Chapter 7 Spiritualism
Peng Gang was so frightened that he almost peed. He slowly backed away, trying not to make a sound. He could feel that his father was sitting there motionless and silent, like a dead man.
There is a question here that I just can’t figure out: “Peng Gang, if you were your father and an outsider suddenly broke into your territory, what would you do?”
"Haha." He smiled bitterly: "Old Liu, I understand what you mean. If it had been me at that time, my first reaction would have been to call out who it was."
"Yes, I can also shout. This is an inevitable human reaction. But your father quickly turned off the light, kept quiet, and hid in the darkness. Why did I hear something was wrong? It shouldn't be this reaction."
"This problem is actually easy to explain." He said: "I think he didn't want others to find out his secret. I knocked over the jar and made a sound. My dad couldn't determine where the sound came from. If someone really came to the basement
, and he couldn't tell whether it was directed at him. If he called someone, he would have completely exposed himself."
"Anyway, your dad's reaction is quite strange." I said, "Even if your analysis is reasonable. I think it's unusual for him to be so calm in his subconscious reaction when something unexpected happens."
Peng Gang scratched his eyebrows and looked very depressed: "Old Liu, do you know what I felt when the lights went out?"
"What"
"I felt that the person in the darkness was definitely not my father. The father and son were related by blood. After all, I had lived with my father for twenty years, and I was very familiar with that feeling. And at that moment, I felt that in the darkness
It was a stranger. A monster that had taken over my father's body."
I swallowed, and my hair stood on end.
"You mean, it's not your father's soul that came back from the underworld, but some other lonely ghost." My teeth chattered.
"That's what I thought. But Mr. Li gave another explanation at the time."
"Oh, what did he say?"
"He said that person is still my father, but he has three souls and seven souls. After his resurrection, my father did not bring back all the souls. He was short of souls and souls, so he became like this strangely now."
I took a breath, this matter was completely beyond my knowledge and imagination. I could only smile bitterly.
"Mr. Li said that it is very simple to completely solve this matter." Peng Gang said.
"How to deal with it"
"Then I need to go to the underworld and find out what's going on."
Hearing this, I almost burned my mouth with a cigarette butt. These people are all crazy. They can come up with such crazy ideas. Going to the underworld, isn't that death?
"When he said these words, I pondered for a long time. If my father really lost his soul in the underworld, as his son, I have the responsibility to find it back. To be honest, I was very scared, but I still did it
I made the determination to die. I told Mr. Li that I wanted to go to the underworld. But he waved his hand and said, you don’t need to go, I will go.”
My hands and feet felt cold and I almost held my breath.
Peng Gang looked at the street lights in the distance with a misty look in his eyes: "Just when he said those words, I felt that he was a real man, a person who is absolutely trustworthy."
I slammed the table and cursed: "That's nonsense. Not to mention whether there is an underworld, there really is such a ghost place. You can go there if you want to."
Peng Gang looked at me: "You have forgotten the most important person."
"who"
"Ma Danlong. The man who summoned the soul for my father."
Only then did I remember that there was such a person, and I couldn't help but said: "Can he help you? It's nonsense. Your father is acting like this. I guess he is the one who caused the evil. It's a throwback to the founding of the People's Republic of China, and even such a magician can be shot."
"You mean my dad did this intentionally?"
"Hey. What do you think? I guess that kid has summoned the souls of many people. He organized these resurrected people into an association or something, using other people's souls as hostages. He will be the president of the entire Dead Ghost Alliance's undead army.
, it is not impossible to engage in some money-making and sabotage activities."
Peng Gang looked at me longingly and suddenly smiled: "Old Liu, you should write fantasy YY novels. Your imagination is much stronger than that of Mr. Li and I."
I snorted coldly: "You are still a child and have no idea how complicated and dangerous this society is."
Peng Gang said calmly: "It's too late for you to say anything. Mr. Li has already gone to find Ma Danlong."
I looked at him and suddenly thought of something: "Tell you the truth, you were at the scene that day when Ma Danlong summoned souls. Did you lie to your father about the details of the soul summoning?"
"Do you think I can tell the truth to such a person who is neither human nor ghost?"
When I heard Peng Gang say that about his father, I really didn't like it. I frowned and said, "Don't say that. No matter what, that's your father after all." I then mentioned that when I interviewed Brother Peng, he made no secret of his praise for his son.
All the words have been said.
Peng Gang was very uncomfortable and his eyes were red: "Old Liu, I really don't know what to do. How could such a weird and terrible thing happen to our family? My mother is suffering day by day. She is worse than dead and her hair has turned white.
I feel so uncomfortable. Fortunately, Mr. Li”
Hearing this, I raised my eyebrows: "What did Li Damin say?"
"Mr. Li said, don't worry, he will investigate and find out. He said that students like me are not allowed to participate in such things, and the water inside is very deep. He also said that if the investigation makes it clear, he will come back and tell me. But since that day
, I can no longer contact him. I guess he went to find Ma Danlong."
My heart sank, this guy Li Damin just had enough to eat and had nothing to do.
I sighed: "After I bumped into your dad in the basement, you escaped smoothly."
"Yes."
"He didn't doubt you"
"Probably not." Peng Gang breathed a sigh of relief: "He never mentioned this matter at home, nor did he come to see me alone. That secretary girl is very smart, and she probably won't ask for trouble and say anything to him."
"That's good."
"Old Liu, will you go find Mr. Li?"
I was a little anxious: "It's none of your business. You should tell me about Ma Danlong. What kind of person is he and what details have you concealed?"
"Ma Danlong is a very ordinary-looking person, with a chubby face and a very honest look. People like him can't be found in a crowd, and they won't leave a deep impression on others."
"Approximately how old are you?" I asked.
"It's possible that he's between 28 and 45 years old. It's impossible to determine, and there's no way to judge at all," Peng Gang said.
"Put it on"
"Very, very ordinary, black jacket and jeans, looks like a street stall."
"That's not right." I scratched my head: "Normally, a person with such great ability must be a guest of a wealthy official. Nowadays, rich and powerful people believe this. I remembered that he could be so poor and ordinary.
I have asked for half of your company's shares before. This is definitely not the first time. How can he not have money?"
"Mr. Li has made speculations on this issue." Peng Gang said: "He said that since people have seen through life and death, they naturally won't care about worldly things."
I nodded: "That's true. Then tell me about that soul summoning."
Peng Gang told me that the spiritual summoning process he told his father was similar to the real situation, but there were a few details that he didn't tell.
First of all, in terms of magical instruments, Ma Danlong used not only incense burners and incense to summon souls, but also the most important thing, which was a black Buddha statue.
This Buddha was about the length of an adult's hand. It was dark all over and sat on a lotus throne with its knees crossed. It looked fat and fat, as if it had no arms, and its face was unclear. At that time, the Buddha had been playing with Ma Danlong, and so was Peng Gang.
He glanced at it a few times without taking a closer look, but he felt that this Buddha statue exuded a very strange evil. It didn't look like a Buddhist venerable in the temple, but the posture was a bit like Southeast Asian style.
Peng Gang said that during the vacation after graduating from high school, he joined a tour group to visit Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand. In a village on the border of Thailand, he saw a very simple shrine. The Buddha statue enshrined on the shrine looked like the one made by Ma Danlong.
.Although it is not consistent, the style is very similar.
