Chapter 15 Dissolution of Misunderstandings
Unlike ordinary bruises, even if the area where the handprints are located is touched, there is no feeling.
"This is left by that ghost. It deliberately slapped the yang fire on your shoulder and marked it again. When it arrived at twelve o'clock tonight, it would come to the door to take your life immediately." Grandma Li said as she took out something from the cart.
Lu Zhao looked carefully and found that it was a bag of glutinous rice, a pack of red powder wrapped in paper, a few pieces of yellow paper, and a knife with a blade about 8 inches long and looks rusty.
"Fortunately you didn't look back at that time, otherwise you would have been desperate to come back." Grandma Li walked into the kitchen, took out a porcelain bowl filled with water, and poured the glutinous rice in one go.
Hearing her say this, Lu Zhao couldn't help asking: "You have been following me? Can you see...those things?"
"Well, from the moment I was born, my eyes could see things that others could not see. My mother said that this is family inheritance. My grandmother was the same when she was young."
As if to dispel Lu Zhao's doubts, Grandma Li said to herself: "Since I was young, I don't know how many dead people came to me for help. At first, I was also very scared and resistant. But later I realized that ghosts are actually good and bad, just like the mother and daughter last night. I helped them, hoping that they could leave without worries."
"A while ago, I happened to be entrusted to go to 603 to do something. The old man who died was worried about the cat at home and said that after he left, he stayed in the house and refused to leave. So, I would go over and feed it some food every night. But it would be useless to continue like this, so after leaving last night, I released it. Who knew that he was so destined to be picked up by you."
Grandma Li said, and glanced at the black cat entrenched on the sofa.
When Lu Zhao heard this, he suddenly realized. He came to the cart and sniffed it carefully. Sure enough, he smelled a faint smell of fish.
While crushing the glutinous rice, Grandma Li said slowly: "I understand that you have a lot of doubts in your heart now. Why do I tell you those things? Because of these eyes, I can see that you are a dying person. Although I don't know why you came to such a place, with your own ability, you can't change the current situation. I have helped you this time, so you can leave quickly. Enjoy your life well, and live a life of stagnation in such a ghost place."
After applying the glutinous rice paste to Lu Zhao's shoulder, Grandma Li began to pour the wrapped powder into a bowl, and after mixing it with water, she picked up the pen and quickly wrote a series of symbols on the yellow paper.
Lu Zhao suddenly recognized: This red powder is cinnabar.
"Glutinous rice is the essence of the five grains, which is the most abundant yang energy; and cinnabar is also the most yang object. The two gather the spirits of the sun and the moon, absorb the righteous energy of heaven and earth, and can suppress evil spirits." Grandma Li said: "I will remove the aura left by the evil spirit on you first, and when the mark fades, it should be fine. As for these yellow talismans, you can stick them in various places in the doors and windows to avoid being invaded."
"Thank you grandma." Lu Zhao felt that the place where his shoulder was covered with glutinous rice was warm, and the discomfort on his previous body and the cold smell gradually disappeared.
"I'll ask you, what kind of holiday did you have with Uncle Zhong have? He once hinted that you have a problem, so I was so wary of you just now..." When I thought that I was almost deceived by that old man, Lu Zhao was even more curious in his heart.
Although Grandma Li is not a resident of Wangsen Building, it is obvious that she and Uncle Zhong know each other.
"I have some connection with him, so don't ask. It's not good for you to know too much." Grandma Li was so secretive about Uncle Zhong and seemed unwilling to mention it.
Despite all the doubts, Grandma Li is now the only one who can save her. After hearing him say that, Lu Zhao responded honestly and did not dare to mention it any more.
After drawing the talismans, Grandma Li looked around and then walked into the bedroom tremblingly.
Lu Zhao hurriedly followed, and Grandma Li walked to her bed with the long knife in her hand. Then, she lifted the pillow and placed the scissors under the mattress.
"Grandma, what are you doing?" Lu Zhao said curiously: "What kind of knife is this?"
"Pig Killing Knife." Grandma Li said: "This is what I went to the vegetable market to find a pig killer and asked for from him."
Anyone who can be a pig slayer will not only have a strong life, but also have a heavy evil spirit on his body. The profession of a pig slayer will be stained with blood on his hands, which will deprive life of life and damage good deeds. Such people are even afraid of ghosts when they see them.
"I see that your middle hall is black and seems to be disturbed by nightmares all year round; in addition, your yang energy is weak and easy to be bumped. Put the pig-killing knife under the pillow, and the evil energy can temporarily protect you from peace."
Grandma Li checked Lu Zhao's back; at this time, the glutinous rice turned black after absorbing the resentment. After washing it off, Lu Zhao's skin was as smooth as before, and the terrifying handprint had completely disappeared.
Lu Zhao was extremely grateful for her help. Thinking of misunderstanding the grandma before, he felt ashamed and apologized to the other party repeatedly.
"Don't rush to thank me for now." Grandma Li looked at Lu Zhao and sighed: "You haven't completely escaped from danger yet. No wonder the person named Zhong deliberately tricked you and led me out to help. Unexpectedly, you were in such a big trouble."
"What did you say?" Lu Zhao was stunned when he heard this.
According to Grandma Li's words, Uncle Zhong deliberately pushed himself into danger, but left room for nothing. Is the purpose of doing this just because Uncle Zhong wants to save himself, but is afraid of lack of ability, so he takes a detour and forces Grandma Li to take action in such an extreme way?
Now that I think about it, if Uncle Zhong really had the intention to kill him, there was no need to tell him about the taboos in the building, and there was also the matter of not looking back on the road.
Immediately afterwards, Grandma Li's words also confirmed Lu Zhao's speculation:
"I originally didn't plan to care about these nostalgic business. If I had not been entrusted by others, I would never have taken another step into the Wansen Building." Grandma Li raised her head, as if she was trapped in some kind of memory.
When she met Lu Zhao's inquiry gaze, she sighed and said quietly: "You are entangled with you, a fierce spirit with great resentment. The person named Zhong is an old fried dough stick. After so many years of being here, he naturally has his own way of dealing with the world. He doesn't want to get involved in these things, and he doesn't want to see you die, so he deliberately lied to you outside and mess with evil spirits, wanting to see if I will take action. After all, no matter what, you can't live tonight."
When Lu Zhao heard this, he was a little amused and crying.
From this point of view, although Uncle Zhong and Grandma Li had a feud, they were not bad people.
But... I don’t know if Uncle Zhong should say thank you to him for saving people.
If he loses the bet and Grandma Li doesn't intend to interfere, then will she be brought to the door by two ghosts tonight?
"It's not two, it's three." After hearing Lu Zhao say this, Grandma Li suddenly said something.
"What? Isn't it Lin Yue'e who is trying to find me?!" Lu Zhao widened his eyes in surprise.
Grandma Li grinned, and her smile made his scalp numb: "Lin Yue'e is just not fulfilling her wish. She is just asking you to do something, and she won't harm anyone's life. And what you met on the roadside tonight was just a tragic devil who wanted to find a substitute. Even if they were two of them combined, they were far less than the one in your room."
"In my house... there is a ghost, too?"
Lu Zhao's breathing suddenly became heavy. The moment Grandma Li finished speaking, fear gradually climbed up to the top of his head along the soles of his feet. In the dark, he seemed to really feel a pair of vicious eyes, peeking at him in the dark.
He suddenly remembered the talisman on the wall of the living room. At this time, Lu Zhao finally figured it out: it turned out that the landlord left it not to guard against Lin Yue'e next door, but to suppress the main owner in the room!
Lu Zhao quickly pulled out the photo from his phone and handed it to Grandma Li. Sure enough, after reading it, the latter said confidently: "Yes, this is indeed a talisman used to suppress the house and drive away ghosts. Have you uncovered the wallpaper?"
