Chapter 32: Mi Po

When I heard the words 'Five Ghost Yin Array', my heart tightened.

The last time I went back from the Northeast, I asked the blind man what the Yin Array was and why it was able to create such a strange situation on the same train.

The blind man told me that the Yin Array is actually an 'artificial' situation.

It's just that ordinary feng shui bureaus use people, things, and magic tools in the yang world to lay out, while yin arrays use ghosts and things to set up arrays in the underworld, which can have a certain impact on the yang world.

The blind man's understanding of the Yin Array is not too deep, but we all know afterwards that the Yin Array on the green train was set up by the 'ghost policeman' Zhou Dalong, and his identity is - Yin Cha.

The seemingly ordinary street here, a small restaurant, has also been set up in a yin array... Who is this Xu Qiuping......

The blind man twisted his eyebrows and thought for a while, and said to Jing Hai: If it was the Five Ghost Yin Array, he should be able to see some signs, but at the moment, he couldn't see any signs of the Yin Array, and it felt like the momentum was changing at any time, so when he came during the day and evening, he couldn't see the way out of the door for the first time.

Jing Hai didn't scold him, but just asked: How many ghosts do you think the Five Ghost Yin Array is set up?

The blind man did not understand what he meant, and I could not figure it out.

Without waiting for the blind man to ask again, Jinghai had already walked into the street that the blind man and I had walked first during the dayβ€”the street behind the door.

Seeing Jinghai straight forward, my heart moved.

Granny Chu......

Could it be the one-eyed old lady?

Sure enough, the place where Jinghai stopped was the door of the paper-burning shop.

The surroundings were already remote, and it was late, so there was no one around.

The paper shop had also closed its doors, and there was no light visible from the outside.

Jing Hai looked at the door and frowned: "What the hell is this master doing?" How can you learn so much? ”

The blind man and I were at a loss.

Monk Jinghai said to me in a shrill voice, "What are you doing in a daze? Still not knocking? ”

I made eye contact with the blind man, took a deep breath, and went over to knock on the door.

As soon as he raised his hand, the old wooden door suddenly "creaked" and opened a crack from the inside.

A crumpled face leaned against the crack in the door, and one eye slowly turned to look at me, but did not make a sound.

Although I was not a little timid, I was still frightened by this sudden scene.

Behind the door was the one-eyed old lady during the day, and through the crack in the door, I saw that the room was shining with a red light like blood.

With this as the background, coupled with the scary appearance of the old lady, you have to be scared to pee if you are not scared to death.

Seeing that the old lady was glaring at me without saying a word, I was in a hurry and took out the list given by the restaurant proprietress and handed it over.

The old lady rolled her eyes and stared at the list for a while, then took it and looked at it carefully.

She was originally expressionless, but when she saw the words on the list, the corners of her mouth twitched obviously.

"Come in."

Listening to her speak, my heart trembled again.

Her voice was low and hoarse, and at first glance it sounded like that of a man.

I said in my heart, if you change this voice with Jinghai, the old monk is still a bit human.

Seeing that the old lady seemed to be the same as the restaurant proprietress and didn't seem to recognize me, I glanced back and pushed the door open and walked in.

As soon as I walked through the door, I felt a kind of indescribable depression.

There is no counter for more than ten square meters of paper-burning shops, and there are incense candles and paper-burning paper piled up everywhere.

The air is filled with the scent of sandalwood and the special smell of burnt paper...... There is also an indescribable strange smell mixed together, not to mention the pungent nose, the smell makes people feel confused and their faces swell.

There were no lights on in the shop, and I didn't see any light bulbs. The red light came from a red paper lantern on the roof.

When the blind man and Jinghai came in and closed the door, I found that there was a patched and patched broken quilt hanging behind the door, no wonder I couldn't see the light inside from the outside.

The one-eyed old lady didn't speak again except for the previous three words. Seeing that we closed the door, he didn't look at us much, turned around and walked tremblingly into the back room.

Jinghai tightened his brows as soon as he came in, and he didn't say a word, but his eyes moved quickly in his sockets, looking very weird.

At this point, there was no point in asking anything, so I simply followed the old lady straight inside.

The inner room is smaller, and the strange smell is heavier, and there is more of a body odor unique to the elderly than the outside.

There was no electric light inside, except for a window on the side, which was also hung with an old quilt, and a red lantern similar to that of the outhouse.

To my surprise, the two women who had been eating in the restaurant were sitting on two benches in the corner of the room.

Seeing us come in, both women were a little flustered.

The young woman was especially frightened, and presumably mistook the three of us men for good birds.

The old woman shivered next to her for a while, and finally couldn't help but carefully open her mouth to the one-eyed old lady.

But he said: "Chu Po, we came first, can you let them go out first, wait for us to ......"

Before she finished speaking, the one-eyed old lady had already walked to a black curtain, and slowly turned her face to look at her expressionlessly.

The old woman's body trembled obviously, lowered her head and shook it panickedly: "It's okay...... It's okay......"

The young woman seemed to want to say something to her, but she grabbed her hand and slammed it hard.

The one-eyed old lady sat down behind a dilapidated table of eight immortals in front of the curtain, and sat there expressionlessly, like an ugly statue, without saying a word, without moving.

Through the light of the lantern, I looked at everything in the room.

In addition to the four benches in the corner, there is only a table and a chair in front of the curtain, and there is a wooden shelf next to it with a black cloth covering the front face.

Everything was the same age as the one-eyed old lady, with a smell of decay.

"Did you feel anything?" The blind man whispered to me.

I shook my head.

To be honest, I didn't really notice it except for the foul smell and the irritating red light.

The environment, combined with the carved wooden one-eyed old lady, gave me the feeling that I was deeply deceitful, and that it was the worst.

looked at Jinghai again, but he was still frowning, looking like he was thinking about it.

As the minutes passed, the blind man finally couldn't help but gently carry me on his shoulder, and pouted at the one-eyed old lady, "You say, what's behind her curtain?"

I raised my hand and waved it at him, motioning for him not to ask.

I know how he feels right now, and we, along with the two women, have been in this environment for almost an hour.

The young woman wiped her tears several times, and I don't know how many times I had the idea of kicking the door and leaving, but because of Jinghai's previous words, I could only endure it.

"Brought?"

The one-eyed old lady spoke suddenly, and I stood shoulder to shoulder with the blind man, and our bodies trembled.

I turned to the sea of tranquility and "brought ......"

Shizukai jerked up at me and gave me an imperceptible look.

"Brought, bringed!"

The old woman stood up suddenly, and hurriedly pulled up the young woman: "Hurry! ”

The young woman wiped her eyes and hurriedly took out a cloth bag from her bosom, but she didn't know what to do.

"Take it! This is you looking for someone to ask about something, you have to take it! The old woman struck her shoulder.

The young woman's body shook, glanced at her, stepped forward tremblingly, and put the cloth bag on the table of the eight immortals.

"Open." The one-eyed old lady said slowly.

The young woman was trembling again, obviously not daring to look at her, and her hands trembled like chaff, and it took a cigarette to untie the cloth bag with a large handkerchief, and she was about to run back.

"Put it on!"

The one-eyed old lady raised her voice slightly: "What he usually does first, he will put it first, from left to right, and swing it a little easier." ”

I looked at the young woman, looked at the blind man, and bared my teeth at her.

I really feel a little sorry for this woman, looking at her condition, she is about to collapse.

The young woman trembled and took out the contents of the cloth bag and put them on one by one.

She put on something very ordinary.

A pack of cigarettes, a small bowl of raw white rice, another pack of cigarettes, and a disposable lighter...... At the end of the day was a small dress worn by a man, which was old.

The blind man and I looked at each other and looked at each other again, and at the same time we spoke to each other, saying two words.

The difference is that the blind man said: ask rice.

I'm talking about: Mi Po.

I am a person in the yin and yang industry, and the blind are almost the same, not to mention that I know a lot about this industry, but I still understand the general subdivision.

Asking rice is a kind of yin and yang behavior, and it is a spell that will cooperate with the souls of deceased relatives and friends and family members.

Through Mi Po, the ghosts of the underworld are summoned to the yang world, and the ghosts possess Mi Po and talk to the people in the yang world.

Because a bowl of white rice is placed next to it when the spirit is summoned, it is called asking rice.

The young woman's posing should be the things that the yin soul likes or is accustomed to applying during her lifetime.

And Granny Chu should be the Mi Po who summons the soul and asks the rice......

I subconsciously looked at Jinghai, and I couldn't understand why things had come to this point.

Gao Zhan said that Xu Qiuping is still alive, we are here to find Xu Qiuping, why did we find a mother-in-law who asked rice in the end?

Could it be that the fat man is mistaken, and Xu Qiuping here is dead?

Xu Qiuping really borrowed the corpse to resurrect the soul and became Dong Yaru...... No, it's half Dong Yaru......

No, with the development of the Internet, there are no longer many situations where the statistics of household registration and life and death in some relatively remote areas are not clear.

Gao Zhan could find this place with a name, how could he make such a low-level mistake?

I was in a mess, and the one-eyed old lady had already lifted the black cloth covering the shelf next to me, and quickly took out a fragrant ash and rusty incense burner from the shelf, as well as a small bowl of white rice.

Her movements were fast, but because I had been watching her movements, I saw that there seemed to be a spirit card on the top layer of the shelf before the black cloth was put down.

I can't read the name on the spirit tablet.

"Ready?"

I was awakened by the hoarse voice of the one-eyed old lady, and suddenly I saw her striking a match, lighting a piece of incense, and inserting it into the censer.

Immediately afterwards, she looked at the young woman in front of her with one eye, and took turns grabbing rice grains from the rice bowl she had taken out with both hands, and quickly scattered them on the table.

"Don't mess around!" Monk Jinghai suddenly screamed.

Both the young and the old women were startled by him, and looked at him at a loss.

The one-eyed granny... Granny Chu closed her one eye like an old nun, and still sprinkled white rice on the table.

The Blind Man: "Woe ......"

"Let's go!" Before he could finish speaking, I threw him out of the way, turned around and shouted at the two women, "Get out of here......"

Only halfway through the shouting, the voice was stuck in his throat.

The two women were obviously stunned, but I saw that behind Granny Chu, two white miserable human feet with black curtains slowly hung down from above......
