Chapter 34: Choice
"Get out of the car with me," the man said in a deep voice, "it's a ghost car!" ”
Hearing this, I let out a "chuckle" in my heart, stunned for a few seconds, and replied, "Don't talk nonsense, it's not suitable for pranks at this time." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”
"You must believe me, now that the yang energy is heavy, it is difficult for them to start, and when the sun goes down, it will be too late!" Seeing that I didn't believe it, the man's expression became more and more anxious.
I glanced at Xiao Zhang, and he was also stunned, not knowing what to do.
Seeing that we didn't react, the man increased the strength of his hand, and pulled me to the door, and was about to drag me out of the car, but Xiao Zhang naturally followed.
Just as the man was about to pull me out of the car, a thin old man sitting at the door of the car suddenly raised his hand and grabbed my wrist with a "snap", I was startled, and I heard the old man say, "Young man, I see that you are acting a little strangely, do you see something unclean?" ”
"Huh?" I'm confused.
"People who die in such barren mountains and mountains, their souls are not at peace, wandering around, looking for you young and strong young men to be substitutes for the dead ghosts," the old man looked serious, "there are many people in this car, and the yang energy is heavy, they are not easy to start, they will try their best to trick you out of the car, you can go and don't be fooled, otherwise, you don't know how you died." ”
"Hiss~" I gasped, and then looked at Xiao Zhang, his face was white, beads of sweat were already oozing from his forehead, and he was also staring at me, at this moment time seemed to freeze, and the atmosphere became very tense.
The man said it was a ghost car, and the car was full of ghosts, and told me to get out of the car quickly, but the old man said that the man was a ghost, so let's not be fooled.
Oh my God, who am I supposed to trust?
Seeing my abnormality, the man increased the strength of his hand, this guy must have practiced, his strength is greater than mine, and the old man is not far behind, both of them are going to break my arm.
"Stop!" I yelled, broke free of the two of them, and also managed to attract the attention of the whole car, I glanced around the car with my eyes, and found that there was something wrong with the way those people looked at me, and the expressions on their faces were always a little stiff and fake, as if they could be made.
The old man stretched out his hand and wanted to pull me, I flashed to the side, he pulled an empty one, his hand touched my body, "snort", a wisp of white smoke came out, the old man screamed, and retracted his hand.
I shook my body and quickly touched the place where the old man had touched it, and found a bunch of keys, as well as a mahogany talisman attached to the keychain.
This peach wood talisman was given to me by Lao Zhao before leaving, saying that it had been opened, and I didn't take it too seriously at that time, and directly dropped it on the keychain as a decoration.
Peach wood, also known as "dragon wood" and "ghost wood", has an extremely important position in China's folk culture and beliefs, and is the most widely used material for cutting down evil spirits and making ghosts.
Legend has it that when he praised his father day by day, he drank the water of Hewei, the river Wei was insufficient, and he drank Daze in the north, but he died of thirst on the road, and before he died, he threw away his cane and turned into a peach forest.
There is also a legend that Hou Yi was killed by his apprentice Feng Meng, Feng Meng's tool for plotting Hou Yi was a peach wood cane, and Hou Yi rose to the god after his death, and the god's name was Zongbu. Holding a tiger in his hand, he leads the inspection of ten thousand ghosts and is the king of ghosts. If there is an evil ghost in the ghost, it will be eaten by the tiger, and the peach wood can kill the ghost king, and it can avoid ghosts.
The earliest Spring Festival couplets in my country are made of peach wood boards, also known as peach charms, and now this old man is injured by the peach wood charm on my waist, which shows that the man's words are right, this bus really has a problem.
I didn't say a word to Xiao Zhang, and then followed the man and got out of the car, and there was a man of the same age standing under the car.
Seeing us, the man waiting under the car breathed a sigh of relief, didn't even say a word, plunged into the mountains and forests on the side of the road, and waved at us.
I hesitated with Xiao Zhang for a moment, followed up, and took the man who got us off the car.
Seeing that the sun is about to set, it is not really a wise choice to go into the mountains at this time, but it is much better than staying on the road with those things.
"Actually, we should have seen the problem a long time ago," Xiao Zhang whispered to me as he searched for a place to settle among the weeds and dead branches, "First, the curtains in the car are all drawn, and the light inside is very dim, which means that those things can't see the light; Second, usually when we encounter traffic jams on the road, we are so angry that we want to scold our mother, but this bus broke down for so long, and those passengers did not complain at all......"
The more he spoke, the more my cold sweat broke out, and I was afraid for a while, but the two of us were really lucky, every time like this, there will be noble people to help, and I am ashamed to say that I almost misunderstood others.
It seems that when you encounter something in the future, wait for a long time to think about it.
Wait a minute......
Did I really almost misunderstand him at the time, was what the old man said really false?
A terrible thought arose from my heart, our concept of right and wrong, since childhood, has been influenced by those cartoons and has become a little deformed, those cartoons, even film and television works, literary works, instilled in us those absolute views of right and wrong, for example, a bad person, everything he says is wrong, a good person must be good and pure, without any shortcomings.
But is that really the case?
Why should I choose to believe this man? Because I proved that the old man was a ghost.
It's a misconception because they give me a choice, so I deny one and naturally choose to believe in the other.
To give an inappropriate example, the two adjacent soy milk shops, they sell exactly the same soy milk in terms of taste and price, but the one on the right makes a lot more money every day than the one on the left, because the one on the left has to ask customers whether to add eggs when selling soy milk every day, so those who like to eat eggs often choose to add an egg, and those who don't like to eat eggs often choose not to add eggs.
The one on the right directly asks the customer whether to add one egg or two eggs, add two if you like to eat eggs, add one if you don't like to eat, of course, you can choose not to add, but this choice is often ignored.
I mean, why should I trust any of them? What if these two people are also ghosts?
At this time, I suddenly thought of the tombstone I had just seen on the side of the road, the two explorers who were killed.
Maybe the old man's words are also right......
"Thank you for coming to the rescue," I suppressed the fear in my heart and said tentatively, "My name is Li Mo, this kid is Zhang Sanfeng, I don't know what the two of you call me?" ”
"My name is Liu Jiabing, and the one in front is my younger brother Liu Yiding," the man's words confirmed my conjecture, "You can call me Brother Liu." ”
