Artisans in Tunli

Chapter 45 The Trip to Dandong
Back in the dormitory, I started to pack up my luggage. This time I won’t stay at Zhao Bo’s house for a few days, so a few clothes are enough.Paper, pen, inkstone, mahogany sword, talisman, ink fountain, some gauze, Yunnan Baiyao, and ingots from Zhang Feng's store are indispensable.I can no longer wait for something strange to happen, and then complain about my lack of preparation.

"Nimma? Aren't you going?" Everyone was packing their luggage, and only Nima was flipping through the scriptures in his hands.

Sun Hao said on the side: "He won't go, I asked him several times, and he said he wants to work to make money." Sun Hao started to sigh after finishing speaking.

"Eh? Are you going on a trip or hunting ghosts? What are you doing with these things?" Zhou Peng asked me on the sidelines, and I said I was used to it, which is called preventing problems before they happen.

In the evening, everyone bought some cooked food, sauces, beer, etc. and planned to eat it on the road, but they killed more than half of it that night.

Nima is a disciple of Tantric Buddhism and can eat meat, but he cannot drink alcohol.Eating meat belongs to eating meat, and after eating, you still have to chant scriptures to get rid of evil obstacles.

He explained to us that when Gautama Buddha was still alive, he stipulated that monks must eat whatever food they received as alms; if they didn’t eat it, it would be considered a violation of the precepts.

I don't know much about Buddhism, so I didn't pay attention to it. It should be that we gave Nima alms.

In the middle of autumn, the water is clear and dust-free.

Before going out, Zhou Peng said that in order to save time, he can play more this time, it is best to take a bus.

I don't care, the bus is quite spacious, and there is no need to curl your legs.It's just that it's not very convenient to go to the toilet, and you have to go to the service area. There is a toilet, but the conductor insists that it is broken and won't let you use it.So, I can only control myself to drink less water.

Zhou Peng has been sleeping since getting in the car, while Sun Hao chatted enthusiastically with Jiang Chun.I, on the other hand, kept looking at the scenery flying backwards out of the car window, for fear that I would never see it again in the future.

Looking at the scenery, my heart is full of thoughts.Laughing bitterly at myself, this is the second time I have traveled in the past 20 years, and it is still in the name of watching Zhao Bo, so I am very happy.It really complies with the old saying that people are poor and short-sighted.

When I went out, I checked it out. Dandong is a prefecture-level city in LN Province. It is separated from Sinuiju City in North Korea by the Yalu River.

Not only is it a tourist destination, it is also the only city in Asia that has border ports, airports, high-speed rail, river ports, seaports and expressways.The most important thing is that there are hot springs. When I saw this, my mind was full of the scene of men and women bathing together in RB.

However, Dandong is most famous for its various supernatural legends.

The most famous is the "Guangji Tower Incident", which is also known as the "Locking Soul Tower" by the locals.

On September 1931, 9, the famous "September 18th Incident", the RB army occupied Shenyang, Liaoning and Dandong.After occupying Dandong, a theater was opened in a relatively prosperous section of Dandong, and it was crowded with people every day.

One day, an old man took his little grandson to the theater. The old man watched it with great interest, but after some time, the little grandson started to cry.It turned out that the old man was looking at him enthusiastically and ignored his grandson.

But if you ignore this child, he will keep crying, and the people around him will become a little impatient.There was no other way, so the old man left with his grandson.

When he came out, the old man complained about his grandson. Unexpectedly, his words made him tremble.

Sun Tzu said that when he was in the theater garden, he saw some people in white clothes tied up the singers and audience with ropes, and they were about to be tied up soon.That's why the little grandson made a fuss in fear and asked the old man to lead him out.

As a result, it didn't take long for the theater to catch fire, and the people inside ran out desperately, but they got stuck at the door and couldn't get out for no reason.None of the spectators and singers survived.

Later, after liberation, a tower was built on the ruins of the theater to calm the resentful souls of those who listened to and sang the opera.

There are many supernatural events such as Changdian Station, 917 bombing, etc., which made me feel very heavy when I went to Dandong this time, and I hope everything is well.

"what are you thinking?"

"Ah?" I was still immersed in my own world, and I was taken aback by Jiang Chun's call, "It's okay, I just wondered if there is anything delicious in Dandong, and I was a little dazed."

The car was not full, so Jiang Chun sat down next to me and told me that he was a little sleepy, so he would lend me his shoulder.After speaking, he leaned forward and didn't wait for me to refuse.

"Sister Chun, don't you have to go to work?" I asked her.

"All of you who go to school are on vacation. Why can't we have a vacation? Don't talk, I have to sleep well. I worked overtime last night until after twelve o'clock." After speaking, he fell asleep, and he seemed to be really sleepy.

"I'm going to the service area soon. You'll be sleeping later. I'm holding back my urine." I pushed her, but seeing that she didn't respond, I thought I'd talk about it later.

The bus drove very fast, and arrived at the passenger terminal at around six o'clock. Everyone found a small hotel around and got a room, and they were going to go down to eat.

"Thirteen, look at that!" Following the direction of Zhou Peng's finger, I saw a gossip mirror hanging on the door of the hotel. "Thirteen, isn't this place unclean?"

"It's okay, there is no place that is absolutely clean in the world, you can rest assured that I am here." After I finished speaking, I ignored him and walked towards the door while holding my sore shoulder .

Good guy, this Jiang Chun can sleep better than Zhou Peng, and it hurts my shoulder.When I go back later, it seems that I need to spray some Yunnan Baiyao.

The food near the station was expensive and unpalatable. I took a few mouthfuls of soup, put down my chopsticks, and watched the TV by the door.

"Recently, due to the impact of the typhoon, the city may experience heavy rainfall for several days. I hope that the citizens will be prepared for flood control."

It’s really a house leak and it’s raining all night. This time the trip is over. It would be nice to visit Zhao Bo’s parents.

"Ah? My Golden Week is in vain. I might as well be in Harbin." Jiang Chun pouted and muttered.

"Okay, there's nothing we can do about it. Let's go see Zhao Bo's parents and go back." I listened to everyone talking about the typhoon, and I felt an ominous premonition in my heart.

Although the typhoon does not go this way, the scope of its influence is very large.When we got out of the car, there were only a few scattered thin clouds in the sky, but when we finished eating, it was already covered with dark clouds.

"Thirteen, let's sleep in the same room at night." Jiang Chun put his arms around my arm from behind, and I didn't know what to say, that's fine, at least Jiang Chun doesn't snore.

As soon as I entered the room, I said to Jiang Chun: "You can sleep on the bed. Fortunately, this room has a floor. I can deal with him on the ground for the whole night."

"Don't make this useless, go to bed and sleep quickly, won't it be a waste if you don't sleep on such a big double bed?"

"Forget it, I'm afraid you'll moleste me." I hugged the pillow, protecting my key parts.

Seeing my appearance, she burst out laughing, and quickly said that I was thinking too much.She rushed over and pulled me onto the bed, and said that if the sleeping floor caught cold, she would not be able to bear the responsibility.

After being awkward for a long time, I still lay down on it. As soon as my head touched the pillow, my eyelids started to fight. I couldn't hear what Jiang Chun said, and fell asleep all of a sudden.

"Thirteen, Thirteen"

When Jiang Chun woke me up, I looked through the window and saw that it was still dark outside. I glanced at my phone, and it was almost three o'clock.

I said in a daze, "Well, I'm dreaming of marrying a wife."

"Don't sleep, there are strange noises in the corridor, I don't even dare to go to the toilet."

The main reason why this hotel is so cheap is that there is no toilet in the room. If you want to go to the toilet, you have to go to the public toilet in the corridor.

"What's the sound, why didn't I hear it." I really didn't want to get up, but she kept poking me, I don't know if it was by mistake or on purpose, she stabbed my little brother all at once.

"Hey, don't take advantage of the opportunity!"

I clutched my crotch, sat up reluctantly, looked at Jiang Chun beside me, and thought, she usually looks like a strong woman, why is she so uncharacteristic today?
According to what she said, she turned her ear to the door and listened, but she didn't hear any strange noises.Ask her quickly if she heard wrong.But it's already three o'clock in the morning, and I don't think she needs to make such silly jokes.

Simply sit cross-legged and meditate, close your eyes and raise your breath. After the warm current swims through your body, carefully perceive the plants and trees around you.

At this time, I felt an evil atmosphere in the dead silence.A strange sound came clearly to my ears, and someone was indeed talking.But after listening to it several times, I still couldn’t understand what was being said.

"Ya Butterfly."

When I heard this word, I realized that it was not Chinese.If Sun Hao and Zhou Peng hadn't watched those movies, I really wouldn't have heard what language it was.

I turned to Jiang Chun and said, "Someone seems to be talking about RB?" She also nodded beside her, expressing her agreement.

"Stay here and don't make a sound. I'll go out and have a look." Jiang Chun hurriedly stopped me and refused to let me go.

"It's okay, trust me."

I thought to myself, how could it be all right, a RB guy appeared in the middle of the night.I cheered myself up, rolled over and got out of bed when I was three years old, took out a few yellow talismans I prepared earlier from my small bag, and pulled out a mahogany sword from my suitcase.He pasted a vajra amulet on the door, and then tried to turn on the light.

After thinking about it, it's better not to turn on the light. If the thing is dirty, I might be scared away.So, I tiptoed and turned the doorknob.

This hotel, from the outside, should be quite old. Although the inside looks quite new, there is still a kind of antiquated atmosphere unique to old houses in the air.

"I am a disciple of the Celestial Master. If I pass by here, please forgive me if I disturb you." I said to myself, and moved lightly towards the toilet.

"What are you talking about?" Jiang Chun followed out at some point, and his sudden words startled me.

I straightened up and said to her, "Tsk, didn't I tell you to stay indoors and not come out!"

Speaking of women, no matter where they are, they like to make trouble.She pursed her lips and stopped talking. After a while, she seemed to think of something, and hurried over to me and said:
"When I opened the room, the hotel owner said that there would be strange noises in the hotel at night, so don't take it to heart. I didn't believe it at first, but I heard someone talking when I fell asleep."

I thought to myself, that being said, if there are really dirty things here, if you let them go and ignore them, it will inevitably bring bad luck to the living.

Ghost itself is a representative of words such as disaster, suffering, unknown, danger, and bad luck.No matter good or bad, they cannot live with living people for a long time.

But after walking for so long, I still haven't seen anything.Is it really as the boss said, humans and animals are harmless?
I turned around and said to Jiang Chun, "Take this talisman."

"Where did you get these things, and you still carry a mahogany sword with you." I thought for a while, it seemed that Jiang Chun didn't know that I was a Taoist priest, and he didn't have the heart to explain it to her.I made a gesture with her, which meant to tell her to stop, and I went to the toilet to find out.

In the entire corridor, I didn't see any lonely ghosts. If there were any, they must be hiding in this toilet.

Sure enough, as soon as I turned around and went inside, I saw a ghost in a student uniform floating at the door of the women's toilet.

After feeling her carefully, I don't have much resentment, but I don't understand why she appears here.He took a few steps forward, trying to see her face clearly.As soon as I walked in, I realized something was wrong.It's not that her resentment is small, but that a yellow talisman was pasted on the frame, which suppressed her resentment.

After examining this talisman, I feel that the person behind this talisman is not simple.The entire talisman glowed with a faint golden light.It should be written with cinnabar mixed with chicken blood, and the handwriting has faded a lot, so it must have been old.According to my analysis, it won't be long before its magic power will disappear.

There was still a short piece of rope tied to the door frame, and a faint black air was still exuding around the rope.This female ghost happened to be standing under the rope, and I thought to myself, this is still a hanged ghost.People who die suddenly will inevitably feel resentment.However, the senior of the book talisman did not subdue this ghost. There are several possibilities as follows:

First, he had a grudge against the store owner, probably because of the lack of money.But looking at the mana of the talisman, he should be a master, there is no need to be like this.

Second, he was delayed by other things at that time, maybe something happened in the middle of the process, which caused him not to finish casting the spell.

The third is that the senior was not as powerful as the female ghost, so he was killed, and this talisman was pasted before he died.

Either way, it's just my guess.If you really want to know the reason, you still have to ask the boss.

After a sweltering day, it finally started to rain outside, rumbling thunder, and an unpleasant smell came out from the toilet.

Judging from the current situation, this female ghost is not harmful. If there is anything wrong, let's talk about it tomorrow.In this weather, it is estimated that I will not be able to go out tomorrow.

"You go to the toilet first, I'll just stand here, it's okay." I called Jiang Chun in and stood guard at the door.But I didn't say that there was a female ghost at the door of the toilet, otherwise even if the female ghost didn't hurt me, she would have scolded me half to death.

Back in the room, I turned on the light.After such a toss, he became more energetic.After Jiang Chun finished his convenience, he lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

I sighed and said to myself, I will never get over these catastrophes in my life.He stretched out his hand to tie up his hair and turned on the TV to watch.Liu Laogen was playing inside, and while Uncle Benshan was cutting the gold thread on his body, I fell asleep unconsciously.

When I woke up, it was already past eight o'clock in the morning.The rain outside the window seemed to have no intention of stopping.Turning around, he glanced at Jiang Chun who was still soundly asleep, shook his head with a wry smile, got out of bed, and walked out of the room.

"Hello, I want to ask, when was the amulet pasted on the door of the women's toilet on the second floor?" I asked the boss who was still breathing.

He stared blankly and said: "I don't know either. My daughter-in-law found a Taoist priest who posted it for more than ten years. When she comes later, you can ask her. I've slept so hard all night. Ah." After finishing speaking, he stretched his waist and walked out from the counter.

I thought to myself, let’s wait a while, and I took a few steps back and sat on the sofa opposite the counter.After waiting like this for more than half an hour, a middle-aged woman with a slightly fat body rushed in from the outside. After entering, she began to complain about the terrible weather.That's right, this must be the proprietress.

The boss handed the mop in his hand to Boss Nian, and said, "Why are you here so late today?"

"You're blind, you don't know how much it's raining outside!" After speaking, he took off his raincoat and handed it to the boss.
