Chapter 49 Cemetery
Within a few minutes, Li Shun arrived at the door.
He bought a new car, which looked very expensive.
"Little Taoist Priest, you have already told me to call me if you need anything. Why are you asking me for help now?" As soon as he got out of the car, he looked at me with a mocking look on his face with dark circles under his eyes.
I shrugged.
When Shen Ming saw that it was really Li Shun, he wiped his sweaty hands on his pants, then stepped forward and stretched out his hand: "Master Li, it's a pleasure to meet you. I wonder if you still remember me?"
Li Shun shook hands with him naturally: "Of course, Mr. Shen, long time no see."
They had crossed paths in business before, and now they are no strangers to each other.
"Little Taoist Priest, I have found the cemetery you asked me to find, shall we set off now?" Li Shun handed me a mobile phone with a location displayed on the screen.
I handed it to Shen Ming and took a look to confirm that the address was correct. Then we got in Shen Ming's car and set off again.
It's not yet noon, but Shen's house has returned to normal. Logically speaking, the cemetery should not be the same as before.
I thought about it carefully for a long time last night, and I always felt that there was something strange about the strange phenomenon in the cemetery.
Today, in addition to going to a psychic to find out what happened, I also wanted to confirm my suspicions.
It was ten o'clock when we arrived at the entrance of the cemetery.
At the entrance of the cemetery was a security guard in his thirties or forties with a small belly. When he saw us, he greeted us warmly.
He knocked on the car window: "What are you doing here?"
Shen Ming didn't dare to answer easily because of what happened last night, so I answered softly: "Where is Shen Li's grave?"
The security guard immediately flipped through the record book in his hand: "It's not far away. Come with me."
Shen Ming and I looked at each other, and he was obviously much more relaxed.
After we got off the bus, the security guard, probably because he was bored after staying here for so long without anyone to talk to him, took us inside and kept talking to us.
As soon as he heard that my family was a coffin maker, he and I suddenly had more topics in common, and he even considered me his brother.
Just right.
I had a few casual conversations with him and started to inquire about the news: "Uncle, how do the gatekeepers work in shifts here? Who are the people working the night shift?"
He was chatting happily at first, but now when he heard me asking this question, his face fell instantly.
"what are you saying?"
I quickly explained: "We were here last night and saw the door open and an old man guarding the door. We didn't dare to come in at that time..."
Before I finished speaking, the security guard said in a panic: "Brother, are you sure you saw the old man last night?"
I nodded as if I was scared.
The security guard lowered his voice: "Little brother, it's a good thing you didn't go in. That's a hell of a trap."
"We did have someone keeping vigil here at night, it was an old man, but one day he died in the night shift, and his body was left there all night, and it wasn't discovered until someone came to work the next day."
"From then on, anyone who worked the night shift would be found unconscious in front of the old man's grave the next day. When I asked them, they said they couldn't remember anything."
Shen Ming suddenly came over and asked with a thin line of cold sweat on his forehead: "What next?"
When the security guard saw someone listening to him, he spoke more enthusiastically: "But at that time, the people in charge didn't believe in evil. They insisted that the people on the night shift just wanted to be lazy, and then they went to work the night shift themselves."
"As a result, I went crazy the next day! I screamed for help when I saw anyone."
"Later on, we no longer had anyone on night shift here. I don't know when it started to spread again. Someone saw the old man guarding the door in the middle of the night. Some of the brave ones went in, but they all went crazy within a few days after coming out!"
Finally, he looked like he was afraid of not scaring us, and lowered his voice: "So, this place is also called the Gate of Hell, and anyone who goes in will lose their souls!"
Shen Ming hurriedly tugged at the corner of my clothes, with fear written all over his face: "We last night..."
I winked at him and he shut up immediately.
I smiled and said to the security guard: "Fortunately we didn't go in last night."
The security guard glanced at Shen Ming next to him with some suspicion, and clearly saw something.
After hesitating for a while, he took out an amulet that he had worn for who knows how many years and handed it to me: "Little brother, this is the first time I met you and we talked so speculatively. I have brought this amulet with me several times."
It’s been years, just take it.”
I took a look at this amulet. It didn't look very eye-catching, but it did have some incense smell. It was probably a good thing that had been opened.
"It's not appropriate. Brother, you'd better keep such a valuable thing yourself."
The security guard waved his hand: "No, I will resign in two days. I won't need this thing in the future. You can keep it."
I nodded heavily: "Okay, thank you, brother. If you have any questions in the future, please come to me and I will definitely help you."
The security guard smiled and didn't seem to mind, but he still left my phone number.
"This is Shen Li's grave. I will continue to look at the door. I won't disturb you anymore."
As soon as the security guard left, Shen Ming came over and asked quickly: "Little Taoist Priest, you probably won't be able to use the amulet just now. Do you want to consider..."
When he said this, his eyes were already staring at the amulet and glowing.
I waved my hand and put it away: "No, I won't sell it."
The things that others give to me are all from their heart no matter what, and there is really no need to sell them to others for just a few bucks.
But looking at Shen Ming's anxious look, he was obviously frightened by what the security guard said just now.
I rolled my eyes and said, "Well, I'll give you this. I'll find the talisman written by the master. I'll only charge you 50,000 yuan to keep you safe."
As I said that, I took out a piece of talisman paper from my backpack. Shen Ming was so frightened that he grabbed the talisman paper directly from my hand.
While Li Shun was watching this scene, he didn't say anything, but reminded in a low voice: "Little Taoist Priest, do you see anything strange around here?"
I looked towards the tombstone he was pointing at.
During the day, this place is just an ordinary tomb, with Shen Li's name engraved on the tombstone.
I walked around the grave bag again and found something strange.
It stands to reason that this is just an unregulated cemetery, and even human corpses are not cremated, so there are usually weeds and the like on the graves.
But this tomb is very clean, not even a hair can be seen around it.
There is a saying here that if the grass grows tall on the grave, it means that the descendants will be prosperous.
This makes sense. The dead will nourish these grave grasses with their own spiritual energy before reincarnation, and the descendants of a family with strong spiritual energy will surely be prosperous.
