Taoism on the tip of the tongue

Chapter 51 The fifth water chestnut

Report from our newspaper: This afternoon, a man surnamed Qian in this city led the crowd to smash the Wenchang Emperor Temple in anger.It is reported that the man had donated 200 million yuan to repair the temple before, but later found that this temple was not the real temple of the emperor, but a temple of evil gods, and he was deeply deceived.After angrily calling the police, Qian still felt that his anger was difficult to dissipate, so he did this behavior.According to the reporter's interview, Qian will invest in the construction of a real Wenchang Emperor Temple at the original site for tourists and nearby villagers to pray and worship.

Qian Huan really smashed the temple.

When Gu Changsheng saw the news, he was a little dumbfounded.Before, I thought Qian Huan was speaking out of anger. After all, in terms of the dilapidated condition of the temple, it doesn't make any difference whether it is smashed or not.

It was already broken, and because of his fight with the gray mouse, it could still be seen that it was a temple building before, but now it is in ruins.

"I asked the police who came to deal with the aftermath, and they all said it's okay to smash it. Because the temple has been occupied by gray rats for too long, and the evil spirit has polluted the temple. Even if I don't smash it, they will find someone to come and demolish it." On the phone, Qian Huan said in a proud tone that I am cooperating with the police and the people and lightening the burden on the people's police: "The police said that they would use the sun for a year or two, and the land would not be used until the evil spirits disappeared. But I heard from him that the main reason is that there is not enough funds. Otherwise, a new temple can be built directly on it, and the remaining evil spirits can be suppressed and dispelled by the power of incense, and it will also prevent children from running there mischievously during the sun exposure. Playing, being entangled by evil spirits."

Even though notices were posted nearby, and the village chief warned people from door to door not to approach, there were always people who would not listen.Especially children, they don't think about danger or not, they just think it's spacious and they can play better.Not to mention children, even some adults are unreliable.

"A policeman said that he had handled a similar case before. After solving the case, before he went back, he told everyone not to get close. Who knows that something happened within two days. There are two The young man fought in the field, but he was bewitched. He found a bunch of sorceresses to dance to the immortal, but it didn't work. Finally, he invited the eminent monks of Fahua Temple to help, and the matter was resolved smoothly. Afterwards, I asked the two young men why , the other party hesitated for a long time, and then said it, just to stimulate." What do you call this, risking your life to stimulate.That is indeed exciting enough!

This kind of self-destruction is fine, and death deserves it.But some children really don't understand. They are young and don't understand what danger is.In order to prevent someone from being victimized innocently like a great god, Qian Huan finally decided to pay out of his own pocket.Anyway, the previous 200 million has not had time to spend much, and some more money will be enough.

"It's just that I have to go to my dad's company to work for him. I don't have time this month. I can't play with you and the great god." Speaking of this, Qian Huan's regret was overflowing.It's a pity that although his father promised to give the money, he refused to give it in vain no matter what he said, and insisted on paying off the debt with his work.He just said how his father has been so generous recently, he insisted on staying so well, he dared to have a trick, waiting for him here!

Qian Huan is extremely envious of Gu Changsheng, who has economic freedom and can go wherever he wants.Gu Changsheng, who was envied by him, felt a little wrong while sitting on the bus: "Let's talk next time, I have something to do."

Hearing Gu Changsheng's cautious tone, Qian Huan didn't think the words were perfunctory, but hung up the phone very quickly.

The last time he heard Gu Changsheng speak in this tone was when he faced the evil gods and asked them to bring out walnuts.God knows what's going on with Master Gu now, it's okay for Qian Huan to feel that he can't help, but he can't cause trouble for Master Gu and delay him from saving the world.

Really save the world.

It was only ten o'clock in the morning, and it was far from the time for office workers to get off work and students to leave school, so there were not many people in the car, just a few uncles and aunts sitting here and there.Among a group of elderly people, there is a middle-aged man in the middle, who looks very conspicuous.Gu Changsheng had been on the phone with Qian Huan just now and didn't notice it. After the conversation was almost over, he accidentally glanced over and noticed something was wrong.

That middle-aged man is not alive.

Although he looks like a living person.Even when the driver slams on the brakes, his body will subconsciously lean forward with inertia.

"Where are you going today? Nanhu Park?" An old man with a Tai Chi sword in his hand asked an old lady with a square dancing fan in her hand.The old lady heard the words and said: "Isn't that right, how about you, come with me? I remember that there are also people practicing swords in the park."

Hearing the old man's question, the middle-aged man sitting opposite the old man thought the old man was asking him, so he quickly replied: "No, I'm going to the procuratorate."

It wasn't until the old man and the old lady chatted that the middle-aged man realized that the other party wasn't talking to him, so he closed his mouth a little embarrassingly, with an embarrassed expression on his face.

Obviously, looking at the appearance of the middle-aged man, he didn't realize that he was dead, otherwise he wouldn't have these manifestations.Gu Changsheng saw the man's actions, and suddenly had a plan in his mind.

When he decided to get out of the car, he did a good job.Let the middle-aged man understand the current situation earlier, so as not to miss the first seven days of saying goodbye to his family and reincarnation.

For this reason, Gu Changsheng deliberately got off at the same stop as him.

Follow the middle-aged man to get off the station, and follow the middle-aged man to walk forward.

In the eyes of others, Gu Changsheng's behavior was very normal, that is, he got out of the car by himself and walked by himself.But from the middle-aged man's point of view, Gu Changsheng is an unknown person who has been following him and never letting him go.

Seeing that there were fewer and fewer people around, Gu Changsheng still had no intention of leaving.The middle-aged man finally couldn't take it anymore: "How long are you going to follow me?"

"Are you sent by that grandson of Sun Zhenbang?" The middle-aged man said angrily, "I knew he was not a good guy. He said those words just to appease me, not to do things for the villagers sincerely."

"The more they behave like this, the more I have to report with my real name until the higher-ups notice it or they rectify it. Let me tell you, young man, one should not only live for oneself, but also think about future generations. You can't do it for a while You are foolish enough to help the evildoers." The middle-aged man spoke earnestly, looking at Gu Changsheng with pain in his eyes.

Gu Changsheng was a little dumbfounded by what he said, no, it's pretty good, why did he help the evildoers?

Gu Changsheng did not speak, the middle-aged man thought he would not repent, and he was not in a hurry to go to the procuratorate immediately, and made up his mind to bring this young man back: "The footwear factory really can't stay, their industry The wastewater was not treated at all, and was directly discharged into the river, which caused great damage to the ecological environment of several nearby villages, and also affected everyone's health."

"Grandma Hao in the neighboring village, you know? She just ate vegetables irrigated with river water, and she was poisoned by heavy metals, so she almost couldn't be rescued. And Li Mingfa in the back village also ate fish and shrimp in the river, and got chromium poisoning." , if it hadn't been discovered early, there would be no one here."

"Young man, I haven't seen you in the village, and I don't know which village you are from. But you are young and have read a lot. You must know more than me, an old farmer, and you should understand the seriousness of pollution better. "

"Okay, you go back quickly, the sun is getting bigger and bigger." All that needs to be said has been said, and it is up to him whether he wakes up or not.Afraid of delaying the get off work of the people in the procuratorate, the middle-aged man was about to leave, so he walked quickly to the gate of the procuratorate.

Only then did Gu Changsheng figure out what happened. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and quickly stopped him: "No, brother, you misunderstood me. I wasn't sent by anyone."

"Really?" The middle-aged man stopped, and looked at Gu Changsheng with some doubts: "It wasn't Sun Jianbang who sent me to stop me, so why have you been following me?" It couldn't be just to ask for directions!How can anyone ask for directions and follow the National People's Congress for half a street without asking the exit.

Gu Changsheng didn't answer him, but instead asked tentatively: "Brother, you didn't feel a little uncomfortable when you walked under the sun?"

"Uncomfortable, why don't you feel uncomfortable?" The middle-aged man didn't hear Gu Changsheng's implication, and complained: "This damn weather, it's almost autumn and it's still so hot. Walking under the sun on a hot day, can you not feel uncomfortable? I There is no other way!" He would rather stay at home with the air conditioner on and eat watermelon than go out in the sun.But someone has to do it, someone has to stop it, and the shoe factory can no longer be allowed to go on rampant.Who knows what more terrible consequences will be caused if the sewage is discharged again!

Well, this big brother took the ghost body's inability to adapt to the sun as the hot weather.So dull to this point, no wonder he didn't even notice when he died.Gu Changsheng stopped beating around the bush: "Brother, look at your feet."

Hearing Gu Changsheng's words, the middle-aged man looked down at his feet with a puzzled face: "What's wrong with my feet? It's fine!"

"Wait, where's my shadow?" The middle-aged man finally realized something was wrong.How can a person walk under the sun without a shadow.

The middle-aged man has also heard many ghost stories before. In all the stories, only ghosts can disappear.But if he's dead now, no one should be able to see him, let alone talk to him.Thinking of this, the middle-aged man heaved a sigh of relief, thinking that it should be because the sun was just directly above his head that he couldn't cast a shadow.

Don't scare yourself.The middle-aged man comforted himself.

"You're already dead." Gu Changsheng didn't give him a chance to hide from the truth.

"I'm dead, I'm dead," the middle-aged man repeated these words over and over again, halfway through, he suddenly squatted down and covered his head.

After a long while, after enduring the severe pain, the middle-aged man let go of his hands and stood up. He smiled wryly at Gu Changsheng, "Thank you, Master. I've already remembered." He was indeed dead.

Died in the river in the village.

A few days ago, after he reported the village party secretary and Zuxiaxing shoe factory from the procuratorate, he was stopped by the village party secretary Sun Zhenbang on the way back when he was returning.Sun Zhenbang didn't know where he got the news. Knowing that he went to the urban area to report them with his real name, he brought five or six tall shoe factory employees to guard him on his way home, preparing to teach him a lesson.

"Do you still dare to do it in the future? Let me tell you, mind your own business!"

"It's all about getting rich, you're the only one who is stubborn. The big guy is making money, so don't think about destroying our money."

"Destroying people's wealth is like killing parents. This is a life-and-death enmity! If there is another time, it will not be a matter of beating up."

"If there is another time, don't take your leg. I'll see how you can report it if you don't have a leg. Are you going in a wheelchair? I can't see this village."

Speaking of this, a group of people laughed.

After being surrounded and beaten by a group of big men, it was hard for the middle-aged man to escape while the others were laughing.Who knew that they didn't want to let him go so easily, Sun Jianbang took the lead, led others, and chased after him with a big stick in his hand.

The middle-aged man was already seriously injured, but after being chased by them like this, he was in a panic.It was dark, and he couldn't see clearly ahead for a while, and fell into the river.

The river was very deep, but the place he stepped into was shallow water, and he could have saved himself without any accident.But those who chased him thought it was very interesting, so they drove him into the water with a wooden stick, and insisted on not letting him out.

Then, he never got up again.
