Touch a corpse to fall in love

Back in the dormitory, Cheng Xiao only felt that his mind was even more confused.

The experience of the past few days, from the zombie in the bronze coffin to the appearance of the fake Wang Hong, and now the ghost in the funeral home, Cheng Xiao only felt that things were infinitely more complicated than he imagined.

There are only more and more mysteries, but no clues to solve them.

He took out his phone and checked the time, it was already 20:56 in the evening.

The sky outside was dark and the wind was blowing. Cheng Xiao seemed to be able to hear the sound of the wind blowing outside the window. Coupled with the dark night, the quiet room and the funeral home, it seemed that tonight was more unusual.

"Bus, should we go to the first floor to be on duty?"

The bus lay down on the bed and rubbed his face: "Anyway, they are all in the funeral parlor, what's the difference in staying? You are a wounded person, so you don't need to go down; I am taking care of the wounded, so you don't need to go down."

Cheng Xiao glanced at the bus speechlessly, only thinking that he could hold back these nonsense in his heart and not speak out, so maybe his image could be bigger.

Cheng Xiao thought for a while, and always felt that the salary of [-] a month was waving to him, telling him not to be lazy and sabotage.

"I'll go downstairs to have a look. The equipment downstairs hasn't been checked yet." The power supply of the furnace and the remote control equipment need to be checked to avoid any accidents.

The bus sighed silently: "You are so conscientious, is your family artificial?"

Cheng Xiao looked back at the bus while going to get the keys: "My parents dared to let me outside alone because they knew I was in charge."

The bus burst out laughing, and he liked Cheng Xiao's serious expression in reply to his teasing words: "That's okay, Mr. Cheng, I will risk my life to accompany you today, Mr. Let me show you this funeral home full of ghosts."

Cheng Xiao said unmoved: "You have a good rest, I can go by myself."

"That can't be done, I'm a veritable flower protector, I can't let the little official take risks alone."

"Go, go, what kind of flower protector, I'm not a girl." Cheng Xiao walked to the door, and still didn't forget to turn around and tell, "I have the Jade Buddha to protect me, you don't have to worry about me, but you, it's best not to leave Room."

When the bus thought about it, it was right.

"Then you put on the Jade Buddha first."

After hearing this, Cheng Xiao had no choice but to take out the Jade Buddha and put it on before going out.

The ceiling lights and corridor lights on the first floor are on, and the whole hall is quiet and peaceful, without any gloomy smell at all.

Opening the door of the duty room, Cheng Xiao looked inside for a while, found the keys to other rooms, then looked at the video on the monitor, and walked out of the duty room after confirming that it was correct.

From the dining room to the cremation room, Cheng Xiao walked all the way. After checking all the electrical appliances, equipment, and door locks, he walked towards the duty room.

Passing the stairs leading to the first and second floors of the basement, Cheng Xiao hesitated for a while, thinking that he was protected by the Jade Buddha given by Ouyang Fulin, paused for a while, and walked downstairs.

There is a kind of person in this world, whenever there is some doubt in his heart, he is always desperate to find out.To put it bluntly, it is to have the courage to explore the truth; to put it bluntly, it is to find trouble for nothing, to find fault for oneself, and to have no idea what it means to turn a blind eye and close one eye, or what it means to be confused.

Cheng Xiao is such a person.

Although Cheng Xiao looks easy-going and gentle on the surface, in fact he has his own set of persistence in his heart, which is why Daba admires him more.It's not unprincipled blind tolerance, on the contrary, Cheng Xiao has a sense of persistence and resistance that ordinary people can't imagine for people and things he doesn't like.

Taking advantage of the fairly bright light, Cheng Xiao went down to the first floor step by step. Although he felt a little uneasy, he still wanted to see what was so special about the altar that Master Wang was talking about. Important instruments are placed on the altar.

There is only one corridor on the first floor, and walking down the corridor, there are rooms on both sides.Walking to the end and turning a corner, there is another corridor, which is only about four or five meters long, with no rooms, whitewashed walls on both sides, and an altar at the end.

The altar is a traditional altar, divided into three layers.The uppermost layer is at the same level as people, with a statue of Guan Gong holding a big knife and a fierce face on it; the lower layer is a large incense burner, two incense candles and some unburned sandalwood; On the second floor are some fruits, vases and some gold ingot offerings.

Cheng Xiao visited this place with the bus before. Although he only glanced at it roughly, he roughly remembered the furnishings here. At that time, he didn’t find anything special, and he didn’t know what the magic weapon that Master Wang was referring to; , He came down with a purpose this time, but he still didn't notice any changes or anything wrong.

Perhaps, that magic weapon is not very conspicuous?Cheng Xiao thought to himself.

Looking up at the portrait of Guan Gong carefully, Cheng Xiao frowned even deeper.

Guan Gong has always been revered as the "War God of Wealth" in modern times, but this Guan Gong on the altar has a big knife facing upwards①, with a fierce face, and the style of the knife is clearly the style of killing demons and demons, that is to say, Guan Gong here is not enshrined as the god of wealth and wealth, but as a god of evil and evil spirits.

Guan Gong is called Jialan Bodhisattva in Chinese Buddhism.Jialan is the Dharma protector who protects the monastery. The folks call it Jialan Zunwang and Jialan Qiansui.In Taoism, it is enshrined as "Guan Sheng Di Jun".These are gods like protectors, that is, fierce gods.

Just like Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin, their vicious appearance can drive back many evil spirits.

With such a fierce spirit sitting in the town, Cheng Xiao really can't imagine that there are still ghosts raging here...

Thinking of this, Cheng Xiao felt that Master Wang must have concealed something, and the matter about the magic weapon may not be exactly what Master Wang said.

Taking a step forward, Cheng Xiao bowed to the statue of Guan Gong, and then said softly, "General, don't be angry. I only offended the general out of helplessness. I hope the general will be calm." After Cheng Xiao finished speaking, he stepped forward again. He took a step, then tiptoed slightly, put his hand behind the statue of Guan Gong and groped for a while.

There is less than one hand of space behind the statue of Guan Gong. Cheng Xiao groped for a while, only to feel that there was nothing behind it, and it was not as hidden as he imagined.

Frowning and thinking for a while, Cheng Xiao withdrew his hand while looking at the incense burner on the second floor.

The censer was about one foot in diameter, much larger than ordinary household censers. Cheng Xiao thought about it for a while, then bowed to the statue of Guan Gong a few times, and then reached out and stirred the incense ash in the censer for a while.

The diameter of the incense burner was not small, but the height was not enough. Cheng Xiao's five fingers had already touched the bottom of the porcelain before they were completely submerged.

At first, Cheng Xiao didn't notice anything wrong, but after a while, he realized - such a big incense burner, it's impossible to insert five fingers into it, right?

Thinking of this, Cheng Xiao immediately withdrew his hand without hesitation, and then carried the incense burner off the altar with both hands, and put it directly on the dazzling white floor in the corridor.

Carefully pouring the incense ash inside to the ground, Cheng Xiao saw a shallow layer of incense ash on the bottom of the incense burner. There was nothing wrong with it at first glance, but upon closer inspection, there was a small circle of cracks at the bottom of the incense burner.

Because the cracks coincide with the shading of the bottom of the furnace, it is impossible to see them carefully.Cheng Xiao secretly thanked himself for being careful enough, otherwise this clue might have been missed by him.

Cheng Xiao stretched out his fingers and gently pressed the center of the crack, and then groped for the gap, but after tossing for a long time, there was no movement at the bottom.

Cheng Xiao frowned, and looked up and down, left, right, left, right, and right with the incense burner several times, but he couldn't find the key point.

Even so, Cheng Xiao was unwilling to believe that the crack was just a trace of an accidental fall.

After all, few people would use a flawed incense burner to worship the gods, not to mention that this is not a slum, as a state-level funeral parlor, can there be a good incense burner here?

While cursing, Cheng Xiao raised the ceramic incense burner to study its bottom.

Just as he was engrossed in watching, Cheng Xiao suddenly felt a cold current hit his body, and the familiar chill made him stiffen for a moment.

After silently reciting the Buddha's name in his heart, Cheng Xiao noticed a black figure watching him at the entrance of this corridor.

The ever-burning lights in the corridor have never been extinguished. In the brightly lit corridor, there is a dark shadow at the corner that the light cannot reach.Spooky and true.

The black figure was about the height of an adult, shrouded in darkness, as if wearing a huge black cloak.There was nothing on his face except for a pair of cold eyes.

Cheng Xiao's whole body was cold all of a sudden, and he felt that his breathing was a little unsteady.The air in the chest was sucked in several times by him, and it suddenly emptied, feeling like he was about to suffocate.

The black figure stared at Cheng Xiao for a while, seemed to let out a breath, and finally leaned towards Cheng Xiao who was on the side of the corridor little by little.

When Cheng Xiao saw the empty feet of the other party, his scalp exploded, his whole body trembled, and he immediately reached out to grab the Jade Buddha on his neck, and retreated to the bottom of the altar.

As soon as the black shadow saw Cheng Xiao's movements, he immediately stopped and froze in place.

Cheng Xiao thought that his Jade Buddha and Guan Gong had manifested their spirits, and immediately shouted profusely in sweat, "Don't come here! If you take another step, I will use this magic weapon to kill you immediately!"

The ghost continued to stare at Cheng Xiao, and finally nodded slowly, pointing at Cheng Xiao's head.

Cheng Xiao was stunned by the ghost shadow's movement, and he hesitated for a while before raising his head to look up.

Cheng Xiao was so frightened that he almost yelled out on the spot when he saw the ravine and weird smiling face above his head.

Subconsciously, he raised the censer in his hand to the top of his head to block the smirking face. Cheng Xiao didn't know where the courage came from, but he rushed towards the black ghost at the other end of the corridor without hesitation.

Strange to say, the moment Cheng Xiao rushed over, he only felt a flash in front of his eyes, and the ghost figure had disappeared; in the blink of an eye, he had rushed out of the corridor dedicated to the altar with the incense burner in his arms.

Because he was running too fast, Cheng Xiao couldn't stop for a while, and was about to hit the wall of another corridor, Cheng Xiao had no choice but to quickly block in front of him holding the incense burner.

With a sound of "Keng--", Cheng Xiao felt that the incense burner in his hand flicked, and when he looked down, the middle part unexpectedly popped out.Cheng Xiao was taken aback, and before he had time to see what was on the bottom of the furnace, he noticed a gust of cold wind blowing behind him.

Subconsciously holding the incense burner and squatting down, Cheng Xiao only heard a "clang" sound from his head, and slowly raised his head to see that there was a scorched black mark on the wall.

Cheng Xiao was so frightened that he immediately ran towards the stairs with the incense burner in his arms with a "wow".

Cheng Xiao hugged the incense burner in his arms and ran as hard as he could, while constantly cursing in his heart Master Wang whom he just met today.

The reason for scolding Master Wang is nothing else, but because the terrifying face that suddenly appeared above his head just now is the teacher of the funeral home, Uncle Wang!

Although Cheng Xiao was quite frightened, he understood the reason of everything in an instant.

Today, Master Wang deliberately told him and the bus about the suppression of Yin spirits with the funeral parlor's magic tools, not for anything else, just to lure them to this basement.

I also blame myself for being careless. Before the death of the fake Wang Hong, he said not to trust anyone. He broke into the first floor without thinking about the consequences, and he was still not accompanied by a bus.

Cheng Xiao ran to the entrance of the corridor with a "hush and wheeze", and subconsciously raised his feet to go up, but stopped in the moment he raised his head.

Master Wang still had the sly smile on his gully face. He stood quietly at the top of the stairs, looking at Cheng Xiao who was looking up at him from the bottom of the stairs with a relaxed expression.

Looking at each other, Cheng Xiao took a step back and said in a deep voice, "Who the hell are you? What is your purpose?"

Master Wang laughed, and the laughter echoed in the long corridor, and then aroused wave after wave of echoes: "Me? I'm just an old man who is about to die. As for the purpose, what is the purpose?"

Cheng Xiao looked at Master Wang suspiciously: "Stop talking nonsense! What you said before was all nonsense! I will never believe you again!"

Master Wang continued to look at Cheng Xiao cheerfully: "I'm not lying to you, there was indeed a fire here 20 years ago, and there is indeed a magic weapon to suppress evil things in the funeral parlor." Pointing to Cheng Xiao The incense burner in Xiao's hand, Master Wang narrowed his eyes with a smile, "It's in the incense burner in your hand."

Cheng Xiao was stunned for a moment, his brain exploded, and he immediately cursed: "Fuck! You use me!"

Master Wang's words are very simple and easy to understand.

If Cheng Xiao's mistake this time was premeditated by Master Wang, then combined with what he said just now, it is not difficult to understand that he is using Cheng Xiao, who has a pure yin character, to move the magic weapon and break the seal.

Although I don't understand why Master Wang must do it himself, it is obvious now that Cheng Xiao has made a big mistake and released an unknown number of ghosts and resentful spirits.

Cheng Xiao swallowed a mouthful of saliva, tried to suppress the fear in his heart and said: "Why did you do this? What good will it do you to release those ghosts?" At this moment, he only felt that Master Wang standing on the stairs was far more powerful than those Yin Ling is terrifying, because of those things, they never plan to calculate him like this.

The so-called human heart is more terrifying than ghosts and gods, Cheng Xiao has a deep understanding for the first time.

Master Wang looked at Cheng Xiao for a while, then slowly raised his hand and said, "Although it's a pity to kill you like this, there is no other way..." After Master Wang finished speaking, there was an extra purple in his hand for some reason. black black ball.

Seeing that the black ball was shot towards him in the next moment, Cheng Xiao immediately rushed to the side.

Although he escaped the fatal blow, his right arm was not spared.Cheng Xiao only felt the burning pain in the place touched by the black ball, but it spread to the whole arm in the blink of an eye. The feeling like being burned by a raging fire was really unbearable.

Knowing that the next black ball was coming, Cheng Xiao gritted his teeth and rolled over twice on the ground, then got up and ran without stopping.

After running two steps, Cheng Xiao saw the black figure at the end of the corridor at a glance, which was the one he had seen before.

The black shadow appeared from the end of the corridor not far in front of Cheng Xiao in an instant, and then flashed again, and when it reappeared, it was behind Cheng Xiao.

Cheng Xiao was still at a loss, when he heard Master Wang's roar coming from behind him, followed by an exasperated voice: "You beast! You are against me!"

Cheng Xiao turned around in surprise, only to see that the black shadow had rubbed his body and jumped onto Master Wang's body. The two shadows were superimposed together, and it was impossible to tell who was stronger, but Master Wang obviously couldn't send out any more. The black ball attacked Cheng Xiao.

Cheng Xiao saw that ghost looked back at him in the middle of the scuffle, and the eager look in his eyes was very clear.

Cheng Xiao understood it all at once, immediately turned around, picked up the incense burner and ran towards the stairs.

Master Wang wanted to break free several times, but was hugged by the ghost fiercely. In a fit of anger, he got a Buddhist bead out of nowhere, and directly covered his head towards the ghost.

At this time, Cheng Xiao was less than two steps away from the place where the two were wrestling. Seeing Master Wang's movements at a glance, he didn't know where the courage came from. He immediately turned around and ran over, raised the incense burner in his hand and threw it at the back of Master Wang's head. .

Cheng Xiao originally acted subconsciously, wanting to save the ghost who helped him, but it was a ruthless attack, so Master Wang was almost unprepared, and was smashed right at once.

What Cheng Xiao didn't expect was that no matter how strong he was, he would at most knock Master Wang unconscious or bleed.But Master Wang's head rolled off his neck with a "click" and rolled to his feet.

Cheng Xiao was so frightened by the weird scene in front of him that he forgot to react, but the black ghost retreated far away with a "woo".

Cheng Xiao was startled by the ghost's voice, raised his eyes to look at the ghost, and after confirming that the other party was afraid of the Jade Buddha on his body, he was relieved and at the same time terrified and unbelievable.

At this time, Master Wang's headless body had shriveled quickly, but in a short time, his whole body turned into a dry corpse, leaving only the gray and white work clothes loosely on his body.

Look at the head under his feet again, that head was looking at him fiercely with its eyes wide open before, but now there are only empty eye holes, nostrils and mouth.

Cheng Xiao took two steps back, and subconsciously looked at the ghost far away from him.

Cheng Xiao didn't understand why the other party helped him, and didn't know his identity. Seeing his terrified appearance, Cheng Xiao decided to ignore the wound on his right arm that made him tremble with pain, but decided to stay and ask. he.

"Cheng Zier! Cheng Zier! Come out!"

Just as Cheng Xiao was about to speak, there was the sound of a bus shouting from the stairs.

Cheng Xiao was startled, thinking that something happened to the bus, he had no time to say anything, and immediately ran upstairs with the incense burner in his hand.
