Chapter 38: Crying in the middle of the night
When Gu Mandong heard Mo Jinyan say this, he knew that he did not take the so-called psychic master seriously, but felt that it was just a false rumor and an exaggerated statement.
Maybe there are really some people in this world who have some special abilities, but it is too exaggerated for him to pass on that kind of Cheng dΓΉ.
Gu Mandong thought about it, and did not continue the topic.
After settling into the White Horse Inn, Kumandong took a comfortable hot bath and went to bed.
In the middle of the night, Kumandon was suddenly woken up by a cry.
It was a woman's cry, intermittent but tugging at her mind, making it impossible for her to sleep.
But when she got up to see who was crying, or where the cry was coming from, she found that after opening the window, the cry came from the outside, and it became clearer and clearer, but looking at the quiet streets around her, it stands to reason that such a clear cry made this town so calm.
In this way, Gu Mandong suddenly understood that this cry was not a human cry, but a ghost crying.
In the past, I had never heard the sound of a ghost in so many places, at most it was a figure passing by, or a ghost triggering some visions, but this was the first time I had heard such a real sound.
Faintly and carefully identified, Gu Mandong found that the direction from which the cry came was strangely consistent with the direction of the White Horse Temple, could it be the sequelae caused by the Ten Thousand Bones Tiankeng in the White Horse Temple?
Gu Mandong's movement on this side alarmed Mo Jinyan in the next room, and he saw that he also opened the window, poked his head from the next door, and looked at Gu Mandong.
"What's the matter? suddenly opened the window in the middle of the night to watch the night view?" Mo Jinyan yawned and asked a little lazily against the window lattice.
Gu Mandong's eyes flickered slightly, and he turned his head to look at Mo Jinyan.
"Have you ever heard any sounds?"
"Voice?" Mo Jinyan couldn't help but listen carefully for a moment, and said with a smile: "The sound of insects chirping in summer sounds quite comfortable. β
Gu Mandong narrowed his eyes, but he also confirmed his guess.
Mo Jinyan couldn't hear the cry, but she could hear it clearly, as clearly as close to her ears.
"What's wrong?is there any problem?" Mo Jinyan obviously felt Gu Mandong's abnormality, and couldn't help but ask.
"It's okay, just asking. Go to sleep. Tomorrow I will accompany me to the White Horse Temple, and I will need to move the spiritual seat of my parents and brother from the White Horse Temple and find another place to settle down. β
"Well, then you should rest early, too. Mo Jinyan said and closed the window and went back to sleep.
Looking at the closed window door on Mo Jinyan's side, Gu Mandong wanted to ignore the cry and go back to rest, but just as she was about to close the door, the original cry disappeared, followed by a pleading voice.
"Help us, woo...... Please help us, huh...... We don't want to die, woo...... Please save us......"
Gu Mandong suddenly felt a chill behind him, and hurriedly turned around, but he didn't find anything abnormal.
Is it a delusion?
If there was really a soul appearing, she was confident that she would not find any traces, but it didn't feel like a fake just now, but when she turned around, she found nothing.
"Am I too suspicious?" Gu Mandong muttered to himself.
At the beginning, the Ten Thousand Bones Sinkhole in the White Horse Temple impressed her too deeply, so that she had to suspect that this was not the psychological shadow left by the original incident.
After shaking his head, Gu Mandong decided not to think about it and went back to bed.
Just as she was about to fall asleep, the woman's cry sounded again, and there were more children's sobs, which kept Kumandon from sleeping.
But when she got up to check, the crying stopped.
This state of crying and cessation made Gu Mandon almost lose his spirit, and in the end he was so sleepy that he simply ignored the sound and fell into a deep sleep.
I slept until noon, when I woke up to a sharp knock on the door.
Gu Mandong, who was dressed in a coat, went to open the door, and as soon as he opened the door, he saw Mo Jinyan standing outside the door, and he was about to hit the door.
"What's wrong with you, why is your face so bad, pale as if you were seriously ill. Could it be that he is sick?" Mo Jinyan couldn't help but reach out and probe Gu Mandon's forehead, which was cold and sweaty.
"I'm fine, but I have some insomnia, I fell asleep when it was almost dawn, but I didn't sleep very well, I just woke up, I just seemed a little sluggish, don't worry. Gu Mandong pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled, but he didn't expect that his body actually had a sense of collapse, and the whole person was planted forward, but fortunately, Mo Jinyan's movements were fast, which didn't let her fall to the ground.
But this time, Gu Mandong also realized that something was wrong.
She knows her physical condition very well, and she is definitely not weak to this extent, but the current situation has happened.
Thinking of last night's cry, Gu Mandon knew it in his heart.
This state of affairs is recorded in the texts of the Gu clan.
Children who are born with excellent psychic qualifications, no matter how weak they are and when they are about to be promoted, they are most susceptible to the influence of the unjust soul's thoughts, however, this situation usually occurs within a radius of one mile where there is a place of extreme yin and a large number of souls with a common obsession with the existence of the soul, which will lead to the situation.
This kind of situation, the Gu clan calls it the disease of yin and evil, once the children of the Gu clan are affected, unless they can help the souls that affect them to be freed, they will be entangled for a lifetime, not to mention promotion, and even affect the length of yang life.
In the past, the Yin Evil Disease also caused the Gu clan to lose a lot of excellent clansmen, but it also created a legendary ancestor.
This evil disease has drawbacks and advantages.
All the ancestors who have suffered from the disease of yin evil and have been cured will have a significant increase in spiritual power, and in addition, the capacity of spiritual power is also better than that of ordinary clansmen.
The more severe the disease, the greater the benefits that can be obtained, which also means the greater the danger.
Gu Mandong vaguely guessed the source of his influence, but if it was really because of the White Horse Temple, this range exceeded the scope of the Gu clan's records.
In this way, Gu Mandong is not sure whether it is because of the Ten Thousand Bones Tiankeng of the White Horse Temple.
Mo Jinyan only thought that Gu Mandong was sick and invited a doctor to come to diagnose him, but he didn't expect that the doctor actually diagnosed Gu Mandong with wind and cold, or from internal cold.
It stands to reason that the disease of internal cold mostly occurs in winter, and it is really strange that it happens this summer.
But even so, the doctor still prescribed medicine for people to decoction for Gu Mandong to take, and the doctor in the town obviously did not investigate the reason.
After taking the medicine, Gu Mandong was drowsy, and felt in a daze that he was being carefully cared for, and when he woke up, it was already the middle of the night.
Mo Jinyan fell asleep on the edge of the bed, and the person who took care of her in a clear confusion was Mo Jinyan, the eldest young master.
