Chapter 523 Past Events in Xiangjiang (4)
“I don’t know.” Taoist priest Jingde shook his head and said, “We have just arrived... Anyway, let your lady rest first, she probably hasn’t slept with one for a long time. Have a good sleep. When she wakes up, we will ask her about her condition."
Taoist priest Lingkong took out an incense stick from his bag, asked the wealthy businessman for an incense burner, and put it in the room. inside and then lit.
"Requiem incense." Taoist priest Lingkong said: "It can help your daughter sleep more peacefully."
As expected, after lighting the incense in the room, the girl was frightened in her sleep His expression actually became softer, and he slept extremely soundly.
They exited the room. Seeing that their methods were so effective, the wealthy businessman had already regarded them as saviors. Since he had to guard the room, the wealthy businessman quickly sent people to the restaurant and ordered a lot of delicious food to come to his home to treat them to a meal.
“Tsk, tsk, tsk, swallow’s wings, abalone tripe, lobster and sea cucumber~” Qian Xiaoyi looked at the delicious dishes on the table and said jokingly: “You guys are treated really well. I want to eat them after seeing them.”
Ling Kong Laodao smiled and said: "Aren't you afraid of being dragged into the hospital?"
Qian Xiaoyi's face darkened, he snapped his fingers, the sun and the moon rotated, skipping the scene of the two Taoist priests having a meal, and the girl woke up at night come over.
"Hey, you..." Old Taoist Lingkong put down his chopsticks and said regretfully: "Hey~ you said you can't eat it, just let me eat some, I just picked it up~"
"Eat what you want~" Qian Xiaoyi got angry in embarrassment: "Do you look like an outsider?"
Lingkong Taoist curled his lips: "You damn outsider, how can you be so good at ordinary times?" Food.”
The door was opened, and the wealthy businessman’s daughter came out. The wealthy businessman quickly went up to greet her.
The wealthy businessman’s daughter is called An Qi. Because she cannot speak Mandarin, the two Taoist priests had to ask the wealthy businessman to act as an interpreter after asking questions. During the questions and answers, they gradually understood the context of the whole matter. .
Speaking of the cause of this incident, we have to mention a famous urban legend in Xiangjiang at that time.
This legend first became popular in the 1980s. The legendary location happened at Yau Ma Tei Station in Hong Kong. One day, just like every other day, many people were waiting for the arrival of the tram. Just when the tram was about to arrive at the station, Many people saw a young woman suddenly jump off the railway track, and then she was run over by the tram, and screams were heard.
It is said that the tram driver also saw someone jumping off the track in front of him and braked quickly, but it was too late.
So someone called the police, but when the relevant rescue personnel arrived at the platform to search, they did not see any traces and suspected that a false alarm had been reported.
Here lies the problem. It is said that many people saw the woman jumping off the rails at that time. Even the train driver said that he saw it. The driver had no history of mental illness in the past, which is enough to explain what he was doing. The words are true.
This incident was widely reported by newspapers and media, and various speculations were put forward, such as the theory of female ghosts, the theory of different spaces, the theory of collective hallucinations, etc. However, since no bodies or traces could be found, In the end, we had no choice but to let it go.
"So what's the truth about this matter?" Qian Xiaoyi asked.
Lingkong Lao Dao yawned: "Who knows about such a long time ago~ The most likely thing at present is that this is just a simple rumor. In the end, even those present believed it themselves, and then through modern The spread of the media further spreads awareness...but the focus is not on this legend, but on the impact this legend has had since."
An Qi continued to talk about her experiences.
It turns out that based on that urban legend, a new legend gradually emerged. It was still the same platform. It was said that a woman came to this platform to take the train home after going to the hospital for a physical examination. Just when the train was about to arrive at the station, she suddenly spotted a familiar figure, and it was actually herself!
Before she could react, her other self suddenly showed a strange expression, then jumped off the track and was run over by the train!
Seeing such a strange scene, the woman was so frightened that she quickly escaped from the station and took a taxi home. As a result, within two days, she was found dead unexpectedly. She was in her own home due to some sudden illness. It turned out that the scene she saw that day was actually her own death notice!
This is another urban legend [Double Body] derived from the legend of [Yau Ma Tei female ghost jumping off the rails].
"There are more logical loopholes in this legend, and it is more ridiculous." Lingkong Lao Dao said: "But urban legends, you know, they are just such stories with no beginning and no end, but young people like them "
Qian Xiaoyi said: "So when she was preparing to take the train at that platform, she saw her other self jumping off the track, so she was so frightened that she didn't dare to go out after returning home. Lock yourself in a room and slowly go crazy?”
"That's right." Master Lingkong nodded while stroking his gray beard, and then asked: "What do you think?"
"Obviously someone used the influence of this legend to exert awareness on An Qi It's pollution." Qian Xiaoyi said: "It's a curse. Judging from the technique and her condition, it should belong to the descending lineage of Southeast Asia."
"No. Wrong." Taoist priest Lingkong agreed with him: "We thought so at the time."
After Taoist priest Lingkong and Taoist Jingde discussed for a while, Taoist priest Jingde said to the wealthy businessman: "We have already solved the problem. I figured it out. Someone has indeed put a curse on my wife. The method is very clever, but we can solve it.”
The wealthy businessman is naturally very happy.
Taoist priest Jingde changed his tone and said: "It is easy to untie the head-down, but the current situation is a bit complicated. We need to go to that area to check and find out the source of the head-down. Otherwise, if that person still wants to harm others, I'm afraid My daughter will be tricked again.”
Qian Xiaoyi on the side heard this and asked. Said: "What's so clever about this kind of head-lowering technique that uses modern urban legends? It may be a bit difficult to eradicate for the classical school, but it couldn't be easier for us cognitive schools. It doesn't take a minute to make a filthy ritual or perform a ritual. Just remove it~ Just give me an amulet and you'll be fine. Why do you need so much trouble? Do you want to act chivalrously and punish evildoers?"
Lingkong Lao Dao blinked: "I have this idea, but it is not the main thing. Don't forget what we do?"
On the other side, the wealthy businessman was worried when he heard this. He quickly asked: "What do the two masters need? Although You can tell me anything I can do!"
Taoist Jingde waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's not a big deal, it's just that we are new to this treasure land and are not familiar with everything here, and even communication is difficult. So I want to ask the boss to find us a local guide who can speak Mandarin. ”
The wealthy businessman was relieved when he heard this. What else did he think it was?
Taoist priest Jingde emphasized: “It doesn’t mean we can just find anyone. It must be a local who knows all kinds of cat and rat ways, is familiar with the local forces, and has some connections, so that we can have unimpeded access here. "
The wealthy businessman patted his chest and said, "I have some connections around here, so I'll take care of this!"
Then the next day, the wealthy businessman introduced Dai. The young man in sunglasses gave it to them.
“This is Ah Fa.” The wealthy businessman said: “I introduced him to him through an acquaintance. His father also immigrated from the mainland. Although Ah Fa grew up in Xiangjiang, he speaks very good Mandarin. Okay.”
