An Rugu just graduated from university and returned to her small, mountain village to inherit a rundown Daoist temple.
The Daoist temple is simple and solemn, but there are no visitors, and t...
The middle-aged man walked into the side yard and paused when he saw An Rugu. Although he had been mentally prepared before coming, he was still surprised when he actually saw him - this master is really young.
He looks like a college student who hasn't graduated yet.
An Rugu raised her eyes to look at him, her eyebrows and eyes were sharp, like the snow that had not melted for years, and the coldness around her seemed to be substantial.
The man gradually calmed down. No matter how old the master was, as long as he could help him, even a baby in swaddling clothes would be worth his trip.
The man rubbed his temples and shook his head, trying to get rid of the nightmare that had been haunting him recently. Then he stood up straight and said politely, "Hello, Master. I heard from Mr. Wang that you can exorcise ghosts."
An Rugu thought about the people she knew with the surname Wang, and recalled Zhang Ling's husband Wang Jianguo, so she hummed and said, "It's me."
"My last name is Sun." The man skillfully took out a business card from his pocket and said, "I am the deputy general manager of Changjiu Real Estate Company. I want to see you for something."
An Rugu took the lace-bordered business card and put it on the table without even looking at the words on it. She said in a nonchalant tone, as if everything was under control: "You are here for the curse on you, right?"
When Mr. Sun heard this, he was stunned for a second, but after he came to his senses, he naturally felt a lot of trust.
Before he elaborated, the other party knew something was wrong with him. It seemed that Mr. Wang had not lied to him. This master was really capable.
"Yes, yes, I feel like we've been cursed." Thinking of the strange things that happened recently, Mr. Sun frowned and complained like a bamboo tube pouring beans: "Recently, people at our company headquarters have nightmares every day during their naps. The content of the dreams is pretty much the same. There are ghosts whispering in our ears that we have done something wrong, so they are here to take our lives."
An Rugu fell into deep thought: "Will I dream as long as I fall asleep?"
Mr. Sun nodded and answered truthfully: "Yes, whenever I fall asleep during lunch break, I will have this dream. Because of this, no one in the company has taken a nap for a long time."
No one knows when the strange things started, and no one knows why. But whenever you dream, you will dream of ghosts coming to take your life.
People who don't have the habit of taking a nap are fine and are basically unaffected. But people who do have the habit of taking a nap can't take a nap and feel groggy in the afternoon.
More importantly, rumors were spreading in the company, and people were panicking. They all said that there was something fishy going on in the company. Some timid people even submitted their resignations.
Mr. Sun and other senior executives were not immune, and the dreams they had were even more terrifying, so they almost dared not stay in the company.
If this continues, everyone in the company will run away.
When Mr. Sun went to the drinking party, he heard Wang Jianguo talking to his partners about Chuyun Temple. His talk was very exciting and full of excitement. Mr. Sun was moved and took the initiative to invite the master for the company.
"Master, what kind of curse have we been cursed by?" Mr. Sun said anxiously.
An Rugu's eyes swept across the faint black air floating on Mr. Sun's body: "The art of annihilation."
"The art of annihilation?" Mr. Sun was confused when he heard the unfamiliar word: "What is this?"
"There is a book in this world called Lu Ban Jing. Lu Ban Jing records the art of Yan Sheng. You have been cursed by the art of Yan Sheng."
Everyone knows about Lu Ban Jing, but no one knows the truth about it. The Lu Ban Jing that was passed down is very incomplete, and the real Lu Ban Jing has long been lost. It is said that only the direct descendants of Lu Ban have the complete version.
The art of Yan Sheng is not a Taoist technique, but a kind of witchcraft.
Their history can be traced back thousands of years. It is said that during the Western Han Dynasty, the favorite ministers of Emperor Wu sent people to bury wooden men in the palace, using the art of witchcraft to cause Emperor Wu's brothers to kill each other. Emperor Wu was so angry that he killed more than 100,000 people. Empress Chen Ajiao was also deposed because she was involved in the witchcraft in the harem.
It is unknown whether the historical data is true or not, but An Rugu knows that the art of exorcism is indeed real.
After all, the person in front of him was a textbook example of someone who had fallen victim to a curse.
Lu Ban's name was so familiar that Mr. Sun understood it immediately and asked in confusion: "Isn't Lu Ban a great carpenter who invented the umbrella? How could he come up with such a terrible curse?"
"The art of annoyance is not entirely harmful." An Rugu: "The art of annoyance is divided into the art of annoyance and the art of victory. The former can harm people, while the latter can save people. The art of annoyance is like a knife. What effect the tool has depends entirely on the heart of the user."
Mr. Sun suddenly realized something, and the more he thought about it, the more anxious he became: "Master, since you know this, you should be able to solve it. Please help our people. Otherwise, if this continues, people will panic and the company will definitely be in big trouble."
He remembered what the chairman of the company had told him before, and immediately added: "The chairman knows the rules of your industry. As long as you can help us solve this problem, our company is willing to pay you two million!"
When An Rugu heard the two million yuan reward, she did not get carried away by the money as Mr. Sun thought. She just nodded slightly without changing her expression: "Wait a moment, I'll pack my things and go with you."
The reward is secondary, she wants to see the real art of witchcraft.
An Rugu packed up her things, said something to Shang Yue, asking her to tell those who needed fortune-telling to come back tomorrow, and then followed Mr. Sun to leave Chuyun Temple.
The car drove all the way to Changjiu Real Estate Company in the center of Nancheng. Changjiu Real Estate Company is one of the top three companies in Nancheng. The company has a total of 30 floors, which are magnificently decorated and can accommodate many employees to work at the same time. But now, there are few people inside.
Mr. Sun smiled bitterly, "Since something strange happened in the company, many people have asked for leave to go home. They won't come even if we ask them to. Only some brave people dare to come to work."
In fact, if it weren't for the company, Mr. Sun would not dare to come. After all, the strange nightmare was too terrifying.
.................................................................
Zhang Nuannuan, an employee of Changjiu Company, was also afraid, but she still came to work today.
She put the processed documents on the table, opened the recruitment website on her mobile phone, and decided to have an interview with the HR of the new company tomorrow.
Everyone in the company was in a panic and their minds were restless.
[I'm on leave today, how about you? ]
[I didn't believe that you guys had nightmares before, but I took a nap at work the day before yesterday. Oh my god, it was so weird. I, who never had dreams, actually had a nightmare. When I woke up, my back was soaked with sweat. Who would dare to go to work like this? I wouldn't dare.]
[Zhang Nuannuan from the Finance Department told me that she has to go to work today.]
[@张伟诺, warrior!!! I now know that you are the bravest person in our company. ]
[When will we have dinner? I will reserve the table for the children in advance.]
Zhang Nuannuan: “…”
Zhang Nuannuan was both scared and speechless, and replied: [If I don't go to work, the poor ghosts and hungry ghosts will find me before the ghosts in my dreams. ]
Other employees: [I haven't paid off my Huawei debt yet, and I don't want to take a leave. When will this day end? Is there anyone who can save me? ]
[You guys should check Weibo. Our company's issue has been on the hot list in the city. Many people are discussing it. It should be resolved soon.]
Zhang Nuannuan was very curious and clicked on the link on Weibo. #長長房地产公司闹鬼事件# had already been listed on the hot list in the south city.
Entries
[I heard that Changjiu Real Estate Company is haunted. Do you know what's going on? ]
[Damn, Changjiu Real Estate Company is right in front of my house. That place is haunted. How come I didn't know? ]
[I heard that in order to avoid causing panic, their company specifically asked employees to keep their mouths shut. My brother works there, so I know a little bit about the inside story. It is said that everyone who sleeps in the company will dream of evil spirits demanding their lives, saying that they have done something wrong.]
[If this revelation is not false, it is too horrible. Everyone in the company must have dreamed about it. It is definitely not a coincidence! ]
[Am I the only one who is curious about what the sin is? ]
【Add one, there is no reason for ghosts to harm people for no reason. 】
[Industry insiders say that Changjiu Real Estate has a very bad reputation. The office is full of intrigue and wages are in arrays. It doesn't look like a big company at all. Industry insiders will not go to Changjiu Real Estate unless they have nowhere else to go.]
There were many different opinions online. Zhang Nuannuan took a look and found that most people were just guessing, but a small number of people had some reasonable opinions.
She put down her phone, leaned back heavily in her chair, glanced at the financial statements on the table, and a trace of worry flashed across her eyes.
If things were as she imagined, then everything made sense.
Just as she was lost in thought, she heard a noise. She looked up and saw a group of men and women walking in.
They all wore black uniforms and looked a little dusty, but they were full of energy and righteousness. The leading man was about 30 or 40 years old, with regular features and deep wrinkles on his forehead, which seemed to show that he had experienced a lot.
The person next to him walked up to the man and said, "Captain Li, we're here."
Li Wenzhong hummed, then looked at the two people in the team and said in a deep voice: "Lin Weiyu, Su Lai, the two of you go and see what's going on."
Lin Weiyu and Su Lai immediately nodded in agreement and went their separate ways to look for anything unusual in the building.
The few employees in the office saw this group of strangers and looked at them curiously.
Li Wenzhong consoled them, "We are here to deal with the haunted incident at your company. If you have nothing to do, just leave."
He turned his head and looked at the person next to him. After receiving his hint, the other party immediately organized people to clear the area.
Zhang Nuannuan and others had no choice but to pack up and prepare to leave.
When she was leaving, she looked back curiously, with surprise and relief in her eyes. Although they did not reveal their identities, they looked like officials.
It turns out that the country really has people who deal with metaphysical matters.
That's great, as long as they are here, things will definitely be resolved.
At this time, two more people came outside.
Zhang Nuannuan's eyes fell on the woman, and she quickly covered her mouth, with deep surprise flashing in her eyes. Wow, why did the vice president bring back a beautiful woman?
The vice president seemed quite respectful in his words: "This is our company building. Our main offices are located on the first to twelfth floors, and the chairman is on the top floor."
Zhang Nuannuan couldn't help but took out her phone to take a photo and sent it to the company group: [Oh my god, look! The vice president brought back a beautiful girl! ]
[I thought she was so pretty before I clicked on it, but I didn't expect she was so pretty. Is she a new employee of the company? Then I may never be late for work again. ]
[Zhang Nuannuan: I think the vice president is very polite to her. Maybe she is a relative of the vice president.]
Just as everyone was guessing An Rugu's identity, a reply suddenly appeared in the group of 500 people: [Fuck, I was wondering why she looked so familiar. She is a fortune teller on the Shark platform. She is very popular recently. I often see screenshots of her live broadcasts on the Shark forum. ]
Zhang Nuannuan and other employees of the company: “???”
The Internet spreads information very quickly. An Rugu is now a little famous. Before long, the news of her appearance at Changjiu Real Estate Company spread throughout the Shark Forum.
At the same time, An Rugu and Changjiu Company were also on the hot search in the same city - #Metaphysics Anchor Appears in Changjiu Real Estate#, attracting a large number of onlookers.
................................
An Rugu didn't know that her fame was growing rapidly. She followed Vice President Sun into the company building and met a young man in a black uniform: "Excuse me, the company is busy now, please don't get close."
Vice President Sun: “???”
Isn't this his company?
How come he is not allowed to enter the company after coming back from a trip?
Vice President Sun pointed at himself and said, "I am the vice president here, not just anybody else. The person next to me is a master I invited to deal with the haunted matter."
The man glanced at An Rugu after hearing this, his expression became cautious, he took out his cell phone and called his superior, after hanging up the phone he nodded: "Then come in."
An Rugu looked at the watch on the man's hand and praised it, "It's a nice watch."
The man was stunned when he heard this, and subconsciously raised his hand to cover the watch, trying to cover it up.
Vice President Sun turned his head and took a look, a little confused: "This watch is not a brand watch."
The watch the man was wearing was a mechanical watch. It was very old in style and even looked a bit broken. It was not at all good.
Mr. Sun couldn't help but think that the master's vision didn't seem to be very good...
But the man looked at An Rugu with a completely different look, and his tone was even more polite than before: "Our captain is inside, please follow me."
In fact, his seemingly ordinary watch is a magical instrument with multiple spells built in. Once the button is pressed, the offensive spells inside will be activated, causing great damage to ghosts and other evil spirits.
There was a talisman inside the watch that could conceal one's aura, but unexpectedly An Rugu saw through it at a glance.
This master seems to be a true master.
An Rugu then walked inside, and Vice President Sun also wanted to follow him in, but the man stopped him outside the door with his hand.
Vice President Sun was stunned for a moment, then he reacted and felt aggrieved: "Why can she go in but I can't? You, why do you treat me differently?"
He is obviously the vice president of this company!
The man explained calmly, "For your safety, don't get close."
Upon hearing this, Vice President Sun had no choice but to leave in disappointment.
The man brought An Rugu to Li Wenzhong and whispered to her for a while. Li Wenzhong's eyes changed slightly when he looked at An Rugu.
He took the initiative to extend his hand to An Rugu and introduced himself: "Hello, I am Li Wenzhong, the captain of the first team of the Special Case Management Department."
An Rugu shook his hand and said, "I am the current manager of Chuyun Temple."
"Izumo Temple?" Li Wenzhong thought about the famous Taoist temples nearby, but he had no impression of Izumo Temple. He said honestly, "I have never heard of it."
An Rugu did not forget to promote Chuyun Temple at this time: "Chuyun Temple is in Tangchi Village, Nancheng. It is small in scale, but effective. If you want to burn incense, you can go to Chuyun Temple."
Li Wenzhong smiled and thought this guy was really interesting. He readily agreed, "Okay."
At this time, the two people who had just gone to investigate came back holding a compass.
Lin Weiyu frowned. This was the first time she encountered such a tricky magic. "The energy here is very chaotic. The compass stopped working when it entered this place. I really can't find the talisman."
People need to use mediums such as puppets, knives with long hair, nails, etc. If you can't find the medium, you can't break the magic.
Su Lai next to him was a little anxious: "The energy in this place is really chaotic. I can't even summon the gods. No one responds to me. I don't know what to do."
Upon hearing this, Li Wenzhong frowned, a little bit incredulous.
Throughout the ages, metaphysical methods are often in the hands of metaphysical families and are never passed on to others. After the Special Events Management Bureau was established, it took a lot of effort and resources to recruit some talents from metaphysical families.
Lin Weiyu and Su Lai are among the best and have almost never failed.
It seems that nightmare is not simple.
While he was lost in thought, An Rugu walked around the company, looking around and gesturing with her hands in front of her eyes.
An Rugu was wearing plain clothes, which was completely different from the uniformed special management bureau personnel. Many people looked at her quietly, curious about what An Rugu was doing.
They were dispatched this time because of a haunted incident, which had to be dealt with as quickly as possible, so they got together to discuss it, hoping to brainstorm and come up with a plan.
They were busy as hell.
However, at this moment, An Rugu seemed to have gotten some answer, and walked up to Li Wenzhong, who was now a little distressed: "I know where the talisman is."
Everyone: “!!!”
"Is this true?" Li Wenzhong's hands trembled, and the cigarette in his mouth almost fell to the ground: "Where is the talisman?"
Lin Weiyu and Su Lai were both missing, but we actually have some clues about the Taoist priest of this unknown Taoist temple?
An Rugu stretched out his index finger neatly, and under everyone's expectant gaze, he turned it around and pointed it at his feet: "The talisman is under my feet."
Everyone followed her gaze and saw that they were now on the first floor. Under the feet of the first floor... was it underground?
"How do you know?" Li Wenzhong asked curiously.
An Rugu: "The energy there is the strongest."
In her eyes, the world is completely different from what others see. There is a huge black vortex under the building, which constantly emits black gas, which surges up to the upper floors and surrounds everyone.
Seeing that everyone was still confused, she couldn't help but lower her eyes and think: "So you can't see those energies."
Li Wenzhong and others: "..."
I feel like I'm being mocked...
An Rugu didn't mean to mock, she was just thinking about her own abilities. She met some Xuanmen people last time, and now she met the Guan family. To be honest, she could see that their strength and means were a little bit different from hers.
A few days ago, Shang Yue asked her why the Five Emperors' coins she made were so much more powerful than ordinary Five Emperors' coins.
Now she suddenly realized that... she was very strong!
Li Wenzhong didn't quite believe that the other party was so powerful, but at least it was a clue, so he arranged for someone to go and take a look: "Do you have a specific location?"
An Rugu found a piece of paper and placed it on the floor as an anchor point: "The talisman is twenty meters down from here."
Changjiu Real Estate Company is thirty stories high, so of course the foundation is dug very deep, which is very difficult and cannot be done in a short time.
And if you want to carry out such a large-scale excavation, you need to communicate with the relevant departments and companies.
Li Wenzhong thanked An Rugu and said that he would dig according to her ideas, then left a contact number for An Rugu for future contact.
An Rugu packed up her things and turned to leave amid the curious or surprised gazes of the crowd.
She walked out the door and looked into the distance, and suddenly found that Vice President Sun had not left, but was still in the car at the door.
When he saw An Rugu coming out, his eyes lit up and he quickly stuck his head out of the car window: "Master, has the curse been resolved?"
An Rugu shook his head slightly: "The talisman is under your company building and it cannot be dug out now."
"What should we do?" Vice President Sun said anxiously, "Master, please solve the problem first before leaving."
An Rugu turned around and looked in the direction of the company: "Someone is already in your company dealing with the haunted matter. Once the talisman is dug up, they will also take care of it."
Vice President Sun thought of the group of well-trained men in black uniforms and felt a little more reliable, and finally relaxed.
But when he thought of the talisman under the building, he became angrier and angrier, and kept cursing: "Which villain is plotting this kind of conspiracy under the nose of our company? It really disgusts me. Is he crazy? What kind of person is he..."
An Rugu looked at his face carefully, his temperament became more and more aloof, and his tone gradually became cold: "You really don't know the source of this matter?"
Vice President Sun was about to say that he didn't know, but suddenly he seemed to remember something, and when he opened his mouth he was speechless. He gradually became a little guilty and short of breath, and after a long time he said, "I, I really don't know."
An Rugu ignored him and walked away with big strides. The flowing wind carried her words to Vice President Sun's ears: "... You reap what you sow."
Vice President Sun, who stayed where he was, became more and more frightened. He couldn't help but raise his hands to hug himself tightly. After thinking for a while, he took out his cell phone and called the chairman: "Chairman, the master is here. She said that the talisman is downstairs in the company... Could it be that group of people who did this?"
The chairman on the other end of the phone was stunned for a while, then he understood and kept gritting his teeth.
Who else could have stuffed things underground except the construction workers they hired?
The chairman raised his hand to hang up the phone, looking worried, and suddenly remembered something.
The real estate business has been tough in recent years, and their company looks prosperous, but in fact, it is burning out. In addition to the constant layoffs, it is worth mentioning that their company has owed workers two years' salary.
Previously, many workers gathered to demand their wages, but they were sent back and the matter did not become a big deal.
This is the third year of back pay…and the first year they moved into the new building.
.........................................
An Rugu returned to Izumo Temple and opened her mobile phone. Suddenly, she found that some people who had added her contact information had sent her private messages, congratulating her on becoming a trending topic.
An Rugu opened her Weibo account and found that her visit to Changjiu Real Estate had been exposed online. Now many people were curious about whether Changjiu Real Estate was haunted, and they all came to her Weibo to ask.
The number of fans on Weibo has increased from dozens to nearly ten thousand.
[Can the host tell me what happened to Changjiu Real Estate? I am so curious that I feel like a kitten is scratching my heart. ]
[I worked with Changjiu Company for a while before. Their company had a bad reputation and I heard that they even owed us wages.]
…
An Rugu counted on his fingers and felt that there was nothing he couldn't say, so he forwarded the last Weibo post about the wage arrears and sent a comment: [Every wrong has its perpetrator and every debt has its creditor, Changjiu Company will definitely go bankrupt this year. ]
Many netizens: “!!!”
[How dare the anchor criticize such a big company on the spot? Is this something you can say? ]
[You must be kidding. Changjiu Real Estate is so big, how could it go bankrupt? ]
[For the sake of local economy and employment rate, the government will try to save the company as long as it is not beyond saving. Besides, even if a long-term company goes bankrupt, it is impossible for it to go bankrupt so quickly.]
An Rugu didn't read the comments on the Internet. Anyway, this is what she saw as fate. If no one is powerful enough to help Changjiu Company change its fate, then Changjiu Company will not last long.
At this time, Shang Yue came in holding a plate of things: "I bought what you wanted."
An Rugu took it and looked at it. It turned out to be the cinnabar and yellow paper that she had asked Shang Yue to buy.
"Thank you very much."
She stood up and walked towards the main hall. Now that the things have been bought, let's draw the spell now.
Any metaphysical method can be attributed to the use of energy, and drawing talismans is to obtain energy by praying to gods.
She lit three incense sticks to all the gods worshipped in Yunguan. After all, she needed to borrow energy and could not come empty-handed.
Then, she came to a quiet courtyard with no one around. Matters involving the gods were private. If someone was peeping, the gods would be unlikely to lend their energy and the spell would be unlikely to succeed.
She picked up the brush, dipped it in cinnabar, and waited quietly for the arrival of the energy.
Suddenly, my fingertips seemed to be pricked by something, and a mysterious feeling rose from my heart, and a slight sense of energy spread from my fingertips to my whole body.
The feeling of energy is coming!
The tip of the brush fell on the yellow paper. From the beginning to the end of the stroke, there was no unnecessary movement and it was done in one go.
However, the meaning of "doing it in one breath" is not continuous strokes, but continuous sense of energy.
There were complicated symbols on the yellow paper. When she finally picked up the pen, the cinnabar seemed to be flowing from where she put the pen to where it ended. When it reached the end, a golden light suddenly flashed on the surface of the cinnabar.
When I looked again, Zhusha had returned to his previous appearance.
Amulet, it’s done!
In fact, not all talismans are drawn with yellow paper and cinnabar. The most common colors of talismans are red and yellow.
Some blessing charms, such as peach blossom charms and luck charms, are in red, written on red paper with a brush dipped in ink. Yellow is generally used to ward off evil spirits and eliminate disasters, such as the peace charm she drew.
An Rugu thought about it and drew several other talismans. After all, it is better to be prepared in case the customers need them.
She drew the talisman, walked out of the yard, and found that there were still people burning incense in the Taoist temple.
She was about to walk by, but after taking a look at the other person's face, she walked towards the middle-aged man.
"Want to buy a charm?"
...........................................
Li Changzong had just finished lighting the incense, and was stunned when he heard this, somewhat resisting: "Ah, no way."
Li Changzong heard about the Wang family a few days ago and was particularly curious about Chuyun Temple. Today, he passed by here to do some business and suddenly felt excited and wanted to burn a stick of incense.
Unexpectedly, after burning incense, I was asked to buy talismans.
This is a little different from the master he imagined who was not interested in fame and fortune.
"Really not buying it?" An Rugu picked up a peace amulet, and the complicated symbols on it were revealed to Li Changzong: "This peace amulet can keep you safe for once."
Li Changzong originally wanted to refuse. After all, he was well off everywhere now, so why would he need to buy a talisman?
But when he looked intently at the blood-like cinnabar, he suddenly felt moved.
Mr. and Mrs. Wang Jianguo highly recommend Izumo Temple. I haven’t heard that they bought talismans. Why don’t you bring one for them?
He convinced himself and took out his phone: "How much?"
An Rugu: "Five thousand."
Li Changzong was not short of money, so he transferred the money after scanning the code and casually put the talisman into his pocket.
His driver was waiting at the bottom of the mountain to take him home.
.............................................
The sky in the suburbs was gradually getting dark, filled with gloomy fog, and the mountains in the distance were so high that they blocked out the sun.
Li Changzong sat in the back seat of the car, covering his head. He was a little tipsy from having two drinks at the party, so he leaned back in his chair and took a nap.
Suddenly, a chill came over him, waking him up from the cold. Li Changzong asked in confusion, "Why is it so cold? Xiao Zhang, don't turn the air conditioner down so low."
Xiao Zhang felt a little aggrieved: "I didn't adjust the air conditioner. It was just that a cold wind suddenly blew over just now. I felt a little cold too."
"Then close the window quickly."
Xiao Zhang immediately pressed the button and closed the window.
Li Changzong came back to his senses, glanced out of the corner of his eye, and looked at the street through the car window: "It's been so long and I'm still not home... Hey, why are we still on Dongfeng Road?"
The first place they arrived after leaving Tangchi Village was Dongfeng Road. Dongfeng Road was very short and it only took more than ten minutes to drive to the end.
Xiao Zhang also felt strange. He was driving fast. Normally, he would have reached Li Changzong's house by now. However, they were still halfway on Dongfeng Road. In his eyes, the dark road seemed to have no end.
"Xiao Zhang, drive faster. My wife is waiting for me at home. She must be getting anxious."
"good."
Li Changzong was awakened by the cold wind. He lost all desire to sleep and looked out the window.
There were no stars or moon in the sky, and the dark sky was so gloomy that it seemed to be pressing down on my head. In the distance, the shadows of trees and buildings stood out like monsters in formation.
This road is a major traffic artery and there used to be a lot of vehicles passing through it. However, today there was not a single car, as if it had been reserved by them.
At this moment, the sign of Dongfeng Road that I just passed suddenly came into view.
Li Changzong was stunned when he saw this. His mouth gradually opened wider, his Adam's apple slid up and down, and he swallowed nervously: "Xiao Zhang, did you see the sign for Dongfeng Road just now?"
"No." Xiao Zhang shook his head: "I just turned a corner and I'm already on Nanfeng Road."
Li Changzong pointed out the window with trembling fingers: "Then why did I see the road sign at the intersection of Dongfeng Road just now? Wait, I saw it again!"
"How is that possible? You must have seen it wrong. That's Nanfeng Road." Xiao Zhang retorted subconsciously, and then looked at the road sign in the direction Li Changzong pointed. As a result, the clear "Dongfeng Road" on the sign immediately came into view.
Xiao Zhang was stunned and very shocked. He took great effort to hold the steering wheel tightly. "This Dongfeng Road sign is at the intersection. I remember passing it once just now."
Li Changzong sobered up immediately and picked up his phone tremblingly, only to find that there was no signal at all. My God, didn't the operator claim that the signal coverage was global?
He widened his eyes and recalled the road sign he had just seen. Not only were the words on the two signs the same, but even the position of the broken paint was exactly the same as the old one.
Is this a new type of prank, where people deliberately make identical road signs to trick passers-by?
He was confused and angry. After getting off the bus, he would definitely report this matter to the local street office!
The end of the road opened like a monster with a huge black mouth. The landscape trees rustled, casting mottled shadows and baring their fangs and claws.
Until the car passed the same road sign for the fourth time, the landscape trees on the roadside were exactly the same as before. The panic in their hearts gradually emerged and slowly filled their entire brains.
He finally couldn't bear the growing fear and collapsed in his seat, finally no longer doubting that this was a prank.
The ancient term "ghost wall" appeared in his mind.
Are they trapped here from now on? Li Changzong's eyes were filled with fear. He didn't want to be trapped here, his wife and children were waiting for him to come home!
At this moment, his panicked hand accidentally brushed across his thigh. He looked down and found that his pocket was very bright, as if there was a light bulb installed.
He took out amulet from his trousers with confusion, and the amulet became brighter and brighter.
Seeing this, he was a little scared and couldn't help but throw the glowing amulet away.
As he stared in horror, the amulet that was thrown on the seat lit up from the beginning of the stroke, and the light moved all the way to the end, as if reproducing the process of drawing the amulet. Until finally, the amulet showed a complete symbol shadow.
At this moment, there was a cracking sound, and a faint barrier appeared in the sky, as if it was gradually shattering from the edge.
Li Changzong and Xiao Zhang felt dazed, the light and shadows changed, and it was as if a veil was lifted before their eyes.
"How did I drive to the edge of the guardrail!" Xiao Zhang saw the situation clearly, slammed on the brakes and said in shock.
Li Changzong looked at the guardrail in front of him. Behind the guardrail was a cliff of several dozen meters, and under the cliff was a huge lake.
The car was only two meters away from the guardrail.
The car had driven to the edge of the cliff. If it didn't stop, what would be waiting for them would be a fall into the lake, with the car destroyed and everyone killed.
Li Changzong suddenly realized something and turned to look at the amulet next to him. Unknowingly, the amulet spontaneously ignited without wind and turned into a handful of ashes in just a few seconds.
