Chapter 11: Blocking the Road and Asking for Seal

After I put down the phone, I breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that working in a funeral parlor was beneficial. The manager approved the job without asking any questions.

"Hey! Xiaotong, where do you work now? Are you interested in coming to my construction site? My construction site is hiring people now."

Liu Sheng glanced at me from the rearview mirror and asked, I curled my lips, put my hands behind my head and said disdainfully: "Tch! How much money can you make in that day? My current job is 800 days a day and 4 days off."

sky."

"Are you a liar? How can there be such a good job? What are you doing?"

"Funeral caretaker, how's that going?"

"What?! Funeral parlor?"

Liu Sheng was startled, and the car stalled immediately when the accelerator was accelerator. The two of them looked at me in astonishment, their eyes were indescribably weird, and it made me feel uncomfortable all over.

I looked at the two of them blankly and asked, "What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Why did you go to work in that kind of place? I heard that that kind of place is not clean. My sister-in-law advises you to leave early." Xiaolan said with a worried look.

I was stunned when I heard this, and then I thought that I was earning money from dead people. Ordinary people have always stayed away from this kind of work. No wonder they all looked at me like that.

Liu Sheng looked at me with a complicated expression and asked, "Why do you think of doing that kind of job? Why don't you quit and follow me! It's really not good to do that kind of job."

"No, no, I have my own ideas about where to go to work, so you don't have to worry about it. Just leave quickly! You won't be able to catch up with the old lady in a while."

I quickly waved my hand and changed the topic. Seeing my persistence, Liu Sheng stopped insisting. He sighed and restarted the car.

After walking for a while, Liu Sheng couldn't help but started to complain: "Did this old lady have four legs? How come it's only been so long, and how come you can't even see her figure?"

"Don't be impatient, just go ahead and take a look."

I patted Liu Sheng on the shoulder and comforted him softly, then frowned slightly and leaned on the car window and looked back and forth.

We were walking on a path along the mountainside. Except for our car lights, everything was pitch black and it was completely silent. There was not even the sound of insects or birds, which made it look very eerie and eerie.

In fact, I was a little embarrassed in my heart. Logically speaking, no matter how fast the old lady walked, she couldn't go faster than a four-wheeled car. But we didn't see the old lady again along the way. What was going on? Did she disappear out of thin air?

?

Liu Sheng nodded, took a deep breath and started to concentrate on driving.

After driving for about ten minutes, it was getting dark.

In the Eastern Province, it usually gets dark earlier. There are only one or two months of warm weather every year. Especially now that it is December, it gets dark earlier.

"Hey! Young man, do you think I am a human or a god?"

Suddenly a sharp and harsh sound came to my ears. I was stunned and looked at Liu Sheng and Xiaolan in confusion. The two of them also looked at me.

"Did...did you hear a sound?"

My voice was trembling slightly, and I felt like I had heard that sentence somewhere, but I just couldn't remember it.

Liu Sheng and Xiaolan looked at each other, and then nodded heavily. In an instant, the three of us were standing on our heads, sweating in layers.

"Ah! Old lady!"

Just when I took out my phone to check, Xiaolan suddenly screamed and pointed forward in horror.

With a bang, the car hit something unknown and stopped directly in the middle of the road. I also slammed into the driver's seat, causing my head to explode.

"Holy crap! What's going on?"

I sat up and rubbed my forehead and looked at the two people who were stunned. Liu Sheng looked back at me mechanically, pointed to the front tremblingly and said: "Xiao... Xiaotong, I... we seem to have bumped into someone."

"Human? We didn't see even a single ghost figure along the way. Where did this person come from? Could you have seen it wrong?"

"Okay...she seems to be an old woman." Xiaolan said with a trembling body.

Liu Sheng and I looked at each other in shock. We didn't see a single person along the way. How could the old lady suddenly appear in front of our car?

There was still a trace of panic in Liu Sheng's eyes. He looked at me and asked uncertainly: "Xiaotong, do you want... to go down and take a look?"

"You guys wait in the car, I'll go down and take a look."

I thought for a moment, then opened the door and got out of the car. After all, I write about supernatural beings, so I am a little braver than ordinary people.

I walked around the car, climbed under the car and took a look, but found nothing.

When I got back to the car, Liu Sheng asked me quickly, "How was it? How was it? Is it that old lady?"

"No, there's nothing around or under the car." I shook my head and looked at Xiaolan and asked, "Sister-in-law, did you see it wrong?"

"It's impossible. I can see clearly that she is the old woman."

Xiaolan shrank and shook her head, then turned to look at me and asked weakly: "We won't really encounter a ghost, right?"

I didn't answer her words, but thought deeply. Seeing that what they said was so realistic and didn't seem to be fake, I was a little shaken.

Although I write about weird things, I am only half-convinced about the theory of ghosts and gods, but what happened now has forced me to change my previous views.

Because I suddenly remembered what that sound was, the folk legend of Huang Pizi asking for a seal.

But what puzzles me is why they all saw the old lady, but my brother didn't see anything, he just heard a sharp sound.

I once heard an old man say that if Huang Pizi wants to achieve enlightenment, he must go through the last hurdle, which is to ask an unknown passerby if he looks like a human or a god.

If passers-by say that he is like a god, then Huangpizi will be able to achieve righteousness and repay the passers-by.

If passers-by say he looks like a human being, then hundreds of years of Taoism will disappear in one day, and Huang Pizi will have to practice cultivation again. Huang Pizi will try every means to get revenge because of his character of repaying flaws.
