smiled, and pressed the elevator: "The person attacked by the elevator ghost is also a high-level white-collar worker?"

"of course."

"She lives alone?"

"Occasionally." Chen Yang looked at the owner suspiciously, just at that moment the elevator came in front of him and the elevator door opened.Chen Yang pressed the elevator button and let the owner go in first.The owner looked at Chen Yang hesitantly, and said, "You go in first."

The owner suspected that Chen Yang was half-hearted, and worried that if he went in by himself and the elevator door closed, wouldn't he be trapped?So the owner asked Chen Yang to go in first, and Chen Yang had no choice but to go in and said, "Isn't there another elevator with the ghosts? Are you afraid of that?" The elevator with the ghosts has been sealed up for the time being. Not allowed to use by guests.

The owner said: "Just in case, what if it comes over and hurts me?"

"Don't do bad things, don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door."

The owner snorted disdainfully: "It's okay to use this sentence to deceive others, but it can't deceive me. Do bad people have to choose a partner if they want to harm others? Ghosts are made of people, and they can't choose a partner if they want to harm others."

Chen Yang: "You can see it clearly." He really did not expect that the seemingly mediocre owner could see it so clearly. He continued: "But those who harm others without any reason are all psychopathic perverts, but the real perverted ones People belong to the minority. More injuries have cause and effect, and so do ghosts. There is always a causal relationship, and of course it cannot be ruled out that there are still a few injuries that have no root cause."

After hearing what Chen Yang said, the owner had a much better impression of him.Before, because Chen Yang looked too young, he felt contemptuous.Now it seems that he is young and promising.He also heard that in the world of celestial masters, qualifications and age are not considered, but talent is valued.The owner eased his attitude, and no longer perfunctory like before, but told him everything he knew: "The monthly rent of this apartment is indeed high, and it is actually difficult for senior white-collar workers to afford it. So they usually rent together, or couples share the rent together. .There is another situation, which belongs to couples but it cannot be said to be true. For example, the white-collar resident who was attacked."

Chen Yang: "How to say?" The elevator door opened, and he let the owner go first, and then he stepped out of the elevator.Outside the elevator is a corridor on the eleventh floor, with five apartments on each floor.

Owner: "I have no money to buy a house and can't afford to rent it. The expenses are high, so someone found a lover. The white-collar resident who was attacked just found a lover, and the lover paid for her to rent a house for her. Occasionally come here for a few days."

Lover means mistress.

Chen Yang: "That's it."

While talking, a young mother passed by them, took out the room card from her bag and swiped the door.As soon as the door opened, a little girl rushed in from the room and shouted, "Mom."

The young mother smiled and picked her up. When she was about to close the door, she saw the owner, so she put down the little girl, and said hello and chatted with him.The owner bent down and chatted with the little girl. The little girl timidly hid behind the young mother and grabbed her skirt.

The little girl blinked, with a little doubt on her face.The young mother held the doorknob and said goodbye to them with a smile. Just as she was about to close the doorknob, she suddenly heard the little girl ask suspiciously: "Mom, who is the person who came in behind you?"

The door closed gently with a bang, blocking the inside and outside of the room.Chen Yang and the owner, who were about to leave, suddenly turned their heads, and the owner showed panic: "Did you hear what the little girl said?"

Chen Yang passed the owner and stepped forward to knock on the door.There was no movement inside the door, so he asked the owner, "Do you have a backup card or key?"

The owner shook his head in a panic: "It's all downstairs, I didn't bring it with me." Then he knocked on the door vigorously and shouted at the young mother and daughter, but there was no response.

Chen Yang dragged the owner behind him, took out the wire from his backpack and opened the door.Ever since Qiu Shengmin taught him how to open the door, he always carried the wire with him for emergencies.Before the owner recovered his senses, he found himself turning in a circle, and looked back at Chen Yang in surprise. How strong was he?

With a 'click', the door lock was opened.When Chen Yang held the doorknob and was about to open it, the young mother opened the door from the inside and asked them curiously, "What's wrong?"

Chen Yang looked at the young mother calmly, her expression was indifferent, with just the right amount of doubt and displeasure in her eyes.The owner stared up and down at the young mother and asked her, "Are you okay?"

"What can I do?" said the young mother.

"I heard your daughter say just now..." The owner hesitated for a while, then glanced at Chen Yang and changed his words: "Has your husband come back? I want to discuss the safety facilities of the apartment with him, and I need his reference."

"He didn't come back, he's on a business trip." The young mother calmed down and said, "If you need advice, you can ask me. But I'm a little tired now, and I have to help my daughter with homework later. So can we talk about it tomorrow?"

The little girl looked at them timidly from behind the young mother, with her hands twisted together and her shoulders shrunk.When meeting Chen Yang's gentle and calm eyes, when she mustered up the courage to say something, the young mother suddenly turned her head and said softly: "Wenwen, go back and do your homework."

The little girl bowed her head and went back to the house, while Chen Yang glanced at the dimly lit room and said, "Why don't you turn on the lights in the room?"

"I didn't have time." The young mother said tactfully, "Do you have anything else to do?"

Chen Yang shook his head: "It's okay." After speaking, he took a step back, and the young mother smiled at them and closed the door.

The owner tightened his face, and said to the closed door: "Everyone in the apartment knows that she was pregnant out of wedlock and has no husband." He frowned and said, "This mother and daughter are also pitiful, that young mother is By Xiaosan, the mother and daughter depend on each other for life, and some time ago, the little girl faced the scene of a car accident, and she was a little autistic in fright."

"Oh, that can only show that you haven't done enough homework." Chen Yang shook his head: "I'm too anxious, there should still be enough time to pretend to be myself. It's probably a new funeral, and I don't know the rules."

The owner was full of doubts: "Huh?"

Chen Yang took out Zhang Wulei's talisman from his backpack, knocked on the door three times and waited quietly.After a while, the young mother came to open the door. Under the light, she found that her face was pale, and there was a little anxiety in her eyes."What else is there?" she asked.

Chen Yang put his hand on the young mother's shoulder, and took her aside and walked in.While walking, he said, "It's none of your business." The room was turned on and the lights were brightly lit.

The young mother stepped forward anxiously and wanted to drive him out, but the owner stopped her, looked at the young mother carefully and said hesitantly, "You... are you okay?"

Young mother: "I'm fine."

The owner said: "The person who opened the door just now is not you." The young mother showed a shocked expression, and the owner continued: "I just asked the thing pretending to be you, about your husband. It said that your husband is on a business trip."

The young mother pursed her lips and was speechless. When she saw Chen Yang walking towards her daughter sitting at the table, she showed a flustered expression: "Don't mess around! Don't hurt my daughter!"

Sitting opposite the little girl, Chen Yang hid the five thunder talisman in his palm and said calmly to the little girl, "Even if you are looking for a substitute, you shouldn't find it on the child."

The little girl was humming and drawing while turning a blind eye to Chen Yang.Chen Yang was not annoyed, but took a look at the painting she drew. The lines were messy and the colors were dark, which made people feel uncomfortable.

Chen Yang: "You have no grievances and no enmity. If you want to find an innocent person to be your substitute, if you can succeed before ghost messengers and celestial masters find you, it is your good fortune. But you let me find out, but you still want to If you find a child as your substitute, I can't ignore it. You are an old ghost, and you want to steal the body of a child, so you are not afraid of being robbed and eaten by evil spirits."

The child's soul and body have not yet been fully integrated, and it is easy to run into evil spirits.However, preempting the body of a child is usually a rogue old ghost, greedy for a child's life span of several decades, but how can a child's body squeeze a rogue old ghost?The difference between an adult and a child can be distinguished even if there is a huge difference in appearance.

I'm afraid these rogue old ghosts will be torn into pieces by the evil spirits who heard the news before they can adapt to the child's physical body.

Hearing this, the little girl suddenly threw the crayon in her hand.The crayon made a crisp sound on the table, and stopped after spinning.Both the young mother and the owner were scared by the treacherous atmosphere, and Chen Yang remained calm from the beginning to the end.

The little girl said: "No injustice? How could there be no injustice? If it weren't for them, how could I die? It was this girl who was playing with the ball, and threw the ball to my head, causing me to turn around Sometimes I slipped and fell on the road. How could I be run over by a truck and die? She!!"

The little girl suddenly pointed at the young mother, which startled the young mother: "As a mother, she doesn't look at her child well but chats with others. If she looked at her child, she wouldn't let this girl be punished." Bullied by other boys. The group of boys tried to snatch her ball, and she threw it away in a rage. They picked it all up, but I was unlucky, right? I deserved to be hit by the ball, and the truck ran over my upper body and died miserably! I I will never let you go! I will never let you go, you are all at fault, and you are all the culprits who killed me!"

Chen Yang knocked on the table: "Don't get excited. Let me ask you first, what were you doing when the ball hit you?"

The little girl's face was gloomy and black: "You also want to help them, don't you? Smelly Taoist priest, you call yourself a celestial master in vain. Don't you know that the first seven days of the dead are the days of revenge?"

"I know. But you have to tell me, what were you doing when the ball hit you? You were probably playing with your phone."

The little girl looked ugly, but she didn't refute, obviously Chen Yang was right.Chen Yang said: "It is undeniable that your death has something to do with this child, but it is not her responsibility. She, her mother, the group of boys who bullied her, ran over your driver and focused on playing mobile phones without paying attention You in the road conditions are the cause of your death. Or, you can call it an accident. You want to blame them for your accidental death, but they don't need to pay for your death with their lives. "

"You speak for them?" The little girl stubbornly determined that Chen Yang was helping the mother and daughter: "If it wasn't for them, would this accident happen to me?"

The evil spirit blamed the mother and daughter, the group of boys, and the driver for its tragic death. If the young mother hadn't passed by the place of his death today, she could just follow up.The evil spirit may seek revenge on the group of boys and the driver first, but what he hates most is the little girl. He thinks that the ball hitting him and causing him to fall is the most fundamental reason.

Chen Yang: "Are you determined to take revenge?"

"If it were you, wouldn't you want to take revenge after dying so unjustly?" The little girl threw away the crayon and picked up the pencil, poking the tip of the pen at her eyes.The young mother screams and cries, the pencil stops, and the little girl giggles.The young mother apologized to him and begged him to let her daughter go, and she could find her if she wanted revenge.

"Of course I'll look for you. You're at fault, too, and you're damned—"

Chen Yang frowned: "I'm stubborn!" After saying that, he pointed the palm containing the five thunder talisman to the little girl, and slapped her sky cap with one palm, took out the evil spirit, hugged the little girl, and handed it to the little girl. young mother.Then he put the five thunder talisman into the body of the evil spirit, took off the red rope around his wrist, tied the evil spirit and stuffed it into the dice.

After tossing the dice twice, holding it in the palm of his hand, Chen Yang said: "I wanted to give you a chance, but who knows that you are so indiscriminate between right and wrong. But Nian you really died unjustly. Half a month later, the gate of hell will be opened and you will be sent to the Taoist Fa Conference Let you take refuge in the precepts, and reincarnate as soon as possible. In one year, on the day when the magistrate pardons your sins, the Taoist Church will hold a large-scale puja, and the Qijian Heavenly Medicine Department will specialize in healing you dead ghosts."

The so-called celestial medicine department refers to the celestial medicine of the Qing Dynasty, which specializes in treating dead ghosts.The dead ghost is greatly feared before death. If the three souls are not gathered and the seven souls cannot return, it is not easy to reincarnate.Over time, it is easy to have delusions and transform into evil spirits and ghosts stained with murder.Therefore, some large-scale Taoist ceremonies will initiate the establishment of the Department of Heavenly Medicine, and invite the Heavenly Medicine of the Qing Dynasty. "Ten Ways and Nine Doctors", practice medicine to cure diseases, save the world and save people, and save ghosts.

Chen Yang turned around and looked at the little girl who had just woken up. Seeing her holding the young mother's neck and opening her curious eyes, she didn't feel scared.When she saw Chen Yang looking at her, she showed a big smile and called out crisply: "Brother."

"Be good." Chen Yang took out the evil spirit talisman and the peace talisman and handed them to the young mother: "Take a small bottle and put it on for her, and it will be good if you wear it for a month or two. Children. Although it was an accident, you are also involved in his death, so when the gate of hell is wide open, you can fast for the evil spirit so that he can reincarnate as soon as possible."

The young mother took the two talismans and responded gratefully.

The whole process was that the little girl was playing with a ball in the sand alone, and her mother was chatting with others without noticing that a group of little boys were going to snatch the girl's ball.The girl threw the ball because it hit passers-by on the sidewalk across the green belt.The little girl is not very strong, and generally speaking, it will be fine if she hits someone. Unfortunately, the person was just immersed in the game, and when she was hit, she overreacted and her foot sprained, and her upper body fell to the road, just as a truck was speeding past.

The little girl ran out to see this terrifying scene, which made her introverted personality become autistic.

The evil spirit did die wronged, but there were many reasons for his death.It can't be blamed on one person alone, it can only be said to be an accident.

When the mother and daughter sent Chen Yang and the owner to the door, the young mother kept thanking her.The little girl left her mother's embrace, shyly hugged Chen Yang and said softly and softly, "Thank you brother."

Chen Yang smiled, and hugged the little girl back: "You're welcome." After saying that, he let go of the little girl.The young mother then took the little girl back to the house, thanked her again and closed the door.

The owner was quite surprised: "Is this good?" He circled Chen Yang twice: "There is no need to open the altar, and there is no mahogany sword or copper coin sword, which makes it easier to recite spells? This will drive out the possessed evil spirits. Still caught? What is this dice?"

Chen Yang walked forward and said as he walked: "Every celestial master has a different way of exorcising evil and catching ghosts. Dice are magic tools." He stopped: "Is this the room of the attacked guest?"

Owner: "Yes." He hurriedly took out his room card and swiped to open the door, and opened the door first to let Chen Yang in, his attitude became much more respectful.What Chen Yanglu did just now made him know that he underestimated others.

Chen Yang entered the white-collar woman's room, and they had already asked for her permission in advance when they came here.Chen Yang walked around the room and came out: "Okay, let's go."

"Ah? Oh, oh." The owner couldn't figure it out, so he had to close the door obediently.On the other side, Chen Yang asked, "Has this apartment been renovated?"

The owner replied: "No. The apartment was built two years ago, it is brand new, no need to renovate. What's wrong?"

Chen Yang smiled: "No. But I heard that a white-collar woman also fell off the elevator on the eleventh floor and died before. Is it true?"

"Really." The owner is not afraid that Chen Yang will know, after all, Chen Yang is a celestial master, so he must have done some research.In particular, he was not a resident here, so he said: "It's a very evil thing to say. It was late at night, and many people couldn't react to what was going on, and they died suddenly. Later, after checking the surveillance video, it was found that The deceased came back around one o'clock in the evening, and the elevator stopped on the eleventh floor. She walked out with her head down, and was outside the elevator door... at this distance, she could stand still."

The owner compared the distance, which is about 20 to 30 centimeters: "She doesn't just stand still, she can move her whole body, but she just can't move forward or turn around, it's weird. Then she raised her hand to pat—— It was as if there was a door ahead, and she slammed on the iron door and called for help. Slowly, she couldn't move and became very weak. At 01:30 in the morning, the elevator door opened suddenly, and the deceased was still alive at that time, but Unable to control my body, I fell backwards and fell directly into the elevator car on the fourth floor. I fell to pieces, and one leg was folded behind my back."

Looking around, the owner lowered his voice and said mysteriously: "I guess I'm bewitched. You see, it suddenly stopped there in the middle of the night for no reason. It moved around but didn't leave. Then the elevator suddenly opened the door, and the elevator car was still parked. On the fourth floor, why did the door open? Who opened it? It just so happened that the deceased fell down stiffly. Those policemen checked the monitors and knew that the case was weird. It could have been said that the elevator had malfunctioned, but the deceased’s previous How to explain the behavior? I can’t explain it, it’s definitely because I provoked something unclean outside, and if I get entangled, I will die.”

"I see." After Chen Yang finished speaking, he sent a message to Zhang Qiudao, asking him to go to the hospital at one o'clock in the evening and sending him the ward number.Put the phone back into the pocket, and said to the owner: "Since the accident happened after one o'clock, then go to the elevator at one o'clock to have a look."

Owner: "Huh? Go into the elevator? Which elevator?"

"The one that had the accident." Chen Yang suddenly remembered something: "Have you ever heard of the elevator accompanying the corpse?"

"Yes." The owner was still wondering whether he should follow into the elevator at night, and he replied absent-mindedly: "It's an old-fashioned apartment not far from this apartment. The facilities are not very good at present, but in the past It can be said to be very advanced and high-end. The apartment used a dedicated elevator directly to the apartment room. Later, a woman pressed the wrong floor for some reason and walked out. It happened that the owner of the house installed an elevator in front of the door. The anti-theft door was stuck between the elevator doors, leaving a gap of about 30 centimeters. It was difficult to even turn around, and the elevator door button could not be reached, and I was starving to death."

"Such a terrible incident occurred in the apartment, and many people began to think whether this special elevator had too many disadvantages. In addition, such a person died in the same elevator, and the death was so terrible, many people moved out, anyway No one who could afford that apartment was short of money. Then there was another accident, and a woman was trapped in the elevator for no reason and died in a miserable state. Two murders happened in the same elevator, and everyone moved out. The apartment was a ghost apartment, so there was a lot of trouble, and no one came to rent it. It was abandoned over time, but I heard that it will be demolished and rebuilt.”

The owner suddenly reacted, and was inexplicably horrified: "I said why the dead woman's behavior before death was so weird? She could move her hands and feet, but she couldn't move forward or backward, and it was difficult to even turn around. Isn't that the way the dead woman died with the elevator? It's because you provoke the corpse in the elevator that you will be bewitched."

Chen Yang: "Probably. Evil spirits use the method of death in life to kill people, which is called finding a substitute. People who are murdered will also become evil spirits and cannot be reincarnated unless they find a substitute or transcend it. Are you sure you will go into the elevator with me tonight to arrest Ghost, aren't you afraid of being used as a substitute?"

The owner hesitated: "Master, will you protect me?"

"meeting."

"Will you keep me safe?"

Chen Yang smiled gently: "Yes. But the price has to be increased."

Owner: "That's more, isn't exorcising evil spirits your job as a master?"

Chen Yang nodded: "It's my job. But if someone wants to watch a good show, I have to keep him safe. It takes a lot of my energy. So we need to increase the price. After all, we are a legitimate profession and a small business."

A two-star list has several million and is it still called a small business?The owner said that he also wanted to do these small businesses. "Okay, if you increase the price, you will increase the price. After all, the opportunity is rare."

Being able to observe evil spirits and ghosts at close range is also a big talking point, enough for him to brag about for two years.
