Chapter 1173 Uncle Feng

This Mike's condition is very strange. He looks healthy and energetic, but his Yang Qi is almost gone.

What will happen if a living person has no Yang Qi?

Of course, he will die!

The reason why Su Yi said that Mike would not live for more than seven days is because in Su Yi's eyes, Mike's remaining Yang Qi is still rapidly decreasing, and it will be completely empty in less than seven days.

But Su Yi did not find any traces of ghost possession, curse, or spell on Mike, which is why Su Yi felt very strange.

He has never seen such a situation.

A healthy living person will never have such a little Yang Qi for no reason.

So where did Mike's Yang Qi go?

Because he didn't understand the situation, out of caution, Su Yi did not act rashly. He watched Mike go away, thinking about how to deal with this matter.

He didn't have the idea of ​​secretly following him to investigate, because if this really involved ghosts and gods, how could you be more secretive than ghosts and gods?

What he said to Mike just now was actually crossing the line, and it was also a small test for Su Yi.

If this matter really involves ghosts and gods, Su Yi feels that he will be warned soon.

After all, ghosts and gods do not need to be sympathetic like humans, and they are generally vindictive and cannot be offended.

The car that Director Ma gave Su Yi was pretty good, a red car that looked 70% to 80% new.

Except that Su Yi did not like the color, there was nothing wrong with it.

In fact, ghosts are taboo about red, so people like to dress up everywhere in red when they hold some weddings, including people.

But red can only restrain ordinary sneaky ghosts. For some very powerful ghosts, red will attract them.

However, many people now often put some decorations on the car to protect peace in order to seek peace of mind, such as placing a Buddha statue in front of the car, hanging Buddhist beads, cinnabar or amulets, etc. As long as they are obtained from a place with incense, or invited to worship at home, they are very effective.

Su Yi drove all the way to Dapu, but he was thinking about how to intervene in Mike's case.

His first task was to "convert substitute ghosts and destroy the Ghost Story Association", so Su Yi wondered if Mike's abnormality was related to the "substitute ghost".

Substitute ghost? Ghost looking for a substitute?

Su Yi was not unfamiliar with this, he had caught several evil ghosts looking for substitutes, and even a water ghost.

But ghosts usually look for substitutes in specific places and at specific times, inducing victims to die in specific ways.

Some evil ghosts have too much karma, sometimes one substitute is not enough, and several substitutes are needed.

The purpose of ghosts looking for substitutes is to let other ghosts suffer the pain of karma burning on their behalf and help them share the karma.

Ghosts who are used as substitutes are very pitiful, because they not only have to bear their own karma in their lifetime, but also the karma of the evil ghosts who killed them.

These ghosts usually find a substitute to harm people, just like passing the parcel, and divide their karma again;

But most of them will not last long before being burned by the fire of karma and their souls will be scattered. After all, it is difficult for most ghosts to bear the karma of evil spirits with a new ghost body.

Will Mike be a substitute chosen by evil spirits?

But if so, there must be evil spirit marks on his body, but Su Yi did not find any problems with him.

Weird, really weird...

The car soon arrived at Dapeng Bay. Su Yi parked the car at the pier and spent 100 yuan to hire a boat to go out to the sea and head to an island not far away.

This island is called Dongpingzhou, which is the destination of Su Yi's trip.

It is called an island, but it is actually a very remote fishing village. There are few outsiders in this fishing village, and the only means of transportation between the village and the outside world is boats.

There is a police station on the island, and there is only one policeman in the station, known as "Uncle Feng". This Uncle Feng is the target of Su Yi's trip.

When we arrived at the island, it was already dark. It was the Zhongyuan Festival when Su Yi arrived. Every household in the village was burning paper. Looking around, we could see sparks all along the way, like a bunch of ghost fires, which looked particularly eerie and spooky.

The fishing village was surrounded by dense forests. The sea breeze was blowing. Walking along the way, the branches and leaves of the trees on both sides of the road swayed wantonly, like countless ghost claws waving in the dark. The "rustling" sound of the leaves blown by the wind sounded like countless ghosts whispering maliciously in the dark.

As Su Yi walked, he always felt that something was following him.

He knew it was not an illusion. In fact, many people feel that they are being followed when walking at night. This is not an illusion, but if it is an ordinary person, it is best not to look back frequently.

Because you may not see anyone when you look ten times, but you may see a shadow or a face when you look at it for the eleventh time. At this time, you must at least get sick to eliminate the evil spirit in your body.

The uninhabited suburbs are definitely a paradise for ghosts and evil spirits. A living person passing by here at night is as eye-catching as a red lantern. Although ghosts dare not approach you, they also covet your yang energy and envy your vitality, so they will follow you from a distance.

Under normal circumstances, as long as people ignore it and just go their own way, they will naturally "see the strange, and the strange will defeat itself."

But some people are really scared, so they spit a mouthful of saliva in their palms and touch the back of their heads three times, and they will immediately feel much more at ease.

Ghosts are afraid of saliva. The reason why they touch the back of the head is that the back of the head is also called "foreign bone", which is the weakest part of the human body. Putting saliva on the back of the head is equivalent to protecting one's vital points, and the heart will naturally be much more stable.

Psychologically speaking, this is called distracting anxiety, which makes sense.

Su Yi naturally doesn't care about these lonely ghosts floating in the wild. These ghosts will be burned even if they get close to him, let alone harm him.

But they don't know what fear is, and they still follow Su Yi from a distance instinctively.

It wasn't until Su Yi walked to the entrance of the village that the ghosts stopped.

Su Yi stopped and looked back with a smile.

In his field of vision, there were many shadows following in the darkness behind him, with gusts of cold wind and ghosts roaring continuously. The scene was very spectacular.

These ghosts are not all lonely ghosts, and there shouldn't be so many of them on normal days. It's just that today is the Zhongyuan Festival, and the gates of hell are wide open, so there are so many sneaky ghosts coming to the human world to enjoy incense, candles and paper money.

But the ghosts who can really eat incense and candles have already entered the village. Those wandering outside the village are the kind of people who have neither reincarnation nor descendants to worship them.

They have been completely forgotten by descendants.

Just then, Su Yi found that these ghosts were agitated and suddenly rushed to the west of the village, as if they were attracted by something.

Su Yi's heart moved and looked over there.

He saw that in an open space over there, someone had lit a big fire there, burning paper money and incense and candles.

All these ghosts were running over there. Su Yi saw from a distance that these ghosts were fighting for something around the fire over there.

"So you have the leisure to help ghosts? It seems that Uncle Feng is there." Su Yi smiled. He didn't expect to find someone so smoothly.

He walked over there.

When he arrived in the village, the people burning paper on both sides of the road saw Su Yi and their faces changed slightly, bowed their heads and kept silent. If they met him head-on, they would hide and mutter something in their mouths, as if they had seen the god of plague.

In fact, this is also a kind of taboo. During the Zhongyuan Festival and Qingming Festival, you must not look at strangers, let alone say hello, because you don’t know whether they are human or ghost.

The radio in the fishing village also plays the babbling opera: "It is difficult to get rid of the injustice, and it is difficult to eliminate the hatred. Kneel down and cry to the sea god, kneel down and cry to the sea god, saying that the eyes of heaven are clear, and I say that the light of God shines everywhere..."

I don’t know whether it is prejudice or stereotype, Su Yi always feels that Cantonese opera gives people a very gloomy and weird feeling.

When Su Yi walked over there, he found that the people who gave alms to ghosts over there had also left, and the direction was just coming towards him.

Then he was even less anxious and walked leisurely.

When passing by an alley, he saw a young girl kneeling on the side of the road to burn paper. The firelight reflected on her face flickered, and the outline of her delicate features could be vaguely seen.

But this girl was not like other people. She was absent-minded when burning paper and was still looking around.

Seeing the old lady next to her carrying a paper-made TV and refrigerator and throwing them into the fire, she said, "Auntie San, why did you change the appliances for your son again this year?"

Auntie San smiled and said, "Zhuzhu is filial to her dead father. She wrote back and said that she met a new boyfriend and found a new job."

The girl pouted and muttered, "I also want to go out and find a job, but my uncle won't allow me..."

Auntie San happily lit a handful of paper money and bowed to all directions, "Paper money opens the way, and buying off the monsters and ghosts will definitely deliver! This year, there will be a full set of color TV and VCR, and next year, there will be a car, a foreign-style building, and a wine cellar..."

Su Yi smiled knowingly, and this even rhymed.

In fact, words like buying off the monsters and ghosts should not be said at all. Auntie San's son was standing by the fire, waiting to receive the goods, what does the monsters and ghosts have to do with it?

If there are really ghosts and monsters passing by here and taking the words of the third woman seriously, then the money burned by the third woman will be divided by the ghosts and monsters.

In fact, burning paper money, TV ingots, or even villa beauties, will ghosts really receive these things?

Not so, ghosts only receive "incense", which is something that can strengthen them and is also hard currency in the underworld.

Of course, families with conditions will also set up offerings and use food and wine to worship their ancestors. Ghosts can't eat or drink these things, but these things are also considered incense, and they are incense with yang energy, which is more precious to ghosts.

Some people eat the offerings after worshiping. Does this count as snatching food from ghosts?

Not so, ghosts only eat the incense and yang energy in these foods. Food is still food. It is just a carrier for ghosts, just like our bowls when we eat and cups when we drink water.

In the eyes of ghosts and gods, after they enjoy the food, the younger generation eats the bowls, chopsticks and cups. How can they care?

The same is true for paper money. Whether you burn ingots or paper money, incense or candles, they are just packaging for ghosts. What really matters is the incense contained in them.

Does the amount of paper money burned affect the amount of incense?

This is for sure. The more sincere your heart is, the more incense you will get. How can a living person show his sincerity?

There are two ways. Either you burn incense and worship every day, or you spend more money to burn paper on Qingming Festival and Zhongyuan Festival.

Money often represents sincerity, which is an irrefutable truth that applies everywhere.

Su Yi's arrival also attracted the attention of the girl. Perhaps there were few strangers in this village. The girl stared at Su Yi with wide eyes, looking very curious.

The third wife on the side was also attracted by Su Yi's attention. She accidentally touched the burning refrigerator that was one meter high.

The fire suddenly grew stronger and burned to the haystacks on one side.

The third wife suddenly woke up, stamped her feet and exclaimed: "Oh, it's not good!"

She was so anxious that she stamped her feet on the spot, but her old brain couldn't react, and she didn't know what to do for a moment.

The girl screamed and tried to put out the fire but failed, and hurriedly ran back to the side yard.

Of course Su Yi would not stand idly by when this happened. Without saying a word, he touched a wooden board in the corner and quickly used it to stir up the burning fire, separating the haystack from the fire.

"Oh, I'm such an old fool, why did it catch on fire?" The third wife was so anxious that she stamped her feet, and after saying that, she turned around and ran to another yard.

Just as Su Yi was about to call her to stop, he heard shouting "Water is coming, water is coming" from the yard. The girl just now ran out with a basin of water and started to pour it on the water without saying a word.

"Don't splash!"

Two voices stopped her in unison.

The first sound came from Su Yi, but the latter sound came from the intersection on the other side.

The girl stopped in time and looked at Su Yi with wide eyes.

"It's okay." Su Yi smiled at her, "Let the fire here burn out on its own."

As he spoke, his eyes fell on the other side of the intersection, and he saw a middle-aged man wearing a police uniform and a unibrow walking quickly towards this side.

He looked at Su Yi seriously, then came over and pulled the girl behind him.

"Ah? It's uncle." The girl called.

Without even a frown he said: "The most taboo thing about burning paper is extinguishing it if it's half burned. Remember not to use water to extinguish the fire that burns the night."

"Why?" the girl asked, but her eyes were still looking at Su Yi curiously.

"Because humans can only worship ghosts and gods a few times a year. For them, this opportunity is rare and cannot be missed," Su Yi said with a smile. "If they come here in good spirits and come back disappointed, they will be angered." . It’s okay if you meet someone with a good temper. If you have a bad temper, you will definitely have to settle the score.”

The girl shrank her neck when she heard this, stuck out her tongue and said, "Is it true? Is it so serious?"

"It's true," the unibrow looked at Su Yi, "Alian, bring the water back first!"

"Yes, uncle." Alian made a face behind her unibrow, glanced at Su Yi again, and then turned around and walked into the yard.

"This gentleman looks very strange. Why do you come to our Dongpingzhou so late?" asked the unibrow.

"I'm looking for someone." Su Yi said with a smile, "I have something very important that I want to ask him for advice."
