Chapter 60: Lighting the Soul Lamp
Originally, I was about to fall asleep, but suddenly I heard this and woke up suddenly.
"What?"
"Chasing me?"
"Master Qi! My Mr. Qi, don't speculate randomly, if you guess like this, it will scare people's lives. "
Kowloon pulling the coffin after me? It's a fantasy.
The drunkard was taken aback by my reaction.
"What are you arguing about, that's what I said."
"Don't talk nonsense."
"Good, good."
After such a fuss, I couldn't sleep, and when it was almost dawn, I squinted for a while, and soon woke up.
Went out for a bite to eat. Drunkard Qi asked Kiki and me to go back to the hotel, and he wanted to check the origin of the old woman last night.
He'd been here before, and although he wasn't familiar with it, he knew some networking.
It was really inappropriate to bring us two raw melons and eggs, so we were asked to go back and wait.
Just then, I went back to rest and sleep.
Maybe it's because with a grimace on his back, he always gets tired easily, and he gets tired after walking a few steps.
I went back and slept all morning, at noon. Kiki came back from buying food, and we ate at the hotel and didn't go out again.
She didn't seem to want to be alone with me, so she went back to her room after eating.
I sat on my bed when I had nothing to do. Start your practice.
I have memorized all the contents of the parchment in my spare time, and I don't need to look at it anymore, I can recall it when I think about it.
Between the breath, there is yin and yang, and the demeanor is sufficient, and the five elements are divided...
When practicing, I silently recite the mantra and naturally make gestures in my hands, becoming more and more proficient and deeper.
Without the guidance of a master, this can be regarded as self-taught, but I don't know what level I have.
This closed-eye practice, before I knew it, was an afternoon that passed.
A knock on the door woke me up.
I opened my eyes suddenly, the aura on my body was completely constricted, and the moment I opened my eyes, I faintly saw a vague figure sitting on the sofa in front of me.
Grimace Bodhisattva.
Naturally, it sensed it, and it came back to my back in an instant.
And I can't see it anymore.
"Is it a delusion?" I shook my head.
The knock on the door became heavier and heavier, interrupting my train of thought, and without thinking too much, I went to open the door first.
It was a little girl who knocked on the door. He looks like he is almost eleven or twelve years old, dressed ordinarily, dressed like a rural child, but his appearance is quite delicate.
"Brother, hello, someone asked me to give this to you."
She handed over a paper bag, which looked like an envelope.
I took it and asked, "Who gave it to me?" "
"I don't know."
She replied, turned around and ran, no matter how she shouted, she didn't look back.
Confused, I closed the door and opened the envelope.
Inside is a quirky piece of paper.
The paper is a little yellowish, not the usual white, and there is a kind of leather texture to the touch, which is very soft, and there are some faint pores on it.
And it's not complete, and it's very strange when it's fully spread out.
"What is this? I couldn't help but mutter.
"Hee-hee, human skin lantern."
The voice behind me sent a shiver down the board.
Naturally, it is a grimace bodhisattva who speaks.
Stunned, I glanced at what I was holding and threw it out.
Human skin?
It does feel like human skin.
Lantern?
If you think about it, holding up the "paper" just now seems to be a lantern.
Human skin lanterns.
"That old woman!" I shouted.
Last night, she grabbed me and was going to skin me and make a lantern.
It looks like you've come to the door.
At this time, there was another knock on the door outside.
My body shook in fright. Hurriedly asked, "Who?" "
"Me!"
Qi drunkard's voice, I breathed a sigh of relief.
When he opened the door, he found that it was a drunkard, so he completely relaxed and let him come in quickly.
Seeing that I didn't look right, he asked, "What's wrong?" "
I pointed to the skin on the ground and said, "It should be that old woman yesterday who found someone to give her a human skin that didn't hold up." "
"I also found out, the old woman's surname is Xiang, and she is called Grandma Xiang on the road. It is said that he used to worship under the door of the medicine gate, but he did not learn the right way, and studied the evil demon outside the way all day long, so he was driven out of the medicine gate, and then lived here, and also accepted a few apprentices, and harmed many people. I like to make human skin lanterns, and every month on the first day, second day of February, March third and other days and months are the same, I will go to the river to patrol the river, and when I meet people, I will grab the human skin lantern, and then put the lantern on the river. I don't know what kind of fame it is. "
I asked, "If she harms people here, no one cares?" "
"I can't do it." The drunkard said in a deep voice: "This old woman has some doorways, some people have wanted to get rid of her, but they have all taken their own lives and died a few times." No one dared to provoke her anymore. "
"The people of the medicine gate, don't they care?"
The drunkard shook his head: "I told you, the medicine gate is now the largest gate, and this is not only the completeness of the inheritance, but also the number and scope of the people involved." Many people used to worship under the door of Yaomen, but later most of them broke away, and they were nowhere to be found, but they didn't care. All they can do is restrain the existing people on record as much as possible. "
