Demon Book and Strange Essay

Chapter 9: The Ghost in the Book

The news about the murder of evil spirits in the Japanese Concession spread for a long time, and only then did everyone belatedly realize that something extraordinary had appeared in Hang County.

There are evil spirits in broad daylight, and everyone is targeted by evil spirits, which is really scary.All of a sudden, there were many more people burning incense in Baopu Taoist Temple and Lingyin Temple.The police station couldn't find anything, so they also had the cheek to ask the old Taoist priest of Baopu Taoist Temple about this matter, but the old Taoist priest said that he could do nothing, so they sent them to Lingyin Temple to ask the crazy monk what countermeasures he had.

The policemen in plain clothes went to Lingyin Temple to look for the crazy monk, but the crazy monk avoided seeing them.As a last resort, they found Yanshi Zhenwo, hoping to get some clues.

In the courtyard of Lingyin Temple, under the bodhi tree, Yanshi Zhenwo, who was sitting on a stone bench, said to them: "These two cases were resolved by Shang Yin. He is investigating this matter so far. You don't have any clues either. I have to advise you to be careful."

Even Shang Yin and Yanshi Zhenwo don't know what these things are, they are really sad.

Shang Yin bought a gun in the Japanese Concession and carried it with him. At night, he wanted to show the restaurant owner about the child.Today, he was not in a hurry to go home.What is rare is that he took the fat chicken around the streets and alleys of Hang County.Except for what happened in the Japanese Concession in the morning, Hang County before nightfall was still the same as before.

In the evening, after Gao Fei sent Sun Suer away, he went to the west of Gongchen Bridge to find Li Miaoqing. Gao Fei's face was gloomy, and he slapped Li Miaoqing on the face: "Don't get close to Shang Yin!"

Only the person in front of him knows what he thinks about Shang Yin.He was afraid that the person in front of him would approach Shang Yin and tell him what was on his mind, which made him startled and terrified.

At that moment, Gao Fei felt murderous towards Li Miaoqing.

Li Miaoqing's face was swollen, and he sneered in his heart, but his face was terrified, and he prayed with tears: "Master Gao, I don't dare anymore! I don't dare again!"

Although they look very similar, seeing the cowardly and cowardly and fearful appearance of the person in front of him, I feel disgusted in my heart instantly.

Without looking at Li Miaoqing again, Gao Fei flung his sleeves and left.

Li Miaoqing looked at Gao Fei's leaving back and sneered.

In the evening, Shang Yin didn't wait for the owner of the restaurant to send someone to invite him, he first took the fat chicken to the owner's home.The restaurant owner hurriedly invited him into the house.

"Master Shang, please follow me."

When Shang Yin entered the door, he heard the cry of the baby. The child's voice was hoarse from crying, and the owner of the restaurant looked sad: "The doctor said it's okay, but how can the child bear it every night. Master Shang, let me see. Did the kid run into something dirty?"

"Okay." Shang Yin returned lightly.

The owner of the restaurant invited the merchant to the back house, and in front of the wing where the child slept, the child's mother also had a sad face.When the child's mother opened the door and entered, Shang Yin stopped him.

"I'll come." Shang Yin said.

"Please, Master Shang." So the proprietress of the restaurant and the proprietress of the restaurant waited behind Shang Yin.

There was a light in the side room with the door closed, and the cry of the child pierced through it, as if he had encountered something terrible, crying heart-piercingly.But he could feel nothing but the child's breath.

So there is only one child in this wing.

Shang Yin stepped forward and put his hand on the door of the wing room and gently pushed it open. After he entered, he closed the door.The restaurant owner and his wife really wanted to go in and have a look, but they could only wait.

After entering, Shang Yin walked to the bed, and the child beside the bed was crying miserably, as if he felt someone coming, and slowly, slowly, he stopped crying.

Outside, the restaurant owner heard the child's crying gradually stop, and the frown slowly relaxed.After a while, Shang Yin opened the window and said to the restaurant owner and his wife: "Later, no matter what you hear, you are not allowed to step into this room without my permission."

"Okay, okay!" The proprietress of the restaurant said hurriedly.It seems that the child is really entangled by something, and Shang Yin has a way to help the child.

After Shang Yin threw the fat chicken out, he closed the window again.

The two people and the chicken outside saw that the lights in the wing room went out, and the room became quiet for an instant.After a while, the child who finally stopped crying began to cry slowly again.The heart of the restaurant owner rose again.

In the wing room, Shang Yin lay quietly on the bed with his eyes open, beside him was a crying child.Shang Yin remained motionless, and even restrained his breath.If you don't see other people, you don't know that there is him besides the child in this room.

Shang Yin remained motionless, his eyes turned to look around the child.He only saw that as the child's cries became louder, Shang Yin finally saw what was at work——

Countless hands slowly gathered around the child, and these hands slowly penetrated into the child's body.

Silently.

It looked like a ghost, but it didn't smell like a ghost.This thing is the same as the bloody eyeless monster I want to catch and the evil spirit I saw during the day.

Shang Yin took out the gun he bought during the day, and with a "bang", Shang Yin who restrained his breath scattered those countless black hands with one shot.These black hands turned into black smoke and dispersed.

Outside the wing, the owner of the restaurant who heard gunshots almost rushed into the wing, but luckily he held back.After a while, Shang Yin came out from the wing room.He said to the restaurant owner: "Do you have red string bells and ancient coins in your house?"

"Have!"

"Bring it to me."

"Okay." So the owner of the restaurant went to get the bell.After a while, he brought the red rope and the bell to Shang Yin.Shang Yin tied the ancient bell coins with a red string, and hung the string of bells on the window, leaving the window slightly open.

The wind poured into the window, and the bell rang "Dingling! Dingling".

Shang Yin and the owner of the restaurant were waiting outside.

During the time for a cup of tea, the crying child slowly stopped crying.The bells ringing with the wind are extremely crisp on such a night.

After half a stick of incense, there was no more crying in the wing room.

"The child is disturbed by the nightmare, as long as the nightmare is frightened away, the child will be fine." Shang Yin said.In fact, it's not the case, I just don't want to explain too much.

The bell is just to attract the child's attention so that he won't be disturbed anymore.What's more, the ancient bell coins wrapped with red strings can calm the soul.

The owner of the restaurant was very excited: "Thank you, Master Shang! Thank you, Master Shang."

"Don't untie the bell for now," Shang Yin instructed.

The owner of the restaurant kept saying yes and then paid Shang Yin a large sum of money.Shang Yin asked him to spread the idea and left the restaurant owner's house.

Walking in the ancient alleys in the south of the Yangtze River, with the light of red lanterns shining on his face, Shang Yin seemed to be talking to himself: "It has a shape, but I don't know what it is. Where did this thing come from?"

This thing can kill people, appear suddenly, and disappear suddenly.Even real evil spirits and monsters can still grab their tails and follow their breath to their lairs.But this thing doesn't even have a breath, it will disappear without a trace.

Shang Yin thought about it all night and couldn't figure it out.

The next day, Master Shen Li came to look for Shang Yin. Shang Yin, who hadn't slept all night, opened the door and saw Master Shen Li with a bruised nose and a swollen face.

"Shang Yin." Master Shen Li grinned.

"What's the matter? If it's Bi Shu's case, I have no comment." Shang Yin remained expressionless.

Master Shen Li smiled helplessly in his heart: "I'm looking for you to listen to Mr. Jiang's storytelling."

"Storytelling?" This made him even less interested. The storyteller was either Love or Heroes' History.

"The books that Mr. Jiang talked about are interesting. The books he talked about are demon books, and he wrote this book himself." Afraid that Shang Yin would refuse, Shen Li hurriedly told Shang Yin the book he was going to listen to.After hearing this, Shang Yin was taken aback.He said: "Tomorrow you will come to me to listen to the book, and today I will go to Yanshi's true self."

Hearing that Shang Yin should come down, Master Shen Li happily said: "Good!"

At least not rejected.

Originally, Shang Yin didn't intend to find Yanshi Zhenwo, but the arrival of Shen Lishi made him change his mind.He first went to the dealer to find Yanshi Zhenwo, and the dealer told him that he was in Lingyin Temple.So he went to Lingyin Temple to find the true self of Yanshi.In the temple, Yanshi Zhenwo was playing Buddhist beads with the crazy monk.

The crazy monk saw him startled and quickly climbed up a tree to hide.

Shang Yin sneered.

He sat down on the stone bench and said to Yanshi Zhenwo: "Tomorrow, I ask you to do me a favor."

"Okay." Yanshi Zhenwo hurriedly agreed without asking why.It wasn't until Shang Yin explained his intentions that Yanshi Zhenwo knew that he needed to take the crazy monk with him for this task, otherwise he couldn't handle it.

Shang Yin talked about the baby last night.After hearing what he said, Yanshi Zhenwo had the same question as him - what exactly is this thing.

Neither a demon nor a demon.

Neither a ghost nor a monster.

It's amazing.

Suddenly formed and appeared, suddenly disappeared, without sound.It can appear no matter it is day or night, it can hurt people, and it disappears without a trace after being killed by them.

In the end, Yanshi Zhenwo gave this thing a name: Xugui.

A ghost that doesn't know where it came from.

After talking with Yanshi Zhenwo, when Shang Yin stood up and was about to leave, the mad monk on the tree threw a Buddhist bead at him.Shang Yin reached out to catch it without looking back, he tossed the Buddhist beads in his hand and left.

On the way out of Lingyin Temple, Fat Chicken quietly diverted to find the White Snake to eat.

This season, the white snake that has been sleeping for a whole winter has awakened.

Master Shen Li arrived as scheduled the next day.

This was the first time that Shang Yin went out with someone other than Bi Shu after his temperament changed drastically.Along the way, Master Shen Li took Shang Yin to have breakfast first.Shang Yin's cigarette stick was caught by Shen Lishi who suddenly grabbed his hand, and Shen Lishi let go of Shang Yin's hand in pain.

He smiled helplessly: "I know that there is a small shop with delicious food, I think you will like it."

Shang Yin took back the cigarette stick and didn't answer him. Master Shen Li looked at Shang Yin who was blowing out the cigarette, and couldn't help being fascinated.

Shang Yin is really difficult to get close to, but after a long time, you will find that this person is different from what others say about him.

Shang Yin promised himself to listen to Mr. Jiang's storytelling together, and Master Shen Li was very happy.First take him to a small shop for breakfast, and then take him to the teahouse to listen to the storyteller.

"Please come inside." The waiter at the teahouse recognized Master Shen Li, but he didn't expect this guest to know Shang Yin.It's really rare to see Shang Yin going out with people.

After Master Shen Li and Shang Yin sat down, the waiter served them tea and snacks and left.

Most of the people gathered in this teahouse are low-class people, so the teahouse is a bit lively.After a few cups of tea, Mr. Jiang finally arrived.Shang Yin was smoking a cigarette with great interest, and Mr. Jiang in the stands began to tell a story.

at this time.

Yanshi Zhenwo took the crazy monk along the streets of Hang County, and the crazy monk followed behind him nervously, as if he was afraid that he would be abducted.

He is just a 15-year-old blind boy, living in the world of mortals but has no sense of the world.As they were walking, suddenly there was a terrified scream in front of them: "Ghosts are killing people!"

In an instant, the crowd scattered and rushed over in a panic.

"Master, let's go and have a look." Yanshi Zhenwo said.The crazy monk stared at the people in front of him and followed Yanshi Zhenwo.

When they rushed to the front, the thing that Yanshi Zhenwo called "the virtual ghost" was hurting people. A Buddhist bead in the mad monk's hand popped out and shot through the "virtual ghost", and the "virtual ghost" turned into black mist Spread out and disappear.

The man who was almost killed by the "Xu Gui" peed his pants in fright, Yanshi Zhenwo stepped forward and said, "Are you all right?"

The man who came back to his senses after walking around the ghost gate grabbed Yanshi Zhenwo's hand: "There is a ghost! There is a ghost! Master Yanshi, save me!"

"It's all right." Yanshi Zhenwo comforted him.

The crazy monk came up and grabbed the real self of Yanshi: "Your disciple is all right!" The crazy monk looked anxiously at the real self of Yanshi.

"Master, don't worry, I'm fine."

After a while, people from the police station arrived.Before the captain of the police station took the man away, Yanshi Zhenwo asked the man what happened.

The man is a gambler, because of excessive gambling, he owes the casino more than 2 oceans.Men are as anxious as ants on a hot nest to pay off their gambling debts.When I went out today, I wanted to touch something but was stopped by someone.This man was very strange, and said that as long as he gambled with him, as long as he won, he would give him one hundred thousand oceans!

One hundred thousand oceans!

That's not a small amount.

But if he loses, he will take his life with him.After that, he took his name and life to live on his behalf.The man thought that if he could not repay the casino money, he would be forfeited, so he might as well gamble with the person in front of him.Anyway, there are only the two of them, if they really lose, they will renege on their debts!See how the other party can bear yourself.If he wins, he can not only pay off the money from the casino, but also win an extra 7 yuan.

So, he agreed to take a gamble with the person in front of him.

Yanshi Zhenwo asked, "What did you bet on?"

The man who was still in shock returned: "We bet on our birthday!"

Of course, the final result was that he lost. Just when he was about to renege, the person who gambled with him seemed to know that he wanted to run away.So the man turned into an evil spirit and took his life.

If it weren't for Yanshi Zhenwo and the crazy monk, he probably would have escaped death!

After asking clearly, the people from the police station took the man back.

"I confused my mind in the casino, and finally lost my life. In the future, the gambler will take the name and life of the gambler to live instead of the gambler."

After Mr. Jiang finished speaking, the people in the teahouse shouted: "Good! Good!"

The thing that can accompany a person for life is his name.Once the name is taken, his life is replaced by others.

Shang Yin listened carefully, Mr. Jiang's book is interesting, although the ending of the story is cruel, but the story itself warns the people in this teahouse that if they gamble, they will end up bad in the end.

Master Shen Li tilted his head to look at Shang Yin's side face, he wanted to ask him about the story, but he saw that the side face half covered by short shoulder-length hair was so pretty.

Master Shen Li's heart skipped a beat!

He likes men, and he also liked one when he was still in Nanjing. He thought they could stay together forever.Unexpectedly, something happened later, the person he liked got married, and in the end they never saw each other again.

So for so many years, he has never met another person who made his heart beat.

Looking at Shang Yin's side face, inexplicably, Shen Lishi's lonely heart moved for no reason.Sensing his gaze, Shang Yin turned his head: "What are you looking at?"

Master Shen Li hastily withdrew his gaze: "It's nothing."

Fat Chicken looked at Master Shen Li and narrowed his eyes.

Master Shen Li walked out of the teahouse with Shang Yin, and he said, "How about the book Mr. Jiang said?"

Shang Yin replied: "Very good."

"Then how about we listen again tomorrow?"

"it is good."

After walking for a while with Master Shen Li, Shang Yin said: "I still have something to do, let's go first."

"Okay, I'll see you tomorrow." Master Shen Li smiled and waved to Shang Yin.

Shang Yin took Fat Chicken to find Yanshi Zhenwo without looking back.

At this time, Yanshi Zhenwo was eating vegetarian steamed buns with the crazy monk. After Shang Yin arrived, the crazy monk turned his back in surprise and did not look at Shang Yin to eat the steamed stuffed bun.

After Shang Yin made meat buns served, he asked Yanshi Zhenwo: "Did something happen today?"

"Yes." So Yanshi Zhenwo told Shang Yin what happened today.

After listening to it, Shang Yin said: "Today I listened to the book in the teahouse, and it was about the gambler betting with the gambler, and finally his name and life were taken away."

If Master Shen Li hadn't asked him to listen to the book and told him the demon book he heard in the teahouse, he would never have thought of the plan to do an experiment with Yanshi Zhenwo today.

In the two books Master Shen Li listened to, the "virtual ghost" happened to appear on that day.Coincidentally, when he was listening, the evil ghost in the storyteller Mr. Jiang's demon book happened outside at the same time.That's why he asked Yanshi Zhenwo to see if the book Mr. Jiang said today would come true.

Yanshi Zhenwo picked up a plain bun: "Mr. Jiang's story has the power to make the evil spirits in the story come true?"

Shang Yin said: "I don't know, let's try again tomorrow."

"it is good."
