37. The eyes in the water bowl

When I came to my senses, I felt like someone was tapping me on the shoulder, but when I looked behind me, there was no one behind me.

This made me can't help but shiver, because the feeling of being slapped on the shoulder is very real, not my delusion, I felt a strong uneasiness in my heart, so I shouted into the dark room: "Zhang Ziang, are you in there?"

I heard someone inside answer, but it wasn't Zhang Ziang's voice, it seemed to be Xuanran's voice, and he answered me: "Stone." ”

He answered this and there was no other voice, this voice was very different from the voice I had heard when I saw him before, as if he was no longer in such a weak state, I hesitated when I heard it, and hesitated to go any further, but soon I felt as if he had come to me, and I saw him standing in front of me like a shadow, and said to me, "Stone, he said that only you can help me." ”

At this time, the voice was no longer Xuanran's, it sounded very unfamiliar, as if there was another person living in Xuanran's body, I became alert and asked him, "Who are you?"

He didn't respond, just turned around and walked inside, and when I saw him leave without a word, I shouted, "Wait, who are you?"

He paused and said, "If you want to know, come with me." ”

So I followed, and then I saw this dark coffin in the drawing-room, and I saw him walking up to the coffin and standing there, as if there was some mystery in it, and I asked, "What is in the coffin?"

He said, "If you want to know, open it and see it."

I frowned, but my body didn't move, because I felt that the inside of the coffin seemed to be dangerous, although Zhang Ziang told me that there was nothing in the coffin, and I didn't believe it, but I still felt that it was not a good thing inside, and I didn't have the idea of opening it.

Xuan Ran continued to say to me: "If you want to know, just open it and see." ”

I still didn't move, because when I heard him say it a second time, I suddenly had a thought, why didn't he open it himself, but let me open it, could he not open the coffin, and I had to do it?

Combined with this series of events, Xuan Ran himself did not have any abnormalities, but because he was friendly with me, it became like this, and I saw with my own eyes that the three masked souls entered his body, and now Xuan Ran is obviously in this state, at least I feel like this, so where did these three masked souls come from? I remember that Zhang Ziang once asked me this question next to the wooden corpse, but then for some reason he didn't continue, and now he is blind, is it just saying that the things in the coffin are the origin of these three masked souls, and these three souls escaped from the coffin, and then for some reason found Xuan Ran and possessed him.

The reason why Xuan Ran became like this is because he borrowed the soul from the corpse, whether it was voluntary or completely unaware, then that is to say, the ultimate goal of this diviner who has not shown up so far is actually this coffin here.

For a while, I had a lot of thoughts in my mind, and I also had an idea in my heart, the current Xuan Ran is no longer the Xuan Ran I know, and it is even likely that the real Xuan Ran is dead, so I had the idea of wanting to give Xuan Ran a hexagram, so I didn't pay attention to what he wanted to say to me in front of me, he just wanted me to open the coffin, and now it is obvious that this coffin has to be opened by me, which is why Zhang Ziang didn't tell me the truth.

I filled a bowl with water, put the copper skewer on the water bowl, obviously it was dark here, but I could clearly see the water surface of the water bowl, and then the water surface of the water bowl became a whirlpool, and then I saw that there was a huge life chart in the whirlpool, I saw that Xuan Ran's life star was in the life chart, but it was in the dark area of the whole life chart, this is the place where the life star withered, there was no breath of life in this area at all, Xuan Ran's life star was like a fire point that was about to be swallowed up by the darkness, and it was about to fall into this deep darkness。

But this is not a fall from the natal chart, this is still in the heavens, I have never seen this place before, so I wondered, what is this place, why can't I see anything here except the natal star and the darkness, and what is this place in the depths of the darkness?

Just as I hesitated, I suddenly saw that in the deepest part of the darkness, something seemed to flicker inexplicably, like a star suddenly twinkling for a moment, but soon it was gone.

I realized that this place is not absolutely dark, there are still natal stars here, and they are also the Devan who gathers their fates, but there is no trace of any fates here, and I can't see any fates, that is to say, the fates that exist here are all dark stars.

When the word "dark star" appeared in my mind, something seemed to suddenly roll in my heart, like a stormy wave, more as if I realized something, and then, I felt that the whole horoscope began to turn into a turbulent water wave, and my eyes became a bowl of water in front of me again, but at the moment when my divination was about to end, I suddenly saw a pair of eyes appear in the water bowl, that is, in the whirlpool, only one pair of eyes.

I clearly saw a pair of eyes appear in the water bowl, and then, I heard a "click" sound, as if it was the sound of the water bowl cracking, only to see the water bowl crack into two petals, and the water inside instantly became empty, and everything disappeared.

I hadn't recovered from the scene in front of me, I turned my head, but I saw Xuan Ran standing behind me gloomily, I turned my head and was just facing him, just so close, I felt a chill emanating from his face, and then I heard him say, "You were just giving me a hexagram." ”

I originally wanted to look at the coffin behind me, because I realized that these eyes seemed to be coming out of the coffin, and there seemed to be a person in the coffin, who was also peeping at me, the difference was that I was spying on the heavens, but he was peeking at me from the heavens.

I was uneasy, took a step back, held the copper skewer in my hand, Xuan Ran stood in front of me like that, and when I was at a loss, I suddenly heard Zhang Ziang's voice from the door: "Stone, are you in it?"

When Zhang Ziang's voice came, I saw Xuan Ran quickly retreat, and then I couldn't see his trace, as if he was hiding in the dark, and didn't get a response from me, Zhang Ziang shouted again: "Stone, are you in it?"

I replied: "Zhang Ziang, I'm here." ”

After that, I heard a few footsteps, accompanied by a burst of light, and saw Zhang Ziang walking in with a candle, and then by candlelight, I saw that the gloom in it was swept away, and when I looked inside, there was no trace of Xuan Ran, and I said, "Xuan Ran is inside." ”

Zhang Ziang heard me say this and knew what was going on, so he walked into the room, I saw Xuan Ran still lying in the place where I was lying when I came in during the day, but he was no longer conscious, I said: "Xuan Ran has a secret hidden in his body, we have to find out, and we must save him." ”

Zhang Ziang didn't say anything when he heard it, so he brought the candle to me, and then he went to help Xuanran, and after the death of this number, I saw the shadow under the candle, but there was one more shadow, I said, "Wait, why is there one more shadow in this?"

Xuan Ran was lying on the ground, and the shadow illuminated by the candle flame should only be me and Zhang Ziang, but there was a third shadow on the ground, and from the direction of the shadow, if there was another person, this person was standing behind me.

But there was nothing behind me, and I remembered the image of me coming in with a tap on my shoulder that brought me back to reality, that is, there really seemed to be a person here, not a person, at least an invisible person.

Zhang Ziang looked at me, and I saw his eyes squint and said, "It's a revenant!"
