haunted pillow

Lan Yu said with a smile: "What do you think? People who practice Taoism don't eat the grains of the world? The profession of celestial masters is not for charity. In fact, it is no different from other professions. They also need to earn money to eat, especially my father... Is there no one?" If you don’t go out of the mountain, it’s the same as the saying about the yamen: the yamen’s mouth opens to the south, don’t come in if you have a reason and don’t have money.”

As a result, one day passed, and it was night in a blink of an eye. After reading the materials and ancient books for a day, several people were so hungry that their stomachs were growling. Lanyu definitely couldn't let the little girl pay for it, so he opened Meituan and ordered two black pepper beef. Liu Fan asked Cen Yu again, ordered him a shredded pork noodle with pickled vegetables, and waited for the delivery boy to deliver it to his door.

"Take a break first, eat something and watch."

The area where Ai Qiang lives is in the old city, and it’s hard to find it around the corner, so the food delivery was delayed for a while. When the food delivery arrived, Lan Yu brought out a meal. Knowing that Cen Yu doesn’t eat ginger, she used chopsticks first. Pick out the ginger one by one for him there.

Ai Qiang looked at it and felt that there was something wrong. She always felt that there was a weird atmosphere between these two people. She couldn't say exactly how, but although they didn't talk much, there was always a kind of People feel that they are an outsider, and they can't get into the habit of tacit understanding. Lan Yu saw her staring at him, and asked curiously: "What's wrong?"

Ai Qiang didn't have the nerve to say it, she felt a smile and shook it.

Cen Yu, who was sitting next to him, waved his hand: "Don't worry about me, eat it yourself."

Lan Yu scolded with a smile: "What kind of a good person are you? You only say it after you have picked it out." He had already helped Cen Yu pick out all the ginger with his hands and feet, pushed his pickled vegetable noodles back, picked up his beef tenderloin rice, and started Eat, and pick out the onion inside in distaste while eating.

Cen Yu pinched it back for him again: "Didn't tell you, you can't be picky eaters."

"It's a double standard!"

Gan Lanyu said it angrily, but Ai Qiang saw that he just said a word, but still put the onion back and ate it. She couldn't help laughing and said, "Why do you listen to Cen Yu so much?"

"Hey." Lan Yu held the lunch box and ate the rice deliciously: "Do I dare not listen? They are amazing.

Ai Qiang didn't understand what it meant, but she still felt a little hot on her face, which she quickly covered up.

She felt a little funny and a little shy in her heart. At Ai Qiang's age, many girls in her class were reading that kind of slapstick novels. Although she didn't usually read them, she knew a little bit by ear, and always felt that the two people in front of her were a little ambiguous.

Unavoidably, she was a little curious and a little sour, but she couldn't explain why.

They cleared the table after dinner at night, and continued to search for information. Lan Yu and Ai Qiang took a few books of Liaozhai and Baopuzi to read. It may be that the curse that existed in ancient times has evolved with the times and has come out in a new way, so these ancient books are still worth looking at. As a result, after searching for a long time without finding any useful clues, Lanyu threw the book away. Angrily said: "Pu Songling is really a person, why is he so boring, he writes everything in the book, you have a look at this."

I saw that the book was written in bold and regular script: "In June of the 26th year of Kangxi, in the garden of a villager in the west of Yixi, vines grew on cucumbers, and a watermelon was born, which was as big as a bowl."

The translation is very simple, that is, in June of the 26th year of Kangxi, another watermelon grew on the cucumber in the vegetable garden of this village household, which was the size of a bowl.

Lan Yu was about to catch them all: "There is a watermelon growing on someone's cucumber, and you have to write this stupid thing into the book. What's so special about it?"

Although Ai Qiang was worried about the mobile phone, she couldn't straighten up laughing because of his words. This is not unusual, if a watermelon grows on a cucumber, it would be very novel to her.

After a while, she got up to pour water, but Lan Yu couldn't find anyone to complain about, so she showed it to Cen Yu: "Look over here, look over here, there is an article "The Concubine", about a man I went to buy a concubine, and when I got home, I found out that the concubine I bought was a man. I didn’t know what to do. A friend came to visit. He told his friend about it. Unexpectedly, the friend was very happy and said In this case, you might as well give him up to me, so he made a favor and sold his little boy..."

Lan Yu just felt baffled: "It's just something as big as sesame seeds and mung beans. What's so special and worth writing about? It's really rare and strange, Cen Yu? You think it's... right..."

His tone gradually dropped, and he saw Cen Yu raising his eyebrows and looking at him with a half-smile.

Only then did he realize what he just said, his face turned red all of a sudden, and he quickly got up and walked to the kitchen: "I'll go see Ai Qiang and help her."

Several people read the book like this for a long time, Lan Yu finished reading Liaozhai, turned to another "Baopuzi", suddenly turned to a page, and said to them: "You guys read this."

Ai Qiang read: "Poor...ghost?"

Lan Yu nodded: "Well, it is recorded in ancient books that poor ghosts are a kind of evil that make people lose money, so at that time, many people would try to stay as far away from poor ghosts as possible."

Ai Qiang understood what he meant by the poor ghost, but she still didn't understand why he brought up this topic: "But, what does this have to do with us?"

"Didn't your mobile phone find you on its own initiative? The curse of this mobile phone is to lure you to use it. Once you can't help the temptation to use the money in WeChat, he will come to take your life. In other words, this is a A curse related to money and wealth." Lan Yu thought for a while, "When poor ghosts enter the door, it is often the God of Wealth who detours, so I was thinking, if we can attract poor ghosts, we can suppress this money curse , let it go around."

It sounds quite reasonable, Ai Qiang was thoughtful.

Lan Yu continued: "Of course, I can't say I'm completely sure, but at this time, as long as there is a way, we should try it. After all, haven't you encountered danger in school before? Although you escaped by chance this time , but it means that it has already been eyeing you, which means that we... have no time."

Cen Yu also nodded at the side: "I also think I can give it a try."

They hastily finalized their plan to attract poor ghosts. Speaking of which, over the past 5000 years, they have done a lot to drive out poor ghosts. It is the first time to invite poor ghosts—I’m afraid their actions can be said to be unprecedented Lan Yu thought about it, and handed over the work of drawing talismans to Cen Yu, because his Taoism is so advanced, I don’t know how much higher he is than him, Lan Yu will help by the side, and then take Ai Qiang out to buy some treats Something the poor need to use.

The talisman should be drawn with cinnabar, so when Cen Yu was writing the talisman, Lan Yu was beside him to help him add water, grind the ink, and mix the cinnabar. Cen Yu, who drew the talisman, was stunned and speechless.

"This this……"

Lan Yu: "What's wrong?"

Lan Yu thought she was looking at the red cinnabar, so she smiled: "This is not pure cinnabar, it is bright sand, which is more effective than ordinary cinnabar. I think this time the curse is dangerous. It’s always safer to be fully prepared.”

"I didn't mean that." Ai Qiang was dumbfounded, pointing to the little black cat: "It's this cat, this cat..."

I saw that this black cat would actually use cinnabar on its paws to draw on the talisman paper.

"The cats you raise can draw symbols? This is too powerful, too spiritual, right?"

"Yes." Lan Yu said with a smile: "It's very powerful."

In fact, he was also shocked when he saw it for the first time. This little thing once saw them writing talismans, and jumped on the table and walked over. Lanyu thought it was fun, and warned it not to come here casually, Zhu Sha But it is poisonous, even if it has nine lives, it has to be finished, but I didn't expect that this little thing actually had its paws stained with cinnabar, and the talismans it drew looked quite similar.

Lanyu was taken aback. It could not be that he learned this kind of thing by himself. This could only mean that its previous owner might also have a connection with Taoism. I don't know how to raise a black cat, not to mention that it has aura on it, so it's not an ordinary cat.

Lanyu once tempted it with dried fish, trying to talk to it, but failed, and he didn't even bother to talk to it.

Cen Yu was still preparing to draw talismans, so when Lan Yu helped grind the cinnabar and black ink, he took Ai Qiang out to go shopping, so that he could protect her by the way. Of course, he also brought Cen Yu with him. The talisman paper given by Yu.

Fortunately, there happened to be a paper money shop near Ai Qiang's house, so they bought everything at once and walked back along the path.

The night was dark, and it was rainy again, with no moon, and the alley was gloomy.

"It's quite remote here." Ai Qiang walked on the road, "It was said several years ago that the house would be demolished, but there has been no movement for so many years, but I grew up here since I was a child, so it might really be demolished Rather reluctant."

"Our family lives in the old house left by my grandparents. My grandma always said that she was reluctant to tear it down. However, she was inconvenient and hadn't got out of bed for decades, let alone go out to look around." She said Thinking of it here: "By the way, I still have to cook a few dishes, and I have to go to the hospital to deliver food to her at noon tomorrow."

"Is your grandma in the hospital?"

"Well, I've been in Chengnan Hospital for more than a week."

Chengnan Hospital... Lan Yu repeated the word, wondering if it was his illusion, had he heard this word somewhere.

"...Actually, thinking about it now, I am willing." Ai Qiang walked halfway, stopped suddenly, and said softly.

Lan Yu didn't understand, and asked in a daze, "What do you want?"

"Actually, after you told me about this curse, I kept thinking, if I knew from the beginning that this WeChat would bring me death, would I use it? From the very beginning, I knew that I would die if I used it, and I would use it too." Ai Qiang said in a low voice, "Of course I don't want to die, but I can't help it. My grandma is still in the hospital. The second time I have to have an operation. How can our family afford so much money? My sister is still in elementary school, and she said that the tuition fees for compulsory education are free. In fact, how can children save money for basic necessities, food, housing, transportation, and counseling materials? .”
