Lu Shengcai habitually scratched his temples and muttered, "Didn't you say you won't come back tonight?" ”

I casually asked, "You've always had someone in your house?" ”

Lu Shengcai glanced at me like an idiot: "Are you stupid?" If there is no one in the house, who can turn on the lights? ”

So saying, he unlocked the door with the key and led me into the courtyard.

The reason why I asked that question just now was because the courtyard door of their house was locked from the outside, and looking at the fist-sized iron lock hanging from the nose of the door, I was thinking, if there were people in his house all the time, why should this door be locked?

Thinking of this, I feel a little more vigilant in my heart, Master said that evil spirits are always more cunning than imagined, and we must always be vigilant in order to avoid their ways.

I can't blame me for being too careful, after all, the geographical location of Lu Shengcai's family is too special.

Before following Lu Shengcai into the house, I glanced around the yard twice, but I didn't find anything special, but there was an old tree in the corner of the courtyard slowly swaying its branches in the night breeze, which looked like a ghost hand coming out of the ground from a distance, which made people feel extremely uncomfortable.

When Lu Shengcai opened the door, I couldn't help frowning twice.

The lights in their house were too dim, reflecting the whole house a dark earthy yellow, and the lights were not particularly stable, the chandelier hanging on the roof occasionally flickered twice, it looked like it was in poor contact, and it would suddenly go out at some point.

Lu Shengcai muttered to himself while changing his shoes: "Why is the lamp broken again, I have to find someone to repair it when I go back." ”

I asked him, "How often does this happen in your family?" ”

"No, or I won't dare to come back, it's like a haunted house all day long."

"And you still live here?"

"No way, in my father's words......" Halfway through speaking, he leaned into my ear and lowered his voice very low: "As long as I live in this kind of place for a long time and have the courage to practice, I will be able to have more capital to save my life in the future." To be honest, I didn't think anything was wrong with my home before, but since I ran into a ghost hitting the wall, I feel that my home is very dangerous. Don't get me wrong, I'm not afraid of ghosts, I'm afraid of death. ”

As he spoke, he deliberately looked behind him twice, as if he was afraid that the people in the room would hear what he was saying.

I also lowered my voice: "You came to me because you want me to exorcise evil spirits for you?" ”

"Don't get me wrong, I didn't mean that, I originally wanted to go to your house, but you wanted to come by yourself."

As he spoke, he handed over a pair of slippers.

I didn't change my shoes, just wiped the soles of my shoes with a tissue and followed him into the living room.

It's really hard to feel at ease, so I'm afraid that if I change into slippers, it will cause me to have difficulty moving later.

Lu Shengcai took me to the sofa, passing by a bedroom on the way, the door was open, the bedroom was brighter, I subconsciously glanced into the door, and I saw a thin woman lying on the desk, her back to me, I couldn't see her face, I didn't know what she was doing.

At this time, I heard Lu Shengcai speak: "Mom, why are you back, what about my dad?" ”

"Didn't come back."

The woman in the room replied softly, and the voice sounded unusually hollow, not like the sound of a human mouth, but like the sound of the wind blowing from a deep cavern.

But Lu Shengcai didn't seem to care, squatted on the sofa and turned on the TV.

Earlier, this kid said that his parents are like ghosts all day long, maybe her mother is usually like this.

Still not reassured, I stuffed two scrolls of talismans into my cuffs in case I needed them.

The TV screen flashed with colored lights, and I glanced at the wall clock on the wall, and it was half past two in the morning. It's all this time, Lu Shengcai is still nesting on the sofa watching TV, not only does his mother ignore him, but he doesn't sleep himself, which is abnormal enough.

At this time, the hollow and deep voice came from the direction of the bedroom: "Shengcai, do you know where our gilded hand stove is?" ”

Lu Shengcai was stunned: "Gilt hand furnace? We still have this kind of thing in our house, why don't I know? There is a gilded incense burner, which is in the Buddha hall. ”

As soon as I heard the words "gilded hand stove", my heart trembled.

The reason why Master and I came to this mountain city in the first place was because of the gilded hand furnace.

After casually responding to such a mouthful, Lu Shengcai paid attention to the TV again.

Their TV is also very strange, a screen is divided into eight small grids, each grid is showing a different program, and the picture is dark, the color contrast is very weak, I stared at one of the grids for a while, my eyes were a little glazed.

Look at Lu Shengcai again, this guy is staring at the center of the TV screen, there is no focus in his eyes, but the breath on his body is very stable.

Instead of wandering his mind, he was distracting himself and watching eight shows on TV at the same time.

I did a similar training when I was standing on the pile.

Now I finally understand why Lu Shengcai is always inattentive, if he does similar training for a long time, he can indeed practice to see and hear in all directions, but it will also lead to too much distraction. Such people can do several things well at the same time, but if they are allowed to focus on only one thing, they will never be able to settle down.

Lu Shengcai's dyslexia also comes from this, if you let him read eight books at the same time, he will definitely be fine, but if you only let him concentrate on reading one book, he will definitely be dazzled.

The reason why I don't have such a problem as Lu Shengcai is because I not only have to practice distraction, but also practice concentration, and my mind can be retracted and released freely, and Lu Shengcai obviously only practices distraction.

At that time, my main attention was on Lu Shengcai, but I kept glancing at the bedroom door, and Lu Shengcai's attention seemed to be attracted by the TV, and I had no time to pay attention to anything else.

At this moment, the woman in the bedroom walked to the door quietly, but did not come out, and stood silently under the door frame, for I had only the peripheral light in that position, so that I could not see her exact appearance, only an outline.

In the afterglow, there seemed to be a faint shadow pressed on her body, and the whole person looked relatively gray, although I couldn't see her face clearly, but I don't know why, I seemed to be able to sense her empty eyes.

It was like two bottomless holes, facing me and Lu Shengcai motionlessly at this time.

I quietly pulled a gap in the cuffs, revealing half of the rune scroll.

"I'll go out." Just as I was thinking about whether to make the first move, the woman at the bedroom door suddenly said this, and then turned and walked towards the door.

I could only see her leave in the peripheral vision, but when she walked, there was no movement under her feet.

Not long after, there was a "squeak" sound in the direction of the porch, the door was opened, and the cold wind instantly poured into the living room.
