Chapter 3: Illusion

"Blood grapes? No wonder the blood in it is red, that thing is not poisonous, right? Was I really in the Netherworld at that time? Did I almost die?"

I felt like crying, and I almost didn't see my father.

My father didn't answer me, but started to clean up the things next to him, and seeing how anxious he looked, he dropped things on the ground several times.

"You lie down first, I'll go through the discharge procedures, and we'll go home." ”

After my father said this, he hurried out, leaving me blank and completely unaware of what was happening.

The next second my old headache came again, and this time the pain was different from the previous one. The whole head seemed to be struck by lightning, and something was about to come out of the brain, tearing the whole head. If I hadn't been able to bear this pain since I was a child, I think I would have fainted from the pain.

Tearing like lightning, some strange scenes appeared in my mind. They were like fragments, constantly flashing back in front of my eyes.

A big locust tree, a towering locust tree. There was a little girl lying on it, she was crying, she couldn't get down, and a young woman came out of the yard. She shouted anxiously, but I couldn't hear what she said, but the woman's face, though I had seen it for the first time, seemed to have known it a long time ago. But I don't know who she is, I just know that she is so familiar and even somewhat affectionate.

Then two more men came out, one who looked like the woman's husband, and the other who was older, like their father. But their faces are so familiar, so familiar to me.

Soon the young man went up the tree and saved the little girl. When I saw the little girl and the woman hugging each other and crying, my heart felt like it had been cut by a knife, and I was almost heartbroken, and I cried too.

When the nurse came in, I was holding my head and crying on the bed. They thought I was in pain, but they didn't know that my heart was hurting more than my head at the moment.

In a trance, I saw the nurse inject me with the medicine, and then I didn't know anything, and the moment I closed my eyes, I saw my father rush in.

This time I slept deeply and didn't dream any more. Finally, after a long day of hard work, I had a good rest. When I woke up, it was already evening, I was lying in my bed, and my father had taken me home.

My home is a simple farmhouse, it's quiet, and it's so real when birds fly by the window in the evening.

The door was pushed open and my little flower ran in, it was a dog in our house, I don't know how old it was, I just knew that for as long as I can remember, there has been this dog. It's an old dog, but it's cute.

Xiaohua has white and black dog hair all over her body, so I named it Xiaohua.

It came to my bed, wagging its tail at me. I reached out to touch its head, and it licked my palm very enthusiastically, warm and comfortable.

My father came in and called me to eat, and I took Xiaohua to the dining table. When eating, his father's expression was solemn, and he didn't have the usual smile, even when Xiaohua went to ask him for food, he threw a piece of meat at random, and didn't tease it like before.

I vaguely felt that my father might have something big, and this matter should have something to do with me.

I was right, my father solemnly called me to me after eating.

He asked me to tell him everything I had encountered in the underworld, and when I finished speaking, my father sighed.

"No wonder I tried a lot of methods, but I couldn't find your soul, it turned out that you drank the wine of the underworld. Blood grapes can cleanse you of your corpse, but they can also open your seals, and they will detect your identity, so it seems that tonight will not be spared. ”

My father's words confused me, and I still had a lot of things I couldn't think about, and before I could ask him, he took me to the side room.

This house is an extremely mysterious place for me. My father didn't let me in when I was a child, and he carried the key to the door with him, and locked it every time he came out, but now he took the initiative to bring me in, which made me feel the seriousness of the matter even more.

The room was very clean, only a table made of jujube mahogany, on which a tablet was enshrined, a small yellow cloth bag was placed on the table, a conspicuous Taoist costume hung on the wall, and a double-row Five Emperor Qian evil sword was wardened.

I got closer and saw the word narcissus written on the tablet.

Looking at the furnishings and ritual utensils in the house, I couldn't help but think of the words of the old woman in the underworld, there are masters around me, is my father a master?

When I was confused, my father had already set up a formation. The formation is a circle surrounded by cinnabar, and two bowls of water are placed in it.

"Light spirit, you go and sit inside, remember that no matter what happens tonight, no matter what you see, you don't go out of this circle, and when tomorrow dawns, I will come and call you. ”

My father pointed to the circle and said to me solemnly.

I obediently entered the circle, sat down between the two bowls of water, and followed my father's instructions in a meditative position.

My father told me that I must be one and the same, not to think about messing around, and if I see something, I can choose to close my eyes and recite the Diamond Sutra silently.

My father told me again and again that whatever I saw was an illusion and a fake. Don't get out of this formation. He sighed deeply as he left, and he said that there were some things that he had to rely on.

The door was shut, and I was left alone. By this time it was already dark, and my father had turned on all the lights in the house, so that I could alleviate some of my fears.

At first, I was still highly concentrated, for fear that something would come in, but after a long time, there was no movement, and I gradually relaxed a little.

After sitting cross-legged for a long time, my legs were a little sore, so I changed my movements, sat on the ground and pressed my legs, while looking at the clock on the wall, it was already past ten o'clock at night.

A light breeze blew and I felt very cool. Then a tall figure pushed the door in, and when I saw the person clearly, my heart couldn't help but pound.

He is the president of Liu Zhi's class, he is very handsome, has good academic performance, and is also the object of my crush. It's a pity that he only reads the books of the sages, and although we are at the front and back tables, he has never liked me. At this time, he came to our house, and I couldn't help but think about it.

"Guangling, I heard that you are sick and have delayed the college entrance examination, so I came to see you. ”

His voice was as good as ever, and I couldn't help but feel refreshed.

"Is it really you, squad leader?" I felt like I was falling into the clouds.

He smiled, a charming smile.

"Why don't you want me to come?"

I look forward to you every day!

"No, it's just a little inconvenient today, and I can't receive you. ”

I tried to explain, I couldn't let the male god misunderstand me.

Liu Zhi was not angry because of this, but smiled brightly.

"As long as I see that you are okay, I am relieved, I was born in the city, I have never been to the countryside, when I came, I saw the lotus pond outside the village, the lotus flowers are blooming, it is really beautiful. Guangling, would you like to go with me to see the lotus flowers? Let's enjoy the lotus together, and look at the stars together. ”

I want to think about it, I dream about it. My heart flew with it, but thinking of my father's explanation, I couldn't get out of this circle.

"I'm sorry, I can't go with you now, how are you tomorrow? I'll go with you tomorrow. ”

I'm really disappointed.

"Spirit, don't you like me? I thought you liked me. You know what? Every time I go to class, I can feel you behind me, and I feel so relieved. Every time you walk past me, I want to hold you. But you know, school doesn't allow you to fall in love, and I love you so secretly every day. Okay now, we've graduated, and no one can take care of us, don't you like coming with me?"

Liu Zhi's face was full of loss and sadness, which made me feel extremely distressed.

"No, it's not like that. I really can't go out today, how will I be tomorrow?"

I tried my best to explain.

Liu Zhi looked at me lonely, turned around to leave, and his voice contained too much disappointment.

"I can't stay so many days, I'm leaving early tomorrow morning, and I really want to look at the stars with you tonight. I thought you liked me too, but I didn't expect me to be self-inflicted. ”

Don't go, don't go! Watching Liu Zhi leave step by step, I felt that my soul had left with him, this feeling was very uncomfortable, and a voice kept telling me that I must keep him and go with him. He was the first person I loved and had to keep him.
