How to get started

Sister Xingfu drove Xiaopang to a shop selling incense and paper money in the corner of the vegetable market.The store is not big, and there are all kinds of paper-made things piled up everywhere.All that remains is a trail to walk on.

Because it was evening, the vegetable market was already in ruins. In the open space in the center of the vegetable market, there were piles of unwanted rotten vegetables.

Xiaopang followed behind Sister Xingfu and asked, "Sister Xingfu, I didn't expect you to go to the vegetable market?" In Xiaopang's eyes, although Xingfu's family is not very rich, she is also a little girl who never cooks. Princess.Oh, it's the old princess.

Happiness didn't answer him, walked into the incense candle shop, and shouted, "Grandpa Huang? Old man Huang?"

After shouting twice, an old man still holding a bowl came out.The old man looked very old, maybe 70 or [-] years old.When he saw Happiness, he said with a smile: "Happiness, just choose what you want to buy, and I'll settle the bill for you later." After he finished speaking, he was about to turn around and go to the last table in the shop, squatting down to eat.

He hadn't squatted down yet, so he listened to Happiness and asked, "I'm going to the City God's Land to do something tonight. Could you introduce me?"

Only then did the old man put down the bowl and chopsticks, and took down a small stack of yellow paper from the shelves that were slowly stacking up. It looked like the kind of yellow paper that Brother Chen used to draw symbols on.

Then there is the brush, and the very old grind.I saw Qu Censhi used these before.Then the old man put a cardboard box at Jin Jin's feet and said, "It's always good to burn more ingots."

Happiness nodded and handed over the bank card.

Xiaopang whispered from the side: "Just a few pieces of paper and you still need to swipe your card? You don't have enough money, so I'll put it first?"

When Xiaopang was talking, the old man over there had already reported the number: "520 yuan. I'll give you a discount, 500 yuan."

This time Xiaopang was startled, he knew why Feng Shui masters charged so much lai see.The cost is too high.

Sister Xingfu waved her hand, asked Xiaopang to help carry the box, and followed her back to the car.

On the way back to the car, Xiaopang said, "It's only one thousand and five for a box, Miss Xingfu, have you been knocked?"

"This is originally [-] boxes." Sister Xingfu replied.

"Then you wouldn't buy it from another one. I think that old man is too smart."

"He's a errand, don't talk nonsense. The things he has here are a bit more expensive, but they are guaranteed to be useful, and he won't fool people with those fake things."

"Yin errand? How do you know errands? Aren't all errands ghosts?"

When Happiness opened the car door, he was already annoyed by so many questions. "The errand is the public official who communicates between the yin and the yang. There are people, and there are ghosts. Those news said, inexplicably received letters from relatives decades ago, or phone calls from dead people, or letters from dead people. It's the job of the errand. We burned paper at the crossroads, and the errand sent it there with the help of the errand. Curious baby, do you have any questions?"

For a big man like Xiaopang, what he hates the most is being called a baby, so he immediately shut up.On this issue, he suffered a disadvantage, and on the issue of the car, Xiaopang would not let it go.

While Happiness was putting things away, he was already sitting in the driver's seat.Happiness looked at him suspiciously, and he said, "You don't know the way, of course I'm driving."

Happiness rolled his eyes.Isn't it just a matter of driving?This kind of man also needs to be so fussy.She still sat in the co-pilot's seat and Xiaopang took her there.

After dinner, I went out at seven o'clock. By the time I bought something, it was already dark and it was already eight o'clock.The car drove to the outskirts and parked in the parking space of the school next to the green belt.Fatty got out of the car and said, "Take the path from here, and you will see a very small temple. It's there."

Happiness is only holding her own cosmetic box, which contains yellow paper and ink research, while Xiaopang is carrying the big box.Although the box looks big, it is not very heavy.It's just that it's too big to hold.Compared with Xiaopang who is clumsy carrying a big suitcase, Happiness is much lighter carrying a small cosmetic case.

Walking on the small gravel road, she urged her several times: "Hurry up. With your speed, you still say you want to be a soldier?"

"Soldiers carry sacks and guns, not broken boxes like yours."

"What's broken? Be careful, I'll leave you to Lord Chenghuang later. I heard that Lord City God is actually a ghost, someone who was famous during his lifetime and did many good deeds. Maybe he will like you very much for carrying the sack for him." Woolen cloth."

"Let's go, why do I think you talk so much?" Xiaopang complained, "Why haven't you arrived after so long. Last time we came, we didn't walk for so long."

After Xiaopang said this, the happiness walking in front of you stopped and looked at the surrounding scenery.The municipal green belt here is very long, but the landscape is similar.The same tree, the same pattern, the same path, the same small pavilion, the same street lamp, and the same roadside barrier.Here can repeat and ten miles away.

Fatty noticed the abnormality of happiness, and asked in a low voice: "Did you encounter a ghost hitting the wall?"

Happiness said angrily: "You remember the wrong way. Go back. If you go on like this, you can reach the crossroad ahead."

Fatty looked around, seeing the same scenery, and said in a low voice, "Last time I said I would get lost, but I didn't expect that I would really get lost."

"Are you still a soldier? You're lost in this situation. You're going to be thrown into the wild. It's no wonder you survived."

"Fuck! When I lived alone in the wild for seven or eight days, you were still in school every day."

It was another long time of wrangling, and another scene that was repeated all the time.After 10 minutes, Xiaopang asked again: "We can't really hit the wall, can we?"

"No, if it's a ghost hitting the wall, you won't see those cars." This green belt is next to a six-lane road, and cars whizzing by can still be seen outside.

It's not really ghosts hitting the wall, they just got lost.At this time, Xiaopang would rather run into a ghost hitting the wall. If he lost his way, it would be too embarrassing.

Happiness was also tired from walking, so he sat down on the stone bench beside him, took out his mobile phone, and dialed Shizi's number.He also muttered softly: "It's really unreliable to come out with you."

But the voice of not being in the service area has already appeared on the other end of the phone.In this day and age, the mobile signal can definitely cover the entire city, so the possibility of not being in the service area means entering the world over there.

Happiness looked at the phone and said in a low voice: "What time is it? The ghost market is already out? Is the ghost market open yet?" But only after looking at the time did she know that her time perception was wrong.It's past eleven o'clock now.In other words, they have been walking in this green belt for two hours, but they still haven't found the Town God's Temple.If you can't find it tonight, you will have to wait until the next fifteenth day.

"Let's go, walk again, maybe we can find it for us." Happiness said weakly.And Xiaopang resignedly carried his big box and followed.

Since it's not a ghost hitting the wall, but just getting lost, you can still find the Town God's Temple by walking around in such a green belt.It's just that Xiaopang got slower later on, and kept falling five or six meters behind Happiness.Finally, at [-]:[-], they saw the Town God's Temple with a dim lantern on.

Very small, really small.It's so small that people think it's just a dilapidated old house.

The courtyard door has been opened, and there is only a dozen square meters of courtyard, which is the house.On the counter directly facing the door, there is a Buddha statue that has lost its color and cannot be seen at all.In front of the Buddha statue is a large incense burner.On the left there is a table, a bench, that's all.

Happiness looked at the time and said: "You burn the incense first, and burn the ingots in the box. There should be still time."

Xiaopang put down the suitcase, looked at the table, and thought that happiness would not let him take off his clothes and wipe the table.The last time they came was two months ago and it wasn't very cold.And now that the cotton clothes are coming up, isn't it a bit too much to ask him to take off his clothes and wipe the table?

But Xiaopang's idea was completely overwhelmed.Because happiness is to take out a pack of wet wipes directly from the cosmetic box, under the attack of wet wipes, the table and stool are clean in less than 1 minute.

Happiness looked up and said, "Why are you standing still, it's time to burn incense."

Only then did Xiaopang come to his senses, he quickly took out the joss sticks, and lit all the candles and kerosene lamps beside him.For a while, the room was very bright, allowing Happiness to concentrate on writing her yin document.

Xiaopang burned the incense and started to burn the ingots. While burning, he said: "Master Chenghuang, Lord of the Land. If we have any requests in a while, please handle them as soon as possible. The reply letter, just like last time, put It’s fine on the ground in the yard outside. Don’t come out and scare us. I’ve been very sad these days, and I don’t know how many times I’ve been scared.”

Happiness shook his head and suddenly felt that it was definitely a mistake for the two of them to come out this time.

The writing of Tongyin script is finished. In this regard, happiness is definitely more capable than persimmons.She walked up to the Buddha statue, saw that the ingots were almost burned, and threw the Tongyin document into the fire.

"Master Chenghuang, there is a shop in the ghost market that takes the souls of strangers and sells them. We request that the shop be sealed up. Although we should not interfere with the ghost market, the 'Jing Yuan' has already endangered my life in order to get the souls of strangers. Friends. Please give me a hint from Master Chenghuang."

Xiaopang poured all those ingots into the stove, and the flames rose very high. "So many gold ingots are given to you. Help me, hurry up."

Happiness said angrily: "That's not too much. They can burn more than ten boxes at a time for repaying their debts. And they have to kneel here and stack the ingots. Let's stop talking about the ready-made ones. It's ugly."
