Chapter 74: Troublesome Ghosts (5)
"I'm here, I'll do my best. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoTonight, your whole family is going to stay at a neighbor's house for one night. Whatever you hear, don't come in. You know what?"
They nodded in unison, and before leaving, they told us to be careful.
I accompanied Grandpa Hu back to the weird room again. The room was eerily quiet. It was obviously an enclosed space, but there was an inexplicable chill that rushed towards my face. I don't know if Grandpa Hu also felt this unusual cold air. This chill is not something that a single shirt can cover. It's dangerous here. That's how I first responded.
Grandpa Hu pondered by the window for a few seconds, and then paced to the mirror. He stepped forward and touched the mirror, knocked it with his hand, and the sound of "dong dong" echoed in the room. Somehow, I always felt that something was wrong with the sound. But if I have to say something specific, I don't know. I looked around a few times, trying to distract from some of my uneasiness.
At this moment, Grandpa Hu took out a brush and a small bottle of black dog blood from the box, dipped the brush in black dog blood, and waved the dragon and snake on the mirror surface a few times, drawing a spell. When he was done, he revealed an indescribable countenance.
Just when I wanted to open my mouth to ask him, he suddenly spoke, "Xiaoqing, you have grown up and experienced many things, are you still afraid of those things now?"
"I'm a little scared, what's wrong?"
"If you want to go into the world of the mirror, would you like to go?"
"The world in the mirror?" I looked at him quizzically, trying to know more from him.
Maybe it's because my eyes are full of too many doubts. He let out a long sigh and muttered, "In every space, there will be countless parallel spaces, which exist with each other but do not interfere with each other. For example, in the space we are in, there is another parallel space with the same identity, just like twin brothers, born from the same root but with different personalities. They are all split in two and exist independently. There will be cracks in every space, which is what we call the door of another world. Under normal circumstances, these cracks will not appear, but it is not excluded that in special cases, due to some uncertain energy, the door of the gap will open. This room, this mirror, is the door between the cracks. ”
After listening to his words, there was a lingering surprise on my face. I was a little confused, as he just said, the crack door was the first time I had heard the word, and I didn't even know what it meant after hearing it. I could only stay where I was.
Seeing my surprised expression, he shook his head helplessly, "I know, now that I say it, you don't quite understand it." You just need to know that there is another space in the mirror, and I don't know exactly what the space is, so do you dare to go?"
Looking at his expectant eyes, but when he thought of going to that place, he didn't know what terrible things he would face. Suddenly, the courage that had just risen in my heart leaked a lot. Obviously, Grandpa Hu didn't say anything when he saw my hesitant demeanor, he looked at the mirror with his eyes, but sighed secretly in his heart: "Is there no other way?"
I saw that his lips were tightly pursed into a line, and his eyes were mixed with a lot of affection. Apologies, helplessness, sorrow. I suddenly opened my mouth, "Grandpa Hu, the other world you just talked about. Is it only me who can get in?" he didn't expect me to say such a sentence, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes trembled a little, and his lips opened a little, but they quickly closed again, as if there was something unspeakable.
He was silent for a long time. He walked up to me, stood beside me, and said, "Well, that's your mission. ”
Although there is light in the room, it is faint enough to illuminate the entire space. The darkness that was hidden became more and more treacherous, and many dark shadows of resentment came out. However, it was only for a moment, and when I looked around, I saw that there was silence all around, and there was no half a shadow.
Hearing him say this, I suddenly remembered the other world that I had unintentionally entered in the cave, and the space I walked into in the field of the ridge. It turns out that there are many things that I can't choose. I smiled wryly and fell into mixed thoughts.
Although Grandpa Hu was talking to me, he kept staring at me in front of him, as if he was waiting for something to reply. He didn't say anything more, just looked at me quietly.
After a while, I smiled and said, "Then how do I get in?"
When he heard my words, the wrinkles that were originally not smiling at the corners of his eyes unfolded, and he also laughed, "Wait for me to do it, let your soul leave your body, and you will naturally be able to enter." Another thing you have to know is that you can only stay in for five minutes at a time, and after five minutes, your soul will automatically return to your physical body. And this time you go, I want you to observe what is wrong with that space, and come back and tell me. ”
"It's only five minutes, so what if I can't find it?"
"You can only keep going back and forth until you find it. ”
"What is the meaning of abnormality? Grandpa Hu, can you elaborate on it? I don't really understand. ”
"It's up to you to comprehend this, and I don't know the specifics. As he spoke, he pulled out a small glass hourglass from the box. It consists of two glass spheres and a narrow connecting pipe, and the transparent glass contains fine gray dust.
He locked his gaze on me and said softly, "This is the hourglass of time, where sand flows through the narrow pipe from the glass above and into the glass ball at the bottom. Time is measured with this device. Once all the sand has flowed down to the bottom of the glass ball, it means that your time in the other world is up, and your soul will return to your physical body. ”
I nodded. Gesture to understand what he said.
Next, Grandpa Hu pasted the yellow paper with symbols on my head, back, hands and feet. He saw that my face was pale, his round eyes were wide open, and his hands and feet were trembling. He patted me lightly on the shoulder and said slowly, "Don't worry, I'll be watching you, but you have to be careful yourself." ”
At this time, the room was so quiet that I could hear my breathing, and my heart was beating wildly. It turns out that extreme stillness is also a kind of torture. I'm now trapped in a cage from which I can't escape, in a dilemma. At the same time, the reflection of the chair behind me floated out of the ground with a black mist, and as the black mist dissipated, the cold cliff that remained in the air took the opportunity to burrow into the gap in my skin, and suddenly, I felt like my whole body was wrapped in ice, and the cold was biting. Invisibly, there are countless needle punctures, piercing into the skin and penetrating into the bones. The body trembled unconsciously. Seeing me like this, Grandpa Hu didn't say a word, so he waved a few times above my forehead, chanting words in his mouth, and after a while, the chill gradually dissipated from my body. There was something just now.
I didn't even enter the other world, so I wanted to hurt me, wouldn't it be even more rampant when I entered?
