Chapter 529 Past Events in Xiangjiang (10)
Time flies, and in the eyes of Qian Xiaoyi and Lingkong Lao Dao, these words are genuine, and the surrounding scenes begin to fast forward again, only at a few key points The picture pauses for a moment.
In the next few days, the residents and companies upstairs and downstairs in Xingfu Building all knew that two new residents, two Taoist priests, had recently arrived on the haunted 18th floor. It's been a few days.
After hearing the knock on the door, many people saw two Taoist priests and a young man wearing sunglasses standing at the door. Just when they thought the two Taoist priests were here to ask for alms or something, the two Taoist priests came to see them. The Taoist priests gave them gifts in return.
"Hello, we are newly moved on the 18th floor." Taoist priest Jingde would smile and take out some amulets, imitation Five Emperors' coins and other worthless small gifts from his arms to give them to create a good atmosphere. first impression.
If these people are interested, they will chat with them for a few more words, and naturally they will know that they will live on the 18th floor for a long time.
"By the way." Taoist Jingde said seriously to those people: "In order to suppress the Feng Shui in that place, we invited a Guan Gong to come over on the 18th floor. If you are interested, you can go and burn incense sticks. , pay your respects, Guan Sheng Emperor will bless you with safety and prosperity."
Although these people were dubious and still did not dare to go up to the 18th floor, the news that there were two Taoist priests living there had spread. It's open.
"Have you heard? There are two Taoist priests living on the 18th floor."
"That's the haunted 18th floor? They are the only ones who dare to live in that place."
< br>
"Yeah, they gave me an amulet yesterday."
"Anything else to send? I wasn't at home yesterday."
"How about you go up and take a look? They It is said that a Guan Gong was invited there. I heard that he is a pretty spirit..."
The first people who couldn't help but come up to inquire about the news were the residents on the upper and lower floors of the 18th floor. Because they were close to the 18th floor, they were the last to Now that I know the authenticity of those rumors, I usually avoid them.
After hearing the news, these people couldn't help but be curious, and came over to check to see if, as the two Taoist priests said, the good brothers on the 18th floor had been taken care of.
As a result, as soon as they came to the corridor, they wondered if they had come to the wrong place. The place in front of them was completely different from the 18th floor in their impression. All the spells and Bagua mirrors that gave people a sense of fear had been removed and replaced with There is only one shrine hanging on the wall, and Mr. Guan is standing majestically in it. There is a lot of incense in front of him, and there are extra incense sticks and matches on the side for people to use.
Several residents who were just curious to take a look couldn't help but stepped forward after seeing the shrine, took three incense sticks and lit them, then prayed respectfully, and then inserted the incense into the incense burner. middle.
After they had done all this, they always felt that their surroundings were different, as if something was really blessing them.
At this time, they can always see one of the two Taoist priests standing in the corridor, nodding to them, proving to them that there are really Taoist priests living here.
Gradually, more and more people appeared on this floor to offer incense to Mr. Guan. Some even brought some tributes and gifts to the houses of the two Taoist priests. By the way, See if this room has really become normal. When the fat landlord came back, he found that the 18th floor had changed drastically. When he arrived, he saw two tenants he knew were offering incense to Guan Gong. The corridor was also full of people, which was very different from the cold feeling before.
"Wow, what they said is true, those two masters are experts..." The fat landlord also offered incense to Mr. Guan, and talked to the shrine for a long time, and then Knocked on the door of the innermost room.
The door was opened by Taoist priest Lingkong. When he saw the fat landlord, he invited him into the house and poured him a cup of tea.
Although the fat landlord was still a little uneasy, with the previous preparation, he finally dared to come in. He looked at the place up and down. Although it was still the same room as before, there were many dharma hangings on the wall. The air was filled with a faint scent of incense, which diluted the musty smell of death and made him feel at ease.
"The two masters are really amazing. I saw it right." The fat landlord gave a thumbs up, and then asked: "Where is there another master?"
"Senior brother Jingde and Afa went shopping outside." Taoist priest Lingkong said: "Many people have come here to ask for amulets in the past few days. We didn't bring enough with us, so we went to buy materials to make a new batch. "
"Okay, leave one for me when you're done." The fat landlord said quickly. He now knew that these two people were really capable.
Then he sighed: "Master, you don't know. Several people called me this morning and said they wanted to rent a house. I thought they were joking with me. Then I thought of it. You guys, so I came here to take a look... When I came back, I understood that the good brothers here were really invited away by you. No wonder those people are eager to rent a house. They are afraid that the house here will be robbed by others. "
Taoist Lingkong said with a smile: "After all, the room rent here is much lower than elsewhere."
"It's much lower!" The fat landlord said domineeringly. With a wave of his hand: "In the past, the price was low because of the good brothers! Now not only are the good brothers gone, but there are also two more brothers Guan and two masters. The second brother Guan and you are here to bless me. If the price is so low, it will not be the same." It’s reasonable! That kind of price is impossible! I’ll re-advertise it when I go back. Such a good house must be higher than anywhere else.”
Seeing this guy sit on the ground and raise the price, showing his true nature as a landlord, Taoist priest Lingkong smiled and reminded: "Boss, what you just said, the second master outside heard, he hates this kind of unethical behavior the most, no Good fortune comes quickly and dissipates quickly, why don't you think about it more?"
The fat landlord's face stiffened, and then he said with a dry smile: "Hahaha, I was just joking~ I'm just kidding. Raise the price a little, just a little... ”
After sending away the fat landlord, the scene started to fast forward again. In the past few days, people have been coming to view the house. After finding that the environment here was the same as the new rumors, and the price was still low, they moved in immediately. Several families visited, adding a lot of popularity to this floor and making it lively. It was no longer as cold as before. The sound of TV and laughter came from time to time in the corridor, and the atmosphere of life became richer.
“So that’s it.” Qian Xiaoyi stood in the corridor and said: “By covering the original cognition with new cognition, does it change the nature of urban legends?”
Lingkong Lao Dao nodded: "That's right, since we can't let those people not If you believe in these superstitions, then replace them with new superstitions. In other words, we enter the game with our bodies and become the eyes of this new Feng Shui pattern. As long as we are here, those cognitions will no longer gather, that's it. , we settled down in Xiangjiang.”
I wish everyone a healthy Dragon Boat Festival.
