Chapter 0008: Ghost Press
According to the current scientific theory, the so-called ghost hitting the wall is actually just a natural phenomenon, many people have had such an experience, especially at night or in the suburbs, when a person is in a hurry, he will often play in a circle, and he can't go out for half a day.

It is said that biology did an experiment: he blindfolded a mallard and threw it into the sky, and you will be amazed to find that even in the endless open sky, the mallard flies in a circle, no matter how much it flapps its wings.
It is also said that someone has done such an experiment: he walked in a straight line on the playground with his eyes closed, and when he opened his eyes, he found that he had been going in circles.
In other words, the essence of all living motion is a circular motion, and if there is no goal, the instinctive motion of any living thing is circular. The reason for this peculiar situation is that there are subtle differences in the structure of the body of living beings.
For example, there are subtle differences in the strength and muscular development of the two wings of a bird, and there are also differences in the length and strength of a person's two legs, and the distance of such a step will be different.
It is said that the distance of the left leg of a person is long, and the distance of the right leg is short, and when accumulated, it must be a big circle, and the same is true for other creatures.
The reason why we are able to maintain a straight line is because we are constantly correcting our direction with our eyes, and the same is true for other birds and animals.
So modern science has come to the conclusion that the so-called ghost hitting the wall is just that you are lost in a particular environment. Your eyes and brain's correction function is not there, or the correction signal to you is false and chaotic, and you feel that you are walking in a straight line, but you are actually walking according to instinct, and what comes out must be a circle.
This is why many people will encounter ghosts around the cemetery, because the markers in those places are easy to confuse, and people recognize the direction mainly by the ground markers, when the similarity of these markers creates a certain illusion, it will bring you the wrong information, you feel that you still have a sense of direction, in fact, you have lost your way, if you don't stop, it can only be an instinctive movement, and coming out can only be a circle.
But the folk saying I heard about ghosts hitting the wall at the beginning is a different explanation. Especially during periods such as March 3, September 9 and Qingming Festival, people who are traveling in the wilderness seem to be more likely to encounter ghosts hitting the wall.
The third day of the third lunar month has different meanings for people from different regions and nationalities: some ethnic groups set this day as the Sunny Festival, some ethnic groups set this day as the Songkran Festival, and some places set this day as the Daughter's Day or the Peach Blossom Festival.
In our Jiangnan area, March 3, September 9 and July half, that is, July 15, like the Qingming Festival, are all days related to ghosts and gods.
"March 3, September 9, nothing to do by the river. ”
This is a proverb that has been passed down in our hometown for thousands of years, mainly because these two days are the turn of the seasons, and the rivers and lakes in the Yangtze River basin are full of thunderstorms and high winds and waves.
Of course, there is another mad saying.
March 3 is the birthday of Emperor Zhenwu, and it is also the day when the Queen Mother opens the peach party. The Queen Mother is well known to everyone, and the Monkey King who made trouble in the sky made her and her peach known to the world.
And the Emperor Zhenwu, I'm afraid the world knows very little.
We are all descendants of Yan and Huang, and when it comes to the two emperors of Yan and Huang, I am afraid that no one knows about it. Let's put it this way, Emperor Zhenwu is the father of Emperor Yan and Huang, and now you always understand who his old man is, right?
Whether it is the peach festival of the queen mother, or the birthday of our ancestors, all the gods and goddesses have to go to worship, in this way, no one cares about the lonely souls and wild ghosts in the underworld.
So they stirred up trouble everywhere and wrecklessly abused.
That is to say, on the night of the third day of the third month of March, the ghost I encountered hit the wall, maybe it was a little ghost who didn't have a fairy to care, and just played a joke on me.
Of course, this is just my wishful thinking, to be honest, except for Fu Xiaojun, I am not afraid of any ghosts, not because of anything else, just because he said that he was killed by me that day.
Although I didn't hurt him, let alone kill him, he insisted on relying on me, and I had nowhere to reason with him. If there really is a ghost in this world, I can only stay away from him.
I know that there are ghosts hitting the wall in this world, but I am not sure that the deputy battalion commander Zang Weiguo also knows that if I tell him that I have just encountered a ghost hitting the wall, he shouts at me that "nonsense" is a small matter, if I mistakenly think that I am propagating feudal superstition, in the era of class struggle every year, every month, and every day, my trouble will be great.
So I lied that there was heavy rain on the way back from the regiment headquarters, and I waited for a long time before leaving.
Zang Weiguo didn't say anything when he saw that I was fine, and the two veterans looked at me a little strangely, but because Zang Weiguo was there, they didn't say anything, so I didn't want to ask anything.
As soon as Zang Weiguo turned around, we followed him back to the camp.
When I returned to the bedroom and was ready to go to bed, I suddenly remembered what the second master said to me back then: "If you have a chance in the future, you'd better use tree roots or mud to be a villain. ”
I hurriedly ran to the outside of the barracks, climbed to the tree and broke a small branch, took it to the dormitory and sharpened it into a "big character" shape with a knife, and bowed with my hands together: "Heavenly Spirit, Earth Spirit, Second Master bless me safely!"
I'm not afraid of the occasional lonely ghost on the road, I'm afraid that Fu Xiaojun's ghost will not go away, so I have to pray for the protection of the second master.
After the prayer, I quickly turned off the lights and went to bed, and went to sleep under the quilt.
After a while, I suddenly felt movement outside the window, as if someone was standing outside the window and looking in.
If this is the first floor, it is nothing, maybe it is the deputy battalion commander Zang Weiguo or some veteran, see if I have slept. The problem is that my current dormitory is on the second floor, and it is a single room next to the battalion headquarters.
Thinking of this, I covered my head tightly with the quilt, and I didn't even dare to get out of the atmosphere, Zhen Nyima was going to be scared to death.
I don't know how long it took, but I started to feel a little dazed, and slowly I felt a feeling of being out of breath, and it was a strange feeling, like someone had put a thick quilt on me, and it was like someone was pressing on me.
When I was a child, I heard my parents say that you should not press your hands on your chest when you sleep, because that would give you nightmares, so I developed a habit of sleeping and never pressed my hands on my chest.
But now, my chest was literally pressed against something.
I opened my eyes and tried to push down the object on my body with my hands, but I found that although I didn't feel like I had no strength, I just couldn't move.
I snapped up and shouted, "What's going on?"
The reason why I asked this was to give myself courage, but I couldn't hear my own voice.
No, didn't you just scream?
"Deputy Battalion Commander——, Deputy Battalion Commander—" I blushed and shouted hysterically, even deliberately dragging out my voice, but I still couldn't hear my own voice, and I don't think anyone else could hear it either.
I was so frightened that I kicked my legs as hard as I could, but I sank deeper and deeper as if I were stepping on cotton. After a panic, I suddenly remembered the spell that the second master had taught me.
Now I can't care if the mantra that I once regarded as a limerick is useless, the so-called rush to the doctor, and hurriedly read: "Lingbao Tianzun, comfort the body." The soul of the four directions, the five internal organs. The green dragon and the white tiger, the team battles. Suzaku Xuanwu, the body of the guard. Haste as a law. ”
But I still didn't hear my own voice, and I couldn't move.
This is the purification mantra taught to me by the second master, which is said to allow the four righteous gods in the body to return to the right position, eliminate body karma, support the body, and defend the Taoist body. After I read it, it didn't work at all.
At the same time, I was amazed to feel the weight of my body getting heavier and heavier, and my breathing became cramped, and if I continued, I expected to end up suffocating my breath.
At this time, I remembered that the second master also taught me the vajra finger, so the ring finger of the right hand passed back from the middle finger, the index finger hooked the ring finger, the fingertips were down, the fingertips of the big finger and the little finger were all in the palm of the hand, the middle finger was facing up, and I recited the purification mantra again, and finally shouted: "Get up!"
A miracle happened.
I sat up with the quilt with a "whew", and my dizzy brain suddenly became clear, but my vest was all wet with cold sweat.
"Ghost press?"
Sitting in the dark dormitory, I couldn't help but ask myself.
There is no doubt that not only did I bump into a ghost on the road, but the ghost also followed me to the army and lay on top of me just now, which made me even more convinced that it must be the ghostly Fu Xiaojun who had found me, and I didn't dare to say it to anyone.
After sitting in the dark center for a while, I remembered the Pure Heart Mantra taught by the Second Master, which is said to be the first of the eight Taoist mantras, which is used by cultivators to purify their bodies and minds, eliminate distracting thoughts, and calm their minds when they do their homework in the morning and evening and when learning talismans.
The Pure Heart Mantra can bring the mind into silence, return to the mind of the Tao, and enter into tranquility. And it has the effect of protecting the soul and protecting the soul.
I took off my sweaty shirt, lay down in the quilt shirtless, and began to read: "Taishang Xingxing, strain without stopping, drive away evil spirits, protect life, wisdom and purity, peace of mind, three souls are eternal, and there is no loss of soul." ”
Then, I started running the Xiao Zhou Dan technique again until I fell asleep peacefully, and there was no more ghost pressing.
The next day, as soon as the wake-up call rang, I jumped up from the bed, and the laziness and confusion when I got up in the past were swept away, and some of them were just exceptionally fresh in the brain, although I was in the Northeast, I had a fresh and comfortable feeling of strolling in the water town in the south of the Yangtze River.
I don't know if it's the psychological effect, or if the Neidan technique is really showing its effect, in short, I think that although I have been making trouble all night, I feel very full of energy after waking up in the morning.
When I returned to my dorm room after the morning exercises, I bowed to the humanoid tree root again, and then went to the bathroom to wash up, and in my free time after breakfast, I deliberately tried to figure out the strangeness of the ghost hitting the wall and the ghost crushing last night.
