Chapter 30: A False Alarm
What is "Soul Hitting the Wall"?
The old people in the village say that it is a dark night, and if you take an infrequent path or take a shortcut to go home, there may be an insurmountable "wall" in front of you on the left and in front of you. It's only a few hundred meters away, but walking, walking, walking for two or three hours, you can't walk to the end, where do you go? It turned out that going around there, no matter what, I couldn't get out of that "strange circle".
Even if there are pits and rivers on the "road" sandwiched by the "wall", they will "move forward bravely" until they fall into the deep pit and die, and fall into the river alive and drown, so there are still many people who are directly killed by the spirit hitting the wall.
If I really encounter this situation, my grandfather also told me the solution, absolutely not panic, concentrate all your attention, keep your eyes open, see clearly all the objects around you that can be used as a reference, and then walk, if you still can't get out, then stay where you are, don't go anywhere, and wait until dawn, this spirit will break the wall by itself, which is also the best way to protect yourself.
But if I stay where I am with Lin Xiaoqin tonight, it will definitely not work, because Brother Niu Zi is still waiting for me by the sarcophagus.
"Chen Yi, what should I do? Have we met a spiritual ...... Soul hit the wall? Lin Xiaoqin looked around vigilantly and asked me.
"I told you not to follow, you didn't listen, are you scared now?" I said.
"Humph! I'm not afraid, I'm just asking you what you should do when you encounter a spirit hitting the wall, aren't you an apprentice of the Qingfeng Dao Master? This spirit hitting the wall shouldn't be too difficult for you. Lin Xiaoqin looked at me expectantly.
"That, that's nature, it's hard for me to hit the wall." As I spoke, I took out what I had been carrying with me, and there was everything in Chief Qingfeng's bag, and there was only such a book in this small bag that I had with me.
When I opened this book, I looked at it with a flashlight, trying to look inside to see if I had cracked the magic of this spirit hitting the wall.
Seeing this, Lin Xiaoqin asked me:
"Chen Yi, why do I feel that you are not very reliable, can you sharpen your gun like this?"
I didn't answer Lin Xiaoqin, I found the table of contents and began to look through them one by one, and sure enough, I found the title of the Lingda Wall on the second page, and I turned to the page of the Lingda Wall according to the prompts.
After reading it carefully, the book says:
"The phenomenon of the spirit hitting the wall is first real, when people close their eyes or at night or in the suburbs, there will be a slight difference in the length of the two feet unconsciously, and then people will fall into a circle with a radius of 3000m, in this case, do not panic, because this is not a "spirit" haunting, but a hazy state of people unconsciously.
It can be explained that if you blindfold a mallard and throw it into the sky, it will start flying, but if it is an open sky, you will find that it must fly out in a circle.
If you don't believe it, you can try again by yourself, blindfold yourself, walk in a straight line on the school playground, and ask a friend to take a picture of it for you, and finally you find that you are walking in a big circle.
In a word, the essence of biological motion is circular motion. If there is no goal, the instinctive movement of any living being is a circle.
These can be experimented on on their own, and they are absolutely true. ”
Seeing that this explained the phenomenon of the spirit hitting the wall so comprehensively, I immediately breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that there was not really any spirit doing the trick, it seemed that this was quite comprehensive, there was everything.
The best solution is to find a good reference
When I saw this, I closed it and looked up at the stars in the sky, but fortunately the weather was good and the stars were bright.
The Big Dipper is also very easy to find, and the brightest star in the north in the night sky is the Big Dipper.
"I know how to crack this spirit wall, you follow me." I said to Lin Xiaoqin, and walked along the North Star in the sky, just as the sarcophagus we went to was the north of the village.
After walking for a while, Lin Xiaoqin pointed to the field in front of her and said:
"Ah Yi, look, we're coming out."
"Hmm." I agreed, quickened my footwork, and walked towards the back of the field, and not far away, in the middle of a wasteland, where the sarcophagus was.
When Lin Xiaoqin and I rushed to the vicinity of the sarcophagus, we didn't see Brother Niu Zi!
My heart tightened at the moment, and when I looked at the strange and terrifying sarcophagus, a very ominous premonition suddenly surged in my heart, and I hurriedly shouted around:
"Brother Niuzi! Brother Niuzi! Brother Niuzi! ……”
Except for the low sound of the wind, no one answered me.
"Ah Yi, you—Who are you called?" Lin Xiaoqin's face turned pale, and she looked at me a little gloomy and asked.
Seeing her like this, I reacted, Lin Xiaoqin didn't know that Brother Niu Zi was also here, she saw me screaming at this sarcophagus, and it was strange that she wasn't afraid.
"My name is a big brother in the village, I originally stayed here with him to watch this sarcophagus, I went back to the village to borrow a lighter, and when I came back, the others disappeared." I explained to Lin Xiaoqin, and I was even more anxious.
When I said the word "lighter", I suddenly thought of the life-saving incense I gave to Brother Niu Zi, which did not ignite dry firewood, if there was any danger, how could Brother Niu Zi light the incense? !
I'm a stupid B! How can such a serious problem be ignored?! Could it be that Brother Niu Zi really encountered something?
I don't dare to think about it anymore......
"Brother Niuzi, are you here?!" I shouted over to the sarcophagus.
Still no one answered me, looking at the strange sarcophagus, my heart was completely bottomless, and cold sweat flowed down.
"Ah Yi, will that Brother Niu Zi you said be scared here alone, and run back to the village first?" Lin Xiaoqin looked around and said to me.
I shook my head and said to Lin Xiaoqin affirmatively:
"Although I have known Brother Niu Zi for a short time, I can be sure that he will never go back by himself, he is not that kind of person at all."
"What about others? It won't be ...... in that sarcophagus" Lin Xiaoqin said this, and knew that she had lost something, so she hurriedly covered her mouth and didn't continue.
In our rural areas, there is a popular saying that "don't talk about people during the day, don't talk about the spirit at night", which means don't discuss the rights and wrongs of others behind your back during the day, because acquaintances will be around you during the day, and at night is the time when the spirit is haunted.
Misfortune comes from the mouth, that's what it means.
"Let's go, let's look around." As I spoke, I was going to take Lin Xiaoqin to look carefully around the sarcophagus, if Brother Niu Zi encountered something long, I would have to blame myself to death.
Just when Lin Xiaoqin and I were about to go behind the sarcophagus together and look for someone along the forest, a black shadow suddenly walked out from behind the sarcophagus.
The black shadow that suddenly came out from behind the sarcophagus stopped me in place, and Lin Xiaoqin, who was following me, was directly frightened and screamed, grabbed my arm and dragged it back.
Could it be that the son and mother in the sarcophagus came out?!
Thinking of this, my legs and stomach almost didn't cramp and turned to the front, and while stepping back with Lin Xiaoqin, I trembled and took out the "corpse talisman" given to me by Qingfeng Dao from my pocket and held it tightly in my hand.
At the same time, the black shadow walked in front of the sarcophagus, and the flashlight in my hand was just right to shine on him.
I never thought it was him!
"Cow ...... Brother Niuzi? ...... "I can see that this black shadow coming out from behind the sarcophagus is after Brother Niu Zi. First the shock, then the surprise!
"What's the matter, brother? What do you see I'm afraid of? Brother Niu Zi looked at me and Lin Xiaoqin and shouted puzzled.
I stared at Brother Niu Zi, and looked at it from beginning to end, and after making sure that the person in front of me was Brother Niu Zi, I breathed a sigh of relief, looked at him and said:
"I said, Brother Niu Zi, what were you doing behind that sarcophagus just now? If you don't speak for a long time, and you come out without saying a word, who can not be afraid? While I spoke, I deliberately shone a flashlight on Brother Niu Zi, and found that there was a shadow, and the last trace of worry in my heart was put down.
Because I grew up hearing the old people in the village say that the spirit has no shadow.
"Oh, I was waiting for you to be sleepy just now, and I fell asleep behind the sarcophagus......" Niu Zige scratched his head and said.
Listening to his words, I almost didn't fall, and I can still fall asleep next to a zombie sarcophagus with two corpses, how strong does this need to be?!
Anyway, I can't, I can't kill or not.
"Who's that girl behind you?" Brother Niu Zi looked at Lin Xiaoqin behind me and asked.
"She is my classmate Lin Xiaoqin, this is Brother Niu Zi, the person I just looked for."
After Lin Xiaoqin and Brother Niu Zi got to know each other, the three of us began to light the pile of firewood on the ground, gathered around, and after the firewood was lit, Brother Niu Zi sat back intentionally or unintentionally, and then looked at me and asked:
"I said, brother, why have you been back for so long? Only coming back now?
