"Why don't you let me think about it if I can't eat it?" I deliberately looked at Sister Shaoyao with a squinting look.
“You shouldn’t think about it, don’t think about it.” Sister Shaoyao pretended to be arrogant, glared at me, and said: “Otherwise, be careful and you will be unable to eat and walk around.”
“You can still walk around even if you can’t eat? This is so surprising.” As I said this, I continued to look at Sister Shaoyao’s body with my eyes.
"I won't argue with you today. If you dare to talk to me like this next time, I will definitely make you peel off your skin!" Sister Shaoyao threw such harsh words at me, and then walked away Walking slowly out of the store.
I don’t know if it’s because a ghost came last night and there is residual ghost energy in the store. It was broad daylight and I felt chilly in the store.
"Brother Chu Yi!"
In the evening, Yi Ba came back. Didn't this guy say he was going to prepare something? Why was he empty-handed when he came back?
“Where are the things you prepared?” I asked Yi Ba with some confusion.
"In my heart." Yi Ba patted his chest and said.
"What is in your heart?" I asked.
"Although we are taking advantage of the situation, we can't do nothing!" Yi Ba took the words and said with a smile: "Tonight, we have to do something quietly."
Yi Ba went upstairs and took out a piece of yellow paper from his green cloth pocket. I recognize this yellow paper, it is used to draw talismans. But that guy Yi Ba didn't draw directly on it, but tore it up with his hands.
After struggling for a long time, Yi Ba tore the yellow paper into a crooked little paper man.
"What are you doing?" I asked.
“It’s haunted, can’t our Yiba Pavilion family cause trouble? Sanji Pawn’s place must also cause trouble!” Yi Ba took the words with a smile and said: “I’ll use this little paper man to make a scene. The lonely ghosts who come to our store, bring some to Sister Shaoyao.”
For the little paper man thing, just tearing out a shape is obviously not enough. Yi Ba placed the torn paper figure on the table, then picked up a brush, dipped some cinnabar in it, and started drawing on the paper figure.
I can’t recognize what he drew, but I recognize the three words written on the back of the paper figure - Greed, Ju, and Wu.
Aren’t these three words the origin of Sanji, one greed, two giants, and three martial arts?
"Have you also seen the origin of Sanji's pawn?" I had never told Yi Ba about this, so I asked him a little surprised.
"I am more familiar with Liu Ren than you, you can tell it, can't I tell it?" Yi Ba gave me a blank look, as if I was making such a fuss.
"It's done." After finishing the last stroke, Yi Ba handed the little paper man to me and said, "Take this thing and get a little bit of the smell of the talisman."
"Why?" I looked at Yi Ba confused and asked.
“It’s enough to have in-depth contact with that talisman for an hour.” Yi Ba said.
"Do I have to use glue to stick it with the charm?" I asked.
“No need.” Yi Ba took the words and said, “You just need to put it in front of the talisman, and it will stick to it by itself.”
"Is it so magical?"
With a look of disbelief, I went downstairs with the small paper figurine and placed it in front of the talisman. Unexpectedly, as soon as he got close to the talisman, the little paper man jumped up and stuck to the talisman.
That guy Yi Ba really didn’t lie to me. This little paper man is really so magical.
"It's nothing, let's go out for dinner! Let the little paper man and the talisman stay quietly for a while." Yi Ba said with a smile.
We had to let the little paper man and the symbol stay quietly for at least an hour, and one hour was two hours, so Yiba and I drove the broken bread to the city center.
There are a lot of delicious food in the city center, unlike near Guquan Old Street where you can’t find a single good restaurant.
After dinner, we strolled around the pedestrian street, and then drove the broken bread back to Guquan Old Street.
"Almost." As soon as he entered the gate of Yiba Pavilion, Yi Ba ran to take a look at the little paper man.
The little paper man is made of yellow paper, so it is naturally yellow, but now, it has become a bit dark.
"Why is it so different?" I asked.
"If it doesn't change, then you are blind." Yi Ba replied to me, and then asked me to close the door.
"Why are you closing the door?" I asked curiously.
"The little paper man himself will not go to Sanji to pawn. I have to do a small ritual. When closing the door, be sure to leave a small gap." Yi Ba said.
When I closed the door, Yi Ba was already sitting cross-legged on the ground.
I saw that Yi Ba put the backs of his hands facing each other, with his right hand on top. The ring finger of the right hand hooks the middle finger of the left hand from the outside, and the index finger of the right hand hooks the ring finger of the right hand and the middle finger of the left hand from the inside. The thumb, little finger, index finger, and ring finger of the left hand are extended downward, and the thumb, little finger, and middle finger of the right hand are extended upward.
This is Laojun riding the green bull upside down. Yi Ba formed this seal at this time because he wanted to use the green bull to lead the way and lead the little paper man to Sanji to pawn.
Sure enough, as soon as the seal was completed, the little paper man immediately jumped off the talisman. What's amazing is that the little paper man did not fall to the ground, but was suspended in the air, as if he was riding on something. The thing it was riding on was naturally the green cow.
"In the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, Anzhen informed all spirits; Yuedu was the true official and the only spirit of the land. Left the society and the right Ji, do not be alarmed; return to the right path and clarify the inside and outside. Everyone is in position and guard the altar... …”
The green cow walks on the ground, and of course it must be allowed by the Bodhisattva of the Earth. Yi Ba recited the "God's Curse of An Di Di" and cleared the way for Qing Niu there.
The little paper man was about to float to the door. The small crack left was on the side of the door. The paper man turned a corner and slipped out through the remaining crack.
"Do you need me to take a look? Is the little paper man going the wrong way?" Seeing that Yi Ba had already finished his posture and was no longer reciting the spell, I asked him.
“There is only one store called Sanji in Guquan Old Street, and it is unmistakable.” Yi Badao said.
"Is there anything else that needs to be done?" I asked.
"Light a stick of incense! After the incense is burned, we can open the door." Yi Ba said.
I lit a stick of incense in the incense burner. Under normal circumstances, this stick of incense should only burn for more than 20 minutes, no more than half an hour at most. But what surprised me was that the incense burned very slowly, and it actually burned for almost two hours. By the time the incense was finished burning, it was already eleven o'clock.
"Open the door and watch the show!" Yi Ba pointed to the door and said to me calmly.
I opened the door and looked outside. I found that the street was empty and nothing unusual.
Standing at the door, you can see Sanji Pawn. The lights in the store are on, and Sister Shaoyao should be inside. Nothing happened. I was about to turn around and go back to the house when the light of Sanji Pawn suddenly flashed.
After thousands of flashes, the light suddenly went dark.
“Ah!” I heard a woman’s scream. I could tell that this voice belonged to Sister Shaoyao.
Yi Ba said he opened the door to watch a show. It seems he really wasn’t fooling me! In just two or three minutes from the time the store opened, the show at Sanji Pawn started.
Sister Shaoyao looked frightened and ran out of the store in a panic. She went directly to the street entrance, and as she ran, she looked back, as if she was afraid that something was following behind.
When she ran to the door of Lu's store, Sister Shaoyao rushed in directly. Judging from what she meant, she probably wanted to find Lu Daming for help. This behavior of hers was completely within my expectations.
“Can Lu Daming solve the drama of Sanji Pawn?” I asked Yi Ba.
"I don't know about that. We made this joke to Sister Shaoyao, aren't we just to find out their background?" Yi Ba paused and said: "We want Lu Daming to do it easily This matter can be settled, and we will have to keep our tails between our legs from now on; if he can't settle it, or it takes a lot of effort to settle it, we can be a little bit more high-key."
Sister Shaoyao must have a good relationship with Lu Daming. Less than five minutes after entering, Lu Daming followed her out and went to Sanji Pawn. "Would you like to go there and watch the show up close?" Yi Ba asked me.
