After hearing what the old man said, I became interested. In fact, don't think about Taoist priests being too magical. Some things are just like the police solving crimes. You always have to collect clues from all aspects to find the key to the matter.

The Heavenly Eye is indeed very useful. Not to mention that not all Taoist priests can open the Heavenly Eye. Even if the Heavenly Eye is opened, the most you can see is that the aura here is not right. If you don't find the key place, you can't see the spirit body.

Only when the celestial eye reaches a higher level can it penetrate numerous barriers. For example, it can put aside real objects, such as walls, and see the essential aura and energy.

I asked myself that I still don’t have that skill, let alone this is an office building with more than 20 floors. There are no clues. Do I have to find them one by one? The spirit’s thinking is still there. If it deliberately avoids me, then I will still waste time.

The effort is great.

Therefore, this old man is my first breakthrough. I must have a chat with him.

Thinking about it, I took out a pack of cigarettes from my pocket and handed it to the old man. Over the years, I have become more and more addicted to smoking, and I always have two packs of cigarettes on me. Besides, I have to keep vigil here today, so I especially brought more.

One pack, I didn’t expect it to come in handy so quickly.

Unexpectedly, the old man took a firm stand. When I handed over the cigarette, he stuffed it back into my hand without even looking at it. He said: "No reward for no merit. If something is lost in this office building, I will pay for it."

No need to blame, just go away, what are you doing here?"

Su Rou is speechless. Do you dare to think of us as thieves who want to steal something?

He directly took out his mobile phone and dialed An Yu's number. After saying a few words, he handed the mobile phone to the old man guarding the door. The old man took the mobile phone with some doubts. He was probably thinking about thieves these days.

Can I use my mobile phone too?

After all, in 1999, although mobile phones were not considered a luxury item, not everyone could afford them.

I don’t know what An Yu said to the old man over the phone. In short, when he returned the phone to Surou, he was already very respectful, but this is not what I wanted, so I still gave him the cigarette.

He met the old man and said: "You're welcome. To be honest, we are here to solve the problem of this office building. So, if you know anything, just tell us. No matter what you know, is it right?"

Taixuan, we all believe it."

The old man hesitated for a while, probably because he cherished this job too much, and finally said: "Come in and talk about it, my post in this building is the cleanest, even standing outside is not clean.

."

I felt it carefully and didn't know what it was like outside, but I still followed the instructions and squeezed into the guard box outside the door.

The guard booth was not big, and three grown men were crowded inside, which seemed very crowded, but no one paid attention. The old man opened the pack of cigarettes I handed him, lit one, and then said to us: "Don't believe it."

My place is clean and there are no diamonds, so how can I get a porcelain job? In this ten-mile radius, no one but me would dare to keep vigil for this building."

I took a sip of tea with a smile and asked: "Uncle, what's your last name? Why do you say you are the only one within ten miles who dares to come to watch the night?"

"My surname is Chang, Chang Shuicheng. I am already sixty this year. If my younger son hadn't been in college and needed money, I wouldn't have wanted to do this job. Ordinary people would have died of fear here if they wanted to do it. More than ten years ago, this

Yiyierba is still a village, and I am born and raised in this village.

People, why do I dare to watch the night alone? That's because my grandfather used to be a Taoist priest, and I know some taboos, and my grandfather also left something, which is what protects me throughout the night.

Peace." The old man said slowly.

After hearing this, Su Rou winked at me, meaning that I had met a colleague.

I kept my cool and just asked: "Uncle Chang, is your grandfather a very powerful and famous Taoist priest?"

"I'm not very powerful or famous. I just do some rituals for the villagers. But when my grandfather was young, he met a Taoist priest and taught him some things, so he could deal with ordinary rituals and some small things.

That's enough. The Taoist priest also gave my grandfather a statue. I brought it here. This is the key to keeping me safe." Obviously, my pack of cigarettes had an effect. Old man Chang couldn't even do this.

All the past events were told to me.

I stood up, looked around, and then said to Old Man Chang, "Can you show me this statue of yours?"

Statues of gods are generally required to be enshrined. I was surprised that there were no statues of gods at this post, so I asked out of curiosity.

Old man Chang didn't hesitate, he just pulled out a rope from his neck, and what was hanging on the rope was a statue of a god? After getting permission from old man Chang, I took the statue in my hand.

In this day and age, there are many people who carry Guanyin and Buddha, but there are very few people who carry Taoist statues. According to Taoism, there are many gods, and their respective fields are also different. If a complete altar is set up, the gods can be arranged in several rows.

Ordinary people generally know about Sanqing.

This old man's statue is made of wood. Not surprisingly, he is also the moral deity of the Three Pure Ones, that is, Taishang Laojun. There is nothing special about it, but I can tell at a glance that the personal carving style of this wooden statue is too obvious.

, if my judgment is correct, it should have been carved by the Taoist priest that Grandpa Chang met back then.

If you close your eyes and feel it, you can still feel the energy attached to the statue. It is a gentle personal energy, that is, personal power is attached to it, but it is very, very thin.

To put it bluntly, this is a deity that has been consecrated by a Taoist. It can also be regarded as a hanging. It is far from the statue that I imagined with a trace of the will of the gods.

After playing with it for a while, I returned the statue to Old Man Chang. Taoist consecration is not easy, but when it comes to warding off evil spirits, it is the most powerful. It seems that Old Man Chang really relies on this statue to stay safe.

A statue of a god has already made me care about it. You must know that the Taoist consecrated object needs to be warmed and maintained for many years. It cannot be truly consecrated in just one ritual. Once it is consecrated, the spiritual power will definitely be deeply attached to the consecrated object.

If the body is not consumed, it will not dissipate for hundreds of years, but is this the statue of old man Chang?

If my guess is correct, the consecration power of this statue was consumed in this office building, but this still needs to be confirmed.

After playing with the old man's statue for a while, I returned the statue to Old Man Chang, and then asked: "Old man, have you ever encountered anything strange before?"

"What can I encounter? If I take this with me, I won't be afraid of going to the cemetery at night. The weirdest things in my life are all here." The old man Chang took a puff of cigarette.

Su Rou asked very positively: "Please tell me in detail, you know we are here to solve this problem."

The old man Chang glanced at Surou and I with suspicion, probably thinking that we were too young, but he was not the boss and couldn't control that much. After being silent for a while, he pinched the cigarette butt and said

: "If you really want to listen, it doesn't matter if I talk about it. Ordinarily, I shouldn't talk about 'them' here. Generally, if you do, you will get entangled. I am willing to take the risk now, relying on the statues of my ancestors."

The old man was so verbose that he just didn't say anything. How could a person like Su Rou not understand this? He quickly took out 500 yuan from his bag, stuffed it into the old man's hand, and said: "Old man, you can just say it with confidence."

Well, take this money and use it as story fee."

After the old man took the money, he stopped being verbose and straight to the point said to Su Rou and me: "There is a ghost in this office building, I'm sure of it! And it's a powerful ghost. Didn't everyone talk about it during the day?"

Is that so? I, the night watchman, have more experience. There are real ghosts, I have encountered them before."

When Old Man Chang was talking about this, a gust of wind came up for no reason outside, blowing the few trees in the yard with a "whistle" sound. He was a person who had seen how to make crispy pork, so he felt a little uncomfortable when he encountered this.

No, he immediately grabbed my arm.

And I stood up immediately, facing out the window, and yelled: "Get out!"

When I shouted, even old man Chang was frightened and shrank his neck, but could I not shout? Although I didn't open my heavenly eyes at this time, my spiritual sense is strong, and sometimes I can feel it, or just ordinary people.
Chapter completed!
