Warlock Notes

Chapter 19 Huangquan Road

Fatty and Lao Hu finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing what I said.Who said it wasn't, this night, I encountered so many evil things, anyone would not be able to bear it, and I never let go of my nerves.

The three of us felt an indescribable sense of relief, so we walked quickly towards the platform, hoping to get a bus back to the city later.

Because the sky was getting brighter, there were early-rising road administrators on the side of the road, and they were on the side of the platform. I don’t know what they were burning early in the morning. We could smell the strong stench more than ten meters away.

When I came to the platform, I walked towards the road officials.Ask them where this is, is it far from the nearest county seat?
Seeing a passer-by asking him, the road administrator pointed to the road sign on the opposite side of the road and said, "This is Huangquan Road, about [-] kilometers away from the county seat!"

Upon hearing this, the three of us were startled, Huangquan Road?Damn, we wandered around all night, could it be that we have been wandering around on Huangquan Road?Did we hang up early in the morning?The three of them stared at each other, unable to speak for a moment.

At this time, the road administrator seemed to see our panic, so he said with a smile: "You guys are foreigners, don't worry, this is not the Huangquan Road in the underworld, because there is a very famous spring in front, named Huangquan, so This road is also called Huangquan Road."

Hearing this, we were relieved. It turned out that the names were the same.It seems that there must have been too many collisions last night, so the nerves are still tense.

"Damn, which melon named it, Huangquan is nothing, but can this road be called Huangquan Road? Does this make people dare to drive there..." The fat man muttered angrily.

The road officer said: "The young man is right. This road really shouldn't be called that name. After taking this name, the road will be completely destroyed, and there will be no traffic accidents."

We nodded. People generally say that they should try their best to avoid taboo things, actions and words, which are called taboos.Generally, when you go out for a long trip, you have to listen to good words, which is also called asking for luck, also known as asking for lottery or talking. This is the "color custom".But the national road in front of me is good, it is directly named Huangquan Road, which is indeed a kind of taboo among the people, and it will invisibly attract some dark and negative influences.If some people with low luck drive this road, it is really possible that something unfavorable will happen, leading all the way to the real Huangquan Road.

Folk taboos and colorful customs, with all kinds of strange things, have become customary for a long time, forming a fairly stable group consciousness.For example, during Chinese New Year, festivals or other festive days, people are taboo about someone saying the word "death".

There is still a folk custom of not sweeping the floor on the first day of the first month of the lunar calendar, that is, avoid sweeping the floor.It is said that sweeping the floor on this day will sweep away the treasures in the house, which is unlucky.This is a sustenance of people's desire for wealth.In fact, this custom was first seen in "Sou Shen Ji". It is said in the book that in ancient times, a businessman crossed Qingcao Lake and met a god.The gods promised it, exhaled Ruyi, it turned out to be a maidservant.The businessman brought her back, and soon the family became rich.Later, the businessman was very upset when he saw that the maid was not sweeping the floor, so he got angry, scolded her and even beat her.Ruyi was beaten, very unwilling, and angrily got into the broom.Since then, the businessman's family has been sweeping the floor, but the family has become poorer and poorer.That's why people say that sweeping is bad, but not sweeping is good.But it doesn’t work if you don’t sweep the floor every day.The first day of the first lunar month is the first day of the year. People believe that this day can herald good luck for the whole year.This was originally a legend, and later became a common custom.

There are still some taboos in various places among the people. For example, wearing straw sandals to enter other people's homes is considered a taboo.Because in the old days, straw sandals were worn when the dead at home or when parents were mourning. It is also taboo to build a bed in the hall and use the door panel as a bed.Don't stick your chopsticks in the middle of the rice when eating, because it is for the dead.It is forbidden to wear patch on the body if the clothes are torn. It is said that if you wear patch, you will not die. The main worry is that you will accidentally stab your body when patching.Reading books in casinos has always been regarded as a taboo, because book has the same pronunciation as losing, and gamblers are of course unwilling to lose.

All these things show that people care about taboos, because they all think it is unlucky. (In fact, there are many more, because I am afraid that everyone will be wordy, so I won’t talk about it).

I glanced at the road sign with the words "Huangquan Road" written on the opposite side, and smiled helplessly. If the name is not changed as soon as possible, the road will be unlucky.

But the matter of changing the name of the road, we mere ordinary people can't change it, and we don't have that much ability. The so-called more than enough energy but not enough energy, it may be like this.

I said thank you to the road administrators and was about to leave, but I still asked them casually: "What are you burning here? It's really a bit pungent."

Unexpectedly, the road administrator replied: "There was a car accident here yesterday, and all the people in the car died, alas! No, we came early in the morning to burn the clothes left by the dead on the roadside, so as not to give way. People look scary."

Fatty and I were immediately stunned, thinking, could it be that the ghost car we were riding in was here to pick up those people who had a car accident yesterday?

Obviously, all three of us wanted to go together.The road officer probably thought we were only afraid of the car accident, so he said: "Why is it scary? Those who died in the car accident yesterday, their clothes were scattered all over the platform, and no one dared to come Waiting for the bus here. Oh, this road really got a bad name."

Hearing this, Old Hu Youyou turned to us and asked: "Yesterday... did you see the clothes scattered on the platform last night?"

"Aside from people, were there any clothes on the platform yesterday?" The fat man was also full of shock.

In the end, the two of them looked at me together. I thought about it carefully and realized that it was just like what the fat man said. At that time, there were really no clothes on the entire platform except the people waiting for the bus.If bloody and messy clothes are scattered all over the platform, we can't fail to see them. After all, these things can arouse people's disgust.

I couldn't help but shook my head and said, "Looks like that car really came to pick up those people who died in a car accident last night."

Lao Hu and the two shivered violently, apparently feeling terrified of what happened last night.

Regardless of the puzzled expression of the road administrator, I immediately said thank you and walked away quickly.

We waited for half an hour, maybe because it was too early, there was no passing bus, the only ones were inter-provincial long-distance buses, and they would not pay attention to our waving.

While we were waiting, a small car suddenly stopped in front of us, with the window down, a man in his forties poked his head out and asked, "Take a car? Where are you going?"

When we saw it, we were very happy. Although there was a "black car" to solicit customers, there were three of us, and we were not afraid that he would make a fool of us.So we immediately went forward and replied: "Brother, we are going to the nearest county seat, how much do you think?"

The driver man said that he wanted one hundred. Although the price was a bit too much, we only wanted to return to the city as soon as possible, so we didn't have the heart to bargain with him. car.

As soon as we got in the car, the three of us felt sleepy, because we had been tired all day and night, and we hadn’t rested yet. Besides, the price had already been negotiated anyway, so we didn’t have to worry about ordinary drivers deliberately taking long detours to make money, so the three of us quickly shut down. Eyes dozed off.

In my daze, I had a very strange dream. I dreamed of the late Zhenren Zhang.In a thick gray fog, I saw him wearing the clothes of an ancient official, and he seemed to be calling my name, but he was far away and couldn't hear clearly for a while.

So I walked towards him vigorously, and when I got close, I asked him: "Master, why are you here, aren't you that or something? I heard you shouting something just now, are you calling me?" ?”

Zhang Zhenzhen scolded me: "Don't call you, old man, did I come up here to play on purpose? What have you been doing for the past few years, you are so weak, you have been calling you for so long There was no reaction at all."

Divine consciousness refers to the primordial spirit, or the consciousness of the soul.Generally speaking, the higher the mana and the stronger the mage, the stronger the spiritual consciousness, and can sense and perceive the surrounding dangerous information and yin and yang breaths better than normal people.And it is said that the masters who are more powerful can still leave their souls, which is what the folks call their souls out of their bodies.Its primordial spirit can travel thousands of miles at night to investigate things thousands of miles away, and it can go down to the underworld to enter the palace and do things in the underworld, which is very amazing.

As for me, even Daoist Zhang took the initiative to call me, I didn't even realize in time that it was indeed as bad as it was, no wonder he scolded me as an old man.

I was embarrassed to say haha, and asked him why he came up when he was free, how was his life down there, and did the underworld make things difficult for you?
Seeing that I cared about him so much, Master Zhang saw that the anger on his face disappeared in an instant, and his face was filled with relief. He said, "Don't worry, I'm fine down here. Lord Yama, for the sake of the patriarch, I don't care about saving you." Things that violated the rules didn't make me look bad, and even made me a ghost messenger. Don't worry!"

I nodded, if it was the old man who was punished in hell when he went to the underworld to save me last time, then I would really feel bad about it, and I will never let it go.I said, "That's good. Master, did you come here specially to see me this time?"

Unexpectedly, as soon as he asked this question, his face immediately changed back to the previous anger. Judging from my expression, the whole expression is full of hatred.He said: "You still have the nerve to say that you have met a wicked person right now, and you still dare to sleep in peace. If I don't come up to find you, why don't you wait for you to come down and find me?"

Hearing this, I was startled and asked him who is the villain?

Zhang Zhenren said: "The driver who is driving you is the one who wants to kill you. I wanted to approach you just now, but he sensed it. So I can only call you from a distance. Remember, be careful of this person, his It's not something you can beat."

Immediately, I was terrified. Damn it, I thought God was tired after seeing the three of us tossing all night, so I specially arranged for a black car to take us back to the city. I never expected such a disaster to happen again. And what's more, he's someone I can't beat.

Immediately I asked him what to do.

Zhang Zhenzhen said that he could not help me, because as a local government official, he could not interfere too much with human affairs, so everything had to be resolved by myself.But when he left, he said: "There is a saying that a good man doesn't suffer from immediate losses, sometimes a little loss can save a catastrophe. Remember!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he disappeared in an instant, and I also woke up suddenly from the dream immediately.Then, I found that the car had stopped, and the car was not parked in the county town, but parked on a deserted grassland.

I suddenly thought of the strange dream just now, so I immediately became terrified, and hurriedly looked into the cab, wow, the driver disappeared...
