Letter from Ziteng Incense Candle Shop

The music stopped abruptly, and the noise flowed back like a tide, and finally returned to normal.Someone patted me on the shoulder, and when I looked up, I found that Fenglei Xun was holding an umbrella and looking at me in surprise.

"Little devil, what's the matter?"

The child suddenly came to his senses and shook off my hand, "Who are you? Where are you taking me?"

"I... I saw you running out by yourself, so I pulled you..."

"How could I? It was you who pulled me and made me drenched. I want to tell my mother!" The child was so cruel that he pushed me hard, causing me to almost fall.

At this time, someone called the child's name, and the child ran towards a charming car.His mother was dressed very stylishly, but looked quite fierce, and seemed to start admonishing the child, who pointed in my direction and said something, and then burst into tears.

The woman looked at me wrongly, she came over with an umbrella, and grabbed me.

"How dare you abduct my child? I want to call the police!"

"No! Obviously he ran out by himself. I was afraid that he would be caught in the rain, so I went to pull him." I explained hastily.But the latter refused to listen and insisted on calling the police.

"Ma'am, I can testify that it was your son who ran out by himself, causing my friend to get wet." Feng Leixun stood in front of me, his tall stature looked full of menace.

"It doesn't look like you are a good person. You two are in the same group. Didn't there be a case of missing children recently? You did it. Hey, there are human traffickers here, catch them quickly, and don't let them escape!"

That woman was really crazy, and she yelled nonsense there, which attracted a lot of people's attention.If you continue to make trouble, you will really be taken to the police station.I don't want to trouble my cousin and uncle.

Just as he didn't know what to do, suddenly there was another person standing beside him.Chen Xi smiled and shook the bell on his hand in front of the woman, "Auntie, my friend didn't mean anything malicious, so why did you go to war over it? It's better to calm things down and make things easier."

The woman closed her mouth and her face softened a little.He snorted coldly and said something like 'forget it today', then dragged the child's hand and left.

I was greatly relieved, and then thanked Chen Xi and Feng Lei Xun.

"Why are you all here? You're all wet, let's all get in the car." A car stopped beside him, and Su Jinyan's puzzled face was behind the rolled-down windows in the rear.

Chen Xi pulled me into the car and sat next to Su Jinyan. Feng Leixun hesitated for a moment, but under Chen Xi's urging, he opened the door and sat in the passenger seat.

My body was all wet, and the seat was covered with water. I said embarrassedly: "Sorry..."

"What happened just now?" Su Jinyan didn't care, took out a towel from the spare box in the car and handed it to Chen Xi and me.When he gave the towel to Feng Lei Xun, the latter refused.

"I don't need it. If it wasn't for this kid, I wouldn't be taking your car." Feng Lei Xun was indeed a Tsundere.

I roughly explained the situation just now, and Feng Leixun frowned, "This kid has been hit by a spell. Su Jinyan, help him take a look."

"You don't need to tell me that I will do this." Su Jinyan said as he took off his glasses, and I was sitting next to him, and he held out his hand to support my chin.

Su Jinyan was already very polite and upright, but wearing glasses gave him a bookish look.Now without the cover of glasses, I find that face is really beautiful, like a lady walking out of an ancient painting.Oval face, tall nose bridge, stretched willow eyebrows, slender eyeliner slightly upturned, and those eyes have narrow pupils embedded in brown and black pupils.

Watching him like that really made my heart beat faster.I backed away slightly, trying to distance myself from him.The latter reached out and pressed the back of my head, "Don't move."

He straightened his index finger and middle finger, took out a small bottle from his pocket, and tapped the liquid inside.Then put it on my lips and whispered a mantra, and put my finger on my forehead.A warm current flowed in from his forehead, and his brain felt clearer than before.

"He didn't hit the spell." After he finished speaking, he let me go, and Chen Xi asked me how I felt with concern.

"Then..." Feng Lei Xun's expression became even more serious, "Is it a Gu?"

"No." Su Jinyan put on his glasses, pushed the black frame, and asked me, "You said you heard the music and saw a bird with a black human face?"

I nodded, and Su Jin said, "The human-faced bird is a ghost car. There are many children here, so it's not surprising that it appears here. However, the sound of the music is a bit weird. I'll check it out when I get back."

"Anyway, it's fine." Chen Xi asked me to stretch out my hand, and then tied a red string around my wrist, "This is a talisman, don't take it off."

Su Jinyan also specially gave me his phone number, "You can call me when you encounter difficulties."

"This guy's consulting fee is very expensive." Feng Leixun said with a slightly joking tone.Su Jinyan immediately retorted, "Don't listen to him." The two hit it off again.

"It's so cunning, they're going to exchange phone numbers with Xiaoteng too." Chen Xi also leaned over and forced his own number into my phone, and also recorded Feng Leixun's number.

Looking at the extra numbers in the phone, I felt warm and unspeakably happy, but also a little worried.Hope it doesn't happen again.

The weather has not cleared up in the past two days, and the Observatory said it was a typhoon.But the Ghost Festival is approaching, so I have to open a shop.Holding an umbrella and turning into the alley, the sky is a bit dark, there are no lights in the alley, and the surrounding area is filled with fog, which makes people feel more secluded.

【I'm so thirsty... I'm so thirsty...】

There was a hoarse and tiny voice, mixed with pain and pleading.It has not yet reached the place where the old ghosts often gather, and there is not a single Apiao passing by.

The tiny voice came faintly, one after another, which made people's hair stand on end.I looked around and suddenly found a small head lying behind the stone steps next to me.

The child had no eyes, only two deep, dark sockets, and his whole face was frighteningly pale.He opened his mouth towards me, and dirty black water gushed from the corner of his mouth.

"Wow~~~" Although the female Ah Piao is the scariest, seeing such a child's spirit unexpectedly scared me a lot.

【……thirsty……】

The child stretched out his hand, as if trying to catch my trousers.The finger only exposed the bone from the rotting flesh, and the attached rotting flesh kept falling off as it moved.

"Don't come here!" I was so frightened that I quickly shrank my feet, regardless of whether I would get wet or not, and ran towards the store.

After a while, I saw the old ghosts squatting under the eaves playing cards, and there were many Apiao coming and going.I finally breathed a sigh of relief, greeted them, and then prepared to open the shop.

"Master Founder, I just saw you looking flustered, what happened?" The old ghost was sitting on the steps chatting with me while smelling the incense.

"I was startled by the child in the alley." The child died horribly, as if he had never seen it before.

"The new one? I'll tell the boys to chase him away."

"No need." He was quite pitiful, he should have died a miserable death.Such a small child, if he can burn something for him, let him report to the underworld as soon as possible.

I asked Lao Zhang, and he said that both A Piao and the monster should want to "purify".The world is full of all kinds of evil and filth, and the spirits wandering in the world will be more or less stained.These filthy qi will strengthen the resentment of the Apiaos, making it even more difficult for them to leave the world, and even turn them into ghosts.And for the spirit body who cultivates, purifying the qi in the body is a compulsory homework.Unless the spirit body is cultivating demons, that's another matter.

For this, Grandpa's notebook has a prescription.Soaked in water and taken with Jiujie Calamus, it can purify the dirt in the body.However, Chengxi Temple has been demolished, and now there are not so many Jiujie Changpu.

After much deliberation, let's go to the previous pottery shop to make a cup.Mix the dried iris flowers in the clay, as long as the cup is filled with water, the iris can be soaked.

The question is, can Ah Piao drink water?It doesn't matter, as long as it can be delivered.

For several days in a row, I saw the spirit of the child huddled in the corner of the alley, and would secretly look at me when I passed by.I didn't feel scared after watching too much, but felt that he was pitiful.

I once gave it a candle, but it didn't seem to like it.Always shouting 'so thirsty' or something, now it's raining a lot, how can I be thirsty?Unless it's a vampire.

A Piao and a vampire don't seem to be of the same kind.I have to ask Lao Zhang another day, and ask him to help take the child away by the way.

Soon it was the day of the Ghost Festival, and many things were burned for grandpa during the day.I reported to my cousin and uncle that I was going to participate in an event at night and couldn't sleep in the store.

"No! What if someone kidnaps you?" If my cousin didn't have to work the night shift that day, he would definitely want to follow.

"No! Are you a hen? Even if you are, I'm already an adult." Isn't it just playing all night?Anyone who is underage can do it, why can't I?

"hen?"

Cousin's glasses reflect light, looking scary.I couldn't help but take a few steps back, but he still caught me and carried out the ten torture methods of the Qing Dynasty. (tickling)

"Zirin, forget it. Your grandfather will go to the event every year. Since Xiaoteng inherited the shop, he has to go."

Uncle is more reasonable.I promised again and again that there would be no problem, and I also asked Shi Yu to call, and my cousin reluctantly agreed.

"You must be accompanied wherever you go, and you must never be alone. Do you know?" My cousin sternly warned, ringing his hands, "If you let me know that you are doing dangerous things again...huh..."

"understood……"

"louder please!"

"Got it! Hen!"

"You kid, you deserve a beating!"

My cousin is really amazing, he actually went to threaten Shiyu and asked him to take good care of me.He also said that if I go home tomorrow without a hair, he is the only one to ask.Cousin, how dare you, he is the father-in-law of the land.
