Three bows and nine knocks, the salute is completed. It was a weird feeling, but it wasn't weird, or rather, I knew I had to do it now.

When I stood up, my grandfather looked at me with a serious expression and some relief, and the blood on the table was gone as if it were an illusion, only the stench seemed to surround me.

"Grandpa..." I swallowed, grandpa shook his head, motioned for me not to speak, and then said: "You take these three talismans, stick one piece of clothing, where to call the soul, how to move, I will teach you." ”

After speaking, my grandfather told me the steps one by one, and I also wrote them down one by one. Eventually, my grandfather gave me a yellow talisman and told me to use it only when I was in danger.

I didn't doubt it, put it on my shirt and put it on the outside with the zipper. The weather was still just past the dog days, and the nights were very hot, so it was absolutely unusual for me to walk out dressed like this.

Grandpa beckoned Chen Muqing over again, and didn't want the wooden sword back, but looked at it again and again, his eyes full of embarrassing memories. Finally, Chen Muqing was told to hold the sword and follow me every step of the way.

At this time, I was sure that my grandfather knew that Chen Muqing had yin and yang eyes. But whether Brother Aqing himself realized this or not, I'm not sure.

Grandpa couldn't directly intervene in this matter, so he chose to sit at the altar at home.

Chen Muqing and I left my house with our three aunts and went all the way to the west of Taiqing Village. Strange to say, it was a strange night, with no roosters or dogs barking, and it was as if all the animals in the village were dead.

This suffocating silence is even more eerie. Not counting me and Chen Muqing, even the three aunts who care about their daughters have been looking around uneasily, and when I asked them later, I felt as if there were eyes watching them in the dark.

Dark clouds cover the moon, starlight, and the houses that come out of the mountainside in the west of the village can already be faintly seen. We stopped halfway up the mountain, but luckily we didn't encounter anything strange along the way.

I breathed a sigh of relief, pasted the three talismans given by my grandfather on the three pieces of clothing, and then asked the three aunts to unfold the clothes, shake them left three times, shake them right three times, and then shout the names of their respective daughters three times.

When doing this in the dead of night, Rao is weird and scary enough in his own village, I wiped the sweat from my forehead and let Chen Muqing stare at the deserted building.

At this time, I noticed that Chen Muqing's face was very ugly, or rather, it should be a little pale. He looked at me and opened his mouth, as if he wanted to ask something, but in the end he didn't ask, nodded his head, and looked up at the eerie, dark doorway of the deserted building.

Grandpa drew a soul talisman, so that even if he didn't enter the deserted building, he could call back the lost soul. Based on this, I speculated that even my grandfather would not want to touch the strangeness of the deserted building, and it was wise that I did not rush in.

Just when I was thinking about this, Chen Muqing suddenly shouted: "It's out, but it's not obvious, there is a faint shadow coming out of the door." ”

"Normal, there is only one soul ghost, of course, it can't be as clear as a ghost with three souls and seven spirits. Hearing Chen Muqing say this, I put down the heart I had been carrying and asked, "How many came out?"

"Just one for now. Chen Muqing said, her eyes turned from the deserted building to the back of one of the aunts. It was as if you could really see an invisible person falling from the mountainside.

"Only one?" I frowned again, "It should be Lu Juan's soul back, wait." ”

After a while, with a few more calls, Chen Muqing screamed again, and another one came out of the door. But it was still not Liu Xue, but behind another aunt.

After more than 30 minutes, Chen Muqing's aunt's voice was hoarse, and Liu Xue's soul still didn't come out. I was relieved at first, but I gradually became a little anxious.

"Gan, the resentful soul refuses to let go. I spat on the ground, but luckily my grandfather had anticipated this and told me some backup options.

I sat down cross-legged, lit the incense and candles I had brought, and said, "Children who are disobedient and are victimized by ghosts, do not enter the treasure land." Please also make it convenient for you, let go of Liu Xue's soul, and celebrate the New Year's holidays in the future. ”

Three sticks of incense and green smoke curled up, but as soon as I finished speaking, the three sticks of incense immediately changed their words. But when I saw it, my heart became even more bitter.

People are afraid of three long and two short, and two short and one long. The incense in front of me is about to burn out two short and one long.

In the 'ask' step, the state in which the incense burns is particular. It is best to burn the three roots together, which means that the ghost is willing to take the incense and reach a settlement, and the three roots are all broken, indicating that the ghost is not satisfied and wants to negotiate conditions.

But it is better to see the whole section of the three roots, than to see the two short and one long. Because two short and one long is a bad omen, which means that the ghost does not want to consult with you. Seeing that the incense was about to burn like that, I couldn't help but sweat dripping down my forehead.

"I can't help it, I have to take a risk. I looked at the deserted building halfway up the mountainside, hesitated, but decided to come a little closer to call the spirit.

And in order to enhance the effect of the spirit charm, I bit the tip of the middle finger of my right hand and poked a blood mark on the paper charm. Now that I have been worshipping my teacher, and I have been reciting the golden light mantra since I was a child, I hope that my blood can also play a role.

I let Chen Muqing hold the wooden sword in front, and his aunt held the clothes in the middle, while calling 'Liu Xue go home quickly' while walking up the mountain road full of barren grass in fear, I walked at the end, thinking about why Liu Xue's soul was detained?

Was it the old ghost woman's hands and feet, or was the thing in the deserted building deliberate?

I was puzzled, and then out of the corner of my eye, I saw something flash in the grass. A few pinches of yellow fur are faintly visible, but they are difficult to discern in the dim natural light.

Suddenly, Chen Muqing screamed, her body rushed forward like an electric shock, and the wooden sword in her hand also swung forward, as if she was attacking something invisible.

His aunt was stunned and trembling. I grabbed the zipper of my coat, and when the preparation was not right, I used the Lei Zun talisman: "Brother Aqing, what's wrong?"

As soon as I spoke, I realized that my voice was actually a little shaky.

Chen Muqing didn't say anything, just stared at his back, and the cold sweat could be seen from the shirt part he was sticking to his back.

"Hurry up, hurry up, Ah Xue has already come out. Chen Muqing said anxiously and nervously.

We are actually halfway up the mountain, and we are only a few dozen meters away from the deserted building. From such a distance, I felt a cold air rushing to my face, even with a slight smell of blood and rancidity.

"Get down the mountain!" I shouted, instinctive fear made me nervous to the extreme, instinctively not wanting to, not daring to stay here for even a second!

I have an extraordinary curiosity about the mystery and the truth, but I am not willing to explore the mystery at the cost of my life.

I don't know if it's a psychological effect or something that happens, in the process of descending the mountain, I vaguely feel that I am followed by someone, no, I should say that there is more than one person, that feeling sends chills down my spine!

And I'm not the only one who feels this way, Chen Muqing and her aunt's faces are very nervous and unsightly, and they even have the urge to look back.

"Don't look back. I hurriedly stopped them, and the three of them walked faster and faster, until they almost ran to the bottom of the mountain.

At the foot of the mountain, the other two aunts were still waiting anxiously, and we didn't come back, and although they were scared, they didn't dare to leave. When I arrived at the foot of the mountain, I breathed a sigh of relief, and then told the three of them my grandfather's last advice.

Let them stop and call their names every seven steps until they get home and enter the house. When they get home, they can put this dress on their daughters.

I deliberately explained: "Aunties, remember to sprinkle a handful of ashes at the door when you go home, and then don't worry about anything tonight, just sleep." ”

The three families took different routes home, and Chen Muqing and I followed her aunt for fear of any more accidents.

However, accidents are not accidents if they can be avoided in advance.

The three of us didn't have to walk long before we encountered a thick white fog that could not be seen with our fingers in sight. This fog is strange, I have never seen such a big fog in my life.

And what makes my heart even worse is that no matter how we go, we will run back to the distance.

Ghost hits the wall.
