Touch a corpse to fall in love

Asked the chef in the canteen to cook a dinner for the two of them, and after the bus was full of wine and food, he patted his unobtrusive stomach and half leaned on the chair: "Cheng Zier, didn't that kid Wang Hong say that Uncle Wang hurt his leg?" Let’s go and see him, just bring him some supper.” Pointing to the untouched pig’s trotters and peanuts, “Bring two more bottles of wine, let’s chat with Master Wang.”

Cheng Xiao put down his chopsticks, nodded and said, "Okay." Although he didn't know the purpose of the bus, but the two days of getting along let Cheng Xiao understand that the bus at this time is not at all the ignorant rich second generation in the university, but A real man with his own mind and ideas.Since he spoke, there must be his intentions.

Carrying sauced pig's trotters and peanuts, plus two bottles of Erguotou, the two returned to the staff dormitory on the second floor.

After knocking on Master Wang's door, the bus and Cheng Xiao opened the door and walked in until there was a sound of "please come in" from inside.

Master Wang is a middle-aged widowed man in his 60s. He has been working in the Tiantangmen Funeral Home all these years. He can be said to be the oldest and most experienced employee in the Tiantangmen Funeral Home.Because everyone has been calling him Master Wang, he came and went, almost no one remembers his original name.

On the single bed in the dormitory, Master Wang half leaned on the head of the bed and looked at Daba and Cheng Xiao. His old face was full of grooves, his eyes were a little cloudy, and his complexion was not very good, with a hint of darkness.

Cheng Xiao called out: "Uncle Wang." Then he stretched out his arm to touch the bus.

The bus understood, and immediately approached the bed with shy smiles: "Uncle Wang, Cheng Zi'er and I heard that you accidentally hurt your leg last night, so we came here to see you." Although the three of them had only met each other once before, , but Daba and Cheng Xiao still have a good impression of this kind and capable old man.

Master Wang coughed and said in a hoarse voice: "It's just a small injury, and it's nothing serious. It's a pity that people are old and can't get up after a little touch. It's not like your young people who are healthy and recover quickly." Looking up at the bus and Cheng Xiao, Master Wang showed a slight smile, "It's hard for you not to dislike me as an old man, please sit down."

Cheng Xiao and the bus agreed, and first put the wine and vegetables they brought on Master Wang's bedside table, then pulled the two chairs by the window and sat down.

As soon as the bus sat down, he said, "How is Master Wang's leg? I know quite a few surgeons. If necessary, I can help."

Master Wang waved his hand: "It's better not to waste the doctor's time, it's just a trivial matter, just rest and recuperate for a few days." Looking at the dishes on the bedside table, Master Wang smiled and said, "I'm so old, I really eat it I can’t get these things, and I’m so hurt that I can’t drink.”

The bus also smiled and said: "Uncle Wang is growing stronger and stronger than me and Cheng Zier." After a pause, he said, "Alcohol can disinfect, so drinking less will not hinder anything."

Master Wang looked cheerful: "Young people can really talk." Master Wang moved his arms and put his hands outside the quilt as he spoke, "When I was as old as you, I didn't even You are afraid of walking at night, so how dare you come to work in a funeral parlor? If you are capable, you must be more capable."

"But Uncle Wang still came to the funeral parlor, didn't he?" The bus looked at Master Wang with a smile, his eyes were unclear, "It's not easy to work for so many years."

Daba and Cheng Xiao both noticed two black scars on the back of Master Wang's hand, which was very strange.Appears to be burns.

"Yeah, it's not easy." Master Wang sighed slightly.

Cheng Xiao interjected in a timely manner: "How did Master Wang come to the funeral home? Anyway, you have nothing to do, why don't you tell us. When I was in my hometown, I liked listening to old people telling stories."

"Story?" Master Wang's tone rose slightly, and he said slowly, "Old man, I never tell stories."

Cheng Xiao and the bus paused, and before they had time to react, Master Wang answered again: "What my old man said is true."

"I don't know what the real thing Master Wang is talking about?" The bus pretended to hesitate, and a pair of peach blossom eyes watched Master Wang smile with interest, which was very meaningful.

"It's the thing you are most curious about now." Master Wang lowered his head and coughed twice, his withered right hand and five fingers curled up tightly on his chest, as if he was a little uncomfortable, "Hey, when you are old, you have to speak big pant."

Cheng Xiao only thought that Master Wang was getting old, and few people talked to him on weekdays, so he deliberately said some interesting words at this time.

Daba felt that what Master Wang was going to say must be something very important, because he came here to get Master Wang's words, but before he got it, Master Wang said it himself.

"Old man, although I came to Heaven's Gate six years ago, in fact, I have known Curator Wang for many years. Over the years, I have been working hard to help him do things and help him hide some things." Master Wang paused at this point, as if hesitating, "If it wasn't for Xiao Wu and Xiao Li... I guess I wouldn't have realized how terrible this matter is."

When Cheng Xiao heard Master Wang's words, he was surprised at first, then immediately got up and went to the low table next to him and poured a glass of water to Master Wang: "Did the Xiao Wu and Xiao Li that Uncle Wang mentioned work here before?" Wu Xiaodong and Li Yu?" That's the two people who died in the news.

Master Wang took the water, looked at Cheng Xiao with cloudy eyes for a while, and suddenly grinned silently: "Yes, that's them." After finishing speaking, he lowered his head and took a sip of water, Master Wang said slowly, "What a wonderful two Baby, it's just gone."

Seeing that Cheng Xiao and Daba listened to his words carefully, Master Wang sighed lightly and said, "I don't want to hide it from you either." His dry fingers trembled slightly, and the water shadow in the water glass shook again and again. Once, Master Wang continued, "Actually, this funeral parlor used to be a large state-owned paper mill. The white birch forest in the back mountain used to be the dormitory for the employees of the paper mill. Then there was a fire here, and nothing was destroyed. There are more than 400 employees, and even the ashes cannot be found, let alone buried."

The bus was slightly surprised: "I have lived in City A since I was a child, but I have never heard of this incident." If it is true as Master Wang said, such a serious accident should cause a sensation in the entire City A, and even The country is right, there is no way he has not heard of it.

Master Wang grinned silently again, with a weird smile: "Do you know how bad the fire was? That scene was almost like the scene of a disaster movie. The raging fire swallowed up the entire factory almost instantly. , Those new papers that hadn’t been delivered in time, were all burned and scattered in the sky, like paper money burned to the dead, everywhere; the whole suburb heard the screams and cries of the paper mill workers, But none of them escaped... For a whole week, the burning smell wafted in the air of City A, and the fire couldn't be stopped at all. It was like a sky fire, falling from the sky and devouring everything , Burning all people and things to ashes."

The bus frowned, but Master Wang didn't get to the point.

Cheng Xiao also had the same question in his heart: "When did this incident happen?" If it wasn't too long, the bus should not be unaware.

Master Wang sighed and said, "It must have been 20 years... At that time, I just came to the city and didn't understand anything. I could only run around delivering food with a map every day, and the money I earned was only enough to eat. After a full meal... Later I met Curator Wang and helped him with some rough work."

The bus noticed that this was the second time Master Wang mentioned Wang Hong, so he raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Uncle Wang said that he helped Director Wang to hide something, what is it?"

Master Wang looked up at the bus and narrowed his eyes with a smile: "It's the haunted thing here."

"Haunted?!" Daba and Cheng Xiao were very surprised. Isn't this something everyone knows?

Master Wang smiled: "Yes, it is haunted. In fact, before Xiao Wu and Xiao Li's accident, no one knew that this place was a haunted house, and no one knew the secret here." Master Wang took another sip of water, and then moved slowly. He put the water glass on the bedside cabinet: "More than 20 people died in the fire 400 years ago. They didn't want to leave, they didn't want to reincarnate, they wandered here one by one and didn't want to leave. Passers-by and vehicles in the vicinity were uneasy, and there were often car accidents and accidents. In the end, the city government invited many high-level people to suppress it, but the effect was not very good. Until the curator Wang knew about it, he invited people over , This is considered to be suppressed. It's just that the good times don't last long. Those who died unjustly, the more they are suppressed, the more resentful they become. In the end, the resentment becomes more and more intense. If there are no magic tools with high spiritual energy to suppress them, they can only rely on Fengshui architecture Come suppress."

Cheng Xiao and Daba vaguely guessed what Master Wang was going to say next, but the two of them were in tacit understanding and didn't make a sound.

"Originally, curator Wang planned to build a school. The school is very popular. If you make some arrangements on Fengshui, this evil spirit will be solved. But the expert who helped to see Fengshui said that it cannot be built School, because the evil spirit here is outrageous, what if someone is accidentally injured? So he suggested building a funeral parlor." Master Wang paused, and said softly, "The funeral parlor integrates Yin Qi, evil spirit, and corpse Qi. Curator Wang was not happy at the time, thinking that the expert was playing tricks on him on purpose."

The bus touched his chin and thought for a while, then suddenly said: "I think that expert is very smart."

Master Wang looked up at the bus with a little interest: "You understand?"

The bus nodded: "I remember a folk saying that there are souls of people who are unwilling to die. They are very afraid of places like funeral parlors, crematoriums, or cemeteries, because those places will let him know that he is dead. .In other words, they don't like the place where the dead stay. Just like the living, when he is unwilling to admit a fact, they will deceive themselves and yearn for the past that they have lost or cannot get. So Those ghosts who died unexpectedly prefer the world of humans, not the world of the dead."

Master Wang looked at the bus for a long time, and finally nodded slowly with a hint of relief: "You are right, they don't want to believe the fact that they are dead, so they run around to scare people, or even harm people." , because they are not reconciled."

"So curator Wang followed the advice and built this funeral home?" Cheng Xiao had been listening to the conversation between the two in silence, but when he heard that Wang Hong built the funeral home out of kindness, he gradually felt strange. feel.

Master Wang nodded and said: "This funeral parlor has 6 floors in total, which symbolizes the six cycles of reincarnation. The lower two floors belong to the Underworld and the like. They are suppressed by the magic weapon given by the expert, and there is no way to turn the waves. One The building is very popular, and it is also covered by a magic talisman, so there is nothing wrong."

"What about the upper three floors?"

Master Wang looked at Cheng Xiao who opened his mouth, and showed a ravine smile: "The second floor is the Asura Way, which can be good or bad. Those with a pure heart will be more pure and good, and those with evil thoughts will be even more evil. It is a treasure land."

Cheng Xiao was surprised. It turned out that there was such a saying in the dormitory on the second floor.

"The third and fourth floors are for corpses and ghosts who don't want to leave this world but have good intentions. At the same time, Director Wang will also find special people to save them and fulfill their wishes until they are willing Only then will we cremate their bodies."

"That is to say, there are actually ghosts in the suite for the dead on the third and fourth floors?!" Cheng Xiao felt chills in his heart. He remembered that he had visited the third and fourth floors when he first came to the funeral parlor. Could it be that there were many invisible ghosts around him at that time?

The bus got up and walked behind Cheng Xiao, put his hand on his shoulder, smiled and said: "Since it is a ghost with kind thoughts, there is nothing to be afraid of."

"That's not true." Master Wang suddenly changed the subject and said again, "There was nothing to be afraid of before, but it's different now."

Cheng Xiao and Daba couldn't help but think of the sudden death of Wu Xiaodong and Li Yu, and couldn't help looking at Master Wang with doubts.

"Young people don't know that the sky is high and the earth is thick. There is a magic weapon in the underground morgue, and they don't know which of the two of them got greedy and took that magic weapon. Now at night, these evil spirits But it’s uneasy.”

Cheng Xiao's eyes widened: "The magic weapon was taken away?"

Master Wang nodded: "That magical weapon is an untouchable weapon for evil things, but for living people, it is just a small gadget. Living people can touch it and take it away at will. It is also considered by curator Wang. No, there is no strict order for the staff not to approach the altars on the two basement floors. Now that the prohibition and magic tools have been destroyed, all the things on the two floors below have come out, and the third and fourth floors will also be affected. When the time comes, the lonely souls Losing your mind is another big trouble."

"The altar?" Cheng Xiao thought about Master Wang's words for a while, and sighed inwardly: it's a great luck not to throw away such important things on the altar until now!

Master Wang continued: "When the corpse fraud happened that day, curator Wang guessed that those ghosts were causing trouble. So he asked me to contact the previous expert the next day. But unfortunately, that person seems to have other Important matters had to be dealt with, so they were not invited. This also indirectly led to the deaths of Xiao Wu and Xiao Li."

Cheng Xiao and Daba looked at each other, surprised that Master Wang directly blamed the death of Wu Xiaodong and that Li Yu on the ghosts of the funeral home.

The bus asked suspiciously: "Does the expert that Uncle Wang mentioned still have contact information?"

"Yes." Master Wang nodded and looked at his bedside table, "I don't know if you have heard of it, but it is a detective agency called Time Detective Agency. Every president has only a fixed name .For many years, the two presidents I have met are not the same person, but the name is the same, and the spells are equally powerful."

Cheng Xiao swallowed in surprise: "It turns out that Uncle Wang said he was a master..."

The bus chuckled: "What a coincidence, they all belong to this detective agency."

Master Wang looked up at the two of them: "What? You also asked them for help?"

Cheng Xiao smiled bitterly: "I looked for it, but I couldn't find it."

Master Wang chuckled: "The president can't be hired by anyone, especially in recent years."

The bus said: "According to Uncle Wang, it's just that it's more difficult to hire in these few years?"

"Not all of them. The previous two presidents were also very difficult to recruit, but neither is as difficult as it is now. Even Director Wang's face is given to him whenever he wants, and he doesn't give it if he doesn't want to; and it seems that he is always not in the detective agency. Nine times out of ten you can't reach anyone."

"So that's how it is." The bus answered, "I'm getting more and more interested in this president."

Cheng Xiao felt that these were not the main points: "Wu Xiaodong's death is really a ghost? But the time of his death is wrong." Cheng Xiao still had a lot of doubts in his heart, and he felt that Master Wang seemed to be hiding something, "If we can contact People from Time Detective Agency, let them investigate, maybe they will know whether Wu Xiaodong and that Li Yu died normally."

Master Wang nodded appreciatively: "I think so too, but the expert hasn't come back yet, and this matter has to be delayed." After looking at Cheng Xiao for a while, Master Wang suddenly pointed to his forehead and said , "What's the matter with the injury on your head?"

Cheng Xiao touched his forehead, a little embarrassed: "I accidentally bumped into it." After Cheng Xiao finished speaking, he raised his head and glanced at the bus standing beside him.

The bus just touched his nose in embarrassment and didn't answer.

Master Wang shook his head and said, "Is your injury caused by those things?"

Cheng Xiao looked surprised: "That's not it." The injury was caused by the public toilet in the hospital, and it was also caused by the bus. Cheng Xiao didn't understand how Master Wang got on those things?

"Don't look at the old man, I am old, but my eyes are clear. Your wound is still steaming black. It is obvious that something deliberately grabbed it out."

Cheng Xiao's whole body froze, his mind was full of thoughts, and he subconsciously wanted to veto Master Wang's words, but he couldn't find any reason or clue to overthrow Master Wang's guess.

Master Wang continued: "Are you surprised? I have been with Director Wang for so many years, and I have more or less experience in these things. There must be something around you. Even if that thing doesn't harm you now, it will sooner or later Hurt you, so if you have a chance, you should let him go, or find someone to take him in."

Cheng Xiao forced a smile and said, "Uncle Wang thinks too much. If he wants to talk about something, he took it out of the funeral home. Uncle Wang and the director of the curator are needed to help us a lot." If the fake Wang Hong before If you want to deal with that zombie, then the real Wang Hong and Master Wang may not be able to believe it, so it's better to be careful.

Master Wang waved his hand: "No, no, the things here are very fierce, but as long as you haven't gotten involved with them, they won't touch you. Xiao Wu and Xiao Li had accidents because they moved when they shouldn't. It is only things that lead to death."

The bus patted Cheng Xiao's shoulder lightly, then looked at Master Wang and said, "Then according to Uncle Wang, will something happen to the funeral home tonight?" Since someone died yesterday, it should not be peaceful today.

Master Wang coughed a few times and said, "As long as you don't leave the gate of the funeral home, nothing will happen."

Cheng Xiao didn't quite understand, if something happened to him, wouldn't it mean waiting for death if he didn't go out?

The bus chuckled, and patted Cheng Xiao on the shoulder again: "Since Uncle Wang said so, there should be nothing wrong. Let's go back first." After speaking, he winked at Cheng Xiao, not knowing What are you thinking about.

Cheng Xiao thought about it for a while, and then looked at Master Wang's disheveled face, feeling a little unbearable in his heart: "If Uncle Wang has anything to do, just press the communicator, and we will come to see you as quickly as possible."

A rippling flashed across Master Wang's turbid eyes, he nodded and said, "Okay, remember what I said, no matter what happens, don't leave the gate of this funeral parlor."

Cheng Xiao and the bus agreed, got up and went out.
