Chapter 34: The Spirit Blows the Lamp
I couldn't cry or laugh a little when I held the Buddha dust, what can this fluttering thing do? I feel prickly when I scratch it, let alone greet the demons and monsters in the mass graves.
"Master Xu, this thing is good at fighting flies, but I'm going to a mass grave, how can it help?" I stretched out my hand to comb the wisps of Buddha dust, but the headless shadow just now appeared in my mind.
Xu Banblind turned down the twist of the corpse oil lamp, and said meaningfully: "This Buddha dust is nothing to ordinary people, but for those things that are not clean, they are more powerful than maces, and I can't be wrong." ”
I saw that Xu was blind and determined, and I didn't want to question it anymore, so I lowered my head and continued to look at Buddha Chen.
Xu Ban coughed a few times, turned around and picked up a black kettle from the counter, opened two large porcelain bowls casually, and poured two cups of tea with his hand.
Xu half-blindly picked up one of the bowls, drank more than half of it with a clatter, and then pushed the other bowl towards me.
To be honest, I was already hungry and thirsty, but I always remembered Sun Bald's instructions, so I naturally didn't dare to eat and drink at Xu Ban's house.
I stuck my head out of the tea bowl, but I didn't smell the pungent smell.
But even so, I still didn't dare to drink this bowl of water, and no one dared to guarantee that there was anything else in it.
From the first time I saw Xu Banblind, I felt that he was a little different, and because of this, everything that had anything to do with him also felt weird, in short, I was always wary of him.
"I'm not thirsty now, so I don't drink water. "I stood up and moved my bones, and the flame of the corpse oil lamp grew bluer and brighter, and the flames were like natural gas stoves.
Knock Knock Knock......
Xu Banblind picked up the tea bowl in front of me and drank it all, and then squatted the tea bowl on the table.
Xu and I looked at each other blindly, and the pale blue candlelight illuminated each other's faces.
"Let's go, it's getting late, you're going to come back before the rooster crows. Xu Banblind picked up the corpse oil lamp and put it in the palm of my hand, and the moment I touched his palm, I felt a trace of coldness, as if his hand had just been soaked in cold water.
"What if the rooster doesn't come back before it crows?" I glanced at my phone, it was already four o'clock in the morning, and judging by years of experience, there should be more than an hour before the rooster crowed.
Of course, if the rooster in the neighborhood has less sleep, it may crow earlier. On the contrary, when you encounter a rooster who sleeps lazily, you may not crow on the third pole in the sun.
Xu Ban crooked his mouth and sneered: "If you can't come back before the rooster crows, you don't want to come back in your life, do you understand?"
I nodded vigorously and walked out the door with the corpse oil lamp.
"Wait, bring the lampshade on. Xu Banblind put a glass lampshade on the flame and added: "There is another important thing, this lamp must not be extinguished, otherwise even if you take back the black mandalin, it will be in vain, remember?"
"Don't worry, remember, why don't you come with me?" I asked, holding the corpse oil lamp.
Xu Ban replied lightly: "If I go, I will misunderstand your business, I won't say the specific reason, let's go, go early and return early." ”
Xu Ban waved his hand at me, I didn't dare to delay any longer, and walked out of the courtyard with the corpse oil lamp.
As I passed by the black dog named Qiankun, I seemed to see the smile on the corner of its mouth by the candlelight.
I rubbed my eyes, trying to see clearly, and finally confirmed that the black dog was smiling, and the corners of his mouth were as upturned as a human.
"It's really fucking evil, the dogs have become sperm, I hope Xu Ban is blind and doesn't lie to me......"
I muttered to myself and walked towards the mass grave.
The night wind blew from behind, causing the flame of the corpse oil lamp in my hand to flicker and sway, as if it might be extinguished in the next second.
I slowed down, wishing I had the corpse oil lamp in my arms, lest the cold wind blow it out.
It is also strange to say that although the flame of the corpse oil lamp is small, it is extremely bright, and it illuminates the road ahead clearly, and even the potholes on the road can be seen at a glance.
I light a cigarette and hold it in my mouth, using the taste of tobacco to reduce my sensitivity to my surroundings.
Woowoo......
The wind was still whimpering, like a woman crying in a low voice.
A cold sweat ran down my spine, and I always felt like someone was following me, but I didn't plan to turn back, and continued to press my steps forward.
A moment later, I arrived at the mass grave.
Under the light of the corpse oil lamp, the graves were strange and terrifying, as if someone would crawl out of them in the next second.
I held the corpse oil lamp in one hand and the Buddha dust in the other, looking for the black mandala in Xu Ban's mouth in the large and small graves.
But after searching for more than a dozen graves in a row, I still didn't see the mandal flowers, I couldn't help but be a little anxious, thinking that Xu Banblind wouldn't be teasing me, just now he spoke in a very unfriendly tone, maybe just made up such a ridiculous reason to break me away, and then hid in the room to sleep.
The more I thought about it, the more angry I became, and I even had the idea of turning around and going back.
Suddenly, a few meters away from me, there were flashes of light, red, yellow, and green, which, if it weren't for the mass graves, would have made one think that someone was playing a prank here.
I couldn't help but raise my vigilance, and walked towards the small lights that flickered and dimmed, which in my impression were ghost fires.
When I was in college, I heard my roommate say something about ghost fire, in short, in ancient times, burials were carried out, and it was good for the old man of a large family to die, at least a good coffin could be placed, but when the poor people died, they were buried in the barren mountains and mountains with a roll of broken grass mats.
Over time, many of the bones were exposed, and the phosphorus in the bones oxidized in the bones, resulting in ghost fires at night.
Of course, this is a scientific explanation, and many experts and scholars in the medical field have agreed with this statement.
In addition, there is another saying that is absurd and terrifying, that is, everything in the world is opposite to the five elements, and different people have different lives, each corresponding to gold, wood, water, fire and earth.
After the death of people with different numerology, they will be transformed into different colors of yin fire, ordinary people can not see the yin fire, only the frail and sick people can see it, so I see that I meet the standards of watching the yin fire, after all, I only have a soul left, it is simply a void to the underworld.
Even so, I still can't figure it out, the yin fire only exists for a period of time after the death of a person, and the environment in front of me is a mass grave, let alone the people in it have been dead for decades, or even hundreds of years, why there is still a yin fire, which is neither in line with science, nor in line with the law of yin and yang spiritual affairs.
But anyway, now that they're in front of me, I'm going to find out.
I slowly approached the colorful points of light with the corpse oil lamp, and as the distance shortened, I gradually realized that they were actually flowers, almost the same size and shape as Mandarin, the only difference was that they shimmered with an eerie light.
I didn't reach for the flowers, but slowly crouched half a meter away from them and watched carefully.
The breeze blows, the colorful flowers sway in the wind, and a layer of fine dew hangs on them, which can be described as delicate.
It's strange, why didn't I see them when I passed by here just now? It wasn't time to open, or was it because I was negligent.
I pondered for a while, but I didn't understand what was going on.
So I turned my attention to the search for black mandolas, and I searched among the colorful flowers with a corpse oil lamp, but I could look at it from beginning to end, but I didn't see any black flowers.
At this time, the corpse oil lamp became a little dim, and most of the oil in it had been consumed.
I have to hurry, or all my efforts will be in vain when the oil lamp runs out.
But where to find the black mandalus, especially in this kind of dark night, the black flower has already merged with the night, without sharp eyes, I am afraid that I will not be able to find it for a while.
I stood in the middle of the graveyard with a corpse oil lamp, and occasionally I heard a few unknown birds and beasts chirping.
Now that I have no energy to be afraid, I want to find the black mandolin as soon as possible.
In the end, I made a bold and clumsy method, that is, to carry the corpse oil lamp for carpet touching, since Xu Ban said that there are mandalas here, then I believe that once he moves, as long as he moves quickly, he should be able to find it before the rooster crows.
But as soon as I bent down, I heard a beeping sound behind me, and I felt a thrill all over me.
