Chapter 20: The Ghost of the Old Building (12)
"The second one to die was me." Teacher Ling turned his head and looked at the boy in blue gently and bitterly, caressing his hair lovingly, "I'm his mother." ”
Hearing this, my heart was sour, and I couldn't help but think of Teacher Ling's gentle concern for me before.
"What? You're his mother?! …… Who are you? Chang Qing abruptly let go of the hand covering his forehead, and stepped in front of her with an arrow step.
"You haven't guessed who I am?" Teacher Ling glanced at Chang Qing with a slight sarcasm.
"Impossible! How could you be ......" Chang Qing had a strange face, as if he didn't believe his guess.
"What's impossible? The designer of this building is my husband. Teacher Ling said coldly.
"You even killed your own husband?" I cried out.
"My family and his family live next to each other, and we are a pair of childhood sweethearts. He was very smart and a scientist since he was a child, and he vowed to be a good scientist when he grew up. Later, he became interested in architecture and became a designer. ”
Teacher Ling ignored me, and Gu Zi recalled the past, "He didn't know that he and I could be regarded as peers to some extent. That year, he told me that one of his former classmates was going to open a new school, and that the new school building was going to be built on the property that a large family had just sold. I asked him at the time, why did the family sell the property, was it because of natural disasters or man-made disasters? He said that it was just because the aunt of that family had just given birth to a son and did not want to live in it anymore, so he sold the land and built another luxurious 'villa' to live. As soon as I heard it, I knew there must be something strange in it. It is a great joy to add Ding, but you must not sell your land and move at the same time, which will have a great impact on the child's life. So, I secretly went there that day to check and inquire about the family's situation by the way.
As soon as I approached, I felt a strange force lingering there, which should be very powerful, but it was strange, because it was extremely unstable, like a candle swaying in the wind, appearing and disappearing. With a vague sense of foreboding in my heart, I walked in, and the place that had once been a house in the wall was now covered with rubble, and the family had moved away with great speed, and even the house where they had lived had been razed to the ground.
As far as the eye could see, it was a large empty area, and the cold and biting wind was blowing from nowhere, all gathered in the middle of the courtyard, and kept rotating strangely against the ground, as if it would never stop. In mid-air, a terrifying blood-red light covered the land like a large arc-shaped net. The earth under the rubble was dark black, but with a tinge of scarlet, as if it had been embedded with coagulated blood. I stomped my foot hard, not to mention footprints, not even a trace of floating dust flew up, and it was as hard as granite.
I know that that powerful strange force has seriously damaged the earth's qi here, causing the five elements to be confused, yin and yang disappearing, and this place has become a "three-yin desperate land". I was chilled, and I stood there as if I had fallen into an evil spirit, and the blood-red light jumped in front of my eyes, and gradually, it turned into a blood flower flying in the sky! I seem to have foreseen the tragic fate that will follow, but I can't change it. ”
"How can there be no way? You can tell your husband about this! Ge Hong couldn't help but interject.
"Tell him? …… You go and explain to a designer who has been trained in a new school and believes in science what it means to be a 'three-yin and a desperate land'? Teacher Ling smiled bitterly, "If you hadn't experienced it yourself, would you believe this kind of unbelievable thing?" ”
"So...... What about you? How do you know that? Qi Zhen clenched his fists, as if he was trying his best to endure something, and his expression was very strange.
"I've said it a long time ago, and he and I can be considered peers in a way." Teacher Ling glanced at Chang Qing, "I learned the art of Kanyu. ”
"Kanyu? What kind of profession is that? Xu Shan and Ge Hong looked at each other blankly.
"She's a feng shui master." Chang Qing and I answered at the same time.
Teacher Ling bowed slightly at me: "Yes, this is what I have been doing since elementary school." Originally, even if it was a 'three-yin desperate land', I had a way to reverse it. It's just that, in the face of that strange red light, I suddenly felt frightened, my mind was blank, and I couldn't think of anything, I guessed that it had the power to deter the soul.
It took me a long time before I got up and left the house, and went to the neighbors to inquire about the family. It turned out that the male owner of the family was engaged in the silk business, originally from southern Fujian, and his original wife was his fellow villager, with six aunts. His fourth wife had recently bore him a son, his only child. However, the child has been sick and dying since birth. I don't know whose idea he listened to, so he sold the house where his family had lived for many years at a low price, and bought a large-scale private garden left by a wealthy merchant in the former Qing Dynasty to live. I think this was supposed to be against that child, but it's hard to determine who did it. ”
Hokkien? Doing silk business? Oh, my God! Isn't that Sun Anning's house! An eerie red light, a powerful but unstable force...... Could it be that the root of all this is this "spirit stone"?
My complexion changed drastically, and I instinctively looked down at the spirit stone.
"You get it, don't you?" Teacher Ling smiled sadly, her eyes staring at the spirit stone, hatred bursting out from her body. I have only seen this kind of hatred in Sun Anning.
"No...... No, I don't understand. You said that, that red light was against Sun ...... That kid, and said that you have a way to reverse the 'Three Yin Jedi', and later, how could it be ......?"
"Twist? When have you ever seen Providence that can be reversed? I tried my best to avoid that tragic fate. It's a pity that it still didn't work after all! My husband didn't listen to me, he and the principal chose a place, designed the drawings for the new building, and immediately started construction. On the day of the building, our only son died tragically on the street! Two days later, I was also dead at home. I was so grieved that I fell into a basin full of boiling water and died. After I died, my husband committed suicide in this building. ”
"Nonsense! Isn't he missing? Qi Zhen sneered.
"You say he killed himself, but what about his body? Why is it gone? And those principals and students who disappeared later, why are their bodies gone? Chang Qing's eyes burned, and he stared at Teacher Ling for a moment, "It can't be eaten by you, right?" …… Or did you swallow their souls as well?"
"It turns out that you are not so useless!" Teacher Ling looked surprised.
"Soul Eater!"
"Eat...... Eat corpses! Ge Hong and Xu Shan exclaimed in unison, hugged each other again and began to tremble.
"Evergreen, don't talk nonsense! How is this possible? "I don't believe it, even if it's a powerful ghost, it's "the body destroys the gods, leaving only the void form", I only heard that I want to kill people, how can I devour souls, let alone devour corpses!
Chang Qing swept away the weak appearance due to blood loss just now, and became radiant: "Because you love your only son deeply, but you can't save him from a tragic death, so you simply jumped into the boiling water, stabbed him into the heart with a knife, and before he died, he used his own 'heart and blood' to cast a spell to refine his soul, and then lured your husband to the old building to kill, and then used his corpse and soul as a guide to perform the 'soul devouring technique' so that you and your son can' Soul possession of God', using the desperate place of the old building as a place to rely on, using killing to create unjust souls, and then devouring souls to maintain your false existence! ”
I stared blankly at Chang Qing, and at some point, his forehead stopped bleeding, his eyes were like torches, and his expression was so bright that it made me feel strange. And what he said just now made me even more stunned, Teacher Ling was able to refine his own soul before he died, which is not something that ordinary feng shui masters can do; What else is the "Soul Devouring Technique", as soon as you hear it, you know that it is an evil art, and where did Teacher Ling learn it?
"False? Hmph, is it true that only your existence is real? There are so many people in this world, who are drunk and dreaming of death, what is the point of their existence? Teacher Ling scoffed at Chang Qing's words.
"So, the existence built on the killing makes sense?" Chang Qing asked with a sneer.
"Since my mother and I can exist, it must be meaningful. As for killing, that's a means. As long as the goal can be achieved, isn't it understandable what kind of means are used to promote it? Isn't that the same rule that you follow? I love my mother. Mom loves me too, and neither of us can lose each other. Therefore, we chose this method, with the help of the 'Three Yin Desperate Land' and that strange power, to create unjust souls that were dying, and then cast spells to devour them, and my mother and I could live forever. Oh, by the way, because of the limitations of the spells, those people must die miserably; And because of the instability of our strength, we can't kill very often, so let's kill a batch every ten years! The boy in blue seemed to be deliberately trying to stimulate us, and he actually showed a sweet smile.
Although his smile is like a spring flower, we are like a cold winter, and this is probably the most chilling smile we have ever seen in our lives. The fact that he said such a bloody and cruel thing so lightly and for granted only proves that he is really not human, and all the beautiful emotions of human beings: kindness, friendship, sympathy, pity...... It's all gone in him!
Teacher Ling on the side listened quietly, but his expression was indifferent, and his eyes were even more unsettling, obviously not thinking that there was anything wrong.
Ling ...... Teacher Ling, do you want to continue...... Will it continue like this? My voice was hard and trembling, and it was hard to hide the sadness in my tone.
"Silly boy, do you need to ask a question that you already know the answer to? …… If heaven and earth are unkind, why should I pity others? Life and death, it's up to me! Teacher Ling narrated and slowly took a step forward.
But somehow, my eyes were dazzled, and she had come to me, and there was a cold murderous intent in her eyes. Her long hair was windless, and her whole person seemed to have turned into a cold and shining blade. She raised her hand, and a blue-gray light slashed at my head.
I didn't move, I didn't know if it was negative or too sad, and I thought to myself: Even Teacher Ling treated me like this, it's better to die!
As soon as this thought flashed, out of the corner of my eye, I caught a glimpse of a gray behemoth flying towards me, knocking me several meters away at once, and then falling to the ground together.
At the same time, a dazzling red light shone directly at Teacher Ling and the boy in blue, and at the place of the red light, a huge bright yellow rune paper unfolded one after another, and several seal characters written in red cinnabar stood out on it. A voice that I was quite familiar with, chanting some indecipherable sentences in a low voice, those few seal characters immediately came alive, they jumped out, surrounded Teacher Ling and the boy in blue, and the bright red color made them look particularly murderous.
With a soft click, nine points of light appeared on the rune paper, and in an instant, the points of light turned into nine huge colorful glass lamps, radiating a blazing white light. A cold wind blew, and the pure white light flickered like water droplets, swaying, and small white lights sprung up everywhere as if after a rain, and the brilliant light gave warmth and vitality to this originally gloomy and dark dead land.
A long-lost figure appeared next to Chang Qing, and his righteous and radiant eyes made his ordinary and slightly old face shine at this moment.
"Uncle Chang!"
"Uncle, you're finally here!"
Evergreen and I shouted at the same time.
Chang Daochang was dressed very neatly today, and I saw that he was wearing a blue-gray Taoist robe, with a bright yellow ribbon around his waist, an old yellow cloth bag on his shoulder, and the pattern of Tai Chi Bagua embroidered on his chest and back.
"Little star, didn't you break it, did you? You kid, she wants to harm you, why don't you hide? Although Chang Dao Chang was saying words of reproach, his expression was concerned, and he didn't seem to blame me at all.
"She's fine. With an uncle here, how can there be anything? Chang Qing tugged at his hair and smiled at Chang Dao.
I touched my waist that I almost broken, stood up slowly, glanced at Changqing, and thought: You said it easily! Then I looked down to see what was knocking me down. At first glance, alas, it turned out to be a person, or a person I am no stranger to, that teacher Wang from the Academic Affairs Office! Thinking that Chang Dao Chang had no time to think about it in a crisis, he threw him over to save me. He was also knocked unconscious, and struggled on the ground a few times before he could get up. He looked at me very embarrassed, his lips twitched a few times, as if he wanted to ask for help but did not dare to speak, and his mediocre face was full of panic and pain, which made him look even more aggrieved.
I originally hated him because of Teacher Ling, but seeing him like this, I felt that he was pitiful, and he saved me just now.
So, reluctantly, I went over to help him. His figure was thin, but he seemed to have taken root, and he couldn't pull it up.
"Don't!" Unexpectedly, Teacher Ling, who had been silently hugging the boy in blue and standing in the circle of light, suddenly rushed towards us with a shout.
Chang Dao waved his hand and said coldly: "At this time, if you still don't know how to repent, then let you understand the power of the 'Nine Shadows Lantern Array'!" ”
As soon as the words fell, the nine glass lamps rose together, and the white light intertwined into a brilliant light curtain, firmly covering Teacher Ling and the boy in blue, and the bright red seal characters were stretched and enlarged, like a cluster of blazing flames, and Mount Tai pressed on the top of their heads. The boy in blue screamed, his facial features began to distort and deform, and gray shadows with unrecognizable faces and blurred figures flew out of his body. As soon as the gray shadows touched the light curtain, they dissipated into a puff of light smoke and dissipated into the air.
Teacher Ling's body trembled violently, his teeth clenched his lips, his expression was extremely painful, he could no longer move forward, and he could not say anything. But she still stared at me, reaching out to me in vain, her eyes full of helplessness and bitterness, as if she wanted to tell me something important but could not express it.
My heart softened, and I let go of Teacher Wang, wanting to shake Teacher Ling's hand.
"Danger, don't go over!" Chang Daochang and Chang Qing shouted in unison, and Qi Zhenyan jumped over quickly, and dragged me back.
"Don't pull me! Teacher Ling, you ...... "I intuitively feel that Teacher Ling really has something important to say to me.
"Little Star, don't mess around!" Chang Dao Chang interrupted my words, and at the same time flicked his middle finger lightly, the light curtain suddenly closed, and Teacher Ling and the boy in blue were restrained into a long one, and their figures gradually faded, and finally faded like an illusory shadow.
Teacher Ling still stretched out her hand, and the boy in blue snuggled up to her, but their figures shattered into thousands of pieces in an instant like foam in water, blending into the air and ceasing to exist!
