Chapter 19: Looking for Uncle
My parents felt the gaze from my cousin's uncle and were obviously stunned for a few seconds and didn't come back to their senses.
After a while, he said, "Xiaoyang, did I say something wrong?"
"No, I am a vegetarian."
After the Taoist priest finished speaking, my cousin and I looked at him again.
This Taoist priest is weird today. My cousin used to visit him every month with pork head. Why did he suddenly change his temper and say he wants to eat vegetarian food?
My parents quickly came back to their senses and said, "Okay, Taoist priest, I'll go get ready. Xiaoyang, you take good care of the Taoist priest."
"Okay, Mom."
I said yes.
My parents went to cook, and it was really late now.
We sat in the house, and the Taoist priest looked at me and said, "After dinner, you have to follow me for a walk."
After hearing this, my uncle immediately asked curiously, "Where are you going?"
"Don't worry about it."
The Taoist priest spoke lightly, and my cousin laughed awkwardly a few times. However, my cousin has always been a very outgoing person. Although he heard the Taoist priest say this, he quickly came forward to flatter him, and in a few words, the Taoist priest agreed to take him along.
My parents are diligent people, and they prepared the meal in no time. When the meal was ready, the Taoist priest simply took a few bites. Just as I was about to move my chopsticks, the Taoist priest suddenly raised his hand to stop me and said, "Wait."
I looked at and asked, "What's wrong?"
“You can’t eat it.”
Now it was everyone's turn to look at the Taoist priest in confusion. The Taoist priest had no intention of answering them and just told me not to eat.
My parents found it strange but they didn't ask any questions.
I was really hungry, so I took a bite when the Taoist priest wasn't paying attention. But after taking a bite, I suddenly felt uncomfortable all over and my abdomen ached slightly.
Soon I felt nauseous and wanted to vomit.
I quickly put down my chopsticks and walked to the side, found a wall and started vomiting. I soon realized that whatever I had just eaten, I vomited out.
It seems like this thing is impossible to digest, and it makes me feel very uncomfortable.
After I vomited , I finally felt relieved. I returned to the table. The Taoist priest looked at me strangely, which made me feel very uncomfortable.
After we finished eating, my parents packed up and I told them I had to go out and take care of something.
Because it was very late, my parents were worried about me and asked me what I was going to do.
I explained that I went with the Taoist priest to do something. Maybe my parents saw the Taoist priest bury my uncle's body and bring me back safely, so they still had a certain degree of trust in him.
They didn't ask any further questions and just let me follow the Taoist priest.
My cousin quickly put down his bowl and chopsticks, and we followed the Taoist priest and walked forward. After walking for a while, I couldn't help but ask him about the doubts I had just had.
The Taoist priest looked at me as if I were a fool.
Then he slowly asked me, "Do you think you are still alive?"
The Taoist priest's question confused me instantly, and I was unable to come back to my senses for a while.
The Taoist priest's voice seemed to become a little eerie at this moment.
But he didn't wait for my answer and just walked forward.
I stood there and carefully thought about what the Taoist priest said, until my cousin patted me. Then I came to my senses and began to understand what the Taoist priest wanted to say to me.
I am not a living person, so I cannot eat human food, and even if I eat it I cannot swallow it.
Suddenly I thought that I was now in a "dead" state, and I felt a little sad.
I took out my cell phone and checked the time. It was two o'clock in the morning.
At this point in time, although the rain had stopped, the weather was unusually cold, and a gust of icy air soon hit us. The Taoist priest had a clear goal and kept walking forward, while my cousin and I followed behind him.
After walking for a while, I saw the Taoist priest stopped at the door of Duan Gong's house.
Isn't the Taoist priest dead? Is there any point for the Taoist priest to come here?
The Taoist priest stopped and said to me, "Boy, do you believe that you can see your uncle from here tonight?"
The Taoist priest's words immediately stirred up a wave in my heart. I looked at him and asked, "Really?"
"If nothing unexpected happens, it should be possible. What do you mean by asking this? Do you doubt my ability?"
The Taoist priest looked at me with a pair of burning eyes. Her gaze was very sharp, and when it fell on me, it seemed that it could see through me. This feeling made me feel uncomfortable.
I quickly laughed and said, "No, no, how dare I doubt your ability."
Although I had doubts about some of the Taoist priest's actions, I really did not doubt his ability. After all, even the ghost messenger had to kneel before him and beg for mercy. This kind of strength is definitely not something that ordinary people can possess.
But isn’t my uncle already dead?
Could it be that my uncle would come here in disguise? When I thought of this, I was filled with doubts, but at the same time I also hoped to see my uncle here.
My uncle is dead now, and I hope he can rest in peace.
"Then you'd better shut up."
I:"……"
I listened to what the Taoist priest said and didn't dare to say anything more.
Time passes by every second, and it is already past two in the morning. Is it possible that my uncle will show up?
After waiting here for about half an hour, gusts of cold wind blew in, making people feel chilly.
I really couldn't stand it anymore, and the Taoist priest's expression changed slightly.
My cousin lit a cigarette nearby. As soon as the cigarette was lit, the Taoist priest glared at my cousin. My cousin immediately put out the cigarette and immediately lost his temper.
"We can't wait here, it will only lead to complications."
The Taoist priest asked us to step back a few steps as he spoke. Then I saw him take out a piece of yellow talisman paper, and with his nimble hands he quickly folded the talisman in his hand into a small yellow paper man.
Then I heard the Taoist priest start to chant the spell silently: "A substitute, before consecration, is just paper, after consecration, it becomes supernatural power; open your left ear to hear the underworld, and your right ear to hear the living world; you and Mozhuang and Mo were born at the same time, day, month, and year; open your left hand to carry money, and your right hand to carry disasters, the disasters of Moming and Moming must be carried out to other places; punish the mountains, and conquer the sea, without punishment or conquest, the evil will rush away, the divine soldiers are as urgent as the law."
After the Taoist priest finished reciting, I saw the little yellow paper man in his hand suddenly moved as if it was injected with life.
And soon went towards Duangong's house.
When I saw the scene in front of me, I felt that my three views were completely overturned in an instant. This was a scene I had never seen before.
I was surprised, but the Taoist priest said calmly, "Back off, don't alert the enemy."
The Taoist priest backed away and we followed quickly, stopping about a hundred meters away from where Duangong lived.
I don’t know why, but my heart is full of anticipation at this moment.
