Chapter 44: A Game Within a Game

Of course, I've had that look on my face more than once. Let's just say that when I was about to face Zhang Yanli for the second time, I was even more out of shape at that time than now. There is also the ...... of wetting pants, specially, I don't mention it, whoever mentions me is in a hurry.

Therefore, it is normal for Lao Cai not to know. If you want to say how powerful this thing is to face next, it's fake, and comparing it with the red-robed female ghost really lowers the grade of the red-robed female ghost. I guess if the red-robed female ghost it, she can pinch it to death with one finger.

Because the red-robed female ghost doesn't feel like a ghost to me anymore, can I still be called a ghost if I can eat my five thunder talismans raw? Apparently not.

And no matter how bad that thing is at the Dawan Pass, it's just a ghost in the end. Even if it is a thousand-year-old ghost, then his uncle's is also a ghost. I still don't believe it, can it eat my five thunder talisman raw?

So with this mentality, I drew a few more Five Thunder Talismans. It's a pity that because I didn't occupy the time of the day, even though my Taoism has improved a lot compared to before, I haven't succeeded in a few times.

I recalled the second time I faced Zhang Yanli's evil spirit, I was in a hurry. I drew a few more amulets. Combat effectiveness can only be tested in actual combat, and can only be improved in actual combat. This is not false at all. Compared with the first time I was scared by Zhang Yanli to pee my pants, I have undoubtedly grown a lot now.

A few hours passed quickly, after going to Uncle Cheng's house for dinner. Lao Cai and I went back to my house and sat in the yard of my house smoking a cigarette.

When I went out, Uncle Cheng asked me again if it was really okay. I smiled at him and said you still don't believe me? If it was really dangerous, I would have run away.

Then I told him that I would go back and rest first, and that we would leave at about nine o'clock.

Lao Cai is not a child now, and Uncle Cheng doesn't care too much. Seeing him follow me out, I just told him not to disturb my rest.

"Tell me the truth, Lily. How sure are you? ”

Lao Cai sat on the stone steps next to me, took a puff of cigarette, and suddenly asked me.

I was stunned, when did Lao Cai's mind become so detailed? He used to draw talismans, but now he sees something?

I turned my head to look at him and saw that he was also looking at me with burning eyes.

It dawned on me. Lao Cai's impression to me has always been that kind of big grin and eclectic type. But in fact, he also has a delicate side. If nothing else, let's just say that I just came to our class. I remember one day the Chinese teacher assigned an essay with no limit on the subject and content. But more than 700 words.

Lao Cai wrote an article "What's wrong with my hometown". In this composition, Lao Cai's emotions are expressed very richly. From the small river of childhood to the stinky ditch of today, from the blue sky and white clouds to the raging haze, from the green mountains and green waters to the "loess high slope".

With more than 2,000 words sprinkled around, I was stupid when the Chinese teacher recited his essay to the class. It turns out that he has been hiding his strength?

However, since that essay came out, Lao Cai's essay has never passed. The Chinese teacher suspected that he had copied the essay at that time. Lao Cai still complained to me in private, how can I write an essay well and no one believes it? What is the ...... of the world?

I know that Lao Cai's essay was written by himself, and although it is hard to believe, there is no doubt about it, because I was next to him when he wrote that essay.

I just remembered that Lao Cai usually has a lot of nerves. But sometimes he is more delicate than anyone else. I also figured out why Lao Cai didn't do anything to comfort me when he learned that I wouldn't live to be twenty years old. In fact, it was not that he didn't care about me, but he felt that such comfort had no effect on me at all. It's self-defeating to say badly.

Real pain can only be smoothed out with time. Just like a couple of lovers who love each other, it can hurt after separation. At this time, any form of comfort seems to be pale and powerless, and the only effective way is not to mention it to anyone, and it will naturally get better after a long time.

My pain is not a pain, but there are some similarities to the example I just had.

Where we are similar. After lovers break up, they often recall memories of the past at a certain time and on a certain occasion, because they saw something that seemed familiar. And then cause a dusty scar in the bottom of the heart.

And me? Yes. Maybe it's a casual passage, or maybe something evokes my yearning for life, and indirectly reminds me of the fact that I won't live to be twenty years old. It made me lose confidence in life in an instant, and suddenly I felt that my life was gloomy. Despair, powerlessness, and helplessness can break my mood in an instant.

Lao Cai seemed to be very free and easy when he was with me, but in fact, he should be very careful with me. Even every action and every sentence was passed through my mind several times before I dared to say it to me.

Because in the days I spent with Lao Cai, I never suddenly broke my mood because of a certain sentence or action. On the contrary, when I was with him, I felt very relaxed, and even the sad news that I would not live to be twenty years old was left behind me.

How can such a person be a person with big nerves and a big grin?

I looked at Lao Cai's serious expression, and suddenly felt that I was lucky to have such a friend. At the same time, the idea of not wanting to deceive him was born.

So I was stunned for a moment. said to him: "To tell the truth, if you want to say that you are sure, there are only three percent." If the situation is not as bad as I thought, it should be about fifty percent. Because judging from the intensity of the evil qi in that place, the strength of that thing is estimated to be dozens of times stronger than Zhang Yanli, who turned into a powerful ghost. ”

That is, if I'm going to win that thing. Coupled with my experience in dealing with evil spirits a few times, I am at least ten times stronger than my previous strength. Again, this is a conservative estimate.

Do I have the strength? Even I don't have a score.

Lao Cai hurriedly said, "Then why don't you call ......." ”

Halfway through the conversation, Lao Cai didn't say any more, because he probably also thought of the reason why I didn't ask my grandfather for help.

"Anyway, it's not a threat to that thing in the current situation. It's a big deal to change the route, can't we pass from there? …… Yes, that's it, I'm going to tell my dad now. ”

After Lao Cai finished speaking, he stood up and was about to walk out the door.

I hurriedly grabbed him, sighed, lowered my head and said to him, "It's too late...... ”

"Too late? How could it be too late, haven't we gone to trouble that thing yet? ”

Lao Cai asked me with some excitement.

I continued to keep my head down, dragging Lao Cai with one hand. After a while, he said: "Lao Cai, I tell you something, but don't be excited, listen to me calmly." All right? ”

Lao Cai looked at me a little inexplicably, and then nodded.

Seeing Lao Cai like this, I took out a cigarette from Lao Cai's pocket and lit it. After taking a sip, he slowly said to him: "Lao Cai, in fact, if we don't care, Uncle Cheng will probably be gone after coming back next week." Perhaps even those workers who build the road will encounter accidents, and none of them will be spared...... ”

As soon as my voice fell, Lao Cai's right hand holding a cigarette trembled violently. Shen asked me, "What do you mean?" ……。 ”

"Do you remember the hole? If I'm not mistaken, there should be an ancient tomb down there. I don't dare to say how many years there are, but at least more than a hundred years. According to my grandfather, there are either no evil things in the tombs, and if there are, they must be very powerful. Because in general, ghosts don't stay in one place for hundreds of years. If there is, it is nothing more than two cases. One is to be sealed by the masters, and the other is to be trapped by the terrain. ”

"You don't know Feng Shui, but you probably feel the weirdness of that place. Think about a place where the total number of days in a year doesn't add up to a few days of sunlight. Is it a natural place for ghosts to cultivate? And that thing hasn't been discovered by my grandfather for decades, which means that it is not cultivating there, but trapped by the terrain. ”

I took a puff of my cigarette and continued: "If you look closely, you will see that there are mountains on three sides, especially the mountain in the southwest, which is more than twice as tall as the other two. There is a proverb in "Yin and Yang Theory": The southwest opens the ghost door opens, and the southwest closes the ghost door and closes the ....... This sentence means that the southwest direction is the direction where the ghost gate is located, so whether we are arranging the formation or doing anything, the first thing that comes to mind is to use the southwest position. ”

"According to the "Yin and Yang Theory", this place should be a natural place to suppress evil things. The bad thing is that the other two mountains block the sunlight, so that the yang energy will be washed away by the yin energy when it arrives. With the help of one another, it becomes a paradise for ghosts. I think my grandfather must have known this, so the wild graves placed here are just a simple grave. Their owners may have been reincarnated several times ago. ”

When I said this, Lao Cai asked me, "If you say that, what's going on with that thing?" Didn't you say that it was suppressed here by the topography? Also, what do you think my dad is in danger? ”

I waved my hand to signal him to listen to me, and then continued, "You're right, with this kind of terrain, it's no longer a natural place to suppress ghosts. So another situation that arises is a game within a game. What is a game within a game? As a simple example, do you remember Zhang Yanli? She was sealed there, and then used Maoshan evil art to make a ghost raising array, with the purpose of cultivating Zhang Yanli's ferocity and making Zhang Yanli a powerful ghost. ”

"And here and there. Under this general environment, it should be the reason for the topography, and a small environment has been formed. I don't know what kind of environment it is, because the mountains and rivers change over time. And under this kind of change, sometimes a coincidental formation will be formed, and this formation can just seal the evil things inside. It is mentioned in the "Treatise on Ancient and Modern Formations" that it may be because of the balance of heaven and the equality of all beings. In this natural ghost-raising terrain environment, the chance of a game within a game is many times greater than in other places. ”

"Part of the reason I'm sure that thing was trapped by the terrain and not sealed by a superior is because of this. Part of it is because if there is a master who wants to seal evil things, he will not choose this kind of place. ”

"This kind of ghost thing is actually the most powerful and the most vindictive. Because he has been sealed for so many years for no reason, he is in the natural ghost raising array. Once they come out, they will definitely be extremely powerful. And the vindictive spirit is strong? ......, think about it, if you were imprisoned for decades for no reason, what would you think after you came out? That's it. ”

Lao Cai was silent after listening to my words, and only asked me after half a ring: "You mean that the small environment there was destroyed, causing that thing to come out, right?" ”

I nodded. Lao Cai was silent for a moment before asking, "Then what do you say my father is in danger?" There are so many people in this village, why is my father and those road builders in danger? ”

Seeing Lao Cai's expression, I guessed that he might already know the reason, but he just couldn't believe it.

So I said to him, "You know, that thing should have come out once last night." It's just that it may not have aroused ferocity because of its age. Once it is given time to react, it will definitely go on a killing spree, and the first person it sees will not be able to escape. ”
